Q: Pyside6 inserting a row into a QSqlRelationalTableModel I am trying to insert a row into a PostgreSQL database using a QSqlRelationalTableModel. The connection works and I can edit the data in the tableview. However, I am stuck with trying to insert a new row. The error is because of NULL values for the relation fields. Seems I cannot just push integers to them. So what is the proper way for doing this as cannot find an answer to this?
class Accounts(QDialog):
  def __init__(self, parent=None):
    super().__init__(parent)
    # Set up the ui
    self.ui = Ui_account()
    self.ui.setupUi(self)
    self.ui.addbutton.clicked.connect(self.onadd)
    self.ui.closebutton.clicked.connect(self.onclose)
    self.userid = parent.userid
    # Set up the model
    self.model = QSqlRelationalTableModel(self)
    self.model.setTable("accounts")
    self.model.setEditStrategy(QSqlRelationalTableModel.OnRowChange)
    self.model.setHeaderData(0, Qt.Horizontal, "id")
    self.model.setHeaderData(1, Qt.Horizontal, "name")
    self.model.setHeaderData(2, Qt.Horizontal, "currencyid")
    self.model.setHeaderData(3, Qt.Horizontal, "created")
    self.model.setHeaderData(4, Qt.Horizontal, "createdby")
    self.model.setHeaderData(5, Qt.Horizontal, "closed")
    self.model.setRelation(2,QSqlRelation("currency","id","type"))
    self.model.setRelation(4,QSqlRelation("employees","id","name"))
    self.model.select()
    # Set up the view
    self.ui.accountview.setModel(self.model)
    self.ui.accountview.setColumnHidden(0,True)
    self.ui.accountview.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(1, QHeaderView.Stretch)
    self.ui.accountview.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(2, QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
    self.ui.accountview.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(3, QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
    self.ui.accountview.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(4, QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
    self.ui.accountview.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(5, QHeaderView.ResizeToContents)
    self.ui.accountview.setItemDelegate(QSqlRelationalDelegate(self.ui.accountview))

  def onadd(self):
    # Insert a new record
    r = self.model.record()
    # Auto generated in the PSQL database
    r.setGenerated("id",False)
    r.setGenerated("created",False)
    r.setGenerated("closed",False)
    r.setValue("name",self.ui.accname.text())
    # Stored in db as integers of the primary key of the other tables
    r.setValue("currencyid",self.ui.currency.currentIndex())
    r.setValue("createdby",self.userid)
    self.model.insertRecord(-1,r)
    # Fails at this point with NULL values for the foreign keys
    self.model.select()`

A: Finally found an old comment from 2014 when searching on just QT and not specifically PyQT. Seems the issue only happens for relation fields. The fix is to not call it by its name, but by its index only. Therefore the above 2 lines should be changed to:
    r.setValue(2,self.ui.currency.currentIndex())
    r.setValue(4,self.userid)

And now all works.

Berryville High School had 18 students earn the Arkansas Seal of Biliteracy for demonstrating proficiency in English and one or more other languages by high school graduation.
The following students received the Seal of Biliteracy: Alex Maldonado, Delwin Portillo, Jacqueline Diaz-Lopez, Jessica Noriega, Jesus Perez, John Morales, Juan Esquivel, Brian Garcia, Cesar Martinez, Claudia Vanessa Alvarez Parada, Giovanni Covarrubias, Gisselle Morones, Jacqueline Portillo Orellana, Manuel Tellez, Navi Romero, Victoria Villatoro, Yareli Rangel-Leon and Isidro Garduno Pena.
According to a press release from the Arkansas Seal of Biliteracy Committee, the Seal of Biliteracy was adopted first by California in 2011 and is now recognized in 36 states and Washington D.C. According to the official website, the Seal of Biliteracy encourages students to pursue biliteracy, honors the skills students attain and can be evidence of skills that are attractive to future employers and college admissions officers.
Since the 2017 pilot year, the release says a total of 812 Arkansas students from 31 high school around the state have attained this certification. It says the Arkansas Seal of Biliteracy is awarded each spring and fall to students in grades 9 through 12 and is sponsored by the Arkansas Foreign Language Teachers Association (AFLTA) and the Arkansas Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ARKTESOL). The Arkansas Department of Education officially endorsed the Seal in June 2018.

If you're new to life in the kitchen, or you've just ventured out on your own, making a variety of dishes – especially healthy ones – can be frustrating if you don't have the right tools.
Our kitchens are often epicenters of clutter. Countless cooking utensils lay scattered in drawers and cabinets some dull (and dangerous) knives may be sitting on the counter. Amid all that clutter, home chefs often find themselves with many things that they never use.
Today, I (Orleatha) share my favorite tools that I feel are most essential to get you from zero to at least semi-hero in the kitchen, so that you are ready to go on the quest of making delicious home cooked meals quickly and efficiently.
In this post I talk about the top 13 tools that I personally use all the time in hopes that it will help you on your real food journey. I also share a few pro tips throughout the post, based on my decades of cooking experience. I want food preparation and cooking to be fun, easy, and enjoyable for all.
You don't have to buy all of these things at once. You can totally add to your kitchen tool collection over time, slowly switching out old, useless equipment for new items that you will actually use. Building up a set of tools that feels comfortable for you can take time and depends on your preferences and budget.
For a measuring spoon, look for ones with a long handle (to reach into jars) that are also detachable. I also prefer a combo spoon with one narrow end that can fit into spice jars, and one round end for liquids narrow-shaped spoons instead of round.
Pro Tip: I like to have two sets of measuring spoons when I'm prepping my weekly meals. I use one for dry ingredients (like spices) and one for liquid so there is no need to keep cleaning between measuring from wet to dry.
The Box grater is a genius, multi-talented workhorse of the kitchen. From making homemade pasta and bread crumbs to cauliflower rice and so much more! It's simple, it's low-tech, it lasts for ever, and it's brilliant. I have even used it to grate hardened brown sugar boulders and cold butter for pastry blending.
Pro Tip: When looking for a grater, it's ultra important to look for one that is not only durable but comfortable to use.
An oil mister is perfect for cooking, grilling, sautéing, roasting and basting. It is also great for spraying your favorite oil on salads, pasta, veggies, breads, pizza, chicken, beef and fish. Since you can refill them, they are very cost effective and great for the environment. I'd rather not to pay more for added chemicals or contribute to the waste in our landfills. It also doesn't harm the ozone layer since it is non-aerosol sprayer that doesn't use chemical propellants.
Pro Tip: Buy one for each of your favorite oils so that you always have them on hand and easy to use. They're great for avocado, olive, sesame, and a bunch more oils.
Before discovering that I reacted negatively to traditional wheat pasta, I used to eat it every week without fail. Thankfully, I've discovered a new breed of noodles – no, not rice, quinoa, or corn. The latest culinary rage is spiralized veggies, with zucchini leading the charge.
Enter my spiral slicer. It that turns fresh veggies into faux-noodles (zoodles, if you will, but I won't). It isn't just for the carb-averse either. Everyone from home cooks to restaurant chefs are spiralizing.
Most models are about the size of a large toaster and function like a giant pencil sharpener but I discovered one that is not only small and compact (taking up less room than an electric can opener) but I don't destroy my fingers trying to clean it because it's dishwasher safe!
Pro Tip: When selecting a spiralizer, make sure to consider the overall size of the unit (i.e. where are you going to store it?), ease of use, and whether it has to be hand washed or can go in the dishwasher.
P.S. Check out my video demonstration here of the Veggie Master III and you'll see why I love it so!
P.P.S. Need some veggie noodle recipes to get you going? We have you covered with 30 Spiralized Veggie Noodle Recipes here.
I will admit that the tortilla press could be considered a kitchen unitasker of the worst sort — it can really only be used for pressing tortillas. And yet — while you can totally make tortillas without one, I just can't get over how perfectly a press makes tortillas! I can never, ever get them as thin and even with a rolling pin as I can with this press.
Unitasker or not, a press like this makes complete sense of you eat a lot of tortillas in your house – especially if you have food sensitivities and have to purchase specialty tortillas – those things can really add up! You place a golf-ball- sized piece of cassava flour dough between the two plates, squeeze them shut, and a perfectly round tortilla is formed – easy peasy. We all know that homemade tortillas are way better (and cheaper) than buying the pre-made ones at the store.
This cast aluminum tortilla press is small enough to easily store and is lightweight so you don't have to lug it out yet it still gets the job done.
Pro Tip: Cut parchment paper into a 6″ disk and layer that between the dough and the press for even easier cleanup!
Ready to take your cooking skills to the next level? A really great knife and some basic cutting tips could be the thing that takes you from being a novice cook to chopping vegetables with ease.
Ah, the transformative power of sharpened steel. Whether you're dealing with fruit, vegetables, herbs, or meat, you are going to need to chop, slice, or dice without killing yourself in the kitchen.
The two most important knives in your arsenal are a good-quality chef's knife to tackle the big stuff, a serrated knife to handle breads and tomatoes, and a paring knife that can handle the other little things.
Pro Tip: A good knife should feel comfortable and well balanced in your hand and be weighted enough to take some of the work off of your wrist so that you don't tire easily.
The InstantPot® has been all the rage and I have to admit that it took me a LONG time to get my own. Partly because I'm a rebel and partly because I was afraid of pressure cookers in general because when I was a kid, I heard one explode and I think I had PTSD.
Well my friend and 20 Dishes co-founder, Jessica, convinced me to snag one and I haven't looked back! I call it the Swiss Army Knife of multi-cookers. It's designed to replace your slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker, Dutch oven, and more. Heck, it even browns meat and makes yogurt! Say what?
In case you can't already tell, I'm a gadget girl and being such, I have limited space to store everything. So if a gadget finds a permanent home in my kitchen, it's got to pull its own weight and hopefully do more than just its original task. In fact, I get all tingly when I figure out new uses for gadgets, and ice cream scoops are no exception. What can I say? These are the things that tickle my soul!
So, you want to have a uniform stack of pancakes? Grab that ice cream scoop. It's a great tool for scooping batter onto the griddle.
Making muffins or cookies? Dividing muffin batter or cookie dough evenly can be a bit tricky, which is why I like grabbing my ice cream scoop. I do a scoop into each muffin well to start, so there's less estimating by eye, and I scoop cookie dough directly onto my favorite silicone mat.
Pro Tip: Love meatballs, but don't love the mess they make? Use your ice cream scoop! It allows you to have meatballs that are the same size and shape for even cooking. They also keep my hands clean and make for speedy prep!
A good rimmed baking sheet is something every cook should have in their kitchen. They're one of those essential items, like rolling pins or knife sharpeners. They are a very versatile piece of cookware and can be used for more than you might think.
These work horses work not only for baking cookies and in catching a pie's overflow juices but for savory dishes as well—roasted vegetables, crispy chicken thighs, a whole fish, or toasting nuts. They're also handy for carrying things to other parts of the house, like to my deep freeze, or upstairs when a kid is under the weather.
Pro Tip: Want your food to get crispy instead of stewing in its own juices? The solution is to allow air to circulate all the way around foods that will release liquid while they roast. Fit a wire rack into your sheet tray and proceed with roasting and voila! Crispy exterior!
This non-stick, flexible silicone mat replaces parchment paper and greasy sprays when used in the oven for baking. It also dissipates heat rapidly to prevent burning of cookies or pastries.
Since nothing sticks to silicone baking mats, they are very easy to clean. A quick soap and water clean up is all you need. There is no scrubbing, soaking, or other cleaning hassle.
Pro Tip: I love to use my silicone baking mats to knead dough on. It's great for kneading pizza, bread, or even pie dough. The dough doesn't stick to the mat and, although I still need to use cassava flour to incorporate into the dough, I don't have to worry as much about sticky dough clinging to the kneading surface.
Obviously cutting boards protect your expensive counter top from damage resulting from the sharp edge of the kitchen knife, but they also protect the edge of the knife from damage from the countertop. They can be used to handily move the chopped or cut food to a skillet or pot, keeping most of the mess in a small easy to clean area.
I like a polypropylene board because they are lightweight, inexpensive, and not quite as prone to staining as wood. When nicked, they can be replaced far more inexpensively than wood. They can also be easily sanitized in the dishwasher.
Pro Tip: Dedicated cutting boards—one each for meat, seafood, poultry, and produce—are ideal, but not necessarily practical when space and funds are tight. Just be sure to sanitize your board after working with raw meats or seafood, to avoid cross-contamination.
I hate chopping garlic. It's sticky, it stinks up my cutting board, stinks up my hands, and perfumes anything that comes close to it with its not-always-welcome aroma (think strawberries – ick).
OK, so crushing a clove under a chef knife is not rocket science. The garlic stays in its skin and travels easily from board to pan. Slicing is manageable, but anything beyond a very rough chop is a pain.
The most common garlic-press complaints include that they are "hard to clean" and they "hurt my hands." I'll admit, those old Town Car-style models were tough to grip and required a toothpick to get out all the stuck bits.
But technology and design have improved. A lot. Sturdy ones will not only crush garlic with one squeeze, but its little cleaner will press out the spent peel in one swift reverse motion. Yes, you can put a whole clove in there without peeling. Pinky swear.
A well-stocked kitchen ought to include, at the very least, a vegetable peeler, hand-operated can opener, and a pair of tongs. Tool sets are a great way to ensure you have all the necessary pieces to make your prep-work easier.
Having at least one set of tongs is going to make your prepping and cooking experience so much more pleasurable. They're like an extra set of invincible hands, for when you can't put your own into a vat of hot oil, onto a grill grate, or into a pot of boiling pasta.
Pro Tip: Can't reach something on your top pantry shelf? Grab your tongs and give your arms an Inspector Gadget-like extension.
What about you? What are your favorite kitchen tools? The gadgets you can't live without? Leave a comment below!

Okay, every singer forgets the words at some point. (The tradition of the audience singing the first verse of Hungry Heart without The Boss began when Springsteen forgot the words one night and the audience sung it for him.) But few handle it with the self-deprecating humor and grace of Billy Joel.
His sessions talking about the music business and the songwriting process (on his four-CD live album and on that old Bravo show with the guy from the Actors Studio) are treasures.
Taking a Bad Route to the Ball = 37 Points of Batting Average!
Last week I put up a story explaining what it means for an outfielder to take a great route to a ball.
Byron Buxton is a hot young prospect for the Twins. In this video, watch him reroute himself to his right about four steps before he dives for the ball. His route costs him between six and nine inches in distance, according to a crude diagram and some high school math. He probably also loses a few milliseconds in altering course, and a few more in extra time locating the ball as he readjusts, but let's leave this aside and look just at distance.
No big deal, right, only six to nine inches?
Look at the end of the play. He makes this high-stretch diving catch, which is also high-risk. Another foot deeper and he'd have hit his head on the wall at the end of the dive, as well. He does this because he can't quite reach the ball from a normal running stance.
There's that six to nine inches. The right route, and it's a nice catch, a reach-up grab as he runs toward the warning track, but it's not a highlight-reel catch.
And if the ball had been hit another, say, six inches further, it would have been over his head for at least a double given the route he took.
That's how important this subtle skill is. Even if you were to say the difference is apparent only once every two weeks, that's still the equivalent of 18 points in the batting average (and more in OPS, since we're talking doubles here).
Fun to watch a bit of the old-style Jeopardy (sorry, Jeopardy! with an exclamation mark) with Art Fleming.
Bruce performing Royals! Nah, not a great performance, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime event that speaks to why I try to put as much live music here as I can.

You should add the step of placing the adhesive to the video.
Fast shipping, good product. Tutorial on youtube helps to install it.
Fast shipping, great product. My stock moto G4 camera lense got so scratched up the pictures were coming out blurry. Tried cleaning the lense and nothing worked. Replaced the lense with this new one in less than 15 minutes and now I have crystal clear pictures again! Perfect fitments, the custom little tweezers were a must and made the install so much faster and easier. 100% satisfied!
The lens had shattered on mine and I had been waiting a few months for a fix to arrive on the market. The lens appears to be a good quality replacement and the phone is now taking good photos again. My only reservation is the sticky tape used to fix the lens to the frame. It was quite fiddly to align correctly - I would have preferred glue. Posting to UK was also quick via ePacket - only 10 days from order to delivery.


On September 24, 2001, I reported the deployment of various combat-equipped and combat support forces to a number of locations in the Central and Pacific Command areas of operation. On October 9, 2001, I reported the beginning of combat action in Afghanistan against al-Qaida terrorists and their Taliban supporters. In my reports to the Congress of March 20 and September 20, 2002 and March 20, 2003, I provided supplemental information on the deployment of combat-equipped and combat support forces to a number of foreign nations in the Central and Pacific Command areas of operations and other areas. As a part of my efforts to keep the Congress informed, I am reporting further on United States efforts in the global war on terrorism.
Our efforts in Afghanistan continue to meet with success, but, as I have stated in my previous reports, the United States campaign against terrorism will be lengthy. To date, U.S. Armed Forces, with the assistance of numerous coalition partners, have executed a superb campaign to eliminate the primary source of support to the terrorists who viciously attacked our Nation on September 11, 2001. The heart of al-Qaidas training capability has been seriously degraded. The Talibans ability to brutalize the Afghan people and to harbor and support terrorists has been virtually eliminated. Pockets of al-Qaida and Taliban forces remain a threat to United States and coalition forces and to the Afghan government. What is left of both the Taliban and the al-Qaida fighters is being pursued actively and engaged by United States and coalition forces.
Due to our success in Afghanistan, we have detained hundreds of al-Qaida and Taliban fighters who are believed to pose a continuing threat to the United States and its interests. The combat-equipped and combat support forces deployed to Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the Southern Command area of operations since January 2002 continue to conduct secure detention opera-tions. We currently hold more than 650 enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay.
In furtherance of our worldwide efforts against terrorists who pose a continuing and imminent threat to the United States, our friends and allies, and our forces abroad, we continue operations in other areas around the globe. We continue to work with the Government of the Philippines to protect United States and Philippine citizens and to defeat international terrorism in the Philippines.
We continue to conduct maritime interception operations on the high seas in the Central and European Command areas of respon-sibility and have expanded these efforts to the Pacific Command areas of responsibility to prevent the movement, arming, or financing of international terrorists who pose a continuing threat to the United States.
Combat-equipped and combat support forces also have been deployed to Georgia and Djibouti to assist in enhancing counterterrorism capabilities. The United States forces headquarters element in Djibouti provides command and control support as necessary for military operations against al-Qaida and other international terrorists in the Horn of Africa region, including Yemen. We continue to assess options for working with other nations to assist them in this respect.
I have taken these actions pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct United States foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive. In addition, these actions are consistent with Public Law 107-40. As I stated in my previous reports, it is not possible to know at this time either the duration of combat operations or the scope and duration of the deployment of U.S. Armed Forces necessary to counter the terrorist threat to the United States. I will direct additional measures as necessary to exercise our right to self-defense and to protect United States citizens and interests. Such measures may include short notice deployments of special operations and other forces for sensitive operations in various locations throughout the world.
I am providing this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution and Public Law 107-40. Officials of my Administration and I have been communicating regularly with the leadership and other Members of Congress, and we will continue to do so. I appreciate the continuing support of the Congress in our efforts to protect the security of the United States of America and its citizens, civilian and military, here and abroad.


I bought an E-pass around 3 weeks ago due in part to the promo price they are offering. They are selling these new tags for P999 which I think is a reasonable price. I wasn't able to register and activate it until this afternoon so this review won't be that revealing but I will be updating this post as time goes by.
I guess I will start with the experience I had with the application process. I submitted the application form to the new Epass office at the South-bound Caltex station. I had to wait in line for about an hour before being served. The waiting time was fine I guess so no complaints there.
Activation was done via phone. I called their customer support number and pressed 0 for the operator. I think I had to wait 10-15 minutes before someone answered the phone. I didn't like that of course but I had no choice but to wait. At last, I was able to get the last 6 digits of my account number. I used those information and created an online account for me to check my balances and to be able to reload online. That part was a cinch.
In the following days, I would try out my new epass tag and will update this post further.

Коробка или ящик — негерметичная ёмкость в форме многогранника (чаще всего — прямоугольного параллелепипеда), выполненная из картона или другого плотного материала.

Этимология
Слово образовано от древнерусского короб при помощи суффикса -к. Это понятие в свою очередь связано с необходимостью измерить что-либо (короб дров) или перенести при помощи короба или коробки продукты, различные предметы и пр.

Основные сведения

Обычно в случае тонких и непрочных (например, картонных) стенок используется слово «коробка», а в случае более толстых (например, деревянных) стенок используется слово «ящик». Форма у коробки (ящика) остаётся одинаковой как у пустой коробки, так и у заполненной, что отличает её от мешков и сумок.

Форма прямоугольного параллелепипеда (реже — другого многогранника) отличает коробку (ящик) от ведра, банки, бутыли и тому подобных ёмкостей. Такая форма имеет преимущество, так как экономит место при складировании и перевозке транспортом, учитывая, что соседние ящики (а также комнаты, шкафы, вагоны и так далее) обычно также имеют форму многогранника. С другой стороны, коробки и ящики из-за своей формы неудобны для переноски одним человеком.

Наиболее часто используемые материалы — деревянные доски, картон, бумага, жесть, пластмассы, дюралюминий.

Существуют также устойчивые речевые выражения, например, «чёрный ящик», «коробка передач», обозначающие предметы, которые в настоящее время совершенно не похожи на коробку или ящик, но называются так по историческим причинам.

Коробки и животные
 Широко известна зачастую «непреодолимая» тяга домашних кошек к различным (как правило, картонным) коробкам, невзирая на их размер. Некоммерческая организация  провела эксперимент с коробками над крупными представителями семейства кошачьих, таких как лев, чёрная пантера, тигры, рысь и др. Практически никто не устоял перед соблазном лечь в коробку, и только леопарды побоялись это сделать, поскольку картон дрожал от прикосновения.

Q: Trigger not executing when a Batch Update runs I am using VB.Net 2008 and ADO.Net to do a Batch Update to our Oracle database.
The updates are working, but there is a trigger on the table before the row is updated to enforce a member's termination termination date.
So if I was trying to set the termination date (via the batch update) to 31-Jan-2010 but the member had a claim that was processed on 2-Feb-2010 the trigger would force the termination date to be 2-Feb-2010. However, the trigger is NOT executing when the batch update runs?
Is there any Oracle DB Admin option that would disable Triggers on Batch Update?

A: A direct path load through SQL*Loader can disable and reenable triggers as described here
What does the batch update do. Maybe if it does a DELETE+INSERT, rather than an UPDATE, then the trigger won't fire.

A: The alter trigger command can be used to disable a trigger,
ALTER TRIGGER trigger_name DISABLE

This will show the enabled/disabled status of all triggers,
select trigger_name, status from user_triggers

Orange launches 5G in the most heavily used parts of its French network
Previous Article EU proposes data sharing to break Big Tech's iron grip
Next Article Broadband Forum publishes three new standards to accelerate global 5G adoption
From 3 December, Orange's 5G network will be live in 15 French municipalities including Nice, Marseille, Le Mans, Angers and Clermont Ferrand (pictured).

Belgium 5G auction delayed until end of 2021 at soonest
Orange is to launch 5G in its domestic market of France, starting with 15 cities in early December, which will reach more than 160 municipalities by the end of the year.
Using the 3.5GHz band, 5G is three to four times faster than 4G and is striving to provide the "best possible network quality, even in the densest areas. By contributing to the digitisation of French companies, 5G will also be a powerful lever for competitiveness, thanks to, among other things, connected objects and artificial intelligence".
Benefits all
Stéphane Richard, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the group, declared, "This new technology is a breakthrough innovation that will allow all of our customers, both individuals and businesses, to benefit from unprecedented quality of service and to develop new uses.
"The deployment will be done gradually and in a constructive dialogue with all local authorities, in parallel with our efforts to expand coverage of the French territory in 4G.
"As a responsible operator, Orange is committed to offering the best to its customers to meet their growing connectivity needs, thanks to more efficient technology that is more energy efficient."
Orange secured the biggest share of the frequency on offer at the beginning of October in the 5G spectrum auction.
This 5G deployment focuses mainly on these new 3.5GHz frequencies but may be supplemented by 2.1GHz frequencies, the operator said.
Busiest places
The areas 5G is deployed in first are those that generate the most traffic: between September 2019 and September 2020, data usage on Orange and Sosh tariff plans increased by 40%.
Had the network in these areas not been updated, Orange reckons there was a risk of them being saturated by 2022.
Orange stressed it is continuing 5G efforts in parallel with extending and densifying 4G coverage, with the goal of switching all of Orange's antenna sites in France to 4G by the end of 2020.
The operator launched its four 5G packages on 8 October – details here.

label VOIP
Telecoms is a moving target
By Rachel Greenberg, Tech and telecom writer for www.voipreview.org.
Johannesburg, 23 May 2013
VOIP has been around for almost 20 years now, but it has only really become a popular service in the last 10 years or so. As a result, regulation of VOIP technology has been a little slow to catch up.
According to Infonetics Research, in 2010 there were 157 million VOIP users worldwide. Moreover, by the year 2015, the VOIP industry is expected to have reached $74.5 billion. And recently, legislation in many countries is starting to reflect these industry trends.
However, because there is no real precedent for how the introduction of this new technology should be handled, there are many problems for legislators, as they try to pass laws without settling many of the issues associated with proposed laws.
As a result, popular business and residential VOIP providers are now subject to different laws and limitations all over the world. And this makes it doubly hard for legislators to come up with any cohesive set of laws or definitions by which to regulate service providers.
Wiretapping issues
One of the biggest issues for VOIP providers is in wiretapping. All over the world, lawmakers require that communication providers that represent a certain proportion of the national communications network give police easy access to call interception.
Until recently, there was no good technology that would allow police to easily tap VOIP calls. In addition, VOIP providers were legally protected in the event that they attempted to aid police in tapping calls, but were unsuccessful. As long as they attempted aid, or claimed to attempt aid, they were protected against legal backlash.
However, because VOIP now represents a large part of the worldwide telecoms network, legislators all over the world are pushing for a change to regulations on VOIP providers, so that it would be easier for police to get warrants to tap VOIP calls, and VOIP providers which fail to offer aid would be held liable.
In the US, legislators are currently debating these points, with some Americans raising objections, but as many have pointed out, these regulations will only serve to guarantee that police have the same access to interception of VOIP calls as they do currently of analogue telephone calls. Legislators are not proposing any radical new ideas that differ terribly from interception laws already in effect in America.
Some American industry insiders, however, feel the proposed legal ramifications for VOIP providers will push providers to move their operations to other countries for fear of legal fees should they be unable to provide an effective intercept service.
Problems of simple definitions
This most recent debate over wiretapping laws sits on top of a heap of other more elemental issues in the changing telecoms industry.
For one, many countries have laws that allow the regulation of national telecoms providers such that providers can be taxed and monitored, and customers and competitors can find protection against unfair practices and monopolies. Many feel that because VOIP now represents such a major part of the telecoms industry, VOIP providers, too, should be subject to regulation.
However, for VOIP to be regulated like telecoms, a way to define VOIP would be needed (is it a telecoms service, or an information service like the Internet?), and from there, laws will need to be crafted specifically to fit VOIP so VOIP providers are not forced into parameters that do not fit them.
Once VOIP has found its proper place, it will be easier to implement laws like wiretapping requirements. This will improve the abilities of VOIP providers to introduce their services in new places.
Consequences of missing legislation
In several countries, legislators are striking out against international and national VOIP providers, and in some cases, preventing them from providing services in their countries.
In Gambia, legislators have outlawed all VOIP services because they found the independent operation of VOIP services based out of free public Internet cafes to be a threat to the national telecoms structure, and as such, the operations of these small businesses were determined to represent a threat to the economy.
In the UAE and in France, legislators are concerned over the missing access to interception for police. In France, legislators previously gave warning to Skype and asked it to declare itself a telecoms service so it could be held accountable to wiretapping laws. When Skype ignored the request, French legislators handed off the case to prosecutors, who will determine if Skype can be held accountable for breaking the law.
Similarly, in the UAE, legislators have banned the use of external Skype operators until the issue of the provider's status and subjectivity to wiretapping has been resolved.
This means citizens of these countries do not have access to VOIP services, and will not for the immediate future. However, VOIP is an extremely valuable technology and can open up new opportunities for people all over the world. For example, it has been suggested that VOIP may be a viable option for people living in remote areas. It is difficult to implement traditional copper telephone solutions in remote locations, and VOIP may present a cheap and reliable alternative.
This could mean people who have never or have only rarely had access to telecoms services before can use VOIP to change how they communicate, conduct business, and live their lives.
What will the future bring?
The more people continue to choose VOIP, the more pressure legislators will feel to settle these issues on the regulation of the VOIP service. These issues go hand-in-hand with similar issues about the spread of high-speed Internet services. For as much as many of us rely on Internet services, a relatively small number of people living in the world actually have access to the Internet.
However, high-speed Internet represents a significant advantage for those who have it over those who don't, and as the great significance of these services is realised, the more laws will change to reflect that dependence.
Right now, global companies are experimenting in creating free public WiFi networks and WiFi cities. And as this kind of large-scale WiFi service has become an increasingly realistic option, lawmakers have started to entertain the idea of subsidising the installation of high-speed Internet services. In fact, in some states in the US, legislators have considered removing subsidy money from the repair of analogue landlines and reallocating towards efforts to improve high-speed Internet access.
This increase in consciousness about the importance of Internet services already plays a large part in international discussions on exchange of ideas, privacy, freedom of speech, and cultural disparity. The more clashes are faced across national lines, the more pressing the need for legislation will become.

The Quest to Run a Sub-4 Minute Mile at Age 40
Famiglietti's attempt to run within four seconds of his Mile PR... feels like act of defiance.
By Martin Fritz Huber, Outside Magazine
I used to think that turning 40 was something that only happened to other people. Now that I'm in my mid-30s, I'm starting to steel myself for the inevitable. Not that I'll be investing in an obscene sports car, or anything like that. The economics of online publishing being what they are, I'll probably have to find a less ostentatious way to cling to my vanishing youth. Worst case, I'll start using Snapchat.
Anthony Famiglietti has loftier ambitions. After the two-time Olympic steeplechaser turns 40 this November, he wants to become the fourth man in history to run a sub-4 minute Mile after hitting the big 4-0. (If he can secure the funding, he intends to make a documentary about it called "Age Defiant", which will also feature other athletes who maintained elite-level performances well into their 40s and beyond.) Famiglietti's moonshot Mile is perhaps an unusual way to confront the beast of senescence, but it makes a crazy kind of sense. When you've spent more than half your life constructing your identity around the fact that you can run faster than 99.99 percent of the world's population, it's not easy to let go.
"As an elite athlete you have to come to terms, on a much deeper level, with the slow degradation of your ability," Famiglietti says. "When you see that number, 40, the mid-life crisis, the waking up at night stuff starts to creep in. You take an inventory of what you've achieved and what you haven't."
And Famiglietti's inventory of running accomplishments is nothing to scoff at. In addition to making two U.S. Olympic teams (2004, 2008), he was a dominant presence on the New York City road running scene in the mid-aughts, honing his ability by churning out endless loops in Central Park. According to the IAAF all-time list, Famiglietti's Mile PR (3:55.71, set in 2006) makes him the 388th fastest man in history over the distance. With his 40th birthday looming, Famiglietti wants to substitute that small piece of running immortality for a larger chunk.
"There are seven billion people, but only a thousand and change have ever run a sub-4 minute Mile—that's astonishing. And only three, after 40, have ever gone under four," Famiglietti says.
The three runners who belong in that exclusive latter group are Bernard Lagat, Eamonn Coghlan and Anthony Whiteman. It's worth noting that these Olympians were all 1500 meter specialists at one point in their careers.

PowerSpec 1710 Review
By Andrew E. Freedman 07 December 2017
Editor's Note: We generally don't recommend laptops older than 2 years. For our top picks, check out the Best Laptops, or answer a few simple questions in our Laptop Finder to get personalized recommendations
The PowerSpec 1710 is a great deal on a GTX 1070, but the keyboard is uncomfortable and the audio is poor.
Good price for a GTX 1070
Vibrant display
Solid battery life
Poor audio quality
Uncomfortable keyboard
I'm sure you've noticed that gaming laptops, especially ones with high-end graphics cards, are pricey. But the PowerSpec 1710, exclusively sold at Micro Center, looks like a sweet deal at just $1,399.99, with Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics inside..For the most part,, this is a solid, 17-inch gaming laptop with impressive power, if you can handle shortcomings such as an uncomfortable keyboard and poor audio output. But, hey, you might be able to put up with these trade-offs for the price.
The PowerSpec manages to announce its gaming cred not only with a stereotypical red and dark-gray color scheme, but also with aggressive curves and edges. The chassis appears to be built by a third-party vendor -- perhaps Clevo -- though I haven't identified a specific model. Either way, no one will mistake this for a business notebook.
The aluminum lid features PowerSpec's logo in gray. Two raised curves make it look a bit like a spaceship. On the rear of the device, red plastic grills cover the fans.
The looks are decidedly less exciting on the inside. It's all black, with the exception of two red lights flanking the power button right beneath the 17.3-inch, 1080p display. The island-style keyboard and its RGB backlighting also give a touch of color. The screen is surrounded by a thick bezel, and the inward-pointing bottom is awkward; leaving a space that caught my eye and took me out of my immersion while I was using it.
At 6.8 pounds and an inch thick, the PowerSpec is smaller and lighter than its competitors: the Acer Aspire V 17 Nitro Black Edition (7 pounds, 1 inch thick), HP Omen 17 (8.2 pounds, 1.3 inches thick) and Lenovo Legion Y920 (10.1 pounds, 1.4 inches thick).
The PowerSpec has more ports that I can imagine any reasonable person using. The left side has an HDMI output, a pair of Mini DisplayPorts, Thunderbolt 3 and two USB 3.0 ports. On the right side of the chassis are a lock slot, Ethernet jack, another pair of USB 3.0 ports, an SD card slot and individual headphone, and microphone and optical audio jacks.
The 17.3-inch, 1080p screen on the PowerSpec is luminous and vivid, so games and media will look excellent on it. I watched the trailer for Avengers: Infinity War, and Spider-Man's new armor looked great; the red popped against the darker black sections. In another scene, I could clearly see all of the sweat and grime on Loki's face. Yuck.
The screen also looked good when I played Middle-Earth: Shadow of War; it's bright, and the Orcs' green flesh was bright, especially when surrounded by muddy, swampy forts. I could even make out detailed layers of leather in enemy armor.
The panel covers 119 percent of the sRGB color gamut, which is generally a great number, though the average for desktop replacements is a bit higher, at 129 percent. It ties the Legion (119 percent) and beats the Aspire (118 percent), but the Omen was the most vibrant of the group at 176 percent.
MORE: The Best Laptops for Business and Productivity
The display measured 372 nits of brightness, surpassing the average (288 percent) and the rest of the field: the Aspire (264 nits), Omen (300 nits) and Legion (362 nits).
Keyboard and Touchpad
The PowerSpec offers a mediocre 1.4 millimeters of travel, and it really doesn't feel good. Between that and the 66 grams of actuation necessary to press a key, the whole thing felt flat, and the membrane switches offered little to no feedback.
That shallowness often made me bottom out. On the 10fastfingers.com typing test, I hit 107 words per minute (the bottom of my usual range), but with a very high 8 percent error rate.
The 4.3 x 2.5-inch touchpad is smooth and accurate, though I found the buttons to be a little mushier than I would like. Still, it always responded to simple gestures like pinching-to-zoom and more complex ones, like swiping three fingers down to minimize all of my open programs.
The PowerSpec includes some software that claims to emulate 720-degree surround sound, but it sounded a lot like it was only going into my right ear. When I listened to The Who's "Water," the drums, intentionally twangy vocals, clashing cymbals and guitar were all clear, but I thought I was listening to a mono recording. The same thing happened for numerous other songs. Eventually, I turned the laptop over to find a subwoofer on only the right side of the bottom of the laptop. It was disorienting, but at least it was loud, filling our lab with wall-to-wall sound.
MORE: Best Music Apps for Rocking Out
The audio issues were magnified once I started gaming. When I played Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the orchestral background music blared out one side of the laptop, and rain pattering the dirt didn't sound like it surrounded me. Hearing which side an enemy is coming from can be the difference between victory and loss. At louder volumes, the speakers were shrieky. . I recommend getting a headset if you use this laptop.
The aforementioned software, Sound Blaster Connect, has presets for gaming, cinema, music concerts and even for specific video games like Battlefield 1, Overwatch and DOTA 2. But they all sounded similar, so I wouldn't recommend messing with it too much.
Gaming, Graphics and VR
With an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU and 8GB of VRAM tucked inside, the PowerSpec 1710 does an admirable job playing the latest and greatest games. When I played Middle-earth: Shadow of War, the game ran between 76 and 94 frames per second on the very high preset and between 67 and 78 fps on ultra.
The computer ran the Hitman benchmark (108p, utra) at 60 fps, falling below the 82-fps average, the Omen (104 fps) and the Legion (107 fps), and just shy of the Aspire (62 fps) -- all of which have GTX 1070 GPUs.
On Rise of the Tomb Raider (1080p, Very High), it rendered at 55 fps, surpassing the 51-fps average, the Omen (52 fps) and the Aspire (37 fps). Only the Legion did better (59 fps).
MORE: The Best Gaming Laptops
During the Grand Theft Auto V test (1080p, Very High), it ran at 60 fps, falling behind the 65-fps average and the Legion (72 fps), but outperforming the Aspire (51 fps) and the Omen (58 fps).
Have an Oculus Rift or HTC Vive? Plug them right in. The PowerSpec did exceptionally well on the SteamVR Performance test, with a score of 10.9 (just shy of the max 11), beating the average (9.5), the Legion (10.6), the Omen (10.5) and the Aspire (7.2).
The PowerSpec 1710 comes armed with a 2.8-Ghz Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB NVMe SSD and a 1TB, 7,200-rpm HDD. With their powers combined, you get some strong performance. I had 25 tabs open, including one streaming a 1080p episode of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," without any slowdown at all.
On Geekbench 4, it earned a score of 14,138, which is higher than the desktop-replacement average (12,929), the Aspire (13,333, Core i7-7700HQ) and the Legion (14,051, Core i7-7820HK), but lower than the Omen (14,306, Core i7-7700HQ).
The PowerSpec took 13 seconds to copy 4.97GB of files, or 391.5 megabytes per second. That's slower than the average (438.6 MBps), as well as the Omen (565 MBps) and Legion (636.2 MBps), but speedier than the Aspire (231.3MBps).
It took the gaming laptop 3 minutes and 18 seconds to pair 20,000 names and addresses in the OpenOffice spreadsheet macro. That's faster than average (3:25) as well as the Legion (3:48) and Aspire (3:19). Only the Omen was quicker (3:13).
If you're lugging this 17 incher somewhere, you can feel safe knowing that it lasts slightly longer than its competitors. The PowerSpec ran for 5 hours and 55 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which continuously browses the web over Wi-Fi. \
MORE: Laptops with the Longest Battery Life
That's longer than the desktop-replacement average (4:32) as well as the Omen (2:18), Legion (4:32) and Aspire (5:30).
This laptop stays nice and cool during everyday use. After streaming 15 minutes of HD video, the PowerSpec measured 85 degrees Fahrenheit on the underside, 82 degrees at the center of the keyboard and 77 degrees on the touchpad -- all well below our 96-degree comfort threshold.
But while I played Shadow of War, the bottom climbed to 122 degrees, the touchpad jumped to 80 degrees and the center of the keyboard reached 108 degrees.
There's a 1080p embedded in the PowerSpec's top bezel, and it's pretty solid. In a photo I took in our office, it accurately captured the hairs on my head and even the varying shades of red in my colleague Mike's shirt, and he was sitting about 10 feet away.
In an environment with better lighting, you could consider streaming without an external webcam.
Software and Warranty
There isn't a ton of software included on the PowerSpec 1710, especially for a gaming laptop. The only meaningful gaming utility is called GameFeet, which combines macro recording, recording the frequency of key presses and controlling the RGB backlighting on the keyboard. Strangely, this wasn't listed in the start menu and had to be activated with a keyboard shortcut.
Otherwise, the preloaded software is all the bloat that you'll usually find with Windows 10, including Plex, Keeper, Drawboard PDF, Candy Crush Soda Saga, Bubble Witch 3 Saga and March of Empires: War of Lords.
The PowerSpec 1710 is available only at Micro Center. The store sells the laptop with a one-year warranty.
If you're looking for a great deal on a laptop with a GTX 1070 GPU, the PowerSpec 1710 is worth a serious look, as other laptops with the same GPU can cost a few hundred dollars more.
But there's a reason you're getting that relatively low price. The PowerSpec has some sharply cut corners and it's not from a major gaming laptop manufacturer. The ill-placed subwoofer makes for one-sided sound and the keyboard is uncomfortable to use. You do, however, still get an awesome screen.
If you're looking for a better gaming laptop in this price range, your next best bet is the Acer Aspire V17 Nitro Black Edition, which you can buy for $1,269, but you'll get the GeForce GTX 1060, which, while powerful and VR ready, is still a significant step down.
Otherwise, your best bet is the HP Omen 17, where a similar configuration will cost $1,700. But you will be boosted up to a 2TB HDD, 32GB of RAM and a GTX 1070.
If you can live with its drawbacks, though, the PowerSpec 1710 gives you GTX 1070 graphics at a really good price.

Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy is one of those books that every functioning adult should read. To say this book had an impact on me is selling it short. Without a doubt, it is the book I recommend the most to people. Here's the author's site about the book.
Stevenson has a no-nonsense way of presenting the facts, the story and his point of view on all of it. Maybe it's his training as a lawyer. Maybe it's his up bringing. Maybe he's just thought about race, relations, the law, the South, poor people, or history more than anyone else and has been mired in the good and the bad since he first went to work.
Just Mercy shines the light on the injustice (true injustice) that goes on these days. I won't take the time to spout trends and numbers at you, but the real world (and recent!) story Stevenson shares about wrongly imprisoned people will wake you up. These things are not from the 1950's, they are current issues.
I have to admit that when I first heard of Stevenson's and the Equal Justice Initiative's plans for a memorial on lynching – I didn't get it. I honestly didn't. But now that I've read his book, I totally get it.
Regardless of your experience with the law and race issues, regardless of your stance and opinions, regardless of what you think of poor people – this country must talk about it. We must listen to each other and decide what's best for everyone.
Just Mercy is the best place I know of to get started. I hope you will take the time to give this book a read.
Five out of five stars and I'm recommending this book to anyone with a heartbeat.
These days the celebrity memoir is usually soething to be avoided. However, Carol Burnett's In Such Good Company is a breath of fresh air to the category and one not one for fans to miss.
I grew up watching the Carol Burnett Show with my family and there are a still a handful of lines that get mentioned and quoted at various family events. Some of the sketches from the show have achieved iconic status and it was fun to read the stories behind these moments.
The book reads almost as if Carol herself stopped by the house for a visit and is just swapping stories. Because, if you watched the show, you will remember every episode, every character and every actor she brings up.
I'm not sure what the difference is between this show and the funny shows I watch on tv these days. I mean I still laugh at what's on, but while I was reading In Such Good Company I was smiling so big and laughing at just the memories of laughing. I have to admit, it was a little weird, but so good.
The book was really about the show and stories behind the episodes they did. So there's no 'tell all' or drama or gossip, which is quite refreshing. It's charming, classy and full of memories.
I don't think they make television stars and personalities like Carol Burnett anymore, which is a shame. I'm glad there are re-runs and I'm glad to have read this book. I know a few folks in my family that will enjoy it too.
I am very thankful for having read this Life on the Edge. And 100% of that thanks goes to the authors. While I can not say I agree (or even understand) everything they brought forth, they did so in a very "common sense" manner that I appreciated.
At times, when reading Life on the Edge, it felt more like a conversation than a lecture. Which is not how a lot of science books I pick up often feel. They both must have a natural knack for explaining things. And even though their own certainty and mastery of the subject is apparent (and well researched) their sense of wonder of the biological systems and bodies around them still comes through their writing.
Quantum physics, quantum effects, quantum mechanics seem to be ingrained not only in our physical universe but also through all of nature and biology. The passages about the brain and neurons and the whole system is very fascinating.
I was surprised how much ink was spent on the "why" of the ideas in the book. That is until I fully realized how new and forward thinking their ideas are. Hopefully others will write more in this area as new discoveries are made.
I have a new appreciation for nature and all of the amazing too-small-to-see processes that happen. Processes that labs can't replicate. Processes that scientists can witness but not explain. All very very cool.
I still have tons of new vocabulary words I need to look up. I give this book three out of five stars and am recommending to every one I know that has read folks like Bill Bryson and Bryan Greene.
Well, another year is in the bag. My year finished fast and great. I hope yours did too. Right around the end of the summer life put its foot on the gas and it took off with a roar, but thanks to the folks at work, my family and some wonderful book finds, I'm feeling good heading into 2016.
I just wanted to share a few highlights and recommended reads. If you get the chance, please share something you read this year that you think I'd enjoy. I'm always looking out for something new-to-me.
if laid end-to-end, these pages stretch 0.0003% of the distance to the moon.
and, the value of their weight in gold is currently $203,351,975.
Also, if stacked on top of each other (end-to-end) then my 2015 list would be taller than Stonehenge.
That's a pretty good year for me.
I also track where I "first heard of a book". I've been doing this for a couple of years and it's the first time that "Podcasts" came in at #1. "From Friends" dropped to #3 and "Blogs" is #2. I think this means I need to get out more.
I was also a very "current reader" as (when averaged) most of my books were only 2 years old when I read them. This is something I'm going to change in 2016.
Without a doubt the best book I read this year was Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy. It impacted me more than anything else I read and it is the book I most recommended last year.
Anyway, please share any 2015 finds you had. And most importantly – Happy New Year to you and yours!

Bonus CineFiles: Nightmares, Frozen Kiss and Miral!
Mark Hartley's incredibly seminal 2008 documentary Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild Untold Story of Ozploitation, about the '70s/'80s Australian exploitation film scene, has been a boon to the pocketbook of many a genre fan. Numerous badly duped bootlegs have flown off convention tables at an alarming rate, with people anxious to see these lost treasures. Thankfully, Severin Films has firmly taken the reins, delivering top-notch, high-quality, uncut prints of classic Ozploitation flicks, including the John Lamond slasher classic Nightmares. While others compare it to Halloween, I see more of an Italian giallo influence, with a faceless killer stabbing the entire cast of a local theater production — with a shard of glass, no less. Is it the snarling, limping critic? The fresh-faced newcomer actor? The perfectionist director? Or the frigid actress who, as a child, witnessed her mom cheating on her dad, and then accidentally killed her? I'll let you solve that one, Sherlock.
My car once broke down in the middle of an ice storm, with the doors frozen shut. I had to wait in the zero-degree temps all night, counting the snowflakes until a kindly snowplow came by to offer assistance. It was all right; I didn't freeze to death, and actually slept like a rock for a few hours. Sure I was cold, but I wasn't a crybaby about it. Also, I didn't have a heaping helping of meth beforehand, like the two utterly unlikable protagonists of Frozen Kiss did. Young lovers Shelley and Ryan are a couple of true scumbags: Ryan left his wife and baby to be with Shelley, while Shelley's boyfriend shot himself in the face when he found out about her infidelities. After a night of insane partying, this dynamically dumb duo finds themselves broken down and tripping balls. Their friends and family search for them, but every part of you hopes they don't reach them in time. Every. Part.
Have you ever watched a Nazi propaganda film? They were masters of propaganda. In those films, the Jews were, of course, the cause of every single one of Germany's ills, portrayed as money-grubbing hedonist slobs. The hardworking Aryans, meanwhile, were just doing their best to rid Germany of this menace, the Nazi solider leading the way as the highest ideal possible. Miral is this generation's Der Ewige Jude, so in-your-face anti-Semitic that it, at times, feels like a parody of a propaganda film. Miral is, for all intents and purposes, a blatant hit piece on Israel, presenting the Palestinian people as pure, innocent, oppressed freedom fighters who are under the tyrannical thumb of the evil Jewish conspiracy. Jews are, like they were in Nazi films, presented as slovenly rapists and degenerates, violent thugs who take great pleasure in the destruction of Palestine and its people. Miral left me sad more than anything else.


I was scrolling through pinterest as per usual and I saw a pin on something called an "every damn day list" that intrigued me as I firstly love lists and secondly I am always looking for different ways to increase my productivity; especially on the days my mental health has taken a nose dive! The original post can be found here but I will quote the original post here too.
What I liked about this idea is that it is a list of small things that take less than 15 minutes and will make you feel productive no matter how unproductive your day has been. This would be especially good for someone who struggles to get out of bed, eat, drink or just in general doesn't want to do the small things for whatever reason. I think it is a great idea and I thought about mine for awhile but this is how Sarah from Yes and Yes explains how to do it!
Every item that goes on your list should be tiny; almost laughably easy!
drink 3 glasses of water a day – now as an ostomate hydration is highly important and it is just generally good for you!
Thank you to Sarah for creating this idea because I think it is very useful for people to feel productive; as productivity and being productive is in the eye of the beholder and when you struggle with mental health every little thing can seem like a chore so hopefully this will help others.

It's hot. Texas hot. Looking at a map, one says to oneself "by all rights, states up here should not be as hot as states down there." Right? Dang.
The Somegarden is doing well aside from some blossom-end rot on my Japanese Black Trifele tomatoes. None of the other varieties have been affected so far and I've been growing these for the past 3 years without this problem, so I guess these guys need more calcium than my soil can provide them. I'll need to work some bone meal in there this weekend.
A number of cukes are on the way, as well as zucchini, corn, beans, beets, potatoes and a jungle's worth of tomatoes. In the meantime, we've picked about 12 Shanti hot peppers so far and yowzers, they are as advertised. Oh and kale, lots of kale. Sigh. They do make nice chips if you're so inclined. Good recipe here.
