text: Using Emacs And RTags With Autools C++ ProjectsFeb 27, 2018Today I got RTags properly indexing a large autotools (autoconf/automake) C++ project, and I'm a very happy camper. Getting this set up properly was a lot of work, and took me a few hours. To me, properly working means:RTags is set up to intercept calls to gcc and g++RTags passes the results down to ccache, which works as expectedRTags works with autotools projectsThe rdm server automatically runs on demand in the background when neededProper integration in Emacs, which in my case means evil keybindingsI made a short asciinema recording demonstrating what it looks like. (You'll have to ignore the weird terminal colors, I don't have them set up properly because I normally use a graphical Emacs client.)Why RTags?I'm a really strong believer that at a minimum, everyone should have jump-to-definition working in their text editor. I don't care what text editor you're using, but if you can't quickly navigate your source code this way, you're going to waste a lot of time trying to navigate the code you're working on. Ideally this also means that you also have a working "find references" command, meaning that you can quickly and accurately find other parts of the code that call a given method (or use a variable).Most autotools projects will automatically have a TAGS make target, which builds an etags (or ctags) database of the source code. This works OK, and I've used this for years without too many issues. Recently though I've been getting involved with Bitcoin Core development. Bitcoin is a fairly large C++ code base, and etags does not scale well to large code bases. It's not very accurate, often bringing up a large list of possible definitions. But that actually doesn't bother me too much. What really drives me crazy is how slow etags is in large projects. If something is going to be slow, it should at least work correctly. Etags satisfies neither of those requirements.I've previously seen some videos of people with RTags integration in Emacs, and it's really slick. And it's instantaneous, which cannot be said of etags or ctags. RTags doesn't have to guess about context, because it hooks into the compilation phase of your project. It has real knowledge of things like preprocessor macro definitions, and which methods are used in complex contexts. This is what people with traditional IDEs (CLion, Visual Studio, etc.) are used to. It's something I find makes me a lot more productive.What You Need To DoFirst you'll need to actually install RTags. I use Fedora, and a recent version of RTags is already packaged for Fedora. However, I have not been able to get the Fedora version working (at least not with the GCC wrapper script). If your distro has RTags packaged you might as well try it out, but I had to build from source to get a working version.Building RTagsTo build RTags, I needed to install clang-devel and llvm-devel. This is specific to Fedora, but you need:# Install clang-devel and llvm-devel. sudo dnf install {clang,llvm}-devel Afterwards you should be able to build and install RTags:# Clone the git repo. git clone https://github.com/Andersbakken/rtags cd rtags # Get the submodules git submodule init git submodule update # I want to install to ~/.local, meaning the binaries go in ~/.local/bin. ./configure --prefix $HOME/.local make make install I always install packages using the prefix ~/.local, which means the binaries end up in ~/.local/bin. I already have my shell $PATH set up to search this location. Modify the above commands as necessary (including updating your $PATH).Afterwards you should have rc in your path:$ which rc /home/evan/.local/bin/rc Configuring The GCC WrapperBy default RTags expects to work with CMake projects that use Clang, which isn't much use to me. Thankfully, the RTags developers have a wrapper script to provide compatibility with GCC and other build systems, including autotools projects. The previous make install command should have put gcc-tags-wrapper.sh in your path. To actually use this, you need to set up symlinks for the various names that GCC can be invoked with.The ~/.local/bin prefix I used earlier is already at the front of my $PATH, so I just need to put symlinks there. In my case that looks like this:cd ~/.local/bin for c in cc c++ gcc g++; do ln -s ./gcc-rtags-wrapper.sh "$c" done Check That Ccache WorksI also have ccache enabled, because development without it is very painful. The RTags docs don't say this explicitly, but I believe you want a search path for a command like g++ to run in order:gcc-wrapper.shccache/usr/bin/g++This ordering ensures that rc will see the file even if ccache already has the compilation result cached. I'm not 100% sure that this is right though, it might make more sense to invoke ccache first and clear your existing cache using ccache -c.If you just installed symlinks above, first run hash -r to make sure your shell clears its cache of where it thinks g++ is. Then you can verify that things are set up correctly like this:$ which -a g++ /home/evan/.local/bin/g++ /usr/lib64/ccache/g++ /usr/bin/g++ This shows the search path from higher priority to lower priority. If this doesn't look right, you need to rearrange things in your $PATH.Setting Up An RDM Socket ServerThe RTags database server is called rdm, and it needs to be running when you compile code. The rc command submits new indexing requests to rdm over an AF_UNIX socket. You can run this however you want, but if you're on Linux I recommend using a Systemd user socket service. Here's how this configuration works:Systemd binds to an AF_UNIX socket in your user run directory, which will be a location like /run/user/1000/rdm.socketWhen the rc command tries to talk to rdm, Systemd transparently starts up an instance that inherits the socket and serves the requestThe rdm service is configured to terminate itself after 5 minutes of inactivityIf the rdm.socket file is used after rdm terminates itself, Systemd transparently starts it up again in the same manner as beforeYou aren't required to run rdm this way, but I like it. The instructions for setting this up are in the rtags README, I won't repeat them here.Indexing Your First ProjectYou should just have to do a make clean and then a make in your project. That's really it. If things are working correctly, once you start compiling code you'll start seeing ~/.cache/rtags start to grow in size.One thing that is really cool about how rc works is that it submits work to rdm asynchronously. This means that your compilation doesn't block while rdm indexes your code. This means that you might have to wait a minute or so after indexing your first project before you get complete coverage, even if the compilation phase already completed.Setting Up Emacs/SpacemacsRTags provides an rtags Emacs package which provides basic RTags integration. If this is working, at a minimum you should have a command called rtags-find-symbol-at-point which jumps to the definition of the symbol at the current point. If you have a traditional Emacs setup, you can read the RTags docs for more information about the rtags package.I am personally a big fan of Spacemacs, which is an Emacs distribution focused around evil mode (which lets me use vi keybindings). Spacemacs has full RTags integration, but not in a stable release. To use the new RTags layer, you have a few options:You can switch to the Spacemacs develop branch, which is the bleeding edge branchYou can copy the c-c++ layer from develop to a stable Spacemacs releaseI like to live dangerously, so I just switched to develop. It looks like they recently changed how their GitHub remotes are configured to make this more difficult, presumably to make it difficult to do what I'm about to show you to do.On my laptop (which has an older git clone) I was able to just do:cd ~/.emacs.d git fetch git checkout -t origin/develop On my desktop (which has a newer git clone) the origin remote is configured to just show the master branch by default. There I had to do the following:cd ~/.emacs.d git fetch --all git checkout -t checkversion/develop Once you do the above (or copy the develop layer locally) you can enable RTags integration by setting c-c++-enable-rtags-support to t in your Spacemacs layers. The example in the docs is like this: (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '((c-c++ :variables c-c++-enable-rtags-support t))) I have a bunch of other Spacemacs things set up for my c-c++ layer; you may or may not be interested in some of these, the actual value I have in my config looks like this: (c-c++ :variables c-c++-default-mode-for-headers 'c++-mode c-c++-enable-clang-support t c-c++-enable-google-newline t c-c++-enable-google-style t c-c++-enable-rtags-support t) Once this is all configured you should be able to use SPC m g . to invoke rtags-find-symbol-at-point. You can also use SPC m g , to invoke rtags-find-references-at-point, which does the inverse (shows you what code calls where you are now).

Antidote broadcast priority
Original Publication Date: 2004-Sep-01
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2004-Sep-01
Publishing Venue
There are many methods of allowing clients to download fixes (operating system, application, etc.) form a fix server. One of the most common is for the fix server to broadcast out to all clients that a fix is necessary. The clients upon receipt of this broadcast will attach to the fix server and apply the fix, then go back to normal operation. The problem that this disclosure fixes is what happens when all clients try to download the fix from the fix server at the same time. This will be a significant performance problem. It would be preferable if their was a prioritization scheme where more important clients (mission critical, etc.) would have a higher priority then other clients.
Antidote broadcast priority
Each client has an agent that controls the fix downloading action. At client deployment the client agent is set to a certain priority level. It can be any number of levels depending on IT policy. It is also possible to change the priority level remotely as client value can change over time.
The fix server sends a packet including a fix is required. The client agent queries software and memory in the client computer to see if the client computer has already installed the sent anti-virus fix.. The client agent now signals the fix server it is ready to start downloading the fix from the fix server and applying the patch to the client . As part of this request the client sends it's priority level.
The fix server captures and stores all of the client request. It sets up multiple queues (one for each priority). Queue entry is first in, first out. This is not very time consuming or network bandwidth consuming as the actual push of the fix is the biggest network bandwidth item.
Depending on policy we define a the following process to decide which clients get the fix in what order.
1) The fix server always starts with the highest priority queue. First in first out. Once all are done, move to next priority. We also add a process where policy driven, an IT administrator can ensure lower priority clients get the fix. We can do this in three ways:
Number driven. Policy set can be defined to go to lower queue after N higher
queue clients are service...

RMI Bodyshops welcomes announcement on apprenticeship funding
On 25 October, the government set out how apprenticeships will be funded as part of the drive to help millions get the skills they need for a successful career. The new reforms will guarantee support from employers and government, and ultimately boost our economic productivity.
"The announcement from the Department for Education on apprenticeship funding is positive news for the smaller bodyshops (less than 50 employees) in the sector", comments Jason Moseley, Director of RMI Bodyshops (NAB & VBRA), the UK's trade association for vehicle repairers.
Measures confirmed highlight that 100 per sent of training costs will be paid by government for employers with fewer than 50 employees who take on apprentices aged 16 to 18 years old. As well as this, there will be a 100 per cent contribution from government to the cost of training for small employers that will not pay the levy and who take on apprentices who are 16 to 18 years old, 19- to 24-year-old care leavers or 19- to 24-year-olds with an education and health care plan
Moseley continues, "Apprenticeships are critical for our industry. Allowing employers a longer period of time to spend their funds and recognising the cost of investing in higher quality STEM apprenticeships are two important features in creating a funding programme that will reward employers investing in high-quality training for the long-term.
"We now look forward to seeing the financial benefits this will bring to small businesses once the levy is introduced in 2017."

Subscribe To Would Denis Villeneuve Direct James Bond 26? Here's What The Director Says Updates
While we know Daniel Craig will be back for the next James Bond movie, the project is still looking for a director. One major name has removed himself from the running, but would Denis Villeneuve ever direct a Bond movie? The director of Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, has said that his current project, Dune would make directing the 25th James Bond movie impossible, however, he's open to directing a Bond movie after that if the schedule allows. According to Villeneuve...
When Denis Villeneuve says he's spoiled, he's not kidding. Following high profile success on Sicario, the director went on the well-regarded Arrival. Since then he's become one of the most in-demand filmmakers around, being handed the reins to not only the Blade Runner franchise, but also the long in development hell remake of Dune. It's not shocking that the people behind James Bond would be interested in him as well. It's also not shocking that he's too busy to do it.
However, when asked by ScreenCrush if he would be willing to make the next James Bond movie after the one that's currently planned, Denis Villeneuve says he'd absolutely be interested. We're guessing Ion Productions and Barbara Broccoli would still love to have him. The only things that would likely stand in the way of that would be seeing Villeneuve get committed to some other project, or perhaps seeing whoever does get the Bond 25 job knock it out of the park, and then get brought back for the next film.
Of course, the one problem with Denis Villeneuve's desire to work with Daniel Craig on a James Bond movie is that if he doesn't direct Bond 25, there's a good chance he'll never have the opportunity. Craig is only confirmed to return for this one Bond movie, and every indication currently is that this will be Craig's last go-round with the character. If Villeneuve does direct Bond 26 it may very well be with a brand new Bond.
Back when Denis Villeneuve's name was first attached to Bond 25 there were two other directors on the same short list, Yann Demange and David Mackenzie. With Villeneuve out of the running, though seemingly absolutely considered, it would lend credence to the idea that one of these two might be who the production will now look to for its new director.
Bond 25 has some time to find a director, while the movie already has a set release date, it's not until November of 2019, which means the movie likely won't need to start filming until sometime late this year.

Toke Makinwa`s Fiance, Maje Ayida In Car Accident In Lekki, Lagos
Makinwa is happy to have survived a terrible car accident that
happened in Lagos yesterday.
According to Maje, The Chief Executive Officer of Eden Lifestyle, he
was with his dad in the above car en-route Oriental Hotel in Lekki to
have lunch when all of a sudden, a police escort car crashed into them
while trying to catch up with a convoy.
The driver of the escort crossed a green light passing the opposite traffic.
Maje and his dad escaped the accident unhurt.
See his tweets below
My father and I walked from this crash on our way to Oriental for
lunch. Thank you Lord
Police escort crashed into me today after jumping lights. God spared my life
The Lord is truly my shepherd RT @tokstarr: So thankful that
@edenlifenig is safe. Escort cars should be ban for good.
To come on the radio is a lack of humility I cannot comprehend. I know
for a fact he was trying to catch up with the convoy he was in.
Unreal, whiel thankful for my life, I am offended to my core by the
attitude of the escort driver. U ALWAYS slow down at a junction
@kemiadetiba honestly, they feel above the law, reckless and
inconsiderate. I'm just getting started with them`.
Maje Ayida is very lucky to be alive.

ELAH Productions – CALL FOR CHOREOGRAPHERS: Raise the Bar
Submission Deadline: July 1, 2014
Go beyond your comfort zone. Change the status quo for what is presented on the stage.
We are looking for concepts that push the envelope, get the audience to think and most importantly feel you as an artist. The music, your performers, the characters, costumes, and choreography all play important roles; they should be well thought out. Have us wanting more once your piece has left the stage.
Q1 How long the video should be? Does the performance have length limit (like most of showcase limits a performance within 5, 6, or 10 minutes depending on number of performances, purpose of events)
A1. Performance length should be no longer than 7 minutes
Q2 What is the genre of dance? Any genre or specifically hip hop/urban style or fusion?
A2. Genre varies, that is totally at the choreographers discretion. They should understand I am looking for out of the box concepts; music choices, fusing styles, ideas that the audience wont expect to see. I'm trying to challenge us to step outside our comfort zones when creating; not the usual contemporary, ballet, Hip- Hop, etc. choreo. Someone can bring ballroom if they'd like!
Q3 Is this for solo performance or group performance? or both?
A3. At choreographers discretion. Do keep in mind the space may be A small black box stage or small theatre.
Q4 if you already have idea, is the venue a big theater or a middle size black box theater or a club with small stage?
A4. Small Black Box theatre or small performance theatre
Q5 Does video have to be taken newly only for this submission? or could they submit videos of their past performances?
A6. No, it can be past performances, but know whatever work you submit should be the work performed the night of the event.
Raise the Bar is a celebration of all the talent that makes up the DMV dance performance scene and it's surrounding areas. Dancers and dance enthusiast will gather under one roof for the love and passion of dance, the freedom of creativity and expression, and to support the progression of the art. Its mission is to highlight the choreographers' vision while promoting positivity, growth, and unconventional approaches. Raise the Bar will offer a space for choreographers, dancers, studio directors, and other members of the industry to network and support each other, hopefully, making connections that will assist those involved in building relationships beyond the event, foster collaboration on future projects, and bring together artists that may never have had the opportunity to work with or experience one another. For detailed information about submitting your videos, please email:
All genres are welcome.

This Just In: Women, Good at Fixing Things and Solving Problems
My vision is for there to be as many women as there are men in leadership roles in the United States – for our future children to never question the fact that little girls have extraordinary potential, and should not be encouraged to limit themselves, or later grapple with career choices contingent upon motherhood before ever bearing a child. I need this...but it's not really about me. Our corporations need this. Our government needs this. Our country needs this. So this is my plea: There is strength in numbers, so the more women that run for office the more we can embrace and encourage gender parity. Men and women alike successful in their careers, must make an assertive effort to encourage our young women to pursue paths of authority. We must continue to change perceptions, hold forums and make our voices heard.
Women #FTW
If there is anything we've learned over the past couple of months, and I'm certain we will see throughout the day today, it's that a large group of motivated women with a common goal, can make a massive impact on the world. The Women's March reached record-breaking numbers, but I can't say I was surprised. Women have been fostering community, collaborating and communicating in effective ways for a very long time.
Look at Iceland for example. In October 2008, Iceland's three main banks collapsed, leaving debts over 10 times the country's GDP. The value of the currency plummeted, unemployment was at an all-time high and the stock market was abysmal. To say Iceland was bankrupt would have been an understatement. This downfall was caused by a reckless, bullish testosterone driven business culture. Sound familiar? Men were calling all of the shots.
Then the women stepped in to clean up the mess.
Unlike the US, Iceland decided not to bail the banks out, let them fail and hold those responsible for the failure accountable. The country's first female Prime Minister, Johanna Sigurdardottir, was elected, and led the charge in fundamentally changing Iceland's banking industry. Amongst other things, banks were renamed and nationalized and replaced with female CEOs, who put measures in place to ensure the protection of customers' interests. As a result of the transformation, unemployment fell, Iceland became one of Europe's top growth performers and started paying back its enormous loans early.
Not Close and No Cigar
As many of us know (and as Iceland confirmed), amazing things happen when more women step into leadership positions. However, women are still grossly underrepresented across leadership roles in the US. In the House of Representatives, women hold just 83 out of 435 seats. And in the Senate, women hold 21 out of the 100 seats. Then when we look at Fortune 500 companies, women now hold a measly four percent of CEO positions. I think I speak for a lot of folks when I say: I CALL BULL! So here are three ways to propel more female leaders into the spotlight.
A Call to Action
1. Run for Local Office
Ever thought about running for office? Do you have a vision for schools, non-profits or really any cause? Not sure where to start? Runforoffice.org is a database of nearly every possible positon and its respective eligibility requirements.
2. Volunteer to be a Mentor
This one is for both men and women! There are many existing local and national organization and programs out there that are plugged into young women who are currently in the developmental stages of seeking their paths in this world. A great place to look is Idealist.org.
3. Change the Conversation
Through our testimonials, our conversations and debates we can insight change and if you want to get organized about it join or start a Lean In Circle.
I've never been known for being a patient person, not big on the "wait and see approach." I'm not willing to wait another 100 years or so to get to where we should be or could be. So to all the strong, driven and fed up women out there that know it is high time for parity: whether it's launching your own political campaign, becoming a mentor or simply speaking up when it's uncomfortable to do so… Let's clean up the mess.

Last Thursday Michael Burlake brought me to the LASFS meeting. Ken Pick had asked me to help him get some notable s-f authors who would be willing to write a cover blurb for Infinite Space, Infinite God, the anthology in which he has a story. I asked Jerry Pournelle, who agreed to the extent of asking to see an advance copy of the book so he could tell whether he could honestly endorse it or not. An excellent cake was provided, for the occasion of Joe Zeff's sister's birthday, if I understood correctly. The program was a video presentation by Bridget Landry on her day-job assignment at JPL, the Cassiini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan. I was seated on (or sunken into) the comfortable couch at the back of the room so I could not see the presentation, but Landry's commentary was very fascinating. I am delighted that the LASFS has resumed holding the programs as part of the meetings, rather than after the meetings are adjourned.

I recently referred to needing to do research in old Apa L dist'ns from 1987 and 1992. This was regarding a request to submit "reminiscences of Ralph Bakshi" for a book about him to be published next year. "Jon Gibson (of I Am 8-Bit fame) and Chris McDonnell (of Meathaus fame) have begun working on a bio/art coffeetable book about animation legend Ralph Bakshi. The book is slated for July 2008 release by Rizzoli NYC. Most importantly, Ralph Bakshi himself, currently 68 years old, is 100% on board with the project. Bakshi is allowing full access to his archives and granting these guys the opportunity to write an unbiased tome about his life and career. [...] We'd absolutely LOVE to hear from all those that have worked with Bakshi, have some Bakshi-relevant artwork to share, or just have some tales (because, as we've learned over the last year of getting this book going, pretty much everyone knows a least one Bakshi yarn, whether they've met him or not). Seriously, no matter how insignificant someone may think the story is-or if it's only one drawing-we want it!"
Here is what I sent in for the 1992 incident, after refreshing my memory with my comments in Apa L at the time:
"Around May 1992, Paramount held a publicity tour of the animation studio it had set up in Hollywood to produce Ralph's Cool World, which was just finishing up for the movie's release in July. There were about ten people in the tour; I was there covering it for Amazing Heroes magazine (which announced its cancellation a week after the tour; my preview of Cool World appeared in its final issue, #203/July 1992).
A Paramount flack took us among all the animators busy at their light tables, cameras, etc. The tour ended with Ralph coming out and telling us how enthusiastic he was about Cool World. It was a different kind of animated feature meant for adults rather than kids, it gave its writers the chance to explore more mature fantasy themes, and so on. He finished by asking if we had any questions. One man promptly asked what the estimated value of all the cels made for the movie was. Ralph said something about nobody trying to figure that out, and tried to get the subject back to Cool World's unique story and hoped-for box office appeal. But this man kept asking such questions as how many complete cel setups had been generated as distinct from stand-alone cels, and whether it was planned to sell the cels through a single art gallery or wholesale to whatever galleries wanted to buy them. Although he did not say so flat-out, his attitude practically accused Paramount & Ralph of making Cool World less for artistic reasons than to produce thousands of cels just for sale to the collectibles market. Ralph was visibly having a harder and harder time keeping his temper during this, and he abruptly said that if NOBODY ELSE had any questions, the tour was at an end."
End of anecdote. What I did not say, but what all the book's readers are sure to think of on their own, is that this anonymous man turned out to be pretty much right. Cool World was a horrible film which disappeared from theaters in less than a month, and its box-office was probably less than what could have been made by selling its production cels through art galleries - a practice that no longer exists since all animated films today, 2D or CGI, are produced within computers.

Anthro #11, May-June 2007, should be online by today. Read it for my latest furry book reviews, plus reprints of my reviews in Yarf! of anthropomorphic s-f & fantasy of the mid-1990s. This issue should also begin the arrangement of all my reviews of anthropomorphic books in Yarf!, Anthro, and other magazines from the early 1990s to the present in what is intended to be an extensive annotated anthropomorphic bibliography of hundreds of books.

-- Comments on Last Week's Distribution:
De Jueves #1528 - (Moffatt) Nobody at the hospital checks me for pressure sores immediately after my return from LASFS meetings, and sometimes they don't examine me until Saturday. By then, if my sores are getting worse instead of better, nobody has any way to tell whether there is one specific cause or not. Sitting in my wheelchair for four hours waiting for the hospital's barber to cut my hair surely cannot help.
Oh, All Right!!! - (Lembke) Was there ever an Apa E? You mean Apa F, for Fanoclasts. It ceased after 69 issues, presumably in 1964 or '65. ## Regarding impeaching squirrels, there was a bit of excitement here a couple of weeks ago. I have reported watching a squirrel run across the rooftop just outside my window. A couple of weeks ago, the squirrel dashed across the roof barely ahead of a hawk swooping after it. The squirrel has appeared since, so the hawk missed.
Apa-L Follies - (Cantor) I joined the LASFS in 1960, so to me the club's early days are pretty much everything before that date. It is depressing to realize that I have been in the club for well over half its existence, and that my first dozen-plus years are considered part of the club's early days by newer members. If the club ever tried to set an official definition of what its "early days" were, what time-span would be decided upon? 1934 through the transition of the LASFL into the independent LASFS in 1940? 1934 through Pacificon I in 1946? 1934 through the almost-demise of the club around 1957 before Bĵo then-Wells led its revival? 1934 until Forry Ackerman stopped attending regularly around 1962 or '63?
Vanamonde #728 - (Hertz) Maybe Infinite Space, Infinite God uses "infinite" in the same way the Catholic Church uses "catholic". I have not read the anthology yet, just Ken Pick's individual story which is more-or-less a standard furry story with a human Catholic priest in the background "gathering information" to help the Vatican make an official decision as to whether bioengineered intelligent animals have souls or not .
Godzilla Verses # 137 -- (DeChancie) I was also taught the VIBGYOR abbreviation for the seven colors of the spectrum. But I have noticed that recent descriptions of the spectrum tend to mention six colors only. Indigo seems to no longer be considered a main color. ## Dogs (and other animals) having Smellavision is the biggest unaddressed flaw with the Kevin & Kell premise, in my opinion. Animals constantly disguise themselves visually as other species, and their scents never give them away. In the current Alpha Luna, the Werewolf Girl Internet comic strip by Leonardo Vidal F. (posted weekly from Chile), a new werewolf comments, "Everything is so SMELLY." I commented previously about how scent is a major factor (along with graphic interspecies homosexual eroticism) in the furry civilization stories of Kyell Gold, and a key clue in the murder mystery in Pendant of Fortune, an Ursa Major finalist for 2006 Best Novel. ## Is there any chance that you could get us a screening of Dreams With Sharp Teeth at the LASFS, maybe along with DVDs for sale? If it is not out by the Loscon in November, could it be shown there?
Toony Loons #39 - (Zeff) A detail that I noted during my visit with Bĵo Trimble to her hummingbird-enslaved friend was that the hummingbird darted right between us as we talked and hovered right in her face. The bird was not confused for a second between the three of us; it knew who was responsible for keeping its feeder filled. ## I remember that my mother insisted on gold-headed sewing needles for the best quality; but I never knew that it was an industry-wide standard rather than one high-quality brand's trademark. ## Sometimes you may want to deliberately look immature, as when C. M. Kornbluth satirized Mickey Mouse as Poopy Panda.
I Whisked Nergal's Negus - (Gold) I assume that the hospital has me sign the statement each week so if I do get new pressure sores, it can claim that they are my fault for going out against the hospital's recommendation that I stay in. The fact that I often sit in my wheelchair for three or four hours at a time in the hospital is, of course, completely irrelevant. When my sister Sherrill tried to help me stand about a week ago, she was immediately descended upon and told that she could not do that because only licensed therapists and their authorized assistants are allowed to do so; which explains why the hospital's ordinary nurses are not allowed to help me stand. ## Ken Pick seems to consider his sale of "Mask of the Ferret" to Twilight Times Books for Infinite Space, Infinite God as his first professional sale, at least in terms of finally breaking into the professional literary community after years of writing stories for free fanzine publication, and hopefully making more sales to "real publishers". Maybe he forgot about you paying him for his art for your role-playing game in 1980 since it did not lead to any more professional art sales. Or maybe he considered it as a fannish project despite getting paid for it. ## I believe that Sherry gave my 2005 desktop computer to George Van Wagner as payment for helping us, after he transferred all its files onto my new MacBook Pro laptop. George is supposed to come and back up my new files soon, and show Sherry how to transfer them to my other desktop computer at her apartment. ## I get semiannual royalties, not biannual royalties. ## Regarding Chinese villains and cheap detective stories, I recently tried to read a new collection of stories featuring Erle Stanley Gardner's pre-Perry Mason detective, Sidney Zoom. (The Casebook of Sidney Zoom, 2006.) I could only stand two of the early 1930s stories from Detective Fiction Weekly with titles like "My Name is Zoom!", "Borrowed Bullets", and "Cheating the Chair". It was my own fault, because I had already experienced Gardner's pulp writing in Sam Moskowitz's collection of his "lost" science-fiction stories, full of mad scientists with beautiful daughters who need to be rescued from his dangerous experiments (or from ooga-booga cannibals) by daring young newspaper reporters. Some of Gardner's other pre-Mason crimefighters were Key-Clew Clark, Go Get 'Em Garver, Ed Migraine the Headache Detective, Fish Mouth McGinnis, and Speed Dash the Human Fly. Anyhow, some of Gardner's stories have titles like "Fingers of Fong", "A Chinaman's Chance", "The Joss of Tai Wong" and "Teeth of the Dragon", which make me suspect stereotypical Chinese villains - not that I intend to read them to find out.

A burglar looked up from reading the society news in the daily paper. "Tonight we'll hit the Barkley house," he announced to his partner. "The Barkleys will be at Town Hall to receive a citizenship award. They'll probably be gone a couple hours."
Two small boys at our church's Easter breakfast were more interested in the toys they'd brought along than in the food their parents had set hopefully before them. Not recognizing one of the well-worn figurines beside their plates, I asked what it was.
To Christians who are challenged by nonbelievers to prove He is Who He says He is, my recommendation is to smile, shake their hands if they will permit you to, and just assure them, "I love you." Then pray for them. Until their own sins and foibles bring them face to face with Christ and with His offer of atonement, they aren't going to "get it." They haven't an inkling how bad they truly are, how badly they need the Saviour. If you attempt to explain to them that they are inherently bad and need a Saviour, you are bound to offend them. It's been said you can never understand how dearly, divinely loved you are until you understand how horribly bad you are . . . and vice-versa. You're bad. You're really bad. You've done lots of things you wouldn't like for the general public or your closest intimates to know about. He'll love you anyway and forgive you forever -- but only if you ask Him.
Jian Ghomeshi spent the winter trying to determine the "50 essential Canadian popular songs" of all time for CBC Radio. The recently produced "50 Tracks," derived from tens of thousands of audience letters, calls and debate, is especially inspiring to me, a folkie from way back, because . . .
It might be considered a draw, since neither side creditably could claim outright victory and the navy which retreated suffered far fewer losses than the one which "held the sea."
You may find that label more than a little bizarre, if you're familiar with the life and the century-old works of the popular author. While he's best known in the United States for The Call of the Wild and White Fang, London acquired a particular following in Marxist countries for his sociological, anti-industrial critiques.
Folksinger/actor Harry Belafonte, winner of an Emmy, Grammy and National Medal of Arts (and made famous with his 1956 "Banana Boat Song" recording), was born in: a) Harlem, b) Jamaica, c) Cuba, d) Atlanta.
British mariner Sir Francis Beaufort in the 19th Century lent his name to the Beaufort Sea, which is a nook of the: a) Indian Ocean, b) Atlantic Ocean, c) Arctic Ocean, d) Mediterranean Sea.
Veterinarian: "What seems to be wrong with your horse?"
Don't do it -- at least, not very often. That recommendation is included in various trains of dietary thought worldwide. The late Strom Thurmond, who served in the U.S. Senate until he was 100, attributed his longevity to basic eating routines: large breakfasts and very little food consumption after midday. Agricultural families traditionally take their largest meal at lunch -- the meal we called "dinner" when I was growing up on a hay farm. (What many of you call "dinner" was what we called "supper.") In many countries renowned for their cuisine, such as Italy, folks may consume substantial portions of high-calorie, high-cholesterol foods, but usually not at night.
Mariners have feared it for at least five centuries. The dreary, cold island cluster at the southern tip of South America is a stormy region of treacherous currents at the meeting of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Explorers, traders, whalers, sealers and naval crews all have dreaded "rounding the horn." In prolonged gales, it took some vessels days, even weeks to make the passage. Hundreds of ships went down struggling against the elements.
Are you aware that technically, the United States has had not 43 presidents but 45? If you've never heard of Thomas W. Ferry and David Rice Atchison, it's little wonder; neither man did much while serving as the nation's chief executive. But each was, literally, "president for a day."
Did you know . . .
Probably I should explain why I intend to kill my cousin. Roger four days ago had a brain tumor removed and now is in therapy to restore some of his motor functions. When I visited him in the hospital, his first words were, "Hey, Danny." Only relatives and school chums of old -- fossils -- still call me Danny. (Name's Dan.) Roger's wife and several unknown friends were in the room, ears keenly attuned. The second thing he said was, "Do you remember the wedding?"
Daniel Decatur Emmett, organizer of America's first minstrel show and composer of "Dixie," was born in: a) Louisiana, b) Massachusetts, c) Georgia, d) Ohio.
Franklin Pierce was president of the United States during the: a) 1790s, b) 1820s, c) 1850s, d) 1880s.
The groom at a wedding banquet rose to toast his young wife. He prefaced the tribute: "Honey, I need to make a confession. Before we met, I spent many happy hours in the arms of another woman . . ." -- the bride paled, her father's face flashed fire and everyone drew in a collective gasp -- "my mother." The toast was completed amid peals of laughter and poignant appreciation for the young man's wit and maternal respect.
More than a century before Bobby Fischer caused a sensation by winning the world chess championship from the Russians (1972-75), another American claimed the honor . . . sort of. Paul Morphy, a young lawyer from New Orleans, won the first American Chess Congress in 1857. He then went abroad to conquer the best players in Europe: Anderssen of Prussia, Lowenthal of Hungary, Harrwitz of Germany. But the man he dearly wished to encounter, British champion Howard Staunton, kept him waiting . . . and waiting . . . and waiting. At length, Morphy gave up and returned home.
It's called the Dead Sea, but the great lake on the River Jordan, at the border between Israel and Jordan, isn't quite dead. It's true fish can't survive in it, but microbes can. And it's alive with history and scientific mystique.
Something about Gregorian chants touches my soul like no other music. About 30 years ago, I made one of the smartest purchases of my life when I bought a five-LP set of chants. I don't listen to them frequently -- perhaps once a month. I find them especially meaningful at the very beginning of the day, especially if it's still dark and rainy or cold. But they're always meaningful, no matter the time or season.
Most of us folk musicians think of Irish traditions at mention of the word "jig." A jig is a lively tune in 6/8 time (and a corresponding dance) with centuries of legacy throughout the British Isles.
Administrators of legal justice have devised lots of ways to execute capital criminals. Common in modern times are lethal injection, electrocution, gas -- and still, in some countries, hanging. In the military, firing squads and gallows have been favored during recent centuries.
The term "troubadour" is from the French Provençal word trobar, which means: a) to dance, b) to sing, c) to find, d) to sleep.
In 1793, the first manned balloon flight in North America ascended from: a) Boston, b) Charleston, c) New York, d) Philadelphia.
A teacher summoned a student's parents to a private conference. "Let me guess," the father ventured acerbically as he sat down. "You've caught her cheating."
Probably my favorite folk instrument is the cittern. It has 10 strings (in 5 paired courses) and best can be described as "shaped like a mandolin, but the size of a guitar."
Grumbling miners called it Dry Diggins. One of the first mining camps established in California's western Sierra Nevada hills, it began in 1848 soon after the discovery of gold near the American River. By the end of the following year it had acquired an even more appropriate name: Hangtown.
It's a marvel how time alters history. Take Nero, generally considered by historians until the late 20th Century to have been "Rome's worst emperor." A typical assessment from The Illustrated World History, edited by Hammerton and Barnes (1935): "Nero was one of the few emperors who seem to have completely deserved their evil reputation."
In developing Mysterious Expeditions (my other blog -- http://mysteriousexpeditions.blogspot.com) and conducting various researches into crime and police history, I find Francois-Eugené Vidocq to be one of the most intriguing real-life characters in the realm of detection. Vidocq created the Sureté, the premier Parisian detective bureau, and served as its chief beginning in 1810.
North Carolinians are called "tarheels." Georgians are called "crackers." We South Carolinians are called "sandlappers" and we aren't sure why.
The difference between the guitarrone and the standard guitar is: a) tonal range, b) size, c) style of play, d) all of these.
Babylon was a powerful ancient port city on the River: a) Tigris, b) Euphrates, c) Dan, d) Danube.
Question posed by a fourth-grader: "If a vegetarian is someone who eats only vegetables, is a humanitarian someone who eats only people?"
"Give me your cell phone number, and I'll call to learn where you are at 2:30."
I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of His glories and grace. I will boast of all His kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. Let us praise the Lord together, and exalt His name. -- Psalm 34:1-3 (TLB)

I'm Stefania and I'm currently in my second year of college. I'm looking forward to pursue a career in the business field. I'm focusing on Marketing for now, but I'd also like to minor in something else that I'm not quite sure of yet. I took Art and Women because I needed to fulfill one of my graduation requirements, but it also seemed like an interesting class. I'm not much of an art person; I can't name many famous artists, painters, or sculptors, but I have come to realize that all the ones I can think of are men. Women have always been undermined in society just because they're "women", and learning about the type of progress they've made, even if it's not what is hoped for, would be interesting. I am a feminist in terms of wanting women to be equal to men, because, in reality, there's no difference between us other than some body parts. Art history has a lot to do with my background. I'm half Italian, and as we all know, Italy, especially Rome, is full of beautiful art and rich history. I'd like to go back one day and visit all the wonderful places, including the museums that show ancient art.

When it comes to running a successful jewellers, it's not just about buying cheap and selling for a hugely inflated profit. If you wanted to do this you'd open a high-fashion bead shop, and everyone in the trade knows that silver has pretty much no value any more and you're just paying for the name.
If you don't mind dealing with hundreds of complaints every week maybe you should think about a franchise, or opening a so-called high street "jewellers" with their "fake" discounts and closing down sales. You don't have to travel far on the internet to find out what people have said about their purchases from the high street. Just do a quick Google search.
Independent jewellers are the only place you should be buying your jewellery because they have THE knowledge required to buy quality jewellery and diamonds at the best prices and don't have the overheads of a chain store or franchise, and so pass these pieces on at a fraction of the price without having to offer a discount. Because of the knowledge the independent jewellers possess they can control every item they buy and turn away the flawed items the high street jeweller would buy in bulk.
Without blowing our own trumpet, our experts at Bond Jewellers have more knowledge than most. It's not just about reading on the internet about the current price of gold or the latest fashion trends, or going to mediocre fairs in and around the UK. Knowledge is about who you know, where the knowledge comes from, and by visiting the right places like the Bangkok Gem and Jewellery Fair in Thailand (which our experts visit twice a year). We regularly speak to our friends in Belgium who cut our diamonds from the rough, and we have contacts throughout the modern world ready to share their knowledge straight from the frontline.
Visiting fairs like the one in Bangkok give us insights in to not only the latest cuts of diamonds but the latest equipment used to do this. We speak to the dealers and cutters at the forefront of design and find out what we need to be doing to stay professional and ahead of the competition.

2019 copyright © Audwin Trapman
Email me a description of what you are experiencing- and an outside photo of the home- and I can get started!
If you have Ghosts
then I can help you.
2019: 18 Years Experience
My name is Audwin Trapman, and I have a proven track record in removing ghosts in your house through the power of Love Energy. I also work directly with Angels who are the ones who engage with the ghosts to remove them.
If you believe you have ghosts, or have seen or heard the signs, I can help you.
Ghosts can and do learn to manipulate the environment that they are in. They usually do this to get your attention, the same as calling for help. As they learn to move things, knock, make footstep sounds, or any other thing that they do, they find that it helps them to feed off of your energy to recharge their energy levels. This can leave you feeling unexplainably drained. Pushing your buttons, sending you into extreme emotions, like anger or fear, can give them a substantial boost in energy.
The need to clear ghosts has been a long standing problem throughout history. They are so common that if you move a few times at some point in your life you will be living in a house with a ghost in it.
Ghosts are spirits or deceased people who have lost their way, and need help to reconnect with the Light.
Ghosts are mostly harmless, and are frustrated and desperate to be free of the home or location they are stuck in, and that is why they want to get your attention so desperately. My experience is that these stuck spirits experience such joy and happiness at being released that they usually cry tears of happiness as they are freed.
On the other hand some ghosts like it in the home they are in and are reluctant to leave. We give them counseling to help them see that their true happiness comes from returning to the Light.
There are also ghosts that simply wander from house to house, staying as long as it serves their purposes, and moving on when it doesn't.
Many wandering ghosts are looking for energy sources, or to tap into the people living there for sexual thrills, or to try to satisfy their various addictions (if the people are vulnerable). These ghosts often attach to you to try to manipulate you.
Fundamentally most ghosts are afraid of returning to the Light, or refused to believe they are dead. This short circuited the normal transition process back to the Light, and caused them to be stuck as they are.
Removing ghosts is usually very straightforward and they rarely if ever return. I have been taught by the Angels to allow the Angels to do the talking with the ghosts. They are experts at counseling spirits that are stuck. The Angels and I will provide healing energies to the ghosts and rehabilitation services so that they can resume their place with their family and friends who have transitioned before them.
I do this remotely and in this way I can work with any person anywhere in the world. By working with the vibration of love and the power of the healing Angels I am able to permanently remove ghosts. The ghost is taken away by the Angels and does not return.
My success rate is such that I know without a doubt that I will be able to help you.

Microsoft WCF & WPF
Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF) is a graphical subsystem for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications by Microsoft. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0. Rather than relying on the older GDI subsystem, WPF uses DirectX. WPF attempts to provide a consistent programming model for building applications and separates the user interface from business logic. It resembles similar XML-oriented object models, such as those implemented in XUL and SVG.
WPF employs XAML, an XML-based language, to define and link various interface elements. WPF applications can also be deployed as standalone desktop programs, or hosted as an embedded object in a website. WPF aims to unify a number of common user interface elements, such as 2D/3D rendering, fixed and adaptive documents, typography, vector graphics, runtime animation, and pre-rendered media. These elements can then be linked and manipulated based on various events, user interactions, and data bindings.
WPF runtime libraries are included with all versions of Microsoft Windows since Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. Users of Windows XP SP2/SP3 and Windows Server 2003 can optionally install the necessary libraries

Exploration of R^d by the isotropic α-stable process
In this mini-course we will review some very recent work on isotropic stable processes in high dimension. The recent theory of self-similar Markov and Markov additive processes gives us new insights into their trajectories. Combining this with classical methods, we revisit some old results, as well as offering new ones.
Víctor Rivero, Centro de Investigaciones Matemáticas, Guanajuato
Excursion theory and fluctuation theory for Lévy and Markov additive processes
Fluctuation theory of Lévy and Markov additive processes aims at obtaining path properties by decomposing the paths at the instants were it reaches a new suprema, respectively a new minimum. Most of the applications of these processes are based in results from fluctuation theory. The purpose of this course is to give an introduction of fluctuation theory for these processes based on the techniques from excursion theory from the supremum, respectively from the infimum. In order to explain the key ideas, we will start by the simplest case of a real valued random walk or a discrete time Markov additive process, where many technicalities arising in the continuous time case are avoided. Then we will tackle the continuous time case and we will make some connections with the course of Pr. Kyprianou.

The ant in the labyrinth: Random walks on critical high-dimensional graphs
The ant in the labyrinth is a term coined in 1976 by Pierre-Gilles de Gennes to refer to the simple random walk on a critical percolation cluster of $\mathbb{Z}^d$.
He proposed to study this model since it is the canonical example of diffusion in critical environments.
The goal of this mini-course is to present the history of this model and to communicate some of the recent progress towards understanding this model in the high-dimensional case. In particular, we will present a very detailed result obtained for the simple random walk on critical branching random walks in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. This simplified model is strongly believed to share a common scaling limit with the critical percolation case, a behaviour that is expected to be universal in high dimension.
Presenting this topic will lead us to discuss a wide variety of subjects: random walks in random environments, critical trees, critical graphs, the super-brownian motion …

Cows on the move
Consider an epidemic that spread in a population of moving particles on Z^d. The particles may infect each other upon direct contact, but may also be infected via contaminated locations. We formulate a simple model incorporating this phenomenon and demonstrate that the presence of site contamination may have an impact on the epidemic spread. Specifically, site contamination can cause a subcritical model to become supercritical, and measures aimed at controlling site contamination thereby has the potential to suppress large outbreaks. We also discuss some open problems regarding this model. (joint work with M. Deijfen and T. Britton.)

Optimal transport and applications to Data Science
Optimal transport (OT) provides rich representations of the discrepancy between probability measures supported on geometric spaces. Recently, thanks to the development of computational techniques, OT has been used to address problems involving massive datasets, as an alternative to usual KL-divergence based approaches. In this talk I will introduce the OT problem and comment on its elementary duality properties. Then, I will present the entropy regularized problem and its (fast) solution via Sinkhorn iterations. Finally, I will overview two applications to Data Science: first, dimensionality reduction via Wasserstein Barycenters and Wasserstein PCA. Second, parameter inference in generative models defined through complex nonlinear transformation of a noise distribution.
Nikolas Tapia, Universidad de Chile
Construction of geometric rough paths
This talk is based on a joint work in progress with L. Zambotti (UPMC). First, I will give a brief introduction to the theory of rough paths focusing on the case of Hölder regularity between 1/3 and 1/2. After this, I will address the basic problem of construction of a geometric rough path over a given ɑ-Hölder path in a finite-dimensional vector space. Although this problem was already solved by Lyons and Victoir in 2007, their method relies on the axiom of choice and thus is not explicit; in exchange the result is more general. In an upcoming paper, we provide an explicit construction clarifying the connection between rough paths theory and free (nilpotent) Lie algebras. In particular, we use an explicit form of the Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula due to Loday in order to provide explicit expressions and bounds to achieve such a construction.

Yes, I do.
Not that I'm waiting myself silly for a handsome prince charming or a fairy godmother to come my way.
But I still see beauty in this world that we live in. I am a dreamer, a believer and still very much the little girl, who knows only of happy endings, deep at heart.
Everything is going to be fine in the end. If it's not fine it's not the end
Said Oscar Wilde.
A lover of yoga, sweet treats, brunch food and all things pastel in colour, I'm really just your girly girl next door. My insatiable appetite for wheat, rice, flour, eggs and bread has made it really difficult for me to lose those flabs around my waist- but I decided I love my carbs even more.
9pm is bedtime for me on a typical day and weekends are reserved for a nice solid brunch and romantic novel at a faraway cafe.
While I wish I could rise to a nice aroma of brewing coffee every morning, it usually is to the smell of pee or poo by my furkid Elsa.
Home is where I embrace myself in the loving arms of mum and dad who never stopped fussing over and pampering me since 26 years ago.
Dad cooks the best meals on earth and is sometimes a motivation for me to get up in the morning to fill my tummy with.
I am deeply in love with the concept of love and in love I know, I will find my happily ever after, someday, somewhere, somehow…

Gluen-Free Crescent Rolls
|Submitted by: Admin on 12/25/2009
This is a great recipe for fluffy crescent rolls.
Ingredients1/2 stick butter, room temperature
1/3 cup cream cheese
3/4 cup total small curd cottage cheese
1/2 tsp cider vinegar
1 cup GF Gourmet flour mix
1 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 Tbsp of sugar
DirectionsFill a 3/4 cup with 1/3 cup of cream cheese pressed into the bottom and continue to fill the rest of the cup with cottage cheese. In the bowl, combine the butter, cottage cheese/cream cheese mixture until well combined. Add dry ingredients. Mix until a ball of dough forms (will be fairly dry, you may need to add a tiny bit of water to get it to all stick together). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a floured piece of parchment paper roll the dough into a 14 inch circle. Cut into 8 triangles (pizza cutter works great). Roll each triangle from wide end to tip, turning ends to form a crescent shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment and bake for about 30 minutes.
When using to make pigs in a blanket, it is easy to roll the dough into a large rectangle. Then just cut out long narrow strips of the dough to wrap around the hot dogs. One batch of dough will cover 6-8 hot dogs.

Beating Your Internal Struggles
All of us on some level face struggles within ourselves. Some of these struggles may be transient, while others linger within us for years.
For many of us the inner turmoil comes from a space of feeling different to those around us. It is worthwhile remembering that almost all the great innovations and creativity in the world came from minds that were perceived different to the social norm.
Over the years I used to challenge myself, usually physically, as a means of coping with internal stresses. This November I will attempt to write 50,000 words as part of NaNoWriMo because I have never done that before. What about you? What do you do as a means to cope with your struggles? Share below.

Audi has been perfecting Diesel engine technology in cars since the 1970s. Their latest generation can be seen in the turbo diesel lineup (TDI). Vehicles include the A6, A7, A8, Q5, and Q7. I had the pleasure of testing the 2014 Audi Q7 TDI for a week.
Diesel Engines Vs Gasoline Engines
A majority of cars in the United States are gasoline engines. Diesel engines have primarily been reserved for commercial and construction vehicles because they have a reputation of being noisy, but offer increased fuel efficiency and the engines produce a lot of torque. You will see them in semi-trucks, busses, and tractors in the US – Over in Europe you will see them everywhere, from family sedans to sports cars.
Performance Minded Diesel Engines
Modern Diesel engines are breaking the stereotype. By adding turbo chargers, these engines are powerful both at low and high RPMs. They have also been engineered to be quieter and have less vibration than previous generations. In 2006, Audi added a diesel engine to their Le Mans race car, the Audi R10 TDI, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Behind the wheel of the Audi Q7 TDI Quattro Tiptronic
The Q7 TDI is Audi's largest and most powerful SUV. My friend Kyle describes it is a beast! With it's aggressive styling and high torque engine, I couldn't agree more. The Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights are really cool too! Under the hood, you will find a 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo diesel engine that produces 240hp and 406 pounds of torque. The high torque and 8-speed Tiptronic transmission attribute to the car's quick acceleration (quick for a large SUV).
The model I was driving included some high-tech premium accessories, such as adaptive cruise control, corner view camera system, a navigation system with Google Maps, and a Bang & Olufsen Sound System. The adaptive cruise control is one of my favorite accessories – it adjusts your speed based on the car in front of you. Audi's navigation system is the best in the world, because it uses Google's Mapping software to always give current route information. The only downside is that you have to pay for a monthly data plan to use it.
Inside the car, you will find premium leather seats, aluminum trim finishings, and an Alcantara headliner. The Alcantara headliner added an ultra-luxury feel to the car; The last car I drove with a suede like headliner was the $322,000 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante. You will also find a panoramic sunroof and four zone climate control, both which benefit the rear passengers. The car has three sets of seating, so it can easily fit a family of 7 or carry all of your best buds to a Miami Dolphins game. The power tailgate, rear power outlets, and Bang & Olufsen Sound System will make you the king of the parking lot for tailgating!
The Bang & Olufsen Sound System adds another layer of cool, because the speakers pop out of the dash. B&O also makes the best sound systems in the world. But in order to take full advantaged of the high-definition speakers, you need to be using CDs, an HD radio or satellite radio. Regular FM radio, internet radio, and MP3's used compressed audio and won't take full advantage of the sound system.
The Q7 is also a great car for off-roading and winter weather driving. The all-wheel drive system and electronic stability control will help you grip the road/trail. If you are truly off roading and need extra ground clearance you can raise the car using air suspension. Once you get back on the highway, the car will automatically lower itself to reduce wind resistance and improve fuel economy.
The Audi Q7 TDI is a versatile vehicle. From taking a family road trip, to exploring in the wilderness, the Audi Q7 TDI has you covered. It has got power, great fuel economy, loads of tech, plenty of room, and it can go anywhere.

Helping You Meet CFATS Requirements
Do you manufacture, distribute or store chemicals that could make your facilities potential targets for terrorist groups? What steps have you taken to secure these chemicals and protect your business, your employees, your neighbors and your community?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) implemented the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) in 2007 to address such concerns.
Burns & McDonnell stands ready to assist you in meeting these key standards. We can help you navigate the massive amounts of data required for submitting your site security plan (SSP), including the challenges of interim, planned and proposed security measures.
Security Assistance from SSP to Implementation
Once security measures are included in your SSP, DHS will expect to see them implemented. Our team of consultants can assess your facility, recommend appropriate security components — based on the security principles of deter, detect, deny and defend — and write requests for qualifications (RFQs) for the integrator of your choice to bid. Our priority is to determine what will make your facility safe and obtain compliance.
When your SSP is accepted, our team can assist with implementation and construction project management.
DHS developed the CFATS in an initiative to identify and help protect high-risk chemical facilities from potential terrorism. More than 29,000 facilities submitted Top-Screens, the initial screening process through which chemical facilities provided information to DHS. An estimated 7,500 of those were required to comply with CFATS.
These designated facilities provided DHS with security vulnerability assessments (SVAs) and most have received their final tier ratings, signifying the level of risk a theft, diversion or sabotage would present to the community and the nation. This determination is based on many factors, including the facilities' proximity to urban areas and the possession of chemicals of interest in quantities exceeding the stipulated threshold, known as the screening threshold quantity.
The SSP or ASP is the core of CFATS compliance. With more than 1,000 questions for evaluation, the creation, approval and implementation of the SSP is the most challenging step. The SSP must describe which security measures will address which vulnerabilities identified in the facility's submitted SVA. The SSP must also describe how those measures will meet or exceed each applicable performance standard for the appropriate risk-based tier.
DHS established 18 CFATS risk-based performance standards that identify the areas for which a facility's security posture will be examined and compliance evaluated. Through these 18 standards, DHS mandates a defined security outcome. Covered facilities may implement the security processes and/or programs of their choice, as long as each facility achieves the requisite level of performance in each applicable area.
Once the SSP is submitted, the two-step approval process consists of a DHS representative plan review and a DHS representative site visit. Only after DHS approves the plan does the facility implement the physical, cyber, process and personnel security enhancements stipulated in the SSP.
An ASP may be submitted in place of the SSP, although this option is not as clearly defined and can face more inspector scrutiny. Companies with active security programs may consider this a viable alternative for meeting CFATS requirements. An ASP can result in a functioning corporate security plan or program for daily operations, while an SSP will not.
CFATS regulations are estimated to cost the chemical industry $3.6 billion over the first three years of implementation. Although there is a significant amount of work to be done by the industry to adhere to these new standards, the potential consequences of inadequate security proves the importance of better protecting our nation's chemical facilities.
- SSP or alternate security plan (ASP) preparation
- Planned and/or proposed security measure RFQ creation
- Security training: terrorism identification and prevention, bomb identification, suspicious person/behavior identification
- Development and implementation of security process and procedures
- Corporate security plan development and implementation
- Emergency response, crisis management and business continuity planning
- Computer network penetration testing and validation
- Client assistance during DHS inspections
- Security design

Poems about Politics
I should've listened to my girlfriend Instead of standing in this line That stretches 'round an arena
Please do not misunderstand my words I love democracy very much Its just that every four years in this nation
I have dreamed about working in a city council in the state of Texas for quite a while.
Who am I? I am me, Come and view the world as I see, My name is Jayla and I really like school,
I saw the world for what it truly is when i closed my eyes. She figured out her worth when she closed her thighs
Yes, he lost the election But the scary part is apparently 47 percent of my fellow Hoosiers
Look at this room, Why does everybody look the same? Are we still in the same Atlanta, Georgia?
A story goes untold as life unfolds, trying to save a soul while mine is being sold, stormy nights in my soul this beauty gets old.
The platforms are my heels, votes garnered with the slick smile on my face.
Yes! Yes! He accept my friend request I could remember the joy that filled my soul

[What is Kava?]
Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and 'awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.
Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.
[Kava is Safe to Use]
The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.
In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava's margin of safety far surpasses that of it's pharmaceutical equivalent.
Kava's can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava's anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.
1. Kava as a Therapy for Anxiety
2. Kava May Remedy Menopausal Mood Swings
3. Weight Loss
4. Combat Premature Aging
5. Quit Smoking Aid
6. Combat pain as an analgesic
7. Insomnia
8. Depression
