If you haven't heard yet, ASOS quietly and stealthily introduced shipping charges for international orders last week. This means that your cheap impulse buys now suddenly come with an additional $4.99 on top for delivery, implying that in many cases, buying internationally is no longer a bargain.
There's no clear information available as to why ASOS have taken this step, though it's possible that the technical glitch they suffered in February, where an IT upgrade caused the suspension of express delivery orders, and a subsequent backlog may have cost them a fair bit, and this is their way of clawing back a few cents. That's not official though.
It's not all doom and gloom though - if you order over $30 at a time, your delivery is free, so for the most part, many of us won't be affected - it's really largely the impulse buys that suffer. If you buy from ASOS a lot, there's also their VIP club where for the grand fee of $39 a year (currently, it's normally $49) you can buy as often and as little as you like for your free delivery, just six purchases in a year will just about cover your annual membership.
There's also the lure of free express shipping, where (unless you live in one of a handful of places) four express shipping purchases in a year will see you more than cover your membership fee, to have your items in hand in two days. All fine and well, but CaptainJack found more than a few disgruntled ASOS Premier customers in his recent blog post. He did determine, however, that Premier might be good for those who make at least 4 or 5 purchases from ASOS within a year, those who are in the habit of making purchases at the last minute (saving you from having to pay $10 extra for express shipping on orders under $125) and who value the flexibility of being able to return an item at zero cost once you've had a chance to evaluate it in person (saving you the usual $5.95 to $10 cost for returning goods).
I've been reading the comments from people across the web with their thoughts on ASOS' new fee, and not everyone is upset about it. Opinions range from "now I won't buy from them anymore" to "£4.99 is nothing". Personally I'm in the second camp, as $4.99 is definitely on the lower end of the International shipping rate scale. I was looking at the Cath Kidson Pocket Mirror on ASOS as an example - It's discounted to $5.88, so add $4.99 delivery and it'll be $10.87 delivered. Try to buy the same item (different design) from Cath Kidson direct though, and they'll charge you $5.99 for the mirror but sting you with a whopping $36 shipping fee.
Some ASOS regulars, however, seem to be feeling a little let down (or crushed, to quote the exact words) by this new charge and say they'll be shopping elsewhere for now. Others, meanwhile feel that ASOS offered free delivery for long enough, and it's only fair that they introduce a fee, while others are just grateful that shipping doesn't cost much more than a cup of coffee in the big CBD areas.
So while you may be better off shopping locally for some of your smaller, single purchase items, it doesn't really take much to add up to $30, at which point your delivery is free anyway. We're curious though - does this new delivery charge impact on you? Would you consider joining up for Premium ASOS or will you be spending your dollars elsewhere till they bring back free delivery?

Thoughts on technology and innovation
Hooray Cloud!
Matt Rist, Director, Product Delivery
My mac went in for repairs this week. Which stinks. I had to get a loaner mac, which wasn't set up like I had my machine. I was anticipating hours getting the loaner configured with everything I needed.
Your computer is something very personal and customized exactly to your needs. We spend countless hours over the history of our machines making tweaks, adjusting preferences, updating software. You won't find 2 computers that are alike at NimbleUser.
But ... as I started to get the loaner set up I realize this isn't so bad after all. It didn't take me hours to get things set up. It took just a matter of minutes thanks to the power of the cloud. Here are a few services that made it easy for me to hit the ground running with the loaner mac.
I love cloud computing.
On top of that there is nothing like having a well prepared IT group. Our IT Nimblers, Dave and Rob, helped make the process even smoother. They had a loaner mac ready to go right away which was already hooked up to our network, printers and had all the basic applications most of us use on a daily basis. Without this I might have been without a computer to use for a while. And it would have thrown a kink into their already busy schedule.
So what traditionally is a painful process of losing your PC for a while ended up being a great example of how a well prepared IT group and cloud computing got me back up and working with in minutes.
Hooray Cloud!!

Raw Korean-Style Kelp Noodles with Vegetablesjrubino
- Serves: 4 people
My newest favorite raw food is kelp noodles, made from a sea vegetable and full of minerals and iodine, with only about 10 calories per serving. They are pliable but crunchy when cold; rinse them under warm water to soften before using. Of course, you can substitute vegetable noodles; simply use a spiral slicer on two zucchini. For more protein, sprinkle this with a couple tablespoons of almonds or sesame seeds before serving.
- Place shallots, mushrooms, and garlic in a large bowl; add your choice of soy sauce plus sesame oil and toss to mix well. Set aside for at least 15–20 minutes to marinate and soften.
- Add carrot, kelp noodles, spinach, and scallions to bowl. Mix well. Will keep for 1 day, refrigerated.
PER SERVING: 88 cal, 7g fat (3g mono, 3g poly, 1g sat), 0mg chol, 1g protein, 5g carb, 1g fiber, 225mg sodium

"We'll never do foster care. Never."
That's what my husband, Adam, and I said about the emotionally risky role of fostering before we were married. We were just starting to dream up our life together and there were many conversations about adoption. It was on both our minds and hearts and had always been in our individual life plans. There was one conversation in particular when we let each other know that we could never do foster care — adoption, yes, but never fostering. The temporary nature of it would be too much for our hearts to handle. We needed the guarantee of adoption.
Fast-forward nine years and many different conversations, and we found ourselves sitting in classes to become foster parents. By then we had decided we would only take foster-to-adopt children. This criteria comes with an "almost guarantee" that the child will be free for adoption and thus, belong to us forever. We continued to keep the safety of our own hearts a priority.
We filled out the paperwork with criteria of the ideal children that would compliment how our family was currently operating. We said we were open, but when our hearts were checked, there was fear. The reality of life changing and our hearts being on the line was really scary. We waited for a few weeks in our "safety box," but we felt Jesus asking us to trust him in a bigger way. So, Adam and I made an agreement to say yes. To trust that any phone call we received to place a child with us would be an invitation to trust Jesus and his plan for our lives. To trust Him with the unknowns of our family. To trust Him with the safety of our boys (ages 1 and 5). To trust Him with our hearts...with our boys' hearts.
The phone rang. We said yes and they said yes. We went to the hospital to meet our little guy. We took turns feeding him there through the night to learn his special needs, and we instantly fell in love. And it was a whirlwind. There was too much to do and too much excitement to feel the weight at first. But we knew the sadness would come. Every child comes into foster care comes from a place of loss, and we were now a part of that story.
Then we saw his parent's faces in pictures from the NICU, and their suffering became a reality. The moments we were cherishing with this baby were moments of agony and loss for them. We cried…a lot. And we weren't expecting it. We were expecting to rescue hurting children, not hurting parents. Our mission changed, and our hearts changed. And, somehow, we loved them too.
Almost a month later and the first visit with his parents had come. And it turns out, a month is long enough to bond with a child and to waver on the thoughts you had before they were tied to any emotions. My prayers started to contradict each other. I prayed he would be ours forever and I prayed that his parents would be freed from their bondage to sin through Jesus. I didn't know how they could both exist, but I prayed God would work it out.
As I sat in the lobby of Children's Services with knots in my stomach, they walked in. I saw his mom and she saw me. Both of our eyes filled with tears. I could see instantly that she loved him. And in that moment I saw the innocence in her face even though I knew her story on paper. I saw a young mom who longed for her baby, who didn't quite know how to be a loving mom because no one had been one to her. And Jesus took me out of the picture. He let me see her the way He sees her. I forgot I wanted him to be ours. And as I handed our sweet boy to her, the words just came out of my mouth, "Here's your mommy!" As she walked away, I wept tears of joy. That moment, where God allowed me to forget about me, was the most alive I've ever felt.
So, here we are, coming up on six months of loving this baby boy like our own, and loving his parents. And it never looks like we think it will or even should. But we feel like we are getting glimpses into Jesus's heart like we've never seen before. Our hearts are literally hurting and weeping for sins that were so far from our lives just months ago.
If there's anything worth risking my heart for — this child, these children, these broken parents with broken childhoods of their own — they are worth my heart breaking. They were worth Jesus's life! They are certainly worth the sacrifice of our comfort.
So from here on out, we live in this place that is so uncertain, with our hearts wide open to brokenness in order to experience the fullness of God's plans. And though the hurt already hurts more than we imagined, and the breaking of our hearts is so real, we wouldn't be anywhere else. We have found that following Jesus into the most painful, messy parts of this world is the safest place to be.

From Aiken, South Carolina, USA:
My daughter, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes five months ago, was on Regular and Lente in the morning and Regular and Lente at dinner, but due to high readings in the morning we recently switched the dinner Lente to a third shot at bedtime. Her endocrinologist said that usually a third shot at bedtime is done with NPH, but since she was already on Lente we would try it. I thought that Lente and NPH were basically the same. What is the difference? Can you explain how a peaking insulin can work at night without food after the bedtime snack. Is it metabolized that differently at night?
Lente, which is a 3:7 mixture of Semilente and Ultralente has much the same time frame as NPH. On average, it starts to act a little sooner and lasts a little longer. The differences between the insulins is that in NPH the release in the body is slowed by bonding the insulin to protamine and in the Lente insulins the same effect is achieved by preparing the insulin in a microcrystalline form.
These long acting insulins do indeed peak in the middle of the night and may cause hypoglycemia. The traditional way to avoid this, and still ensure sufficient basal insulin, is to give the evening dose before supper and then to have a high protein bedtime snack both of which can be adjusted for things like vigorous afternoon exercise and appetite changes. If the before-breakfast blood sugars are high this may indeed indicate not enough evening NPH and one logical response, as in this case, would be to give the long-acting insulin at bedtime so that it will still be active in the morning. However, this is not the only interpretation, and a high morning blood sugar may reflect a counterregulatory hormone response to hypoglycemia [the Somogyi Effect] in the very early morning, in which case the evening NPH may actually need to be reduced. The only way to decide which explanation is correct is to do occasional blood sugars in the very early morning to see if they are low or not.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your daughter's endocrinologist. I her hemoglobin A1c level is too high, you might also talk about changing to two new insulins, Lantus (insulin glargine) which is usually given separately at bedtime and has an even action over the 24 hours, and Humalog or Novolog which can be given just after the meal so that the dose can be adjusted for appetite and pre meal blood sugar. Some children will dislike this regimen because it does involve four injections including a lunch time one at school.

READINGTON, N.J. - April 23, 2013 --Some parents are upset that a principal has banned girls from wearing strapless dresses to an eighth grade dance.
Mother Charlotte Nijenhuis tells the Courier News of Bridgewater she spoke to the Readington Middle School principal, who told her such dresses distract boys.
Nijenhuis says it's neither a woman's nor a girl's responsibility to control a man's or boy's behavior.
Melissa May says she would not allow her daughter to wear something that she felt was inappropriate.
The parents plan to take their dress code protest to the school board on Tuesday night.

There was a time when nobody took Southern rap seriously. According to Mississippi rapper Big K.R.I.T., this is no longer the case. "We make it cool to be Southern" he raps on his major label debut, "Live From the Underground." And he's right, particularly if that "we" includes the guests on his album. After all, those guests – Bun B, 8 Ball & MJG, Ludacris – have made it cool to be Southern for the last 15 years.

the impact of chronic sequelae with Campylbacter as an example
1.) Discuss the impact of chronic sequelae with Campylbacter as an example.© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 14, 2018, 7:42 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
While respiratory diseases is a very important form of illness in the US, foodborne disease with resulting in varied enteric discomforts ranks next to it (Foegeding, 1994) . Foodborne diseases are important vehicles to other clinical conditions ranging from diarrhea, vomiting, or other gastrointestinal manifestations such as dysentery (Lindsay, 1997). What makes the case even worse is that, there are a number of chronic sequelae which may result from such infection. Some bacteria associated with foodborne infections have been implicated for ankylosing spondylitis, arthropathies, renal disease, cardiac and neurologic disorders, and nutritional and other malabsorptive disorders (incapacitating diarrhea) (Lindsay, 1997). While some of these sequelae are still debatable (reviewed by Lindsay, 1997), it is wise to consider indeed its long-term implications to human health. Below is an example specific for Campylbacter jejuni.
Now before anything else, it must be emphasized here also that while the incidence of foodborne ...

The impact of chronic sequelae with Campylbacter as an example is thoroughly examined.

Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne was targeted Monday in court papers filed in Los Angeles claiming he helped push a teen-ager over the brink of depression to suicide with his satanic-influenced song, Suicide Solution. The lawsuit claims John McCollum, 19, killed himself with one shot from his father`s .22-caliber pistol in October 1984 after listening to Osbourne albums for several hours. He was still wearing stereo headphones when his body was discovered. The lyrics in Suicide Solution are part of what McCollum`s parents claim spurred the teenager`s suicide: ``. . . Breaking laws, knocking doors, but there`s no one at home. Made your bed, rest your head, but you lie there and moan. Where to hide, suicide is the only way out. Don`t know know what it`s really all about...`` The suit claims the lyrics are satanic-influenced.
Singer-songwriter Billy Joel and his wife, model Christie Brinkley, posed for the first time Friday with their two-week-old daughter, Alexa Ray, in the family`s New York apartment. Alexa Ray, born Dec. 29, weighed in at 6 1/2 pounds and was 20 inches long at birth.
Actress Jessica Lange and playwright-actor Sam Shepard took their new daughter home Sunday. The 7-pound, 14 ounce girl -- as yet unnamed -- was born Saturday and is their first child together. Lange, 36, also has a daughter, Alexandra, 4, by dancer Mikhail Baryishnikov.The baby was born at St. Vincent Hospital in Santa Fe, N.M. Lange and Shepard live together near Santa Fe. Lange, who won a supporting actress Oscar for her role in Tootsie, also has appeared in Frances, The Postman Always Rings Twice, Country and Sweet Dreams.
Cynthia Lennon was concerned the first time she saw her son Julian Lennon in concert last spring in Los Angeles. ``But,`` she said, ``all I did was smile and applaud.`` She says it`s a pity that young Lennon never had the chance to play with his father, ex-Beatle John Lennon. ``There are similiarities in their attitudes, in their humor and creativity,`` Lennon`s ex-wife says. Cynthia says she is horrified at the suggestion Julian is a reincarnation of his father. Julian, she says, ``really is his own person. When he`s onstage, he`s nothing like John at all.``

HOUSTON --More than 20 years after a little boy was kidnapped and murdered, his killer has been brought to justice.
Monday afternoon a jury found Obel Cruz-Garcia guilty of killing a seven-year-old boy. He was accused of abducting and killing Angelo Garcia, Jr., back in 1992 during a home invasion. The little boy's body was found six weeks later.
The case remained cold for nearly two decades until DNA evidence linked Cruz-Garcia to the crime scene.
Cruz-Garcia was convicted of capital murder. The punishment phase of his trial begins next. He faces life in prison or the death penalty.

Coolio is making a transition from rapper to chef, and he plans on auctioning off his entire music catalog to fund the new career move.
The 50-year-old artist known for hits like "Gangsta's Paradise" and "Fantastic Voyage" has put up all 123 songs that he's recorded on The Royalty Exchange, a website dedicated to auctioning off, "Royalty streams including music, film, TV, books, solar energy, pharmaceutical, intellectual property, oil/gas and more."
The bidding for Coolio's catalog starts at $140K, and it's estimated that the final bidding price will go as high as $225K. He plans on investing the funds from this auction to, "Expand his cookbook series and online cooking show." Coolio already released a cookbook in 2009 called Cookin' With Coolio which became a bestseller.
The average royalties from Coolio's music catalog is estimated at $23K a year, which is a nice payday for simply laying in the cut. Bidding for Coolio's music begins on August 28 and ends August 29.

USO Yokota Grand Opening
YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan – For more than 75 years the United Service Organizations has worked to support U.S. service members and their families throughout assignments, deployments and transition back to civilian life, while bringing them the comforts of home. Whether it's USO airport centers located around the world providing directions and a place to rest or one of the trademark USO tours where celebrities travel to meet and entertain service members assigned overseas. With more than 160 centers located throughout countries on every continent, with the exception of Antarctica, one could ask 'do we need another one?'
At Yokota Air Base the answer to that question is a resounding yes. For a brief period of time in the 1990's the USO had a center located in the Air Mobility Command passenger terminal. It was determined that the location was not ideal in terms of accessibility for resident service members or their families, so it was closed in late 2003. With the headquarters for USO Japan at Yokusuka Naval Base, many of the programs, events and services were reduced to a quarterly basis because of the three-hour and sometimes longer drive between the two installations. Well now they're back and better than ever.
"It's so exciting to be here on Yokota knowing that here's a population that has really been looking forward to having a USO," said Juliet Bucayo-Domingo, USO Japan director. "The feedback that we've been receiving has been nothing but positive and we can't wait to support the community."
The USO has been in the process of establishing a permanent center for more than a year which will be located in the Yujo Community Center but the completion date for the facility's renovation project has been pushed back to late 2017. Refusing to leave the base populous wanting for the better part of another year, the USO has opened a temporary facility in building 2080 next to the Yokota Community Center.
"This temporary location is kind of like us planting our flag and showing everyone that we are here to stay," Bucayu-Domingo said. "We will be here, we want to be integrated as part of the base and we want to be the first place you think of when you think about connection and community."
According to Bucayo-Domingo, despite constantly evolving to meet the needs of the military community, the heart of the USO mission remains the same; to provide service members and their families with a connection with their home, loved ones and the country they defend. The focus on connection is clearly shown through the services that will be immediately available at the temporary facility which include free Wi-Fi, free international phone calls and online gaming systems.
"The USO is here to provide a little bit of that comfort of home and help people stay connected with their family wherever they might be," Bucayo-Domingo said. "We're the one brand, the one place where people know they can stay connected with not just their families but the community as a whole."
She also mentioned that Yokota's USO would be looking for volunteers to help them support the base through family events, programs such as 'Operation Birthday Cake' and 'United Through Reading', or simple day-to-day operation of the center. With a worldwide volunteer force of over 30 thousand, in comparison to the approximately 500 paid staff members, it's clear that volunteers form the backbone of the organization and the USO wouldn't be able to complete their mission without them.
"It's a good way to give back to our service members and show our appreciation to them," Bucayo-Domingo said. "And for those service members who are looking to be engaged in the community, they can spend some time in a positive atmosphere while building up volunteer hours and forming connections with our cadre of volunteers at the USO."
So take some time to stop by USO Yokota, embrace the friendly atmosphere of home and get connected. - See more at: http://japan.stripes.com/base-info/connection-and-community#sthash.T1YxKjFx.dpuf

As a student, you'll have an academic advisor before you register for courses; in fact, we require it. You are responsible for meeting with your assigned academic advisor prior to course registration for guidance in selecting courses that comply with your specific program/major requirements. Once your advisor gives signed approval for courses, you can obtain a personal identification number (PINs) that allows registration on AUM's online registration system.
Students at AUM are broken into three groups for academic advising:
Bridge Program Student Advising
If you have been admitted to the Bridge program at AUM, you are advised by a member of the Bridge program staff.
Undeclared Major Advising
If you have been fully admitted to AUM, but have not declared a major of study, you are advised by the Undeclared Advisor in the Warhawk Academic Success Center.
Declared Major Advising
If you are fully admitted to AUM and have declared a major, you are advised in the School or department in which the major falls.
College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences Advising
College of Nursing & Health Sciences Advising
Pre-professional Program Advising
If you are interested in preparing for professional fields such as medicine, pharmacy, or law, you are expected to declare a separate major while at AUM. Pre-medicine, pre-pharmacy, pre-physical therapy, pre-law etc., are not technically majors; rather, they are pre-professional curricula. If you complete a pre-professional curricula, you will be required to declare a separate major such as Biology, Chemistry, Political Science, etc. If you're preparing for a professional career, you will receive advising specifically for your pre-professional curriculum as well as your major degree to insure that you meet the requirements associated with your AUM degree plan as well as admissions criteria for your graduate or continued professional studies.

Neighbors, employees and students have mixed feelings about the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary's decision to sell its 126-acre Strawberry campus and relocate to Southern California.
Seminary leaders made the announcement Tuesday, saying the property will be sold to North Coast Land Holdings, a San Rafael entity owned by a billion-dollar trust established by the late Barbara Fasken of Ross. The seminary, a Marin institution since 1959, plans to move in two years and create a commuter campus in the Bay Area.
The seminary's 90 employees and about 600 students, including 175 who live on campus, now have to decide whether they want to follow the school to Southern California. While some are excited about the change of venue, others are weighing their options.
Student Lyndsey Legier, who lives on campus, said she's graduating this semester, but feels bad for the students who recently signed up for three-year or four-year programs. She said she moved all the way from Georgia to attend the seminary.
"It just sucks for my friends who are still here. They have to figure out how to finish in two years or move to Southern California because we can't afford to live here," Legier said.
Juliann Chun, a part-time seminary employee, is considering her options after employees were informed of the decision Tuesday afternoon.
"It was shocking and sad at the same time," Chun said. "Golden Gate is in my heart."
For Shane Tanigawa, student and director of student services, the decision is an opportunity for growth.
"I'm excited. I've been here for 10 years as staff and a student," Tanigawa said. "I think this propels us forward."
Max Stabenow, student and admissions counselor, agreed.
"It's an opportunity to expand God's kingdom throughout the world," Stabenow said. "I'm confident in their leadership and direction."
Neighbors of the seminary, who have picturesque bay views, are worried about what will take the noted seminary's place. It's possible the site could become the new home for the private Branson School in Ross or another educational enterprise, but nothing has been set in stone.
Bruce Morse, who lives adjacent to the seminary, said he's concerned about the traffic and teenagers that would subsequently follow a move by Branson or another school.
"We recognize this is prime property, but we want to try to keep the character as much as possible," Morse said. "Ideally, we'd like to keep it exactly the way it is."
Morse said he hopes the trust and Mark Cavagnero of Mill Valley, an architect working on the project, continue to look to the seminary's 1984 master plan for guidance as promised to him and other members of the community. The county plan allowed the addition of six new campus buildings and 93 student and faculty units to the 211-unit campus complex, but none was built.
County planners struck down a proposal for 117 new dwellings, including 74 home sites for sale to the public, on the site two years ago because it conflicted with planning policies including the 1984 master plan. Morse said he hopes a plan like that doesn't come forward again after the seminary's sale.
"What was presented before by the seminary wasn't acceptable," Morse said.
Neighbors are concerned the trust will build massive housing units on the property, as county officials have already approved controversial 30-unit per acre zoning for two acres of the site.
The existing designation was cited as part of a hot debate this year involving plans for a priority development area in Strawberry, which identifies land for high-density housing near transit. County officials ended up dropping the controversial development in February, acquiescing to people's fears of regional plans to cluster affordable housing in suburban neighborhoods.
Marin housing advocate Dave Coury said the seminary property presents a real opportunity for the county to make the beautiful area accessible for everyone.
"I hope that the process of providing for housing is expedited and I hope it includes provisions for housing that would meet the needs of the community, especially its workers and people with disabilities and people of diverse cultures, ethnicities and races," Coury said. "I hope that policy makers can work with them to provide diverse housing types and not just big mansions."
County planning officials said any new building would be subject to a lengthy review process by the community, Planning Commission and county Board of Supervisors. The architect of the project has said several meetings with community groups have already been held and more will be scheduled.
Morse said neighbors will just have to wait and see what happens.
"Hopefully we'll be able to work something out," Morse said. "I suspect it's going to take years."

The Myth of Abner Doubleday and Baseball
Baseball season is in full swing here in the United States, despite the chilly weather we're still seeing in the northeast. This week, we celebrate that great American tradition by paying homage to Abner Doubleday. For many years, Abner Doubleday was considered the inventor of baseball. That story is pure legend. The truth of his life, however, is much more interesting.
Doubleday eventually found himself on administrative duty in Washington. He was a staunch supporter of Abraham Lincoln and rode with him on the train to Gettysburg, where Lincoln delivered The Gettysburg Address, one of the key speeches in American history. After the war, Doubleday commanded troops in Texas and San Francisco, where he eventually became president of the American Theosophical Society, whose members included Thomas Edison. He spent much time writing, eventually penning two major works on the Civil War.
Doubleday's connection to baseball comes from a 1907 report claiming Doubleday invented the sport in a cow pasture in Cooperstown, New York in 1839. In the years leading up to the report, a vicious debate raged in the United States on the origins of baseball. Had baseball been invented in the United States or was it a variation on a British game called rounders? National League president Abraham G. Mills and Chicago Cubs president Albert Spalding certainly didn't want to believe the game was British. Sportswriter Henry Chadwick, a native of Britain, believed the game had indeed evolved from rounders. He outlined similarities between the two games in a 1903 article. A commission was formed to research the truth–a committee of men handpicked by Spalding.
Enter Abner Graves, an engineer told the Akron Beacon Journal in 1905 that Doubleday had invented the game. Graves said he saw Doubleday diagram the game of a baseball field. Spalding wrote to Graves asking for proof. Graves told Spalding that no copies of the diagram survived and that almost all of the players were dead. He did, however, send Spalding a diagram he claimed looked just like the one Doubelday had drawn up. That was enough for Spalding, the 1907 report by Mills gave Doubleday–and America–credit for inventing the game.
There are some problems with that version of history. Doubleday wasn't in Cooperstown at all during 1839. He was a cadet at West Point–a first year cadet, to be exact, one who would have rarely been given leave. Doubleday left a prodigious body of written work, with only one mention of baseball–in 1871. Graves, if he did see the diagram, would have been five in 1839. Graves was also committed to an insane asylum as an old man. Mills' bias was obvious, too. Remember the Theosophical Society? Mills donated money to the organization.
Despite evidence to the contrary, the myth is resoundingly resilient. The National Baseball Hall of Fame was built in Cooperstown, New York in 1939, site of Doubleday's mythical first game. In 2010, Tim Arango of the New York Times revealed that Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig had written a letter, satating: "I really believe that Abner Doubleday is the 'Father of Baseball'." History is forgotten, but myth dies hard…especially when there is money to be made.
This week's statue was photographed by Abner Doubleday's 5th great-grand nephew, Scott Nelson. The statue stands on Reynolds Avenue. The statue stands nine feet tall on an eleven foot tall granite base. The sculptor was John Massey Rhind. It was dedicated on September 25, 1917 by the State of New York.

Stephen Hawking's comments about humanity will inspire your whole life
Stephen Hawking is one brilliant dude.
Even if you haven't seen the most recent film about his life, The Theory of Everything, you know that Stephen Hawking has one of the most brilliant minds in history.
But on Saturday night, he proved that he was more than just book-smart; he is down-to-earth enough to know the trouble and sorrows of One Direction fans.
Appearing as a 3D hologram at the Sydney Opera House (he was physically still at Cambridge University in England), Hawking offered responses to questions about black holes, the universe and, as he said, "something important:" One Direction.
The questioner asked him, "What do you think is the cosmological effect of Zayn leaving One Direction and consequently breaking the hearts of millions of teenage girls hearts across the world?"
More: Audience goes wild for Stephen Hawking at BAFTAs (VIDEO)
If it was meant to be funny or to throw him, the questioner was in for a treat and at the same time, potentially got millions of young girls interested in physics when Hawking responded, "Finally, a question about something important. My advice to any heartbroken young girl is to pay close attention to the study of theoretical physics. Because one day there may well be proof of multiple universes. It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that somewhere outside of our own universe lies another, different universe. And in that universe, Zayn is still in One Direction."
More:5 Facts about Stephen Hawking that weren't in the Theory of Everything
Hawking also said, "The fact that we humans, who are ourselves mere collections of fundamental particles of nature, have been able to come this close to an understanding of the laws governing us and our universe is a great triumph."
But the most inspiring moment came when he said, "So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes a universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up."
Coming from someone who has stared into the face of an incurable condition and has triumphed, so far, at every turn, it bears repeating his admonition to never give up and pay attention to the universe around you; it is a pretty amazing place.
Of course, it is not surprising, but so well said.

A year of not running: being happy when the shit hits the fan
For runners and triathletes, not being able to run or train for any length of time feels like torture. Not being able to do it for A YEAR is generally unthinkable and horrifying. Whatever kind of athlete you are, when suddenly you can no longer do much of anything, it's a
Sometimes, the unthinkable happens.
Just over a year ago, I did a half-iron triathlon. It was the fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life; yet, when I crossed the finish line after just over 7 hours, I allowed myself only a split second (no joke. maybe one full second.) worth of joy before the "could-have-done-better" began. Shortly thereafter, the shit hit the fan big time, with my body going into a year of perplexing dysfunction and often-debilitating pain. During this time, I've probably spent more time getting health care – with doctors (6), physical therapists (4), chiropractors (3), acupuncturists (3), the ART (active release techniques) guy (1), and, thank GOD, one truly remarkable therapist – than I have spent training. There were times, over the Winter, when the pain was at its worst, that I honestly did not think I could live with it, that I *wanted* to live with it. It is, so thankfully, much better now, but my activities are still very limited.
I'm not going to say I've got it all figured out, by any stretch; but I must admit, I have handled it all about a zillion times better than I would have anticipated. Early on, I thought I'd "go crazy" or "lose my mind." I've done my best to stay active on the days and in the ways in which I've been able. And, though I've lost a lot of strength physically…I've most definitely picked up strength mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Here are a few of the things I'd like every athlete coping with an injury…or every athlete who may one day deal with an injury, so, basically every athlete…to know. And, actually, these things are just as applicable to non-athletes, too.
Let yourself truly celebrate your achievements, while staying humble and grateful.
I can see from my new vantage point here mostly on the sidelines that a more fitting finish line response a year ago would have been sobbing tears of joy while doing cartwheels and screaming "OMFG! OMFG! OMFG! I AM ON TOP OF OF THE WORLD!!!" On the other hand, there's something to be said for humility, which is part of what you learn from this type of experience. The universe, it seems, does not want you to have a big old arrogant head; conversely, it does not want you to relentlessly beat the crap out of yourself. And oddly enough it is very possible – commonplace, even – to do both simultaneously. If Facebook triathlon groups are any indication, I am not alone in this regard.
So, let yourself *really* feel those intensely joyful, peak experiences while also not having the arrogance to take them the least bit for granted. Because really – none of us ever knows when a race or a ride or a run or a walk for that matter may be our last for a very long time or even forever.
Humility goes hand in hand with gratitude. For me, now, every swim, every ride when they can happen, and every one-mile jog-walk which I just now am finally able to try – is a win. It's tempting to belittle it, but NO. It's an absolute gift.
Learn to stay with your feelings, not run from them.
Whether we're aware of it or not, many of us routinely run from our feelings of insecurity, groundlessness, fear and sadness. This has been a HUGE strategy for me my whole life, and I don't do it halfway: when my Mom and Dad were getting divorced, I picked up and moved to the other side of the country. I'm not saying this is the case for everyone by any means, but for me, triathlon training – as much as I often genuinely enjoyed it – became just another means of running from my feelings of deep dissatisfaction and of not being good enough.
In this way, being "forced" by my injury to sit still long enough to feel my feelings was a true blessing. I'd go so far as to say, as hard as it's been, I'm grateful for it. When you sit still long enough to actually experience your not-so-happy feelings, you move through them and…guess what…then you feel the HAPPY feelings more, too. The universe is amazing that way.
To do this, instead of distracting yourself from your feelings via whatever means you traditionally do (Facebook? Cookies? Another work out when you really don't need one?)…just hang with them. Let them be. Give them some room to breathe.
Read or listen to some Pema Chodron. She has become my favorite writer during all of this, after my therapist recommended her. And she can say all of this much better than I. When Things Fall Apart, The Places That Scare You, The Wisdom of No Escape … all incredible books that will help you through any injury and probably change your life.
The big one: Learn to listen to your true self.
With every swim, every bike, every run, every weight lifted, I was, without awareness, on a mission to prove to myself that I was good. So much so that, even after one particular PT whom I saw only once accidentally went too far and made my injury worse, I put myself through an awful 13-mile run, which was intended to be my first training run for the Chicago Marathon. Clearly this was not in the cards; my body was telling me almost every step of that run to stop. I ignored it, and listened to the louder voice of "I can push through this." Because I felt if I didn't, I would have failed. I would have been less. At times, on that run, it felt like I was punishing myself for some unknown offense. I truly crossed a line.
But it is not our training or our race times or our accomplishments that makes us good. We all have innate goodness (or Buddha nature, if you're into that, as I am). Sometimes we need to learn to listen to THAT voice…not the voice of our egos but the voice of our deeper selves. If there is a nagging "doubt" in your mind, you might need to listen.
As endurance athletes, we all walk a fine line. Sometimes it is completely appropriate to listen to that voice in our head that drives us, that pushes us farther than we've gone before, the voice of motivation and determination. And, sometimes, as I have now learned the hard way (actually, there IS no easy way), the voice that whispers "stop" is more true. Learning to distinguish between the two has been an absolutely invaluable lesson.
Thank you, Universe.
For the first time in my life, even though I can't run even a mile, even though I have regained some of the weight I lost three years ago, even though I am not racing these summer weekends like so many of my friends, I can honestly say that I believe I am good. It's a very peaceful feeling.
If you are dealing with an injury or the shit has hit the fan and you want to chat, drop me a line. I understand.

The hotly anticipated third book in the bestselling Bone Season series – a ground-breaking, dystopian fantasy of extraordinary imagination
Following a bloody battle against foes on every side, Paige Mahoney has risen to the dangerous position of Underqueen, ruling over London's criminal population.
But, having turned her back on Jaxon Hall and with vengeful enemies still at large, the task of stabilising the fractured underworld has never seemed so challenging.
Little does Paige know that her reign may be cut short by the introduction of Senshield, a deadly technology that spells doom for the clairvoyant community and the world as they know it…
* This review is for the third book in a series. While there are no big spoilers for the previous two, this is not a stand alone and will make more sense to those who have read the previous installments.
If I am reading a series that is longer than three books and am going to lose interest in it, typically book three is where it all starts to fizzle out. I enjoyed the first two book in The Bone Season despite the fact that, in general, I have no interest in dystopian novels. However the criminal underground + supernatural element in this one kept me invested and entertained. I went into The Song Rising with some prejudice, almost prepared to finally get bored and be let down.
But I still really like this!
I like Paige Mahoney and the world building.
I also like the fact that this book is relatively short. There are a couple of really popular series out there that drive me nuts by putting hundreds more pages than the plot necessitates into nearly every book. Happily, you'll find no such self-indulgence here. This was a clean tight story that moved quickly! No element, plot thread, or setting every got the chance to wear out it's welcome. At the start I was very dubious about where Paige's story had left off in The Mime Order and was afraid that the whole Queen-of-the-Underworld thing would take over and annoy me. Not only was I relieved and happy to discover that it did neither, but am very excited about where the story ended with her heading into book four.
I need to point out how much appreciate that the Rephaite's sense of otherness is maintained while still involving them heavily in the story.
I've said it before, but one of my biggest pet peeves is when otherworldly races come across as little more than humans who are hot, immortal, and super-powered. In truth their nature should feel alien and difficult to understand, that's not easy to do while still making one a main character. Warden remains quite alien. Some may find his lack of emotion, or the fact that those he does have are so rarely glimpsed, frustrating. I however am glad who and what he and the other Rephaite's are have been kept in focus, even if it makes Paige's attraction to him slightly less clear. I don't think this is easy to achieve and imagine the desire to default to more human characteristics would be a challenge to avoid. I'm really impressed with Samantha Shannon's success at this so far.
The last portion of this book was scary, exciting, and all around had my adrenaline pumping as I flew threw the pages! I love that it ended in such a way that how and where Paige functioned in the story was set to pick up in a totally new place with a new purpose in book four.

Central Arkansas Christian's volleyball team opened 4A-Central play last week with a pair of wins.
Ken Roberts' Lady Mustangs opened the week 3-2 overall. They played a non-conference match Monday against Episcopal Collegiate and returned to conference play Tuesday against Marianna. They will sandwich conference matches at Clinton on Thursday and against Pulaski Robinson on Tuesday, Sept. 17, around the Volley in the Valley tournament at Russellville on Saturday.
Last week CAC beat Batesville Southside, 26-24, 25-17, 14-25, 25-15; and Maumelle, 25-21, 25-21, 25-21, before the Spikefest tournament in Little Rock on Saturday. There, the Lady Mustangs went 0-3 in pool play against Van Buren, Little Rock Christian and Bryant but beat Sylvan Hills in bracket play before falling to Magnolia.
"We played some of the best volleyball we've played all year," Roberts said of the tourney. "They were really pulling together. One of our starting setters (Bailey Zini) was out, so we had to go with a JV player, Sydney Foster, and she did a really good job.
"The girls were tired at the end of the day. We only played eight, so they were worn out, but they felt good about themselves. We felt like they were coming together as a team."
He said in the three-set win over Maumelle, his team seemed to be having fun.
"They were really relaxed," Roberts said. "I told them at the beginning of the year I wanted them to have fun, but it's more fun when you win."

In this search engine optimization tutorial, you will learn how to recover from traffic loss due to the Google Panda (or Farmer) update.
The Google Panda Update affects a lot of high traffic websites all over the Internet. This update affects websites that have the following 3 general characteristics:
- Low quality or thin content.
- Overall low quality site by importance and user experience.
- Massive amounts of content generated in the site, but they are written for the sole purpose of search engine optimization or advertisements and not to genuinely help the reader.
Hence the alternate name "Farm update", because it affects content farms. Those websites that hire a lot of writers to produce content, but don't exert much editorial emphasis on controlling and maximizing the quality of it's content. A common example of these websites are the article directories, review sites, etc.
If you got hit and are still confused about how to bring back the lost traffic, this tutorial is will help you solve this problem. Take note that the Google Panda recovery process can be broken down into 4 major phases:
- First phrase: Determining the issues present in the website.
- Second phase: Implementation of corrective actions.
- Third phase: Re-indexation phase
- Fourth phase: Final recovery phase
You may be asking how long it will take to recover from this update? Well, if you can spend one entire week examining your website for issues, then spend another entire month on implementation, Google will re-index your site completely in around 2 months after the implementation (for an average website with an average amount of inbound links from other websites). Bigger websites can re-index within up to 3 to 5 months.
Re-indexation is important because this is where Google picks up your improvement actions. The final recovery phase is where affected posts and content starts to pickup traffic again like it did prior to the update. The final recovery phase will happen after 2 months of full website re-indexation for an average website.
So for an average website, the entire process to recovery can take around 6 months on the average. This is a game of patience – you really need to wait for Google to pickup your improvements – there is no shortcut.
Phase 1: Problem Definition
There is an old adage that says: "A problem well defined is a problem half solved". This is true if you got hit by the Panda update. Can you confirm the cause? Google webmaster central blog released a very important list of checkpoints here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/05/more-guidance-on-building-high-quality.html. It is elaborated further below. You should examine and admit the mistakes as honestly as possible if you want to move forward. Write each problem on a piece of paper. The check points below require you to check your entire websites content, not just a few sampled pages.
{mospagebreak title=Checkpoints for Google Panda Farmer Update}
The 9 most important checkpoints are as follows:
1.) Users trust in your article.
- Do you commonly receive negative user comments or feedback? If you are receiving a substantial amount of negative comments about your content because of inaccuracies, etc then the majority of your website readers are not trusting your website and its content.
- Scan your entire websites content and look for posts that do not receive any comment, Facebook likes, inbound links, etc. Confirm this data with the bounce rate of that page as well as average time the user spends on that page.
Content that is not trusted has very low average user time and a very high bounce rate. If Google analytics data correlates strongly with social indicators, then users might not be trusting your content. Do you have a substantial amount of content that is not trusted by users?
2.) The amount of expertise shown in your content
- If your content is written by somebody else, are you sure they are an expert of that topic?
- Do you have a reputation of being an expert in your own field in which your website niche belongs?
For example, if you have an SEO blog, then at least you have some reputation and contribution within the SEO community. If you have a cooking blog, at least you are a chef of a prominent restaurant or a certified chef. Expert authors write better content than non-expert authors. These types of content are loved by Google.
3.) Do you have duplicate content issues in your website? Do you have a lot of redundant articles – the same content and thoughts, but rewritten with different words and title tags?
4.) Does your content have substantial spelling errors?
5.) Do you have original content published on your website or do you just scrape and copy content from other websites?
6.) Does your page content provide a substantial, insightful, complete, and detailed analysis and discussion? Or just consist of very shallow explanations?
7.) Has the content published been reviewed or seriously edited before publishing?
8.) Is your site an authority of the subject? You can tell this by logging in to your Google webmaster tools and check if you earn natural links from related websites or forums pointing to your content. Or if your content has been cited in other places in the Internet.
9.) Do you receive complaints about your heavy advertisements or having a higher percentage of ads compared to original text?
{mospagebreak title=Correcting Google Panda Update Issues}
Phase 2: Implementation of Corrective Actions
OK, now you know the problems in your website. It's time to implement some corrective actions. Below are the recommended actions for the common problems stated previously:
Problem 1.) Do you have substantial content that is not trusted by users?
To get the readers trust, first you need to implement the recommendations stated in this tutorial: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google-Optimization-Help/How-To-Increase-Google-Trust/ – particularly those listed in this section: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google-Optimization-Help/How-To-Increase-Google-Trust/2/
The next thing will be hard. If the issue of mistrust results from low quality content, then you really need to rewrite your content. Add more details and encourage user discussion. Removing the content will be fine but since you already invested some time in that content, rewriting seems to be a better idea even if it requires more time on your part.
Problem 2.) Content lacks expertise and detail
Problem 3.) Do you have duplicate content issues in your website? Do you have a lot of redundant articles?
Solution: You might need to rewrite your content to give more details. The main problem is if you have 20,000 pages of low quality and thin-content – the recommendation is to combine similar content.
200 high quality and useful article pages is better than having 20,000 very low quality pages of not useful content.
301 redirect all of the combined pages into the canonical/rewritten version: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=139394. If you cannot implement a 301 redirect, you might need to take a look at link rel canonical version.
URL1,URL2,URL3,URL4, URL5 as 5 low quality content in your website. If those URL1, URL2 and URL3 are very similar, you can write a 600 to 1000 words high quality article on URL1 (revising URL1 content).
Then also if URL4 and URL5 are of similar content, you can then combine by rewriting only either one of them (e.g URL4).
Finally, implement 301 redirect or link rel canonical tag to combine low quality content into their high quality content equivalent:
URL1<==301 redirect URL2 and URL3.
URL4<==301 redirect URL5.
The result is that you have fewer pages or URLs but they are very high in quality, unlike before. For link rel canonical, you can read this update: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/rel-canonical-html-head/
Problem 4.) Does your content have substantial spelling errors?
Review all of your content for correct spellings. It is important that before any content is published, it is thoroughly checked for correct spellings.
Problem 5.) Is all of you content original?
If there is substantial content on your website that is copied from other websites, then the recommended solution is to remove it from your website and the Google index. After deleting this content, make sure it returns a 404 header status.
Read this update about removal of URLs:
Stop scraping content from other websites if you are currently doing this practice.
Problem 6.) Does your page content provide a substantial, insightful, complete and detailed amount of content? Or just consist of very shallow explanations?
You can start by reading some content guidelines here: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google-Optimization-Help/How-To-Increase-Google-Trust/
Spend some time writing content (e.g. 1 to 4 hours for a 600 words to 1500 words content). The more time you exert on your content, the higher quality it will be. Spend some time thinking about it, explaining the details, doing some research and putting together some credible references.
Even better, spend time rewriting and editing the content. Some freelance writers, bloggers or authors rush their schedule by publishing a lot of content without paying serious attention to details, substance, and quality.
Problem 7.) Does your site manage to become an authority of the subject?
You can read this article about measuring authority of your website in Google: http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google-Optimization-Help/Measuring-Website-Authority-in-Google/
A great place to start is your content. Then once you have it, try to get some links from reputable and trusted websites. Those top quality websites that belongs to your niche can help your site become an authority.
Problem 8.) Do you receive complaints about your heavy advertisements or have a higher percentage of ads compared to original text?
Put on a user hat and try to read the content on your website with all those ads. Can you comfortably read it? If not try changing the layout of your ads or even consider minimizing them if they distract the readers experience.
You can also hire some beta testers to get input from them regarding their experience reading your website. If some of their comments are focused on the ads, you can remove them until the reading experience of your visitors is not affected.
Third phase: Re-indexation phase
Now that everything has been implemented, try to submit another new XML sitemap of your website URLs. You can also review your robots.txt file to make sure there are no mistakes.
Make sure your website has quality internal links. This is one way of speeding up the indexation of your website. Continue to get quality links from other related websites. As discussed previously, it will take somewhere between 2 to 3 months for full website re-indexation.
Fourth phase: Final recovery phase
Starting one to two months after implementation, start monitoring your Google analytics results for your website. You should see some traffic improvement after 2 months. A conservative estimate is that you will regain your lost traffic level after 6 months.

To boost your reputation and really have a house that is truly comfortable to live in, you could try renovating your place. If you have some things in it that need to be removed then you should get rid of them as soon as possible. If you strongly believe that some of the parts within the rooms of your house need to be changed drastically then you should do some budgeting and then decide to make alterations if you have the money to spend on revamping. Because you may have to cater to some important guests later on or accommodate friends and relatives from time to time, you should work to make your house more pleasing so that you would be able to boost your self-confidence, have a place that is truly fit for accommodation and also earn the respect of people. You don't have to have a luxurious home, though; but you have to have a residential establishment that is presentable at least. For some of the things that you could do to make your house become more stylish, please proceed below.
If the floors inside of your home aren't that pleasing to look at or already has some parts which are heavily damaged then you should go ahead and make changes to them. Exchange the old floor materials that you have with new ones and place materials for flooring that are appropriate for specific rooms. After all, no person would want to stay in a location where he or she can't roam around freely and you could offend people when you'd tell them to come to a place that can put them in danger. You have to make certain that your floors are free of things that can let people trip. It is also vital that you establish floors that are not only fit for walking and running but also strong enough to bear the weight of heavy people. If you have wooden floors, you may want to switch to using assorted travertine tiles london or any of the many tiles being sold because they're much more sturdy. On the other hand, when you do buy some, you should get different ones. You could gather ceramic tiles and place them in your living room and dining room and you may purchase glass tiles for your restroom. When you do buy, though, consider the design of your overall house. Get those that could make your place aesthetically attractive.
To really let yourself and people feel welcome inside of your house, you could do something about your lighting system. Do more than just place fluorescent lamps and light bulbs in certain areas. If you could, you should purchase a couple of elegant lamps and chandeliers that could make your home illuminated and stylish altogether. If you're not skillful when it comes to arranging electrical lines and appliances then you should consult with an electrician so that you would know which lighting tools to purchase and how to install what you'd buy.

"The most dangerous man in America." That was how J. Edgar Hoover once described George Kelly Barnes, aka "Machine Gun" Kelly. Better, however, to end that quote with a question mark, because Kelly, in fact, never shot anybody. But in 1933, Kelly (a bootlegger, then bank-robber) and his wife Kathryn were indeed wanted by every G-man in the country after the couple kidnapped an Oklahoma oil man and got away with $200,000 in ransom money.
The hunt for Kelly, who grew up in Memphis, and the capture of Kelly, who was nabbed in Memphis, may be a matter of American manhunt history.
But it's the stuff of great storytelling in the hands of author Ace Atkins, whose latest novelization of a true-crime story, Infamous (Putnam), follows Kelly and Kathryn and the events leading up to and after the Oklahoma kidnapping. That's 56 days the couple spent on the road fleeing the law and 20,000 miles traveled — Kelly providing the brawn; Kathryn, from Saltillo, Mississippi, providing the brains (and the good looks and the smart mouth and a craving for notoriety). She was, Atkins told the Flyer, a novelist's dream: "I'll never have a character I enjoyed writing as much as I did Kathryn Kelly." And as for her big lug, George:
"I don't think Kelly was a weak person," Atkins said. "I don't think he was a stupid person. But he was not a bloodthirsty criminal. I think Kelly would have been fine just being a bootlegger. But he really is one of the great Memphis characters: an average, good-time, wealthy frat boy who went to Central High."
Who went on to make it onto every front page in America before landing in Alcatraz — and inside the pages of Infamous.
Ace Atkins discussing and signing copies of "Infamous," Davis-Kidd Booksellers, Monday, April 26th, 6 p.m

Common keywords
There are several builtin keywords which can be used in any part regardless of the choice of plugin.
after: [part, part, part…]
Snapcraft will make sure that it builds all of the listed parts before it tries to build this part. Essentially these listed dependencies for this part, useful when the part needs a library or tool built by another part.
If such a dependency part is not defined in this snapcraft.yaml, it must be defined in the cloud parts library, and snapcraft will retrieve the definition of the part from the cloud. In this way, a shared library of parts is available to every snap author - just say 'after' and list the parts you want that others have already defined.
build-packages: [deb, deb, deb…]
A list of Ubuntu packages to install on the build host before building the part. The files from these packages typically will not go into the final snap unless they contain libraries that are direct dependencies of binaries within the snap (in which case they'll be discovered via
ldd), or they are explicitly described in stage-packages.
stage-packages: [deb, deb, deb…]
A list of Ubuntu packages to be downloaded and unpacked to join the part before it's built. Note that these packages are not installed on the host. Like the rest of the part, all files from these packages will make it into the final snap unless filtered out via the
organize: YAML
Snapcraft will rename files according to this YAML sub-section. The content of the 'organize' section consists of old path keys, and their new values after the renaming.
This can be used to avoid conflicts between parts that use the same name, or to map content from different parts into a common conventional file structure. For example:
organize: usr/oldfilename: usr/newfilename usr/local/share/: usr/share/
The key is the internal part filename, the value is the exposed filename that will be used during the staging process. You can rename whole subtrees of the part, or just specific files.
Note that the path is relative (even though it is "usr/local") because it refers to content underneath parts/
/install which is going to be mapped into the stage and prime areas.
filesets: YAML
When we map files into the stage and prime areas on the way to putting them into the snap, it is convenient to be able to refer to groups of files as well as individual files. Snapcraft lets you name a fileset and then use it later for inclusion or exclusion of those files from the resulting snap.
For example, consider man pages of header files.. You might want them in, or you might want to leave them out, but you definitely don't want to repeatedly have to list all of them either way.
This section is thus a YAML map of fileset names (the keys) to a list of filenames. The list is built up by adding individual files or whole subdirectory paths (and all the files under that path) and wildcard globs, and then pruning from those paths.
The wildcard * globs all files in that path. Exclusions are denoted by an initial
For example you could add usr/local/* then remove usr/local/man/*:
filesets: allbutman: [ usr/local/*, -usr/local/man/* ] manpages: [ usr/local/man ]
Filenames are relative to the part install directory in
parts/<part-name>/install. If you have used 'organize' to rename files then the filesets will be built up from the names after organization.
stage: YAML file and fileset list
A list of files from a part install directory to copy into
stage/. Rules applying to the list here are the same as those of filesets. Referencing of fileset keys is done with a $ prefixing the fileset key, which will expand with the value of such key.
For example:
stage: - usr/lib/* # Everything under parts/<part-name>/install/usr/lib - -usr/lib/libtest.so # Excludng libtest.so - $manpages # Including the 'manpages' fileset
prime: YAML file and fileset list
A list of files from a part install directory to copy into
prime/. This section takes exactly the same form as the 'stage' section but the files identified here will go into the ultimate snap (because the
prime/directory reflects the file structure of the snap with no extraneous content).
prepare: shell script
If present, the shell script defined here is run before the
buildstep of the plugin starts. The working directory is the base build directory for the given part. The defined script is run with
For example:
prepare: | cd scripts ./bootstrap.sh
build: shell script
If present, the shell script defined here is run instead of the
buildstep of the plugin. The working directory is the base build directory for the given part. The defined script is run with
For example:
plugin: make build: | make project make test make special-install
install: shell script
If present, the shell script defined here is run after the
buildstep of the plugin has finished. The working directory is the base build directory for the given part. The defined script is run with
For example:
install: | sed -i 's|/usr/bin|$SNAP/usr/bin|g' my-bin-artifact.sh mv my-bin-artifact.sh $SNAPCRAFT_PART_INSTALL/bin/my-bin-build.sh

CALGARY – Canada's immigration minister says it's best if he doesn't say much about a Canadian imam who was jailed in Turkey shortly after last month's failed coup.
"It might not be good for him or his family if we talk about details of this case in public," Immigration and Refugees Minister John McCallum said Friday.
"But there are many such cases that arise and we are doing our best to provide support."
Calgarian Davud Hanci was arrested for allegedly helping orchestrate the coup attempt.
He has been accused in Turkish media reports of having ties to Fethullah Gulen, a U.S.-based cleric the Turkish government accuses of masterminding the coup. Gulen, a former ally-turned-critic of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has denied any involvement.
Another Turkish Canadian, Ilhan Erdem, was also arrested last month at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport.
Since a state of emergency was declared in the failed coup's aftermath, some 35,000 people have been detained for questioning. More than 17,000 of them — including soldiers, police, judges and journalists — have been formally arrested to face trial.
McCallum, in Calgary for a roundtable on immigration, said it is difficult to comment on an individual case because of privacy concerns.
Hanci's wife, Rumeysa, said in an interview this week that she hasn't been able to get an explanation from Turkish authorities about what her husband is accused of doing.
She said she has trust in the Canadian government.
"I have a lot of faith in the Canadian government. They can do their best in their power to bring my husband home safely," she said.
"The only thing I want is my husband back."
McCallum said speaking publicly about the Hanci case isn't worth the risk.
"It's best not to discuss elements of an individual case in public," McCallum said.
"It could do harm. It could do good. It's better to work behind the scenes on such cases to see what we can do without getting too much into the media on individual cases."
