Promising police cadet Young-nam is sent to work in a small seaside village after her lesbian relationship is outed to her bosses in Seoul. Here, she meets a bullied teenager, Sun Dohee, and quickly becomes her trusted friend and defender. But as Young-nam looks further into Dohee's family life, she discovers a history of abuse by her stepfather, Yong-ha, whose own murky past masks the history of exploitative labour practices that have led to his becoming a powerful figure in the town.

The easiest way to debug these kind of errors is to have a look at the actual packet trace with a sniffer. Look at wether the server is sending syn+acks to all the connection attempts. You can also look for rst that may explain that "open in the client but immediately close" behaviour. Regarding what Oscar suggested about syn cookies, they are indeed a syn flood prevention technique, but they do not actually drop any connection so even if it is being used here it should not be an issue. You can guess if it is indeed used by the server if you see that some of the syn+acks replies it sends do not have any tcp option. Regards.

Make Pests Go And Keep Them Gone: Tips And Tricks
Has your home been invaded by pests? Are you struggling with an infestation of insects, mice or other vermin? Does nothing you do seem to work? You may just need some effective pest control tips that you can start using right away. The following article will point you in the right direction.
If you are seeing a large number of bugs indoors, slowly circle the perimeter of your house. Try to find any small openings where bugs could get in. Look closely near your chimney and the siding. If you locate a hole, buy silicone caulk and get the area fixed to the best of your ability.
Do not assume that pests are completely gone just because you have not seen any. If your exterminator wants to come back for a follow-up, you should follow their advice. There is a good chance that there is still a small population in your home that could have come from eggs, so listen to the professional and stick to the follow-up appointment.
Make sure that when you install your windows, they come equipped with screens for protection. Screens can serve as a very strong line of defense for bugs, as most will not get into your home if you have a good screen up. This small investment can save a lot of trouble in the future.
Be sure to close up any openings by which rodents could enter your home. This is especially important before winter, when rodents will be looking for a warm spot to take shelter. Look for cracks and holes of all sizes around the windows, vents and foundation of your home. Some small rodents need less than a quarter inch to squeeze into your home.
Find out if you have any stagnant water laying around. Stagnant pools of water will attract pests. Make sure to check your entire home for leaky pipes and make sure to clean the water trays under the house plants. When you remove the water from you home, the pests will have a hard time living there.
Remove dead trees and shrubbery. If you let these dead plants just sit around, you are begging for pests to hang out around your home. Instead, be proactive and remove them the minute you can. If it's not a full tree, but simply a few branches, cut them off immediately.
You should under no circumstances tolerate pest into your home. If you do not take action right away, the situation will get worse. An pest-infested home will lose its value, the pest will damage the home and some pest can actually transmit diseases to pets and in some cases to humans.
Learn more information about the rodents or insects that are taking over your house. Determine why they are there based on the things they are attracted to. You need to adapt the approach to the variety of pest for the most effective treatment.
Pest control does not have to be impossible. You do not have to spend hundreds of dollars on professional extermination services. Just use the tips that you have read in this article. Before long, you will drive those unwanted visitors out of your home so that you can live in peace again.…

Surrounded by high mountains, bordered by the clear sea, Montenegro is proud country of glorious past and great poets. Its greatest ruler and poet Petar Petrovic Njegos in his famous play "Ray of microcosm" has written "who can impose a limit of desire" And actually there is no limit to extraordinary beauty you will meet from its costal up to its continental and mountain landscape. However you reach Montenegro, through whichever"door" you enter, you will encounter intact nature and be welcomed by hospitable, proud and friendly people. If you are docked in bright morning or misty down at Kotor port, you will feel yourself part of the renaissance masterpiece paint. On the horizon in front of you a picturesque coast will appear - gentle, with sandy beaches and hundreds of years old olive groves, but also wild, with mountains which reach the sky as if guarding both the coast and old towns. The medieval fortresses and church domes of coastal towns tell the passenger that he has reached the right destination, a peaceful harbor and resting place after a long journey. While you dock in Kotor or Perast, you will be using the same moorings used by the ships and yachts of European kings and princes who have been enchanted by the magnificent beauty of Montenegro. Seventy-three kilometers of the best combination of sun, sea and coast - 117 beaches spread along the Montenegrin coast, offer different opportunities even for the pickiest of quests. The summer season in Montenegro lasts from May until October – 180 days of swimming! And, 240 sunny days during the year! Just ask yourself – on which kind of beach would you like to rest, on a sandy, pebble or stony beach? Perhaps on the same one the royal family used to swim long ago, on the "Queen's Beach" in Milocer? Did you know that the quality of the sand of the beaches of the Budvanska Riviera belong to the world's highest category? You wouldn't come amiss if choose a discrete, small beach in some sheltered cove that can be reached only by boat. Then again, if you wish to completely surrender to the sun and sea, go to the nudist beach Ada Bojana Or just go sightseeing old Kotor town protected as World Natural Heritage by UNESCO which three doors are opened to lead you through old, preserved town where history of great sailors, tradition of colorful carnivals and famous Boka marine soldiers still live its own story, despite the centuries left by. If you arrive by plane, you will see the snow covered mountain peaks and "the mountain eyes", the Black Lake or one of the 17 other lakes on the mountain of Durmitor, framed by meadows and centuries-old forests, the deep canyons of clear rivers, including the deepest one in Europe - canyon of the river Tara... The landscapes that have been included in the list of the World Natural Heritage by UNESCO are also visible from the airplane. You will also see the foaming line of the Adriatic coast and a dark blue sea of coves and bays.
Whichever land route you choose to take to Montenegro, by train or car, you will have a unique opportunity to enjoy magnificent scenery of intact nature, like Biogradska gora, the last remaining virgin forest in Europe, "King's Forest" and national park founded as early as 1878 by King Nikola, only six years after the United States of America had founded Yellowstone, the world's first national park. You will be able to see strong, fast and clear rivers, which have been carving shady mountains for centuries, creating vivid canyons. As unique scenery, you will see the 1300 meter deep canyon of the River Tara, the deepest one in Europe, second in the world after the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in America. If you wish to stop and rest – to fill your lungs with clean air, and your eyes with the beautiful landscape, many belvederes or meadows located on plateau, places of peace and serenity are waiting for you... On any one of the 18 lakes of the Durmitor Mountains, the Black Lake, Vrazje or Zminje Lake..., or in Prokletije, on the River Lim springs from, enjoy the beauty! Meet rare animal species that you can otherwise only find in books. If you come across Skadar Lake, the largest one in the Balkans, you should know that you come to the last habitat of pelicans in Europe, the largest bird reserve in the old continent.
There is hardly a place in Montenegro that in this way or another, with a monument or building, legend or some high-sounding name of a forest, peak or region, does not reflect the rich history of this territory. River Crnojevica old, royal settlement, Monestery Ostrog which is true wonder of the nature since being settled into high cliffs represents the meeting place of all confessions: the Orthodox, the Catholics and the Muslims and there are still countless wonders on this small territory of Crna Gora - Montenegro.

How cool is it that our new globe arrived today?? Happy International Children's Book Day! We celebrate during the whole month of April, from April 2 to April 30, which is Dia! El dia de los Ninos/El dia de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day). Join us in the celebration! If you do, write and let me know how you celebrate!
Each year a different national section of IBBY sponsors International Children's Book Day on April 2. In 2014, Ireland is the sponsor. Below is a letter from Ireland's Children's Laureate Siobhan Parkinson, to the children of the world:
Readers often ask writers how it is that they write their stories – where do the ideas come from? From my imagination, the writer answers. Ah, yes, readers might say. But where is your imagination, and what is it made of, and has everyone got one?
Well, says the writer, it is in my head, of course, and it is made of pictures and words and memories and traces of other stories and words and fragments of things and melodies and thoughts and faces and monsters and shapes and words and movements and words and waves and arabesques and landscapes and words and perfumes and feelings and colours and rhymes and little clicks and whooshes and tastes and bursts of energy and riddles and breezes and words. And it is all swirling around in there and singing and kaleidoscoping and floating and sitting and thinking and scratching its head.
Of course everyone has an imagination: otherwise we wouldn't be able to dream. Not everyone's imagination has the same stuff in it, though. Cooks' imaginations probably have mostly taste in them, and artists' imaginations mostly colours and shapes. Writers' imaginations, though, are mostly full of words.
And for readers of and listeners to stories, their imaginations run on words too. The writer's imagination works and spins and shapes ideas and sounds and voices and characters and events into a story, and the story is made of nothing but words, battalions of squiggles marching across the pages. Then along comes a reader and the squiggles come to life. They stay on the page, they still look like battalions, but they are also romping about in the reader's imagination, and the reader is now shaping and spinning the words so that the story runs now inside his or her head, as it once did in the head of the writer.
That is why the reader is just as important to the story as the writer. There is only one writer for each story, but there are hundreds or thousands or maybe even millions of readers, in the writer's own language, or perhaps even translated into many languages. Without the writer the story would never be born; but without all the thousands of readers around the world, the story would not get to live all the lives it can live.
Every reader of a story has something in common with every other reader of that story. Separately, and yet in a way also together, they have re-created the writer's story in their own imagination: an act that is both private and public, individual and communal, intimate and international. It may well be what humans do best.
Keep reading!

symfony Unable to parse default value as date/time value: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

- Comments Off on symfony Unable to parse default value as date/time value: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
I've just made a change to a symfony project's schema.yml file and tried to rebuild the model and came across this error message:
Unable to parse default value as date/time value: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'
Which was stopping the build. After looking at various places, it seems this is a problem with Creole, (propel's DBAL).
Before PHP v5.2.4, you could do a strtotime on a value of 000-00-00 00:00:00 and you would get a weird date, something in 1999. Not sure why :S Since the 5.2.4 update however this bug has been fixed and you will now get boolean false returned.
The symfony plugin sfGuard, which is widely used, uses 0000-00-00 00:00:00 as a default value in it's schema for some fields and this will now cause problems. To fix this, edit sfGuard's schema and change those default values to something like 1970-01-01 and that should do the trick.
Unfortunately Creole isn't actively maintained anymore so it's not likely to be updated soon to fix this.

I've been working over the weekend on a site and I got to the part of writing the client side MVC using jQuery (because I love the idea now!).
I found out that jQuery has a nice little method for loading external scripts into the page at run time called getScript(). It basically gets the contents of the external file using an AJAX request and then eval()s the code at runtime, which seems like a perfect way of doing it. I reckon it's much better than appending new <script> tags to the <head> tag as well.
The only issue is that it can take some time to load an external file so you can't always run functions from within that file straight away. Thankfully there is a workaround for this using another jQuery method. You basically set all AJAX request to be synchronous before you run getScript() and then set AJAX requests to be asynchronous again after the script is loaded. If you end up loading like 20 files at the beginning of a page load this could take a while but hopefully you won't be doing that 😛
$.ajaxSetup({async: false});
$.ajaxSetup({async: true});

- Comments Off on SproutCore: a proper javascript framework
I wrote a while ago about creating a client side MVC system in javascript.
Yesterday at one of the talks SproutCore was mentioned. I had a look today and it looks very promising. It's a full framework designed to create full 'thick client' javascript applications. The core of it was written in Ruby and I haven't looked into whether you have to know much Ruby to develop in it or not. It reminds me of symfony because you are given a number of build tools to use on the command line for creating controllers, new projects, models etc etc.
I think I'm falling in love with the general idea and it's great to see someone has actually implemented it quite well (from the looks of it). I haven't had the chance to try it out yet but I'm thinking of using it on a number of personal projects so we'll see how it goes!
Google Developer Day 2008
Posted 17 September, 2008on:

- Comments Off on Google Developer Day 2008
I had the fortune yesterday to attend the Google Developer Day 2008 in Wembley Stadium with a colleague from work.
We were told there were around 800 people there but with everyone sat down at the morning keynote meeting it didn't seem like so many. Also, pretty much everyone there had an iPhone! Everywhere you looked someone had an iPhone out. I guess it's not surprising with so many geeks in one room 😛
The whole experience was good, the talks were in depth and on the most part interesting (we went to the wrong room at one point due to a late room switch and I couldn't help but get a bit sleepy – the room was hot!).
There was an interesting talk by Dion Almaer on AJAX, Dion is the co-owner of Ajaxian. The session was called 'The State of AJAX' and he talked about how AJAX has come along in recent times and about the current popular javascript frameworks and libraries. He made a good summary of the current status of these frameworks and talked about how with each framework's most recent user interface plug ins they are all very similar in functionality.
So which framework is best to use is now down to personal preference, where as before it was down to which framework was best for what you wanted to do. It certainly made me think about how JavaScript has become a mainstream language and it's made me think about concentrating on JavaScript as my primary language. It's strange, as up until recently a lot of people only saw JavaScript as an 'add-on' language, if that's the right way to describe it. But now with the way the web is going, with rich user interfaces and applications, JavaScript is definitely the way forward.
There were also talks on the Google App Engine and Google Web Toolkit. Both of these are very interesting offerings but I'm not sure whether I personally, or the company I work for will have use for either of them. At least for the near future.
The Google App Engine is – in it's most basic form – another cloud service. Much like Amazon's EC2 service. Google are now offering the ability to host your web site or application on their existing infrastructure/system architecture. There are the same obvious advantages to using this system as there are with Amazon; large scalability, strong infrastructure, fast up link speeds etc etc. You initially get 500mb of free space, 2GB of bandwidth per day and up to 5 million page views per month for free. After which you need to start forking out the cash. From what I gathered after using your free allowances, the service won't be charged on a pay as you go service as with Amazon, but you will have to buy 'blocks' of extra dish space, bandwidth etc etc. Personally I think I prefer the pay as you go method, but I haven't done any calculations to see which would be cheaper so I could easily be wrong.
Unfortunately, the only language currently supported on the Google App Engine is Python. They mentioned yesterday that they are committed to adding more language runtimes to the system, but seeing as Python is one of Google's 3 main languages, it was their obvious first choice. Sites and apps can only be pure Python as well, so no using plug ins/extensions which depend on C++ etc.
Google App engine is obviously still very mature so it wouldn't be fair to compare it to the other cloud services currently on offer but so far, I think Amazon's EC2 service is still on top. I won't go into why here 🙂
Throughout the day there were free refreshments and snacks and we were provided with a free (mostly) healthy lunch. At the end of the day they showed a video summarising the day's events and then there were drinks and food after which I wasn't able to stay for 😦 My colleague stayed on for a while and told me they had a Wii being played on the huge presentation screens with Guitar Hero, among other things such as retro Atari arcade consoles. It's a shame I didn't stay, I'd have been able to say I beat some Google guys at Guitar Hero! Woop 🙂
The day was a good experience and I'd go again, although some sessions did seem quite long and the seats weren't exactly comfortable, but a small price to pay for an event like this 🙂
Oh yeah, I didn't take any photos except for a few of the Wembley pitch (by going through a door I don't think we were allowed to go through) because I was told I wasn't allowed. Then we saw lots of other people taking pictures :S Ah well…

I just remembered that I had trouble finding out what I could access with this event handler function. Sure it was easy to find out when the event is dispatched, but how can I access the new field value edited by the user? How do I access the previous value?
So this is just a simple example showing you that. This also applies to the normal DataGrid and standard list controls.
The itemEditEnd event is dispatched (it's in the name) when a user finishes editing a cell so this is pretty much the best time to save the user's changes to that field/row.
Here's our function:
protected function saveChange(event:AdvancedDataGridEvent):void
* use event.dataField to get the edited field name
var field:String = event.dataField;
* i'm using the following line to get the 'id' of the row being edited
* because i passed an 'id' field through from my dataProvider.
var selectedID:String = event.currentTarget.selectedItem.id.toString();
* use the itemEditorInstance to get the newly edited value but retrieve
* the previous value from the existing grid data. i'm using the default
* textinput itemRenderer so I can retrieve the new value using the
* itemEditInstance's 'text' property.
var newValue:String = event.currentTarget.itemEditorInstance.text;
var prevValue:String = ProductPersonalisationList.selectedItem[event.dataField];
// run a http service call or something to save the change or validate the data

On June 4, Gong Seung Yeon's agency stated, "Gong Seung Yeon has been casted for SBS's 50 episode drama 'Six Flying Dragons.'"
"Six Flying Dragons" is a historical drama about real historical figures Lee Bang-won, Jung Do-jeon, and Yi Seong-gye, as well as fictional characters Lee Bang-ji, Moo Hyool, and Boon Yi. The story encompasses these six individuals becoming "dragons" in order to set the foundation for a new land.
Gong Seung Yeon's character Min Da Kyung will be one of Lee Bang-won's romantic interests. Not only does she possess great beauty, she is also wise and does not lose in debates with scholars. While she is the most similar to Lee Bang-won amongst the women vying for his love, she does not end up receiving his love. Nevertheless, she does not despair over this and moves forward with her ambitions of becoming queen.
The actress has commented, "Acting is fun and I am continuing to learn. I am very thankful to the director and writers who gave me this opportunity. I will learn a lot from my co-stars and grow as an actor."
"Six Flying Dragons" is now aiming to broadcast in October and plans to start filming in July. Yoo Ah In is expected to act as the male lead, Lee Bang-won, while Shin Se Kyung has been confirmed as the female lead for this drama.

The Internet's Secret Job
Liz Waid and Bruce Gulland tell about content moderators. These people see all the terrible images on the internet so that other people do not have to.
Watch Video
Voice 1
Welcome to Spotlight. I'm Liz Waid.
Voice 2
And I'm Bruce Gulland. Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
Voice 1
A woman is working on her computer. An image appears on her screen. It is not an image the woman wants to see. In it, a man is killing a dog. The woman quickly dismisses the image. Soon after, another image appears. This image is also difficult to look at. In it, two people are performing violent sexual acts. The woman dismisses this image too. Seeing these images is clearly difficult for the woman. But as she sits at her computer, the images continue to come. She will not turn the computer off or get up and walk away. She dislikes them, but looking at these images is part of her job. She is a content moderator.
Voice 2
Many people work in a job like this. But people rarely think about the people doing these jobs. Today's Spotlight is on the human cost of content moderation.
Voice 1
Today, almost half of the world's population uses the internet. People use it to share content like videos, images and ideas. The internet can be a wonderful thing. It can help connect people and spread understanding. But some people also use the internet in negative or illegal ways. This includes sharing violent or offensive things. This kind of content can frighten and disturb people. It can hurt people mentally. Sadly, there are a lot of things like this on the internet. How can people avoid seeing this terrible content?
Voice 2
For many large online companies, content moderation solves this issue. Content moderation involves finding images and words that are criminal or violent. A content moderator decides what content is bad for people to see. Then they remove this disturbing content from websites. Computer programs perform some content moderation. But computers cannot always understand the difference between good and bad content. So, online companies employ people to do this work.
Voice 1
But the policies and rules about content moderation are often held in secrecy. No one wants to talk about it, but everyone does it. An executive from a company that uses content moderators spoke to the New York Times. He did not share his name. But he said:
Voice 3
"Online companies pay millions a year for content moderation. It provides some control over the internet, which for the most part is not controllable. If businesses do not do it their chance to make more money will completely disappear."
Voice 2
Content moderators remove many different kinds of offensive content. This content may include violence, pornography, child abuse, animal abuse, or hateful images. How does a moderator decide what should be deleted? Some of the decisions are simple. But others may be more difficult. They may change depending on the culture or a person's beliefs. Dave Willner began working at Facebook in 2008. He told The Verge:
Voice 4
"We were told to take down anything that makes you feel bad, that makes you feel bad in your stomach."
Voice 1
Seeing these terrible things has a cost. For example, a content moderator could see 100 terrible images or videos in a day. Seeing this many horrible images can be very bad for a person. Many moderators are not prepared to see so many terrible things. And it is a job that becomes more and more difficult over time. Rob is former moderator for YouTube. He tells Wired Magazine,
Voice 5
"Everyone reaches their limit, usually between three to five months. You just think 'What am I spending my day doing? This is horrible.'"
Voice 2
Some content moderators develop mental problems. The stories and images that they see change how they think about the world. Some moderators become anxious or fearful. Other moderators become depressed. Rob experienced this. The videos he watched every day made him feel horrible. So he began to drink a lot of alcohol. This made him feel less emotional pain. But it did not really help. He tells Wired:
Voice 5
"If someone made a video of violence against animals, they were usually the one who hurt the animal. That person was proud of it. And seeing it from the eyes of someone who was proud to do a horrible thing, not just a news report about it, it hurts you worse. It just gives you a much worse view of humanity."
Voice 2
Rob left his job after only a few months. He could not deal with what he had to see.
Voice 1
In 2016, two content moderators accused the company Microsoft of not providing enough mental support for content moderators. Microsoft employed the two men for several years. During that time, the men saw many horrible things. The images and videos from their job invaded their private lives. One of the men was named Henry Soto. During his time at Microsoft, he saw many child pornography videos. These images of sexual acts including children affected Soto deeply. Now, he cannot even see his own son without thinking about them. Microsoft says that they employed a counselor to talk to Soto about his mental health. But Soto says that this was not enough.
Voice 2
Many content moderators feel that companies do not treat them well. Many are from poor countries, and are not paid well. No one warns them of how difficult their jobs will be. Ben Wells is the lawyer representing Henry Soto against Microsoft. He told Al Jazeera why it is important for businesses to address these problems.
Voice 6
"These internet service providers and tech companies make billions of dollars. But like a lot of products, there is a toxic by-product that comes as a result. And that toxic by-product needs to be managed. And the employees that work with that toxic by-product need to be protected."
Voice 1
Terrible content will always exist on the internet. So websites will continue to need content moderation. Making the internet safe for all people seems like a good policy. But who will make the content moderators safe? There seems to be no easy solution.
Voice 2
What do you think? What kinds of support should businesses provide for content moderators? What is the best way to moderate content on the internet? Is content moderation necessary?

Question:What is the best way to keep terrible images and videos off the internet? Who should be responsible for keeping the internet safe for all people?
Sign in to leave a comment
In my opinion content moderation on the Internet appears as necessary absolutely but performing this important, secret job can influence negatively moderators' psychical condition. Therefore content moderators should be given the effective support, protection from their employers, companies must undertake major responsibility for dealing with moderators, treating them better. No doubt, keeping Internet safe to find, remove horrible images and videos means doing difficult, responsible, endless job that may hurt considerably worker's mental health or even change completely his view of humanity as well!
Thanks Spotlight team for sharing such interesting topic!
Even if the AI is very smart nowadays, they cannot detect the terrible images perfectly. So I think humans should do this job. But the moderators should take a rest enough. The companies have to know their difficulties showing the terrible images, and give them enough welfares…
Of course, the best way to keep terrible date off the internet is using computer program trained well. However it will not be able to be perfect even in the future. therefor the content moderators are obliged to be needed . So the point is, to make better the welfare of content moderators. it will be paying more money, or offering mental treatments.
In my opinion, sites should provide moderation of content. Unfortunately, it is impossible to protect young people and Internet users from this kind of aggression without this kind of censorship. I do not understand why people do things like that. There is no gain or pleasure in offending other people ...

|The almighty DJ Spinna has put together an eclectic collection of soul/funk/disco "Post Disco Club Jams", and I have to admit I'm not familiar with many of them, but on the other hand isn't it amazing to see how much quality music has been released back in the day? Thanks to DJ Spinna and BBE Records, many of these past and almost forgotten gems are now available again, making this an essential compilation to own unless you're among those who own the original releases. The first CD is a continuous DJ mix by DJ Spinna, while the second CD includes twelve rare unmixed gems. To make things even better, the digital downloads feature bonus tracks, including exclusive DJ Spinna remixes of "I'm your superman" by Jan Leslie Holmes. Highly recommended.

I am super happy with the service I received from JR Copiers. When I called for service, they answered my call immediately and were very thorough.
We continue to get great service through JR Copier whenever we need supplies or service on our copiers! Josh has been very helpful to our clinic every time he comes out and is always very polite. Justin was also great help to us over the phone recently. He walked me through some things and was very patient, kind, and made it very easy to understand what he needed me to do. Thank you!!
I highly recommend JR Copier for your copier needs. We have been with JR Copier for almost 10 years and they continue to provide superior customer service, competitive pricing, and overall great to work with.

Integro Vice President and ARMA Fellow, John Frost, will present at the ARMA Houston Spring Conference on the topic, "ECM's Future and the Impact on Information Governance."
Enterprise Content Management in its current form has been more a departmentalized solution and not true enterprise. Governance professionals have had to deal with multiple content vendors in organizations and trying to manage records in numerous content systems. Now, with cloud platforms on the rise and even the most highly regulated industries taking advantage of them, the future looks bright for true "enterprise" content management and the means to effectively govern it.

We are oyster lovers and were delighted to find so many oyster bars in New Orleans all offering a myriad of delicious preparations to tempt us with. We were anxious to get acquainted with the local fresh plump oysters from the gulf, so we made the rounds at a few nearby oyster bars where we enjoyed them shucked to order and served with all the fixings. All of the oysters we had that night were from Area 3 St. Bernard Parish, below Lake Borgne.
Our first stop was at the Royal House Oyster Bar, 441 Royal Street. We were staying at the Hotel Le Marais, which is in the French Quarter and walking distance to everything. We loved the dark wood paneling and open feel at the bar, it was warm and welcoming as if we were hanging out in a neighborhood spot.
This is our server, she was kept busy shucking oysters. The best thing about sitting at the counter is that your server is right there if you need anything. We loved the prices, which were $13-15 for a dozen, and it wasn't even happy hour!
Our oyster platter arrived, served icy cold and simply with cocktail sauce, a big dollop of spicy horseradish and some fresh lemon wedges. There are additional hot sauces, ketchup and mayo if you so desire.
The oysters are very mild, sweet and plump and are delicious plain or gussied up. I loved them with a squeeze of lemon juice and a good dose of hot sauce.
The next stop was Acme Oyster House, 724 Iberville St website. This is everybody's favorite place to get oysters in the French Quarter. It was packed and noisy, and we were seated in the back since we didn't want to wait in line for the oysterbar. The room was garishly lit with neon lights, and loud music was playing in tandem with multiple flat screen tvs blaring a football game that had the entire room yelling and hooting.
We had three different hot sauces from local hot sauce manufacturer Tabasco: a bottle of the original Tabasco pepper sauce, a Chipotle Tabasco, and a Buffalo Style sauce.
These oysters were equally sweet and plump, I mentioned it was like being kissed by the sea on Instagram… They did not give us extra horseradish, and since we were seated at a table in the back room, we didn't see our server for awhile to ask for anything. So, while we loved these oysters, I'm not a sports bar girl, so I didn't find the setting to be as nice as the previous spot.
We decided to check out Felix's Restaurant and Oyster Bar, 739 Iberville Street, because it is just across the street from Acme and is even more highly recommended.
We sat at the counter where we found the no-nonsense ambiance to be a relief.
By this point, we ordered just a half dozen, and our server hooked us up with a couple extra. These were served simply with just a few lemon wedges. At each place at the counter was a container of horseradish and some hot sauce and a bowl of saltines, which you're supposed to put the oyster on along with the fixings. We had achieved bivalve bliss and agreed that these were the best oysters of the evening, in the most enjoyable setting. I would pass on the lines for Acme and go to Felix's where you can enjoy the conversation of your shucker and the company of the folks sitting at the bar.

Customer Reviews
Fits well, easy to install, and looks sick!
Bumper is spot on, not too bulky, lightweight but sturdy. Looks and fit great, the black skid plate alignment was completely off, installed on a 2020 backcountry xrs, had to drill new holes. Besides that great bumper!
The bumper is light and strong but the alignment of the skid plate is way off. I re drilled all the holes
Fitment is amazing. Nice and strong and the ski plate is a plus too
We were very happy with the fit and finish of your product. The aluminum was a little thinner grade than expected but where it ties into the bottom of the machine we feel it'll do the trick. Thanks again great piece of fabrication.

Homeowners have a lot of choices when it comes to holiday lights
People can be very particular when it comes to Christmas light displays on their homes.
One of the big issues facing homeowners today is choosing among light strings that have warm white incandescent lights, bright white LEDs, warm white LEDs, spotlights and even laser lights being projected on the house.
Christmas displays with LED (light-emitting diode) lights started coming out in the late 1990s. Everyone liked the bulbs because they use less energy, which means you can power up more lights on a single plug. LEDs are also less likely to break and save energy.
A string of LEDs, however, can cost twice as much as a string of incandescent lights.
But some homeowners found that those original, pure-white LEDs produced light that was too harsh and bluish — unlike the yellow, comforting glow of incandescent lights.
The bright white seemed all right for contemporary-looking decorations or maybe to achieve an icy look but if someone wanted that warm, cozy look, they didn't want LEDs.
The marketplace responded by producing a new array of LEDs with varying kinds of lights. Now, there are warm yellowish white, bright white, pure white with lots of blue, and cool white with a little blue.
It can get confusing, particularly because there are more than several manufacturers of LEDs. And a cool white from one manufacturer can be called a pure white or something else by another manufacturer.
What if you need to replace just one string of lights? How can you be sure the new string will match the old strings? A lot of trial and error and many trips to a store might be required. You can avoid problems by always buying your lights from the same trusted vendor.
Other possibilities in lights choices include:
- No plugs needed: Because LEDs use less energy, they can often be battery-powered for use on wreaths, garlands, topiaries and even light strings. You will need to consider the color and whether they blend in with the rest of your lights.
- A rainbow of colors: LEDs are also available in pink, red, yellow, purple, blue and a host of other colors.
- Bulbs are changing: For years, the mini-light ruled. Now old-fashioned styles are back again with new variations. Their "glass" can be clear, frosted or patterned.
- Nets of lights: Buy nets of mini lights to cover trunks of trees or to carpet a swath of your yard.
- Ropes of lights: Ropes of tiny LEDs or incandescents covered in plastic can wrap railings or pillars or be used on roof lines or to outline a garden path.
No matter which type of light you choose, be sure to follow the manufacturer instructions closely when plugging one set to another and then to another. The instructions usually include the number of strands that can be safely daisy-chained together.
If you don't follow these instructions, there can be an electrical hazard and you might risk overloading the circuit, causing electrical issues elsewhere in your home.
If you are at all concerned with putting up your own decorations, you might consider hiring someone else to help with your lights.

The bread side order was microwaved and we couldn't eat it. The chicken was greasy and had no flavour. We had not had falafel Wales for a long time and last time it had been superb. What happened?

Dandelions and children go together. They both love to trespass on well-tended lawns. They pop up in places where you wish they wouldn't. They are irrepressible.
And even though adults try to turn them against each other (I was paid per plant to destroy the so-called weeds, with a dandelion fork), come seed time, children can't resist blowing on the silvery tufted heads of dandelions so they can continue to ruin the fine sod of grown-ups.
Everyone knows that the seeds, under silky, filamentous parachutes, ride the breeze far and wide. A mile is nothing — 60 miles or more is possible. But no one — that is to say, no scientists — had figured out the details of that flight.
This was just the kind of challenge to appeal to a group of researchers who set up a small wind tunnel, created model dandelion seeds, and recorded their flights in detail. They published their findings last week in the journal Nature.
The scientists knew that the key to the seed's flight was the tuft atop the stem on which hangs the dandelion seed. This tuft, called a pappus, is made up of a sparse thicket of filaments, or bristles, that look something like the sprouting hair on the head of the Chinese crested dog.
The pappus seemed to be acting like a balloon or a parachute, keeping the seed from succumbing to gravity. But it was not inflated as a balloon would be, and it did not block the air like a parachute.
[Like the Science Times page on Facebook. | Sign up for the Science Times newsletter.]
The researchers — including Cathal Cummins, Ignazio Maria Viola and Naomi Nakayama, all at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland — set up a small wind tunnel to mimic the conditions of a seed falling, floating a number of dandelion seeds with their top tufts in the breeze.
What they recorded surprised them. Above the pappus, the air flow took the form of something called a separated vortex ring, a kind of swirling eddy that had been considered a theoretical possibility, but was thought to be too unstable to exist in reality.
It was, they wrote, "a new class of fluid behavior" — air being the fluid in this case.
"The dandelion flies in such a way that it forms a vortex that contributes to keeping the dandelion afloat as long as possible," Dr. Viola said in an interview.
That happens because of the way air currents interact as they flow among the filaments of the pappus. Those currents help keep the whole seed structure afloat by increasing the drag on the falling pappus.
Dr. Cummins said the filaments make the pappus four times as efficient at staying afloat as a simple flat disc.
The vortex also contributes to the support of the pappus, because it forms a low-pressure area so that air rises. On a grand scale, something like this happens in a hurricane.
Other seeds and some insects use a similar kind of bristly flight. Some thrips have wings of bristles, not the membranes seen on other insects. And in water, black fly larvae may use bristly fans to suspend themselves and filter food particles out of the water.
The group tested their ideas with simplified artificial models, etched silicon discs that were porous like the bristly pappus. With the right amount of porosity, the same vortex appeared.
The finding is important, Dr. Nakayama said, for several reasons.
"This type of bristly structure is everywhere in the biological world. It has been invented many times independently" for seeds and for moving organisms, she said, but it is "quite unexplored."
It is also a newly observed phenomenon in fluid mechanics and may be of use in designing the tiniest of drones. Bristles may be better than wings for very small constructions.
Bristle flight does not work at a human-sized scale, however. Dr. Cummins said, "You would not want to jump out of an airplane with this kind of parachute."

Heads up! This blog post hasn't been updated in over 2 years. CodePen is an ever changing place, so if this post references features, you're probably better off checking the docs. Get in touch with support if you have further questions.
It was sometimes a surprise, and often not a pleasant one, when newly PRO members found out that the layout of the editor for Collab Mode and Professor Mode was different than the normal editor layout. No more! We've ditched that tabbed editor and moved everything back to the consistent (and we think better) normal editor.
As a quick backstory, the reason we originally created the tabbed editor was because we wanted to incorporate a realtime chat feature. We put it on the upper right of the page as an omnipresent bit of UI. Feedback over time taught us that people liked the Chat feature, they just wished (sometimes assumed) they could minimize it. So to accommodate that, we've moved the Chat down into a "tab" along the footer. With that out of the way, we could make the rest of the screen just like the regular editor, with it's (much more robust) set of layout customization features.
In Collab Mode, we think using the regular editor is better because individual collaborators can minimize/maximize each individual editor as needed. Or, leave them all open and have it be easier to see where/what other collaborators are doing.
In Professor Mode, we sync the minimization/maximization of editors to help focus students attention to specific places.
And of course Chat is still there. Even while minimized, it will let you know of new messages that you haven't seen yet through a slow-pulsing gradient highlight.

CAIRO, Egypt — Next Tuesday, a lawyer will plead for a Cairo court to suspend the execution of six men, arguing that their death sentences were unconstitutional. The only trouble is, the defendants are already dead.
Since the coup that swept Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi from power, hundreds of his supporters have been handed death sentences in a rash of mass trials. But until this month, only one had been carried out — against a man convicted of throwing another man off a roof.
A little over a week ago, however, six men sentenced to death by a military court were executed on charges of belonging to militant group Ansar Beit al-Maqdis and attacking security forces.
The day before, a Cairo court sentenced ousted president Morsi and 120 others to death on charges related to a mass prison break during the 2011 uprisings. Some were sentenced in absentia, including Sondos Asem, a young Oxford University student who used to work as a media coordinator for Morsi, and Emad Shahin, a well-known professor at the American University in Cairo.
The six executions carried out despite serious due process concerns set a worrying precedent. Rights groups called the sentences "politically motivated".
A key question now being debated: Will they really kill Morsi?
More from GlobalPost: Hear from Egypt's young revolutionaries behind bars
The precedent set by the court-ordered killings is already worrying monitors. "Now that they have been executed this paves the way for other executions to take place," said Mohamed Elmessiry, Egypt researcher with Amnesty International.
"It is a sign that some parts of the state are in a very bloody-minded mood; at times it seems as if there is a vendetta between parts of the state and an increasingly militant opposition," said Nathan Brown, professor of political science and international affairs at George Washington University.
In this case it appears that a serious miscarriage of justice took place, according to lawyers. Three of the six convicted men have an alibi — they were already in prison on the dates they allegedly carried out their attacks on the army. Ahmed Helmy, a lawyer who represented the men, said the court seemed unwilling to listen to the evidence. "The judge was shown official documents that proved that they were arrested before the crimes allegedly took place," he said. The documents included "times and places of arrest and the fact that they were in Azouli prison," a military detention facility known for human rights abuses.
Helmy said the outcome of the trial seemed like a foregone conclusion from the start.
"There is a sense that the sentences were already decided. The defendants told me not to bother [defending them]. They said, 'We know we will get the death penalty, don't trouble yourself.' They knew this would happen," he said.
More from GlobalPost: An entire city is going to be wiped off the map in Egypt
The whole trial was flawed, rights groups say. Elmessiry describes the proceedings as "procedurally completely null and void because they were held in enforced disappearance [not official detention] and they were not held in an official place of detention." The civilian defendants were also tried in a military court. The administrative case on June 2 will challenge the sentences on these grounds.
Helmy sees the executions as a warning to those still in jail.
"It was a kind of threat — they will apply this sentence to scare the other prisoners into negotiating with them and solving the crisis."
What do Egypt's friends have to say?
The United States gave a milquetoast response to Morsi's death sentence, saying they were "deeply concerned" — a sentiment that didn't get in the way of a meeting in Cairo last Wednesday between General Lloyd James Austin, the head of US Central Command, and Sisi. The presidency said the two men were talking about counterterrorism efforts.
"I think Western actors — the Europeans and the US — have essentially come to terms with the fact that the new Egyptian regime is following a repressive path," said Brown. He added that it is unlikely to pose a serious barrier to relations.
But if politically motivated death sentences continue — and particularly, if Morsi does end up being executed — the US and other Western governments who have supported the Sisi government will have some explaining to do.
"If the Egyptian government actually executed all those who have death sentences passed on them, the bloodletting would be hard to ignore. I think it would lead to a bit of international isolation," Brown said. "If instead we see selected executions it will lead to more tension in their relationship but will not completely disrupt it."
Already, Egypt's increasingly poor record on human rights is causing Cairo to lose friends in some European capitals. The president of the German parliament canceled a June meeting with Sisi, citing "human rights abuses and lack of parliamentary elections in Egypt." Egypt, meanwhile, denied that it had requested a meeting in the first place.
"What we've seen from the West is disappointing but expected," said Sarah Leah Whitson, head of the Middle East division at Human Rights Watch. The Obama administration "has routinely set aside the rights of Egyptian citizens in favor of its so-called strategic interests in Egypt," she said.
That doesn't mean US officials aren't keeping an eye on the Egyptian judiciary, however.
"I think a lot of diplomats are waiting to see whether the Court of Cassation [the final line of legal appeal] continues to function as a pressure valve or whether it begins finalizing the hundreds of preliminary death sentences currently before it," Whitson said.
Helmy said it is too soon to tell what will happen in those cases. But he doesn't think the former president will actually be executed.
"I don't expect they will carry out Morsi's sentence. They want to negotiate with the Muslim Brotherhood and they don't need to kill him now," he said.
What will happen in Egypt's courts is increasingly difficult to predict. Under former president Hosni Mubarak there were sometimes faulty sentences, but usually not in cases carrying the death penalty, Helmy said.
"Now you have the feeling that the whole system is lost, that the sentences comes from above and are already decided."

This is the primary cause of acquired flat foot in adults. Essentially the underlying pathomechanics is that the posterior tibial tendon and muscle just give up - they can no longer do their job. Why do they give up? My understanding and experience is that all that all those with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction have a medially located subtalar joint axis. If this is the case, then it means that the posterior tibial tendon will have a much shorter lever arm to the joint axis. This would mean that in these people the muscle would have to work substantially harder than if the tendon had a longer lever arm if the subtalar joint axis was closer to a more normal or average position. After a life time of having to work so much harder, no wonder the tendon and muscle complex just give up. This is becoming more common in runners who start forefoot striking.

How common is heel pain caused by gout?
This is something that I almost never see, but I have seen others claim that it is common. I recently did a liteature search on 'gout heel pain' and found next to nothing. The best I could find being to use colchicine for a few days as a diagnostic aid.

Are MBT Shoes Helpful?
Masai Barefoot Technology or MBT shoes are shoes that have been on the market for a while now and have a rocker bottom that is supposed to simulate the natural gait of walking barefoot that is modeled on the Masai people from Africa. The MBT company do make a lot of claims for the benefits of the shoes. They even used to make cliams about treating cellulite (but recently stopped that one). There is some limited evidence to support the claims about helping some people with postural porbalme, but there is not enough to support the wide range of claims made. Do MBT shoes work? Based on what i have read and what I understand, I think the shoes are beneficial in certain subpopulations, I would just prefer to see some better clinical trials to guide us as to how to better identify these people.

iPhone tool for biomechanical measurements
For those who still do measurements as part of your biomechanical assessment (I stopped doing this a long time ago, except for measuring the tibial angle for the lunge test) and you have an iPhone, have you seen the iHandy Carpenter Tool (search for it at iTunes). It's a cool way to do your measurements. It works really well for the Lunge Test.
