Q: Can't pull Fedora >34 for Docker? I'm using Fedora as the base image for a Docker. As I'm quite behind the current release I decided to switch to a higher version. Yet, it always fails as there's apparently an issue with the mirrors.
Here's the Dockerfile:
FROM fedora:34
ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
RUN dnf update -y
RUN dnf install -y lightdm
#And so on

This works.
Using FROM fedora:35 instead gives me:

This error is not uncommon, but rather something that appears on a bare metal machine. I'm not having any custom configuration over the mirrors.
After searching a while I could rarely find anything like that for docker.
Probably using a fastmirror could solve that, but how to implement that in a Dockerfile?

Glasshoughton Welfare maintained their play-off challenge in Division One of the Toolstation NCE League when they secured a 4-0 win at relegation threatened Brigg Town.
Conor Glavin's two first half goals set Welfare on their way and a further two from Andy Horbury in the second period settled the game.
Despite their lowly position Brigg battled hard and welfare keeper Matt Zaniewski had to make two fine saves in order to keep a clean sheet.
Ryan Ferguson and Gareth Hunter came back into the Houghton starting line-up from the side that had drawn against Winterton 48 hours earlier with Mitch Wilshire and Lewis Akeister making way.
Welfare were ahead from the eighth minute as Connor Rollinson's cross was met by Glavin who powered a shot from 18 yards past keeper Pat Shaw.
Two minutes later it was 2-0 when Glavin headed home James Kay's corner. Shaw did well to palm a Tom Carr header away as Welfare threatened again. At the other end Myles Lawman flashed a shot just wide and Zaniewski did well to keep out Joe Moloney's effort.
Welfare were looking to put the game to bed as the second half began, with Carr heading just wide and a 30-yard screamer from Alex Marsh clipping the bar. Shaw saved low shots from Glavin and Carr while Zaniewski foiled Jonny Nicholls with a fine block.
Welfare finally added to their tally with 15 minutes left as Horbury struck with a sumptuous volley from 30 yards out.
Horbury should have had his second minutes later when through on goal, but with only Shaw to beat he lifted his effort over. Substitute Jamie Simpson was then unlucky when his clinical effort from a cross was somehow cleared off the line by the foot of a defender.
Welfare completed the scoring just before the end when Horbury headed home from a Marsh corner.
Joint Welfare manager Lee Vigars said: "Fair play to our boys after working hard for the full 90 minutes and taking home the points less than 48 hours after an extremely tiring and energy sapping game against play-off rivals Winterton Rangers.
"We gave everything on Thursday night and ended up with a good point. That point is now an even better one as we have backed it up with a good away win.
Up against a Winterton team just above them in the table at the TJs Arena last Thursday, neither side could find the net and it ended 0-0.
Home keeper Jacob Collier hardly had a direct save to make in the first half. Opposite number Dale Coy's only anxious moment was a Tom Carr free-kick that just cleared the bar.
Welfare attacked more in the second half and a ball in from the right reached Mitch Wilshire, but he could only guide the ball into the arms of Coy. Late on Carr headed a corner down and Wilshire could not quite force the ball home.
Welfare host Rossington Main this Saturday and are at home to Campion next Tuesday.

Closed CTA station leaves residents anxious
By Editor on March 31, 2009
Story by Mandy Treccia
March 31, 2009 – When the CTA started remodeling work last March on the Brown Line Paulina station, Roscoe Village resident Nicole Cieslak did not think twice about it.
"I take the Brown Line on a daily basis because I work at the [Chicago] Merchandise Mart," said Ciselak, 27. "I just started getting off at the Southport stop and walking from there. It only took an extra 15 minutes and exercise never hurt anyone."
But recent crimes in the nearby Logan Square and Uptown neighborhoods have left Cieslak and other Roscoe Village residents unsettled about having to get off the el train further from their homes.
On Feb. 19, a woman leaving the Western Avenue Blue Line stop in Logan Square was grabbed by a man with a knife and sexually assaulted. Police believe the same man to be responsible for two other sexual assaults in the area and are urging women to be alert, according to statements issued to the media after the attack. The Chicago Police Department did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story.
"After hearing about those attacks I didn't want to walk home by myself at night," Cieslak said. "There's not a bus that I can take either without having to walk several blocks down Roscoe Street."
Cieslak asked one of her co-workers to start driving her home after work. She said it is inconvenient, but she does not see any other solution.
"Until they reopen the Paulina station, I'm not taking any chances," she said.
A CTA spokesman, who declined to give his name, did not have any firm date for the reopening of the Paulina station at 3411 N. Paulina St. Instead, he suggested residents continue to use the nearby Southport or Addison stops and take the bus from Ashland, Damen or Belmont to Roscoe Village.
Jennifer Deidel, 24, also lives in Roscoe Village and works in the Loop as a dance instructor. She said she does not take the Brown Line often, but when she has to, she makes sure she's not alone.
"The attacks made everyone nervous," Deidel said. "There has also been an increase in muggings in the news and I don't feel safe having to walk the extra mile because the station is closed."
Deidel attended the CAPS meeting at the Cotter Boys and Girls Club in Roscoe Village on March 3 to voice her concerns to fellow neighborhood residents and police officers. She has also made several calls to the community CTA representative, which she said have gotten her nowhere.
"The CTA basically tells me the new station is going to be great," Deidel said. "That doesn't really ease my mind when I have to walk home from Southport at night."
Deidel said she knows the station reopening will not completely solve the problem.
"The police need to focus their efforts on catching the person who is doing this," Deidel said. "I hope they're making it a priority."
Rob Schreck, 42, also attended the CAPS meeting to find out what was being done to increase security in the area. He said he was concerned about his wife and daughter taking the Brown Line because of the increase in crime along the CTA.
"The Paulina station is two blocks from our house," Schreck said. "I let my 13-year-old walk to the station all the time. But I don't want her walking to Southport or Addison."
Schreck said crime has never been a major issue in Roscoe Village, other than the occasional thefts.
"This is a safe neighborhood and I want it to stay that way," Schreck said. "I'll feel better when the station is open again."
When it opens, the renovated Paulina station will have longer platforms to accommodate longer trains, which will allow more riders to board the trains. It will also have accessibility for disabled riders and wider stairways to ease congestion and additional entrances and exits, according to the CTA website.
"It sounds like it's going to be great," Cieslak said. "But that doesn't help me feel safe at the moment."

Basilica of San Petronio
The Basilica of San Petronio is the main church of the Italian city of Bologna, from which the Plaza Mayor dominates. Its imposing dimensions (132 meters long and 60 meters wide, and a dome height of 45 meters) make it the fifth largest church in the world.
Dedicated to San Petronio, patron of the city (of which he was bishop in the 5th century), its construction dates back to 1390, when the city council commissioned Antonio di Vincenzo to build a large Gothic cathedral, which according to the first intentions should have surpassed - in dimension - the Basilica of St. Peter, in Rome (the project of such majesty was blocked by papal will).
The basilica enjoyed from the beginning of great prestige, to the point of being chosen by Carlos V for his coronation as emperor by Clement VII in 1530.
The works were extended for centuries: after the completion of the first version of the facade, in 1393 the works for the side chapels began, which were completed only in 1479. The decorations of the central nave are the work of Girolamo Rainaldi, which It took place between 1646 and 1658.
The beautification of the facade, with the new minor portals as a corollary of the central gate of Jacopo della Quercia, also meant the cladding of the facade. But the works stopped and resumed several times: numerous architects (among them, Baldassarre Peruzzi, Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola, Andrea Palladio, Alberto Alberti) were called to propose artistic solutions, without ever finding a definitive one. Today the facade remains incomplete.
The basilica was transferred to the diocese only in 1929 and was not consecrated until 1954; Only since 2000 has it housed the relics of the patron saint, until then preserved in the Basilica of Santo Stefano.
Inside, the Mystical Marriage of Santa Caterina by Filippino Lippi, a Virgin and Saints by Lorenzo Costa el Joven, a Pieta by Amico Aspertini.
Also notable are the play of colors of the plaster and polychrome stained glass.
Also noteworthy is the wooden choir of the Quattrocento de Agostino de 'Marchi, the two monumental organs (the one on the right, from 1475, is the oldest among the organs that came to us and the first of independent records, performed by Lorenzo di Giacomo da Prato; the one on the left, the work of Malamini (1596), was added at the end of the 16th century), and the ciborium of the main altar, erected in 1547 by Vignola.
The fourth chapel on the left side, the Bolognini Chapel, decorated in the early 1400s, has a rich marble transenna in the Gothic style; on the altar is a very rich gothic polyptych of gilded and polychrome wood, with twenty-seven carved and other painted figures. The walls are painted in fresco, in their entirety, by Giovanni de Modena: on the right the journey of the Magi; in the opposite, episodes of the life of San Petronio. On the left, the Universal Judgment complex presents a Dantesque-type figuration, divided into three spaces; above, paradise, place of the saints, with the coronation of the Virgin and Christ in an "almond" form (Deisis); below, the archangel Michael and Hell divided into "bolgias" (bolge, in Italian, by the work of Dante), with a gigantic figure of Lucifer and Muhammad lying down.
It is also possible to admire inside the church the Meridian of Giandomenico Cassini, built in 1655 on a project by the astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini: its 66.8 m long make it the longest meridian line in the world.
The church welcomes the remains of Elisa Bonaparte, sister of Napoleon.
The Basilica of San Petronio fascinated the Italian poet Giosuè Carducci, who dedicated the poetry Nella piazza di San Petronio.

Bologna Towers
The towers of Bologna are buildings of medieval origin located in that city of the Emilia-Romagna region (Italy). Between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the number of built towers was enormous. The figure of 180 has been mentioned, but scholars consider this figure an exaggeration, the result of an incorrect interpretation of the notarial texts of the time.
The reasons why so many towers were built are not clear. It tends to be thought that the richest families in the city, at a time marked by the struggles between the factions adept at the Pontificate and the Holy Roman Empire, used them as an instrument of attack and defense and, above all, as a symbol of power.
Throughout the thirteenth century, many towers were demolished and some collapsed. In later times, they were used in various ways: as prisons, shops or places of stay. The last demolitions occurred in 1917, when the Artenisi and Riccadonna towers were demolished for the sake of new urban planning.

Some people believe they are too shy or introverted to suceed in network marketing.
However, many introverted and shy people have hit huge incomes.
I'll explain, and I will show you how anyone can have success online or offline if they simply follow a proven process.
Most people who see high levels of success, are letting the tools do the work.
By following the same process, people who are shy and introverted see how it is possible for them to have success.
They see others who are like them doing it.
They see something easy, a easy to learn process, and know they can follow it.
Believe it or not, in my company and business model, if you can share a video you will see really good results.
You can point people to watch it.
You can put your link online and let people watch it.
As long as you can simply get people to watch a video, you have what it takes to succeed in the same company I am in.
So this is why I now am seeing other people duplicate the same results I have got.
They just do the simple stuff, and let the tools work the sales.
Prospect gets updated daily on the others who may be joining the team.
Prospect has until deadline to decide if they too want to join.
Prospect has benefit to join before deadline, which is team members contributing volume right out the gate.
One signup from anyone on the team usually leads to several more signing up before the deadline and everyone is happy.
Really simple, and this is exactly how you get a shy person to have success in companies like mine.
And let the tools do the work!
P.S Want to see why this system will get anyone signups, sales and success? Take the free tour, watch the video to learn more, and let me and my team build you a team you can earn money from! It's easy!

Actress Sue Ramirez was involved in a controversy with Land Transportation Office (LTO) after a netizen took a photo of the LTO employees in SM North EDSA while giving Sue a VIP treatment because she's an artist.
The netizen posted her complaint on social media that took the attention of the netizens who found it so unfair.
"So ganyan po ang LTO haha! Pag si Sue Ramirez shortcut, na-open ang close na computer! VIP si ate! "Ang sambayanan tuloy nagalit, so pag artista VIP? Kapag lumang artista hindi, ( That's how LTO is haha! If it's Sue Ramirez, No need to wait in the queue because they opened the turned-off computer! She is VIP! Now the people are mad." the netizen wrote.
"So, if they are celebrities, they should be treated as VIP, but if not, they need to need to follow the usual process)" the netizen wrote." netizen added.
"Sometimes, hindi rin fault ng celebrities. There are some celebrities who are willing to go through the process pero yung mismong government employee nagbibigay ng VIP treatment in exchange for a selfie or yung mapagmalaki man lang na nakita nya yung artista. "

The property is a totally made-over three-floors developed building that is still keeping its authentic country features: the arcade, the pigeonhole, the wood oven, the internal chimney etc... The building is divided in 2 indipendent living units, 150 square metres each one and it's fully furnished of all the most necessary facilities to guarantee a comfortable stay. A MONTE flat (one of the 2 living units) can host up to 7 people as it has 2 double rooms in which it's possible to add an extra bed under required; one extra wooden loft-bedroom with 2 single beds and one 40 square metres living room with chimney, and a wide area out of the house. A VALLE flat can host up to 6+1 people that can find a good accomodation with 2 double rooms (one of these available with bunk bed), a huge living room with chimney,a bathroom with shower-box and a wide area outside out of the building.

Mustafa the Poet has delivered a short film called Remember Me, Toronto. The film is about gun violence and how it affects his home, bringing in Drake for the discussion. The film has interviews from a variety of artists, who talk about their backgrounds with the subject and about the different perspectives in gun violence.


$500 price breaks if pups are picked up in person, pick of the litter will increase price $500-$1,000 Normally pups are $2,500 plus $400 for shipping inside USA, so the total is usually $2,900 shipped. For pups picked up you save the $400 shipping cost and also get a $500 discount for a total price of $2,000 picked up.
Depending on pup quality, age, gender, guarantee, contract, buyer, location, parents and pic of litter.
Please take into account that Turkish Shepherd dogs are super rare. That they are basically banned from exportation. And if you can find a way to import one look at spending about $3,000 for a Kangal to arrive at your door. They are generally long lived, healthy, weather hardy, safe around kids and non-threatining strangers, giant dogs, predator controlling and livestock loving.
To obtain a TRUE breeding quality pair you will need to buy 4 or so dogs as not every dog is breeding quality... there's $12,000 for Kangals, then add up feeding the 4 of them till they reach and age where their growth plates close and they are ready for hip/elbow X-rays( 2 years). Then all the vet bills and other overhead and labor cost... also an extra dog to clock in for your breeding female the 6 months a year when she is in heat, breeding, gestating, whelping and recovering. Your looking at a huge investment to become a breeder. So to sell kangal pups for $400 just isn't feasible. Buying a puppy from RMK is about the same cost to import one but much less health risk, money risk and headache.
I would be VERY wary of anyone selling Kangal or Boz Shepherd pups for less than $1,200... the only pups I have seen for that cheap are from PUPPY MILLS... or from people doing there best puppy mill impersonation. ALSO BE WARE OF A BREEDER WITH ONLY 2 DOGS, TWO KANGALS IS NOT MUCH TO SELECT FROM FOR BREEDING QUALITY AND ARE USUALLY BRED BECAUSE THATS ALL THEY HAVE. VERY RARE IS A BREEDER WITH JUST 2 DOGS THAT ARE GREAT WORKING DOGS WITH GOOD HIPS AND TEMPERAMENT. Once a blue moon though a solid pup will sell for less than $1,200 and its usually a female the breeder can't seem to sell as everybody wants a male kangal. Its just a mental thing as most kangal breeders will tell you the females usually guard better.
How to buy a Kangal puppy for wolf country : Find kangal breeders that x-ray all their dogs. A kangal breeder who has larger dogs but isn't just focused on size. Locate the breeders who keep their dogs with livestock in large pastures and/or open range in wolf territory. Now not just in pastures with woven livestock wire or hogwire but out there where the dogs will have to square off with real threats. Ask for references. Look at pedigrees. Check out the x-ray cards. See if they aggression test their dogs. Try to visit the kangal kennel and make sure its all real and not a sales pitch.
If you have any questions regarding the lies being told about myself, my dogs, my kennel or my business practices please feel free to ask and I will answer all of your questions.
To end on a good note. These are the best dogs on the planet... but don't take my word for it. The proof is in the pudding. Stop by if you're in the area and I promise you, you will fall in love with these Gentle Giants.
Not many dogs are this Large, safe around people, pretty much Bombproof around kids, dangerous around predators, easy to keep, long lived, smart, healthy, livestock loving and agile.... did I mention FAST!!!!
My large dog at 30" 155.lbs has a clocked sustained speed at 37mph and top speed of 40mph!!!
But this only happens when the dogs have good hips and a need for speed.
In my opinion Turkish Shepherd dogs are the best dog for guarding anything, especially in wolf country, while still being sociable.

The most powerful Sport Turismo becomes a plug-in hybrid
Porsche is expanding its hybrid range, as a powerful plug-in hybrid is being added to the Panamera Sport Turismo model line: the new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo.
The new Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo flagship model will combine a four-litre V8 engine with an electric motor, resulting in a system power of 500 kW/680 hp (Fuel consumption combined 3.0 l/100 km; energy consumption combined 17.6 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions 69 g/km). Even when just above idle speed, the Panamera Turbo offers 850 Nm of torque. That means it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 310 km/h. Average consumption in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) is 3.0 l/100 km. The most powerful Sport Turismo has a range of up to 49 kilometres using solely electric power and therefore producing zero local emissions. It is not just the balance between performance and efficiency that makes the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo unique in its segment; its spatial concept, including a large tailgate, low loading edge, increased luggage compartment volume and a 4+1 seating configuration, means that the new flagship of the model line offers a high standard of everyday practicality. Porsche combines unique design and excellent everyday practicality with top performance and maximum efficiency.
Zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds and 3.0-litre fuel consumption
As with the Panamera sports saloon flagship model, Porsche is now also demonstrating the huge performance potential of hybrid technology with the Sport Turismo. The boost strategy used in the series-production all-wheel drive Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo has been taken from the Porsche 918 Spyder super sports car. Even at 1,400 rpm, the V8 biturbo (404 kW/550 hp) and the electric motor (100 kW/136 hp) deliver the maximum system torque of 850 Nm. The decoupler integrated into the hybrid module is electromechanically actuated via an Electric Clutch Actuator. The result is short response times and a high level of comfort. The fast-shifting, eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) is used to transmit power to the standard adaptive all-wheel drive system Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
The E-performance drive allows the vehicle to sprint from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. It only takes a further 8.5 seconds to reach the 200 km/h mark. The top speed is 310 km/h. Despite this level of performance, the plug-in hybrid model is also extremely efficient: The result from the New European Driving Cycle was fuel consumption of 3.0 l/100 km and power consumption of 17.6 kWh/100 km. The Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo has a range of up to 49 kilometres and a top speed of 140 km/h when driven solely using electric power, which result in no local emissions. The lithium-ion battery has an energy content of 14.1 kWh and can be charged within 2.4 to 6 hours, depending on the charger and power connection.
Unique design, adaptive roof spoiler and 4+1 seating concept
The Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo offers all of the innovations of the second generation of the Panamera. These include the digitalised Porsche Advanced Cockpit, ground-breaking assistance systems such as Porsche InnoDrive including adaptive cruise control and optional rear-axle steering. Another of these innovations is the roof spoiler, which is unique in the segment, the pitch of which is set to one of three different angles depending on the driving situation and selected vehicle settings. It also generates additional downforce of up to 50 kg on the rear axle. Up to a speed of 170 km/h, the aerodynamic guide element – a central system component of the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) – stays in its retracted position at an angle of minus seven degrees to follow the roof line, which slopes to the rear. Above 170 km/h, the roof spoiler automatically moves to the performance position with an angle of plus one degree, thereby increasing driving stability and lateral dynamics. When in the Sport and Sport Plus driving modes, the roof spoiler automatically moves to the performance position at speeds of 90 km/h upwards. PAA also provides active assistance by adapting the roof spoiler's angle of inclination to plus 26 degrees when the panoramic sliding roof is open at a speed of 90 km/h or above in order to compensate for the turbulence created.
Conceptually, the top-of-the-line model offers all of the advantages of the new Sport Turismo range resulting from the avant-garde design. The roof line of the Sport Turismo, which is raised in comparison to the sports saloon, allows for easier entry and exit at the rear of the vehicle and ensures greater head clearance. The usability of the luggage compartment benefits from the wide opening tailgate, which is electrically operated as standard, and a loading edge height of just 628 millimetres. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is also equipped with three rear seats. The two outside seats take the form of individual seats–in keeping with the model line's claim for sporty performance with maximum passenger comfort–thereby producing a 2+1 configuration at the rear. Two electrically adjustable individual seats for the rear can also be ordered as an option. Measured to the upper edge of the rear seats, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo offers 425 litres of storage space. The backrests of the three rear seats can be folded down together or individually (in a 40:20:40 split) and are unlocked electrically from the luggage compartment. In this case, the loading volume is increased to up to 1,295 litres.
Extensive standard equipment including ceramic brakes
The Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo is available to order now, with prices starting from EUR 188,592 including VAT in Germany. The standard equipment is extensive: For example, it comes with electric Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC Sport) roll stabilisation including the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) rear differential lock, the high-performance Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) braking system, 21-inch alloy wheels in a 911 turbo design, Power Steering Plus, the Sport Chrono Package and auxiliary air conditioning as standard. As with all Panamera Sport Turismo models that deliver more than 324 kW (440 hp; Panamera Sport Turismo: Fuel consumption combined 9.5 – 6.7 l/100 km; CO2 emissions 217 – 176 g/km) of power, the new top-of-the-line model also features adaptive three-chamber air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) for a broad range between a high level of driving dynamics and driving comfort.
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo: Fuel consumption combined 3.0 l/100 km; energy consumption combined 17.6 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions 69 g/km

Selecting the right commercial refrigeration can have a huge impact on the efficiency of your kitchen's workflow. Pass-thru refrigerators can greatly improve the workflow in kitchens that can accommodate them, allowing both serving and kitchen staff to access the contents simultaneously. In some cases, they even serve as a merchandiser.
Size is always the first thing that should be considered when making a large equipment purchase. Refrigerator manufacturers usually rate the size of their models in cubic feet, but how the shelves can be set up is often more important than the size. Check how many shelves come with the unit and what increments the shelves are adjustable in. If you will be storing pans, you may also want to consider a unit set up with pan slides instead of shelves, which are usually at fixed increments.
Pass-thru refrigerators are available in one- or two-section units. If you are having trouble deciding between two sizes, go with the larger one. Adequate airflow is required to keep the food cool, so buying a size too small or overfilling it can strain the compressor and result in food being stored at unsafe temperatures.
Pass-thru refrigerators are models that have doors on the front and back. The number of sections the refrigerator has will play a role in determining how many doors the unit has. Each side will have one or two doors per section. The models with one door per section allow you to see the entire contents of that section when opened, but the half-doors, also called "Dutch doors," can limit the amount of cold air that escapes when the door is opened.
Another option available for refrigerator doors is solid or glass construction. Solid doors provide better insulation, but the fact that you cannot see what is behind the door until it is opened leads to the door often being held open longer than a glass door is, resulting in more cold air loss.
Pass-thru refrigerators that have glass doors on the front may also be used as merchandisers. These are often used to display drinks or desserts that are available for purchase. The doors on the back allow the refrigerator to be restocked as customers make their selections from the front.
Pass-thru refrigerators use a compressor to cycle the refrigerant through the box to maintain cool temperatures. This compressor is mounted on the top or bottom of the unit. Top-mounted compressors are usually preferred for locations with high amounts of flour in the air, including bakeries and pizzerias. Settling flour can be sucked into the coils of bottom-mounted compressors, which can make them less efficient, reduce the unit's ability to hold your food safely, shorten the life of your refrigerator, and require frequent maintenance.
Top-mounted compressors are best suited for cooler kitchens. Rising heat in a hot kitchen can make the compressor work harder to cool the refrigerant, resulting in decreased efficiency and a shorter life for the unit. These top-mounted units are more difficult to access for cleaning and service, but may require maintenance less often than bottom-mounted compressors.
If your pass-thru refrigerator will be a working box, meaning it will be opened frequently, you may want to consider a model that has an expansion valve. An expansion valve controls how much refrigerant flows through the system, matching that rate to maintain exact temperatures. That makes these units much more efficient in cooling and provides better recovery times compared to capillary tube systems. However, the latter, often called cap-tube systems, are typically more economical on initial purchase and are more common than their kin.
Self-closing doors can help save power by ensuring the door always closes after it is opened, even if the user has his or her hands full and cannot close it. Some door hinge designs allow the door to close on its own, with magnetic gaskets that ensure it seals fully. Some of those hinges also have a stay-open feature when pushed open to a certain angle to help make stocking easy.


You can generally count me out in heralding welfare reform as an unmitigated success. When President Clinton signed the bill into law ten years ago today, on August 22, 1996, he struck a dicey bargain, based on a premise that only a rich man would find credible: To end poverty, people had merely to go to work.
Yet there is a curious–and admittedly modest–silver lining to welfare reform. Ten years after its passage, a vast army of former welfare recipients, particularly single mothers, have joined the workforce. Research typically shows that, on average, they are not neither much worse nor much better off. The important part here is that, because the poor now work, the stereotype that poverty is a result of laziness wields far less credibility. At the same time, the dominant narrative of poverty has been transformed from a tale of "handouts" to one of struggling workers. This is most obvious in the wide range of public programs now referred to as "work supports," be they tax credits for low-wage workers, public health insurance programs for kids, affordable child care or food stamps. In fact, most of the money previously spent on direct cash assistance is now spent on these sorts of initiatives.
That marks a significant shift not just in dollars, but in how we discuss, defend, and support this reconfigured social safety net. Instead of the discussion being about whether we ought to spend public money on helping the poor, the debate is increasingly over how much to spend, and on which kinds of programs. Conservative in origin, welfare reform has seeded a radical change in American social policy: A general agreement that government should be helping struggling workers.
Before welfare reform, the easiest way to shoot down public programs was to classify them as "handouts," something that people too lazy to work got for free. Workers paid taxes, and, many reasoned, why should their hard-earned money go to someone sitting around doing nothing? By removing some of the stigma from government benefits–they're something offered to those who work hard–welfare reform has opened up space for broad support for social spending.
You can see this most clearly in discussions of programs designed to support the working poor, where you'll often find ardent supporters among the Republican officials who've been charged with trying to make the federal law actually work. Here in New York State, the chair of the state senate's social services committee, Raymond Meier, is a conservative Republican–and eloquent defender of work supports.
It would be naïve to ignore the deeply troubling trends in U.S. welfare policy today. In October, new federal regulations requiring states to get more work from a greater share of welfare recipients–or face fiscal penalties–will go into effect. The likely result is that states will steal money from their work support programs to try and get those still on the rolls into jobs. In a worst-case scenario, that could mean a drastic reduction–if not eradication–of public health insurance, affordable child care, tax credits and transportation assistance, sending already tenuous working families into a downward spiral.
Still, as welfare reform's tenth anniversary passes, it's worthwhile to note one of the few decidedly positive things to come out of it: A potentially fertile ground for fostering broad support for antipoverty programs.

Q: How do I make an iterator over a 2-dimensional table in Lua? I've got a lua table made of tables, so it's two-dimensional: root -> child -> grandchild.
None of the levels of this hierarchy is guaranteed to be "array-like". The first level has integers with "nil gaps", and second one is not even indexed by integers (but by tables).
The table in question is a private structure inside a lib. I want to provide a way for the library user to parse its grandchildren. I don't care much about the order in which the they are parsed, as long as all of them are.
The first thing I thought about was using a function accepting a callback:
-- this scope has access to root
function eachGrandChild(callback)
  for _,child in pairs(root) do
    for index,grandChild in pairs(child)
      callback(index, grandChild)
    end
  end
end

Usage:
-- no access to root, only to eachGrandChild
eachGrandChild(function(index, grandChild) print(index, grandChild) end)

This much is understood.
My question is: could I provide a similar functionality using an iterator instead?
I'm talking about something that would allow me to do this:
for index,grandChild in iterator() do
  print(index, grandChild)
end

I've been thinking about this for a while but I'm not able to crack it. All the examples I've seen use numbers to easily "manage the state of the iterator" on each iteration. Since I don't have numbers, I'm a bit stuck.

A: Coroutines make it easy to write this kind of iterator. A coroutine is a function whose execution can be suspended and resumed, conceptually like a thread. A coroutine can contain deeply nested loops, yield a value from the inner most loop, then continue right where it left off when resumed. When it yields, the caller who resumed it can receive yielded values.
In your case, convert eachGrandChild into a generator function which yields grandchildren.
function eachGrandChild(root)
  for _,child in pairs(root) do
    for index,grandChild in pairs(child) do
      coroutine.yield(index, grandChild)
    end
  end
end

Then use coroutine.wrap to create a function that will create a coroutine for your generator and resume it each time the function is called.
function grandChildren(t)
    return coroutine.wrap(function() eachGrandChild(t) end)
end

Now you have your iterator:
for key, val in grandChildren(root) do
    print(key, val)
end

There's a chapter on this in Programming in Lua.

A: I agree with Mud that coroutines are the best approach to the problem.
For the record, I have written an iterator without coroutines for the sake of comparison.
The first function eachGrandChild is called for each element. It uses a state variable, the containing the two indices (the top and second level).
function eachGrandChild(state)
  while state.childIndex ~= nil do
    local child           = root[state.childIndex]
    state.grandChildIndex = next(child, state.grandChildIndex)
    if state.grandChildIndex == nil then
      state.childIndex = next(root, state.childIndex)
    else
      return state.grandChildIndex, child[state.grandChildIndex]
    end
  end
end

The iterator is initialized with the helper function:
function grandChildren(root)
  return eachGrandChild, {childIndex = next(root)}
end

Now the iterator can be used normally:
for key, val in grandChildren(root) do
    print(key, val)
end

Compared to the coroutine based version, eachGrandChild has more lines of code and is more difficult to read.

Simone Bell has become the first Black lesbian elected to a state legislature in the United States after winning her race in Georgia, defeating attorney Asha Jackson, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Bell, who was one of at least 12 out candidates seeking office in the metro area of Atlanta, was endorsed by several organizations, including the gay-rights groups Georgia Equality and the Victory Fund, ProjectQAtlanta.com reported.
On her Web site, Bell stated, "THANK YOU!!! I look forward to representing the people of Georgia State House District 58 in the 2010 legislative session." District 58 straddles Moreland Avenue in Atlanta and includes parts of Fulton and DeKalb that are in Atlanta, plus sections of unincorporated DeKalb County to the east. According to ProjectQAtlanta.com, the district is heavily gay.
In addition, the Journal-Constitution reported that Alex Wan became the first gay man and Asian-American man elected to Atlanta's city council.
