Reeling in Our Focus
There are so many distractions. Sometimes, in our hectic lives, we have competing priorities, which can make focusing even harder. This past week on What Women Want Talk Radio, Judy Goss and I had guests Christine Hassler and Nancy Ganzekaufer, who coached us on how to make our lives more reflective of our deeply held priorities. If you've been overwhelmed by your to-do list or suffering from a bad case of analysis paralysis, you'll find the candor of Christine and Nancy refreshing.

Laurel & Hardy are fondly remembered as comedy legends and a new biopic named Stan & Ollie will tell their story.
Back in the 1930's Laurel & Hardy changed cinema forever by introducing a new brand of slapstick comedy previously unseen on the big screen. They became Hollywood legends, starring in over 100 movies together between 1929 and 1951.
All was not what it seemed however as behind the scenes they fell out regularly and Oliver Hardy's health was often too poor to allow him to perform.
Tragic Comedy
Stan & Ollie will document their rise to fame as well as their eventual end.
Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, Philomena) plays Stan Laurel and John C Reilly (Chicago, Talladega Nights) plays Oliver Hardy.
To us this is brilliant casting. They both have a resemblance to the men they are portraying and they are both accomplished comedy actors who have succeeded in serious roles.
Stan & Ollie also stars Danny Huston (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, 21 Grams), Shirley Henderson (24 Hour Party People, Trainspotting) and Nina Arianda (Midnight In Paris, Win Win).
Look to the past
The first trailer shows the pair at their comedic best and looks laugh out loud funny in places but don't expect this to be a comedy riot. The rest of the trailer looks tense, dramatic and thoroughly tragic as the pair perform to dwindling live audiences and their relationship fractures.
You can view the first trailer below
No doubt this final movie will be every bit as dark as it is fun making this a must-see film when it's released. When the subject matter is two well-respected legends of the screen like Laurel & Hardy it's a wonder nobody has tackled this before. Finally, their story will be told and by two of the best in the business.
As soon as we can book tickets we will be on it like a flash.
Stan & Ollie will be released on the 11th January 2019.

Walter N. Levy '63
"The best that was in us,"
By Jacque E. Day.
On September 18, 1965, a young Marine officer named Philip Caputo picks up a buzzing EE-8 field telephone and begins taking a casualty report. He has been in-country for seven months, and the KIAs have escalated to the point that he is writing 75 to 80 reports a week, a task done with such regularity that he has become numb to it. This day will be different.
The lieutenant on the other end reads the first name, a corpsman who has suffered a gunshot through the head. Caputo records the details, and the lieutenant continues: "Second one's last name is Levy. Lima-Echo …" Caputo interrupts the lieutenant, as he retells in his 1976 memoir, A Rumor of War:
"Is his first name Walter?"
"Lima-Echo-Victor-Yankee. Levy."
"Bound One, is his first name Walter?" I asked, scrawling L-e-v-y beside the line headed NAME. My hand was shaking slightly and my voice sounded strange.
"One Alpha, wait one, will you? That's a roge. First name is Walter. Middle name Neville. November Echo Victor …"
"I can spell it."
Time seems to stop for the young Marine. He envisions his friend's "darkly handsome face and slow, easy grin." He breaks protocol, asks the lieutenant to "drop all this roger wilco crap. Just tell me how it happened." The explanation comes fast. First Lieutenant Walter Levy, wounded in an ambush while on patrol at Danang, had exposed himself to enemy fire to help another corpsman who had been hit by a sniper's bullet. Already wounded by mine shrapnel, he "forced himself up and half crawled, half walked" to his fellow Marine, whom he'd believed to be still alive. As he tried to pull the other man to safety, a sniper's bullet ended his life. Walter Levy was 23 years old, the first of Caputo's Basic School graduating class at Quantico to be cut down in action, the first Norwich University alumnus killed in Vietnam.
"I admired him."
For Caputo, this event marks the moment he began to take the war personally. "It was almost like I had a revenge motive at that point, for going on and fighting the war."
After the war, Caputo thought continually about his fallen friend. "And, I remember feeling this almost inexplicable emotion that I could never put my finger on. I could never quite name it." The rage that had gripped him during the war had ebbed into a kind of sadness, a sense of elegy. Walt Levy, he says, became a symbol of mourning for the loss of an idealistic generation. "An awful lot of dreams that we had for America and for ourselves were damaged or destroyed in Vietnam," he reflects.
Of the nature of their friendship, Caputo says with a chuckle that they weren't locker-room buddies. They were Quantico classmates. They spent time together in Washington, D.C., on weekend liberties, part of a group of guys who went into the city to "goof around." Caputo describes it as a little-brother-big-brother relationship. "I admired him. I admired his perseverance. He had a very cool, almost aristocratic manner about him. He seemed to project some kind of air of wisdom that I'd associate with somebody older."
To this day, Caputo says, he's not sure he could have put himself in the path of danger the way Levy did. "Running out and exposing himself to enemy fire to save a fellow Marine," Caputo says, "was very typical of him. …I always thought of him as symbolizing and representing, at least in my mind, the best that was in us Marines and in my whole generation."
Nearly 50 years later, Caputo still thinks often of Levy. "I think he's probably always in the back of my mind, in my subconscious." A few years ago, while attending a Quantico Basic School reunion, he and his classmates were visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, making rubbed impressions of the names of their fallen comrades. "There was a woman there. I think she was a docent or maybe she worked for the park service. When I was trying to find Walt's panel, she asked me something about him, and I told her something about him, and she said, 'I'll just bet he was a very handsome young man.' He actually was. He was a good-looking guy. And I just …I'm even doing it right now …I started to cry and I couldn't stop crying. And it came out of nowhere. And it still does."
An Elegy to Walter N. Levy '63
So much was lost with you, so much talent and intelligence and decency. You were the first from our [Basic School] class of 1964 to die. There were others, but you were the first and more: you embodied the best that was in us. You were a part of us, and a part of us died with you, the small part that was still young, that had not yet grown cynical, grown bitter and old with death. Your courage was an example to us, and whatever the rights or wrongs of the war, nothing can diminish the rightness of what you tried to do. Yours was the greater love. You died for the man you tried to save, and you died pro patria. It was not altogether sweet and fitting, your death, but I'm sure you died believing it was pro patria. You were faithful. Your country is not. As I write this, eleven years after your death, the country for which you died wishes to forget the war in which you died. Its very name is a curse. There are no monuments to its heroes, no statues in small-town squares and city parks, no plaques, nor public wreaths, nor memorials. For plaques and wreaths and memorials are reminders, and they would make it harder for your country to sink into the amnesia for which it longs. It wishes to forget and it has forgotten. But there are a few of us who do remember because of the small things that made us love you—your gestures, the words you spoke, and the way you looked. We loved you for what you were and what you stood for.
– Excerpted from A Rumor of War with permission from author Phil Caputo. Caputo attended Quantico Basic School with Walt Levy, who is named in the dedication of the book, published in 1976.

Revelation 5 International Standard Version (ISV)
The Vision of the Scroll with Seven Seals
5 Then I saw in the right hand of the one who sits on the throne a scroll written on the inside and on the outside, sealed with seven seals. 2 I also saw a powerful angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" 3 No one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth could open the scroll or look inside it. 4 I began to cry bitterly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.
5 "Stop crying," one of the elders told me. "Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. He can open the scroll and its seven seals."
The Vision of the Lamb Taking the Scroll
6 Then I saw a lamb standing in the middle of the throne, the four living creatures, and the elders. He looked[a] like he had been slaughtered. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne.
8 When the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders bowed down in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of the saints. 9 They sang a new song:
"You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals,
The Vision of the Song of the Lamb
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels, the living creatures, and the elders surrounding the throne. They numbered 10,000's times 10,000 and thousands times thousands. 12 They sang with a loud voice,
"Worthy is the lamb who was slaughtered
13 I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying,
"To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb
14 Then the four living creatures said, "Amen!", and the elders bowed down and worshipped.

One of my recent posts of a doodle done in desperation got some great coverage on social media.
I swear that's the time of the year when the gears start squeaking up in the mental gymnasium.... still some snow on the ground around the cabin as of this posting.
A recent episode of The Simpsons featured the work of one of my personal favorites in animation, Bill Plympton. The above screen grab illustrates his gestural style of drawing - even a snapshot in stasis seems to writhe alive - in conjunction with a palette of warm pastels using I assume is colored pencil. The original version that this Homeric homage refers to appeared back in 1987 - I recall seeing it first on a big screen as part of an annual animation festival that the film department at Syracuse University would host.
Now it seems The Simpsons are back in the spotlight for a couple reasons: the first being breaking the record for all-time longest running scripted TV sow (with 636 episodes). Also the recurring controversy regarding the nature of its sense of humor - specifically the stereotyping of one of it's many stereotyped characters, Apu.
"Comedy particularly needs to be defended against ideologues. Humor is the most resilient enemy of zealotry, which is why so many fanatics have tried to ban or police it, from the original Puritans to the new PC Puritans." - Andrew SullivanThere is no shortage of different perspectives on the issue, some more measured than others, especially the predictable outrage from over on the fainting couch of comedy. Go watch a true master at work to see + study the range of impressions (derogatory stereotypes) he does over the course of his performance. This is why there are no limits, and no exceptions. Ever.
I've often called the clippings on refrigerators as second only to the outhouse as far as hallowed ground for the display of one's work. And yes, I admit to still, even after all these years, being apprehensive and even a little bit pinch-me over every day that I run down to the corner store on Sunday for a peek at my panel on the page.
It's still satisfying, even more gratifying and humbling to hold it your hands, as the flickering & fleeting on-line arena evaporates pretty quick in comparison. Still, social media is basically a big ol' sandbox where one can wade right in and get dirty on the playground of ideas. It's a great resource especially as a sort of sounding board, testing the cartoon waters with a tenuous toe-tip as it were.
Take for example the trial run of a new character: "Herman the Ermine… a weasel at his easel." So far the suggestions for a sidekick range from "fartin' Martin" and "a stoat afloat on a boat in a moat" to "a mink wearing pink holding a drink in a sink," and "a ferret with merit."
Here's a perfect case in point as to the relative subjectivity of what some folks find funny.
Below is my (second) contribution to the ambiance of our local diner scene was upgraded at Sourdough Sam's (I got a breakfast on the house, which is what it must feel like to be a real celebrity). Also the frame is perfectly at eye-height for the demographic to which it will give childhood traumas...

Snowdrift Peak Climber's Log
Snidely Whiplash - Apr 15, 2013 8:39 pm Date Climbed: Jul 4, 1974Great Memory
A great summit of a seldomly-climbed mountain. I was 14 years old.
chicagotransplant - Apr 23, 2012 1:44 am Date Climbed: Apr 22, 2012Snowy Snowdrift
Climbed with Floyd, packed in to camp at Granite Falls and climbed northeast ridge after wrapping around peak. A lot more snow then we expected, it had been a light snow year and a warm spring, but the west side of RMNP is holding a lot of snow still.
heather14 - Sep 26, 2010 11:54 pm Date Climbed: Sep 26, 2010Fourth Time is a Charm
This was my 4th attempt on this moutain over the past 5 yrs, and finally made it! Could not have asked for better weather...pretty warm considering the date. Had the summit and the biggest part of the day to myself
dirth - Jul 7, 2009 3:56 pm Date Climbed: Jul 5, 2009North to South Traverse
Part of a 3 night backpack. Hiked up the north ridge, sought out refuge from lightening in the notch just north of the summit, summited, and climbed down the south ridge to the saddle above snowdrift lake, glissaded down the steep snow chute towards the lake and hiked down the series of valleys towards the continental divide trail. First person in the summit register for this year and only a page and a half in the register from the last 3 years.
Mountain Jim - May 7, 2006 12:34 am Date Climbed: Sep 4, 1989East Ridge
Total ascents = 2. A very pleasant, infrequently visited summit.
NanitaD - Mar 9, 2006 5:32 am Date Climbed: Jun 28, 1998Via: Flattop Trail
We went up the Flattop trail, around Ptarmigan Point, and over the unnamed summit to the east of Snowdrift. The snowy ridge was easy and the view of Murphy Lake on one side and Snowdrift Lake on the other is worth the effort.

I am trying to figure out the theta for a down-and-out barrier put option. After some research of my own, I found out that a down-and-out put can be expressed as $$ P_V(S_0, S_0)-P_V(S_0, H)-(S_0 - H)P_D(S_0, H) - \frac{H}{S_0}(P_V(\frac{H^2}{S_0}, S_0) - P_V(\frac{H^2}{S_0}, H) + (S_0 - H)P_D(\frac{H^2}{S_0}, H)) $$ where $P_V$ is a vanilla put and $P_D$ is a digital put and $H$ is the barrier.
Using this formulation, I used the usual greek formluas for the vanilla and digital options. However, I am not getting the result that I am supposed to.
This made me suspicious about my approach, and I wanted to check whether my approach was correct. If it is incorrect, I would very much appreciate if someone could tell me how to find the greeks (theta) of a barrier options, down-and-out put in particular.
Thank you in advance.

Airbus Donates Aircraft Elevator to SCC Aviation Maintenance Technology Program
Aircraft manufacturer Airbus has donated flight-control surfaces known as elevators
from within the Airbus A320 to the Somerset Community College Aviation Maintenance Technology program. The donation, worth nearly $500,000, will be used directly for student education
and training.
In an aircraft, the elevator is the small moving section at the back of the horizontal stabilizer, which keeps the nose from swinging. The elevator is hinged and therefore moves up to pitch the aircraft nose up and down to move the nose down by altering the lifts of the wings, said Mike Calder, associate professor of Aviation Maintenance.
The elevator is comprised of all composite structure, including fiberglass, Kevlar, carbon fiber and resin material. It is very lightweight, but also very strong, said David Deaton, SCC Aviation Maintenance Technology program coordinator. This donation from Airbus will allow us to expand the instruction of composite structure techniques that we currently offer.
Airbus is happy to donate this A320 elevator to Somerset Community College for its Aviation Maintenance Technology program, said Barry Eccleston, president of Airbus Americas. With this donation, we hope to help give the students hands-on experience with the new materials used in aerospace. Its an investment in the aerospace industry's future, and in the future of the manufacturing industry in Kentucky and the U.S.
Congressman Hal Rogers commended Airbus for enhancing the aviation program for local students in southern Kentucky.
With aerospace technology on the rise in Kentucky, it is important to ensure our students have access to the best educational opportunities to advance their skills and knowledge for the industry, said Congressman Rogers. I applaud this partnership between Airbus and Somerset Community College to bring this commercial aircraft material directly to instructors and students interested in the field.
This donation allows our students to work directly on the programs first commercially used aircraft part, said Deaton. That type of hands-on experience is invaluable. We are incredibly grateful to Airbus, and Congressman Rogers, for providing SCC with this donation of current aircraft technology.

Jurgen Klopp fires warning to Manchester United as Liverpool close in on second
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has his sights firmly set on Manchester United and second spot in the Premier League.
Goals from Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah sealed a 2-0 win away at Southampton for Liverpool just hours after Manchester United were beaten 1-0 at Newcastle.
Yesterday's results leave Klopp's Reds just two points behind United in second and with Manchester City all but crowned Premier League champions, Klopp has fired a warning to Jose Mourinho's United.
"I didn't know United had lost before the game but we know we're not far away," said Klopp.
"We play against them one more time this season at least, so that's good. For us, 54 points is important.
"What the other teams have we have no influence on. We just need to make sure we keep on winning to keep up the pressure."
Klopp felt £75million defender Virgil van Dijk coped admirably with the hostile reception on his return to Southampton.
Holland international Van Dijk, who arrived at Anfield last month having requested to leave Saints, was jeered from the first whistle to the last at St Mary's.
Klopp revealed he spoke to the 26-year-old about the occasion ahead of kick-off but had no doubts about playing him.
"He did really well and dealt with the situation fantastically," said Klopp.
"We had a little talk before the game, asking him what he thought - 'No, I'm fine, boss'.
"I didn't want to make him nervous if he isn't, obviously he wasn't.
The crowd is there to make life difficult for the opponent, but it wasn't too difficult for him from this point of view and I'm happy about that."
Firmino and Salah now have 49 goals between them this season in all competitions.
And Klopp believes they have regularly shown they are two of the finest players in the division.
"I really think (Sergio) Aguero and (Harry) Kane and a few others are really good players as well, but our boys are important for us," said the German.
"I love them because of their skills, their attitude but their work-rate is outstanding.
"They profit from our style of play as well. They play in areas where they like to have the ball.
"But, in this strong league, you cannot be third without fantastic players. They are two of them."

outside the chain of the site construction is a key ring in the process of optimization, as the optimization personnel, we are constantly selling the chain of high quality. Especially in Shanghai this year launched the love: Scindapsus algorithm, a large complement and later: bead chain algorithm. We can see that these two algorithms are constantly driven by owners outside the chain of more high-quality construction. The stability of weight but many owners to define the quality of the chain is often limited to the value chain, the chain and the chain of correlation, while ignoring a key point is also very important, that is whether the chain can let the target visitors click action.
The website was hacked to do [solutions]
1, view the web page source code (in the "right click" view source "), whether there has nothing to do with the content of the web site links, and garbled text.
1, open the web site (normal access), head of each page in the source code or tail (minority will appear elsewhere) can be found in the accumulation of links corresponding to add their own external links, the user is not found to add their own.
(not be familiar with the operation of FTP and the website backstage business users can open new technical support to business district posts for help, there will be a special technology for you!)
Eight details are easy to overlook the website of Shanghai Dragon
optimization in general is internal and external optimization optimization, a lot of time some people will feel optimization done worse than others, but also very hard. But why the website optimization for so long, the effect is not ideal, not others do well? Is often we ignore some of the details in the process of optimization, so the optimization effect is not obvious to us. Details determine success or failure, this is an eternal truth.
and URL
Shanghai dragon
website has now replaced the important position of the keyword, but it is now a lot of people are not very concerned with this description now is not only helpful to keywords ranking, but also help users on the website of the judge.

a content + Chain
for the chain to pay particular attention to a new station outside the chain, do not send out the deleted 10 links sent yesterday today to get up to check the remaining 2, this love will take you to the Shanghai station. Recommended to go to A5, so new bookmarks, BBS signature place to do outside the chain, the number up, new snapshot can change the friendship connection.
Love Shanghai Webmaster Platform Lee released documents on site 404 problems
OK, I admit defeat. Brief:
talk about 404 issues today, recently read a very interesting website found in the process of case, the site was filled with a lot of junk information, it is found that after the timely delete, this point is worthy of recognition. Under normal circumstances, the normal site will automatically return 404 status code, search engine update and delete, to avoid the negative impact on the users of the website and search engine. The only problem is that the site only delete the content, not any of the main content page is preserved, not 404. Of course, there is a 200 status code returned to normal websites only delete the content after the reminder "the content has been removed, but it is not. At present this collection can be found in URL 200 贵族宝贝cang.baidu贵族宝贝/Lee/snap/3b0a0cc8e7d7899facd36fad.html still returned to normal, and the consequences: the search engine will cost a lot of resources in this page is invalid, then the same loss used on important page resources will be a lot of crowding, as can be imagined, high quality page will be affected in some performance of search engine. After many communication we operate under the students still further processing. I think, in twenty-first Century second for ten years, should no longer exists this problem.
n 2016 9 external chain website layout
love Shanghai canceled the chain, a lot of Shanghai dragon Er novices do not know how to optimize the site, and the site of the external promotion of the workload is very large, if the wrong way, it is easy to be K station.
so specific how should we do? Just like the Shanghai dragon to share some good form of the chain for you.
1, in the forum and community to stay outside the chain of
quiz links are very important to the website promotion, many people say is not to leave the link, is actually a lack of skills, can see the figure, the man left a successful link, we can see that the mobile phone is PC question, answer, so we should do more tests.
A real dragon mentality of college students in Shanghai
first entered university in our class has a lot of students choose to be part-time, I also with the past, one afternoon in a Hefei square followed ass hair leaflets, I feel very tired, my heart is not, why are we who have tried knowledge this grievance. I give up this, I started to put my sights on network business.
the University found that the university is not so good I thought. College kids love learning has very little, when the class lecture on the blackboard, the students play in the mobile phone, whether has become a thing of the It is quite common for. After the university to know the social vices, such as money worship has spread to this has been given the sanctity of the campus, there are some very rich kids on campus, they can wear brand, can every school holiday, parents have to pick up the car, some is BMW, some the opening of the Mercedes benz. Suddenly I found that I am so envy and jealousy.
Don't let sensitive words be standing on the grounds of search engine K
many of my friends to see a lot of Shanghai Longfeng article, always love Sike keyword density, found a lot of people say the keyword density is kept between 2%-8% in stationmaster net inside, feel the website keyword density is not enough, deliberately to stack keywords. I checked the website keyword density, the highest is 8.3%, the lowest 1%, as shown in figure
station of TKD is not very well written, with most of the website TKD information is used to invoke the program, it is not flexible, causing the site to be included in the search engine, search engine to determine the site content is repeated, it will appear.
From the customer's point of view on love Shanghai recommendation engine
and vertical portal better cooperation, it will undoubtedly make love in Shanghai with a large electricity supplier website to get the "win-win" effect, and this problem, "
love Shanghai recommendation engine is active users found the current or potential demand, active push information, applications and services to users of Internet technology. Cross domain recommendation is a recommendation engine based on the emphasis on the use of general recommendation technology, cross platform information, applications and services recommended.
How the enterprise website and search engine optimization on Shanghai dragon a love
already said, the biggest problem is that we only to improve their own quality, the search engine will attract us, will risk being laws opposition with me, so I do website optimization which is the focus of the analysis, and is divided into nine points to discuss, hope you communicate with me.
2, the website structure optimization: as your introduction, you just started to meet with each other, to introduce their family to each other, as well as the structure of the site must be clear, to ensure that your user page or search engine came to normal quickly open and see what you do what. The search engine doesn't love Flash, iFrames and Java script script too much, so keep the site clean and tidy, conducive to the search engine spiders to crawl faster and more accurate understanding of your website and you.
Cold stone how to combine industrial project and Shanghai dragon
2, analysis of its advantages.
3, with the advantage of others.
1, analysis of the local natural advantages.
own Shanghai dragon and the establishment of the technology, assuming no funds to invest, can be tied to familiar with the business development together, because they have money, you can not understand the technology, cooperation. You have a buddy, named Wen Zi, "
learning Shanghai dragon, learning website, the purpose is to make money through the network can achieve some day in the future, passive income. Personally think that a lot of Wangzhuan form, a lot of people become the envy of the master in the higher fields, assuming today want to borrow Shanghai dragon to make money, simply relying on online posts to do some difficulty, learned Shanghai dragon and the establishment of the people know that the technology is not difficult, for a period of time to exercise if you want to master the basic skills, through technical transformation through the network, also need the help of line project. Wangzhuan = + + + project of Shanghai Longfeng station to look, this simple formula that is the most difficult to determine and implement the project. Select the project is actually not so difficult to imagine, the key is to position yourself well, know that they are a few pounds, analyze their advantages in which, in which their own strengths, the biggest advantage of play to the extreme can have the greatest productivity. The crap improper food to eat, how to choose a project? Don't worry, then I will put my thoughts long winded a few words, for reference:
Give a model of a car company's Web site to do a brief diagnosis of Shanghai Dragon
It sounded like a Keywords and long tail keywords marketing type
2, for the enterprise type of site in terms of estimation is to sell products, or join agents (i.e. find agents). So the website planning and positioning is very important:
> 5
of your target customers, this is of course your industry insiders are most clearly, so it is best to have the pre planning website to participate in the sales department. Through a detailed understanding of the target customers are most concerned about and worry about a website, to achieve the customer in the browse the site, dispel all care and worry in his heart, coupled with the overall structure of the site looks very professional, beautiful atmosphere, have the strength to hook visitors and telephone counselling single desire.
Analysis a new station on the line optimization of my ideas
second, a new station on the line after my own content update strategy. The new station is submitted in October 9th second days in Shanghai is love love Shanghai included, included the author to update the article, you can see the updated article is October 11 at present is included, the contents of the author's idea is after submission of love Shanghai, within the normal working day every day to write good articles. Sometimes a sometimes 2, the reason is that the operation of the new line, you can add a lot of articles, but the number is too often their thinking would be limited, inadvertently into repeating a dead end, the result is that the quality is low, although a different title but the user is not very new, let alone. The search engines look not said any fresh sense and value, so the idea of the author is to grasp the quality, every morning while clear When writing an article to the 2 high quality articles, can be released, although this time they are updated every day but the love of Shanghai was indifferent, I think this is normal, need not be impatient, patience is the key, so to do it in the station of the new.
Experience the website is linked to the horse how to keep the rankings
Before 3,
We all know that
1, the web page and program revision, the replacement of the FTP space, and set up a "read-only", to prevent another attack
is telling a solution, he needs to tell you a basic situation of the website, 1, domain name age more than 1 years; 2, the website linked to the phenomenon of the horse found earlier; 3, keyword index is about 200.
1 home, black chain is love Shanghai included, and report dangerous website
2, Robots shield spider, update the Robots file
For you to resolve now sites are often black reasons
from the literal meaning, open source program source code is open to the public, so the website what vulnerabilities will be found, it will be the first time in the network upload, if we can make the corresponding patch, so the site can easily be black. However, we have to consider the benefits of open source program. The first is a free open source, can greatly reduce the cost of development, we are very love it; secondly, the open source program to facilitate the development of two times, easy to expand our post on the website function; thirdly, the open source program is free, if the site maintenance service is not good, we are easy to site to other companies, so the choice of open source the program website is very good choice.
A few site is down right up
4, included a large number of reducing
snapshot suddenly stop
site is down right there are many, not necessarily is the one place you do not, the site is generally used to punish "integral punishment system" that is to say, the site has a place to do is not good, then the search engine will give the site a sub plot, the cumulative punishment standard reached that might lead to the search engine punishment, punishment in general form, right down, ranking disappear, flow reduction, and even K station etc.. Well not much to say other, into the business, how to judge the site is down right.

Distance Learning Technologies
Information and communications technologies progress from one innovation to the next very rapidly. The moment a new product comes to the marketplace, an improved model is already on the way to replace it. Leading the advance, digital technology expands distance learning into areas never before realized by conventional textbook and chalkboard educational practices.
One negative aspect of continuously evolving technology is that educators have trouble keeping pace with the changes. As a result, delays sometimes occur between the deployment of new technology and its utilization as a learning tool. Still, the irresistible progress of information technology carries distance learning to new horizons.
- Any form of knowledge can be digitalized and then formulated into an educational tool.
- The technologies used to design, store, transport, and implement digital educational resources vary by type (video, computer software, Web sites, etc.), but the purpose for all is the same: to distribute knowledge in an efficient, comprehensible, interesting way.
- Technology is useful only to convey knowledge; how effectively content is applied through information technology depends on which methods are employed and how well educators operate the tools used to achieve method objectives.
- The two primary techniques that exploit information technologies to conduct distance learning programs are synchronous and asynchronous.
Synchronous Technology
Synchronous means "at the same time," which describes a distance learning system whereby the instructor and the students participate in course activities simultaneously but from different locations. In one simple example, an instructor may hold a video lecture for a group of pupils gathered at a facility equipped for the purpose. Or instruction may be transmitted from one location to individual outlets where participants work alone. A mix of technical applications supports synchronous functions—from cell phone conference calls to online seminars and chat rooms. Because synchronous events occur in the present tense, interaction between participants stimulates discussion and enhances comprehension of a subject. Whatever technologies are used, synchronous distance learning methods do impose an appointed time to take part in a course. For people who have trouble studying independently, synchronous programs provide a fixed routine without resorting to classroom attendance. Anyone considering a synchronous distance learning course should think about its limited flexibility compared to other programs.
The multimedia benefits of synchronous distance learning exact a high price in terms of modern technology. Essentially, every live-action event is an interactive broadcast conducted back and forth across a digital electronics matrix. All the participants in a synchronous course ought to be equipped with the same level of technology or else the system might go haywire. An example of the latter scenario involved a Web-based seminar transmitted by a computer with a high-speed Internet connection to computers receiving the seminar at slower speeds. Blank spots caused by incompatible systems interrupted a lecture that left several participants wondering what to do next. When all the technical components harmonize, synchronous distance learning programs offer the widest range of educational possibilities—from real-time discussion to live lectures enhanced by simulations, video clips, animations, and graphics. If conditions permit, live events can be recorded for future reference.
When information technology entered the distance learning field, the earliest synchronous device was the telephone. Live contact usually involved instructors answering questions about coursework already in progress rather than introducing subject material over the phone. Video conferencing—which was restricted to specially equipped facilities until personal computers became affordable to the general public—evolved into the "virtual classroom." As more advanced information technology becomes mainstream, new adaptations for synchronous distance learning are sure to appear.
Not to be overlooked, however, are the ordinary devices that enable synchronous distance learning. The
cell phone's potential use as an educational tool has not been fully exploited, even though cell phones
incorporate the latest information technology into every new version that hits the market. What was once
a cumbersome, expensive, and inefficient novelty has developed into a multimedia marvel. The newest cell
phones are pocket computers with functions and applications that are not practical for laptops and
desktops. Most significantly for distance learning programs, cell phone usage encompasses the whole
world, extending educational opportunities to areas without any other form of communications network.
Asynchronous Technology
Educational programs conducted at different places and times define asynchronous distance learning. The earliest asynchronous distance learning system, the correspondence course delivered by mail, could not avoid delays involving study material, questions about coursework, corrections and revisions, or tutorials. Information technology has reduced the elapsed response time for asynchronous programs from days to moments, transforming delay into an educational asset instead of a tedious waiting period. Flexible study schedules and less formal interaction between participants give control of the learning process to the student and redefine the role of the instructor from knowledge provider to knowledge facilitator. The fundamental concept behind modern asynchronous programs is that time is at the student's disposal instead of the other way around.
- Asynchronous learning, while not an immediate face-to-face experience, nevertheless relies on group interaction and collaborative effort to achieve educational objectives.
- Communication takes place between individuals and groups in a less hierarchical, less subdued environment.
- By removing the time zone from a learning situation, no urgency pressures students to ask questions or to answer them; nor are students subjected to impulsive comments made by other students who, intentionally or not, create "conflicts of context" during class.
- With time to spare, students can think about a subject and refine their ideas before contributing to a group discussion online.
- Communication by e-mail or message boards allows mutual examination of contributions from other students, which invigorates learning through constructive collaboration.
According to the constructivist learning theory, knowledge is a product of communication during social interaction. This view holds that the best way to learn is to become a member of a learning community. Rather than taking a passive role in education, members of a learning community join in and work out strategies to accomplish course objectives together.
Instructors have a more difficult
task dealing with distance learning communities than conducting an ordinary class on campus. Monitoring
student progress, keeping up with online exchanges, responding to direct inquiries, and deciding whether
or not to intervene in community activity compels the instructor to act as a mediator and facilitator,
and to relinquish the role of authority figure. The altered roles and positions assumed by students and
instructors engaged in distance learning communities place everyone involved under an educational social
contract. Responsibility and accountability are evenly distributed to all members of the community.
Well-designed, well-organized asynchronous programs function as base camp for distance learning

- Plugin version: v10.0.0
- Released on: 2019-10-15
- Changelog
For other versions, see the Versioned plugin docs.
For questions about the plugin, open a topic in the Discuss forums. For bugs or feature requests, open an issue in Github. For the list of Elastic supported plugins, please consult the Elastic Support Matrix.
Write events to a Kafka topic.
This plugin uses Kafka Client 2.1.0. For broker compatibility, see the official Kafka compatibility reference. If the linked compatibility wiki is not up-to-date, please contact Kafka support/community to confirm compatibility.
If you require features not yet available in this plugin (including client version upgrades), please file an issue with details about what you need.
This output supports connecting to Kafka over:
- SSL (requires plugin version 3.0.0 or later)
- Kerberos SASL (requires plugin version 5.1.0 or later)
By default security is disabled but can be turned on as needed.
The only required configuration is the topic_id.
The default codec is plain. Logstash will encode your events with not only the message field but also with a timestamp and hostname.
If you want the full content of your events to be sent as json, you should set the codec in the output configuration like this:
output { kafka { codec => json topic_id => "mytopic" } }
For more information see http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#theproducer
Kafka producer configuration: http://kafka.apache.org/documentation.html#newproducerconfigs
This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the Common Options described later.
|Input type
string, one of
string, one of
a valid filesystem path
a valid filesystem path
string, one of
a valid filesystem path
a valid filesystem path
Also see Common Options for a list of options supported by all output plugins.
- Value can be any of:
- Default value is
The number of acknowledgments the producer requires the leader to have received before considering a request complete.
acks=0, the producer will not wait for any acknowledgment from the server at all. acks=1, This will mean the leader will write the record to its local log but will respond without awaiting full acknowledgement from all followers. acks=all, This means the leader will wait for the full set of in-sync replicas to acknowledge the record.
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The producer will attempt to batch records together into fewer requests whenever multiple records are being sent to the same partition. This helps performance on both the client and the server. This configuration controls the default batch size in bytes.
- Value type is string
- Default value is
This is for bootstrapping and the producer will only use it for getting metadata (topics,
partitions and replicas). The socket connections for sending the actual data will be
established based on the broker information returned in the metadata. The format is
host1:port1,host2:port2, and the list can be a subset of brokers or a VIP pointing to a
subset of brokers.
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The total bytes of memory the producer can use to buffer records waiting to be sent to the server.
The id string to pass to the server when making requests. The purpose of this is to be able to track the source of requests beyond just ip/port by allowing a logical application name to be included with the request
- Value can be any of:
- Default value is
The compression type for all data generated by the producer. The default is none (i.e. no compression). Valid values are none, gzip, or snappy.
The Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) API supplies user authentication and authorization services for Kafka. This setting provides the path to the JAAS file. Sample JAAS file for Kafka client:
KafkaClient { com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required useTicketCache=true renewTicket=true serviceName="kafka"; };
Please note that specifying
jaas_path and
kerberos_config in the config file will add these
to the global JVM system properties. This means if you have multiple Kafka inputs, all of them would be sharing the same
jaas_path and
kerberos_config. If this is not desirable, you would have to run separate instances of Logstash on
different JVM instances.
Optional path to kerberos config file. This is krb5.conf style as detailed in https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html
- Value type is string
- Default value is
Serializer class for the key of the message
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The producer groups together any records that arrive in between request transmissions into a single batched request. Normally this occurs only under load when records arrive faster than they can be sent out. However in some circumstances the client may want to reduce the number of requests even under moderate load. This setting accomplishes this by adding a small amount of artificial delay—that is, rather than immediately sending out a record the producer will wait for up to the given delay to allow other records to be sent so that the sends can be batched together.
The key for the message
- Value type is number
- Default value is
the timeout setting for initial metadata request to fetch topic metadata.
- Value type is number
- Default value is
the max time in milliseconds before a metadata refresh is forced.
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The size of the TCP receive buffer to use when reading data
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The amount of time to wait before attempting to reconnect to a given host when a connection fails.
The configuration controls the maximum amount of time the client will wait for the response of a request. If the response is not received before the timeout elapses the client will resend the request if necessary or fail the request if retries are exhausted.
- Value type is number
- There is no default value for this setting.
The default retry behavior is to retry until successful. To prevent data loss, the use of this setting is discouraged.
If you choose to set
retries, a value greater than zero will cause the
client to only retry a fixed number of times. This will result in data loss
if a transport fault exists for longer than your retry count (network outage,
Kafka down, etc).
A value less than zero is a configuration error.
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The amount of time to wait before attempting to retry a failed produce request to a given topic partition.
JAAS configuration setting local to this plugin instance, as opposed to settings using config file configured using
jaas_path, which are shared across the JVM. This allows each plugin instance to have its own configuration.
If both
sasl_jaas_config and
jaas_path configurations are set, the setting here takes precedence.
Example (setting for Azure Event Hub):
output { kafka { sasl_jaas_config => "org.apache.kafka.common.security.plain.PlainLoginModule required username='auser' password='apassword';" } }
The Kerberos principal name that Kafka broker runs as. This can be defined either in Kafka's JAAS config or in Kafka's config.
- Value type is string
- Default value is
SASL mechanism used for client connections. This may be any mechanism for which a security provider is available. GSSAPI is the default mechanism.
- Value can be any of:
- Default value is
Security protocol to use, which can be either of PLAINTEXT,SSL,SASL_PLAINTEXT,SASL_SSL
- Value type is number
- Default value is
The size of the TCP send buffer to use when sending data.
- Value type is string
- Default value is
The endpoint identification algorithm, defaults to
"https". Set to empty string
"" to disable
The password of the private key in the key store file.
If client authentication is required, this setting stores the keystore path.
If client authentication is required, this setting stores the keystore password
The keystore type.
The JKS truststore path to validate the Kafka broker's certificate.
The truststore password
The truststore type.
- This is a required setting.
- Value type is string
- There is no default value for this setting.
The topic to produce messages to
The following configuration options are supported by all output plugins:
- Value type is codec
- Default value is
The codec used for output data. Output codecs are a convenient method for encoding your data before it leaves the output without needing a separate filter in your Logstash pipeline.
- Value type is boolean
- Default value is
Disable or enable metric logging for this specific plugin instance. By default we record all the metrics we can, but you can disable metrics collection for a specific plugin.
Add a unique
ID to the plugin configuration. If no ID is specified, Logstash will generate one.
It is strongly recommended to set this ID in your configuration. This is particularly useful
when you have two or more plugins of the same type. For example, if you have 2 kafka outputs.
Adding a named ID in this case will help in monitoring Logstash when using the monitoring APIs.
output { kafka { id => "my_plugin_id" } }

DAY 24: Does your religion (or lack of) help/hurt/affect your infertility journey? Have you found religion? Lost it? Does it affect what treatments you do?
Whew. This is tough. Ok so I believe in God. I got lost there for awhile and then came back and then doubted again when this IF stuff started getting real. But now I'm back. Although I wouldn't necessarily call it "religion," since I can't really subscribe to any one religion.
So I have faith in God, His sovereignty and His love. I know He's the one who gave me the perfect partner to take this journey with and when I feel like I can't take anymore He's there to comfort me. Because I know that His plan is perfect Hubster and I can get through this difficult time together.
This experience has renewed my faith and definitely helps my journey. Although sometimes it makes this journey more confusing. But my faith helps.
No, it doesn't affect the treatments I do because I have seen His blessings delivered through IVF. I just pray I never get to that point (unless of course I win the lottery!).
I think my newfound faith is what is getting me through the end of this 2ww. So you know how I've mentioned that I get a lot of "pregnancy symptoms" from the progesterone my body produces? Well not only does that happen every month, but they are always different. EVERY MONTH, MY 2WW SYMPTOMS CHANGE! This month is no exception and even though I'm frustrated, I'm also pretty zen about it. What else can I be? And by my calculations, AF should arrive sometime between tomorrow and Sunday. Last month my cycle only ended up being 24 days so if that's the case this month, AF should get here tomorrow. But if I ovulated on CD 11 and my LP is 14 days long, AF should arrive Friday. On Clomid my LP was 15-16 days long so it could be even later. Crap. I really hope not. But I'm used to my body tricking me just when I have it figured out and I haven't spotted yet. Which has happened to me 2-3 days before my period starts for the last 7 months.
So yeah. I'm zen. Goodnight!

Climate warmists continue perpetuating the myth that increased carbon emissions have and will result in more warfare and suffering. If only they examined the two defining criteria — war deaths and famine deaths — they would discover how embarrassing their alarmism really is.
War, famine and suffering are at record lows; indeed dramatically down during the modern carbon era.
Famine fatalities: According the UN's own data, from the 1920s through the 1960s, famine killed an average of 5.3 people per 1,000 globally, but only 0.5 per 1,000 since then. That's a stunning 91% reduction and yet it coincided with the globe's highest carbon output.
In this new century it's just 0.08 per 1K, so far, or down 98.5%. Don't credit UN grain bags; relief shipments have dropped through the decades. Famine of course leads to wars, which brings us to…
War fatalities: Catastrophic World War II would make this too easy, so let's begin with the 1950s. According to data from the International Peace Research Institute, annual combined civilian/combatant war deaths averaged 6.0 per 100,000 globally during the 50s, dropping to 4.7 during the 70s, then 1.9 in the 90s, and most recently 0.7 per 100k.
All told an 88% reduction since the 1950s. The number of conflicts began dropping when the Cold War ended 25 years ago and today nearly all conflicts are internal/civil wars with death tolls remarkably lower than previous wars.
So why all the alarmist hyperbole and the ease with which a populace would believe it? Could it be that constant 24/7 news, global video transmission of warfare, handheld devices, the Internet and social media combined have saturated our minds with a false impression that violence and suffering have worsened?
Is it also possible that each generation believes its own era is more pivotal and cataclysmic than prior ones despite contradicting data? Are those two considerations so overwhelming that alarmists don't even bother to research the historical record?
Today's alarmists say we humans are doomed, but the facts indicate humankind has already saved itself.

J.K. Rowling provides more proof that, in the Age of Trump, the Left is losing its grip with reality.
Having denied Charlie's parents the right to seek treatment, then wasting time through a protracted legal process, the defendants in the case effectively ran out the clock on Charlie.
Facebook has taken one step closer to its grand vision of a shining newsfeed on a hill, announcing a self-contained Facebook community for rich tech people in Menlo Park.
If this is where the Vatican now makes its stand, then the most vulnerable members of society—which is to say all of us, at some point—are in trouble.
Had gun controllers' proposed rules been in place, they would not have prevented America's recent high-profile mass shootings.
There was no good reason for Jeronimo Yanez to have opened fire upon Philando Castile. He had no indication that there was any reason to do so.
Did the same media that condemned Republicans for allegedly inspiring the Gabby Giffords shooting condemn today's hysterical anti-Trump climate? Of course not.
Your hysterics surrounding the United States' withdrawal from the Paris global warming arrangement have finally driven it home for us: this isn't working.
I had been by my wife's side for 12 hours as she moaned, breathed, and eventually pushed, and still I was not prepared for what seemed for all appearances to be magic.
With Donald Trump in the White House, the media is increasingly apathetic towards, if not antipathetic to, the truth.
Bill Nye hasn't edited old segments from his show to better adhere to the scientific method. He's doing it to align himself with progressive orthodoxy.
We should not be afraid to tell the Nate Silvers of the world the uncomfortable but undeniable truth. James Comey did not cost Hillary Clinton the election. Hillary Clinton did.
Someone appears to have retroactively censored an episode of 'Bill Nye the Science Guy' that explains how human chromosomes determine our biological sex.
Now you can ignore the hysteria and simply live your life without worrying about Tampa.
It could be that the disciples—a bunch of cowardly goatherds and fishermen—had secret ninja powers. Or just maybe, Jesus actually rose from the grave.
To effectively take the vote away from the white males, one must give them special non-voting privileges. Which kind of defeats the purpose. Sorry, ladies.
Direct primary care offers in reality what our political class has thus far offered us only in theory: sane, reasonable, and affordable health care.
Social media can accomplish great things. It can also be a sewer pit of self-absorption and thoughtless anger. Trump has to learn to tell the difference.
Cosmopolitan's Jill Filipovic has constructed an argument against originalism that should embarrass even the most disinterested of history students.
Years of sensational coverage has made the 'implicit bias' test out to be a foolproof predictor of racist belief. The evidence strongly suggests otherwise.

Tribune, RespondTV spawn interactive ads
Tribune Broadcasting's KSWB(TV) in San Diego is working with RespondTV in an interactive advertising test with the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Wild Animal Park.
Viewers with enhanced TV enabled set-top boxes can interact with the each of the commercials to obtain a coupon
for a free child's admission with every adult ticket purchased. Campbell Mithun Esty developed the
creative for the spots. "We recognize that we need to find new ways to provide even more value for our viewers and advertisers," said Lise Markham, KSWB vice president and
general manager in a prepared statement."
Tribune has a multi-year pact with RespondTV covering the broadcaster's 22 major market television stations across the
country. KSWB in San Diego aired its first interactive TV program earlier this year with Tribune Entertainment's Andromeda series. KSWB successfully piloted
the interactive series, with interactive capabilities for the series' six episodes rolled out to all Tribune stations.

Over 500 Blu-Ray screencaptures of Toni's performance as Peggy Robertson in "Hitchcock" have been added to the gallery. This has been such a nice, kind of odd and old-fashioned film with great detail. Be sure to check its career page for more information and enjoy the captures.
With the European theatrical releases of "Hitchcock" this week, many new production stills featuring Toni have been released. Have a look at 20 new stills in the image library.
|With "Hitchcock" being released in various European cities these days, a couple of new production stills and posters have been released. And with the awards season taking place right now, the film was able to score nominations for Helen Mirren at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild and BAFTA Awards. Fingers crossed she makes the cut as well at tomorrow's Oscar nominations.
According to the HD Room, The Fox Searchlight film Hitchcock starring Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock, Helen Mirren as his wife Alma Reville, and Scarlett Johansson as Janet Leigh will make its Blu-ray and DVD debut on March 12. Hitchcock has earned just over $3.6 million in limited released following its theatrical debut on November 23, 2012. The story about the legendary filmmaker's relationship with his wife during the filming of Psycho should prove a big draw on home video where many interested viewers will finally have access to the film. Fox has yet to formally announce the Blu-ray and DVD release of Hitchcock so no disc details are available at this time. The official announcement is expected to be made in early 2013.
Pictures from the BAFTA New York screening and Q&A for "Hitchcock" (November 17) as well as the New York press conference for the film (November 19) have been added to the image library. The London premiere of "Hitchock" takes place tonight, so far no word if Toni will be in attendance.
|Alfred Hitchcock's carefully honed persona was as distinctive as his silhouette, and yet just as unrevealing. In the new drama Hitchcock, which plumbs the personal and professional machinations behind the scenes of Psycho, director Sacha Gervasi illuminates the man in the shadows by focusing on Hitchcock's close relationship with his wife. "What drew me to the project was the notion of telling an emotional story about a man we know nothing about on an emotional level." The complete article can be read at W Magazine.
