Q: Automated testing for iPhone I know this one is going to be a long-shot, but I thought I'd try.  Does anyone know of any automated test anything for the iPhone simulator?  I'd love it if there was something like Selenium but for the iPhone simulator.  I don't need anything fancy like assertions, just something that can fake out taps on a screen so I can stop abusing my trackpad. :)
Is there a way to send taps or keyevents (like on android over adb) to iOS devices?

A: Try this:

A: Good luck with trying to automate iOS platform with JS. By the time QA gets proficient with JS, well you wouldn't have to be QA anymore. There is plenty of us out there that are familiar with Selenium which in turns means you know Java to some extent. I have found a way to automate iOS using complete open source with Java Libraries.
I put up a video on it:
http://www.vimeo.com/21999946
I will will be putting up more in depth video shortly.
And since its Java it works perfectly with Junit, ANT, Maven in any CI environment.

A: Here's an article about automated user interface testing for the iPhone that you may find helpful.  It's a little kludgy but it probably gets the job done for certain tasks.  Note that I haven't yet tried it myself.

A: Check out UISpec http://code.google.com/p/uispec/
It's BDD testing framework that lets you "drive" the iphone simulator.

Have Fun!

A: There's also Keynote products. They have:
Test Center Enterprise Interactive (App platform, any device with website / app. Internal / external facing apps and websites, manual testing.)
Test Center Enterprise Automation (App platform, any device with website / app. WITH scripting.)
Test Center Developer (App platform, any device with website / app, manual, no scripting.)
Unknown costs involved, you have to call them. But the feature set is very impressive. They have multiple real devices for each handset and you just select which one you use. If they are in use you can book them etc. I think this is the ultimate option for testing any mobile app.

"The Kingdom Assembly of Iran" assumed responsibility for explosion in "Shahroud" Refinery
Posted by r7105 on 2016-10-15 in News | 0 Comment
On Friday the 16th of the month of Mehr (October 7th, 2016), at 1:30 am, the Peshmerga (Predestined To Die Outfit) of "The Kingdom Assembly of Iran" (Anjoman-e Padeshahi-e Iran aka API), detonated a powerful explosive next to one of the petroleum tanks of the "Shahroud" Refinery, and this detonation set the entire area afire and demolished the entire facility.
In this operation, according to the previously planned work, there were no human casualties, and the entire group of the Bardia faction (Anjoman-e Bardia) returned to their previous safely.
Spokesman of the Bardia faction, after giving permission to publish this attack in his audio report, stated that this facility was like thousand other economic assets which are under the control of the Commander of the Sepahe Pasdaran outfit, also known as the "commanders of the 60's era". According to the report, "Sepahis consider the wealth of the Iranian Public as their inheritance from their whore mothers and therefore are not accountable to anyone". He further states that "We shall not permit those bastards swallow a drink of water in peace, much less we shall not permit those illegitimate sons of Seyyeds (the posterity of Prophet Mohammad) to plunder the wealth of the Iranian youth.
He also pointed out that: "Combative activities of the organization continues to expand, both numerically as well as categorically. We are asking our compatriots to stay away from Pasdar and Basiji neighborhoods. Do not associate with them. Do not work for them. Do not have economic dealings with them. We cannot always work with such precision and guarantee the safety of innocent bystanders."
It should be called to your attention that API in its declaration of Shahrivar the 27th, gave notice to the Commander of the Pasdaran that for the next 120 days API will limit its activities to warning activities. During the past three weeks we have performs two acts of this nature successfully with no casualties.
The news media within the regime are not permitted to publicize API acts, and usually when API assumes responsibility for such acts authorities immediately go into action and censor the relevant news.
This foolish reactions of the pasdaran in the past weeks reached such proportions that when the official News Service of the Regime (IRNA) leaked information about the "Abdanan" sound-bombing, the pasdaran panicked and forced the network to briefly shut down.
It is clear, as the number of API attacks increase, this controlling function will fail. In the meantime, we are urge Iranians to propagate our published materials and distribute our Declaration of Intent of Shahrivar 27th to prevent human losses resulting from or in progress of API attacks.

Q: Authenticate WebSerivce with Facebook/OpenID Simplified background:

*

*Website that allows users to upload and comment some content, let's say images (classic CRUD web application).

*Three ways to sing in into the system: classic username/password form, Facebook Conntect, OpenID (Google).

*Public API that allows to read data from the system and create content (authenticated users).

*Mobile (iOS/Android) application that uses API.

Problem:
Just like the website, the mobile application should provide FBConnect/OpenID authentication. However, I have absolutley no idea how to authenticate such an user in the website's public API.
How to create a secure authentication mechanism for mobile application that uses FB/Google for its authentication and on the same time uses my API for authenticated users?

A secret forensic survey revealed some five-star hotels in Melbourne, Australia have a serious hygiene problem.
Armed with swab tests and a black light, former police forensic investigator Peter Guerin scrutinized seven of Melbourne's top hotels. What he found was nauseating: mold in bathrooms, urine stained toilets, human body matter in beds, and even strains of dangerous bacteria such as E coli.
None of the hotels passed inspection. In every hotel tested, Guerin found an "unacceptable level" of potentially health-threatening microbes.


Price Law Group specializes in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy services to residents in Phoenix Arizona that are looking to take control of their financial situation through bankruptcy. When you are living paycheck to paycheck it can be stressful, especially if trying to make ends meet. Our experienced bankruptcy attorneys understand the situation you are in and will help guide you through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Phoenix Arizona.
There are typically two options available to residents of Phoenix that are considering filing for bankruptcy, Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We can help determine which bankruptcy is right for your financial situation.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as "liquidation" or "straight bankruptcy" offers protection to filers from their creditors and relief from many of the debts that have contributed to their overall financial hardship. If you are struggling to make ends meet and living paycheck to paycheck, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the answer to your financial woes, allowing you to clear most of your outstanding debts quickly, letting you take control of your financial future. There is a means test to Chapter 7 bankruptcy meaning that you must qualify for this type of bankruptcy and our Phoenix bankruptcy attorneys will help determine if you are eligible for Chapter 7.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as "wage-earners" bankruptcy is type of bankruptcy that provides a person the ability to start fresh, but still requires the filer to pay off some of their outstanding debts. Phoenix residents that file under Chapter 13 will have monies set aside to cover rent or a house payment, utilities, a car payment, etc. but the majority of your income will be put towards paying off your outstanding debts calculated over a 3 to 5 year period.
We have licensed bankruptcy attorneys across the state of Arizona, so even if you aren't in Phoenix please give us a call and let us help you take control of your financial situation. Our Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorneys can help you start fresh in your financial life.

Q: Closed-form solution for $f(n) = \sum_{k>0}\binom{n}{2k}x^{k}$ without $\sqrt{x}$ Is it possible to reformulate the expression
$$
(1+\sqrt{x})^n + (1-\sqrt{x})^n
$$
in the form that contains no square roots of $x$ and no iterative sums (i.e. can be computed in constant time)?
Note that $(1+\sqrt{x})^n + (1-\sqrt{x})^n = \sum_{k>0}\binom{n}{2k}x^{k}$ which proves that it produces only integer solutions for integer $x$ and $n$. This means that I have either $\sqrt{x}$ or iterative summation. Can one get rid of both in the same expression?


For Tribal Chief Albert Naquin of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe, the slow sinking of the land - The Isle de Jean Charles - is only a small portion of his fears. With it sinks the culture and heritage of the once proud tribe. An island that once housed 300 people and over 8 generations of their community, The Isle de Jean Charles has been eroded by storms and rising water levels losing 98% of land to water. Today only around 60 tribesmen remain, reluctant to relocate for a fear of losing their identity forever.
The island is slowly disappearing into the gulf waters due to climatic changes, rising water levels, and shifting soil due to oil excavation. Marshland that previously protected their land and its nutrients, have all but sunk at a rate of nearly one football field every hour.
In an effort to preserve the tribe's heritage, the Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded the tribe $48 million to relocate through the National Disaster Resilience Competition.
The resettlement proposal aims at moving the remaining tribesmen to better and more historically and culturally appropriate locations in an effort to test adaptive methods and provide them with better living options. Most of the tribesmen are financially unable to relocate and fear losing their heritage. Relocating will only help reunite and strengthen and put to ease existing fears of extinction.

Traveling the World in Search of Our Next Home
Arches, Aqueducts, and Amphitheaters in Avignon, France
Mike Ballard	3 August 2018 0 Comments
With its Euro-centric location, its relatively open borders, and its wealth of natural and cultural wonders, it's really not surprising that France stands out as the most visited country in the world.
For all of these reasons and more, France became the focal point for our month-long road trip around Europe.
France boasts an incredible 41 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the history teacher in me couldn't help but plan a route that would allow us to visit as many as possible. So, after our tour of Le Cité de Carcassonne, we ventured to the historical hub that is Avignon.
Some of my favorite stories center around the intrigue and deception that was Avignon in the 1300s. Popes who imprison and murder kings. Kings who exact revenge and tear at the very fabric of medieval Catholicism. Competing popes who denounce each other as anitpopes and excommunicate each other's supporters. For a brief period, every Christian was technically condemned to hell for following a rival pope.
And Avignon sits right in the center of all that delicious history.
In desperate need of some rest and guaranteed air conditioning, we decided to spend a couple of days in Avignon, staying at an Ibis Budget Hotel just inside the ancient city walls that skirt along the eastern bank of the Rhône River.
We were within walking distance of the Palais des Papes, that renowned seat of heresy, or legitimacy, depending on your politics. We ventured through twisting, cobblestone-mosaic medieval streets, enjoying baguettes and pastries created from timeless recipes that smelled too good to pass up. Milling through street performers, organized tour groups, and skateboarders who somehow navigated the rough roads with ease. A mix of the very old with the very new that had a dizzying effect.
Skateboard kids lounging where pikemen once stood rigid at attention.
The palace itself is a grand and austere thing, with an imposing facade designed to intimidate as it impresses, with cross-shaped meurtrières guarding the entrance and a host of formidable buildings surrounding the courtyard. Once the lodging for lesser religious officers, these structures now house high-end hotels, restaurants, and coffee shops.
On this day, the shade was scarce and the heat oppressive. We wandered to the north end of the palace and through a side gate that led to a rocky hillock known as Rocher des Doms. Capped by wonderful, lush gardens that include several fountains and a splendid little café, this peaceful place served as the cradle of civilization for Avignon. Artifacts from the neolithic period have been found here, evincing that the site of Avignon has been inhabited for 12,000 years.
But the papal palace is only one of four UNESCO World Heritage sites within a thirty-minute drive from the walls of Avignon, the others being the triumphal arch of Orange, the Pont-du-Gard aqueduct, and the Arles amphitheater. We had some history to see!
We first drove north to the commune of Orange. Once a powerful provincial city of Rome, Orange now claims just over 30,000 residents. But the vestiges of the city's Roman power remain in the form of several heritage sites, including a well-preserved amphitheater and a triumphal arch that still welcomes visitors with a demonstration of Rome's ancient reach.
Next we looped to the southwest for a visit to the Pont-du-Gard, a Roman aqueduct dating from the first century A.D. Admittedly, none of us were initially excited about the stop. It was a UNESCO site, so that was enough for us to make the journey, but the thought of an aqueduct just didn't seem too thrilling.
Like so often happens during travel, however, the lowest expectations often deliver the greatest rewards.
In a word, the Pont-du-Gard is amazing! It is a massive, well-preserved, and accessible structure. You can walk its length and swim in the Gardon River beneath its central arches. Kayak tours cruise along the length of the river and local kids leap from the low cliffs along the river banks.
Even the accompanying museum was intriguing.
We are not typically museum people. I mean, we enjoy an art museum, but those that focus on artifacts seem a bit sad to me. Important, precious things taken from their place in time and space to be put on display, sterilized and undervalued. Like a museum of natural history where the animal eyes that look back at you are cold, distant, and dead.
Such was not the case with this museum, however. It was beautiful, dark, and playful. Instead of bringing artifacts into a modern world, this museum transported the visitor to an ancient time in a way that both informed and entertained. Even the children wandering among the vignettes spoke in hushed tones.
We enjoyed the Pont-du-Gard site and museum so much, in fact, that time got away from us. We emerged from the cool, dark museum to a quickly setting sun. Unfortunately, that meant we would be unable to visit the Roman amphitheater in Arles on this trip.
Our time in and around Avignon was done, and we had dinner plans that evening with our dear friends in Marseilles. Arles would have to wait for another time.

J.T. Smith
John T. Smith[2][1] is an American retired professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, J.T. Smith. He is best known for his appearances with Extreme Championship Wrestling in the 1990s.
Smith's greatest success came as a result of a legitimate mistake. In 1995, in his first match back after recovering from a previous injury, Smith attempted a suicide dive to the outside, but failed to get enough elevation; his knee pads caught on the ropes and he landed head-first on the arena floor. This resulted in a large, softball-sized swelling on his head, but Smith was able to improvise a finish to the match. Paul Heyman turned this into a comedic storyline where Smith's injury and resulting concussion gave him mild brain damage, and he began believing he was Italian, even talking with an Italian accent. Smith also began pretending to botch other maneuvers on a regular basis. He befriended Italian wrestler "Big" Val Puccio, and started behaving like a cheerful but arrogant villain. The ECW fans jeered Smith when he attempted a maneuver and failed, but this time with a degree of affection.
This successful gimmick continued, and resulted in the formation a faction known as The Full Blooded Italians along with Little Guido, Tracy Smothers and Tommy Rich. While the F.B.I. claimed to be purebred Italians, the fact that Smothers and Rich were Southern and Smith was African American made this claim obviously dubious. Nonetheless, the F.B.I. achieved a degree of success as they won the World Tag Team Championship twice.

Books|James Agee: Journalist, Critic, Novelist, Screenwriter
James Agee: Journalist, Critic, Novelist, Screenwriter
By John Leonard
Film Writing and Selected Journalism.
Edited by Michael Sragow.
Illustrated. 748 pp. Library of America. $40.
Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A
Death in the Family, and Shorter Fiction.
Not every photograph ever snapped of James Agee caught him between pulls on a bottle or puffs on a cigarette. It only seems that way because the journalist/critic/novelist/screenwriter drank and smoked himself to death at 45, in 1955, at a time when postwar American culture conflated art with martyrdom and manhood with excess. Think of the poets lost to lithium, loony bins and suicide, the jazz musicians strung up and out on heroin, the abstract expressionists who slashed and burned themselves. Delmore Schwartz, Charlie Parker and Jackson Pollock pointed the way for Jack Kerouac, James Dean, Truman Capote, John Berryman, Elvis, Janis and Jimi. Like the Greek warrior Philoctetes, hadn't they been allowed to play so brilliantly with their bows and arrows because they suffered suppurating wounds? So the iconic image, emblematic and self-destructive, was the Shadow Man -- a Humphrey Bogart, a J. D. Salinger, an Edward R. Murrow, maybe even an Albert Camus. Agee, with his cold blue eyes, his thick dark hair and his handsome hillbilly Huguenot hatchet face, belonged on this wall of tragic-hero masks, at least till he inflated like a frog, from drinking alone in a Hollywood bungalow, and got kicked out of the 20th Century Fox studio commissary because he smelled so bad from never taking a bath.
We would prefer to think of him as some kind of Bodhisattva wannabe, looking for God in all the wrong places. But from his autobiographical fiction, "The Morning Watch" and "A Death in the Family," and from biographies by Geneviève Moreau in 1977 and Laurence Bergreen in 1984, it's obvious that Agee had, ah, anger issues. You would, too, if your nurturing father got himself killed in a one-man car crash when you were only 6 years old, leaving you with an Anglo-Catholic true believer of a mother who not only made you quit Knoxville, Tenn., for a parochial school in the Cumberland sticks, but also came after you with circumcision scissors. Never mind that at St. Andrew's you fell under the protective wing of Father Flye. To make up for having been unable to raise your fists in self-defense when your dad tried to teach you to box, you would now do a lot of damage to small animals.
After which, Exeter, about whose princely privilege Agee complained, but not enough to keep the "outsider" and "lone wolf" from playing piano, writing poems, acting in plays, going to movies, singing in glee club, editing the literary magazine, running the literary society, winning scholarships and drinking gin, not to mention his unrequited crush on another boy and his very requited affair with a girl librarian. It will be more of the same at Harvard, where the Artist as an Ultraserious Young Man polishes the pointy shoes of I. A. Richards, reads Dostoyevsky on wallowing and rapture, writes for The Crimson before becoming president of The Advocate, and wins scholarships and poetry prizes, while his Hillbilly Slob persona chain-smokes Chesterfields until the nicotine stains his fingers orange, arranges for bootleggers to deliver late at night to his dorm, drives a fist through the window of a streetcar that proposes to depart without him, and is arrested for public drunkenness, beaten bloody and tossed in jail.
And then there's the God-Fearing Altar Boy Agee, who comes back from his carousing just in time for early Mass. This is the one he seems to leave behind when he graduates from Harvard to New York, where Dwight Macdonald, with whom he has been corresponding about films since he was at Exeter and Macdonald at Yale, wangles him a writing job at Fortune magazine. Hart Crane hadn't worked out at Fortune but Archibald MacLeish is still going strong. Kindly MacLeish arranges for a book of Agee's to be published in the Yale Younger Poets series while the poet, who can only work at night in the empty Time Inc. offices on the 50th floor of the Chrysler Building with bourbon burning holes in him and Beethoven blasting his eardrums, reads Proust and writes articles on butlers, quinine, orchids and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
He thought he was only on loan to Henry Luce until he could support himself as a serious writer. But his relationship with Time Inc. lasted more than 15 years, longer than any other in his life except those with his sticky mother and Father Flye -- longer, certainly, than his marriage to Via, the daughter of WASP academics, for bourgeois respectability; or his marriage to Alma, the humble Jewish concert musician, for hot sex; or his marriage to Mia, an Austrian Catholic émigré, for forgiving friendship. And much longer than his not-quite-six years at The Nation, for $25 a twice-monthly column plus cult status, where W. H. Auden read him so as to avoid having to go to any movies, followed by the bibulous sabbaticals in Southern California with John Huston and Dorothy Parker, where, because of liver damage, he hallucinated before he went to bed at night and vomited when he got up in the morning.
Time Inc., in fact, was his principal enabler, holding him up so that he could pass out and come to all over again. No sooner had he quit Fortune in 1939 because they stopped publishing his articles -- including his "Summa theologiae" on Alabama sharecropping, with Walker Evans photographs -- than he signed on next door to review six books a week for Time, to which, Bergreen tells us, he reported in the late afternoon, unshaven, disheveled, in a sweat-stained workshirt, where a typewriter waited with a bottle beside it. (Not to mention Whittaker Chambers, his equally odd officemate, who also liked to work alone at night, but this was before Alger Hiss had looked into his teeth.) After which he returned to Greenwich Village and, according to an indignant Bergreen, if Alma happened to be threatening to leave him because of Mia, he'd drag her back up the stairs by the hair on her head. For some reason the chronology in this two-volume Library of America celebration chooses not to mention that Walker Evans slept with at least two of Agee's wives, both times with Agee's encouragement, and once with Agee watching.
Later, when Agee switched from books to movies, the music critic Winthrop Sargeant remembers his drinking whiskey until he couldn't focus, then sobering up with benzedrine, then giving the bottle another suck. Maybe this was because Time chopped his copy down to single paragraphs and stuck in such neologisms as "cinemaddict," "Technicoloration" and "Tarzantics." On the other hand, maybe they sought to punish him for using words like "corybantic" and "prolapsed." At The Nation, where he was almost immediately invited to ruminate on the same films at greater length, with his shoes off, he developed an amazing informality of style altogether unlike anything in the D. H. Lawrentian clotted-cream baroque of "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" -- a passionate chattiness, sly humor and demotic register, forever wary of what he called "rigor artis," that has characterized the best movie criticism ever since. Agee the "social anarchist" may have been the most muddled political mind ever to work for a radical weekly -- not to be read on the subject of race without a wince -- but he knew how to talk to people who hadn't gone to Harvard.
From the Library of America, with almost 1,600 pages to wade around in, one might have hoped for a glimpse of the "Scientists and Tramp" treatment he wrote for Charlie Chaplin, about a utopian barter community after an atom-bomb attack. Or the satirical "Dedication Day," published in Macdonald's magazine, Politics, in which well-behaved citizens of the future are fed Time, Reader's Digest and the New Testament in oral, rectal and intravenous liquid form. Or his essays for New Masses on art for art's sake and The Partisan Review on religion, his television scripts for the "Omnibus" Abe Lincoln series, and his screenplays on Gauguin and Genghis Khan. Besides which, aren't we entitled to some editorial word on whether the 94-page "Night of the Hunter" screenplay printed here is the same one published in "Agee on Film: Five Film Scripts," which Bergreen suggests was really the director Charles Laughton's rewrite of Agee's hopeless 350-page original?
No such luck. But what we do have is quite wonderful. If the two longer fictions are very much of the 1950's, full of existential terror and wild-child Freud, they bear first-rate witness nonetheless to what Salinger stopped writing about and Harold Brodkey maybe should have. Moreover, they were written for the screen in our heads, the Ingmar Bergman that Agee never got to see. If you've read them before, you will remember almost every scene -- the priest, the butterfly and the checkered cap in "A Death in the Family"; the locust shell, the dead snake and the absent God in "The Morning Watch." Although many little boys who cry Tom Wolfe have called "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" the foundational text of the New Parajournalism, there is absolutely no reason to blame Agee for the great white safari jackets and yupscale anchor faces whose idea of reporting is all performance art, no fact-checking, all tease, no scruple, and not to be usefully distinguished from cool ads for heroin and bulimia. (He was a fact fetishist.) Nor should he be held accountable for a new, self-conscious anthropology so afraid it might Heisenberg innocent tribes all over the rain forest just by observing their kinks that it leaves them to starve in their stone age. (He was a bleeding heart.) Instead, think of "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," with its Elizabethan colors, biblical echoes, high glaze, screened pentimento, 80-proof reveries, self-flagellations and excruciating doubts, as James Agee's "Moby-Dick." And like "Moby-Dick," it failed to sell a thousand copies before it was remaindered.
And then he took us to the movies: Pauline Kael once made gentle fun of Agee's favorite value-added words, from "bare and plain and true and honest" to "tender," "disciplined," "vigorous," "masculine" and "healthy." She might have mentioned "virile," "poetic," "humane" and "edged," as well as "vitality," "passion," "immediacy," "momentum" and (not in a good way) "genteelism." He also has a habit of second-thinking his way around to biting his own hand in midcaress: after two paragraphs of praise, for instance, he says: "Such matters aside, however, 'Dragon Seed' is an almost unimaginably bad movie." About "Ivan the Terrible": "Interesting as the film is, the longer I reflect on it the unhappier I feel about it." Or about "Hail the Conquering Hero": "Most certainly Sturges has fine comic and satiric gifts, and knows how to tell more truth than that when he thinks it expedient; but he seldom does."
He hates background music, thinks all movies should get out of the studio and into the countryside, with nonactors instead of stars, and admits to never having read "Jane Eyre," "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" or Chekhov's "Shooting Party." Besides Chaplin and the silent comedians, he chants praisesongs to Angela Lansbury, Groucho Marx, Margaret O'Brien and Keenan Wynn. Orson Welles . . . not so much. About Gilbert and Sullivan he's got some ulterior personal bone to pick. But Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra" is "a play that hankers after greatness (and Greekness) like a schoolgirl with a crush on a bust of Aeschylus" and Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" is "Ibsen for beginners."
Not that he is any more to be trusted than the rest of us, going out of his way to bad-mouth "Casablanca" twice. But we never doubt his generosity and hopefulness, his decent respect for the hard work of others, or his justifiable fear for the future of the medium he loved. And then there is the amiable wit, his whimsies with language. "If 'Wilson' fails, Darryl Zanuck has promised never again to make a picture without Betty Grable." "Mary Martin, I notice with some alarm, is playing Jean Arthur -- a tendency which even Miss Arthur must learn to curb." His imaginary MGM production of "The Brothers Karamazov" would star Fred Astaire as Alyosha K., with "a great dancing sequence called Alyosha's Dream" in which Marlene Dietrich plays Grushenka, the Virgin, Mary Magdalene and Father Zossima.
There should have been so much more that he never wrote. He didn't because he couldn't. From blackouts to coronary thrombosis is not one of the 12 steps. He ought to have paid more attention, if not to his worried doctors, then to his own review of "The Lost Weekend," which spoke of "the workings of the several minds inside a drinker's brain," "the narcissism and self-deceit which are so indispensable," "the self-loathing and self-pity which are so invariable" and "the sudden annihilating loneliness and fear of God."
A bout the poor in Appalachia and the dead in World War II, Agee told us that character wasn't destiny. Yet he was trapped in himself. S. J. Perelman once visited the odd household he maintained for a while in Hollywood with Dorothy Parker, "in a fog of crapulous laundry, stale cigarette smoke and dirty dishes, sans furniture or cleanliness; one suspects they wet their beds." At the bottom of the bottle, instead of God, was pickled brain -- and delusions of grandeur and perfection. Grandiosity in Agee's case was a way to raise the stakes so high that failure at least looked valiant, and perfectionism was a place to hide when he couldn't deliver on a promise. Who knows what marriage was, maybe musical electric chairs. Add it all up, tossing in macho rubbish about tomcatting and romantic beeswax about the agony of artistic creation, and what you don't get is a grown-up. You get Rufus in Knoxville.
As the African Ellellou explained to us once and forever in John Updike's novel "The Coup": "I perceived that a man, in America, is a failed boy."

Q: How can you restart a failed spring batch job and let it pick up where it left off? According to the Spring Batch documentation restarting of a job is supported out of the box but I cannot get it to start from where it left of. e.g. If my step processed 10 records it should start at record 11 with processing whenever I restart it. In practice this doesn't happen. It reads from the beginnen en reprocesses everything.
Does anybody have a Java config based configuration of a simple job that reads a delimited file and writes the content to a db table that can be restarted from the point it stopped?

A: It seems you have to configure the following beans to be able to restart your job.
@Bean
public JobOperator jobOperator(final JobLauncher jobLauncher, final JobRepository jobRepository,
        final JobRegistry jobRegistry, final JobExplorer jobExplorer) {
    final SimpleJobOperator jobOperator = new SimpleJobOperator();
    jobOperator.setJobLauncher(jobLauncher);
    jobOperator.setJobRepository(jobRepository);
    jobOperator.setJobRegistry(jobRegistry);
    jobOperator.setJobExplorer(jobExplorer);
    return jobOperator;
}

@Bean
public JobExplorer jobExplorer(final DataSource dataSource) throws Exception {
    final JobExplorerFactoryBean bean = new JobExplorerFactoryBean();
    bean.setDataSource(dataSource);
    bean.setTablePrefix("BATCH_");
    bean.setJdbcOperations(new JdbcTemplate(dataSource));
    bean.afterPropertiesSet();
    return bean.getObject();
}

Then you need to retrieve the batch instance id from the batch tables to be able to restart that specific instance by using the jobOperator.
final Long restartId = jobOperator.restart(id);
final JobExecution restartExecution = jobExplorer.getJobExecution(restartId);

A: Inside your JobManager class , instead of using JobLauncher , use JobOperator.restart() nethod .
The reason why your job is not getting restarted from the last failed step is because with JobLauncher you are again starting one more new job and hence it is starting the job from the step one .
Please make sure that "restartable" property is set to true (By default it is set to true ) .
Here is the sample code .
public boolean resumeWorkflow(long executionId)
        throws WorkflowResumeServiceException {
    JobOperator jobOperator = (JobOperator) ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicationContext().getBean("jobOperator");

    try
    {

        LOGGER.info("SUMMARY AFTER RESTART:" + jobOperator.getSummary(executionId));
        jobOperator.restart(executionId);
    }
}

You need to get the jobExecutionid of the failed job and pass it to the above method .
Please note that a job which is completed with "FINISHED" status can not be restarted .

Restarting a  job

A: You start your job with new JobParameters, so SB doesn't resume Job, but starts new one.
If you want resume Job, you should remove incrementer from Job bean config.


So I picked up my 03 auto Mach 1 feb 2017. It's just a pleasure car I drive every now and then. It has 108k on the miles and the motor is as smooth and quiet as can be. Bone stock it put down 253 hp and 269 tq. I was happy with these numbers to be honest. Since the baseline I did an off-road h and an eBay 208.00 cat back and some screw in rear o2 sensor foolers . That's it, no tune, nothing. Another dyne day came and it pulled 277hp and 289tq on the same dyno. Very happy with the numbers for what I have invested.
Glad you're enjoying your Mach!
That's great! I'm glad you are enjoying your Mach too. I've been thinking about getting some dyno data for mine too.
wow, wouldnt have expected that kind of jump to be honest.
Glad you're enjoying the car!
My GT with a few bolt-ons did 260/299 so if my Mach did those numbers I'd be sick to my stomach. Haha. But I am glad that you're enjoying the car and you got to take it to a dyno. Isn't it a cool experience the first time you go put your ride on a real dyno? It's awesome. That's what cars like this are all about...FUN!
The best I got with a high-flow catted H pipe, LM-1 catback, PHP intake spacer, C&L CAI, and a Diablo tune was 300-305 ish.
Good story and numbers. Maybe someone can explain this to me, why did the 4.6 make more torque than the 5.0?
Are you referring to the old school 5.0 or the coyote? If it's the old 5.0 I'm sure it's the bore vs stroke ratio. If I remember correctly the 302 had a 4.0 bore and 3.0" stroke but the 4.6 is more square. A longer stroke (typically) will get you more torque.
Feel free to step in if I'm incorrect.

Using iranian women
GENEVA (eight March 2021) – Ladies and ladies continue to be treated as second class citizens in Iran, a UN skilled says in a report to the Human Rights Council, citing domestic violence, 1000's of marriages of women aged between 10 and 14 each year and persevering with entrenched discrimination in legislation and observe. Regardless of the requirements for president, girls in Iran are allowed to occupy other political positions, including vice chairman, cabinet minister, ambassador, member of parliament, and provincial director. Authorities in Tehran have released 4 Iranian girls from a detention center after they were arrested for allegedly dressing as men to avoid a ban against ladies attending soccer matches in the Islamic republic, a Human Rights Watch researcher (HRW) says.
Introducing Rudimentary Factors Of iran beauties
Necessary Factors In iran women In The Usa
Iranian rights activists primarily based in Iran and in exile have marked Worldwide Ladies's Day by drawing consideration to among the predominant hardships going through girls within the Islamic republic, together with violence directed at them by males and deepening unemployment in a coronavirus-hit financial beautiful iranian women system. In the regulation: Under Islamic inheritance law, a man is granted his deceased wife's complete estate, whereas a widow receives just one-eighth of her husband's property. A son inherits twice as much as a daughter. Till 2009, widows couldn't inherit land. Parliament then voted to let ladies inherit land.
Women's situation changed significantly throughout Reza Shah's reign (1925-1941). More girls have been admitted to schools and authorities service, the latter significantly in the fields of schooling and well being. The state coverage of unveiling (1936), although resented and opposed by conventional city men and https://womenandtravel.net/iranian-women/ women and controversial among the many relaxation, proved nonetheless the single most vital step toward ending the segregation of women in society. Many educated girls wished to unveil, and after Reza Shah's abdication in 1941 these and different women continued to seem unveiled in public and to work in government and private places of work.
Some stories recommended a lot of Iranian ladies had snuck into the stadium by carrying Syrian flags and pretending to be foreigners. Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Training, personal communication, June 15, 2009. In gentle of such promising indicators of change as girls iranian girls's success in obtaining higher training and convincing the electorates, even within the rural areas, of their potential to handle public affairs, we will assume that the bottom is ready for more changes to return.
The need to provide a cultural guide and elaborate on Iran's wealthy heritage, culinary and otherwise, might indicate the marketability of such representations, but above all, such representations speak to the challenges of dwelling in exile and having to wrestle not only iran women with traumatic previous experiences of revolution and immigration but additionally with the challenges of dwelling in exile, dealing with discriminatory insurance policies and negotiating clashing cultures and break up identities.
First was the period of Constitutional Revolution and constitutionalism (1905-1925), during which the first technology of ladies activists emerged largely by means of their involvement within the pro-constitutional and anti-imperialist actions. The first associations of ladies, usually semisecret, helped with girls's literacy; demanded women's entry to public training, hygiene, and vocational coaching; and criticised girls's seclusion, polygamy, and home violence.
Activists have expressed astonishment over the election of Iran to the United Nations' top forum for ladies's rights, apparently with the backing of at the least four Western democracies. In March, the UN Human Rights Council renewed the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran. The authorities didn't grant him and other UN experts or unbiased human rights observers entry to the country.
Hasan Sakettabar, a lawyer in Iran, acknowledges the discriminatory nature of the legislation but mentioned all through his decade-long career, solely three women have come to him with journey issues. In this nation, women are extra affected by issues comparable to securing their rights to pursue a profession outside the house without their husband's say within the matter," he advised me.
The women of Iran are intimately familiar with repression and segregation, and freedom has many meanings. They are amply examined, dwelling beneath the forces of patriarchy and oppression. Iran's mandatory dress code—veiling—is however one in all many restrictions that regulate and control women's bodies and shape their sense of agency and freedom.
The supply of this power was organization. The function of group was to interconnect innumerable small teams of girls leaders who have been scattered across the nation working on the grassroots level, often in poorer districts of cities and small towns. Collectively these girls constituted a mutually empowering system forcing society and authorities to pay attention at each the middle and the periphery. This chapter demonstrates how the process of mutual empowerment among women was begun and developed in Iran.

28 April 2004 - Creating Business through Trading Technology.
Companies have in recent years radically changed their internal structures, with R&D functions having either been downsized and/or forced to recognise that the acquisition of key technologies cannot follow traditional pathways. However, it remains that in the absence of state of the art technology, companies cannot compete in the market place or realise shareholder value, and stagnation becomes the most optimistic option. The nature of the chemical industry itself has also changed, with many familiar names no longer existing due to mergers and acquisitions and many of those which are currently recognisable, being merely transient. Under such circumstances, those organisations whose research departments can adapt to the new ways of acquiring information and key technologies will be the ones to survive.
In this latest in the highly successful "Creating Business Through" series we will focus on developments in trading technology, such as the use of internet based technology acquisition engines. The meeting will also cover specialised companies and the latest generation of university spin outs. As always, we have assembled a number of experts in the field to help guide you through some of the opportunities available and advise you on where to focus your resources to ensure the technology out there can be made available to your company.
For Further Information: Please contact Michele Sahrle , see "Contact Us".

With a beautiful location in the centre of Playa del Carmen, the language school is just a few minutes' walk from magnificent white sand beaches and the famous 5th Avenue. Surrounded by a tropical garden, you can study Spanish in a fantastic, Caribbean environment. The 14 comfortable classrooms are full of natural light, and lessons take place in mini-groups. Students have access to a computer lab and free Wi-Fi, plus a multimedia room with a TV and DVD-player. The school, known for its friendly, social atmosphere, has a spacious cafeteria and a student lounge to relax in as well as a volleyball court.
Lärarna var superbra. vänliga och hjälpsamma. Skolan läge var bra och att sitta ute är en bra ide, fungerar bra.Playa del carmen är en fin ställe med aktiviteter, utflykter som man kan göra på helgerna. Jag gjorde flertal och är jättenöjd med dessa. Folket är ej påträngande med besöka apotek utan kundskap i spanska är ej lätt, de kan ej Engelska.Jag är nöjd med Playa. Att bo hos en familj kan jag inte rekommendeta i just mitt fall. Ac saknas, jättevarmt hela tiden. 20 min att gå = byta t shirt när man är i skolan. Jag bytte efter 2,5 veckor till en lägenhet mittemot skolan, Ac, fungerade jättebra, enkelt med en säng och kök. fungerade perfekt för mig för jag åt ute hela tiden. Jättenöjd, förutom familjeboendet. Skolan var enkel med trevlig personal. lite sliten men den har sin skönhet. Jag var där för att uppleva landet ej att bo på ett lyxhotell. När jag flyttade närmare skolan blev allt toppen, då bodde jag nära allt. Värdfamilj första 2,5 veckorna 20 min att g,. bytte till skolans lägenhet, tvärs över gatan. Det var lite elever och det var svårt att arrangera utflykter från skolans sida. De försökte varje vecka men det var inte många som ställde upp. Tack för en superbra tid, jag hade det jättebra, jag upplevde fattigdomen, dvs den riktiga människan som bor där eftersom jag umgicks lite med en person som visade mig den riktiga Mexico, hur fattiga de än är så visar de inte det för dig. De är stolta människor, jag hade turen att få hjälpa någon och uppleva personens vardag.
Sharing daily life with a family is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in the Mexican culture and to practise your Spanish daily outside of class. The host families selected by our partner school generally live around 15-30 minutes from the school. You will stay in a single room with half-board. Sharing the life of local people is the best way to put the skills you learn in class into action.
Located a 2-minute walk from the school, these apartments are the perfect option to fully enjoy your language stay! Stay in one of the two single bedrooms with a shared bathroom (twin bedrooms available for students traveling together), relax in the living or dining room with your flatmates or cook your meals in the kitchen. Bed linen is included (but not towels). Each apartment offers free Wi-Fi and a weekly cleaning service of common areas. Shops and restaurants are only 5 minutes away!
In Playa del Carmen, it is also possible to stay in a residence about 5 minutes' walk from the school. You can choose either a single or double room. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped, with a desk for studying, a private bathroom and air conditioning. A Mexican breakfast will be served to you in the cafeteria each morning and you can take advantage of the terrace for BBQ's with other students.
The student residence is located in a nice area in the heart of the city with numerous shops, restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Calle 6 is famous for the "El Fogon" taqueria, just next door. The residence has a big graffiti called "La máscara Maya" on the wall and is thus easy to locate. It's also very close to the Quinta Avenida (5th Avenue), the most popular street of Playa del Carmen with lots of shops, street food markets, restaurants, art galleries and facilities that bring the city to life.
Scuba diving, horse riding, kite surfing, parachuting or playing volleyball, you can fill your afternoons with numerous water sports and outdoor activities. Though Playa del Carmen is especially known for its heavenly beaches, you will be equally charmed by the cultural and archaeological richness of its hinterland. Visit the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, the Mayan ruins of Tulum and Xel-ha or those of Coba in the heart of the jungle. Go shopping or spend an evening in Cancún, Valladolid or Merida. An exciting program awaits you!

Pop Mama: It's Spring Baby!
First, congratulations to one of my favorite celebs, Reese Witherspoon on her third pregnancy! What an exciting time for her and her new husband. Reese is 36 and has two children from her marriage to Ryan Phillipe. I wish her the best.
It is spring again and I feel like babies are everywhere...people are either pregnant or giving birth. I have three friends who recently gave birth to their first children and it is so fun to check out all of the pictures on Facebook.
What is going on in my world? Well, I'm not pregnant, but I am parenting.
7:10am - Tuesday morning on way to daycare and work.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mom--"
"Yes, you are wearing your coat." It's actually a hoodie, but I'm not going to split hairs here.
"Yes, that is your shoe. Very cool."
Silence for about 5 seconds.
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, MOMMY!"
"Yes, that is our baby. Is he sleeping?"
"Okay." Looking back into the jerry-rigged mirror that doesn't quite fit correctly in our SUV, I see that the baby is indeed "seeping," slumped over, with his head hanging precariously over the edge of the carseat. I immediately feel bad that I can't reach him to tilt his head back and then forgive myself by remembering that Cam did the same thing and he turned out just fine -- a little loud and demanding -- but just fine.
This has been life recently. Two boys, one chattering all of the time and asserting his independence ("No bed." "No house." "No Milk.") and the other just smiling and playing with his feet. I love it.
When I consider the "are you guys having any more kids?" question, my heart says "absolutely," my head says "not for loooong awhile," and my husband says "we'll see." The point is that no matter what kind of day or week we are having with the kids, we enjoy every second (sometimes in hindsight). I am so very thankful for my healthy boys and being a parent has taught me to not sweat the small stuff. It is so cliche, but true. The other day I found myself fretting about some stupid work issue and I had to talk myself down by reminding myself that I could die at any moment and what really matters are the relationships I have in life...not the neighborhood I live in, not whether I have the newest iPhone, and not whether there are crumbs on the floor and dishes in the sink (because there will always be).
Great post! Love the updates on the boys.


"It was one of the most important days of my life, it was the most joyful, like, utter joyful. Nothing like that had ever been ever been televised about Rwanda, you see. Our family just happened to be an example. As I reflect back, I'm like, 'Girl, be quiet. It was not about you.'"
More than 10 years ago, Clemantine Wamariya became forever known — in her own words — as "Oprah's special genocide survivor." Wamariya fled the 1994 Rwanda massacre with her sister when she was only 6, leaving her parents and other siblings behind. She spent the next six years in refugee camps and slums across seven African countries. She eventually resettled to the U.S. when she was 12.
"I decided that no one was going to add onto my story until I allowed them to."
Today, Wamariya wants to be known for more than the victimhood that was ascribed to her as a child. Through her memoir, she hopes to open readers' minds to the importance of seeing every human story behind labels and first impressions.
"We won't see the artists that you are if we begin with the story of your poverty. And so I wanted people to meet me in a place of my imagination. Because I don't want to live in the shadow of this story of a girl as a refugee."
In the space of 100 days, one in 10 Rwandans — or around 800,000 people — were killed during the country's ethnic conflict. But these numbers are deliberately absent from Wamariya's book. That's because she wrote it from the point of view of the young girl she was at the time.
"Honoring that girl took a lot. As an adult, I learned that wars are caused by people. You know, as a child, I didn't know. I didn't know, I didn't understand. But I felt it."
Wamariya hated the word "genocide" right away when she heard it for the first time in eighth grade. Her American friends often asked her whether the Rwandan genocide was like the Holocaust, or the Killing Fields in Cambodia, or the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia. But she says those comparisons hurt her because they overlooked the specific and personal aspect of each tragedy.
"When I write the word 'genocide', it could mean so many things. But it could also mean nothing to the person who has experienced the word itself. Your whole family that is being murdered, they're not just a word. The family that has murdered your family, they're not just a word, it's action!"
"So for me, that word is just an invitation, an invitation for us as humans to be able to pause and think about the vocabulary, the words, the terms, the titles in which we use to describe each other's most heartbreak moments."
"Survival, true survival of the body and the soul, requires creativity, freedom of thought, collaboration. You might have time and I have land. You might have an idea and I have strength, You might have a tomato, and I might have a knife. We need each other. We need to say, 'I honor the things that you respect and I value the things that you cherish.'"
"You are not better than me. I'm not better than you. Nobody is better than anybody else. Nobody is who you think they are at first glance. We need to see beyond the projections we cast onto each other. Each one of us is so much grander, more nuanced, more extraordinary than anybody thinks, including ourselves."
