Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 25) — Two Philippine Air Force (PAF) pilots died after their plane crash-landed in Pilar, Bataan Wednesday morning, according to PAF spokesperson Col. Ma. Consuelo Castillo.
In a statement, Castillo said the SF260TP Marchetti aircraft with tail number 701 took off at around 10:00 a.m. at Danilo Atienza Air Base in Sangley Point, Cavite City for the pilots' recurrency or training flight.
"At around 10:40 a.m., the aircraft was reportedly seen to be descending to a field in Sitio Tabon, Brgy. Del Rosario, Pilar, Bataan where it eventually crashed," she said.
Castillo said no civilian casualties were reported.
She earlier told reporters they received the last signal from the military plane at around 10:34 a.m. before losing track of its flight.
"Our aircraft accident investigation team is already at the site for a thorough investigation, while our SF260TP fleet has been grounded," she said.
According to the Northern Luzon Command, the bodies of the pilots were transferred to Martinez Funeral Homes in Pilar town.
Castillo described the SF260TP as a light attack combat aircraft which is a "highly maneuverable and fully aerobatic basic trainer aircraft of the PAF."
"It was used during the Marawi siege and various combat missions of the PAF," she said, adding that it is capable of performing various tasks including close air support, battlefield air interdiction, aerial reconnaissance, persuasion flight, and aerial demonstration.
The PAF vowed to assist the bereaved families and that it will continue its usual mandate of giving air support for focused military operations and disaster response.
The crash comes after a Cessna plane with six people on board went missing in Isabela province on Tuesday.

Afghanistan, China, Tajikistan, Central Asia
Islamic State claims Tajik behind attack on Chinese in Kabul
In response, Beijing urged its nationals to leave Afghanistan. Then a Chinese firm signed a big new oil deal in the country's north.
Lucas Webber Jan 11, 2023
Abdul Jabbar (left), the Tajik militant ISKP claims helped lead the attack on Chinese interests in Kabul. (Amaq)
Last month, in the weeks following an assault at a Kabul hotel frequented by Chinese businesspeople, Islamic State militants were tightlipped. While celebrating – and exaggerating – the destruction, the group's propagandists said little about the attackers who gravely injured five Chinese nationals, killed several Afghan security officers, and prompted Beijing to ask its citizens to leave the country.
Now Islamic State says the bombing and shootout were co-led by a Tajik man who managed to escape and go on to kill several Taliban in a suicide bombing at a Kabul airport checkpoint on January 1.
In the wake of the December 12 attack on Kabul Longan Hotel, IS Telegram channels featured chatter about the involvement of Central Asian jihadists. But nothing was confirmed until January 5, when IS's official weekly newsletter, al-Naba, announced that the attacker was a man named Abdul Jabbar. Jabbar, it said, was born to a wealthy family in Tajikistan, though he grew up largely abroad; it did not say where. Al-Naba featured a photo of Jabbar on the cover and a two-page article celebrating his martyrdom. Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP), the group's Afghanistan and Pakistan branch, this week promised to release a video praising the men and criticizing the Taliban for its warm relations with China.
Jabbar's Tajik background is yet another indicator of ISKP's push to build support in post-Soviet Central Asia. Over the past year, the Kabul region has been a hotspot for Islamic State cells involving Tajik militants, and Jabbar joins the growing list of "martyrs" from Tajikistan extolled by ISKP as examples to follow.
The June 2022 attack on a Sikh temple in Kabul was conducted by Tajikistan-born Abu Muhammad al-Tajiki, ISKP claimed with glowing profiles in its magazines. Al-Tajiki was described as a jack of all trades in Kabul: running a suicide bomber training cell, overseeing ISKP's Tajik media wing, writing books, articles and magazines.
The newly prominent role of Central Asian militants coincides with increasing propaganda in the Tajik and Uzbek languages, which ISKP uses to amplify ideologues from Central Asia and spread its message there. In late November ISKP published a biography on the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan-turned-ISKP cleric Asadullah al-Urgenchi ("from Urgench" in Uzbekistan's Khorezm province). Urgenchi, who probably died in 2015, remains a potent influence among ISKP's Central Asian sympathizers; the profile saluted the role Uzbeks have played in contributing to the movement.
Beyond propaganda, ISKP has been waging a multi-pronged effort to expand north of the Amu Darya river, with recruitment, fundraising and violence – notably with rocket attacks on border regions of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan last spring.
Islamic State grievances against China pre-date the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan in 2021. IS and the Taliban were sworn enemies as far back as 2015. Later, as global powers, including China, began to negotiate with Taliban leaders in the waning days of the Islamic Republic, IS saw an opportunity to highlight China's abuse of its own Muslims and poison the friendship.
Now that the Taliban is in control, and China one of the few powers willing to do business in Afghanistan, Chinese interests have become a target for militants wishing to spoil Taliban attempts to build a functioning state.
After the hotel attack, as is typical, Islamic State boasted an exaggerated death toll and defended its wrath. Al-Naba lamented that though Muslims worldwide are distraught over Beijing's treatment of its Muslims in Xinjiang, "sadly these campaigns were no more than words and images." In contrast, Islamic State "sought fastidiously to put its threats towards China into action on the ground […] initiating the journey of vengeance."
This all makes China's plans to develop oilfields in several northern Afghan provinces, announced by a Taliban official on January 5, a possible target. Though China has not formally recognized the Taliban government, Xinjiang Central Asia Petroleum and Gas is reportedly planning to spend $540 million over three years as part of a 25-year extraction deal, the first between the Taliban and a foreign company.
ISKP's Uzbek-language Tawhid News has already threatened attacks on Belt and Road infrastructure and gas pipelines running toward China.
The oilfields "will add to existing security problems in northern Afghanistan by attracting militants who want to target Chinese interests," regional expert Bruce Pannier wrote on January 10. "The Chinese-backed oil project in northern Afghanistan would be a magnet for ISKP militants," and thus a headache for Central Asian governments, he added.

I decided to take a longer trip to other blocks in this October-looking day but at least I saw them first time in full.
I'm sure this used to be red. These colours are much better. It is also a unique-looking one: two blocks, almost unique, but the entrance is in another part that's in between them.
This is very special. There's not much that kind of architecture of soviet-time technical sovhoz-buildings.
Also in that autumn there were so many apples everywhere, as it looks like from this photo.
Another example of (once) technical building which has extra architectural details.
Here I reached yet another small block area right next to the centre of town.
Now I'm walking along the main street.
I was happy: my way back to Tartu was IMPRESSive, that is, impressionist, but thankfully in the bus.

Korea – The DMZ
Next: Going to China on the most ad hoc trip ever. And I caught a cold.
A pig has 30 minute orgasms. That's what I learn when I hang out with an Aussie girl for a day.
Also, went to the DMZ today. I got to see N. Korea as close as any American can get.
Also went into one of the tunnels they dug trying to get over here, which they painted with black paint to make it look like they were just digging for coal (rofl?).
There is a village just next to the DMZ, they call it "propoganda village", because it's made only to make the North look rich.
Though it has no electricity.
And the farmers never actually grow anything.
And in fact they're just starving their people and making the Free world pay for their subservient army while they sit atop a potential missle crisis.
Kim Jong il uses so much electricity for his personal auditorium that the capital city is usually without power.
The history of the North and South, on the English tourist panels, is insanely brief and kind of whimsical.
Sometime during the Black ages – Three Dynasties in Korea. The Silla dynasty comes out on top.
Sometime after that – The Gora dynasty steps in from Manchuria (where the name Korea comes from).
Fifteenth century – The Joseong dynasty takes over, creates Korean alphabet, then gets seriously owned in a genocidal war against the Japanese. 90% of Korean civilization is burnt to the ground…then restored later on.
1910 – Japan colonizes Korea again. This lasts a long time and is a God-awful event but hey everyone was doing it at the time.
1945 – The Soviet Union takes North Korea as a colony (influenced through Marxism), and the U.S. and allies take South Korea.
1950 – After five years the North invades the South in an effort to unify the entire country under a communist regime. The North is aided by Russia and China while the South is aided by America. in 1953 they have an armistice agreement at the 38th parallel. Kim il Sung becomes the "God" of North Korea while Rhymee becomes president of the South.
1960s – The North prospers because all the energy facilities and resources are in the north. The South meanwhile goes through a couple military coups until Park Chong Hee comes along and becomes president for nearly 20 years.
1970s – The South surpasses the North in miraculous man-power and intelligence. All the intellectuals that were sent to foreign schools in Germany and America have returned and they help give the South a huge economic boom. The North by this time is starting to fall under the strains of a spurious ideology. The same is going on in Russia and China. Also, a surge of Northern spies are sent to the South through secret subs, from Japan, and through underground tunnels.
1980s – Park is assassinated and replaced by more military coups, each one a bit more democratic than the last. There are also many assassination attempts of South Korean presidents, a terrorist bombing that was authorized by Kim Jung il in egypt. That's right, there's overwhleming evidence that Kim Jong Il authorized terrorist-style bombings from N. Korean assassins. One woman was caught, and pretended to be a Japanese tourist.
The story goes, upon seeing Seoul (the South's capital) the female terrorist from the North burst into tears and admitted everything about what she had done. The North had taught her since childhood that South Korea was nothing but huts and starving families that "had to be liberated from the evils of capitalism." The South let her go as she had obviously been brainwashed. She then recieved hundreds of marriage proposals…
1990s – South Korea emerges as a modern-industrial country with an enduring infrastructure and a still-booming economy. North Korea is going through a recession that will eventually turn into a depression worse than any the western world has known since WWII.
Russia, East Germany and China all collapse, but North Korea refuses to change though it's struggles are on par with the others. This is because the apotheosis that is required to make any sane country convert to communism (Stalin, Mao) is strongest in North Korea
A doctor friend of mine who works with the UN once performed operations in the North. He was never thanked, but immediately the North Korean he had cured would begin bowing to a picture of Kim il Sung for thanks.
But I digress. The point is that the South had been doing an awful lot better than the North, but my visit to the DMZ verified the amount of BS passing through from one side to the other. First, there were very few trees on the North Korean side, in fact if you look at it from China they are stripped bare because people eat the bark. There are no running rails or cars, the farmers only pretend to be farming but nothing is ever grown.
When the South puts up a flag, the North's MUST be higher up. The South sees it as trivial and lets the North have their way.
Back to history. In 1997 the South went through a recession it has fully recovered from partially thanks to the U.S. (It gave more money to the IMF fund than South Korea had in it's entire treasury) and other western countries.
2000 – that brings me to the Sunshine Policy of "DJ" (Kim Dae Jung). He offers the first presidential meeting with Kim Jong Il and creates the Sunshine policy with the North (This stems from an old story that wind cannot make a man take off an ugly jacket, only giving him more sunshine can…). In other words the South will continue to give money over and over and over until the North decides to stop being such isolationists and let the seperated families reunite.
The point is that this was nearly 8 years ago when it seemed the two countries would unify. Kim Jong il has no running economy, and many sources claim he doesn't give a shit at all about his starving people (from North Korean refugees). All the money and food that's given to the North goes straight to their army. It made all the sense in the world that eight years ago the North would be forced into tearing down it's communist walls to the world as did East Germany. But eight years is a long freaking time to be in denial about something, and the South Korean youth no longer show any interest in reunifying. Instead they're pissed off at the shabby use of aid and the desperate attempts of the North to become relevant to the world by threatening it with nukes. In the next election, they're going to vote for someone anti-North.
So here's the case today. The South has created railways into the North, they have given a ton of aid, they have even started incentive programs offering thousands of tons of rice to be dropped into the north despite their nuclear ambitions. It seems to me the South has done nothing but bend over and play ball and in the past eight years nothing has come of it but more nuclear threats. Hell, the North even tried to get more money by claiming that the "secret tunnels" that they built in the 1970s to attack the South should "route all the money gained from tourism to the North" because they built those tunnels.
Anyways, there.

JAPAN Traveling.
Though the Japanese still lead in the post-modern pop art movement, simply taking a Japanese bullet train through the countryside and small cities made me realize just how iconic Japanese culture is, even in the United States. One art critic called Japanese culture the only post-modern culture that rivals that of the entire conglomeration of westernization.
Take this view:
A monumentous backdrop of mammouth factories and deposits, fenced off and set against Japanese style wooden houses that could ignite in an instant.
This view from the Kyoto train station before boarding:
The subtle colors of sprawling industry that moved as they say like "a dragon" in the 1970s, an economic miracle from a place of very limited resources. Like Korea, they squeezed their power from every hard-working Japanese person they could find.
And yet while on a Japanese bullet train, the most frequent sights weren't factories, buildings or lights…but Japanese ancestrial graves. Tons of them pervading the countryside as common and clustered as herds of cattle in the American mid-west.
As well as funerary hills, from a train or taxi we could spot frequent shrines, perhaps five times as many as we see driving through Korea (partly Japan's fault for that), as well as castle's peeking through brush:
When we weren't on the road we were sleeping in Japanese saunas, or traditional houses with public bathrooms and mats such as this:
On the way back we took a BEETLE Ferry, which is a boat that skis on the water like an ice-skater:
Anyways, it was heavy.
The entire time we were in Japan, Cam's Korean girlfriend would continue to repeat: "Japan isn't better than Korea, right?" So we would tell her how rude Japanese people were, though they are so kind and only being polite, or we would tell her how dirty it was, though it had the cleanest cities I have ever walked through, or we would talk about how dangerous it felt there, though walking to the motel drunk at three a.m., random people helped guide us back to the motel.
I feel like Quentin Compson anytime I talk about Japan in Korea, like I can't help but think what I do and say what I really don't mean…
"No…I'm not one of those Americans who falls in love with Japan after a couple of visits. Really, I don't love Japan–I don't LOVE Japan!"
2007 Traveling – August 5, OSAKA
At nearly 20 million people, Osaka isn't an easy case-study when it comes to "drive-by" tourism.
After the long boat ride to Foukoka and refamiliarizing myself with the currency, language and habits of the Japanese, we bought a twenty-thousand yen ($200) railpass to see the entire western half of Japan. Before heading there we spent the night in a Japanese spa, sense neither me nor my traveling companions ever thought it very adventerous to make hotel reservations.
Spending the night in a spa is an experience nobody should miss. First off you get clean as hell, as in rubbing your skin until it turns bright red (which everyone can see cuz, well, it's a bathhouse). I'm reminded of the Greek gymnasiums, where back in the day training the body was just as important as training the mind, and it was casual to have libraries in gyms and bathhouses. Japanese have that, and it seems like scrubbing and exercising go right along with reading and studying in the spa.
We had to travel through three hours of Japanese countryside on a high-speed bullet train before arriving in Osaka Station Terminal. Osaka is a city surrounded by water, the "water capital" and "food capital" of Japan; Osaka to me was just big as hell. From the Osaka towers you can look in every direction using a telescope, and still the buildings seem to extend indefinately.
Serrendipitously, one member of our group (not saying who) flirted enough with a Japanese girl to get us reliable directions to the hot spots. The first was Osaka castle. The last picture is from the top of the castle we visited, though to get there we had to move through a carnival of festivals and celebrations, losing each other in the mess of rock concerts and cheap beer while the sky was filled with balloons and helicopters.
As a westerner, the castle seemed far more like a medieval fortress than the sustained, subtle architecture I imagined from Dark Ages Japan. In fact, the castle is surrounded by two seperate moats, then built ontop of three gigantic foundations.
Oour tour of the castle was maimed by the lionizing of one of Japan's greatest unifiers, who also attempted to "genocide out" the Kingdoms of the Korean Penninsula in the sixteenth century: the axe-wielding Toyotomi Hideyoshi. I recall my brother's girlfriend expressing her nationalistic attitude: "How can they treat him like hero? He is monster!" My response: "Andrew Jackson wasn't all that great either."
I barely remember the Osaka nightlife. According to the guide, there are two big spots for nightlife, one that's "Western orientated" and another that's authentic Japanese, obviously we went to the "authentic" one.
Here's what we got: Incredibly talented dart players winning drinks galore while we sat around consuming expensive but miniscule cocktails and watching older Japanese businessmen hitting on the younger boys and girls.
"authenticity" we desired…
Osaka was fun. I can't begin to encapsulate it within a single blog…It's big, and there's lots of water.
Something I learned in Japan the last two times I came: judging by personality, the Japanese are nothing like Koreans. Perhaps this was my own prejudice, thinking they might act alike. But where Koreans are super-shy and self-conscious, Japanese will stare you down and offer conversations at a whim, perhaps because they really don't care so much about you. Japan's also far cleaner than Korea, and though it's people seem far more polite than Koreans (Koreans have spat at my feet, casually), they are also a bit less honest and overtly friendly. This is just my impression from people in Fukouka and Osaka–mostly Osaka. Yet, like Koreans (and probably Americans too), their ostensible pride hits you harder than the stunning lights, the steaming pork ramen and the overly-modern bullet trains.
They also seem to revel in their perversions. Or perhaps perversions is the wrong word, none of them are perverse, in fact, as Erich Fromm would have said, when taboos are absent there is also the absence of shame. Japan is surreal, and free, and conspicuous, when it comes to sexuality. Shameless, one could say. Uninhibited, one could also say.
Even though Osaka is the ninth-biggest city in the world, I was completely unhindered walking the backstreets at 5am. Japan lives up to its reputation. Like Korea it's strangely safe.

As an electronic commerce exponentially grows, the number of transactions and participants who use e-commerce applications has been rapidly increased. Since all the interactions among participants occur in an open network, there is a high risk for sensitive information to be leaked to unauthorized users. Since such insecurity is mainly created by the anonymous nature of interactions in e-commerce, sensitive transactions should be secured. For this the system combines the various encryption techniques like AES, MD5 and DES. Here the data(plain text) is being encrypted using AES, DES whereas MD5 is applied to the same plaintext to generate key.

After all the leaks, rumours and speculations, HTC has finally officially announced the HTC One Mini. HTC had teased the announcement of One Mini on twitter earlier, and now they have finally revealed the first look.
The HTC One Mini looks exactly like the original HTC One, but just a little smaller. It has the same metallic design and inclusion of BoomSound, dual frontal speakers.
We have seen Valve pushing all of its games and of course their platform steam towards linux lately, but it appears that they aren't the only ones who have set their minds towards open source adoption. Crytek is planning on taking its first step towards open source with their powerful CryEngine 3 game development tool, as it now plans to bring it to Linux.
The Nexus 7 rumours have been floating around the internet for quite a long time. However, like all secrets that end up being leaked, this is the first time that definitive pictures of Nexus 7 have been revealed and leaked over the internet.
Since its release, Google Glass has been receiving negative criticism for the device's picture and video capability, and also being labeled as a technology useful for only early adopters with very limited real world application. But the thing is, without much apps released that can take proper advantage of the system, it is just too early to judge its actual potential, which, given the proper apps, is actually quite huge.
All of the netizens, who are somewhat enlightened on the Android scene, have been holding their wallets under immense restraint for the next Nexus pricing to be announced. Now finally there might be concrete evidence suggesting a price point for the upcoming device.
BBM for Android had been confirmed by BlackBerry to arrive this summer and considering that it's the month of July already, we still haven't seen any sign of it. Although it was rumored to appear on the 27th of June, which was tweeted and deleted by T-Mobile UK BlackBerry still maintains a firm stance on the summer release announcement. It seems that there has been a misunderstanding about the "summer" part.


LOS ANGELES (AP) Although Ryan Miller and coach Willie Desjardins refuse to get excited too early, the Vancouver Canucks are on an early-season roll through their Pacific Division opponents' home buildings.
Miller made 15 saves in his 36th career shutout, Adam Cracknell scored his second goal in two games, and the Canucks completed a Southern California sweep with a 3-0 victory over the winless Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
Alexander Edler had a goal and an assist, and Derek Dorsett added an empty-net goal for the Canucks, who followed up a 2-1 shootout win over Anaheim on Monday by improving to 3-0-1.
Desjardins preached caution against overconfidence from the Canucks' California double, even after a victory that was never really in doubt.
Miller is off to a strong start after matching his career high with six shutouts last season, his first with the Canucks. Not even the veteran goalie imagined the Canucks would win their first three road games of the season, particularly against two playoff teams and a recent Stanley Cup champion. Vancouver also won at Calgary in its season opener.
Jonathan Quick stopped 23 shots for struggling Los Angeles, which has been outscored 11-2 while losing three straight home games to open the season.
Since Nick Shore scored 1:49 into their season opener, the Kings have managed just one goal in 178 minutes, 11 seconds. Their power play is 0 for 13.
Quick made several big saves in his best effort of the season after giving up nine goals in Los Angeles' first two games, but the two-time Stanley Cup champion and 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner got no support from his teammates. The Kings' championship-winning veterans have seen enough.
For the second straight night, the Canucks got another unlikely offensive contribution from Cracknell. The veteran forward hadn't scored in 49 games since April 4, 2013, until he scored in back-to-back games in Southern California.
One night after banking a weird shot off Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen for his seventh career NHL goal, Cracknell got his eighth with a one-timer that ricocheted off Quick, who didn't anticipate the shot being so far off-target.
Vancouver failed to score on a 5-on-3 advantage for 80 seconds later in the second, but Edler made it 2-0 with a long shot on a cross-ice pass from Henrik Sedin.
The Kings came up empty on three straight power plays early in the third period, and they rarely threatened to score before Dorsett wrapped it up.
NOTES: Jake Virtanen made his NHL debut for Vancouver, playing nearly 9 1-2 minutes and recording three hits. The 19-year-old forward was the sixth overall pick in 2014, and the British Columbia native made the Canucks' roster out of training camp after spending most of last season in juniors. ... Vancouver had lost six of eight to Los Angeles before winning the Pacific Division rivals' last three meetings.
This story has been corrected to show that the coach is Willie Desjardins.

Q: How to obtain an unified expression for the symbolic integral? When I use the Mathematica to obtain the integral of the symbolic expression, the output result seems not to be applied for all the cases. For example I use the code
Integrate[Cos[m Pi x] Cos[n Pi x], {x, 0, 1},
Assumptions -> m \[Element] Integers && n \[Element] Integers]

to calculate the integral $$\int\cos (m\pi x)\cos (n \pi x)\,\mathrm{d}x$$
The output is
$$\frac{m \sin (\pi  m) \cos (\pi  n)-n \cos (\pi  m) \sin (\pi  n)}{\pi  m^2-\pi  n^2}$$
I define a function with respect to the variables $m$ and $n$
f[m_, n_] := (

Obviously, the function $f(m,n)$ is only applicable for the cases $m\neq n$. Some assumptions are made during the calculation by Mathematica. Now I want to obatin the unified expressions for the integral, for example, The result can be a conditional expression.

LITHUANIA (Lietuva as it is called by its own citizens), the largest and southernmost of the three Baltic states, the first of the republics to break free from the Soviet Union this inspiring her other Baltic neighbours to follow, with one of the world's oldest language, related to Sanskrit, a religious and literary language of India.
Its area is 65,2 thousand sq km (a bit larger than Denmark or Switzerland), population 3.7 mln, official language Lithuanian, religion predominantly Roman Catholic, currency Litas and cents.
Lithuania borders with Latvia in the north, Belarus in the east and south, Poland and Kaliningrad (Konigsberg) district of Russian Federation in the west. The Baltic seacoast belonging to Lithuania is only 99 km long but is famous for its kilometers long beaches of white clean sand and a unique Curonian Spit, a narrow sandy area with dunes, low-growing pine woods and popular resorts, lying between the Curonian Lagoon and the Baltic Sea. According to the French Geographical Institute, Lithuania lies in the exact centre of Europe.
Lithuanian landscape is mostly low-lying plains and hilly uplands up to 300 m high. About 28 % of the country is covered by forests, 40 % of them are pines. Wild berries and mushrooms grow in abundance and the picking of them is the most popular hobby of local people. There are 3000 lakes, the majority in the Eastern part of the country, called Aukstaitija (the Highland) and in the southern part, called 'Dzukija' due to a peculiar peoples' dialect in which sounds 'dz 'and 'ts' dominate. About 300 species of birds can be found in Lithuania and 4 Nature Reservations are their breeding grounds. White storks - the most popular birds, returning to Lithuania every spring exactly to their nests from a distant Egypt where they spend winters. The best of country's scenery can be seen in its 5 National Parks in different parts of Lithuania, differing in their landscape, wooden farms, quantity of lakes or hills.
The Lithuanian language is an Indo-European language with roots in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India. The only similar language is Latvian. So both of them belong to the Baltic linguistic group. But of the two, Lithuanian has preserved more of its archaic character which makes it very interesting to linguists.
As Lithuania coverted to Christianity only in 1387, the last country in Europe to do so, we have many festivals with Catholic and pagan traditions. St.John's Night on June 23 eve, with its bonfires,singing and dancing ( as in Latvia), is a continuation of a pagan tradition of Rasos,the old summer solstice festival,held on the eve of Midsummer's Day. All Souls' Day on November 1 when the whole Lithuania lights candles at cemeteries,is a pagan autumn festival in honour of the dead.Even at Christmas Eve, the old winter solstice festival, we have an old tradition for the family to meet and taste 12 courses - symbolizing 12 Apostles.
Of many secular festivals,the most spectacular are Song and Dance Festivals, as in Latvia and Estonia, held every 4 years in July. As the richest part of the Lithuanian cultural heritage is folk music. We have many ethnographic ensembles performing local old songs of the area,dances and instrumental music.About half a million old Lithuanian folk songs are collected. In Dzukija,the southern part of Lithuania you can hear the most remarkable ancient polyphonic songs, known as 'sutartines',which are unique. Lithuanian folk art has ancient pagan motifs,connected with the Sun,the moon,mingled with Christian symbol,the cross. Very often in Lithuanian countryside you can see wooden crosses,made by local handicraftsmen featuring the cross or the crucifix with a stylized sun, moon, flowers and plants.
Major towns and cities in Lithuania: Vilnius,the capital, Kaunas, Klaipeda(the sea-port), Panevezys, Siauliai.
The capital Vilnius with a population of 580 thousand, preserves a multicultural flavour of the 15th - 18th centuries, its central-European architecture nicely contrasting with the Scandinavian or German influence felt on the other two Baltic capitals,Riga and Tallinn. Although its Jewish quarter is now a sad shadow of its former self, the Old Town is rather intact, with the domes of the Orthodox churches competing for attention with the towers of the more numerous Catholic ones. The skyline of Old Vilnius is a marvel of Gothic and Baroque spires, domes and crosses. The outstanding quality of Vilnius Old Town has gained it a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. Vilnius boasts one of the greatest assemblages of Baroque monuments outside Rome. While the panorama of the city centre now is decorated by multistoreyed buildings adding a lot to the modern city image, pretty well suiting to the rhythm and style of the 21st century.
One should not miss a red-brick early 15th c. Gothic Castle in Trakai, just 28 km from Vilnius, Lithuania's best known and most impressive small town with a glorious history and a fantastic landscape - 5 lakes surrounded.
Explore a retro atmosphere of Kaunas, Lithuania's second largest city, the interim capital between the two world wars, when Vilnius belonged to Poland.
Although often mentioned together with Latvia and Estonia, Lithuania is very different from its two northern neighbours with its history standing in total contrast to theirs. While Estonia and Latvia lived under permanent foreign rule, in the early 13th century Lithuania established itself as a powerful independent state. Lithuanian King Mindaugas united separate principalities in 1240 into a powerful independent state. After 200 years of constant wars with the German Teutonic Knights, Lithuania survived and was never conquered by them. On the contrary, the Lithuanian army defeated a powerful Crusaders' Order together with Polish troops in 1410 in a famous Grunwald battle.At that time, in the 15th century the Lithuanian Grand Principality was one of the largest states in Europe, with its borders stretching from the Baltic up to the Black Sea. The contacts with Poland which started in the 14th century when the Duke of Lithuania Jogaila married a Polish Princess Jadvyga and became the King of Poland, were more and more close. In 1387 Lithuania became a Catholic country. In 1569 both countries made a royal union, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ,which existed till the end of the 18th century when three more powerful countries, Russia,Austria and Prussia, divided it between themselves. The major part of Lithuania fell to the Czarist Russian Empire, up to the World War I. As the other two Baltic States, Lithuania became an independent country in 1918-1940, in 1940 was incorporated into the USSR . Actually after the World War I - the history was the same for all three Baltic countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: independence of about 20 years in 1918-1940, incorporation into the USSR in 1940,nazi occupation, and again the fate returned all three Baltic States back to the Soviet Union, up to the year 1990 when independence of all three states was re-established. Now it is a member of European Union and NATO, accepting all challenges of the 21st century as other countries of the world.

Q: How to code a c program which autocompletes options and commands like any command like tar or ls? Almost any command in linux is written in C or Bash (mostly c).
Some specific commands like ls & tar are written in C language. They have an ability to autocomplete commands and options like
ls -l
tar x

on hitting <tab>  key. I want to implement the same I have a very little idea about how they work, I've read about the readline library which helps us in autocompletion. But the thing is I haven't found any line like
#include <readline/readline.h> in the original c file by GNU at github. I am curious about finding that and implementing autocompletion in real-time.
I have tried of getting some information about the readline library. But, I couldn't find much helpful. I would like to learn more about autocompletion in linux commands which are purely written in c.

Greater Springfield Health Summit
Local health professionals, peak bodies and leaders in the health sector today joined the Shadow Minister for Health and Medicare Catherine King MP and local Federal Member Milton Dick MP for the 2018 Greater Springfield Heath Summit.
This important gathering of health professionals discussed the challenges faced by the rapidly growing region and the community's future health care needs.
Local MP Milton Dick said the Summit was a great success that ensured the voices of local health professionals were heard.
"Today we saw GPs, other doctors and many others join Catherine and I to provide an insight into what challenges they face in our region, and what we can do to support them" said Mr Dick.
"I've recently been approached by more and more people who are concerned about the rapid growth in health care costs and the need to ensure we keep Medicare –our universal health care system - accessible and affordable.
"Medicare has been at the centre of health care for millions of Australians and we must protect it into the future. Our community should be particularly proud of Medicare as it was created right here in 1973 by the former Member for Oxley, the Hon. Bill Hayden."
Doctors were quick to discuss how the ongoing Medicare rebate freeze was affecting both patients and health providers.
The LNP's Medicare freeze is cutting $2.2 billion from Medicare over the next four years – on top of the billions in savings they have already banked.
"While people here are struggling to afford basic health care, Malcolm Turnbull is so out-of-touch that he is yet to lift any part of his Medicare freeze", said Mr Dick. "Rebates for GPs, specialists and allied health services all remain frozen, and the freeze won't be fully lifted until 2020".
Australian Medical Association President Michael Gannon recently pointed to the Liberals' freeze on Medicare rebates as the biggest contributor to the growth of out-of-pocket costs in the past five years.
"Access to quality and affordable health care is one of my highest priorities for our community" said Mr Dick.
"I'll keep fighting to see that local residents and health professionals are given the support and resources they deserve.

I need to detect and stop when double TODOs happen because that is bad!
So detecting double TODO trips, I stop and fatal stack print that.

WILMINGTON, MA — The Wilmington-based iPods for Wounded Veterans recently presented its 2018 Teacher of the Year Award to Wilmington High School's Dawn Martell.
Sending letters written by students to injured servicemen and servicewomen across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts at the Bedford VA Hospital, Brockton VA Hospital, Chelsea Soldiers Home, Howard House in Brockton, and Bedford Green Veterans Home.
Sending letters written by students to injured servicemen and servicewomen across the country at veteran's hospitals in Maryland, Virginia and Arizona.
Martell received the award at the Wilmington School Committee Meeting on June 13. She also received a citation from the Massachusetts State House.
"Without the students and community of Wilmington this could not have happened. They're behind us 100%." said Martell during her brief remarks.


Around 40 MPs and members of the House of Lords joined sanctuary seekers and their supporters advocating for a fairer, more compassionate asylum system in the UK at the fifth Sanctuary in Parliament event on Monday 12th November.
The day-long event, which attracted groups across the City of Sanctuary network was hosted by Bristol West MP Thangam Debbonaire, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees (APPG), and the Brighton Pavilion MP, Caroline Lucas, Vice Chair, APPG.
The next expert by experience, Mohammed, followed on from Ms Green, and talked about his experience of being without his family, pointing to the barrier of the lack of legal aid which is preventing refugees from being reunited with their loved ones. Mohammed summed up the argument for an extension to family reunion rules succinctly and poignantly, "Family is in our DNA." Stuart McDonald MP, the Scottish National Party Spokesperson on Immigration, Asylum and Border Control, said it was "a wonderful event" and that no one should have to make a choice between seeking safety and being with their family.
As well as having experts by experience on the panel, Sanctuary Ambassadors were given the opportunity to ask questions directly to MPs. This ensured that the voice of sanctuary seekers were at the front and centre of the whole event. Ghassan, a Sanctuary Ambassador, talked about the complexity of family reunion cases and the lack of legal aid and asked what could be done. He also enquired as to how the panel would respond to the arguments that more children would be sent on dangerous journeys to seek safety if the family reunion rules were extended. In response, Tim Farron MP stated that there was no evidence that children were being sent on dangerous journeys for this purpose and in fact there is evidence is to the contrary. He also stated it was immoral to use children who had already arrived here as a deterrent by refusing them access to family reunion.
Another Sanctuary Ambassador, Anju from Leicester, asked the panel to comment on the possible proposals that the Government's might pilot to alter the automatic right to bail at two months instead of the current four months. Anju raised concerns that even if there was an automatic right to bail at one month, it should not be seen as an alternative to a 28 day time limit. Anju explained her personal experience of detention was that when she was in detention and applied for bail, it was refused because the Home Office said that "I was at risk of absconding because I had not been compliant. This was not true and they had no evidence to prove it but there was nothing I could do in the face of this injustice." Anju said that, in her experience, it appears as though the Home Office Immigration Officials are not accountable to anybody for using inaccurate information against her.
Mr Farron, in response to Mohammed's moving statement regarding the pain and suffering his family endured, said he was "absolutely sorry on behalf of my Government for what happened to your family." Moving forward, Mr Farron says, "we need to win these arguments and we need to win them wisely." He said, "We need to get our hands dirty to work with the Home Office to make the asylum system a fair and humane process." He pleaded with delegates to think carefully about the language we use when taking these issues to MPs. Mr Farron referred to the importance of the dignity of enabling someone to provide for one's own family and that felt that many MPs would get on board.
Another Sanctuary Ambassador movingly described the denial of right to work as tantamount to imprisonment, and said, "The asylum system paralyses you. One can only exist but not live." Another Sanctuary Ambassador brought many people to tears as she explained that she believes that not having the right to work contributed to her father's death.
The Experts by Experience on the panel and the Sanctuary Ambassadors, ensured that the morning session laid bare the inhumanity and the unfairness of the asylum system. Despite their painful experiences they were prepared to speak out, share their stories and join together with others to call for change – we thank each and every one of them for their courage.
Throughout the course of the day, MPs had the opportunity to meet and talk to people seeking sanctuary and their supporters. We thank all the MPs and Peers who listened so carefully to the personal experiences of people seeking sanctuary and the concerns of their constituents.
The story does not end here – it was a hugely successful event but this is just the beginning, it is imperative that we all work hard to keep up the momentum. There are urgent things we can all do and this article discusses how we can take the event forward.
Finally, a thank you to all our groups, partners, attendees and especially the experts by experience on the panel and all our Sanctuary Ambassadors for making the event such a massive success.
There are more pictures available here.


The berries from this Miracle Fruit plant temporarily alter the sense of taste. After eating a fruit, anything sour or acidic such as lemons and limes tastes incredibly sweet.
A large bush or small tree native to Ghana, Africa, miracle fruit is adapted to ultra-tropical rainforest environments, though will survive in sub-tropical locations. It requires acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5), high humidity, regular water, and bright light to perform well.
The berries contain a glycoprotein called miraculin which binds to the taste receptors on the tongue, blocking sour taste receptors and triggering sweet receptors when acidic (sour) food is eaten. The miraculin breaks down quickly when exposed to heat.
Once picked, miracle fruit only last for a few days before spoiling, which is why you don't see them in supermarkets.
Lobbying from the sugar industry in the 1970's led the FDA to classify this berry as a "food additive" even though it is completely natural with no known adverse reactions.
Plants usually take 5 years from seed to start bearing regular crops of fruit.

Play to win, but enjoy the fun
Home / Games / Rayman Origins
Rayman Origins March 30, 2020	Larry Winchester
Rayman Origins is the latest in the long-running platforming series published by Ubisoft, and developed by their internal Montpellier studio. It's also the first game to make use of the UbiArt Framework, a graphics engine that takes a lot of the technical aspects out of creating games with hand-drawn elements. With other engines, artists have to factor in movement and scaling to keep their images from being distorted. UbiArt Framework makes a lot of these factors moot as it handles them automagically, giving artists a chance to focus simply on creating great art, and then allowing them to animate the pieces by manipulating the individual object's silhouette. The result is a truly gorgeous 2D platformer that may well be the crown jewel of the genre's recent renaissance.
Rayman's gameplay is pure 2D platforming. It's all about precision jumping and fancy footwork, navigating harmful obstacles and a myriad of colorful and offbeat baddies. All the while you're collecting coins, or rather in this case sleepy little balls of light called "Lums." Along the way you'll cross a sea of punch, explore a mountain temple, and enlist the help of a flower king. Oh, but just so you know, there are piranha in the punch, the mountain temple is infested with swarms of bat-like creatures, and when you first meet the flower king he's 25 feet tall, covered in thorns and wants to eat you. Cute and challenging are two words that would go a long way toward describing this game.
There's nothing worse than a game that's difficult enough to require precision, only to give you control of a character that floats around or whose jumps seem ever so slightly delayed. Luckily that is not the case here, as Ubisoft nailed the controls. Everything from sprinting to jumping feels tight and responsive, and Rayman (or Globox, one of the tweenies, or any one of a number of other unlockable characters) seems to go exactly where you mean him to go. Replayability is also good as completionists will find themselves playing each level multiple times in an effort to collect all the Lums, find all the hidden Electoon cages, and earn all the time trial trophies.
Amid all the stuff that Ubisoft did right with this game- and they did so much right- I think the real unsung hero is the soundtrack. From the music in the opening cinematic that instigates the Darktoons to attack the Glade of Dreams, to well-crafted scores that complement each stage's theme and worm their way into your head with their sublime quirkiness, it all complements the art style so well.
In addition to being a great single player game, Rayman also features an up to four player co-op, a la New Super Mario Brothers, allowing you and three friends to navigate the hazards out there together. Luckily checkpoints are frequent, and since players that fall or get hit are 'bubblelized' and can get tagged back in by floating close to another player, progress is possible even if you have to carry a weak link. This will prove especially nice to those of you who like to game with your kids, or who have spouses who aren't as good at games as they think they are.
All in all, I can't think of much to complain about concerning this game. It looks and sounds great, the controls are solid and replayability is high. Lots of fun, lots of challenges, lots of heart, and lots of charm. In fact, the only negative thing I can even think to say is the game is 15 years too late to be a part of the genre's heyday and get the attention it deserves. Rayman Origins has been out since November 2011, and so far its story has been one of critical success but commercial disappointment. I think that will change over time, though, because despite the decline of 2D gaming, Rayman Origins is in it for the long haul. Games this good don't go unnoticed forever. If you are a fan of great platforming in the vein of classic Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog titles, you owe it to yourself to check this game out now.
In 1993 Slackers Music Movies Games was founded in downtown Columbia, Missouri, on Broadway Street, right smack dab in the middle of Middle America. Not just a record store and not just a gaming store, Slackers had the novel notion that people loved music, movies and games equally, so there needed to be a store to cater to them.
Slackers staffed its stores with music, game and movie aficionados who prided themselves not only on customer service but also on product knowledge. Slackers offered the opportunity to "Try before you buy," where customers were able to play any video game and listen to any CD to see if they really liked it before they purchased it.

Gabriella Cilmi To Headline Charity Ball For Age UK
Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi is the first artist revealed to be performing at Age UK's inaugural Vitality Ball in May.
The 'Sweet About Me' singer will be joined by a line-up of special performers who will entertain a star-studded audience at London's The Brewery in the City at 7.00pm on Thursday 5th May. Celebrity guests attending the event, hosted in partnership with E.on, will include Barbara Windsor, June Whitfield and Lionel Blair.
Guests will be treated to an evening of exclusive performances and entertainment, hosted by the stand-up comedian Roger Monkhouse, a regular writer on Channel 4's comedy panel show '8 Out of 10 Cats'. There will also be a live auction on the night with a selection of exclusive prizes, including the chance to bid for four tickets to the FA Cup Final in May.
Gabriella, whose single 'Sweet About Me' was the most played song of 2009, said: "The Vitality Ball should be a really fun evening. I can't wait to perform to all the special guests and celebrities who I hear will be there! Getting older is something which happens to us all, and Age UK does so much to help older people make the most of life. I hope the event will inspire people to dig deep and support the Charity's great work."
The Vitality Ball will be a vibrant celebration of the work carried out by Age UK, offering guests the chance to support an inspirational generation of older people. Funds raised through the evening will help reduce isolation and loneliness amongst people in later life, supporting vital services which help the one million older people living in the UK who say they are always or often feel lonely.
Age UK is the new force combining Age Concern and Help The Aged. The Charity provides free information, advice and support to over five million people, funds pioneering research into all aspects of getting older and offers services and vital support to help people enjoy a better later life.

The EU Leniency Policy offers a comprehensive description of the development of the policy, along with a normative framework that promises to ensure the full legitimacy of the leniency programme. To safeguard the legitimacy of the leniency programme, this book identifies that the European Commission's policy should pursue not only effectiveness but also fairness. It is the first work to extensively analyse the effectiveness and fairness of the EU leniency policy. The book looks at why leniency is important and examines to what extent the current policy is effective and fair. The European Union (EU) leniency programme is a key weapon in the Commission's fight against hard-core cartels which are the most harmful infringements in EU competition law. Much of the success of EU cartel enforcement depends on the continued effectiveness of the leniency policy and is especially critical in response to the growth of private enforcement. Looking back at the overall development since the inception of the first Leniency Notice, this book demonstrates that effectiveness and fairness have been successfully reconciled, and it has been updated to reflect the state of law as of 1 June 2017.
reforms brought about by the 2002 and 2006 Leniency Notices and the leniency-related amendments by the 2014 Antitrust Damages Directive.
The theme throughout all chapters is the reconciliation of effectiveness and fairness. After setting the scene in Chapter 1 and clarifying the key concepts of 'effectiveness' and 'fairness' in Chapter 2, the subsequent chapters deal with the development of the EU leniency policy. A key feature is the author's presentation of a normative framework to test the effectiveness (deterrence) and substantive fairness (retribution) of the EU leniency policy.
As a clear demonstration of how to forestall the danger of focusing on the effectiveness of leniency at the expense of fairness, both in a substantive and in a procedural sense, this book is a major contribution to the literature of competition law. It will prove to be of great value to competition authorities, antitrust practitioners and interested academics not only in Europe but also throughout the world.

Young peoples' bones stop growing by approximately age 20, somewhat earlier in women and somewhat later in men. Long bone growth, that is, in the arm, forearm, thigh, and leg, ceases later and smaller bone growth, that is, in the hands, feet, and spine, ceases earlier. In essence, you're as tall as you're going to be by your mid- to late teens, and at the latest, by approximately age 20 or so. A great deal of a person's height is comprised of the length of her or his spine and approximately 25% of the length of an adult human spine consists of the thickness of the intervertebral discs.
Intervertebral discs (IVDs) are cartilaginous structures, composed of a gelatinous center termed the nucleus pulposus and thick fibrocartilage bands encircling and supporting the inner ball bearing–like nuclear material. Together, the inner and outer structures create a hydraulic mechanism which adapts, moment by moment, to mechanical forces, primarily those of gravity, impinging upon the human form. The intricate design of the IVD helps to distribute outer mechanical forces efficiently, so that no single physiological component is required to support an excessive force or weight. Thus, IVD integrity is essential to normal human activities, and appropriate maintenance of the IVD cartilaginous structure is necessary to help ensure effective performance.
Obtaining sufficient water is the primary nutritional requirement of intervertebral discs. Therefore, drinking four to eight glasses of water each day will greatly assist in supporting one's function as a physiological machine. As well, physical activity is needed to help pump fluids into the IVD cartilage. When one is sedentary, as most of us are during the large majority of our waking hours, IVDs progressively lose water content over the course of the day. Dehydrated IVDs may lead to diminished spinal range of motion and increased stiffness, which may in turn cause muscular inflammation, neck pain, and low back pain.
Thus, we want to be sure we're taking steps to keep our IVDs healthy. In addition to engaging in regular exercise and drinking enough water, making sure we get regular chiropractic care helps support the integrity and efficient functioning of our intervertebral discs and the workings of our spinal columns as a whole. By detecting and correcting dysfunction of spinal intervertebral joints, regular chiropractic care boosts the functioning of IVDs, increases the mobility of the spine in all three dimensions, and optimizes spinal performance. By participating in healthy lifestyles and getting regular chiropractic care, we help maximize our health and well-being now and into the future.
