Allergic reactions are common. They can follow exposure to just about anything, but they usually occur from foods, certain plants, bee stings, or medicines. They are not dose-related— you can have a serious reaction following even a tiny exposure. And you can also develop allergic reactions to things you were not allergic to in the past.
Most allergic reactions result only in an itchy rash and swelling. Occasionally the swelling will become severe when it occurs in locations where there is loose skin, like the area around your eyes or groin. This massive swelling looks bad but is generally not dangerous; it responds well to medical treatment.
Sometimes, however, allergic reactions occur very rapidly and become life-threatening. The main cause of death in these cases is an inability to breathe, because severe swelling has blocked the airways. In addition, there is a collapse in blood pressure from the sudden dilation (expansion) of blood vessels throughout the body. If you exhibit the following symptoms within thirty minutes of exposure to an allergen, then you are in danger of a full-blown allergic reaction and need to get to an emergency room immediately, or need to receive an epinephrine shot on the spot:
Be prepared! If you have had a severe allergic reaction in the past, it may be worse next time. Know the early symptoms of a severe allergy attack so that you can tell if you need immediate life-saving medical treatment. Also, ask your doctor for a home epinephrine kit—it contains a single shot of the drug epinephrine, which you can inject into your muscle.  However, the effects of the shot wear off within a few hours, and you will need to be admitted to an emergency room for observation and/or further treatment.
To prevent allergic reactions, you need to first become familiar with your allergies. Make a record of all allergic reactions you have experienced and what caused them. The following are some of the most common substances to which people are allergic (called allergens):
An allergist is a medical specialist who can help you identify your specific allergies and teach you how you can avoid exposure to them. (In some cases he or she may recommend that you begin getting weekly allergy shots that will help immunize you to your allergies.) Inform any doctors and medical staff involved in your care of all of your allergies, especially if you are allergic to any medications or to the contrast material injected into you during X-ray procedures. Consider purchasing an engraved bracelet listing your allergens; your pharmacist should know where you can obtain one. This may be useful in emergency situations.
There is a rare but potentially fatal ailment called angioedema that presents itself similarly to an allergic reaction. The red light warning signal of this condition is the isolated and painless swelling of a random body part—the tongue, the mouth, a hand or a foot, et cetera—without itching. People who have angioedema can spontaneously develop swelling in the windpipe, cutting off their air supply. These swellings are rare and often occur for no known reason, though they have been occasionally associated with high blood pressure and heart medications known as ACE inhibitors (check with your pharmacist or doctor to determine if any of the medications you are taking fall into this category). Urgent evaluation and treatment of this type of swelling is necessary. (See Tips 170 and 171 about allergies to medications. See Tip 231 for more information on allergies in children.)
People can have reactions to both prescription and over-the-counter medications, including headache pills, aspirin, laxatives, and sinus pills.
Severe allergic reactions to medications are rare, and they usually only occur immediately after starting (or restarting) a medication. In life-threatening situations associated with weakness, shortness of breath, wheezing, vomiting, and/or dizziness, emergency epinephrine shots are necessary.
A skin rash is one of the most common reactions to medication. This type of rash is generally very itchy, and its appearance will vary from patches of small red bumps to hives. It may occur anywhere on the body. It will usually not result in serious complications if the offending medication is stopped soon after the symptoms appear. Contact your doctor immediately so he/she can decide whether it is safe for you to stop the medication and start alternative treatment. Besides helping you to control the situation (and prevent future allergic reactions), he or she can also prescribe treatments to alleviate the rash.
However, while rashes are a common side effect, there are many other possible reactions. For example, another common one is a sore tongue or mouth. Anytime this occurs, it should be considered a reaction to a medication until proven other- wise.
You may also experience stomach irritation in reaction to a medication. This is quite common with over-the-counter pain medicines. Make sure you notify your doctor immediately and stop the medicine, because stomach ulceration can occur and may lead to a life-threatening hemorrhage. (For more on ulcers caused by medication see Tip 100.)
In some cases, symptoms of an allergy to medication may be quite vague, including fatigue, a low-grade fever, and aching all over the body. It may seem like the flu, but if your condition gets worse after a week, it is time to go back to the doctor, because you may have developed a severe toxic effect from the medication.
Many medications can also ultimately cause a severe inflammatory reaction in the kidneys or liver, which could result in kidney failure and/or chemical hepatitis. It is prudent to be on the lookout for this phenomenon when starting a new medication. Always consult your physician immediately if you think a medication is causing any of these reactions.
To further protect yourself, avoid the following bad combinations of these common medications. Do not take any ibuprofen (Advil) if you are currently taking an NSAID [Daypro, Indocin, Ketoprofen, ketorolac (Toradol), meloxicam (Mobic), naprosyn (Aleve)], or if you are on blood thinners, such as Coumadin. Do not take any aspirin while taking Coumadin without first checking with your doctor. Note: In certain cases, low-dose aspirin (81 mgs) can be taken with Coumadin. In addition, review the package insert available from your pharmacist for information on side effects and drug interactions relating to all of the medications you are taking.
This condition is called Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and it can cause a severe allergic reaction that may damage a large area of the skin, causing it to blister and slough off. When this condition develops, seizures, coma, and death can follow, so early diagnosis and treatment are essential. If you develop a rash after starting a medication, get in touch with a doctor (preferably your own physician) immediately.
When Guillain-Barré syndrome develops, the body’s immune system begins to attack its own nerves. The syndrome eventually interrupts the transmission of nerve impulses to the areas of the body controlled by these nerves. This will gradually result in the onset of paralysis in the legs (usually starting from the toes and moving up the body), accompanied by an increased difficulty in breathing. Death may occur if medical treatment is not instituted.
Most people recover with proper treatment, but rehabilitation is lengthy. One form of treatment is plasma-pheresis, a process that cleans the blood of bound antibodies causing these nerve problems. High-dose immunoglobulin therapy (administering proteins that normally attack invading germs) can also help. If this latter procedure is done before the muscles for breathing are affected, it may prevent you from being put on a ventilator.
If the symptoms of Guillain-Barré syndrome occur, see your doctor immediately, or get to an emergency room.

Lionel Messi praises team effort after his goal settles Argentina v Brazil
Both Gabriel Jesus and Messi missed penalties in the game.
Lionel Messi praised Argentina’s work ethic after scoring the winner on his return to international football as Brazil were beaten 1-0 in Riyadh.
The 32-year-old was banned for three months by CONMEBOL after criticising the South American governing body during this summer’s Copa America, both after a semi-final loss to Brazil and a third-place play-off win over Chile in which he was sent off following an altercation with Gary Medel.
However, the Barcelona forward made a triumphant return as he scored the only goal of the game in an international friendly in Saudi Arabia.
“At the beginning we tried to play, we made a few mistakes and they created some chances,” Messi told the Argentinean FA’s official website.
“In the second half we improved a lot.
“I think this system defensively gives us a lot. It’s good that we can play in several ways.
“When you win, you work with peace of mind, it is very positive for what is coming.
“We all ran a lot – it’s what we had to do.”
Gabriel Jesus hit a tame effort straight at Esteban Andrada after seven minutes, but moments later earned a penalty when he was fouled by Leandro Paredes in the area.
The Manchester City striker took the spot-kick, only to fire wide from 12 yards in the 10th minute.
Two minutes later Argentina were awarded a penalty of their own when Messi was tripped by Alex Sandro.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker saved Messi’s spot-kick, but the Barcelona forward was left with a simple task to tap in the rebound.
Messi could have doubled his tally a minute before half-time when he burst clear of the Brazil defence, but Alisson stood firm to save his low effort.
Jesus and Willian both failed to work Andrada as Brazil sought an equaliser after the break, while at the other end Messi’s 66th-minute free-kick had to be tipped over by Alisson.
Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Otamendi both wasted late chances to make the game safe for Argentina, whose win represented a first against their arch rivals for more than two years.
Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni added: “I liked the second half.
“We made changes because we wanted to prepare for the tests that are coming.
“The team responded and played really well.”
Brazil coach Tite felt the game’s deciding spot-kick should not have been awarded.
He told Brazilian media outlet Globo Esporte: “I did not see clearly, I know there were comments that it was not a penalty. For me it was not a penalty.”


Tata Steel plans to cut 3,000 jobs across Europe ‘devastating for workforce’
The company said it wanted to come to terms with a ‘severe’ international steel market, but added there would be no plant closures.
Plans by Tata Steel to cut as many as 3,000 jobs across its European business have been described as a “devastating blow” to the workforce.
The company said it wanted to come to terms with a “severe” international steel market, but added there would be no plant closures.
About two-thirds of the job cuts will be office-based.
Henrik Adam, chief executive of Tata Steel in Europe, said: “We are highlighting important proposals towards building a financially strong and sustainable European business.
“We plan to change how we work together to enable better co-operation and faster decision-making. This will help us become self-sustaining and cash-positive in the face of unprecedented severe market conditions, enabling us to lead the way towards a carbon-neutral future.”
“It leaves steelworkers in great uncertainty as they await more details of any job losses in Wales and particularly at its largest works in Port Talbot.
“The steelworks is the beating heart of our community and any job losses will be felt deeply across Aberavon and the wider region.
“It is very disappointing that the statement issued by Tata Steel today contains so little detail. They refer to an estimated reduction in employee numbers of up to 3,000 across Tata Steel Europe’s operations, about two-thirds of which are expected to be office-based roles, but they provide absolutely no information about where the focus of those job losses will be.
“Tata Steel should remember that these are real people with families to look after, they are not just numbers on a spreadsheet.”
Tata said its plans include a proposed new way of working to boost productivity and reduce bureaucracy as well as a focus on increasing sales of higher-value steel products.

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.
Change is the end result of all true learning.
I think you should learn, of course, and some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up inside of you until it touches everything. And you can feel it inside of you. If you never take time out to let that happen, then you accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you. You can make noise with them, but never really feel anything with them. It's hollow.
Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can, there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.
Share what literature, documentaries, lectures, or other political media you find the most persuasive for or against any ideology or policy. Learn what others believe are the best political works and discuss their importance.
The purpose of politicalWorks is to make political debates easier, by making it clear exactly what views some political supporters find most persuasive, and thus enabling all to understand the essentials of their views much quicker.

When organizations take a strategic view on the career progression of their IT staff, they tend to spend more money training them. The training may be facilitated through external training institutes or channelized through online media. However, beyond a certain point, only experience (and not knowledge) counts. You can acquire the tacit knowledge needed for higher proficiency levels only through your own experience and, to some extent, by learning from the lessons of experienced people in the field. Job rotation is a good tool to get adequate exposure and experience in the field of aspiration. In addition, the enterprise architect should join a community of practice in her interest area.
A rather easy way of job rotation is for architects to spot business analysts and technical developers who would make good architects. These professionals’ intrinsic talent can be sensed by looking at the kind of questions they ask about their projects. For instance, are they curious to know how their solution is going to be used by the business? What benefit it is going to deliver? How is their project linked to other projects? This constant analysis helps elevate or change their roles to make the best use of available (and rather scarce) talent as well as to offer them better exposure to be a good architect.
Another way of job rotation, especially for practicing architects, is to switch position between strategic activities to operational activities at regular intervals (maybe quarterly or semiannually). The balance of strategic and operational experience must be a prerequisite for promotion to the next level.
It is also a best practice, if it is possible, to recruit or depute people from the business side to the IT side, and vice versa. This applies especially to businesspeople with project or program management backgrounds. They can be more easily groomed to acquire technology management expertise. In addition, they bring their business acumen and experience to the IT crowd.
In a similar manner, IT personnel with reasonable business understanding can be deputed into business — as apprentices and ambassadors, especially engaging them in the activities related to process modeling, process analysis, data analysis, business executive training, and so forth. Enterprise architects need to have complete and rounded personalities to be successful. This can only happen if their career progression spans strategy and operation and across business and IT.
Although learning by experience is the best way, it is a rather long process. Learning from others is a reasonable approach, too. There are many ways to facilitate this type of learning. A community of practice consists of a group of people bound together by shared expertise and a passion for a joint mission, working together to foster and develop knowledge. It provides a sense of belonging to the individuals working on different projects and a platform for sharing and developing common competencies.
Evidently, a community of practice requires an economy of scale in terms of opportunities and demands for it in order to become a viable, sustainable, and successful venture. In essence, it is meant to fulfill needs in a specific competency area by proactive provisioning of:
We will look into new avenues of fostering a community culture in the organization in Chapter 8, “Inviting to Participation.”

Further assume the following orderings (why?)
|
| (586) |
and
|
| (587) |
Using these orderings, the order of the terms in Eq. (585) can be estimated as
|
| (588) |
|
| (589) |
|
| (590) |
|
| (591) |
|
| (592) |
|
| (593) |
|
| (594) |
|
| (595) |
|
| (596) |
The leading order (𝜀−2 order) balance is given by the following equation:
|
| (597) |
It is reasonable to assume that Ψ0 is independent of 𝜃 since Ψ0 corresponds to the limit a∕R → 0. (The limit a∕R → 0 can have two cases, one is r → 0, another is R →∞. In the former case, Ψ must be independent of 𝜃 since Ψ should be single-valued. The latter case corresponds to a cylinder, for which it is reasonable (really?) to assume that Ψ0 is independent of 𝜃.) Then Eq. (597) is written
|
| (598) |
(My remarks: The leading order equation (598) does not corresponds strictly to a cylinder equilibrium because the magnetic ﬁeld B = ∇Ψ0 ×∇ϕ + g∇ϕ depends on 𝜃.) The next order (𝜀−1 order) equation is
| R02r+R02−R0cos𝜃 = −μ0R022R 0r cos𝜃P′(Ψ0)−μ0R04P′′(Ψ 0)Ψ1−R02[g′(Ψ 0)g(Ψ0)]′Ψ1 |
|
| (599) |
|
| (600) |
It is obvious that the simple poloidal dependence of cos𝜃 will satisfy the above equation. Therefore, we consider Ψ1 of the form
|
| (601) |
where Δ(r) is a new function to be determined. Substitute this into the Eq. (), we obtain an equation for Δ(r),
|
| (602) |
|
| (603) |
|
| (604) |
|
| (605) |
Using the identity
| = −, |
equation () is written as
|
| (606) |
Using the leading order equation (), we know that the second and fourth term on the l.h.s of the above equation cancel each other, giving
|
| (607) |
|
| (608) |
Using the identity
|
| (609) |
equation (608) is written
|
| (610) |
|
| (611) |
Using
|
| (612) |
equation (611) is written
|
| (613) |
|
| (614) |
which agrees with equation (3.6.7) in Wessson’s book[27].

Only 8% of 26,000 Blockchain Projects Started in 2016 Are Still Active
“Study says that successful projects tend to be developed by organizations, with a high number of committers and copiers”
Research by Deloitte has shown that only 8% of 26,000 blockchain projects started in 2016 are still active. This means that over 20,000 projects are abandoned. The study tracks blockchain projects developed on the software collaboration platform GitHub, a software collaboration platform with more than 68 million projects and 24 million participants.
“Note that about 90 percent of projects developed on GitHub become idle, and the average life span of a project is about one year, with the highest mortality rate occurring within the first six months,” the study said.
The analysis pointed three common traits shared by abandoned projects:
1. Projects are developed by users instead of organizations
From the study: “Projects developed by users tend to have shorter life spans and to be stand-alone blockchain technology applications rather than foundational libraries that enable the creation of multiple applications. We found that users were more prone to tinker, developing and prototyping ideas that often do not gain traction.”
2. Projects have only one committer
Committers develop projects by contributing content. Projects that do not survive often see only one committer generating most of the content, and this sole leader is susceptible to shifting attention to other projects or becoming disinterested at a later stage. Most projects that survive are developed by organizations (see point 1) with multiple committers to divide-and-conquer content.
3. Low number of copiers (forks)
Projects with a low number of copiers tend to fail, as it tends to result in a low number of committers. In contrast, a high number of copiers often contributes to a high survival rate.

PAL Interclub golf returns to Bacolod on March 4 to 7
by Manila Standard SportsBacolod City will host the 73rd Philippine Airlines Interclub and the 34th PAL Seniors golf team championships in February and March next year, according to tournament director Henry Arabelo.
The Men’s Regular team event is set March 4-7, 2020 with Cebu Country Club defending the overall title it won in historic fashion at its home ground last March.
Competing in the second-tier Founders division, Cebu CC amassed 516 points to beat Manila Southwoods by nine points.
It marked only the second time that a team outside the championship division won the Interclub. Veterans Golf Club first did the trick in 1988.
Luisita settled for third, 26 points off the pace.
The Seniors event, on the other hand, will be held February 26-29, 2020 with defending champion Luisita and Canlubang renewing their rivalry.
Last March, Luisita staved off Canlubang’s final round rally to win by three points, collecting 569 points.
It was Luisita’s 17th crown, solidifying its status as the most successful club in the Seniors division.
Arabelo said invitations have been sent to local and foreign clubs.
Venues for both tournaments are the Negros Occidental Golf Country Club, more popularly known as Marapara, and the Bacolod City Golf and Country Club (Binitin).
The PAL Interclub is considered as the country’s premier team tournament that has produced the likes of Ben Arda, Golem Silverio, and Frankie Miñoza, among others.
Through the years, the event has grown in size and stature with the influx of international teams from the United States, the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
Organizers have set aside three days for practice rounds for both the Regular and Seniors tournaments.

One or more of the example topics below. How much can you fit in a week?
A selection of the example topics below. Or one of your own?
A selection of the example topics below. Or what else would you like to do?
A selection of the example topics below. Or maybe all of them?
In all of the five time frames (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 season or 1 year) students can select a combination of specializations (where this selection process itself also is part of the design skills to be developed).
Essentially each time frame is a recursive copy of one of the others.
The difference between is the number of topics that can be addressed and the level of details possible.
A combination of two or more topics from the list below, in combination with process and context selection, gives students a unique personal research environment for development.
Each of these items contains a world of detailed knowledge and design parameters that can be developed with other students who select such a topic. As example, for typography (and with reference to adjacent topics) this next level could contain a selection of:
box = page['Main']['Side']
Sketching is the process of eliminating unwanted options from the tree of all possibilities, without visualizing every single one of them.
Sketching is the process of managing the level of details, throughout the process. One method is reduce the scale of drawings, as the resolution of tools (pencil or screen) automatically will hide irrelevant details.
box = page['Section']['0']
Artifical Intelligence (AI) probably has much influence on any profession in the coming years. How will it influence your design practice? Many models that apply to AI, also work in design. Those parallels can be subject of your study at DesignDesign.Space.
box = page['Section']['1']
Here a comparing set is show of two opposite values. E.g. if a system is “Episodic”, it is possible to reject and correct earlier decisions (as in a design process). If the system is “Sequential”, then the order is fixed (as in a game of chess).
box = page['OtherMain']['Content']
Below some example assignments.
3 posters, similar and different in one series, for a topic of your choice. Assignemnt is how to judge the result and how to select from various judging methods. *How to develop criteria
Painting of color/gray ranges. Sketching with materials, proportions, ratio and contrast.
Although much of your work may have digital outcome, actually making stuff with real materials opens up new directions, other points of view.
One week to fill a 100 page Moleskine sketchbook, design for a specific subject, context or design challenge. The presentation is showing 5 best pages in combination with validation criteria used.
This is the integral assignment for TypeMedia 2017 students at the end of their Master year. They have limited time of 2 weeks to write and design 3 mini-thesis document of one page each. Illustrated and documented.
What is a relevant set of parameters for a poster? And how does interaction play a role in that? What is the design process? How do you test the intermediate result? What needs to happen to guearantee success?
Research models where publications within a corporate identity can have different usage, technique and message, and still visually belong to the same brand. What are parameters and what freedom do designers have later in the process? Which of these parameters need to be documented? And which can be automated?
box = page['OtherMain']['Side']
PageBot is a library of Python classes, that can be used for the automated production of publications. Learning to use PageBot is an optional topic of the DesignDesign.Space study.
Constructing an environment where all disciplines can work together in a non-linear way, is one of the topics of the DesignDesign.Space study.

Returns the first descendant of a layer, or the first child of the Time dimension.
Syntax
OpeningPeriod ( [ layer [,member ]] )
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
A layer specification. If omitted, the first descendant of member is used. If member is omitted, the first child of the Time dimension is assumed. |
|
|
Optional. A member specification. If omitted, the first child of the Time dimension is assumed (for example, Qtr1 in Sample Basic). |
Notes
The return value of this function varies depending on the input.
When no arguments are specified, the input member is assumed to be the current member of the Time dimension, and Openingperiod returns the first child of that member. Do not use this function without arguments if there is no dimension tagged as Time.
When both layer and member arguments are given as input, Openingperiod returns the first descendant of the input member at the input layer. For example, Openingperiod(Year.generations(3), Qtr3) returns Jul. If the input member and layer are the same layer, the output is the input member. For example, Openingperiod(Year.generations(3), Jul) returns Jul.
When only the layer argument is specified, the input member is assumed to be the current member of the dimension used in the layer argument. Openingperiod returns the first descendant of that dimension, at the input layer. For example, Openingperiod(Year.generations(3)) returns Oct.


December 2022 Status Update
Woohoo, the first week of the month, and that means a status update for starbeam.one! ✨🚀
500 Sales! Nearly 150 Flares ($150) in Volume!
We continue our completely organic non-advertising push here to build our market. As expected, this is a slow process but one that helps build confidence in the system at a slow and steady pace.
As this is my first rodeo into the modern market I am OK with taking my time before bringing on new users through financial spending. The users we are drawing in now have been fantastic and true quality members. I am beyond humbled to have them a part of this endeavor. If I could somehow continue doing this without spending any money on marketing I would. Who knows, maybe something will work out and our luck will continue? 🤔🤞
Nonetheless even with our current pace we have already achieved over 500 sales and have generated 150 Flares ($150) of all time volume for our artists! And we are only beginning here. If you’d like to keep up to date with the latest statistics you can see them at any time on our public dashboard (you don’t even need to be signed in!).
What’s New?
I have been spending a lot of time getting artists the features they need to have have a better sales experience. We can now thank our purchasers for each of their purchases or in bulk if they accrue over time. Artists can see who has purchased what from them, potentially establishing a VIP-type system in the future for those that purchase the most from them if/once we put that in place. As such, we have a mini-CRM (customer relationship management) system that is in place for our artists. Now that this is completed, we will be working toward the next step which is premium products (next).
What’s Next?
Right now we are geared towards a “daily stream” which works very well for AI-art and photography. We want to add another “stream” for premium products that are not so often and thus have a higher price point. We’re calling this a Premium Stream at the moment but we’ll probably end up with another name. Essentially, you will start out with 10 Flares ($10) of capacity to issue that out however you see fit (for example: quantity of 5 at 2 Flares) and then have it sit there for sale without a daily commitment or expectation. When you make a sale, your capacity grows so you can sell even more.
We’re also thinking of making it possible to buy capacity, adding on a revenue stream for our growing outfit here. 🤞✌
After that, we want to add on subscriptions to our daily stream so that a constant visit is not necessary for purchasing and supporting our artists. Although we have a few of our collectors that appreciate the experience of visiting and helping out our efforts here on a daily basis. 😊🙏
Once this is complete, we’ll have two ways for artists to generate revenue for themselves: a daily stream which will accept subscriptions and a premium stream for additional content. Artists will be able then to choose the streams that make the most sense (and cents 😏) to them.
Stand-up & Shine (& Shill)
So Premium Streams and Subscriptions. That’s what’s on our plate here. I also have the latest episode of Stand-up & Shine for your viewing here with more details:
I would like to thank everyone for all your support and purchases. It truly means the world to me – and of course, all our artists! I would also like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season. Thank you again for all your amazing contributions towards starbeam.one’s success and until next time, stay bright out there. ✌✨🚀


First they close the Backlot Tour. Then they take down the hat. Then they close the Magic of Disney Animation.
Disney has something cooking behind the scenes at Imagineering. And it is BIG.
According to the Dis Unplugged podcast, Disney is slated to spend close to $3,000,000,0001. That's 3 billion dollars, BILLION, 9 ZEROS.Saying that this is huge is an understatement. Let's do a quick comparison of the most recent park additions in the states.
| Land |
Park |
Cost |
Years to Build |
| Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmede |
Islands of Adventure (Universal Florida) |
$200 million |
2007 - 2010 |
| California Adventure Re-dedication (plus Cars Land) |
California Adventure - Disneyland |
$1.1 billion |
2007 - 2012 |
| New Fantasyland |
Magic Kingdom WDW |
$425 million |
2011 - 2014 |
| Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley |
Universal Studios Florida |
$256 million |
2011 - 2014 |
| Avatarland |
Animal Kingdom WDW |
$500 million |
2014 - 2017 |
| Star Wars/Pixar Lands |
Disney's Hollywood Adventure |
~$3 billion |
201? - 20?? |
My point is, Disney is spending a lot (understatement) on these expansions/revamps while Universal is spending like half of that and is CAPITALIZING BIG TIME. For Disney to invest 3 BILLION dollars on revitalizing the studios, they must have something that they believe will steal all those tourists from Universal/Harry Potter to Disney. And that is:
Star Wars.
Star Wars has been a quintesential part of pop culture for 40+ years now. It has fans that were adults in the 70s, kids in the 70s, and kids that unfortunately grew up with The Phantom Menace (me). Nevertheless, Star Wars is an incredible phenomenon and you can expect Disney to make an announcement of Star Wars Land in some shape or form in the upcoming D23 event in August. There's no better time for Disney to announce something like this than now because of the new trilogy kicking off in December, a slew of announced anthology films and comics, and the new Star Wars Rebels winning the hearts of a new generation of Star Wars fans.
I stumbled upon another article a few weeks ago as to the VAST amount of land that the studios have at its current state. We all know that Lights, Motors, Action! is on its last life and will be going away probably in the next year, the Backlot Tour is closed, and the Streets of America is just kind of there. This area has connection to Star Tours. So there is definitely something going on over there. HOWEVER, this does mean Muppets Vision 3D might be closing its doors and Pizza Planet might be rethemed to a new restaurant, maybe. I'm writing this based on my memory of the park without references, I apologize. That whole area can be used for a Star Wars Land. Now the Backlot Tour connects to Pixar Place and there's already a third track being built in the sound stage right next to Toy Story Mania. So it could also be possible, they're going to do a Pixar Place expansion.
But what about the whole Animation Courtyard area? The Magic of Disney Animation closed a few days ago and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid will probably go soon along with One Man's Dream. This area can be used for Pixar as well. There is a lot of land to work with at the studios.
I'm excited to see what's coming. I loved the Animation Academy. My cousins and I started going there before there was a 2 class wait and you can just draw character after character. So an expansion of that would be EXCELLENT. It is an insanely popular attraction and Disney would be soooooo wrong if they killed it completely.
I will talk more about the expansion as more news roll in.

Mumps outbreak at the College of Charleston
by News DeskBy NewsDesk @infectiousdiseasenews
Officials with the College of Charleston reported an additional eight confirmed mumps cases, bringing the outbreak total at the campus to 51.
School President Andrew T. Hsu said in a Thanksgiving holiday message to the campus community today advising those with active symptoms of mumps or those awaiting the results of a test for mumps to delay any travel plans on common carriers such as airlines and trains and to continue to self-isolate for five days from the onset of symptoms pending confirmation of the diagnosis.
If it is not possible to change plans for commercial travel, and you are experiencing symptoms of mumps, you are advised to wear a mask to prevent the potential spread of mumps from respiratory droplets. Symptoms of mumps include tender swollen glands below the ear and along the jawline on one or both sides of the face and neck, headache, fever, muscle aches, fatigue, loss of appetite, testicular swelling and pelvic pain.

resultSet
static RawSql resultSet(ResultSet resultSet, String... propertyNames)
Create and return a RawSql object based on the resultSet and list of properties the columns in the resultSet map to.The properties listed in the propertyNames must be in the same order as the columns in the resultSet.
-
sqlRow
static SqlRow sqlRow(ResultSet resultSet, String dbTrueValue, boolean binaryOptimizedUUID) throws SQLException
Create and return a SqlRow based on the resultSet with dbTrueValue and binaryOptimizedUUID options.- Throws:
SQLException
-
unparsed
static RawSqlBuilder unparsed(String sql)
Return an unparsed RawSqlBuilder. Unlike a parsed one this query can not be modified - so no additional WHERE or HAVING expressions can be added to this query.
-
parse
static RawSqlBuilder parse(String sql)
Return a RawSqlBuilder parsing the sql.The sql statement will be parsed so that Ebean can determine where it can insert additional WHERE or HAVING expressions.
Additionally the selected columns are parsed to determine the column ordering. This also means additional checks can be made with the column mapping - specifically we can check that all columns are mapped and that correct column names are entered into the mapping.
-
columnMapping
RawSqlBuilder columnMapping(String dbColumn, String propertyName)
Set the mapping of a DB Column to a bean property.For Unparsed SQL the columnMapping MUST be defined in the same order that the columns appear in the SQL statement.
- Parameters:
dbColumn
- the DB column that we are mapping to a bean propertypropertyName
- the bean property that we are mapping the DB column to.
-
columnMappingIgnore
RawSqlBuilder columnMappingIgnore(String dbColumn)
Ignore this DB column. It is not mapped to any bean property.
-
tableAliasMapping
RawSqlBuilder tableAliasMapping(String tableAlias, String path)
Modify any column mappings with the given table alias to have the path prefix.For example modify all mappings with table alias "c" to have the path prefix "customer".
For the "Root type" you don't need to specify a tableAliasMapping.

Fresh peas and mint leaves combine with creamy ricotta to make the filling for these delicious fresh pasta ravioli.
For the pasta, put the flour onto a work surface and make a well in the centre. Beat the eggs and pour the mixture into the well. Using two fingers bring the flour and egg together, working in a circular motion from the centre of the well, until it forms a dough. Knead until smooth.
Cut the dough into four equal pieces. Pass each piece of dough through a pasta machine; start on the widest setting and pass the dough through five times on each setting, moving it one setting at a time up to the narrowest. Repeat for all pieces of the dough. Lay the pasta sheets onto a floured surface and cut out rounds. Leave the pasta on the floured surface covered with a damp cloth until the filling is ready.
For the filling, gently fry the shallots and garlic for a few minutes, add the peas and cook until soft. Take the mixture off the heat and stir in the ricotta, lemon zest and mint and set aside to cool.
Put a teaspoon of the filling onto a pasta circle. Wet the edges of a second pasta circle and carefully place on top. Make sure you get all the air out of the ravioli, or it may cook unevenly or burst open during cooking.
For the butter sauce, cook the pancetta in a hot pan over a medium heat until golden brown.
Put the clarified butter in a small pan, add the cooked pancetta and heat gently to warm through.
Meanwhile, cook the ravioli in boiling water for two minutes. Scoop the cooked ravioli out of the pan with a slotted spoon, and place in a bowl to dry off for a few seconds before draining any excess water from the bowl. Divide the pasta between two serving plates, pour the butter sauce over the pasta, scatter the pea shoots over and serve immediately.


India steamroll Bangladesh in pink test to sweep series
by ReutersUmesh Yadav struck three times as India took less than an hour on day three to complete formalities and bulldoze Bangladesh by an innings and 46 runs in the second and final test for a 2-0 series sweep on Sunday.
Having barely managed to avoid a defeat inside two days, Bangladesh resumed on 152-6, hoping to score another 89 runs to avoid a second successive innings defeat.
But once Mushfiqur Rahim fell for 74, the highest by a Bangladesh batsman in the one-sided match, the game was effectively over for them.
Bangladesh, skittled out for 106 in the first innings, managed 195 in the second as India registered their 12th consecutive home series victory to consolidate their lead in the World Test Championship points table.
Mahmudullah, who retired hurt on Saturday with a hamstring injury, did not come out to bat for Bangladesh.
Umesh claimed 5-53, while Ishant Sharma returned 4-56 to go with his five-wicket haul in the first innings.
Ishant bagged both the man-of-the-match and player-of-the-series awards.
India captain Virat Kohli singled out his pace attack for their sizzling form.
"These guys can take wickets on any surface, be it at home or away," Kohli said.
"They are very hungry and at the top of their game."
India's seventh straight test victory was also their fourth successive innings win.
Bangladesh had to call in two concussion substitutes in the match after Liton Das and Nayeem Hasan sustained nasty blows to their helmets in the first innings.
Mominul Haque made a forgettable debut as Bangladesh's new test captain, scoring a pair of ducks in Kolkata.
"It's very disappointing for everyone including me, we have to learn from this," Mominul said after the drubbing.
"I think the pink ball is different when it's a new ball and it was a little bit challenging."
India had triumphed inside three days in the series opener in Indore.
There was a buzz around India's maiden pink-ball test with near-capacity crowd on the first two days of the contest.
"We didn't think so many would turn up today, given we were in a position to end it early," Kohli said.
"To have so many people witnessing an India win is special."

In our previous post, we have seen examples to become confident enough for getting a grip on linux commands. This is the time now to jump into more advanced topics. Let’s go.
Working with permissions
The word ‘Permission’ typically stands for putting a guard wall while accessing any resource. For example, someone may or may not has permission to access a specific folder (directory) in a computer. It all depend on roles and responsibilities of the users.
In linux, permission to access files and directories is categorized into three levels, these are user, group and others. Let’s see what do they mean when they are in action,
user: this category refers to the owner of the file or directory. Being the owner, user has the highest level of access to the file or directory and an user can modify or delete it.
group: this category refers to a group of users having the same level of access to a file or directory. If a group is assigned a specific permission, then all users within the group are also having same permission.
others: this category refers to all other users who are not the owner or part of the group assigned to the file or directory. These users are having lowest level of access to the file or directory.
There are three specific access types for all users - read, write and execute and these are denoted by r, w and x respectively.
Therefore, for each file, access level is represented by a sequence of nine characters just like below:
Don’t consider the very first character as part of access level string as it just denotes whether the corresponding entity is a file or directory, for file it is shown here as ‘-’ (hyphen) and for directory it will be ‘d’
Now, let’s consider one file e.g. records.txt. For this file,
- the user ‘koushik’ is owner of the file as mentioned and ‘koushik’ has both read and write permission but not the execute permission
- the group has only read permission
- others also have read permission
It is to be noted that, read permission will allow anyone to open and see the file contents only, the file cannot be modified or deleted and it cannot be executed as a program.
Permission in numeric mode
All these three characters i.e. ‘r’, ‘w’ and ‘x’ are also represented by numbers as follows:
- r (read): 4
- w (write): 2
- x (execute): 1
and their sum is expressed as the desired permission for an user. Some examples below will make the concept clear.
- r = 4, w = 2, x = 1
- sum = 7
- the user has read, write and execute permission for the corresponding file
- r = 4, w = 2, x = 0
- sum = 6
- the user has read and write permission only for the corresponding file, but the file cannot be executed as a program
- r = 4, w = 0, x = 1
- sum = 5
- the user has read and execute permission only for the corresponding file, but the file cannot be modified
Assigning or changing permission
When a file is created by an user (as records.txt in the above figure), it has certain level of permission, which is typically
- read and write permission for the user who has created the file
- read only permission for the group
- read only permission for anyone who is either not the owner or doesn’t belong to a certain user group
But, there are situations when as a system adming someone may want to modify the permission level for a file, for a specific user and group.
The command chmod
is used to modify the permission level for a file.
Below are some of the usages of chmod
with explanations
# set execute permission for the user (creator)
chmod u+x records.txt
# set write permission for the group
chmod g+w records.txt
# set full permission for the user, group and others
chmod ugo+rwx records.txt
All these above commands can also be used in numeric mode as well which is easier when you have the permission-number mapping (like r = 4) in your mind,
# set execute permission for the user (creator)
chmod 744 records.txt
# set write permission for the group
chmod 764 records.txt
# set full permission for the user, group and others
chmod 777 records.txt
Note that in the above examples, I have assumed records.txt is already having the permission level as 644 (read and write permission for the user, read only permission for the group and others)
Ownership of a file and directory
In the figure below, if you observe, corresponding to each file, it is written as koushik koushik
. This is denoting the user and group information for the file.
The command chown
is used to allow the ownership info of files and directories to be changed. The word “chown” stands for “change owner.”
Here, “owner” is the username or user ID (a numeric sequence) of the new owner, and “group” is the name or ID (a numeric sequence) of the new group. If no group is specified, the file’s group ownership will not be changed.
The above command will change the ownership of the file to the new_user
who also belongs to new_group
If we want to change ownership of a directory we have to use a flag for chown
command and that is -R
, it denotes changing ownership of all the files and subdirectories within the target directory.
Working with environment variables and paths
Environment variables are like global variables in your program. They are typically static in nature i.e. once they are defined, they are not usually modified.
Such variables can be defined in the terminal using VARIABLE=value
command and they are available only for the current terminal session, once you close the terminal (i.e. kill the current terminal session), they are removed from the memory.
There are situations when you may need to create a permamnet environment variable and this can be achived by putting a command similar to what is given below in the .bashrc
or .bash_profile
file. These files are hidden files (as their names start with a .
) and used for storing lot of configuration parametes.
One can make use of the environment variable using $
operator just like $MY_ENV_VAR
.
Note that, there is no space characters right before and after the =
sign while defining the environment variables.
Just like environment variables, setting up paths is also a very common problem while using any operating system. There is a pre-defined environment variable, PATH
, in all linux based systems, that shows all the typical directory paths where the system searches for any executable.
If someone wants to append a new path to this PATH
variable, then it is typically done by putting a command similar to what is given below again in the .bashrc
or .bash_profile
file.
or
Since we are writing this to either .bashrc
or .bash_profile
file, the system makes this configuration changes permanent.
Also note that, we have to reload the .bashrc
or .bash_profile
file once we are ready with the changes to have them reflected in the current terminal session by using the below command
or
Working with temporary root access
In linux, a typical user doesn’t have permission to perform certain tasks with administrative previliges, like upgrading the system or creating a new user etc.
To perform these tasks there has to be a special user called superuser. Sometimes it is needed to behave like a superuser and do certain things what the superuser might have done. This is typically known as having sudo access which stands for superuser do.
Here are some usage example to assist you 😄
# updating repository information in Debian based systems
sudo apt update
# upgrading system packages
sudo apt upgrade
# creating a new user
sudo add adduser Sajal
running all these commands needs the password and additional confirmation from the current user.
Running commands as scripts
Till the previous section, whichever commands we have seen, can also be written in a file with the specific extension .sh
and can be executed using that file. Such files are also called shell script. These are heavily used for automation and supporting other administrative tasks.
Let’s see an example below to understand this.
Assume that we have a file called commands.sh
in our present working directory. The code listing below can be considered as a template to perform certain jobs with command line utilities.
The first line (#!/bin/bash
) is called a shebang, and it specifies the interpreter to use when running the script. In this case, we are using Bash.
Remaining all are the actual commands that will be executed when the script is run.
To run the script, first save it and make it executable with the chmod
command as below:
and then run it using bash as mentioned below
In conclusion, the topic we’ve explored in this series of blog posts has been an introduction to linux command line utilities. We’ve delved into the intricacies of making someone more inclined to the command line usages, and hopefully shed some light on having a grip on useful commands.
As we wrap up this post, I want to leave you with some final thoughts as below,
- try to be comfortable with terminal as it is your only friend when you’re on cloud
- play with commands, you will definitely learn something useful
- take help from internet as much as possible whenever you’re stuck
Remember that one simple command can save a lot of boring manual efforts.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and I hope you found it informative and thought-provoking.
