Q: Copying HTML from a selection to the clipboard with native JavaScript I have created a custom context menu (including a menu entry to copy arbitrary text that has previously been selected to the clipboard) which works fine, except for one thing: When attempting to copy and paste a text snippet from a web page somewhere else the formatting of said snippet (line breaks, etc.) is lost.
Now the question that's bothering me is, is there any way to get the selected (arbitrary) text and retain its formatting? I'm currently using this function to obtain the text:
function GetSelection()
  {
var l_result;

  if(window.getSelection)
    l_result = window.getSelection();
  else
    if(document.getSelection)
      l_result = document.getSelection();
    else
      if(document.selection)
        l_result = document.selection.createRange().text;

  return l_result;
  }

This function is invoked by clicking on the Copy menu item in the context menu and so has the mandatory user intervention.
To facilitate the transfer mechanism I have also attached the following event handler (I found this part in this answer; unfortunately that one gets the contents of an entire element and copies it to the clipboard, which violates the prerequisite that arbitrary text selected by the user should be copied):
document.addEventListener('copy', function (p_event) {
  if(selected == '')
    return;

  p_event.clipboardData.setData('text/plain', selected);
  p_event.preventDefault();
  selected = '';
  }, true);

Right now the MIME type of the selection to be copied is set to text/plain, because I currently cannot convince the clipboardData object to accept that as text/html. I have done some googling around now, but I didn't find any viable solution so far.
Here's a full test page to demonstrate the effect (tested with Firefox 61.0.2):

WordPress won't cooperate with hosting the livestream feed here, so travel over to these URLs to watch what is going on at the State House. Speakers are broadcast live, and rebroadcast during downtimes. Meetings and assemblies are broadcast live as well, giving you a taste of the cooperative and open way things are working.
Many pictures have been taken over the past week out there. Here are a few dozen that have mostly appeared on the SC Green Party Facebook page, now reposted here for the world to see.
It is important to note that the Occupy events aren't partisan. They aren't Democratic, Republican, Libertarian or Green events. The Green Party of the US broadly supports the movement, as do other groups like the AFL-CIO. It is evident from participating on the ground that the occupations are going to work in their own way. Preexisting groups can be revitalized by the movement, or they can fight it, but they shouldn't try to control it.
Playing Monopoly on the State House lawn.
Tom Clements talks about the Savannah River Site at Occupy Columbia on Thursday, October 20, 2011. Tom shared information on the history of SRS and the plans of industry and the federal government to reprocess the nation's nuclear waste here in South Carolina. There is a great danger that the reprocessed waste will simply remain in South Carolina, as there is no means of reusing it as fuel.
Our October meeting is Wednesday, October 19, 7:00pm at Earth Fare on Folly Road Blvd (in the South Windermere shopping center). Look for us in the cafe. Please bring a friend and join us!
Please also make plans to attend these important events (Green Party events and events involving Greens are listed in green.
Blvd. Occupy Charleston will be occupying Brittlebank Park for 99 hours in a show of solidarity with our sisters and brothers fighting the good fight up on Wall St, demanding accountability from corporate America for ruining our economy and demanding that they loose their iron hold on our politics. OBP will be erecting a tent city, cooking food, doing marches and holding meetings. They will have live music and open assemblies and speeches and whatever else they decide to plan!
Is the Party Over? Thur, Oct 20 11:00am – 12:00pm, Brittlebank Park, 180 Lockwood Blvd. Local party leaders talk about their views regarding the continuing relevance or irrelevance of traditional political parties. Larry Carter Center will represent the Green Party. George Temple, Chairman of the Charleston County party, and Carol Temple will represent the Democrats. Republicans TBA. The Libertarians are also invited to participate.
Lowcountry Progressive Network Meeting, Mon, Oct. 24, 7:00pm, ILA Hall, 1142 Morrison Dr. Come be updated on the photo ID law, elect regional Progressive Network coordinators, and make plans for the Oct. 29 state Network conference. Call 803-808-3384 or email network@scpronet.com for information.
Adopt-a-Highway trash pickup, Sat, Nov 5, 10:30am, 5th Ave/St Andrews Blvd. Our last pickup of 2011 is Saturday, Nov 5. Meet in front of the historic Emanuel AME Church on the corner of 5th Ave and St Andrews Blvd in the Maryville section of West Ashley at 10:30am.
South Carolina Green Party Steering Committee monthly meeting, Sat, Nov 12 noon – 4:00pm, Richland County Public Library, Columbia (downtown/Main branch). Monthly meetings are open to the public and everyone is welcome.
If you want to attend, contact anna@charlestonpeace.net for carpooling info.
Occupy Columbia is ongoing at the State house. A few hundred people are enjoying the day with a spirited and fun protest. The reaction from people driving by is tremendous!
Permission has been worked out with the State House troopers to camp! People will be staying overnight! Participants cannot bring tents, but they can lay down bedding and sleeping bags. People intend to stay for several days. Donated food is being served by Food Not Bombs and area restaurants.
Lots of media were there before Noon. For example WIS, interviewing mostly the most outrageously attired folks at first. I think that they got some more serious stuff in before the end.
Occupy Columbia. October 15, 9 AM all day and as long as possible.
The occupation of Columbia is to begin October 15th, 9 AM on the State House Grounds. This event does not have an end date.
We need to make sure that this growth in the population's awareness does not falter. Though most of the media has decided to black out the heroic actions of the collection in new york it can be certain that it has caught the attention of both the 1 percenters and the other 99 we reside in.
If you are unsure what this is or wish more information just google OCCUPY WALLSTREET or visit http://www.occupywallstreet.org or http://www.occupytogether.org for more information. We need to let our own local politicians and media know our own anger and resentment on a system that is strangling the world through greed and convenience.
-Occupy Columbia is not a partisan movement; it has no political leaning toward any party of America's political system. It is a movement seeking alter a broken political system though this is not the sole intent of the movement and all opinions have voice in Occupy Columbia.
WASHINGTON, DC — Green Party leaders sharply criticized Democratic Party supporters online and in the media who have tried to turn the ongoing Occupy Wall Street, Occupy America, and October 2011 demonstrations across America into an appeal to vote Democrat and reelect President Obama in 2012.
Many of the protesters have expressed their disgust with two-party politics (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/wall-street-protesters-disgusted-parties-14687840) and the influence of corporate money. Â Organizers have rejected attempts to shoehorn the movement into any party and assert that the protesters come from diverse political persuasions.
Greens, who are participating in the protests and among the organizers, have pointed to the Green Party's alternative vision for America, as expressed in the Green New Deal (http://www.greenpartywatch.org/2010/08/11/62-green-candidates-endorse-green-new-deal) and on the party's web site (http://www.gp.org).
The Green Party offers a platform for peace, economic security for working people, millions of new green jobs in conservation and clean energy development, an end to fossil fuel addiction, real steps for curbing global climate change and restoring the health of the planet, universal health care (Medicare For All), and reforms that would limit the power of corporations and restore the promise of participatory democracy and fair elections. Â Green candidates do not accept corporate money.

Facebook notifying million users data cambridge analytica
Is Facebook Trying to Come Clean by Notifying Millions of Users About Data Ingathered by Cambridge Analytica?
Facebook has started to send notifications to 87 million users globally of whether their personal data was ingathered by Cambridge Analytica.
After Facebook publicly admitted data theft, which fired up #deletefacebook campaign, millions of social media users are waiting for Facebook's response that finally came today.
Facebook just start sending notifications to its users (2.2 billion) from Monday 17.00 BST. This notification appeared with the title "Protecting Your Information". It provides access to what kind of personal data was extracted using those apps. BBC reporter, David Lee shared the notification on twitter:
Just waking up in the UK? From around noon you'll see one of these two messages when you go on Facebook. If you get the one on the right, it means you were one of the 1m-or-so British-based users apparently scooped up by Cambridge Analytica pic.twitter.com/HdGMOZn3iX
— Dave Lee (@DaveLeeBBC) April 9, 2018
Mostly, users will get a short notification, while 87 million users who have had their data ingathered by Cambridge Analytica will get a detailed notification saying:
Through this notification, Facebook is providing opportunities to disable third-party apps that could gather your information.
What's sad to see is that no action was taken by Facebook in late 2015, although the organization was aware of Cambridge Analytica activities.
The personality assessment app used to collect user data was known as "This is your Digital Life". It was created by Cambridge University Professor Aleksandr Kogan, who was appointed by Cambridge Analytica in 2014.
During a recent interview with the Cambridge Analytica whistleblower, Christopher Wylie revealed that it is possible that the actual number of affected users could be more than 87 million.
Finally, Facebook is showing some response and we hope that it will take further action to limit these kinds of data ingathered activities by different organizations. But the question remains the same, how will Facebook regain the trust of its users? Or this is the end of Facebook's era?

Sculpting with light to illuminate life's shadows
April 4, 2012 — 3.00am
Throughout her six-month battle with cancer, the Sydney artist, Katthy Cavaliere, resiliently fought the illness in private, allowing only close friends and family to be on hand for support. These same people had lent support three years earlier when Cavaliere's mother, Mara, died, also from cancer.
To compound this grief, Cavaliere's grandmother also died soon afterwards.
Engaging educator ... the Italian-born artist, Katthy Cavaliere.
Late last year, Cavaliere took a series of photographs (yet to be exhibited). She took Mara's clothes to a rock at Clovelly Beach, where they had often sat and chatted. Then she formed the clothes into a nest and sat naked facing the ocean with
her back to the viewer, her mother's stockings on her head flapping in the breeze like an absurd windsock.
In one image, she embraces the ocean with a warm, robust wave; in another, curious seagulls circle her carnivorously.
''I was dealing with mortality as a conceptual artist. But it's not conceptual any more; it's really happening,'' she said with profound and disarming matter-of-factness.
Katthy Cavaliere was born on November 11, 1972, in the town of Sarteano, Italy, and was four when her family migrated to Australia.
It was the desire to bring to light what she did not remember of her early years in Sarteano that motivated her. In this way, the poetics of homelessness and dispossession charged her art practice.
By grappling with alienation and a sense of place, Cavaliere often depicted the lone figure in an imagined world.
Cavaliere graduated from the College of Fine Arts in the mid-1990s and almost immediately came to national art-world prominence through her association with Artspace, Sydney. From 1997 to 2000 she was shortlisted for the Helen Lempriere Travelling Art Scholarship (HLTAS) at Artspace and won the award in 2000.
A year earlier, Artspace had hosted Story of a Girl, a memorable performance-based installation where Cavaliere gave her personal possessions to members of the audience.
The HLTAS gave Cavaliere the opportunity to study in Italy at the Accademia di Belle Arti, in Brera, Milano.
Later, she was one of a few to be selected to attend a workshop with the visiting professor, Marina Abramovic, at the Fondazione Ratti advanced course in visual arts in Como.
Cavaliere considered Abramovic a mentor at this time and certainly, her influence is evident in Cavaliere's work.
Returning to Australia, Cavaliere toured her solo exhibition, Suspended Moment, to several NSW regional galleries (2004 to 2005).
The sophistication of her practice from the outset was evidenced by the way Suspended Moment surveyed almost a decade of work, including pieces made as early as 1993 at art school.
Cavaliere held a number of important residencies, most notably in Milan in 2003 through the assistance of the Australia Council.
In 2005 and again in 2008, she resided at Hill End, transforming a studio cottage into a room-size ''camera obscura'' to create ghost-like images of the landscape outside.
One of these images became a large billboard erected in the gardens of Hazelhurst Regional Gallery in 2008.
The experience at Hill End inspired a popular education program whereby Cavaliere would cart a room-size camera obscura around schools and regional galleries at their invitation. She was an engaging educator who charmed young people with images that were ''back to front, upside down and inside out''.
Indeed, that was how Cavaliere saw the world.
Her vision was to sculpt with light in order to illuminate life's shadows.
In 2008, Cavaliere performed Loved for Artspace's 25th anniversary program.
It later formed the basis of a video work that was curated into an exhibition for the Italian Institute of Culture at the Venice Biennale last year.
She regarded this opportunity as a career high point because it enabled her work to be seen once again in her beloved home country.
Cavaliere had so much more work in her yet to be made; so many more trips back home yet to be travelled.
The generosity of spirit imbued in the legacy of her work survives in the way she touched those who loved her.
Katthy Cavaliere is survived by her father, Pasquale.

Celebration is a purpose built community near to Disney World in Florida and the moment you arrive, you know there's something different about it. Partly because everything is new and partly because it was initially developed by the Walt Disney Company, the whole place is a bit like a stereo-typical "perfect" American town. It's like Main Street USA on speed!
It's a fascinating place to visit and we just walked around and soaked everything up. It's a little like walking around a back-lot at a film studio, but everything here is real. Critics may say it has a 'plastic', manufactured feel to it, but we don't agree. What has made this a real community are the families that live here and the quality businesses that have developed. The restaurants are good, the shops are interesting and the hotel looks an amazing place to stay.
Notable buildings to look out for include the incredible retro cinema with its illuminated towers, the circular front of the Post Office on Water Street and the striking Bank of America building with its Italian looking tower. Look out for the alligators in the lake too – they were the only wild ones we saw on our trip to Florida.
There's lots more things to see just by walking the side walks near the town centre or by driving along the boulevards. It would be easy to miss this place on a visit to Orlando, but it's a welcome break from the theme parks and it's one of our favourite locations in Florida. A good place to start your visit is the Celebration Welcome Center in the heart of the town at 690 Celebration Ave. It's open weekends only 10am to 5pm.
Celebration is sign posted from the I-4 and is located at the bottom of World Drive which is the main entrance road for Walt Disney World.

Albany gets Revenge on Portland Taking the NRU Title
NRU Playoffs
Albany 29- Monmouth 0
The women's side won the NRU Championship this past weekend and will be going onto Nationals again this year. This year the format of the National tournament had changed with USA Rugby formally recognizing DII women's rugby and all seven territories now sending a team. As a result, only one seed from the Northeast would advance, not the usual two. It was win or go home: We had finished the regular season 4-1 with our only lost coming against (final score: 30-15). As a result, Portland had the #1 seed and Albany was #2. This meant we would face the #1 seed from Met NY, Monmouth.
Our semi-final started out with both teams playing strong, Monmouth was especially tough at the breakdowns. Albany settled into the game quickly however and spent most of the first ten minutes in Monmouth's half. 13 minutes later and our hard efforts paid off with Ruth Robertson running in for a try and JoAnne Kos converting. The next 20 minutes of the match was much of the same with Albany applying steady pressure inside the Monmouth 22- the consistent effort was rewarded with a penalty kick and an unconverted try, both by JoAnne Kos. The last 5 minutes of the half saw Monmouth threatening to score as they parked themselves in front of the Albany try-line, but the girls put in a great defensive effort. Score at half would be 15-0 Albany.
Second half was almost a repeat of the first with steady pressure in the opening minutes paying off with a try and conversion (both by JoAnne Kos). Most of the half would see neither team able to score. Willow Eyers put the proverbial nail in the Monmouth's coffin at the 30 minute mark with a long run down the touch-line, JoAnne Kos converted and the score would remain 29-0 until the final whistle.
Albany 21- Portland 5
Sunday saw the girls tired and sore from their semi-final game but eager to avenge their regular season loss to Portland. Both teams took the field confident that they would win and first half was indicative of that- neither team would score a try and although Albany worked incredibly hard in front of the Portland try-zone, their efforts amounted to two converted penalty kicks (JoAnne Kos). Score was 6-0 at the half, meaning just one converted try would put Portland in the lead in what was turning out to be a great defensive battle. Albany hit the second-half hard, determined not to let a close game get away from them. Within a minute JoAnne Kos ran in from about 15 meters out to give the team a little breathing room. Ten minutes later and Willow Eyers get her second try of the tournament and score was 16-0 with about 30 minutes left in the match. (In our regular season match, Portland scored 3 tries on us in half that time so a 16-0 lead was anything but comfortable). True to form, Portland came charging back pressuring consistently in our 22, the pressure worked and we let in an unconverted try. Score was 16-5 with 20 minutes left in the match. Rest of the game was back and forth, played mostly between the 22's. (The forwards particularly hated one sequence where the backs traded kicks for about 6 phases in a row). With 7 minutes left in the match Ruth Robertson had a long break-away in which she out-ran all of the Portland defenders, to make the score 21-5. The score would hold and the match ended with the team exhausted but happy that they were back-to-back NRU Champions and would be headed to Arizona as the #3 seed in the country.
Albany Taken Down by Portland
Portland 30- Albany 15
First week in October saw Albany on the road again to take on their toughest opponent of the season. Two seasons ago, Portland had ended Albany's play-off hopes and Albany returned the favor by ending Portland's play-off chances with a last minute victory last year. The game was going to be close and hard-fought and the outcome was anything but certain for either club. The billing proved to be true- it was an exciting match to watch with the lead changing 6 times over the course of the day. Portland got on the board with first with a penalty kick at the 6 min mark. 12 minutes later Albany got on the board with a try by Lauren Sirkin, 5-3 Albany. At the 24 min mark Portland got their first try, 8-5 Portland. In injury time just before the half, JoAnne Kos scored and converted her own try to give Albany the lead again, 12-5. Second half saw Portland score in the first couple of minutes to go up by one, 13-12. 10 minutes later Albany capitalized on a penalty in front of the Portland posts to take what turned out to be their last lead of the match, 15-13. Shortly after that, Albany had a huge 10 minute lapse in defense that saw Portland run three tries thru their defenses. Last seven minutes of the game saw Albany re-double their defensive efforts but the damage was done and the final score was 30-15. Not the outcome hoped for but a chance for the club to re-focus and adjust as they headed into their last regular season match. Scoring summary: JoAnne Kos 1 try, 1 conversion, 1 penalty kick; Lauren Sirkin 1 try A-side MVP: Mary Pezzulo (for her high work-rate at the breakdowns, hard runs and composure at prop) B-side MVP: Caitlin Casey (for some excellent runs on the wing and her spirited play)

Q: Detecting hard coded label text in PHP application Is there a way to detect hard coded label text that potentially needs to be replaced by a label within a PHP application? I am not just talking about PHP files but also about javascript, xml files and SMARTY/TWIG templates. Are there standard procedures within multilingual applications?

A: For PHP you could iterate over the template files using token_get_all().
You'd look at T_STRING tokens and then check if they are not in the same format your placeholders are. For example: "All Uppercase" or something like that.

For xml it's pretty much the same deal, iterating over the nodes and checking if any text content is flying around where you would only expect placeholders.

A: Our Search Engine is a tool for efficient searching across large code bases, indexing the language lexical structure to speed the search.    It is thus faster than grep, and allows much more nuanced queries in terms of those language lexemes.
A query is in the form of a series of lexemes with various constraints. One might write a query:
   I=*foo* '.' S=*hello

meaning:  "find an Identifier containing 'foo', followed by a concatenation operator, followed by a literal String having the letters 'hello' at the end.  For PHP, the generic lexeme S represent all the string-type literals (squoted strings, dquoted strings, heredocs, etc; you can search for them specifically if you want).   Because the search engine understands lexical syntax, it won't get confused by intervening whitespace, linebreaks or comments, so you don't have to know the layout to find it.  (It will find comment tokens with constraints if you insist).
You don't have to put a constraint:
   I=*foo* '.' S

finds any identifier dot string combination.
The query
   S

by itself directly answers the OP's question of "where are literal strings?" of any type.

"Profiles in Environmentalism" is a recurring segment on our blog where we shine a light on the dedicated people who are working to preserve the world around them. Big or small, local or national, every environmental organization works towards the same goal: providing a greener world for future generations.
The ground beneath our feet may seem like a solid mass of soil and rock. But nestled between the crevices of the rock, dirt and sand, lays an enormous quantity of water. The ground essentially acts like an all-encompassing sponge, absorbing water and everything it comes into contact with on the surface. As water is absorbed into the ground, it filters down through the soil until it completely saturates the ground. This area of saturation forms an aquifer, a vital water resource utilized by 51% of the US population.
The ubiquity of groundwater allows cities and towns to flourish in areas that have no significant rivers or lakes to draw water from. But the flipside is that as these cities grow and develop the chances of toxins and hazardous waste accumulating in the water table increases. An all too common example of this comes from the use of pesticides. Homeowners who want to keep their garden free of bugs often over apply toxic chemicals to their plants. Those chemicals are picked up by the rain and either seep into the water table or end up being carried away through storm drains. And while these chemicals might not harm common houseplants, they do have the capacity to make both people and wildlife sick.
The threat of contaminated groundwater came to the forefront of one Nebraskan woman's attention in 1984. An epidemiologist by the name of Dr. Dennis Weisenberger published a report concerning the effects of elevated nitrate levels in the Platte River Valley of Nebraska. He believed that the chemicals in fertilizer used by farms in the Valley could be responsible for the region's increased rates of Leukemia and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The report caught the eye of Susan Seacrest, whose own family had been suffering from a variety of illnesses over the years. Intrigued, she met Dr. Weisenberger and soon learned about the inherent dangers of groundwater contamination. He encouraged her to investigate further, emphasizing the importance of gaining the support of her fellow citizens to draw attention to the problem in the Valley.
The desire to protect her family from further harm drove her early research into groundwater contamination, but she soon found that her work could help more than just her own family. A year after reading the article, she founded The Groundwater Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted entirely to protecting the water table of communities across the country.
In the early years, the Foundation focused on educating the next generation of citizens about the significance of groundwater. One of the biggest outreach events put forward by the Groundwater Foundation was the Children's Groundwater Festival, an opportunity for Nebraska's youth to learn about the water that sustains their living. Prior to the festival, many thought that the subject of water would be a non-starter for kids, but the Foundation's message proved to be a universal one. Over 1,700 children signed up for the festival over the first week, shattering estimates of 50 or so children participating.
Over time, the Foundation established new programs to bring entire communities together to protect their groundwater. Starting in 1994, the Foundation began recognizing individual communities that took steps to minimize groundwater contamination through Resulted Oriented Activities, or ROA's. Communities are recognized as Groundwater Guardians based on the plans they put forward to protect their groundwater, whether by enacting a protection plan for local aquifers or organizing cleanups in areas that are prone to contamination. As a community makes progress towards its stated goals, they earn their status as a Groundwater Guardian, connecting them with a network of like-minded communities across the country.
The Foundation has also enacted a parallel program called Groundwater Guardian Green Sites. The Green Site program recognizes green space managers who take steps to mitigate or eliminate their impact on groundwater. Eligible green spaces include golf courses, athletic fields, college campuses, residential & office parks, wellhead protection areas, and many other sites.
Outside of their community programs, the Groundwater Foundation advocates for a number of water safety measures that cities can adopt to mitigate groundwater contamination. One of the most prescribed methods of water safety for individual towns is establishing a wellhead protection area. These protection areas are designed to protect the well water that a city relies on for drinking water and industrial activity. Creating a wellhead protection area involves determining the geologic makeup of the aquifer, which informs the flow of groundwater and the physical boundaries of the aquifer. From this information a city can create an accurate map of the areas that can directly impact water quality.
The Foundation also promotes efficient irrigation such as center pivot irrigation, a system designed to increase the efficiency of irrigation systems used by farmers. Traditional irrigation methods are designed to provide water to crops that are arranged in rectangular fields. Providing enough water to these fields is labor-intensive and wastes a lot of water in the process. Center pivot irrigation changes the layout of the field such that each crop is arranged in a circle, at the center of which is a sprinkler system that extends across the radius of the field. Once activated, the sprinkler system revolves around the entire field dispensing just enough water to effectively cover every plant in the crop.
The Groundwater Foundation began with the idea that citizens who work together towards a common goal can achieve anything. The Foundation's long history bears that idea out. Public awareness of groundwater contamination has never been greater, and cities across the country have adopted their own groundwater protection plans at the urging of their communities. Their efforts have helped protect many people across the country, and their continued advocacy for groundwater protection promises to protect many more.

Reasonable Modifications to Policy, Practice & Procedure in Public Transportation
Department of Transportation (DOT) issues regulations implementing the transportation and related provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. These regulations apply broadly to both public and private entities and to almost all types of transportation services, including fixed route bus and rail (e.g., commuter, rapid, and light rail), complementary paratransit, demand responsive service and ferry service.
Title II of the ADA applies to public transportation provided by State and local governments. Section 504 applies to all organizations and agencies that receive federal funding. Both laws require that policies, practice and procedures be modified so that the transportation services are accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Types of public transportation services
This factsheet addresses two kinds of public transportation services:
Fixed-route bus service—buses have established routes and make stops at pre-determined destinations.
Demand-responsive service (also known as ADA complementary paratransit) — buses provide origin-to-destination service in response to requests from individuals with disabilities who need accommodation.
Public transportation accessibility modifications
Modifications that make public transportation accessible to individuals with disabilities may include ramps, lifts, changes in stop locations, designated seating areas, complementary (non-fixed route) bus systems.
Requests for modifications
Transit Provider's Responsibilities:
Provide information to the public in accessible formats about the process for requesting reasonable modification.
Clearly state the eligibility requirements, the timeline for requesting modifications, and the complaint process.
Provide several accessible ways to request the reasonable modification—for example, through phone, email, TTY or on the transit provider's website
Inform rider of decision to grant or deny request.
Rider's Responsibilities:
Provide a clear description of the modification needed to use the transportation service (for example, relocating a bus stop to the next block if the current location is inaccessible).
Make the modification request as far in advance as possible, particularly when there is a long-term problem. For example, there is no accessible bus stop, the ramp to the passenger's front door is too steep to be picked up at the front, construction blocks the regular route, etc. Advance requests can be made at any time during the eligibility determination, reservation, or complaint process.
Transit providers do not need to provide a modification if it:
Causes a direct threat to the health or safety of others. For example, when assisting a passenger means leaving the transit vehicle unattended in a high traffic area, that could likely result in a collision and endanger the safety of the other passengers.
Results in a fundamental alteration of the service. For example, if an individual requests the driver of a fixed-route service to stop at a location that is not on the schedule, this is a fundamental alteration to fixed-route service.
Is unnecessary in order for the individual with the disability to receive services. For example, a passenger asks to sit in the same seat every time because of a personal preference.
Results in an undue financial or administrative burden to the transit agency. (Applies only to recipients of Federal financial assistance.) An individual who requests a specific driver for a paratransit trip may be denied this request because this would cause an administrative burden.
Common examples of reasonable modification requests in fixed-route transportation include:
Positioning the bus for loading and unloading in a location where there are no obstructions, such as construction.
Allowing a person with diabetes to eat on the bus to avoid a drop in glucose.
Common examples of reasonable modification requests in paratransit include:
Picking a rider up at a building entrance that is flat and unobstructed.
Helping an individual who is blind get to the front of the building in extreme weather.
Follow the complaint process of the local transportation agency directly first. For more information on filing a complaint, contact the customer service department with the local transportation agency.
If the transit agency is unable to resolve the complaint, you can file a complaint with the Federal Transit Administration Office of Civil Rights. Complaints should be filed within 180 days from the date of the incident. Download the FTA complaint form and mail it to:
Federal Transit Administration
Attention: Complaint Team
East Building, 5th Floor – TCR
1200 New Jersey Ave., SE
Include the following information with your complaint:
Statement of events including the date(s) and time(s)
Any supporting documentation
You will receive a letter from the FTA that describes the findings of the investigation and any corrective action the transit agency is required to take to correct the problem.
For more information about the ADA and Public Transportation, call an ADA specialist at 1-800-949-4232. All calls are confidential.

It was February 2007 when auditions began for Indian Idol Season 3. Six months later, the most popular season of the show comes to its grand finale. With only a week to go before the winner is found, Indian Idol is heading for an exciting and nail- biting finish. With both finalists high on the popularity list, it is going to be tough for the viewers to select one amongst them as the winner. May the best man win is the heartfelt prayer. So who is India going to vote for? Who will walk away with the title Indian Idol Bharat Ki Shaan? Will it be the cool cop from Darjeeling, Prashant Tamang or will it be the dark horse from Shillong, Amit Paul? Ab Bharat ki haathon mein hai Bharat ki Shaan!
There have been loads of excitement and drama at every Gala and buckets of tears shed during the Saturday eviction. The show & the viewers have lost some of its good singers to voting. As a run-up to the most exciting finale, it is going to be a week long celebration of Indian Idol on Sony Entertainment Television. Starting from September 17th to Sunday September 23rd, 2007 every night at 9.00 pm, Indian Idol will bring to viewers some exciting and never-seen-before excerpts from the musical journey and the dream run of Amit Paul and Prashant Tamang.
We showcase to the viewers the musical journey of Prashant Tamang of Darjeeling who bunked duty, (he is from the Kolkata police) to audition for the popular Indian Idol. Little did Prashant realize then, that reaching Indian Idol Top 2 will be a dream come true. Thanks to his Police force & loyal fans, who have supported him from the very beginning! Watch the true story of this modest young man and his rise to the top.
Recount the mind-blowing experience of Amit and Prashant in their respective home towns of Shillong and Darjeeling. Crowds came in mind boggling numbers, both young and old, thronging the homeward route for miles. In picturesque Darjeeling, the crowds went ballistic just to see their simple sepoy Prashant, who brought so much joy and cheer to their lives and made them so proud. While in Shillong, the mountains echoed with the sound of music, as Amit returned home like a hero… to be honored as the ambassador of peace and goodwill for Meghalaya.
We salute the honorable judges of Indian Idol whose months of hard work and training helped shortlist the country's best singing talent among thousands of aspirants. Their efforts will bring to the fore that ONE voice which becomes the voice of the nation. They were sometimes hard on them, sometimes showered them with praises…but never a moment when they missed their performances. Meet the jury behind Indian Idol 3.
The viewers will be treated to the rocking performance of Amit and Prashant in Kolkata, their last public performance before the grand finale.
Prashant & Amit will perform on the Indian Idol stage for the last time. Also, a sneak preview to the second season of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Dancing with the stars which goes on air from Friday September 28th.

It really feels like we've crossed a new threshold in the whole cloud conversation. In working with cloud delivery models, conversations with new perspective customers are continuing to increase. Organizations are realizing real business gains by moving a part of their environment into some kind of cloud platform.
As I walked through a customer's data center – we had a very interesting conversation. The topic revolved around deploying a series of new applications which were quite IO intensive. The saddened storage architect was now telling me he was being asked to do the last thing he really wanted to do – add more hardware.

Landscapes of Uncertainty in California
Posted on May 1, 2013 by Christine Eriksen
Post by Christine Eriksen and Michael Adams
Three weeks into our California fieldwork, the United States Senate failed to reform the country's gun laws (270 Americans are shot every day) and two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, tragically killing three people and injuring many others. For many people in the USA, uncertainty is part of the daily social fabric.

We were in the USA with several aims: to negotiate new international student exchanges as part of a UOW International Links Grant co-funded by the Faculty of Science; to participate with a group of AUSCCER researchers at the Association of American Geographers conference; to explore contemporary conservation initiatives and challenges, including Indigenous involvement and NGO conservation initiatives; and to continue research on wildfire and hunting.
While pursuing all these interests, we were repeatedly struck by dimensions of uncertainty in American life, some of which might be particularly acute in California.
Tsunami warning sign, Venice Beach, LA (photo: C Eriksen)
Dust storm, Owens Valley, CA (photo: M Adams)
We drove 2,000 miles, sometimes funnelled along at 75mph on Los Angeles' fearsome and crowded 12 lane freeways, and sometimes on remote backroads, across the San Andreas fault – one of the many fault lines that crisscross earthquake-prone California (see, Reisner 2004). Tsunami warning signs greeted us on Los Angeles' Venice Beach. Many times along Highways 395 and 10 we encountered the thousands of miles of aqueducts (the largest user of power in California) that flow through dust-billowing deserts that were once the rich agricultural hubs of, for example, Owens Valley and Mono Lake (see, Reisner 1993). Wildfire scars were evident across thousands of hectares of forest. These were all constant reminders that these really are landscapes of uncertainty.
View of aqueduct from Tejon Ranch (photo: M Adams)
Michael spent a day on the Tejon Ranch, which at 250,000 acres is the largest contiguous landholding in California. After a century of ranching, mining and development operations, Tejon has established a complex new environmental dimension in the form of the Tejon Conservancy. The Conservancy was negotiated between Tejon's owners and five major US and California environmental groups. In return for certainty for some development activities (particularly a billion dollar real estate project) the newly created Conservancy will manage conservation values across a landscape which links four major ecological regions. Funding for the Conservancy is linked to Tejon developments and is likely to reach $6m annually. The Conservancy reflects the global growth of private conservation activities – aspects of which are being studied in Australia by AUSCCER PhD student Heather Moorcroft. The agreement commits to the continuation of some ranch-wide activities, including hunting through which Tejon earns up to two million dollars annually.
Christine guest lectured at California State University, Chico in one of the few pyro-geography courses taught at university undergraduate level worldwide. Like many parts of Australia, wildfire is an annual occurrence in California. In both countries the ability of people to coexist with fire at the wildland-urban interface causes much debate and consternation. Christine presented on the challenges of preparing, responding and recovering from wildfire amongst contemporary landholders in California and New South Wales – a key theme in her forthcoming book.
In California (as in Australia) water and fire are closely interlinked ecological and social systems. When one is out of balance, the other often is too. On April 20th the front and back pages of the Los Angeles Times reported on the "girding of fire fighters for battle" as Southern California heads for its fourth-driest year since 1877. The contradictions within California's water politics feature starkly in the article through two opposing views. On the one hand the general manager of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California expresses a lack of concern for water supply due to stored water from stronger rain years. On the other hand, a quote by worried farmers from the increasingly parched regions that supply most of the water to the Los Angeles metropolis display tough everyday realities: "When you're a farmer in Central California, you absolutely watch the water as much as you watch your kids".
Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve (photo: C Eriksen)
While water is often taken for granted, fire is a constant filled with uncertainties. These themes form a key part of both Don Hankins' pyro-geography course at CSU, Chico and the associated environmental management efforts at the CSU, Chico Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve and Butte Creek Ecological Preserve with whom we met to discuss student exchange and service learning opportunities.
Reservation map, Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
Driving from meetings at UC San Diego to Joshua Tree National Park, we discovered a fascinating case study about Native Americans, land and water in the California deserts. Entering Palm Springs from the surrounding desert is a surreal experience – bright green irrigated lawns, expensive cars, up-market resort and spa accommodation, and thousands of palm trees in a flat landscape surrounded by arid mountains. This is the traditional country of the Cahuilla Indians. Like Native American tribes across the USA, the Agua Caliente Band of the Cahuilla Indians has faced wide-ranging environmental, social and economic uncertainty. When the US government pushed settlement and development into the country of the Cahuilla Indians in the 1870s, they surveyed and subdivided the region (of current-day Palm Springs) into a grid of square mile plots. The odd-numbered lots were given to the railway company as a development incentive, and the Agua Caliente Band was allocated the even-numbered lots as an Indian Reservation. This halving and chequerboard exercise was one of many tactics to dispossess and disempower California Indians, whose manifest destiny was to be swept away by the wave of new settlement.
View of downtown Palm Springs from Tahquitz Canyon (photo: C Eriksen)
At Palm Springs, however, a long history of resistance and skilled negotiation by Cahuilla leaders meant that most of the chequerboard of Native American-allocated lands was retained. As Palm Springs eventually developed into an expensive resort destination, the Agua Caliente Band became the single largest landholder with billion-dollar real estate enterprises based on leasing what became downtown lots. The Cahuilla name for Palm Springs is Sec-he (boiling water) after the natural hot springs. The name "Palm Springs" refers to both the native Washingtonia filifera palm tree and the Agua Caliente Hot Spring that underpins the basis for the success of the resort still owned by the Cahuilla community. Other water sources for the town are similarly based on California Indian lands.
Washingtonia filifera palm tree, Indian Canyons (photo: C Eriksen)
Like most places in California, Native American presence in Palm Springs is largely invisible, unless you go to the surrounding dry country, where Tribal Rangers manage cultural and environmental values in the undeveloped Indian Canyons, Tahquitz Canyon and adjacent mountain lands. These lands and their function are similar to Australia's Indigenous Protected Areas, but are funded mostly from California Indian generated income sources. They form part of the multi-tenure Santa Rosa and San Jocinto Mountains National Monument, with California Indian landowners supporting public access to parts of their lands.
Opportunities abound from our month in California. There are many exciting ways to develop new and existing teaching and research links to landscapes of uncertainties. We look forward to sharing eventual outcomes with you in future blog posts.

I have been passionate about computer science & technology as these helps do the work smarter & better, being from the computer science background helped me understand the business & the market trends, thus I was able to articulate the business problems, conceive & perceive the solutions for the problems. I have started as a systems engineer and grown up into a senior executive level by learning a lot about various technologies & implementing them for customers solving their business needs. One has to keep learning & never stop the process of acquiring right knowledge throughout the career in order to succeed at a bigger platform.
Early mornings are the best time to plan the work for the day, this is when I start charting out the tasks and prepare my schedule for the day based on the value-adding priorities, though I start my work at office around 10am a bit late as I do work late in the evenings to catch up with global colleagues and suit their time zones. Quick stand-up meetings & strategic meetings with various teams are part of my workday, checking the progress on various projects & making sure we produce quality work effectively.
iPhone, iPad & MacBook; Skype & WhatsApp are regular used for effective communication across different teams.
Plan, Prepare, Produce & Progress.
I do plan for 80% of my time every morning, however 20% of my time is always kept open for any unforeseen requirements that I might have to address, thus I focus on the tasks that have more priority & added value.
I hate waiting for something to get finished, thought I have lot of patience, however I tend to be restless if things doesn't move as planned.
Take deep breath or learn about the technology trends & evolutions in the market.
Balance personal & professional life, don't take either for granted.
Enable & Empower people around us, help & guide them & let them win big to achieve bigger goals.
When people give lame excuses why they couldn't finish a task.
When people don't try to make things happen.
I do read & learn every evening, I make a point to learn something new everyday.
Be Positive, Be Proactive, you'll be ahead all the time….
Don't work to impress someone, work passionately & have humility towards others.


I recently purchased a roll of Verichrome Pan that expired in 1961. I used it in my 1957 Nomad 127. Very excited with the results.
I received this Kodak Jr. a gift. I used 120 film on a 620 spool.
I recently bought a Brownie Imperial 620 with an exposed roll of Kodak Verichrome Pan 620 inside. Film was processed and I've started printing the images I found. I'll be looking inside every old camera I see from now on!


Marking the start of a brand new series of releases for Monika, City Splits Vol.1 runs in parallel with the label's popular 4 Women No Cry compilations, but rather than collecting artists from different parts of the globe, this series draws together talents from the same city, united under the billing of being two of that city's most exciting burgeoning talents. "Having recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of reunification and the fall of the Wall, Berlin was a logical choice for the 1st installment of City Splits: #1 presents two interesting female musician-producers who live and work in the German capital. What Golden Diskó Ship and Jasmina Maschina have in common, other than the fact that they tour as a double-bill each not only supporting but playing on stage with the other, is their standing in the Berlin scene. Despite their very different musical styles they both have strong followings certainly in their home towns and, looking at their relentless tour-schedule, presumably from further a field too."


The iPad understands MPEG4 (aka .mp4) files and some kinds of QuickTime files. The best video format to use for iPad is MP4 so that the video can be used on other devices in future. QuickTime Pro (version 7 is best) has several options for saving iPhone optimised video, which works well on iPad. See example below.
The iPad screen is 1024×768 (horizontal) or 768×1024 (vertical) - this is an aspect of 4:3 (or 3:4) - like 'old' TV. Widescreen video for 'new' TV is 16:9. The iPad can show 16:9 video but it will have black bars top and bottom. The 16:9 video can be cropped to be 4:3 BUT the video should be framed so that the left and right edges will be chopped off.
For video on the iPad we recommend the end file be either 512×384 (horizontal) or 384×512 (vertical). We get the iPad to double the video so it fills the screen - the iPad has a chip for video doubling so the results are free of resizing artefacts.
iPad magazines can be quite big, up to 500 MB for pages, slideshows and video (although we do advise to keep the size of your magazine to a minimum for a more user friendly experience). So there is plenty of room for video. In order to conserve space, use a bit rate of 500 kpbs.
The style/length of video really depends on the subject matter. short sequences work well for instructions e.g. how to chop an onion. Longer sequences such as movie trailer work well too. Any single video above 5 mins may be better in a different app which is video-centric (Oomph allows this) or can be streamed from online.
Portrait video, especially with a person talking to camera looks great, but does involve some extra post production.


This blog is a continuation from "A Child Is Born," it should be read first. Really all 4 blogs associated with this series should be read for full understanding. Here they are.
Who Are The "Male Child"?
This very popular "sound-byte" is not about Yeshua (aka Jesus) at all; it is about the birth of Yehovah's new and spiritual son, Israel (the plural "he"). This false image in our minds comes from treating the NT commentaries as Yehovah's word, which is nothing more than doctrines and traditions of men given to us by the Catholic church in the 4th century.
The male-child, these set-apart sons of Yehovah are those who will reign on the earth for the next 1000 years. Remember, they are redeemed from the earth and never die.
Who is us? The "us" are Yehovah's people, the Ezrach (native born) and the Gerim (strangers who dwell with them), His men (who have wives, children and servants). But the woman who is bearing the male child is not a woman at all. She is Yehovah bride, His son, His Ezrach, Israel. Who produces seed after their own kind.
This young male child is Yehovah's Ezrach men, His born in the land spiritual sons who are born at Passover and who will begin to rule the earth after He sets them apart. They are not a physical born child at all, but rather a new and spiritually born creation in the earth.
Zion and Jerusalem are Yehovah's male-child who will be joined with all those who come to them. Everyone who fails to join them will be destroyed in the last days.
The male child will be Yehovah's wise counselor for all who call on them.
When we (Israel) came out of Egypt the 1st time, the warriors were about 600,000 strong.
These mighty, warrior men are heroes and chiefs that can not be killed. They speak and act on Yehovah's behalf. They are the elohim [See part 3 of this series.] who judge their people as Moses judged us in the wilderness.
everlasting father [אביעד, a-vi-Ad – father of eternity], prince [שׂר, Sar] of peace [שׁלום, sha-Lom].
As Adam was the father of the antediluvian (pre-flood) world and Noah was the father of this world it only makes sense that the righteous male-child provides the seed for the millennium kingdom; they, like Noah, walked with Elohim. And now that the world is right-side-up and Yehovah once again reigns on the earth; so His seed, His sons, will be the prince of peace all over the earth.
Of the increase of Yehovah's government and peace there will be no end. Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever.
Yeshua did not bring this kind of peace; if he had the world would not be in the condition it is in now. But the moment the male child is born and then set apart to Yehovah with a pillar of fire over each of their heads all over the earth we will see this kingdom (which was previously in the hearts of His men/warriors, His giv-vo-Rim) become an eternal reality. This moment really is the start of the millennial kingdom in my mind.
Hollowed be thy name , O Yehovah, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done!
The zeal of Yehovah of hosts will perform this.
Yehovah always fulfills His word, what He says, He does. And He will use His mighty warriors, His host, His male child to fulfill His word.
Men, now is the time to make yourself 100% Yehovah's by leaving the kingdom of your birth and then come into covenant with Yehovah at Passover; and in doing so, you too can become His spiritually born seed.

D-Serine is a key determinant of glutamate toxicity in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Jumpei Sasabe, Tomohiro Chiba, Marina Yamada, Koichi Okamoto, Ikuo Nishimoto, Masaaki Matsuoka, Sadakazu Aiso
Excitotoxicity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). More recently, glial involvement has been shown to be essential for ALS-related motoneuronal death. Here, we identified an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor co-agonist, D-serine (D-Ser), as a glia-derived enhancer of glutamate (Glu) toxicity to ALS motoneurons. Cell death assay indicated that primary spinal cord neurons from ALS mice were more vulnerable to NMDA toxicity than those from control mice, in a D-Ser-dependent manner. Levels of D-Ser and its producing enzyme, serine racemase, in spinal cords of ALS mice were progressively elevated, dominantly in glia, with disease progression. In vitro, expression of serine racemase was induced not only by an extracellular pro-inflammatory factor, but also by transiently expressed G93A-superoxide dismutase1 in microglial cells. Furthermore, increases of D-Ser levels were also observed in spinal cords of both familial and sporadic ALS patients. Collectively, Glu toxicity enhanced by D-Ser overproduced in glia is proposed as a novel mechanism underlying ALS motoneuronal death, and this mechanism may be regarded as a potential therapeutic target for ALS.

Q: Conky: attempt to compare number with nil I'm trying to make my own conky script, and I'm having some trouble with a script I'm using. The script is this one. This is the problematic part:
{
    name="diskio_read",
    arg="/dev/nvme0n1",
    max=100,
    width=85,
    height=110,
    y=505,
    x=25,
    nb_values=100,
    bg_colour={{0,0x000000,0}},
    fg_bd_colour = { {0,0x49a835,1}, },
    foreground=false,
    fg_bd_size=0.7,
    bg_bd_size=0.5,
},

The error it generates:
conky: llua_do_call: function conky_main execution failed: attempt to compare number with nil

The thing is that I have enabled format_human_readable = true, thus causing diskio_read to return a value with unit. Now, I have enabled format_human_readable because in I use ${mem} and ${memmax}.
My question is if there is any way to convert any number or variable (for example, ${mem}) from a raw number to a human readable number. That way, I can keep format_human_readable = false and avoid having troubles with the lua scripts.
The other way around would be to convert from a human readable number to a raw number, and instead leave format_human_readable = true and modify the value that I give to the scripts.
Here are the scripts and configs:
conky.conf
loadAll.lua
bar.lua
graph.lua
this is how the script looks as is:
