Q: wkhtmltopdf failure when embed an SVG Has anyone in this vast space has ever had the luck to successfully create a PDF with an embedded SVG on an HTML? I've been receiving segmentation fault all the time.
Or perhaps is there any other way to embed an SVG into an HTML file and then export it to PDF instead of wkhtmltopdf?

A: If this fix doesn't work for others, here's what worked for me with chartist.js, and wkhtmltopdf 0.12.2.1 under Ubuntu 64. (Credit to Panokev)
Add this to your javascript before all other JS.
{

Function.prototype.bind = Function.prototype.bind || function (thisp) {
    var fn = this;
    return function () {
        return fn.apply(thisp, arguments);
    };
};

Definitively set width style for chart div, for example - style="width:950px;"

A: I had similar problem. Seems like javascript embedded in SVG image can cause segmentation fault.
I was generating SVG graphs using pygal Python module. To successfully generate PDF from HTML with SVG graphs I had to do several things:

*

*Remove reference to javascript. (In case of pygal add js=() key to a graph constructor).

*Specify image size in svg tag, like
<svg ... width="300" height="200">

(In case of pygal use explicit_size keywoard)

*Embed SVG image into img tag in base64 encoded form, like
<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0...">

I was using 11th version of wkhtmltopdf.

A: Right .. I managed to pull it off finally ... all needed was a bit of treatment on the original eps file. I opened the file with illustrator and chose to "flatten transparency" .. maybe what it does was to flatten the many layers of the file or something .. then save as svg .. and it rendered nicely in the PDF ..
Hopefully this helps if anyone out there would have the same issue as I did. Thank you! :D

A: We fixed this problem by adding a width and height attribute to the svg besides the viewbox attribute.

The last is a new band that just released their debut album. Pretty lucky to get plugged in with Apocalyptica's US tour.
Speaking of that, I am most likely going to end up seeing all three of these bands live. I love Apocalyptica so its all worth it.

I've always thought other stringed instruments like violin and cello, heavy and distorted, would sound great in metal. I think Apocalyptica show that it's at least possible if nothing else.

Classic and Metal is such an amazing mix. What Metallica did with San Francisco Symphony back in the day was unbelievable. I wish there was a lot more like it.

They do and have done for quite some time. My dying Bride were the first group I heard using violins in metal and that was waaaaay back in 1992/1993.
#386 by Animavore » Feb 25, 2016 10:24 am
Can't listen in work, are they using violin over metal (which I've heard before) or a heavy, electric violin within the metal?
The violinist in MDB is part of the band, so its not tracked over whatever the band is playing. The way the violin is used, is a more of a "Lead" musical part as opposed to the "rhythm" cello of Apocalyptica.
Its Doom Metal though, so much heavier than Apocalyptica.
It's more of a clean violin played as part of a metal ensemble, which plenty of metal songs use. I was thinking more of a violin/cello with distorion, wah, and other pedals. Apocalytica still come closest to what's in my head.
Animavore wrote: It's more of a clean violin played as part of a metal ensemble, which plenty of metal songs use.
I think this is an overstatement and also underplays what MDB have been doing for thirty years and I don't think there is an equivalence with what they do and more mainstream metal bands, who are using violins as a gimmick.

While I like what they're doing, I really don't hear much that is different over what MDB do, only that the Cello is being used as a rhythm instrument rather than a lead. It is still nothing more than a string instrument being used as part of a metal ensemble.

I've been listening to My Dying Bride. They're pretty amazing. Can't believe I've discounted them in the past because they have one of those names which reminds me of My Chemical Romance.
#391 by Sendraks » Mar 02, 2016 2:54 pm
Glad you like them but, I can completely understand why you previously dismissed them on those grounds.
MDB were a well established act, long before My Chemical Romance had their first hit. They've never been a "huge" act though because, well, Doom Metal is something of a niche genre.

Huh. Funny how big of a difference there is depending on if you listen through crappy laptop speakers or through decent headset. This, for example, I would have just shrugged off and ignored if I hadn't plugged the cord in, despite liking the band...

I'm off to Download this year, looking for any recommendations for lesser known bands on the line up. Obviously I know the headliners and the bigger names, but I've not really paid much attention to the scene for the last 15 years so nearly every other band is an unknown quantity to me.

The reason for this is that it probably sounds crap. Certain acts (the two guys with the cellos that cover metal stuff, I can't remember their name) do use liberal amounts of distortion. It sounds great in isolation, but in a band context I'm not sure the frequencies would sit nice with a whole ensemble. There is a lot of fizz, handling noise, and the distorted harmonics from the soundbox of the instrument. Hence the reason that electric guitars are solid bodied. Bodyless electric violins exist, but tend to be amplified clean rather than outright distorted. Mixing a band is usually a compromise, scooping out frequencies from each instrument to give space for the rest. A distorted cello or violin will be kicking out a very wide range and getting it to complement the other instruments would be a challenge. I'm not saying it's impossible, but there are probably reasons why it hasn't been done.
#398 by willhud9 » Mar 11, 2016 3:53 pm
That and in all honesty it wouldn't sound different from a guitar by much. Putting most things through a board and adding distortions can make something sound like its electric.
Even a cappella can be distorted.

Where was this song in my life when my girlfriend broke up with me? C'est la vie. Also I guess Halestorm is not technically metal, but they are hard enough for this metalhead.
Oh and they are also touring with Lacuna Coil and coming to my city so I probably will be going.
Now this is definitely metal.

Does The Khutbah Take Place Of The Two Rakah Of Jumu'ah – Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddin Al-Albani
Tue 7 Shawwal 1437AH CORRESPONDING TO Jul 12 2016 Sun 12 Shawwal 1437AH CORRESPONDING TO Jul 17 2016
The khutbah does not take the place of the two rak'at of Jumu'ah. This is not established from the Prophet (ﷺ). It is only a weak narration narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).
Shaikh al-Albani rahimahullah wrote:
"As for what is reported
from Ibn Abi Shaybah (1/126/1) from Yahya ibn Abi Katheer who said: It was narrated from Umar ibn al-Kattab that he said: Verily the Khutbah was established in place of the two rak'aat. If he does not catch the khutbah, then let him pray dhuhr".
It is not authentic because of the disconnect between Yahya ibn Abi Katheer and Umar
[Ajwibah an-Naafi'ah 'an asilatul lajnah masjid ul-Jaami'ah pg. 49]
If someone catches one rak'ah of the Jumu'ah prayer, then he has caught the Jumu'ah.
The proof is:
مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلاَةَ
Whoever catches one Rak'ah of Friday prayer or other than it, then he has caught the prayer
[Saheeh Ibn Majah no. 1123]
As for coming late to Jummah, then a person will not be recorded in the scrolls for the virtue of coming early to the Friday prayer. However, a person will be recorded for the prayer, listening to the khutbah etc. by the two scribes who record his deeds.
Hafidh Ibn Hajr rahimahullah said:
"The [Hadith] indicates that the Angels mentioned [in the Hadith] are other than the Hafidah [the Angels who record the good and bad deeds]. The intent of the scrolls rolling up is the rolling up of the scrolls of virtue attached to coming early to the Jumu'ah unlike other than it from listening to the Khutbah, catching the prayer, the remembrance, the supplication, submissiveness and other than it for these actions will definitely be recorded by the two scribes"
[Fathul-Bari (3/285)]
Also Shaikh al-Albani rahimahullah mentions the following wording of the Hadith from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported by an-Nasaai:
من أدرك ركعة من الجمعة فقد أدرك الجمعة
Whoever catches one rak'ah of Jumu'ah, then he has caught the Jumu'ah
Shaikh al-Albani graded it authentic in [Ajwibah an-Naafi'ah (pg. 48-49)]
So that wording makes it clearer.
And Allah Knows Best

FIRST TRADE POLICY FRAMEWORK IN DRAFT STAGE
adminJune 16, 2014 6:26 am 0

The National Trade Development Council was convened on June 3rd to discuss progress on the ongoing Trade Policy Framework consultations and contribute to its formulation.
The Department of External Trade, with support from the Pacific Islands Forum, is currently drafting a Trade Policy Framework for Solomon Islands that will lay the foundation for the country's first National Trade Policy.
A government statement said the document aims to align trade policy with sectoral priorities in other Ministries, also taking into account the views of the private sector and civil society.
Trade agreements now typically cover many areas traditionally not associated with trade from industrial development policy to trade in services such as banking and tourism which critically require a representative trade policy framework to ensure Solomon Islands' trade relations reflect national policy priorities.
Dr. Chris Noonan, a Professor at the University of Auckland, is supporting the Department of External Trade in drafting the document.
In the discussions Dr. Noonan says an emerging consensus from the consultations that trade is not an end in itself but one mechanism to achieve society's objectives should be on enhancing the role of trade in the economy as a means to reducing poverty and raising the level of human development.
Meanwhile, he adds trade is not limited to goods but includes diverse forms of economic relations between people, business, government adding, this covers the movement of money, people and knowledge inwards and outwards of Solomon Islands.
In terms of provincial consultations, Director of External Trade Barrett Salato says it is clear that key priorities for the private sector, especially in the provinces access finance for small to medium enterprises, building productive capacity and the construction of adequate infrastructure to facilitate business growth.
The Trade Policy Framework will seek to identify how trade policy can support these priorities to enable increased commerce and trade.
According to Mr. Salato another key outcome of the consultation is that stakeholders want increased access to job opportunities abroad and the extension of current seasonal worker schemes with Australia and New Zealand to more skilled sectors in order to build the skills of participants and increase the development impact of the schemes.
He noted that if Australia and New Zealand are truly concerned with the well-being of Solomon Islanders they need to make labour mobility a development priority in their bilateral relationship with Solomon Islands.
They can achieve many times the development impact currently achieved through improvements to the seasonal worker programs that have been proven to benefit employers, employees, Solomon Islands and the host country.
This round of consultations includes visits to Isabel, Temotu and Malaita provinces.

NEWER POSTGOVERNMENT QUESTIONED OVER DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES
OLDER POSTSIDT FOUNDER ABRAHAM BAEANISIA PASSED ON PEACEFULLY


At this moment, the lights are on around the country in homes and workplaces. Most don't realize, perhaps take it for granted, that those lights come on because of the hard work of dispatchers operating one of the most important manmade systems ever built, the national electric power grid.
Without oversimplifying the process too much, this happens because of a complex network of thousands of coordinated individuals in energy control offices across the country. Each office serves as a part of an electric grid nervous system of interconnected generators and transmission lines that deliver power to end users.
For utilities, building accurate estimations of the electricity demand of their customers is critical. Inaccurate forecasts can result in significant financial losses and/or outages for consumers, but unfortunately, the ability to accurately predict demand even within the very short-term is extremely difficult to do. Operators, schedulers, and marketers must make this kind of high-stakes decisions every day, oftentimes based on tedious, manual and error-prone methods.
Like many utilities across the country, the City of Independence, Missouri Power & Light (IPL) found themselves in this difficult position. The department is responsible for predicting the amount of power IPL's customers would consume each day and buy the required energy at the lowest prices possible. Ultimately, their goal was to ensure customers' needs were met, while maximizing cost savings on behalf of the city.
To do this, the IPL's System Operators used an off-the-shelf product alongside their historical data. Every morning before the markets opened, they would study weather forecasts, recent days' activity, and historical similar day data to build a load profile for the next day. This was time-intensive, manual work, but all too common in the utility industry. Due to the highly dynamic nature of power demand, it was also necessary for the System Operators to constantly update their predictions throughout the day. Ultimately, IPL was running an 8% average error rate.
One of the system operations supervisors knew there had to be a better, easier way to build load forecasts that would save the city time and ultimately the residents, money. They turned to a product from Pattern Recognition Technologies Inc. (PRT), a company that provides load, price, wind, and solar forecasts based on highly adaptive and dynamic machine learning algorithms. Using this artificial intelligence system meant IPL received highly accurate load forecasts updated several times per hour. Now, IPL no longer spent their mornings building load predictions by hand. Instead, PRT's sophisticated software built technology-driven forecasts that they still had the ability to review and approve.
Within two weeks, IPL's error rate dropped from 8% to 6%. The improvements continued as PRT's algorithms were able to "learn" from past load behaviors and build increasingly accurate forecasts. Within a year of using PRT, the error rate was down to within 4%, resulting in annual savings of over $100,000 to the city. IPL's Operations team was able to stop wasting time on manual activities and rely on technology to do the work. With more accurate forecasts and their team's time used more efficiently, IPL is creating value and cost savings that they can pass on to their ratepayers.
"The value added by Patter Recognition Technology's to IPL's system operations made an immediate impact that continues every day," said Gary, System Operations Supervisor, Independence Power & Light.
Nearly every industry has its periods of monumental advancements that transform how things were done in the past, resulting in a more efficient, less expensive solution. The tractor improved farming, the automobile enhanced transportation, and I believe artificial intelligence is on the cusp of revolutionizing power. But these historical moments didn't happen in an isolated vacuum– they took collaboration and communication.
It's been said that those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. If we learn from others, we need not commit the same costly mistakes.

Gulf Coast officially opened its search on Monday for a new coach to replace long-time coach Jay Powell, who resigned on Feb. 27 after 12 seasons leading the Commodores. The first review of applications for the job will take place on April 22 and Kandler said the school hoped to have a new coach hired by early May.
Approximately 100 candidates have contacted Gulf Coast about the position since Powell's resignation, according to Kandler, who said he's not at all surprised by the level of interest.
"We believed it's a good job, so we figured a lot of people would be interested in it," he said. "When these Panhandle Conference jobs open up, there's a generally a good bit of interest."
Kandler said Gulf Coast hasn't contacted anyone about the job yet and would wait until the end of the application process to start setting up interviews. Once that begins, Kandler said it shouldn't take long to get a new coach in place.
"Obviously we're gonna work as quickly as we can," he said. "You want to do it as quickly as possible. Really the aim is just to get the best basketball coach we can get, someone who can bring in good players and develop them and get them to the next level.
"Obviously we understand how difficult the (Panhandle) Conference is, so if you're competing on a conference level here then you're going to be competing at a national level as well. Our goal is to get those two things accomplished."
While not making it a prerequisite, Kandler said his preference is to hire someone with previous college head coaching experience.
"We'd prefer that," he said. "I think this conference is so good that it's a difficult place for it to be your first head coaching job, so that would be something we would like to have. That doesn't mean it's going to happen, there are all kinds of different candidates in all shapes and sizes. It's just something to me where, if it's the first time you've ever called a timeout in your life, you might be in over your head a little bit."
The Gulf Coast men's program hasn't been able to find consistent success of the women's program, which recently claimed its sixth national title under legendary coach Roonie Scovel.
However, Kandler said he views the success of the Commodore women as a selling point for the men's job and illustrates the kind of success the right coach can have at Gulf Coast.
"I think with the success that the women's program has had and the league we play in and the quality of players that have come through, it's got to be an appealing job to a lot of coaches," he said. "Coaches want to coach quality players and that's something you're able to do here.
"If you're a competitive person as a coach, I feel like you should want to coach in the best basketball conference in the country. If you're coaching at the NCAA level, you want to be in the Big 10 or the ACC or something like that. That's what the Panhandle Conference is for JUCO basketball. If you prove you can win here, you can probably win anywhere."

T-50 PAK-FA fighter jet project with Russia hits turbulence

By: India Today (intoday.in)
New Delhi is increasingly concerned about the sluggish progress in the fifth generation fighter aircraft (FGFA) project, a joint endeavour between India and Russia.
Driving India's worries is the fact that the Russians are neither explaining why a prototype aircraft caught fire during a technology demonstration earlier this year nor addressing other technical doubts expressed by India. In fact, the defence ministry is quite sceptical about reports from Russia that a final design contract for the next generation combat jet is on the cards.
ANALYSIS: India's air force modernisation challenge

The modernisation of the Indian air force is massive in scale and hugely expensive, but should deliver capability that will put the service at the forefront of any future conflict.
At the beginning of this decade New Delhi embarked on a modernisation of the Indian air force on an unprecedented scale. The process is under way as part of the long-term integrated perspective plan, which spans a period of 15 years from 2012. This plan split into five-year periods, from the 12th plan, which runs until 2017, to the 14th plan, which covers 2023 to 2027.

IAF's frontline fighter jet Sukhoi-30MKI will be modified under new specifications laid down by its Russian manufacturers to fix mid-air engine trouble in its fleet.
The move comes after the IAF faced an unusually high number of mid-air engine failures over the past two years (January 2102 onwards) and asked the Russians to rectify the problem in the fighter jet. The Tribune had highlighted this in its July 21 report. The IAF has a fleet of 200 Sukhoi aircraft and another 72 are on their way from Moscow.

Avionics failures have led to the grounding of more than 20 of India's Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets, with Indian and Russian officials each suggesting the problem subsystems could have been supplied by the other side.
The avionics faults have included the head-up display and the mission computer, an Indian Air Force source said.
Russians go slow, Sukhoi fleet in trouble

A shocking 50% of the Indian Air Force's (IAF's) Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter fleet is on the ground due to unresolved servicing issues with the aircraft's Russian manufacturers. This has also eroded the combat capability of India's frontline long-range strike aircraft and compromised even that part of the fleet which is capable of being flown.
The IAF and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) have rung the alarm bells about the repeated mid-flight failure of the Su-30 mission computer and the blanking out of all cockpit displays. The Russians have not responded to the repeated SOS' from the Indians for over a year.

The government, the sources said, was told the Air Force's combat jet fleet would soon begin shrinking dangerously, even as the Army was short of tanks and artillery.

India's military has postponed until the next financial year a plan to buy 126 fighter planes from France's Dassault Aviation, the defence minister said on Thursday.

Dassault Aviation has begun testing an upgraded variant of the Rafale configured to carry an expanded configuration of weapons and fuel. This configuration will enable the French strike fighter aircraft to attack more targets and conduct counter-air missions at longer range.

With national elections looming in India, speculation is growing that contracts for the long-delayed medium multi-role combat aircraft (MMRCA), as well as the multi-role tanker transport (MRTT), could soon be signed. However, the MMRCA pact might cover only the supply of 18 Dassault Rafale aircraft from the French production line, leaving further negotiations for the remaining 108 required to be concluded by the new government. India announced its choice of the Rafale in January 2012. But negotiations subsequently stalled over offsets, the transfer of technology and the role of Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL).
Delays in procurement are taking a toll on military force levels as Indian Air Force (IAF) squadrons deplete. This has resulted in pressure on the Ministry of Defense to increase the pace for awarding pending contracts. A government code of conduct prevents any contracts being awarded within 45 days of an election. The national election is expected to be called by March, also the end of the financial year.
How the Su-30 MKI is changing the IAF's combat strategy

By: Rakesh Krishnan Simha (http://indrus.in)
With the induction of large numbers of class leading Sukhoi-30 MKI fighters, the Indian Air Force (IAF) has not only made a huge technological transition from a MiG-21 dominated fleet, its war fighting doctrine has also changed, focusing on long-range and strategic missions.
Aggressiveness is a fundamental requirement of air combat, and the IAF has traditionally been an attack orientated force. For instance, on December 3, 1971 in response to Pakistan Air Force (PAF) raids on 11 Indian airbases, the IAF responded with initial air strikes the same night, which were expanded to massive retaliatory air strikes the next morning.
In previous wars, it didn't matter if their opponents had better aircraft and radars, IAF pilots compensated for it with their superior training and ingenuity. IAF pilots truly internalised what Sergei Dolgushin, a Russian Air Force ace with 24 victories in WWII, said is a prerequisite to be a successful fighter pilot: "a love of hunting, a great desire to be the top dog".
Long range and two fronts
It was with the MiG-29 Fulcrum that the IAF for the very first time acquired a superior aircraft compared with those operated by the PAF. However, the qualitative edge was marginal. On the other hand the Sukhoi-30 MKI is an "air dominance fighter" that is allowing the IAF to perform a multiplicity of missions required to keep in step with India's rising global stature. The Sukhoi's versatility – owing to its extended range, speed, firepower and super-manoeuvrability – has given the IAF considerable leeway in deploying the aircraft in offensive missions.
In April 2013 the IAF held its largest-ever combat exercise involving as many as 400 combat aircraft plus 200 transport planes and helicopters. The exercise was aimed at testing the IAF's capability for a two-front war against China and Pakistan, by deploying "swing forces" from the western theatre right across to the east.
As part of the war games, Sukhoi-30MKIs flew 1800 km bombing missions from Chabua in Assam to the western front, with mid-air refuelling. This is possible because the Sukhoi has a range of 4.5 hours on internal fuel, and IAF pilots are known to lead missions over 10 hours.

Q: Creating MySQL Events in Amazon RDS I'm trying to create a MySQL Event on an RDS database.  It took me a bit to figure out that I needed to change the DB Parameters and get the scheduler started.  However, even with the scheduler running (I see is running in SHOW PROCESSLIST), I am still getting "ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user..." when I create an event.  I tried posting on the AWS discussion boards, but nothing.
Has anyone created a MySQL event in an AWS RDS instance?  If so, what I am not doing, or what am I missing to get it created?
I'm using the Master User account so I suspect it has to be another DB Parm I havent set (I suspect).

A: You have to create a parameter group for your instance.
Go to your RDS Dashboard and click parameters on the left.
You should see a list of parameter groups, if you only see "default" groups, then you need to create a new group. (see 1a).  If you already have a custom parameter group, skip to 1b.
1a. Click create parameter at the top, make sure you select the appropriate MySql version you're DB is using (found on the instances dashboard).  Give it a name and click "yes, create". (also do 1c).
1b. Click the magnifying glass in the row where your parameter group is and it will take you to the details page.
On the details page look at the bottom and you will see "Filter:"  in the search box type "Event".  Let the table filter and then click "Edit Parameters".  In the list below you want to change the "values" column for "event_scheduler" and type "ON" in the box.
If you originally started with a parameter group you're good to go, you can head over to your instances dashboard to see that it's applying your parameter group changes.  If you created your parameter group, continue on.
Warning! The next step requires a reboot!
1c. You need to apply your parameter group to your DB instance.  Click instances on the left and then select the DB you want to apply the parameter group to.  At the top you want to click "Instance Actions" and then "Modify".
Change the "Parameter Group" selection to be the new parameter group you created.  Click continue at the bottom of the page, then modify db instance on the next page.  You now need to reboot your server, select "Instance Actions" then "Reboot".


Salt Lake City - To the members of his polygamist cult, Ervil LeBaron is a prophet of God, leader of a persecuted and misunderstood band of gentle people. But to law-enforcement officials, he is a prophet of blood, an obsessed dictator whose disciples have killed at his bidding.
Which of these views is more accurate may emerge later this summer, when the 54-year-old former Mormon missionary is tried for murder.
Until he was hustled across the border last month by Mexican authorities, LeBaron had been a fugitive for nearly two years, sought in connection with three murders - including the slaying of the leader of a rival polygamist church.
LeBaron has a long history of trouble with the law. He was once convicted in Mexico in connection with the murder of his brother - also leader of a polygamist cult - but the verdict was reversed. He is also accused in the attempted murder of another brother, leader of yet another polygamist cult.
LeBaron once wrote that "religious impostors" had been marked for execution, and false prophets are "subject to civil judgment by the law of God, which, in some cases, requires the penalty of death."
LeBaron did not fight extradition to Utah from Texas, and is in the Salt Lake City-County Jail awaiting an August 16 preliminary hearing.
While LeBaron was at large, one of his 13 or more wives was convicted of one of the murders in California, while another wife was acquitted of charges in connection with a second slaying in Utah.
LeBaron will be tried on charges he masterminded the slaying of rival polygamist leader Rulon Allred, who was shot to death by two persons in his suburban Salt Lake City doctor's office May 10, 1977.
Four of LeBaron's followers, including wife Rena Chynoweth, were acquitted last March of murder and conspiracy charges in connection with Allred's death. The prosecution contended LeBaron had ordered the slaying.
Another LeBaron wife, Vonda Evelyn White, was convicted in San Diego of murdering Dean Grover Vest, a man who wanted to leave LeBaron's cult. She was sentenced June 13 to life in prison.
During the California trial, Deputy district Attorney Gary Rempel charged that Vest's murder was carried out on orders from LeBaron, and he wants to try LeBaron in the case. LeBaron is also charged with first-degree murder in the 1975 slaying of Utah polygamist Robert Simons, and with attempted murder and conspiracy in what authorities say was an attempt at Allred's funeral to gun down his own brother, Verlan.
Polygamy was sanctioned by the Mormon Church until 1890. It is illegal in Utah, but is practiced by some 20,000 persons here and 15, 000 others throughout the West. Thousands more have fled to colonies in Mexico, as LeBaron's parents did in the 1920s.
LeBaron's cult, the church of the Lamb of God, is one of the smaller polygamist groups with about 100 followers. LeBaron, an imposing figure at 6-4 and 220 pounds, is an enigma because few understand his polygamist lifestyle, says John O'Connell, the attorney who defended Chynoweth.
"The image you get from the state is that if Ervil says, "Take out the garbage," and you don't, you get shot. And that's absurd," he said. "A lot of violence is going on, obviously. I mean people are getting killed ....There are wolves out there among those sheep."
But the attorney said the violence is tied to polygamy's illegality. "Here is the state attacking a family relationship, and all that does is put everything outside the law, and it deprives all these people of the protection of the law," he said.
LeBaron, who was born in Mexico, has been linked to violent acts in that country. He was once a member of the Church of the Firstborn of the Fullness of Times, headed by his brother, Joel, who was found beaten and shot to death in 1972 in Mexico after having thrown Ervil out of the church.
LeBaron was sentenced in Ensenada to a 12-year prison term as "intellectual head" of Joel's murder, but a Mexican tribunal later overturned the verdict. He was arrested again in Mexico in March 1976, and charged with being the "intellectual author" of the firebombing of a Church of the Firstborn community that left two dead and 19 wounded. The charge was dismissed for insufficient evidence.
O'Connell said LeBaron is not as formidable a leader as authorities claim. "The state's theory that this church is a well-oiled machine run by this dictator...."
"Everybody I talked to had a different version of who was in charge. As an organization man, he's inept. Whether he's a good guy or a bad guy, he's not running that thing like a machine. He's got his head in the clouds."


Congrats!!! You're such an amazing runner and human! Great pics and wow 27 is COLD. It is so hard to dress for cold weather running! It was 33 in Tulsa for my 5K and I bundled up WAY too much. At least clothes can always come off!


I cannot get 10.8.2 or above to even get to the install screen. My specs are I3 with Intel hd graphics, 4 gb memory it's a Gateway NV7921. I have tried everything to get up to ML or Mavericks nothing works like I said it never gets to the install screen infinite loops. I have posted on those forums deepak has tried to help nothing works. I would like to just get up to 10.7.5 if possible. I use the combo update and multibeast but it gets stuck at the apple screen just spinning. Sometimes I can hear the guy talking about using the microphone to log on that's it. I cannot find a dst for this laptop so I am using easybeast and ps2 kexts that's about it and just loops. I don't get if it will run 10.7.3 why it won't run 10.7.5. I wish it would go up to mavericks I guess it's not the right specs with this having the first gen I3 graphics.
The only thing I can find to change is the IDE to AHCI. That was already done.
I never get past this and have tried all the flags you have provided.
That's the problem I never get to the installer I only get to the first screen where I can provide a boot flag then when I hit enter instead of the apple screen that eventually goes to the installer it starts over to splash screen then the same process.
I have tried both and they just loop back to splash screen. How do you start without graphics Keats I can't get to installer to remove them.
I can't get it to get to the install screen no matter what flags I put. I have the USA and did distro and the DVD distros of 10.8.0 and 10.7.3. The only one that works is 10.7.3 it goes right to installer and works. I cannot believe this won't work. Even on 10.7.3 I can't go to 10.7.5. After downloading the combo update then running it and multi beast it stays on the apple logo screen indefinitely. Is it that the Intel hm55 graphics chipped isn't supported?
That's where I get also if I hit enter it just reboots the computer. If I put flags in like -x -f -s -v it does the same thing back to gateway splash screen then back to the screen you posted.
Okay I figured out the usb transferred everything over and tried it. Nothing same thing it starts to boot then back to splash screen start over. I then reboot tried the above flag and still does the same thing. It does it with anything above Lion. Niresh Lion 10.7.3 works great minus sleep and correct graphics resolution. I have tried ML all versions and the new Mavericks. I just don't get why it won't boot into install to even begin.
This is what happens when I use the USB distro. When you boot up and it boots to usb. The Niresh distro is there for you to hit enter or put in a boot flag IE: -x. If you hit enter it briefly goes black then restarts the computer. It doesn't matter what boot flag you put in you never get anywhere it keeps that loop so it never ever gets to where you can install at all.


Designed for a developer, for rent, the site was previously occupied by a row of three garages, measuring 4.4 x 8 metres.
The 75m2 internal area is divided over three floors achieved with a split-level plan. A half-basement allows the top floor to be less than 4.5m permitting a plan without a fully enclosed stair. As a consequence, this small house on a tight site feels spacious and light.
Construction was simple; reinforced block basement walls, concrete block walls and joisted floors and roof. Insulation is external behind a rainscreen of cement fibre panels in red and white, the colours of Arsenal football club, (Highbury stadium is on the same road). The roof is zinc-standing seam. Internally the house is painted plaster with oak floors and staircase.

The US Air Force announced Monday that it has conducted a new "successful" test of a HAWC hypersonic missile with the aim of "improving future capabilities" of the military, as reported by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
The missile, launched from a B-5 aircraft , traveled nearly 300 nautical miles — more than 480 kilometers–and reached an altitude of over 60,000 feet (18,288 meters). It also accelerated to speeds in excess of Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound).
"This month's flight marks a before and after in the test program of flight of the most successful Hypersonic Weapon Concept (HAWC) project in American history," Air Force Deputy for the Hypersonic Missile Specialty Program, Walter Walter, said in a statement. Price.
Likewise, the program manager, Andrew Knoedler, assured that this missile initiative, in collaboration with the company Lockheed Martin and Aerojet Rocketdyne, achieved "a large amount of data and progress for the hypersonic community." "The HAWC program created a generation of new hypersonic engineers and scientists,", Price added.

New joint exercises
United Statesand Korea South South will hold exercises based on possible scenarios to deal with the nuclear threats, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declared Tuesday.
Both countries will carry out "exercises (…) based on increasingly complex scenarios and focused on threats nuclear on the peninsula," Austin wrote in an opinion piece published by the Yonhap news agency, without specifying when they would occur.

Austin visited Seoul, the capital of Korea of South, for the third time since he was named defense secretary. He is scheduled to meet with his counterpart Lee Jong-sup and President Yoon Suk-yeol.
His visit seeks to improve cooperation between the two countries and put the challenges on the table that exist in terms of security.
It also intends to reaffirm "that the United States commitment to expanded deterrence with the Republic of Korea is ironclad," wrote the head of&nbsp ;Pentagon.
Military tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen in the past year after North Korea conducted weapons tests almost every month, including firing its missile most advanced intercontinental ballistic system.

Donald Clendenon served a tour of duty in Vietnam before going on to become a soldier of fortune. He first met Amelia Barnhardt during these days.[1]
As Cardinal, Clendenon became the leader of the mercenary group known as the Air Force, a band of individuals using winged body armor as their specific weapon and equipment of choice.[2]
The Air Force often battled and were defeated by the New Warriors during the course of their missions. During one such battle, Night Thrasher, blackmailed the Air Force into participating in African relief efforts.[1]
During his time in Africa, Cardinal became convinced that the cause he had taken up was a noble one and worked hard to aid the needy, but his work ended when a group called the Undertow tried to kill the refugees. During the battle with Undertow, Cardinal was badly wounded. His friend Sparrow was captured, and the rest of the Air Force were killed.[3]
Angry about an unsuccessful rescue of Sparrow, Cardinal returned to being a mercenary. This led him to join the Crimson Cowl's Masters of Evil in their plot to blackmail the world's governments, but he was defeated and captured by the Thunderbolts along with most of the other Masters.[4]
Later, when the Thunderbolts' leader Hawkeye was arrested and serving time at Seagate prison for illegal vigilante activities, Cardinal, and many other villains tried to kill him. Cardinal was soon freed from prison by the Crimson Cowl to rejoin the Masters of Evil. The Cowl promised to destroy Hawkeye, who they blamed for the death of Cardinal's daughter, Valerie Barnhardt, who was killed while on a mission for the Thunderbolt's interim team.[5]
In a turn of events, Hawkeye convinced Cardinal and a few other members of the Masters of Evil to side with him against the Crimson Cowl and their former allies, pointing out the dangers of a super-weapon she had created, a biological toxin that threatened to kill any villain who had ever worked with Hammer, including Cardinal. To keep their identities secret, Hawkeye made the villains reinvent their costumed identities, and Cardinal joined the Thunderbolts as Harrier, although he still blamed Hawkeye over the death of his daughter.[6]
Cardinal, now know as Harrier, aided the Thunderbolts in defeating the Crimson Cowl and her Masters of Evil. During the battle, Harrier appeared to drop Hawkeye from a great height, but this was found to be the work of a villain who had seized control of the Harrier's armor. Harrier eventually forgave Hawkeye for his daughter's death and chose to return to prison in order to serve the remainder of his sentence. [7]

Q: Exercise 4.3.12 in Understand analysis
Let $F \subset R$ be a nonempty closed set and define $g(x) = \inf \{ | x - a | : a \in F \}$. Show that g is continuous on $R$.

I follow a solution, and this is its approach to prove the statement. First, it proves $\forall x \in R$, there exists a number $a_x \in F$ st, $g(x) = | x - a_x |$, and uses the result to state that for a constant $x_0$ and its corresponding $a_0$,
$$ | g(x) - g(x_0) | = \inf \{| |x - a| - |x_0 - a_0| | : \forall a \in F \} \space (1) $$
By triangle inequality, it is straightforward to prove,
$$|| x - a | - |x_0 - a_0|| \le |x - x_0 | + |a - a_0|$$
The rest of the proof is obvious following definition of continuity.
I got stuck in the equation (1), though I obtained the equation,
$$ | g(x) - g(x_0) | = |inf \{ | x - a | : a \in F\} - |x_0 - a_0| |$$
How to prove (1)? I also appreciate if you provide any other solution.

A: The function is actually Lipschitz continuous.
Let $x,y \in \mathbb R$. Since $F \neq \emptyset$ and $d(x,y)=|x-y|$ is a metric on $\mathbb R$, we have that $\inf\{|x-a|: a \in F\}$ exists and is unique. In other words, $g$ is well-defined.
Let $\varepsilon>0$ be given. Then there exists $a_x, a_y \in F$ so that $|x-a_x| < g(x)+\varepsilon$ and $|y-a_y| < g(y)+\varepsilon$. Since $g(x) \leq |x-a|$ and $g(y) \leq |y-a|$ for all $a \in F$, we have
$$g(x)-g(y) \leq |x-a_y|-g(y) \leq |x-y|+|y-a_y|-g(y) <|x-y|+\varepsilon$$
and
$$g(x)-g(y) \geq g(x)-|y-a_x| \geq g(x)-|y-x|-|x-a_x|>-|y-x|-\varepsilon=-|x-y|-\varepsilon.$$
Thus $|g(x)-g(y)|<|x-y|+\varepsilon$. Letting $\varepsilon \to 0 $, we have $|g(x)-g(y)| \leq |x-y|$.
Now we may observe that we only needed to assume that $F \subset \mathbb R$ is nonempty.

The Star-Ledger-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire
The American League Championship series begins Saturday with the New York Yankees' Andy Pettitte and the Detroit Tigers' Doug Fister taking the mound for their respective teams.
Pettitte is 5-4 on the year with a 2.87 ERA with 69 strikeouts. Fister is 10-10 with a 3.45 ERA with 137 strikeouts.
Pettitte, known throughout his career as a big-game pitcher, allowed three runs on seven hits in seven innings in a loss to the Baltimore Orioles in his one start during the Yankees' ALDS.
Fister allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings pitched in his win over the Oakland A's during the Tigers' ALDS win.
Fister will be followed in the Tigers rotation by Anibal Sanchez, Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer. The Yankees' rotation isn't known yet, but CC Sabathia will be a major part of it.
Sabathia pitched a complete game gem in Game 5 against the Orioles, allowing one run on four hits with nine strikeouts. Overall, he has given up three runs on 12 hits with 16 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings for two of the Yankees' three postseason wins.
The Tigers have a solid rotation, but what makes them special is a Sabathia-sized talent anchoring it in Justin Verlander.
Verlander turned in two gems in the Tigers' series win over Oakland. In two wins, Verlander allowed only one run on seven hits with 22 strikeouts in 16 innings. Verlander is coming off a 17-8 season with a 2.64 ERA and 239 strikeouts.
Sanchez went 9-13 with a 3.86 ERA and 167 strikeouts during the regular season. In his one start so far this postseason, Sanchez went 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on five hits in a loss.
Scherzer went 16-7 with a 3.74 ERA and 231 strikeouts during the regular season. In his lone postseason start, Scherzer allowed one run on three hits in 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision.
