James Spann: Dry Friday for Alabama before Nate brings the rain from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.
STILL DRY TODAY: One more dry day for Alabama; we expect a good supply of sunshine today with a high in the mid 80s this afternoon. But all eyes in the weather office will be focused on Tropical Storm Nate, now in the western Caribbean with winds of 45 mph.
Here are the important points concerning Nate and our weekend weather:
- Nate is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to reach minimal hurricane strength just before landfall near the mouth of the Mississippi River late tomorrow night. From there, the circulation center moves through south Mississippi, and through north and central Alabama Sunday and Sunday night.
- The Global Forecast System and a number of tropical models suggest Nate will not reach hurricane strength, however, due to dry air, westerly shear and cooler sea surface temperatures near the coast. One way or another, the impact will be pretty much the same for the Gulf Coast region.
- A Storm Surge Watch is in effect for Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Alabama/Florida border, and for the northern and western shores of Lake Pontchartrain.
- A Hurricane Watch is in effect for Morgan City, Louisiana, to the Mississippi/Alabama border; metropolitan New Orleans; Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas; and Punta Herrero to Rio Lagartos, Mexico.
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the Mississippi/Alabama border to the Okaloosa/Walton County line, and west of Morgan City to Intracoastal City, Louisiana.
- Baldwin County officials have a voluntary evacuation recommendation for areas south of Alabama Highway 182 (Beach Boulevard) in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, and the Fort Morgan peninsula beginning this morning. Also, a voluntary evacuation recommendation has been issued for the Causeway (U.S. 90) in Spanish Fort.
- Wind and rain will increase on the Gulf Coast late tonight and through the day tomorrow. A storm surge of 1 to 3 feet is possible on the Alabama Gulf Coast and through the western part of the Florida Panhandle, and a few isolated tornadoes are possible as well tomorrow. Rain will be heavy at times, but it won't rain all day.
- Weather conditions will slowly improve on the coast by Sunday afternoon as Nate moves northward.
- Most of the rain for the northern half of Alabama will come Saturday night and Sunday; rain amounts should average 1 to 3 inches, with isolated heavier amounts of 4 to 5 inches possible. Major flooding problems are not expected, however, since Nate will be moving along at a pretty good clip.
- Pressure gradient winds of 20-40 mph are possible over much of Alabama tomorrow night and Sunday. Probably not high enough for major tree and power line damage, but a few trees could come down.
- The main tornado threat Sunday will be south of a line from Mobile to Montgomery to Opelika. For now, the tornado threat over north Alabama looks rather low.
- Winds will diminish Sunday night, but lingering showers are likely Monday.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: For the high school games tonight, the sky should be clear with temperatures falling from around 80 degrees at kickoff through the 70s during the game.
Auburn hosts Ole Miss Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium (11 a.m. kickoff). The sky will be partly sunny, with temperatures rising from near 78 degrees at kickoff into the low 80s by the final whistle. Only a small risk of a shower.
Alabama is on the road, taking on the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station, Texas, on Saturday (6:15 p.m. kickoff). The sky will be clear, with temperatures falling from near 88 degrees at kickoff to near 80 by the end of the game.
UAB's homecoming is Saturday; the Blazers take on Louisiana Tech at Legion Field (3 p.m. kickoff). For now we are forecasting a partly sunny sky with 83 degrees at kickoff, falling to near 80 by the fourth quarter. The chance of a shower for now is small.
NEXT WEEK: We expect occasional showers Monday and only widely scattered showers Tuesday. Cooler, drier air arrives Wednesday through Friday with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s.

"I used to be a 'do-er.' Now I'm a 'half do-er.'"
These are the words Kris Gjerde, a PDF Advocate from St. Paul, MN, used to explain why she voted for apathy in the Third PDF Community Choice Research Awards survey. She wants solutions so she can keep doing the things she loves.
Since the survey launched earlier this month, she and more than 500 people with Parkinson's and care partners have voted for their research priorities, ranging from sleep issues and anxiety, to gait difficulties and dyskinesia.
Why is Kris' feedback — and yours — so important?
The PDF Community Choice Research Awards are the first grant awards in the Parkinson's community to set research priorities based on the insights of those living with the disease. Through past Community Choice Research Awards surveys, you have helped us to identify several unmet needs in the community, such as fatigue and dystonia. In turn, we have funded $600,000 in research to understand and solve those aspects of Parkinson's.
What we fund next is up to you.
Interested in Kris' story? Watch her video here. Below, browse photos from other voters who shared their priorities. Remember, voting is open until Tuesday, November 1 here.

FBI Director James Comey said Sunday that the bureau won't change the conclusion it made in July after it examined newly revealed emails related to the Hillary Clinton probe.
"Based on our review, we have not changed our conclusions that we expressed in July with respect to Secretary Clinton," Comey wrote in a letter to 16 members of Congress.
The investigative team had "been working around the clock to process and review" emails found on former New York congressman Anthony Weiner's laptop — using a program that targeted only the
emails to and from Clinton's closest aide, Huma Abedin, within the time when Clinton was secretary of state.
In a statement, a Justice Department spokesman said, "The Department of Justice and the FBI
dedicated all necessary resources
to conduct this review expeditiously."
The news comes after the FBI
announced it would review a new batch of emails that appeared to be "pertinent" to the investigation
that was suspended in July, which had looked into Clinton's use of a private server.

text: ok, im going to try and explain the process i use, it may be messy and i am assuming you can already use a hex editor. This will not be a tutorial, i will just explain what i do, you will have to read on how do use each program (sorry but im sick and busy atm) I make these for a PAL wii, if you have an NTSC wii, you might need to try using a different base rom (such as DKC2 NTSC, you can always replace the banner file 00000000.app from the rom i use so you get the blank channel preview) Tools I use : 1 - hex editor (ultra edit) 2 - Your 'HOST' channel, I use Donkey.Kong.Country.2.Diddys.Kong.Quest.VC.PAL.REPACK.Wii-BlaZe, if you have an NTSC wii you may be better off using the NTSC version. 3 - Wadtool 4 - bfgr_wadtools_v038c 5 - vc_n64_rom_injector_1.1 6 - bannertool 7 - wadpacker-VERSION_0[1].00007 8 - HashCalc 9 - NSRT Frontend Version 1.0 (For use with NSRT 3.3 Final SNES TOOL) 10 - CMDhere powertoy for window XP (This always you to open a command line simply be right clicking on the folder) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting your wad files extracted : 1 - Extract the .tik and .tmd file from the Chrono.Trigger.SNES.PAL.CTCT using bfgr_wadtools_v038c (as i can work out how to 'find common-key" that all the files i can extract 2 - Use Wadtool to extract the .APP file, it creates .DES files, just rename them to 00000000.app, 00000001.app and so on. 3 - Prepare the rom (SNES rom in this case) by removing header with NSRT Frontend Version 1.0 (For use with NSRT 3.3 Final SNES TOOL) and by using hex editor to pad file to 4194304bytes 4 - Use vc_n64_rom_injector_1.1 to inject the rom into 00000005.app file a) Put the tmd file, the 00000005.app file, and the snes rom into vc_n64_rom_injector_1.1 folder b) Rename snesrom.smc to rom.z64 (this is just for ease of use with the program) c) As its designed for n64 insertion you need to enter the correct offset and rom size manually d) --> type 788480 as ROM OFFSET and 4194304 as ROM SIZE e) Click ROM INJECTION f) Open the patched 00000005.app file in HASHCALC and copy the SHA1 value from HASHCALC into vc_n64_rom_injector_1.1 where it says "manueller fix" SHA1, check the box and click SHA1 hash fixen. This corrects the SHA1 hash for the 00000005.app file in the .TMD file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changing ID and channel name for seperate channel install : 1 - Open .tik file in hex editor and goto offset 0x0001e0 where you will see four letters, change these to something else, like FFOP and save 2 - Open .tmd file in hex editor and goto offset 0x000190 where you will see four letters, change these to the same as well, and save. 3 - Open the 00000000.app file using bannertool and type the name you want (this is what will be displayed in wii channel preview) 4 - Since we've altered the 00000000.app file, we need to correct the SHA1 hash in the .tmd file the that. 5 - Open 00000000.app file in hasshcalc to get SHA1 hash value. Open .tmd file in hex editor and goto offset 0x0001f4 where you need to enter the new value, save -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creating the wad file : 1 - Copy all the app files as well as the title.tmd, title.tik files to the wadpacker-VERSION_0[1].00007 folder a) you should also have the in the folder the common-key.bin file, a title.cert file and 2 .dll files. 2 - Right click on the wadpacker-VERSION_0[1].00007 folder and start cmdhere on the folder 3 - Run wadpacker (i called my exe file wad7, so i just type wad7 to run it) 4 - Put the created wad file on your wii -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, it may not be the easiest way to do things but it works for me, hope it helps. NOTE: The hex offset values i used are for the files in Donkey.Kong.Country.2.Diddys.Kong.Quest.VC.PAL.REPACK.Wii-BlaZe, if you use a different base channel the values may change. The NTSC DKC2 should have the same offsets

An international symposium on Hansen's disease—also called leprosy—was held at the Vatican in June and attracted some 250 participants from 45 countries. Medical practitioners, recovered patients, and religious leaders discussed the efforts needed to end discrimination and announced their recommendations on ways to restore the dignity of people affected by the disease.
On June 9–10, 2016, the Vatican hosted its first-ever international symposium on Hansen's disease. The conference was held as part of the Catholic Church's jubilee events for the ill and disabled during the Holy Year of Mercy, which began in December 2015 and will continue through November 2016. The symposium, titled "Towards Holistic Care for People with Hansen's Disease: Respectful of Their Dignity," was organized by the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers and the Nippon Foundation.
The symposium's Conclusions and Recommendations summarizing the comments and discussions during the meeting note that "grave forms of discrimination" continue to exist in society and that the human rights of people affected by Hansen's disease and their families are not being upheld. The document calls on governments and social and religious institutions to ensure that the Principles and Guidelines for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons Affected by Leprosy and their Family Members—adopted in 2010 by the United Nations Human Rights Council—become operational at a practical level, noting that the "repeal of discriminatory laws is very urgent and can no longer be postponed."
The Conclusions and Recommendations also invite religious leaders and their communities "to transmit respect for people with leprosy" and ensure that such efforts are based on the opinions of the affected persons themselves.
The active involvement of religious communities, including the Catholic Church, would help eliminate the lingering stigmas, which are "often associated with a religious vision of life." Recommendations were also made for a new language when speaking about Hansen's disease, as discrimination and old perceptions continue to be reinforced by such "offensive" terms as leper.
The Conclusions and Recommendations are expected to become the guidelines for action for Catholics worldwide—especially in Africa and South America, which have sizable Catholic populations—on the issue of eradicating discrimination against people with Hansen's disease.
Nippon Foundation Chairman Sasakawa delivering the opening remarks.
The symposium's opening remarks were delivered by Nippon Foundation Chairman Sasakawa Yōhei, who is also the World Health Organization's goodwill ambassador for leprosy elimination. "Hansen's disease can now be cured with proper treatment, but there are still some people who mistakenly believe that it is God's punishment," he commented in calling for a fuller understanding of the ailment.
Erwin Cooreman, team leader of the WHO's Global Leprosy Program, reported that as multidrug therapy became the standard form of treatment, the number of leprosy patients declined dramatically, falling by 90% in just 15 years between 1985 and 2000. This helped to achieve the WHO goal of eliminating the disease as a public health problem—defined as reducing the number of leprosy cases to less than 1 per 10,000 population. Elimination strategies have now shifted from national-level programs to the regional and community levels.
Yokota Yōzō, president of the Center for Human Rights Education and Training in Japan, who authored the 2005 report on leprosy-related human rights issues by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, cited specific examples of discrimination against patients and their families, saying that "especially grave . . . violations of the rights of people affected by leprosy [were] in the field of instruction, work, and marriage."
Also making presentations were recovered Hansen's disease patients, who recounted the discrimination and prejudice to which they were subjected.
Valdenora de Cruz Rodriguez, who now helps recovered patients return to their communities and regain their rights in Brazil, developed symptoms at age 8 and was sent to a hospital in a remote colony when she was 9. She was refused a ride on the steamship to the colony, though, and was placed on a small boat attached to the ship. She left the hospital and returned home when she was 16 but became the target of ungrounded castigation, forcing her to move back to the colony. The anguish she experienced at the time became the driving force for her subsequent social activities.
Recovered patients (top to bottom) from India, South Korea, and the Philippines make presentations at the symposium.
After recovering, Yuan Yafua of China initially became a care worker and then a maker of prosthetic legs. He joined a nongovernmental organization in Guangzhou that supports Hansen's disease patients and now travels to various parts of the country to make legs for those who have lost their limbs. His inspiring report was met with warm applause.
The speaker from Japan was Ishida Masao, vice-chairman of the residents' organization at the National Sanatorium Nagashima Aiseien in Okayama Prefecture. He became infected when he was 10 years old and moved to the sanatorium, where he has lived for the past 70 years. He talked about this life there, including the years immediately following World War II when the discovery of the drug promin kindled a desire to once again "live like human beings," leading to hunger strikes, sit-ins, and other organized protests by patients calling for the abolition of Japan's forced isolation policy and the restoration of human rights.
Ishida Masao recounts his experiences at the Nagashima Aiseien sanatorium.
He also noted that many school students who study the history of the disease now have a more accurate understanding of the malady than adults, who continue to harbor prejudices. Ishida described the efforts now underway to register the 13 national sanatoriums and their cruel history of discrimination as World Heritage sites and to turn Nagashima into an "island of human rights."

This thing is better than I expected, I can answer a phone calls under the shower or just listen to the music:D, it is so funny. I enjoy it a lot, sound is clear and loud. I often take it to the beach, it is small enough to carry it in the backpack and sand proof - if you know what i mean.
I can recommend this speaker easily, and guys - check this price - just awesome!

text: eyond great. Beyond amazing. I conquer everything and reign as a master over every world. I can be compared to nothing and no-one and destroy everything in my path, not in a wilful act of destruction but for the mere reason that I and I alone am the one thing that can exist in my realm. I'm so good I should be feared but I appeal to every sense to such an extent that I can only be admired, then loved.

Trouble teaching Git? New tool to try!Wednesday, July 25, 2018
I discovered this interactive, online Git training tool: https://www.katacoda.com/courses/git and thought it might be of interest.

Adventox hasn't quite been open a year (at time of writing) but has already gained a reputation for solid games and a professional approach to the industry. You will find Adventox in a small shopping centre 1 minute walk from the Shepherd's Bush tube station. Just go up the escalators of the West 12 Centre and look right. You can't miss it.
If West 12 wasn't big enough for you then it's just a short walk from Westfield Shopping centre, London's largest indoor shopping venue. If you are having a family day out with younger children you should definitely consider visiting Kidzania. A fun couple of hours introducing kids to the world of work.
It doesn't matter if you arrive early because there is a spacious reception area. If you are really early you could pop next door and a cheap drink in the weatherspoons (just dont order food!). There are 2 games you can play both of which have double rooms so if you want to race another team this is the perfect venue.
We played both games and generally felt positive very positive about the experience. I enjoyed the somewhat theatrical briefings for both games, although not everyone agreed. Alcatraz was first. Initially this feels like 20 other split prison cell room games but after about 10 minutes it starts to distinguish itself from other more mediocre rooms. What I enjoyed most was the cohesive narrative that holds steady throughout the game. You actually cared about the ending. The other great thing about about the room is it's immersive quality; Alcatraz felt real. The puzzles for the most part were logical and appropriate for the experience but once or twice you thought "why did that happen?". There was not necessarily any wow factors here but It was an incredible solid experience that left me feeling entirely satisfied at the end. .
Mission X began with another theatrical style briefing (again I enjoyed it) before we entered the room. The room itself looked and felt a bit shoddy, it felt like the money had been invested in a couple of impressive wow factors towards the end. The puzzles were also quite strong, in fact I thought they were much better that Alcatraz despite this we all enjoyed Alcatraz more as a holistic game play experience.
If you haven't played this yet there is a really good value groupon still available.
If you fancy something tasty and healthy then try Roosters Piri Piri.

With permission I have set myself a challenge to try and reproduce the pattern and stitch this item. Not everyone may notice this piece as it is on a table rather than hanging on a wall and the protective glass reflects other items in the room. I would like to produce a similar design for a wall that would be easier seen with non reflective glass.
8th May 2017
My first day of my project in reproducing a needlepoint using Lady Edith's. I spent three hours. Make sure you look out for it when visiting, as it is in her sitting room on a card table and depicts the house, garden and some "ark characters".. three hours which I feel, having done so is as long as I could spend looking through a magnifier. I initially planned to make a colour chart but abandoned that idea fairly quickly as too many shades to try and replicate in small squares so it became a combination of colour and symbols. I used some printable graph paper which is set out in 16 square blocks. The original is approximately ten stitches per inch but I am planning 32 per inch. I will use 32 per inch Belfast linen as this will allow for the finer petit poin throughout the pattern as well as the gros point.
Difficulties noted:-
-poor lighting which is expected in a museum type environment in order to protect the items on display
-fading of threads over ?80+ years made it hard to differentiate between actual colour shades and deterioration by light.
-on close inspection some threads look two toned. This maybe due to a thread mix or again fading. I will improvise as it will be my 'take" on the design. I am an amateur not a professional in this work.
I plan to use silk stranded threads and have been liaising with the silk dealer. Electronic colours are far from accurate but the best I can manage as too expensive to try out all their 1400 samples!
The needlepoint is not completely square as the four corners are cut out to fit the table. I have been unable to find any pattern for this piece to know whether it was square and altered to fit or made to fit. From what I have seen and read Lady Edith certainly had the skills to draw the plan, chart and stitch it but did she have the time. Again I have no evidence, as yet, to say if this needlepoint was started and finished solely by Lady Edith Londonderry.
Initially I planned to complete the chart, then choose he threads prior to sewing but again I have changed my mind on that too. I will choose threads and chart and sew as I go so I don't get bored.

Since my coach Martin is in South Africa with Ernie & Anna at the moment, I had the opportunity to take some sneaky pics when I was training last night. Normally I don't take my phone into the gym (unless I'm desperate to take a pic of something unusual!!) because I kinda feel it's rude to – plus there's the added danger of dropping a weight on my phone. Few things irritate me more than someone who's glued to their phone at the gym.
Monday: speed squats
- Box squats with two red bands: worked up to 10 sets of 2 @ 40kg
There wasn't a cage free at the gym so I jerry-rigged up some bands on a free-standing squat rack. Here's how to do it:
I put two heavy dumbbells (I used 40kg ones) either side of the rack, and looped the bands round the dumbbell handles. The bands can then be securely looped round the bar. If you have round dumbbells as opposed to hexagonal, wedge the dumbbells between plates (or the foot of the stand + a plate) to stop them rolling around.
- Good mornings: 25kg x 5; 45kg, 2 sets of 5
I used a safety bar for these. Why is it called a safety bar?? (NB this is not the much-derided "tampon bar") It definitely never feels safe to me; in fact it feels fucking horrible on my neck. If this is a safety bar, I dread to think what the unsafety bar is like.
- Light tricep pushdowns: 10kg x 15; 15kg, 2 sets of 15
- Glute & ham raises: 6 sets of 10 with a 5kg plate
- Pullthroughs: 2 sets of 15
- Cable crunch: 3 sets of 10 @ 30kg
I took a cheeky gym selfie; I have hardly any pics of me just working out. I kinda like how my belt looks like an underbust corset.
Good lord I am so wide front-to-back at the moment. I caught a bit of a Twitter conversation yesterday in which some female powerlifters were discussing being in the smaller weight classes (47kg + 52kg) and how short they are. I'm going to be the shortest (5'2″) 84kg lifter ever.
Tuesday: barbell complex
Today I finally paid heed to my Outlook reminder and went to the gym on a Tuesday lunchtime (!!!) I didn't do very much, though, as I'm pretty tired from last night & I felt a bit shaky at the gym – don't think I ate enough this morning.
- Barbell complex (all with an empty 20kg bar): snatch-grip deadlift x 5; snatch-grip Romanian deadlift x 5; hang power snatch x 5; overhead squat x 5; behind-the-neck push press x 5. Three rounds with 1 minute rest in between.
- Situps: 2 sets of 20
- Sauna 🙂
I'm not very pleased with the barbell complex, TBH, It felt really hard, and I think I pressed out every single snatch. How important is it to not press out when you're doing a barbell complex, though? I guess not very, but I'm such an utter purist that it annoyed me. I hate seeing pressouts, just like I hate seeing hitched deadlifts etc. even if they're allowed in the sport (e.g. strongman). It's like an itch for me.
And now I'm back at my desk at work, eating tortilla chips 🙂

Smart Locks Market: Market Trends and Key Developments
Press Release • Aug 14, 2017 16:47 EDT
Global Smart Locks Market: Snapshot
Thanks to the growing demand for smart city infrastructure and the progress of the telephony hardware from 2G to 4G, as well as 5G devices, the global smart locks market has developed phenomenally over the last few years. Swift urbanization, increasing disposable income of consumers, modifying government norms for energy conservation, and the proliferating Internet and IoT across the world have also reflected impressively on this market.
The advancements in the wireless communication technologies and a booming smart homes market have the most prominent influence on the worldwide market for smart locks. With the growing usage of smart locks in the residential and the commercial segments and the rising demand for these locks in other sectors, such as the industrial and the government, the growth of this market is likely to be remarkably high over the next few years. Analysts anticipate this market to expand at an exponential CAGR of 18.30% between 2016 and 2024 and increase from US$226.7 mn in 2015 to US$1.01 bn by the end of 2024.
Obtain Report Details @
Commercial Sector to Remain Key Application Area of Smart Locks
Smart locks find a widespread application in the commercial, industrial, residential, and the government sectors. Among these, the demand for these locks is higher in the commercial sector and is anticipated to remain so in the years to come. The increasing crime rate across the world has boosted the uptake of these devices in the commercial sector and as the technology will advance, the rate of adoption will go up further.
Deadbolts and lever/knobs are the two main products available in the global market for smart locks. In 2015, the deadbolt segment dominated the market with a majority share, thanks to the low installation costs and high durability of these bolts. The trend is expected to continue like this over the forthcoming years.
This 167-page report gives readers a comprehensive overview of the Smart Locks Market. Browse to unlock the hidden opportunities in this market
Fueled Demand for Smart Locks in North America to Ensure its Lead
North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), Asia Pacific (APAC), and South America have been considered as the primary regional markets for smart locks across the world. North America, with a share of 33.6%, led the global market for smart locks in 2015. Thanks to the rising security concerns among people, the demand for these locks in North America is likely to remain high in the near future, safeguarding its leading position in the worldwide market. In this region, the U.S and Canada are anticipated to drive the growth of this market over the next few years on the grounds of the increasing trend of smart homes, presence of a large number of smart lock vendors, and the deeper penetration of internet based services.
Apart from this, Asia Pacific, with its fast-growing economies and the improving standard of living, is likely to emerge as another important and profitable regional market for smart locks for the players. The Asia Pacific market for smart locks has primarily been driven by China and India on account of the growing concerns over safety and security. The imminent infrastructure projects, such as the plans of the Indian government for developing smart cities, are expected to fuel the demand for smart locks from the commercial and the industrial sectors in this region in the years to come, boosting the growth of the smart locks market in Asia Pacific.
The leading manufacturers of smart locks across the world are Schlage, Honeywell International Inc., Panasonic Corp., Vivint Inc., Assa Abloy Group, Apigy Inc., August Home Inc., Samsung SDS Co. Ltd., Havenlock Inc., and Kwikset.

If You Can't Admit You're Wrong it Means You're Weak, and Stupid
If you can't admit you're wrong then you're weak, and stupid.
The problem with making a statement like that is that pretty much everyone falls into this category, to a greater or lesser degree.
But that degree is largely under one's own control. If you keep on eye on yourself you'll notice those times when you can't admit that you're wrong, even though you know you are.
And I'm here to tell you that it is at those times that you need to bite the bullet and fess up.
Because if you don't you are weak, and will become stupid.
In order to understand why we find it so hard to admit when we're wrong we need to know a few things about 'identity'.
In the shortest possible hand 'identity' means the way that you define yourself. People often look outside of themselves for things that seem important and they identify with those things. National identity is an obvious (and destructive) example of this. People identify with their country and so when their country seems threatened, even verbally, they feel that they are threatened.
Of course sometimes when a country is threatened its inhabitants really are threatened as well. But that usually isn't the case and the problem with identity is that people can identify with almost anything. It could be a political party, a racial or economic group, a sport's team or rock band, an ideology; almost anything really.
And one of the most obvious ways that this identification plays out is in contrast to other, competing, identities.
'Star Wars' vs 'Star Trek', Xbox vs Playstation, PC vs MAC, Israel vs Palestine, Boxxy vs Chloe and so on.
Now, one may ask what the problem with this is? Is there really something wrong with identifying with something 'larger' than oneself?
Well, not in isolation, but things never are in isolation, are they? Sooner or later someone is going to criticise the thing that you've identified with and that's when the problems start.
I mean think about it. Imagine that you have identified with a particular political party. You have made your perception of that party into a central component of your sense of self.
So when that party is criticised you feel that you are being criticised. And when that party is attacked you feel that you are under attack.
And you respond accordingly.
This is why arguments over the most meaningless shit (PC vs. MAC being my favorite example) can turn into vicious, cruel, relentless warfare. The supporters of each camp are incapable of accepting the weaknesses of their own position because doing so would mean losing a part of themselves.
They have identified with their group and when the group is threatened they feel that they are threatened.
The really silly thing is that often people don't even identify with the point of view they are defending. They identify with simply being 'right', and so anything that challenges this self-belief is attacked.
At times it can be quite amusing watching two people argue because you can see that after a while they don't even pretend to stay on topic. They simply wait for the other person to say something that can be contradicted, and then they interrupt them in order to get the contradiction in.
They do this even if the contradiction weakens the standpoint they are supposedly defending.
Of course many of these arguments are about important issues like abortion rights, progressive taxation, freedom of speech, the role of religion and so on. I'm not saying that the topics under discussion aren't important (I left out stopping immigration because, frankly, it's not important). I'm just saying that their relative importance has nothing to do with how furiously people defend them.
Which topic gets more heated debate: "justifications for the thousands of civilian deaths in Iraq", or "Arsenal vs. Manchester United?"
But even if we recognise the role that identity plays in this foolishness we have to wonder why people find it so difficult to get past these identifications.
The short answer is "ego".
The slightly longer answer is "people need to feed their egos in order to feel better about themselves".
Every human being needs to face the fact that they are ultimately powerless in an uncaring universe and that sooner or later they are going to die. Furthermore, we are raised to deal with the crisis this awareness provokes by pretending that we are more important, and more permanent, than we actually are.
And the easiest way to do that is by feeding our egos, either by identifying with the parts of ourselves that we think are superior to others or by identifying with things we feel are more significant than ourselves (like Steve Jobs' managerial style or Bill Gates' philanthropy).
People find it difficult to admit they are wrong about something because doing so would be a blow to their ego, and then they'd have no defenses against the realities of the human condition.
So the more fiercely a person sticks to their argumentative guns the more likely it is that they are really insecure beneath it all.
Thus, in a very real sense, the more difficult it is for someone to admit they are wrong the weaker their sense of self is.
So being stubborn in arguments is a sign of weakness.
And it can also be a sign of stupidity.
So let's move on to the main event shall we?

The Office of Fair Trading has announced it will examine the market for off-grid energy consumers following increasing public concern.
The study would look at whether the market was working for consumers who were not connected to the main gas grid and used energy sources such as heating oil, LPG and renewable sources like solar panels.
The OFT said it had brought forward the investigation following discussions with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to allow time to consider any recommendations before next winter and in light of increasing public concern about areas of the market.
The OFT wanted the study to cover the whole of the UK and look into how well competition was working for consumers and whether they were given clear information, competitive prices and fair terms and conditions.
It also planed to survey off-grid energy users around the UK.
OFT senior director of infrastructure Heather Clayton said two and a half million people relied on off-grid energy and it was vital the markets that supplied them functioned as well as they possibly could.
"We will be taking both competition and consumer issues into account through this comprehensive look at the market."
The OFT said it would work with other bodies such as Ofgem, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Assembly Government, the Northern Ireland Executive and Trading Standards.
It expected to conclude the study in autumn of this year.
The OFT had already announced it was monitoring prices of suppliers.
More than 1.5 million homes were dependent on oil and 150,000 needed deliveries of liquefied petroleum gas for their heating, cooking and hot water.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said many off-grid energy consumers had been hit hard by high prices and supply issues this winter and he was keen that the reasons for this were "thoroughly investigated".

SYMPOSIUM is a student-led club at Columbia and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting cross-cultural dialogues.
Symposium was founded in 2013 by two Columbia alumni who wanted to bring Core Curriculum style seminars to students in Asia with limited access to humanities education. Symposium's seminars were originally modeled after Literature Humanities, one of the central pillars of the Core Curriculum of Columbia University. The project aimed to cultivate critical thinking skills in an interactive seminar context.
In 2014, Symposium partnered with UCAME (Columbia University Committee on Asia and Middle East) to expand the scope of our global conversation. Our seminars are now focused primarily on a comparative mode of discussing texts in order to foster interculturation and global-minded sensibilities.
In 2015, we were officially recognized as a student club at Columbia under SGB and have been moving forward with this new platform.
Over the past couple of years, we have provided free opportunities for high school and college students all around the world to experience humanities-based seminars. Our programs have been carried out in New York City, China, Japan, Thailand, India and Singapore.

As we work to fulfill our mission to "enhance and sustain the economy, promote the community and serve as the leading voice and public policy advocate for business in the Greater Las Cruces region" we are actively supporting pro-business candidates in all upcoming elections.
In order to arrive at objective candidate endorsements based on pro-business and pro-jobs criteria, the Greater Las Cruces Chamber's Evaluation Committee conducted written and oral interviews with incumbents and challengers. The Candidate Evaluation Committee is a balanced panel of local business leaders with a keen sense of awareness of business, community and political issues. The Candidate Evaluation Committee then presented its recommendations to the Chamber Board, also a balanced panel of politically aware business leaders, who then decided on endorsements.
To have a healthy, growing community and a prospering economy that generates jobs as well as additional taxes for a vibrant quality of life, it is essential that local government adopt a pro-business culture that promotes the growth of business and expedites its development. The Greater Las Cruces Chamber will be the tip of the spear in representing the change that our community demands from local governmental bodies to create opportunity for every citizen.
The Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce endorsements for the 2015 Las Cruces City Council race are:

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of going on a training course at The Newborn Photography Show in Coventry. This course I went on was with a very well know man in the photography world call Gary Hill. He teaches and trains photographers in the art of newborn and child portraiture. The training session I went on was about lightening for children and how to get the best out of them. For 5 hours we learnt different techniques and got to photograph two amazing child models. Not only were they brilliant to photograph but their patience was pretty fantastic too. I love photographing people from Newborns, Children, Families and not forgetting weddings, but I love capturing that moment in a child where they just look at you, and you can freeze time. You only need that one image to look at and go WOW, and then say thats my son or daughter.
Taking away from the course I have found a new passion and some ideas to use moving forward. For now these are my images taken in the course. A big Thank you to Gary...

a very belated 'bonjour' from paris! i am writing to you from my bedroom in the apartment where we are staying, just down a small rue from the eiffel tower. last night we took full advantage of our proximity and walked down the street at 10:59 just in time to watch the sparkles at 11:00. i love how everyone cheers when it begins!
it's been a whirlwind trip already - i can't believe how fast this week has gone by. we leave for london on sunday morning, but it feels as though we only arrived yesterday. the food has been nothing short of spectacular - we even managed to cook a couple of times for dinner.
for example, last night myself, my dad, and my grandma all helped to prepare a meal for the 3 of us using mostly ingredients from the farmer's market on avenue president wilson. it was a really long market with stall upon stall of fresh everything, as well as great little gifts. i picked up a bread cutting board (with slats in and a crumb catcher), and a pair of espadrilles. every european lady needs a good pair of espadrilles in the summer :)
my grandma had seen a recipe for veal kidneys (controversial!!) that she wanted to cook so we had those for a starter along with some fresh arugula (roquette). it was my first time eating veal and/or something so visually unappealing as kidneys, but i savored them - mostly for my grandma's sake :) and my dad fell in love with this baby asparagus that looked more like a stalk of bright green wheat or barley. it was delicious, roasted with fingerling potatoes, red onion, and just a tiny bit of olive oil. along with that, we roasted some lamb with rosemary and garlic. the result was a meat-lovers paradise (apologies to my vegan/vegetarian readers and phil, and his parents) and i soaked up every last morsel with chunks of crusty baguette.
the dairy and egg eaters among us were treated to strawberry and raspberry tartlettes that i picked up from our favorite patisserie earlier that day. every day we stop by this sweet woman's shop for a baguette, a pain au chocolat for dad, and maybe come back later for dessert. i have been perfectly happy, however, having my usual breakfast of goat's yogurt (in little glass pots!!), muesli, and berries.
we're headed to a lovely little bistro for dinner tonight to celebrate my grandma's 80th birthday. apparently the obamas recently dined there (which we found out after we ate there on our first night, just by accident) - it is brilliant. if you're ever in paris and in the 7th arrondissement, go to la fontaine de mars (make a reservation though).
i'll give the full paris recap when i return to londres!

NYCC: Brave New World: Image Comics
The Image Comics panel at this year's New York Comic-Con was made up of Image creators old and new: Image Publisher Erik Larsen, Shadowline's Jim Valentino, Jay Faerber, Mark Sable and Claudio Sanchez and Joe Keatinge (Image's PR and Marketing Director). CBR News was on hand to bring you all the details.
Keatinge commented that Image Comics has finally been around long enough that its new generations of creators actually grew up reading Image. "We're in our 16th year," Larsen said. "Kids who grew up reading our books are now old to enough to start getting into the business. Robert Kirkman grew up on Image."
Larsen proudly boasted that Image was still one of the few companies that offered complete ownership to it creators. "Other publishers get their meathooks in your work and want to own a piece of it," Larsen said.
Faerber, for his part, actually broke into comics at Marvel and DC, but gradually found his way to Image. "I was living the dream for a few years," Faerber said. "But then I met the Image guys in Chicago and it flipped a switch." He said his transition to Image taught him to make comics, not just to write them. Faerber said working without the safety net of an editor leaves you with nobody to blame if the book is poorly received, but on the other hand, there's no one to hold you back.
"I've been spoiled by Image," Sable agreed, where creators get an unprecedented level of creative freedom and respect.
Keatinge moved on to the slide show of new and current Image titles. Dan Brereton's "Nocturnals" is due out this July. "Four Eyez" hits stands in September. Joe Kelly's "I Kill Giants" is coming down the pike, as is Phil Hester's "GOLLY!," which boasts to have more cursing than "Preacher."
Keatinge observed that in the early days of Image, their lineup consisted almost exclusively of superhero books. He asked the panel about the content shift. "I started out in small press," Valentino said. "I like stuff that's of the beaten track."
"Aletheia" is an upcoming Shadowline book, a tale about mythological gods and revenge told in a "Manga-type style."
"Pretty Baby Machine" by Kody Chamberlain tells the story of Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson and Machine Gun Kelly and their war with the notorious Al Capone.
"Vix!" by Rantz Hoseley is about a superpowered teen who endeavors to hide her powers from the world at large.
Valentino described book two of "Cemetery Blues" as a Hammer film if it were directed by Monty Python. "Cemetery Blues" is about a group of ghost hunters who spend most of their off hours in a pub.
"The Roberts" focuses on a confrontation between two retirement-home-bound men named Robert who happen to be the Boston Strangler and the Zodiac killer, respectively.
Valentino said Shadowline's upcoming "New World Order" "makes you paranoid even if you're not a conspiracy theorist."
The 8″ by 8″ "Dear Dracula" tells the story of a kid who worships Dracula and writes the legendary vampire a letter entreating advice for joining the ranks of the undead. But no one expected Dracula to actually show up at the door.
Image will be releasing a hardcover collection of Mark Evanier and Will Meugniot's "DNAgents."
Steve Niles will be penning a book called "Savage."
After 20 years, Ted McKeever will finally be finishing "Transit," and the earlier editions will be re-released as hardcover collections.
Keatinge revealed that two Image founders would be taking over "Spawn," but was sworn to secrecy about who those creators were. The moderator did go so far as to say that one of the creators hadn't done any work for Image for 10 years. It all begins with "Spawn" #185.

Celebrating Ewing Marion Kauffman
When The Kansas City Star profiled the 10 greatest departed heroes in the city's history earlier this year, it started – naturally – with Ewing Marion Kauffman. "Mr. K" launched Marion Laboratories in his basement and nurtured it into a global pharmaceutical giant, brought big-league baseball back to KC with his purchase of the expansion Royals, and promoted education and entrepreneurship through the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
On what would have been his 100th birthday, Library Director Crosby Kemper III discusses Kauffman's life and monumental legacy with three of the people who knew him best: civic and philanthropic leader Julia Irene Kauffman, his adoptive daughter; former Kauffman Foundation President and CEO Louis (Lou) W. Smith; and Royals Hall of Famer George Brett.
The event is co-sponsored by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and Truman Library Institute.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-195) transfer map output transfer with http instead of rpc
|Wed, 24 May 2006 17:48:30 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-195?page=comments#action_12413154 ] Sameer Paranjpye commented on HADOOP-195: ----------------------------------------- Some more implementation notes: 1) The ReduceTaskRunner queries for map output locations concurrently with the copies. Discovered outputs are pushed into a queue from which they are pulled by the copiers. 2) Added a new RPC method 'callRaw' which bypasses RPC's connection sharing mechanism. Requests are sent down a socket owned exclusively by the caller. The caller is free to do what he pleases with the connection once the request is complete. This implementation closes the connection immediately so that we don't get lots of idle threads in the tasktrackers. 3) Early runs showed some load imbalances in the copies with lots of reduces pounding a single tasktracker. I've tried to address this by a) ensuring that a reduce only copies 1 output from a given host at any time b) introducing a backoff if a copy from some host fails this seems to works fine for single node and small clusters because the number outputs is also small enough that a lot of parallelism isn't needed 4) Some tasktrackers were running out of memory when 100s of clients connected to them at once. This happened because not enough memory was available to create the threads needed to handle the concurrent connections. This caused tasktrackers to go into a bad state and not service any more client requests while still sending heartbeats to the jobtracker. Tasktrackers now handle OutOfMemory errors gracefully. Of course, this condition no longer manifested once the load balancing code mentioned in 3) was introduced. > transfer map output transfer with http instead of rpc > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-195 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-195 > Project: Hadoop > Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Versions: 0.2 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.3 > Attachments: MapFileSimulator.java, data-transfer-chart.pdf, mapfilesimulator-big.txt, mapfilesimulator-sort2.txt, netstat.log, netstat.xls, parallel-copiers.txt > > The data transfer of the map output should be transfered via http instead rpc, because rpc is very slow for this application and the timeout behavior is suboptimal.

(KMOV) -- A man is dead following a wrong-way crash in south St. Louis County.
It happened around 3:00 a.m. on Friday on Interstate 55 near the I-270.
Investigators say the man was driving north in the southbound lanes when he crashed into a tractor-trailer.
Several lanes were shut down.
The victim was a 20-year-old man from Arizona. His name has not yet been released.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was not hurt.
Investigators are not sure why the victim was driving the wrong-way.
