Q: 10k users should not be able to dispute flags on their own answers/questions I flagged an answer on Assertion fails after using memcpy() as "not an answer" because I felt it should have been a comment. The answer had been posted by a 10k+ user, and shortly after I flagged it the flag status changed to "disputed".
I assume the answerer disputed the flag themselves; I think that 10k+ users should not be able to dispute flags on their own content.
(In truth I suspect my own answer would have been better as a comment as well, but I only thought of that once I'd posted it, and I couldn't see any way for me to convert my own answer to a comment!)

A: 10k users cannot see flags for their own posts. What happened is that other users who thought what posted as answer was really an answer voted your flag to be invalid.

SFX Collection: Best Of British
Posted by John Hoare	on 2nd August 2005, 20:55
Yeah, yeah, I know. TOS mentioned it. We mentioned it. Seb mentioned it. And now we're mentioning it again. But I'm sorry, but I can't let it go without another item on it now I've got it, for a number of reasons.
Firstly: just to fucking recommend buying it. It's a beautifully produced mag – wonderfully concieved, designed, and written. And best of all, it comes with a booklet The Art Of Doctor Who ; which has a load of conceptual artwork and photos from behind-the-scenes of the new series, that is worth the £5.99 on its own. Just buy it, even if you don't usually get SFX – you won't be disappointed.
Speaking of the Who booklet, there's eight pages of photos about Tucker and team's crash sequence, some of which I hadn't seen before, and all of which I'd not seen so nice and clearly. There's a beautiful shot of the whole team, and a couple showing how the crash was actually achieved. Interestingly, the image was flipped in the finished show, as it was decided that the crash should happen from the opposite direction late into production.
And so, onto the two Dwarf pieces themselves – the Top 50 British Telefantasy Shows placing piece (a nice full two pages), and the Doug Naylor interview (a whole four!). They tell don't tell any of us lot anything we don't already know, but then I didn't really expect them to, as that's not really their aim. They are very nicely written though, and unusually free from mistakes – the only one I spotted was the captioning of this photo as being from "the Dwarfless seasons of the show, when they zipped around Starbug instead" – you'd have thought Holly in the background would have given it away, at least.
And lastly, I couldn't let Doug's latest words on the film and TV series go unquoted, even though we know it all anyway:
FILM: "It's not so much in 'development Hell' right now as it is in 'finding money Hell'! The script's all beautiful, it's just the money! I'm constantly meeting people who say they've got the money, they'll get the money, they're about to get the money, who then turn out not to be telling the entire whole truth. The film world seems to be riddled with people like that. I'm aware that you can't make the film for three or four million pounds like many low-budget British movies, because it's science fiction, but it's also just difficult to get a film made where I'm not prepared to change the case and sell out to an American cast."
TV: "It depends on the fil;m. There could be a TV series in time. I mean, in the end Red Dwarf has sold more videos and DVDs than anything the BBC has ever made, I think, including all the new stuff. There's a passionate audience there, and it's all looking good at the moment, but you just can't count your chickens."
So, you know, go and buy it, like.
7 comments on "SFX Collection: Best Of British"
Is it terrible that I wanted the interview with Doug to say something like :
I'm constantly meeting people who say they've got the money, they'll get the money, they're about to get the money, who then turn out not to be telling the entire whole truth. The film world seems to be riddled with people like that. In fact, these guys actually made a fan film about how difficult it's been for us to get the money, and it was so good we've put it on the next DVD.
Buy this month's Empire and get their free 'Best Science-Fiction' magazine – Rimmerworld is down as one of the ten greatest worlds/planets.

Oh well, suprised it isn't mentioned somewhere on the main GandT site.
John Hoare says:
It wasn't a big enough piece to warrant it, really. Admittedly, that never usually stops us…
Okay, cool. Agree with sentiments in the OD article though.
BBC Ceefax mentioned it too.

Pyay Kyaw / The Irrawaddy
St. Joseph Cotto Legnos Leprosy Colony in Southern Shan State
Pyay Kyaw The Irrawaddy
LOILEN, Shan State — Located seven miles from Loilen town in southern Shan State, St. Joseph Cotto Legnos Leprosy Colony—known locally as Hohkai Leprosy Shelter—was established by an Italian priest over 70 years ago and is now home to 90 people with leprosy from all over Burma.
The patients—ranging from 13 years old to over 80—often suffer from limb deformities caused by the disease and are cared for by priests.
Those at the shelter tend to farmland and rear livestock but their produce is shunned at local markets due to stigma around the disease.
The majority of patients no longer plan to return to their families, but entrust their fate to God.
One such patient, named Maya, said she will end her days at the shelter. She recalled being forced to live at her town's cemetery because of the disease and sneaking back to see her family at night time.
The shelter receives no government funding despite the help it offers people with disease and relies on donations from other countries.
For leprosy patients who do not wish to live within the shelter, priests have established a colony of five villages that house up to 300 people.
In 2003, the government announced it had achieved an early leprosy elimination target by reducing the incidence of the disease to less than one in every 10,000 people.
Although the number of new cases in Burma has declined over the last 10 years, there were 2,877 cases in 2014 and 2,571 cases in 2015, according to Rangoon General Hospital.

Powerhouse singer Elise LeGrow plays with the classic sounds of R&B.
Why you should listen
With a thunderous rasp, spellbinding style and elegant, dynamic mystique, Elise LeGrow is the Canadian powerhouse defying pop culture chronology -- wowing Questlove, Betty Wright and a crew of R&B legends along the way. She melds fiery passion and sophistication with just a hint of sandpaper grit in a voice that could only belong to a star, no matter the era or genre.
LeGrow's debut album, Playing Chess (S-Curve/BMG), draws from the catalog of Chicago's iconic Chess Records, home to pioneers like Muddy Waters, Etta James, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Rather than faithfully recreate such revered material, LeGrow's interpretations completely transport these classic tracks to a world where the past and present are inextricably intertwined.

Sketches that speak volumes. When illustrator Christoph Niemann wakes up after falling asleep on an airplane, he says, "I have the most terrible taste in my mouth that cannot be described with words … But it can be drawn."

A great way to add some real feel to your game is camera shaking. It's great for signifying the action and making your camera feel more real and part of game.
Let's try it with scripting first.
The code in the scripts is shown as below.
In this script, the coroutine is used for shaking the camera. If you don't know how to use coroutine you can check this blog out the link is mentioned below.
You can see the screen shaking .
But wait, It has some limitation. It doesn't rotate the camera in any way and there is no way to control the roughness.
It just moves the camera every frame and using coroutine is bit clunky sometimes. So, if you want smoother camera shake this is not the way to go.
The screen shook again so you learned one more way to shake the camera.
Yeah! The screen shaking was so smoother than the both the other way, wasn't it?
By this way you created your camera shake with the plugin. But wait, does this mean that the shaking camera with the script and animation was bad idea.

Lakers News: Luke Walton says Kyle Kuzma starting 'on the table'
by Jacob Rude
No player has stood out for the Los Angeles Lakers more in the preseason than forward Kyle Kuzma. Through four preseason games, Kuzma has averaged 19.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and hit 62 percent of his field goals and 30 percent of his three-pointers.
His hot play hasn't only caught the attention of the fans, but also the coaching staff as they've begun to toss around the idea of inserting Kuzma into the starting line-up.
Luke Walton said the idea of starting Kuzma is at least on the table, but at this point, he likes the scoring punch Kyle brings to 2nd unit
— Eric Pincus (@EricPincus) October 9, 2017
As it stands, the Lakers appear to have a starting lineup set with Lonzo Ball, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Brandon Ingram, Julius Randle and Brook Lopez.
With that in mind, Caldwell-Pope will be suspended the first two games of the season. While Kuzma wouldn't be a natural fit into the lineup, the team could move Ingram to shooting guard and play Kuzma at small forward to provide spacing and shooting in the starting line-up.
It's also worth noting that Randle came off the bench in the Lakers' preseason game against Sacramento. Larry Nance started in his place, but Kuzma could be the guy that takes his spot in the future should his hot play continue.
Benching Randle, though, would plummet any potential trade value he'd have, which matters with the Lakers' desire to create room for two max contracts heading into the summer of 2018.
As great as he's been in the preseason, it's again worth noting that Kuzma will likely regress to the mean and that he has only played 11 games as a professional. However, he's also proving with each game that he needs to see the floor and is a perfect fit next to Ball and in a Lakers' offense that wants to run and gun.
Whether this all leads to Kuzma seeing time in the starting line-up is hard to tell, but he's certainly making a compelling case for it through the opening four games of the preseason.

David Plouffe On Becker's Book: "Decidedly Inaccurate"
The account Jo Becker gives of the Obama administration's response to the issue of marriage equality is one of the few parts of the book that has not been demolished since it was published. Since her account did not square with my own memory, I asked David Plouffe to address some of the claims in the book and he was eager to do so. Plouffe ran Obama's 2008 campaign and during the time in question was Senior Adviser To The President.
Below is a Q and A I had with Plouffe today on the events Becker purports to report. My questions are in italics. Plouffe's answers follow:
AS: Becker's book argues that the president's position seemed stalled on marriage equality in 2011 and 2012 and that he likely did not intend to evolve any further on marriage before his second term. Do you agree?
DP: Absolutely not. The President made a decision that he was ready to "fully evolve" and announce his support for marriage equality. As he put it, "If I get asked if I was still a state legislator in Illinois would I vote to recognize same sex marriages as New York State did, the answer will be yes." So the only question was when and how to announce in 2012 he would be the first President to support marriage equality, not whether to.
AS: What were the major and minor influences that caused the president to embrace marriage equality when he did?
DP: His evolution was not contrived as some suggest, but real. He spoke powerfully to some of his reasons in the Robin Roberts interview, but also the decision not to defend DOMA was instrumental, as well as the increasing number of states that were recognizing marriage. However, his family and friends and the discussions they had were likely the single greatest influence. His ultimate support for marriage equality was arrived at in a way that while public, was not too dissimilar to the journey many of us in the country took. Also, the President believed his support for marriage equality could change the opinions of some in his electoral coalition – witness the striking change in support in the African-American community which was illustrated in the Maryland ballot initiative results in 2012.
Given the Democratic convention and the Debates, where this issue was sure to come up, and that he had personally decided to support marriage equality, the plan was to make sure the announcement was made by June.
AS: Did Biden force your hand on substance? Or just the timing? What was the president's personal response to Biden's public statement?
DP: Not even the timing really. We were planning to do so within a week or two. So it might have sped it up by a matter of days, if that. He was very calm about it. He understood that this would be a historic moment and years from now, if not months (which turned out to be the case for most) all that mattered would be the words he spoke, not the process to get there. I will confess to being exercised because this was a historic moment and I wanted that to be the focus, not why we were doing it or how the timing was forced. He was right, I was wrong.
AS: David Brooks argues today that judging from Becker's book, this was a decision dominated by elite political strategists. Is that your recollection?
DP: Not all all.
DP: Once he made the decisions, it was a settled debate. All we did was help think thru the timing and some of the questions that would arise from his statement. I understand the Becker book may give people that sense. It is decidedly inaccurate. I sat beside him from his decision not to defend DOMA in early 2011 to his embrace of marriage equality on May 9, 2012. It was his call. And from my unique perch at the time, I can assure you there were no guarantees this would not cost us votes in some of the battleground states. It was one of my favorite days in the whole Obama experience. Doing something historic and right that had risk associated with it – I'm certain that's how history will capture it, not some of the BS out there now.
AS: Was the president's reluctance to embrace a federal right to marry a function of his caution or of his understanding that civil marriage has been a state issue in the US?
DP: The latter, exactly. Though I think he believes that ultimately the Courts and the states will move almost universally in the right direction and we certainly have seen progress on both fronts since his announcement. There really hasn't been an issue at least in modern times that has seen this rapid support growth, and given support levels for marriage equality across the ideological spectrum of those under 35, the path is clear.
AS: Over the first term, the administration had successively endorsed the notion of heightened scrutiny for gay rights cases, had bowed out of defending DOMA in the courts and had ended DADT. How did these events change the debate about marriage equality within the administration? Or were they irrelevant?
DP: I believe that while you had to look at each individually and make decisions based on the unique core facts at hand – and any administration must – there is no doubt that each was a barrier that was overcome and the result of each pointed in the same direction towards progress. Surely some will disagree with this this, but I think the gradual progression on the issues you mention in the first three years leading up to his marriage equality statement helped ultimately build support broadly for the equality case. Some may get frustrated by this, but the President has always had a very good sense of timing, even when it seems slow or not how they would do it on The West Wing TV show. I think in this case, we will look back and understand that each chapter unfolding as it did was the right path for the overall cause.
AS: Was there a sell-by date by which time the administration believed it had to endorse marriage equality before the election?
DP: Yes – our internal clock was June. There was platform language for the convention that had to be agreed to and the debates looming and he would start doing a lot of local interviews as well as national. It would be impossible to imagine not getting the question – directly (Are you still evolving?) or hypothetically (would you vote for it in the Illinois legislature?) We were actively working thru dates and options in the very near term when the VP made his statements on MTP.
When you read the book, you get the impression that Chad Griffin did almost all of this himself. Think about that claim for a moment. And what it says about his vision of the marriage equality movement and its hundreds of thousands of participants, gay and straight, over the last two and a half decades.

What Type of Microorganism Is Used to Make Cheese?
By: Wendy Anderson
Why Is Milk a Good Medium for Bacterial Growth?
Does Tiramisu Have to Stay Refrigerated?
What Is Animal Rennet?
Difference Between Fermented Milk & Spoiled Milk
Uses for Curdled Milk
FRENCH CHEESE image by Pierre HELGER from Fotolia.com
The kind of microorganism -- bacteria or fungus -- required to make cheese varies with the type of cheese. Some cheeses use a combination of microorganisms, while others require only one.
parmiggiano image by Renato Francia from Fotolia.com
The primary function of bacteria in cheese-making is to acidify the milk by eating the milk sugar (lactose). The bacteria are added as cheese starter, of which there are two types. Mesophilic starters can be directly added to the milk and usually contain several subspecies of Lactococcus lactis or Leuconostoc mesenteroides. Thermophilic starters must be cultured before they can be added to the milk and contain Streptococcus thermophilus or Lactobacillus delbrueckii .
cheese image by AGITA LEIMANE from Fotolia.com
Fungus (or mold) spores are used to make cheeses with bloomy rinds or with veins. Penicillium camemberti is the primary fungus used for rinds, in cheeses such as camembert and brie. Penicillium roqueforti is used for blue or veined cheeses such as roquefort, stilton, gammelost, and gorgonzola.
Other Microorganisms
Certain types of bacteria are required for the production of specific cheeses, in addition to the starter bacteria and fungi. For example, Swiss cheeses require propionic acid bacteria to achieve their characteristic round holes.

Q: Can a controller influence the _layout.cshtml file? I'm stuck! I'm under the impression that the _layout.cshtml file is used for MasterPage-like content. Everything there is rendered on every page. Naturally, I want to write the code for rendering my sidebar menu in that file.
I want to dynamically display a list of Categories from my DB, but I'm having a problem with passing the actual model of categories to Layout.cshtml since it seems no controller actually touches it.
Any suggestions?
Otherwise please tell me how to approach this problem. I've been wracking my brain for the past three days and still no elegant solution.
I need to:

*

*Dynamically fetch a list of Categories from the DB.

*Display this list of Categories on every single view. (Hence the use of _layout.cshtml)

*Elegantly handle each different categories click.

I'm at my wits end. :P How would you solve this?

A: _layout.cshtml
@if(isSectionDefined("Categories"))
{

      @RenderSection("Categories", required: false )

}

index.cshtml
@section Categories {

Category One

Category Two

Category Three

}

see this : http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/12/30/asp-net-mvc-3-layouts-and-sections-with-razor.aspx

A: Any viewmodel that you pass to your view is automatically available within your master page. If you do not use RenderAction/Action which is the best approach, then you must create the necessary master page data in every action and add it to viewdata - either by having a common base class for your strongly typed viewmodel that contains all master page data or by using the viewdata dictionary.
I would strongly recommend that you go down the html.action approach though. In this way, you have a totally separate controller action for dealing with your list of categories. This action can retrieve the neccesary category data and return the categorylist usercontrol as a partialview and you will not have to worry about polluting all your other actions with this data.

A: As I see it, ViewData (and its relatives like ViewBag, Model, etc.) is meant for the specific current view. Your _Layout.cshtml is not specific to the current view; and it would be awkward if EVERY controller would have to pass the categories data in addition to whatever else data it needs to pass for the view.
Instead, what I do, is provide a static method in one of my helper classes that retrieves the categories from the DB. I also do some caching there, so that I do not have to hit the DB on every single request. The _Layout.cshtml then simply calls this static method. Simple and elegant.
If you wish, you can bring this out to a partial view, make it a helper method, whatever.
One note of caution though - my custom error view also uses the same _Layout.cshtml, and if the DB goes down, you get an exception trying to display the exception. ASP.NET MVC is smart enough to detect this and abort processing, but you're left with a nondescript default error page. What I did was to place try...catch statements around these dangerous calls, which quietly ignore the exception if the current page is the error view.

A: I've achieved something similar by having my ViewModels implement an Interface which has members that contain the menu data. In my action method I set that data. Then in my view I check to see if my view-model implements that inteface, pull the menu data out and render the menu (in a partial view actually)

Study: Underwater Noise Pollution Causes Confusion, Stress For Fish
by Charles Hartwell
Shares7ShareTweetEmail
NEWCASTLE Upon TYNE, England — New research has found that noise pollution in the oceans is causing negative effects on fish. The deep-sea sounds are leaving the fish confused, and making it difficult for them to make proper judgements when hunting prey or avoiding predators.
Researchers at Newcastle University studied 54 European sea bass inside a tank at another university in the United Kingdom. The authors exposed the fish to piling sounds recorded 2-5 meters below the surface of a construction site for a new lifeboat station in the Swansea Bay, and drilling sounds from the installation of a new tidal barrage at the English Channel.
A new study finds that underwater noise pollution from construction sites can confuse fish and leave them more susceptible to predators.
Each of the recordings met the hearing range — 100 – 1,000 Hz — of many fish species including sea bass. While researchers played these recordings to the fish, they also staged simulations of a predator approaching.
They found that while the piling sounds were playing, the fish showed signs of confusion, wildly turning and failing to avoid the predator. During the drilling recordings, the authors observed the fish spent a majority of their time away from the sound, keeping to what the researchers referred to as the "safe zone."
The researchers also noticed that the fish took time to recover from the noise pollution.
"Over the last few decades, the sea has become a very noisy place," says lead researcher Ilaria Spiga, in a university news release. "The effects we saw were subtle changes, which may well have the potential to disrupt the seabass's ability to remain in tune with its environment."
Spiga explains that the noise pollution impairs the judgement of the fish, noting that it may have a negative influence on their communication and reproductive functions.
"Sea bass, along with other bony fishes, rely on a characteristic 'startle and response' mechanism to get away from predators. Exposure to underwater noises can make it harder for fishes to detect and react to predators," says Spiga, adding that the sounds can hamper their food-detecting capabilities.

Moreover, noise pollution may even have a significant impact on fish populations.
"Man-made marine noise could potentially have an adverse effect on reproduction also. If fishes actively avoided areas where these sounds are present it could prevent them from entering spawning grounds, or affect communication between individuals," says Spiga.
To prevent such a catastrophe, the researchers propose limits on how long drilling and piling at construction sites near waterways can take place. Giving marine life ample time to return to a normal atmosphere would help ensure a healthy existence.
The study's findings were published in the September 15, 2017 edition of the journal Marine Pollution Bulletin.

These products are designed to seal the ElectraGuard Floor Paint. Sealing the ElectraGuard dramatically improves the wear and scuff mark resistance while providing a high tech shine and luster to the ElectraGuard. The normal process is to apply 2 to 3 coats of ElectraGuard followed by 2 thin coats of ElectraThane and 1 thin coat of ElectraGlaze. ElectraThane is much tougher than ElectraGlaze but doesn't polish well with a high speed buffer. ElectraThane doesn't respond to floor wax strippers. ElectraGlaze is a conductive floor finish. It responds well to wax strippers and is very scuff resistant. Scuff marks can generally be polished off of the coating with a high speed floor buffing machine equipped with a white or champagne colored pad.

This is one of them few trails within a National Park that are designated for MTB use along with hikers & equestrians. The trail is on an old and overgrown road bed that goes through the forest and eventually leads to a high bluff over-looking the Middle Fork and the North Fork of the Flathead River where an old ranger station once stood. This area and the old Flathead Ranger Station were burned in the summer of 2003 by the Trapper Lake Fire.
Other than a 200 yard section around a fallen bridge there is nothing technical about this trail, just a peaceful ride through the burned woods, it is interesting to see the new foliage taking hold here quickly. Great ride for beginners or a family outing while visiting the Park.
The trail does continue on past the overlook however becomes very primitive past that point.
Review: Nice ride next to the river and through the only trail for biking in Glacier NP. We packed a lunch and ate on a cliff with awesome views.
Flathead River Ranger Station MTB Trail 3.00 out of 5 based on 1 ratings. 1 user reviews.

Pussy Riot members Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova are demanding the Russian government pay them compensation of over $300,000 for what they allege amounts to torture during their prosecution and subsequent imprisonment for a 2012 "punk prayer" in a Moscow cathedral.
The women, who were released last December after serving 21 months in prison and pre-trial detention are suing the Kremlin in the European Court of Human Rights.
They are demanding $160,000 each in compensation and $13,000 to cover court costs, arguing that their investigation and prosecution violated their rights and amounted to torture.

The pair say that Russia, which is a member of the European convention on human rights, violated four key articles guaranteeing the rights to freedom of expression, liberty and security and a fair trial, and prohibiting torture.
The women were tried in a court where they were held in glass or barred cages and transport from pre-trial detention to the court took up to four hours, accompanied at all times by police dog handlers.
If their bid is successful the pair plan to challenge their conviction for religiously hooliganism and seek to have it overturned in Russia.
Pavel Chikov, head of Russian human rights legal group Agora, which is representing the two, said neither woman had received a fair trial and the case could set a precedent for free speech in Russia.
The two would donate any compensation they receive to human rights groups, including their own penal reform organization.

"Often compared with The Incredible String Band, with whom they share the opportunism and wilful approach to folk music, this band managed to deliver two completely unique albums in a style of their own. The attitude towards making music is an altogether spontaneous one, which makes for both hilarious mistakes (not mixed away in the control-room, of course) and highly inventive half-improvised parts. Most readers will at least be acquainted with Stangely Strange But Oddly Normal from the first album, as this cut was included on the much cherished sampler Nice Enough To Eat from 1968, a track with an eerie beauty, which never managed to get clear outlines. More of the same, hardly rock music, but very psychedelic nonetheless, is featured on Kip. The lyrics are partly very wise, partly utter nonsense. (Which is which, is up to you). Unexpected twists and turns are scattered across almost all songs. The music is acoustic throughout, almost amateurish, but continuously charming."-- The Tapestry Of Delights
Dr. Strangely Strange are inevitably compared to the The Incredible String Band (ISB) (as well as Comus, Mellow Candle, The Trees and Forest). They engaged in the same type of psychedelic acoustic folk music as the ISB on their classic debut LP "Kip of the Serenes", but their second and final LP "Heavy Petting" is quite different.
The band was formed in Dublin in 1967 by Tim Booth (vocals and guitar) and Ivan Pawle (bass and keyboards). They became a trio with the addition of keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Tim Goulding. They began living and rehearsing in a house owned by Goulding's girlfriend, backing vocalist Orphan Annie, which was nicknamed 'The Orphanage', which will be familiar to Thin Lizzy fans. Orphan Annie is also credited with photography on the bands second LP.
The were heavily influenced by the ISB with whom they became friends and supported them in Dublin in 1969 (1968?).
Robin Williamson of the ISB recommended the Strangelys to Joe Boyd and vice versa. Boyd was a potentially sympathetic producer having recorded both the ISB and Fairport Convention. The ISB were signed to his Witchseason management company and he was a producer at Island Records, one of the most progressive labels in England at the time. A demo was sent and Boyd travelled to Carlow to see the band perform (supporting Skid Row). The story goes that he wasn't completely convinced at first and it was only when Bernard Stollman of ESP Records offered the Strangelys a deal (after witnessing a performance in Dublin) that Boyd reconsidered and offered them a deal in 1969.
Kip of The Serenes was recorded in London in one and a half days. The credits list a similar array of acoustic folk instruments as found on the ISB recordings, including guitars, whistles, fiddles, harmonium and mandolin. They also shared a similar wide eyed and eccentic enthusiastic hippy vibe. But where the ISB sound rural the Strangelys sound urban, and the ISB are the more accomplished musicians. The Strangely's music was more structured and melodic, and the lyrics carried more literary undercurrents. So they weren't simply ISB copyists and the album is an acid folk classic.
The inclusion of "Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal" on the Nice Enough To Eat budget sampler helped increase the bands exposure and they were extremely busy touring and recording during a two year perid spanning 1969-71. While on tour with Fotheringay, they enlisted drummer Neil Hopwood, and later in November 1969 they guested on the ISB's Changing Horses album. The second album "Heavy Petting" was released on the heavy progressive Vertigo label in the summer of 1970. It's a different kettle of fish, featuring Skid Row's Gary Moore (guitar) and Brush Shiels (bass), Andy Irvine (ex Sweeney's Men, mandolin), Johnny Moynihan (Sweeney's Men, bouzouki), and Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, drums). Produced again by Joe Boyd for Witchseasons Productions. While still chaotic and folk-based, it has more of a rock pulse.
Tim Goulding left to get married and was replaced in early 1971 by Gay & Terry Woods, late of Steeleye Span. The Strangelys split in May 1971 following a gig at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on the 16th. Gay & Terry Woods went on to form The Woods Band.
In early 1972 the core trio, who were all living back in Ireland, reunited for a tour of Ireland with a couple of new musicians in tow. A new Strangelys lineup performed in 1973 with Tim Booth as the only original member in the lineup. They played the free concert at the Pheonix Park in July 1973 (Jonathan Kelly played drums!).
The band proper returned in 1997 -- claiming they'd never actually split up -- with a surprise third album "Alternative Medicine" with additional members Joe Thoma (fiddle), Bruno Staehelin (drums) and several guests including Gary Moore (guitar).
Ten years later, in 2007, a CD of 1969-70 era recordings called "Halcyon Days" was released on Hut Records. This CD includes CD re-recorded tracks and the band members played a number of live shows in June 2007.
A couple of low quality live recordings from circa 1970 also surfaced around this time, including a gig at Les Cousins in London. These are very lo-fi and not a good introduction to the band.

Psalm 143:8Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
...to you I entrust my life.
Did you read that? or did you skip over the verse? Did the restating of phrases help you consider the words? Did you read it again?
It's interesting how a first read through scripture can be so good, but a second and third read can be downright sustaining. In a world where we consume most information in bite-sized chunks of 400 words or less, are we taking time to really chew on the goodness of God's word and let it nourish our souls?
In these posts, we hope to periodically share ideas which may help us to write God's word on our hearts--for the purpose of knowing God more deeply.
One way to slow down and digest the meat of the word is to process it through your pen. You might be saying, "O No! Not journaling!"
Such reactions might be warranted. Maybe you're not a word person, or you don't want to take the added time to write things down. Maybe you have a wrong perception of what a journal should contain.
To state at the outset, a journal does not need to be lengthy. It can hold brief, concise lists: records of right, thanks, praises, prayers. It may be wise to write it as if your closest loved ones will one day read it. It should not be a listing of names and details of those who have done you wrong.
Instead, you might view it as a way to recount God's goodness, a collection of Memorial Stones which remind you of His provision and good work.
Melissa shared at our Mom2Mom group recently how she often begins her quiet time with a Psalm. From that one chapter, she lists out five character traits she observes about God and then uses them to praise Him.
Shelly told our discussion table at a recent conference how journaling helps her understand and remember what she has read in the Bible. She keeps her journal with her as she reads scripture and will then write down the verses which challenge her. It helps her with recall and application.
Kathryn recently explained how God has shown her His goodness through a prayer journal in which she keeps an on-going list of prayers and concerns. She revisits them often, making notations and updates as those prayers are answered. It is plain to see how God has grown her faith through this process.
Are any of these ideas something you could incorporate in your quiet times?
Perhaps the greatest blessing I have experienced myself through journaling is to see the hand of God at work. It has grown my faith and helped me actively remember the goodness of the Lord.

A dangerous industry, but especially if you're Latino: Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Buzzfeed's David Noriega noted that the fatality rate for Latino construction workers has risen by more than 20 percent since 2010 (up to 231 deaths in 2013 from 181 in 2010), but for non-Latino construction workers it has fallen by 5 percent (to 565 from 593). In speaking to several legal experts and advocates about the numbers, Noriega heard a recurring explanation for the trend: Latino workers are often immigrants, sometimes undocumented, working in non-union jobs for small contractors that are less likely to be regulated. The article also gives voice to the numbers by recounting the story of Delfino Jesús Velázquez, a Staten Island construction worker who died this past November in an accident at work.
66 times more likely to be a lawyer: This chart from the Economist takes a while to understand, but the information it contains about representation (or lack thereof) is powerful. It uses data about the average member of American society and compares it to the average member of the 114th Congress to show how politicians are unlike the rest of us. Regardless of the party they're from or which chamber they sit in, members of Congress are far more likely than the average American to be over 65, military veterans or have a law degree.
American poverty in global perspective: Jordan Weissman starts this story in Slate with one simple question: How poor are America's poor, really? He sets out to answer it by comparing low-income Americans to others in wealthy countries using data from a European research center, LIS. He found that in per capita terms, the income of the poorest 5 percent of Americans is less than the income of the poorest 5 percent of Australians, British, French, Irish, Canadians, Belgians, Germans, Finnish, Swedish, Austrians, Dutch, Swiss, Danish and Norwegians. However, the United States moves up the rankings when you loosen the definition of poverty to be the poorest 10, 20, 30 or 40 percent of the country.
Women workers: This beautiful interactive map from Gregor Aisch, Josh Katz and David Leonhardt at The New York Times plots where in the U.S. women have jobs. You can focus in on specific parts of the country and compare female employment rates to those for men — as the example below does for Utah. While female employment rates have risen in most rich countries, they have fallen 5 percentage points since 2000 in the United States.
Who is most likely to have a ring on (then take it off): Dentists and chief executives were the people most likely to be married in 2010; in the 1950s, it was power plant operators and farm product buyers. The data, which Dorothy Gambrell at Businessweek analyzed, comes from the U.S. Census Bureau and shows that divorce by profession has also changed. In 1950, artists were the most likely profession to be divorced, but six decades later, it's postal clerks and mail handlers who most often part ways with their husbands and wives.
Crime and punishment: In another weekly example of "anecdata," we've got this chart from from Kiernan Nicholls, who plotted his daily progress reading his 490 page copy of the novel "Crime and Punishment." Actual page turns sadly lagged behind intended ones each week until a deadline appeared and Nicholls suddenly revved into action.
Turning 30: It can be scary for some people. If you're one of them, let these weird charts by Cecilia Rabess soothe you.

Q: Kubernetes deployment is missing Kustomize's hash suffixes I'm new to Kubernetes. In my project I'm trying to use Kustomize to generate configMaps for my deployment. Kustomize adds a hash after the configMap name, but I can't get it to also change the deployment to use that new configMap name.
Deployment:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: env-receiver-deployment
  labels:
    app: env-receiver-app
    project: env-project
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: env-receiver-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: env-receiver-app
        project: env-project
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: env-receiver-container
        image: eu.gcr.io/influxdb-241011/env-receiver:latest
        resources: {}
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
        envFrom:
        - configMapRef:
            name: env-receiver-config
        args: [ "-port=$(ER_PORT)", "-dbaddr=$(ER_DBADDR)", "-dbuser=$(ER_DBUSER)", "-dbpass=$(ER_DBPASS)" ]

kustomize.yml:
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
configMapGenerator:
- name: env-receiver-config
  literals:
  - ER_PORT=8080
  - ER_DBADDR=http://localhost:8086
  - ER_DBUSER=writeuser
  - ER_DBPASS=writeuser

Then I run kustomize, apply the deployment and check if it did apply the environment.
$ kubectl apply -k .
configmap/env-receiver-config-258g858mgg created
$ kubectl apply -f k8s/deployment.yml
deployment.apps/env-receiver-deployment unchanged
$ kubectl describe pod env-receiver-deployment-76c678dcf-5r2hl
Name:               env-receiver-deployment-76c678dcf-5r2hl
[...]
    Environment Variables from:
      env-receiver-config  ConfigMap  Optional: false
    Environment:           <none>
[...]

But it still gets its environment variables from: env-receiver-config, not env-receiver-config-258g858mgg.
My current workaround is to disable the hash suffixes in the kustomize.yml.
generatorOptions:
  disableNameSuffixHash: true

It looks like I'm missing a step to tell the deployment the name of the new configMap. What is it?

A: It looks like the problem come from the fact that you generate the config map through kustomize but the deployment via kubectl directly without using kustomize.
Basically, kustomize will look for all the env-receiver-config in all your resources and replace them by the hash suffixed version.
For it to work, all your resources have to go through kustomize.
To do so, you need to add to your kustomization.yml:
resources:
  - yourDeployment.yml

and then just run kubectl apply -k .. It should create both the ConfigMap and the Deployment using the right ConfigMap name


Comparision of results between posterior fossa decompression with and without duraplasty for the surgical treatment of Chiari malformation Type I:a systematic review and meta-analysis.

A team of specialist from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Bangalore and the Christian Medical College, Vellore, India published a study in 82 adult patients with Chiari I malformation and syringomyelia. They evaluated factors that might predict outcome following surgery and found that patients with gait imbalance and motor deficits did not respond to surgery as well as those without these findings. They also found that patients with more pronounced Chiari I malformations were more likely to respond favorably to surgery.

Phase-contrast MR imaging was used to measure CSF flow velocity at various points in the within the spinal canal in six patients with posttraumatic syringomyelia and in matched healthy controls. While CSF flow was found to be "relatively uniform along the spinal canal" in posttraumatic cases, the timing of flow differed from normal controls. Further understanding of the factors leading to the altered timing could lead to more effective treatments.

MEMA becomes Maryland Department of Emergency Management
Business, Politics
Posted on October 1, 2021 by Chris Montcalmo
REISTERSTOWN, MD—The Maryland Emergency Management Agency will become the Maryland Department of Emergency Management effective Friday, October 1, 2021. It will be a principal department reporting directly to the Governor's office, and will have greater flexibility to handle administrative functions, especially during emergencies. As part of this transition, the Maryland 9-1-1 Board will become part of the newly established department.
"These are challenging but exciting times for emergency management and this move better positions us to respond to those challenges," said Russ Strickland, the current MEMA Executive Director who becomes Acting Secretary of Emergency Management, pending confirmation by the Maryland State Senate in 2022. "The structure of our department will help us meet those challenges more efficiently and give us greater flexibility to serve Marylanders."
This move is part of a broader trend across the nation where emergency management agencies are moving to report directly to the chief executive in states or local communities. This direct line of communication establishes a link between emergency managers and executives within government, which reduces lag time and improves response and recovery activities. Maryland joins a growing list of states which have elevated their emergency management agencies to principal departments.
The Maryland Department of Emergency Management was enacted during the 2021 Maryland General Assembly session and signed into law by Governor Larry Hogan on May 18. The legislation also moved the Emergency Number Systems Board — also known as the Maryland 9-1-1 Board — to the new Department.
Emergency management traces its roots to 1949, when the Maryland Civil Defense Agency was created as part of the Governor's Office to face the challenges and nuclear hazards of the Cold War. In 1989, MEMA was created as part of the Maryland Military Department to focus on all natural and man-made hazards.
Emergency management staff will still work closely with its former parent agency. The Maryland National Guard and the Maryland Defense Force will continue to be important partners in preparation, training, response, and recovery activities.
The department will continue its focus on support for local emergency managers, effective mitigation strategies, coordinating emergency response, and helping the public better prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters.

Tom Holland Reveals It 'Breaks My Heart' After Gwyneth Paltrow Claimed She Doesn't Remember Working On Spider-Man: Homecoming
Published Sat Jun 29 2019 By Andrew
The Spider-Man star maintains that he is "heartbroken" after coming across the news that Gwyneth Paltrow didn't remember working with him.
Tom Holland is just a little bit upset as Gwyneth Paltrow just doesn't have any recollection being in his standalone Marvel movie.
The humorous revelation went viral after Paltrow, 46, made an attendance on Iron Man star and director Jon Favreau's Chef Show a few weeks ago, when she seemed confused once Favreau came through with the talk on how they worked in Spider-Man: Homecoming together. Favreau reminded the actress of the scene they did together and Paltrow was hilariously shocked.

Holland, 23, came through his response on the matter jokingly responded to Paltrow's confusion whilst in attendance a trivia game on PopSugar alongside 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
Holland joked,
"I mean, I've only worked with Gwyneth one time, on Spider-Man: Homecoming, which she doesn't remember. Which still to this day breaks my heart,"
Emphasizing on her credits in the movie, she only appears in the frames with a short cameo in the film in a scene at the near end of the film where she arranges a press conference for the deceleration that Spider-Man as the newest addition to the Avengers.
As a matter of fact, even Holland himself went through a memory lapse while responding to Paltro's comment, as the two actors have actually shared credits in two films together, not just one as Holland remembered.
He eventually realized,
"No, actually no, that's not true, One time when we were shooting [Avengers] Endgame, she was in her blue suit, and I was in my Spider-Man suit."
He also remisished the instance when Palthrow came up and she asked the Spidey-star for a photo with Robert Downey Jr. To add up, the actor also remembered that she posted it and captioned it 'Robert Downey Jr. and myself and this guy.' I was just the guy. It was cute."


Establishing your site as an IIT powerhouse can be an incredibly lucrative way for the administration to show support for their PIs' initiatives and interests. Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs) have seen an increased interest within the clinical research field. Both industry sponsors and investigators are recognizing these undertakings as important investments and are collaborating to maximize resources. Research offices are doing their best to support these efforts, but are often unfamiliar with IIT's, since industry sponsors and outside government agencies usually manage those trials. This can lead to mistakes during the initial development and startup stages, causing compliance and financial ramifications. But with the right administrative techniques and awareness of outside funding, IITs can be financially profitable.
Determining the intent of a trial and accurately stating that intent in the protocols objective statement is a critical preliminary step in defining your billing strategy. Is your trial interventional where patients will be purposefully assigned to treatment groups, or are you simply collecting data from procedures and services performed as part of routine care outside the trial? Knowing the PIs intent for a study will determine if you should be billed under the clinical trial policy. Determining this correctly at the start of a trial will help save both time and money in the process.
Many large pharmaceutical companies' partner with researchers in both the academic arena and with community practices interested in conducting their own studies. To supplement their own research, these large companies agree to offer financial support and/or drug provisions to make IITs possible. These companies are looking for novel ideas based on good science that is clinically applicable. Keep in mind that sponsor-type responsibilities will still need to be maintained by the site and will not become the responsibility of the pharmaceutical companies.
Does your IIT qualify for Medicare?
If your IIT achieves Medicare qualifying status, your site will be able to bill for trial procedures under Medicare's Clinical Trial Policy (NCD310.1) and potentially receive more comprehensive reimbursement. Your trial must be approved for an Investigation New Drug (IND) number, an IND exemption, or be financially supported by an approved government agency in order to achieve this status. It is highly recommended that research office administrators educate their PIs often and early about IND submission procedures. Doing so can avoid financial pitfalls down the road. If your IIT qualifies for Medicare, a CTMS can be helpful for billing and compliance issues.
What is the Effect of Non-Billable Determinations?
Once these preliminary status determinations are made, it's time to assess the financial impact of the study on research department funds. A two-step financial analysis will predict the research fund expenses while explaining to the PI and staff why certain services cannot be billed, and establish total research expenses through an internal budget build. This will enable a site to determine what the total cost to the research department will be and if the study is financially feasible.
IITs can be incredibly rewarding. Industry sponsors are looking to partner with sites in the IIT sector in order to appear transparent with their intent and to increase product exposure to prescribers. But, the rewards of IITs can only come about if there is a solid understanding of the administrative processes that are required to take on these studies.


The impressive tower ruins of Vire's Redoubt in Normandy, France.
In 1123, Henri I Beauclerc, King of England and Duke of Normandy, had a redoubt constructed on a rocky hill top, which was surrounded by the Vire river.
A redoubt is a fort, consisting of an enclosed defensive emplacement outside a larger fort, usually relying on earthworks. Some –like this one– are constructed of stone or brick.
It is meant to protect soldiers outside the main defensive line and can be a permanent structure or a hastily constructed temporary fortification. The word means "a place of retreat". Redoubts were a component of the military strategies of most European empires during the colonial era, especially in the outer works of Vauban-style fortresses made popular during the 17th century, although the concept of redoubts has existed since medieval times.

Apache DBD API: a MySQL driver for mod_apr_dbd is not included in the official distribution, but can be obtained seperately from here. Some distributions (e.g. openSUSE) actually provide installable packages of this driver module.
GRASS MySQL driver: The MySQL database driver in GRASS enables GRASS applications to store vector attributes in a MySQL server. Alternatively, data can be stored in an embedded version of the MySQL Server.
HDBC: HDBC provides an abstraction layer between Haskell programs and SQL relational databases. This lets you write database code once, in Haskell, and have it work with any number of backend SQL databases.
libdrizzle: This is the client and protocol library for Drizzle and MySQL that provides both client and server interfaces. A number of APIs (e.g. Java, Lua, Perl and Ruby as well as Python) have been built on top of it, but I'm not quite sure if they all support the MySQL client/server protocol as well.
MySQL Connector/Python: MySQL Connector/Python is implementing the MySQL Client/Server protocol completely in Python. This means you don't have to compile anything - the MySQL client library doesn't even have to be installed on your system.
Do you know of any other MySQL Connectors/APIs? Let me know!
Version 1.0.3-alpha of the MySQL Connector/C++ has just been announced by Lawrin Novitsky and is now available for download. This driver is licensed under the GPL and is a new implementation of the MySQL Client/Server protocol. Instead of wrapping the C API calls in C++ methods, the implementation mimics the JDBC API, which hopefully feels much more "native" to a seasoned C++ developer.
The driver has been ported to a wide range of platforms and is about to hit the beta test phase. So if you're writing a C++ application that needs to connect to a MySQL Server, give it a try! The developers are always looking for feedback.
More information and examples on how to use it can be found on this detailed Wiki page on the MySQL Forge.

2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Round 2: Japan fixtures, opponents revealed
Japan have known their pathway to Qatar 2022 after the second round draw for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFC Asian Cup Joint-Qualifiers was held at the AFC House in Malaysia on Wednesday.
The Samurai Blue coached by former Japan international Hajime Moriyasu are as always one of the strong favourites to make it to the World Cup finals from Asia and have been pitted in Group F where they will be joined by Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Myanmar and Mongolia.
Japan had reached the Round of 16 of the 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Russia last year only to lose out narrowly to Belgium 3-2 in the dying minutes of the game at the Rostov Arena.
The draw pitted 40 nations, including Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Singapore and Indonesia from the ASEAN region, who were drawn into eight groups of five teams each.
While Vietnam were the highest-ranked ASEAN side in the draw in Pot 2, Thailand and Philippines were in Pot 3. Malaysia and Myanmar were in Pot 4 while Cambodia, Singapore and Indonesia found themselves among the lowest-ranked sides of Asia in Pot 5.
Japan fixtures in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
