1. Syracuse, Ortygia and Noto Full-Day Tour from Catania
Learn the ancient history of Sicily on a full-day sightseeing tour that takes you to the archaeological park of Neapolis where you can visit classical monuments of Greek and Roman Syracuse at your own pace on a self-guided tour. Following a pick-up from your accommodation in Catania, transfer to the ruins of Syracuse, now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During your walk, discover many old Roman streets, as well as monuments such as the Greek Theatre, whose cavea is one of the largest ever built by the ancient Greeks. Near the Greek Theatre, you will see the latomie, including the limestone cave known as the "Ear of Dyonisius," as well as the Christian Church of San Nicolò ai Cordari. Admire the Amphitheatre of the Roman imperial age, and more. Then, continue to Ortygia Island to experience the historic heart of Syracuse. Located at the park's eastern end, and separated by a narrow channel, Ortygia is filled with Greek temples, Christian churches, and Arabian streets. Visit the Arethusa fountain and Piazza del Duomo, where the baroque palaces, such as Beneventano del Bosco Palace and Senate Palace are among the most beautiful in Sicily. After lunch (own expense), go to the small town of Noto, noted for its unique style of Sicilian Baroque architecture, and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002. Wander the open-air museum and beautiful Corso Vittorio Emanuele to admire the many palaces and churches that, grouped together, are known as the "Stone Garden."
2. Noto, Modica and Ragusa: The Baroque Tour from Catania
The first stop on this 8-hour tour is Noto, the Garden of Stone, noted for its Baroque heritage. After the massive 1693 earthquake, Noto was rebuilt on Meti Hill. The town's origins date to the Early Bronze Age. Continue to Modica and visit the oldest chocolate factory in Sicily. The city also has a rich history and a wonderful architectural heritage. See the cathedrals of San Giorgio and San Pietro and the Palazzo Polara and Palazzo Napolino-Tommasi Rosso, among others. Ragusa was added to the UNESCO World Heritage in 2002 for its monuments of the late Baroque period. Visit examples of this style including its cathedrals and palaces.
3. Catania: Syracuse, Ortigia and Noto Transfer and Tour
After being picked up from your accommodation in Catania, visit the magnificent Neapolis in Syracuse.

Or, if you prefer, you will have 1-hour of free time to have lunch in one of the amazing restaurants in the alleys of the city. Upon reaching Noto, you will explore this jewel of Sicilian Baroque architecture, which is often considered to be an open-air museum.

We were able to book this tour from Taormina. It was an extra long drive, but just outstanding. All three towns are different, but all were not to be missed. If your just thinking about going to Noto, don't. Ragusa and Monica are wonderful. Allisio was an outstanding guide, knowledgeable and considerate in every way. He added greatly to the tour with his knowledge of the area and its history. Don't miss this one.

Q: GPS Info Sent to port 5556 I'm not sure if this is relevant to this site or not, if not I apologize.
I have a GPS device that's transmitting its coordinates to my server on port 5556. I know that its succeeding at doing this because I installed netcat and its monitoring this port, it does return a string.
How can I capture whats returning and utilize it via PHP? I was thinking I could perhaps use AJAX to do a shell_exec netcat and then assign whatever returns to a string, but there are a couple issues with this, specifically it could take up to 60 seconds for a string to return. Am I going about this the wrong way? Perhaps there's tools to listen to 5556 and then return it? Any advice would help Thank you!

A: If your gps device is supported by gpsd you're best off setting up that. The source distribution comes with a PHP sample as well, you can see the source at http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/gpsd/tree/gpsd.php

As criminal probes advanced, Whitaker met with Trump, Kushner
Saturday, Dec 8 2018
Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker met with President Donald Trump and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner on the morning of December 7, hours before federal prosecutors released three briefs recounting crimes and misconduct by Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort and personal attorney Michael Cohen.
Cameron Joseph of Talking Points Memo saw Kushner and Whitaker boarding Marine One, the helicopter carrying the president, around 9:00 am. The meeting was improper because Whitaker will continue to oversee special counsel Robert Mueller for at least another month.
Kushner and Trump are both potentially implicated in crimes Mueller is investigating, related to a possible conspiracy between Russian entities seeking to influence the 2016 election and individuals tied to Trump's campaign. Although Mueller heavily redacted sentencing memos released this week regarding Cohen and Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn, legal commentators agree signs point to serious jeopardy for the president and his closest associates.
In addition, U.S. attorneys in New York contend that Cohen committed campaign finance felonies "in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1" (a reference to the president).
Former federal prosecutor and University of Alabama law professor Joyce Vance commented wryly,
Loretta Lynch's brief Tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton sent the GOP into a frenzy, so surely, there will be intense outrage that the son-in-law of a president, who is under investigation along with him, invited the AG heading the investigation to fly with him on Marine 1. https://t.co/VosxsU9Bwy
— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) December 7, 2018
Indeed, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley has sharply criticized President Barack Obama's Attorney General Lynch on numerous occasions for speaking with Clinton (for example, here and here). Grassley also argued that Lynch should recuse herself from any investigation related to Hillary Clinton because of that ill-advised conversation with Bill Clinton.
At this writing, neither Grassley nor any other prominent Republican has criticized Whitaker's latest meeting with Kushner and Trump or demanded that Whitaker recuse himself from contact with Mueller's investigation.
Whitaker's stint as acting attorney general–a position to which he was unlawfully appointed–will likely end sometime next month. Trump confirmed on December 7 that his choice for attorney general is William Barr, who served in that role under President George H.W. Bush and is known for his expansive view of executive power.
The U.S. Senate won't act on Barr's nomination until the new Congress convenes in January, Grassley said in a written statement. (By that time, Iowa's senior senator will have moved into a leadership role on the Finance Committee.) Waiting will allow Barr's confirmation to proceed more smoothly. The new Senate will have 53 Republicans (up from 51 now), and the Judiciary Committee will be free of retiring GOP Senator Jeff Flake, who has held up a number of nominations since the November election.
In a speech on December 7, Whitaker praised Barr as an "excellent choice" to lead the Justice Department. Senator Joni Ernst told Iowa reporters the same day, "I am not sure where [Whitaker] is going to land […] But I am sure he would take it as it comes and I am sure he will land on his feet."
No doubt that Marine One huddle with Trump and Kushner will help Whitaker secure another plum job–perhaps replacing Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, if the Senate confirms Barr. Rosenstein has not exercised his authority to fire the special counsel. On the contrary, he has defended and protected Mueller's role, despite Trump's many complaints about a "witch hunt." But Barr–like Whitaker–has publicly criticized the Mueller investigation and hyped alleged misconduct by Hillary Clinton.
UPDATE: Vance appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program on December 10. Host Joe Scarborough commented that Whitaker's action was "even worse" than Bill Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch, which led to much of the media "freaking out." Vance replied,
Yeah, it's actually entirely different situations. Lynch's, I think, just random meeting with President Clinton on the tarmac came near the end of that investigation. Whereas Kushner, who's clearly in the lens right now, with no decisions made, invited the acting attorney general to join him on Marine One. There should be outrage and uproar and a call for the acting attorney general to recuse from further participation in the investigation.
Still haven't seen Grassley or any other senior Republican condemn this meeting.
Meanwhile, Whitaker is reportedly a possible candidate to replace John Kelly as White House chief of staff, now that Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff Nick Ayers has taken himself out of the running. Katie Rogers, Maggie Haberman, and Annie Karni reported for the New York Times on December 10 that "nearly every West Wing staff member" has said Whitaker "could not be a realistic option" for chief of staff, but Trump likes him personally.

… not even a note goodbye.
Today, my wife needed to be in the city for work, so after dropping her off at the train station, I stopped for a bagel at my normal spot, Bagels-4-U of Denville. They usually open at 5:30 and by now it was about 7 am, so when I found the doors locked and the lights off, I was surprised. Then I noticed that the window signs had been taken down and that there was a step ladder visible inside… Not a good sign.
A quick call to the Bagels-4-U headquarters and discussion with the man who answered revealed that the Denville location has indeed been closed due to lack of business, and that the last day was this past Sunday, April 21, 2013. I told him how much they would be missed and wished them success with the other locations. In my opinion, they had the best bagels in town… hand rolled, perfect New York style with a great crust. You used to be able to see them being made with care in the giant kettle and oven right when you walked into the place. I don't know where I am going to go for my bagels now; all of the other bagel shops in town I have tried are lacking in comparison.
Bagels-4-U does have a number of other locations throughout New Jersey, so if you use one of the other ones, make sure to give them some extra lovin' this month.
This really ruined my morning. Support your local small businesses!
Stopping here in the morning before work actually made me look forward to getting up early, and I was never a morning person. They will definitely be missed!!
So very sad. They were a Sunday morning staple since our first son was born. We had our favorite table and had our routine down to a science. They truly made the best bagels in town.
My kids will miss waving to the nice bagel man!
"Support your local small businesses" – this is so through; it employs people and keeps people busy in their own neighborhood. Without having to go to the city for the bigger stores etc. Also in the Netherlands this applies.
I understood what you meant… In fact, your English is better than many people in my own country, so don't worry about it, George! Also – thanks for the comment from the Netherlands, you're the first person to leave one from there that I know of!

*********************
Nova Rolling Upgrade
*********************

Before and After Upgrade Testing
--------------------------------

* Run Tempest smoke test
* Verify Nova services are up and running

.. code-block:: bash

   $ openstack compute service list
   Verify services are up
      nova-conductor
      nova-scheduler
      nova-consoleauth
      nova-compute

* Persistent resources test suite – verify on a created VM:
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions.ServerActionsTestJSON.test_pause_unpause_server
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions.ServerActionsTestJSON.test_suspend_resume_server
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions.ServerActionsTestJSON.test_shelve_unshelve_server -- ** check if OSA config has shelve, also set tempest CONF.compute_feature_enabled.shelve
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_rescue.ServerRescueTestJSON.test_rescue_unrescue_instance
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_rescue.ServerRescueTestJSON.test_rescued_vm_add_remove_security_group
   * tempest.scenario.test_server_multinode.TestServerMultinode.test_schedule_to_all_nodes -- **Tested as part of the smoke test**
   * tempest.scenario.test_server_basic_ops.TestServerBasicOps.test_server_basic_ops -- **Tested as part of the smoke test**

* ssh into the VM (tempest hint - set CONF.validation.run_validation to true)
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_create_server.ServersTestJSON.test_host_name_is_same_as_server_name
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_create_server.ServersTestJSON.test_verify_created_server_vcpus
   * tempest.api.compute.servers.test_create_server.ServersTestJSON.test_verify_server_details

During Upgrade Testing
----------------------

What tests would your team want executed during a rolling upgrade?

* nova.servers.list (via python client call) - Every second
* nova.servers.create then nova.servers.delete (via python client call) - Wait up to 15 seconds for VM spinning, waits for resouce delete to complete.
* Metric: Overall Downtime. Know when downtime occurred (might be mapped to the actual OSA task being performed at the time downtime started).

Rolling Upgrade Steps
---------------------

1. Deploy previous stable release (i.e. to test Newton, first deploy Mitaka)

  a) Verify the system is working (i.e. tempest smoke test)
  b) Ensure there is sufficient nova-conductor capacity for the extra upgrade
     related load
  c) Read the release notes for the new release, to see if there are any
     release specific tasks that are required for your chosen configuration.

2. Do pre-maintenance window steps, expect zero API downtime

  a) Update venv (i.e. new code and dependencies)
  b) Run DB expansion (nova-manage db sync; nova-manage api_db sync)
     Its possible this may affect performance, but it should not cause
     any operations to fail.

3. Do maintenance window steps, expect API downtime

  a) Stop all services (running the old code), except nova-compute.
     For maximum safety (no failed API operations), drain connections
     to API nodes, then SIG_TERM (i.e. gracefully stop) all the services.
  b) Start all services, with ``[upgrade_pin]compute=auto.``
     It is safest to start nova-conductor first and nova-api last.

4. Do more maintenance window steps, expect some delayed API actions

  a) In small batches gracefully shutdown nova-compute (i.e. SIG_TERM),
     then start the new version of the code with:
     ``[upgrade_pin]compute=auto``
     Note this is done in batches so only a few compute nodes will have
     any delayed API actions, and to ensure there is enough capacity online
     to service any boot requests that happen during this time.
  b) Note there is no upgrade of the hypervisor here, this is just upgrading
     the nova services. Some users choose to live-migrate all instances from
     old nodes to new nodes to do both of these things at the same time.
  c) Once all services are running the new code, double check in the DB
     that there are no old orphaned service records (TODO - provide script)
  d) Now SIG_HUP all services, to reset the min_service_version cache,
     to make new features available.
     (TODO - rollback could be possible before you do this step)

5. Prepare for the next upgrade

  a) Complete all online data migrations by doing:
     ``nova-manage db online_data_migrations --limit <number>``
     Note you can use the limit argument to reduce the load this operation
     will place on the database.
  b) Look for deprecated features and configuration options, and update
     the configuration files to remove them all. All options should be
     supported for one cycle, but should be removed before your next
     upgrade is performed.

OSA Syc Up
------------

Current upgrade script: https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible/blob/master/scripts/run-upgrade.sh

* Installs distro packages
* create ssh keys
* Upgrade ansible packages
* Get nova ansible role - https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_nova
* Perform infrastructure upgrade
* Setup Nova via ansible role https://github.com/openstack/openstack-ansible-os_nova/blob/master/tasks/main.yml

From QA perspective: Nova rolling upgrade happens as an end to end process - stepping would be OSA task stepping not Nova rolling upgrade stepping.

I wouldn't change one thing about our Grand Canyon rafting trip.
Previous to my recent July Colorado River trip I had never white water rafted before so I was a little anxious about the larger rapids. There was nothing to be concerned about because our guides Kelly and Nate and Evan and Jason handled everything extremely well including our motor breaking down just as we were about to enter a rapid. In addition to their boat handling skills, they were great cooks and entertainers and all round great people.
What a grand adventure this trip was. I will never forget the new friends made, sleeping under the stars every night, the incredible food and good times my husband and I had. I can't think of one thing I would change; it was all incredible!!!


Architectural Engineering concentrate on the engineering elements of structures; they create the structural systems, the mechanical systems, and the lighting and electrical systems of structures, while taking on the obstacles connected to handling the building procedure. This makes architectural engineering a perfect occupation for people with strong mathematics and science abilities who have an interest in the developed environment in basic and structures in specific. While architectural engineers deal with designers, they are engineers and not designers.
Architectural engineering is a difficult profession field that needs a strong grasp of physics, geometry and calculus. The field of architectural engineering isn't really all simply calculations and numbers; students likewise generally need to discover about art, design, history and the liberal arts, topics that assist them comprehend architecture on a broad basis and help with interaction with other experts.
Architectural engineering is a diverse discipline checking out how the building, design and operation of a structure come together. Engineers focus in lots of locations; lighting, heating, cooling, ventilation, fire and sustainability security are simply some possibilities. Unlike designers that normally integrate visual and design issues, architectural engineers focus more on structure and stability.
As an architectural engineer, you work with designers to make sure the strategy is structurally possible by using engineering understanding and methods. You might work on brand-new building jobs or restorations to existing structures.
Architectural engineers design and develop centers that enhance our standard of life and lifestyle. They are imaginative issue solvers satisfying the difficulties of energy requirements, constructing systems, city advancement, and neighborhood preparation. As an architectural engineer, you can develop visual and practical lighting options produce structures prepared to stand up to earthquakes and other natural catastrophes, or create budget-friendly green innovation to power, heat, and cool houses, workplaces, and big centers with energy from the sun.
An architectural engineer is not a designer, however she or he works carefully with them and others associated with structure construction. The information that an architectural engineer takes care of for example following state policies about such things as the range in between an exit door and a workplace.
Architectural engineers provide their competence to the building of a structure by ensuring that the real design and building of a structure mirror the architectural illustrations. They are likewise accountable for supervising the lighting, air, heating and ventilation conditioning components of a building, in addition to electrical work and structural building.
Architectural engineering includes the analysis and design of physical things (structures, bridges, devices supports, walls and towers). Architectural Engineers often practice structural as one element of their designs; the structural discipline when practiced as a specialized works carefully with designers and other engineering experts.
In some nations, the practice of architecture consists of preparation, supervising the structure and developing building, and architecture, as a career supplying architectural services, is described as "architectural engineering". In Japan, a "first-rate designer" plays the dual function of designer and structure engineer, although the services of a certified "structural design excellent designer" are needed for structures over a specific scale.
There are a number of resemblances in between the occupations of architectural engineering and architecture and students may study some of the exact same subjects, their focus is various. A designer creates structures with a concentrate on visual appeals and function, while an architectural engineer produces the designs for systems to support the structure and its operation, such as cooling and heating, structural assistance and lighting.
Architectural engineering need five-year programs and both result in a bachelor's degree. In addition to architecture, an architectural engineering student needs to study the engineering elements of structure design and building, consisting of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.
Architectural engineers should finish at least one year and often 3 years of internship under the guidance of a knowledgeable specialist in their field. The internship enables them to find out how to integrate varied structure design aspects or systems into an incorporated whole.
The structure market is comprised of numerous expert groups: designers, designers, engineers and building groups. Architectural engineers concentrate on the technical elements of architecture, consisting of the structural stability and durability of structures, and the convenience and health of those who inhabit structures.
Architectural engineers use engineering concepts to the building, preparation, and design of structures and other structures. The architectural engineers are accountable for the various systems within a complex, structure, or structure.

A President for Europe: The Boardgame
Spoofer's Guide to the Lisbon Treaty
Great books: Things can only get better.
Posted by Jason O on Sep 1, 2011 in Books, British Politics
I can't say enough about this book!
If you ever spent any time in British or Irish politics at branch and street level, you'll love "Things can only get better" by John O'Farrell. In fact, it is, along with Joe Klein's "Politics Lost" and Mark Steel's "Reasons to be cheerful", one of my all time favourite political books.
Managing to be thoughtful, touching and laugh out loud funny, O'Farrell describes his time in Labour, starting out as a young idealistic left wing activist in 1979, and ending up a middle class middle aged Blairite on the eve of Labour's 1997 landslide. He tells of how the Labour left, with the best of intentions, put ideological purity ahead of winning support in the country, and of how even left wingers like him came around to the fact that all political activists come to realise: That you have to change to suit the voters, not the other way around. But what really makes the book so enjoyable are the stories of canvassing and branch meetings which can translate to any party.
Featured is the branch meeting where you're terrified that a new member will meet the resident nutcase and leg it, never to be seen again, or the fact that the committee writes to the same 100 members only to get the same six committee members at the next meeting, or the member who is obsessed with a single issue which they shoehorn into every debate. They're all here, and they're all familiar to hacks from wherever on the political spectrum you come from. Great fun.

Q: How to pass a hash as optional argument to -M in command line I know that when we need to pass some arguments to the use keyword after a package name we can pass them in the command line after the -M parameter.
For example:
use feature 'say';
say 'hello!';

can be invoked from the command line with
>perl -Mfeature=say -e"say 'hello!'"

But what if the argument is a hash? Can I make a one-liner for the following example:
use constant {c1 => 'foo', c2 => 'bar'};
use feature 'say';
say c1, c2; #expected: foobar

This does not work:
>perl -Mfeature=say -Mconstant={c1,'foo',c2,'bar'} -e"say c1,c2"
Constant name '{c1' has invalid characters at -e line 0.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Neither that:
>perl -Mfeature=say -Mconstant="c1,'foo',c2,'bar'" -e"say c1,c2"
'foo'c2'bar'c2

I know that I can add multiple -Mconstant=foo in the command line, but it is just an example; I have a package here that can take a hash at import and that I am trying to invoke from command-line.

A: Looking at perlrun use:
perl -Mfeature=say "-Mconstant {c1 => 'foo', c2 => 'bar'}" -e"say c1,c2"

Interview with Zamil Akhtar
When Zamil was fourteen, he moved from the dry, dune-spotted Arabian peninsula to the hilly, arctic wasteland that is Western Massachusetts. He despises the cold, isn't very fond of the sun, and prefers spending all day indoors mashing the keyboard in the hopes something great will come of it. When not dreaming up dark and fantastical journeys, he enjoys binging horror movies, wasting precious time arguing about international relations on Reddit, and occasionally traveling somewhere exotic. He currently lives in Dubai with his loving wife and his badly-behaved pet rabbit.
CONNECT WITH ZAMIL
Welcome to SPFM, Zamil! Since we already have your bio, describe yourself in three words.
Jean Luc Picard
Summarize your book, Gunmetal Gods, using one gif.
If you could recommend three self-published books, which would you choose and why?
A Wind from the Wilderness by Suzannah Rowntree – It's a Middle Eastern fantasy with excellent prose, intense battles, and time travel!
Balam, Spring by Travis M Riddle – It's like a slice-of-life Final Fantasy, but the best thing about it is how genuine the relationships between the characters feel.
All Around the Watchtower by Ben Haskett – No, not the similarly-named Jimi Hendrix song. This is a sci-fi novella with a mindbending story about astronauts who discover an alien remnant in space. I read it in one sitting.
What is your favorite part, and your least favorite part of self-publishing?
Favorite Part: Writing a novel and knowing that as long as you finish it, you can publish it and put it on your bookshelf.
Least Favorite Part: The need to constantly be "out there" releasing new stuff and posting on social media in order not to fade into obscurity.
How do you approach worldbuilding?
Worldbuilding to me is about combining the real with the strange. I like to take historical ideas and mash them up with fantastical ones. My worlds tend to have a veneer of familiarity that when peeled away reveals something awesome. For example, I have a city in Gunmetal Gods that resembles historical Istanbul/Constantinople with its spires and domes, but beneath the city is a labyrinth lit by fireflies and filled with djinns that the characters must traverse.
In fantasy, we need not be limited by conventions but rather by our imaginations. The technologies of today would seem like magic to someone who lived even a hundred years ago, so we shouldn't think anything is too fantastical because one day humans may exceed even that!
What's the first story you ever wrote?
I wrote a story about a boy who lives in a black and white world. He climbs a huge tower and finds a rainbow at the top, then uses his sword to pop the colors out of the rainbow and back into the world. Also, the boy's best friend falls off the tower to his death, which foreboded my writing to come.
What's your process for creating fully fleshed-out characters?
I don't relate to most fictional characters because they don't feel real. Protagonists tend to be too selfless, upstanding, and moral, and antagonists the opposite. For me, fleshed out means real psychology. For example, when I put my protagonists through a war, I show the real effects of that war on their personalities and behavior. They can't go around killing people and watching those around them die and not develop some trauma or coping mechanisms, which often makes them worse people.
To further this example, we tend to justify killing in war by saying the enemy are "evil" or "terrorists," but I believe this is a coping mechanism for us to avoid facing our guilt. Often these coping mechanisms develop into ideologies which then get embraced by entire communities who are carrying this collective guilt. These are the kinds of deeper themes I like to explore with my characters.
Also, I don't like the idea of heroes and villains. Two characters competing for the same thing means they are both the hero and the villain, depending on the perspective. You might be the hero of your own life, but you could be a villain from someone else's perspective, and everyone's perspective is valid because like in general relativity, there is no ultimate reference frame for humanity.
And this is why I write grimdark!
You feel uninspired and you've sat at the computer for an hour without conquering any words. How do you get your creativity flowing?
I take a walk while listening to my favorite JRPG music. It usually does the trick and evokes those classic feelings from my childhood when I would skip school to play Final Fantasy. This tends to get my brain dreaming the stories I want to write.
When I'm writing, however, I don't listen to music because I want to generate the emotions from the words themselves and not be fooled into thinking the words are generating the emotions when it's actually the music.
How did you know you wanted to write this genre?
I just want anything to be possible when I write a story. I don't want to be limited by silly things like science, historical accuracy, and the real world. I like my stories to start out grounded and then slowly take off in crazy but awesome directions.
Also, fantasy is the most flexible genre when it comes to mash ups. I love cosmic horror and hard sci-fi as well, and I can incorporate ideas from those genres in fantasy without anyone complaining. Rather, most fantasy readers love mash ups.
What's your social media platform of choice, and why?
I've been addicted to Reddit for ten years and I'm on there all day. I even have my own subreddit at r/zamakhtar and write horror for the r/nosleep community. I'm pretty active on r/fantasy as well. I tend to bounce around to different subreddits and just enjoy contributing to topics I'm interested in.
If you could have any superhero power, what power would you have and why?
If I could order my books to edit themselves that would save me all the time in the world. I could probably write a book a month and it would be wonderful! Even better, if my books could attain sentience like the teacups in Beauty and the Beast, that would be cool. But since I write grimdark, they might try to smother me in my sleep.
About Gunmetal Gods (Gunmetal Gods #1)
They took his daughter, so Micah comes to take their kingdom. Fifty thousand gun-toting paladins march behind him, all baptized in angel blood, thirsty to burn unbelievers.
Only the janissaries can stand against them. Their living legend, Kevah, once beheaded a magus amid a hail of ice daggers. But ever since his wife disappeared, he spends his days in a haze of hashish and poetry.
To save the kingdom, Kevah must conquer his grief and become the legend he once was. But Micah writes his own legend in blood, and his righteous conquest will stop at nothing.
When the gods choose sides, a legend will be etched upon the stars.

Terra Forming Terra: Where did Zika Virus Come from and Why is it a Problem in Brazil?
Mosquito borne disease vectors continue to plague us but also are susceptible to concentrated control measures. A global public health initiative is likely the surest way to ultimately minimize human exposure. We have not got to that yet but we will.
In the meantime we do have panic promotion out of the press.
I do not think Zita will amount to much. however we still have Malaria to defeat//v.
Countries and territories with active Zika virus transmission. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The World Health Organization says it is likely that the virus will spread, as the mosquitoes that carry the virus are found in almost every country in the Americas.
Aedes aegypti. Emil August Goeldi (1859-1917). via Wikimedia Commons. Zika has a lot in common with dengue and chikungunya, another emergent virus. All three originated from West and central Africa and Southeast Asia, but have recently expanded their range to include much of the tropics and subtropics globally. And they are all spread by the same species of mosquitoes.
The Swiss cheese model of accident causation. Davidmack via Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA One way to understand how Zika spread is to use something called the Swiss cheese model. Imagine a stack of Swiss cheese slices. The holes in each slice are a weakness, and throughout the stack, these holes aren't the same size or the same shape. Problems arise when the holes align.
A woman walks away from her apartment as health workers fumigate the Altos del Cerro neighborhood as part of preventive measures against the Zika virus and other mosquito-borne diseases in Soyapango, El Salvador January 21, 2016. Jose Cabezas/Reuters For instance, in Latin America, continental mosquito eradication campaigns in the 1950s and 1960s led by the Pan American Health Organization conducted to battle yellow fever dramatically shrunk the range of Aedes aegypti. Following this success, however, interest in maintaining these mosquito control programs waned, and between 1980 and the 2000s the mosquito had made a full comeback.

Q: Vue instance in double quotes I use vue instance but it is not parsing , i think problem is relevant with using double quotes in Metro.dialog.Create.content.
Here is the main page include table and it works correctly.I added when dblclick table on main page open dialog and another table showing in this dialog.
var app2= new Vue({
      el: '#appTable',
      data: {
          squads: [
          ]
      },
      mounted: function () {
          Metro.init();
          var self = this;
           $.ajax({
               url: '@Url.Action("Find", "Squad")',
               method: 'GET',
               success: function (data) {
                   self.squads = data;
               },
           });
      },
      methods:{
        clickList: function (squad) {
            bindSquadToEditTable(squad.ID);
            Metro.dialog.create({
                title: "Team",
                content:
                  '
'+
                     '

                       '

                         '
'+
                            '
'+
                            'Personal Code	'+
                             'Name	'+
                              'Email	'+
                               '
'+
                          '
'+
                       '
'+
                       "
  {{squad.PersonalCode}}	  {{squad.FullName}}	 {{squad.Email}}	"+
                        '

                        '

'+
                 '
',
            });
        }
      }
  });

That is my Main page;

            Code
            Description

                {{squad.Code}}	 {{squad.Description}}

Here is the binding data to dialog ;

A: I was curious how this would work so I threw together a quick test.  Worked fine using the hidden
 for the modal content.
HTML

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.metroui.org.ua/v4/css/metro-all.min.css">

      <input type="button" value="modal" @click="showModal" />

My name is {{name}}

Javascript
new Vue({
  el: "#app",
  data: {
        name: 'Sample User'
    },
  methods: {
    showModal: function() {
      Metro.dialog.create({
          title: "Modal Title",
          content: this.getModalContent
          });
    },
    getModalContent: function() {
        return this.$refs.modalContent.innerHTML;
    }
  }
});

A: I change the my opinion and i will implement modal in the script;

And this my openDialog function;
function openDialog(ID) {
     var html = $('#data-input-form-template').html();
     $('#data-input-form').html(html);
     app4 =  new Vue({
         el:'#data-input-form',
         data: function(){
             return {
                 squad: [{
                     members: []
                 }]
             }
         },
         mounted:function(){
             Metro.init();
             var self = this;
                 $.ajax({
                     type: "GET",
                     "url": '@Url.Action("FindByID", "Squad")',
                     "data": { id: ID },
                     "dataSrc": "",
                     success: function (data) {
                         self.squad = data;
                     },
                     error: function (error) {
                         alert(error);
                     }
                 });
         }
     });
    Metro.dialog.open('#demoDialog1');
}

Main Page html;

 src="#" />

        <form id="data-input-form">

Parasite Threats to our Dogs and Cats
With spring nearly done and the summer fast approaching, we need to be sure we are protecting our dogs and cats against warm weather health threats. Heartworms, fleas, ticks, and intestinal worms are the biggest parasite threats to our canine and feline family members. Luckily, there are better methods to prevent these pests than ever before, with many products to protect against multiple threats at the same time.
Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitos and are life-threatening if your dog or cat contracts them. Luckily, mosquitoes are far more common than heartworms in our state. Unfortunately, the most recent statistics from the Companion Animal Parasite Council indicates that there were at least 21 dogs that tested positive in Dane county this year so far. This means we are on the same pace to have a similar number of cases this year compared to last year, when at least 622 cases were recorded. Heartworm positive cases are frustrating because we have very good preventatives for this disease, all of which are reasonably priced (typically $5 – $6 per month). As a bonus, the heartworm preventatives that we recommend all prevent many intestinal parasites as well, so there is coverage against these threats for the same cost.
By far the most common threats that we face in Wisconsin are fleas and ticks. Although these pests are not life-threatening, they can carry diseases that can cause significant illness including Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Tapeworms, and Ehrlichiosis, some of which can transmit to people. Prevention of fleas and ticks will keep your pet and your home more comfortable and disease-free. There have been significant advances in flea and tick prevention in the past several years. Choices for flea and tick prevention include topical medications (including liquids and new generation collars) and newer oral medications.
The most frequently used flea and tick preventatives are the topical medications. Frequently mentioned topical liquid medications include Frontline, Revolution, Activyl, and Vectra. All of these medications share the same basic formula – the product is applied to the skin on the top of the pet and is translocated from this site to the rest of the body. Once this is done, these products last about 4 weeks. Each of the topical medications that are available have different characteristics in terms of which parasite they target best, durability of protection, safety to other animals, and cost.
Another form of topical medications are new generation flea and tick collars. These newer collars are vastly different from collars that have been previously available. Older collars were a piece of plastic with some active ingredient on the surface of the collar; they were good at keeping fleas and ticks off the collar but not the pet. The newest collars include more advanced medication that has been impregnated into the polymer of the collar. The collars will then release a small amount of the active ingredient with ongoing friction between the collar and the pet's coat and skin. These products will provide 6 to 8 months of very thorough protection against fleas and ticks, even with swimming and bathing (because the product will constantly renew the amount of medication on the dog or cat). These collars can repel fleas and ticks as well as kill them once on the pet. These collars are incredibly convenient, with no maintenance after the collar is placed.
The newest form of flea and tick prevention are the oral products. While we have had access to oral flea medications for several years, only in the past 18 months have we had medications that would kill both fleas and ticks. These medications are made into a soft treat that most dogs take willingly. Because the medication is circulated in the bloodstream, there is no chance for exposure of people in the home to the medications, making these ideal for homes with small children, though the lack of repellant action is a concern for some owners. These products are also very convenient, with brands that are given either once per month or once about every 3 months.
Intestinal parasites are a year-round threat to dogs and cats, though the prevalence is far greater in the warmer months. Luckily, most of the intestinal parasites that are of concern to use can controlled by one of the other parasite control products listed above. The heartworm prevention that we recommend is able to control many of the intestinal parasites that we encounter, while some of the flea and tick products can do the same.
If you have any questions about parasite threats to your dog or cat, please call us for a discussion on how to protect your pet best.

Canine Influenza reported in Dane County
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection released an alert indicating that there has been a confirmed case of Canine Influenza (CI) in Dane County. The confirmation was made this week. Based on the behavior of this outbreak in Chicago, we can expect a significant number of dogs to become infected.
CI is spread through dog to dog contact, and will transmit readily between dogs that are at dog parks, dog day care, boarding facilities, grooming facilities, or other congregation sites (competitions and dog shows, etc.). Detailed information regarding CI is posted on our website, and also available through the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) websites.
Vaccination is recommended for dogs that are are risk due to social behavior. The vaccine can provide full protection from the disease, but not always. The vaccine is effective at reducing the duration of illness and degree of virus spread in most dogs, but it is important to note that a dog must receive 2 doses of vaccine, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart, before protection can begin; full protection may not be achieved for 4 weeks.
Please call the Sun Prairie Pet Clinic if you have any questions about this emerging threat to our canine family members.
By Chris Vitale|April 8th, 2015|Canine Influenza, News|
Currently Sun Prairie Pet Clinic is closely monitoring the incidence of a Canine Influenza outbreak that is taking place in Chicago.
Canine Influenza (CI), also known as 'dog flu' is an influenza virus that was first recognized as a novel canine disease in 2004. The initial cases involved racing Greyhounds in Florida; since that time there have been cases recorded in 30 states, with the disease now recognized as endemic (meaning it is now a commonly noted disease) in parts of Colorado, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Similar to other influenza viruses, CI has been classified based on its unique structure; the CI that is responsible for the current outbreak is labeled H3N8. Unlike other influenza viruses (like H1N1 in people), the canine influenza virus does not appear to have the ability to infect other species at this time. There is another distinct canine influenza (H3N2) that has been identified in Asia; there are no reports of H3N2 outside of Asia and no reports of H3N8 outside of the United States.
CI is a particularly difficult disease to contain because it is extremely easy to transmit from dog-to-dog. The virus is transmitted through the respiratory secretions of infected dogs as well as through contaminated objects. This virus will remain alive and potentially infectious on hard surfaces for 48 hours, on clothing for 24 hours, and on hands for 12 hours. An infected dog is potentially contagious to other dogs for several days before ever showing symptoms. Because of this, outbreaks are typically swift and severe, with virtually all non-vaccinated exposed dogs expected to become infected.
Once exposed, most dogs (about 80%) will show symptoms; the other 20% that do not can still transmit the virus. Most dogs (over 90%) will show only mild symptoms of CI. Mild cases will typically show a cough that persists 10 – 21 days despite antibiotics and cough suppressants, runny nose and eyes, sneezing, lethargy, and a decrease in appetite. The cough that is seen can be a dry hacking cough or a more moist productive cough. A small percentage of infected dogs (less than 10%) will show a severe form of the disease, which includes pneumonia, high grade fever (usually from 104° to 106° F), and rapid breathing. In approximately 2% of infected dogs, the disease has been fatal. There is no specific treatment for CI. Severe cases benefit from hospitalization for supportive care (which could include nutritional support, oxygen therapy, IV antibiotics, among other things); mild cases will frequently convalesce and recover at home with nursing care from the owner.
There is a vaccine available for H3N8 Canine Influenza. This vaccine may not prevent infection completely, but is has been shown to be very effective at reducing the severity and duration of the illness. Additionally, the vaccine has shown to reduce the amount of virus that is transmitted from a patient as well as the duration of time that the virus is transmitted. Dogs that have access to other dogs in a social or working situation (dogs that visit dog parks, dog care care, dogs that are kenneled or boarded, show dogs or dogs that compete in agility or other competitions) are considered at risk and the use of this vaccine should be considered for them.
There are no confirmed cases of Canine Influenza in the Madison area at this time stemming from the outbreak that is occurring in Chicago. Due to the highly infectious nature of this disease and the fact that many of our local residents visit the Chicago area frequently, we feel that there is a substantial risk that this disease will find its way here. We are counseling all of our clients about this disease and evaluating risk of exposure and potential benefit of vaccination on a case by case basis. If you have any questions about Canine Influenza or the steps you can take to protect your dog, please call Sun Prairie Pet Clinic for more information.
