Alloinay est, depuis le , une commune nouvelle française située dans le département des Deux-Sèvres en région Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

Géographie
La commune nouvelle regroupe les communes de Gournay-Loizé et des Alleuds, qui deviennent des communes déléguées, le . Son chef-lieu se situe à Gournay-Loizé.

La création de la commune nouvelle entraine également la suppression du statut de commune associée pour Loizé, qui s'est regroupée le  en fusion-association, par arrêté préfectoral du , avec Gournay pour former l'actuelle commune déléguée de Gournay-Loizé.

Localisation

Distance (en kilomètres) entre Alloinay et les plus grandes villes de France.

Géologie et relief

Altitude : minimale 99 m, maximale 171 m, moyenne 135 m.

Hydrographie

Climat
Le climat qui caractérise la commune est qualifié, en 2010, de « climat océanique franc », selon la typologie des climats de la France qui compte alors huit grands types de climats en métropole. En 2020, la commune ressort du type « climat océanique » dans la classification établie par Météo-France, qui ne compte désormais, en première approche, que cinq grands types de climats en métropole. Ce type de climat se traduit par des températures douces et une pluviométrie relativement abondante (en liaison avec les perturbations venant de l'Atlantique), répartie tout au long de l'année avec un léger maximum d'octobre à février.

Les paramètres climatiques qui ont permis d'établir la typologie de 2010 comportent six variables pour les températures et huit pour les précipitations, dont les valeurs correspondent à la normale 1971-2000. Les sept principales variables caractérisant la commune sont présentées dans l'encadré ci-après.

Avec le changement climatique, ces variables ont évolué. Une étude réalisée en 2014 par la Direction générale de l'Énergie et du Climat complétée par des études régionales prévoit en effet que la  température moyenne devrait croître et la pluviométrie moyenne baisser, avec toutefois de fortes variations régionales. Ces changements peuvent être constatés sur la station météorologique de Météo-France la plus proche, « Hanc », sur la commune de Valdelaume, mise en service en 1977 et qui se trouve à  à vol d'oiseau, où la température moyenne annuelle est de  et la hauteur de précipitations de  pour la période 1981-2010.
Sur la station météorologique historique la plus proche, « Niort », sur la commune de Niort, mise en service en 1958 et à , la température moyenne annuelle évolue de  pour la période 1971-2000 à  pour 1981-2010, puis à  pour 1991-2020.

Urbanisme

Typologie
Alloinay est une commune rurale, car elle fait partie des communes peu ou très peu denses, au sens de la grille communale de densité de l'Insee.
La commune est en outre hors attraction des villes.

Risques majeurs
Le territoire de la commune de Alloinay est vulnérable à différents aléas naturels : météorologiques (tempête, orage, neige, grand froid, canicule ou sécheresse), mouvements de terrains et séisme (sismicité modérée). Il est également exposé à un risque technologique,  le transport de matières dangereuses. Un site publié par le BRGM permet d'évaluer simplement et rapidement les risques d'un bien localisé soit par son adresse soit par le numéro de sa parcelle.

Risques naturels

Les mouvements de terrains susceptibles de se produire sur la commune sont des tassements différentiels. Le retrait-gonflement des sols argileux est susceptible d'engendrer des dommages importants aux bâtiments en cas d'alternance de périodes de sécheresse et de pluie. 70,8 % de la superficie communale est en aléa moyen ou fort (54,9 % au niveau départemental et 48,5 % au niveau national). Depuis le , en application de la loi ELAN, différentes contraintes s'imposent aux vendeurs, maîtres d'ouvrages ou constructeurs de biens situés dans une zone classée en aléa moyen ou fort.

La commune a été reconnue en état de catastrophe naturelle au titre des dommages causés par les inondations et coulées de boue survenues en 1982, 1983, 1999 et 2010 et par des mouvements de terrain en 1999 et 2010.

Toponymie

Alloinay
Alloinay est un néo-toponyme formé d'après des parties de nom de chacune des trois anciennes communes qui composent la commune nouvelle :
Les Alleuds, Loizé, et Gournay.

Les Alleuds
Ce nom apparaît en 1120 sous la forme Alodus.

L'alleu désignait un domaine héréditaire exempt de toute redevance, un des piliers du droit féodal, à l'opposé donc du fief. Les alleutiers, paysans indépendants, disparurent au XIIe siècle.

Mot d'origine germanique, probablement francique : alue au XIIe ou XIe siècle, qui provient du germanique alōd « alleu », alod « complètement libre », francique alôd « pleine propriété », issus du francique al « tout » et ôd « bien ». Transcrit alodis dans la Loi salique et allodium dans la Loi des Longobards.

Gournay
Ce nom apparaît en 1021 sous la forme Gurdiniacus, puis Gornayum en 1300. Il s'agit d'un nom d'homme gallo-romain *Gordinus, dérivé du nom gaulois Gordus, avec le suffixe -acum à valeur adjectivale.

Loizé
Ce nom apparaît en 1300 sous la forme Loyssé ou Leyssé.

Il s'agit d'un nom d'homme latin Lausius ou Lautius, avec le suffixe -acum à valeur adjectivale.

You know when people say, "WOW, where did time go? I blinked and an entire year went by!' Those statements never really resonate with me. I always feel like time DOES fly by, but it has been SO full of new experiences, amazing opportunities, and incredible people that I wanted to start off by saying that I am incredibly grateful for the community that surrounds RX Ashlee and the hundreds of men and women looking to make a change in their personal and professional lives.
I had a VERY clear roadmap! Gone are the days where I set vague professional plans for what my year will hopefully look like. As I get deeper into the weeds of my business and more clear on what I define what success as, I am forcing myself to set clearer limits and boundaries for not only myself but also with where I want to take my career and my business.
So - here's the realization I came to after thinking about my 2019 goals: sometimes, setting specific goals doesn't really mean anything to me. What I've found to be the most valuable is creating a crystal clear vision for myself and creating specific steps that will lead me to accomplish my goal – and, let's be real, those steps may end up being MORE critical and important than the actual goal itself.
In this blog, I'll be giving you some insider tips on setting #goals and how we should actually be changing our mindset in order to THRIVE in 2019.
I think the phrase "setting goals" is overused, too vague, and not clearly defined.
When it comes to planning out a year, it's important to start off with your specific intentions for the year.
First, set the intention that this 2019 YEAR WILL BE THE BEST YEAR EVER! This goes beyond the usual resolutions that we pledge at the start of the year: lose weight, start eating a better diet, save money, blah blah blah.
Instead, you will want to create a strategy and a plan that will lead you to accomplish your goals and feel like your intentions were true to yourself and the future you envision.
It can be tempting to over-engineer this planning process by making idealized goals that sound good to the ear, but ultimately may lead to more stress than success.
Think of this time as your opportunity to create three different categories of goals: Immediate, short-term, and long-term goals.
For each one, ask yourself: what steps are you willing to take every. single. day to be able to achieve it?
Having a clear definition of your goals, and a ladder to ensure you are taking the appropriate steps, is very critical to ensuring your big goals are obtained.
From there, you'll want to note that you'll be "reaching out to X prospects a week to close Y new deals every month." And THAT will be how you specifically can measure the success of your processes, which should lead to 2019 closing out with you having reached that goal.
The best goals you can set for yourself will be challenging, attainable, and measurable all at once – so you'll need to take the time to really plan your moves and make sure they happen!
Think of these are individual steps in a ladder, which will ultimately help you reach the top and accomplish your big goals for the year. Some people also like to think of micro goals are milestones, which clearly mark how much progress you've made.
Micro goals are extremely specific and should allow you to clearly measure their success and how much closer you've come to reaching your big goals.
As I mentioned above, it is KEY that you add in a very specific level of detail to each of your goals and how you're going to accomplish them. How many of us have resolved to lose weight or save money, only to end the year without any progress being made? In those cases, it's likely that you didn't set up specific micro goals and worked the steps you need to take into your schedule in order to make it happen.
Ultimately, micro goals are going to give you the BOOST you need to be SUCCESSFUL. They motivate you each and every day by getting the ball rolling on those big goals, keep up the momentum for the rest of your work, and create a clear path to achieving what it is you want to achieve.
Similar to having your own unique definition of success, defining a REALLY strong goal is really up to you. The power is all in your hands, and 2019 can be your best year so far – or it can be more of the same.
Chances are, if you're reading this blog, you're looking to change things up and make this new year even BETTER than before.
1) challenging, 2) attainable, 3) measurable.
Write out the nitty-gritty details and make sure that your smaller goals all lead to your BIGGER goals. There should be DOZENS of small goals in comparison to your bigger end-goals simply because they should all be funneling into each other.
And, if you really want to make sure your goals are attainable and "good," you can always reach out to your support system for advice!
Speaking from experience, the BEST way to make sure you achieve all of your goals in the new year is by creating a SUPPORT SYSTEM that is rooted in accountability and honesty.
This year, I made sure that I created a team that was aligned with my vision and goals – but that they'll also speak up and hold me accountable.
I pushed myself past my limits. I tried new things. I got to take my career to a totally elevated level. I worked with the most AWESOME people. And I participated in multiple events all because the people I was surrounded by were ALL holding me accountable to my word.
Working with people who will hold you accountable for your goals is HUGE.
I am in multiple mastermind groups, some focused ONLY in pharmacy, so that I can talk pharmacy talk with them, bounce ideas around, and they GET me.
On top of that, the strongest group that I identify with are entrepreneurs. These people are the BUSINESS PEOPLE who can give me amazing feedback, soul-to-soul talks, and advice even when I am feeling totally lost.
Chances are that without the support from my Content Manager, Nancy, I would never be pushing out new material as much as I do. The podcasts would not be happening if it weren't for the Founder and Content Creator of the Pharmacist Podcast Network, Todd. As well as my intern, Michael, who keeps The RX Buzz organized and functioning like a well-oiled machine. My two books would NOT be getting written or published if it was not for my co-author, Joanna Lewis (also stay tuned on our book!). My presentations would be procrastinated on until the very last minute if it was not for my business coach, Danielle.
Also, most importantly, my clients are seeing the BEST results from their businesses and careers because I am that person holding them accountable to their own goals, dreams, visions, and desires… it is A HUGE CYCLE HERE.
Get my point? Someone is always pushing me (and my clients!) to get to the next level. Leveling up is not something I recommend trying without some sort of a support group.
Here's the thing, though, our support systems may not always be our friends and family. In fact, they may not even be in the same city or country as us! Instead of focusing exclusively on the people in our immediate circle, we need to get more comfortable with reaching out for support on the web if we need it.
Some people find that being extremely detail-oriented can help them measure their successes. For others, they're seeking a feeling that will let them know they've reached their goals.
My personal opinion is that we should always keep track of what we are doing in each role.
This is not just true for job seekers, it's true for EVERYONE because you need data to measure success and data talks.
Want that raise? You need to be able to ARTICULATE to your boss or manager the things you've been doing and the value you've added, not just that you've vaguely met all of your goals.
Everyone manages this differently. Whether it is crossing off items on your "To Do" list, having different colors in your planners, or entering actual data points into a spreadsheet, it's important to monitor how you're actually spending your time AND how it's paying off.
Personally, I am trying to be more intentional with my time. So, ensuring that I set a specific calendar week-by-week and day-by-day helps me make sure that I accomplish the tasks that I am supposed to and that whatever is in front of me is CRITICAL to launching my new business.
Remember: DATA SPEAKS. So keep track of everything you do, reflect on it frequently, and find the right methods of measuring success for each of your goals.
One of the biggest reasons that people get sidetracked from their goals is the fact that we're ALL prone to falling off the wagon from time to time. You get caught up in different priorities: family life, personal life, different projects, travel requirements, etc.
Sure, you may start the year off going to the gym 5 days a week or working on your book 3 hours every day, but the SECOND something else comes up – we fall off the wagon.
Suddenly, getting up at 5 am every weekday to go to the gym is impossible. And working on your book falls to the wayside once other responsibilities pipe back up.
This is precisely why PRIORITIES ARE CRITICAL here. Unfortunately, at any given time, one of your priorities may be demanding more of your attention than another one (insert kids here!). In a few weeks, maybe the responsibility that had to take a temporary backseat will rotate back into your "To Do" list.
When this happens, which it probably will, it's important to give yourself the space to step away from the hustle of achieving your goals, or the guilt of not getting stuff done, and REFLECT.
Think back on your original plan, adjust what needs to get done, and don't let anxiety, guilt, or anything else hold you back any longer. Remember the perseverance principle and how much you can help yourself by simply LIVING and BREATHING the ups and downs of your journey toward a goal.
If you have set attainable goals with the right support systems in place, you should be able to achieve your goals even if you fell off the wagon once or twice.
Whether you're setting goals to start 2019 off on the right foot, or a mid-year rejuvenation (depending on when you're reading this), it's never too late to revisit your goals and get the right system in place to make sure you're successful!

Q: Default type for object pointed by an integer constant Given a memory address of ADDR_X where I have dedicated hw registers with some values, does address type-casting it will violate strict aliasing?
//lets use some arbitrary address for the sake of this example
#define ADDR_X 0xE0F0

void function(void)
{
    some_structure_type *my_struct_ptr = (some_structure_type *)ADDR_X;

    my_struct_ptr->a_field = 1;

    ...
}

Is there a default type for object pointed by an integer constant in which the casting to pointer to some_structure_type violates? is this code well defined by the standard (given the fact that the address is aligned to the structure size and no padding within the structure)?

A:
Is there a default type for object pointed by an integer constant

No - partly because integer constants don't point to anything.
Pointers point to things, and pointers have types, and aliasing applies when you have pointers of different types pointing at the same storage.
You only show one pointer here, of type some_structure_type*, so that location has one name, one type, and no aliases. The fact that the address is also stored in an int (or intptr_t or whatever) doesn't associate another type with it.
You can read a description of the strict aliasing requirements here, but loosely, the practical problem occurs when you're writing to and reading from the same address through pointers of incompatible types, because the optimizer is allowed to assume you didn't do this.
That means that even if you did have another pointer of incompatible type to the same location, it wouldn't be a problem unless you're storing through one pointer and loading through the other. Neither an integer constant, nor a char* or void* count as a "pointer of incompatible type" anyway.

The Christians of Iran
Christianity in Iran has a long history, dating back to the early years of the faith. It is older than the State Religion, Islam itself. It has always been a minority religion, with the majority state religions Zoroastrianism before the Islamic conquest, Sunni Islam in the Middle Ages and Shia Islam in modern times though it had a much larger representation in the past than it does today.
Iranian-Armenians, are Iranian citizens who are ethnically Armenian. They are mostly concentrated in Tehran, Tabriz and Jolfa district, Isfahan, and an estimated 150,000 - 300,000 currently reside in Iran. The Iranian-Armenians were very influential and active in the modernization of Iran during the 19th and 20th centuries. After the Iranian Revolution, many Armenians emigrated to Armenian diasporic communities in North America and Western Europe. Today the Armenians are Iran's largest Christian religious minority.
Iranian Assyrians, are an ethnoreligious and linguistic minority in present-day Iran. The Assyrians of Iran are Eastern Rite Christians belonging mostly to the Assyrian Church of the East and, to a lesser extent, to the Chaldean Catholic Church. They share a common identity, rooted in shared linguistic and religious traditions, with Assyrians in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East, as well as with the Assyrian diaspora. The Assyrian community in Iran numbered approximately 200,000 prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, after the revolution many Assyrians left the country, primarily for the United States. the Assyrian population in Iran range from 32,000 (as of 2005) to 50,000 (as of 2007).The Iranian capital, Tehran, is home to the majority of Iranian Assyrians, approximately 15,000 Assyrians reside in northern Iran, in Orumiyeh and various Assyrian villages in the surrounding area.

Q: Why does the trick to remember the trigonometric table work? When I was first introduced to trigonometric ratios, I learned the following trick to remember the trigonometric table of standard angles ($0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$):

Sine: Take the numbers $0$, $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ for each angle $0^\circ$, $30^\circ$, $45^\circ$, $60^\circ$, $90^\circ$. Divide each number by $4$ and take the square root of the result. This will give the $\sin$ ratio of each corresponding angle.

Tangent: Take the numbers $0$, $1$, $3$, $9$ for each angle $0^\circ$, $30^\circ$, $45^\circ$, $60^\circ$. Divide each number by $3$ and take the square root of the quotient. This will give the $\tan$ ratio of each corresponding angle. (Note that $\tan90^\circ$ is undefined)

For example if we want to find the value of $\sin60^\circ$, we divide $3$ by $4$ and take the square root of $\frac34$. Then we get the result $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ which is indeed the value of $\sin60^\circ$.
This two tricks allow to remember the whole trigonometric table using the relation of $\sin$ and $\tan$ with other trigonometric ratios. I think the trick is well-known.
My question is that why do these tricks work? Are they kind of coincidence (which is highly unlikely)? I can prove the trigonometric ratios individually. For example, I can prove geometrically that $\sin60^\circ$ is equal to $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$.

A: Of course it's not just coincidence.
The angles $0^\circ,$ $30^\circ,$ $45^\circ,$ $60^\circ,$ and $90^\circ$
are "standard angles" precisely because
they are easy to express as exact numbers of degrees
and they have relatively simple expressions for sine and cosine
compared to other such angles.
The angle $30^\circ$ is nice because it is one of the angles of the right triangles that you get when you cut an equilateral triangle into two right triangles.
Half of one side of the equilateral triangle becomes a leg of a right triangle and another side becomes the hypotenuse,
and as a result it's easy to see that $\sin(30^\circ) = \frac12.$
The square root part of the trick comes from the Pythagorean Theorem.
If one acute angle of a triangle is $\theta,$ the other angle is $90^\circ - \theta,$
and it follows that
$$ (\sin(\theta))^2 + (\sin(90^\circ - \theta))^2 = 1. $$
Let $\theta = 45^\circ,$ and then $90^\circ - \theta$ is also $45^\circ$,
so $(\sin(\theta))^2$ added to itself is $1.$
It follows that $(\sin(45^\circ))^2 = \frac12.$
Let $\theta = 30^\circ$; we already found that $\sin(30^\circ) = \frac12,$
so $(\sin(30^\circ))^2 = \frac14.$
But then $90^\circ - \theta$ is $60^\circ,$
so $(\sin(30^\circ))^2 + (\sin(60^\circ))^2 = 1.$
That implies that $(\sin(60^\circ))^2 = \frac34.$
Obviously $\sin(0^\circ) = 0$ and $\sin(90^\circ) = 1.$
So now we have found five simple-to-describe angles whose sines, when squared,
happen to produce the numbers $0, \frac14, \frac12, \frac34, 1.$
That sequence of numbers can also be written
$\frac04, \frac14, \frac24, \frac34, \frac44.$
The middle three values are in arithmetic sequence, of course, because the equation derived from the Pythagorean Theorem ensures that
$(\sin(45^\circ - \delta)),$ $(\sin(45^\circ)),$ and $(\sin(45^\circ + \delta))$
will be in sequence for any $\delta,$ in this case $\delta = 15^\circ.$
But it happens that all five values are in arithmetic sequence
-- due entirely to the fact that
$(\sin(30^\circ))^2$ is exactly half of $(\sin(45^\circ))^2,$
which is the only "coincidental" fact in the derivation of this sequence --
and you can turn them into a sequence of consecutive integers by applying the
necessary scaling, in this case multiplying by $4.$
So that's where that "trick" comes from.
For the tangents, we know the tangent is the ratio of sine and cosine,
and the cosine of an angle $\theta$ is just the sine of $90^\circ - \theta,$
so the square of the tangent is a ratio of squares:
$$ (\tan(\theta))^2 = \frac{(\sin(\theta))^2}{(\sin(90^\circ - \theta))^2}. $$
Plugging in what we already know about the sines of the "standard angles," we find that $(\tan(0^\circ))^2 = 1,$ $(\tan(30^\circ))^2 = \frac13,$
$(\tan(45^\circ))^2 = 1,$ and $(\tan(60^\circ))^2 = 3.$
All of these tangent values are integers already except for $\frac13,$ so if we just multiply by $3$ we have all integers again.
But the integers $0,1,3,9$ are not in any particularly nice sequence;
not consecutive, certainly, not arithmetic, not even a geometric sequence (because of the $0$).
The last three entries are in geometric sequence, of course, because in general
$\tan(\theta) = 1/\tan(90^\circ - \theta),$ from which it easily follows that
the three tangent values
$\tan(45^\circ - \delta),$ $\tan(45^\circ),$ and $\tan(45^\circ + \delta)$
will always be in geometric sequence,
and therefore so will their squares.
When I compare the effort of memorizing the two (different) sequences for sine and tangent (are we really supposed to find it so "simple" to remember the sequence $0,1,3,9$?), plus the effort of memorizing the two (different) scaling factors (divide by $4$ and divide by $3$ -- why?), plus the effort of remembering to take square roots at the correct step in the procedure, versus the effort of drawing a $45^\circ$ right triangle and a $60^\circ$ right triangle and applying the Pythagorean Theorem to assign lengths to all the sides of both triangles (in one case, $1,1, \sqrt2$,
in the other $1,\sqrt3,2$) and then just reading off all the angle functions via SOHCAHTOA, I'm not particularly impressed by the "trick."
Both methods take some work but the non-"trick" method seems much more natural and involves a lot less memorization of facts that you can never use elsewhere.

The real "trick" is in getting us to believe that these particular angles are the angles we should care about.
Why should the angles be $0^\circ,$ $30^\circ,$ $45^\circ,$ $60^\circ,$ and $90^\circ$? There is a $30$-degree gap between the first two angles and the last two
but only $15$-degree gaps between other angles.
Why the uneven gaps?
Why not adjust some of the angles to make the gaps all the same, so the angles are $0^\circ,$ $22\frac12^\circ,$ $45^\circ,$ $67\frac12^\circ,$ and $90^\circ$?
Why not fill in the larger gaps in the obvious way: $0^\circ,$ $15^\circ,$ $30^\circ,$ $45^\circ,$ $60^\circ,$ $75^\circ,$  and $90^\circ$
so that all gaps are equal?
In fact these alternative "standard" angles, namely $15^\circ,$ $22\frac12^\circ,$ $67\frac12^\circ,$ and $75^\circ,$ also have sines and tangents that are relatively easy to write using integers, simple arithmetic, and the square root function,
but the expressions we get are not quite as simple as the sines and cosines of the usual "standard" angles. So those alternative angles generally don't end up in your table of "standard" sine and tangent values.
In short, you can make simple rules for generating this table because any angle that would not allow simple rules has been excluded.

A: So "Why does this trick work" I am interpreting as, "Can this pattern be generalized". The thing is you can generalize this pattern in two ways, one is to recursively use the double angle formula to get a pattern for all (pi multiplied by) 2-adic rationals. The other way is to use the triple angle formula to get a pattern for 3-adic rationals.
If you truncated these two infinite patterns to the first terms and order using the real line, then you get the pattern you start with. So my conclusion is the pattern you gave and the recursion you use to find the values does not extend to "elementary" infinite sequence, so is mostly a coincidence.
My main objection is the 2-adic and 3-adic order which is used in the natural recursion for double and triple angle formula is artificially ordered using the real line to get the pattern you describe.

In 2018, £215,000 in grants was delivered to 430 small charities and community groups delivering sports or physical activities across the UK.
Happy Wanderers Ambulance Organisation used their grant to provide free transport for older people and wheelchair users to access local physical activities, responded: "It is so good to have grant funding earmarked specifically for the very small charities in the community and open to requests for core funding".
In 2017, £100,000 in grants was distributed to 205 local charities and community groups. Grants, of £250 and £500, were given to projects that seek to increase participation in exercise and healthy activities.
LEGS (London Exercise Group for Stroke), who received a grant to increase access to physical activities for stroke survivors, said "We are so grateful for the funding we have received and it was such a smooth process with great communication from you at all stages."


Language shapes our concepts about who we are and what we can do. Even idle words tossed off without thinking can be taken to heart and turned into beliefs. Hiding beneath the notice of the analytical mind,these beliefs govern behavior even when the person has opposing conscious beliefs.
I was once told by a healer that I was acting on ideas about having the "right job", the "right clothes", and the "right car." Indignantly, I protested. Not true, I said. More interested in leading an authentic life, material possessions approved by the common culture had seldom interested me.
My mother had passed on several years before, so I could not question her about it, but lo and behold, when I examined my own beliefs, using a simple muscle testing system, sure enough, I was holding onto unconscious ideas that conflicted with my value system.
Beliefs can be tricky, since those that most affect us most are often buried under layers of experience. They must be coaxed out, with meditation, journaling, or whatever healing method works for you.
A simple way to start examining our beliefs is to notice how we talk to ourselves and others. Do we use a lot of judgmental words? You should. I ought. That's hopeless.
If you use judging words every time you make a minor mistake, is there a way you can substitute kinder words?
I'm so stupid! Could become I made a mistake, but that's okay because I'm human.
If you try this exercise, it may feel awkward at first, but with some practice, you'll soon learn to catch those automatic judgments and start speaking to yourself like a friend.
James W. Pennebaker, the pioneer in research on expressive writing for healing, discovered patterns of language typical of those who get the most benefit from expressive writing. He used a software program to analyze both written and spoken communication and found that pronouns (I, he, she, we, it) are a key to change.
When people who have experienced trauma write about the event, they can create a more coherent story which leads them to new understandings of what happened to them. The use of causal (because, why) and insight (realize, understand) words predicted how well the writers recovered from the trauma.
The most interesting and unexpected result came when he found that people who changed the pronouns they used (from first person to third person, for example) improved most in mood, health, and sociability.
By counting pronouns, Dr. Pennebaker found that people whose health was improving tended to decrease the use of first person pronouns. They gained perspective and the ability to see the situation from more than one point of view.
If you'd like to learn more about his research, he has written a popular book on the subject.
His original research, which inspired my own investigations into the benefits of writing for healing, is discusssed in his first book.
Wbat about you? Have you noticed how you talk to yourself? Have you tried journaling to uncover beliefs and stuck patterns you want to change?


In tandem with the Autosol Communication Manager (ACM), the TGP protocol works to deliver customers data from the field of industrial automation and beyond. The protocol works on a select number of PLC devices. The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) turns digital commands into physical action in the remote field.
ACM works to deliver the most vital information from the field to customers when they need it the most. This delivery process beings with a virtual command from ACM to reach out to the field device in its native protocol for data from that specific device. This data includes polled information that can be stored in the device itself.
That data is then fed back into the control room through its common protocol, Object Link and Embedding for Process Control (OPC), as ACM is an OPC server. Operators will benefit from this device as it delivers reliable data from your most remote locations when paired with ACM.
ACM works to provide a wide range of compatibility to ensure that companies' legacy devices are never out of date. Acting as a master in the communication, ACM will reach out to the device in its native protocol.
The benefit of using AUTOSOL's ACM to decipher these protocols ensures that legacy devices can still be used and maintained. Ultimately, the ACM ensures the TGP Protocol can be used in conjunction with other PLC and RTU brands and devices, saving money from having to upgrade to brand new equipment.
For information on how to further secure the TGP Protocol data transmission, please visit our page about the CryptoMod data encryption tool. Contact us to learn more about securing and encrypting your SCADA system.


Plastiglomerate, a new type of rock made of volcanic rock, sand, and plastic.
"It seems easier for us today to imagine the thoroughgoing deterioration of the earth and of nature than the breakdown of late capitalism…" – Fredric Jameson, The Seeds of Time.
A few weeks ago, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a report calling on the world to end its reliance on fossil fuels by 2100. "Since the 1950s, many of the observed changes [in the climate system] are unprecedented over decades to millennia," the report's authors wrote, concluding: "human influence on the climate system is clear." The report is one of many documents that speaks to a question currently plaguing contemporary science: To what extent have humans impacted the earth's processes, and how can we document those impacts? One answer to this question is the concept of the Anthropocene. "Anthropocene," as a scientific term, gained traction around 2000 when atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen and biologist Eugene Stoermer used it to describe a geological epoch in which human activity has led to environmental, geological, and atmospheric change on a global scale. In the Anthropocene, the two argue, humans have assumed the role of a major geological force. Crutzen and Stoermer locate the origins of the Anthropocene around 1784 (making it coeval with James Watt's steam engine, itself a metonym for the beginning of the Industrial Revolution) and argue that it is an epoch in which we still live. Since the article's publication, the concept has sparked heated debate across the sciences: Is there such a thing as the Anthropocene? If so, what kinds of evidence should we marshal to substantiate it?

Q: Efficient python function to find the size of the directory def getSize(path):
    start_time = time.time()
    totalSize = 0
    if os.path.isdir(path):

        for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(path):
            for fName in filenames:
                fp = os.path.join(dirpath, fName)
                totalSize += os.path.getsize(fp)
        print time.time() - start_time, "seconds"
        return totalSize

    else:
        return os.path.getsize(path)

above function takes around 25 sec to find the size of directory which right now contains lot of files. Couldany one tell me some efficient function to do the same so time to find the size is less?

A: The problem is not in the size of data, but in the number of (presumably small) files that contain it. I don't see a way to significantly optimize your approach — system utilities like du calculate size using the same approach. Nevertheless, here are several suggestions, ordered by increasing difficulty and effectiveness:

*

*For a small speedup, you could roll your own variant of os.walk that obtains file size from the same os.stat call used to distinguish between files and directories. This might buy you a second because of the reduced number of syscalls.

*You could code getSize in Python/C or Cython to avoid interpreter overhead while inspecting a huge number of files and directories. This might by you a few more seconds, at best.

*Change the code that writes the data to also maintain a total size, or a file size index in a single database (think sqlite) that can itself be indexed. This will make the size lookup instantaneous.

*Monitor the directories being written to using inotify or equivalent, and save the result to a database as before. This will be a net win work as long as the writes are infrequent compared to reads. It is harder to implement, but it has the benefit of requiring no changes to the code that does the writing.

The sex-hormones testosterone and oestrogen are implicated in psychological behaviour and as such, also in psychiatric disorders. This study will explore hormone levels and cognitive performance to investigate the associations and interactions in these variables.
The sex-hormones testosterone and oestrogen are implicated in psychological behaviour and as such, also in psychiatric disorders. Specifically, the sex-hormones, testosterone and oestrogen are implicated in mood and mental health stability. An increase in testosterone and oestrogen accompany physical and psychological changes during puberty and the age at which this begins may vary from aged 10 to 15 for girls and aged 11 to 16 for boys, rising gradually until reaching a peak just after adulthood. If children have indications of early higher levels of sex hormones through signs of early puberty, the associative link with later-life adult mental health and cognition would be difficult to assess unless a longitudinal birth cohort study was conducted. By using existing population cohorts with retrospective proxy measures of early childhood hormonal proxy indicators, this study will explore an extrapolated childhood hormone level, adult mental health, adult hormone level and cognitive performance to investigate the associations and interactions between these variables whilst controlling for co-variates such as social deprivation, age and medications. The main aim of the study therefore is to utilise the power of DPUK cohorts to assess early-life predictors and, interactions of the sex-hormones, mental health and cognition.

WIN! A PS3 Slim and Batman: Arkham Asylum
By Adam Hartley
Own the greatest PlayStation yet
Win! A PS3 Slim and a copy of Eidos' critically-acclaimed 'Batman: Arkham Asylum'
The rumours have finally been laid to rest, with Sony officially unveiling its new PlayStation 3 Slim at this month's GamesCom event in Cologne – and TechRadar is officially the first website to offer you the chance to WIN what is sure to be this year's must-have kit for Christmas.
That's right. The good folk over at Eidos have stumped up a PS3 Slim along with a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum - one of the PS3's best games of the moment – for one lucky TechRadar reader to bag.
Batman: Arkham Asylum is being published in the UK by Eidos Interactive and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of the mighty DC Comics.
Developed by Rocksteady Studios Batman: Arkham Asylum lets the player assume the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds.
With an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, the game brings the universe of DC Comics' detective to life and offers players the chance to battle Gotham's worst villains with Batman's physical and psychological strength in a superb story-driven game with stunning graphics.
Sony's newly-announced £250 PS3 Slim includes a Blu-ray player, 120GB hard disk, DualShock3 controller and HDMI output with 1080p support. The latest (and unarguably the greatest) PlayStation console to date releases in the UK early this coming September.
But don't worry too much about how you are going to get your hands on the spondoolicks in time. Just enter TechRadar's competition and keep your fingers crossed.
For all the full details on Sony's PS3 Slim announcement and all the other PlayStation news of import, you can read the full rundown from Sony's GamesCom media conference right here.
This competition is now closed. The winner is Gabrielle Crawford.
Please note that competition is open to UK residents only. Under 16s must obtain parental consent to enter this competition and be able to demonstrate this to TechRadar's reasonable satisfaction.

Built in the heart of Manchester Airport adjacent to the existing rail station, the project provides a multi-modal Ground Transport Interchange (GTI) that combines heavy rail, Metrolink, local bus, coach and taxi/car drop off for staff and passengers of the airport.
The project is a key element in the development of Manchester Airport to facilitate a planned increase of public transport passengers in 2005 to 6 million, given the airport's growth projection to 30 million by this date.
D5 working with main contractors John Sisk and Son Ltd have completed the fit-out of the transport interchange. The aim of the design was to create an airport terminal style environment, providing retail opportunities, ticket sales, waiting, circulation and multi-modal travel information. The development also included the fit-out of approximately 9,000m2 of fully serviced office space over 6 floors.

It's easy to get confused when giving out your telephone number in English. And it's often even more confusing when callers tell you their phone numbers! Let's look at some basic rules:
1. Say each figure separately in groups of two or three. For example, the number 973-8562 is usually said: "Nine-seven-three, eight-five, six-two." Don't say: "nine hundred and seventy-three, eighty-five, sixty-two." This is never done with telephone numbers in English and would confuse most of your international callers. The number "0" is pronounced as "zero", or like the letter "o", and the word "oh". The number 0208 307 160 could be pronounced: "Zero-two, zero-eight, three-zero-
seven, one-six-zero." Or you could say: "o-two, o-eight, three-o-seven, one-six-o." In Britain, some people use "nought" instead of zero. Don't use this yourself, as it can be confusing. Just remember what it means when your British business counterpart says it to you.
2. If a figure occurs twice in sequence, you can say "double". For example, 055 677 8899 is "zero-double five, six-double seven, double eight, double nine".
3. If a figure occurs three times in a row, you have two choices. The number 099 444 2333 can be said: "Zero-double nine, triple four, two-triple three." Or say: "Zero-double nine, four-double four, two-three, double three."
4. Numbers with several zeros at the end are often said as whole numbers. For example, 07 2000 is said: "Zero-seven, two thousand."

The Natural Solution for the Natural body!
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a member of the cannabinoid family. It is a phytocannabinoid which is extracted directly from the cannabis plant. It does not have any of the psychoactive effects typically associated with cannabis, but rather numerous potential health benefits. It is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties and continues to provide more benefits as its properties are further explored.
High Purity Hemp Oil contains naturally occurring cannabidiol (CBD), which is one of many cannabinoids found in hemp. These cannabinoids bind to cannabinoid receptor sites found in the human body that make up the endocannabinoid (EC) system. The EC system is an integral part of human physiology and is responsible for numerous physiological and mental processes. Unlike synthetic pharmaceuticals, cannabis oil and related cannabinoids have no known toxicity level, and their health benefits come without negative side effects.

Ентоцид (Метаризин) — біологічний ґрунтовий інсектицид, активну дієву основу якого складають міцелій та спори кількох рас ентомопатогенних грибів, в першу чергу .

Є одним з найвідоміших та поширених біологічних ґрунтових інсектицидів в Україні.

Механізм дії
Спори гриба в ґрунті, при попаданні на тіло шкідника, протягом 10-12 годин проростають і уражують жирову тканину, кишковий тракт, паралізують нервову систему, м'язову тканину та органи дихання. В результаті шкідник гине і стає джерелом розвитку для самого гриба та іншої мікрофлори ґрунту. Повна загибель наступає через 40-120 годин в залежності від віку личинки або імаго.

Використання

Багато ґрунтових комах-шкідників залучаються сполуками, які виділяють в ґрунт насіння, що проростає. Незважаючи на це, мікробна інокуляція насіння для захисту культур від комах проводиться нечасто, хоча серед всіх способів введення мікробних агентів в кореневу зону, обробка насіння є найефективнішою, оскільки саме там ймовірність контакту коренів із шкідниками дуже висока. Відкриття ентомопатогенної активності у гриба , який є ефективним колонізатором ризосфери рослин, вказує на доцільність його застосування при обробці насіння. Даній гриб використовується для захисту насіння кукурудзи від дротяників Agriotesobscures і пасовищних (газонних) трав від жука Adoryphoruscouloni. Причому внесення спор цього гриба для захисту рослин в ґрунт менш ефективно, ніж інокуляція насіння. Правильність концепції внесення біоінсектицидів шляхом обробки насіння була продемонстрована на моркві, пшениці і райграсі.

Marine biodiversity indicators are tools that enable following the changes in biological components of marine ecosystems, to link those changes with pressures as well as to assess the effectiveness of measures taken to reduce the pressures on different geographical scales, providing thereby a basis for informed decision making and adaptive management. However, a common understanding of indicators for assessing the biodiversity status of the Baltic Sea according to existing European legislation and international agreements does not exist yet. Quality objectives as well as aspirational indicators have been determined in the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan and the EU legislation, but precise indicators and their methodology still need to be developed. Currently several projects and working groups are dealing with this issue, including the MARMONI project who reviewed the existing sets of marine biodiversity indicators and elaborated a new set based on targets for good environmental status according to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive.
At first: MARMONI project experts elaborated (in 2012) a draft set of innovative marine biodiversity indicators. A narrative report about project's indicator work is available here. It contains a text file and the indicator tables on 225 pages and is a protected PDF file which cannot be edited and printed until the indicator list is finalized.
Then: all further changes were inserted only in the indicators data base (2012-2014) : MARMONI Indicator Database.
Finally: the report Martin G. et al (2014): "List of indicators for assessing the state of marine biodiversity in the Baltic Sea" is available. It includes results of development of a set of new, cost-effective and innovative indicators for assessment of marine biodiversity in the Baltic Sea. In MARMONI project the presented indicators were developed and tested on real data, often collected in a targeted manner in four project areas representing very different natural conditions available in the Baltic.

Ireland frets as Biden tax plan throws doubt on economic model
The US plan threatens a key economic advantage for Ireland — its 12.5 percent corporate tax rate.

Voiced by artificial intelligence.
DUBLIN — U.S. President Joe Biden often proclaims a sentimental soft spot for Ireland. But his administration's vision of a 21 percent tax rate on American firms' overseas profits could hit the Irish the hardest.
Over decades, Ireland has honed a sales pitch that has wooed hundreds of U.S. firms to an island on Europe's edge that offers few natural resources beyond its people. Key to the attraction has been Ireland's 12.5 percent rate of corporate tax in place since 2003.
France and Germany – which charge headline rates topping 30 percent – have long complained that Ireland unfairly hoovers up too much U.S. corporate investment at the expense of the wider EU single market. The Irish counter that the French and Germans ought to cut their own rates to compete.
That argument appears to be running out of road. If rising political forces on both sides of the Atlantic have their way, a global minimum rate of tax will finally blunt if not eliminate Ireland's advantage.

"The genie is out of the bottle. We have seen a very significant shift in the U.S. position," said Dermot O'Leary, chief economist at Goodbody Stockbrokers in Dublin.
"We need to prepare for receiving less revenue from corporate tax. That's something we can plan for," O'Leary said. "The bigger issue is what it does to our industrial strategy. That requires a rethink about what we can offer multinationals that base themselves here."
Even though concrete change could be years away, senior officials in Dublin already are wargaming the potential damage that a globally enforced higher rate of corporate tax would do to Ireland's ability to keep landing U.S. investment.
While it's still a whisper in the corridors, for the first time the Irish are imagining a future where their world-beating rate no longer represents an immovable pillar of industrial policy.
"We've been saying forever: We'll never touch 12 point 5. But there's little practical point in continuing to draw that line in the sand if the OECD tide is finally coming in," said a senior Irish official, referring to the Paris-based Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development. It is seeking a minimum rate to be enforced in 139 nations, including the U.S. and Ireland.
Defending the golden goose
While Donald Trump rejected the OECD effort, Biden and his treasury chief, Janet Yellen, support it and, as part of any deal, want American multinationals to pay 21 percent on their profits overseas.
Ireland is banking on other OECD nations lowering that proposed rate and leaving wiggle room for Ireland to keep offering a tax discount versus France, Germany and other larger competitors. It seeks common cause with other small EU nations adept at winning foreign direct investment, including the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
"Small countries, such as Ireland, need to be able to use tax policy as a legitimate lever to compensate for advantages of scale, resources and location enjoyed by larger countries," Irish Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe told POLITICO.
His Finance Department published fiscal plans Wednesday that presume Ireland will lose €2 billion in annual corporation tax collections by 2025 because of global tax reform. This would reflect the impact both of a potential minimum tax regime and a parallel OECD effort to spread tax gains more equitably to nations where multinationals' products are sold, not only where those products are owned or managed.
Donohoe, who is also the Eurogroup president, said Ireland is "in much better position to absorb the expected shock to corporate tax revenue" because it has broadened its tax base over the past decade and refinanced much of its national debt at historically low rates.
But he said Ireland was determined in any talks with the U.S. and OECD to preserve "legitimate tax competition" within rules that were "fair and sustainable."
For now, Ireland is winning that competition. Last year it banked a record €11.8 billion in corporate tax, representing a fifth of total revenues second only to income tax. Most came from U.S. firms, including two-fifths from 10 companies that Ireland's revenue agency declines to identify.
The multinationals' footprint today is enormous. The American Chamber of Commerce in Ireland says more than 700 U.S. firms in the country employ 160,000 people directly and 130,000 more in support roles, an eighth of the labor force.
Seamus Coffey, a University College Cork economist and former chairman of Ireland's budgetary watchdog the Fiscal Advisory Council, in 2017 authored the state's blueprint for corporate tax reform. He says Ireland is far and away the biggest per-capita overseas beneficiary of U.S. multinationals in the world, both in jobs and revenue.
Based on IRS figures for 2018, he said, corporate tax paid to Ireland by U.S. multinationals amounted to €1,400 per man, woman and child — or equivalent to the entire cost of state pension payments to the country's 600,000 retirees.
The OECD's first attempt to crack down on base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) in 2013 unintentionally helped drive more U.S. corporate assets to Ireland. This happened because the new rules required firms' international tax-reporting hubs to have "substance" – real factories and real workers.
In the meantime, a new elite has emerged, triggering a relentless real estate boom. Just as in San Francisco, this elite's exceptionally high salaries have helped to drive Dublin residential rents to the highest in the EU. This residential pressure is felt to a lesser extent in the second-largest city of Cork, where Apple and a slew of pharmaceutical companies are major employers, and in Galway's medical technology cluster.
Those high salaries, in turn, have bolstered an income tax haul that has proved the most resilient in Europe despite more than a year of mass layoffs of lower-paid service workers. While Ireland keeps taxes low for corporations, it does the opposite for well-paid workers, who are taxed close to 50 percent on their income above €34,000.
Victory by fine print?
Amid the soul-searching, government economists and outside analysts argue that Ireland's multinational clusters are deeply rooted here and will keep growing operations even if the tax environment sours.
"People aren't going to leave Ireland for lots of good reasons. But the higher the taxation rate goes, the less attractive Ireland becomes. So it is in Ireland's interest to keep that agreed minimum rate relatively low," said Peter Vale, head of international tax at Grant Thornton in Dublin.
Vale expects the U.S. target of a 21 percent rate to be whittled down in OECD negotiations to between 15 percent and 17 percent. This would leave Ireland with a residual tax advantage that could grow again as Britain – traditionally Ireland's closest competitor for U.S. corporate investment – loses leverage from leaving the EU and hikes its own rate to 25 percent.
"Let's say it's a 15 percent global rate. You'd be paying 12.5 percent here and 2.5 percent in the U.S.," Vale said. "Ireland would still be the best place from a tax perspective in Europe."
He doubts that, in such a scenario, Ireland would raise its 12.5 percent rate to claim that extra 2.5 percent, rather than let it sail off to America. The reason? Irish firms will gain an edge in a world with global minimum tax on foreign-domiciled profits.

Sledgehammer have officially shown early gameplay of "The Darkest Shore", the first DLC zombies map for COD WW2. The new zombies map takes players to a remote island in search of Dr Straub, discovering new horrifying zombie types and getting the chance to build brand new Wonder Weapons.
Uploaded to the familiar Call of Duty YouTube channel, the new trailer shows extensive details about the new map including a sneaky look at the new buzzsaw Wonder Weapon, the eirie environment (yes including fog rolling in!) and also a first sense of the islands enclosure as its totally surrounded by naval warfare.
With the original success of "The Final Reich", the base zombies map included with COD WW2, Sledgehammer are already on a winning streak this year. Although DLC 1 does include the much hated fog mechanic; which has been previously subject to disapproval for it's artificial use to increase a maps tension and difficulty level; this new map is several years ahead of Tranzit so hopefully the fog plays a meaningful role this role.
Background - the trailer begins with Straub saying that he "has been storing his children here", a reference obviously to the hideous zombie incarnations that Straub has been creating, "in the wet ruins of this island for years". Staub later goes on to say that "this island is a place rich with the history of dead gods - it's theirs now....their tomb".
Fog - the fog element appears to be dynamic, in particular we see the fog "rolling in" early in the trailer. This may hint that the fog behaves more like the dynamic weather in Origins rather than the static fog that we've previously seen in Tranzit.
Large island - ariel shots of the island show that it's not as small as we might have anticipated, with many AA gun posts, rocky cliffs and beach fronts where zombies surface from the bloody water.
Dive-bombers - towards the end of the trailer we see a group of Stuka's (German dive-bombers) that pummel the ground with bombs as the characters attempt to escape. One of the characters cries to "shoot them down", presumably meaning that either a trap or machine must be activated to fire the AA guns.
Artifact / Crypt Chamber - a white stone statue appears towards the end of the trailer, with what appears to be a bulls head beside it. The statue is in the middle of a circular chamber, similar in design to the chamber where the left hand, right hand and voice of god were in The Final Reich map.
Wonder Weapon - the new Wonder Weapon called the Sawblade is clearly shown behaving as both a melee and ranged weapon. Players will be able to fire the spinning blade (as a projectile), cutting through multiple zombies in one go.
The new DLC will be available on 30th Jan for PS4 and then followed a month later on Xbox One and PC. Those who own the Season Pass can of course download the new zombies map for free, whilst other players can purchase the DLC via the appropriate platform store.


Oh well.. the sign of the times? To a certain extent, although it is not all "crisis" driven! Think of it. It is mainly related to the nearly total incompetence of customer relations. Even mass merchants are reducing space. There though, the reasons are different – they never had a relation with the customer anyway!
So? Where do we go from there? To a purely virtual world? At least this is an option. Look at the last quarterly results of amazon.com. No need to drive to the store! No need to talk to an incompetent salesperson! They even know what you like! They send you an e-mail, proposing products to your taste, which you can read at your leisure! THIS is the new world of relations with the customer.
Let's face it, though… it is not all virtual! There is still the human weakness of wanting to touch goods, before you buy them! The possibility of browsing through shelves, like in the "good ol'" book stores, proves that we still need these very intimate moments.
There is however a generation-gap! There are those who are born "analogical", and those born "digital". It is this latter group that is basically changing the retailing environment, those who grew up (and still grow up) WITH a PC in their children's room. The FaceBookers, the MySpacers and the like.
In all this I do believe that the only e-tailer who has effectively managed to (at least in the US) to "grab" both generations, is Apple with its iTunes phenomenon. In a matter of a few years iTunes has become the #1 outlet for music. And should the studios finally decide to get on that "train" on a large scale, there is a good chance it could become the #1 outlet for movies as well.
What a change in consumer habits! Now I understand why it is called "software", intangible as it is – even if it could have been called "download-ware". It's just too bad that piracy will over time erode even this business, if society does not find a way to apply sense-full DRM systems. This way the headline of this article in a few years' time could read… "e-tailers are closing…"?
And then? Back to the old days… record music from radio on recording devices on some flash-cards, the same for movies recorded off TV… and we will listen/watch them on our pda.
.. in the meantime retailers are closing!
La construction d'une mosquée en France, est une véritable provocation!… Le seuil de notre habituelle tolérance est atteint, nos magnifiques cathédrales, églises et chapelles, nous contentent et nous sut2Osenf!&#8f30;iui la France est bien chrétienne et entend le rester!

The Mb, later G12 class of Halmstad–Nässjö Järnväg (HNJ), known after nationalization in 1945 as the E9 class of the Swedish State Railways (SJ), was a type of steam locomotive built primarily for freight traffic. They were the basis for the nearly identical SJ E10 class.

History

Three Mb class three-cylinder 4-8-0 locomotives were built by NOHAB for HNJ in 1931, based on an older type, the 2-8-0 M class built in Germany in 1922. HNJ changed their type designations the year after, and the Mb class became the G12 class, where G meant that they were intended for freight trains (Swedish: godståg). Three more G12 class locomotives were built in 1936.

Despite their designation the locomotives were also used in passenger trains. They remained on the HNJ network after nationalization in 1945, but were also used on the line between Alvesta and Borås. SJ referred to the type as the E9 class. They were in service until 1959, and were then placed in reserve. They were scrapped between 1974 and 1976, and none have been preserved.

In the 1940s the Swedish State Railways (SJ) saw a need for modern steam locomotives for freight traffic on the Inland Line and in southern Norrland. NOHAB built ten E10 class locomotives in 1947 from the same blueprints, but with some modifications. The E10 class locomotives were in use until the 1960s.

The Poet X
*** Winner of the 2019 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature***
***Winner of the 2019 Carnegie Medal***
The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo has also won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature and the Pura Belpré Award, which celebrates a "Latino/Latina writer and illustrator whose work best portrays, affirms, and celebrates the Latino cultural experience."
It's about a girl (with a twin brother) coming of age in Harlem in New York City. Her mum is religious and would have preferred to be a nun. "If Medusa was Dominican and had a daughter, I think I'd be her," says the narrator, Xiomara, who eventually finds herself through poetry and the support of an inspiring teacher.
"The story begins in Part 1 – 'In the Beginning Was the Word'. During this first section the reader becomes accustomed to the unusual style of poetry mixed with novel writing; I personally found it grew on me and at many points felt easier and more natural than a normal novel. These poems are supposedly Xiomara's diary entries which detail her day-to-day experiences."

Hell Comes to Frogtown limited edition dual format in January
With the 20th Century drawing to a close, nuclear war has wiped out civilization as we know it. The embattled human race's last remaining hope lies with one man and his loaded weapon. Sam Hell may be an ex-con, but he also happens to be one of the last surviving fertile men on the planet. Now, under the custody of a group of feisty female fighters, Sam finds himself enlisted on a mission to impregnate a harem of beauties. Sounds cushy enough, but the ladies in question are prisoners of Frogtown – home to a gang of mutant (and ill-mannered) amphibians!
Starring wrestler-turned-actor Rowdy Roddy Piper, better known to genre enthusiasts for his body-slamming and bubblegum-chewing antics in John Carpenter's They Live, Hell Comes to Frogtown (released the same year as Carpenter's film) is unashamedly a B-movie through and through with more guns and girls than you can shake a frog's leg at.
Hell Comes to Frogtown was described by DVD Verdict as "endlessly entertaining," while DVD Talk asked "Rowdy Roddy Piper has to save the world by diddling beautiful babes and squashing six-foot mutant toads with crummy attitudes. What's not to like?" I've already got my advance order in.
Hell Comes to Frogtown will be released as a limited edition UK dual format (DVD and Blu-ray – 1000 copies only) on 27th January 2014 at the RRP of £19.99.

Pornhub wants to save Vine
Derin J Tom — October 29, 2016add comment
Twitter officially made it public that it would shut down Vine which allowed the users to share 6-second video clips when it was launched initially earlier in 2013. Although it has attracted a lot of users, other video platforms such as Instagram and YouTube has overtaken Vine long ago in Stone Age. However, the website will continue to be live to let the users view their uploaded videos. Twitter will stop the services of the app and will stop allowing the users from creating new Vines.
Now, it seems like another company wants to buy Vine from Twitter. And guess which company that is? Your heart will burn like a fire when I say the name. Yes, it's Pornhub.
Corey Price, the Vice President of Pornhub sent a letter to Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey. In the letter, Mr Price said:
We figure since Twitter has dropped (Vine) and is having significant layoffs that you and your stakeholders could benefit from a cash infusion from the sale of Vine. Not to mention we would be saving Vine gems like 'Damn Daniel,' 'Awkward Puppets' and many more.
Price also said in the letter that it will restore the glory of Vine. According to him, six seconds limit in Vine is more than enough for the people to enjoy. However, it will be interesting to see if this Twitter will consider this offer.

1974 Hiwatt SE4123 4x12" Cabinet. Serial number 2995. This amazing sounding vintage Hiwatt cabinet has had quite a rough life, or should we say: a life behind bars! The previous owner pulled the grill cloth and literally installed a set of seven metal bars in fron the speakers. We carefully restored this beauty to be not only acoustically but also aestetically pleasing. The cabinet now has a new salt & pepper grill cloth, piping, logo and even a new serial number tag (from a destroyed SE4125). The four original Hiwatt branded Fane speakers work perfectly.


ASTRI, powered by technology, strives to enrich people's lives by innovating solutions that help businesses and communities. Showcasing one of its latest and novel solutions, developed jointly with its Sweden-based partner Smart Secure ID (SSID), ASTRI is participating in the Hong Kong Science Park Innovation Showcase 2017-18. The solution showcased by ASTRI – 'Palm Fusion Biometric sensing device' – is a biometric authentication method based on the unique patterns and various characteristics in the palms of people's hands. The solution uses a state-of-the-art contact-less, biometric sensing and verification device developed by ASTRI. This solution works by capturing a person's palm vein and palm print patterns at the same time while sensing the presence of a palm placed on the device through infrared and visible light.
Since veins lie beneath the skin, attempts to forge an identity becomes extremely difficult. Furthermore, palm print contains a wealth of inimitable features – even identical twins can be differentiated through their palm print patterns. By using the fusion technology, ASTRI's solution obtains a higher security level, combining both palm print and palm vein features.
Identity management is a key issue across many different sectors as organisations as well as citizens strive to safeguard their information and digital assets. This innovative solution from ASTRI brings huge practical benefits through its robust access control mechanism.
As technologies continue to evolve, they constantly reshape the world around us. The benefits of advanced technologies can be felt in our daily lives – it's a force we need to leverage and appreciate more. The Innovation Showcase organised by Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation Limited (HKSTP) is a platform for innovators to display and share their invention, and tell their stories of how to integrate their emerging technologies to deliver social and economic benefits. ASTRI is pleased to be a part of this year-long showcase where innovative solutions will be on display across different locations within Hong Kong Science Park in Shatin. ASTRI shares the same vision with HKSTP and other players in Hong Kong's technology ecosystem – making technologies work for Hong Kong and its people.


"Someone who read my posts on WordPress sent me an email about how my posts were proving to be useful. A personal mail. It was a big deal for my ego. I liked the appreciation and felt worthy! I still remember that feeling of pride. There's no problem in acknowledging the appreciation. But when your sense of self-worth becomes dependent on it, that's problematic."
