British Engines says it is starting to see the results of its diversification despite reporting a 10% drop in revenue.
The North East engineering group has unveiled results for the year ended April 30, showing the dip in revenue from £154m to £138.5m, with an underlying operating profit down to £3.6m from £6.2m the previous year.
Despite this, reported operating profit was broadly in line with the previous year, as a result of reductions in exceptional costs relating to the company's reorganisation.
The firm noted exceptional costs of £203,000 for reorganisation following the acquisition of Michell Bearings from Rolls-Royce, as well as an exceptional cost of £924,000, capital costs the firm had put in place for some R&D work for oil company Petrobas which the firm then said did not need to be carried out.
A further £1.457m of exceptional costs came in the form of BEL Engineering (UK) Ltd's factory move.

Over time, turnover has shrunk from a high of £154m in 2014 to £138.5m in 2018, and profit has tumbled from £20.7m to £2.46m.
Employee numbers have held strong over that period, despite the fall in sales and profit, increasing to 1,350 last year from the 2014 workforce of 1,173.
Despite seeing turnover fall in recent years, the group's chairman said its decision to diversify into a greater number of industry sectors, to reduce reliance on the oil and gas sector, was beginning to bear fruit.
The group, which has eight engineering businesses in the region and has been in operation for 96 years, is seeing revenue growth in new product lines and new markets, all of which have been possible due to the reorganisation.
A degree of stability is also returning to the oil and gas markets, which has also provided encouraging news for the future.

Chairman Alex Lamb said the group's flexible and dynamic business model is the reason for the successful longevity of the business, which started out refurbishing engines for the shipbuilding industry on the River Tyne in the 1920s.
Mr Lamb said: "The current year remains challenging, but despite this, the level of order intake is improving in our traditional markets, and this is being supplemented by significant orders in both defence and key infrastructure projects in the energy and energy transmission sectors.
"As a result, we are optimistic that we will see improved levels of performance going forward.
"This optimism for the future is, however, heavily caveated by the ongoing Brexit discussions, which are making any sort of planning for the future very difficult, given that our companies are heavily reliant on export markets for growth.

"As a result, we are being quite cautious with regards to investment decisions as we are unable to predict what the costs of doing business overseas will be after Brexit. This is a
significant concern for the group."
British Engines comprises CMP Products, BEL Valves, BEL Engineering, Rotary Power, Michell Bearings, Stephenson Gobin, Stadium Export Services and Tyne Subsea.

Elk is a zero clutter currency converter app
There's no shortage of currency converter apps for travelers to load onto their iPhones, but there's also no shortage of badly designed currency converter apps — so the simplicity and speed of this nicely designed newcomer Elk stands out. Which perhaps explains why its app icon is a bull elk, rather than a boring currency symbol.
Instead of having to manually enter values to convert, the app automatically presents a list of 10 values in set increments (e.g. ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and so on) in the first currency, along with the conversion for each listed value in the second.
To bump up the value of the entire list by a factor of 10 you simply swipe left. For another 10x, swipe left again. You can keep swiping until the largest number in the list hits 100 billion. Then swiping right bumps all the values back down by 10x, til you're at the smallest units list.
So it's basically a super speedy way of getting at a glance rates tables.
If you want to convert smaller increments than are listed at first glance you can also tap (or use a long press on the iPhone 6s or later to peek via 3D Touch) on the closest number to the figure you're trying to convert to pop open another list of in-between values, plus their conversions.
And while you can't enter an even more specific value — say, £4.23 — you'll get something close enough (£4.20) to be good enough for most on-the-fly currency conversion needs. And you'll get it without having to fiddle around with numerical keypads. It's all controlled with a few swipes and taps. Hence the team billing the app as the "fastest way to convert currencies on your trips."
Currency rates come from CurrencyLayer, and are updated hourly — which the team reckons is "sufficient" for this traveler convenience-focused use-case. That focus is also why you won't find Bitcoin in the list of available currencies, either.
The app automatically selects the first two currencies to display and convert based on your location and phone settings.
You can swap their order (by tapping on the currency code at the top of the list), and — in the Pro version — select additional currencies to convert, as well as also set custom conversion rates.
The basic app is a free download, with a two-week trial of Elk Pro where you have access to all currencies. After the trial Pro is a $3.99 in-app purchase.
Given the swipe- and tap-based interface, Elk also looks well- suited for owners of the Apple Watch. Users can tap, swipe and rotate the Digital Crown to convert currencies on their wrist where typing or tapping on numerical keypads would be even more fiddly.
"There are a lot of currency apps. Elk is more focused for travelers, and especially those with an Apple Watch. It's hard to find a good watch app, and we feel this is a perfect fit for it," developer Hon Cheng tells us.
Nor is this the first nicely designed app we've seen from the Singapore-based developer duo behind Clean Shaven Apps — Live Photos editing app Alive is another app in their portfolio we've covered.

Where Kettle Lakes
A depression/hole in an outweigh plain formed by retreating glaciers or draining floodwaters Kettle lakes in Jamal Peninsula (Northern Siberia), adjacent to the Gulf of the Ob (right).
• Friday, 27 November, 2020
(Source: www.flickr.com)
The kettles are formed as a result of blocks of dead ice left behind by retreating glaciers, which become surrounded by sediment deposited by meltwater streams as there is increased friction. As the ice melts, ramparts can form around the edge of the kettle hole.
Kettles are fluvioglacial landforms occurring as the result of blocks of ice calving from the front of a receding glacier and becoming partially to wholly buried by glacial outweigh. When the ice blocks melt, kettle holes are left in the sander.
Kettle holes can also occur in ridge shaped deposits of loose rock fragments called till. Kettle holes can form as the result of floods caused by the sudden drainage of an ice-dammed lake.
These floods, called jökulhlaups, often rapidly deposit large quantities of sediment onto the sander surface. The kettle holes are formed by the melting blocks of sediment-rich ice that were transported and consequently buried by the jökulhlaups.
It was found in field observations and laboratory simulations done by Maizes in 1992 that ramparts form around the edge of kettle holes generated by jökulhlaups. Fish Lake in the north-central Cascade Mountains of the U.S. state of Washington is 200 hectares (490 acres).
(Source: www.geo.msu.edu)
In most cases, kettle holes eventually fill with water, sediment, or vegetation. Kettle ponds that are not affected by the groundwater table will usually become dry during the warm summer months, in which case they are deemed ephemeral.
Kettle bogs are closed ecosystems because they have no water source other than precipitation. ^ Bennet, M and Glasses, N: Glacial Geology:Ice Sheets and Landforms, page 262.
Prentice Hall, 2002 ^ Bennett, M and Glasses, N: Glacial Geology: Ice Sheets and Landforms, page 267. John Wiley and Sons, 1997 ^ Schmuck and Peterson, 2002 Warm water Fisheries Survey of Fish Lake, Ch elan County, Washington, page 1, State of Washington, 2005 ^ "Glacial Formations -- The Slack packer's Geology Primer".

Kettle lakesKettles are depressions left behind after partially-buried ice blocks melt. Kettle lake basins were formed as the glaciers receded.
While this was happening, a block of ice broke off the glacier, and just sat there. When the block of ice finally melted, all the debris surrounding it fell into the hole, creating the kettle type basin, which when filled with water, became a lake as we know it.
In Oakland County there is an excellent example of a glacial kettle just off Grange Hall Road between I-75 and the Dixie Highway. The "giveaway" for many of these, as to their ice block origins, lies in their crenelated outline and their undulating bathymetric.
Please contact Randall Schatz (soils@msu.edu) for more information or permissions. The deep green boreal forest of KettleLakes Provincial Park contains 22 beautiful little lakes.
During the last glaciation of North America, ice sheets reached their southern limit, known as the "glacial maximum," around 25,000 years ago. This period is called the Wisconsin Glacial Episode, when the Lauren tide Ice Sheet covered most of Canada and the northern United States.
As it advanced, it slowly ground down the earth's surface, and laid waste to mountain ranges. In northeastern Ontario, mountains as high as the Rockies were worn flat by billions of years of erosion and glacial periods.
(Source: lrdrobinson.blogspot.com)
The Continental Ice Sheet began to melt more than it advanced around 13,000 years ago, exposing Ontario's southern-most tip. Eventually, the melting was greater than the advance of the ice sheet, and the glacier began to retreat from southern Ontario.
Meltwaters from the receding glacier sometimes spanned the width of OntarioAfter being buried, the ice chunks were covered in sediment from the glacial streams. The area around KettleLakes Provincial Park is covered in a sandy delta laid down by a large river flowing off the ice sheet.
If they had melted quickly, the deep, kettle -like depressions they left behind would have filled with more sediment and disappeared. That ice water was replaced long ago in the park's lakes by rainwater, melting snow, and groundwater flowing from springs.
In fact, all the park's 20 kettle lakes are fed by springs — none are connected to the surrounding watershed by streams because of the porous nature of the area's landscape. Forest birds like the Yellow Warbler frequent the water's edge, and beavers sometimes build their lodges in them.
The ancient Ohio landscape resembled today's Greenland Ice Sheet, and the climate would be classified as a tundra, with long, cold and stormy winters followed by short summers. The ice in northern and western Ohio began to retreat about 17,000 years ago as the weather warmed, particularly in the spring and summer months.
(Source: masooma.blogspot.com)
The glaciers scraped the surface and dumped sediment (small rocks, gravel, sand, soil) on the front and sides of the ice sheet that piled as unconsolidated glacial till, forming hills and low ridges. Blocks of ice broke off and became mired in the softer earth, melting in place and leaving a depression that filled with water and covered by sediment.
Rainwater continued to fill the "kettles" after the ice disappeared, leaving behind marshes and swamps teeming with diverse biology. "During this time glaciers and ice sheets were able to grow to such large sizes because of the colder and longer winters created by Earth's orbit around the sun (Milankovitch cycles)."
Nash explained that geologists have verified past temperature by studying natural archives of climatic data buried in ice cores drilled deep into glaciers and analyzed in a laboratory.

Israel today – the state of the nation
Ynet poll of the population to coincide with Independence Day shows that less than 30% think Israel is heading in the right direction, while a little of 50% believe the West hates Israel.
Yaron Druckman|Published: 05.05.14 , 21:39
Less than three out of ten Israelis believe the country is heading in the right direction, while about half of Israelis believe we are not going in the right direction at all, according to a far-reaching Ynet poll conducted to coincide with Independence Day.
Among adults aged 50 and older, feelings were a little more positive, but among young people under the age of 34, feelings were much more pessimistic.
Those aged 50 and over were asked whether they give any form of financial assistance to their children over the age of 18. Of those asked, 58% answered in the affirmative, with a significant percentage offering assistance on a regular basis.
More than half of those aged 49 and under, meanwhile, said that they receive financial assistance from their parents, slightly more of the respondents said they were helped in specific instances than on a regular basis. Close to one quarter of those aged between 35 and 49 said that they receive monetary help from their parents.
Politics and social action
Just 17 percent of Israelis participated in political or social activity last year, the majority of them from the younger age brackets.
Five percent of respondents said they had participated in at least one demonstration, 3% had signed a petition or political statement, while 3% had met with a political figure and 2% were members of a political party. This question showed no significant differences between men and women in terms of political activity.
In terms of political affiliation, 51% of respondents said they were right-wing, 22% said they were in the center and 27% defined themselves as left-wing. Among young people, a greater percentage called themselves right-wing than left-wing.
Is the Western world against Israel?
"The world is against us all," wrote Israeli poet Yoram Taharlev 45 years ago, and about Israelis of today still hold this to be true. Fifty-two percent of respondents agreed with the sentence – a figure which rose to 63% among young people, compared to 47% in the 50 and over bracket. Furthermore, more women than men agree that most of the Western world against us - 58% and 45% respectively.
True faith
More than half of Israelis define themselves as secular (53%), 26% as traditional and 21% as haredi or religious. Among young people aged up to 34, 30% define themselves as haredi or religious, while among adults over 50 only 15% define themselves as such.
The high percentage of haredim and religious among those aged 34 and under is due to the greater number of children in religious and haredi families than in secular families.
The poll was conducted by the Rafi Smith Institute for Ynet between April 24 and 28, 2014. The poll included a representative sample of 500 members of Israel's adult Jewish population, and has a margin of error of 4.5%.


Last week we were steadfastly sticking to grilling (after all, we are supposed to be hardy Canadians), but waking up this morning to -14C (8F) and looking out over a frozen expanse of lake has me tossing out all BBQ plans and opting for a week of hot oven meals.
This week will see everything cooked in the oven, although I am still trying to figure out how to cook a Reuben in the oven. I may have to settle for the stove top method. Speaking of Reuben's, this will be my first attempt at making them. Hubby loves a Reuben sammie once in a while so I figured I would try my hand at making them at home. Hopefully he's up to being a guinea pig.
The weekend will see us puttering around inside the Homestead now that the cold has settled over the landscape, but just because it's cold out, it doesn't mean you have to hibernate. Get out and enjoy a brisk walk to get the heart and lungs pumping, then, afterwards you will really appreciate that cuppa hot chocolate when you come inside.
Huskystar that is…will be very busy the next couple weeks….so many sewing projects to do, so little time. Actually, a lot of other projects on the go as well. There is one knitting project, a whole lot of house de-cluttering going on, and let's not forget my newest hobby ~ Bob the loom.
I think I need to get a day planner and start blocking hours for each project, as well as regular chores and work.
Meanwhile, here is a snippet of what I am working on….not included in this pic is a blue floral print for a blouse for my Mexico trip that is half done. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back at it…no time for idle chit chat!
As I wander from room to room in my house, it hits me….where does all this 'stuff' come from??? Slowly, almost insidiously, things start piling up in the corners of the rooms, or under tables, or falling out on you as you open the linen closet.
Time to get organized. Time to pull out the Reuse bins, the Toss bins and the Recycle bins and sort the accumulations of what-not's and doo-dad's. I have enough what-not's and doo-dad's already. I normally do this ritual at the beginning of the year, and I already did do it at the beginning of the year, but for some reason, it needs to be done NOW. I can't wait another day.
With Christmas fast approaching, if I want to be able to host Christmas Eve fun, food and frivolity, I need to de-clutter, or I will have no room for guests.
Anyone need a what-not? Selling them cheap…. $5.00 a bushel.
In case you don't know how to read a calendar (or simply do not have one), I will run down the top 10 hints to let you know that Winter has arrived. If you come up with at least 5 of these, chances are Winter is in your neck of the woods.
One ~ The butter that sits on the counter is rock solid.
Two ~ You have to bribe the dog to go outside to do his business.
mug of hot cocoa in hand.
Four ~ Suddenly wearing flip flops outside turns your toes blue.
Five ~ The thermostat set at 67F for Summer, now feels awfully chilly for Winter.
Six ~ The salad spinner goes away and the crockpot comes out.
Seven ~ Bathing suits, shorts, tees and tank tops are popping up in the retail stores just in time for Winter sun/fun vacations.
Eight ~ You swap garden shovels for snow shovels.
Nine ~ You go from shaving your legs once a day to once a week.
Ten ~ Your Travel Agents tel # is now on speed dial for said vacation mentioned above.
I already have my vacation to sunny Mexico booked for Winter…how about you?
Will not consist of turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, mashed taters and pumpkin pie…that is reserved for our American friends who will be stuffing themselves to the gills and watching a gazillion football games next Thursday. Later on that evening, some of them will line up at department stores waiting for the bell to ring at midnight to signal the start of Black Friday.
I just don't get all the hubbub about Black Friday. Who thought it was a good idea to drag themselves away from a couch in a turkey laden stupor to go shopping? All I know is that the craze has now crept over the border the past 2 years and invaded retail Canada. We do not need another 'Boxing Day' sales bonanza…but apparently the retailers think we do.
Anyway, enough on that topic, the weekend is upon us and it's time to relax and do some knitting (I can't tell you what it is as it is a Xmas gift) as well as plan out my warp stripes for the Twill Tea Towels. Weather permitting, I will drag hubby out for a walk (or two) and maybe bring some treats for Shiloh & Sierra if they are in their paddock. They need more treats now that the grass has stopped growing with the arrival of cold weather. The woods will be silent now that deer season has come to a close but the duck hunters will still be out as their hunting season ends at the end of the year. Poor duckies….maybe I should knit them some kevlar vests.
I think I can… I think I can… I think I can….
I think I may finally be ready to start weaving an actual project. I have been playing with sock yarn on the loom for the past couple weeks which has allowed me to develop a rhythm as well as give me lots of opportunity to learn the finer points of weaving (and the sometimes sorry looking results while traversing the learning curve).
After straining my mental capacity learning how to calculate yarn requirements for each project to be developed on the loom, it was time to sit down and come up with my very own design for a set of 4 tea towels.
Do you feel like the room is moving?
The top and sides are a regular Twill patterning with the center dots being called a Point Twill. The whole pattern will repeat from top to bottom along the length of the towel with the pattern going across as you see it. Once I had a snippet of what I wanted written on graph paper, I created a spreadsheet in Excel to replicate it. Which was much easier as you can customize how many repeats width-wise and length-wise utilizing the copy/paste function.
Next was to figure out how much yarn I needed for the project, which entailed starting at what you want in a finished size of towel and working backwards. Lots of math…with lots of eraser being used up. Thankfully I am still sane after this first go round.
Here is some 8/2 cotton yarn (8 being the size of the yarn and the 2 denoting how many plys there are) that I am thinking of using. Having several stripes of different/matching colours for the warp (the threads from front to back) and using a natural or white for the weft (the threads that go side to side), that should highlight the pattern without making it too busy.
Now that I have the colours picked out, it will be time to start warping…I love the lingo in weaving, it makes me feel like I am on board the Spaceship Enterprise with Captain Pickard.
Nothing like a brisk, cold, northern wind smacking you in the face to get you into the mood for soup.
I have been in soup mode since our Thanksgiving a month ago and have already made and ate several hundred bowls of home made turkey soup, squash soup and tomato mushroom soup. This time though I had a hankering for barley…. but alas, no beef or beef stock to make it out of. Since I am the queen of kitchen improv, I utilized the last of my turkey stock along with a mittenful of mushrooms.
I always share my kitchen successes….never my failures, but I will tell you on occasion what may not have worked for me in the past…maybe.
In a large stock pot, heat oil over medium-low heat, add onions and cook until translucent, stirring often. Add garlic, thyme, sage and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Add mushrooms, increase heat just a tich to quickly get the mushrooms softened and the liquid coming out of them (about 5-6 minutes).
Add turkey stock and barley. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, cover and let simmer for at least an hour or until the barley is cooked through.
Remove from heat, uncover and add spinach. Stir until wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings* if necessary. Serve with crusty bread and a side salad.
*Note ~ this recipe can be made vegetarian by swapping the turkey stock for veggie stock. Also, please note I do not use salt in most of my recipes due to a family member with hypertension, but feel free to add it to your own pot of yummy goodness.
Like when I was knitting a pair of mittens a few weeks ago and forgot to knit the thumb gusset. I soon realized that there isn't a market for thumbless mittens and ripped it out to start over. This is known as a 'DUH' moment in knitting.
Last Friday's post was also a major 'DUH' moment, which saw an overwhelming vote in favour of the colour header picture over the black and white one.
Therefore, I humbly accept the publics preference and have brought the colour header back, albeit with a slightly different picture, ok, more than a slight difference. I hope you like the new one.
and if you believe that, I have some land in Florida to sell you.
Always knit your thumb gussets….and listen to your readers.

A question came up recently about WCI Portlet Caching, and I thought I'd share with you a little side effect of the caching strategy for portlets.
As you can see in the documentation, portlet caching is pretty intelligent, and has been since the Plumtree days of the MPPE (Massively Parallel Portal Engine) through the Aqualogic User Interaction days of the PPE/LB (Parallel Portal Engine/Load Balancer). The docs basically say that the cache key is created based on the preferences that you send to a portlet.
Which, if you think about it, is really smart: If you're not sending the user name to the portlet, then it's likely that the portlet isn't returning different content based on the user that's logged in – and therefore you can have one cache entry for that portlet and all users. On the flip side, if you do have a particular preference or user information being sent, then that portlet is likely going to be returning user-specific content based on who's viewing the portlet, so separate caches have to be maintained for each user.
In other words: to maximize the effectiveness of your cache by preventing cache-thrashing, don't just blindly check all the boxes in the Web Service configuration. That way, the cache will be able to maintain as few versions as possible for as many users as possible.
I've been a pretty big fan of Friendly URLs in WebCenter Interaction ever since it was AquaLogic User Interaction 6.5. But the Law of Unintended Consequences has a way of striking in unique ways. In today's post, the bug is that Friendly URLs cause problems with the old Plumtree Excel Portlets. Basically, if you have an Excel portlet on any page other than the home page in a community, pagination breaks because the browser bounces back to the home page in the community when you click any links.
This seems to have to do with the way the return URI is sent to the remote tier, and how the GDK interprets the URL, interacting with the fact that there are no longer query strings in the source URL (that's right – this ancient Plumtree code uses ASP / VB and the long-dead Gadget Development Kit). I won't bore you with all the analysis that went into this, but the code fix is pretty straightforward.
The code change basically tells the browser to return to the page it came from, rather than "trusting" the portal/gdk.
Psst. You. Yeah, you. I've got a tip for you: Read the friggin' manual.
OK, maybe that should read: "Psst. Me. Yeah, Me. Read the friggin' manual". Because I'm terrible with this: I've probably installed or upgraded Plumtree Foundation, Aqualogic User Interaction, and WebCenter Interaction (and the ancillary apps) hundreds of times: I don't need no steenkin' manual. But every now and then, I miss yet another step.
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Services2, Version=2.0.3.0, Culture=neutral,PublickKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Moral of the story: sometimes it IS actually user error. So read the manual before whining like myself about something not working out of the box, and install the prerequisites already!
OK, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that contrary to the release notes, this component IS required by more than just the "PRC Collaboration for Document Upload"; the above error was thrown when trying to load Publisher Objects. So, uh, I guess it can't hurt to always install this tiny, easily installed support app from Microsoft … just in case.

Charlottesville, Virginia, like many other communities has hyperactive social media when it comes to food. Too often this results in folks talking ABOUT rather than talking WITH one another.Edacious attempts to bridge that gap, to create connection and strengthen community. To move the focus away from the pretty Instagrammed plate and toward the hardworking individuals doing the WORK OF FOOD in our restaurants, on our farms, in our stores, and around our conference tables.

"Stupidity" coming to the Roxie
Concert/Show
Stupidity a hilarious take on modern ignorance is coming to the Roxie theatre in San Francisco March 19th. Has a hilarious section on the president's apparent stupidity.

"Stupidity" hits America
US Premiere in San Francisco
"JACKASS FOR INTELLECTUALS"
Stupidity, an action-packed, comedic feature documentary on the urgent issue of human stupidity, opens in San Francisco March 19th at the Roxie Cinema.
The film recently won "Best Documentary" at the Atlantic City Film Festival and attempts to answer the question of how, when humanity is so advanced, can ignorance and stupidity be so rampant?
The Montreal Gazette said "Stupidity proves to be hysterical" calling it one of the year's best docs. The Calgary Sun said the film "is one astute piece of filmmaking, as entertaining as it is enlightening." Montreal's Le Devoir said, "Stupidity is a bombastic, high energy and comic buffet of weirdness." Stupidity was the number 1 ticket seller at both the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival and the Hot Docs Documentary festival.
Amazingly Stupidity, with a modest budget of $125k, is the first film to deal directly with the issue of human stupidity. Among other topics, the film probes the question of US President Bush's alleged willful ignorance from both sides of the question.
Stupidity reveals:
Very little is know about human stupidity
The shocking origins of the words "moron", "imbecile" and "idiot."
Stupidity is fueled by strong belief systems, and smart people are often the stupidest.
The academic world has studiously avoided the topic of stupidity.

Alcohol detox is the separation of an individual from alcohol – getting it all out of your system. In the distant past, alcohol detox was excruciating and sometimes deadly. People thought that it was good to let a person "shake it out," believing detox should be so horrible that one would "never want to do that again." In reality, alcohol detox can have severe medical consequences, including death, and should never be undertaken alone. Today, with medical supervision, physicians can oversee alcohol detox and manage the client's withdrawal so that the worst of the symptoms can be avoided altogether and the more minor symptoms can be managed effectively. Alcohol detox does not have to be difficult or painful when medically supervised.
Alcohol detox–what physicians refer to as "alcohol withdrawal syndrome"–is a potentially life-threatening condition and is not to be taken lightly. It can begin as quickly as two hours after a person has taken their last drink and last for several weeks. How quickly symptoms begin and how severe they depend on a number of factors including how long, how much and how often a person has been drinking. Withdrawal can begin even when a person cuts back consumption. One does not need to stop drinking entirely to feel the effects of alcohol withdrawal. Because of the severity of this condition, it is ill-advised to try to detox on your own.
It is estimated that the death rate for those who do not seek a medically supervised detox from alcohol is somewhere between 1 and 5%. It cannot be emphasized enough how critical it is to seek medical support when attempting to detox from alcohol. Physicians can manage symptoms and very often prevent seizures, DTs, and cardiovascular collapse. This is especially important if you also have a history that includes seizure disorder(s), heart disease, or have had infections of the organs in the past.
The goal of residential alcohol detox is to help a person safely separate from alcohol. We work to minimize the severity of withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications related to alcohol withdrawal. Once you are safely separated from the substance enough to be clear-headed, we work with you to help you stay away from alcohol for good.
In residential treatment at Cliffside Malibu (or in a hospital if your condition requires it), you will be watched closely for indications of hallucinations or other symptoms of acute alcohol withdrawal. Treatment is always individualized and may include IV fluids to prevent dehydration, medications to help minimize symptoms that can range from nausea and anxiety to convulsions (?), and frequent monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and blood chemicals.
A variety of medications may be used short-term (less than one month in duration) to help you detox from alcohol. Many of these are by prescription and are used to minimize the symptoms of withdrawal. Our first priority is your safety. However, almost as importantly, we have learned that when withdrawal is not life-threatening and traumatic, we have a greater opportunity to help you. If you can safely and comfortably separate from alcohol, we are able to build a rapport with you. You will learn that you can trust us to support you through the worst of whatever you might feel. We want to be there for you in every way we are able. This level of commitment to your recovery is ultimately what breeds success.
Depending on your particular withdrawal symptoms, overall health, and health history, you may be given medications to minimize anxiety and/or prevent seizures. You could be given antipsychotic drugs to relieve agitation or help with hallucinations. If you're showing signs of cardiac involvement or high blood pressure, you might receive blood pressure or other cardiac medications. In all cases, a physician will decide the right complement of medication for you to ensure that your detox from alcohol is as safe and comfortable as possible.
There are medications that are touted as long-term support for alcoholism. The most well known of these are sold under the brand names Antabuse and Vivitrol. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has noted that these medications have shown minimal long-term efficacy. Because of the low efficacy rates of these and similar medications, we do not use them as part of our treatment protocol at Cliffside Malibu. Overwhelmingly, research has shown that medications can be critical as short-term treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms but to truly break free from addiction, one must look at the underlying root causes of their addiction and work through those issues. That's where freedom begins.
Because people vary so greatly in their level of alcohol abuse and personal medical history, it is impossible to give an accurate determination as to the length of detox an addict or alcoholic will require. Symptoms usually begin within the first 12-24 hours and are generally at their height at 72 hours after taking the last drink, but this is by no means true for everyone. Most people are completely through with detox in two weeks, but we constantly monitor all who abuse alcohol for seizures for an indefinite period.
Because symptoms can come on suddenly and be life-threatening, it is important that you separate from alcohol under the supervision of a physician. A physician will be able to give you a baseline assessment of the impact your drinking has had on your body and make a determination as to whether your detox can be supervised on an outpatient basis or if you need to be in a hospital setting. In either case, someone detoxing from alcohol should never be left alone for any appreciable period of time. Again, life-threatening symptoms can develop without notice. Someone needs to be available to call for an ambulance should the situation warrant. The alcoholic will not be able to do that for him/herself if s/he has had a seizure or if other complications, such as DTs (delirium tremens), develop.
Alcohol detox is treated primarily as a medical issue, but it is only one small part of treatment and only the first of many steps in alcoholism recovery.
In order to keep a person as safe as possible during detox and to minimize withdrawal symptoms, especially with regard to long-term alcohol abuse, pharmaceutical interventions are the safest and most effective to use – in the short term. Natural supplements simply cannot match the efficacy of some of the pharmaceuticals. However, this is one aspect of holistic care and treatment of alcoholism.
Holistic alcoholism treatment means treating the whole person, not just the symptoms of addiction. Thus, at Cliffside Malibu, we use a wide range of adjunctive therapies to support life-long change. Our treatment program is based on the latest understandings of neuroscience, particularly how the brain changes in response to addiction and addiction recovery. We use the "Stages of Change" treatment model, developed by Dr. James Prochaska, one of the world's leading psychologists, to help people through the change process and redesign their lives. This transdisciplinary psychotherapeutic model, along with a cadre of adjunct therapies, helps to change the brain and bring lasting recovery. To treat the whole person at the levels of mind, body, and spirit, we employ a range of natural and integrative therapies that include but are not limited to: acupuncture, yoga, therapeutic massage, meditation, nutritional therapies, orthomolecular medicine, biofeedback, and nature and adventure therapies. What is chosen for you will depend on your personal interests and needs.
At Cliffside Malibu, we will help you to overcome your addiction to alcohol – first with a medically supervised detox and then with a complete, holistic treatment model that will help you find the life you were always meant to live.


The original 2200 was remarkable primarily for its low entry price, which provided access for those on lower-budgets to an all-around quality large-diaphragm mic. The significantly improved 2200A now flips that equation on its head.
The cardioid-only 2200A utilizes the one inch gold vacuum plated Mylar diaphragm used in several other sE offerings including its predecessor). Two mini toggle switches on the matte gray band just below the grille engage or bypass the 10 dB pad and 100 Hz high-pass filter. The improvements over the original release are the result of a mic-equivalent "full-body makeover" that included circuit design, higher-spec components and improvements to internal stabilization and resonance dampening. The manufacturer-provided 2200A specifications state frequency response of 20 Hz – 20 KHz (no dB tolerance given), sensitivity of 14.1mV/Pa: (-37 ± 1.5dB), and 200-ohm impedance. Equivalent noise level is a respectable 17 dB (A-weighted), and the mic can handle a maximum sound pressure level of 135 dB (1 kHz at 0.5-percent THD).
sE Electronics/Sonic Distribution | 617-623-5581 | www.sonicus.netThe two previously unacquainted 2200A's ultimately proved to be a great stereo pair — in XY configuration, close-miked — for triple-tracking a four-part R&B backing vocal section. This was also a good test of the mics' overall character — repeated layering of tracks using the same mic(s) quickly reveals and compounds poor mic and/or room characteristics. But the resulting tracks in this case were perfect, and required little EQ to achieve the close, sweet and smooth layered-chorus sound called for.
The 2200A is an ideal main vocal mic for those working on smaller budgets and starting to grow their mic collection. As an option for those more interested in an affordable multipattern large-diaphragm mic, I can now happily recommend sE's Z3300A, to which I was just introduced and had the pleasure of using throughout more recent sessions.

Toyota Camry Hybrid reliability & safety
Toyota is a byword for reliability, but the Camry Hybrid has yet to go through independent crash-testing
Last Updated: 25 Nov 2019
Toyota's reputation for producing reliable cars precedes it, so it's safe to assume there won't be any major issues with the Camry. The company produces not far off a million examples of the car each year for markets around the globe, many of which cover huge mileage without issue.
On the safety side, there's no Euro NCAP independent crash-test rating for the car yet, but both trim levels get a suite of safety kit under the 'Toyota Safety Sense' banner.
Toyota Camry Hybrid reliability & problems
Toyota in general – and Toyota's hybrid technology in particular – has proved extremely reliable over the years, with many examples of the Prius doing heavy duty as private-hire cars in cities around the world. We don't have specific reliability data on the Camry just yet, as it's a pretty new arrival to the UK market.
Euro NCAP hasn't independently evaluated the crash performance of the Camry yet, either, but Toyota will have tested it extensively during development. You also get a wide range of on-board safety kit, much of it intended to prevent a crash happening in the first place.
The 'Toyota Safety Sense' package, standard on both the Design and Excel trims, incorporates pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, road-sign assistance and automatic high-beam headlights. Excel adds blind-spot and rear cross-traffic monitoring functions for an extra level of backup.

Pm Kp Sharma Oli VS Rajendra Mahato
Modi warns to win election in Nepal's highest pressure.The 2015 Nepal blockade, which began on 23 September 2015, is an economic and humanitarian crisis which has severely affected Nepal and its economy.Nepal has accused India of imposing an undeclared blockade. India has denied the allegations, stating the supply shortages have been imposed by Madheshi protesters within Nepal.As a landlocked nation, Nepal imports all of its petroleum supplies from India. Roughly 300 fuel trucks enter from India on a normal day, but this has dwindled to a sporadic passage of 5–10 fuel trucks daily since the start of the crisis, though shipments of perishables like fruits and vegetables have generally been allowed to pass. Moreover, India had also been stopping some Nepalese trucks at the Kolkata harbour. The blockade choked imports of not only petroleum, but also medicines and earthquake relief material.

Rank Gamesmanship
As recently as the end of last month, Dave Winer publicly reasserted what he considers to be the RSS 2.0 spec [wikipedia edits]. Dave also recently completed a restoration of that specification.
Meanwhile the RSS Advisory Board promotes an alternate URI, and are in the midst of a protracted effort which intends to replace the content of that specification with this one.
The new specification draft purges the roadmap, and makes a number of changes, such as allowing skipHours to be zero to 24 (a change with some basis), and permitting namespaced attributes to be added to existing RSS 2.0 elements (a change without basis).
The latter was originally brought up by Randy Charles Morin, discussed ("strong argument" and "The spec, on the other hand, if read literally, is clear on the matter"), added to the draft, clarified, and hastily reversed.
Namespaces served as the basis for Dave Winer's original fork, the basis for a nasty smear campaign, and the basis for one of Dave's fears.
If you look closely, IE7 transforms feeds in exactly the way that Dave feared. It adds a completely undocumented cf:type attribute to description elements, something that Dave explicitly rejected, as he felt it would "add confusion".
Meanwhile, the Advisory Board selectively promotes the use of Dublin Core.
As I pointed out last year, the reality is that just like there are two distinct RSS 0.91 specs (UserLand and NetScape (Advisory Board archive)), there are now two distinct RSS 2.0 specs (Harvard and Advisory Board).
P.S. In October of 2006, I asked that all references to my name be removed from this effort, and Rogers agreed. Over six months later, my name still remains in a document that was just published yesterday.

Q: Append Data in Custom list arrayadapter I have a custom list with image arrayadapter.I need to add some new data into that list arrayadapter.I tried to add data by
your_array_list.add("foo");
your_array_list.add("bar");

but this is not working help me to add data to list view
Here is my adapter class
public ApplicationAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId,
            List<ApplicationInfo> appsList) {
        super(context, textViewResourceId, appsList);
        this.context = context;
        this.appsList = appsList;
        packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return ((null != appsList) ? appsList.size() : 0);
    }

    @Override
    public ApplicationInfo getItem(int position) {
        return ((null != appsList) ? appsList.get(position) : null);
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View view = convertView;
        if (null == view) {
            LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) context
                    .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            view = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.snippet_list_row, null);
        }

        ApplicationInfo data = appsList.get(position);
        if (null != data) {
            TextView appName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.app_name);
            TextView packageName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.app_paackage);
            ImageView iconview = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.app_icon);

            appName.setText(data.loadLabel(packageManager));
            packageName.setText(data.packageName);
            iconview.setImageDrawable(data.loadIcon(packageManager));
        }
        return view;
    }

Here is my activity code
applist = checkForLaunchIntent(packageManager.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA));
        ;
        ApplicationAdapter listadaptor = new ApplicationAdapter(AllAppsActivity.this,
                    R.layout.snippet_list_row, applist);

A: If first initialization:
applist.add("foo");
ApplicationAdapter listadaptor = new ApplicationAdapter(AllAppsActivity.this,R.layout.snippet_list_row, applist);

later on if you are willing to add data:
applist.add("foo");
listadaptor.notifyDataSetChanged();

From your code i see that as a parameter of your adapter you are givin a list of objects (List<ApplicationInfo>),so instead of adding string applist.add("foo") you need to add an ApplicationInfo object something like:
ArrayList<ApplicationInfo> yourList = new ArryList<>();
yourList.add(applist);

Raßdorf ist seit 1. Januar 2011 ein Ortsteil der Stadt und Einheitsgemeinde Zahna-Elster. Zuvor war es seit 30. September 1928 bereits ein Teil der bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt eigenständigen Gemeinde Leetza.

Geschichte
Die Ersterwähnung erfolgte 1428 als Rotsdorff. Bis zur Errichtung eines Ritterguts 1612 war der Ort nicht kontinuierlich besiedelt.

Geografie
Raßdorf liegt orographisch rechtselbisch und links des Zahnabachs. Im Westen des Ortes befindet sich forstwirtschaftlich genutzter Wald. Norden, Osten und Süden sind durch Äcker und Wiesen charakterisiert, die von zahlreichen Wassergräben durchzogen werden.

Die Entfernung zu den beiden Ortsmitten von Zahna und Elster beträgt jeweils etwa 5 km Luftlinie, jene nach Lutherstadt Wittenberg im Westen 12 km und etwa 16 km bei Verkehrswegnutzung.

Dorfmorphologisch zählt Raßdorf zu den Straßendörfern.

Verkehr
Von Westen führt die K 2016 in den Ort, die im Nordwesten auf etwa halber Strecke zwischen Külso und Leetza an die K 2017 angebunden ist.  Die Dorfstraßen im Ortskern sind gepflastert und heben sich damit von den ortsausgehenden, asphaltierten Wegen ab. Neben der K 2016 zählen dazu die Wirtschaftswege nach Leetza im Norden und nach Zemnick im Osten.

Die Anwohnerstraßen und -wege in Raßdorf tragen keine separaten Namen.

EIZO Offers Wide-Ranging Use with New 23" Touch Panel Monitors for Industrial, Medical, and Other Environments
Cypress, CA, March 7, 2018 – EIZO Inc. announced DuraVision FDF2382WT – 23-inch touch panel monitor with 1920 x 1080 (full HD) resolution.
The DuraVision FDF2382WT feature projected capacitive (PCAP) touch technology which is more durable and reliable compared to other touch technologies. The monitor features a non-scratch surface with a hardness of 5H (Mohs scale), making it durable enough to withstand long-term use. This makes it especially suitable for environments with high public access such as kiosks, or for use in harsh environments such as factories.
The monitor accepts touch input from a bare finger or dedicated stylus. The screen detects up to 10 simultaneous touches so users can easily operate a variety of applications. With 10-point multitouch, multiple people use the screen at the same time. Furthermore, compared to 5-point multitouch the screen has higher touch sensitivity, making writing with a finger or stylus smoother. For example, when a medical doctor writes notes about a patient's condition, the monitors ensure each pen stroke comes out clear and as intended. This feature also benefits environments where delicate control over touch movement is needed – such as managing audio sliders in sound engineering or flight strips in air traffic control.
Furthermore, the DuraVision FDF2382WT is equipped with technology which calibrates the touch sensitivity of the screen to minimize incorrect touch response due to environmental factors and electromagnetic noise. This ensures that the screen maintains accurate touch interaction during use.
When taking notes in a business meeting, signing digital documents, or in other situations where writing is called for, the monitors' palm rejection technology allows the user's hand to rest directly on the screen without causing unintended touch input. Furthermore, touch detection can quickly be toggled via the buttons on the monitor's side so users can enable or disable touch functionality as the situation or environment calls for it.
The fully flat surface of the monitor provides a seamless touch experience that reaches to the edges of the screen. This makes swiping motions and scrolling a breeze.
The typical brightness of DuraVision FDF2382WT is 260 cd/m2. The LED-backlit IPS panels have wide viewing angles that minimize color shift and contrast changes when viewing the screen from the side. The surface of the panel is also coated with an anti-glare treatment for further clarity in bright ambient environments.
The reclining stand provides flexible positioning to allow it to rest on a desk like a laptop and recline back to the desired angle. This makes it easy to place the monitor in the ideal position for the most comfortable use in any environment.
Flicker-free display
DisplayPort, DVI-D, D-Sub inputs
The DuraVision FDF2382WT will begin shipping in March 2018. Date of availability varies by country so contact the EIZO group company or distributor in your country for details.
EIZO (TSE:6737), which means image in Japanese, is a visual technology company that develops and manufactures high-end display solutions. EIZO integrates hardware and software technologies with consulting, web hosting, and other services to help customers in business, graphics, gaming, medicine, maritime, and other fields work more comfortably, efficiently, and creatively.

Mad Dogs 2 - Aftermath 1/?
Exile - Shaming the Devil - Part 1/?
Exile - Shaming the Devil Part 2/?
Exile - Shaming the Devil Part 3/?
Summary: What happened after the final scene in Series 1? Part One was written some months in advance of Series 2, but this part was started four days before, using hints gleaned from various interviews and articles. As with 'Poolside', which was written during Series 1, this story will follow the on-screen adventures but deal with those scenes which took place 'off screen' if you like. Or, if I'm going to be honest, 'the naughty bits they couldn't show'... LOL.
Previously: 'Look, we don't have time for this...' Rick stammers. 'We don't know how many of 'em know about this. Let's just go!' He looks pleadingly at them.
'How we gonna clean him up without any water?' Rick asks.
Rick scowls but Baxter is already moving towards the villa, leaving him with little choice.
Baxter enters the silent house, wondering why he isn't more petrified that there might be other mafia men laying in wait for him. But there had only been one person in the car which had passed them, and he's in the pool, he reasons as he runs through the bedrooms, grabbing clothes and stuffing everything he can see into bags and cases. In his own room, he discards the still wet cargo pants and grabs a pair of chino's and a shirt from the wardrobe before ramming the rest of the clothes back in his bag. He looks around for a towel and wraps the soaked chinos in it before ramming that in, too. Then he checks that his passport is still where he'd left it (it is) and rifles quickly through the other men's bags, removing their passports and shoving them all into his satchel. Once he's satisfied that everything is present and correct, he gathers the bags on the landing and takes them downstairs. It takes two trips but finally he's got everything in a pile by the door. He loops his satchel over one shoulder and steps outside into the glare of the sun.
'I'm going to get the car,' he tells Woody and Rick, who have got a pan of water going on the barbeque; it's far from hot enough though and Woody has ripped Quinn's ruined shirt into strips and is busy cleaning the wound as best he can with water Baxter assumes is from the pool to judge by the colour.
'Don't s'pose you noticed if Alvo had a first aid kit anywhere?' Woody asks him as he walks past.
'I'll do it,' Rick says, dropping the stick with which he's been poking desultorily at the coals. 'This is never gonna heat up in time anyway.' He's seen Baxter's satchel and his eyes narrow in suspicion.
Baxter drops the keys into Rick's outstretched hand. 'I've got all the passports,' he says, meaning don't do a runner on us.
Rick nods as he curls his fist around the keys and drops his gaze, walking away with a sour look on his face.
Baxter finds a rather shabby first aid kit in one of the kitchen cupboards and takes it out to Woody.
'Doesn't look like Alvo ever used it,' he mutters, and Woody grunts thanks, concentrating on the task at hand.
'How is he?' Baxter tries again.
Baxter snorts amusement. 'No! About the only thing I've ever operated on is the Sunday joint...' he stops, swallows, remembering the last time he'd had one, sat around the table with his girls.
'You all right, Bax?' Woody finishes cleaning around the wound and applies a sterile plaster to the torn skin.
Baxter nods. 'Yeah, s'pose so... I wonder what the girls are doing, that's all...' he swallows.
Baxter does as he's asked and Woody deftly winds a crepe bandage around Quinn's upper arm.
Woody ties off the bandage as Rick brings the hire car to a skidding halt on the driveway. He leaps out. 'I'm gonna get changed,' he says, striding past them.
Baxter nods and hurries into the house, where Rick is pulling on a clean-ish shirt. 'I see you didn't waste any time getting changed,' he says.
Rick scowls at him but takes the shirt and does as he's bid. Baxter grabs the bags.
'Woody, d'you want a clean shirt?' he calls as he walks past.
Baxter drops his bag and Rick's cases into the boot and goes back for the rest. When he dropped them into the boot he unzips Woody's bag and pulls out the first thing he sees. 'This OK?' he holds up a blue t-shirt. Woody glances across as he and Rick half-carry a slowly-recovering Quinn round to the nearside rear passenger door.
Baxter waits until both men are engrossed in getting Quinn into the car and darts to the side of the pool where he quickly retrieves the bag of Euros and steps back to the boot; he's just slammed the lid down when Rick steps up beside him.


Putting the Grand Quest behind them, the party rides onward in search of answers. Between one member's unexpected new condition and the mysteries of the Bridge, their only hope appears to be gaining entrance to Lumal, said to hold the greatest collection of knowledge in all the kingdoms.
But when a curious path appears in a seemingly uninhabited forest, the party finds themselves in a place set apart from the kingdoms, and the world at large: a hidden hamlet, filled by unusual people, all of whom have long histories of their own.
Soon sealed inside the town by unseen forces, the former NPCs will have to uncover what brought them there - and who is keeping them trapped - while there's still time to fight back. Because something more is brewing, something involving the very gods themselves. With unknown enemies to the front and supposed allies at their rear, the party will need more than their usual tricks if they hope to see the outside world once more.
Another winner from Drew Hayes! So easy to get completely caught up in the store and very difficult to put down! Narration was top notch thanks to Roger Wayne's consistent excellence! Can't wait for the next one!
If you are considering book 4 of the Spells, Swords, & Stealth Series, I'm going to assume that you already have read books 1-3 and say that you are in for a treat with book 4. Whereas other series may give you questions that are never answered until the very last book, Drew answers many of the questions that have been asked in the previous 3 books while keeping enough behind the screen and introducing logical next steps to eagerly await the next book.
Of course, the highlight of this book is the highlight of Drew Hayes as an author, his incredible character development. These are real characters fleshed out in incredible ways. While it may seem strange to have strong emotional ties with a half-orc or a goblin, by book 4 I was fully invested in these characters and have a deep friendship with them. Their joys and trials are gripping. I couldn't stop listening.
If you like fantasy, this is for you. If you've ever played a tabletop role playing game, this is for you. If you just want a great story read by a talented narrator who keeps the same voices over an entire series, this is for you. Basically, this story is for you. Get it.
Great character development, plot grows and gets better and more complex, Highly recommended!! and buy the Audio books for this series, It plays like a movie!
This book was just released, and I'm already itching for the next installment. It really grows the overall world of the series, and expands how it interacts with "our" world.
Fantastic, enthralling read. Deep characters that the reader truly appreciate and care about. One of the best if not the best in the series.
Drew continues developing his five main characters and allowing them to grow in expected and unexpected ways!
Very good continuation of the story. It was a little slow but no good campaign can be high speed all the time.
Love the way that this series bring a new dynamic to table top RPG. The way that two party experience the world is unique and captivating. Transition between the two realities are well thought out in my opion.

Our statement on racial justice
Parker Remick believes that every Black life is precious and that every person has an immediate part to play in social change. Over thousands of years, the march toward dignity, legal personhood, and the equal protection of rights has come at unfathomable costs and robbed the world of enormous human potential. To accelerate the velocity of change, we must reform the institutions and mindsets that perpetuate racial injustice.
As ever, change begins within. Parker Remick will build a better-informed employee community that welcomes and supports members who have a variety of backgrounds and beliefs. We will continue to offer paid time off for civic engagement and volunteering, match donations, sponsor guest speakers, host diversity and inclusion lunch-and-learns, and foster greater diversity throughout the business.
We also recommit ourselves to listening to and understanding the perspectives of diverse candidates, client hiring teams, and partners. Our recruiting and advisory practices will improve as we heighten our focus on racial justice—and, we will share what we learn.
Thank you for partnering with us to support the lives and careers of Black people, indigenous peoples, and peoples of color.

Issue with encoding
by Zoran Dori
Hello, I'm working on one wiki which shows characters in a weird way. UTF-8 is used for encoding, so I believe that it isn't an issue. You can take a look here Statik A – Sub Bavaria (sub-bavaria.de) <http://www.sub-bavaria.de/w/index.php?title=Statik_A>, so you can better understand what I'm talking about. Could you please point me to something that I should look for, so I can fix this issue? Wiki was previously on version 1.31, I've upgraded it to 1.38. Thanks for your help and understanding! Best regards, Zoran

Update issues with Git branches missing
by John
I am attempting to update an outdated wiki but REL1_39 is missing from the extensions repository, and in fact anything after 1.35 isn't there either. Same issue affects the Skins repository too. See: * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/skins * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/+refs Not having branched releases matching between the groups will cause compatibility issues. Can we please get the missing branches made?

Import failed: Error creating directory shellbox

I'm attempting to import XML dumps from several other Mediawiki wikis into a local install of MediaWiki running on XAMPP. Some files import fine, but many of them get the error 'Import failed: Error creating directory shellbox-bdd810ee1edf29b3'. Number at the end changes with each attempt. I'm running: MediaWiki 1.37.2 PHP 7.4.27 (apache2handler) MariaDB 10.4.22-MariaDB I have '$wgTmpDirectory = "C:\xampp\htdocs\mediawiki_manuals\images\temp";' set in LocalSettings.php.

Problem migrating from 1.38.5 to 1.39.1 due to Composer dependencies
by Jeffrey Walton
Hi Everyone, We are trying to migrate from Mediawiki 1.38.5 to 1.39.1. The webserver is Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS, x86_64, fully patched. At the step of installing Composer with its dependencies,[1] 'composer install' is dying with the error message: <BEGIN SNIP> Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages. Problem 1 - Installation request for doctrine/dbal 3.4.2 -> satisfiable by doctrine/dbal[3.4.2]. - doctrine/dbal 3.4.2 requires composer-runtime-api ^2 -> no matching package found. Potential causes: - A typo in the package name - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details. - It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it <END SNIP> We are running the latest version of Composer: # apt-cache search composer | sort ... composer - dependency manager for PHP And: # apt-cache show composer Package: composer Architecture: all Version: 1.10.1-1 Priority: optional Section: universe/php Origin: Ubuntu ...

Security and maintenance release: 1.35.9 / 1.38.5 / 1.39.1
by Sam Reed
I would like to announce the release of MediaWiki 1.35.9, 1.38.5 and 1.39.1! The security fix included in this release was considered low risk, hence the lack of a pre-release announcement. It only takes effect on new installs using SQLite. If you're using SQLite already on a shared host, you may want to check the file permissions of the database file, and stop them being readable by "everyone". More information can be found on the linked task, T322637. These releases also serve as a maintenance release for these branches. The tarballs have already been uploaded as of this e-mail, and the git tags have been pushed. A "MediaWiki Extensions Security Release Supplement" e-mail will follow this one, covering security updates for non-bundled extensions. Various patches aimed at PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 support have been back-ported. This should fix a lot of log spam, and MediaWiki should work on both released versions (PHP 8.0 and 8.1). Reports of bugs with PHP 8.0, 8.1, or 8.2 support are particularly welcome, and fixes will be back-ported when possible. Please see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.0_support/, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.1_support/ and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/php_8.2_support/ for the relevant work boards. As a reminder, 1.37 became end of life (EOL) in November 2022. It is recommended to upgrade to 1.38, or to 1.39 (the next LTS after 1.35) which was released in November 2022. == Security fixes == * (T322637, CVE-2022-PENDING) SECURITY: Make sqlite DB files not world readable. == Links to all mentioned tasks == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T322637 == Release notes == Full release notes for 1.35.9: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_35/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.35 Full release notes for 1.38.5: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_38/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.38 Full release notes for 1.39.1: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/MW/browse/REL1_39/RELEASE-NOTES… https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes/1.39 For information about how to upgrade, see <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Upgrading> ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.9.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.9.zip Patch to previous version (1.35.8): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.9.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-core-1.35.9.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.35/mediawiki-1.35.9.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-core-1.38.5.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-core-1.38.5.zip Patch to previous version (1.38.4): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-core-1.38.5.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-core-1.38.5.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.38/mediawiki-1.38.5.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html ********************************************************************** Download: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.zip Download without bundled extensions: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.1.tar.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.1.zip Patch to previous version (1.39.0): https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.patch.gz https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.patch.zip GPG signatures: https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.1.tar.gz.… https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-core-1.39.1.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.tar.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.zip.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.patch.gz.sig https://releases.wikimedia.org/mediawiki/1.39/mediawiki-1.39.1.patch.zip.sig Public keys: https://www.mediawiki.org/keys/keys.html

Announcing MediaWiki 1.39.0
I am happy to announce the availability of the general release of MediaWiki 1.39! Tarballs have already been uploaded, and the git tag has been pushed. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, especially thanks to those who tested out the release candidates and provided feedback, as well as the developers who worked hard to get several important fixes merged in time for the 1.39 final release. To see what's changed in 1.39, see the release notes below. Please note that the PHP version requirement has been raised from 7.3.19 in MediaWiki 1.38 (and 1.35) to 7.4.3. MediaWiki 1.39 is the first release of MediaWiki 'born' with PHP 8.0 and PHP 8.1 support included. We anticipate there may be some as-yet undiscovered bugs with PHP 8.x support, of which we'd love to hear reports so they can be fixed. We plan to back-port fixes to 1.38 and 1.35 to the extent possible. MediaWiki 1.39 is an LTS and is due to be supported until the end of November 2025. As a reminder, 1.35 LTS is due to become end-of-life in November 2023, and 1.38 is due to become end-of-life in June 2023. 1.37 is becoming end-of-life today, and will be formally announced in a separate email. === Changes since MediaWiki 1.39.0-rc.1 === * Localisation updates. * exception: Tolerate no service container when trying DB rollback. * (T320282) Upgrading wikimedia/xmp-reader (0.8.3 => 0.8.4). * objectcache: Deprecate WANObjectCache::reap() and ::reapCheckKey(). * (T320864) When calling mail(), use an array for headers. * Upgrading wikimedia/xmp-reader (0.8.4 => 0.8.5). * (T321154) Call setFormIdentifier() on LogEventsList form. * When importing revision with same timestamp as latest revision, treat it as the new latest. * (T320726) RandomImageGenerator::getImageSpec: Don't pass a float to mt_rand(), for PHP 8.1. * (T298485, T322360) WikiExporter: Avoid calling reload in processing every row. * (T321551) pager: Fix null used for foreach in Pager::getNavigationBar. * (T321551) pager: Remove unused AlphabeticPager::getOrderTypeMessages() support. * pager: Remove unused PagerNavigationBuilder::setExtra(). * PagerNavigationBuilder: Document that nulls in setLinkQuery() etc. are allowed. * (T322335) ApiQueryRevisionsBase: Fix 'rvdiffto' parameter handling on PHP 8.0. * (T314096) TestFileEditor: Fix string interpolation. * (T289926) api: Fix minor PHP 8.1 incompatibility in ApiOptions. * (T322803) SpecialBotPasswords: Don't pass null to trim(). * (T289926) Fix incomplete ITextFormatter mocks. * Language: Handle ronna and quetta. * (T72510) rdbms: make SqlitePlatform::tableName() apply double quotes. * (T323373) Parser: Fix extractSections() behavior for PHP >= 8.0. * .gitattributes: Ship docker-compose.yml to the tarball.

External Data issues fetching values from other wiki
by Jeremi Plazas
Hi there, We've been using the External Data extension for years now and managed to make it work really well for us to fetch data from our private wikis onto more public wiki sites. The new version 3.2 is causing some issues for us. Here is the gist: Simple values (Semantic property of type text) come through fine with the new method: > {{#external_value:PersonTypeRaw > > quote_type > > |source=https://commons-new.tsadra.org/index.php?title=Special%3AAsk&q={{urlencode:[[Dorje, G.]]}}&po=PersonTypeRaw&p%5Bformat%5D=csv > > |format=csv > }} Result: Authors of English Works More complex values (Semantic property of type text) however do not (they used to just fine), the function doesn't seem to fire at all.

He was born in Edinburgh, where he studied classics (Latin and Greek) at George Watson's College and developed an early interest in Buddhist philosophy. He held a PhD in Tibetan Literature (SOAS) and an MA in Sanskrit with Oriental Studies (Edinburgh). In the 1970s he spent a decade living in Tibetan communities in India and Nepal where he received extensive teachings from Kangyur Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. In 1971 Dudjom Rinpoche encouraged him to begin translating his recently completed ''History of the Nyingma Schoo''l (རྙིང་མའི་སྟན་པའི་ཆོས་འབྱུང་) and in 1980 his ''Fundamentals of the Nyingma School'' (བསྟན་པའི་རྣམ་གཞག) - together this was an undertaking that was to take twenty years, only reaching completion in 1991. In the 1980s Gyurme returned to the UK and in 1987 completed his 3 volume doctoral dissertation on the ''Guhyagarbhatantra'' and Longchenpa's commentary on this text at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London. > From 1991 to 1996 Gyurme held research fellowships at London University, where he worked with Alak Zenkar Rinpoche on translating (with corrections) the content of the Great Sanskrit Tibetan Chinese Dictionary to create the three volume ''Encyclopaedic Tibetan-English Dictionary''. From 2007 until his death he worked on many translation projects, primarily as a Tsadra Foundation grantee.

He was born in Edinburgh, where he studied classics (Latin and Greek) at George Watson's College and developed an early interest in Buddhist philosophy. He held a PhD in Tibetan Literature (SOAS) and an MA in Sanskrit with Oriental Studies (Edinburgh). In the 1970s he spent a decade living in Tibetan communities in India and Nepal where he received extensive teachings from Kangyur Rinpoche, Dudjom Rinpoche, Chatral Rinpoche, and Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche. In 1971 Dudjom Rinpoche encouraged him to begin translating his recently completed History of the Nyingma School (རྙིང་མའི་སྟན་པའི་ཆོས་འབྱུང་) and in 1980 his Fundamentals of the Nyingma School (བསྟན་པའི་རྣམ་གཞག) - together this was an undertaking that was to take twenty years, only reaching completion in 1991. In the 1980s Gyurme returned to the UK and in 1987 completed his 3 volume doctoral dissertation on the Guhyagarbhatantra and Longchenpa's commentary on this text at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London.
