This post appeared originally in our sysadvent series and has been moved here following the discontinuation of the sysadvent microsite
I tend to dislike scattering my file-systems with non-packaged script modules, be it Python, Perl, or Ruby. So I wrap rpm packages for my systems. But packing is such a bother, you might say. That might be true, but luckily, we have good tools to help us.
gem2rpm, semi-automatic spec-file generator
To build this website, we used Jekyll, an excellent small ruby HTTP
server for static content. Jekyll is available as a standard Ruby gem,
but not as rpms for Fedora. In the following, I show how I built and
installed Jekyll via rpms only, on my Fedora system, using gem2rpm
- a
semi-automatic rpm spec-file generator for Ruby gems.
To build rpms from Ruby gems, we need the rubygems
and rubygem-gem2rpm
packages. For RHEL and clones, we may find gem2rpm
in the EPEL repositories.
sudo yum install rubygems rubygems-devel rubygem-gem2rpm
Set up the rpmbuild-tree
If we do not have it already, we install the rpmdevtools
collection, and set up the rpmbuild-tree
sudo yum install rpmdevtools
Fetch, generate, build
Note that in the following, we assume that there are no matching gems in ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES , so we can use simple name*.gem wildcards.
First fetch the gem source for Jekyll.
cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES
gem fetch jekyll
Generate the rpm spec-file. If we want, we might inspect the file before continuing. For more advanced usage, we could use ruby templates to control the result more. But for now, the defaults are good enough.
gem2rpm jekyll*.gem > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/jekyll.spec
Build the rpm package
rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/jekyll.spec
Script apps tend to require a lot of libraries or modules, so we need to check for missing dependencies. The following small script queries the packages just built for their rubygem requirements, then asks if they exist in the repositories, and shows those that are missing.
rpm -q --requires -p ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/rubygem-jekyll*.noarch.rpm |\
awk '/^rubygem\(/ {print $1}' | sort | uniq | while read p; do \
yum whatprovides "$p" > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $p;
So we need to build these packages as well. I incidentally know that I also need jekyll-paginate for this project, so we add that to the list.
Rinse and repeat
We build these the packages the same way. First download the gem with gem fetch. Then generate a spec-file with gem2rpm, before finally building the package with rpmbuild. So let us build a loop that do them all in one go:
for g in \
colorator \
mercenary rouge \
jekyll-sass-converter \
jekyll-watch \
do gem fetch "$g"
gem2rpm "$g"*.gem > ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/rubygem-$g.spec;
rpmbuild -bb ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/rubygem-$g.spec
This might take a few moments, so we drink a cup of our favourite advent hot brew while waiting. If all went well, we might finally install the packages. In this case, they are all architecture independent, so they are all found in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
sudo yum install \
rubygem-mercenary-*.rpm \
rubygem-colorator-*.rpm \
rubygem-rouge*.rpm \
Using this, I can test this sysadvent blog locally.
More than ruby gems
So far, so good with ruby gems. What about other scripting languages? Are there similar tools? Can we do similar tricks with them? Of course we can. For Perl CPAN modules, have a look at cpanspec. PHP pear has even built-in support for generating rpms from pear modules. Check out pear make-rpm-spec. Python packages can be wrapped as rpms using pyp2rpm. If everything else fails, we might go dirty, and use fpm. Or we might even build an rpm package from scratch, it is not that hard.
Easter egg in an advent blog
That is all. There are bonus point to anyone who found the LoTR reference.
Containerized Development Environment
Do you spend days or weeks setting up your development environment just the way you like it when you get a new computer? Is your home directory a mess of dotfiles and metadata that you're reluctant to clean up just in case they do something useful? Do you avoid trying new versions of software because of the effort to roll back software and settings if the new version doesn't work?

Hello friends,
I'm back with another post and today, we would be talking about how to prevent dryness after applying foundation. Foundation is one among the most used cosmetics as it helps to keep your skin flawless and radiant. Using foundation on face, especially during winter can leave your skin super dried and cracked. It may make your skin look extremely dried up and dehydrated. Well, if you are the one who often suffers from dryness after applying foundation, here are some tips to follow.
1. Use Mineral Powder
If you often see your skin getting dried after applying foundation, you should be applying mineral powder. Using mineral powder can help to set your makeup for a long time, and also helps to hide excessive dryness on the skin. You should pick up some of the best mineral powders in the market, in order to prevent dryness after applying foundation. Prevent over applying powder on the face. You can use Innisfree No Sebum Mineral Powder.
2. Use of Vaseline
One age-old home trick that can help to hide the patches and heal the dryness on the skin is by using Vaseline. Applying Vaseline on your skin lightly after applying foundation is an easy way to prevent dryness. Take a small amount of Vaseline and dab it lightly on the skin. Spread it in an upward direction. Applying Vaseline can also add natural shine on the face.
3. Mix your foundation with Hydrating Booster
If you think your skin will look dry after applying foundation, then you should be adding hydrating booster with the foundation beforehand. The hydrating booster can keep your skin glowing, and also prevent it from looking dried. It can make your skin look rich and moisturized. So, using hydrating booster is one among the precautions that can be done beforehand. You can use Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Clinical Concentrate Hydration Booster.
4. Use Some Face Oil
If none of the above remedies work, you can opt for using some face oil. Applying face oil after foundation can also make your skin look rich, supple and moisturized. Take 2-3 drops of face oil and dab on the skin using fingertips. Make sure you do not overdo, as it may leave your skin look excessively greasy and oily.
5. Opt for Hydrating Serum
Just like any other skin boosters, hydrating serum is one among those products which can help to keep your skin supple and hydrated. Take some serum and lightly dab on the skin. concentrate more on areas which tend to get dried soon. If you have dry skin, you should take few necessary precautions beforehand. You can use Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydrating Serum in order to prevent dryness after applying foundation.
6. Rose Water Spray
Rose water can help to keep your skin glowing, fresh and moisturized as well. In order to prevent your skin from getting dry, you should opt for applying some rose water on the face. Dab some rose water on the face after applying foundation and allow it to dry on its own. Do not spray too much rose water, as it can wash off the foundation from the face. You can use Khadi rose water at home.
7. Moisturiser
Last but not the least, if you are left with no option, then you should apply some lightweight moisturizer on the skin. Take some lightweight moisturizer and dab on the face. Concentrate more on the area where your skin tends to get dried more. This is an easy way to prevent dryness after applying foundation. Use Vaseline Intensive Care Aloe Soothe Spray Moisturiser.

Myanmar man charged in murder of British tourists says he was tortured by police
Bangkok: One of two Myanmar men accused of the gruesome murders of two British tourists on a Thai resort island has alleged he was tortured during police interrogation.
But Thai authorities have defended their handling of the investigation into the murders of Hannah Witheridge, 23, and David Miller, 24, on Koh Tao on September 15, saying there is strong evidence in the case.
Amnesty International has called for an independent investigation into the torture allegations and concerns the men may not get a fair trial.
"The Thai authorities must initiate an independent, effective and transparent investigation into mounting allegations of torture and other ill-treatment by police," said Richard Bennett, Amnesty International's Asia-Pacific program director.
The Bangkok Post quoted a representative of the Myanmar embassy in Bangkok as saying one of the accused said on Tuesday he was beaten and threatened with electrocution.
Aung Myo Thant, a lawyer appointed by the embassy, told the Democratic Voice of Burma, a Myanmar news service, there were inconsistencies in forensic and other evidence.
"It seems to us like this case is a set-up and not based on hard facts," he said.
Myanmar workers on the island had earlier claimed police investigating the murders had beaten and threatened to pour water over them.
Police deny the claims.
"Any investigation into these torture allegations should be carried out by an independent body and certainly not by the police itself," said Mr Bennett.
Thailand's national police chief Somyot Poompanmoung praised officials involved in the case, saying: "I insist that all officials in this case have done a good job ... a perfect job."
He said a Myanmar friend of the accused is being treated as an eye-witness to the crime and there were positive DNA matches between samples taken from the accused and the body of Ms Witheridge, who was raped.
Other evidence included closed circuit television footage, a mobile telephone belonging to Mr Miller being found in the living quarters of the accused and confessions to the crime, General Somyot said.
Amnesty and other rights activists have criticised police for making the accused take part in a public, televised re-enactment of the crime, which they claimed undermined their right to be presumed innocent.
"All suspects should be guaranteed their rights to a fair trial – which is of particular importance in a crime that could carry a death sentence," Mr Bennett said.
Thai police often make accused re-enact serious crimes.
The two accused men have been identified only as "Saw Rim" and "Win," both 21, who have been charged with murder following the compilation of a 850-page report recommending prosecution.
Thai tourism authorities believe the murders have hit the country's tourism industry that was already reeling from a coup in May and the imposition of martial law across the country.
Tourism accounts for 10 per cent of Thailand's gross domestic product.
Both Ms Witheridge and Mr Miller were bludgeoned to death with a gardening hoe and found on a beach after they had been seen together earlier in the night.
Prayuth Chan-ocha, Thailand's coup leader who has become prime minister, is expected to back the police investigation during a visit to Myanmar, which is also called Burma, on Thursday, his first official visit overseas since the coup.

Cross-domain variation in the X itself as a grammatical construction
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
The X itself is a nominal construction that has not received much attention within cognitive linguistics despite it having a quite interesting function, as it serves to select a core part in a partonomy and thus specify lexical relations within a text. Apart from being mentioned in passing in Croft & Cruse (2004), one of the few treatments of this construction in cognitive linguistics is Jensen (2014) who builds on the comments in Croft & Cruse (2004) and proposes a hypothesis pertaining to the cognitive and discursive function of the construction. However, that hypothesis does not take into account an important aspect of the reality of language--namely, variation. This article investigates, within the framework of usage-based construction grammar, the X itself in the Open American National Corpus (OANC) to see whether the construction displays variation across the nine domains that the data in OANC are divided into. Applying quantitative techniques, including lexical diversity measures and multidimensional scaling, this article explores aspects of the discursive behavior of the X itself across these domains and addresses the extent to which the construction interacts with the registers associated with the domains. Focusing on use-based varieties (McArthur 1992, see also Quirk 1989 and Halliday et al. 1964: 77), the present article argues that the X itself is not a constructional monolith, but that it is characterized by register-sensitive functional variation and that its core selection function very likely serves a information-structural discourse-pragmatic purpose.

China's Mysterious Silk Road - 15 Days
Visiting Xi'an, Lanzhou, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiayu Guan, Dunhuang, Turpan, Urumqi, Kashgar, & Tashkurga
Best time to visit: all year
The cities and beautiful landscapes of China's western expanse are often overlooked by travellers. A Silk Road Tour gives travellers the chance to see China in an off-the-beaten path way. On this Silk Road Tour the first stop is in Xi'an - the gateway to the West, starting point of the Silk Road, and home to the Terracotta Warriors. From there we head to Lanzhou, the ancient city of Wuwei, and Jiayuguan. Upon reaching the Silk Road's Dunhuang we'll explore its Buddhist caves and tour the desert by Camel. We'll then head over to the citiies of Turpan and Urumqi, then fly over the Taklamakan desert to Kashgar. This is where the largest bazaar of Central Asia is held every Sunday. We'll also get to visit Lake Karakuri at the base of Mt. Muztagh.
Whether you're looking to uncover the trading routes of the Silk Road, ride camels through the desert, or explore the less touristy areas of China, this is one of the best Silk Road Tour itineraries for anyone looking for some adventure and a truly unique experience.
(B=breakfast, L=lunch, D=dinner)
Day 1 - Arrival in Xi'an (B,L)
After your pick-up from the airport, your Silk Road journey will begin with a visit to the magnificent Qin Terracotta Army which was formed around 2500 years ago and which contains more than 6000 warriors, soldiers and horses. In 1987 it was listed by UNESCO as one of the world cultural heritages.
In the afternoon, we return to Xi'an city and visit the Forest of Stone Steles Museum.
Stay in 4 - star hotel in Xi'an
Day 2 - Xi'an - Lanzhou (B,L)
In the morning, visit Shanxi History Museum and the Old City Wall. The Shanxi History Museum's per manent exhibition primarily displays Shaanxi's ancient history. Representative pieces from all periods have been selected to show the development of civilization in this region. This afternoon we will visit Gao's Grand Courtyard, the Great Mosque and the old street. We'll take the evening flight from Xi'an to Lanzhou where we'll stay at a lovely 4 star hotel.
Stay in 4 - star hotel in Lanzhou
Day 3 - Lanzhou (B,L)
Today's highlights are Gansu Provincial Museum and an excursion to Bingling Temple Grottoes, 7 5km south west of Lanzhou. Listed as part of the ancient Silk Road for the World Heritage can didate, Bingling Temple Grottoes, filled with stupas, murals and Buddhist sculpture carved into natural caves, we re a work in progress between the 4th and 10th centuries. Taste traditional and local foods at the local market.
Stay in 4 star hotel in Lanzhou

Upon arrival, start hiking along the north part of Danxia Landform, enjoying the great view of Qilian S han and memorable sunset. China Rainbow Mountains are magnificent with gorgeous colors, which developed at about 200 million years ago. We will see lots of precipitous red cliffs, most of which are several hundred meters high, and multicolored ridges of weathered strata, sometimes stretching to the horizon. It is the best place for photography. After a great day we'll stay in a nice 4 - star Huachen International Hotel or similar.
Stay in 4 star Huachen International Hotel in Zhangye

Let me show you how I decorated my small front porch this Spring using a variety of rustic and vintage items and fresh Spring flowers.
Rustic Spring Front Porch
There's something so restorative about seeing the first hints of Spring bulbs peeking through the soil in March after a long New England winter (if this was a movie you would be hearing the narrator say "in fact, every winter is a long winter in New England…")
I know when it's time to decorate my small front porch for Spring when I can finally yank out the winter greens from the planters that have been out there since November!! Yes, this is a thing…the evergreen branches that I stuck in my planters have been frozen and are still alive and kicking!
Add a Table
Last Fall, I brought the potting table that I had in my cutting garden up onto my little front porch to use for my Fall display. Can you believe this table was a dumpster find??.. You can read all about how I upcycled this table here.
It allowed me to put together an interesting arrangement of all my favorite Fall goodies in a tidy little space. Everything looked so pretty until the loony squirrels and chipmunks started munching on everything that was on the floor…
So I thought I would incorporate the table for Spring until my garden is ready for me to move it back (it's still in the 30s at night so gardening is a ways off for me!!)
This post may include affiliate links; you can read my disclosure policy here.
Make a Simple Spring Wreath
Above the table, on the porch, I hung an old window frame that I've used in so many places over the years! Most recently it was hanging in my living room above a cabinet. What I love about this particular vintage window frame is that one side is chippy white paint and the other side is just rustic wood so it's so versatile!
The window frame is the perfect spot to hang a wreath. I've wanted to make a wreath like this since I saved a picture of a $138 wreath from Terrain.
First I went through my wreath stash and found this old winter wreath that I haven't used in years! It was in the "someday I'll fix it up and hang it again" pile.
After I removed the red pips and greenery it was time to get started to make this look Spring-y!
For this wreath, I am using a few dried strawflowers, Spanish moss, bunny tails, and some dried wax flower sprigs. The moss also disguised the fake glitter snow that was on the original wreath.
All I did was to first hot glue clumps of the Spanish moss to the wreath (I get the moss at the Dollar Tree), then hot glue sets of 3 strawflower heads to the wreath and add a few of the bunny tails around the strawflowers.
To finish it off I popped a few small sprigs of dried wax flowers, they dry similar to baby's breath flowers.
Buying Spring Flowers for the Porch
Now my favorite part, adding fresh Spring flowers to the porch!
On a cold February night, I opened an email from White Flower Farm and it had a photo of the prettiest basket of flowering daffodils! I had to have it!! Full disclosure I also had to have 1/2 their dahlia inventory and a houseplant that I had been looking for since last Summer!!!
They did a fantastic job of packing it! Some of the daffodils were starting to sprout too.
I took a ride over to my local nursery to pick up violas and pansies for the front porch…and maybe a few houseplants…I know, I know, I have an addiction!!
What are some good flowers to use on a front porch in springtime?
Here are a list of Spring flowers that are perfect for Springtime color on your porch:
- Pots of Tulips
- Pots of Daffodils
- Pansies
- Violas
- Hyacinth
- Ranunculus
- Anemones
We were having such cold weather up here that I had to put off decorating the porch for a couple of weeks because the temps were going down into the teens at night and even though pansies are hardy I thought that might be pushing it a little bit!
Pot Up the Flowers
When I am decorating my porch I like to come up with interesting containers to use for my flowers.
One of my favorite things is to hit flea markets, antique stores, and thrift stores to find cool things to use around my home and garden.
Over the years I've put together a pretty good collection and reuse the pieces in different ways throughout the year.
You can check out some of my thrifting excursions and finds:
This white bunny planter was a Christmas Tree Shops find I (I think??) It's roomy enough to fit a tall plastic pot with a couple of pansy plants.
Another planter I put together was in this old metal basket. To disguise the plastic planter I stuck inside I wrapped angel vine garland around the inside of the basket first. Then I planted a few different color violas in the pot.
For a little extra touch, I used a Dollar Tree wooden bunny ornament that was leftover from my Dollar Tree Bunny & Egg Wreath.
A quick coat of Waverly antique wax(brushed it on with a sponge tip brush) and a little white chalk paint around the edges (paint it on and wipe most of it off) gave the bunny an aged appearance. Then I tied it onto the metal basket with jute twine.
Putting Everything Together on the Front Porch
Now the fun part!! Pulling everything together on my small porch to make it look like Spring.
The daffodils have all started filling in the basket since I got the package a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, I had to add a couple of little touches to it by crisscrossing 3 pieces of grapevine pulled from a grapevine garland and a few short pieces of pussy willow stems.
I've said it a bunch of times if you are a regular reader but having a grapevine garland is a must-have in my decorating toolbox and I use it in so many decorating projects in different ways!
To hang up the wreath I added a length of jute twine to the top and hung it on the window frame.
Besides the daffodil basket, I added the ceramic bunny and a metal birdcage with a vintage cement bird figurine.
For the bird's "nest" I used a clump of Spanish moss and added a couple of pieces of grapevine along with quail eggs and a guinea pheasant feather. The quail eggs and feathers are sprinkled throughout my Spring home and I used a few on this wreath.
Near the back of the table, I found a spot to put a set of galvanized pots in a wire basket. Inside each pot, I popped in one pansy plant from a flat of 6, then added a bit of Spanish moss to cover the dirt.
It's those small touches like adding grapevine or moss to your planters that will take your decorating to the next level.
Beneath the Table
The space under the table was perfect for setting up another Spring vignette. First I flipped over a rustic farm crate as a base. In the back, I stacked up a couple of round vintage metal baskets and an old covered metal jug. In the front, I used the pansy planter that I had just put together.
When you are working with a smaller space it's important to be resourceful and take advantage of all your nooks and crannies!
The only new piece I added was a white ceramic jug that I got from Magnolia (it's on sale plus there was an extra 20% off all the sale merch last month!!). It's the perfect spot for a few fresh pussy willow branches.
On the other side of the front door
On the smaller side of my porch, I tucked in one of my favorite all-time thrift store finds…this $2 chair!! It's the perfect spot for my Walmart bunny (check for it in your garden dept. here's the link but not available online)
I wanted to hang up a little something on the wall but not a sign. Then I remembered this sweet chicken wire hanging basket…added a few more of the dried strawflowers and dried wax flowers and tied jute twine around it and called it a day!
Now that the porch is all set for Spring can someone please send some warm days my way!!! I need to go inside by the fireplace for a little while to warm up!!

Self-defense is a serious matter, and if you carry your gun for personal protection it's an absolute must to do it right. Once you have the golden rules down – 1) Treat every firearm as if it's loaded, 2) Don't point your gun at anything you're not willing to destroy, 3) Keep your finger off the trigger until you're on target, and 4) Know your backstop and what is beyond it, take the time to become a capable marksman. Basic marksmanship is a must if you're going to carry your gun for protection, and so is loading your gun with the right ammunition. Defense rounds both expand to create a more effective, crippling wound, and also decelerate on impact to prevent over-penetration.
These defense rounds are made by Speer, a company that's been in business for about 70 years. They were founded in 1944 by Vernon Speer, a man known for his innovation and creativity from an early age. Vernon Speer served in the U.S. Navy during World War I, and during that time he invented a brand new airplane engine. Of course, once it was built he needed to prove it worked, so he simply installed it in a biplane and went for a flight. The engine worked, and Vernon embarked on what was to become an extraordinary career. Speer is known for exceptional quality and consistent performance, and all thanks to its founder, Vernon Speer.
These Speer rounds are made for your .40 S&W. They're heavyweight rounds at 180 grain, so they're going to deliver substantial knockdown power while still remaining light enough to reach out and touch your target at impressive speeds. These are JHP – Jacketed Hollow Point – rounds. JHPs deliver rapid energy transfer and controlled expansion on impact, penetrating more deeply than standard HPs to create a deeper, devastating wound track. Each of these rounds has a muzzle velocity of 950 feet per second and muzzle energy of 361 foot-pounds. These are top-tier self-defense rounds. There are 20 rounds in this box, which is just enough to keep your gun loaded and ready. Place your order today to ensure you're fully prepared for the worst-case scenario.

It's not unusual for nervous parents to count a newborn's fingers and toes to make sure their child is normal. But what is normal? What happens when there aren't ten fingers and ten toes?
Is every life precious, or is it only when everything is "normal"?
Kenny Sanford tackles that question in "Why Are You Crying, Daddy?", the story of Kenny and Jane Sanford's son, Todd, who was born with hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
Despite daunting physical challenges, young Todd carves out a unique love-space within his family and community. His winsome personality and keen interests — from monitoring the weather, to studying and meeting politicians, to enjoying family vacations at the beach — endear him to all who meet him. Todd's life makes a difference in the world.
By publishing Todd's story, Sanford hopes to demonstrate the value of all life, even life that someone else might not count as valuable. "In our family, what some would count as a tragedy, we've been able to see as a blessing," he writes. "I offer these stories as a testimony to how God has blessed and sustained our family and gives value to all life. It is my hope that these stories will also mean something to others."
Sanford grew up in rural South Carolina with a mentally challenged brother, and he learned early in life about some of the difficulties special-needs families experience. When he and his wife became parents of a special-needs child, they were able to draw strength from those experiences, he said.
The Sanfords appreciate opportunities to volunteer for humanitarian organizations that proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ. They are active members of Two Mile Swamp Baptist Church in Cope, S.C.
"Why Are You Crying, Daddy: A Story of Love, Laughter and the Sanctity of Human Life" can be purchased directly from the author at email@example.com or at online booksellers including BarnesandNoble.com and Amazon.com. Sanford is available to speak for churches and other groups.

Ohio to have autonomous trucks platooning this year.
Ohio is continuing down its path as a frontrunner in autonomous trucking. This spring, motorists will see Peloton Technology roll out an evolving vehicle technology known as 'platooning' on the Ohio Turnpike.
Platooning involves creating pairs of semi-autonomous commercial trucks. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication allows the vehicles to travel close together, which reduces fuel burn and cuts wind resistance. The trucks communicate on braking and speed. The trucks will travel 50 feet behind one another, are equipped with forward collision avoidance systems and have a driver in each cab to steer.
The Ohio Turnpike is ideally suited for autonomous trucking technology because it is flat and straight. It has previously been used to test out autonomous vehicles.
Geoff Johnson, external affairs strategist for Peloton, stated the technology would only be used in appropriate traffic, weather and road conditions on multi-lane, divided, limited-access highways.
"We are interested in developing multi-state platooning activities with fleet customers, whose routes are often multi-state, and with state officials. We are also working with fleet customers whose use regional haul operations with routes that stay within given states," Johnson said.
Platooning is nothing new. It's been done for more than seventy years. The advent
of the CB Radio made platooning a whole lot safer, at least for the truck driver.
Car drivers didn't feel safe with trucks platooning so the governments made
platooning illegal because it was "unsafe". It wasn't but perception is reality.
Now technology can take the human element out of vehicle to vehicle
communication and it becomes safe. What's changed? Follow the money.

In brief
Integrating shared mobility into one platform in Finland
Mobility-as-a-service has been part of the Finnish transport ministry's strategy since 2011. The key is to integrate all shared and public transport into one linked network that offers easy payment options through digital platforms.
Planning for the future
Traditionally, the business of OEMs was measured by car sales, whereas in the future, it will be measured by miles driven. This reflects the wider transformation of the mobility and automotive space.

Used Cookbook Store + Cook's Library In Pasadena + Owner Janet Jarvits
One woman and her 30,000 used cookbooks
When the Cook's Library closed last April, the food community lost one of its most treasured sources for cookbooks. Thankfully there's still Cook Books by Janet Jarvits, a dusty haven with more than 30,000 used, rare and hard-to-find titles.
Jarvits opened her first shop in Burbank in 1995 after acquiring thousands of cookbooks from the personal library of Helen Evans Brown, the author of The West Coast Cookbook. Jarvits relocated the store to Pasadena in 2001 and has been peddling used cookbooks there to nostalgic homemakers ever since.
Shelves are stacked floor-to-ceiling with everything from a first-edition Betty Crocker's Picture Book to eccentric titles like How to Cook and Serve Human. But it's classics like the Settlement Cookbook (a 1901 charity cookbook from a Jewish homemaker) and the original Fanny Farmer's Original Boston Cooking-School Cookbook that keep fans coming back. Jarvits finds that everyone from home cooks to professional chefs and collectors are simply drawn to the nostalgia. "Foodies look at the world through food-colored glasses," she says. "These books feed a basic need for them."
There's something to be said for searching the stacks firsthand, but Jarvits is all about modernity, too: Everything is available for purchase via the website.

By Farhad Naibkhel-KABUL: NATO's Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan on Monday said that neither the capital city of Kunduz nor Helmand province would fall to the Taliban insurgents as the United States and its allies was backing Afghan security forces in these two volatile provinces.
Recently, the militants have launched a series of attacks to capture strategic districts and provinces. Intense fighting is under between the insurgents and Afghan security forces in Helmand and Kunduz provinces. The Taliban seemed to be in dominant position in these provinces as the militant group still controls over 80 percent of the two provinces.
Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications of the Resolute Support Mission, Brig. Gen. Charles Cleveland, claimed that neither Lashkargah nor Kunduz City will fall to the insurgent group as the militant group has failed to achieve strategic goals till date.
According to reports the Taliban are 10 kilometers far from Lashkargah, the capital city of Helmand. The militants have seized control of Nad Ali and Garmsir districts in the recent past. However, the security forces have retaken control of the districts. In Kunduz province, the Taliban captured Khanabad district for a brief period.
Brig. Gen. Charles Cleveland told news reporters that the Afghan security forces are making steady progress in the two provinces.
He acknowledged that the insurgent group had tactical gains that would likely to continue. The Resolute Support Mission defines the tactical achievements of the Taliban as overrunning check-posts and centers of some districts.
"Afghan security forces are doing better this year than the last year because the insurgents have not achieved their strategic goals—to seize a population center or strategic areas in Afghanistan," he said.
Accusing the militant organization of plundering the captured areas and stealing equipment of the Afghan security forces, Brig. Gen. Charles said the Taliban are pushed back when reinforcement arrives in the areas captured by the insurgents.
Afghan government is focused on protecting populated areas, he said, claiming that the unity government controls all population centers.
He warned of growing violence in Helmand and Kunduz provinces as the Taliban are trying to capture Lashkargah and strategic areas in Kunduz. "Afghan security forces are on the right track and they will be able to defend both Lashkargah and Kunduz," Brig. Gen. Charles expressed confidence.
The NATO's statement came at such a time when Chief of al-Qaeda Ayman al-Zawahiri asked his loyalists in a video message to support the Taliban while rejecting Daesh, known as the Islamic State in the west.
In the video released on Sunday, the al-Qaeda chief said that Daesh is harming their cause by "splitting the ranks of mujahideen [militants]". He asked the al-Qaeda members and sympathizers to support the Afghan Taliban.

While many avail themselves of the numerous online options to fill spots in their summer share, this individual went decidedly old school. A Manhattan-based tipster sent us this shot of a flyer he recently came across in Nolita. Here's the text (it's a little blurry in the photo):
Live In The West Village, mid 20s-30s, and interested in joining a Hamptons Share?
UPSCALE house, IN the village, on Hill Street, with Pool, BBQ, etc!
Contact us for pics/info about our upcoming happy hour!
Looking at the pictures (a little digging turns up an online listing?it's the second item), we're curious to know if the homeowner is aware of what their summer tenant has planned for the house.

What is the purpose of this post here? If you don't like the plugin, don't use it. @5axes has no obligations to you.
Most spreadsheets I used present me with a dialog that lets me select the separator when I import a CSV file. And by "most", I mean all that I can remember using.
The link to the rant you posted has no relation to this issue or this forum, so to me it only comes across as link-spam.

Following is the speech delivered by the Financial Secretary, Mr John C Tsang, at the public announcement and reception of the Fukuoka Prize 2014 at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre this afternoon (July 23):
Danny, distinguished guests, Your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen:
Good afternoon to you all.
I am indeed delighted to join you all at the public announcement and reception of the Fukuoka Prize 2014.
This year marks an important milestone for the Fukuoka Prize. It is indeed the 25th anniversary of the award. Let me, first of all, congratulate the Fukuoka Prize Committee as well as Mr Danny Yung on this very special occasion.
The Fukuoka Prize was established in 1990 with a singular purpose, that is, to honour people, to honour groups and organisations making significant contributions to preserving and creating the unique and diverse cultural heritage of Asia.
What makes this year even more special for us is the selection of Mr Danny Yung - a home-grown artist - as the Arts and Culture Prize laureate for the Fukuoka Prize 2014.
Danny is one of Hong Kong's well-known cultural figures. He is a founding member as well as co-artistic director of Zuni Icosahedron, one of Hong Kong's prominent theatre companies. Danny is a multi-talented artist who has dedicated himself to experimental arts, and he has created many productions in different media, from theatre to animation, film, video as well as visual and installation art. His work has won kudos as well as many admirers in Hong Kong and abroad.
In recent years, Danny has been involved in the development and preservation of Asian performing arts. He initiated the Toki Project, which aims to preserve Asian artistic traditions, joining forces with renowned artists of Noh theatre, Kunqu opera, classical Thai dance, classical Balinese dance, as well as contemporary dance and drama. The project is designed to promote cultural development in our region through closer collaboration among artists.
Danny's latest installation "Tian Tian Xiang Shang Gateway" - a huge bamboo flower plaque merging Hong Kong's traditional crafts and contemporary creativity - was on show at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in the United States from late June to early July this year. And I really regret not having the opportunity of seeing that personally. But I have seen some really stunning photographs of that very special occasion, And no doubt, it gave American audiences a striking visual introduction to what Hong Kong is.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for Danny's contribution in facilitating discussions and independent studies on arts and culture, as well as for his valuable advice on the development of our creative industries, arts education and training of arts professionals.
Danny, we are grateful to you for all you have done for the enhancement as well as betterment of Hong Kong, and we are also grateful to the Fukuoka Prize Committee for according Danny and Hong Kong this very special recognition and honour.
Thank you very much.
Ends/Wednesday, July 23, 2014
