Khaled Hosseini has joined the illustrious ranks of Philip Pullman and the authors of a story about gay penguins, after his novel The Kite Runner became one of the books that inspired most complaints in America last year.
The bestselling and critically acclaimed title, the story of a 12-year-old Afghan and his betrayal of his best friend, includes the rape of a boy, and provoked challenges in the US over what objectors saw as sexual content and offensive language. Some objections led to the removal of the book from library shelves, while others saw it replaced with bowdlerised versions minus the offending scenes, according to the American Library Association, which compiles an annual list of the most challenged titles in the country.
Topping this list in 2008 was, for the third year running, Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell's And Tango Makes Three, a children's book about two male penguins who bring up an orphaned chick. Based on a newspaper story the authors saw about a zookeeper who noticed two of his penguins trying to hatch a stone, the book was criticised for being pro-gay, anti-religion and anti-family.
"Books that address same-sex parenting, or same-sex relationships, are particularly prone to challenges in the US," said Deborah Caldwell-Stone, deputy director of the ALA's office for intellectual freedom, which has collected information on challenged books for the last 20 years. "In the case of And Tango Makes Three, there are many parents who believe it inappropriate to teach children anything at all about homosexual relationships, even in the form of a picture book about a true story."
Another stalwart of the ALA's list, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, rose to second place overall in 2008 from fourth the previous year, distressing challengers over its political viewpoint, religious viewpoint and violent scenes. Last year Pullman said his immediate reaction on hearing the news was "glee". "They never learn," he said. "The inevitable result of trying to ban something – book, film, play, pop song, whatever – is that far more people want to get hold of it than would ever have done if it were left alone. Why don't the censors realise this?"
Caldwell-Stone said the film of The Golden Compass, based on the first novel in Pullman's trilogy, had renewed attacks on the sequence from Catholic pressure groups. "In many cases school boards reacted precipitously and removed it – then a few weeks later they returned it to the shelves," she said.
This year, challengers appeared to be focusing their efforts on more recent releases, with Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (which had drawn criticism for racism), Alice Walker's The Color Purple (challenged for sexual content, homosexual content and offensive language) and Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (sexual content) all dropping out of the top 10 after riding high last year.
The ALA recorded 513 challenges in 2008, up from 420 in 2007. The ALA defines a challenge as "a formal, written complaint, filed with a library or school, requesting that materials be removed or restricted because of content or appropriateness". It estimates that as few as one in five challenges are actually reported. "We believe this is just the tip of the iceberg," said Caldwell-Stone.
Seventy-four books were actually removed from shelves following challenges last year, the ALA said, ranging from Jodi Picoult's bestselling novel My Sister's Keeper, pulled for its sexually explicit content, to Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which includes references to masturbation. Alexie's comments at the time echoed Pullman's, with the author telling local press that "the amazing thing is these banners never understand they are turning this book into a sacred treasure. We don't write to try and be banned, but it is widely known in the [young adult] world, we love this shit."
"While not every book is right for each reader, every reader has the right to choose reading materials for themselves and their families and should be able to find those materials in libraries, classrooms, and bookstores. Our goal is to protect one of our most precious fundamental rights - our freedom to read," said Caldwell-Stone.
The ALA celebrates all banned and challenged books every year with Banned Books Week, founded by Judith Krug, a tireless anti-censorship campaigner who died last week after a long illness, aged 69. Often quoted as saying that "censorship dies in the light of day", Krug was the director of the ALA's office for intellectual freedom and executive director of its Freedom to Read Foundation for more than 40 years.
"Judith had an abiding faith in the power of 'the community of the book' – she was convinced that when librarians, publishers, booksellers, and authors stand together in defence of intellectual freedom we are unstoppable. She believed in our obligation to take on that fight wherever and whenever it arose, and more often than not she led the charge," said Judith Platt, president of the Freedom to Read Foundation. "She considered librarianship to be the highest of callings and there is an entire generation of librarians out there whose commitment to intellectual freedom was forged and shaped by Judith Krug."

Uranium mining in Niger: Shining a light on a case of injustice
If you ask a French citizen where their electricity comes from, many would proudly say from 'green power', meaning nuclear power. France has one of the largest nuclear power complexes in the world, supplying powerhouse economies like Germany as well as many Eastern European countries.
But France doesn't have much uranium for nuclear generation. For more than 50 years this simply hasn't been a problem. Since it struck an agreement with the poor, landlocked country of Niger in 1967, France has been getting a pretty good deal.
A win-win contract
Between 1971-2010, two subsidiaries of AREVA, the nuclear giant, extracted 114,346 tonnes of uranium from Niger, worth 2.3 trillion CFA francs (over €3.5 billion). From that sum, AREVA paid Niger only 300 billion CFA francs (approximately €459 million or a paltry €11 million per year on average), or just 13% of its market value. This is obviously not fair. What Oxfam is asking for is for Niger to sign a win-win contract, based on Niger's demand that its uranium mining industry should be contributing around 20% to its national budget, or about €400 million each year.
AREVA and the Government of Niger are now negotiating to renew this agreement. But how can Niger hold out for its fair dues? Niger's officials lack sufficient information on AREVA operations, and lack sufficient experience in negotiating such a mega-contract. Most importantly, Niger is heavily dependent on French development assistance, budget support and military assistance.
Highly secretive negotiations
France sits at a high 20th spot in the latest Human Development Index, while Niger is in 187th and last place. It is vital that France is as open and as fair as possible in negotiating such a huge mineral contract with the world's poorest country, in order to dispel even the hint of suspicion of bullying and exploitation. But so far, it's doing precisely the opposite; these negotiations appear to be highly secretive.
To make matters worse, there are also the pervasive threats of health risks from radiation, water table depletion, and environmental destruction. There needs to be much more research and publicity on the impact that this uranium mining is having on the health of workers and residents living in the area, as well as the impact on the environment. ROTAB, a national NGO, and a local NGO, AGHIR IN'MAN, regularly criticize AREVA and the Niger government for their carelessness.
ROTAB (part of the Publish what you Pay Coalition) is a partner of Oxfam that lobbies extractive industries to be more transparent and accountable. In Niger's Agadez region and in other mining areas, ROTAB trains local people and authorities on participatory budgeting, to ensure that the revenues from the extractive industries are managed in more transparent ways.
Public mobilization
I'm proud of the joint report that Oxfam produced this month, because we need to use public opinion to ensure that Niger establishes a uranium mining partnership that is more balanced and in the best interests of Nigeriens.
Pastoralist communities across the vast, desert lands of northern Niger do not have a strong voice in the complex negotiations over mining permits. Their story is not unique – it's being repeated in remote, rural communities all over the globe. There are millions of Nigeriens who live without electricity, education and health care. In this country that is so vulnerable to repeated droughts and floods, uranium should provide the means for Niger to develop and build an economy that is resilient to food and climate shocks, and that ensures the right to basic services for its people.
One of the best ways to change the balance of power is to strengthen Nigerien civil society organizations that try to help ordinary people to assert their rights. In Oxfam's experience, we know that most of the improvements that have come about in the partnership between Niger and AREVA are largely due to grassroots activism. The work of civil society reinforces and encourages Nigerien government negotiators to defend more strongly the national interest. Indeed, Government actors are more aware about more their obligations of accountability because of the pressure by local civil society. Oxfam will also continue to advocate on this issue internationally, mainly in the capitals of Europe, especially France.
These negotiations with AREVA are a huge opportunity for Niger to make more of one of its most valuable natural resources. The first step is to bring these talks out into the open, and with a better deal, ensure that in 2014 AREVA starts paying the true price for its power.
Oxfam in Niger has a staff of 107 and has conducted programs since 1992.
What do you think can be done to change the balance of power? Write and give us your views.

Use the command:
tcpdump | grep isakmp
This displays all packets passing through the tcp/ip stack on the linux server, pipes the output to the "grep" command, and ends up only displaying packets which are related to "isakmp", the key exchange when attempting to establish an IPSEC PSK VPN connection. Use other strings after 'grep' to find other types of packets. Or, leave off the pipe and grep if you want to drink from a firehose. 🙂

Music Reviews From Sir Jorge
It is my intention to track through all of the music that has been a part of my life, and that's not an easy task. I have been involved with listening to music for as long as I can remember, and at one point in my life I even started a record label. It was formed out of the need to get a job, and the end of the band that my friends and I failed to get rolling. It was an odd venture, one where we had record label interest before even writing a full song, and some of the best times of my life. Although, there were some tumultuous things about that time frame, it remains part of a fond collection of memories.
Reject 37 Records was an ill-fated attempt to get into a scene that I wasn't ready to be in. I still hold on to a lot of those memories and while I don't ever talk to or see many of the people that made that whole experience worth mentioning today, I recall doing something that other critics can't say they have done.
The music reviews that you read here are all from discs that I own or have legally downloaded. I recommend purchasing them with the links provided, and supporting the artist however you can.

2 monitors and screensavers
I have an external LCD monitor connected to my notebook via HDMI. I'd like to be able to turn off the laptop screen or make it go black or run a screensaver ONLY on it, while I'm working/watching a film on my external display. Going into my notebooks settings and toggling from 2 displays to 1, works but is not a process I want to do as frequently as I'm having to do now.
Basically I'd like to be able to turn on and off (or blackout the screen or run screensaver) my notebooks display, as quickly as possible, while not effecting whatever is going on, on the external display.

In my opinion, the fastest and easiest solution is just close the lid of your notebook. Right click power icon in notification area, choose Power Options. Click Choose what closing the lid does and set the value to Do nothing.
Just close the lid when you are watching a film on your external display.

Sorry Ashma, smarteyeball is right. That is not possible, at least natively. The may be a third party app put there somewhere that will do that, and if you find one, please post back. Many people ask questions similar to that. It would be nice to get an answer.
Good luck!

Thanks for the response guys!
Kari, there have been too many times where I'll unplug and close my laptop while moving it to another room and forget that its in sleep when lid is closed mode and then have to wake it up. Sure waking up in Win7 is quick but I like having the lid set to do nothing.
Well so far what I was able to come up with was a program called Blackout 1.0: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Blackout.shtml. I saved it to a folder I have setup for all my programs that don't have installs. Made a desktop shortcut for it and placed it in my True Launch Taskbar. So now when I'm watching a film or working on the external display, I can just click on the Blackout icon and it makes only my laptops display go black (with a small white text logo flashing slowly in the center). When I move my mouse back to my laptops screen and click, the screen comes back alive.
This is really great because I can type or click away on the external display but the blackout display on my notebook won't wake up until I move back to it. Only bug seems to be that after you activate Blackout and then wake up your screen, Blackout stays on the Taskbar but you can just right click and close it or use it again later to put the screen right back to sleep.
Only other option I'm toying with is UltraMon as the developer has given me instructions on installing the UltraMon screensaver in order to do some of what I'd like. So I'll see how that works out. I've been using UltraMon as well as DisplayFusion and even though DF seems to have more fans, I seem to favor UltraMon; will report back on all that later once I've made up my mind after more testing and tweaking.

Community Network Infrastructure. High and low technology for social libertarian (r)evolution.
We build anarchist cooperative manufacturing sector!
"Community Network Infrastructure", that is part of our name, has double meaning.
Infrastructure networks — all "life-supporting" systems — are vital for every community. Not only as a tool, but also as part of liberatory technology. The way they are designed, developed, deployed and maintained shapes the way they are used and the way community grows around them. As a feedback, it also shapes the liberatory technology community, people who cultivate technology for betterment of social life.
Community (confederate) networks are the social model we advocate and provide infrastructure for. We believe that every community has fundamental right to govern itself internally, as it's members wish to. Among communities, there should be communication, cooperation and coexistence, even if their internal models vary and disagree.
All CNI work is focused on this intersection. We aim to compile, test and deploy standardized solutions for independent communities. We aim to develop an inter-community model network, to support confederate approach. And we aim to build our cooperative community to be an exemplary member of such confederation.
Internally, we are trying to create a new standard for technology teams, going beyond the charity/volunteering/non-profit model. The goal is to create a sustainable long-term work-frame, letting tech people move permanently into the solidarity economy.
In broader context, the CNI project is a part of the "Walkaway Economy", inspired by Cory Doctorow's book "Walkaway". On a practical level, it will be connected with the FairCoop system of cooperatives, using FairCoin cryptocurrency, designed specifically for this kind of post-capitalist ventures.

The United States Air Force needs to replace approximately 500 of its aging KC-135 aerial refuellers with a smaller number of new multi-role tanker/transport aircraft. It will do so via a series of staggered contracts—KC-X, KC-Y and KC-Z—over a period of 40 years. The KC-X contract will replace 179 of USAF's oldest KC-135E Stratotankers; prime contenders are the EADS/Northrop Grumman KC-30 (based on the civilian A330), and the Boeing KC-767 (based on the civilian 767).
The KC-30 is a larger aircraft with greater fuel and payload capacity. The KC-30 has already been selected by Australia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to fulfil their air refuelling/air mobility needs. The KC-767 is a smaller but more efficient aircraft—efficiencies such as 24% less fuel burn being derived primarily from its lesser weight. The KC-767 has been selected for use by the air forces of Italy and Japan.
I had read in several magazines that Boeing had considered and rejected plans to offer a tanker conversion based on its highly-successful 777, which is a closer match to the KC-30's capabilities. But I could not unearth the reason why. This AFA Daily Report offers some explanation:
Less is More?: Countering claims by KC-X rival Northrop Grumman-EADS North America that "bigger is better," a Boeing official reminded reporters on Friday that USAF tankers rarely fly with a full load of fuel and fly with considerably less than a full load from high-altitude runways on hot days, so fuel capacity isn't a big discriminator in the competition for a new aerial tanker. Boeing claims that its KC-767 is more fuel-efficient than the much-larger KC-30, if only because it weighs far less. The Boeing official, who asked to remain nameless, also discounted the cargo-hauling aspect of the competition, saying that USAF only flies tankers as cargo planes one percent of the time, and the KC-767 can carry 19 pallets, one more than the C-17. Boeing considered offering a tanker variant of its 777 airliner, but decided there was no competitive payback for the extra size. The official said a KC-777, or something like it, may be a player in the KC-Y competition circa 2020, because USAF will have to replace its larger KC-10s in that procurement. Air Mobility Command made a case earlier this year for ensuring the KC-X can perform in both refueling and cargo-hauling capacities.
— Daily Report, Air Force Association, September 17th, 2007.
[emphasis mine]
Let me see if I understand the dynamics correctly. The USAF says it wants fewer, higher-capacity tankers to replace its 500-strong KC-135 fleet . EADS/NG respond with the KC-30, a larger bird with great fuel/payload capacity, higher MTOW, etc. Boeing responds with the KC-767, a slightly larger bird with KC-135-equivalent fuel capacity and a minor increase in cargo capacity. The KC-30's greatest strength is capacity and airframe room for future growth. The KC-767's greatest strength is its efficiency and reduced fuel costs over the life of the airframe.
If Boeing and EADS were car dealerships, EADS would have sold the customer exactly what they asked for: a pickup truck with increased payload and multi-role capability.
Boeing would have asked the customer a variety of questions about their current car, driving habits, average use, and deduced that the customer was asking for capabilities they would never use. Boeing tries to sell the customer a fuel-efficient midsized sedan, arguing that the desired capabilities are at massive variance with the customer's current usage profile.
Does the customer buy Boeing's interpretation and adjust their expectations? Or do they get pissed off and go to the guy who sells them what they want, whether or not they are likely to use its full capabilities?
It'll be interesting to see who ends up winning the KC-X contract.
UPDATE: Now we have an answer. Boeing's approach was stupid, after all.

Campus Life
Being a part of The Oakridge School is like being part of a family. Throughout the school year, events and traditions bring this family together – from current students and staff to alumni, grandparents, and friends.
The Family Picnic kicks off the school year, and everyone looks forward to Sprit Week, the Homecoming Parade, and Homecoming football game in the fall. The Owlfest Halloween carnival is filled with lots of fun for younger Owls, and Grandparents' and Grandfriends' Day brings loved ones to campus for all ages.
In the spring, kindergarten students make an important journey to the Lower School building at the special Walk to the Future event (watch a video below). Friendly competition between classes marks the Field Day festivities, and the Oakridge graduation ceremony is a special day to celebrate all that the seniors have accomplished.

Did dev know cursor didn't correspond to correct map grid?
FD_Stalker posted a topic in General DiscussionMy resolution is 1440x900, and the cursor did not touch the correct map grid since v10 everytime I click on the map, for example I want to mark something, it will land on the top right area of my cursor, and bottom grid info isn't correct either

Add switch seat button in vehicle
FD_Stalker posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsSome people might ask why do we need a switch seat button when we already have F1-F10, the answer is: VIP seat Russian BTR had a F10 VIP seat outside of vehicle, if more than 10 people get on BTR, more VIP seats would show up. If you sit outside you can enjoy the speed and beautiful nature, relaxing... After A10 regular BTR's VIP seat disappeared, only 30 BTR's VIP seat still exists I strongly suggest devs add a seat switching button for vehicle.

Bipod animation order doesn't make sense
FD_Stalker replied to doubleDizz's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsYeah, basically this is an unfinished feature that requires a lot of adjustment.... with many other unfinished animations but this is v10.0 so you can't expect a hot fresh hodgepodge coming up perfectly without a patch. At least they fixed some bugs during winter. For bipod I think RO2 had the best bipod animations: Reload in cover with bipod on, at least character tried to hide his head; Crawling with bipod on, would not cancel the bipod mode; Hold crouch would take cover in bipod mode until you release, really useful
Remove the "focus" ability (with video)
FD_Stalker replied to imonoz's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI'm sorry too but your topic and first paragraph description mislead me so much that I didn't even bother to read further and watch the video. If you were not talking about removing the zoom-in focus then you got me. As for steady aiming while focused I don't mind that much because I'm a good shooter in any fps game, however I don't think steady aim & control breath is op since in real world it's a basic technique for any soldier. In some country rookies need to raise and hold the gun for hour with bricks tied on it. Also shooting targets after strenuous running is always a test topic in modern army.
Can't downrange with my reload binding
FD_Stalker replied to krymz's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsFelt v10 is still an experiment even we had a pre-experiment around christmas. This thing definitely gonna change
As long as the weapon model is not a solid obj, problem exist for sure
FD_Stalker replied to FD_Stalker's topic in Feedback & Suggestionsexactly
The focus makes you a superhuman
FD_Stalker replied to Roskie's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsAgain I try not to insult op in this thread. But clearly op and his fake realistic fans failed to realize how powerful the human eyes are, in the REAL WORLD. Our eyes are limited by screen, but outside of screen you can see much farther. The over powered zoom in you claimed is just a minor patch for the limitation of machine.
Remove the "focus" ability (with video)
FD_Stalker replied to imonoz's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI try not to insult op but consider the real world marksman killing record WITHOUT scope, and..... how about dev posting a vote to see if we keep the currently iron sight aim or remove/ nerf it Because right now as an 19'' monitor player I totally got pissed by op's trash talk. Also the vote should be done in steam discussion if dev can, because, gods know how many weird opinions had been discussed in this forum without letting most squad players know, and later it's the devs who take the blame...
As long as the weapon model is not a solid obj, problem exist for sure
FD_Stalker posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsIn the past we argued about how weapon especially gun barrel stuck in the cover during gun fight, causing annoying unrealistic disadvantage by shooting into the cover you hide. You dev tried to apply a quick fix by adding an animation of holding down the handheld weapon, it works for a very tiny part but actually not very helpful. As long as the weapon model is not a solid obj, problem exist for sure. A perfect example is in weapon range, your m4 gun barrel could sink into the trash bin , sandbag, wooden sign, almost anything that your character posture currently allowed. This problem could only be fixed by making the weapon model into a solid obj, not just character's hand
Have been crashed entire morning
FD_Stalker posted a topic in Software SupportFirst if I run squad the game crashed with report and logs I will show later. Then if I click send report and restart I get into the game with "EasyAntiCheat Error: Failed to creat IGameClient instance! Check that the game was run from the correct launcher. Online play may not be available." This is something never happened on me before but it happens now, even I could play the game yesterday.

In the morning when I wake up the first thing I eat is fruit. It doesn't matter what day of the week it is, I always have fruit before I eat anything else. I just feel like it gets my stomach ready for actual food. It's an easy way to get my stomach ready for the day. Does anyone else like to eat fruit first thing in the morning? Am I a complete weirdo!?
Once I have my fruit, then depending on what day of the week it is I'll either have a granola bar if it's a week day or something more complicated on the weekend.
We made this peach syrup one weekend and ate it with pancakes. I made an exception to eat my fruit with my pancakes and let me tell you that it was worth is to break my habit for this. It is definitely living on the wild side though! Try this at your own risk!
It's so simple to make this though and you only need 2 ingredients so if you are looking for a fresh pancake topping. I used white and yellow peaches because that's what I had on hand, but you can use whichever you like!
Peach Syrup
Yields – 4 servings
Prep time – 5 minutes
Wait time – 15 minutes
- 5 sliced peaches
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- Add the sugar and peaches to a large bowl and mix until they are well combined.
- Let the peaches sit in the sugar for 15 minutes before serving so they get all juicy.

A while back, the Zilliqa (ZIL) team announced that they were pushing forward the Mainnet launch from September to late December or early 2019. Their reason was that they needed more time to get everything right before going forward with the launch. True to their words, the Zilliqa team is making moves that are guaranteed to make Zilliqa the most successful platform blockchain once it goes live.
One of the things that the Zilliqa team has done is to beef up the team. They have brought in some of the best brains in technology and business, to help in the development of Zilliqa. The people they have brought in include ex-Google developers, and experienced business development managers of global repute. Take Sophia Fang for example. Sophia is joining Zilliqa as vice president for business development with a focus on the Chinese market. Sophia has in the past been involved with technology rollouts for multinational corporations.
This means that she has a good understanding of how to derive consumer value from new technologies. With such strengths, chances are that most of the #BuildonZIl applications, will be "killer apps" that will put Zilliqa on the map, as the best Dapps platform once it launches it Mainnet.
The Zilliqa (ZIL) team is also ramping up on marketing ahead of the Mainnet launch. The team understands the importance of getting the project out there for people to know about its potential. All through the month of September, Zilliqa will be involved in a series of events that will create more awareness about the power of the Zilliqa blockchain. For instance, Zilliqa will take part in the Dezentral event that will take place on the 6th of September in Berlin Germany.
Dezentral will bring together more than 800 people, including developers and crypto investors, to brainstorm on different issues with regards to blockchain technology, including the latest developments in the industry. Through this event, where the Zilliqa CEO XinShu Dong will be speaking, more people will know about Zilliqa and what's it's all about as it approaches the Mainnet launch date. This together with several other key events will play a huge role in driving up momentum towards the Zilliqa Mainnet launch.
The team is also working on some key tech updates ahead of the Mainnet. One of the most interesting updates is designing Sharding friendly smart contracts. Once it is finalized, this will enable complex smart contracts to run without any issues on the network. It's one of the biggest aspects to the Zilliqa project, one that will see the Zilliqa blockchain gain wide adoption in business, especially for businesses looking to adopt blockchain technology for complex operations.
With all these developments, there is no doubt that the Zilliqa Mainnet launch will be a huge success for investors, since it will mark the beginning of a superior platforms blockchain that is unrivalled in the market. Besides, since the Mainnet launch could happen in early 2019, chances are that it could coincide with a bullish tide in the crypto markets, and this will accelerate Zilliqa (ZIL) to rise in value.

Employee stress and overwhelm can have detrimental effect on an organization.Science shows that laughter, humour, and play are proven stress busters, and when your employees are happy, everyone feels better.
When morale is low, it can result in poor health, compromised inter-personal relationships, low levels of customer service and reduced productivity – all of which affect your bottom line.

Please see this thread for reference
How can I scan using nmap and Zenmap all hostnames that begin with a particular string?
One of the answers in the thread above uses the following query (I take no credit at all for the command):
nmap -sL -oG - 192.168.0.0/24 | awk '$3~/^(org/{print $2}' | nmap -iL -`
It scans all nodes for hostnames starting with org and returns a list of matching nodes.
It works great in a Unix/Linux environment, but I need an equivalent for Windows. I'd prefer not to use awk, sed, or grep packages for Windows. I'd like to maintain a standard and use PowerShell and/or Perl.
Is there an equivalent way to construct this query using PowerShell and/or Perl, along with nmap?

Chiesa di Sant'Alò en - Chiesa di Sant'Alò en
Asset Publisher
The Chiesa di Sant'Alò church is found on Via Sant'Alò, a side street off Via XI Febbraio in Terni. The name of the church comes from Aloysius (Eligius), the patron saint of goldsmiths and blacksmiths.
Following tradition, it was built over an ancient building devoted to Cybele, towards the end of the 11th century. The church belonged first to the Augustinians, then to the Franciscans and later to the Knights of Malta.
In the 14th century, a house was built on the front of the church, completely covering the Romanesque façade, after which point the church was accessed from the right side.
The exterior, which has no façade, displays some preserved sculpted elements such as the two lions positioned on either side of the entrance steps which date from the Roman era as well as the floral decoration dating from the Early Middle Ages.
The interior of the church has a basilica-like structure with a nave and side aisles interspersed with alternating pillars and columns made from restored materials and topped with capitals. The side aisles have barrel vaulted ceilings, while the central nave, which is more spacious with higher ceilings, has exposed beams. The semi-circular apse, which is divided into five sections by half-columns has a domed ceiling and is decorated with frescoes which were painted in the 12th and 16th centuries.

Product Overview
The CX is an upgrade of the Camon C9 and the latest smartphone from TECNO Mobile's range of camera-centric smartphones. The naming of the smartphone is awesome. Most had expected the smartphone to be named the Camon 10 but the choice of its roman number equivalent for 10, i.e X, was a fantastic branding move since it gives the smartphone a fresh appeal.
Advanced Optic Engineering
You get a 16 MP camera as the rear camera and an identical 16 MP camera as the front-facing camera. The front-facing camera promises high-quality selfies though a number of additional features included in the camera. For starters the selfie camera has a zero lag shutter and thus excellent for shooting people/object in motion. In addition to this, the selfie camera uses 4-in-one tech to capture four images and use software to select the optimal photo.
Distinctive Features
The Tecno Camon CX comes with a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a 1920 x 1080 Pixels resolution. The profile is identical to that to the Camon C9. The Camon CX comes with a 2.5D display, up from the 2D display found on the Camon C9. The TECNO Camon CX has a fantastic design. The smartphone has an all-metal construction and the focus of the design being on the 7.75 svelte profile (the CX is 5.66mm thin at its thinnest part).
Superior Performance
A 1.5GHz Octa-Core MT6750T chipset powers the Camon CX. This is coupled with 2 GB RAM for seamless operation. The Tecno CX comes with 16 GB of internal storage, which is disappointing considering that 32 GB internal storage is the standard for most smartphones. I had expected the smartphone to come with at least that capacity. It is however great that the Camon CX comes with a micro-SD slot that can handle up to 128 GB of memory.
Reliable Battery
A Li-Polymer 3200mAh battery powers the Camon CX. The capacity is a 200mAh more than what was offered with the Camon C9.
General Specifications
- 1.5GHz Octa-Core MT6750T
- Android 7.0 HiOS 2.0
- 3200mAh battery
Order the TECNO Camon CX today and have it delivered to your doorstep within 1-3 working days or same day delivery within Nairobi. Payment on delivery.

Pictures anyone?
Anyone know the whereabouts of the pictures taken at the installfest?
We had a pretty good turnout for the installfest last Saturday, and I know we had some pictures taken. I'd like to post some of them up on the ol' web site. If you know or have some of them, please email them to me so I can get them posted. Thanks, -- Lesh
Re: Pictures anyone?
The pictures have been resized to 1024x768 (originals were 2048x1536 - sorry!)
Re: Pictures anyone?
Re: Pictures anyone?
I've got 26 from my digital camera plus a CD-R full of the other pics that were taken - I was going to put them up on installfest.cinlug.org but we can put them up on the main site if that's desired. I've got some of the pics up now but I'm still configuring the thumbnail software so I haven't publicized the gallery yet.

A local bank manager appeared on the popular game show "Wheel of Fortune" on Tuesday, taking home the top prize.
Carol Waddle, a senior vice president for Signature Bank of Arkansas in Fayetteville, identified the Pacific island of BORA BORA in the bonus round to win a MINI Cooper Convertible worth $31,300. She took home a total of $52,980 after beating out two other contestants to appear in the bonus round.
Waddle held a watch party at the Foghorn's sports bar on Green Acres Road in Fayetteville with friends and family who showed support. She said she recorded the show three months in advance of Tuesday's showing.
"It was lots of fun, but it was nerve-racking," she told 5NEWS at the watch party. "It was a great experience."

Detail :: Data Jembatan
Jembatan Perrine
The I. B. Perrine Bridge at Twin Falls, Idaho, United States, is a truss arch four-lane bridge carrying U.S. Highway 93 over the Snake River Canyon. Perrine Bridge is approximately 1,500 feet (457 m) long and 486 feet (148 m) above the Snake River. The elevation of the road deck is approximately 3,600 feet (1,097 m) above sea level. The bridge serves as the Twin Falls area's main link to Jerome County and Interstate 84.
Originally named the Twin Falls-Jerome Intercounty Bridge, a steel cantilever bridge was opened to traffic in September 1927, and at the time, was the highest bridge in the world. The privately financed $650,000 structure was originally a toll bridge, but the tolls were eliminated in 1940 after the bridge was purchased by the state of Idaho.
By the early 1970s, the original bridge was outdated and unable to handle heavy loads and required replacement. Construction on the current bridge began in May 1973 [2] and was completed in July 1976 at a cost of $9,700,000, and the original cantilever bridge to the west was disassembled.
The bridge is named for I. B. Perrine, who spearheaded the early 20th century irrigation projects in the Magic Valley region and is largely credited as the main founder of Twin Falls.

More from Wednesday Night
In spite of recording over 100 moths from 40+ species yesterday morning (which is good for Maenol!) only three others were FFYs: Eyed Hawk-moth, Wormwood Pug, and Celypha striana.
There was one other, a non-descript, brown micro that someone might recognise in spite of the apparent lack of strong distinguishing features. My best guess is that it's a Gelechid, possibly a Bryotropha sp.
I also get several of these tiny silvery moths every time I use the MV trap. I don't suppose they're identifiable (Coleophora sp.?) but someone might be familiar with it:
2 comments:
I think that looks fine for Bryotropha terrella Chris.ReplyDelete
The Coleophora is one of the rush feeders - perhaps alticolella but would need a closer look to be sure.
Thank you very much George, I was beginning to think that my plea for help was falling on closed eyes! I guess the Coleophora will remain unspecified, I might have to sacrifice one in future in case a 'closer look' can be managed at some future time. My camera's not able to get any closer.ReplyDelete

|High lama of the Gelug sect of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism teaches (dalailama.com)
The Lincoln Center Theater will premiere Sarah Ruhl's new play "The Oldest Boy" this fall. The production, directed by Rebecca Taichman, will begin previews on Oct. 16, 2014 and open on Nov. 10 in the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street). In it, Tenzin, the toddler son of an American woman and a Tibetan man, is recognized as the incarnation (tulku) of a high Buddhist teacher. Differing cultures contend with competing ideas of faith and love [as they did in Hollywood's "Little Buddha"] when two Buddhist monks seek permission to take Tenzin to a monastery in India to begin his training as a spiritual master. His parents must decide whether to send their young son away or keep at him home. More

Cosmic Awareness via Will Berlinghof ~ Maintain The Sacred Neutrality
Posted Angela Newberry, 04/20/2016
That which is Cosmic Awareness is available. Please Joan, proceed.
Thank you, and welcome Awareness to the April 10, 2016 Rainbow-Phoenix Membership session. Will Berlinghof is the Voice of Cosmic Awareness, Joan Mills the Energizer and Questioner. Do you have an opening message or any event you would like to discuss please at this time?
That this Awareness would say that at this time, many energies are occurring and that it is a time of instability and unsettlement, and that this is a continuance of the energies this Awareness was speaking of last month, the month of March, and even before March.
That this is a very powerful time indeed, and can create great havoc in the world, but it can also create great havoc in one's own country or nation, in one's own region, and most definitely in one's own life.
Therefore if it is the case for each who is having a difficult time of it, where it is unsettled and demanding, that this Awareness would ask all to remember the importance of sacred neutrality at this time, of finding a way of not being drawn into the negative energies that are pummeling the planet, that are being focused and directed by certain ones who have an agenda.
This in particular to world events and national events, and that it is easy to get caught up in the events and to get caught up in the terror of things, especially if there are events that might come down in the next while, that will produce great terror and great angst and great fear.
That no matter what comes down, that one must stay neutral, must step into that which is the sacred neutral, for this is that which could also be understood to be the 'eye in the center of the hurricane', and as these energies swirl around you, storm around you, on the many layers and levels that they can express themselves, that by staying in the eye of the hurricane, in the center of your being, by maintaining sacred neutrality without judging the right or wrong of ones who are embroiled in actions, that you may not see as justified, or correct.
That nonetheless, to stay in the eye of the hurricane in your sacred neutrality will provide for you the means by which to get through these difficult unsettled energies that are very much percolating at this time, that are erupting at this time.
Of course for those who are not having such experiences, where things are even for them, and life is not havoc and chaos, that this Awareness would say that you are managing it, you are in the eye of the hurricane, in the center of your being, and that you are maintaining your understanding of the sacred neutrality, and this is that which you can show others, simply by being in that balanced place, in that place where you are not in fear or angst.
That ones who achieve this, that ones who are in such a state are visible to others who are in such a state, so do not be surprised if there will come to you those who would ask you, how are you maintaining such calmness, such stability, such positiveness.
Take this then as an opportunity for those who are in that place of balance and harmony and positivity, where you see the deeper picture and not simply the contributing factors of that picture, the small details that are being manipulated.
Use your position to share with others how you view things, how you understand things and how you hold things. You do not need to step upon a soap box; you do not need to force others to see it your way. But, if asked by those who are seeing that you are in a place of stability and balance, simply speak from your heart, the truth of your being and how you see things and how you live your life.
That this too is that which at this time of great instability can occur, many are beginning to awaken, indeed, it is the storm itself that is shaking them awake, and this is an opportunity, both for one's own personal growth and development, to reach that place of stability and balance, as well as being the opportunity for those who live in that point, that center point, to share with others: how they see things, how they feel things, how they believe and what they know.
Most of all, during these weeks and months, remember that no matter what happens, it is all a journey. It is all an adventure, and that you have chosen this adventure, you have come into the experience of a lifetime, and in that choice, you have the capacity to view it, either as a chaotic journey full of havoc and destruction, upheaval and despair, or from a higher point where because you chose it.
There must be a reason why you chose it and that you know from that higher point of your being you are here to go through this and help calm the waters and assist the many who are being pushed against the wall so brutally at this time, but who, by being pushed against the wall are now ready to ask questions, and to change their point of view.
These are exciting times, these are generous times, these are times of Great Spirit coming through to that which is the collective. You are part of the collective, but you are also an expression of Great Spirit, of Divine Source, of that highest conception of that which is your multi-dimensionality, and as a multi-dimensional spiritual being, having an experience of a lifetime, that this Awareness says to one and all, enjoy the journey, enjoy the trip, hold it to be the adventure you have always wished for and live your life as if it is so, for it is indeed so.
That this does complete the Opening Message.
Thank you, it was wonderful, very inspiring, very much appreciated. Thank you.

(This post is my 500th post on this blog! I would've never thought that it would grow this big, but God is good and has allowed me to do this. I pray that you are all finding some bit of wisdom and knowledge that He has given me while I have been writing here. This knowledge comes from the Bible and from the wisdom that God has given me. I never would nor could I come up with these ideas or writings without His influence. Thank you for being here with me.)
I know, I have asked this before but it seems that our world and the people in it are more like this than they are whole and happy. We have more shootings and killings over nothing these days than we have ever had in the past fifty years. I know, there were many senseless killings during the time when our country was still divided by race relations but isn't that what we are seeing today? It seems that there is so many problems with race relations, particularly in the past ten years or so. I thought that we were past this! What happened to the so-called "age of Aquarius" that was supposed to take over when the new millennium began? What became of the racial equality and tolerance that was supposed to be part of our culture when we elected an African-American President?
Our country and the culture that we once enjoyed has become cracked and broken, but there seems to be nobody who has a clue how to fix this mess! Any ideas?
My only idea is that we need to bring God and the Bible back into our cultural world. In the schools, in businesses, in society and especially in our homes! If we don't repent of our ways, and turn back to God and ask for His forgiveness for all of the atrocities that we have allowed to happen in the past fifty years, then this country and the world itself is headed for a big wake up one day.
I am not going to try to bring this post up to a sermon level, but I do want anyone who reads this to think about what you can do to make this happen. In your church or community or your state even. If we don't get started, and we should have done this many years ago, then we have gone too far to be able to turn back. Mostly what we can do is to seek God out in His Word and in prayer. We can also try to get others involved in putting the Bible and prayer back into our schools.
Individually, we can pray and seek Him out in the Bible and at church or in home Bible study. God wants to have a relationship with you and me, but He will not force this relationship on us.We have to initiate the contact by seeking Him out and learning more about Him. Occasionally, you will feel a prompting from Him or rather the Holy Spirit and that is Him calling to you. If you have felt it, but have ignored it please seek Him out! He will keep the contact and the prompting going for a while, but at some point He will let you go your own way. Don't wait until that point. If you can feel even the smallest voice or nudge to come to know Him please do so!

n Acta Germanica : German Studies in Africa - Vom Alten Wien in die Moderne
Zu den ästhetischen Verfahren Veza Canettis am Beispiel des Romans Die Gelbe Straße und der Dramen Der Oger und Der Tiger
Contemplating aesthetic processes by Veza Canetti in reference to her novel Die gelbe Straße and her plays Der Oger and Der Tiger
Veza Canetti is an author still to be rediscovered despite the growing number of studies and monographs focussing on her work. Her texts - or what remained after a probable auto-dafé - were published only in the 1990's. The article undertakes a deep reading of two plays, deriving from the respective chapters of the novel Die Gelbe Straße. Both plays are being read as antipodic yet inextricably linked searches for modern literary expression. Der Tiger as a poetological comment on the tragedy Der Oger in this perspective gains an aesthetic value in itself. The almost utopian credo in art and eros is quite the opposite to the comedown" Preece wanted to see in this carnevalesque play in the ironic, yet often subversive tradition of the Wiener Lustspiel.

COVID-19 UK: In these difficult times, Monitor Audio products will still be available through our partner webstores. Click here to use our retailer finder.
Posted in: Reviews
US based Hi-Fi magazine Stereophile offers authoritative reviews, informed recommendations, helpful advice, and controversial opinions across the publication so when the Silver RX6s came up for review we were ready and pleasantly pleased with the results. Read the detailed review in the current June 2012 issue. Here's a few snippets:
"Through the Silver RX6s there was a real sense of instruments popping out of nowhere to rest on a bed of air in a deep, wide concert hall."
"The Monitor's high-frequency reproduction enabled perfect integration of the fundamentals and harmonics of the trumpet; Wynton Marsalis's instrument on his Levee Low Moan (CD, Columbia CK 47075) was startlingly realistic: The Monitor's integration of the horn's dynamic envelope, timbre, and harmonics inspired me to scribble in my notes: "That's a trumpet!"
"The RX6's high-frequency purity nicely dovetailed with its perfect rendition of crisp, clean, fast transients on recordings with percussive content."
"It was an ideal match for every type of music, from delicate female voices and jazz trios to bombastic orchestral and electronic rock music. And its small footprint, attractive but unassuming appearance, and clean, extended bass performance make it an ideal home-theater speaker: one that obviates the need for a subwoofer."
"I can't think of another affordable speaker that better meets such a broad range of needs."
Robert J. Reina. Stereophile, June 2012

New Delhi: The BJP completed 35 happy years of its new version. The old mass mergers and isolation in the previous editions BJP, after that new version was discharged in 6th April 1980. Atal Bihar Vajpayee became the founding president of the BJP political party and LK Advani the second most important leader of the party, which was also designated the leader of the opposition in the Rajya Sabha. But BJP leaders did not even formally invite the craftsman Advani in this success party.
However, several major party leaders were present at the event, Advani was not present. The party chairman Amit Shah, senior leader Venkaiah Naidu and Thawar Chand Gehlot attended the latter program.
The BJP party had miseries organizing their last address in Bagluru because of Advani's attendance. His guidance is usually addressed to the party, but this tradition has been broken. It is said to be due to Advani's health issues from the past few days.
In his address to the Prime Minister LK Advani, Narendra Modi, was full of praise and said that his party got this far on the path is defined. Although the executive they are silent.
It was in news that Advani made every possible effort to prevent Modi becoming the PM of India (in the last few elections) but shortly he got evicted from the decisive role. As well as former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Murli Manohar Joshi was discharged from the decision-making board. They later put into 'guide board members' who served to put in the work of the party to suggest, however, opposition parties keep saying that senior BJP leaders have put in the retirement home.
In the early days of starting the Bhartiya Janta Party, the community members have good times together leading the nation and fighting with other opposition parties. It took a new shape with its progress in the 20th and 21st century, when Congress started winning elections. Now, though, Modi has become the PM, the entire party seeing good times, whether it is ministers, MLAs or PM it.

Phillip Island FAQs
Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park is home to many common and rare Australian animals including kangaroos, wombats, emus and Tasmanian Devils (and many, many more). The kangaroos and wallabies can be fed with food purchased from Moonlit Sanctuary's counter.
Please do not feed any animals inside enclosed areas!
Koala handling is not included on this tour. You will, however, still see these furry little guys in their habitats at Moonlit Sanctuary. From here, you will also be able to take photos of them munching away on eucalyptus or sleeping throughout the day!
Photos are permitted at all locations except the Phillip Island Penguin Parade.
Penguins' eyes are very sensitive, and any bright or sudden flashes can frighten them. Please do not use cameras of any kind including phones and camcorders at any time during your visit to the Penguin Parade.
Over the many years that we have operated to this destination, only a very small proportion of our guests have expressed interest in swimming during the tour. However, if you're keen to have a dip, this is possible at Brighton Beach, as well as at the town of Cowes (when we visit here in the summer months).
Please note that we do not make any special "swimming stops" so if you're keen to have a swim you'll need to do this in the available time, rather than expecting time to be allocated for this purpose. We also note that changing facilities are not available, so you will want to keep this in mind if planning to enter the water at all.
We do not include meals on this tour, but there are opportunities to purchase meals at appropriate times throughout the day. Guests are also welcome to bring food with them if they prefer.
As the time that the penguins arrive on the beach changes significantly during the course of the year, our return time to Melbourne also varies significantly.
On an indicative basis, this tour returns to Melbourne at approximately the following times:
- Nov – Feb midnight
- March 11.00pm
- April 10.00pm
- May – Aug 9.00pm
- September 9.30pm
- October 10.30pm
General FAQs
Go West Tours does not support usage of single-use water bottles. Being an eco-certified company, we feel a strong responsibility to act as environmentally friendly as possible. Plastics are a huge problem in Australia, particularly in our oceans. By bringing your own water bottle, you are helping make Australia a cleaner country!
Please check the weather forecast the morning of your tour and dress accordingly. Keep in mind the area to which you are travelling as it can be very different from Melbourne city. During the summer months, please be sure to bring a hat, drinking water & sunscreen.
Please check the weather forecast the morning of your tour and dress accordingly. Keep in mind the area to which you are travelling as it can be very different from Melbourne city.

Bar Stars: Jessica Maria, Hotsy Totsy
Head to the office, mix up a drink, pose for a photo shoot, then leave early to have a baby?
All in a day's work for Jessica Maria.
The co-owner and lead bartender of Albany's Hotsy Totsy Club added "mom" to her resume Thursday, the day after our 2012 Bar Stars gathered at the Totsy for their photo spread.
Her little boy, Rocko Sugarbear Valladares?
"He's going to be the Hotsy Totsy mascot," says Maria's partner, Michael Valladares.
The couple has had plenty to cheer about since taking over Hotsy Totsy in 2009. One of Albany's oldest neighborhood dives, they wanted to, in their own words, "get rid of the dive and keep the neighborhood."
Consider it done.
The Totsy is now a local hub of mixology, a place where classics like Sazeracs and Aviations comingle with Maria's seasonal creations.
The Massachusetts native practically grew up in the restaurant industry. She was 13 when she started working at a local Italian spot. Next came culinary school at Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island, where she worked on the side as a cocktail waitress.
She's been making the Bay Area rounds ever since, managing or bartending at staples like Blake's on Telegraph, the Fillmore and the Warfield. She and Valladares, an Albany native, also opened a bar in Ko Lanta in Thailand from 2003 to 2005.
At Hotsy Totsy, she's put forth a cocktail program that meshes old with new. The Upgrade, for example, is her take on the classic Aviation, using locally produced St. George Terroir gin, Tempus Fugit Liqueur de Violettes and Leopold Bros. maraschino liqueur.
"We want to be an approachable cocktail bar - not so esoteric where everything is a Tibetan lavender honey-infused Chartreuse from wherever," she says.
Maria is also fond of using mezcal and old scotches, which lend a smokiness and depth to drinks.
Last year, she won a local pisco sour competition, earning a trip to Peru with her Urubamba Sour, featuring coca-leaf infused simple syrup and a reduction of chicha morada, the Peruvian corn-based drink.
Yet, for all her accolades, she's most proud of her ability to work the crowd.
"A bartender is like a master of ceremonies," she says. "It doesn't matter how fancy it is, you'll never throw a great party if you don't have a good emcee."
Age: 39
Cocktail style: Adding smoke and depth to classics
Current gig: Co-owner and lead bartender, Hotsy Totsy Club
Backstory: Blake's on Telegraph, the Fillmore, the Warfield, Cesar
Best bar snack: Spicy popcorn
Quote: "I take a lot of pride in the art of being a bartender and knowing how to run a room."
