Young men and woman who are killed on active service are said to have paid the "supreme sacrifice". I guess that is true. There's not much more than you can give than that. But I posit that the greatest sacrifice of all is borne by the families of those killed in the line of duty. Airmen, soldiers and sailors who die in battle are lionized, and rightly so, but it's their mothers, fathers, wives and families who are conscripted to carry the burden of that sacrifice to the end of their days.
The neighbourhood I live in is called the Glebe. It's a funky 130-year old urban community in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada— red brick Victorian homes, some stately, some working class, excellent schools as old as the neighbourhood, tall trees pleached over shady streets, open-minded and highly educated people, happy kids, diverse, desirable and timeless, close to everything, surrounded on three sides by the historic Rideau Canal. People come from all over the city, the country, even the world to walk its pathways, attend its festivals and sporting events and skate the canal. You may find a more upscale neighbourhood, a trendier one, a more affordable one, but you will never find a better one.
It is a truly perfect place to raise a family, build a business and live out a life as I have done. It is safe, historic, dynamic, walkable, serene and peaceful... but once it must have felt like the saddest place on earth. Its shady avenues ran with apprehension and despair, its busy serenity masked the constant high frequency vibration of anxiety and the low pounding of sorrow. Behind every door and every drawn curtain hid anxious families. Behind many were broken parents, heartbroken wives, memories of summers past and lost, the promises of a future destroyed, children who would never know their fathers. These were the years of the Second World War and the decades following that it took to wash it all away.
There was nothing particularly special about the Glebe that brought this plague of anguish, nothing it deserved, nothing that warranted a special attention from death. Indeed, the Glebe was not singled out at all, though it may have felt like it. Every community in Canada and across the British Commonwealth took the same punishment, felt the blows to its heart, felt its life blood seeping away. During these six long years of war, every community across the land stood and took it, blow after blow after blow. Parents stood by while their sons and daughters left the family home, left the routines that gave comfort, the futures that beckoned and began arduous journeys that would, in time, lead most to war and great risk of death.
Some would die in training, others in transit. Some would die of disease and even murder. Some would die in accidents close to home, others deep in enemy lands. Some by friendly fire, others by great malice. Many would simply disappear with no known grave, lost to the sea, a cloud covered mountain, a blinding flash, a trackless jungle. Some would die in an instant, others with prolonged fear and pain. Most would make it home again. An extraordinarily high number would not come home in one piece.
Though it was not alone in its sorrow, the Glebe was the first community in Canada to feel a blow. The first Canadian to die in the war, and in fact the first Allied serviceman who died in the war came from here. Pilot Officer Ellard Cummings, a former Glebe Collegiate Institute student, was killed just a few hours after war was declared on September 3, 1939 when the Westland Wallace he was piloting crashed into a mountain in Scotland in fog. The first Canadians to die on North American soil in the Second World War were from Ottawa, including Glebe resident Corporal David Rennie. He was lost in early September of 1939 along with another Ottawa aviator named Ted Doan, when their Northrop Delta airplane experienced an engine failure and crashed into the New Brunswick wilderness while en route to Cape Breton to join in the search for German submarines. He lived with his parents on Ella Street, just a few blocks from my home. They were the first of many, many families in the Glebe whose lives would be destroyed by the war. Their son would not be found for another 19 years.
Over the years, I have written or published many other stories about Canadian airmen during the Second World War. Several have intersected with my neighbourhood. David Rouleau, who lived just north of my home was lost in 1942 at Malta. Lew Burpee, who lived just a few blocks away was killed a year later during the near-mythical Dam Busters Raid on the Ruhr River dams. In that same one-year span, two cousins who lived right across the street from me were lost on operations—Jim Wilson and Harry Healy. Several blocks north, lived Keith "Skeets" Ogilvie, the last man out of the tunnel during the Great Escape. He narrowly escaped being murdered by the Nazis upon his capture.
Pilot Officer David Francis Gaston Rouleau. Lost in the summer of 1942 trying to get to Malta after launching from HMS Eagle during Operation STYLE. Though Rouleau did not live within the recognized boundaries of the Glebe, he lived just a few blocks north of the neighbourhood along the west bank of the Rideau Canal. It was the proximity of Rouleau's home to mine that first inspired me to research his story, pull his service file from the archives and build a picture of his training, operational history and his final tragic day. It's Rouleau's death that eventually led to the stories of more than 415 others who died in the Glebe and surrounding neighbourhoods during the Second World War.
In May of 2018, on the 75th anniversary of the legendary Dam Busters Raid, I learned that one of the 19 hand-picked elite pilots from that night was Pilot Officer Lewis Johnstone Burpee, who lived in the Glebe, just four blocks from my office. I found his story in an archived page in the Ottawa Journal newspaper from May of 1943. The story included the names of his parents and the address of his family home. I came to understand that when an airman, soldier or sailor was featured in the newspapers of the day, the address of his next-of-kin was nearly always mentioned. Stories of these men were short and usually, but not always, included a photo. These stories fell into several categories—about the serviceman's completion of training, his arrival overseas (telegramming his parents), his awards, medals and promotions, his appearance in casualty lists, reports of being missing in action, his death or capture, his release from prison after the war and eventually his arrival home. The result was thousands of stories over 5 years of the European war and beyond—and half a year of scouring the pages of the now-defunct Ottawa broadsheet daily newspaper.
All these men walked the same streets that I did and still do. I can pass their homes any day, enter their churches, visit their schools. They all went to the Mayfair, Rialto and Imperial Theatres to find out the news about the war or just to escape from it. I still go to the Mayfair to this day. They played hockey on the frozen canal like I used to do. They used the same butcher I use today. This immediacy, this connection is a very powerful thing. It brought home the loss in a very personal way.
When I wrote a story about 617 Squadron Lancaster pilot Lewis Burpee on the 75th Anniversary of the Dam Busters Raid this year, I pinned his and the homes of others I had written about on a map of the Glebe. Seeing these homes and their physical relationship to me and to each other had a very powerful effect on me. In fact, it obsessed me.
This simple map, which I built for my Dam Buster's story six months ago demonstrates the locations of the homes of some of the heroes that grew up in my neighbourhood. These men are just the ones I have come across in my research of disparate stories. It would soon become apparent that there were several hundred others in the area covered by this map. However, in this small sampling, we have an extraordinary representation of some of the most famous and pivotal events and campaigns of the war—a Dam Buster pilot, a Battle of Britain pilot and Great Escape participant, a Spitfire pilot lost during aircraft carrier resupply of Malta, a Coastal Command Beaufighter pilot lost at sea and two men lost on Bomber Command night operations.
I began to wonder how many other stories there were in these streets and avenues. How many more had been lost? How many families were affected? What I found out left me speechless. In the age of the "infographic", I set out to demonstrate visually what that number of fallen meant to my personal community, by mapping death's footprints.
I commenced my search by writing to all the churches in the Glebe and surrounding areas that existed in the Second World War and were still in existence today. Following the First and Second World Wars, many churches in Ottawa dedicated large bronze plaques to commemorate those members of their parish who died in the war. I had seen several over the years. Several churches had photos of these plaques on their websites, while others wrote back to me, attaching photos of their plaques.
There were four major public high schools in downtown Ottawa in 1939—Glebe Collegiate Institute, Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ottawa Technical High School and the High School of Commerce. Of these four, only Glebe and Lisgar still function today—two of Ottawa's finest schools. In the lobby of Lisgar, I found a bronze plaque with the names of those former students who had died in the Second World War. On the Glebe Collegiate website, I found a list of all those Glebe students who had died. I also found an entire section of Glebe Collegiate's website where students had researched most of the names from the plaque and had compiled short histories of each of the fallen alumni.
At the end of May, I began my quest to find and map the fallen in the Glebe. To do this, I would have to find the addresses of every young man listed on these plaques and in Casualty Lists published in the Ottawa daily broadsheet newspapers. In the case of the Glebe history project, many of these addresses were part of their research. I cross-referenced every man in every plaque in every church and school with the Canadian Virtual War Memorial site In the hopes of finding their stories, addresses and photos. I also purchased a Newspapers.com membership and began cross-referencing the dates of each man's death. Though, for privacy reasons, you would never see this today, newspapers almost always included the address of the next of kin. If he was married, both the address of parents and wife could be mentioned. If both were within the boundaries of my map, I used the parental home. I did not map both addresses. Starting with the posted date of the serviceman's death, I scoured every page of each issue of the Ottawa Journal moving forward until I ran into a story about each person's loss. Five months into the search, the Ottawa Citizen became available on-line and more fallen became to light. All of the men who qualified were mentioned in one of the hundreds and hundreds of official casualty lists published in both papers. I did not differentiate the manner of their deaths, though most died on active service. A small proportion died of disease, motor accidents, train wrecks and heart attacks, but if they qualified to be on an official casualty list in the local papers and on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial, then they qualified for this map.
If the man died in Canada in training, the story usually appeared in one to two days, but if he died overseas on active service, it could be weeks before his name appeared in a story or on an official casualty list as either missing in action or killed on active service. If a man was missing in action, then his story would appear in the paper again in one of two ways. In a few months, if he was alive, a story would appear informing readers that he was a POW. If he was dead, the wait would be a bit longer, but in six to eight months, another piece would appear in the paper stating that he was, for official purposes, presumed dead. As 1944 turned into 1945, the tone of newspaper stories took a turn for the better. With the war winding down, the airman or soldier's photo might be accompanied by short headlines like—"Safe in England", "Liberated", or "Returning Home". Still, there was fighting to be done and the Glebe was not out of the woods yet. The killing continued.
In the Glebe as in most urban neighbourhoods at the time, the Grim Reaper took the form of the telegram boy who had the duty to deliver both good and bad news. Mothers, looking out from their front porches, fathers from their parlours, wives from their washing, must have cringed to see the young man from the Canadian National Telegram and Cable Company pedal or drive down their street, and willed them to move on. In all cases, the next-of-kin was informed by telegram before the official casualty lists were published in the paper, but on a few occasions, happy stories (award of medals, a marriage, etc) about a serviceman appeared in the paper after the next-of-kin had been notified of his death. These must have been difficult to read for the parents and families.
My original goal was to map only residents of the Glebe or former students at Glebe Collegiate who were killed or died while on active service. In order to map these men, I needed to extend the map of the Glebe beyond the recognized boundaries of the neighbourhood, as many students of the high school lived outside the neighbourhood. In the end, it seemed the full complete story could not be told unless I mapped each and every one of the fallen—airmen, soldier or sailor—whose next-of-kin resided within the edges of my map, regardless of their connection to the Glebe.
Each pin on the map represents the home of the fallen's next-of-kin. For the most part, this meant the parental home or the marital home (the apartment shared with a wife), but in a few cases, where parents were deceased, this could mean the home of a grandparent, uncle or even sibling. I used only addresses that were mentioned in Casualty Lists or as reported in the daily broadsheet newspapers.
The 415 men I was able to put on my map represent only a tiny fraction of the men and women who died in the war. But among these 392 names I found the complete picture of the war as it affected my country. There were men who died in the opening hours of the war and men who died in the closing days. There were men who died on Valentine's Day, D-Day, Canada Day, Remembrance Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Most died on active service and in combat, but some died of disease and even murder. There were men who died in car accidents overseas and training accidents in Canada. Every major battle that Canadians were involved in is represented by someone in this group—The Battle of the Atlantic, the Battle of France, the Battle of Britain, Battle of Hong Kong, of Ortona, of Monte Cassino, of El Alamein, of Anzio, of the Scheldt Estuary, the Dieppe Raid, Dam Busters Raid, D-Day, Battle for Caen, Battle of the Falaise Pocket, the Siege of Malta, the North African Campaign, the Conquest of Sicily, the Aleutian Campaign, Bomber Command, Fighter Command, Coastal Command, Transport Command, the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, Burma, Singapore and more. Some were lost in the Mediterranean Sea, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel. Some died before they could get to the war, others on their way to the war. Some died after the war but before they could get home. They are buried in Holland, Italy, Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium, Canada, North Africa and of course at sea. Many have no known grave and are commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial, the Malta Memorial, the Halifax Memorial, the Bayeux Memorial, the Groesbeek Memorial, and the Ottawa Memorial.
Having scanned every page of the Ottawa Journal and the Ottawa Citizen from September 1939 to September 1945, I learned that Canada was not the idyllic land I once believed it was in the years leading up to and throughout the war years. I had always imagined a world of church-going, clean-living, Saturday-night-dancing, honour-before-all innocence. The kind of honest and forthright world that gave birth to the Greatest Generation. But it was a world that, in many ways, was far bleaker, harder and unkinder than the world we live in today. Right off the bat, I noticed an extraordinary amount of industrial accidents, horrific workplace injuries, train wrecks, car-train collisions, fires, drownings, and accidents due to unsafe practices. As well theft, robbery, assault and murder seemed as or more common than they are today, multiple murders included. Institutionalized soft-core racism prevailed. Decades of government intervention, prevention and education has, in fact, improved things considerably. Yet, despite the cruel world of 1939, everyone in Canada read from the same page, got their news from the same trusted sources and fundamentally believed in the same things.
In the end, I found 392 names of service men who were included on casualty lists and for whom I found an address. I have another 50 or more names of men who I know were killed but I can't find their addresses. There are, I am convinced others who I haven't yet found on casualty lists. The 392 are by no means all of the men who died and lived in this area—they are only the ones whose story I found. I welcome any additions and omissions. I am presently working with my web developer to display this data on Google Maps, thus enabling us and you to add to the list and perhaps one day, map all of the approximately 110,000 Canadians who died in wars since the Boer War.
In the 13 years of the War in Afghanistan, Canada lost 158 soldiers and seven civilians. Ask any Canadian and they will tell you it was a terrible price. In the five years of the Second World War my small neighbourhood lost more than 400. May we never forget them. Here is the map of the devastation felt by my community in the Second World War—the location of each man's home is shown, followed by their photos. If I found an address but no photo, I used a photo of either their grave stone or the memorial upon which their name is engraved.
This project began as a result of curiosity and then became a Remembrance Day Project that I struggled for months to complete. Sadly, I was still adding names well after the 11th of November. It is now simply an homage to a generation of parents, brothers, sisters, wives and grandparents who carried the terrible weight of sacrifice well into the 21st Century. An homage to the Silver Star Mothers, the broken fathers, the shattered families and the solitary wives. God bless them.


One Brick was founded in San Francisco in December, 2001 with the goal of providing an easy way to get involved and volunteer.
The founding team, Dave Shefferman, Charlotte Rayne and Brian Gee met while volunteering at the San Francisco Food Bank in June 2001. The trio recognized that while many non-profits have the need for volunteers, and many people are interested in volunteering, there are very few organizations that make the volunteer experience convenient and can sustain continued commitment from its volunteers. A new approach was necessary to build a sustainable volunteer pool to support these organizations.
With this in mind, the team set out to understand the motivations and barriers to getting involved in community service, and built an organization that addresses these issues and makes volunteering easy: One Brick.
Every One Brick project we arrange is treated as a stand-alone event. Our 'commitment-free volunteering' allows people to choose when they volunteer, rather than having to make commitments for a certain number of volunteer hours, or agree to be available every week at a specific time. This flexibility makes volunteering convenient and provides opportunities to help when time and schedule commitments allow. This keeps volunteering from being a chore, but rather makes it an easy and enjoyable choice.
Perhaps the most unique component to One Brick's approach is that each chapter within the organization is run entirely by volunteers! One Brick does not have a physical office, or even a telephone. In fact, on a National level, we only have a single employee who works from home and is responsible for paying the bills, dealing with legal and regulatory filings and ensuring the whole thing stays together. Everything else we do is facilitated by a team of volunteers working together to make a difference. Their efforts are returned exponentially with the impact we have on our communities. And yes, there's always room for more people to join the team!
In July 2002, eight months after our launch of One Brick in San Francisco, our fearless co-Founder, Brian moved to New York for graduate school. A One Brick junkie, Brian was determined to copy the model we built in San Francisco and launch a chapter in New York.
In September 2002, that vision became a reality as Dave joined Brian in NY to manage the first weekend of volunteer events in New York. Brian has since completed graduate school and has turned the New York reigns over to the team he built there: Rose, Patrick and Margarethe.
As if joining McKinsey in 2004 and relocating to their Chicago office wasn't enough, Brian set out to recruit a team to run a Chicago chapter of One Brick. In December 2004, One Brick Chicago was born with a great team taking charge and launching a successful chapter nearly overnight!
It appears to be contagious. One of our fearless leaders from the Chicago moved out to DC for grad school. Familiar story? Yup, Amber was so enthused about the great work One Brick does, that she wanted to bring it with her to DC. Conveniently, Brawley (also from the Management Team in Chicago) has a brother, Lindsay, also living in Washington DC. He had heard so much great stuff about One Brick that in the summer of 2006 he teamed up with Amber to make One Brick D.C. happen. The rest is history…in the making.
After the success of the first 4 chapters, the newly-established One Brick board decided to venture into even colder climates in the coldest of months! That's right- in February 2008, One Brick Minneapolis was formed. Minneapolis offered the perfect combination of an exciting group of people up for the challenge of starting a chapter, combined with a city in need of some great volunteers.
The model we developed has been a huge success! In our first 7.1 years, a team of 580 volunteer Event Managers, Technology Developers, Marketers and Fundraisers has grown the organization to over 54000 volunteers, spanning the San Francisco Bay Area, the New York Metropolitan Area, Chicago, Washington DC and Minneapolis.
To date, One Brick has completed 4306 events, delivering 193554.25 hours of community service!

Citrus, green apple and ripe peach. Extremely balanced and elegant with amazing freshness.
This is from the stable of Bodegas Perica, our favourite Rioja producer. The work closely with a winery in Penedes to create this gorgeous Brut Nature Cava.
Brut Nature Cava has to be 0-3 g/l residual sugar. This means you have a far drier style of Cava, close in style to a Brut or Brut Nature Champagne. In fact Cava is made the same way that Champagne is produced, but with different grapes. In Spain it is often called Champan.
Wonderfully aromatic, fruity notes with a crisp dry finish. The perfect wine for celebrations.


The two teased the release on social media today. New music Friday gon' be lit!
Future song of the summer contender?
Camila and Pharrell recently teamed up together on a new song titled "Sangria Wine" (not featured on CC's self-titled), and it's getting a lot of love. So much that Pharrell hopped on stage to perform it with Camila at her show in L.A. on Sunday (April 15).
It's worth mentioning the latter track leaked some time ago, so Camila wasn't too surprised to see fans singing along to it ("I know you guys know this," she said).
Thoughts on Camila's performances of "Sangria Wine" and "Scar Tissue?" Leave a comment below!

I'm Brandon Sanderson, and I write stories of the fantastic: fantasy, science fiction, and thrillers. In November 2020 we saw the release of Rhythm of War—the fourth massive book in the New York Times #1 bestselling Stormlight Archive series that began with The Way of Kings—and Dawnshard (book 3.5), a novella set in the same world that bridges the gaps between the main releases. This series is my love letter to the epic fantasy genre, and it's the type of story I always dreamed epic fantasy could be. November 2018 marked the release of Skyward, the first book in a new YA quartet about a girl who dreams of becoming a pilot in a dangerous world under alien attack. The follow-up, Starsight, was released December 2019. Also out that year was the final volume of the Stephen Leeds saga, Legion: Lies of the Beholder, which was also published in an omnibus edition, Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds, that includes all three volumes. Most readers have noticed that my adult fantasy novels are in a connected universe, called the Cosmere. This includes The Stormlight Archive, both Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, and various novellas available on Amazon, including The Emperor's Soul, which won a Hugo Award in 2013. In November 2016 all of the existing Cosmere short fiction including those novellas was released in one volume called Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection. If you've read all of my adult fantasy novels and want to see some behind-the-scenes information, that collection is a must-read. I also have three YA series: The Rithmatist (currently at one book), The Reckoners (a trilogy beginning with Steelheart), and Skyward. For young readers I also have my humorous series Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. Many of my adult readers enjoy all of those books as well, and many of my YA readers enjoy my adult books, usually starting with Mistborn. Additionally, I have a few other novellas that are more on the thriller/sci-fi side. These include the Legion series, as well as Perfect State and Snapshot. There's a lot of material to go around! Good starting places are Mistborn (a.k.a. The Final Empire), Skyward, Steelheart, The Emperor's Soul, and Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians. If you're already a fan of big fat fantasies, you can jump right into The Way of Kings. I was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan's notes. Sample chapters from all of my books are available at https://www.brandonsanderson.com/books-and-art/—and check out the rest of my site for chapter-by-chapter annotations, deleted scenes, and more.

Amazing book and Narration!
I can not express enough the mastery with which Kate Reading and Michael Kramer deliver Brandon Sanderson's skillful writing. The rhythm that Sanderson writes [with] is flawless and he found readers that deliver that rhythm skillfully and flawlessly. The Storm Father be damned this is amazing! All three books are worth the time spent listening and I have listened to them a couple of times. This is not a series that is replayed elsewhere. It's no wonder that Sanderson was able to finish the the Robert Jordan series so skillfully. He was already able to create worlds and individuals with what seems little effort. ENJOYED this series immensely! Hope you do too!

World's Greatest And Most Popular Online Games
It's not hard to pick the world's most popular browser games. It's tough to choose which ones to play. Here's a list of some games that have the largest player base.
This is a classic that everyone talks about. It's the one that discovered fire, the one that fired the engine of MMOs. In Runescape, you'll find all the classic elements of RPG. You're in a fantasy land where you can explore, talk to NPCs, engage NPC monsters and other players in combat, complete quests, trade, chat and play mini games. There are still over a hundred Runescape servers around, and each server can host up to 2000 players. You can play Runescape on the browser or play old school with a client.
Inno Games has been churning out one good massive multiplayer strategy after another. It was released in 2013, and had 10 million registered players in a year. The game has grown so popular that iPhone, iPad and Android versions have been released since then. What's so great about the game? It's 2D after all…But for those who enjoy strategy, and want to play for a long time, there are some good hoods that you can leverage to grow your city and progress through the ages. Plus, keep an eye out for the fun quests. Gameplay is intuitive and has some of the easiest-to-use controls we've seen on a game this kind.
League of Angels may not be the best MMORPG game out there, but it is certainly popular enough to have spawned a sequel. The game is a 2D fantasy MMORPG by a Chinese game company. If you enjoy looking at gorgeous characters in a beautiful world, you'll enjoy this game. It's a turn-based combat game where you upgrade heroes, participate in special events and play PVP.
DDTank is a classic action shooter that was inspired by the classic Worms game. It's cute, casual and online, with PVP battles and boss battle options. The graphics are cartoonish and fun. It's had over 3.5 million players since it was released, which may partly have to do with the quirky weapons that you get to use (both a nugget or a plunger can make excellent weapons). The game was popular enough to spawn its mobile versions.
BattlestarGalactica Online
BattlestarGalactica is a popular space shooting game that has won several awards, such as the 2012 MMORPG Center Player Choice Awards and the 2011 browser game of the year award. It is slightly dated, but it's still quite popular with people who enjoy space shootout games.

I think this was 1980 - I took the picture, my dad is in there somewhere. Obviously Mr. Canfield in the middle, with Jim Miller to driver's left and Cat Kizer to his right. Behind Kizer is Gene Clayton, behind Canfield is Ray Stone and behind Miller is Mike Lang. Anyone else you can ID?
Jay Lutz points out: "Larry Funk #22 (blue Mk2 with white stripe across bonnet right to left) on the inside of the corner". Also, it was Mike Lang (not Steve Lang) as I had initially posted. There was a Steve Lang that raced HP, but in the late 80's.
Gene Clayton won in '80 over Randy Canfield. Kizer had won the previous year. I was thinking that Charles Guest was in the yellow Mk.2 car in the middle behind Canfield, not Yergler.

5 1/2 x 9 1/4 x 8 1/4 in.
Four books by four different authors are stacked on top of each other and precariously cantilevered to one side. The books' colorful hardbound covers are removed, revealing the unprotected spines and rendering the texts nameless and their separate discourses indistinct. The book pages have been hand cut in a wavelike motion with a knife, fragmenting the black and white text into long steps, like those on ancient Mayan temples. Viewed from atop, the piece appears to be contoured from one large book, but turning it to the side the viewer sees the four delicately balanced text blocks barely held in place by gravity. Thus, from one perspective, the piece represents the fluidity and unity of ideas; from the other perspective, the piece suggests four different authors locked in a debate, which at any point may devolve into chaos—and for which any dialectical resolution is hard to achieve.


We meet in the car park off Croydon Lane (near the Café) for start at 10:00 am for circular walk through woodland, farms, small holdings of the Woodcote Estate. It is an easy walk with few stiles. Lunch after the walk in local pub for those interested.


Before you stock up on the perfect velvet platforms, leather jackets, and fancy silk robes for fall, you might want to get a handle on the rest of your wardrobe. That doesn't mean purging your clothes en masse — instead, give them room to breathe with pretty gold baskets, stackable drawers, and elegant racks.
Because we're not all as organizationally gifted as Marie Kondo's 2-year-old, we've put together a list to help you overhaul your closet. Your delicate fabrics (and your morning routine) will be better for it.
Even your most slippery clothes won't fall off these velvet-covered hangers.
Tiered hangers will keep your skirts and pants neatly arranged without taking up a ton of room.
Have a free space under the bed or below your hanging clothes? Use a breathable organization box for bulkier items like sweaters or sweatshirts.
If you prefer something see-through and more solid, you can't go wrong with these plastic Muji drawers, which are also on sale.
These bags will attach to any vacuum, letting you compress big items like sweaters, coats, or duvets into shrunken plastic packets.
For anything particularly delicate or fancy, use these bags as a dust barrier.
Are your scarves and belts in some random tangle or precariously looped through a hanger? Use this instead.
These spring-loaded organizers will neatly divide any drawer so you can separate your socks from your tights and bras.
Hang this up and slip in your favorite shoes.
Buy this rack and just embrace the fact that your collection will be on full display.
Use this for bathing suits, T-shirts, workout clothes, or anything else that won't fit in your dresser.
Since this will show off the contents more than a solid basket, use it for towels or linens.
Simple, roomy, and good-looking enough to hang out in the corner of any room.
Choose the same rolling rack found in countless magazine closets.
This set is best if you're good at Kondo-ing your clothes and displaying just the bare minimum.
Use it to hold your everyday jewelry.
String some delicate gold necklaces or fun earrings and pretend like you're on the Coveteur.
If you can drill into your walls, a hook rack for your most-used bags and coats will streamline your mornings.

There is development in the technology everyday – fierce competition between companies to come out with new, innovative versions of the smartphone everyday. Each smartphone comes with its own set of apps. Consequently, developers are finding a hard time to make sure their app occupies the home screen.
Trash it! How many of you have been suggested to uninstall your app when your phone hangs? How many of you give a second chance to a failing app?
With Apple adding more than 20,000 apps to the App store everyday and with more than 2 million options to choose from , how do you make sure your app stays in the limelight ?
It has been observed that 80% of apps get uninstalled within 7 days and around 50% on Day 1. And then there are apps like Whatsapp, Gmail, YouTube, Facebook etc which form a vital part of customer's daily life.
How do you do it? Simple – listen to your customers, take feedback and work on it ! easier said than done but by ensuring you keep in mind the following strategies , you will be able to garner more installs than drain money to make people retain your app.
Is too slow- crashing , freezing , bugs.
Takes too much space ; uses too much battery.
Too many notifications – too many pings can easily piss your customer off .
Same goes for ratings .
Use an app's in built KPI to analyse where users tip-off , how they use the app and what more do they need. Correct these problems as and how they come. Agreed notifications help keep your customers aware about updates, send targeted offers, engage with them on a regular basis, but too many buzzes and pings will push them over the edge and lead to your doom. Similar analogy applies to ratings – you need to make sure you give them enough time to look about the app and see what they like-dislike. Minimising annoying pop-ups, creating a smooth registration process, include default values in blanks etc will help you create a happy base of users.
Having said that, some may be using your app to compare products – don't be depressed! Use it to enhance in-app features and offer targeted incentives to your customers.
First impression is the last impression ; going by that how about you give your customer an out-of-the-world experience right from the start?
Make sure you fulfill your promise and emphasize on building an app that is user friendly – guiding them hassle-free.
Make sure you have a simple login procedure that takes in social media registrations.
Make sure your app isn't too heavy and doesn't drain out battery-life ; that way , users struggle to keep their favorite apps on-board.
New users have a short attention span and a sharp learning curve so make sure to utilise that when building your app from the scratch.
A product is in the cart for days at a stretch. What makes the customers forget? Its the lack of incentives ; thats why they look for the product elsewhere where they are provided better discounts and reasonable rates. Use in-app features to track your user's preferences and accommodate them in your services accordingly. But, how do you bring them back?
Use in-app notifications to notify the customers about your progress, new features, discounts and development. But be sure to keep the notifications at a minimum – using strategic times to notify them . It doesn't take long for the pot to boil over now , does it?
E-mail marketing : everybody nowadays uses their e-mail; so often that they have an app for it. A smart e-mail marketing program can bring customers back so make sure to use this tool efficiently.
It's a fast paced world right there . So, if you don't catch up you will be among the hundreds and thousands stranded in the cache list. Make sure to have your eyes and ears open to feedback – be it negative or positive. Implement it wisely and you will succeed!

Louise Brevard Alexander
Posted on September 12, 2017 , updated on September 13, 2017 by Sean Mulligan
Louise Brevard Alexander was born in 1887 in Hickory, North Carolina. She graduated from Presbyterian College (now Queen's College) in Charlotte, where she was president of the student body, president of her literary society, editor of the yearbook, captain of the Daddy Rabbit Tennis Team, and a member of many other clubs, including the Epicureans. After graduating from Presbyterian College in 1907, Alexander pursued graduate studies at the University of Tennessee before taking a faculty position at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk. In 1911, she moved to Greensboro to teach history, civics, and economics at Greensboro Senior High School (now Grimsley High School). She left to attend law school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was admitted to the North Carolina Bar in 1920. Upon her return to Greensboro, she became Guilford County's first female lawyer. Alexander was appointed as the Clerk of Municipal Court in 1923, and she served concurrently as a juvenile court judge until 1935. In 1935, she began her tenure as a political science professor at the Women's College (now UNCG). In 1949, Alexander was awarded the first O. Max Gardner award and in 1960 was recognized again with the dedication of a room in the Elliott University Center. Alexander passed away on May 30,1978.

Noah Tsika: »Gods and Monsters«
A Queer Film Classic. CAN 2009, 173 pp., brochure, € 13.95
Kostenloser Versand ab 20 Euro Bestellwert.
Written and directed by Bill Condon (»Kinsey«), the 1998 film »Gods and Monsters« stars Ian McKellen as openly gay film director James Whale (best known for the Frankenstein films of the 1930s) in the final days of his life during the 1950s. Moving from the slums of Britain in the early 20th century to the new era of the »talkies« in Hollywood and beyond, »Gods and Monsters« trains a gay eye on the historical events that helped shape Whale and his films. Set in 1957, long after his career had peaked, he recounts his experiences to his young, straight gardener (played by Brendan Fraser), with whom he forms an uncommon bond. The resulting film won an Oscar for Condon's screenplay. This book examines the film from a variety of perspectives, highlighting the complexity and significance of its achievements.

[Ashkenazim/Sefardim: Yeshayahu 61:10-63:9
Yemenite Jews: Yeshayahu 61:9-63:9]
In addition to simply being a place for us to dwell, the Land of Israel is a Divine gift to the Nation of Israel. The legitimacy of our right to the Land is beyond question, since it is an integral part of our identity as a Nation.
"You will no longer be called 'Forsaken,' nor will your Land be called 'Desolate,' but you will be called 'My Desire is for her,' and your Land will be called 'Espoused,' for Hashem desires you, and your Land will be espoused" (Yeshayhu 62:4).
There are two ways for a nation to relate to its Land. On the one hand, it is possible to relate to the Land as a necessity, since a nation requires a place in which to dwell. This is especially true for the Nation of Israel, which did not find a safe haven in which to settle during the course of two thousand years of Exile. One might say that this was advantageous for us since we then understood, as Theodore Herzl said, that it was essential for us to find a secure home for ourselves, where we could have physical and spiritual independence from the threats of persecution and assimilation. For this fact alone we are obligated to thank Hashem day and night. But according to this understanding, the Land is nothing more than a means to provide us with protection and comfort – and in fact could reasonably be exchanged or divided if it was not fulfilling this function. But there is a second way for the Nation to relate to its Land: to see the Land of Israel as our spouse, as the poet Alexander Fine, who lived during the beginning of the return to Zion declared: "You are betrothed to me through blood." According to this understanding, it is obvious that if the neighbors begin to covet our spouse, we are obligated to protect her with all of our might, since a spouse is an integral part of a person and cannot be exchanged or divided.
Yeshayahu compared Eretz Yisrael to a spouse. When he turned to the Nation, he said: "But you will be called 'My Desire is for her,' and your Land will be called 'Espoused' (ibid.). This prophecy describes a renewed marriage between Hashem and the Nation, and between Hashem and the Land. "For as a young man espouses a virgin, so shall your sons espouse you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so shall your G-d rejoice over you" (ibid. v. 5). Only a prophet could make such a statement! And since this comparison has been made, that our Land is like our spouse, we are obligated to sacrifice ourselves for her and she will sacrifice herself for us.
As we see, for more than 100 years, the Nation of Israel has been embracing its Land anew, and many Jews are abandoning their professions and high material standards, which are often the source of jealousy, and are returning home. In return, the Land is giving off its fruits plentifully (Sanhedrin 98a with Rashi), and a desolate Land is being transformed into a flowering garden.
This deep connection must also be seen by the nations of the world: "For the sake of Zion I will not hold My peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem I will not be quiet, until her righteous triumph emerges as a light, and her salvation burns like a torch" (ibid. 61:1).
We must believe wholeheartedly that Eretz Yisrael is a part of us, and belongs to us completely! Only then will the nations of the world recognize this fact. We therefore are not returning to our Land as poor beggars with our hands out to accept help from the nations of the world, but as a free and proud Nation regaining control over its Land. "I have set watchmen upon your walls day and night, Jerusalem, they will take no rest. You who are Hashem's watchmen, do not be silent. And give Him no rest, until He establishes, and until He makes Jerusalem a praise on the Earth (ibid. v. 6-7).
We therefore are not silent. We constantly emphasize our right to this Land and to our eternal capital of Jerusalem. People like to ask: which takes precedence, the Nation or the Land? But we are not discussing two separate entities, rather one united whole. A nation does not live without a land, and the fact that we survived for two thousand years of exile does not contradict this fact. We survived but suffered the greatest tragedy in human history. And a land does not live without its nation. During the course of two thousand years, this Land was desolate and destroyed. Only when her children returned to her did she begin to live anew. This is the reason the Land is called the Land of Israel because without the Nation of Israel she is an empty shell, desolate, forsaken and awaiting her children.
For more than one hundred years, the covenant of marriage has been occurring, stage after stage; sometimes there are difficulties and sometimes there is light, but perfection will be achieved.
"Go through! Go through the gates! Clear the way of the Nation. Pave, pave the highway! Gather up the stones, lift up a banner for the nations. Hashem has proclaimed to the ends of the Earth, say to the daughter of Zion: 'Your salvation has come, its reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. And they will call them the Holy Nation, the Redeemed of Hashem, and you will be called 'Sought Out,' a city not forsaken" (ibid. v. 10-12).

Home News NIGERIA @ 60: KWADEF SALUTES KWARANS, CALLS FOR PEOPLE-CENTERED GOVERNANCE~NEWSEXTRA
NIGERIA @ 60: KWADEF SALUTES KWARANS, CALLS FOR PEOPLE-CENTERED GOVERNANCE~NEWSEXTRA
NEWS EXTRA 10:55 News,
The Kwara Development Foundation, KWADEF has congratulated Nigerians, especially indigenes and residents of Kwara State on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Nigeria's independence from colonial rule and urged the governor to make his administration people-centric.
The group in a statement signed by its President, Dr. Kolawole Afolabi and Publicity Secretary, Oluwasegun Abifarin recalled that "Kwara state is a child of history and destiny; and like Nigeria, the development journey of the state has been tortuous. From one regime to another, the song has been the same and the alienated and abandoned people have been crying for succour."
The group therefore call for a paradigm shift and a reset of the development template of the state to make the people the center of governance and make 'independence' meaningful to the Kwarans.
It added that the reset should range from institutional reforms and reconstruction, infrastructural development, human capacity building, social welfare and policy reforms to other socio-economic, cultural, scientific and administrative repositioning.
Specifically, the group lamented that the industrial glory of the state as epitomised by industrial heritage such as Kwara Textiles, Tate and Lyle, Jebba Paper Mill, Bacita Sugar Company, Kwara Breweries, Ijagbo; Okin Foam and Okin Biscuits, Offa; Kwara Paper Converters Limited, Erin-ile; United Match Company among others, have become a sad history.
In recent times however, it noted a number of companies have chosen Kwara as the place to build their brands and grow their businesses. Some of these companies include Dangote Flour Millls, Olam Nigeria and Tuyil Pharmaceuticals.
To sustain the revival, KWADEF maintained that agriculture and agro business should be made to be more attractive to the youths in terms of incentives and support.
Since the State has a favourable climate, a substantial cultivable area, and good soil to support agriculture, livestock and inland fishing, deliberate programme of mechanised agriculture should also be geared towards processing of agricultural produce through the value chains will provide gainful employment to many citizens. "Kwara can make many millionaires out of many famers by maximising the geographical location," it said.
KWADEF added that with stringent planning and investment drives, over 500,000 hectares could come under grain cultivation, and raise profitability. Investments must include the provision of silos and elevators along the rail corridor, all of which could help transform Kwara into a major agro-based trading bloc.
Kwadef maintained that It is worthy to note that the collective will, courage and determination of Kwarans, irrespective of class or religion propelled the Otoge movement which eventually transformed into an unstoppable force that uprooted the 'enemies' and gave victory to the people at the 2019 polls.
"We equally recalled that at his inauguration speech on the 25th of May, 2019, Governor Abdulrahaman Abdulrasazaq acknowledged the fact that there is so much to be done. Nothing can be farther from this truth," the group said.
According to KWADEF, the truth was evident that the current administration inherited a state with abysmal records on all fronts. For example, people of Baruten often have to visit the neighbouring Benin Republic to access medical care. Public trust in government was at its lowest.
"It gladdened our heart when the Governor stated that his "goal in Office is not to lament over the sad past; but rather to build confidence that a better future is possible. In the last fifteen months, we are glad to note that some progress have been made," KWADEF said.
ABOUT KWADEF
The Kwara Development Foundation, KWADEF is a non-partisan group of committed patriots and our intervention shall be non-partisan. Our focus is on Kwara and Kwarans in the collective struggle to chart a new path to prosperity and happiness.
Our focus is also to intervene and give direction to the people of Kwara state as we collective march towards the much-desired Promised Land where the long lost milk and honey will be found in an atmosphere of shared prosperity for all our people.

Q: markdown to html command (for an npm project build) I have a markdown file that I'd like to generate into html using remarkable on the command line (ie, as part of a build script).
The TOC in my markdown file mimics that generated by markdown-toc, ie - it looks like this:
<!-- toc -->
- [User Guide](#user-guide)
- [Configuration](#configuration)
<!-- tocstop -->

## user-guide
blah

# configuration
blah

When I add this to test.md and run the following:
remarkable test.md >test.html
I get this:

ie, the TOC is not being rendered by remarkable.
Can anyone advise?  I'm simply looking for those links to go directly the various sections in the rendered html.

A: I figured this out - using a different library!
steps:
npm install markdown-to-html -g
markdown test.md > test.html

The only downside - the tool doesn't seem to convert html (comments, or images). Easy to work around this though.

1;95;0ctitle: Bookinfo Sample Application
overview: This guide deploys a sample application composed of four separate microservices which will be used to demonstrate various features of the Istio service mesh.

order: 10

layout: docs
type: markdown
---
{% include home.html %}

This guide deploys a sample application composed of four separate microservices which will be used
to demonstrate various features of the Istio service mesh.

## Overview

In this guide we will deploy a simple application that displays information about a
book, similar to a single catalog entry of an online book store. Displayed
on the page is a description of the book, book details (ISBN, number of
pages, and so on), and a few book reviews.

The Bookinfo application is broken into four separate microservices:

* *productpage*. The productpage microservice calls the *details* and *reviews* microservices to populate the page.
* *details*. The details microservice contains book information.
* *reviews*. The reviews microservice contains book reviews. It also calls the *ratings* microservice.
* *ratings*. The ratings microservice contains book ranking information that accompanies a book review.

There are 3 versions of the reviews microservice:

* Version v1 doesn't call the ratings service.
* Version v2 calls the ratings service, and displays each rating as 1 to 5 black stars.
* Version v3 calls the ratings service, and displays each rating as 1 to 5 red stars.

The end-to-end architecture of the application is shown below.

{% include figure.html width='80%' ratio='68.52%'
    img='./img/bookinfo/noistio.svg'
    alt='Bookinfo Application without Istio'
    title='Bookinfo Application without Istio'
    caption='Bookinfo Application without Istio'
    %}

This application is polyglot, i.e., the microservices are written in different languages.
It's worth noting that these services have no dependencies on Istio, but make an interesting
service mesh example, particularly because of the multitude of services, languages and versions
for the reviews service.

## Before you begin

If you haven't already done so, setup Istio by following the instructions
corresponding to your platform [installation guide]({{home}}/docs/setup/).

## Deploying the application

To run the sample with Istio requires no changes to the
application itself. Instead, we simply need to configure and run the services in an
Istio-enabled environment, with Envoy sidecars injected along side each service.
The needed commands and configuration vary depending on the runtime environment
although in all cases the resulting deployment will look like this:

{% include figure.html width='80%' ratio='59.08%'
    img='./img/bookinfo/withistio.svg'
    alt='Bookinfo Application'
    title='Bookinfo Application'
    caption='Bookinfo Application'
    %}

All of the microservices will be packaged with an Envoy sidecar that intercepts incoming
and outgoing calls for the services, providing the hooks needed to externally control,
via the Istio control plane, routing, telemetry collection, and policy enforcement
for the application as a whole.

To start the application, follow the instructions below corresponding to your Istio runtime environment.

### Running on Kubernetes

> If you use GKE, please ensure your cluster has at least 4 standard GKE nodes. If you use Minikube, please ensure you have at least 4GB RAM.

1. Change directory to the root of the Istio installation directory.

1. Bring up the application containers:

   If you are using [manual sidecar injection]({{home}}/docs/setup/kubernetes/sidecar-injection.html#manual-sidecar-injection),
   use the following command instead:

   ```bash
   kubectl apply -f <(istioctl kube-inject --debug -f samples/bookinfo/kube/bookinfo.yaml)
   ```

   If you are using a cluster with
   [automatic sidecar injection]({{home}}/docs/setup/kubernetes/sidecar-injection.html#automatic-sidecar-injection)
   enabled, simply deploy the services using `kubectl`:

   ```bash
   kubectl apply -f samples/bookinfo/kube/bookinfo.yaml
   ```

   The `istioctl kube-inject` command is used to manually modify the `bookinfo.yaml`
   file before creating the deployments as documented [here]({{home}}/docs/reference/commands/istioctl.html#istioctl kube-inject).

   Either of the above commands launches all four microservices and creates the gateway
   ingress resource as illustrated in the above diagram.
   All 3 versions of the reviews service, v1, v2, and v3, are started.

   > In a realistic deployment, new versions of a microservice are deployed
   over time instead of deploying all versions simultaneously.

1. Confirm all services and pods are correctly defined and running:

   ```bash
   kubectl get services
   ```

   which produces the following output:

   ```bash
   NAME                       CLUSTER-IP   EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)              AGE
   details                    10.0.0.31    <none>        9080/TCP             6m
   kubernetes                 10.0.0.1     <none>        443/TCP              7d
   productpage                10.0.0.120   <none>        9080/TCP             6m
   ratings                    10.0.0.15    <none>        9080/TCP             6m
   reviews                    10.0.0.170   <none>        9080/TCP             6m
   ```

   and

   ```bash
   kubectl get pods
   ```

   which produces

   ```bash

#### Determining the ingress IP and Port

1. If your Kubernetes cluster is running in an environment that supports external load balancers, the IP address of ingress can be  obtained by the following command:

   ```bash
   kubectl get ingress -o wide
   ```

   whose output should be similar to

   ```bash
   NAME      HOSTS     ADDRESS                 PORTS     AGE
   gateway   *         130.211.10.121          80        1d
   ```

   The address of the ingress service would then be

   ```bash
   export GATEWAY_URL=130.211.10.121:80
   ```

1. _GKE:_ Sometimes when the service is unable to obtain an external IP, `kubectl get ingress -o wide` may display a list of worker node addresses. In this case, you can use any of the addresses, along with the NodePort, to access the ingress. If the cluster has a firewall, you will also need to create a firewall rule to allow TCP traffic to the NodePort.

   ```bash
   export GATEWAY_URL=<workerNodeAddress>:$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
   gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-book --allow tcp:$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
   ```

1. _IBM Cloud Container Service Free Tier:_ External load balancer is not available for kubernetes clusters in the free tier. You can use the public IP of the worker node, along with the NodePort, to access the ingress. The public IP of the worker node can be obtained from the output of the following command:

   ```bash
   bx cs workers <cluster-name or id>
   export GATEWAY_URL=<public IP of the worker node>:$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -n istio-system -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
   ```

1. _IBM Cloud Private:_ External load balancers are not supported in IBM Cloud Private. You can use the host IP of the ingress service, along with the NodePort, to access the ingress.

   ```bash
   export GATEWAY_URL=$(kubectl get po -l istio=ingress -n istio-system -o 'jsonpath={.items[0].status.hostIP}'):$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -n istio-system -o 'jsonpath={.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
   ```

1. _Minikube:_ External load balancers are not supported in Minikube. You can use the host IP of the ingress service, along with the NodePort, to access the ingress.

   ```bash
   export GATEWAY_URL=$(kubectl get po -l istio=ingress -n istio-system -o 'jsonpath={.items[0].status.hostIP}'):$(kubectl get svc istio-ingress -n istio-system -o 'jsonpath={.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
   ```

### Running on Docker with Consul or Eureka

1. Change directory to the root of the Istio installation directory.

1. Bring up the application containers.

   To test with Consul, run the following commands:

   ```bash
   docker-compose -f samples/bookinfo/consul/bookinfo.yaml up -d
   docker-compose -f samples/bookinfo/consul/bookinfo.sidecars.yaml up -d
    ```

   To test with Eureka, run the following commands:

   ```bash
   docker-compose -f samples/bookinfo/eureka/bookinfo.yaml up -d
   docker-compose -f samples/bookinfo/eureka/bookinfo.sidecars.yaml up -d
   ```

1. Confirm that all docker containers are running:

   ```bash
   docker ps -a
   ```

   > If the Istio Pilot container terminates, re-run the command from the previous step.

1. Set the GATEWAY_URL:

   ```bash
   export GATEWAY_URL=localhost:9081
   ```

## What's next

To confirm that the Bookinfo application is running, run the following `curl` command:

```bash
curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code}\n" http://${GATEWAY_URL}/productpage
```

```xxx
200
```

You can also point your browser to `http://$GATEWAY_URL/productpage`
to view the Bookinfo web page. If you refresh the page several times, you should
see different versions of reviews shown in productpage, presented in a round robin style (red
stars, black stars, no stars), since we haven't yet used Istio to control the
version routing.

You can now use this sample to experiment with Istio's features for
traffic routing, fault injection, rate limiting, etc..
To proceed, refer to one or more of the [Istio Guides]({{home}}/docs/guides),
depending on your interest. [Intelligent Routing]({{home}}/docs/guides/intelligent-routing.html)
is a good place to start for beginners.

## Cleanup

When you're finished experimenting with the Bookinfo sample, you can
uninstall and clean it up using the following instructions.

### Uninstall from Kubernetes environment

1. Delete the routing rules and terminate the application pods

   ```bash
   samples/bookinfo/kube/cleanup.sh
   ```

1. Confirm shutdown

   ```bash
   istioctl get routerules   #-- there should be no more routing rules
   kubectl get pods          #-- the Bookinfo pods should be deleted
   ```

### Uninstall from Docker environment

1. Delete the routing rules and application containers

   In a Consul setup, run the following command:

   ```bash
   samples/bookinfo/consul/cleanup.sh
   ```

   In a Eureka setup, run the following command:

   ```bash
   samples/bookinfo/eureka/cleanup.sh
   ```

1. Confirm cleanup

   ```bash
   istioctl get routerules   #-- there should be no more routing rules
   docker ps -a              #-- the Bookinfo containers should be deleted
   ```

Exploration of the difference in incidence of renal replacement therapy in elderly patients in Flanders and the Netherlands--a comparison of referral policy
Nephrol Dial Transplant. 2012 Jan;27(1):338-44. doi: 10.1093/ndt/gfr346. Epub 2011 Jul 15.

DOI: 10.1093/ndt/gfr346
Background: The incidence of renal replacement therapy (RRT) among patients aged ≥65 years is much higher in Flanders, the Dutch speaking region of Belgium, than in the Netherlands. We studied whether differences in referral policy to nephrologists by primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists between Flanders and the Netherlands may play a role.
Methods: A vignette study was performed among 329 PCPs and 96 specialists in Flanders and compared to the vignette study that was conducted among 209 PCPs and 162 specialists in the Netherlands. Physicians were offered six vignettes concerning case reports of patients with chronic kidney disease and varying co-morbidities or social circumstances. Each vignette was presented for a 65- and an 80-year-old patient. Physicians were asked about the likelihood of referral of the patients in the given circumstances. Univariate and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify whether country affected the likelihood of referral.
Results: Univariate analyses showed that the percentage of PCPs who would probably or definitely refer a 65- or an 80-year-old patient with less severe co-morbidity was significantly (P ≤ 0.001) higher in the Netherlands than in Flanders. However, the likelihood of referral of PCPs-concerning patients with more severe co-morbidity did not differ significantly. Specialists in Flanders did not differ in the likelihood to refer patients from that of specialists in the Netherlands. Logistic regression analysis showed that country (higher referral in the Netherlands) was an important predictor for the referral of PCPs, and this was especially the case for patients with less severe co-morbidity. These patterns persisted, even after controlling for other possible predictors as physicians' age, gender, religion and years in practice.
Conclusions: This study suggests that the lower RRT incidence in the Netherlands cannot be explained by a more restrictive referral policy among physicians in the Netherlands. The data suggested that the latter group had a similar or even more liberal attitude to the referral of older patients than physicians in Flanders.

Home Gay Life Asia Kate Dillon suggested their John Wick 3 character be non-binary
Asia Kate Dillon suggested their John Wick 3 character be non-binary
Non-binary actor Asia Kate Dillon proposed that their character in John Wick: Chapter 3 – The Parabellum should be a non-binary person.
Dillon, who plays The Adjudicator in the latest installment of action series John Wick alongside Keanu Reeves, said that the character was originally written with either he/him or she/her pronouns, before Dillon suggested making them non-binary.
"I went in, met with Chad [the John Wick director Chad Stahelski]," Dillon said in a New York Times interview. "And I said, 'We have a real opportunity here, I'm a non-binary actor, there's no reason that this character has to be a non-trans person, let's make them non-binary.'"
"Keanu Reeves had the idea for a character who wasn't going to take up physical arms in this movie, who had a different kind of power, a quiet power," Dillon, who also plays non-binary character Taylor in Showtime series Billions, said.
Dillon also stressed that they want to see acting become more gender fluid, with more roles available outside of the gender binary, and that this is something they're working on.
"If it takes 20 years, I have personally failed," they said. "Not that I'm taking that whole responsibility on myself, but that is work I'm specifically engaging in. So yes, it's going to happen soon."
Dillon has previously credited their role on Billions with helping them to understand their own gender identity.
"From a young age, I knew that I wasn't a boy or a girl, but I certainly didn't have the language for it," they said on Late Night with Seth Meyers on March 14.
"Nor did I have any representation either of a real person or a fictional character who was non-binary but hadn't changed their body."
Dillon also stars in Orange is the New Black as white supremacist Brandy Epps.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – The Parabellum is in UK cinemas now.

Niechwaszcz – rzeka przepływająca przez obszar województwa pomorskiego.

W okresie wiosennym wysoki stan wód rzeki doprowadza do lokalnych podtopień areałów rolnych na obszarze gminy Brusy. Obszarem źródłowym rzeki są mokradła i torfowiska kompleksu leśnego Borów Tucholskich, odwadniane są one w kierunku południowym przez rzekę Niechwasz, a w kierunku północnym przez strumień Niechwaszcz z częstym występowaniem zjawiska bifurkacji.  Główny nurt rzeki przepływa równoleżnikowo przez połacie leśne Borów Tucholskich aż do ujścia do Wdy w Czarnej Wodzie.

Strumień Niechwaszcz uchodzi do jeziora Leśno Dolne.

Poprzez rzekę prowadzi wodny szlak kajakowy łączący dorzecze Brdy poprzez Zbrzycę i Młosienicę ze szlakiem dorzecza Wdy. W dolnym odcinku znajduje się Kanał Niechwaszczy (niem. Rieselkanal).

Software Composition Analysis (SCA) has various aspects. Primarily, SCA focuses on the analysis of a software asset to
reveal its different parts and must anticipate the different technologies used to define a software asset in order to
decompose and interpret its parts.

## Definitions

Software is composed in different ways. In order to describe the different approaches a few definitions are required:

* **Software Supplier**: A software supplier provides software assets.

* **Software Producer**: A software producer (organisation, community or individual is a software supplier. A software
  producer may utilize third-party assets to create, combine, or compose software for a specific purpose. For example,
  the software producer may combine its own (self-developed) software assets with third-party assets to create a
  software product, service or project-specific solution.

* **Third-Party**, **Third-Party Software Asset**: A third-party is a organisation, community or individual outside the
  organisation of the software producer. A third-party software asset is an asset (no matter which form) provided by a
  third-party. The third-party - providing third-party software assets - is as well a software supplier.

* **Operator**: An operator uses software assets or services from different suppliers to instantiate and maintain a
  dedicated service.

* **End User**: The end user is a person who consumed the services and features provided by the software assets.

* **Supply Chain**: In general, a supply chain is a chain of suppliers who support the creation of an end-product.
  Projected to software, a supply chain consists of the different suppliers producing software assets that are combined
  to an end-product. A supplier in this chain (that is rather a supplier tree) may consume assets from several other
  suppliers.

## Software Compositions Types

The following software composition types need to be differentiated from the perspective of a software producer:

* **Embedded Source Code Snippet**: Using a code snippet from a third-party embedded in a producer-crafted source code
  file. The source code snippet may be modified and controlled by the producer.

* **Embedded Source Code File**: Using a complete source code file from a third-party embedded in a producer-defined
  source code project. The source code files may be modified and controlled by the producer.

* **Embedded Binary Code**: During the build procedure binary code from a third-party may be embedded in the compiled
  result.

* **Integrated Source Code**: Interpreted scripts (in contrast to compiled binary code) from a third-party are combined
  to a composite script.

* **Integrated Binary Libraries / Modules**: Binary libaries or modules may be integrated and packaged together as
  deployable unit. In contrast to the embedded binary code case the integrated binaries and libraries are included in
  the packaging in their original form (as linked library or binary modules).

* **Appliance**: Turn-key composition of software prepared for a dedicated purpose. An appliance can be physical (in
  combination with hardware) or virtual (as a virtual machine or container)

## Context License Compliance

Any software asset is bound to terms and conditions defined by the copyright owner of the software asset. Ensuring the
conformity to these terms and conditions is the core subject of license compliance management. Depending on the terms
and conditions specified by licenses, agreements, grants proper use of the software assets must be enforced. For open
source licenses in particular this means fulfilling the obligations included in the license texts.

Software Compostion Analysis (SCA) helps the software producer to understand the parts of the constructed software. An
inventory of parts can be used to associate licenses and other metadata to ensure parts are known to the required extend
and the terms and conditions are adhered to.

## Context Vulnerability Management

With the knowledge on the parts of the software from a Software Compostion Analysis (SCA) and the inventory of parts the
software can be correlated with known vulnerabilities. Based on the correlated vulnerabilites an assessment of the
exploitability of vulerability in the given project/product context can be performed. This known vulnerability
assessment represents a central building block in the security risk assessment for a software asset.

## Inventory-Centric Approach

metæffekt continuous compliance and vulnerability monitoring is based on an inventory-centric approach. Starting from a
software asset (in whatever technology specific form) an inventory of parts - or rather an inventory of artifacts - is
extracted that identifies and lists all artifacts contained in the asset. By correlating further metadata with the
identified artifacts the required information for compliance verification and compliance documentation is associated
with the identified artifacts.

Furthermore, the identified artifacts can be used to vulnerability correlation and vulnerability monitoring.

metæffekt is experimenting with different representations of the inventory. To support several target audiences the
currently most practical approach is still using an Excel Spreadsheet to capture artifact information. This
representation can be converted into different target formats (support is anticipated for SPDX 2.2, SPDX 3.0 and
CycloneDX). The metæffekt artifact inventory however covers more information as currently can be represented in SPDX
and CycloneDX. The content is primarily targeted to support the automated creation of compliance documentation such as
the Software Distribution Annex.

A reference project showing the use of the inventory-centric approach is provided [here](https://github.com/org-metaeffekt/metaeffekt-documentation-template).

Documentation on the core inventory features and howto guides can be found in [Artifact Inventory Spreadsheet](artifact-inventory-spreadsheet.md).


The U.S. Senate's recent confirmation of Robert Lighthizer as the new United States trade representative signals that the work to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will get under way soon. Against that backdrop, we hope you and your cabinet will keep in mind a number of important facts regarding the U.S.-Canada economic and trade relationship.
Canada is the biggest export market for a solid majority of U.S. states—35 states in all, based on the most recent count. The list includes Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, Montana, North & South Dakota, and Idaho. Last year, American companies sold $2.2 trillion worth of goods and services to customers in other countries. Of those foreign customers, Canadians were the biggest buyers of American-made products and services, supporting millions of U.S. jobs in the process.
Trade flows between our two countries are well balanced. In 2016, American goods exports to Canada totalled US$267 billion, while imports of goods from Canada reached US$278 billion. Thus, the U.S. posted a goods trade deficit with Canada of $11 billion last year. But the United States has long enjoyed large surpluses in services trade with Canada, in the range of $28 to 32 billion annually since 2012. So in aggregate, the United States has a healthy surplus in its overall bilateral trade with Canada.
You've often voiced concern over the sharp drop in manufacturing employment in the United States. It's true that your country has experienced a sizable loss of jobs and capital investment in the manufacturing sector. But you should know that Canada has not benefited from this in any way: indeed, because of the high degree of cross-border integration in many manufacturing industries, Canada has been hurt by the shrinking economic footprint of American manufacturing. And in percentage terms, Canada has suffered manufacturing job losses almost as steep as those in the United States.
If the outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing jobs and production is a problem for your administration, please recognize that Canada is not the cause of it.
Canada is one of the world's leading exporters of oil and natural gas. And we're a vital source of the energy needed to power the American economy. Canada exports almost as much oil to the United States as all other foreign suppliers combined. In addition, we're the dominant source of natural gas imports into the United States.
As you know, compared to energy exporters in the Middle East and Latin America, Canada has a well-deserved reputation as a reliable and friendly supplier of cost-effective energy products to the United States.
Finally, it's useful to remember that over many decades, the U.S. and Canada have forged the largest and most extensive bilateral commercial relationship between any two countries in the world, encompassing the movement of goods, services, data, investment, and people. Two-way trade in goods and services exceeded US$635 billion last year. Every day, U.S.-Canada trade amounts to more than Cdn$2 billion or US$1.75 billion.

Q: Border not showing due to wildcard Here is my fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/2msz53n9/
And here is the problem:
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden
}

I need to use this for the rest of my site. So I cannot remove it. However, on my fiddle, I want the border to show also on the right, but now because of the above, it doesn't. I would like to have a solution where I can keep the above code, however, if not, I will have to review my whole site and re-do the CSS, I guess. I haven't been able to get the border on the right without removing that wildcard code though. Anyone?

A: You can add box-sizing:border-box; to your list of wildcard rules:
* {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    overflow:hidden;
    box-sizing:border-box;
}

jsFiddle example
Bootstrap actually does this and you can read more here.

A: The actual width of .rightcont is 328px including 1px border on left and right.
So either increase width of .right to 328
Or add box-sizing: border-box; to .rightcont

Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has won the Premier League save of the month award for August.
By Dominic Scurr
The England international's fine diving save to deny Adam Lallana in the goalless draw at Brighton & Hove Albion last month has been named the first ever winner of the save of the month award for the English top flight.
It's a monthly award double for Newcastle as well with Allan Saint-Maximin claiming the goal of the month award for his strike at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Pope was also nominated for the player of the month award but was beaten by Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.

After winning save of the month, Pope said: "It's not something you quite expect and it's nice to be the first winner of the award.
"Before the cross comes in you're thinking 'can I come out and affect the cross, come out and punch it, catch it and make that split-second decision?'
"I saw him flying in, thinking he was favourite to win the header, so luckily enough I hit the ground and managed to turn it around the post."

Pope also won Newcastle United's FUN88 club player of the month for August with the 30-year-old making a big impact since his £10million arrival from Burnley back in June.
In his opening six Premier League matches for The Magpies, Pope has kept three clean sheets while also making a number of impressive saves in the process, the highlight of which being the now award-winning stop at The Amex Stadium.

Breathometer Net Worth in 2020 and All You Need to Know
Breathometer: a device claiming that it could measure alcohol content in someone's blood and show the results on smartphones.
Aishwarya Nair
Breathometer was a device that claimed that it could measure the amount of alcohol content in someone's blood and will show the results in their smartphones. The company was launched in 2018, found by Charles Michael Yim, who is also the CEO.
Charles Michael Yim is an entrepreneur. His startup Chatterfly was a huge success which was a mobile loyalty platform that was later bought by Plum District. After this, he found Breathometer in 2012. In 2013, Yim appeared on Shark Tank and wanted an investment of $250,000 for 10% equity but landed with an investment of $1 million for 30% equity by all the five sharks and it was the first time in the history of Shark Tank when all of them had collectively participated.
Charles Michael Yim: Founder and CEO of the Company.
The device was supposed to be plugged into the audio jack of the smartphone with the app that will help you read the Blood Alcohol Content. If the BAC level is over the legal limit line then the app displays a cone- Click Call to cabs, friends or local hotels.
The product was not up to the mark. The Machine showed inaccurate readings and that happened due to the effect of the humidity and temperature of the surroundings.
