But as to who should be in prison, there seems to be some confusion. Some have argued that it should be a form of societal vengeance for any who have violated public normative behaviour -a way of avoiding the egalitarian justice suggested in the ancient babylonian Code of Hammurabi: the 'eye for an eye' principle. Some would argue that incarceration of one sort or another should be reserved for those who have both broken the law and are a danger to the public. Still others feel that for more obviously egregious transgressions -whether or not violent: white collar crimes, for example- justice is better served behind bars than with fines or mandated public service. Prison, in other words, is a punishment.
Self-injury is increasing in prisons: http://globalnews.ca/news/873132/6-disturbing-facts-about-self-injury-among-canadas-prison-inmates/ -especially amongst women inmates. That, surely, is a sign that all is not well in our prison system… A sign that we ignore at our moral peril.
I suppose that this disturbing news could be treated with a simple shrug of the shoulders and an indifferent sigh. As Oscar Wilde said, "One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is, that things are what they are and will be what they will be." Looking at it this way, however, we learn nothing. We improve nothing. These incidents are telling us something.
Perhaps they do; perhaps all crime is attributable to some form of mental aberration. But in many ways, that dilutes the need to notice and treat those who have more recognizeable syndromes -syndromes more amenable to therapy. More rescuable. And it implies that such mental states are manageable within the prison system and don't need separate facilities for successful resolution. The problem is that the primary contact with these troubled individuals is usually not by people trained for mental illness, but by those trained for suppression. Violence begets violence in response; it rarely engenders compassion, or a reasoned, helpful approach that might more successfully mitigate the behaviour. Mental illness unappreciated, is mental illness denied. Revoked. Abrogated.
I mean, this should be obvious, but is frequently deceptively so. Things are seldom black and white; mental illness is one of the 'The Great Masqueraders' as they used to call difficult to diagnose conditions in medical school. Indeed it's often far from obvious, and may even languish in the background, overshadowed by the actions that occasioned the arrest. We tend to focus on actions, not motives -if that's what one would call the underlying incentive, the mental aberration that engendered the violation in the first place… We tend to see the criminality of the result, not the intent (once again to ascribe, say, an hallucination or paranoia to something as logical and thoughtful as intent is problematic at the very least).
It is clearly not an easy problem to solve, nor, given the many other issues plaguing prisons -funding priorities, training of staff, and overcrowding, to name a few- is it likely to gain the level of government support it so obviously deserves. And yet it is a priority. The very problem speaks to who we are; who we want to be. Those unfortunate enough to suffer mental illness in the system can never be properly served within the confines of an institution designed to serve other needs -warehouse needs, dare I say.
As Dostoyevsky implies, a society is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable of its members: the old, the poor, the mental disadvantaged… Remember that hymn: God sees the little sparrow fall? Justice is served, not by vengeance, but more by understanding, remediating… Caring.

Q: How to authenticate a user with an external webservice I was asked to login wordpress with an external webservice and at the same time to use the original wordpress database, ie, the webservice would only obtain data for the user profile and its authentication and it would not be possible to modify any of the profile data(for Security reasons), but all the content of the site will be related to this user obtained from the webservice, and would keep the administrators of the wordpress site, the response of the webservice is a JSON.
I have used rest api's before, but in different environments, I have never modified the wordpress core, because I think it is what I have to modify to do this authentication, if someone knows how to do this, I will thank you infinitely.

A: Read up on REST API Authentication here.
There has been talk of a WP REST API Application Registry on Make WordPress Core's blog - WP REST API: Introducing the Authentication Broker, which would require the OAuth 1 plugin to work.
You can read more about the evolving rest api on the blog.

Q: Avoid if for chained objects I have one complex object just like this;
Object A
   Object B
    Object C
      Object D
        property A
        property B

So If I need to show the property A in my view, I need to
  A.getB().getC().getD().getPropertyA();

but what if my user doesn`t send the object C?
so I need to create one If for every object
if(A.getB() != null){
  if(A.getB().getC() != null){
    if(A.getB().getC().getD() != null){
      //here I can show the propertyA
    }
  }
}

now I have to show this property in 3 views
There is a better way to does this? a framework or something like this to solve this problem?

A: You can use Optional.ofNullable and map:
Optional.ofNullable(A.GetB())
    .map(B::getC)
    .map(C::getD)
    .map(D::getPropertyA)
    .orElseThrow()

P.S.1: Some developers (and linters) find this approach a code smell, but I think it's more readable that way.
P.S.2: You can use a default value with .orElse instead of .orElseThrow.

Dead simple and under $10, this centrepiece is a Thanksgiving no-brainer. Insert a hook and add a ribbon and it's wall decor. Say thank you twice!
Paint your foam ball brown ( if you leave it unpainted, little glimpses of white will remain visible in your final project and it just does not look that nice so I highly recommend you paint the ball a dark colour (black would do too, but brown is better and will blend in with the colour scheme of the piece). If you plan to use this as a wall piece, insert a hook into your foam ball (any hook will do).
Lay out your materials and tools so you can work fast with the glue gun.
I recommend you create a ring first; alternating pumpkins and pine ones around the ball, creating one "ring".
Then fill out the rest of the ball positioning pumpkins and pone cones tightly together.
When dry ( within minutes) position ball into the low terracotta pot and voila!


This should be less than a third of the cost of framing... Most of my auction buys are between 50kr and 500kr, sans frame. Normally BB goes for around 1500, I got it for exactly 500 so I am satisfied. The framing of this summers purchases will cost me a minor fortune though; at least a months salary!

Q: Loading components as soon as possible A rookie question from someone who started learning Angular.
I am considering using it for a new version of a system that manages order handling.
As an example there will be a route ( ex: /customers/3425 ) which will load the customer info ( and form for editing ) in one component and underneath this other components conserning the customer. A component with a list of contact persons, a list of ongoing orders, quotations, invoices etc.
Examples of what will get the data for each component :

*

*getCustomerInfo(3425) fast

*getCustomerContacts(3425)

*getOrders(3425)

*getInvoices(3425) many invoices -> slow
My question is if I with angular should expect it to show the fastloaded customer-info very fast and then the other components as soon as they are done fetching the items from API?
Right now it's running an older asp.net forms solution that doesn't even show the customer until it is done loading all invoices, which in some cases takes a long time, and thats what I would like to make different. A lot of times we don't even need to wait for the invoices to list in a customer view - if we just need to add a contact, create an order or something else.

CHAPTER XXV. HENRY VII. A.D. 1485 - 1509.
Henry Tudor married the Lady Bessee as soon as he came to London, and by this marriage the causes of the Red and white Roses were united; so that he took for his badge a great rose - half red and half white. You may see it carved all over the beautiful chapel that he built on to Westminster Abbey to be buried in.
He was not a very pleasant person; he was stiff, and cold, and dry, and very mean and covetous in some ways - though he liked to make a grand show, and dress all his court in cloth of gold and silver, and the very horses in velvet housings, whenever there was any state occasion. Nobody greatly cared for him; but the whole country was so worn out with the troubles of the Wars of the Roses, that there was no desire to interfere with him; and people only grumbled, and said he did not treat his gentle, beautiful wife Elizabeth as he ought to do, but was jealous of her being a king's daughter. There was one person who did hate him most bitterly, and that was the Duchess of Burgundy, the sister of Edward IV. and Richard III.: the same who, as I told you, encouraged printing so much. She felt as if a mean upstart had got into the place of her brothers, and his having married her niece did not make it seem a bit the better to her. There was one nephew left - the poor young orphan son of George, Duke of Clarence - but he had always been quite silly, and Henry VII. had him watched carefully, for fear some one should set him up to claim the crown. He was called Earl of Warwick, as heir to his grandfather, the king-maker.
Suddenly, a young man came to Ireland and pretended to be this Earl of Warwick. He deceived a good many of the Irish, and the Mayor of Dublin actually took him to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where he was crowned as King Edward the Sixth: and then he was carried to the banquet upon an Irish chieftain's back. He came to England with some Irish followers, and some German soldiers hired by the duchess; and a few, but not many, English joined him. Henry met him at a village called Stoke, near Newark, and all his Germans and Irish were killed, and he himself made prisoner. Then he confessed that he was really a baker's son named Lambert Simnel; and, as he turned out to be a poor weak lad, whom designing people had made to do just what they pleased, the king took him into his kitchen as a scullion; and, as he behaved well there, afterwards set him to look after the falcons, that people used to keep to go out with to catch partridges and herons.
But after this, a young man appeared under the protection of the Duchess of Burgundy, who said he was no other than the poor little Duke of York, Richard, who had escaped from the Tower when his brother was murdered. Englishmen, who came from Flanders, said that he was a clever, cowardly lad of the name of Peter (or Perkin) Warbeck, the son of a townsman of Tournay; but the duchess persuaded King James IV. of Scotland to believe him a real royal Plantagenet. He went to Edinburgh, married a beautiful lady, cousin to the king, and James led him into England at the head of an army to put forward his claim. But nobody would join him, and the Scots did not care about him; so James sent him away to Ireland, whence he went to Cornwall. However, he soon found fighting was of no use, and fled away to the New Forest, where he was taken prisoner. He was set in the stocks, and there made to confess that he was really Perkin Warbeck and no duke, and then he was shut up in the Tower. But there he made friends with the real Earl of Warwick, and persuaded him into a plan for escape; but this was found out, and Henry, thinking that he should never have any peace or safety whilst either of them was alive, caused Perkin to be hanged, and poor innocent Edward of Warwick to be beheaded.
It was thought that this cruel deed was done because Henry found that foreign kings did not think him safe upon the throne while one Plantagenet was left alive, and would not give their children in marriage to his sons and daughters. He was very anxious to make grand marriages for his children, and make peace with Scotland by a wedding between King James and his eldest daughter, Margaret. For his eldest son, Arthur, Prince of Wales, he obtained Katharine, the daughter of the King of Aragon and Queen of Castille, and she was brought to England while both were mere children. Prince Arthur died when only eighteen years old; and King Henry then said that they had been both such children that they could not be considered really married, and so that Katharine had better marry his next son, Henry, although everyone knew that no marriage between a man and his brother's widow could be lawful. The truth was that he did not like to give up all the money and jewels she had brought; and the matter remained in dispute for some years - nor was it settled when King Henry himself died, after an illness that no one expected would cause his death. Nobody was very sorry for him, for he had been hard upon everyone, and had encouraged two wicked judges, named Dudley and Empson, who made people pay most unjust demands, and did everything to fill the king's treasury and make themselves rich at the same time.
It was a time when many changes were going on peacefully. The great nobles had grown much poorer and less powerful; and the country squires and chief people in the towns reckoned for much more in the State. Moreover, there was much learning and study going on everywhere. Greek began to be taught as well as Latin, and the New Testament was thus read in the language in which the apostles themselves wrote; and that led people to think over some of the evil ways that had grown up in their churches and abbeys, during those long, grievous years, when no one thought of much but fighting, or of getting out of the way of the enemy.
The king himself, and all his family, loved learning, and nobody more than his son Henry, who - if his elder brother had lived - was to have been archbishop of Canterbury.
It was in this reign, too, that America was discovered - though not by the English, but by Christopher Columbus, an Italian, who came out in ships that were lent to him by Isabel, the Queen of Spain, mother to Katharine, Princess of Wales. Henry had been very near sending Columbus, only he did not like spending so much money. How ever, he afterwards did send out some ships, which discovered Newfoundland. Henry died in the year 1509.

APNewsBreak: Europe faces jihadist threat
BERLIN (AP) – With France's deadly attacks, Islamic terror has apparently struck once more in the heart of Europe _ and authorities say there's a dangerous twist: the emergence of homegrown extremists operating independent of any known networks, making them hard to track and stop.
"We have a different kind of jihadist threat emerging and it's getting stronger," Europol chief Rob Wainwright told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from The Hague. "It is much more decentralized and harder to track."
France's motorcycle gunman traumatized a nation heading into presidential elections and spread fear across the continent that the specter of al-Qaida was once again threatening daily life.
Mohamed Merah, a 23-year-old Frenchman of Algerian descent, sowed his terror over the course of nine days, killing paratroopers, Jewish children and a rabbi. He died Thursday in a shootout after police raided the Toulouse apartment where he had been holed up.
Merah traveled to Afghanistan and Pakistan and had claimed to have trained with al-Qaida there, but French authorities said Thursday they had no evidence that he had any contact with terrorist groups or that al-Qaida had ordered the killings.
Wainwright warned that Europe faces a tough challenge ahead.
Combating individuals acting in apparent isolation, he said, will take smarter measures in monitoring the Internet, better intelligence and international cooperation in counterterrorism efforts.
And he conceded there were limits to what law enforcement officials can do. "We can't police the Internet," he said.
Other European terror authorities echoed that view, saying that apprehending suspicious individuals with no clear connections to terrorist networks is legally problematic.
"We have one law for war, one law for peace, but we don't have a law for the current situation," said Alain Chouet, a former intelligence director at France's DGSE spy agency.
"If we stopped (Merah) three weeks ago, what would people have said? 'Why are you stopping him? What did he do?'"
German officials expressed the same frustration in the case of Arid Uka, a Kosovo Albanian who gunned down two American airmen and wounded two others last year at the Frankfurt airport before being captured. Aside from illegally acquiring a handgun, the 22-year-old, who was convicted last month, had committed no crime until he shot his first victim in the back of the head.
"A group preparing an attack with bombs or other instruments is running the danger of being detected," said a high-ranking German intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.
"A single person or a group of two, they have a greater chance of not being observed by security forces or getting tracked by police. It is very hard to find individuals like this and stop them from acting."
Some experts believe that al-Qaida's new strategy is, in fact, to stop acting like a network.
Encouraging individuals to carry out terrorist attacks, without organizing them in cells, has become integral to the terrorist organization's modus operandi, said Noman Benotman, a former jihadist with links to al-Qaida and who now works for the London-based Quilliam Foundation.
"They are part of the overall al-Qaida strategy, and they are part of the instructions _ or suggestions, if you will _ for groups and individuals seeking guidance or inspiration," he said.
Benotman, who maintains contact with the jihadist community, said that since the death of Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida's strategy has evolved to include more individual attacks, rather than the heavily choreographed and expensive operations seen in the Sept. 11 attacks or the London suicide bombings in 2005.
The German intelligence official noted that al-Qaida theorist Abu Musab al-Suri published a book about 10 years ago putting forth the strategy of "leaderless resistance." The official said that with Internet propaganda, "you don't need any teacher or some other person any more to push people toward these actions."
Wainwright also sees al-Qaida's hidden influence in the France attacks.
"He was acting in line with al-Qaida inspired tactics, and although it may not have been closely coordinated, it was certainly al-Qaida inspired," he said.
Wainwright said Merah lacked the professionalism of terrorists of the past. He said the gunman seemed divided between wanting to increase his death toll and publicizing his acts by filming his deeds and bragging about them.
"It is very telling that he filmed his exploits," he said. "Still, in spite of the mistakes, he managed to carry out significant damage. … That is the challenge for us."
A British security official said the key to targeting this brand of individualized terror was figuring out whether people were simply thinking extremist thoughts or would truly turn violent.
"We prefer the term self-starting over lone wolf," the official told the AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of his work.
"But the reality is that there are hosts of people like this out there and most of them will never do anything. You have to have information to suggest they are about to do something. Unfortunately, there are no thought police."
There are, nonetheless, plenty of recent examples of the dangers of terrorists working in isolation:
_ Maj. Nidal Hasan, a U.S. Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people during the Fort Hood, Texas, shooting rampage in 2009.
_ Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Swede, who targeted Christmas shoppers in Stockholm in December and blew himself up.
_ Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was sentenced last month to life in prison after admitting he attempted to blow up an international flight with a bomb in his underwear as the plane approached Detroit on Christmas 2009.
President Barack Obama said last summer that a "lone wolf" terror attack in the U.S. is more likely than a major coordinated effort like 9/11.
In the case of Merah, it's still too early to know whether he was acting alone or had outside support.
Authorities are trying to determine whether Merah's 29-year-old brother, Abdelkader, was involved, and are searching for accomplices who might have encouraged Merah to kill or furnished the means to do so.
Merah told negotiators he killed to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children and to protest the French army's involvement in Afghanistan as well as France's law against the Islamic face veil.
French authorities have acknowledged that Merah had been under surveillance for years and that his travels to Afghanistan and Pakistan were known to French intelligence, raising the question of whether security services might have been able to act against him before he was able to carry out his attacks.
German Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich told German media that there were striking similarities between the Uka and Merah attacks, and that it drives home the need for a "security partnership" between intelligence services and Muslim groups and communities.
"We need them to report the first signs," he said. "We need the help of society."

New Service Helps Operators Find &
Manage Distribution Partners
"Magpie Promotes" matches tour & activity operators to distribution partners worldwide
San Francisco, September 23, 2020: Magpie Travel, the San Francisco-based company offering content management solutions for the Tours & Activities sector, announced the launch of Magpie Promotes. The new service provides Tour & Activity operators with sales and account management focused on OTAs and other online and offline resellers.
Discussing the service, Magpie's Head of New Growth Initiatives, Baidi Li, said "Most tour operators have had to cut staff numbers quite severely, and don't have a sales force — in many cases even a single salesperson — who can help them find, contract and then manage their products with relevant distribution partners."
"At the same time, major OTAs have cut their staff numbers, and there are quite a few experienced Product & Market Managers looking for work. We've put together a team with many years experience in product contracting, content optimisation, market development and distribution strategy that we can assign to an Operator account depending on their specific needs. Using this approach an Operator can spend a modest amount of money each month and in return have experienced professionals helping them get their product "ready for prime time" and pitching it to key OTAs and resellers. It's a particularly relevant program for the market as it emerges from 2020's severe downturn."
Li says Magpie Promotes also makes sense for resellers. "Resellers, particularly the larger OTAs, have very specific demands around quality, availability and other issues that operators often don't fully understand. The Magpie Promotes team will bring them products that are already loaded in Magpie, meet all their quality and related standards, and are 100% ready for onboarding. For resellers, that's a real plus," she said.
Among early customers for the service is Singapore-based culinary tours and cooking experience operator Wok 'n' Stroll. Founder Karni Tomer said her company had worked hard to create a product range that should be attractive to OTAs such as Tripadvisor and Airbnb, but the company did not have the resources to tackle the task of managing content across multiple, resellers, or building a global distribution channel. "I am full of product ideas and there are new markets I'd like to focus on. Right now we just don't have the people, the connections or the time to make that happen ourselves. With Magpie Promotes, we can get our product content optimised, updated and managed in a single location, and the Magpie team helps me strategise and negotiate contracts with the most important resellers and OTAs. I am really impressed by their technology and expertise" she said.

Operators using the service will pay a fixed monthly fee which includes the loading of their product into Magpie's cloud-based content management system. Additional services such as translations and product rewrites are charged separately. Magpie Promotes is available now.

Q: Linux GRE keep alive What are possibilities in Linux kernel (?) to work with Cisco endpoint encorporating GRE keep-alives? We have GRE IPsec tunnel set up with another company. We would like to have backup tunnel which should be active when main one dies. So they enable GRE keep-alives on the first one which will detect failure and switch routing to the backup tunnel. We are dependent on technology proposed by them (another solutions can't be used). How can we accomplish such communication? I was surprised finding nothing about it in iproute2 nor kernel. Only this popped up, but it does not seem to be reliable for production use.
UPDATE:
Our current configuration is:

*

*Ubuntu server 14.04 LTS, kernel 3.13.0-24-generic

*racoon and setkey daemon for managing IPsec

*iproute2 for bringing tunnel up in gre mode
We must use GRE keep-alives. They told us there is no way (well, not technically, but I guess it's their policy) to establish backup tunnel unless we enable keep-alives.
The question is, is it possible using server configuration mentioned above?

A: This is related only partially to keepalives. Basically you need to establish a second GRE tunnel and implement some mechanism to detect tunnel failures (though it can be done with keepalives, usually it's done with HELO protocol messages or BFD protocol layer on top of dynamic routing, designed especially for this purpose). A common approach will be using any sort of dynamic routing, but not RIP (regardless of it's version) - since RIP isn't suited for multi-path operations and basically holds only one route for a destination. OSPF will be fine, EIGRP (but since it's proprietary, you cannot use it on Linux since there's no open implementations of it), IS-IS, iBGP.
You can also consider getting rid of GRE and implement a VTI tunnel, since Linux kernel is capable of it.

Eva Doesn't Sleep
Directed by Pablo Aguero
Argentina, 1952: The death of Eva Peron sparks a 25-year clash between opposing military coups over the burial of her embalmed corpse, now a beloved and hated political symbol. Evita's posthumous legacy is told through a series of isolated incidents featuring the expert doctor obsessively carrying out her embalming, an army colonel's secret mission to transport the body back to Argentina, and the kidnapping of a military dictator who is forced to reveal the corpse's location.

High-risk CLL remains a clinical challenge, even in the era of the novel targeted agents, such as ibrutinib, venetoclax and idelalisib. Particularly Richter transformation, which is a common presentation of relapsed disease after targeted therapy, remains very difficult to treat. In the second funding period of the KFO-286, we began to focus our efforts on characterizing high-risk CLL, as well as the discovery of molecular mechanisms of drug resistance and transformation. To further engage with the scientific community working on aggressive lymphomas and transformed disease, we organized the Cologne DLBCL Symposium. The first meeting takes place on February 1st in the new lecture hall of the Max Planck Institute for Aging Research in Cologne. We have assembled an illustrious list of confirmed speakers, as well as numerous poster presentations (Download Programme here). The symposium is organized and co-funded by the KFO-286 (led by M. Hallek and C. Reinhardt) and the Center for Integrated Oncology Cologne-Bonn (CIO, speaker M. Hallek).


"Punjab Government Financing Front Group for Lashkar-e-Taiba Terrorists"
With the change in the political guard in Pakistan following the May 11 general election, apprehensions have grown in India regarding the strategy of the newly-crowned government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to fight Kashmir-centric militant groups, especially the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and its various incarnations. Even though Sharif vowed to curb militant proxies operating against India and promised a thorough probe into the role of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in the attacks against India, these promises seemed to crumble when the Punjab provincial administration, led by Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N), allocated $620,000 to facilities run by the proscribed charity, Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the parent body of the notorious Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist group that carried out the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai. The funds were allocated to the JuD/LeT's Markaz-e-Taiba, the group's sprawling headquarters at Muridke (Punjab Province) for the fiscal year 2013-14.

A good little net tent, but roomy enough for 1+gear or for two shoulder to shoulder. Needs external support—hiking poles or trees at the least, and must be staked out for proper pitching. Net tent only; does not include tarp/rain fly.
My main reasons for getting this tent was that I wanted to have a shelter that would allow me to set up the tarp first if it were raining. I have a hammock system that works the same way, and it's come in handy before. I already owned a hammocking tarp (Warbonnet Outdoors Superfly) to keep me dry and just needed a bug-free enclosure to hang beneath it.
Bear Paw WD makes the Minimalist 2 Net Tent (and other products) to order, which means that you may have a bit of a wait, but also means that they are able to customize your items as needed. I opted for a long version of the tent, with a zipper (double pull) that extended halfway along one side, across the entire front, and halfway along the other side. This allows either occupant to climb in/out without disturbing the other, if used by two.
In addition, the extended opening allows the tent to be "peeled" open if needed, allowing easier entrance/exit. With the extra fabric rolled up, one could sit inside the tent with your cooking gear just outside—easily in reach and without the tent fabric getting in the way.
The tent does depend on fabric tension to keep it upright, so I noticed the sides got a little sag to the when the front was completely opened in this manner. Zipping closed restored the tension to the fabric.
Besides this minor issue, the only other thing that's caught my eye is the fact that the six-cornered base only has four stake anchor points, leaving two corners without a means to keep them stretched taut. This isn't a big deal, in my opinion: the floorplan on the website is not quite to scale, and the angle of the two unstaked corners is very close to a straight line. I think it would have been good to have an option to pull all of the corners taut (for those of us who get a little OCD).
Besides the zipper options, Bear Paw WD offers choices of bottom and end fabrics (both front and rear; silnylon ripstop, or cuben). The standard endcaps are mesh, and the bathtub sides come up 2.5" but can optionally be purchased as 8" sides (silnylon or cuben floors).
I opted for a silnylon front wall, as I planned to have that end of my tarp (Superfly) kept open, and the silnylon would still afford privacy. Besides these choices (available via the website their website), I contacted the company and asked to have some fabric gear loops sewed into the seams at key points on the inside, which they did without any problems.
The Bear Paw has a video showing how to pitch the tent, but no written instructions. The video only shows how to set up the tent itself, and doesn't include instructions for combining it with a tarp. As such, I had to play around with the tent, tarp, and trekking poles a few times to come up with a system that works. I'm now able to set everything up in about 20 minutes without getting anything wet but the tarp.
My tarp is kept in homemade snakeskins, so if the weather is nice I can quickly stow the tarp and still have it ready to use on short notice. This would allow me to take advantage of the great visibility provided by the mesh walls and ceiling.
The tent comes with a silnylon stuff sack and two Easton aluminum spreader bars (18" long when pitched; 9" long when packed) for the ceiling, to given more volume to the tent. Placing the bars is easy, but removing them takes a little finesse. They definitely increase the usable space within the tent, though. Using this solo, I had plenty of room for all of my gear, and still some room left over.
Don't expect a lot of additional features with this tent (unless you add them to your order)—as the name suggests, this is a minimalist tent; it will keep the bugs out, but that's about it. This job, it does very well.
Besides backyard practice with the tent, I've only camped with it once. After 18 hours of driving to get to Intercamp 2015, I was able to get the tent set up in light rain, at 1 a.m., without any problems and without getting wet! At that time of night, I didn't notice that I had pitched somewhat close to an anthill. The ants spent plenty of time crawling over the outside, but I never had an issue inside the tent.
Welcome to Trailspace, Graham! Thanks for sharing a helpful review of this BearPaw net tent. I'd love to see some pictures of your custom tent, if you're willing to add them to your review.
I like the idea of a bigger bug net. I have trouble reading in mine at night since it's so puny. I think I can picture what you explained in your review. Could you post the weight too? I went to check out their site. Cool to see some smaller co. products.
Nice pictures, Graham. Thanks for adding them.

It is not often that a Year 9 student is a published author, but Marsden Whitby student and avid scribe Cassidy Abbot is just that. He has written a book called "The Wicked Plum Tree" which is now available at the Porirua Library.
Based on three wonderfully eccentric characters in his life Cassidy has created a magical story about a plum tree that refuses to produce fruit. His grandmother, author/artist/actor/historian, Dinah Priestley, was an important mentor to the project and also helped to illustrate the book.
As part of the Porirua Youth Award Cassidy was given last year he said he wanted to support and encourage other budding writers. His tip for them is: Keep at it! "If you don't have enough money to self-publish, you'll have to go through editors and big companies, and not all of the companies may want the book. You have to submit and resubmit sometimes, but at the end of all the hassle, a book with your name on it comes out, and that is the greatest satisfaction of all."
Porirua Children's Librarian, Bee Trugeon has profiled Cassidy in her blog. Here is the link http://porirualibrary.org.nz/…/Children-…/Bee-s-Bookish-Blog.

vaishnava or vaishnavam (Sanskrit: vaiṣṇava), which is the vriddhi form of Vishnu meaning "relating, belonging, or sacred to Vishnu" or "a worshiper or follower of Vishnu".
The Four Vaishnava Sampradayas
Gaudiya Vaishnava
Alvars
Vaishnava tilak
Vaishnava Upanishads
The system of Hindu beliefs and practices that honor Vishnu/Krishna as Supreme God; probably the most widely followed kind of Hinduism. Bhakti yoga is the primary practice of this religion, the final reward of which is eternal communion with God.
The most famous of this god's many names are Vishnu, Narayana, Hari, Bhagavan, Krishna, and Rama; hence the usage Vishnu/Krishna. Vaishnavism's ancient name, Bhagavata ("followers of the Blessed Lord, i. e. , Bhagavan"), may clarify its beginnings, for it makes a connection with the movement's two most important literary works: the Bhagavad Gita (first put in print ca. 150 BC) and the Bhagavata Purana (Shrimad Bhagavatam, ca. 850-900).
Though the tradition began earlier, two things became clear by about 200 BC: the Bhagavatas related to their god, Krishna, by devotion and accepted the Vedas and Upanishads, the scriptures of Brahmanic Hindu religion. In this process the Brahmanic deities Vishnu and Narayana became identified with Bhagavan Krishna. Thereafter, Krishna has been viewed as an incarnation (avatara) of the Supreme God Vishnu (by South Indian Vaishnavas), and Vishnu has been viewed as a subordinate form of the Supreme God Krishna (by North Indian Vaishnavas).
The Bhagavad Gita is the earliest full statement of the Bhagavata synthesis. Krishna teaches a path of salvation: desire-free performance of one's born duty should be combined with the meditative wisdom of the Upanishads, suffused by and culminating in loving devotion to Krishna.
Within traditional Vaishnavam there are four main sampradaya (disciplic lineages), each of which traces its roots back to a specific Vedic personality. The four sampradayas follow subtly different philosophical systems regarding the relationship between the jiva (Self) and Vishnu (Supreme), although the majority of other core beliefs are identical.
Rudra-Sampradaya
Philosophy: Shuddhadvaita ("pure nondualism"), espoused by Vishnuswami and Vallabhacharya.
Brahma-Sampradaya
Philosophy: dvaita-advaita ("dualism"), espoused by Madhvacharya, and Achintya Bheda Abheda ("inconceivable oneness and difference"), espoused by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (see Gaudiya Vaishnava).
Lakshmi-Sampradaya
Philosophy: Vishishtadvaita ("qualified nondualism"), espoused by Ramanujacharya.
Kumara-Sampradaya
Philosophy: Dvaitadvaita ("duality in unity"), espoused by espoused by Nimbarka.
The Ramanandi movement, begun by Ramananda.
Mahapuruxiya Dharma, espoused by Sankardeva.
The Gaudiya Vaishnava branch of the tradition has significantly increased the awareness of Vaishnavam on an international basis over the past fifty years, largely through the activities and geographical expansion of the Hare Krishna movement (ISKCON).
With the help of Alvars, a set of twelve people who with their devotional hymns spread the sect to the common people, Vaishnavism flourished in South India. Some of the prominent Alvars are:
Poigai Alvar
Bhoothathalvar
Peyalvar
Thirumalisai Alvar
Madhurakavi Alvar
Nammalvar
Periyalvar
Kulasekara Alvar
Thondaradippodi Alvar
Thiruppaana Alvar
Thirumangai Alvar
Vaishnavam is still particularly commonplace throughout South India as a result of the Alvars, especially in Tamil Nadu. The temples which the Alvars visited or founded are now known as Divya Desams. Their poems in praise of Vishnu in Tamil language are collectively known as Naalayira (Divya Prabandha).
In later years Vaishnava practices increased in popularity due to the influence of sages like Ramanuja, Vedantha Desikar, Surdas, Tulsidas, Tyagaraja, etc…
The different Vaishnava sampradayas each have their own distinctive style of Tilak which depict the siddhanta of their particular lineage:
In the Vallabha, Rudra-sampradaya the tilak worn is generally a single vertical red line. This line represents Yamuna devi. The form of Krishna worshiped in the Vallabha line is Sri Nathji or Govardhana. The consort of the Govardhana hill is the river Yamuna. Their process of surrender goes through Yamuna devi.
The Madhva sampradaya mark two vertical lines representing Krishna's 'lotus feet'. In between a vertical black line is made from the daily coal of the yajna-kunda (fire sacrifice). In their sampradaya, the process of worship involves 'nitya-homa', or daily fire sacrifices to Narayana or Krishna. The remnant coal of the puja (worship) is used each day to mark the forehead. Underneath the black line, a yellow or red dot is added to indicate either Lakshmi or Radharani. Those who did not perform daily fire sacrifice wear the simple two line tilak only.
In the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya the tilak is usually made out of mud from Vrindavan. The main tilak is basically identical to the Madhva tilak. The slight difference arose due to the emphasis on the chanting (japa and kirtan) in the Gaudiya tradition. In Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's line, chanting is given as the essential devotional (bhakti) activity to be performed in Kali yuga in preference to fire sacrifices. As such, the black line made from the ash of the fire sacrifice is not included. The second difference arose due to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's process of approaching Krishna. In the Gaudiya line devotees do not approach Radha and Krishna directly, but always indirectly through their servant. To indicate this, the red dot representing Radha is replaced with a tulsi leaf offered at the base of Krishna's feet. In Gaudiya belief only through the mercy of Tulsi Devi (or another pure devotee) can pure devotion to Radha & Krishna or Krishna & Balarama be awakened.
Members of the Sri Vaishnava tradition form tilak with two lines representing the feet of Narayana, with a red line in the middle which representing Lakshmidevi. Because the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya begins with Lakshmi, and because they approach Narayana through Lakshmi, their tilak reflects this process of surrender. A variant to this is found within the Ramanandi sect, begun by Ramananda, who wear a similar tilak design but in reference to Sita and Rama (whom their devotion is focused upon) rather than Lakshmi and Narayana.
In Nimbarka Sampradaya, the tilak is made of Gopi-Chandana (the clay from Gopi Kunda lake in Dwarka, Gujarat), as described in the Vasudeva Upanishad. It starts at the bridge of the nose and continues as two vertical lines to the top of the forehead. This is said to represent the temple of God. Within these lines, between the eyebrows is a black dot, made from the slate found in Barsana, Uttar Pradesh, the sacred birthplace of Radha. This is said to represent God as Radha and Krishna together. This tilak personifies the tenets of the Sampradaya, that God is Radha and Krishna together, none else. It is supposed to have been first given to Nimbarka at the time of his initiation to the Sage, Narada. The tilak is first given to an initiate by their guru at the time of initiation, and after this, daily the devotee will remember his guru before he adorns the tilaka on his head.
Of the 108 Upanishads of the Muktika, 13 are considered Vaishnava Upanishads. They are listed with their associated Veda (SV, ŚYV, KYV, AV):
Nṛsiṃhatāpanī (AV)
Mahānārāyaṇa (AV)

Q: How can I create a video file from a set of jpg images? I am attempting to create a video file from a set of JPG images. I have adapted the instructions given in this question but have experienced some issues.
Firstly, not all of the required packages are available, but are replaced by libav-tools, which is already installed - so I think that's not an actual problem?
My files are named image-NN.jpg (NN being an integer) and I have used the command
avconv -i "image-%d.jpg" -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 20  -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mov

as per the linked question, but this just gives a No such file image-%d.jpg error. I
I tried changing it to
avconv -i "image-*.jpg" -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 20  -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mov

and this produces a video file of length 0:00 that appears to only contain one frame. (I am guessing that the * has used the first match, rather than every match).
This question gives a slightly different way of formatting the file name, so I tried
avconv -i "image-%02d.jpg" -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 20  -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mov

This produces a larger file, and makes a video that lasts for about 3 seconds (approx the length I was expecting) but it contains just the first frame.
Another answer on the first linked question suggests using ImageMagick, so I gave this a try
convert -delay 1 image-*.jpg output.mp4

But this produced an error
convert.im6: delegate failed `"ffmpeg" -v -1 -mbd rd -trellis 2 -cmp 2 -subcmp 2 -g 300 -i "%M%%d.jpg" "%u.%m" 2> "%Z"' @ error/delegate.c/InvokeDelegate/1065.

The version of avconv is
carl@number1 ~/Scott's stop-motion/1 $ avconv -version
avconv version 9.18-6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1, Copyright (c) 2000-2014 the Libav developers
built on Mar 16 2015 13:19:10 with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1)
avconv 9.18-6:9.18-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
libavutil     52.  3. 0 / 52.  3. 0
libavcodec    54. 35. 0 / 54. 35. 0
libavformat   54. 20. 4 / 54. 20. 4

libavresample  1.  0. 1 /  1.  0. 1
libswscale     2.  1. 1 /  2.  1. 1

Where am I going wrong, and what do I need to do?
Additional:
It was suggested that I list every file individually, so with a bit of Python I generated this
avconv -i image-01.jpg image-02.jpg image-03.jpg image-04.jpg image-05.jpg image-06.jpg image-07.jpg image-08.jpg image-09.jpg image-10.jpg image-11.jpg image-12.jpg image-13.jpg image-14.jpg image-15.jpg image-16.jpg image-17.jpg image-18.jpg image-19.jpg image-20.jpg image-21.jpg image-22.jpg image-23.jpg image-24.jpg image-25.jpg image-26.jpg image-27.jpg image-28.jpg image-29.jpg image-30.jpg image-31.jpg image-32.jpg image-33.jpg image-34.jpg image-35.jpg image-36.jpg image-37.jpg image-38.jpg image-39.jpg image-40.jpg image-41.jpg image-42.jpg image-43.jpg image-44.jpg image-45.jpg image-46.jpg image-47.jpg image-48.jpg image-49.jpg image-50.jpg image-51.jpg image-52.jpg image-53.jpg image-54.jpg image-55.jpg image-56.jpg image-57.jpg image-58.jpg image-59.jpg image-60.jpg image-61.jpg image-62.jpg image-63.jpg image-64.jpg image-65.jpg image-66.jpg image-67.jpg image-68.jpg image-69.jpg image-70.jpg image-71.jpg image-72.jpg image-73.jpg image-74.jpg image-75.jpg image-76.jpg image-77.jpg image-78.jpg image-79.jpg image-80.jpg image-81.jpg image-82.jpg image-83.jpg image-84.jpg image-85.jpg image-86.jpg image-87.jpg image-88.jpg  -r 25 -c:v libx264 -crf 20  -pix_fmt yuv420p movie.mov

This had the same effect as previous - only the first frame is used.
Additional: This question has been suggested as a possible duplicate, but it relates to acquiring images using a webcam connected to a PC. This is not the issue I am having. I already have the photos; they were taken with an ordinary digital camera.

A: You can use ffmpeg, which you can install with the command:
sudo apt install ffmpeg

This is the command all together:
ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i image-%05d.jpg -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p output.mp4

Let me break it down:
-framerate

is the number of frames (images) per second,
-i image-%05d.jpg

this determines the file name sequence it looks for. image- means all of the files start with this. The d indicates decimal integers, 5 is number of digits, the leading zero indicates that numbers requiring fewer digits will be filled, in the left, with zeroes so that every number contains exactly 5 digits. Thus the files it will detect are everything from image-00000 to image-99999.
-c:v libx264 -profile:v high -crf 20 -pix_fmt yuv420p

-c:v libx264 - the video codec is libx264 (H.264).
-profile:v high - use H.264 High Profile (advanced features, better quality).
-crf 20 - constant quality mode, very high quality (lower numbers are higher quality, 18 is the smallest you would want to use).
-pix_fmt yuv420p - use YUV pixel format and 4:2:0 Chroma subsampling
output.mp4

The file name (output.mp4)
Remember that ffmpeg needs a continuous sequence of images to load in. If it jumps from image-00001 to image-00003 it will stop.
If your images are named like this:
image-1
image-2
...
image-35

then change the -i part to -i image-%00d.

Update. Your edit says the pattern is image-01.jpg to image-02.jpg. That means you need the image-%02d.jpg pattern.

A: If you don't want to waste your time with the file naming and order I would recommend to take a look into:
-pattern_type glob

Credits for this goes this very comprehensive answer to How to create a video from images with FFmpeg?
It will also provide several examples.

A legal separation is often the first step during the uncoupling process. If you and your spouse are not yet ready to call it quits on your marriage, but know the relationship needs to end in its current state, a Legal Separation is a supportive option. It may also be a good alternative to divorce for many reasons.
When you obtain a legal separation, you and your spouse will remain married but the court can divide property and issue orders relating to child custody, parent plan visitation, child support, spousal support, and, if necessary, a restraining order. If you decide that your separation will not just be temporary, but permanent, then you'll need to obtain a Final Judgment for Legal Separation, which is a mutual agreement between both parties.
While you and your spouse are deciding if a temporary separation is right for you, contact Family Law Center today to discuss your decision with one of our qualified attorneys. Call us at (916) 488-5088 or email us at info@FamilyLawCenter.us.
