Some there were who, as soon as the conspiracy was betrayed, urged Piso, while Milichus' story was being heard, and Scaevinus was hesitating, to go to the camp or mount the Rostra and test the feelings of the soldiers and of the people. "If," said they, "your accomplices join your enterprise, those also who are yet undecided, will follow, and great will be the fame of the movement once started, and this in any new scheme is all-powerful. Against it Nero has taken no precaution. Even brave men are dismayed by sudden perils; far less will that stage-player, with Tigellinus forsooth and his concubines in his train, raise arms against you. Many things are accomplished on trial which cowards think arduous. It is vain to expect secrecy and fidelity from the varying tempers and bodily constitutions of such a host of accomplices. Torture or reward can overcome everything. Men will soon come to put you also in chains and inflict on you an ignominious death. How much more gloriously will you die while you cling to the State and invoke aid for liberty. Rather let the soldiers fail, the people be traitors, provided that you, if prematurely robbed of life, justify your death to your ancestors and descendants." Unmoved by these considerations, Piso showed himself a few moments in public, then sought the retirement of his house, and there fortified his spirit against the worst, till a troop of soldiers arrived, raw recruits, or men recently enlisted, whom Nero had selected, because he was afraid of the veterans, imbued, though they were, with a liking for him. Piso expired by having the veins in his arms severed. His will, full of loathsome flatteries of Nero, was a concession to his love of his wife, a base woman, with only a beautiful person to recommend her, whom he had taken away from her husband, one of his friends. Her name was Atria Galla; that of her former husband, Domitius Silus. The tame spirit of the man, the profligacy of the woman, blazoned Piso's infamy.

WHAT WE DO.
thingNY is a 501c3 not-for-profit collective of composer-performers who create and perform theatrically charged experimental music, champion the work of avant-garde and contemporary classical composers, and collaborate across disciplines, media and genres.
thingNY is a collective of New York composer-performers who fuse electronic and acoustic chamber music with new opera, improvisation, theater, text, song, and installation. Founded in 2006, thingNY performs experimental sound works created collaboratively by the core ensemble - Paul Pinto, Erin Rogers, Jeffrey Young, Gelsey Bell, Dave Ruder, and Andrew Livingston - and by adventurous composers such as Jennifer Walshe, Robert Ashley, Rick Burkhardt, Pauline Oliveros, Miguel Frasconi, Vinko Globokar, John Cage, Julius Eastman, Jessie Marino, and Andrea La Rose.
The musicians of thingNY are a prolific bunch. They've collaboratively created four operas: their latest, This Takes Place Close By, explores the reactions of isolated individuals in the wake of a devastating storm, and was hailed as "blackly amusing, sonically rich" by NY Music Daily. It premiered September 2015 at The Knockdown Center, a 50,000 square-foot space in Maspeth, Queens, and toured to Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven, Edmonton and Calgary during its production. Their first opera, ADDDDDDDDD, premiered in 2009 and was released on CD in 2010 with a comic-book libretto, and has been called "an arresting hour-long gobstopper" by the New Yorker. In 2011, thingNY collaborated with Panoply Performance Laboratory to create Time: A Complete Explanation in Three Parts, accompanied by a 250-page hardcover book. Jeff Young and Paul Pinto, Patriots, Run for Public Office on a Platform of Swift and Righteous Immigration Reform, Lots of Jobs, and a Healthy Environment: an Opera by Paul Pinto and Jeffrey Young, a 30-minute, politically-charged, theatrical work, has toured across the country since 2011 and was released as an album with accompanying campaign buttons in 2018 on Gold Bolus Recordings.
thingNY has premiered many works of high energy chamber music by its ensemble members, including Paul Pinto's wildly verbose minis series and Erin Rogers' whimsical Trajectories, which were released together on Gold Bolus Recordings in 2016. In 2018 and 2019, the group went amplified to premiere the live version of Andrew Livingston's Gold Bolus album News from the Oort Cloud in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, and then fully acoustic to premiere Dave Ruder's understated You Must Read a Lot of Jung in Queens, DC, and Connecticut alongside Skylighght, a work collaboratively created and performed by Erin Rogers and Gelsey Bell. In 2017, thingNY presented and performed the premiere run of Paul Pinto's Thomas Paine in Violence in association with HERE Arts Center.
thingNY has commissioned, premiered, and toured works by groundbreaking composers outside the group, including Passover, a new piece written in 2018 by Rick Burkhardt. In 2015, they joined indie superstar Helado Negro in the collaborative string-conducted project Brainfinger, presented by the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Hall. From 2010-2012, thingNY premiered hundreds of works over the course of three marathon performances called SPAM, in which the ensemble sent out a mass call for scores by email and performed every submitted piece.
thingNY has produced some of their most interesting work in underutilized or radically reimagined spaces, including the 2020 live-streamed SubtracTTTTTTTTT, created and performed online at a time of social distancing. In 2014, with the teenage new music ensemble Face the Music, the ensemble created a spatialized sound performance on the walkway surrounding the Queens Museum's 9335 square foot Panorama of New York City. Their 2011 mobile sound installation In House featured live performers playing music written for in each of the rooms commonly found in a home and housed itself, among other places, in an abandoned Lower East Side apartment and an 18th century house museum. In 2017, to commemorate the ensemble's 10th anniversary, the group created thingNY: 10 Years in the (Music) Making, an interactive visual and electronic installation at Harvestworks Digital Media Art Center where the group covered the walls with memorabilia from their first decade. And, in an industrious flurry, the group refitted an old taxi garage for a three-day festival of experimental opera in Long Island City in 2012.
thingNY is a driving force in the New York music community, working to bolster and support new music and experimental performance, curating the New Music Showdown (2013-2014) and the Immediacies Series (2012-2014), putting a swath of performers from NYC and beyond in conversation with one another and allowing them to perform anti-concert-hall or difficult-to-program works. thingNY has also performed important contemporary works such as Frederic Rzewski's Attica (1971), the New York premiere of Vinko Globokar's rarely staged opera Un Jour Comme Un Autre (1975), and played a large role in Varispeed's acclaimed site-specific adaptation of Robert Ashley's Perfect Lives (2011).
thingNY has received multiple grants from the Aaron Copland Fund, Chamber Music America, Amphion Foundation, New Music USA, the New York Department of Cultural Affairs, Network of Ensemble Theaters, and the Queens Council on the Arts, and residencies at Incubator Arts Project, Standard Toykraft, Orange Theatre, and the LaGuardia Performing Arts Center. In 2013, the ensemble helped launch Spaceworks LIC, with an intimate performance for Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer through the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City. thingNY is featured on Season 3 of the Made HERE documentary series, devoted to the lives of performing artists based in New York City.

Since 2013, he has been the driving force behind Gold Bolus Recordings, where you can find a number of his solo recordings and collaborations. In 2019, thingNY premiered Dave's composition You Must Read a Lot of Jung.[daveruder.com]
Erin Rogers is a Canadian saxophonist and composer based in New York City. Her works have been performed by the Stony Brook Contemporary Chamber Players, Anubis Quartet, Lost Dog Ensemble, IKTUS Percussion, Project Fusion, and Madrid's Tribuna Sax-Ensemble. She has played with the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), Copland House, mise-en, and PRISM, and is a founding member of the New Thread Saxophone Quartet and Hypercube (formerly IKTUS Combo). In 2013, Erin was awarded a Jerome Fund Commission from the American Composers Forum for Mother Earth, a work for flute, sax quartet and electronics, that premiered at Carnegie Hall. Her work Trajectories was featured at the 2015 Ecstatic Music Festival. [erinmrogers.com]
Paul Pinto is a composer, writer and performer. He makes noises sometimes. Sometimes with thingNY and Varispeed. Other times just in his living room. Often, he writes them on paper and makes other people make the noises for him. He's got a bunch of albums, including minis/Trajectories, and Jeff Young and Paul Pinto, Patriots. When he performs other people's noises, it sometimes involves singing and dancing on Broadway in The Great Comet of 1812, touring the manic 5-octave Eight Songs for a Mad King, or doing something fringy and challenging. In 2017, Paul premiered his opera Thomas Paine in Violence and in 2018, his solo dance piece 15 Photos. Now he's working on an opera about boxing. [pfpinto.com]
Andrew Livingston is a bassist, cellist and composer/sound artist in Brooklyn. He studied with a bunch of awesome composers and musicians that are widely unknown and a couple that may be (known.) He has a masters in music theory and composition from CUNY. Andrew plays in rock bands and with a bunch of singer songwriters to win bread. He composes music and does sound design for theatre stuff sometimes and frequently collaborates with puppeteer, and performer Daniel Fay in their multimedia theatre group Unitards.[myspace.com/andrewhlivingston]
Gelsey Bell is a singer, songwriter, and scholar. She is a core member of thingNY, Varispeed, and the Chutneys. She is the 2018 EtM Ridgewood Bushwick Composer-in-Residence. She received a 2017 Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artists Award and was an artist-in-residence at Roulette in 2015/16. She has worked with numerous other artists including Robert Ashley, Matthew Barney and Jonathan Bepler, Dave Malloy, Kate Soper, Erik Ruin, Rick Burkhardt, John King, Kimberly Bartosik, Yasuko Yokoshi, Miguel Frasconi, Cleek Schrey, and Gregory Whitehead. She has a PhD in Performance Studies from NYU. [gelseybell.com]

Nul Points: A History of Eurovision's Greatest Trainwrecks
Since Eurovision adopted its current voting system, where dozens of countries assign between one and 12 points to the competition's entries via telephone voting, only 14 songs out of thousands have received the most dreaded rating of all: "Nul points."
It's the phrase every Eurovision entry has nightmares about, and it hasn't happened in the competition's finals since 2003. Its rarity is partly because of the competition's scale: with so many countries voting, and so many geographical allegiances at play, your song has to be truly putrid to fail to collect one point from anyone. Here's some members of that hallowed hall of fame:
"Mil Etter Mil," Norway (1978)
This perfectly ordinary ditty ("Mile After Mile" in English) was probably doomed by the very unenthusiastic delivery from singer Jahn Teigen, whose red pants were so velvety they appear as two shapeless blurs on camera. Teigen's delivery is unenthusiastic, we should say, until he goes CRAZY 2 minutes and 40 seconds in, and then the whole thing shifts into a new gear of embarrassing. Apparently Teigen hated the arrangement and re-recorded it as a rock song, and it was a huge hit in Norway, but we have no way of proving that.
"Nuku Pommiin", Finland (1982)
Without knowing anything about what Finnish star Kojo is singing about here, it's not too hard to figure out why his raspy, shouted, off-key performance got zero points. But some investigation into his lyrics reveals even more distressing information. "Nuku Pommiin," literally "Sleep to the bomb," advises listeners to sleep through a nuclear attack to avoid its effects. At one point he supposes that someone will "soon throw a nuclear poop here on our Europe."
"¿Quien Maneja Mi Barca?" Spain (1983)
Fine, BBC announcer Terry Wogan's dry commentary ("this is very, very ethnic") doesn't help. But this is a new level of bad. The bigger Eurovision got, the harder it was to get "nul points." Flamenco singer Remedios Amaya forgets to hold her microphone near her mouth at one point, and that's the highlight of this synthy, atonal masterpiece. The lyrics have a lot of questions: "Who sails my boat? It's drifting away from me. Tell me, who sails my boat?" Later, she asks "Your mother's braids, tell me, who braids them?" (Wogan's thoughts: "I don't think she should have taken it so badly, it's only an old boat.")
"Lisa Mona Lisa," Austria (1988)
Poor Wilfred was probably very nervous on Eurovision night, because he forgot to sing his song, instead mumbling very quietly into his microphone. Then he throws to an extra from Dynasty who breathes the word "Mona Lisa" at everyone, which seems to jazz up his confidence. Wilfred looks like he's shrinking into his giant suit jacket over the whole song, but it's an optical illusion created by the horrifying quality of his singing.
"Lopšinė mylimai," Lithuania (1994)
This is the typical "nul points" entry. They tend to be ignored not because they're uniquely terrible, but because they're so boring. Everyone watching Eurovision is hoping for a trainwreck; no one really wants to make fun of some perfectly nice man from Lithuania singing a "lullaby for my beloved." Especially since this was Lithuania's first entry to the contest. Poor guys, they've been through enough as it is.
"San Francisco," Norway (1997)
Oh, now this has some kick to it! There's some actual instruments being played! This thing is, frankly, adorable. The lovely Tor Endresen and what is probably a bunch of friends from his bridge game had just heard about San Francisco and wanted to tell us all about it. There's references to putting a man on the moon, Jimi Hendrix, and "California Dreamin.'" If anyone ever asks you why people watch Eurovision, show them this, and when they reply that this is awful, just stare at them blankly and call them heartless monsters.
"Lass'ihn," Switzerland (1998)
Also known as "Leave Him Alone." For some reason, Gunvor's introductory video is focused on the Loch Ness Monster, which as far as I'm aware is said to reside in Scotland, not Switzerland, but that's the energy Gunvor wanted to channel before she shouts at us about dumping a man. The lyrics are an ultimatum, telling him to leave for good. It's unclear whether the man she's addressing is that electric violinist who keeps eyeing the camera. "That dress sort of promised more than it delivered, didn't it?" Wogan sighs at the end.
"Cry Baby," United Kingdom (2003)
The most recent "nul points" flop is one of the most notorious and simply has to be seen to be believed. There's no other way to put this: UK pop duo Jemini are singing out of tune. Like, badly, badly off-key. More than 100,000 Brits voted to send this song to the competition, which means the other options must have been various sounds of animals being butchered. Jemini admitted they could not hear the backing track, and Terry Wogan warned them that Britain's unpopular participation in the Iraq War that year would count against them. But even if Britain had just released a global cancer cure into the air for free that year, "Cry Baby" would have gotten nul points. "Cry Baby" gets nul points forever and ever.

Your health is just as unique as is your personality. That is why at Connected Chiropractic we customize every portion of our care to fit your needs. This includes individualized care, and specific goal setting that allow us to maximize your life. The best part about it is that you will never have to guess, or even wonder about any portion of your treatment plan. We value each of our patient's, and therefore, we take the time to sit down and explain every detail to you upfront. This allows you to make a fully informed decision from the start, and together we create an effective road-map to a happier healthier life.
If you are in pain when you come into Connected Chiropractic, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and begin to correct the underlying cause. We do this by improving the structure of your spine, and removing nerve interference that blocks your healing potential. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-8 weeks.
During the stabilization phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of this phase of care is to help take your spine from its fragile state into a more stable state, and bring your body back to an optimal level of functioning by ensuring your nervous system is able to effectively communicate throughout your entire body. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 4-8 times per month for 2-3 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Once your body has fully healed and your nervous system is communicating at 100%, we need to take pro-active measures to maintain this level of health. That is why is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments whether symptoms are present or not, because we want to avoid further problems in the future. The goal is to not only get you well, but also to keep you there and preserve your quality of life for the years to come. Usually, this phase of chiropractic care only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.


I'm posting my wrap-up for A Literary Christmas, late of course, but I was only participating loosely since that tends to work best for me. Any reviews will be in November and December books read posts. Now, I need to peruse everyone's links to find ideas for next Christmas.
The Tailor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter. I added this.
Christmas At Fairacre Miss Read. I guess I'll try this next year.
Stories Behind the Best-Loved Songs of Christmas Ace Collins. I loved this at first but had my confidence in his veracity shaken by one of the stories (see my review); however, I think that if the updated version has corrections, I want to buy it and the second one as well as his book of stories (which Sarah of Lilacs and Springtime mentioned, and which I then requested from the library, but it looks like it might have been lost or taken off the shelves since my request), and maybe read a story a day for a Christmas countdown next year.
Pagan Christmas: The Plants, Spirits, And Rituals at The Origins of Yuletide Christian Rätsch. Yeah, um this was disturbing. Also, not quite honest. Seemed to not merely be a factual story but a promotion of ancient paganism and drug use. Also, you can't separate the pagan aspects out from Christian aspects so easily. Christmas is more like spaghetti historically, and you won't get an honest picture unless you look at all the parts with some organization, something these authors weren't doing. I put down.
Christmas Customs and Traditions, Their History and Significance by Clement A Miles. I added this but only got through a few chapters as it was written in 1912 and is a bit more scholarly than easy. I do want to get it again, but I think I will start over and read more carefully and take notes.
I didn't make anything this year except what Mom had already decided on. Maybe I'll have more motivation next year. I own the last book already, but I'd like the other German baking book as well if not also the Scandinavian one.
I'm linking up here for A Literary Christmas again.
I actually planned and researched better this time (I have a list for holiday books to choose from now), and below is my Christmas reading list; I've ordered these already (because previous years I didn't think, that you know, other people might have requested books near Christmas), and I should be able to put off reading them until December (or at least until after Thanksgiving) to read.
I've used up my interlibrary loans for this month, but I think I might try to order some Christmas ones in December, we shall see.
Most Christmas books I seemed to see are either kids books (I've included a few from my childhood), Hallmark style (I'll stick to the movies), moralizing (no thanks), or Christmas histories. So most of my choices are kids books and histories of Christmas traditions, carols, etc.
I've also included the Christmas baking books from the library I want to peruse along with the one I own for some Christmas goodies.
I read Frankenstein this month for The Classics Club October Dare. I'm a procrastinator, so I'm really lucky that I have a review done at all; I'm actually proud of myself since I did think ahead, takes notes, and make an outline. I just didn't leave myself enough time for a couple drafts. And I have more words on this book/the background than the close to 1,000 below.
I'd never really wanted to read Frankenstein; I am not drawn to horror which is what I thought this book was. I procrastinated to start it, and then quickly realized that the book is incredibly dull, predictable rather than suspenseful and frightening. Then I procrastinated because of the tedious verbosity and dull, slow (because of said verbosity) plot. This book requires far too great a suspension of disbelief and not for creativity but for plot holes and devices. I knew some of the circumstances of the writing, written by a teenager during a sort of dare (although undergoing revisions, possibly with her eventually husband's help). But because it was a classic I was expecting a solid story and prose vs obviously written in Romantic vein by uncontrolled, undisciplined teenager! I think it is famous for the barest plot concept that more recent portrayals have developed and that readers then insert into the story.
This book features absolutely atrocious prose. I was gagging over the stock Romantic language and expression; the flowery verbosity and excessive, sanctimonious and fawning emotionalism and sentimentality. The author is tedious and repetitiveness with details that take away from the story rather than add to it. These fountains of extraneous detail fill in most of the story which would have little substance else because concepts pertinent to the plot are vague and general. And I didn't find a hint of irony in all this language either.
In amidst all this fluff, some scatter trails of a plot float. With much unrelated verbosity we are get the story from various narrators in a general and literal way (and Frankenstein continually drops spoilers). Everything has told us by the author via her narrators rather than displayed via art; she gives no detail (regarding the actual plot), not from mystery, but from ignorance and lack of creativity. In addition to having a spare plot delivered literally, the plot has so many devices, holes, and implausible points. Shelley exhibits total unawareness of any other class than her own (and any other point of view than her coterie) and this leads to so many of the issues.
Let's start with Victor Frankenstein, who by the by is no doctor but a pedantic, spoiled, sheltered, young fool. Because of these things, I don't see how he had: 1) the ability to pursue this creation; he very obviously isn't the brightest, 2) the interest/passion to pursue such a thing (so little reason had he that I assumed his friend would die and he would revive him, nope, he is just playing around, and he didn't seem to have passion for anything except whining and protestations, 3) the stomach for such a task; he was such a hypochondriac and always talking about his delicate sensibilities, and 4) the will for such a task; he is indecisive, passive, and lazy elsewhere in the story, dragging his feet at every turn.
Now onto his implausibly created monster. He isn't described and since the author doesn't forget any other descriptions (however poor they are and however little they apply to the story), this doesn't come across as mysterious but rather a lack of creativity. Everything about Frankenstein's creation is implausible; he has a fully developed mind with the elasticity of a child's brain with the thought processes of adults. His mind is full of Romantic sensibilities which he quickly taps into thanks to the improbably (and highly Romantic) circumstances of finding himself by educated people who coincidentally aid his learning. All of this is too convenient. He could have had the soul of a demon or another dead person or the mind of the person whose brain Frankenstein gave him. He could have truly come from nothing, truly a blank slate in which case he would have had the mind of an infant or an animal.
In the same vein, a double-minded author doesn't equal a truly conflicted villain; that requires insight and talent. He comes across as a psychopath; only when he gets what he wants does he act anything like appropriately, his manipulations and revenge, his complaints and reviling, his vicious triple murders (two of which were in cold-blood, the other a child murder) of innocent people to wreak personal revenge all point to psychopathy. His rage isn't the bewildered, blind lashing out of the abused and abandoned by humanity (that is also implausible, no one gives him any aid at all?), it is very specific, clever revenge. He goes from zero to one hundred in this quite fast. Of course, there are inconsistencies here, sometimes he does rage against humanity (from his tiny experience).
Overall the moral issues are grossly and falsely simplistic expressions of false choice moral "dilemmas"—more from inconsistent plot and lazy thinking, ignorant/irresponsible idle upper-class perspectives than from any understanding of the complexities of human nature and circumstances. All sorts of misunderstandings of duty and virtue. Virtue doesn't turn to evil; doing good in good times doesn't make one virtuous; the monster wasn't ever virtuous, nor did he try. As to the idea that Frankenstein is the villain, I don't think the story has the depth and irony; I don't see any irony at all in Victor Frankenstein's portrayal; I don't think Romantics understood or appreciated in since they enacted in their own lives as well as in their stories such drama that is ludicrously ripe for satire). I think we can get deep discussion out of the plot and morals (or lack thereof) in the book, but that fact doesn't make the novel itself deep.
After reading, I immediately had to look and see what other reviewers thought on Goodreads. This review expresses my opinions (and I'm sure others) in a hysterical way.


Note: Extended Review Per Lead The Project would develop a new mixed-use development and rehabilitate the Times, Plant, and Mirror Buildings on the approximately 3.6-acre site in Downtown Los Angeles. New development, consisting of the 37-story "North Tower'' and 53-story "South Tower'' would be located in the west sector of the block. The existing Executive Building and parking garage would be demolished to allow for the Project's new mixed-use component. The North and South Towers, which would be constructed above a five-story parking podium, would contain approximately 1,127 residential units and approximately 34,572 square feet of commercial floor area. The space below the podium would contain an additional nine levels of subterranean parking. The combined commercial and residential floor area would total approximately 1,135,803 square feet. In total, including new construction and existing buildings to remain, the Project proposes approximately 1.511,908 square feet of floor area. This would result in a floor area ratio (FAR) of 9.42:1.

Q: Add JS Function into jQuery Validation I want to add this function into my JS code :
JS Username validator : prevent some characters.
jQuery.validator.addMethod("userNameRule", function(string, element) {return !string.match(/[-\.;,`~!@#\$%\^&\*\(\)\]\+=|\/\\{\[\}'":\?><]/g);});

and how to add to this JS function :
$('#button_sign_up').click(function()
{
if(userNameRule)
{
username can't contains characters.
}
}

A: I used this approach:
$.validator.addMethod("phoneNos", function(value, element) {
        return /^\d+$/.test(value.replace(/[()\s+-]/g, ''));
    },
    "Please enter numbers or spaces only"
);

$("#myForm").validate({
    rules: {
        telephone: {
            required: true,
            minlength: 9,
            maxlength: 14,
            phoneNos: true
        },
        mobile: {
            required: true,
            minlength: 10,
            maxlength: 11,
            phoneNos: true
        }
    },
    // error Placement
});

The key here is that within the jQuery form validation, you specify the function name as true within the form elements that you want to be validated.

Depending on the kind of coupling of electromagnetic disturbances the phenomenon are divided into two different groups. In case the disturbance signal is air-borne one speaks of radiated interference while in case of disturbance signals are line-carried one speaks of conducted interference.
Both stationary high-power radio transmitters and non-stationary walkie-talkies or mobile telecommunication devices operating in the immediate vicinity of systems or equipment lead to uncontrolled electromagnetic radiation into vulnerable electronic equipment.
Parameters: Narrow-band, continuous electromagnetic interference (modulated).
In the close vicinity to these lines high magnetic fields can be generated and coupled into other electronic or electrical systems.
Lightning strokes into HV voltage power distribution systems are causing high electromagnetic fields which are able to cause induced voltage in any low voltage distribution system, such as power mains systems. Also telecom networks, due to the extended distribution of cabling, are threatened by indirect lightning effects.
Parameters: Range of voltage some tens of kilovolts, range of current some hundreds of amps, high-energy pulses with rise times in the microsecond range.
Electromagnetic influences produced in the neighborhood by rapid variation of voltage and current as a result of the abrupt change of a switch from a non-conductive to a fully conductive status or vice versa, e.g. switching inductive loads with mechanically moved contacts between which arcing occurs before they separate.
Parameters: Broad-band pulse interference, rise time of pulses of a few nanoseconds, small energy content and high repetition rate.
Switching heavy inductive or capacitive loads in low voltage power mains supply systems are causing transients of high energy and high voltage, depending on the installation category.
Parameters: Range of voltage some up to tens of kilovolts, range of current some tens of kilo amps, high-energy pulses with rise time and duration in the microsecond range.
Lightning strokes into high voltage power distribution systems are causing transients in low voltage power mains networks. Via coupling these transients can also be detected in data bus systems, I/O lines and any cabling in the industrial area.
Parameters: Range of voltage some tens of kilovolts, range of current some tens of kilo amps, high-energy pulses with rise times in the microsecond range.
Voltage dips and short interruptions are caused by faults in the network, in installations or by a sudden large change of load. In certain cases, two or more consecutive dips or interruptions may occur. Voltage variations are caused by continuously varying loads connected to the mains supply network.
Parameters: These phenomena are random in nature and can be characterized in terms of the deviation from the rated voltage and duration.
ESD occurs when the static electric field between two objects exceeds the dielectric strength of the air between them. The discharge is a complex event involving a local transfer of charge at the point of discharge, electromagnetic near field coupling between the objects involved, induced current flow in the object receiving the discharge and radiated electromagnetic energy from the charged object as well as from the arc of the discharge. All of these phenomenon are capable of causing malfunctions and, in some cases, damage in electronic equipment.
Parameters: The major effects are generated by the discharge current (< 100A) and voltage (< 30kV) with rise times in the nanosecond and even in the picosecond range.
Conducted radio-frequency disturbance occurs from intended rf transmitters affecting cables such as mains supply lines, signal lines or earth connections between different parts of an electrical or electronic systems.
Parameters: The interference signal is a an amplitude modulated or pulse modulated signal, typically in the frequency range between 9kHz and 80MHz, sometimes extended to 230MHz.
With an increasing number of electronic power supplies used in a wide range of products the aim to limit the harmonic current emission has become more and more important. It is a specific interest of the power distribution companies to keep the harmonic current emission to a considerable low level as harmonic current causes unnecessary loading of the power distribution infrastructure. This again may affect both quality and reliability of the power supply.
Parameters: Harmonic currents are measured up to the 40th harmonic of the fundamental. Limits for each harmonic are specified depending on the type of product.
During an entire duty-cycle of a product sudden voltage changes, voltage fluctuations or flicker might occur. This may effect the quality of the mains supply voltage. Flicker can be visually recognized as the illumination strength of a lamp may drop significantly even for a very short time. To keep such phenomenon to the minimum limits have been introduced for the impact of load variations to the public mains supply network.
Apart from the basic phenomena as described here above a wide range of additional requirements can be found for special electrical and electronic systems such as vehicles. These requirements are based on the fact that within a vehicles supply system a large number of sub-systems and components are installed generating interference and at the same time being exposed to interference. Some of the phenomena that can be found on-board vehicles look similar to the ones that are specified in the basic standards of IEC. Some are specific for thes systems.
Many vehicle manufacturers have set up their own EMC requirements for both conducted and radiated immunity and emission testing. These requirements supersede the national and international standards existing for EMC testing on vehicles (e.g. ISO7637, SAE J1113, JASO).

Almost one month into the NDIS and Lifebridge is beginning to see some activity. I would like to thank those customers who have contacted Lifebridge when you have received your NDIS plan. It is critical that you let us know when you have a plan. Lifebridge cannot provide service to you without a new signed service agreement. The sooner you notify Lifebridge the quicker we can meet with you to negotiate the terms of the agreement all of which will ensure a smooth transition from ADHC to the NDIS.
These are very exciting times and hold the potential for exploring new opportunities. Over the coming years, Lifebridge looks forward to working with each of you as we work towards the achievement of your life goals.
In order to do this we will be changing our business model and the way in which we deliver service. This is all in response to the NDIS and the Aged Care reforms, however, Lifebridge sees it as an opportunity to improve our services and improve the customer experience.
At this point in time, very little will change for our aged care customers. The Cottage at Kingscliff will continue to operate and services will continue as usual. Aged Care will continue to receive government funding which means that existing services will need to be maintained. However, we will be working with our customers to consider areas where improvements can be made and how we can change some of our activities to better meet customer need and improve the customer experience.
As part of this, Aged Care will be holding three information sessions regarding Home Care Packages and My Aged Care. I would encourage all customers to participate. Bring along a friend and learn about the changes; what it means to have a package and how you can access one.
As you would have read in the letter recently sent to you, Lifebridge will be closing Caloola next year. Although this is a major change, it will bring greater opportunity for community inclusion and accessing mainstream amenities. It will reduce the time and expense that can be consumed by unnecessary travel and allow more time to focus on achieving goals.
These are very exciting times for both the disability sector and aged care. Thank you for working with us as our partners as we navigate these changes together.

Foreclosure filings see small bump in August: Attom
Lenders began the foreclosure process on 53K US properties last month

by Veronika Bondarenko
Authorities initiated the foreclosure process for 53,007 properties across the U.S. — a number that's up slightly from July but still very low overall.
According to the latest data released on Thrusday by Attom Data Solutions, foreclosure filings are up 4 percent from July 2019 but down 24 percent from the same time last year. In other words, 1 in only every 2,554 homes across the country received a foreclosure filing in the month of August.
Foreclosure starts, or the first step in the process of having one's house seized due to inability to pay the mortgage, affected a total of 27,886 properties, up 7 percent from July while still down 15 percent from last year.
Attom Data Solutions
But even as national foreclosure numbers stay low, some parts of the country are seeing rates that counter national trends. Delaware, New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois and Florida saw some of the nation's highest foreclosure rates last month — 1 in every 1,106, 1,192, 1,218, 1,562 housing units and 1,633 housing units, respectively.
Urban areas tend to have higher foreclosure rates overall as well — New Jersey's Trenton and Atlantic City and North Carolina's Fayetteville had three of the highest numbers across the country. Big cities with the worst rates include Jacksonville, Florida; Baltimore, Maryland; Chicago, Illinois; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
And as the final step in the foreclosure process, lenders repossessed 11,493 U.S. properties in August, up 4 percent from July but down 47 percent from last year. But while foreclosure and failure to pay a mortgage is a serious problem for some, the numbers paint a good picture overall. August marks the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year decreases — caused, in no small part, by high employment rates and a strong economy.

The Malaysia Football League (MFL) have filed a lawsuit against Telekom Malaysia (TM) at the Kuala Lumpur High Court following the alleged breach of contract after the telecommunications giant reportedly failed to make payment for sponsorship and broadcasting rights this year.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Football League (MFL) have filed a lawsuit against Telekom Malaysia (TM) at the Kuala Lumpur High Court following the alleged breach of contract after the telecommunications giant reportedly failed to make payment for sponsorship and broadcasting rights this year.
On March 15 (Friday), MFL announced that they were officially parting ways with TM after receiving consensus from their board of directors'.
However, TM responded by issuing a media statement stating that they were no longer sponsors of the Malaysia League (M-League) after terminating the contract on November 1 last year, as they also denied that they had failed to meet contractual obligations.
"The sponsorship contract that was signed by us (MFL) and TM was for a duration of eight years starting from January last year until 2025. The terms and conditions were agreed and sealed in January 2018 and in a statement with MFL, formerly known as FMLLP (dated February 1, 2018) titled 'Unifi unites the Malaysian nation through football', which was issued as a sign of the agreed sponsorship for the M-League.
"Unfortunately, TM suggested new terms which included changes to the basic terms that had been agreed and signed together. Such changes that TM wanted to include clearly conflicted the previous agreement.
"Due to this, we just could not agree because it was seen as a way for TM to break free from their obligations under the terms that had been agreed upon and signed earlier," said the media statement from MFL.
MFL are standing by their account of what has transpired between the two parties and said that the Government-Linked Company (GLC) refused to negotiate or find an amicable solution.
The M-League administrators also stressed that they had never agreed to any of the purported changes and revised terms, as TM's new demands never received any approval.
"Therefore, we have been forced to pursue legal action against TM as a means to protect what is rightfully the rights of the teams' that are competing in the M-League, as well as to preserve the interest of national football.
"The sum of demands towards TM under the sponsorship contract amounts to more than RM400million and the lawsuit will also be served to TM's lawyers today (Thursday).

Q: docker compose version 2 recreates container when it should not I'm using docker compose version 2 and I'm trying to create containers and attach them to a specific custom network. My ultimate goal is to create bundles of applications where each bundle will have a different suffix at the container name and network name. Every container with the same suffix will attach to the network with the same suffix.
I'm creating and running the containers with docker-compose up. The first time everything works great. The second time, now using a different suffix so the container names are different, instead of creating and running the new containes, docker compose will recreate the old containers (that had different names). Everything else is the same, except for the name which I thought would be enough. I thought of using run instead of up but the depends_on is not working and the container_name is not working either.
https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/1347
Versions:
Docker version 1.13.0-rc2, build 1f9b3ef
docker-compose version 1.9.0, build 2585387

A: well i have done the similar kind of thing but i have used project name insisted of suffix.
you can specify project_name(or prefix) by -p option in docker-compose
docker-compose -p project1 up
It will create all container with project1_container_name_count and network with project1_network_name
now u can launch multiple container in same network (like different container using same DB) and they will be separated by suffix_count
like project1_app1 project1_app2

118 Experts Support Calls To Lower Prices Of Cancer Meds
23 July 2015, 9:29 am EDT By Rina Marie Doctor Tech Times
A total of 118 oncology doctors all across the US have come together to heed the call of cancer patients regarding expensive drugs required for their treatments. The group of experts proposed several measures, which could help to lower the prices of cancer medications. The group also expressed their support for a patient-based grassroots efforts that necessitates answers to these issues.
The high prices of cancer drugs are influencing the delivery of health care for patients with cancer, says Ayalew Tefferi, M.D., lead author and a hematologist at Mayo Clinic. In a US household, the average gross income is approximately $52,000 per year. A cancer patient requires about $120,000 per year for drug expenses but if insured, the total out-of-pocket-expense may reach up to $25,000 to $30,000, which is more than 50 percent of the household income on the average.
The proposal, published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings, cited a study performed in 2015 by D.H. Howard and colleagues et al, which discovered that over the past 15 years, the costs of medications for cancer treatment shot up by an annual average of $8,500.
The recommendations made by the group are said to improve the current situation of the patients and enable market forces to work more efficiently. The actions suggested by the group include forming a panel that would perform review mechanisms after a drug has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, enabling Medicare to bargain on the costs of drugs, allowing the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute to assess the benefits of new drugs and allow similar groups to evaluate the value of emerging treatments, enabling import transactions for personal use across boundaries, where drugs are cheaper, passing laws that will inhibit pharmaceutical companies to delay availability of generic medications, changing the mechanisms of patent system in a way that will delay drug product exclusivity and supporting oncology specialist organizations to review the general value of medicines and other therapies in devising more appropriate treatment guidelines.
The group of experts also backs up the advocacy on change.org that works against overly expensive cancer drug costs and aims to be heard by drug companies and other associated authorites to the issue.
"With proper support of these grassroots efforts and proper use of that support downstream, it should be possible to focus the attention of pharmaceutical companies on this problem," the authors write. This will also encourage elected representatives to stand for the most pressing issues that their constituents - the American cancer patients - are facing.

Men Are Ashamed of Ordering Vegetarian Food, Study Says
Men Are As...
This just in: Meatless meals aren't masculine. According to the results of a new research project, some men are outright embarrassed to order vegetarian fare. Researchers with the Man Food Project sat down with 22 British guys to explore the social and cultural pressures that persuade blokes to choose meat when they're out to eat.
The sample group was split into three categories: men who were vegetarian for environmental reasons, men who wanted to build muscle without eating meat, and men who only had access to food banks, and therefore ate mostly shelf-stable grub.
"A number of them relayed different experiences that indicated shame, embarrassment, or conflict-avoidance that on occasion led them to eat meat, or offer meat to guests in their house," lead researcher Dr. Emma Roe, a professor at the University of Southamptom, told Munchies, adding that men are often expected to be the butchers and barbecuers of society.
"Eating animals has been a key feature of the history of human civilization," she added. "It is a demonstration of the distinction between society and nature, because we can eat them. Men have been the dominant power in human civilization; thus, the association of eating meat is stronger for men than for women."
A 2016 survey by the Vegan Society also found that men choose meat and animal byproducts like butter and cheese drastically more often than women. According to the survey, about 63 percent of vegans in the U.K. in 2016 were female, while only 37 percent were male.
Regardless of how plant-based eating might reflect on a man's identity, it has increasingly become an option for everyone in recent years. Vegan foods haven't always been so readily available for people dining out, but today, there are tons of amazing vegan restaurants for herbivores across the nation.

March Against Monsanto: Thousands Participate in Global Day Of Protest Against the Biotech Giant
By Aubrey Bloomfield
Protests have taken place, or are still taking place, in hundreds of cities around the world as part of a coordinated global day of action against the biotech giant Monsanto and other similar companies (see my preview of the march here). Thousands of people have taken to the streets in an effort to raise awareness of the potential health and environmental risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), Monsanto's growing influence in the agricultural industry and its effect on farmers, and the collusion between Monsanto and politicians. The movement is also calling for a global ban on GMOs.
Despite the distinct lack of coverage of the march in much of the mainstream media, there is widespread coverage of the movement on Twitter (under hashtag #MarchAgainstMonsanto) and on some news websites such as Russia Today. Below are some highlights from the protests around the world.
In amazing scenes in Vienna, Austria, several thousand protesters marched against Monsanto:
Thousands also took to the streets in Brisbane, Australia:

Protesters also took to the streets in Japan:
People also gathered outside the headquarters of Monsanto in Tokyo, Japan to protest against the destructive influence of the multinational corporation in the global food supply:

Protests against Monsanto in Paris, France:
Protesters have also taken to the streets in cities across the United States, including San Diego:

While I was initially dubious about how much traction the protest movement would actually get, so far I have been pretty impressed by how widespread the protests have been and how many people have taken to the streets. I would be out there marching too, if I weren't writing this.
In addition to a global ban on GMOs, the March Against Monsanto movement is also calling for: buying organic produce and boycotting Monsanto-supplied companies (see a list below), labelling foods with GMOs, repealing the relevant provisions of the U.S. "Monsanto Protection Act," and further scientific research into the health affects of GMOs.
Anonymous has tweeted this list of Monsanto-supplied companies, urging people not to buy their products:
As Occupy Oakland tweeted, the March Against Monsanto is just the beginning:
Let's hope that Occupy is right and that this widespread and growing backlash against the company can be translated into further meaningful political and legal action.
You can follow live updates of the protests here, or on Twitter under the hashtags #MarchAgainstMonsanto and #MAM

Q: How to activate FastCGI Process Manager (FPM) in Xampp? I have just installed a recent version of Xampp on my Windows 10 laptop. PHP was installed separately (and earlier).
I am learning about PHP and read about the FastCGI Process Manager (post written in French). It says that FPM has been included natively since PHP 5.3.3 and that it is recommended to use it.
PHP info tells me that my version is 5.6.11, but that the Server API is Apache 2.0 Handler.

I am assuming that FPM is not enabled on my installation. How can I enable it? I have been searching for fpm modules in c:\xampp and c:\php, but cannot find anything.
