Q: detect if string contains unclosed html tags [php] I was wondering if there is a possiblity to detect if string contains unclosed tags and if so strip that tag away or close him. So for instance I have:

lorem ipsum dolor..
 some other text  em tag unclosed
As you can see there is unclosed tag and will cause an issue for the browser if we render that as HTML. So I would like to close that tag or just strip him if is unclosed (stripping is actually easy, what is hard to do is detection).
Is that possible in PHP?

A: You could utilise DOMDocument for that
$doc = new \DomDocument();
$stringToTest = \mb_convert_encoding($stringToTest, 'HTML-ENTITIES', 'UTF-8');
$doc->loadHTML($stringToTest, LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);
echo $doc->saveHTML();

For your example that produces

lorem ipsum dolor..
 some other text  em tag unclosed

Note: First of all it would be better to just not generate broken HTML at all. And as a backup you should leave it up to the browser fixing it (since browsers are very very good in that).

Landgoed Geijsteren (ook: Geysteren) is een landgoed en natuurgebied van ongeveer 700 ha dat zich bevindt ten westen van het dorp Geijsteren in de Nederlandse provincie Limburg.

Het landgoed is in particulier bezit en is sinds 1806 in handen van de familie De Weichs de Wenne. De woningen op het landgoed zijn te kennen aan hun zwart-witte luiken.

Het gebied bestaat vooral uit naaldbossen. Bijzonder fraai is de bedding van de Oostrumse Beek. Dit beekje heeft nog een meanderende loop.

Ook liggen in het gebied enkele cultuurhistorische monumenten:
 De Sint-Willibrorduskapel uit omstreeks 1500 ligt midden in het landgoed op de grens van de provincies Noord-Brabant en Limburg. Bij de kapel bevindt zich een grenspaal en een eeuwenoude waterput. De grenspaal is in 1551 geplaatst om de grens tussen het Land van Cuijk en het Land van Kessel aan te geven.
 De Rosmolen is een watermolen op de Oostrumse Beek die zijn naam aan een nabijgelegen voormalige rosmolen te danken heeft.

Het landgoed bevindt zich ten oosten van het natuurgebied Boshuizerbergen en ten westen van de kom van Geijsteren. In het noorden vindt men de plaats Smakt, terwijl zich in het zuiden de plaats Oostrum bevindt.

Het gebied is vrij toegankelijk en er lopen diverse wandelroutes, waaronder het Pieterpad, door het gebied.

Aston Villa's manic two days from pep talks to getting dropped off by parents
Many of Aston Villa 's young players had to be dropped by their parents for the FA Cup third-round tie against Liverpool.
The club's Covid-19 outbreak meant Dean Smith and his first-team stars were unable to play on Friday night.
So Villa had to turn to their teenage academy talents to take on the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
Liverpool's star-studded lineup showed Jurgen Klopp was not going to make it an easy night for the Villa kids.
And it has been one hell of a few days for them after discovering they would be playing against the Premier League champions less than 48 hours before the game.
Before kick-off against Liverpool, Villa CEO Christian Purslow told BT Sport: "Our experience of this situation in the past two days has been a frightening scenario because we went from 100% negative on 1 January to 14 cases.
"We had a tricky day yesterday to try to find enough players who'd be able to represent the club tonight. The players were tested and the results came back this morning.
"These players have had no contact with any of the players in the first team. Many of them are so young their mums and dads will be dropping them off at Villa Park tonight."
Academy coach Mark Delaney, who managed the team in Smith's absence, added: "It's been a manic couple of days. The manager rang up on Thursday and said 'it looks like you might have to take the game'.
"There are excited boys in there. They're looking forward to it. This is the biggest opportunity you can have.
"At the start of every season we say you have to be ready for these opportunities. Today it's as a group which doesn't happen often.
"We're missing some of the under-23 players who were training with the first team.
"We can match them with attitude, desire and workrate and that's all I ask.
"We've just done the meeting with the gaffer. He's spoken to the players in the dressing room [on a call]."

Note in my in-box concerning Counterinsurgency and Water Polo.
I thought your blog was very interesting and I enjoyed reading it. I have seen many different sides to the war and many other things in Afghanistan.
The program in Shorabak was what I did in my off duty time (The few hours that I had since I worked many hours every day). It is not something that was planned or a set job, it was just something that I did on my own. It is my own outreach into the local community.
Please call me if you ever want to chat or get more insight into the program.
I stand corrected. These were officers and not NCOs. Also, in the original article I wasn't knocking Water Polo. I have never played and know nothing about it. But I maintain by disappointment in the ANA, and still believe that sports are a poor replacement for good training, discipline and esprit de corps.
In The Strategy of Chasing the Taliban I outlined the arguments against the application of strictly a population-centric approach in Afghanistan. We discussed how the ROE was preventing U.S. troops from engaging the insurgency when it was possible that noncombatants could be involved, and that this tactical approach had caused the need to chase the insurgents when they took cover in civilian areas and then later escaped. We must chase the Taliban and kill every last one of them, we are told by some Afghanis.
The Marines have also had to address this same issue in Helmand. With too few troops, the tactic of fire and melt away must be addressed through different means than saturation of troops. Quite literally, the insurgents can do this forever, and we can't stay that long. The U.S. Marines have heard my counsel (actually, they probably got to it first) and responded with the implementation of a quick reaction force.
CAMP LEATHERNECK, Helmand province, Afghanistan — When Marines kick in doors and begin to put rounds down range, some insurgents flee — a Huey pilot helped create a way to stop them before they slip through the cracks.
Capt. Bret W. Morriss, a pilot with Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 367, "Scarface," 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), used the capabilities of the new UH-1Y Huey to create a concept to aid in the capture of insurgents.
Capt. Kevin Kinkade, the platoon commander for B Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Detachment, worked with Morriss to develop a way to effectively pursue insurgents who flee.
It can be dangerous for troops on the ground to chase fleeing insurgents because the enemy uses mines and improvised explosive devices to protect their routes of escape, explained Morriss.
Morriss and Kinkade created a concept called an aerial reaction force by adapting the concept of a quick reaction force. A QRF is a rapid response force commonly used to reinforce or investigate areas of interest. By combining the time-tested tactics of the QRF and the capabilities of the new Huey, the Marines created ARF — a force with strength in a couple of prime areas.
The new Huey can keep up with the demands of the ARF concept because of the improved lifting power of the helicopter. It can carry 6-8 combat-loaded Marines, plus the helo's crew, into and out of tactical zones at high altitudes and in hot weather. The previous helicopter the Marine Corps used was the UH-1N Huey that did not have the power to carry such a load. Morriss' squadron is the first HMLA to use the new Huey in combat.
The new helicopter provides outstanding economy of force, giving close air support and reconnaissance support for the Marines that it inserts. Historically, Marines used a heavy or medium lift helicopter to bring in the reinforcements, and flew attack helicopters for close air support.
By employing these new Hueys, Marines can use ARF to quickly capture a person of interest or small group of insurgents, or they can be used as an addition to a larger ground operation. The UH-1Y has brought back true utility to the Marine Corps supporting a wide variety of assault support missions.
Morriss, a graduate of Virginia Tech, received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for his part in creating and executing ARF.
Just as Marines have done throughout history, Morriss and Kinkade adapted to the war at hand and developed new Marine Corps tactics that will likely save Marines' lives and ensure the capture or elimination of the enemy.
This is adaptation at its finest. It's what the U.S. Marines do, and it's what is needed in this geophysical space at this moment in time given the circumstances.
As a preface for discussing counterinsurgency and water polo, recall our observations of the Afghan National Army over the past months.
This video is of immeasurable value.
C. J. Chivers updates us with a view to the ANA's tactical capabilities (or even basic soldiering abilities). They don't aim their weapons. They point them. The ANA is not even capable enough to be considered the first line of defense against the insurgency. Across Afghanistan, being in the Afghan National Police is considered to be more dangerous than being in the ANA.
Afghanistan may be landlocked, and pools may be scarce, but soldiers with the Afghan National Army aren't letting these minor obstacles put a damper on their Olympic water polo dreams.
Under the Marine Corps' tutelage, these soldiers are training at the ANA's Camp Shorabak in Helmand province. The ultimate goal is to secure an Afghan team for the 2016 summer games in Rio de Janeiro. For most, if not all, the training has been their first experience in a pool.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Jeremy Piasecki, a reservist with Marine Corps Forces Command, says leading Afghanistan's water polo program is a unique way to further the counterinsurgency mission.
Piasecki, a youth water polo coach in the U.S. since 2004, was tapped by the Afghanistan Olympic committee in 2008 around the time Afghanistan secured its first Olympic champion, Rohullah Nikpai, who won bronze in a taekwondo event in Beijing. With Afghanistan wanting more medal opportunities, water polo was named a national sport, Piasecki said, and he formed the country's national water polo team in August 2008.
The Shorabak team, Helmand province's first, only recently formed. The base, located minutes from the Corps' Camp Leatherneck, was ideal because it actually had a pool.
Unfortunately, the water is untreated and nonpotable — one reason you may not see Marines in the pool.
Though his tour downrange is now done, Piasecki plans to continue coaching. He already operates a California-based nonprofit called "Afghanistan Water Polo" and has a website. He hopes to fund a trip for the Afghan athletes to train in the U.S.
Now to be sure, I am on one side of the counterinsurgency equation with Colonel Gian Gentile (holding that the population isn't necessarily the center of gravity of a counterinsurgency campaign), and folks like Andrew Exum are on the other. But this is a different order of magnitude entirely.
Has our cheese slid off of our cracker? We now have U.S. Marine Corps NCOs extolling the virtues of water polo to the practice of counterinsurgency. Do you think that maybe we have overdone it just a little? Perhaps learning to fire a weapon and standing duty would be a better use of their time.
Or perhaps not, depending upon what these soldiers are like. But why do we have U.S. Marine Corps NCOs busying themselves with this? Where is the State Department or some other part of the U.S. government that can apply the soft side of COIN? Or perhaps the State Department doesn't believe in the mission.
Jim White at the very liberal Firedoglake links and cites me concerning battlespace control and the associated response by General McChrystal's Staff. The tale is so twisted and unrelated to the subject of my two articles that I don't even know where to begin to decipher what he is talking about, so I can't copy any of his prose. He fancies cover-ups, horrible secret things to which we aren't privy, and all manner of malfeasance and misdeed. He cites the very un-American Gareth Porter, and he charges deception at every turn.
It just goes to show that presuppositions mean everything. You see a devil around every corner if you think that there is supposed to be one there. And all of this time I actually thought I was talking about RC South battlespace control, appreciation for and full utilization of the MAGTF (Marine Air Ground Task Force) concept and organization, and matrix of SOF to regional command so as to ensure that there is integration, cooperation and full cognizance of parallel operations in the AO.
UPDATE: Over at Firedoglake, Jim dropped a comment that said something like "Hey look. Someone's mad at me," linking this article. Then he conveniently turned off comments to the post.
No, Jim. Not mad. Humored and amused, but not mad. That's why this article was posted in the humor category.
There is a popular belief that soldiers have a significantly longer life expectancy in a combat zone after they have survived their first few firefights. But little research has been conducted to evaluate what soldiers learn early in their deployments that would make the difference between improved effectiveness and becoming a combat fatality.
Can learned factors or perhaps inherent traits be replicated and conveyed in training so that a soldier's chance of surviving initial firefights is similar to that of a seasoned combat veteran?
Past anecdotal discussions have indicated that military units tend to suffer higher casualty rates in their first engagements with the enemy. Recent research demonstrates that the first 100 days of combat is a more reliable critical period for improving the likelihood of survival than the widely held "first five firefights" theory.
These results hold implications for several aspects of modern training, as well as tactics, techniques and procedures used by today's military.
The findings are the result of a study commissioned by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The study sought to determine the most likely times within a tour of duty that a soldier might become a combat-related fatality. The research also aimed to identify methods for reducing fatalities associated with these vulnerable times during a soldier's deployment.
Statistics are not kept on the number of firefights in which a soldier experiences. In addition, a commonly accepted definition of firefight was difficult to ascertain, further complicating an investigation of the "first five" concept.
Based on analyses of databases covering all publicly available U.S. and U.K. fatalities over the past three years, nearly 40 percent of fatalities occur in the first three months of deployment.
One potential factor is troop transitions, such as old units rotating out and new units learning the ropes as they rotate in. Loss of local intelligence when an old unit leaves can be a crucial factor affecting fatalities during these initial months. When the old unit departs, relationships with locals are frequently lost. Lack of familiarity with the environment and enemy tactics, as well as a general lack of experience, are also important factors.
Analysis revealed another increase in Army fatalities, though not as dramatic, at approximately the six-month mark of a tour. The six-month spike was less pronounced for Marines, Navy and Air Force personnel. In addition, a minor spike in fatalities occurred again for soldiers at the 10-month mark. Likely factors for the increase in fatalities in these later months are fatigue, complacency and stale tactics. Frequent missions and patrols, overly consistent day-to-day procedures, and lack of in-theater training to maintain soldier focus may exacerbate these factors as well.
The graph above comes directly from Capturing Insights from Firefights to Improve Training, a DARPA presentation which I obtained from Scott Scheff with HFDesignworks. There are several interesting and noteworthy observations from the study. The spike at six months for Marines is not less likely as National Defense claims. It is non-existent. The spike occurs only for Army deployments. Unstated is whether seventh month deployments versus 12- or 16-month deployments for the Army have anything to do with these metrics.
Regardless of why this spike occurs for Army and not the Marines, the message is clear from the study. Stale tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) allows the insurgents to train themselves to our routines. There are a number of tools recommended by the team which could contribute to better metrics (whether two-month or six-month). The team recommends better just-in-time training (or what they call immersion training), a longer overlap from deployed to entry units, training to avoid complacency, theater- and situation-specific weapons deployment, and most importantly, revision of tactics, techniques and procedures to avoid stalemates between insurgents and counterinsurgents near or before the six-month period. This is extremely important.
This follows the article entitled Marines, Taliban and Tactics. Techniques and Procedures. Better training and preparation for and during deployments means lives saved.

Q: Android C2DM Registration_ID max size What is the maximum possible size of the registration_id field used for Android C2DM service?

A: The max size for a registration_id is bounded by the max size for a cookie, which is 4K (4096 bytes).
In practice, the tokens are going to be much smaller than that, but you shouldn't rely on this behavior going forward.
(The registration_id is not considered part of the payload, so the footnote Reno mentioned doesn't apply here.)
Source: I'm on the Android team at Google. :)
(I'll be updating the docs soon to make this more clear, since there's been a few people asking recently.)

A: According to This thread results vary (98 and 120 are given), but the poster recommends setting aside 255 in your database, and that's what I'm going with.

A:  As per the footnote at the bottom of this link. it should be 1024 bytes at the most. Also this shouldn't be of concern if you are using Java.
private void handleRegistration(Context context, Intent intent)
{
        String registration = intent.getStringExtra("registration_id");
      .... }

[edit]
Like Trevor says, the max size ought to be the size of a cookie. (4096 Bytes)

Oikyafront to finalise candidates by Wednesday
Dhaka, Nov 25 (UNB) - Jatiya Oikyafront, led by Dr Kamal Hossain, will finalise its candidates for all the 300 constituencies by Wednesday based on a consensus of its alliance partners.
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the remark while talking to reporters at the alliance chief's chamber in the city's Motijheel area on Sunday.
"We interviewed all the nomination seekers for four days and all the other parties of Jatiya Oikyafront and 20-party also took the interview of their candidates. Now, we're in discussions to finalise the list," he said.
The BNP leader further said, "We hope we'll be able to reach a consensus over the nominations before the last date of nomination paper submission (Nov 28)."
He, however, said if they cannot finalise all the candidates by November 28, they will complete it before the last date of withdrawal of candidature.
Fakhrul, also the spokesman of Jatiya Oikyafront, said the victory of their alliance is certain if they can stay in the election till the last day.
He came down hard on the Election Commission (EC) saying it still could not manifest its neutrality through its activities. "Not only we, but also the civil society members and those who are working for a fair election are saying the Election Commission still could not take any step to prove its impartiality."
The BNP leader said they submitted a list of factious cases to the Commission and another list of partisan officials, but no action was taken to this end.
"He (CEC) made a dangerous comment yesterday (Saturday) that police are now under their authority and they're doing everything as per their directives. That means all the fictitious cases are being filed at their behest," he observed.
Fakhrul said their party leaders and activists are being harassed in many ways as the EC could not create a level-playing field yet.
He said their chairperson Khaleda Zia has not been released while their party's many prospective candidates are still in jail.
The BNP leader said the EC could not earn their confidence that the election will be held in a free and fair manner. "We're working for a credible election and will continue our struggle till the last."
Earlier, senior leaders of Oikyafront held a meeting at Kamal Hossain's chamber and talked about finalising nomination of the alliance's candidates.
Apart from Fakhrul, Krishak Sramik Janata League president Kader Siddiqui, Gano Forum general secretary Mostafa Mohsain Montu, executive president Subrata Chowdhury and Jatiya Oikya Prokriya's Sultan Mohammad Mansur were present at the meeting with Dr Kamal Hossain in the chair.

Dhaka, Nov 25 (UNB) – Awami League on Sunday issued letters to the party aspirants who have been selected to contest the upcoming 11th parliamentary elections slated for December 30.

AL nominees' list
Dr Kamal to meet press Sunday
Dhaka, Nov 25 (UNB) - Gano Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain is going to brief journalists on Sunday about the country's overall political situation and election atmosphere.
The press meet will be held at the Jatiya Press Club at 1pm, Gano Forum media wing member Latiful Bari Hamim told UNB.
Gano Forum Training Affairs Secretary Rafiqul Islam Pathik said Dr Kamal will talk about various issue relating to the next general election and the country's latest political situation.
A party leader wishing anonymity said their top leader may talk about the 'inaction' of the Election Commission in ensuring a level-playing field, stopping arrest and harassment of opposition activists and the 'bias' role of the police and civil admiration officials, including EC secretary Helal Uddin.
Besides, he said, Dr Kamal is also likely to place some demands for reshuffling the police and civil administrations and removing partisan officials from election duties for ensuring credible polls.
At the press conference, the Gano Forum leader said, some politicians may join their party.
JaPa hopes to get satisfactory number of seats from Grand Alliance
Dhaka, Nov 24 (UNB) – Jatiya Party secretary general ABM Ruhul Amin Howlader on Saturday hoped that they will get a satisfactory number of seats from the Awami League-led grand alliance to contest the parliamentary elections.
"The discussion on seat sharing will continue, and we hope Jatiya Party will get a satisfactory number of seats of the Grand Alliance," he said.
Howlader came up with the comment while speaking at a views-exchange meeting at Jatiya Party's Banani office.
He said he had a meeting with Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader today in a very cordial atmosphere over sharing seats in the upcoming general election.
Howlader went to Awami League's Bangabandhu Avenue office in the morning had a marathon meeting with Quader there.
He said the list of the Grand Alliance candidates will be revealed within a very short time.
Earlier talking to reporters after meeting with Quader at AL office, the Jatiya Party secretary general said their party wants to remain with Awami League giving less important to the number of seats they may get.
He said they discussed the issue related to seats they want from the grand alliance.
Asked how many seats they have been offered, Howlader said, "We've got many seats, and will get more."
BNP submits list of its 21 arrested leaders to EC
Dhaka, Nov 24 (UNB) - BNP on Saturday submitted a list of 21 leaders to the Election Commission, including a nomination seeker, who have been arrested by law enforcement agencies since November 22 'defying the EC's directives'.
BNP leader Salauddin Khan submitted the list attached with a letter signed by BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir to the office of Chief Election Commissioner KM Nurul Huda at Nirbachan Bhaban.
"So far, 21 BNP leaders, including a nomination seeker, have been arrested since November 22," Fakhrul claimed in the letter.
The BNP leader requested the Election Commission to issue emergency directives to the law enforcement agencies to refrain from arresting BNP leaders and activists in 'false' cases alongside taking measures for the release of those arrested.
Fakhrul alleged that the Election Commission played a silent role.
Besides, BNP submitted a list of two cases filed with Bhairab police station against its leaders and activists on November 19 and 23. The total numbers of named and unnamed accused in the two cases are 150 and 450 ones respectively.
In the letter, Fakhrul said they earlier submitted the lists of cases with arrestees on November 15, 17 and 20.
Over recovering the dead body of its nomination seeker Abu Bakar from Buriganga, he said the EC earlier announced that they were giving directives to the law enforcement agencies to take legal steps in this regard.
"The role of the Election Commission is also questionable in this regard. The EC can't avoid the responsibility in this matter," the BNP Secretary General said.
According to the BNP's list, BNP nomination seeker from Cumilla-4 constituency MA Awal Khan was arrested and kept him in the jail so that he cannot submit the nomination paper.
The other 20 arrestees are Ramna thana Chhatra Dal leader Jewel Rana (missing traceless after being arrested), Rupnagar Thana BNP leader Abul Kashem, Rupnagar thana Jub Dal leaders Fakhrul Islam Shipu, Jahangir Biswas, Shahjahan Shikder and Mintu Mia, Rupnagar Swecchasebok leader Alauddin, Mohammadpur thana BNP leaders Abdur Rahman and Masum, Sutrapur thana BNP leader Abdus Sattar, Kawser Ahmmed, Mujibur Rahman, Sutrapur Sramik Dal leader Delwar Hossain, ward-level leader in Khilkhet thana Abdul Haque Bhuiyan, Bhairab (Kishoreganj) BNP leaders Alamgir member and Abdul Khaleque, and Bhairab Jubo Dal leader Rubel Mia.
The other arrestees are Dr Jamal, Zakaria Faruk and Kawser Mia-- all grassroots leaders of Bhairab.
Later, EC Secretary Helal Uddin told reporters that the list submitted by BNP will be placed in the Commission's meeting to be held on Sunday and the EC will take the decision.

UPDATE: It looks like Danelle has locked up his online portfolio and the video can't be seen there. Head to the article's end to watch a copy of the video.
HTC product designer Danelle Vermeulen offered an interesting glimpse at how things within the smartphone maker's house usually happen. Within two days, the design team created a concept video presenting the HTC Ocean – a handset with two cameras and a standout feature. On his website, Vermeleuen says the concept is "a great example of a typical project within HTC" – in this case, "an answer to a call to pitch to a conceptual idea for CEO buy-in".
The HTC Ocean's frame is touch-sensitive, letting designers add contextual controls that occupy very little screen space and lead towards a clean, streamlined user interface. The feature is called Sense Touch and it gives us an idea of the kind of technology HTC might be toying with for its next high-end smartphones. For example, swiping the right edge calls Google's voice assistant, while swiping the same spot inside the Music app changes the volume. Likewise, the user is able to control the camera while within the photography app.
The smartphone itself has an understated appearance that combines the features of the HTC 10 with those of the yet to be announced (and also HTC-made) Google Pixel smartphone. There is no branding, and the device is devoid of buttons – which might be part of the Sense Touch concept.
For now, though, the HTC Ocean is merely a sleek concept smartphone rather than something that's guaranteed to manifest in the coming months.
I was going to say that this should have given HTC the chance to greatly reduce their always big bezels, but if they can use that bottom bezel for gestures that would be great. Sure they could probably do gestures on a smaller bezel than that, but with a bigger one I'm sure it would help in preventing accidental commands.
Now everyone will copy from HTC.
I have an Ocean! A Hello Ocean. In a box. In the basement, where it has been since 2008.
Yes. This is the future of what touch based phone ui should be! Swipes and gestures are intuitive once you get familiar with it. Do away with persistent buttons on or off screen paradigm I say.
The page prompts me for a password. How to proceed to the video?
Anyone knows the name of the song.

Fortnite fans are making Kratos dance, and it's amazing
By adminPosted December 5, 2020
Even after being rebooted, God of War's tone as a series has leaned toward the stark, serious, and broody — the polar opposite, in other words, of Fortnite's happy-go-lucky vibe. There was never any doubt that Kratos' appearance in the battle royale game would be amusing, but now that fans have had a chance to don the deity-killer's twin axes, it's clear that everyone underestimated just how funny this crossover actually would actually be.
There's nothing that can prepare you for watching Kratos paw at the air as a cheerful electronic tune meows in the background, like in this video uploaded by Twitter user Musubi_Azeyma. It's hilarious enough that God of War franchise creator David Jaffe joked on social media that he was glad Fortnite's version of Kratos is the one from the 2018 reboot, and not the first iteration of the Greek character.
But perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that Sony was willing to make this cameo happen. Beyond building up more hype for the upcoming God of War follow-up on PlayStation 5 that's slated for 2021, Kratos' appearance in Fortnite follows a longer history of the muscled rage machine popping up in silly video game situations. Remember the time Kratos went golfing?
Still, I can't overstate just how delightful it is to watch Kratos perform a variety of Fortnite emotes. In Fortnite, Kratos is less of a stern dad and more of a pop star, as you can see in the videos below. Some players say they bought the Kratos skin specifically to watch him floss and do the Renegade. Others, meanwhile, can't help but crack jokes about how bewildering this crossover is in action.
And now we wait for the inevitable dance battle that will ensue between Kratos and Master Chief, who is reportedly also coming to Epic's titanic shooter. Now that we've got the power of K-pop at our disposal in Fortnite, this collision of worlds is better than the time everyone forced Thanos to do the Orange Justice.

Crusader Kings II was painful to figure out. I tried it free for a weekend on Steam, barely figured it out in enough time to enjoy it. (Even then, I was still struggling with the nuances of diplomacy and war).
Thank you for your comment as always! 🙂 Yeah I must admit it really was difficult to figure out, I ended up watching hours of playthroughs and tutorials on youtube before fully understanding it, the tutorial is notoriously awful! I've never used the steam free weekend feature before for that reason but I suppose it is useful if the game doesn't take so long to understand!


You've staged your home to appeal to buyers. The house has been decluttered, de-personalized, and deep cleaned.
Now, what do you do to keep it that way if you still need to live there?
Keeping your home in show-ready condition can be done by establishing some daily habits. Here are tips for living in a staged home.
Take off your shoes in the entryway to avoid tracking in dirt, water and debris.
Avoid entryway closet clutter by keeping items in flat, unobtrusive storage totes. An attractive entryway storage bench is another option, provided it doesn't crowd the entry space.
Vacuum each day. It will prevent you having to do it last-minute for a showing.
Rather than tossing mail onto the coffee table, sort it right away and immediately dispose of any unneeded items.
Backpacks, school items and toys should be stored rather than left on the floor or table. Storage ottomans, baskets and cabinets provide a surprising amount of storage while enhancing the look of the room.
Keep remotes, chargers and other daily items tucked away in drawers rather than leaving them out. They'll be easier to find, too!
If snacks and meals in the living room were the norm, get into the habit of eating in the kitchen or at the dining table. It might even be a way to re-discover the family dinner!
Any cookware and kitchen appliances you can do without should be packed and stored away, and not in the cabinets. Kitchen cabinet space is a major consideration for many buyers, so you don't want yours cluttered and crammed with gadgets.
Keep countertops clean and clear. It's fine to have one or two (clean, attractive) appliances out, provided there is plenty of space.
Have one set of eating utensils (plate, bowl, cup, flatware) for each family member, and pack the rest away. Hand-wash, dry and put away utensils and cookware after each use. You can also use recyclable paper plates and cups to limit dishwashing, though this is an added expense.
Be vigilant about food freshness. Spoiled food in the refrigerator can lead to unexpected and hard-to-remove odors.
Keep the pantry organized. If you have more canned and boxed goods than you can use in the near future, they can be donated or stored.
Be aware of what you're cooking! If you use aromatic spices, cook with garlic, or use a deep fryer, the scent of your meal may linger in the air. Ventilate while cooking and clean up immediately. You can also use natural methods of odor elimination, like leaving out a bowl of white vinegar or baking soda overnight, or boiling citrus peels on the stove.
Don't leave personal care products in the tub, shower or out on the sink. Instead, give each family member a bathroom tote to hold their daily necessities. Travel size items and containers can come in handy here.
Each family member should also have his or her own set of towels (kids may enjoy getting to pick their own color). Don't use the towels displayed in the bathroom.
Used towels and clothing should be placed in laundry room hampers if possible, rather than bathroom hampers. (Hampers will limit the amount of bathroom floor space.) Launder frequently to avoid odors from damp towels.
Keep all medications out of unlocked medicine cabinets and stored safely away out of sight.
Keep cleaning wipes under the sink for quick and easy clean-up after each use.
Daily shower sprays can help keep the shower clean and fresh after an initial scrubbing.
Use automatic toilet bowl cleaners to help keep toilets fresh without last-minute scrubbing.
Be aware of strong odors from cleaning products. In a small space like a bathroom, it doesn't take much to become overwhelming. Your prospective buyer won't be able to appreciate the sparkling tile if his or her eyes are smarting from bleach fumes. Ventilate thoroughly, and opt for milder scented and natural solutions. Don't use harsher cleaners than you need to.
This goes for room sprays and diffusers, too. A light, fresh scent is good, but avoid heavy scents. Some people have unpleasant reactions, such as headaches or nausea, to strong scents.
You want your bedroom closets to look spacious, so remove and store any out-of-season or less frequently worn clothing. It's also a great reminder to donate clothing you no longer use. Store anything you can in hidden storage, like dresser drawers.
Use underbed storage bins to keep everyday necessities on hand but out of view.
Keep dresser and nightstand tops clear.
Make beds each morning, so you don't have to do it last-minute if a showing is scheduled.
Fido or Fluffy may be your best friend, but most pets aren't very staged-home-friendly. From "aromatic" cat boxes and small animal bedding to pet hair on the furniture, pets make it more difficult to keep your home ready to show. Not to worry, though—there are solutions.
See if a friend or relative would be willing to host your pet. Frequent visits will make the separation easier for all involved. While disruptive for your pet, it may be less stressful than having strange visitors in their "territory" during the showing process.
If this isn't an option, you can temporarily limit your pet to certain rooms, preferably ones without carpeting or upholstered furniture. This will make it much easier to contain pet hair and other messes for faster, easier cleanup. Be extra-vigilant about changing out cat litter and small animal bedding and removing it quickly from the home before odors can develop.
During the staging process, many of your family's books, games, toys and movies will have been packed away. Though this is less of a consideration in the age of digital streaming and ebooks, this may still leave you at a loss for things to do. Kids may have to be more careful playing in the clean house.
Think of this time as an opportunity for new adventures. Get out and explore! Spend time at the library or park. Take a walk or bike ride. Visit a museum. Find out about community activities. Try out a new coffee shop. You'll likely find plenty of things to do that are free or inexpensive.
Living in a staged home isn't always easy, but it can be done. With some changes to your daily habits, you can keep your home ready to show...and ready for the right buyer to walk in the door!


SPST MOMENTARY PUSHBUTTON, N.O. | All Electronics Corp.
S.P.S.T., normally-open, momentary pushbutton switch rated 3A/ 125V. 10mm diameter red button. 14.5mm diameter x 7mm high black bezel. Threaded bushing mounts in 10mm diameter hole. Solder terminals.
These switches are good looking and work well, but there is a problem. If you use use even a little too much heat on the solder lugs, the plastic melts and the switch is destroyed. My suggestion is to use some sort of crimp on connector or other mechanical means to connect wires to these switches.

Carving a Foodie Destination from a Mountaintop Resort
When one thinks of visiting Vancouver Island, the typical trip includes a day or two in the bohemian provincial capital, Victoria, followed by a trek north into perpetually verdant British Columbian wilderness or hugging the craggy, wind-swept western coast with most roads ending in Tofino. Along the way are picturesque mountain ranges, hiking trails and some truly incredible people of all walks of life.
In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it turnoff along the TransCanada Highway lies a magical luxury resort that I've had the privilege of helping this past year. Situated atop the Malahat Range just thirty minutes outside of Victoria, the 40-room Villa Eyrie Resort gazes directly down on the enthralling Saanich Inlet with spectacularly unobstructed views of the entire lower half of the island and the Olympic Mountains beyond.
Yet views alone are hardly a guarantee of success in either hotel or restaurant operations. They only bring guests once but don't compel them to return. This was the challenge facing Alexander Fischer-Jean, the property's Hotel General Manager, as well as the resort's F&B team. Working as a consultant, Villa Eyrie embarked on the audacious goal of reinventing itself as a food-oriented destination first with rooms secondary and all within five months.
Charged with the development of the strategies and tactical plans for this venture was the property's Director of F&B, Ryan Bissell. An executive chef himself, Chef Bissell was already highly regarded in the greater Vancouver area for his work on multiple restaurant openings, at one time launching seven different outlets simultaneously. As Chef Bissell explained, "The issues surrounding a restaurant in a resort are uniquely different than those of a standalone. Here, you need to recognize first and foremost the needs of the property's guests before taking into consideration the ability to attract local, restaurant-only customers."
The scenario Chef Bissell faced was further complicated by Villa Eyrie's just-a-touch-too-remote location. Although half an hour's drive for food may be par for the course in other destinations, for Victorians the resort is often an insurmountable distance.
The Malahat represents the first major elevation climb as one ventures out from the lowlands surrounding Victoria and driving it from November through March requires mandatory snow tires for which many citizens don't even bother, as the provincial capital's oceanic proximity prevents the city from experiencing a proper Canadian winter. Combined with its seemingly treacherous curves, the Malahat has become notorious for numerous accidents, prompting Victorians to steer clear.
This was all fixed by the completion of a major roadway expansion in 2018, but memories still linger. Thus, core to any F&B strategy was a tactical program designed to create a significant reason to drive and dine.
The development of this approach hinged on available talent whereby remote locations such as Vancouver Island accrue an additional hiring challenge. Hence, it was essential to embrace the creativity of the existing key team leaders including the Michelin-trained Executive Chef Mario Gross, Pastry Chef Matthias Conradi and Executive Sous Chef Andreas Wechselberger. Leveraging their collectively Germanic heritage as well as the mountaintop location, it was only natural to land on the culinary unique sales proposition of Alps Meets West Coast as a means of enriching the resolutely stunning views from every table.
With the senior team in place, attention was directed towards the physical space itself. Summit Restaurant, as it was originally called, was divided into an informal lounge and a main dining room with both primarily differentiated by tabletop settings and divergent menus. To management's chagrin, the best views were offered by the lounge area - that is, to patrons with a sizeably lower average cover.
An interior designer was therefore required to deliver a more vibrant dining experience, encompassing capital expenses like new tables, carpeting, lighting and wall coverings. For this, McGreachy Design Studio was engaged, helping to recreate the space with an ostensibly modern European atmosphere and also increase the seating capacity from 78 to 94. We called this new soon-to-be-hot-spot Alpina Restaurant. Gone were the antediluvian white tablecloths and stuffy country club feel; in were chic furnishings that brought just as much attention onto the décor as the views from each window.
Next came a thorough examination of the wine list. While the existing list had won local awards, it wasn't telling a cohesive regional story. Reflecting upon the alpine cuisine theme, the 2,000-bottle cellar was reshaped over a three-month conversion period, as led by Sommelier Sonja Todd. The chosen direction was to provide the most extensive selection from British Columbia's best wineries, with representation from every growing region including the burgeoning Cowichan Valley mere minutes north from Villa Eyrie.
Moreover, all of the wines at Alpina Restaurant would not be available at any traditional liquor retailer in the province, thereby offering a drinking experience unlike any other eatery. With over 200 different labels on the menu, a La Ver de Vin wine recorking machine was also added to ensure that over 50 of these vintages could be served by the glass for guests to partake in highly bespoke flights at any hour of the day. Lastly, a couple dozen Old World wines were selected from regions in and around the Alps as contrast and to further augment the restaurant's theme.
Beyond the wine list, other beverages then came under close scrutiny. The coffee contract was transferred to a local roastery called Drumroaster which created custom blends for Villa Eyrie, while the Metropolitan Tea Company, based out of Toronto, was chosen to provide a diverse assortment from its luxury METZ product line. Next, Hoyne Brewery, also on Vancouver Island, was given several brew taps and local Phillips sodas were stocked in the resort's guestroom fridges. Other local producers including Sheringham Distillery, Ampersand Distilling and Sea Cidery were enlisted to provide even further regional specificity. Lastly, a non-alcoholic cocktail program was initiated using Seedlip Non-Alcoholic Spirits.
Turning our attention back to the food, Chef Bissell started by identifying local suppliers who could provide consistent volume and quality as well as seasonal highlights like spot prawns in the early summer months. Working with Chef Gross, an array of candidate dishes was developed, tasted and costed. One of the particular challenges faced was establishing price points for appetizers and mains on the dinner menu, with the concern centered upon finding the appropriate balance between portion size and selling price while also maintaining a target of 35-38% food cost. In more than a few instances, modifications were necessary and menu items altered to achieve this desired outcome.
In addition to a full a la carte menu, Alpina Restaurant now features both a five-course chef's tasting menu as well as a three-course prix fixe, both with the option of accompanying wine pairings. Cuisine standouts include wild BC morel risotto, honey-crusted duck breast and open-faced seafood lasagna. Complementing this are world-class baked goods and confectionaries - all made in-house - which comprise rhubarb strudel with pistachio gelato (when in season), savoury goat's milk cheesecake and a chocolate platter for two.
As staffing is tight, crosstraining of the team was an essential component to realizing success through prompt service delivery and the ability of any staff member to passionately discuss the food or make wine suggestions. This was the responsibility of Morgan Watson, the Restaurant Manager.
The immediate goal through all this was to achieve a $60 per cover for food with an extra $30 per cover for beverage. Not there yet, the restaurant is nonetheless well on its way with food sales already 30% ahead of this time last year.
At present, weekday dinner covers often reflect room occupancy at Villa Eyrie with a $35 lunch special developed to grow within this gap. Contrarily, Friday and Saturday nights are starting to attract substantially more locals, and this is expected to rise commensurate with both targeted advertising and word-of-mouth.
Furthermore, the resort has always been well-known for its Saturday and Sunday brunch and here is where the culinary team sought to be more conservative in approach as the outlet was already averaging about three turns per day. The solution was thus to convert to a buffet service during these crunch periods - a move which has generated even more customer praise.
Alpina has come a long way in a very short time from concept to opening. This included the physical changes, new suppliers, altered strategies, changes to the wine program, menu testing and launch promotions. Since the launch in the second quarter of this year, almost every review of those posted on Yelp, TripAdvisor and OpenTable has been five stars.
Though there are many challenges yet to come including the late-summer launch of a second dining outlet called Senna Bar & Lounge, it is clear that Chef Bissell has a good hand on the tiller. As he states it, "The true test of any restaurant launch is not in the first week, month or quarter, but in the ability to remain consistent to your core values. I am grateful to every member of my kitchen and waitstaff who have embraced our vision of being the best on Vancouver Island and amongst the best in the whole country."

Q: NSPopupButton with Live Fonts (Styled Text) I wonder if it's possible to show live fonts in a popupbutton control (NSPopupButton)?  currently, I load a popupbutton with a list of fonts available in the following manner.
NSArray *familyNames = [[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] availableFontFamilies];
NSMutableArray *fontarray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:nil];
[fontarray addObject:@"- Select one - "];
for (NSString *family in familyNames) {
    [fontarray addObject:family];
}
[fontmenu1p addItemsWithTitles:fontarray];

Maybe, something like the following, using NSMutableAttributedString?
for (NSString *family in familyNames) {
    NSDictionary *attr1 = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[NSFont fontWithName:family size:[NSFont systemFontSize]],NSFontAttributeName,[NSColor blackColor],NSForegroundColorAttributeName,nil];
    NSMutableAttributedString *aString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:family];
    [aString setAttributes:attr1 range:NSMakeRange(0,family.length-1)];
    [fontarray addObject:aString];
}
[fontmenu1p addItemsWithTitles:fontarray];

I get an out of bounds error.  I don't know if my approach is right.  I don't even know if the popupbutton control supports styled text.
Thank you for your help.

A: Even I did not tested it, I think, that our approach will not work. NSPopUpButton has a convenient API for its menu. Convenient, but short. (Typically pop-up items are not attributed, no separate views and so on.)
I would try to build an instance of NSMenuItem for each item. There is a setter -setAttributedTitle:, which lets you set attributed strings. Then you have to aggregate this to an instance of NSMenu and set the menu to the pop-up button.
BTW: [aString setAttributes:attr1 range:NSMakeRange(0,family.length-1)];
Why -1? The length is the length, not the index of the last char. And you want to set a range, which takes the length, not the index of the last character, too.


1 Being a single unit, or entire being or thing, and no more; not multifold; single; individual.
11 A single unit; as, one is the base of all numbers.
12 Any person, indefinitely; a person or body; as, what one would have well done, one should do one's self.

On Friday the 1st of July at exactly 12:50 pm, we welcomed our newborn baby girl into this world.
Little Avalee-Rose instantly filled our hearts with love, gratitude, and warmth. We all fell head over heels in love with this tiny newborn child, thankful for what life has blessed us with!
I will briefly share the story of the birth of my newborn baby as well as share some quick tips of what to expect with a newborn in the hospital!
Pregnancy is one crazy ride, isn't it?
You go through so many emotions, so many different feelings, aches, pains, excitement, nerves, anxiety and roller coaster rides … and not necessarily always the fun type either!
You are happy, then you are sad, excited then you are anxious and then just bloody exhausted!
With my third baby on the way (Andrzej's first baby experience – being a joint family and all), I kinda knew what I was in for. You think that it would make things easier, but truly I think it makes it harder as you know exactly what to expect and what is still lying ahead!

Substance use and abuse can lead to addiction, which is already hard enough to handle on its own—but what if you are also diagnosed with a mental illness? Coping with both at once can complicate the challenges you may face along the road to rehabilitation and recovery.
A substance abuse problem that is happening at the same time as a mental health issue (such as depression, bipolar disorder, or anxiety) creates a situation called a co-occurring disorder, also known as dual diagnosis.


As we grow and mature in the Lord, we become more Christlike. We "reflect" His attitudes and we show His working in our lives. As the lesser light of the moon is just a reflection of the greater light of the sun, so we only reflect the image of the Son. Therefore, to become more Christlike is simply to conform our lives, our attitudes, and our minds to Him.
—Romans:12:2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

The Beer Club Asia
We're a Thai / European owned company. We're not going to prolong this introduction with long stories about our history and how we got here. We're just a couple of beer lovers who in our former careers had opportunities to travel the world and sample some of the world's finest beers. We decided to turn the knowledge we picked up along the way, and the passion for beer into a company that specializes in the Importation and Retail of the best products we can source.
Thai Beer Market
We believe the residents of Thailand, and the wider Asian market should have access to quality imported products at an affordable price point, and we seek out, through our network of international partners, the best beer brands to give you just that.
BEER HISTORY
Beer is the oldest recorded recipe in the world. The ancient Egyptians first documented the brewing process on papyrus scrolls around the 5,000 B.C. mark.
Even before this time, and as far back as 10,000 B.C., the primitive cultures of Mesopotamia are believed to have been the first known 'brewers' but never officially recorded anything, but did leave lying around some malted barley scraps, and bowls with a definite beer like residue. It's thought that this residue was probably the remnants of a grain porridge which fermented naturally with yeast, effectively giving an intoxicating effect to the consumer at the time, after which he naturally would have repeated the process. Beer lovers everywhere are glad they did.
Of course, such an invention eventually made its way across the globe, from its origins across the Mediterranean to
Europe where it became and is to this day, an integral part of life. The abundance of barley in northern Europe provided the necessary ingredients needed for brewers. Beer became valued for its nutritional values and was a safe alternative to drinking water, which in many instances at the time, water sources had become contaminated. This, during the Middle Ages is a time when we generally consider to be the dawn of the modern beer.
Monks started to add the many different herbs and spices to beer concoctions to balance the sweet malt flavours, and eventually hops made it into the mix. Hops, it was found, added a very pleasing and thirst-quenching bitterness, and as an added bonus, the hops also with its preservative properties extended the life of the beer.
All of today's many varieties and types of beers can trace their origins back through this Beer family ancestry.
What is Beer?
With a history stretching back millennia, the answer could get a little over complicated. But let's simplify it. For beer aficionados, beer lovers and beer newbies everywhere, the basic formula for beer has remained the same for centuries: beer is the fermented, alcoholic product of the careful combination of water, malt, hops, and yeast. That's it folks – no more – no less.
There's usually someone trying to mess with it, but inevitable it always returns to basics, and that's because you don't mess with the simplicity of a good recipe. Looking a little more closely, we learn that beer, is the product of starch-based yeast fermentation. Grains, most often barley, are allowed to partially germinate and are then combined with water, creating a kind of cereal mush into which the brewers then add the brewer's yeast.
Different varieties of grains, hops or even the yeast strains used, ensure, just like wine, that beer can then sometimes assume a somewhat local feel, depending on the geographical location and surrounding environment, (local yeast strains, water content, local fruit or indeed the various hop flavors). But wherever water, malt, yeast, and hops come together in the magic that is the fermentation process, the result—which you enjoy out of a bottle or can or is BEER.
Beer colours vary greatly and can look anything from ultra-light golden to a deep, dark, rich brown, because the base of the beer is a grain mush, final colors usually tend to be classed somewhere in the brownish spectrum.
Alcohol in a beer is often recorded on the label as ABV – Alcohol by Volume.
