One in every 44 Scotrail services was fully or partially cancelled last year
More than 17,000 services were fully or partially cancelled, new figures reveal
Alice Cachia
We're looking at Scotrail issues this week
One in every 44 Scotrail train services was fully or partially cancelled last year.
Analysis of figures from the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) show that 758,709 passenger train services were scheduled in 2017/18.
Some 17,273 of those were fully or partially cancelled, the data shows. That works out as one in every 44 services that were cancelled.
The ORR defines a "full" cancellation as happening when a train either never starts its journey, or stops before it gets halfway.
Delays, high prices and stranded passengers: why we're calling time on Scotrail's failures
A "partial" cancellation happens when a train stops after covering more than half its journey, or misses out one or more stops.
The ORR data shows Govia Thameslink had the worst rate of cancellations in the UK.
The franchise, which provides services across London, Cambridge, Brighton and Sevenoaks, saw one in every 23 of its planned 1.1 million passenger train journeys fully or partially cancelled.
At the other end of the spectrum was Chiltern Railways.
Just one in every 83 passenger train services was cancelled across the network in 2017/18. There are 23 franchised train operators running on the UK's railway system, which was privatised between 1994 and 1997.
Scotrail accused of "Scrooge-like" behaviour over cancellation of Kids Go Free scheme
It means operators can set their own fares without government regulation. Train cancellations may often be beyond operators' control, and could also be caused by infrastructure faults, severe weather, or trespassers.
The situation for Scotrail is worse than the national average.
There were 7.3 million scheduled passenger train services that should have run in 2017/18 – but 188,616 were fully or partially cancelled, or didn't call at all their planned stops.
That works out as one in every 39 passenger train services that were cancelled. It is a rate that has worsened over time.
A petition called "End Scotfail" has been launched to try to get the trains re-nationalised
Modern records go back as far as 2014/15, when one in every 55 train services across the UK was cancelled.
Most – but not all – train companies operate a system known as "delay repay", which means that passengers can get part or all of the money spent on their ticket refunded depending on if their train was cancelled or significantly delayed.
Most of the 23 train operators in the UK – including ScotRail – are signed up to the scheme.

dwb is another webkit-browser similar to vimprobable written in C.
Please don't post bugreports for dwb on the bbs, dwb has a bugtracker.
I assume this is your project?
For me dwb dies with a " segmentation fault (core dumped) dwb" every time i press backspace in the commandline (like when o for opening a url).
Actually, even without being in the commandline, pressing backspace kills it all the time.
I don't have time for more testing right now though.
This doesn't happen with me.
One question: Is it possible to open links in a new instance of dwb?
I cannot reproduce this. dwb is currently in an early state, so it is far away from being "stable".
This is not possbible and i am not sure if i implement it, since i don't need this feature.
in uzbl, we have something similar: a split-windows branch which splits the window in two.
maybe it would be better to use that code as a starting point. that is, if you like the other implementation details in uzbl.
Well, there is this thing that my netbook-keyboard once got to 'drink some coffee' (wasn't my fault) and since then a few keys do not work as intended anymore. One of which was that the backspace key was 'fused' with the delete key, so pressing backspace produced a backspace and a delete signal. So i disabled delete with xmodmap. Dunno, maybe that is the reason for it if nobody else experiences that.
For the same purpose, I can use uzbl and a tiling window manager.
Ok, i just added this feature. Pressing "w" will open the next opened link in a new window.
Although I still prefer Opera.

** Message: console message: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl @21: TypeError: Result of expression 'e' [http://www.google.com/local/add?hl=en&gl=us] is not a function.
but those don't look related, as this happened on other combinations of pages as well.
Right now the keyboard commands only work for maybe two to three pages, then all I can use on the keyboard is arrow keys and spacebar....all the other keyboard commands stop working.
Should be fixed now, testers welcome.
First. Thanks for making dwb. It makes a great replacement of vimperator.
-- cookies are not set.
dwb doesn't seem to set cookie (with or without cookies.allow file).
-- If url of search engine contains '%', they will not work.
typed, the remaining characters will be 'evaluate' after the link is loaded.
pressed but doesn't trigger a command.
-- Having a way to know to which url a link points to.
Can you give an example? I haven't noticed it yet.
* lock all commands until the new page is loaded (won't work if one types too slow or the page loads too fast).
* Only follow a link after pressing return.
Fixed, but not committed yet.
readline shortcuts, maybe i implement both.
-- Proxy support (maybe it already exists?).
This will allow usage of proxy for blocking ads.
For example, the wikipedia search url contains a '%'.
Iirc, vimperator use a short timer during which all commands are disabled.
I thought about implementing vi-shortcuts in textfields, i never used the readline shortcuts, maybe i implement both.
Readline shortcut however, would be useful in dwb 'command line'.
Using dwb as my main browser, I enjoy surfing the web with it. It is fast and it starts as fast as a terminal window (which is fast . Coming from vimperator but looking for a lightweight alternative, I was afraid that I would missed some of its functionality but it's not the case, though a command to cycle focus backward and another one to undo the closing of a view would be useful. Oh and maybe a way to copy the url of a link without having to reach for the mouse.
Cool browser. for me it is a bit of a learning curve comming from firefox. Whenever I put something into the url that is not a .com or something it crashes. For example, i press 'o' and type servu (the specified name of another computer on my network in my hosts file), then it crashes. It does work if I type in the ip though. Here is the output.
p.s. under synopsis in the manual is says dwm instead of dwb.
Fixed in the current revision, but you should add a searchengine and restart dwb (the first entry in ~/.conifg/dwb will be used as the default searchengine) or dwb will only load valid urls.
Would be great if anyone could write an appropriate man-page (my english is too bad).
In Hintmode the active url now is shown. Links are now also shown, if the mouse pointer is over a link.
1. Can we get an option to replace the link-follow numbers with letter combinations (like vimium for chrome does), and perhaps an option to select if we prefer having the links on the right or left side of the link?
2. Link follow isn't finding select/submit buttons, drop-down menu boxes, text boxes or text areas.
4. Google Reader seems to render very slowly compared to other browsers, even on a fairly fast machine. When running in 'Insert' mode on that page to use the built-in Reader shortcuts, it periodically kicks back to Normal mode without any warning. I wonder if some even in loading one of the articles sends a signal that cancels Insert mode.
5. Maybe have an option for a 'Monocle' mode by default where new views are maximized and a small count of available views is put up in the top info (status?) bar someplace.
7. 'M' to bookmark a page, but how to view bookmarks, other than opening the file in .config/dwb ?
8. Will dwb work with a SOCKS proxy server like chromium or firefox? It works fine with tsocks, so this isn't a big deal.
9. dwb doesn't open the localhost:631 cups page -- doesn't do anything, actually.
Again, great work -- it's incredibly fast (all but Google Reader ) !!!
1+2: I will reimplement hintmode when i find time.
4. I have no google-account, so i cannot test it. Have you tried other webkit-browser with Google Reader?
5. Im implementing an optional tabbar for monocle layout at the moment.
7. bookmarks currently only can be opened via tabcompletion.
5. Maximized layout can now be set as default.
Added optional tabs in Monocle-Layout.
Bookmarks can be shown and opened by pressing "sb" now. The Browsing history now also can be shown ("sh").
1. I'm getting some weird behaviors with the tabbed/monocle mode. Not sure if it's me, or if you're still working out the bugs. Difference between Focus and CycleFocus isn't clear to me. It's almost there!
2. When I have separate instances open, it seems like one will always segfault after a short time. One time, it just got reallllly slow, then the screen wouldn't refresh, then it died.
3. Is the filetype opener based on mime-type, or extension or ??? I'm trying to set a *.ica file (which is small text file downloaded to be used when launching a Citrix session) to open with a certain program, but dwb doesn't seem to recognize that filetype.
4. Still would like to see the page scroll location retained when switching views.
1. This weird behaviour is intended . In Monocle Layout CycleFocus shows the tiled views if a tiled view has the focus, if the view on the master area has the focus, the tiled views are hidden. Focus pushes the focused view to the master area or the first tiled view, if the master view has focus. Focus can also be combined with a number (e.g. "3space" pushes view 3 to the master area).
2. Does this only happen when you open a new instance from a dwbsession?
3. The filetype opener is based on extension, but only works if the mimetype cannot be shown by webkit (should be reimplemented).
4. Implemented for the master area in the current revision, i think there is no need to remember the tiled position.
Edit: 1. Maybe i change the behaviour in Monocle Layout to dwm-like behaviour, but i will test it a few days.
1. Yeah, I'd like a very simple behavior -- keep the tab bar and just be able to cycle through the maximized (monocle) views with space (or tab or...). Some suckless people might argue that you went too far with doing the tiling within the browser....but the rest of dwb works so well that it doesn't bother me in the least I'd just like to be able to turn off the tiling if I want to.
2. The crashes happen when I launch a completely new instance of dwb -- having multiple views within one instance works great....multiple instances with one or more views each will crash.
edit: Also, getting a segfault when I open more than two views and cycle between them several times. Sometimes it dies immediately, sometimes it will start skipping one of the views, but in both cases it dies fairly quickly.
edit2: Ok, I guess these crashes only happen when I have the Lifehacker.com page opened -- not sure then if it's a flash issue or because it's just a big page!
edit3: Wow -- it doesn't like gmail! The site works fine...until you try to open a different view and switch back and forth -- instant crash. I know you don't have a google account, but enough people use their sites, it might be worthwhile for you to get one as a testbed site.
perhaps this is intended but I am curious why no window manager will produce decoration for this program. I've tried fluxbox, gnome, awesome3, and wmii. Ironically, it is most problematic in wmii as it disables tiling and stacking mode if opened first.

Q: How do i add some data to a mysql resultset? As the first comment suggested, i'm gonna try to simplify my question:
I got this table:
  `id` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
  `name` VARCHAR( 60 ) NOT NULL ,
  `address` VARCHAR( 80 ) NOT NULL ,
  `coords` SPATIAL NOT NULL ,
  `qual` INT(3) NOT NULL;

I got this data:
Pan Africa Market, Seattle, 47.608941 -122.340145,-65
Buddha Thai & Bar, Seattle, 47.613591 -122.344394,-30
The Melting Pot, Seattle, 47.624562 -122.356442,-75
Ipanema Grill, Seattle, 47.606366 -122.337656,-90
Sake House, Seattle, 47.612820 -122.34567,-69
Crab Pot, Seattle, 47.605961 -122.34036,-70
Mama Mexican Kitchen, Seattle, 47.613975 -122.345467,-44
Wingdome, Seattle, 47.617215 -122.326584,-57
Piroshky Piroshky, Seattle, 47.610127 -122.342838,-100

How make a sql query for MariaDB or MySQL that selects all fields and every data inside a polygon and creates a new column in the resulset like this:
<name="Pan Africa Market" address="Seattle" coords="47.608941 -122.340141" qual="-65" icon="3"/>

with this conditions:
if qual>-10 then new column = 0,
if -10>qual>-30 then icon = 1,
if -30>qual>-50 then icon = 2,
if -50>qual>-70 then icon = 3,
if -70>qual>-90 then icon = 4,
if -90>qual then new icon = 5

A: You can use a Case statment to do this. I believe the following statement should get you a column like you're looking for (you can just append everything between the select and from to the rest of the columns you specify in your resultset).
SELECT (CASE WHEN (`qual` > -10) THEN 0
WHEN (`qual` < -10 && `qual` > -30) THEN 1
WHEN (`qual` < -30 && `qual` > -50) THEN 2
WHEN (`qual` < -50 && `qual` > -70) THEN 3
WHEN (`qual` < -70 && `qual` > -90) THEN 4
WHEN (`qual` < -90) THEN 5 END) AS icon
FROM tablename

Apologies if the syntax isn't quite right since I spend most of my time in T-SQL, but that should work. Here's the resource for CASE if you need to tweak it a bit: MySQL: Case

As the United website moves forward (or at least changes; I'm not convinced it is necessarily moving forward) so must some of the many tools I've built to help travelers get the most out of their United experience. The first completed step in that process is an update to the add-on which aids in finding fares eligible for Global Premier Upgrades (GPUs) on long-haul trips.
The gist of it is relatively simple: Only certain fare buckets are eligible for such upgrades and remembering the list is annoying. So is typing it in. The old version had the list always in the box and users would just click on a radio button to activate the function. The new version of the site operates a bit differently and therefore the add-in does, too. Just below the text box for Fare Buckets on the new Advanced Search page is an icon and a text link. Click on them and the text box gets filled with the correct text to search for GPU-eligible fares. Just like before it will put in different text depending on whether you are searching for an upgrade from economy to business or from business to first.
The search results are also slightly different, and in a good way, I think. The new grid layout has plenty of things I like and plenty I hate but in this case it is mostly something I like. You will now see the cheapest economy fare, the requested fare and the cheapest business class fare for your requested itinerary.
In this particular case I can see that playing the "W fare lottery" is a relatively inexpensive game. That won't always be the case, obviously, but it is here.
The code should work for all the regional language options of the new United site and still supports the legacy version of the site for folks who, like me, are not too keen on switching to the new version quite yet.

Bermuda and religion
By Josh Ball June 20, 2017
The role religion plays in society is not always a straight forward one, and the uneasy relationship between those that believe and those that do not seems no more evident than at present where, anecdotally at least, the divide between the two appears to be growing on an almost daily basis.
A National Geographic study published this year found that atheism was the largest growing 'faith group' in the world. Secularism is on the rise to such an extent that Britain and Australia are soon likely to join France, the Netherlands, and New Zealand as the countries with larger populations of atheists than any religious groups.
Meanwhile, a survey by the Pew Research Center said that 3.1 per cent of the American population, up from 1.6 per cent, identified as atheist, although of that number two per cent still believed in a God or spiritual being. That position is largely incompatible with being an atheist, as the very definition of that belief is "a person who believes that God does not exist".
Perhaps more telling, however, were the 8.8 per cent of those questioned in the Religious Landscape Study who said that religion was "not important" in their daily lives, up from the 6.3 per cent who said the same thing in the previous survey in 2007.
And yet, when disaster strikes as it did in the form of Hurricane Matthew in Haiti in October, or when a family is grieving for the death of a loved one, the call to "pray" for those in distress is almost universal.
"I would say that religion has always been important," the Most Reverand Wiesław Spiewak, the Roman Catholic Bishop for Bermuda, said. "From the beginning there was always a kind of reverence to the being which was, somehow, above us. It could be nature, it could be different figures; it was changing, developing, depending on the culture of the people.
"I believe that the man and woman of the 21st century are not so "civilised" as they do not have God any more. It has not changed because it is something inside of us. It is true that looking at today's so-called first world it could seem that religion is somehow losing its necessity, it's losing its base.
"I'm usually not one for watching television. I was watching the situation in Baton Rouge in the United States where a Polish man had been killed, and in a society where we try and be politically correct, and try to avoid the topic of religion, even in our terminology, I heard the chief of police saying that in this moment 'the only thing we can do is pray for the victims and their families'.
"We can try to be politically correct, but at a certain point I still believe there is something in us that pushes us to this spiritual and religious dimension. I believe it's going to be still one of the characteristics of the human being."
The importance of religion in that sense, in serving people's spiritual and emotional wellbeing, is less contentious than the discord that occurs when some members of society object to religion playing a part in shaping the laws that govern them.
I wouldn't say that religion has promoted the social progress of mankind. I say that it has been a detriment to the progress of civilization.
While certain behaviour is always likely to be viewed as morally reprehensible the attitudes of today say that homosexuality, for example, once punishable by prison or chemical castration, is no longer viewed in such a way in the Western world.
Similarly, being the child of an unwed mother used to carry a certain stigma. That has now changed, which might be considered fortunate for some. So too divorce, and to a certain extent adultery, neither of which are as frowned upon as they once were. For better or worse there are websites devoted to facilitating both.
Some might point to these things as clear evidence of religion's waning influence on society, and bemoan the progress of civilisation. Others, such as Culbert Olson have taken a different view.
A fervent atheist before it was cool to be one, Olson refused to say "so help me God" when taking his oath of office as governor of California in 1939, and reportedly told Supreme Court Justice William H Waste, who oversaw the ceremony that "God couldn't help me at all, and that there isn't any such person".
Olson's politics were decidedly progressive for the time and he battled with the Roman Catholic Church on several occasions, as well as conservative Republicans, during his time as Governor.
"I wouldn't say that religion has promoted the social progress of mankind," Olson said in 1961. "I say that it has been a detriment to the progress of civilisation, and I would also say this: that the emancipation of the mind from religious superstition is as essential to the progress of civilisation as is emancipation from physical slavery."
In reality, however, it is almost impossible to separate religion from society. Those that believe in some form of God are supposedly guided in their everyday lives by those beliefs, to suspend part of themselves while being part of society would be akin to asking Olson to open his mind to the possibility that there is a God.
"We are whole people, if we want the best of the community we want the whole person engaged in it. If part of my world view is a religious one, and that informs every decision I make, I can't suspend all of that," the Right Reverend Nicholas Dill, the Anglican Bishop of Bermuda, said.
"Atheism requires you to not believe and therefore are we all to become atheists in order to have a society that functions properly? No. We are a democracy, and one of the benefits of a democracy is that every voice, technically, is supposed to have some sort of impact."
However, the strength of the religious voice, in Bermuda particularly, has often drowned out those of a non-religious persuasion, and there is a belief, fair or not, that the island's politicians are unduly influenced by religion, of varying denominations, when it comes to shaping, and passing the island's laws. Laws that govern a society of people who do not all believe the same thing.
The common complaint in this instance has often been that the Church wields too much power over the State and that there should be some separation between the two.
"Thomas Jefferson, when he was first espousing the idea [of the separation of Church and State] was speaking about it in a completely different way to the way it is now being applied," Bishop Dill said.
"His view was the state should have nothing to say about the belief of the people, protecting the people from invasion by the state into their religious life. It wasn't protecting the state from invasion by religion."
Bishop Spiewak takes a different view, perhaps cognisant of the role the Roman Catholic Church as an institution has played in influencing society in the past.
"I don't want that the institution of the church would become too influential on the life of society," he said. "Religion should influence the human choices, but it should not be influencing the laws. The laws are to be made by the politicians, and it is up to them, they were elected, they are paid to do this.
"Religion can express its concern or vision, but it is not up to religion to decide about the laws of the country. I withdrew from the Preserve Marriage group because it became too political, this is not the way I would like to be involved with my community."
You have people claiming 'human rights' over and against anything, but it always ends up being 'my right'. It's not about humanity as a whole.
Of course, the Church and religion are also two separate entities. The word religion comes from the Latin word religio, and is connected to a person's own individual relationship with God. The rebelling against organised religion and the Church in modern society is an indictment on those institutions, not necessarily religion itself.
"We went through the postmodern stage and now we're at the post-post-modern stage. In that whole thing, the rejection of authority figures, the rejection of those who seem to have a meta-narrative about the way the world is. I think there has been an erosion of confidence in institutions that have been around for a long time," Bishop Dill said.
"They do a survey every year in England on who do you trust most, and people trust their hairdresser more than they trust their local politician, and probably now more than they trust their local priest. Which is a sad state of affairs, but there is no doubt that the Church is just a mess, but we should expect nothing less because it is just a collection of saints who are sinners — and sometimes it is hard to work out which is which."
The irony is that churches of every denomination are active in their local communities doing things that Governments and 'society' do not.
"Churches are actively involved in the lives of people in the way a Government can never be involved," Bishop Dill said. "They are there for the long haul. If the Church wasn't doing what it was doing, who would feed the poor, who would visit those in hospital, who would be running the kids clubs that happen every week, who would go and see people in the old folk's homes.
"Governments are happy when churches are doing the social action stuff, but are quiet on other things. Dom Helder Camara, a Brazilian archbishop, put it best: 'When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist'."
Still, religion, and what it means to believe, the sacrifices required and demands made are not necessarily compatible with the morals of today, or the way people chose to live their lives.
Thatcher's children in Britain, and the Regan generation in the United States were taught that the avaricious accumulation of wealth and material goods was to be worshipped above all else. As Michael Douglas's character in Wall Street so eloquently put it, "greed is good".
Much like peace and love defined the baby boomers, those three words in the Eighties have defined a generation who are the leaders of today and tomorrow.
"There will always be conflicts, but this, without being judgmental, is a bit of a phenomenon of our times, we became gods for ourselves, in our own world," Bishop Spiewak said. "I, ego, became so important that, to this ego everyone and everything has somehow to be subjected, which is not helping; in any dimension."
As religion carries over into society, so too does that selfishness. And the clash between the two was no more apparent than earlier this year in Bermuda, where an inability to listen to one another's views created accusations of hate and bigotry on both sides.
"You have people claiming 'human rights' over and against anything, but it always ends up being 'my right'. It's not about humanity as a whole, it's not about the society in which we live, it's about what I want for me, and that's my right," Bishop Dill said.
"That's not necessarily where the human rights have evolved from. They need to be true for everybody, they can't just be true for one person and not for another. It's a complicated situation, to come back to people and say 'where does this come from, where's it going, what is the natural outcome of what you're thinking' and to get people to think, but we don't do much of that these days. And that's the problem."
It did not help in this situation that society in other parts of the world is ready to move on, and Bermuda as a melting pot of all different faiths, experiences, colours and creeds is still coming to terms with its place in the 21st century.
"It's wonderful to have the mixture of ideas and not to be threatened by other people's ways of thinking. The problem is we always want people like us, we feel safest and secure together. For those that are more conservative, these things are seen as a threat, and for those that have had this experience everything else is seen as ridiculous and old fashioned," Bishop Dill said.
"We are very quick to label people who disagree with us as bigots, just because we don't like what they have to say. And I think that is unfair because you have not stopped to find out why it is they think what they are saying. It is just easy to call someone a hater or a bigot because it means you are demonising them, but the whole process of communication is not about demonising someone, it is about humanising the person so you can look eye-to-eye and can understand each other.
"Nobody has a right to tell anybody who to love, but it is how is that love then protected."
The lack of communication has not been helped by the misrepresentation of the Bible, a symptom of a "soundbite" generation who want everything laid out simply and in manageable pieces, while also conforming to their views of the world, whatever that may be.
"It is always a question of how do we want to interpret the words of Jesus. If we got to the point that we recognise Him as the Son of God, the Messiah, if he really comes from the real God, who is eternal, then His words are not temporal, they are eternal," Bishop Spiewak said.
"There are too many words that were put into the mouth of Jesus by history, by the people in history. This is the difficulty that we are facing. The teaching of Jesus is mainly the revelation of the Father who wants the salvation of every human person, and the salvation of every human person is the most important thing for God, not the condemnation.
"The question then becomes what we humans do with the Word of God, the word of Jesus. And I believe it is here, quite often, we go too far."
As Bishop Dill puts it, you can get the Bible to say "whatever you want, a cut and paste method of theology.
"You have to be careful with the way you use the Scriptures, and to have an understanding of the whole and where we fit in all of that.
"It is not a simple matter of that's what it [the Bible] says so this is what it means. Although there are some places where it is quite straight forward and unambiguous, and I think it was Mark Twain that once said 'it's not the parts of scripture that I don't understand that worry me, it's the parts I do understand'.
"Sometimes we just want all the nice bits."

Book excerpt: Howard Stern on how therapy changed him
May 10, 2019 / 2:54 PM / CBS News
In "Howard Stern Comes Again" (to be published May 14 by Simon & Schuster, a division of CBS), SiriusXM satellite radio host Howard Stern writes about his broadcasting career, his roster of notable interviews, and his experience with psychotherapy, which he describes as life-changing.
In the excerpt below, Stern explains what it took for him to learn to treat his celebrity guests as collaborators in an interview rather than as foils for his on-air antics.
Don't miss Tracy Smith's in-depth interview with Howard Stern on "CBS Sunday Morning" May 12!
I'm not proud of my first two books. I don't even have them displayed on my bookshelf at home. I think of them, and of the interviews I did with my guests during those first couple decades of my career, and I cringe. I was an absolute maniac. My narcissism was so strong that I was incapable of appreciating what somebody else might be feeling.
I have so many regrets about guests from that time. I asked Gilda Radner if Gene Wilder had a big penis. Great question. Drove her right out the door. George Michael's band Wham! Everyone I worked with said, "Whatever you do, don't ask them if they're gay. Do not ask them if they're gay." Within twenty seconds, I asked them if they were gay. Eminem came on the show once then never again. Same with Will Ferrell.
Possibly my biggest regret was my interview with Robin Williams. When Robin came on the show in the early nineties, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me. Years later, I realized I finally needed to apologize. I had already done this with some other people. I called them and tried to make amends. Some were gracious. A radio guy I had been awful to said, "You know what, man? I'm so glad you called. I actually felt bad for you that you were carrying around so much bitterness and ugliness inside, and I'm happy you don't have that anymore." Others were angry. A famous comedian I had bashed said to me, "I appreciate that you called, but I don't know if I could ever forgive you. I had to go through a lot of misery, because your fans were brutal." I didn't know what Robin's reaction would be. He could have hung up on me. He could have cursed me out. I had to do it.
It took me twenty years to work up the nerve. I was in the midst of tracking down his phone number, and the next day he died. I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner.
Telling Carly Simon how hot she was for a half-hour or spewing sex questions to Wilmer Valderrama – this ultimately led to nothing. It wasn't good radio. It was meaningless. It was just me being self-absorbed and compulsive about asking something that would provoke and antagonize. Those weren't really interviews. They were monologues. Instead of a conversation, it was just me blurting out ridiculous things. I had some real issues.
Then I started going to a psychotherapist.
This was in the late nineties. I had no idea how therapy worked. The only thing I knew about it was what I saw in movies and on television, where people would just sit there and tell stories. So that's what I did. My first session, I sat down in the chair and began telling the therapist anecdotes as if I was on the radio. I hit him with all my favorite routines. I did a thorough and involved set on the Stern family tree, complete with impressions of my family. I put together a few minutes on marriage, then moved into the pressures of the radio business, and closed with the trials and tribulations of raising a family.
After I was finished with my stand-up, the therapist instead of applauding said, "There's nothing funny going on here. Quite frankly, some of this stuff sounds pretty sad." My first response was to get defensive. Who was he to say that? I could tell that story and laugh. I had done it many times. Gradually, after a few more sessions, I realized he was right. He was the first person who ever said to me, "I take you seriously." I had always been hungry for someone to confide in like that, but I had pushed away my hunger. That's often what people who are traumatized do. In order to protect themselves, they act like nobody else matters. They tell themselves they don't need anyone.
The irony is that I've always had an appreciation for others in my work. Yes, it's called "The Howard Stern Show," but I'm at my best when I have a bunch of people around me, when I can call on them and collaborate. Whether it's my co-host, Robin Quivers, or my producer Gary Dell'Abate or our jack-of-all-trades (sound effects, impressions, and so much more) Fred Norris; the staff of incredible writers and brilliant engineers; my front office, including chief operating officer Marci Turk and senior vice president Jeremy Coleman; my agent, Don Buchwald, and my executive assistant, Laura Federici; my bosses and the sales department at SiriusXM – I consider everyone a part of the team. What we do is like music, in a way. It's like a symphony. That is truly how I've always seen myself: as an orchestra conductor.
Yet that generosity of spirit didn't extend to my guests. I should have treated them as talented soloists and welcomed them to join in our performance. I was just too afraid that the audience would be bored when they didn't get their fix of outrageousness – as if some quiet notes would have destroyed the concerto. Everything had to be one loud, crashing crescendo.
Initially, I went to therapy twice a week. Then the therapist had me up it to three times. Eventually he recommended I make it four. I thought, "Man, I didn't know I was that screwed up." I was reluctant to make such a big commitment, but I did it. I completely gave myself over to the process.
The more I went, the more that translated into how I interviewed my guests. I found myself changing my approach because I had experienced what it was like to have someone genuinely interested in my life. Therapy opened me up and enabled me to appreciate how fulfilling it was to be truly heard. That led me to the thought: "You know, somebody else might actually have something to say. Let's just sit here and listen and not make it all about you."
At first, not making it about me was difficult. I had to learn to say no to myself. Stop talking. Start listening. Let someone else shine and have a moment. Trust that the audience will remain there.

Reducing the Hurdles for Complex Generic Drug Development
By: Scott Gottlieb, M.D.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, MD
Earlier this year, I announced our Drug Competition Action Plan to advance new policies aimed at bringing more competition to the drug market. My goal was to improve access consumers have to the medicines that they need. I consider access to medicine a matter of public health. If consumers are priced out of the drugs they need, that's a public health concern that FDA should address, within the scope of its mandate and authorities.
While FDA doesn't control drug pricing, our policies do affect competition in the market. This is the nexus of our current efforts on drug pricing.
Our plan has a number of different domains. Among them is a compilation of efforts to improve the efficiency of the generic drug approval process; and another is a group of policies aimed at closing loopholes that allow branded drug companies to game our rules in ways that forestall the generic competition that Congress intended. One important group of policies is aimed at making it easier to bring generic competition to a category of branded drugs known as complex drugs. Today we're announcing a major new set of policies to advance these goals.
Complex drugs comprise high cost medicines like metered dose inhalers used to treat asthma, as well as some costly injectable drugs. These medicines generally have at least one feature that makes them harder to "genericize" under our traditional approaches. As a consequence, these drugs can face less competition. In some cases, costly, branded drugs that are complex drugs have lost their exclusivity, but are subject to no generic competition.
The new policies we're announcing today are aimed at ensuring that we provide as much scientific and regulatory clarity as possible with respect to complex generic drugs. This focus is critical because, first and foremost, these drug products provide important therapies to patients. They are also becoming increasingly significant to the economic health of the generic drug industry. Being able to "genericize" a complex drug can be a high-value opportunity for a generic drug maker that helps underwrite the costs of other generic applications. In other words, because brand-name versions of complex drug products are often higher-priced than many other brand name drugs, any steps we can take to encourage the development of generic competitors to complex drugs will have an outsized impact on access, and prices.
When considering the scope of complex drugs, people often first think of drug products where the active ingredient itself is complex. Glatiramer acetate injection, a drug used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis, is a good example. However, the terms "complex drug product" and "complex generic drug" are used to refer to a much larger and diverse group of drug products. In addition to drug products with complex active ingredients, or sites of action, complex drug products also include complex drug-device combination products.
Together, this diverse collection of drug products has one or more elements that are more complex than an average drug product. This complexity, in turn, means that the scientific and regulatory pathways for approval of generic versions of these drug products are not as well traveled by generic drug developers. In some cases, use of another established regulatory pathway may be appropriate to streamline development.
We're undertaking a number of efforts to ensure that the pathways for approval for generic versions of complex drug products are as efficient as possible, including a number of new steps that I'm announcing today and others that we'll be working on in the coming months.
We know that our regulatory requirements impact both the direct and indirect costs of drug development. These include costs associated with the time it takes to develop a drug and gain its regulatory approval, as well as those associated with the research and development of experimental products that ultimately do not make it to market.
Manufacturers of complex generic drugs face a number of challenges in developing their products and demonstrating that their products meet the approval requirements for generic drug applications (abbreviated new drug applications or ANDAs), including establishing that they are bioequivalent to and have the same active ingredient as the brand-name drug.
Bioequivalence for complex generic drugs can be challenging with complex drug products that can't be easily measured in the blood, or when the drug's therapeutic effect is delivered locally to a particular organ, rather than systemically, through the bloodstream. In other instances, showing active ingredient sameness can be challenging when the drug product contains an active mixture of components and not a single active molecule.
These challenges – and resulting regulatory uncertainties – may deter generic manufacturers from beginning development. It can mean these ANDAs undergo more review cycles than other generic drugs. These hurdles, in turn, may result in limited competition and higher prices.
We recognize these problems and are taking a number of new steps to support the development of high quality ANDAs for complex generic drugs.
First, FDA is issuing a draft guidance to assist ANDA applicants and prospective ANDA applicants in creating and submitting pre-ANDA meeting requests, including meeting package materials, so FDA can give better advice to sponsors looking to develop complex generic drugs.
The guidance provides information on requesting and conducting product development meetings, pre-submission meetings, and mid-review cycle meetings with FDA. These meetings will allow for enhanced communication between generic drug applicants and FDA early in the generic drug development process, allowing for more efficient generic drug development, review, and approval pathways. We've found from analyzing our new drug program, that early and better meetings between FDA and sponsors can improve development timelines. We want to bring these same types of opportunities to developers of complex generics.
Second, we're issuing a draft guidance to help applicants determine when submission of ANDAs for certain complex products, known as peptides, would be appropriate. Peptides are compounds made up of 40 or fewer amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. There are a number of branded medicines that are peptides, where exclusivity has lapsed, but these drugs face little or no competition. This new guidance applies to ANDAs for certain specific synthetic peptides, namely, glucagon, liraglutide, nesiritide, teriparatide, and teduglutide, that reference brand-name versions of these peptides manufactured using recombinant DNA technology.
This guidance represents how advances in regulatory science — when coupled with careful policy considerations — can enable generic drug development that was previously infeasible.
In this case, advances in technology for peptide synthesis and characterization allow an ANDA applicant for one of these products to demonstrate that its product meets the "sameness" requirements for generic drug approval. The recommendations in the new guidance will help ensure that the risk of an immune response from the generic due to differences in impurities will not differ from that of the reference drug.
We're doing all of this without sacrificing the scientific rigor of the process one bit. A central aspect of our approach, and our efforts to spur innovation and generic competition, is focused on adopting more rigorous and sophisticated science, including sophisticated quantitative methods and computational modeling, in drug development, evaluation, and review.
We'll soon release other important policies aimed at spurring competition to complex drugs. But we know that better guidance isn't the only answer. Some drugs lack generic competition because they cannot be measured through traditional in vivo bioequivalence methods and there's no efficient and convincing bioequivalence test method available.
In these instances, an applicant needs to conduct more extensive clinical endpoint testing to show bioequivalence of a generic drug to a brand-name drug. This can be burdensome and discourage generic product development. A further barrier to generic competition for certain complex drug products is the lack of established methods for showing the sameness of the active ingredient of a proposed generic drug to a brand-name drug for certain complex drugs.
Over the next year, FDA's generic drug regulatory science program will work to identify gaps in the science and develop more tools, methods, and efficient alternatives to clinical endpoint testing, where feasible. To help with this task, we're holding a series of important scientific workshops, beginning today, that will identify opportunities for complex generic drug development, discuss quantitative modeling approaches and principles and aid product-specific guidance development. The workshops will also help in the development of new analytical tools that will help overcome the unique development and regulatory challenges for demonstrating active ingredient sameness in complex products. We intend for these efforts to speed product development, reduce development costs, and improve access to these products.
Our announcements today are part of a broader effort by the administration to address the high and rising cost of drugs and in the coming months, we'll advance other policies aimed at enabling generic competition to complex drugs. Some of these will be product specific guidance documents; others will deal with more crosscutting aspects of our process. And we'll advance more new policies to help bring more competition to other aspects of the drug market. We're just getting started. Drug access is a matter of public health concern. We know that enabling more generic competition, where Congress intended, helps reduce prices, enable more access, and improve public health.

Beijing defends Huawei amid row over role in UK's 5G network
The UK should make "independent" decisions about whether to let Huawei help build its 5G network, according to China's ambassador in London.
The US, Australia and New Zealand say the Chinese firm is a security risk because of its ties to the state.
But writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Liu Xiaoming said Britain should resist pressure from other nations.
He said risks should be taken seriously but added the company had enjoyed a "good track record on security".
Last week, the Daily Telegraph reported the UK had agreed to allow Huawei limited access to help build Britain's new 5G network, amid warnings about possible risks to national security.
The paper also reported that various ministers had raised concerns about the plan.
But defending Huawei, Mr Liu said: "Countries of global influence, like the UK, make decisions independently and in accordance with their national interests.
"When it comes to the establishment of the new 5G network, the UK is in the position to do the same again by resisting pressure, working to avoid interruptions and making the right decision independently based on its national interests and in line with its need for long-term development."
Meanwhile, Britain's top civil servant has demanded ministers co-operate with his inquiry into the leaking of discussions about Huawei at the National Security Council.
Media captionFormer civil service chief describes the Huawei security leak as "outrageous"
Sir Mark Sedwill wrote to ministers on the council and their special advisers after details of the meeting appeared in the media.
Much of the attention has focused on five ministers who were said to have voiced objections to the Huawei decision – Home Secretary Sajid Javid, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson, International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt and International Trade Secretary Liam Fox.
All five, however, have either publicly denied being the guilty party or let it be known through aides that they were not responsible.
Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark, who is also the National Security Adviser, is leading the internal inquiry.

Jabel Mukaber (Arabic: جبل مكبر) (Hebrew: ג'בל מוכאבר) is a predominantly Arab neighborhood in southern East Jerusalem. It is bordered by East Talpiot[1] to the west, Abu Tor and Silwan to the north and Sur Baher to the south. Jabel Mukaber has a population of 14,000.[1]
3 Arab-Israeli conflict
4 Landmarks
According to local legend, Jabel Mukaber is named after Umar ibn al-Khattab, a disciple of Muhammad and the second caliph of the Islamic Caliphate, who cried Allahu Akbar at this site. During the Mandatory Palestine, the offices of the British High Commissioner, the representative of British imperial rule in Palestine were located in Jabel Mukaber.[2] During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood battled Jewish forces in the neighborhood.[3] Jabel Mukaber and other Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem were captured and annexed by Jordan. Since the 1967 Six-Day War, Jabel Mukaber has been under the jurisdiction of the Jerusalem Municipality.[4]
Many residents of Jabel Mukaber rejected Israeli citizenship to demonstrate their solidarity with Palestinians in the West Bank,[4] but they are considered permanent residents. As holders of blue identity cards, they have wide freedom of movement within Israel, and have access to health care, unemployment and other benefits.[4][5]
The construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier has divided Jabel Mukaber in half and left some neighborhood residents on the West Bank side of the wall, meaning that they hold orange IDs instead of blue IDs, and cannot cross into Israel itself.[6] Running through the centre of the neighbourhood, the barrier often separates members of the same family from one another, interrupting normal family life.[6] Jabel Mukaber is under-budgeted for municipal services, leading to sewage blockages in parts of the neighborhood and a shortage of classrooms.[7]
East Talpiot was established in 1970 in close proximity to Jabel Mukaber during the upswing of building that followed the Six-Day War.[5] When the Intifada (uprising) began, the mood changed. Since then, Jabel Mukaber has been the scene of numerous demonstrations, protests and riots in support of the Palestinian cause.[8][9][10]
A number of Jabel Mukaber residents have been involved in acts of anti-Israel violence, including transporting the suicide bomber in the Patt Junction Bus Bombing, opening fire on Israeli policemen,[11] and attempting to blow up gas lines in Jewish neighborhoods.[12]
The attackers in the 2008 Mercaz HaRav massacre,[13] the 2008 Jerusalem BMW attack,[14] the 2014 Jerusalem tractor attack,[15] and the 2014 Har Nof synagogue attack[16] came from Jabel Mukaber.
Following the 2008 Mercaz HaRav massacre in which eight Jewish high school students were killed, the residents of Jabel Mukaber erected a mourners' tent for the murderer.[17] Israeli protesters tried to break through police barricades outside Jabel Mukaber, resulting in the arrest of 13 protesters.[10]
On 18 November 2014, two Palestinians, cousins Uday Warsan and Rasa'an Abu-el Jamal from Jabel Mukaber, attacked a synagogue in the neighborhood of Har-Nof, killing four worshipers and a police officer and injuring several others, including police who responded to the gunfire.[18][19]
A Tolerance Monument sculpted by Czesław Dźwigaj in collaboration with Michal Kubiak is situated on a hill marking the divide between Jewish East Talpiot and Arab Jabel Mukaber, standing opposite the United Nations headquarters in Jerusalem in a park near Goldman Promenade. Unveiled in Jerusalem in 2008, it was funded by Polish businessman Aleksander Gudzowaty as a symbol to promote peace in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[20]

Presidential mandate aims to transform Egypt into a developed global logistics area: Minister
Al-Masry Al-YoumAugust 25, 2021
Egyptian Finance Minister Mohamed Maait announced Wednesday that there are presidential orders in place to speed up a modernized customs administration system project, with the ultimate aim of transforming Egypt into a developed global logistics area.
Maait explained that the project is based on the optimal use of modern technology to better utilize the nation's unique geographical location, and facilitate internal and external trade by relying on the unified electronic platform "Nafeza" (Window) to connects all ports electronically.
His statements came at a conference on the customs system for per-registration of shipments, the Advance Cargo Information (ACI), in the presence of economic and commercial attachés from various foreign embassies and representatives from the international chambers of commerce in Egypt.
The minister stressed the state's desire to create an environment conductive to stimulating investments by simplifying procedures to facilitate for the business community; and to open broad prospects to the local and foreign private sector in various sectors.
The private sector is the engine of economic development and of growth rich in job opportunities, he said, in a way that helps in optimally utilizing promising development opportunities offered by Egypt in its unprecedented giant national projects.
The minister noted that logistics centers have been established in Cairo, east and west Port Said, Port Tawfiq, Ain Sukhna, Damietta, Dekheila, and Alexandria – and thus the Nafeza platform covers 95 percent of Egypt's exports and imports.
Maait added that before the end of the year, the Nafeza platform will extend to all Egyptian ports in order to complete an integrated customs strategy system to simplify and digitize all procedures – thereby reducing the cost of the import and export process, and reducing the customs release time to less than a day.
Thus ports will become gates for transit and not storage places.
He explained that the ACI system for pre-registration of cargo shipments is part of the national project to develop the customs management system, which aims to expand the advance customs release of goods before they reach the ports and falls within an integrated system to develop Egypt's cross-border trade.

Please tell me! Galko-chan Manga to Bundle Original Anime DVD
posted on 2016-08-25 09:45 EDT by Egan Loo
December 22 bundle comes after schoolgirl comedy TV anime shorts premiered in January
Japanese online retailers are listing Kenya Suzuki's fourth Oshiete! Galko-chan (Please tell me! Galko-chan) manga in a special-edition bundle with an original anime DVD on December 22.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the original manga and plans to release the series in North America beginning on November 22. Seven Seas describes the story:
Galko-chan always speaks her mind, which may not be the wisest decision in all cases, but it's never short of entertaining! Meet the exuberant and unbelievably busty high schooler, Galko, as she traverses the ups and downs of adolescence with spirit and verve, alongside her best friends--the anti-social loner, Otako, and the unpredictably honest, Ojyo.
The television anime adaptation of the manga premiered in January, and Crunchyroll streamed the anime into several countries as it aired in Japan.
The television anime's three main cast members are, from left to right in the image to the right:
Miyu Tomita as Otako
Azumi Waki (The [email protected] Cinderella Girls' Sanae) as Galko
Minami Takahashi (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma's Megumi Tadokoro) as Ojyo
Keiichiro Kawaguchi (Psychic Squad, Hayate the Combat Butler, OniAi) is directing the anime and handling the series composition at studio feel. Kenji Fujisaki (Blood Lad, Ozma, B-Daman CrossFire) is designing the characters. Ryo Takahashi is composing the music.
Each of the girls' names refers to their type. Galko is a pun on gyaru or gal, which is a term used to describe a type of street fashion where women in their teens and 20s bleach their hair and wear highly decorated nails and a lot of makeup. Otako is a pun on otaku, and Ojō refers to a girl who is a daughter of a high-class family.
Kenya Suzuki launched the manga on Kadokawa's ComicWalker digital manga service in June 2014, but published it on Twitter before that. Kadokawa released the manga's 60th chapter last November. The publisher released the manga's second compiled volume digitally and in print in June 2015.

16 May 2018 — City Desk
On Poolbeg Peninsula, Council Wants to Give Old Buildings New Life
Photo by Cónal Thomas
People pass the buildings all the time on the way to the Great South Wall, says Fine Gael Councillor Kieran Binchy. "And they're just sitting there derelict."
Just off Pigeon House Road and overlooked by the Poolbeg chimneys, sits the former Pigeon House Hotel and former ESB power station, a brown brick structure extending to the shore.
Dublin City Council has owned the site for more than a decade, and it's now looking to get the buildings back into use. "It would be great to see them being used properly," says Binchy.
The council plans to put a call out for developers who might be interested in leasing the site for "a wide range of uses including creative, technological, green, artistic and community uses", says a recent report.
A Refurb
Both the power station and the old hotel, which sit on a seven-acre site on the Poolbeg Peninsula, are "in need of extensive refurbishment", says a council report, released last week.
The power station is broken up into three parts. The boiler house and engine room are "vast open spaces with no internal floors", the report says. "The control room is of concrete block construction with internal floors."
The former Pigeon House Hotel dates back to the 1790s, and has three storeys over a basement. It's used right now as office space for Irish Water and council staff.
Dublin City Council is hoping for proposals for the old buildings from those involved in creative, technological and green industries, the report says.
Perhaps, the power station and hotel could be turned into a visitor attraction, it says. The council will also be looking for ideas around artistic or community uses.
Big Potential
For some this has been a long time coming. The power station has been empty for at least 20 years, says Labour Councillor Dermot Lacey. "There have been various proposals over the years, but it needs a big project."
It's right on the beach with a harbour. "I mean, the potential is just absolutely enormous," says Lacey.
Fine Gael's Binchy says he would like to see a plan that takes in the nearby beach, too. "It's right on the mouth of the Liffey. It should be integrated into the bay as well," he says.
At Monday's meeting of the council's South East Area Committee, councillors backed a motion from Green Party Councillor Claire Byrne to keep the site for community, creative and artistic uses. Like studios for artists, perhaps.
But the site does have its drawbacks, said Senior Executive Officer Helen McNamara, at the meeting.
Both buildings are protected structures, which limits what can be done to them, she says. And they would require a lot of investment.
"The council itself wouldn't have the resources or monies required to get the structures into beneficial use," she said.
The council is seeking expressions of interest "to see what kind of appetite is out there", McNamara said. "I don't think anybody would be interested in buying it outright."
Adding to the City
Byrne of the Green Party says that using the site for artists would be best. "Rather than it being handed over to the highest bidder and become something that doesn't really add anything to the city."
The next step is for applicants to send in ideas, which the council will shortlist and ask for more details about. Councillors and the council would then choose a bidder and transfer the lease.
It makes sense to use the site for community or artistic uses, given the plans for thousands of homes on the Poolbeg SDZ site, just west of the site, says Binchy of Fine Gael.
There are no homes near the site at present, he says. He'd like to see that change. "It's so far out. It's a good distance away but it's such a huge site" he says. "So it has such potential."
Says Labour's Lacey: "I'd be very anxious that significant portions of it remain in either public ownership or public access."

They obviously haven't stood in the area for long because the near toxic smells from the chemical and waste treatment baths in the area are lethal, even just cycling by. They'll need to sort that out first of all.
IMHO they should move IMMA out of Kilmainham and move it there as it has never worked in Kilmainham. A Tate Modern style plan could be a huge attraction if thry can do it right.

PC Game Review: Majesty 2: Kingmaker
TOPICS:GamesPC Gaming
Posted By: Michael Anderson January 18, 2011
Last week when I reviewed Majesty 2 I gave it a strong recommendation and pretty much fawned all over it. I was quite fond of the game when it was released in late 2009, but something happened since then. In order to play the Kingmaker expansion I had reinstalled Majesty 2 on my new laptop and needed to plow through the original again – and I found myself enjoying it more than ever! The mix of the joyfully light-hearted feel and intense challenge was very rewarding, and I couldn't wait to see what Kingmaker had to offer.
The Hype:
What is the connection between the nightmares of Lord Blackviper and those mysterious eyes, burning in the night? Who are these little green men? The ones stabbing your tax collectors with their spears? Can the shamans of the God of Plague rival the very gods themselves? From whence does his avatars appear, and who is to blame?
The search for answers to these questions is unlikely to improve your sleep , but will surely give you many hours of new and exciting battles when the war with the goblins descends upon the peaceful lands of Ardania. And besides, how better could the nights of the Great King be spent?
In addition to defending against the goblin menace, you may also create your own battles! Become not only the king of Ardania, but its creator as well.
The Reality:
My original review summed up as follows:
Minor issues aside, Majesty 2 was a pleasant surprise and loads of fun to play. With loads to do and enough constraints to keep you constantly engaged across the 16 missions that make up the single player campaign, the game presents challenges that are different than what the usual RTS game offers. That uniqueness makes it a blast to play, and challenges you to be careful with hero development and objective setting. The game feels like it could easily adapt to an add-on of some sort, and I hope that the developers see enough success to bring fans more playable content. Either way, if you are a fan of city-builders and strategy games, you owe it to yourself to check out this game!
As this is an expansion released a mere six months after the initial game, most of what is new is content rather than gameplay or technology. Therefore I'll make this a quick review that focuses on what has changed rather than re-telling the same story again. If you are interested in reading what I had to say about the technology and interface elements, head on back to the review for the original game.
Kingmaker is a high-level expansion that adds a campaign with eight new missions, a new enemy, more robust multiplayer and a map editor. The initial response one might have looking at that is … oh, that is a pretty thin amount of content for an expansion. But at $10, this expansion is only a bit more expensive than DLC for recent games, and delivers much more content than those. Let's look at each in turn.
The obvious sore spot for those looking to an expansion to add content is the single new enemy unit. Kingmaker adds Goblins as the new enemy – and as Goblins tend to do, they attack in large numbers, and with surprising force. There are warriors, archers and mages – and all of them are deadly foes. There are no additions to your forces, nor are there any other changes or additions.
Multiplayer is enhanced a couple of ways. First, it feels as though significant work went into tweaking and tuning things to play better in multiplayer. Also, the new content is available in multiplayer as well. Finally, with the map editor you have the opportunity to challenge others on unfamiliar battlefields – and for me that was the most fun of all!
The map editor itself is pretty robust and easy to use – as you would expect for a game of this scope. There is a ton you can do with the different areas, terrain, enemies, scripting, and so on. Recently Paradox announced a map making challenge here (http://www.paradoxplaza.com/press/2010/4/majesty-2-kingmaker-map-making-competition-announced) – which is a great way to get some skilled modders involved and creating great content.
But the meat of Kingmaker is the large high-level campaign. The missions of 'Return of Grum-Gog' are large and challenging, and require you to have significantly advanced your levels before even contemplating. You once again see a wide variety of terrain types and environments (though they are the same basic types as the original game), and the missions are quite difficult and frenetic at times.
You will spend many hours working through the new mission content, and by then you'll be ready for some multiplayer. Whether you create your own maps or use the in-game content, the multiplayer is improved. Otherwise the game is every bit as polished, stable, light-hearted and just plain fun as the original. If you enjoyed the original, this is an easy recommendation – and if you missed out on the original, grab the Gold pack that includes both the original game and this expansion, or buy them separately as both have been on sale frequently!
Review: Majesty 2: Kingmaker Expansion
Where to Buy: Amazon.com Digital Download
What I Like: Innovative genre-bending game style works well at high level; Maintains nice light-hearted feel; High level campaign is very challenging; New map editor lets you take control!; Multiplayer is much improved
What Needs Improvement: Single new enemy is just too little new content

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
QuietOn 3 Sleep Earbuds Are Perfect for Home, Work, and Travel


The scenes of Lent and Holy Week are familiar. Each year we visit the upper room, the Garden of Gethsemane, the halls of Pontus Pilate and the hill of Golgotha. People of the Passion explores the characters who would have been in these familiar places of Holy Week. From Simon the Zealot in the upper room to a Roman soldier observing Jesus' trial, our midweek worship and Home Groups will explore how Jesus' presence changes even the most troubling places in the lives of the people of the passion as well as our lives today.
As you use the material below to reflect on the People of the Passion, consider beginning with a simple prayer for the Holy Spirit to open your heart to Jesus' action and grace for you. Take up the Setting the Theme questions, read the passage for Approaching God's Word, watch the message and reflect on it using the Digging Deeper questions, close with the prayer for the week, and then meditate on the daily Bible passages listed.
When was the last time you moved? Why did you move? What was the best & worst part of that transition? When did the new place become Home?
Pray that God would open our hearts and lives to His Word.
Notice how the first half of the reading is focused on how the people prepare for Passover, while the second half is focused on what God is doing.
Notice how the first half of the reading is focused on how the people are preparing for Passover (!), while the second half is focused on what God is doing through Jesus and His Word.
Either in Wednesday evening worship or by YouTube, engage the message for the week. The Space below is intended for your personal notes and refletions.
How do you or your family usually prepare for Holy Week and Easter? What are you doing this year?
The religious establishment in the Luke 22:1-13 prepared for Passover by plotting a murder. How do you see Fear, Force, Finances, and the Old Evil Foe in this text?
How do you see the interaction of Fear, Force, Finances, and the Old Evil Foe in your experience or your own heart?
Talk about one or more of the following with people who can point you back to Jesus and His love for you.
In the face of these enemies, our faithful God still acts to save His people. Jesus prepares the Passover for His disciples by His Word.
What promise of Jesus prepares your heart and life for what Jesus is doing next?
Jesus is preparing a place for you: how does that affect your thinking and feeling, your prayers and actions this week?
Jesus, in this season of repentance, I again admit the ways in which fear, force, and finances affect my heart, my relationships, and my walk with you.
Guard my heart, mind, and emotions from the influence of the old evil foe. Increase my trust in Your promises. Forgive my sins and calm my fears.
As long as I know You are preparing a place for me, Jesus, I can face whatever happens next. Be near me now and always. Amen.

PROFESSIONAL FEEDBACK
"I support building a living digital library of the lives of people living with, or affected by, HIV/AIDS… It is a great and important vision. I am hopeful that potential funding partners will embrace the utility of this endeavor and step up to ensure its success.
Thomas Coates, Ph.D., Professor, Division of Infectious DiseasesUCLA, David Geffen School of Medicine
Co-founder of CAPS (Center for AIDS Prevention Studies-AIDS Research Institute at UCSF)
"The images and biographies shared through "The Positive Project" sensitize viewers to the urgency of HIV/AIDS in this country. It is a powerful tool in the ongoing fight against HIV/AIDS, and will help make the epidemic a memory in a lifetime."
Paul Kawata
National Minority AIDS Council
"The digital format maximizes the flexibility and utility of the interviews for prevention, care, education, and training purposes since it can be accessed and specifically tailored for targeted audiences. Building a workable digital database is the innovative essence of The Positive Project."
John Anderson, Ph.D., Director
American Psychological Association, Office on AIDS
"This is an especially wonderful resource for people who live outside of major cities where there is no face to face information and support available."
Craig Thompson, Executive Director
AIDS Project Los Angeles
"I believe the importance of this project is that it will be extremely useful in raising public awareness about HIV/AIDS, improving the quality of care and quality of life through education and training as well as useful in reducing stigma."
Kenneth Lichtenstein, M.D.,
Chairman Department of Medicine, Rose Medical Center
Professor of Medicine, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center
"I applaud the developers of The Positive Project for their innovative approach and believe it could reinvigorate our HIV approaches in many powerful ways."
Bob Bongiovanni, Manager of Technical Assistance and Training STD/HIV Section
"I was convinced from the beginning that such a project had broad and exciting implications for use in varied education settings….Inclusion of the personal stories has been very effective and more relevant to our audience than conventional educational methods of conveying this information."
MeriLou Johnson, MPA, MSW, Director
Colorado AIDS Education and Training Center
"Our medical and social work providers have been very impressed with the work of The Positive Project… Our clients often express a desire to learn about the experiences of others affected by HIV but frequently are not comfortable meeting other clients in person."
Elizabeth McFarland, M.D., Director
The Children's Hospital
Children's Hospital Immunodeficiency Program
"This is something we in the business of saving lives have been waiting for, as the stigma has made many infected individuals hesitant to share their stories. But it is just these stories that will effectively illustrate the fact that HIV/AIDS is still very much with us today."
Deirdre Maloney, Executive Director
Colorado AIDS Project
"The video segments compiled by The Positive Project clearly have the potential utility for use in health promotion interventions, including medication adherence interventions and safer-sex interventions for people living with the virus. Perhaps the greatest potential application of the video segments would be for newly-diagnosed persons who are isolated, frightened, and lack knowledge about HIV."
Eric Benotsch, Ph.D.
University of Colorado at Denver Health Sciences Center
"The Positive Project is an exciting, innovative educational tool that can enhance HIV prevention and care issues through utilization of peer role models…With adequate funding The Positive Project has the capacity to grow and access many individual and communities effectively in the fight against HIV disease."
Peter Ralin, MS, President
AIDS Coalition for Education

"It´s a common sense virus. This disease will go away if you protect yourself, but no one wants to talk about it."
"Being out, and open, and free to talk about my own status, and how it has affected my life, I hope can help."
"Messages about HIV need to come from us, because we, the people who are living with the virus, all deal with it in a different way."
"Either the people of the public can use our stories to make a better situation out of what has been a bad situation for so many years now, or they can keep quiet and keep on letting the virus spread."
"I firmly believe that this groundbreaking educational endeavor would reach an enormously large segment of the population of Older adults that heretofore have been excluded from receiving the very basics of information on HIV/AIDS. I am a person living with HIV/AIDS for nearly 20 years and am very active not only in New York, but across the nation."

Zacky Vengeance: "Heavy Metal genre is due for a revival"
In a brand new interview with the Omaha World-Herald, Zacky Vengeance spoke about the fact that not a lot of metal bands other than his group, Metallica and Iron Maiden are big enough to play arenas.
"I think it's due for a revival," Zacky said. "It's gonna take the right bands. Metal and rock fans are definitely there. They love it. They live for it".
"Metallica is selling out arenas. We're selling out arenas. When a young and upcoming band like a new System Of A Down or new Rage Against The Machine comes, people take note of it. All it's gonna take is catching a radio programmer's ear, and people are gonna catch on.
"In the pop and hip-hop world, there's a lot of garbage. I love all kinds of music, but when the right band comes, we're gonna see a resurgence."

Q: How to set URL for elfinder in yii2? I am using this module in yii2 framework but unable to set the correct URL
https://github.com/simialbi/yii2-elfinder
 'connectionSets' => [
                'default' => [ // like elfinder roots
                    [
                        'class' => 'simialbi\yii2\elfinder\ElFinderConfigurationLocalFileSystem',
                        'path'  => '@webroot/uploads',
                        'URL'   => '@web/file/files' // HERE PROBLEM
                    ]
                ]
            ],

This is how I have defined URL 'URL'   => '@web/file/files' where file is my controller and files is my action .
Could you please let me know how exactly this URL show be passed in yii2 basic template .
127.0.0.1:8080/project/elfinder/proxy/index?baseUrl=QHdlYi9maWxlL2ZpbGVz&path=/NewFolder/file_example_PNG_500kB.png&_t=1587811929

A: URL point to web directory where files are stored (so this is the same directory as path, but as URL visible from web). In your case it probably should be @web/uploads.

A: I just figured it out .
Step 1 :- You need to set the URL managers properly
 'urlManager' => [
  'controller/action/<file:.*>' => 'controller/action',
]

Step 2 :- Create an action and add this code
public function actionYourActionName($file)
    {
        $image_path = YOUR_UPLOAD_PATH . basename($file);
        if (file_exists($image_path)) {
            return \yii::$app->response->sendFile($image_path, $file, [
                'inline' => true //OPTIONAL
            ]);
        }
         return "What exception you want to throw";
    }


This paper discusses conditions under which changing the way residual biomass is handled is sustainable. Even though residual biomass was long considered a waste product without function, most traditional treatments do provide useful product, for example compost or energy. Residual biomass is now considered an important resource for bioenergy and bio-based products. But using biomass for new applications means losing traditional functions and is not automatically more sustainable. This paper discusses old and new biomass uses and conditions to ensure that changing the way biomass is handled is a step in the right direction.
Landscape managers increasingly want to use the residual biomass that is left after vegetation management. To maximise the benefits of using residual biomass we recommend that current and future biomass uses are compared with one another. These applications may contribute to sustainability in varying degrees. Comparison should include not only costs, but also impacts on greenhouse gas emissions, soil fertility, land use, and ecosystem services such as habitats and biodiversity.
