Detective Pikachu: Movie review
May 8, 2019 May 9, 2019 Ana SofiaLeave a comment
When It comes to anime / videogame live-action films I'm always hesitant in seeing it because of the bad history and backlash they had within the community. Soo, when I heard that there was going to be a Pokémon movie I was lost for words. Leaving me asking a lot of questions such as, How are they gonna bring this world into reality? What about the character designs? What's the story even going to be about? Nevertheless, I went to the theaters with an open mind and a touch of curiosity.
Detective Pikachu is directed by Rob Letterman (2015 Goosebumps ) and it starts Justice Smith has Tim Goodman, a former pokemon enthusiast. After his dad was in an accident, Tim has to go to Ryme City, a metropolis were humans and pokémon coexist. He meets his dad's former pokemon, Pikachu voiced by Ryan Reynolds. But, it wasn't just a normal accident and it's up to them to investigate.
The setting of Ryme City felt something straight of an anime. Using a variety of bright colors and neon-lit to set the environment. The city wouldn't be as it is without the pokémon; putting one in every corner. Seeing pokémon's of the first generation until the recent one, these little CGI monsters were fun to watch come to life. A movie that was shot in a 35mm can't help but look stunning.
The movie was consistently entertaining and funny because of Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu itself. Making jokes throughout the whole movie . Also giving us interesting chemistry between him and Tim. But at times, when the dialogue became simple or flat, Pikachu came and saved the day.
The movie is a simple yet solid story. Yes, Sometimes it gave us cliché tropes but it was balanced between funny and dramatic moments. Detective Pikachu is a film that fans from the franchise would love and an introduction to the world of pokemon for the younger audience. It's a goofy, lighthearted comedy that everyone can enjoy. I mean, Who wouldn't love to see their favorite pokémon come to life?
I give this movie 3/5 Pokeballs
Alita Battle Angel (Movie Review)
February 19, 2019 Ana SofiaLeave a comment
When it comes to transforming anime or manga into live action films, it can lean in two ways: being an actually good movie or go horribly wrong. Every couple of years or so, we've been getting live actions adaptations that have gone wrong such as Netflix's Death Note and thus being completely disappointed. Alita Battle Angel is an adaptation of the cyberpunk manga created by Yukito Kishiro. Ever since the trailer came out I had this small hope that this movie can be one of these adaptations that could actually be good and please the anime community.
Alita Battle Angel is a film directed by Robert Rodriguez and produced by James Cameron. In 2563, planet Earth has survived a war known as "The Fall." There is a city floating above the earth in the sky, called Zalem, but beneath it, there is a city called Iron City. The story is about Alita (Rosa Zalasar) a cyborg that has been saved by the doctor Ido (Christopher Waltz) but she doesn't recall who she is. Alita starts to uncover clues to her past but also finding out the secrets of Zalem and a mysterious scientist called Nova.
From the start of the movie, it looks like they put a lot of time and effort into creating this cyberpunk world. Giving us an aesthetically pleasing experience accompanied by good use of CGI. James Cameron had the rights for this film for a long time now and it certainly looks how much passion and love he had for this story by how the film was made. Paying homage to the main style of the manga with all the details that have been passed into the movie.
Rosa Zalasar has the main spotlight in the movie by giving us a good performance throughout the movie. Christopher Waltz also stands out with his role as Ido. But, they hired good actors such as Mahershala Ali by giving them small roles that were just there to move the plot of the story. Left me wishing they could have used him more in the film.
The movie certainly had some cheesy and cliche moments. The romance between Alita and the love interest Huge felt forced. I just wasn't invested in their relationship and when they had their tragic moments I just didn't feel moved by it. Sure, it does make Alita more human but their love story didn't work out for me.
Alita Battle Angel is a passion project that's been transcribed into film. Even doe every adaptation suffer from minor changes, this movie sticks with the main story. Giving us a visual Syfy experience that anime fans would certainly enjoy.
I give this movie 3 / 5 cyborgs.

Skull-face Bookseller Honda-san: An anime for book lovers
December 1, 2018 Ana SofiaLeave a comment
Have you ever wondered what it's like to work in a bookstore? Well, Skull-Face bookseller Honda-San (Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san) shows you what it's like to work in such an environment at the pace of 11 minutes. The concept is simple; It's about a socially awkward Skull named Honda – san that works in a bookstore. He's surrounded by his coworkers; a girl with a cat mask, jack-o-lantern head, armor mask, and the list goes on. Strange isn't it? But by doing so, it gives this character quirky identities that somewhat work in this anime. making an exaggerated representation of real people.
Each episode is a gag that so happens when they are surrounded by normal everyday scenarios around the workplace. Things like restocking books on the shelf, dealing with customers and their strange requests, service training and language barriers such as Brazilian tourist coming into a Japanese bookstore.
The humor, other than being normal scenarios, are the funny references that they give throughout the episodes. Giving us a lot of anime and manga references. Even when the anime isn't licensed to mention it; they only bleep out or distortion a letter so that the audience can still understand what they are talking about.
Skull-Face bookseller Honda-San is a little slice of life/comedy anime that shows you the life of retail workers. But it also presents you the business side of working on this industry. Such as dealing with the Japanese publishing companies, promotions, and the hardship of working on the distribution chain. It's an anime that will entertain you with their quirky humor and will certainly put a smile in your face.
PS. Honda-San gives us a word of advice…

Romanticism in Princess Mononoke
September 6, 2018 May 8, 2019 Ana SofiaLeave a comment
Romanticism is the birth of a new set of ideas; a mindset and a way of feeling it wasn't a political movement, rather an artistic one. This movement began in Western Europe towards the end of the 18th century. Romanticism was born as a consequence of the rejection against the enlightenment: where the scientific and the Industrial Revolution began. The transition of handmade production passed to be made from machines; this includes the development of new machinery and factories such have the textile industry. Another consequence is the urbanization and the advances in the scientific field. Romanticism is the reaction of a transition to the modern world; where we leave the old to and embrace the new.
This movement is mostly found in different types of artistry. From writers, philosophers, artist and even musicians hopped on the movement. All of them have one thing in common; the nostalgic feeling of wanting everything how it used to be: where back then simplicity was valued.
The primary use of this type of artistry is to help people to escape the harsh reality from back then. Romanticist, by rejecting enlightenment; they refused to adhere the concept of it, reason cannot explain everything. They value emotions such as happiness, sadness, terrors, rather than logic itself. Practitioners believe that your knowledge comes from the experiences of your everyday life, Where the art of contemplation is used for critical thinking. "The subject of contemplation is gradually produced" (William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads). Romanticist also had a deep respect for nature. They think that being one with nature can be more giving rather than studying and picking up a book. "Let nature be your teacher" (William Wordsworth, The Tables Turned). Lastly, Romanticist cherished individuality and the imagination of a person.
As Romanticism ends in the 19th century. There's no doubt that this period in time has inspired many writers and artist. Even until now, you could see the influence of romanticism in this day and age. One of them that constantly uses this posture in his work and sparked my interest is Hayao Miyazaki.
Japanese director and company owner of Studios Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki has shown examples of interpretation of the Romantic Movement throughout his filmography. From his first film, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Castle in the sky to The Wind Rises. All of them share a common theme; nature. But, out of all his film, Princess Mononoke is the prime example of romanticism in today's work.
The Film Princess Mononoke is about prince Ashitaka after he saved his village from an angry god. Before the god died; he puts a curse on his arm. Now, Ashitaka, instructed by his elder, must go and travel to the westward to find a cure. He finds himself in Iron town, where the leader of the town, Lady Eboshi and the villagers are in a constant fight with forest spirits, gods and the daughter of the goddess Moro, San (Princess Mononoke).
Throughout the film, there are many depictions and symbolisms that show the concept and values of romanticism. For starters, the plot itself is about humans going to war with the spirits or the forest, when the ambitious Lady Eboshi and her loyal villagers use their guns against the gods of the forest. Also when the villagers take their goods or cut down their trees; the gods and spirits of the forest fight against them. Here, seeing the relationship between humans and nature. Where humans want to dissect the environment for their own selfish needs. "We murder to dissect" (William Wordsworth, The Tables turned)
In the film, Miyazaki's hand drew scenery is very much appreciated throughout the whole movie; beautiful scenery of nature itself. He uses symbolism and colors to show the difference between a healthy forest and one touched and dissected by humans. Dark colors to show a sick forest. An example is the scene is when the villagers are crossing a path to get to their village and what you see around the characters is deforestation. When the film wants to show a healthy forest, the colors are vibrant and in a classic Miyazaki way, he ads tiny forest spirits (akudamas) to symbolize an untouched, healthy forest.
Another instance of romanticism in this movie is the over control of emotions. As I said, romanticist valued emotions rather than logic itself. Ashitaka, being cursed by a boar god that was consumed by the emotion of hatred. In addition, Ashitaka's cursed hand has control over him because he is driven by hate. Making him, try to distract himself and feel other emotions that aren't hate to slow down the curse from spreading in his whole body. In the movie, the goddess daughter, San is driven by the feeling of revenge and Okkoto (the blind boar god) was driven by pride. Showing how emotions controlled the characters actions.
One of the main characters, San can be considered as a representation of a person that follows the values of romanticism. San lives in the forest with the gods and knows how important nature is. She's against Lady Eboshi's actions which is using nature's resources and exploiting them for her own good. This character presents nature fighting back against humans that deed out of nature. Meanwhile, Ashitaka is a character that's being introduced to all does values and it's new to it. Where throughout the movie he learns how to coexist with nature and at the same time learns a valuable lesson from nature itself.
Romanticism is a movement that has a deep respect for nature. They believe that the only way to learn is to live and accept nature. Princess Mononoke, in a very imaginative way, is a prime example of how humans and nature need to coexist.This film depicts the environment as a victim of the corruption of the industrialization and the ambitions of humans to control nature. Where in a classic Miyazaki way; turns nature way into an embodiment of living things such's has spirts or goods. He makes nature a sole identity that acts and reacts like one. San, the goddess daughter, is character that symbolizes the essence of a persona that follows the romanticist spirit. With the help of Ashitaka, they founded a way where humans and nature can come together and submit to nature's way. Just like romanticist believed, that the only way to truly learn is to give yourself to nature.

Herlik Story
Col Querin "quin" herlik story
Colonel (Retired) Querin "Quin" Herlik, U.S. Army, Former Prisoner of War, Vietnam and Cambodia, 1969
Major Quin Herlik thought he had a relatively safe job when he was sent to Vietnam, but he ended up in a harrowing fight for survival – and survive he did. Now a retired Army Colonel, Herlik flew reconnaissance planes during the war. He ended up being shot down and captured in 1969. He was first held by the North Vietnamese. Herlik said he was one of the lucky ones because he was held for just one month in Cambodia – others who were not as fortunate were held for years. He and his crew were released after intervention by President Richard Nixon. He went on to serve 30 years in the Army and now lives in Augusta, where he is commander of the local chapter of American Ex-Prisoners of War and is the Past Georgia State Commander. "None of us POWs really feel distinguished," he said. "We really didn't do anything other servicemen wouldn't do in the same circumstances. Herlik and his three crewmen were awarded Silver Star medals and two Purple Heart medals for their heroism and wounds suffered in the action."
In Vietnam he flew the RU-1 Otter with a mission of intercepting enemy radio transmissions. His crew would then relay that information to troops on the ground to try to launch attacks. But on Feb. 12, 1969, his plane was hit with anti-aircraft fire, forcing him to land in a rice paddy at the Cambodia border. Enemy troops immediately began to converge on the American troops, who fought them off with two pistols and two M16 rifles long enough to destroy classified material. They eventually surrendered.
Herlik said he was kept in holes in the ground that didn't allow much room for movement. Later, the POWS went on a long march and were attacked by South Vietnamese troops along the way. At one point, when he refused to give up any information, one of his captors held a loaded pistol to his head. Herlik said he then began giving them a fabricated story. He ended up in a prison in Cambodia before he was released. "The fact that I went through that experience, I count my blessings every day," he said.
Major Quin Herlik – Commander – 146th Aviation Company, Saigon, Vietnam

Colonel Herlik served as Chief of Staff on the Joint Task Force in Alaska and as Operations Chief on the President's 747 Airborne Command Post. He also commanded an Artillery Battery and Group in Germany. He was commanding an Aviation Company in Vietnam in 1969 when he was shot down and captured in Cambodia.
He flew over 4,000 hours in 19 types of Army Aircraft and Helicopters including 912 hours under combat conditions while flying 478 missions over South Vietnam. Colonel Herlik is a graduate of several service schools including the Armed Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia.
His awards and decorations include the Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Staff with Oak Leaf Cluster, Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, Joint Service Commendation Medal, 25 Air Medals (1 with V Device), Army Commendation Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster and several other service and campaign medals. He is also the holder of the Master Army Aviation Wings and the Joint Chief of Staff Identification Badge.
Colonel Herlik is married and resides in Augusta, Georgia. His three children include twin daughters who are nurses in California, and a son in Colorado, an Air Force pilot who flew A-10's and C-5's and is now a retired Lieutenant Colonel.
Upon his retirement from the Army, Colonel Herlik worked in Real Estate Sales and Management in Augusta, Georgia. He is active in Veterans Affairs and is a past commander of the American Ex-Prisoners of War in Georgia. He is currently the commander of the Greater Augusta Chapter of American Ex-POW's."

Q: Send rest request with attached pfx certificate I'm trying to consume an API that uses a certificate as an authentication method.
I tried two methods but i get the same issue (The request was aborted: Unable to create a secure SSL/TLS channel.)
Method 1:
var handler = new HttpClientHandler();
handler.ClientCertificateOptions = ClientCertificateOption.Manual;
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
string certificatePath = @"certificates/certificate.pfx";
string pass = "password";

handler.ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate2(certificatePath, pass));

var client = new HttpClient(handler);
var dataToAuth = new StringContent(body, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var request = client.PostAsync("https://api.com/oauth/v2/token", dataToAuth).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

var response = request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
return response;

Method 2:
var client = new RestClient("https://api.com/oauth/v2/token");
client.Timeout = -1;
ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;
var certFile = Path.Combine(@"certificates/", "certificate.pfx");
X509Certificate2 certificate = new X509Certificate2(certFile, "password");
client.ClientCertificates = new X509CertificateCollection() { certificate };
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
string jsonPreInscription = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(body);
request.AddParameter("application/json", jsonPreInscription, ParameterType.RequestBody);
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
    return response;
}

return response;

I really can't see the problem and i tried also the two methods using the .cer file and it's key.
I would be greatful for any ideas.

A: so the problem was the method used to hash the certificate itself.
aperantly the version of the certificate needs the X509Certificate method instead of the X509Certificate2 i was using(for my case).
here is the updated working code :
            var handler = new HttpClientHandler();
            handler.ClientCertificateOptions = ClientCertificateOption.Manual;
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = true;

            ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3;
            string certificatePath = @"certificates/certificate.pfx";
            string pass = "password";

            handler.ClientCertificates.Add(new X509Certificate(certificatePath, pass));

            var client = new HttpClient(handler);
            var dataToAuth = new StringContent(body, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
            var request = client.PostAsync("https://api.com/oauth/v2/token", dataToAuth).GetAwaiter().GetResult();

            var response = request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

I hope no one suffers as i did to figure this out :)

Q: cakephp drop-down lists using displayed value Apologies for troubling everyone with the billionth or so question about CakePHP and drop-down lists.
I have a database of employees, with fields such as name, department etc.
What I want to achieve is that the standard view of all employees can be filtered by selecting available departments and submitting a form. The departments available to select in the filter are automatically populated from the existing departments already in the database.
I'm fairly new to CakePHP, but what I'm trying to achieve is a drop-down list that is a 1 x N extract from the database. In HTML this would look like:
<option value="Human Resources">Human Resources</option>
<option value="Finance">Finance</option>

The idea is then to take this input and use it for a SQL query along the lines of:
SELECT * from Employees WHERE Department = 'finance'

etc.
At the moment this is the code I'm using in the controller to generate a list of all existing departments:
$this->set('department', $this->Employee->find('list', array('fields' => 'Employee.Department')));

and this I'm using this in the view to then make that into a dropdown box:
echo $this->Form->input('faculty', array('label' => 'Faculty', 'empty' => array('Any'), 'options' => $department));

The problem I am encountering is that it generates HTML along the lines of
<option value="1">Human Resources</option>
<option value="2">Finance</option>

I have read and re-read the documentation on forms and the find functions, but I can't seem to find the answer.
The only way forward I've found from that would be to manually specify the options using array('value' => 'label'), which given how long the full form is (and the 50+ departments we're talking about), is not something I fancy doing!
Am I:

*

*Missing the right option in the Form Helper or the find function?

*Just plain doing it wrong?

I know the logic for the filtering function works fine because the checkboxes are ok, and I've played around with options in the URL and if I enter it manually everything is fine.

A: So, what I do to get an array that looks like what you want is:
$options = array_combine($department, $department);
echo $this->Form->input('faculty', array('label' => 'Faculty', 'empty' => array('Any'),  'options' => $options));

That should render something like:
<option value="Human Resources">Human Resources</option>
<option value="Finance">Finance</option>

Teen Screams 'My Car Won't Stop!' in 911 Call When Gas Pedal Breaks
(INSIDE EDITION) - A terrified teen frantically pleaded a 911 dispatcher for help while behind the wheel of her runaway car.
"My car just won't stop! My car will not stop!" Olivia Crooks, 16, is heard saying in the 911 call. "I can't stop my car. I think my gas pedal just broke!"
The teen told INSIDE EDITION that she was going 60 miles-an-hour down the street. She said she was driving home from school in Green Bay, Wisconsin, when the nightmare began.
In the 911 call, she told the operator: "When I have my foot completely on the brake, I cannot stop going 25 to 30. And I have my foot on the brake."
The 911 operator, Julie Rowback, knew just what to do. "She helped me through one of the most stressful moments of my life," said Crooks.
In the call, Rowback told her: "Shift into neutral if you can."
Crooks said: "I got it into neutral, but my engine keeps revving and it won't stop."
Her situation was about to get a lot worse. "My car is starting to smoke!" said Crooks.
Rowback said: "Keep it in neutral and try to apply firm constant pressure to your brake pedal gradually. Don't pump your brake. Apply the firm constant pressure to your brake pedal."
Finally Crooks said: "My car stopped."
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the company that manufacturers the PT Cruiser Crooks was driving, told IE in a statement that they have "no reports of any similar occurrence. The Company is relieved no one was injured and commends the parties involved for their actions."
This isn't the first time a driver has been trapped in a car that just won't stop.
An incident in 2012 was captured on dashcam video. An SUV reached 115 miles-an-hour as it hurtled down a Missouri highway.
Its driver said the gas pedal apparently got stuck. The driver got out alive, but was shaken.
The car company said they could find nothing mechanically wrong with the SUV.
AAA's Robert Sinclair told IE: "The primary thing you can do is simply step on the brake. Generally the brake is going to be more powerful than the engine. Pull over to the side of the road and get somewhere safe."
He added that simply "turning off the car is a bad idea."
As for Crook, IE surprised her with a reunion with the dispatcher who helped save her life.

What to do when debt collector refuses to validate a debt?
Question: I recently sent a letter for debt validation. A debtor had sent me a letter on 2-24-2011 saying they had recently bought a debt I owed on. I sent out my debt validation letter and received notice by US mail that it was received on 3-25-2011.
I never received a validation letter back but on 4-21-2011 I received a letter offering a much lower debt settlement than the first letter. What should I do now?
Answer: The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act does not state a hard rule on the specific time in which debt collectors must respond to debt validation. However, 30 days is a reasonable time limit for response because you should not have to wait around forever.
1. Send a 2nd request for validation, making sure you put on the letter this is your 2nd request and advise the debt collector since they are unable to validate the debt, immediately remove the debt from all of your credit reports.
2. Write a complaint letter to the Better Business Bureau stating the debt collector refused to comply with the FDCPA and will not validate the debt, yet they continue to try to collect the debt. Let the BBB know you want the debt removed from your credit reports immediately. Make sure you send a copy to your state's attorney general. The BBB will open an investigation and some consumers have had great success in getting items deleted at this point because the debt collector has to produce something in response to the BBB complaint and usually they are unable to produce validation documents.
3. Report the company to the Federal Trade Commission and your state's attorney general for noncompliance of the Validation of Debts section of the FDCPA.
4. Send a copy of the letter requesting debt validation to the credit bureaus and let them know the debt collector cannot validate the debt, therefore they must remove the listing from your credit reports immediately. The credit bureaus will open an investigation and the status of the debt will be determined within 30 days or less. It may get removed from your credit reports. But if the listing is verified, request the method of verification which puts the credit bureaus on the line for reporting inaccurate and unverifiable information.
5. If you know the debt is yours, you may want to consider making a lump sum payment of the settlement offer in exchange for a full deletion from your credit reports. Be sure to put everything in writing and add a clause which states the debt collector accept the settled upon amount as full and final payment and agree not to sell the unpaid portion to another debt collector or report it to the IRS as income.
6. Exercise your right to sue, either in small claims court or civil court for the debt collector's willful noncompliance of the FDCPA.

One team, many incarnations: Ancona's journey from Serie A to the amateurs
It's April 10, 2004, the 29th match day of the Serie A season. At the Stadio Del Conero, Ancona are about to host Bologna. As the kick-off time approaches the loyal fans make their way to the stadium; that evening's attendance of just over 10,000 is towards the lower end of the spectrum for the season. Given the year that Ancona are having, though, that is hardly surprising.
It only takes 12 minutes for an old familiar feeling to take hold in the hearts of Ancona fans as Bologna take the lead. A penalty from Hidetoshi Nakata doing the damage. This day however was to be unlike the 28 that had come before, because, rather than relenting, the Dorici fight back and by the final blast of Massimiliano Saccani's whistle they have clamoured to a 3-2 victory.
It was their first win of the season, 29 gut-wrenching matches in. It would matter for little in the end as the club ultimately sank back into the depths of Serie B, but that hideous zero in the win column had finally been replaced.
It is 3:30pm on the 23 September, 2017, the opening day of the season in the Marche Prima Categoria Girone B, Italy's seventh and third-to-last tier of football. Less than two kilometres to the east a light sea breeze is coming in from the Adriatic Sea as fans make their way in large numbers to the stadium. However, they are not here to see local side Falconara 1973, but rather a club who up until a few weeks previously did not exist at all: Unione Sportiva Anconitana. All through the match that would follow the fans sang and chanted to their hearts content, willing this new team on to a victorious start. Then it came 18 minutes into the second half, a free kick from deep right was floated in towards the back post where it was duly met by the free head of Tommaso Colombaretti.
Not the most glamourous of beginnings, but it was three points accomplished nonetheless. The newest and shiniest version of football in Ancona was up and running, the Biancorossi were back from the dead.
Like many other areas of Italy, the introduction of football in Ancona was very heavily influenced by the English, particularly by sailors arriving into the city's port on merchant ships. It was from watching and copying these sailors that the idea for a club grew and in March 1905, in a warehouse by the docks, Ancona was born.
The club would adopt their red and white kit not long after thanks to a local by the name of Pietro Recchi. One day while working in Liverpool, England, Recchi managed to find enough free time to be able to attend a football match. Enthralled by what he saw, Recchi promptly bought a set of red jerseys and accompanying white shorts, which he duly brought back home to his newly founded team. However, to be able to use the new jerseys an opponent needed to be found. Thus, Recchi took it upon himself to board incoming vessels and propose matches against the British sailors, many of whom duly obliged.
While the club was said to be founded in 1905, the first records of an official match don't date until 1911, when Anconitana took on an English team known as Britagna. The match itself would end in a draw.
From then up until 1992 the club would spend its time bouncing between Serie C and B, never really making any inroads on the upper echelons of the game. A fourth-place finish in the 1939/40 Serie B season being the high point. History would be made with an inaugural promotion to Serie A for the 1992/93 season. However, it would prove to be as brief a stay as possible with the club finishing some 11 points off the pace and second bottom.
The following years would see a decline in club fortunes, falling as they did back into the third tier. But it was not before the club was revitalised, and by 2003 they were back in the top flight for only the second time in their history. From here, however, like a lad who's had too much to drink on a night out, things were about to get messy.
The Serie A season of 2003/04 would prove one of monumentally bad proportions for Ancona. Owning the worst defence (70 goals conceded) and the worst attack (21 goals scored), the Biancorossi would finish rock bottom with only two wins and 13 points. What's more, the club used a staggering 46 players over the course of the year.
One of them was Mario Jardel, whose brief stay on the Adriatic coast produced one of the more embarrassing moments of the season. Signed in January, the Brazilian striker was introduced to the fans during half time of the Ancona vs. Perugia match. Standing on the pitch, Jardel soon went over to greet his new adoring public. However rather than walk to greet the home contingent Jardel turned and started towards the visiting Perugia supporters, who like the home fans were also decked out in red and white. He was quickly stopped by team manager Gianluca Petrachi, but the damage had been done – forever more in the eyes of Ancona fans Jardel was the man who walked to applaud the wrong supporters.
Edoardo Longarini: The fallen King of Ancona
He was soon gone and, not long after, so was the club. Beset by off-field problems, relegation back into the second tier proved too much for the finances to cope with. Within weeks of the Serie A season ending, the club folded. Shortly after that again on August 7, 2004, the man who had failed to keep the club afloat, President Ermanno Pieroni, was arrested by the Guardia di Finanza. Charged with fraud, he had allegedly illegally obtained up to €10m in contributions to cover the ever-growing black hole in the club's accounts.
All this was put to one side however when a new Ancona was founded and placed in Serie C2, the lowest rung of professional football at the time. Backed by the Schiavoni family, who were local to the area, the new club took on the name Associazione Calcio Ancona. After finishing 11th in their first year the club grew quickly and, by the 2008/09 season, had once more returned to Serie B.
Two seasons of doing the bare minimum to survive would duly follow before the old familiar face of the footballing Grim Reaper appeared in town once more. Racked with debt and defaulting on payments, the club was expelled from the division and once more disappeared like a beach at high tide.
Things looked very bleak for the future of football in Ancona. Attempts to rebuild the club in Serie C2 and Serie D never got off the ground and it look as if football in the city would have to take a year sabbatical. However, a solution was eventually found to help Ancona live once more. On August 10, 2010 a local club going by the name San Lazzaro Piano duly changed their name to SSD. Unione Sportiva Ancona 1905 and moved into the city itself. Four days before this up to 700 people had attended a meeting at the old Stadio Dorico to ratify the transfer of the club and the creation of the new Ancona. An Ancona of the fans as it was planned to be.
The latest incarnation of Ancona would immediately win promotion from the amateur Eccellenza division into Serie D. However, the expected promotion the following season failed to materialise, nor did it come the year after. Fears were beginning to grow that the club was beginning to become bogged down in a league unbefitting of the club's stature. They need not have overly worried as the following year they finished nine points clear at the top, successfully returning to the professional ranks.
Two high-end finishes in the next two campaigns suggested hope for the future. But, yet again, it would prove just another false dawn. Off-field problems became apparent once more for the 2016/17 season, which in turn caused a ripple effect to events on the pitch. By December the club was facing penalties from the league because of non-payment of wages to staff and players for the months of September and October. As the months rolled on the seriousness of the situation became truly clear as debts of over €1m were being declared. A statement on March 31 declared that Ancona in its current state would be unable to register for the championship the following season.
Even if the club could be saved, which was virtually impossible it didn't matter anyway as on the pitch the team went into freefall and finished bottom. That summer (2017) the inevitable happened and Ancona for the third time in 13 years went out of business.
Things were now just a mess, attempts to restart proved unfruitful as any proposed new entity missed the deadlines to register the club in either Serie D or the Eccellenza divisions. It well and truly looked like football in Ancona was dead and buried.
But calcio just has a way of surviving and, by the middle of August, one final throw of the dice was about to be made. Stefano Marconi, the President of a newly formed club called US Anconitana Asd, put forward the idea of starting from the lowest level of Italian football: the Terza Categoria. His proposal was given credence when the Ultras of the Curva Nord threw their support in behind the project. Marconi duly registered the new company in the league and football in Ancona was saved.
Before a ball was even kicked, for once some good news arrived. On August 31 the board of the regional footballing committee of Marche admitted Anconitana into the Prima Categoria instead. It was a mighty victory for the club. Not only had they gotten the fans onside, but they would now start from a higher level.
As the football calendar ticks over into the closing stages of the 2017/18 season, Anconitana sit well clear at the top of the Prima Categoria Marche Girone B, on the road back to where they once were. Thirteen years on from the sights and sounds of Serie A, Ancona find themselves in a much different environment to that night against Bologna on April 10, 2004. But, given what they've been through in the intervening years, it's a miracle that they find themselves anywhere at all.

Hi Rodger - Thanks for reading and commenting. In the previous blog I spouted off (much like a geyser) on those languid speakers who drag out their words as if they're exhausted - über ennui best describes. I shall endeavor to assail the up talkers next time.
If you don't mind my asking... are you a Brit?
Your site is brilliant BUT this entry would've been absolutely tops if you write more... erm... about stuff!!! You're leaving us wanting more, Mary!!! You can't make people SUFFER for it then!!!
Hi Alice - Thanks for reading and commenting. I am not a Brit, I just 'identify as Brit'.
Mary, good to see you back.
Thanks, Beddy! Appreciate your kinds words.
Missed your insightful comments and wit. Now I can tell my book club to look in on The Blogerage so they can share the pleasure. So happy you're back.
Two years? TWO YEARS! Two years and all we get is a "finished that book. What'd ya got to eat?" Sorry but it doesn't work that way. Your followers have been wandering aimlessly for two years while you're out gallivanting with your characters. And we're s'pose to take you back?
Dear Will - may I call you Will? I'm sorry about the 2 years. Truly I am. But buck up, matey. I've got two more blogs in the can ready for posting. But as the Wicked Witch of the West (or was it the East?) said to Dorothy, "These things must be done delicately."
I hope you'll take me back - no need for a full-on embrace if you're not feeling it. A simple raise of the chin (in a hey-how's-it-going kind of way, not the haughty raised chin) would do. How 'bout I treat for a pizza? A New York pizza? C'mon. Whaddya say?
Thanks! I know what you mean. Sometimes we can't just seduce the muse to return; we've got to grab it by the neck and make it dance. Good luck with getting back to writing. There's nothing like it.


Auction: Have you ever wondered what exactly goes on at auctions?
This informative report provides the most basic and simple to understand.
If you don't have accurate details regarding auctions, then you might make a bad choice when bidding in one.
The most basic explanation of an auction is the process of buying and selling items by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder.
Auctions are also used for determining the value of an item.
Auctions can be setup with/without reserve or minimum, or as absolute.
Reserve auctions generally have a minimum bid or reserve price.
If the bidding does not reach the minimum, there is no sale.
Although the seller may still owe the auctioneer their fee.
In absolute or no reserve auctions, the sale is guaranteed, with only the price left to be determined.
In the context of auctions, a bid is an offered price.
Almost anything can be sold at an auction.
Antiques - The antique business, where besides being an opportunity for trade, also serve as social occasions and entertainment in the sale of collectibles such as stamps, coins, classic cars and fine art.
Luxury Real Estate - Luxury real estate sale includes all types of real property such as residential and commercial real estate, farms, vacant lots and land.
* Spectrum, where companies purchase licenses to use portions of the electromagnetic spectrum for communications (ie. for cell phone networks).
* Timber, where companies purchase licenses to log on government land.
* Electricity, where large-scale generators and consumers of electricity bid on generating contracts.
* Environmental, where companies bid for licenses to avoid being required to decrease their environmental impact.
* Debt auctions, in which governments sell debt instruments, such as bonds, to investors. This type of auction is usually sealed and the uniform price paid by the investors is typically the best non-winning bid.
Lets not forget about police auctions, insurance auctions and used car auctions which are very popular.
Internet auctions are also hot.
The world's largest auction site is eBay.
eBay is the source of millions of dollars worth of profits made from today's most popular auction.
There's a lot to understand about auctions.
We were able to provide you with some basic facts above, but there is still plenty more to learn about auctions.

Louis Lewin (9 November 1850 - 1 December 1929) was a German pharmacologist. In 1887 he received his first sample of the Peyote cactus from Dallas, Texas-based physician John Raleigh Briggs (1851-1907), and later published the first methodical analysis of it, causing a variant to be named Anhalonium lewinii in his honor.

Lewin was born in Tuchel, West Prussia. He received his education at the gymnasium and the University of Berlin (M.D. 1876). The two years following his graduation he spent at Munich, in the laboratories of von Voit and Pettenkofer. Returning to Berlin in 1878, he became an assistant at the pharmacological institute of the university, and in 1881 he was admitted to the medical faculty as Privatdozent. In 1897 he was finally appointed professor.

Louis Lewin's book "Die Nebenwirkungen der Arzneimittel" (1881) deals with the borderline between the pharmacological and the toxicological action of drugs with the untoward or side-effects of all kinds of medicaments. It was the first book of its kind. Another of his important books was "Phantastica" (1924), which began an era of ethnobotany that continues to the present day.

Lewin mentioned in his book "Gifte und Vergiftungen" (1929) the causal connection between dental amalgam fillings and illness. One of his famous patients were the well-known chemistry professor Alfred Stock (1876-1946), who suffered from mercury poisoning due to occupational exposure. Lewin informed him also about mercury exposure from dental amalgams. In 1926 in an article in Zeitschrift für Angewandte Chemie (Journal of Applied Chemistry), Stock claimed that released mercury from amalgam fillings caused poisoning and demanded the consumption stopped. This triggered a sharp and intense debate in Germany.

Lewin died in Berlin, where a street and the nearby underground train station were named in honour of Louis Lewin.

Drug classification

One of Lewin's most enduring tasks was to create a system of classification of psychoactive drugs and plants based on their pharmacologic action. His original categories were:
 Inebriantia (Inebriants such as alcohol or ether)
 Excitantia (Stimulants such as Khat or Amphetamine)
 Euphorica (Euphoriants and Narcotics such as Heroin)
 Hypnotica (Tranquilizers such as Kava)
 Phantastica (Hallucinogens or Entheogens such as Peyote or Ayahuasca)

Works
Lewin was a prolific writer. Among his many essays may be mentioned:

"Über Morphium-Intoxication" -- On Morphium intoxication (in "Deutsche Zeitschrift für Praktische Medizin", 1874)
"Experimentelle Untersuchungen über die Wirkungen des Aconitin auf das Herz" -- Experimental analysis on the effects of Aconitine on the heart (in "Centralblatt für die Medizinische Wissenschaft", 1875)
"Über die Verwertung des Alkohols in fieberhaften Krankheiten" -- On the application of alcohol with feverish maladies (in "Deutsches Archiv für Klinische Medizin", 1876)
"Über maximale Dosen der Arzneimittel" -- On maximum doses of medicaments (in "Transactions of the International Medical Congress", 1887)
"Über allgemeine Hautvergiftung durch Petroleum" -- On the broad eczema caused by petroleum (in Rudolf Virchow's "Archiv,", 1888)
"Über Anhalonium Lewinii und andere Cacteen" -- On Anhalonium lewinii and other cacti (in "Archiv für Experimentelle Pathologie und Pharmakologie", 1894)
"Die Behandlung der Lepra" -- The treatment of leprosy (in "Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift", 1898)
"Die Untersuchungen von Blutflecken" -- Analysis of hemangioma  (in "Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift", 1899)
"Die Vergiftungen in Betrieben" -- Intoxications at business (in "Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift", 1890)

Lewin is also the author of the following books:
"Die Nebenwirkungen der Arzneimittellehre" -- Adverse reactions of pharmacology (Berlin, 1881)
"Die Arzneimittel und ihre Dosierung : zum Gebrauche für Vorlesungen und die ärztliche Praxis" . Grosser, Berlin 1884 Digital edition by the University and State Library Düsseldorf

Delaware receives largest number of vaccine doses yet
Jan 13th, 2021 · by Associated Press · Comments: 0
DOVER — Delaware received its largest shipment of COVID-19 vaccine to date this week.
The Delaware Division of Public Health reported an additional 16,100 doses received on Tuesday. This brings the total amount of vaccine received so far to 75,050, as of Tuesday at 11:59 p.m.
All of the newly arrived doses were of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. Delaware has received 49,700 total doses of the Moderna vaccine and 25,350 of the Pfizer vaccine.
The state has administered 30,992 doses of the vaccine with 1,508 shots given out on Tuesday. The DPH, which has said it is suffering some reporting delays, also updated its total for Monday from 32 doses administered to 2,177.
All vaccine data is as of Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. based on information in the state's immunization information system DelVAX
The rising vaccine numbers come one day after state officials revealed their "sprint to vaccinate Phase 1A" plan at Tuesday's COVID-19 press briefing. Those in Phase 1A are: health care personnel with direct contact with ill patients or infectious material, emergency medical services agencies, long-term care staff and long-term care residents, according to the DPH's plan.
Delaware's COVID-19 hospitalizations remained elevated in the DPH's daily report on Wednesday with a record 474 hospitalized with the virus as of Tuesday at 6 p.m. Both Kent County (112 hospitalized) and Sussex County (116) are at all-time highs for COVID-19 hospitalizations.
Of those currently hospitalized with COVID-19, 55 are considered critical, according to the DPH.
The DPH reported three more COVID-19-related deaths to increase the state's total to 994. All three individuals had underlying health conditions and ranged in age from 58 years old to 84 years old, according to the DPH.
One was a Kent County resident and two were from New Castle County. None of the three were long-term care center residents, keeping the total number of long-term care deaths at 528.
The DPH reported 733 new positive cases of the virus in Wednesday's report. Delaware has recorded 67,173 total positive cases with 476,180 persons testing negative.

Q: Under "all actions", why are edits called "revisions"? In order to edit a post, I click on a link called edit. To finish editing I click a button entitled Save Edits. Afterwards, the post says edited 1 min ago.
So why does the "all actions" section of my profile call these revisions and not edits?

A: Because revision is a very common word and is a synonym of the word edition. When you view the edits on a post, it also says that the edits are revisions.
I mean, edition is a good word but revision is just more general, in terms of definition and how common the word is.

A: The action you perform is "edit".
The result of the action can be either

*

*Accepted

*Accepted and more edit (improve)

*Rejected

*Rejected and edited otherwise (improve)

IMHO, for the first and second case, "revised" is a more generic term, without a direct conflict of the "action". For example, an improved edit is still a revision, however, not a valid edit by you anymore.
The post got revised, but maybe not by the "edit" done by you. You were the one to spot and suggest the "edit" so the credit (also, + rep) is awarded to you in your profile. The post, however, will have the reference to the improver.

Q: amqp and camel error: route has no input I'm having some problems with my rout with Camel. This is my configuration file, very simple:
<bean id="activemq" class="org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent">
    <property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://10.211.55.20:5672"/>
</bean>

<camel:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">

    <jmxAgent id="agent" createConnector="false" disabled="true"/>

    <camel:route>
        <route>
            <from uri="activemq:hello?destination.consumer.exclusive=true&destination.consumer.prefetchSize=50"/>
            <to uri="stream:out"/>
        </route>
    </camel:route>
</camel:camelContext>

In this case there I'm using RabbitMQ and hello is the queue name.
Running it, I get this error message:
Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:  Route has no inputs: Route[[] -> [Route[[From[activemq:hello?destination.consumer.exclusive=true&destination.consumer.prefetchSize=50]] -> [To[stream:out]]]]]

Any idea? Where can I get a sample or a tutorial for Camel + RabbitMQ ?
--- UPDATED ---
Following the suggestion on below comment, I fixed the configuration and a little step ahead has been done. Now it's seem to be able to connect to queue but, if I try to write I get "camelContext must be specified" exception
<bean id="messageConverter" class="amqp.spring.converter.XStreamConverter"/>

<rabbit:connection-factory id="connectionFactory" host="10.211.55.20" port="5672" />
<rabbit:template id="amqpTemplate" connection-factory="connectionFactory" message-converter="messageConverter" exchange="amq.fanout" />
<rabbit:admin connection-factory="connectionFactory"/>
<rabbit:queue name="hello"  />

<camel:camelContext xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
    <camel:route>
        <camel:from uri="file:src/data?noop=true" />
        <camel:log message="Log!"/>
        <camel:to uri="spring-amqp:amq.fanout:hello"/>
    </camel:route>
</camel:camelContext>

thanks,
Andrea

A: There are two error. First, the XML seems to be missing namespaces on the route:
<camel:route>
   <route>
        <from uri="activemq:hello?destination.consumer.exclusive=true&destination.consumer.prefetchSize=50"/>
        <to uri="stream:out"/>
    </route>

Should be:
<camel:route>
   <camel:route>
        <camel:from uri="activemq:hello?destination.consumer.exclusive=true&destination.consumer.prefetchSize=50"/>
        <camel:to uri="stream:out"/>
    </camel:route>

Then, RabbitMQ is not really compatible with ActiveMQ at the moment. Version 5.8 of ActiveMQ seems to support the AMQP protocol which RabbitMQ uses, but if it will be supported in the Camel component or if it will be compatible with RabbitMQ is another question. I don't know.
There is an AMQP component in Camel as well. It's using the Apache QPID client and I have not had any luck running it with RabbitMQ. It might work to some extent if you dig deep down in using the some speific versions etc. (http://www.rabbitmq.com/interoperability.html).

A: I had the same issue. It turned out that I had stacked the routes.
So, instead of having
<camel:route>
   <route>
        <from uri="activemq:hello?destination.consumer.exclusive=true&destination.consumer.prefetchSize=50"/>
        <to uri="stream:out"/>
    </route>

Just skip the enclosing <route>.


Communication is a two-way street – if you want your child to listen to you, you need to listen to them first.
A determined child usually has strong positions and can be argumentative – if they feel that their voice isn't being heard, their tone can become defiant and disrespectful.
Most of the time when your child insists on doing something that you asked them not to, or the opposite – listening and talking about what is bothering them can relieve the tension and help you persuade them to act the way you want them to.
So how do you teach a stubborn five-year-old to listen to you?
Let them lead the way, give them space to express themselves in a calm and practical way, and don't try to go "head to head" with them.
When children are forced to do something against their will, they tend, by their very nature, to rebel and do everything in their power to disobey. To overcome this, you need to communicate with your children and not force things on them.
For example, if your child insists on watching TV even after bedtime, don't try to force them to stop watching. Instead, sit down with them and show them that you're interested in what they're watching. The more interest, concern, and open communication you show, the more willing they will be to come to you. In the end, when children communicate well with their parents they will most likely be interested in cooperating.
Although they always seem small and relatively new in the world, it is worth knowing that children develop their own attitudes and opinions very quickly, and as we're sure you can already tell, they don't really like being told what to do. Therefore, when you want your stubborn child to do something, it is important that you give them choices and not just explicit instructions.
If, for example, they refuse to go to bed, instead of commanding them and trying to leave them with no choice, offer them something that will give them a choice in the matter, such as: "What story do you want me to read to you before you go to sleep?" – It is likely that in just a few moments you'll see them tucked away in bed waiting to hear that story they picked.
However, you should know that giving a child too many options is also not good. If, for example, you ask them to choose one outfit out of their whole closet, this is a choice that may leave them confused and make it difficult for them to decide. You can avoid this problem if you limit their choice to just 2-3 options.
While arguing with a stubborn child can be very irritating and exasperating, scolding, shouting, and raising your voice to overcome their disobedience may make the situation even worse. Once you raise your tone, your child may see it as an invitation to a verbal war, and it can all just escalate into a useless shouting match. Since you are the adult in the picture, it is your responsibility to navigate the conversation to practical places and to find solutions, instead of losing your temper. To do this, before or after the conversation, do whatever you can to stay calm; Do breathing exercises, exercise or listen to soothing music at home, so your child can listen and calm down with you.
Look for cooperation, not following instructions.
Set rules and boundaries for all your children, and don't be negligent about enforcing them just because it's convenient for you.
Identify with your child and never reject their feelings or ideas, nor underestimate them.
Let your child do what they can themselves, and fight the urge to do everything for them; Also, make sure to tell them that you trust them.
Lead by example – this is the mantra you should repeat to yourself and act on.
While negotiation is a concept that sounds like something you would conduct only in business or politics, it is also sometimes necessary when dealing with stubborn children. Children tend to behave negatively when they don't get what they want, so when you want your child to listen to you, you need to understand what is stopping them from doing so.
Start by asking them questions such as: "What's bothering you?", "Is something bothering you?", "Do you want something?" – all this tells them that you respect their feelings and desires and want to take them into consideration.
From here you can move forward to talk and negotiate with them. Of course, that doesn't mean you have to give in to all their demands, but you should be considerate and practical.

The Challenges of Designing for Sustainability
5th Aug
Having been unaware that the BetterBook was a knock-off, I resolved to try to make things right by reaching out to Dan for his story. He was good enough to answer our questions–and sounded remarkably laid back for someone whose work had been knocked off (I myself would be furious)!
Below are Dan's answers.
Core77: When did you first come up with the idea for the Panobook?
Dan Provost: We had been thinking about making a notebook for at least a year prior to launching Panobook in 2017, but we were kind of banging our heads against the wall. We had plenty of ideas about how to make a "nice" notebook, in terms of materials and design details, but it didn't feel like quite enough to justify bringing the product into existence. Then one day we had a design insight: what special characteristics would a notebook that is meant specifically for your desk have? We came up with the panoramic format and we were off to the races; everything fell into place after that.
What motivated you to design it?
Nearly all of the products we design are made to scratch our own itches. We, ourselves, want them to exist, and we like making tools that enable creativity or productivity. A Panobook has sat on my desk since we launched it in 2017, and it's been a great tool for me in my everyday work life. I'm glad we made it!
How was customer response to the product?
It kind of blew us away to be honest. We had not made any stationary products at that point and didn't know what the reaction would be. It ended up being our second most-funded Kickstarter project up to that point.
How did you learn that the Panobook was being knocked off?
We almost always find out about these from our customers, who see them out in the wild and say "hey wait a second!"
What is it like seeing your work copied and on the market?
Sometimes it is a bit of a gut punch. But other times it can feel weirdly kind of good. Like hey, that must have been a pretty good idea!
Has Studio Neat ever been knocked off before? If so, what were the circumstances and resolution, if any?
Yep, many times, to varying degrees. Sometimes it is a literal copy, down to the packaging. Sometimes it is something that is heavily "inspired" by something we have made. In the early days we would attempt to contact the guilty party, but we more or less ignore them these days.
In this age of trolls, a pro-BetterBook troll would say, "Well, they added a new feature with the black border for easier scanning. So I don't think it's a knock-off." What would you say to that?
Well, we actually do firmly believe that "everything is a remix." It is impossible to design in a vacuum; every new product or idea is undoubtedly influenced and inspired by things that have existed before. That's certainly true for Panobook. Where it gets uncomfortable is moving from "inspired" territory to "copied." But we are not in a position to litigate that, nor do we have much interest in that.
Do you have any legal recourse?
Not really. We realized early on that we are much too small of a company to be getting wrapped up in patents and infringement cases. Not only would that be a waste of time, we don't have the financial resources to actually legally go after people. Patents in general seem designed for huge companies with legal teams and not the little folks. We do do some things like trademarking the brand names of our products, which is relatively affordable and does provide some protection if someone is being flat out fraudulent, which happens on Amazon sometimes.
What's a designer to do, when designs can so easily be copied these days?
It's just part of the gig. Our approach has been to just accept it, and instead focus our attention on building our brand and making great products.
Do you have any other thoughts on the subject?
We've come to terms with the fact that there will always be knock-offs. So, we focus instead on branding, storytelling, and maintaining a relationship with our customers. We are true believers in Keven Kelly's 1000 True Fans theory. As long as we have a modest fan base that continues to support us, we can keep making cool stuff.
Speaking of which, anything you'd like to plug?
I'd be remiss not to mention, we've been making lots of cool stuff since we last spoke! The pens especially (Mark One, below, and coming soon Mark Two) are very much up the industrial design nerd's alley.

Did you know it's likely you'll spend up to two decades or more in retirement? It's a long time, so will you be able to afford all the things you've thought of doing in retirement, before your savings run out?
By starting now and making small changes to how you approach your super savings, you can get closer to the retirement you'd like – and hopefully make your savings last longer.
Note: Some of the strategies explained below are subject to your total super balance cap (combined value of your accumulation and pension accounts). For more information visit the ATO website or contact your financial adviser. In the meantime, here are five strategies to help you build a bigger super balance.
If you've moved jobs or done casual work over the years, you might have money in several super funds. One super account means less paper work and not having to manage multiple super accounts.
If you consolidate your super, you'll have fewer funds to manage and it'll be easier to keep track of your retirement savings.
By making a personal super contribution and claiming the amount as a tax deduction, you may be able to pay less tax and invest more in super. The contribution will generally be taxed in the fund at the concessional rate of up to 15 per cent instead of your marginal tax rate which could be up to 47 per cent, including the Medicare Levy. Additional 15 per cent tax applies to concessional super contributions if your combined income and concessional contributions exceed $250,000. Visit the ATO website to check the latest tax rates.
This strategy could result in a tax saving and enable you to increase your super balance.
To claim the super contribution as a tax deduction, you need to submit a valid 'Notice of Intent' form. You'll also need to receive an acknowledgement from the super fund. You'll need this before you complete your tax return, start a pension or withdraw or rollover money from the fund you made your personal contribution to. It's generally not tax-effective to claim a tax deduction for an amount that reduces your taxable income below the threshold at which the 19 per cent marginal tax rate is payable. This is because you would end up paying more tax on the super contribution than you would save from claiming the deduction.
You might also be able to reduce your tax and boost your super balance through salary sacrifice. This is an agreement with your employer to contribute a certain amount of your pre-tax salary or potential bonus into your super. The word sacrifice doesn't really make this strategy sound appealing, but it has some great benefits.
Instead of being taxed at your marginal tax rate, these contributions are generally taxed at the concessional rate of up to 15 per cent (an additional 15 per cent tax applies to concessional super contributions if your combined income and concessional contributions exceed $250,000). For example, if you earn $95,000 a year, you could save up to 24c in every dollar sacrificed.
If you're a high income earner, you'll be taxed an extra 15 per cent on your before-tax contributions (30 per cent in total). However, this is still lower than your marginal tax rate of 47 per cent (including the Medicare Levy).
Making before tax contributions to super can be a tax effective way of building wealth. Before tax (or concessional) contributions also include mandatory contributions made by your employer and are capped at $25,000 per year regardless of your age. Penalties apply for exceeding the cap.
The Government's MoneySmart website has a great super contributions optimiser calculator that can give you an idea of how salary sacrificing can affect your super and take home pay.
If you like the idea of salary sacrificing, it's a good idea to discuss it with your employer and see if you can make an arrangement with them to do this.
Maybe you've received an inheritance, a bonus, or sold an asset? If you are considering making non-concessional (after-tax) contributions to your super, there are important things to consider. The after-tax contributions cap is $100,000 pa, or up to $300,000, if you bring forward two years' worth of contributions. To be eligible to make non-concessional contributions, certain requirements must be met. For more information visit the ATO website or contact your financial adviser.
Government super co-contributions also help eligible people boost their retirement savings. If you're a low income earner and you make personal (after-tax) contributions to your super fund, the government also makes a contribution (called a co-contribution) up to a maximum amount of $500.
The amount of government co-contribution you receive depends on your income and how much you contribute. When you lodge a tax return, the ATO will work out if you're eligible. If the super fund has your tax file number (TFN) they'll pay it to your super account automatically. The way your co-contribution is calculated depends on the financial year in which you made your personal super contributions. You can visit the ATO website for specific income levels and amounts.
You may be able to make after-tax contributions to your super before you turn 65 even if you're not working. After 65, you'll need to meet a 'work test' each financial year to be able to make after-tax contributions (you'll need to have worked 40 hours over a consecutive 30 day period). And you can't make after-tax contributions once you're 75.
Is your spouse working part-time, earning a low income or currently not working (but not retired)? If so, you may both be able to benefit by making a 'spouse contribution' to their super account. In the 2017/18 financial year, if your spouse's assessable income is less than $40,000 and you make a spouse contribution on their behalf into their super account, you'll receive a tax offset of up to $540 a year. Other eligibility criteria apply.
Remember the tax and super systems are complex and subject to change, and everyone's financial situation is different. So before making any major changes make sure you speak to your financial planner.


Most vinegars tend to be around 5-6% but I found a stronger distilled vinegar that says it's for pickling and it's 10%. Anyone know what the max strength that is safe for human consumption? I tasted it in some uncooked sauce last night (just a small taste) and today my throat is jacked up. My co-worker recently had strep throat so it could be that too but I'm now worried about sharing my new sauce if it's too acidic to be safe.
Vinegar is acetic acid diluted with water to be a certain percentage, so if the vinegar is too strong, add more water to your recipe. In fact some people use 100% acetic acid.
Ultimately, I'd say that the important part is the acidity of the sauce, not that of the vinegar. Assuming proper mixing, a small amount of high concentration vinegar will differ from a large amount of weak vinegar only in liquid content.
Edited by spicefreak, 22 June 2017 - 03:59 PM.
Some people use 100% acetic acid in hot sauce !?!
Uh yes, you are missing the big picture as spicefreak posted... you measure the acidity of the sauce, not the individual ingredient. If you make a sauce WITH 100% lime juice, does that mean the sauce is made OF100% lime juice???? No. In fact it could be barely detectable with all the other ingredients.
Tabasco uses 10% vinegar for Tabasco sauce.
Your sauce is "safe" but may not be "palatable". If you drink lemonade with no sugar, it will likely have a similar effect.
As others have said, it's part of the whole product. Like sauces that say "made with Carolina Reaper Chiles, the HOTTEST chiles in the WORLD!!!" Yes, Ed Currie's Carolina Reapers are the hottest chiles in the world, but if the sauce maker uses 1/2 an ounce of Reapers in 2 gallons of sauce.....that's not a lot of chiles in the whole batch and the sauce won't be that hot.
most extension service recipes for pickles and such list 6 cups 5% vinegar and 3 cups water plus whatever salt and spices. A person could use 3 cups 10% vinegar and 6 cups water and the resulting brine would have the same acidity.
Let's say you are getting ready to launch your BestEverSauceCompany, you have the PERFECT sauce recipe with lots of freaking awesome ingredients, and the viscosity is Perfect...so you sent it out to the FoodLab for pH testing ....AwCRAP! The pH is too low!(edit- actually, that should be the pH is TOO HIGH...or... the amount of acidity in the sauce is too low) Well, you could double the amount of 5% vinegar, but that would mess up the viscosity...or you could use 10% vinegar. Doubling the acids in the sauce without compromising the consistency. Just one example.
EDIT- if the amount of acids (vinegar, lemon/lime juices) in the sauce are too low, the pH level will be too high. Adding more acidity lowers the pH. Sorry for the DPSE!
Edited by salsalady, 25 June 2017 - 01:42 PM.
I've been searching for that info for a long time! Curious how you came about this fact? From my understanding, Tabasco doesn't dilute at all based on videos I've watched of their production process.
That's one of my favorite brands ever. I hope it's not true. How did you find out about this?
From what I've seen from El Yucateco, they conducted testing themselves and released statements to their customers after the initial claims were published.
Friends, as a result of the recently published UNLV study regarding lead levels in some imported hot sauces; we had each of our four habanero sauces tested by an independent lab. The results have come back and we are pleased to report, there were NO detectable lead levels found in any of our sauces tested.
Thank you for your continued support of our brand. The health and safety of our consumers is and always will be our #1 priority.
Please see the attached for additional information regarding lead and safety levels."
I had quit eating the sauce after the initial report, but I went back to consuming it (usually at my local Mexican restaurant) after I saw the issue was being/had been addressed.
I honestly don't remember where I read that.

Q: How do I simplify Compojure routes? I have the following code to define my routes in Compojure:
(ns my-project.my-test
  (:gen-class)
  (:require
   [my-test.template-views :refer :all]
   [compojure.core :refer [defroutes GET POST context]]
   [compojure.route :as route]
   [org.httpkit.server :refer [run-server]]))

(defn wrap-request
  [handler]
  (fn [request]
    (let [{remote-addr :remote-addr uri :uri scheme :scheme request-method :request-method} request]
      (println (str "REQUEST: " request)))
    (handler request)))

(defroutes app
  (wrap-request
   (GET "/" request
     {:status 200
      :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
      :body (template-body (:uri request))}))
  (wrap-request
    (GET "/page1" request
      {:status 200
       :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
       :body (template-body (:uri request))}))
  (wrap-request
    (GET "/page2" request
      {:status 200
       :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
       :body (template-body (:uri request))}))
  (wrap-request
    (GET "/page3" request
      {:status 200
       :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
       :body (template-body (:uri request))}))
  (route/resources "/")
  (route/not-found {:status 404
                    :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
                    :body "
Not Found
"}))

That works but it seems like I should be able to simplify it like this:
(ns my-project.my-test
  (:gen-class)
  (:require
   [my-test.template-views :refer :all]
   [compojure.core :refer [defroutes GET POST context]]
   [compojure.route :as route]
   [org.httpkit.server :refer [run-server]]))

(defn wrap-request
  [handler]
  (fn [request]
    (let [{remote-addr :remote-addr uri :uri scheme :scheme request-method :request-method} request]
      (println (str "REQUEST: " request)))
    (handler request)))

(defn wrap-template
  [route]
  (wrap-request
   (GET route request
     {:status 200
      :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
      :body (template-body (:uri request))})))

(defroutes app
  (map wrap-template ["/" "/page1" "/page2" "/page3"])
  (route/resources "/")
  (route/not-found {:status 404
                    :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
                    :body "
Not Found
"}))

However, when I do, I get this error backtrace:
Sat Apr 24 22:38:33 MDT 2021 [worker-2] ERROR - GET /page2

    at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:834)

Is there something about using (map) that is wrong here?

A: routes (and thus defroutes) expects each argument to be a request handler function. A list of handlers is not a handler function; hence the error. Happily, there is a function to convert a list of handlers to a single handler: routes! Since it wants N separate arguments, rather than a single list, you will need apply as well. So:
(defroutes app
  (apply routes (map wrap-template ["/" "/page1" "/page2" "/page3"]))
  (route/resources "/")
  (route/not-found {:status 404
                    :headers {"Content-Type" "text/html"}
                    :body "

As an aside, I generally suggest not using defroutes, simply because it does not compose as easily as separate def + routes, and for beginners it leads to forgetting that anything but defroutes exists, when in fact most interesting servers will want to apply a function to some of their routes.

Paper says Chinese anti-corruption drive nets Politburo member
BEIJING, Jan 27 (Reuters) - A senior Chinese official is
under investigation, a Hong Kong newspaper reported at the
weekend, in a case that could represent the first time a
national political figure has been netted in China's
anti-corruption drive.
Li Jianguo, a member of the country's elite Politburo and
the vice chairman of the national rubber-stamp legislature, has
not been charged with any offence.
The Hong Kong-based Ming Pao newspaper however reported that
Li had checked into a Beijing military hospital due to
"psychological stress" from the investigation.
A call to the National People's Congress news department was
not answered on Sunday.
If charges do result, Li would be the highest-ranking
official snagged in an anti-corruption drive launched by the new
party leadership.
Earlier this month, the new head of China's ruling communist
party, Xi Jinping, said anti-corruption efforts should target
low-ranking "flies" as well as powerful "tigers".
Not all corruption investigations result in charges, and
officials rumoured to be under investigation often reappear in
public in a sign that their case has been cleared.
Li, who is not a widely known political figure, was formerly
secretary to Li Ruihuan, a powerful official throughout the
1990s. He is considered close to the Communist Youth League, the
power base for outgoing Chinese president Hu Jintao, and was
only named to the Politburo in November.
He spent many years as party secretary of Shaanxi Province
before a brief stint as party secretary of Shandong Province.
If charged, Li would be only the fourth member of the
Politburo, a powerful grouping of only 25 senior Party members,
to be toppled in a corruption scandal since 1995.
The anti-corruption drive has so far implicated mostly
regional officials, including the deputy party boss of Sichuan
Province, Li Chuncheng, who had for many years overseen
development of the province's prosperous capital, Chengdu.
A construction magnate has also been detained in that case.
Li is a common family name in China, and the three Lis are
unrelated.
