Symbol from NEM, The Next-Generation Enterprise-Grade Blockchain Platform
by Sponsored
March 8, 2021, 3:53PM EST · 1 min read
At NEM, we believe we are beginning to create an entirely new economic and digital system that can be more inclusive and accessible. NEM has a vital role to play, alongside and operating with other platforms, in contributing to the creation of this new system. That is why NEM is proud to launch Symbol on March 15th, the next-generation Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Public Blockchain. Developed over four years, Symbol will be uniquely positioned at the forefront of the decentralization, digitization and tokenization of the economy.
Boasting enterprise-grade programmability and security, Symbol from NEM brings cutting edge technical features which can be leveraged by innovative projects building fintech, healthcare and supply chain products at the heart of the new economy. With the launch comes XYM, the native currency of the Symbol platform, used for transactions on the network.
Symbol from NEM is built to be interoperable; it supports public/private hybrid models, trustless cross-chain swaps and its Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) easily integrate with existing systems and processes. Atomic cross-chain swaps will enable trustless data and value flow across multiple different blockchains, eliminating the need for intermediaries. It also permits the creation of specialized digital assets, going beyond tokens to represent shares of stock, signatures, votes, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) or other currencies.
Each asset has configurable properties, and a unique identifier and can enforce logic-based account or asset-based restrictions at a protocol level. These features hold huge potential in the new economy movement. In particular for the Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Regulated Assets and Security Token Offering (STO) spaces, with Symbol already integrated with Propine, a regulated issuance and custody platform for Security Tokens.
With the public chain launch of Symbol, the NEM project now comprises two chains, with the 6-year old project, NEM NIS1 (V1) continuing to run in parallel with no downtime, security breaches or lost assets in its history. Symbol from NEM advances the state-of-the-art security features of its first PoS blockchain, which was the first blockchain to introduce on-chain multi-signature accounts.
Expanding on this functionality, Symbol from NEM presents the first public blockchain to bring on-chain, multi-layer, multi-signature accounts. Sometimes referred to as the concept of "delegated financial authority," this feature allows the co-signatory of a multi-signature account to be a multi-signature account with its own set of co-signers.
Symbol from NEM is set to make a splash in the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) space, with LBCOIN, the world's first blockchain-based digital collector coin issued by a Central Bank, committed to NEM platforms. LBCOIN was initially issued on the NEM NIS1 public chain in July 2020, with The Bank of Lithuania issuing 4,000 LBCOIN, equivalent to 24,000 digital tokens and 4,000 physical collector coins. With the launch of the public chain, LBCOIN will transfer to Symbol chains (private and public), to take advantage of the feature-rich platform.

I add a new favorite: Jimbo Mathus
Jimbo Mathus has spent a lifetime becoming a great Southern rock singer. Whether it's country rock or blues rock he's worth listening to again and again.
Sometimes in life you run across an artist who really connects with you on a very satisfying and edifying level. In my life those artists have included Jimmy Buffet, Bonnie Raitt, Wet Willie, Black Oak Arkansas, and of course first and foremost The Beatles. These artists immediately caught and held my attention the moment I first heard them no matter whether I was a child as I was with the Beatles or a young adult. And now that I'm older it still happens once in a while when I'm lucky.
Most recently it happened when I got the streaming audio for Jimbo Mathus' new CD "Dark Night of the Soul." I knew that Mathus was the founder of Squirrel Nut Zippers and a member of the North Mississippi All Stars but I had not heard his work with Tri-State-Coalition or his other solo work on "White Buffalo" last year.
"Dark Night of the Soul" blew me away from the first notes. It is classic southern rock, melding blues, rock, country and even gospel influences with great songwriting that incorporates Southern culture and folklore to create songs that really resonate with the listener. I was hooked.
After I listened to that fantastic record I wanted to see Mathus when he appeared in Atlanta earlier this month at the Star Bar. But the show got pushed so late that it was going to be near midnight before he and the band even got to play and I had to leave. I did get to meet him and talk to him though and was very impressed with his friendliness. He knew I had reviewed his CD and given it a rave review and he was very disappointed but understanding when we could not stay. He gave me a copy of "White Buffalo," the CD he did last year and we listened to it on the way home and again a few days ago. It is very different from "Dark Night of the Soul," with much more of a country-rock sound. The more I hear it, the more I like it.
"I've been working on this music all my life," Mathus told me. You can tell. For that reason, Jimbo Mathus is definitely my favorite artist discovery of the year.

Q: SailsJS - How to render views in server Can please someone let me know how to render all the views in the server and send it to the web browser ? Just like any other PHP framework would do ?
Is this feasible at all ?

A: Read through the Sails.js documentation.
In the controllers section you can learn about the Response Object. On the response object you have a function called view().
So you can use res.view() to render a view and send it to the client. Typical example:
functionNameHere: function(req, res, next) {
    res.view({
        data: {first: "one", second: "two"}
    });
}

Sails.js is built on top of Express.js. There are already plenty of tutorials on how to use Express on the internet.
Here is the documentation for Express.

A: Just put:
YourFunctionName : function (req,res) {
    res.view('yourview', option, data);
}

The parameters are optional depending on the way you need and you put your route.js file.
Read the controllers section on: http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation/controllers

Q: GTK TreeView checkbox left to the text? I am using GTK# with .NET Core. How can I add a checkbox left to a text, not a separate column? Ubuntu's update dialogue box uses it so it must be possible, but I don't know how.

I tried changing the renderer type to CellRenderToggle() but it only showed the checkbox. I think the type of the column should be something that contains both a boolean value and a string, but what is that?

var st = new Gtk.TreeStore(typeof(string), typeof(string), typeof(string));
var iter = st.AppendValues("hello", "world", "gtk");

st.AppendValues(iter, "damn", "you", "ebay");
st.AppendValues(iter, "damn", "you", "ebay");
st.AppendValues(iter, "damn", "you", "ebay");

mytree.Model = st;
mytree.ExpandAll();

var r1 = new Gtk.CellRendererToggle();
var r2 = new Gtk.CellRendererText();

mytree.Columns[0].PackStart(r1, true);
mytree.Columns[1].PackStart(r2, true);
mytree.Columns[2].PackStart(r2, true);

mytree.Columns[0].AddAttribute(r1, "text", 0);
mytree.Columns[1].AddAttribute(r2, "text", 1);
mytree.Columns[2].AddAttribute(r2, "text", 2);

A: You have to add two renderers to the same Treeview column, reflecting two different column values in the Store. Since I don't know C#, here is an MCVE in Python:
#!/usr/bin/env python

import gi
gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
from gi.repository import Gtk

window = Gtk.Window()
window.set_default_size(500, 500)
tree = Gtk.TreeView()
window.add(tree)
store = Gtk.TreeStore(bool, str, str)
tree.set_model(store)
iter = store.append(None,[True, "world", "gtk"])
store.append(iter, [False, "you", "ebay"])
# create a column
column = Gtk.TreeViewColumn()
tree.append_column(column)
# add a toggle render
toggle = Gtk.CellRendererToggle()
column.pack_start(toggle, True)
column.add_attribute(toggle, "active", 0)
# and add a text renderer to the same column
text_ren = Gtk.CellRendererText()
column.pack_start(text_ren, True)
column.add_attribute(text_ren, "text", 1)
# now add a column using the default method
column = Gtk.TreeViewColumn("column", text_ren, text = 2)
tree.append_column(column)
window.show_all()

Gtk.main()

Your code would probably look similar to:
mytree.Columns[0].PackStart(r1, true);
mytree.Columns[0].PackStart(r2, true);
mytree.Columns[2].PackStart(r2, true);

mytree.Columns[0].AddAttribute(r1, "text", 0);
mytree.Columns[0].AddAttribute(r2, "text", 1);
mytree.Columns[2].AddAttribute(r2, "text", 2);

A: A little to late, but this is the C#'s equivalent:
public class MainWindow: Gtk.Window {
    public MainWindow(): base(Gtk.WindowType.Toplevel)
    {
        this.Build();

        this.AppendValues( true, "world", "gtk" );
        this.AppendValues( false, "you", "ebay" );
    }

    void Build()
    {
        this.BuildTreeview();

        this.DeleteEvent += (o, args) => this.Close();
        this.ShowAll();
    }

    void Close()
    {
        Gtk.Application.Quit();
    }

    void BuildTreeview()
    {
        this.TreeView = new Gtk.TreeView();
        var store = new Gtk.TreeStore( typeof( bool ), typeof( string ), typeof( string ) );

        this.TreeView.Model = store;

        // Create a column
        var column1 = new Gtk.TreeViewColumn();

        // Add a toggle render
        var toggleRenderer = new Gtk.CellRendererToggle();
        column1.PackStart( toggleRenderer, true );
        column1.AddAttribute( toggleRenderer, "active", 0 );
        column1.Title = "Column 1";

        // And add a text renderer to the same column
        var textRenderer1 = new Gtk.CellRendererText();
        column1.PackStart( textRenderer1, true );
        column1.AddAttribute( textRenderer1, "text", 1 );

        // Now add a plain text column
        var column2 = new Gtk.TreeViewColumn();
        var textRenderer2 = new Gtk.CellRendererText();
        column2.PackStart( textRenderer2, true );
        column2.AddAttribute( textRenderer2, "text", 2 );
        column2.Title = "Column 2";

        this.TreeView.AppendColumn( column1 );
        this.TreeView.AppendColumn( column2 );
        this.Add( this.TreeView );
    }

    public void AppendValues(params object[] values)
    {
        var store = (Gtk.TreeStore) this.TreeView.Model;

        store.AppendValues( values );
    }

    public Gtk.TreeView TreeView {
        get; private set;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

The Chicagoist Guide to the World Series
By Matt Wood in News on Oct 20, 2006 2:31PM
Sure, this city's sports scene is all Bears, all the time right now, but Chicagoist can find a way to make you care about the World Series. As Tommy Lasorda has been telling that poor Cubs fan up in the tree "since his team was eliminated from the postseason" in those playoff promos (they should have done some fact-checking on that one though--what, he's been up there since May?), it doesn't matter who's in the postseason, you're a bigger fan of baseball.
Even though the Cubs started the Dusty Deathwatch in May, and the Sox couldn't quite recapture last year's magic, this year's 2006 World Series matchup features a compelling matchup for Chicago baseball fans. You have the Tigers facing the Cardinals, not just some random pairing of teams; no, this happens to be two of our hometown teams' biggest rivals. So who do you root for? Chicagoist would like to provide this handy, North and South Side guide.
Cubs Fans
This one is a no-brainer. You root for the Tigers, because seriously strange things would happen if you pulled for the Cardinals, your archrivals. North Korea would join NATO; Mayor Daley would apologize for the Meigs Field thing; and Rod Blagojevich and Judy Baar Topinka would be caught sleeping together at a Motel 6. Your rooting interest in this Series is purely sadistic. You want to see the Tigers win and win big, just to make Cardinals fans suffer. It will be as satisfying as anything since, well, since they were swept by the Red Sox in 2004. Plus, by cheering for the Detroit, you get to stick it to those smug White Sox fans and their fancy championship t-shirts who watched the Tigers stay just out of reach all year.
White Sox Fans
This choice is nearly as simple as the other, but for less primal reasons. You root for the Cardinals, because sheer competitiveness won't let you cheer for the Tigers. Detroit is a rival, but not in the sense that Cleveland or Minnesota is a rival. Sure, you were chasing them all year, but you don't hate them the way you might hate the Twins. But you can't shake the feeling that you really should have beaten them this year, and that makes you jealous. Plus you just can't forgive them for what they've let Magglio Ordonez do to his hair.
But there's also a reciprocal interest in cheering for the Cardinals this year. Most Cardinal fans living in Chicago--and there are a lot more of them than one might think--root for the White Sox as their adopted hometown team. This is partly because they are accustomed to watching winning baseball, but also because they are the anti-Cubs. So when the White Sox fans couldn't stop believin' last year, Cardinals fans in Chicago were right there with them, especially after their team lost in the NLCS. You owe it to them this year, just as a thank you.
It may not be the most compelling matchup on paper, with the two teams with the worst records in baseball over the last 50 games of the regular season, but it's interesting for Chicago fans nonetheless. You may still be upset about your team not making the postseason, but you can even take some solace in the fact that the Cubs and the Sox both won their season series against these two. So watch the World Series. As Tommy says, "It's your duty, Judy."

African American Politics: A History of Struggle
[wzslider autoplay="true" transition="'slide'" lightbox="true"]
In the year 2008, tens of millions of African Americans turned out in historic numbers to propel Barak Obama to the US Democratic Party nomination and, ultimately, the Presidency of the United States. The turnout in that election was the culmination of a massive upswing in Black voting which began with the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. By the time of Obama's re-election campaign in 2012, numerous states across the US had taken steps to adopt laws which would severely restrict voting rights. Many of these laws were targeted at African American voters. For African American voters, this attempt to roll back voting rights was like Deja Vu, all over again. As far back as the period between 1864 and 1870, following the American Civil War, a vigorous debate waged within the US over the question of the African American vote. Following the Civil War, one of the conditions for readmission of the defeated Southern states into the United States of America was the enfranchisement of African Americans. The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which bestowed citizenship on African Americans, also dictated the terms for readmission of the defeated Southern states into the US. Section 2 of the 14th Amendment overturned the infamous three-fifths clause, a provision in Article 1 of the US Constitution which had limited the counting of enslaved African Americans to three-fifths of a person for the purpose of determining the number of congressional seats to allocate to the Southern states. After that provision was overturned, the counting of African Americans then added fifteen additional congressional seats to the House of Representatives. Of course, the much larger question was how would power be divided between slaves and former slave owners in the American South. The 14th Amendment also overturned the infamous and historically appalling Dred Scott Decision of the US Supreme Court. In that decision, the US Supreme Court's majority opinion held that even though he had lived in a northern, non-slave state, because Dred Scott was black, he was not a US citizen and therefore had no right to sue. It is written in the majority opinion that, "The framers of the Constitution believed that blacks "had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever profit could be made by it." Before being overturned by the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, that decision was the law of the land in America. Because the reconstruction Acts passed after the Civil War called for Black voting rights only in the American South, there was great disparity and controversy within the US. Those Acts did not apply to the American North, where 11 out of 21 states (that is more than half) did not allow African Americans to vote al late as the year 1868 (that is, after the Civil War). Further, the Border States (states bordering the South), where a sizable chunk of the African American population resided, did not allow Blacks to vote either. Congress passed the 15th Amendment in 1869 to rectify the voting rights disparity. However, there was significant resistance to its ratification. It was then dictated by Congress to the Southern states that the condition for their readmission to the Union would be acceptance of both the 14th and 15th amendments. Following passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments, African American political representation in the South increased dramatically. Between 1870 and 1900, twenty-two African Americans served in the US Congress. And, in 1868, Oscar Dunn, an African American, was elected Lieutenant Governor of Louisiana. In the legislature of South Carolina, Blacks even outnumbered whites by 87 to 40. However, that political power was short lived. After only a few short years of African American political representation, a vicious, violent backlash began. White supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan gained prominence, and many Whites refused to accept Blacks as their equal. A case in point - In 1876, after three years of refusal and controversy, the US Senate refused to seat PBS Pinchback, an African American who had been Governor of Louisiana for a short while. Also in 1876, a mere six years after ratification of the 15th Amendment, the US Supreme Court ruled that, 'the right of suffrage (meaning voting) is not a necessary attribute of national citizenship'. The next year, the infamous Hayes-Tilden Compromise of 1877 led to the revocation of presidential authority to use federal troops to guarantee fair elections in the American South. Through the Compromise, referred to by African Americans as the great Betrayal Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was awarded the White House over Democrat Samuel J. Tilden on the understanding that Hayes would remove the federal troops whose support was essential for the survival of Reconstruction era state governments in the South, and the former white slave owners, who had been defeated in the US Civil War with the significant help of African American soldiers, would return to power in the American South. As soon as he became President, Hayes pulled federal troops out of the South, and ended the Reconstruction Era. The resulting African American fall from political power was rapid. Southern white vigilantes terrorized African Americans. By 1890, Mississippi had convened the first of the so-called, constitutional conventions, which would sweep the South and institutionalize the racial cleansing of African Americans from the political arena. In an 1899 speech to the US House of Representatives, North Carolina congressman George White said, "our ratio of representation is poor…We have kept quiet while numerically and justly we are entitled to fifty-one members of this House; and I am the only one left. In his farewell speech, White prophetically said, 'this, Mr. Chairman, is perhaps the Negro's temporary farewell to the American Congress; but let me say, phoenix-like, he will rise up some day and come again. These parting words are on behalf of an outraged, heart-broken, bruised, and bleeding, but God-fearing people, faithful, industrious, loyal people – rising people, full of potential force.' After White's departure it would take 72 years for African American voters in the South to elect a candidate of their choice to the US Congress. It would take another twenty-two years, two amendments to the Voting Rights Act, vigorous litigation, and federal government intervention before the opportunity to elect a congressional representative became a reality in most of the Southern states. From the time that African Americans were first granted the right to vote up to the present, there has been consistent resistance to African American voting rights, especially in the American South. The long struggle from Post-Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement culminated in the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. That Act was necessary so that African Americans could realize the same rights which had been legally granted to them by the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment, some 95 years earlier. It would take further amendment of the Voting Rights Act in 1982 for African Americans in the South to elect candidates of their choice to office in significant numbers. The VRA had to be amended by Congress again in 2006, following a wave of litigation challenging the election of these new office holders. In 2014, following the election and re-election of Barak Obama, it is necessary to amend the Voting Rights Act once again because issues long fought over have still not been put to rest. Our ultimate goal at the new website, www.blackpolitics.org. is to put in one place historical and contemporary materials about the recent and extended history of African American leaders, politics and issues in the US. By assembling a vast cross-section of content dealing with the historical reality of the African American political experience and struggle we hope to make it easy for our visitors to research and discuss this topic. We want Black history to inform the present. We also want to help expose some of the historical deceptions which have played a role in turning history upside down by concealing the true origins and history of African people in the US and their relationship to Black people the world over. The first such falsehood is that African American political history began with slavery. We link to video and written content on the site to completely expose that fallacy. We ask our visitors to look deep into history, European history and beyond, and ask some basic questions. If Africans didn't come to the so-called "new World" until after the so-called discoveries of Christopher Columbus and the ensuing slave trade, the why is there so much evidence to the contrary? Who carved those huge stone heads of Black people In Southern Mexico and Guatemala thousands of years ago? Is it logical that someone else would erect such huge permanent monuments to other people, especially ones that they had never seen? Why is there so much historical evidence of African people throughout Brazil, and the rest of South and Central America, including Mexico and the Caribbean, even as far North as Louisiana – before Columbus? How did the Europeans find out about the so-called, "New World"? Who were/are the Moors? Who was Pedro Nina? And how is it that he piloted one of Christopher Columbus' ships – the one that was named after him? How did Europe get out of the Dark Ages? If West African were indeed traveling back and forth across the Atlantic, engaging in commerce and cultural exchange before the Columbus discoveries, what are the implications for all of the stuff we have been taught in schools to the contrary? Was history deliberately distorted and turned upside down to mislead and deceive future generations? These are only a few of the questions which need to be explored. Ask them yourself, and do the research until you find the answers. Come visit our site, and keep your minds open.
The ancient history of African Americans is a history rich in accomplishment. Many of these accomplishments have been written out of the history books. Because of this historical injustice, we have become accustomed to beginning African American history with the trans-Atlantic slave trade. From that time until now, the history of African Americans has been a history rich with political struggle. Whether we study the early slave rebellions, the Civil War, Reconstruction, Post-Reconstruction, the Garvey Movement, the 1960s Civil Rights and Black Power movements, or the rise of Black elected officials up to, and including, the election of Barak Obama, African Americans have engaged in deliberate political action to advance their quality of life and achieve political power within the United States. In so doing, serious students of African American history have stumbled across another history - the one previously unknown to them and most African Americans. This struggle has opened the door for African Americans to reclaim their true and rightful history. But there has been resistance all along the way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_culture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Crow_laws http://www.blackpolitics.org/moors/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dred_Scott_v._Sandford http://www.history.com/topics/black-history/voting-rights-act http://www.blackpast.org/1901-george-h-whites-farewell-address-congress

The Smooth Fox Terrier was the first variety of the fox terriers to be recognised. From the early days of fox hunting, terriers have been kept by the hunts as earth dogs, to dig out when the fox went to ground. The terriers could run with the hounds or were carried in saddle panniers by huntsmen. The early dogs were often brown or black and tan – but there was a move to make the terriers more easily distinguished from the fox when working and this led to the introduction of the Old English White Terrier (now extinct), Bull Terrier and Beagle to produce terriers which were predominately white bodied with small patches of black and tan (hound marked).
The result was the Smooth Fox Terrier which in its evolution became the short backed, long headed dog we see today. The first class for Fox Terriers was seen at Islington London in 1862. In 1863 at Birmingham Dog Show three dogs who were to become influential in the breed competed – Old Jock, Old Tartar and Old Trap, 10 years later the Fox Terrier class at Birmingham drew 276 entries. By 1876 the first Fox Terrier Club of England had been formed and had drawn up the first breed standard. By the start of the 20th century the Fox Terrier was the most popular breed in England.
The Terrier Breed Group
Dogs originally bred and used for hunting vermin. 'Terrier' comes from the Latin word Terra, meaning earth. This hardy collection of dogs were selectively bred to be extremely brave and tough, and to pursue fox, badger, rat and otter (to name but a few) above and below ground. Dogs of terrier type have been known here since ancient times, and as early as the Middle Ages, these game breeds were portrayed by writers and painters.

Explorer Guitar demo :
Before the collaboration between ESP and hetfield, Hetfields explorer type guitars were of Navigator band.
In the late nineteen-eighties, ESP crafted a lot of explorer guitars for Hetfield, including several popular guitars as raised middle finger inlayed EET FUK explorer, dots inlayed explorer having words A Year and a Half In the Life of Metallica; pt. 1. These kinds of James Hetfield White Explorer guitars had been named EX in the starting and later on known as MX-220ii.
Meaning of this name:
220- a common price tag
MX-220II is a little bit shorter than the size (from the strap button at bottom to the point of the headstock), the angular is smoother somewhat, the space between the toggle switch to the knob is a little bit even closer compared to the existing explorer instruments. And it features a unique truss rod cover which is parallel to the nut and possesses two screws. The construction of this particular James Hetfield White Explorer guitar regarding the combination of the body and the neck is round jack inserted.
The further adjustment to MX-220II is utilizing a metal plate with four anchoring screws to fix the ports. The truss rod cover nevertheless comes with 2 anchoring screws, but is not parallel to nut any longer. No adjustment is made for the rest parts.
Later, during the advancement of the MX-220II, the ESP changed the structure again to bolt-on structure.
The next MX-220II is quite similar to Hetfields initial explorer. This James Hetfield White Explorer guitar is belonging to EXPCustom with outdated fashioned body shape and no serial number. Its stated that there's no serial number and round trademark around the headstock back of the MX-220II electric guitar.
Presumably, the shape of the mx-220II is done in line with the 1958 explorer
The figure above is really a comparison between a 1958 explorer (red line) and a 1976 explorer (black line)
Afterwards, the new style was named MX250 (later called MX-II, 250 means the price). The MX-250II is a bit lengthier than MX-220II, far more pointed at the tip. During early 1990's, ESP used parallel spherical ports. And in this James Hetfield White Explorer, the pickups switch is a little further away from the volume control and pickups.
Mx 250 was introduced in Japan, with mahogany body, mahogany neck, poly finish, black dots inlays, ebony fretboard, EMG81 pickups. No matter what color you desire, they're always pricey. You could ask for specific tuners and other optional variables, and you may customize this James Hetfield White Explorer guitar in USA, but they're recognized as "EXP custom" due to the fact the "MX" is selected for some other models. They've bell-shaped truss rod cover which is fixed with 1 screw, at the rear of the headstock there is the serial number. ESP batch altered the shape of the truss rod cover in 1955.
The picture below is really a EXP Custom created '03 MX-II version.
The esp explorer introduced in U.S. are all EXP designs which have two styles, ESP and LTD. EXP is of MX-II body, bolt-on neck, the ESP (ESP EXP) edition is characterised by mahogany body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard; the LTD version (LTD EXP-200) is also of rosewood fretboard and maple neck. It's said the James Hetfield White Explorer body utilized distinct materials in distinct ages, alder utilized in the earlier years, and later on became mahogany. The fretboard inlays also changed, there were 2 dots at the twelfth fret of the early LTD model but changed right into a rectangle (engraved with LTD) in later models.
The subsequent picture is an old fashion LTD EXP-200 and an ESP MX-II
In LTD series, there is a type known as EXP-300, which has a neck through framework, floyd rose special bridge and two EMG 81 pick-ups
In 2000, ESP launched a manufacturing facility in Korea and made LTD MX-130 that is a lot like MX-250II. And the interesting matter is there is certainly no serial number. These James Hetfield White Explorer were sold simply in Japan. Like MX-II, they have two EMG81 pick-ups, neck through framework and black color finish. These James Hetfield White Explorer instruments occasionally can be discovered on Ebay but were ceased in 2003.
The very first EX/MX-220II custom inlays series is 1989s "EET FUK", which had been issued with a tiny quantity. The fifth fret is a little small and there's no step over the neck. Certainly, Hetfield instantly found this problem, so the production line was forced to be shut down. It is said that the quantity is less than 30. Some mx-250II body utilised this type of inlays also.
The special mx-250II like "Man To Wolf is named Japans esp unique interesting group, which signifies that you need to offer a large price to purchase them.
Elk Skull MX250 was also created within the interval from late nineteen nineties to 2003 in custom series; they had been customized within the custom store in Japan.

Excellent adapter for USB to RS-232. Works with ActiveHome...
Home :: Wireless standards
·802.11 — This early wireless standard provides speeds of up to 2 Mbps. Because 802.11 supports two entirely different methods of encoding—Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)—there is often incompatibility between equipment. 802.11 has also had problems dealing with collisions and with signals reflected back from surfaces such as walls.
·802.11a — This is an extension of the 802.11 standard and uses a different band than 802.11b and 802.11g—the 5.8-GHz band called Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U-NII) in the United States. Because the U-NII band has a higher frequency and a larger bandwidth allotment than the 2.4-GHz band, the 802.11a standard achieves speeds of up to 54 Mbps.
·802.11b — This extension of the original 802.11 standard boosts wireless throughput from 2 Mbps to 11 Mbps. It can transmit up to 328 feet (100 m) under good conditions, although this distance may be reduced considerably by obstacles such as walls. This upgrade has dropped FHSS in favor of the more reliable DSSS. Settling on one method of encoding eliminates the problem of having a single standard that includes two kinds of equipment that aren?t compatible with each other. 802.11b devices are compatible with older 802.11 DSSS devices but are not compatible with 802.11 FHSS devices. 802.11b is currently the most widely used wireless standard.
·802.11g — 802.11g is an extension to 802.11b and operates in the same 2.4-GHz band. It brings data rates up to 54 Mbps using Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology. Because 802.11g is backward compatible with 802.11b, an 802.11b device can interface directly with an 802.11g access point. You may even be able to upgrade some newer 802.11b access points to be 802.11g compliant via relatively easy firmware upgrades.
·802.11i — 802.11i addresses many of the security concerns that come with a wireless network by adding Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Robust Security Network (RSN) to 802.11a and 802.11b standards. WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to improve the security of keys used with WEP, changing the way keys are derived and adding a message-integrity check function to prevent packet forgeries. RSN adds a layer of dynamic negotiation of authentication and encryption algorithms between access points and mobile devices. 802.11i is backwards compatible with most 802.11a and 802.11b devices, but loses security if used with non-802.11i devices.
·802.11n — The next standard in development is IEEE 802.11n. This new standard offers far higher speeds than current standards. Speed projections are at least 100 Mbps, but they could go up to 320 Mbps. The standard isn?t expected to be ratified until November 2006.
·802.11X — This refers to the general 802.11 wireless standard—b, g, or i. It is not to be confused with 802.1X, a security standard.
·802.15 — This specification covers how information is conveyed over short distances among a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). This type of network usually consists of a small networked group with little direct connectivity to the outside world. It is compatible with Bluetooth 1.1.
·802.16 — IEEE 802.16, was ratified in January 2001. It enables a single base station to support many fixed and mobile wireless users. It is also called the Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) standard. 802.16 aims to combine the long ranges of the cellular standards with the high speeds of local wireless networks. Intended as a ?last-mile? solution, this standard could someday provide competition for hard-wired broadband services such as DSL and cable modem. 802.16 operates in the 10- to 66-GHz range and has many descendants.
·802.16d — This recent standard—also called the IEEE 802.16-2004 standard or WiMax—can cover distances of up to 30 miles. Theoretically, a single base station can transmit hundreds of Mbps with each customer being allotted a portion of the bandwidth. 802.16d may use either the licensed 2.6- and 3.5-GHz bands or the unlicensed 2.4- and 5-GHz bands.
·802.16e — This is based on the 802.16a standard and specifies mobile air interfaces for wireless broadband in the licensed bands ranging from 2 to 6 GHz.
·802.20 — Specifies mobile air interfaces for wireless broadband in licensed bands below 3.5 GHz.
·802.1X — 802.1X is not part of the 802.11 standard. It is a sub-standard designed to enhance the security of an 802.11 network. It provides an authentication framework that uses a challenge/response method to determine if a user is authorized. See EAP.

PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games Gets A Futuristic Approach
Johnny S 2 years ago 174 Views
While the U.S. may have its Super Bowl and its biggest showcases of innovation, the rest of the world will be displaying their latest digital innovations in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games that start today. From smart suits to drone security, the two-week event features a number of "firsts" and promising partnerships.
Intel, for starters, will treat Olympic Winter Games views a wide-scale virtual reality broadcast of 8 live events covered by almost two dozen 180-degree cameras and another 12 events covered by 360-degree cameras. It has also partnered with KT Corporation, a South Korean communications service provider, to develop the world's largest 5G showcase at the 2018 Olympics Winter Games. Intel 5G technologies paired with KT's broad-scale 5G network is speculated to deliver the gaming enthusiasts, "a series of immersive on-site 5G-powered experiences."
Besides Intel and KT, Alibaba has also come into a partnership with The International Olympic Committee to become the official cloud services and e-commerce platform services provider for the Olympic Committee. It will be offering its digital capabilities including its cloud infrastructure to support the Olympic Committee's big data analytics requirements.The partnership is speculated to offer the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, an estimated viewership of 700 million online viewers in China.
NBC which was the official broadcast partner for the 2018 Winter Olympics in the U.S., will be seen distributing 4K high-dynamic-range (4K HDR) coverage to broadcasting platforms such as Comcast, DISH, and DirecTV enabling. With the image quality being over 8 million pixels, viewers will enjoy 4K HDR streaming of the opening ceremony, figure skating, hockey, short track speed skating, ski jumping and snowboarding big air competitions. NBC, which is expected to offer 176 hours of total coverage will also broadcast the Winter Games over other channels, such as NBCSN, CNBC, and the USA.
Athletes too will get new technology-laden uniforms featuring a wearable heating component that's designed to keep athletes warm in PyeongChang's cold temperatures. Ralph Lauren and the United States Olympic Committee will debut these tech-savvy uniforms in prints of an American flag that will be dipped in carbon and silver ink. The ink that's bonded to the interior of the jackets is water-repellent inks and connected to a battery pack with three settings that offer up to 11 hours of heating. Besides central heating, two Dutch short track speed-skaters will be seen wearing the Samsung SmartSuit during their competition. The suit integrates five sensors that can monitor body posture and calculate how far a skater's hips are from the ice. The inferred data will data can be used by athletes to analyze their speed and how to increase it, even by just a fraction of a second. Athletes will also receive VISA's payment-connected winter gloves and two other wearables that will facilitate cashless payments at the Games.
Finally, the event will be buzzing with robots undertaking various tasks including small chores like housekeeping and customer service with additional services like translation, or serving drinks. Besides robots, the event will also showcase robust .

Q: Prove that the Countable Intersection is not Empty Prove that if $ [a_1,b_1] \supset [a_2,b_2] \supset [a_3,b_3] \supset ... $ then $ \cap_{n=1}^{\infty}[a_n,b_n] $ is not empty.
I started with going by contradiction and assume the intersection is empty. Then I continued on saying that then there exists some $ [a_i,b_i] $ such that its intersection is empty amongst every other closed interval. Was my accusation correct? I feel like I am missing something or I made an incorrect accusation. Please no answer to the question. Just a hint. Thanks!

A: You have $a_n\le a_{n+1}\le b_{n+1}\le b_n$ for all $n$. So, are the sequences $(a_n)$ and $(b_n)$ convergent? If so, what can you say about their limits?

A: I would not go with a contradiction here.
Instead, consider the set of left endpoints $A = \{a_n\}$ and the set of right endpoints $B = \{b_n\}$. Then, if you let $x = $ Sup($A$) you can show that $a_n \leqslant x \leqslant b_n$. From that you know the intersection is not empty.


What is motivation, what is it all about?
What can it do for you and were does it come from? These are just some of the questions that will be answered. Motivation is something that drives you from the inside. It is a feeling of emotion that will drive you to strive for goals and achieve all of the things that you would like to do.
It comes from inside your heart. It comes from the place of your heart that makes you want to be a better person. Motivation is what keeps the human race moving forward.
Motivation can do a lot for a person. It can help a person achieve a goal short term or long term. It can help a person find themselves. It can also help a person become a better person. When it comes to motivation you can do whatever you want to do. It is what drives you to be a better person because it allows you to grow and to learn.
Motivation allows you to have the courage to define yourself and to reach out and seek out new experiences. You will end up growing a lot as a person because you allow yourself to experience new things outside of your comfort zone.
When you take yourself out of your comfort zone you will find that you can have love, fun, success, and everything that you can ever think about.
Self-motivation is the best motivation that you can have, however, you can become motivated by other things. You can be motivated by your peers, your loved ones, and your religion.
When it comes to self motivation you will find it inside yourself a powerful energy boast to go for what you want. This energy boast will not allow you to quit until you have reached your goal.
Self motivation is the best just for the fact that you are doing it for yourself. You aren't changing or reaching for higher expectations because of someone else, but you are simply doing it for your better good.
Self-motivation can also be the most powerful form of motivation. Many determined people will be so empowered that they will just not give up or quit.
Sometimes it can seem like your borderline obsessive, however, you will feel so successful when you reach a goal because of self-motivation.
People are also known to be motivated by other things. You can be motivation by someone else or money. When someone else motivates you it is mostly because you are being forced to.
You are usually motivated because they give you an ultimatum. They give you a choice and you feel forced to change or you will end up punished. This is not always the best way to get yourself going.
However, if someone is trying to motivate you, you should think why and then try to find yourself a way to motivate yourself.
Now people say that they are motivated to work because of the money. However, money is not the only reason why you are motivated to work. Even if you think you are motivated to work because of the money, it is also so that you can feel complete.
People are motivated mostly so that they can feel whole. Some people spend their entire life trying to find something that will motivate them, but the entire answer lies within.
People are motivated because of so many reasons and motivation can do so many for a person's ego, self-esteem, and career because of all the success that you will find.
Success is a big boost to the ego and with a little bit of self-motivation goals can be reached and so will so many more future goals.


The world is rising to a new light revolution and slowly doing away with conventional lighting system.
solution to high energy demand at very low costs.
every application in your home in order to meet the growing demand. The technological advancements and mass production have enabled manufactures to lower LED prices gradually making it a product of mass acceptance now.
lightsavailable in either CFL, LED, halogens or incandescent, it is very confusing to make a perfect choice. In order to overcome this challenge,FTC has made it a mandate that all light packages will now reflect a standard unit of lumen in place of watts. Lumen reflects the expanse of light emitted by any light source.The lumen depreciation of LED is very slow lending it a very long shell life as compared to its counterparts.
LED lights survive for years without the need to replace them and consume up to 90% less energy as compared to traditional sources. They are not heavy on your monthly power bills and due to its low maintenance; consumers (especially those using solar panels) have switched to LED technology. They have a life of up to 60,000 hours which is nearly 7 years of constant use without having the need to replace them.
energy bills and long life of LED lights.
LED lights are made up of non-toxic material and do not emit any UV rays, hence considered to be very safe to the environment and can be recycled too. A "green" option to save earth, LED is the next big thing in light industry.
They are known to be sturdier than incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent tubes as the semiconductor used inside is made of durable material that can withstand harsh handling, shocks and vibrations. As they do not emit heat and remain cool, they are safe if left switched on for hours and do not add to heat buildup in the room.

Welcome to the home of Agri-Analyse, one of North America's leading grain, forage and feed testing laboratories, where service is our specialty. Our agricultural testing laboratories specialize in feed testing, forage testing and feed ingredient analysis for many industries. We offer agricultural testing that is specific to your needs and aim to provide fast results at a reasonable rate.
We are one of the only feed testing laboratories to provide testing results online. Our clients can conveniently access their results online through our Client Section.
Since our agricultural testing laboratories first started out, we have always stayed on the forefront of technology in order to provide the best service possible to our customers. Agri-Analyse agricultural testing laboratories began in 1984 with the purchase of one of the first NIRS- Near Infra-Red Reflectance systems dedicated to forage and feed testing in North America. The importance of NIRS to the dairy farming industry for the analysis of hay, haylage, corn silage and other feedstuffs changed the entire approach to the optimization of forages in ration balancing forever. We have been instrumental in assisting the agricultural industry in using laboratory data for rational use of home grown crops or purchased feeds.
Our agricultural testing laboratories have since expanded their services to include high tech wet chemistry methods including "ICP" for the analysis of minerals in forages, feeds and byproducts. Fast and accurate forage and feed testing using "ELISA" techniques for the detection of mycotoxins is another area where we have excelled. Over the years, we have developed and used other specialized instruments and techniques for the analysis of agricultural crops.
Our customer base includes livestock nutritionists, crop researchers, veterinarians, feed manufacturers, dairy farmers and virtually all other types of agricultural producers. In whatever way they are involved in the forage or feedstuff area, we strive to provide our customers with highly reliable feed testing and laboratory analysis services. To that effect, Agri-Analyse agricultural testing laboratories are renowned for accuracy, fast turnaround of test results as well as a highly personal service.
Whether you're a farmer testing haylage or a mineral manufacturer testing large quantities of feedstuffs, our agricultural testing laboratories want your business. We guarantee you cannot find a better combination of speed, price and courtesy when it comes to the forage and feed testing industry.
To better serve the ever-growing needs of our customers, Agri-Analyse recently invested in an ultra-modern near infra-red (NIR) spectrophotometer. We spent the early part of 1999 building and testing the accompanying computer software models and equations, working with an international team of experts in both the agricultural and computer software fields. Summer saw us in the testing phase and we ran simultaneous systems until the new equipment was fully operational in October.
What will this equipment do?
The new fully modernized spectrophotometer permits us to continue to offer SAME DAY analysis reports on a broader range of forages and grains than was previously available. In fact, few labs have their technology refined to this level; and by upgrading the number of parameters we now test, you have the option of obtaining much more specialized data within a faster time frame. It's important to test what you're feeding WHILE you're feeding it. Did you know that a one week delay in receiving your test results can end up costing you $1000 or more in lost milk production (based on a 40 cow herd). And while speed is critical to accurate results, our upgraded NIR machine further increases accuracy via the extra equations we've added to allow for a wider range of results.
What does the new NIR Machine measure?
Our latest instrument instantly measures moisture, crude/available/soluble proteins, energy, ADF, NDF, lignin, calcium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium. As well, we've calibrated our instrument to predict energy values for cattle using the most scientifically advanced formulae presently available.
What does the future hold at Agri-Analyse?
In the near future, we will be offering more types of tests on different feedstuffs - depending on customer demand, and of course technical feasability. As well as constantly monitoring new industry developments. Our primary goal is to continue offering timely, accurate analysis results to our customers using the most advanced techniques available.

Venus enters Gemini on May 24th. The energy will lighten up, but the demands will increase.
Isn't Venus in Gemini supposed to be fun and flirty? Sure. And you can certainly experience that side of the transit, as she sprinkles her favours here and there. Venus sparkles with wit and intriguing new developments. There will be more to pick from: more social contacts, more romantic choices, more to buy, more to investigate.
But Gemini is ruled by Mercury, and if you think this transit is just about cute text messages, you're missing the point. With more choices comes the need to make smart choices. Don't just grab at whatever passes by - be selective, even as you're checking out new developments. Now that Mercury is direct in Venus-ruled Taurus, the mutual reception between Venus and Mercury (until June 12th, when Mercury enters Gemini) asks that you continue to base your decisions on what holds the potential for lasting value. This means you'll have to pick and choose. You'll have to decide what's smart for you, and what's empty calories.
Venus in Gemini will also challenge you to up your conversational skills. Attraction will be based on a quick assessment of what the other person is thinking, followed by a smart response. Learn to love contradiction, and turn it into something intriguing. Conversational foreplay. If you're the strong, silent type, this transit will make you uncomfortable.
The day of her Gemini ingress, Venus will oppose Mars Rx in Sagittarius and make an inconjunct to Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio. Right out of the gate, she's challenged. The Mars opposition will pinpoint a key area of conflict (intensified due to Rx) that will blend sexual/creative tension with combative energy. It will be hot, but not easy. It will be exciting, but not totally pleasant. The pressure to choose will be intense, so you'll have to be certain about your smart choice. You'll have to use logic, and you'll have to be quick on your feet - response time will be minimal. And Black Moon Lilith will add some interesting texture, with reminders that there will be more at stake than a fun night or clever conversation. BML in Scorpio will raise questions about the darker issues. You won't be able to ignore them, but at the same time, you'll have to keep the mood light enough that the discussion rolls forward. While still juggling the demands of Mars Rx. Check out this week's horoscopes to see how Venus opposite Mars Rx will impact your sign.
Easy? No way. But if anyone can handle it, you can, with Venus in Gemini. Remember that Gemini is the multitasking sign, and Venus will allow you to embrace all the contradictions, with grace. Stay open, stay alert. And appreciate how talented Venus in Gemini can be at making all this look easy.
In general, this transit can attract more opportunities to the Gemini section of your chart. But you'll have to be on the ball, and ready to sort out the gems from the plastic baubles.

What if this whole thing wasn't about Chick-fil-A at all?
Over the years, corporations have at times been vocal about social issues. It takes courage to take a stand that is sometimes unpopular, but once in a while, a company takes that brave first step.
But a couple weeks ago, something shifted. Something happened that caused all anti-gay hell to break loose. Chick-fil-A's CEO came out against marriage equality. For years now, individuals and companies have expressed their opinions and those of us in the equality movement have tried to make it known. JCPenney was boycotted by anti-gay groups when they hired Ellen Degeneres as a spokesperson and published a catalog featuring a photo of lesbian moms and their kids. A few people noticed, but it didn't become a national debate. A list of California's anti-gay Proposition 8 supporters came out. Some people got hysterical and started small boycotts of some companies, but again – it didn't really wind up on the news.
Then CFA's CEO Dan Cathy spoke up and told the Baptist Press that the company was "guilty as charged" for backing "the biblical definition of a family." In a later radio interview, he ratcheted up the rhetoric: "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.'" And everyone heard it.
I've now waded through tens of thousands of comments on Facebook, talked to dozens of people in real life and one thing has become clear. For some reason, something happened that made people stand up and take notice.
For many people in our community, we have those in our lives who we know might not be the most supportive of equality. For years we've gently nudged them and some have even taken great strides. And then there are some who have just remained quiet while we've posted things on Facebook about different stories of discrimination – some violent and horrific. But for some reason, this Chick-fil-A thing happens and EVERYONE has an opinion – and not a small-voiced one either.
I made a meme that wound up on George Takei's Facebook wall. It didn't mention CFA directly but featured The Muppets' Kermit and Miss Piggy getting married. The text read: Thank you Jim Henson's Muppets, Standing Up for Non-Traditional Marriage since 1984. The meme was shared 38,000 times, liked 121,000 times and had more than 3,000 comments.
I've found most are from people who are misinformed. Most who stand with Chick-fil-A think this is an issue of "free speech" trying to be squashed. Clearly they don't have an understanding that free speech happens in both directions. Anyone can say whatever the hell they want. And when they say that thing, they have to be willing to face the consequences. And then the other side has free speech as well – to do things like arrange boycotts if you like, or educate the public.
Many think people are just upset because Dan Cathy expressed his opinion on something and some didn't like that opinion. Some of us have been working to get the message out there that this is not at all about his opinion on marriage equality, it's about the millions of CFA dollars he's spent on anti-gay hate groups. As outlined in an earlier post, he's given over $5 million to groups that (among many other things) try to cure gay people and fight to have gay people put to death in Uganda.
But back to my original question. What is it about this particular moment in history and this particular story that has caused the masses to speak out?
I was talking to a friend earlier who is not terribly active in the LGBT community. He's gay and married, but doesn't frequently post things even slightly political on Facebook. He's shocked at how many friends he's seen with bigoted opinions. Some who even came to his wedding. I too have seen many comments on things whose opinion I never knew until now.
Even people like Broadway reality performer Bailey Hanks has taken a side. Normally you would think that someone who spends most of their time surrounded by gay people onstage, offstage, in the audience and more than likely cutting her paychecks, would be supportive. But Bailey posted an image to her personal Facebook page clearly coming out in favor of the bigoted fast food chain.
So what is it? Is this really about Chick-fil-A or did we hit a tipping point where those who've secretly hated gay people for years feel like their chicken sandwich is worth more than the lives of their gay friends?
UPDATE******
Just a little update on the status of Bailey Hanks. Shortly after we tweeted the story to her, she replied that she is a "Proud Christian." I replied and when I looked for a response, I discovered she'd blocked her account. Bailey, if you're reading this, we just want to know if you believe it is "Christian" for Chick-fil-A to support anti-gay hate groups and if you believe your co-workers deserve the same rights as you do. It's all we want to know.
Upon a little further research, Bailey also tweeted her love of the anti-gay fast food chain on Chick-fil-A Appreciation day! I guess it wasn't just about her "dear friend" who works at CFA.

Christian Group Member Throws Girl From Wheelchair at Hateful Counter-Protest
We believe that a good counter-protest is what free speech is all about. That is why Talk About Equality was one of the sponsors of last summer's "The Big Commit" in Washington DC – a response to the National Organization for Marriage's hateful anti-gay bus tour. The event was peaceful and featured several positive speakers from a wide variety of social and religious backgrounds. We were proud to take part.
Unfortunately, the hate that drives so many individuals to fight against gays and lesbians around the world, also fuels violence. In Adelaide, Australia today, 150 members of the LGBT community gathered to celebrate International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia. During the rally which featured mock weddings and calls for equality, a Christian group decided that the peaceful protest needed to be broken-up.
The group screamed and chanted over the rally and then marched alongside the gay and lesbian group as they walked for equal rights. A young lesbian was pulled from her wheelchair and thrown to the ground during the march.
The hatred that we so frequently see in dark alleys or outside gay bars late at night as gay men and lesbians are beaten and killed, was in full view today in Australia. When the only way you can get your point across is by physically assaulting another human being, you clearly don't have much of an argument. It's sad when a rally to end homophobia only ends up proving just how needed a day like this is.

Faustino Perisauli (Tredozio, 1450 – Rimini, 1523) est un écrivain et poète humaniste italien de la Renaissance.

Éléments biographiques
Homme d'église et de cour, Faustino Perisauli devient l'un des précepteurs de la maison d'un autre humaniste, Francesco Colonna (auquel on attribue l'Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, ou Songe de Poliphile). C'est à cette époque qu'il compose son De honestu appetitu.

De Triumpho Stultitiae
On doit à Perisauli un petit volume en vers écrit en latin et intitulé De Triumpho Stultitiae, dans lequel certains<ref>Dont Giovanni Papini dans les années 1930, puis Alberto Viviani et Giannino Fabbri, éditeurs de la réédition de 1963 du De Triumpho stultitiae", Il Fauno Editore, Florence, 1963 ; ou encore Giorgio Taboga (voir « Faustino Perisauli, poeta romagnolo, precursore di Erasmo da Rotterdam », Episteme, 5, 21 mars 2002.).</ref> ont vu une source d'inspiration de l'Éloge de la Folie d'Érasme, quand d'autres considèrent qu'il en est plutôt une imitation.

Peel eggplant and cut into ¼ inch thick slices. Beat eggs and set aside. Meanwhile, mix almond flour with Parmesan cheese.
Dip the eggplant into the egg mixture and then into the parmesan cheese mixture until thoroughly coated on both sides. Place the eggplant slices on a non-stick baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven until slices are tender and golden brown (should look a little dry) about 15 minutes.
While the eggplant is baking, combine the diced tomatoes and spaghetti sauce; simmer, allowing some of the moisture to evaporate.
Place drained and rinsed Palm Pasta in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Arrange baked eggplant on top, pour sauce over the eggplant, and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top (or layer slices). Bake for 20-30 minutes until mozzarella is melted and the palm pasta is heated through.


Cat Vomiting | Why Is Your Cat Throwing Up?
Cat vomiting. Is your cat throwing up?
Why is your cat vomiting?
Vomiting in cats – what causes it, what can you do, and how serious is it if your cat is vomiting blood?
Find out just why your kitty is throwing up, and how to care for it when it does. The first thing to do is to discover why your cat is vomiting.
The sight of cats throwing up isn't pleasant, and it can be extremely worrying. But there are many reasons for vomiting in cats, from minor digestive upsets and hairballs to much more serious problems.
The chances are that if the vomiting isn't happening very often, the reason is likely to be one of the minor ones.
But if cats keep on vomiting, the problem may be a little more serious.
So, what's in the vomit?
Take a good look at your cat's vomit.
Yes, I'm sorry, and I know you'd rather not, but you do want to find out why your kitty is sick, don't you? It helps if you pretend you're a CSI!
You can tell a lot from a cat's vomit, and if you need advice from a vet, the more you can tell them, the better.
Is the vomit clear? Or is it frothy, yellow or green?
Outdoor cats (and cats with indoor 'grass gardens') sometimes eat grass if they're feeling a little unwell, to make themselves throw up. If the vomit is clear with grass in it, and your pet seems otherwise well, there's probably no reason to worry.
If you have a long haired cat who's thrown up what looks like a mass of fur, it's probably a hairball.
The occasional hairball is OK (see prevention, below) but cats vomiting hairballs repeatedly may be a problem, as this can lead to hair moving further down the digestive tract where it can cause a blockage.
A veterinarian will be able to advise you on the best course of action for hairballs.
Cats vomiting food may just indicate overfeeding. Again, once is probably nothing to worry about, but if this happens repeatedly, get your cat checked out by a vet in case there's a more serious underlying reason.
A mass of spaghetti-like worms?
These are worms. Don't attempt to treat them yourself. Contact your veterinarian for the best course of action.
If you can bear it, scoop the worms into a container and take them with you to the vet's so that they can be identified.
A cat vomiting blood is always a sign of concern and very likely to indicate something quite serious.
Contact your veterinarian for advice.
Frothy, yellow or green vomit?
Vomiting of frothy, yellow, or green bile may indicate a viral or bacterial infection. Again, call your vet.
Are there any other signs of illness?
Is your pet still eating and drinking? Are there any other signs of illness, like diarrhea? Does he look hunched, miserable, or lacking his usual energy?
All these things can tell you whether your pet is seriously ill or not.
It's very important to make sure that your cat is still drinking. Frequent and continuous vomiting (and diarrhea) in cats can lead to them getting severely dehydrated.
If the cat has any other signs of illness, get them checked out by a vet as soon as you can.
How serious is it when a cat keeps throwing up?
Continuous vomiting can lead to dehydration. This is a serious condition which can be fatal if not treated.
Any digestive disorders in cats have the potential to be serious. The quicker you seek professional help to find out what the problem is, the better.
And the sooner he's treated, the more quickly your cat will recover.
Wet food, if left down for too long can spoil very quickly, especially in the heat. If it isn't all eaten in one go, pick up what's left and either throw it out or refrigerate it.
If your kitty has vomited once but seems otherwise well and is drinking water, he is probably fine.
If he's off his food (but seems OK otherwise, and drinking) avoid feeding him for twenty-four hours, then give him a light meal – chicken, white fish, or something else easily digestible.
By that time he should be hungry, so if he refuses food, call the vet for advice.
A cat vomiting once or twice is probably nothing to worry about, especially if it seems otherwise well.
Vomiting in cats can be serious, though, so always seek professional help if you are at all worried about your cat's health.

For other people named Jake Scott, see Jake Scott (disambiguation).
Jacob E. "Jake" Scott III (born July 20, 1945) is a former American football free safety and punt returner who played from 1970 to 1978 for the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins of the National Football League. Scott went to the Pro Bowl five consecutive times between 1971, and 1975. He recorded 35 interceptions in his six seasons as a Dolphin, and another 14 in his three years with the Redskins. He was also a five-time All-Pro.
Scott wore number 13 throughout his career (a number not worn by NFL safeties today), which was later made famous in Miami by Dan Marino, and has since been retired in Marino's honor.
After growing up in Athens, Georgia, but playing high school football in Arlington, Virginia at Washington-Lee High School, Scott played college football at the University of Georgia, where he led Georgia in interceptions in 1967 with six interceptions and 1968 with ten interceptions. In 1967, Scott was named first-team All-SEC defensive back by the Associated Press, and in 1968 again in both the AP and the UPI. The ten interceptions in a season is now second-most in Georgia history behind Terry Hoage's 12 in 1982. Scott's 175 return yards on interceptions in 1968 is also second all-time for Georgia.
Scott's college career total of 315 interception return yards is the most in school history. He also holds the current Georgia record for career interceptions.
Scott was inducted into the State of Georgia Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Athens (GA) Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000.
It was announced on May 17, 2011 that Scott had been selected for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.
Scott left the University of Georgia after his sophomore year to go to Canada and play professional football in the CFL. Based on his July 20 birth date, Scott's military draft lottery number of record was 187. The highest administrative draft number called for Scott's year group was 195, suggesting that Scott could have been, but was not, drafted for military service during the Vietnam War as he had previously served in the U.S. Marines.
Scott began his professional career in 1969 in the Canadian Football League as a defensive back and kick returner with the BC Lions. He was drafted by the Dolphins in seventh round of the 1970 NFL Draft, where in his rookie year, he recorded five interceptions and returned one punt return for touchdown. The following year, he recorded seven interceptions and 318 punt return yards, helping the team reach Super Bowl VI, which they lost 24-3 to the Dallas Cowboys. Scott recorded a 21-yard punt return in the game.
Scott was a key member of the 1972 Miami Dolphins undefeated season, and was named Super Bowl MVP of Super Bowl VII, recording two interceptions in the Dolphins' 14-7 win over the Washington Redskins including one in the fourth quarter. He helped the Dolphins in their 24-7 Super Bowl VIII win, recording two fumble recoveries, 20 punt return yards, and 47 kickoff return yards in that game. He established 2 Super Bowl Records. Jake set a record by being the first player to recover 2 fumbles in one game. He also first established the record for most career fumble recoveries in Super Bowls at two, a record now shared by 12 others. Scott is still the only player to have recovered one of his own team's fumbles and one of his opponent's fumbles.
Overall, Scott finished his nine seasons with 49 interceptions. He made 35 interceptions playing 6 seasons for Miami, making him the Dolphins' all-time leader in that category,. Scott had 13 fumble recoveries in his career. On special teams, he gained 1,357 yards and a touchdown returning punts, and 137 yards on six kickoff returns.
Scott played for the Redskins the final 3 years of his career.
Scott was one of only three living Super Bowl MVPs who did not attend Super Bowl XL, when all previous MVPs were honored prior to the game. The other no-shows were Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana. Scott did attend Super Bowl 50 and was introduced during pre-game festivities.
Scott is currently an investor in Hawaii.
Jake Scott was inducted with Bill Stanfill into the Miami Dolphins Honor Roll on November 18, 2010.

Matt Baker of Useful Charts has designed a wonderful high-resolution wall chart (bigger) that explains how each letter of the alphabet developed over several periods within thousands of years. The chart shows how modern English language emerged from the ancient Proto-Sinaitic script of biblical times to the Phoenician alphabet to the Archaic Greek alphabet to Archaic Latin to Roman script and the modern Roman form we know and use now. Baker reveals that while the chart arranges the letters according to the English alphabet, the letters are not originally English.
