If you were to capture autumn in a glass, I'm sure this super filling Apple & Cinnamon Pie Smoothie would feature. Full of warm cinnamon spice, nutmeg and mixed spice it's a fantastic start to any autumnal day.
Dessert to start the day is the breakfast of dreams for me. A traditional apple pie after a Sunday roast dinner was always my favourite part of the weekend, followed by a long nap afterwards. In fact, I think apple inspired desserts like a pie or crumble are my favourite treat in the autumn. They remind me of cosy, comforting and happy memories. Of course, they always have to be topped with a creamy vanilla custard.
In this smoothie recipe, I've tried to recreate an apple pie which for me is synonymous with autumn. Plus, apples are in season at the moment and taste their absolute best. I used ingredients that I would naturally have in the kitchen at this time of year: cinnamon, maple syrup, porridge oats are all autumn staples in my house.
Not only does the addition of the porridge oats make this smoothie filling, but the protein provided from the goat's yogurt by St Helen's Farm makes it very satisfying for breakfast. I'm not a big user of protein powder anymore, so always fill my smoothies with alternative protein sources like dairy, nuts, nut butter and seeds. Goat's yogurt works really in this instance and helps to give the smoothie a nutritional boost.

Yum, I love the sound of this Apple & Cinnamon Pie Smoothie. Nothing better than apples and spice in the autumn. Would this work with dairy alternatives? I am a vegan.
Now this sounds like my perfect smoothie – such delicious flavours and perfect for Autumn!
I never seen this brand but you sure made my favorite smoothie . I love apple pie and will adore this recipe!
My youngest son will love this smoothie! Putting the ingredients on my shopping list!
THis looks so tasty and flavourful. I love that you've used goat's milk for a protein boost.
I love goat cheese, but don't think I've ever tried goats milk and I know I haven't tried the yogurt. I need to find that! I'm sure I'll love it AND this smoothie! Perfect for fall!
This sounds lovey. I make something similar but never with goats products. They might make a interesting change.
What a super way to get a nutritious, filling breakfast into you on the go! I've never tried their goats milk before, but I have used their butter.
This sounds really nice. Could you use regular milk/yoghurt?
Oh my gosh, apple pie smoothie sounds like heaven! Such a delicious autumnal treat. YUM!

2017 Subd. 2 Amended 2017 c 6 art 3 s 3
144.562 SWING BED APPROVAL; ISSUANCE OF LICENSE CONDITIONS.
Subdivision 1.Definition.
For the purposes of this section, "swing bed" means a hospital bed licensed under sections 144.50 to 144.56 that has been granted a license condition under this section and which has been certified to participate in the federal Medicare program under United States Code, title 42, section 1395 (tt).
Subd. 2.Eligibility for license condition.
(a) A hospital is not eligible to receive a license condition for swing beds unless (1) it either has a licensed bed capacity of less than 50 beds defined in the federal Medicare regulations, Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, section 482.66, or it has a licensed bed capacity of 50 beds or more and has swing beds that were approved for Medicare reimbursement before May 1, 1985, or it has a licensed bed capacity of less than 65 beds and the available nursing homes within 50 miles have had, in the aggregate, an average occupancy rate of 96 percent or higher in the most recent two years as documented on the statistical reports to the Department of Health; and (2) it is located in a rural area as defined in the federal Medicare regulations, Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, section 482.66.
(b) Except for those critical access hospitals established under section 144.1483, clause (9), and section 1820 of the federal Social Security Act, United States Code, title 42, section 1395i-4, that have an attached nursing home or that owned a nursing home located in the same municipality as of May 1, 2005, eligible hospitals are allowed a total of 2,000 days of swing bed use per year. Critical access hospitals that have an attached nursing home or that owned a nursing home located in the same municipality as of May 1, 2005, are allowed swing bed use as provided in federal law.
(c) Except for critical access hospitals that have an attached nursing home or that owned a nursing home located in the same municipality as of May 1, 2005, the commissioner of health may approve swing bed use beyond 2,000 days as long as there are no Medicare certified skilled nursing facility beds available within 25 miles of that hospital that are willing to admit the patient. Critical access hospitals exceeding 2,000 swing bed days must maintain documentation that they have contacted skilled nursing facilities within 25 miles to determine if any skilled nursing facility beds are available that are willing to admit the patient.
(d) After reaching 2,000 days of swing bed use in a year, an eligible hospital to which this limit applies may admit six additional patients to swing beds each year without seeking approval from the commissioner or being in violation of this subdivision. These six swing bed admissions are exempt from the limit of 2,000 annual swing bed days for hospitals subject to this limit.
(e) A health care system that is in full compliance with this subdivision may allocate its total limit of swing bed days among the hospitals within the system, provided that no hospital in the system without an attached nursing home may exceed 2,000 swing bed days per year.
Subd. 3.Approval of license condition.
The commissioner of health shall approve a license condition for swing beds if the hospital meets all of the criteria of this subdivision:
(a) The hospital must meet the eligibility criteria in subdivision 2.
(b) The hospital must be in compliance with the Medicare conditions of participation for swing beds under Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, section 482.66.
(c) The hospital must agree, in writing, to limit the length of stay of a patient receiving services in a swing bed to not more than 40 days, or the duration of Medicare eligibility, unless the commissioner of health approves a greater length of stay in an emergency situation. To determine whether an emergency situation exists, the commissioner shall require the hospital to provide documentation that continued services in the swing bed are required by the patient; that no skilled nursing facility beds are available within 25 miles from the patient's home, or in some more remote facility of the resident's choice, that can provide the appropriate level of services required by the patient; and that other alternative services are not available to meet the needs of the patient. If the commissioner approves a greater length of stay, the hospital shall develop a plan providing for the discharge of the patient upon the availability of a nursing home bed or other services that meet the needs of the patient. Permission to extend a patient's length of stay must be requested by the hospital at least ten days prior to the end of the maximum length of stay.
(d) The hospital must agree, in writing, to limit admission to a swing bed only to (1) patients who have been hospitalized and not yet discharged from the facility, or (2) patients who are transferred directly from an acute care hospital.
(e) The hospital must agree, in writing, to report to the commissioner of health by December 1, 1985, and annually thereafter, in a manner required by the commissioner (1) the number of patients readmitted to a swing bed within 60 days of a patient's discharge from the facility, (2) the hospital's charges for care in a swing bed during the reporting period with a description of the care provided for the rate charged, and (3) the number of beds used by the hospital for transitional care and similar subacute inpatient care.
(f) The hospital must agree, in writing, to report statistical data on the utilization of the swing beds on forms supplied by the commissioner. The data must include the number of swing beds, the number of admissions to and discharges from swing beds, Medicare reimbursed patient days, total patient days, and other information required by the commissioner to assess the utilization of swing beds.
Subd. 4.Issuance of license condition; renewals.
The commissioner of health shall issue a license condition to a hospital that complies with subdivisions 2 and 3. The license condition must be granted when the license is first issued, when it is renewed, or during the hospital's licensure year. The condition is valid for the hospital's licensure year. The license condition can be renewed at the time of the hospital's license renewal if the hospital complies with subdivisions 2 and 3.
Subd. 5.Inspections.
Notwithstanding section 144.55, subdivision 4, the commissioner of health may conduct inspections of a hospital granted a condition under this section to assess compliance with this section.
Notwithstanding section 144.55, subdivision 4, if the hospital fails to comply with subdivision 2 or 3, the commissioner of health shall issue a correction order and penalty assessment under section 144.653 or may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew the license condition under section 144.55, subdivision 6. The penalty assessment for a violation of subdivision 2 or 3 is $500.

PC revenue has seen a gradual increase since first popping up in 1982, and landed at $35 billion in 2018 according to Smithers' numbers. The same can't be said for the handheld game market, which was seen its small share of yearly revenue decrease to only a sliver in recent years. In 2018, handhelds claimed only a 1 percent share, roughly $2 billion, of overall game industry revenue, down from a 24 percent, $16 billion peak in 2007. All of this is recorded in the graph below, though the version in the full Bloomberg story is interactive and offers some additional insight on each year's breakdown.
As pointed out by a user on ResetEra, the chart offers a look at when different sections of the industry peaked in terms of both revenue and overall market share. For instance, consoles claimed 40 percent of yearly revenue in both 1976 and 2000, while PC revenue has claimed 29 percent in its best years (1995, 2014, and 2015). Just in terms of revenue, consoles, PCs, and mobile hit new records in 2018 ($27 billion, $25 billion, and $67 billion respectively) while arcades hit their peak in 1982 with $27 billion and handhelds, as mentioned before, hit $16 billion in 2007.
Mobile, of course, has grown considerably in just the last few years and, according to Smithers' numbers, was responsible for 48 percent of all game revenue in 2018. However, the analyst predicts that mobile will bring about a decrease in overall game revenue in 2019 and 2022, a fall he says is partially the result of China's stricter game approval process and a coming Fortnite decline, and partially due to the console side of the industry struggling to follow up a record 2018.


Can your company logo make your company look big?
Every day I see at least one project where the client says they want the logo to make their company look big. While this is an interesting notion and nothing wrong with the thought process behind it, I find it difficult to deliver on that promise from a designer perspective.
When clients cite big brands as examples and want a logo that would make them look as big, I try to enter into a dialogue with the client and try and analyze that requirement. Yes, granted a company logo can at times make a company look bigger than it really is. Yes, a skilled logo design team can create a design that looks polished and high quality that in turns makes the company look big. But the fact of the matter is that, a company logo design alone can not enhance the image of a company.
The company logo along with other points of interaction make for an impression that is either big or small. Points of interaction could be things such as the business card design, the website design, marketing materials, decals, sticker, the tone of the company message and even the language used by the person in the company picking up the phone.
So, what can be done to make a company logo enhance the image of a company and make it look big? Now, that is tricky question. Could it be the logo design color, the font, the layout or a combination of all these?
In my opinion, if the logo designer considers the market segment and the target market and tries to design with the flow of the contemporary trends while still trying to make the identity stand out, it definitely could be considered as heading in the right direction. However, simply looking at the major brands and their logos in that market segment and trying to emulate them would not be the answer. In fact I would recommend against looking at the big brands for references. Instead I would recommend looking at the visual clues of the entire market segment as viewed by the target market.
So to go back to the question of weather your company logo can make your company look big, I must admit it is not a straight forward answer. At the risk of alienating some of our customers or potential customers, I must say that trying to design a logo that would make a company look big would lead to failure in most situations. Approaching the design with the target market in mind would be a better solution. If the message can be distilled down and conveyed effectively in the logo design then I would say that looking big would come naturally as a by product.

Q: Why gimp 2.8 slow on ubuntu 12.04? I am running ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on 4-core cpu and what i am facing is that when i open a .psd file or a heavy .xcf/.psd file my gimp sends me a "force quit" message. I am using gimp for professional image editing so please tell me what i should do.
Thanks
screenshot1-usage 2.2gb of memory by gimp
screenshot2-the time i closed gimp-4th core 90% and drops to 15%

A: Looks simply like you're running out of memory… :(
Once SWAP gets heavily used, the response time of your computer goes up a 1000-fold.
Try this: Open the file, go make coffee (not just take, but fully make) and come back after 10 minutes or so.
If the file opens, but everything is really slow (like a click-and-drag takes a full minute), just buy more RAM…

2010 Château de Sancerre
Retail price: approximately $25
Available at Madwine
French Wines: Le Sacré du Printemps
Parisian society in 1913 got an unexpected taste of pagan ritual during the premiere of Stravinsky's adventurous musical accompaniment to Les Ballets Russes. Historical accounts of The Rite of Spring credited highly original rhythmic structures and previously unheard tonal dissonance for what appeared to drive the audience into a form of collective chaos, as the performance allegedly ended with fistfights in the aisles. The fusing of primitive and modern rendered the piece an instant icon.
The idea of picking a French wine that expresses the type of dramatic seasonal rite implied in a true spring awakening intrigues me. To my taste, a classic Sancerre provides an excellent salute to spring, as it suggests an eternal freshness. A good Sancerre overflows with feisty flavors and enough rhythmic frenzy to wake up the senses and break through the drowsiness of a long winter's nap.
The 2010 Château de Sancerre presents the telltale qualities we expect from the upper Loire, from the flinty, smoky nuances to the distinctive grapefruit and freshly cut grassiness that brings out the "sauvage" in sauvignon blanc. To further enhance the classic Sancerre style, the wine is matured on the lees (an organic by-product of fermentation) for several months and regularly agitated to give it more body and forcefulness. The resulting wine is assertive, full and edgy.
By French law, Sancerre is 100 percent sauvignon blanc. The old-world/new-world comparison is crystal clear when pitting Sancerre against a Marlborough sauvignon blanc from New Zealand. Where the new-world expression of sauvignon blanc excels at a pure exotic fruitiness, the old world Sancerre celebrates a complexity of minerals and limestone soil characteristics. The two expressions provide dramatic bookends to the spectrum of not only the grape itself but of old- and new-world styles of winemaking.
The 2010 Château de Sancerre recalls the timelessness of Le Sacré du Printemps. It reminds us that each spring even our most ancient vineyards bring forth new life. Although Sancerre can and ought to be enjoyed in any season, it best exemplifies the sensory drama of spring.
Enjoy it with chèvre, oysters, fruits de mer, omelettes aux fines herbes and, occasionally, a bit of Stravinsky.

Q: Sildeshow don't fade on hover when same image I have a JQuery slideshow on this webpage http://www.2eenheid.de/cloud/.

*

*The page 'Cloud' has its own background image.

*Hovering on other menu items changes this bg img with a fadeIn and Out

*But it also happens when hovering on the 'Cloud' menu item. That makes it look messy. It just fades back and forth to the same image. How to remove this in my code? Make it do nothing when the bg img is already the same img.

JQUERY
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
            var imgsrc = '';
            var newImg = '';
            imgsrc = $('.pikachoose').css('background-image');

            $('ul.slideshow-menu').find('a').hover(function () {
                newImg = $(this).attr('src');
                if (imgsrc === newImg) { return; }

                $('.pikachoose').stop().fadeOut('fast', function () {
                    $(this).css({
                        'background-image': 'url(' + newImg + ')'
                    }).fadeTo('slow', 1);
                });

            }, function () {

                $('.pikachoose').stop().fadeOut('fast', function () {
                    $(this).css({
                        'background-image': imgsrc
                    }).fadeTo('slow', 1);
                });
            });

        });
    </script>

A: When you do imgsrc = $('.pikachoose').css('background-image');, then imgsrc contains the string
url(http://example.com/image.jpg) and not
http://example.com/image.jpg
Where as newImg contains http://example.com/image.jpg So the comparison fails.
Try converting imgsrc into a proper URL, like this :
new_imgsrc=imgsrc.replace(/url\(("|'|)|("|'|)\)/g,'');

and then try the if
if (newImg === new_imgsrc){
    //do something
}

Robocop's Peter Weller - On The Fringe
In White Tulip, a second season episode of the Fox TV series Fringe, passengers aboard a commuter train appear to have died a still death. It seems that a switch was flipped because all cell phones, mp3 players, laptops, batteries and bodies have been drained of power. As the Fringe team assembles at the bizarre crime scene, Peter (Joshua Jackson) remains suspicious that something is amiss with Walter (John Noble), who is struggling to keep the unimaginable a secret. When the investigation leads them to Alistair Peck (guest-star Peter Weller, RoboCop, Odyssey 5, 24), a very powerful man who has tremendous energy with severe consequences, an ironic set of circumstances surface.
Prior to the airing of this episode last week on Fox, guest-star Peter Weller graciously spent part of his day speaking with myself as well as fellow journalists on a conference call. The following is an edited version of that Q & A. Enjoy!
How did this opportunity on Fringe come about for you?
PETER WELLER - They [the show's producers] called my agents and said, "We'd really like him [Peter] to do it." I'd seen a little bit of the show, but I've been finishing a PhD at UCLA, so I don't get a lot of time to watch primetime television. However, I had seen a bit of the show and my wife is a big fan of it, so I asked her, "We got this offer, what do you think?' I have to tell you that, honestly, I'm very discerning about primetime television and guest-star spots. A lot of it is entertaining, but sort of hamstring stuff. Fringe, however, is unique. It's the best that Science Fiction can be. It's fantastic and entertaining, but at the same time it has a humanist theme to it of people, places, things and relationships. So my wife said, "I think it's brilliant." I said, "Really? OK." So I read the script and it was brilliant, so I said, "I'm in."
What can you tell us about the character you're playing?
PW - He's a guy who's going back in time and making some serious sacrifices in terms of other peoples' livelihood and well-being. And it's all in order to save his wife from dying in a ridiculous moment, a mistake that he made. So he's trying to find redemption and go back to the only person who really means anything to him. It's just tremendously romantic and very moving; that alone was enough to make me want to jump on it.
What were some of the challenges you found with this role?
PW - First of all, there were scenes that were four pages of explanation and dialogue, but they were really well-written. They weren't just expository, but dramatic scenes to justify love, need and family. Those were a challenge to make come alive. The story is predicated on losing the person you love. I come from the method [acting]. I come from [teachers like] Elia Kazan and Uta Hagen, and you've got to plug your personal life into that stuff, and it's upsetting stuff. So you have to sort of imagine what it would be like if I was a guy who lost his wife or fiance, and that's hard stuff to tap into. At 60 years old, you want to kind of sit by the sea, which I'm doing now, smoke a cigar, have a cappuccino and not take a look at those possible horrors. So again that's the biggest challenge, how to access the sorrow of losing the dearest person to you in the world.
What was it like to kind of delve into that type of story?
PW - Well, it's entertaining. HG Wells was maybe the first to do it. The thing about Science Fiction is that it's sort of like an autobiography of the world. If you can follow me with that - it's like if you read history. I'm finishing this history piece at UCLA, and it's like if you have a linear sort of record of the great events in the world. And then you have intersecting it, vertically or thematically, Science Fiction; the what-ifs, the what if we did this, the whole thing outside our sort of linear experience. That's the great gift of Science Fiction. So it's fun. What can I tell you? If you have any kind of inventive mind at all, you go racing with it. I just think it was great. I don't understand science that much. I'm not a scientist and I'm not really good at mathematics, but Science Fiction is just an extraordinarily imaginative trope.
You just mentioned what Science Fiction is like; what's your view of Fringe's science?
PW - The reason why I love Fringe, and not just because I was on it, is that it goes past the surface adventure of science and sort of plumbs the responsibility and accountability of Science Fiction. Where the human being goes with it, what he has to suffer and what joy and also misery that he pulls out of messing with, if you will, fate or destiny as the Greeks say, or choice or the order of the natural world. That's what Fringe does. It takes you a little bit deeper, and as a matter of fact, in my opinion, a lot deeper than the usual Science Fiction program. It's all entertainment, but Fringe has an inquiry into what it means to be human along with this, and that's what really turns me on to this show.
How does it compare to the [Science Fiction] series you used to be on, Odyssey 5?
PW - It's very similar. That's what turned me on about Odyssey 5, too, is that people are placed back in time except that they have the knowledge of the future. And so they look, they mess with Mother Nature and everything goes askew. As a matter of fact, when I first started to do Fringe, I called up Manny Coto, the creator of Odyssey 5, and he said, "Oh, wow, this sounds like Isaac Asimov." Indeed, the [show's] writers are Asimov fans. So I think it's very close in parallel. Both these shows, particularly [the Fringe episode] White Tulip, and Odyssey 5 - or a bunch of episodes of Odyssey 5 - use Science Fiction to leverage the audience into an inquiry about being humanly accountable as far as relationships go with other human beings. Are you a person of peace or are you one of greed and aggression? These are great inquiries to me, and I really appreciate you bringing up the analogy between Fringe and Odyssey 5 because that's the very thing that turned me on about White Tulip.
Speaking of time travel, if you were able to go back in time to either warn yourself about something or even relive an experience in a better way, is there someplace that you think you'd like to go?
PW - Yes, there are a couple of places I would like to go, but I don't know if I'd redo anything. I've been very blessed, but there are a couple of relationships that I made youthful mistakes about and they were very egotistical and sort of self-absorbed mistakes. Just like the guy in White Tulip; he gets into an argument with his fiance, just a small argument, and therein death happens. So I'd go back and sort of make a few amends with some people who are no longer on this Earth. That's all I think I would do.
If I just really could time travel, though, there are a few people, including a couple of Renaissance artists and an emperor or two who I'd like to shake hands with. I'd certainly like to go back and step on the Island of Elba and talk to Napoleon for a second, or go back to talk with Frederick II, who was a great emperor in the 1200's who gave Jews and Muslims a whole lot of civil freedom and spoke Arabic and Hebrew and was a vegetarian and a poet. So those are two people I'd specifically like to meet, but, again, as far as my own life, there are two or three people who I regret mishandling and I'd like to go back and sort of straighten that out.
Don't you kind it remarkable that what is Science Fiction one day can very likely be Science Fact the very next day?
PW - I think you're absolutely right. I did this wonderful movie with a bad title called Screamers based on a Philip Dick short story called The Second Variety. And Dick's whole theme was that kind of Zen thing where if you invest your consciousness into building a robot or an automaton, it will eventually have a conscience because you put your soul in it. So I think guys like him and HG Wells are rolling in their graves about what's going on now with, for example, world communications and the possibility of space travel. And who knows, it might be like Albert Einstein thought; a general theory of physics may allow us to cross into another dimension at some point. The whole parapsychology thing that I thought was goofy when I was a kid, now looks more and more real to me and I can understand why places like Duke study it. So yes, it's astounding.
What was it like working with the cast of Fringe?
PW - Fantastic! One of the most fabulous crews who are on the ball, and the cast is egoless, which is sometimes and many times not the case. I've been in the movie business for I don't know how many years, and I'm sure when I was a young man I occasionally threw my own little hissy fits. But after a while, you just want to get the work done, particularly if it's a great part in a great show. You just want to really get the best work out there and the way to do that is for everyone to put their ego on hold and, while a movie set is not a democracy, it's essentially an oligrarchy. There's somebody in charge and somebody else in charge. If everyone is receptive to ideas, then you really get something done. And the Fringe set - and again, I'm not just saying this because I was on the show - has this fantastic egalitarian accessibility of everyone on it. It's magic. That show is a gift of creation and a wonderful place to create. The writers were available to me on the phone, the directors were available to me night and day, the crew was unbelievably helpful, and the cast was nothing but gems. I just had an absolute ball.
Is there a chance that you will come back and direct an episode of Fringe and put Fred Weller in it as well.
PW - I put Fred Weller and Graham Beckel in everything I direct. I'm going to pound Fringe to direct an episode for them. I'm actually cranking up a film to direct, but I'd love to direct for them and, if so, yes, I've got to get Fred Weller and Graham Beckel in it because they're gifted. I don't know if you know who Graham Beckel is, but he's been in every movie I've ever made, and Tommy Lee Jones once said that Graham is probably one of the two or three most inventive film actors walking on planet Earth.
You said you were cranking up to direct a new film; can you tell us a little bit about it.
PW - It's called The Meaning of Nowhere and it's about a very, very bad girl who kills three people. She's a low-level heist operator who kills three people in the first five minutes of the film and, by destiny, she ends up in a life that's actually sort of nice. It's not about somebody trying to go good because she doesn't want to go good. It's just that the current takes her on down the stream and she ends up in a fairly nice little sort of Brigadoon paradise and then doesn't want to let it go. It's actually a thriller, and one that's about whether you are fated to be one thing or whether you can choose to be another.
We're all desperately awaiting the return of RoboCop and rooting for Darren Aronofsky's vision. Have you heard anything about the status of the film and what do you think about bringing back this wonderful character?
PW - You know, I wish Darren well. He's a gifted director. I was happy to do it [the original RoboCop] and happy to leave it. It's like Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis; they were happy to get together and happy to part because they went their own ways. I left RoboCop to do Naked Lunch, and I was very grateful for everything that RoboCop brought me, particularly a large listing amongst young people in regards to education and making some sort of contribution to education or difference to education because young kids will listen to me because of that film. But I think the [new] movie will probably be good.
Can you tell us a little bit about your experiences working with Jeffrey Hunt, the director of "White Tulip," and what that was like for you?
PW - It was his first directing gig on the show. He's one of the DOPs [director of photography] and he was absolutely fabulous. He had a structure and within that structure, John [Noble] and I, because most of my scenes were with John, got to invent, and John is a very inventive actor. He is a workhorse. John has been around the block, man. He's done theater and everything else, so it's not like the director was working with a couple of newbies. John is so in-tune to a physical space and movement within a room and so forth, and one of the things that I'm good at is physically inventing a room. Some people say I'm prop heavy, but I don't call those things props, I call them physical life. The director really gave me a lot of leeway to work with stuff. He was great; it was as if he'd been directing all his life.
What would you say makes a career in this industry rewarding for you so far?
PW - You know, you can say it's the perks. Tony Curtis said, "There's nothing like the perks of the movie business." Look, I got burned out on acting about four years into acting onstage. I was just chasing one job to the next. Then I had sort of a life change, and hopefully everyone has a life change. You've got to have more than one, too. You've got to have these epiphanies about every 10 years. I realized that what it was about, and this sounds very simplistic. As a matter of fact, it sounds vacuous. It's like [the feature film] Alien; this thing is right on your face and you can't see it. It occurred to me in a major epiphany that what I was about was communicating, and if I can communicate a particular experience that either assists, enlightens or makes some kind of difference in a fictional world to those who are watching, then that's what I can do.
The fallout of that is that, as Robert Mitchum said, "Having celebrity can call attention to your favorite charity or getting a nice seat in a restaurant." That's about it. Insomuch as I got a little notoriety, I can bring some attention to my particular issues, which are essentially pre-school and early school elementary education.
It's also given me the gift of travel, and travel is educational as well as brings the world together. You find out about somebody else's culture, and then you don't feel so isolated and alien about your own. As a result, you're a little bit more available to understand somebody else's position. Anything that can help somebody break bread instead of picking up a gun with somebody else is worthwhile.
And that's what acting is, really. I don't want to get high and mighty about it, but it's really given me an access to the world. And subsequently in communicating a particular experience, like in White Tulip, which is about love. That's all it is; the whole episode is about love and the desire for love and the loss of people who you love. If I can communicate that, then I get re-infused with it, and I can go out and be nicer to the person next to me. Moses, Jesus, Buddha and every other avatar on planet Earth said, "Handle what's in front of you with kindness and then the world will handle itself." That works by the way, you know?

24: Day Eight Will Be The Award-Winning Series' Swan Song

IN a joint decision made by 24's star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland, executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon, Twentieth Century Fox Television, Imagine Entertainment and Fox Broadcasting Company, it was determined that the acclaimed series will end its remarkable eight-season run. Jack Bauer's last day on Fox will conclude when the final two hours of "Day Eight" air Monday, May 24th from 8:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. EST/PST. As the countdown to the series' climactic conclusion races on, the final 11 hours will air uninterrupted Mondays @ 9:00 p.m. EST/PST on Fox.
Multiple award-winning series star Kiefer Sutherland reflected on the show's run, "This has been the role of a lifetime, and I will never be able to fully express my appreciation to everyone who made it possible. While the end of the series is bittersweet, we always wanted 24 to finish on a high note, so the decision to make the eighth season our last was one we all agreed upon. This feels like the culmination of all our efforts from the writers to the actors to our fantastic crew and everyone at Fox. Looking ahead to the future, Howard Gordon and I are excited about the opportunity to create the feature film version of 24. But when all is said and done, it is the loyal worldwide fan base that made it possible for me to have the experience of playing the role of Jack Bauer, and for that I am eternally grateful."
Executive producer and showrunner Howard Gordon said, "Kiefer and I have loved ever minute of making 24, but we al believe that now is the right time to call it a day. I echo his sentiments of gratitude towards the show's amazing creative team, as well as the studio and network who have always believed in us and shown us unbelievable support."
"24 is so much more than just a TV show - it has redefined the drama genre and created one of the most admired action icons in television history," said Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group. Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company added, "We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series and will be forever thankful to Kiefer, the producers, the cast and crew for everything they've put into 24 over the years. It's truly been an amazing and unforgettable eight days."
Commented Gary Newman and Dana Walden, Chairman, Twentieth Century Fox Television, "We are so grateful to Kiefer and Howard, who have really poured their hearts and souls into making this show over the past eight seasons. To everyone who contributed to this iconic series over its amazing run, we want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for your incredible work."
Added Imagine Entertainment's Brian Grazer, "I'm so proud to have been a part of 24, which has become such a cultural phenomenon. And to Kiefer and Howard and everyone who has worked on the show, many thanks."
Now in its eighth season with Kiefer Sutherland starred as the heroic Jack Bauer, the inventive and suspenseful 24 has been nominated for a total of 68 Emmy Awards, winning for Outstanding Drama Series in 2006. Over the course of seven seasons, Sutherland garnered seven Emmy nominations and one win for Outstanding Lead Actor - Drama Series. While the series gained global recognition, Sutherland's portrayal of the legendary character penetrated the American psyche like no other dramatic television character to become part of the English lexicon.
Premiering November 6th, 2001, 24 employed a pioneering split-screen, fast-paced format with complex interweaving storylines as viewers followed anti-terrorism agent Jack Bauer through 24 pulse-pounding episodes, each covering one hour and presented in real time. Subsequent seasons combined the show's unique and trend-setting format while delivering compelling new elements and attracting talented actors and guest-stars including the Emmy Award-winning Cherry Jones (President Allison Taylor). The series also currently stars Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe O'Brian), Anil Kapoor (Omar Hassan), Annie Wersching (Renee Walker), Katee Sackhoff (Dana Walsh), Mykelti Williamson (Brian Hastings), Freddie Prinze Jr. (Cole Ortiz), Chris Diamantopoulos (Rob Weiss) and John Boyd (Arlo Glass).
The first six seasons were set in Los Angeles, and following the strike-induced delay of season seven, 24; Redemption, a two-hour film bridging seasons six and seven, was set in Africa. The nation's capital, Washington D.C. was the setting for season seven, and the final year of 24 finds Jack Bauer thwarting a terrorist attack in New York. At the conclusion of season eight, 24 will have produced a total of 194 episodes (including 24: Redemption), making it one of the longest-running action television shows in history.
Tune in Monday, March 29th @ 9:00 p.m. EST/PST for the next all-new installment of 24 and Monday, April 5th @ 9:00 p.m. EST/PST for a special two-hour episode.
Created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, 24 is a production of 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television in association with Teakwood Lane Productions. Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, David Fury, Manny Coto, Brannon Braga, Brad Turner, Alex Gansa, Kiefer Sutherland and Brian Grazer and executive producers, while Chip Johannessen and Patrick Harbinson serve as co-executive producers. Brad Turner will direct the series finale.

THE NATIONAL: NEW AUSTRALIAN ART 2017
THE UNSETTLING – ATLANTA EKE AND GHENOA GELA
With RDYSTDY (Hana Miller and Jacob Perkins), Ghost Bird and Sezzo Snot
The Unsettling is a cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration between Melbourne-based choreographer Atlanta Eke and Sydney-based choreographer Ghenoa Gela, which draws on the niche genre of Horrorcore Hip Hop to explore the invisible violence of the colonial present. In looking at the question of whether a white Australian artist (Eke) and a Torres Strait Islander artist (Gela) can work outside the processes of appropriation and assimilation to co-author a new work, the artists have merged the cinematic with the choreographic, creating a supernatural horror film which acts as a trailer to a live performance that will take place in Track 8 at Carriageworks on Sunday 25 June 2017.
The performative element of The Unsettling comprises two live solo performances, separated spatially but presented simultaneously, as they meet on screen. Samples of pre-recorded video material with live-feed video of each performance is combined and looped together with live musical accompaniment – a supernatural horror film made in real time before the audience. It proposes a fiction set in reality; an analysis of how fictions function philosophically and politically as an invention and/or as a temporal or spatial augmentation of the present.
ABOUT THE NATIONAL: NEW AUSTRALIAN ART 2017
A major exhibition partnership between three of Sydney's premier cultural institutions, The National: New Australian Art is a six-year initiative presenting the latest ideas and forms in contemporary Australian art over three editions in 2017, 2019 and 2021.

'They will never leave any of us alone': Lara Trump whines about her brother-in-law being called to testify
Donald Trump Jr. has finally reached an agreement with the Senate Intelligence Committee to testify about the veracity of the answers he previously gave lawmakers under oath. He has faced scrutiny after evidence provided by President Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, contradicted his sworn testimony that he had only minimal involvement in the canceled plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow.
But as far as his sister-in-law Lara Trump is concerned, none of this is fair for Congress to be investigating.
"Unfortunately, no matter what we do as a family — our family, the administration, the campaign has complied with everything up to this point," said Lara, who is also a senior adviser to the Trump campaign. "Don, I think, has testified over 30 hours now. He's going back because he wants to do the right thing and he wants to make sure everyone knows he's doing the right thing. And it's sad, because no matter what any of us do, they will never leave any of us alone and there will never be any off limits, like in the past, or going over the line when it comes to our family."
"Listen, he has always told the truth," said Lara. "He'll go back in, he'll tell the truth again. I'm sure we will hear from him and it'll be no big news because we have all heard we didn't include with Russia, the president didn't include collude with Russia."

Our research line
Fotoswitchable catalysts
for hydrogen generation
Azobenzene-containing
The long-term goal of the research line that we pursue is the development of light-tunable organometallic compounds, for a wide range of applications, being catalysis the main focuss. After some initial explorative years, we have a set of synthetic tools to readily incorporate azobenzene derivatives in a wide range of compounds, and we are expanding them to the synthesis of DTE-based photoswitches. Along these years we have synthesized more than 60 new azobenzene-appended organometallic complexes, and studied them for several applications: iridium(III) triscyclometalated for phosphors in OLEDs, ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) half-sandwich complexes to be used as photoswitchable catalysts, or ruthenium(II) compounds as metalodrugs for cancer therapy are the first examples we worked on. Our current challenge is the development of a new generation of compounds displaying photo-induced chirality. Expanding the range of compounds, and applications together with gaining a better understanding and control of their interaction with light is our daily task that should bring us through a path of amazing discoveries.
RESEARCH BACKGROUND (Z. Freixa)
After obtaining the Bachelor in Chemistry by the Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB) in 1994 Z. Freixa enrolled as PhD student at the group of Prof. J.C. Bayón. Within that period she spent 18 months at the University of Coimbra as contracted researcher, obtaining the PhD in Chemistry by the UAB in 2000. Afterwards, she moved to the University of Amsterdam where she spent 3 years as a postdoctoral researcher at the group of Prof. van Leeuwen (2001–2003). In 2004 she returned to Spain, joining the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ) as Ramón y Cajal fellow and Group Manager of Prof. van Leeuwen's group. During that period (2004–2009) she co-supervised all the research projects of the group (both academic and industrial). The main focus was on Supramolecular Catalysis. After a short period as Lecturer at the University of Barcelona, in 2010, ahe accepted the position she is currently holding as Ikerbasque Research Professor at the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU).
Since she started her independent career, and always looking for new challenges in research, she drove her interest toward the development of photo-switchable organometallic complexes. The use of that stimuli-responsive entities in catalysis, to create photo-switchable catalysts is one of the most promising possibilities, but those unique compounds can also encounter many other fascinating applications. In our group we explore several of them, such as their use as phosphors for photoswitchable OLEDs, as sensors, as photo-sensitizers for solar cells, or as (photo-activatable)metalodrugs. The most relevant achievements in the different areas explored are:
Homogeneous catalysis: Together with Prof. van Leeuwen, we developed a unique ligand, SPANphos, which has been considered the first truly trans-spanning diphosphine ligand. Some of its organometallic complexes presented unique properties, as for instance extraordinary activity in methanol carbonylation processes (ACIE2003, ACIE 2005, OM 2005). More rencently, we have also unravelled the mechanism operating in metal-catalyzed processes for the hydrogen generation by hydrolysis of amineborane adducts (ACS Cat. 2017) and imine hydrosilylation (Catal. Sci & Tech 2018), using half-sandwich ruthenium and iridium complexes.
Supramolecular catalysis:Together with Prof. van Leeuwen we developed bifunctional ligands which permitted us to create large libraries of supramolecularly-build ligands, very effective in both nonenantioselective and asymmetric catalytic processes (ACIE 2007, JACS 2011). We also established, for the first time, the possibility to use ionic interactions as driving force for the construction of supramolecular catalysts (Chem. Eur. J. 2007, patent WO 2008031889 for BASF).
Photoswitchable catalysis:Very recently, we developed the first example of a photo-tunable catalyst for the generation of hydrogen by hydrolysis of amino-borane adducts (Eur.JIC 2010, Dalton 2017). Concerning the other areas of applications of photo-switchable organometallics, their potential use as metalodrugs or as photo-tunable phosphors, is currently being under study in collaboration with several specialized groups.

Edges are awkward things. All I can recommend is always spray them first on every coat. Minimal gentle sanding is your best friend as you will go through to the base substrate super quick compared to other areas. This rule applies for any paints or coatings you use. I cant recommend any specific paints or products as I don't really spray a lot but I hope this helps a bit.
You may want to round over the edge as it will help keep paint from chipping so easy , Unlike a square or sharp edgeit gives the paint a larger area to stick to.
Squishy, doc1 and SiRoxx like this.

Ed Sheeran Wants to Make a Cameo on HBO Show
Courtesy of mirror.co.uk
Ed Sheeran wants to get his "Game of Thrones" on. After receiving an official Game of Thrones sword from a New Zealand radio station as a belated birthday present, pop superstar Ed Sheeran would like to put that sword to use by making a cameo on HBO's critically acclaimed show. Sheeran claims that he is prepared to "hound" producers of the show in the hopes of making an appearance and putting that sword to use.
The musician has gone on to reveal that he has been approached about appearing on the show several times, but he has always been held back by previous engagements. "Every time they shoot it's the time I tour in the U.K." Sheeran explained. This time though he has his eyes set on the soon to be filmed sixth season, and he will not be denied. "I've got that time off this year, so I'm going to hound them."
If Sheeran is successful and is able to schedule an appearance, this will be his third time making a cameo on a television show. The "Thinking Out Loud" crooner has appeared along Big Bird and his crew in Sesame Street and has gotten a little dramatic on Home and Away, an Australian soap. The musician has been a huge fan of HBO's Game of Thrones for quite some time now. He claimed that the sword, a replica of Jon Snow's, was the best gift he has ever received and giddily claimed that he would be asking the character's actor to sign it for him.
If he is able to organize an appearance on the show, Sheeran will not be the first musician to enter the Game of Thrones saga. It has been rumored that the metal band Anthrax will be hopping into the adventure in the currently airing fifth season. The band is so passionate about the project that they have expressed a desire to record the drums for an upcoming album on the storied set. Coldplay's Will Champion entertained the masses as a drummer during the jaw-dropping "Red Wedding." Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody and Icelandic rockers Sigur Ros have also made a series of cameos on the show. Sigur Ros went on to update "The Rains of Castamere" for the show.
FDRMX Eyes: From London comes the "Queen of Electro," Luciana. The musician along with GloVibes have premiered a music video for her song, "One by One."

What about a callback event after my photos have loaded so IE will fire shadowbox? I'm not sure how to implement that?
I am not familiar with the flickr plugin for jQuery, but your problem is that you are initialising shadowbox before all your images are loaded into the page, so it doesn't find anything relevant to attach a click event to.
If there is an 'oncomplete' type of callback available from the flickr plugin, then use that to run Shadowbox.setup() on a per-element basis as each photo gets loaded into the page (use skipSetup:true in the Shadowbox.init call).
Alternatively, if the flickr plugin has an 'oncomplete' type of callback that runs once all the photos have loaded, then just use that to re-run Shadowbox.setup().
Basically, there's nothing Shadowbox itself can do if it can't find any relevant links on the page at the time that it runs its auto-setup. It then becomes your responsibility to tell it exactly which links it should add to its cache and watch for clicks on.

A letter from William (Bill) Dussling
President, Board of Education
On behalf of the Board of Education, welcome to High School District 214!
As a longtime community member and parent of three Buffalo Grove High School graduates, I am honored to serve again as President of the Board of Education. During 22 years of serving on the Board of Education, I have witnessed the dedication of District 214 educators and their commitment to helping students discover their futures.
I have watched with pride the work of educators whose approach is always evolving because they know that we are preparing students for a dynamic world of work, in which conditions are constantly shifting.
This is why we consult with and seek guidance from community partners to refine and update our Career Pathways programs, through which our students have logged more than 2 million internship hours with 1,000 community partners. In a single year, students completed more than 47,000 early college credit hours.
This commitment to improving the way we prepare students is also why we are - again in collaboration with community partners - expanding apprenticeship opportunities, adding a dimension of paid work for students as part of an already robust array of work-based learning opportunities. These are the ways in which students explore careers, gain a better understanding of the rigor of college and develop soft skills needed to thrive in the workforce.
The Career Pathways program now encompasses nearly 40 Career Pathways built around 16 nationally recognized Career Clusters, giving students the opportunity to explore careers from aviation maintenance to architecture to entrepreneurship to business management and health sciences before high school graduation.
Our educators are intentional in creating these real-world opportunities and have helped change the national dialogue on public education. In fact, our District helped launch Redefining Ready! in partnership with AASA, The School Superintendents Association, to redefine how students are considered college, career and life ready.
Redefining Ready! is a research-based, multi-metric approach to readiness that considers factors like success in advanced placement and dual credit classes; attendance; and participation in co-curricular activities.
Our success in greatly increasing the number of students enrolled in dual credit courses has become a key equity tool and has opened the door for hundreds of District 214 students to prepare for the rigor of postsecondary education while also reducing the cost of their higher education.
On the subject of equity, I am honored to be part of a District that is investing more time and new resources and prioritizing the goal of equity for all students. District 214 is fully committed to and engaged in anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusionary practices and initiatives. This means creating - through ongoing professional development and Districtwide focus - a culture and school climate that supports every student and staff member.
All six of our comprehensive high schools have repeatedly earned recognition as some of the state and nation's best from U.S. News & World Report, and every school has been designated a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education.
We do an extraordinary job of offering extracurricular activities that help prepare students for success in ways beyond even our innovative classrooms and work-based learning experiences. Our superb fine and performing arts and athletic programs are often credited by District 214 graduates with providing opportunities and life lessons that serve them well long after their high school graduation.
In addition, our commitment to and connection with the community we serve is unsurpassed.
The District 214 Education Foundation, which supports innovation, student success and lifelong learning for students, pivoted in the face of COVID-19 and launched 214Cares -- to provide basic needs relief to students and families affected by the pandemic. More than $110,000 has been raised and approximately 400 families have received support for utility bills, rent payments, food and more.
Our community education program is among the largest high school community education programs in the nation, having served the community in a myriad of ways since 1947. It currently offers hundreds of enrichment classes and programs for children and adults throughout the year.
The D214 Adult Education and Family Literacy program includes English as a second language, Illinois High School Equivalency test preparation in English and Spanish, U.S. citizenship preparation, basic reading and math, career pathways programs in manufacturing and health careers, and one-to-one reading tutoring for beginning adult readers. All classes are free.
Our Board of Education is immensely proud of this District and all those who help to ensure we continue our established tradition of excellence. District 214 is a destination district because of our employees, students, parents, business and community partners, alumni and retirees. We welcome you to our District and invite you to see all the ways we prepare students for success.
William (Bill) Dussling

US records 80% increase in student enrolment -Report
The 2022 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange reported an 80 percent increase in international student enrollment in the United States.
The Open Doors Report made available to The PUNCH stated that the report indicated that there was a 12.3 percent increase in the number of Nigerian students studying in the United States in the 2021/2022 school year.
Open Doors 2022, released Monday by the Institute of International Education and the US State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, highlighted the continued competitiveness of the US higher education sector as a destination of choice for international students.
It said: "The 2022 Open Doors Report on International Educational Exchange, released today, shows that new international student enrollments in the United States are up 80 percent, with the number of international students enrolled at U.S. institutions up four percent. This strong rebound and growth confirm that the United States remains the destination of choice for higher education, with more than 948,000 international students.
International students are returning to face-to-face study in the United States, with 90% of all enrolled students attending face-to-face classes. Returning to campuses allows international students to build lifelong relationships with their American peers, increase collaboration across fields and fields of study, and grow America's international partnerships to address current and global challenges.
The new Open Doors Report indicates a 12.3 percent increase in the number of Nigerian students studying in the United States for the 2021/2022 school year. This represents a total of 14,438 Nigerian students, which is 33 percent of all African students studying in the United States.
"This means that Nigeria remains the leading source of African students and the 10th largest country in the world sending international students to the United States."

Formerly known as Motebong Village, Motebong Lodge is now a family business operated by a family that enjoys the serenity and beauty of the Lesotho highlands and we are proud to make it possible for our guests to enjoy the Katse dam area.
Located on the up-stream end of Katse Dam, Motebong Lodge is ideally located for a day trip to the Katse dam wall and Botanical gardens at Bokong as day excursions, while giving access to a number of fishing, boating, horse riding and hiking spots around the lodge.
Motebong lodge is also a destination well suited for high altitude training, company breakaways, film shoots and for the bird watchers on the look-out for the rare and at times extinction threatened mountain species such as the bearded vulture – the lammergeyer.
While offering self-catering units, with our bar and restaurant offering delicious meals and a good range of drinks including our famous fish dish and the Motebong bomb cocktail, we are also an ideal destination for bikers who do not carry supplies.
The Motebong lodge photographer has been a guide to many on the best landscape photography sites in the area – a pleasure for photographers. He has also successfully assisted Giant films as location scout on a film shoot for their February 2016 Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) advert shoot around Katse Dam.
We are also proud hosts of many company break-away and team building sessions.
One of the key values of Motebong lodge owners is developing local skills and creation of employment in the Malibamatso Valley that forms Katse Dam. Motebong is thus committed to recruiting and training staff from Ha Lejone and surrounding villages. To this end, we also endeavor to create a warm working environment which we hope our guests also experience the warmth through the treatment they receive from our staff.

Syslog (RFC3164, RFC5424) is the de facto standard logging protocol since the 1980s and was originally developed as part of the sendmail project. It comes with some annoying shortcomings that we tried to improve in GELF for application logging.
Because syslog has a clear specification in its RFCs it should be possible to parse it relatively easy. Unfortunately there are a lot of devices (especially routers and firewalls) out there that send logs looking like syslog but actually breaking several rules stated in the RFCs. We tried to write a parser that reads all of them as good as possible and failed. Such a loosely defined text message usually breaks the compatibility in the first date field already. Some devices leave out hostnames completely, some use localized time zone names (e. g. "MESZ" instead of "CEST"), and some just omit the current year in the timestamp field.
Then there are devices out there that at least do not claim to send syslog when they don't but have another completely separate log format that needs to be parsed specifically.
We decided not to write custom message inputs and parsers for all those thousands of devices, formats, firmwares and configuration parameters out there but came up with the concept of Extractors introduced the v0.20.0 series of Graylog.
The extractors allow you to instruct Graylog nodes about how to extract data from any text in the received message (no matter from which format or if an already extracted field) to message fields. You may already know why structuring data into fields is important if you are using Graylog: There are a lot of analysis possibilities with full text searches but the real power of log analytics unveils when you can run queries like http_response_code:>=500 AND user_id:9001 to get all internal server errors that were triggered by a specific user.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to search for all blocked packages of a given source IP or to get a quickterms analysis of recently failed SSH login usernames? Hard to do when all you have is just a single long text message.
Graylog extractors only work on text fields but won't be executed for numeric fields or anything other than a string.
You can also choose to apply so called converters on the extracted value to for example convert a string consisting of numbers to an integer or double value (important for range searches later), anonymize IP addresses, lower-/uppercase a string, build a hash value, and much more.
The recommended way of importing extractors in Graylog is using Content packs. The Graylog Marketplace provides access to many content packs that you can easily download and import into your Graylog setup.
You can still import extractors from JSON if you want to. Just copy the JSON extractor export into the import dialog of a message input of the fitting type (every extractor set entry in the directory tells you what type of input to spawn, e. g. syslog, GELF, or Raw/plaintext) and you are good to go. The next messages coming in should already include the extracted fields with possibly converted values.
Extractors support matching field values using regular expressions. Graylog uses the Java Pattern class to evaluate regular expressions.
Most of the other flags supported by Java are rarely used in the context of matching stream rules or extractors, but if you need them their use is documented on the same Javadoc page by Oracle. One common reason to use regular expression flags in your regular expression is to make use of what is called non-capturing groups. Those are parentheses which only group alternatives, but do not make Graylog extract the data they match and are indicated by (?:).
Graylog also supports the extracting data using the popular Grok language to allow you to make use of your existing patterns.
Grok is a set of regular expressions that can be combined to more complex patterns, allowing to name different parts of the matched groups.
By using Grok patterns, you can extract multiple fields from a message field in a single extractor, which often simplifies specifying extractors.
Simple regular expressions are often sufficient to extract a single word or number from a log line, but if you know the entire structure of a line beforehand, for example for an access log, or the format of a firewall log, using Grok is advantageous.
This will add the relevant extracted fields to our log message, allowing Graylog to search on those individual fields, which can lead to more effective search queries by allowing to specifically look for packets that came from a specific source IP instead of also matching destination IPs if one would only search for the IP across all fields.
If the Grok pattern creates many fields, which can happen if you make use of heavily nested patterns, you can tell Graylog to skip certain fields (and the output of their subpatterns) by naming a field with the special keyword UNWANTED.
This now creates only a single field called bytes while making sure the entire pattern must match.
We know that the content of the field len is an integer and would like to make sure it is stored with that data type, so we can later create field graphs with it or access the field's statistical values, like average etc.
There are many resources are the web with useful patterns, and one very helpful tool is the Grok Debugger, which allows you to test your patterns while you develop them.
Graylog uses Java Grok to parse and run Grok patterns.
Since version 1.2, Graylog also supports extracting data from messages sent in JSON format.
In the create extractor page, you can also customize how to separate list of elements, keys, and key/values. It is also possible to flatten JSON structures or expand them into multiple fields, as shown in the example above.
Create a new extractor of type "Copy Input" and select to read from the field message. (Or any other string field that contains key=value pairs.) Configure the extractor to store the (copied) field value to the same field. In this case message. The trick is to add the "Key=Value pairs to fields" converter as last step. Because we use the "Copy Input" extractor, the converter will run over the complete field you selected and convert all key=value pairs it can find.
Many log formats are similar to each other, but not quite the same. In particular they often only differ in the names attached to pieces of information.
2004-10-13 10:37:17 PDT length="50824" srcip="172.17.22.108" srcport="829" dstip="192.168.70.66" dstport="513"
This will only extract the IP address without caring about which of the three naming schemes was used in the original log message. This way you don't have to set up three different extractors.
Extracting most of the data is not a problem and can be done easily. Using the date in the message ( Mar 12 00:45:38 ) as Graylog message timestamp however needs to be done with a date parser converter.
Now imagine you had one of those devices that send messages that are not so easy to parse because they do not follow a strict timestamp format. Some network devices for example like to send days of the month without adding a padding 0 for the first 9 days. You'll have dates like Mar 9 and Mar 10 and end up having problems defining a parser string for that. Or maybe you have something else that is really exotic like just last wednesday as timestamp. The flexible date converter is accepting any text data and tries to build a date from that as good as it can.
Note that the flexible date converter is using UTC as time zone by default unless you have time zone information in the parsed text or have configured another time zone when adding the flexible date converter to an extractor (see this comprehensive list of time zones available for the flexible date converter).
