By SHANNON PATRICK SULLIVAN
Two years ago, the original "Urban Legend" was a surprise, proving to be the most worthy of the litany of "Scream" rip-offs. Although by no means classic cinema, it was entertaining and boasted an entertaining premise, taking typical slasher-film shenanigans and dressing them up in the context of popular urban legends. Aided by good performances and energetic direction, "Urban Legend" turned out to be ideal popcorn fare.
Now comes the sequel of sorts, "Urban Legends: Final Cut". Instead of being a continuation of the first movie, this one is intended to be more of a thematic successor. Its events are inspired by the original, and only two characters carry over. Most notable is security guard Reese (Loretta Devine), now working at a university whose film students compete for the prestigious and lucrative Hitchcock Prize. One night, Reese encounters Amy Mayfield (Jennifer Morrison), who is casting about for a topic for her thesis film. Reese tells her about the events she endured at Pendleton in the original picture ("but that's just an urban legend," Amy protests in one of the more clever lines of dialogue) and this inspires Amy to make her own movie about a campus killer who bases his murders on urban myths. But as production gets under way, somebody seizes on the Pendleton "legend" in a far more literal manner, and begins killing film students in the same style.
Or, at least, that's what's supposed to be happening. But "Urban Legends" is so ineptly written by Paul Harris Boardman and Scott Derrickson that the central motif is virtually forgotten about, or treated more as a crutch. Although Boardman and Derrickson go through the motions of dressing their murders up in "urban legend" style, this is largely just used as an irrelevant backdrop while the killings are carried out in typical slasher style. There is a startling dearth of imagination here: even the deaths, usually the high points of any movie of this genre, lack invention.
There is a similar lethargy to many of the other plot points. Characters are introduced who are so obviously intended to be potential suspects -- a rival movie director, a mysterious twin brother, an eccentric movie groupie -- that they deserve little flags. Having introduced such characters, Boardman and Derrickson make little effort to heighten the suspense by developing them further; they are pretty much just thrown out there, and it is expected that the viewer will generate his own mystery trying to figure out which one actually did it. "Urban Legends", though, is so thoroughly unengaging that there is no cause to contemplate such things; there are far greater mysteries, like why a studio would greenlight such a paltry, third-rate script.
"Urban Legends" has the feel almost of a serialised drama, with each incident happening seemingly in isolation. Characters appear just so that they can serve as the next victim. People die and are not mentioned again for huge stretches of time. The movie evokes the sense of filmmakers going through the motions -- murders and other scary incidents occur not because the plot demands it, but just to fill time. This is moviemaking at its most mechanical.
There is little in the way of characterisation to speak of, and few of the castmembers engender any interest or sympathy. The revelation that one character has a twin, for example, is completely defused by the fact that we knew nothing about the character in the first place. Morrison proves a poor successor to "Urban Legend's" spunky Alicia Witt -- not because she doesn't try, but simply because she is given no material to work with. Amy is a dull, monotonous character, and the filmmakers seem to assume that we will empathise with her simply because she's the main character, not because they have established her as somebody worthy of our interest.
Amongst the other characters, Devine is downright embarrassing as Reese, having apparently graduated from the "Police Academy" stable. Matthew Davis, who plays twins Travis and Trevor, is aimless in either role. Perhaps the biggest name actor, Joseph Lawrence (best known as the guy who says 'woah!' on "Blossom"), is confined to a forgettable one-note part.
John Ottman's direction is unremarkable and drops the ball more than once during action scenes, where the sequence of events is frequently confusing and difficult to discern. Certainly, Ottman does little to cultivate an atmosphere of suspense or terror. But then, there is precious little mystery anywhere in "Urban Legends" -- a particularly galling fact given that the film invokes such names as Hitchcock and Welles. It all comes to a head with the revelation of the killer, which is done so off-handedly and absurdly that I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop (it never does).
Indeed, it was moments like this that made me wonder if "Urban Legends" was perhaps intended to be more a satire of slasher films than just a standard entry into the genre. But if that is the case, then it is a most incompetent effort, totally failing to illuminate any truths about slasher movies (except, perhaps, that they're all but exhausted) and instead wallowing in their most dubious cliches.
"Urban Legends: Final Cut" is, quite simply, badly made. The direction is hamfisted. The acting is without merit. The writing is on about the same level as that roomful of typewriter-endowed chimpanzees. It is amusing that the movie is set at a film school, because you have to wonder how much time its creators actually spent at one.
The only positive thing that can be said about "Urban Legends" is that, in the end, it could have been a lot worse. It is never actively terrible; it is just incredibly lazy, inducing more a sense of ennui than of critical revulsion. Nonetheless, it is yet another example of how the teen slasher genre is in desperate need of either fresh ideas or a long rest. Hopefully, this is indeed the 'final cut' for the "Urban Legend" mini-franchise.

"Fighting" is a word coined(created) by the Koreans, not original Enligsh. You can use "working hard" to replace it. And if you want to encourage someone, it's better to say "Go for it" .

Ant task to compress HTML files
I will show you how to compress your HTML files using the Java library HtmlCompressor. So let's say your html code looks something like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>htmlcompressor</title>
</head>
<body>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed gravida suscipit lectus.
<!-- comment -->
</body>
</html>
After we compress it, it'll look like this:
<!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>htmlcompressor</title> </head> <body> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed gravida suscipit lectus. </body> </html>
Compressing your html files reduces it's size by ~20% by removing unnecessary white space, comments and stuff that it doesn't need in order to keep the structure of the content. The result is a smaller file size which equals to faster page load.
Ok, so first make sure you have Google Project page.
Create a directory in the root of your project called lib
and drop the .jar
in it. Then again in the root directory, create the xml file called build.xml
. Include the following gist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project default="compress-html">
<target name="compress-html">
<apply executable="java">
<fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.html"/>
<arg value="-jar"/>
<arg path="lib/htmlcompressor-1.5.3.jar"/>
<arg line="-t html"/>
<srcfile/>
<arg value="-o"/>
<mapper type="glob" from="*" to="compressed/*"/>
<targetfile/>
</apply>
</target>
</project>
What we did is created a project which will execute the compress-html
target by default. In the target we are telling it to include all the html
files in the root directory
and then output the compressed files in a new directory called compressed
. the -t
flag means type
and -o
means output
. By default the filenames of the source files will be added to
the end fo the command, so we use srcfile
to place it where we want it. targetfile
is used to add the target filenames to the command or else they'll be left out. The mapper
type glob
means that it will substitue the *
in the to
pattern with the text that matches the *
in the from
pattern.
Now run the build.xml
as an Ant Build
and everything should go as planned. I hope this helped!


Big Lebowski, The (1998) 3/09/97
Usually a movie is about something more than a soiled rug, but not THE BIG LEBOWSKI. The new offering from the creators of 1996's critical hit FARGO, is to say the least, wildly entertaining. Originality has always been a strong trait in the Coen Brother's movies, and THE BIG LEBOWSKI is insanely original.
It begins oddly enough when Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski(Jeff Bridges) is mistaken for a millionaire, Jeff "The Big" Lebowski(David Huddleston), who's wife, Bunny(Tara Reid) owes money all over town. Two goons, out to collect on Bunny's debt break into Dude's house. They attempt to collect the money that Bunny owes them and one of them urinates on his rug. The next day Dude explains his situation to his bowling team(Steve Buscemi & John Goodman, respectively.) He is advised to go to the Big Lebowski and get him to pay for the defiled rug. He does this, and shortly after gets tied up in a kidnapping caper.
This is a extremely funny movie with lots of belly laugh moments. The Coen brothers have assembled a great cast that play off each other perfectly. Also several great supporting roles, John Turturro as a child molesting bowler named Jesus. The Coen's script plays off perfectly and it all goes together to make it extremely entertaining. I doubt this movie will be nearly as popular as FARGO, but its off the wall moments make it so far the best of 1998. If you like anything else the Coen brothers have done you will love this one, if not they give this one a try its a little different.

I'm a Mechatronic Engineer (2001) and Master in Aeronautical Engineer (2004). I have worked on aeronauticalindustry since 2003 as "System Integration Test Engineer". Nowadays, I have worked with system integration tests on RIG with main focus on engine and its controller (FADEC). I'm very experienced on software test at simulated environment with real controllers/components (HIL) to validate and to verify how the system and their interfaces would behave in normal, abnormal (failed) and out of envelope conditions. These activities demmand wide knowlodge on "ARP4754" and "System Engineer" directrices.
This field of work makes me present on the aircraft entire lifecycle, from initial definition, Type Certification, entry-into-service and fleet support.
I have scripted for a long time and I've tryed different programming languages but I'm confident using Python (2.7 and 3) that I've used on my daily work (creating scripts for test automation and test analysis) and my personal stuffs since 2008. During the quarentine, forced by COVID-19 (a few months on 2020), I decided to improve my Python skills besides of adding the Java and the set HTML5/CSS3 to my portfolio.
As a final project of a Java course, it was necessary to share a video with the program being executed. Thus, I had the idea of creating a site to store and share my developments, knowledge and certifications.
I had a bare knowledge on how to create a site on GitHub, thus I did the HTML5/CSS3 course to allow me to improve the quality of my site.

Bar Harbor lies on the east coast of Mount Desert Island which is about 70nm from the entrance to the Bay of Fundy and the border with Canada. Much of the island is designated Acadia National Park. The downtown area of Bar Harbor is a lively place during the season and the area provides many opportunities for bird and sealife watching.
The harbour is visited by many cruise ships which anchor in the middle of the harbour.
Position 44°23′9″N, 68°12′34″W.
It is necessary to call or fax the CBP office 2 hours prior to arrival to arrange a time for inspection. Nobody must leave the boat until clearance is complete. Inspections are done during normal working hours. Berth at the Town Pier.
Last updated November 2014.
Since Bar Harbor is an island and a popular place for both sailing and powerboating, there are many suitable moorings. Contact the Harbourmaster’s Office for availability.
The Town Pier has pontoons on each side for yachts and a minimum depth of about 2.5m. There are several other piers with visitors' moorings in the harbour.
The usual anchorage is south of the eastern end of Bar Island. The western end is connected to Mount Desert Island by a sand bar at low water. It is not the most comfortable place, being exposed to the wind and the wake of passing boats.
A more comfortable anchorage, although further from the town, can be found on the northern and western sides of Bar Island. This is quite deep (15m+) and a shallower spot can be found just west of the island.
There is a dinghy dock on the west of the Town Pier.

The evolution of the web has been underpinned by some fundamental components. A birds-eye view of these components are a client, a server, a means of travel, and a vehicle in which to travel. In other words, you have a computer that is requesting information, a computer that is hosting information, a network that connects them, and protocol that helps each side understand and be understood. Here is a a fun depiction of of what I just explained:
The key to understanding is connecting the information. If you think of it in terms of a city it may make the ideas and concepts more concrete. For example, there are may homes in a city. Each home must supply food to its occupants. In the most traditional sense, the occupants go to the grocery store via a roadway. On the road and in the store there are rules that must be followed. Ultimately, the food is brought back to the residence and everyone is happy. In essence, the people in this example are the packets seeking to establish a connection. The store is the server. And, the food is the data brought back to the requesting home. Make sense?
HTMLHTML is the Hyper Text Markup Language. It is made up of elements that consist of many different tags. Tags work together to make the information being presented, more intelligible. We do this in writing all of the time. For example, when you create a title for a story you are writing, you don't put it at the end of the story!? You put it in the beginning. Also, if you have chapters, you would want to make a clear distinction of when one ends and another begins. Well, HTML helps represent this concepts electronically... only a computer needs HTML (on a web page) to present information in a way humans can do with a pen. The most obvious example is this page you are reading! Imagine if all of the paragraphs were connected with no spacing, no bold text, and all the same size font. Ugh! :o( So, HTML can be thought of as the the rules to written communication... there
Tags and ElementsUnlike human writing, HTML utilzes elements that are comprised of tags. These tags enable things like linking to other references. In a book, one would have to go to the bibliography to find a source. But, with HTML you can embed a source... making it only a click away! Here, see what Wikipedia has to say about Tags and Elements! <--- Isn't that cool?' This is just one of many. Even making text bold utilizes a tag... not as cool, but, definitely helpful.
Inline vs. Block ElementsThe distinction between inline and block elements comes mainly in how they make HTML behave. Block elements create an invisible box around the content inside of them. W3schools explain it like this.

I will soon be planning to add additonal language support once I have decided which languages to choose from.
The languages that I will mostly likely use are: Esperanto, Welsh, Cornish, Irish, Russian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Hebrew and/or Yiddish.

Contact Forms
To create a form we use the <form>
element (pretty simple hey?). We’ll wrap all of the form fields inside of the form element.
A Basic Form
The main element we use to collect text from users is the <input>
element. This uses a type attribute to define what type of information is being captured within the control (the most common type is text), and a name & id attribute to uniquely identify it. <input type="text" id="username" name="username">
Originally the only input types were text and password, but in HTML5 we have many more types to provide more semantic meaning: - color - email - range - time - date - month - search - url - datetime - number - tel - week
The name attribute describes the input field, and is what we will see attached to the users form submission when it arrives in our email.
<SCREENSHOT OF FORMSPREE>
These types can impact how different browsers might render the field, for example the date field on an iPhone will display a calendar scroller, while an email input will show the keyboard that has the @ and .com buttons on it and a tel input would show the number keyboard.
They can also optionally have a placeholder attribute which will display before the user has typed anything in the input fields.
<form>
<input type="text" name="full-name" id="full-name" placeholder="Your Full Name">
<input type="email" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Your Email Address">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send">
</form>
This is what the above form would look like, without any additional css styling.
RADIO BUTTONS & CHECKBOXES
Radio buttons allow you to choose one from a small list of options. The browser will know they are all part of a single question because they share a name value. It is best practice to give each input a label and associate it with the field using the for attribute, where the value of the for attribute is the id of the field’s corresponding id. When the label text is clicked the radio or the checkbox will be selected.
<input type="radio" name="day" id="friday" value="Friday" >
Friday
<input type="radio" name="day" id="saturday" value="Saturday">
Saturday
<input type="radio" name="day" id="sunday" value="Sunday" checked>
Sunday
Checkboxes are similar but they allow multiple to be selected. Adding the boolean ‘checked’ inside the tag sets that at the pre-chosen option (this is optional).
Textarea
To capture longer blocks of text we use the textarea element, which doesn’t use a type attribute and has start and end tags that allow you to pre-fill text if you wanted to.
<textarea name="comment" id="comment" placeholder="Send us a message!"></textarea>
DROP-DOWN LISTS
To create a drop-down list we’ll use the <select>
and <option>
elements. The <select>
element wraps all of the menu options, and each menu option is marked up using the <option>
element.
<select name="day" id="day">
<option value="Friday">Friday</option>
<option value="Saturday">Saturday</option>
<option value="Sunday" selected>Sunday</option>
</select>
If you add the boolean ‘selected’ to one of the options, this would function just like ‘checked’ for checkboxes and set a default value. Additionally, if you add the boolean ‘multiple’ to the select element, then you allow the user to select multiple options (although they would need to hold down shift to do so).
<select name="day" multiple> ... </select>
SUBMIT BUTTONS
At the end of your form you need some way to submit your information, you can do that with an input element with a type of submit. A submit button performs the action set on the form element. The value attribute is the text displayed on the button.
<input type="submit" value="Send">
Organising Form Elements
The way we organise and layout forms is critical in making them user friendly.
Labels create captions or headings for form controls. To link the label to the input field, we need to include a ‘for’ attribute that matches the “id” attribute of the input.
User name
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
You can also wrap the label around the input to avoid having to use the for and id attributes, however this is not best practice. It is not semantic and it does not allow for separate styling of the label and the input. Fieldsets group sections of the form, just like a section or a div. By default they have a border outline but this can be modified in the CSS like all default styles.
<fieldset>
 Username
<input type="text" name="username" id="username">
 Password
<input type="password" name="password" id="password">
</fieldset>
LEGEND
The legend provides a caption or heading for the fieldset, and should go just after the opening fieldset tag.
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
...
</fieldset>
See the Pen Forms by The Institute of Code (@instituteofcode) on CodePen.
OTHER FORM ATTRIBUTES
disabled - a boolean that prevents the user from interacting with the input placeholder - a hint or trick that disappears when you start to type
required - the form cannot be submitted while leaving this field blank or invalid (ie invalid email address)
Making your forms work
Typically to make a form actually work you needed some backend programming and often a database, but there are a number of tools now to allow you to easily add forms to any site.
The most common attributes for the form element are action and method. The action attribute contains the URL to send the collected information to for the server to process. The method attribute is the HTTP method that browsers should use to submit data to the form. In this course, we won’t be digging in too deep into how information from a form is processed and handled on the back end of a website.
We’ll teach you three simple options for form submission that you can use on your site without ever needing to touch a backend, first using Formspree and secondly using CloudCannon or Netlify’s built in form submission.
To use Formspree, just add these attributes to your form element…
<form<EMAIL_ADDRESS>method="post"> ...
</form>

DeBeersIt's kind of refreshing to talk about the DeBeers in the scope of crime, because in the case of most companies, you can say "Well, at least they bring in low prices (Wal-Mart)" or "Man, those are some fine classic movies (Disney)". But the DeBeers empire has nothing good to speak for it; over a hundred years of rotten labor relations, a product of falsified value, and, if you're feeling particularly uncharitable, the blood of thousands of victims on its hands.The story starts with Johannes De Beers in South Africa, who bought a farm from the South African government in 1860 for the sum of £50. In 1871, two mines were found on the property, called the De Beers and Kimberly Mines. De Beers and his brother elected to immediately "flip" on the property, selling the mines in that same year to a syndicate run by Cecil John Rhodes (British Freemason with a weakness for young boys) for £6,300. Quite a tidy profit, and not the last in this story. It is, however, the last time anyone with the name "De Beers" has anything to do with the story. It is a bad habit on the part of folks to call those who run the company "The De Beers" or "The De Beers Family"; there are none. Instead, the De Beers Consolidated Mines Company came into effect. Today, the cartel controls two-thirds of the world's diamond market. Woe be to anyone who finds any amounts of diamonds on their property; it might seem like pennies from heaven (or the ground).. until the De Beers representatives show up. Spikes in diamond availability spell trouble for profits, and De Beers likes profits. There's only one organization in the world philosophically opposed to the idea of a finders-keepers diamond mine open to the public. So if a dirty bomb ever goes off in Arkansas near the Crater of Diamonds state park, we shouldn't waste any time looking for Arab terrorists. |

Devon beach cleaner picks up 100,000th plastic piece this year
Catherine Jeffs has been counting the number of plastic pieces collected in 2019
by Lewis ClarkeA beach cleaner has picker her 100,000th piece of plastic at Woolacombe.
Catherine Jeffs has been helping clean the beach at Woolacombe for many years, but since retiring has been able to do it every day, rain or shine.
She said: “Most of my beach cleaning is on beautiful Woolacombe beach, between Mill Rock and Black Rock which is very clean.
“Last year I set myself the target to collect 250 pieces of plastic each day, but this year out of interest I recorded each day the number of items I have picked up, and I’ve just picked up my 100,000th piece.
“Some days there is very little to collect, but on days of very high tides along with stormy weather, there is much more. Even I have been amazed at how many items I have collected.”
She added the items fall into three main categories; fishing industry debris such as rope and net, single-use plastic, for bottles and wrapping, and microplastics, which are tiny pieces of broken-down plastic and nurdles.
“Some days I just collect one bag of debris, other days can be three or four, which gets very heavy,” she said.
“I am just one of several people who do beach cleaning at Woolacombe. Although it is good to clear up the plastic, it would be even better if it wasn’t there.”
Catherine is also a member of Plastic Free Woolacombe, which is encouraging everyone to reduce the amount of single-use plastic they use and where possible reuse or recycle it.

World Story
×
The distant future…
Invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as “machine lifeforms.” In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon.
The Council of Humanity organizes a resistance of android soldiers in an effort to take back their planet. To break the deadlock, the Resistance deploys a new unit of android infantry: YoRHa .
In the forsaken wasteland below, the war between the machines and the androids rages on. A war that is soon to unveil the long-forgotten truth of this world...


Before we go on to the list of commands, you need to open the command line first. Here is a list of basic Linux commands:
Use the pwd command to find out the path of the current working directory (folder) you’re in. The command will return an absolute (full) path, which is basically a path of all the directories that starts with a forward slash (/). An example of an absolute path is /home/username.
To navigate through the Linux files and directories, use the cd command. It requires either the full path or the name of the directory, depending on the current working directory that you’re in. Let’s say you’re in /home/username/Documents and you want to go to Photos, a subdirectory of Documents. To do so, simply type the following command: cd Photos. Another scenario is if you want to switch to a completely new directory, for example, /home/username/Movies. In this case, you have to type cd followed by the directory’s absolute path: cd /home/username/Movies. There are some shortcuts to help you navigate quickly: cd .. (with two dots) to move one directory up cd to go straight to the home folder cd- (with a hyphen) to move to your previous directory On a side note, Linux’s shell is case sensitive. So, you have to type the name’s directory exactly as it is.
The ls command is used to view the contents of a directory. By default, this command will display the contents of your current working directory. If you want to see the content of other directories, type ls and then the directory’s path. For example, enter ls /home/username/Documents to view the content of Documents. There are variations you can use with the ls command: ls -R will list all the files in the sub-directories as well ls -a will show the hidden files ls -al will list the files and directories with detailed information like the permissions, size, owner, etc.
cat (short for concatenate) is one of the most frequently used commands in Linux. It is used to list the contents of a file on the standard output (sdout). To run this command, type cat followed by the file’s name and its extension. For instance: cat file.txt. Here are other ways to use the cat command: cat > filename creates a new file cat filename1 filename2>filename3 joins two files (1 and 2) and stores the output of them in a new file (3) to convert a file to upper or lower case use, cat filename | tr a-z A-Z >output.txt
Use the cp command to copy files from the current directory to a different directory. For instance, the command cp scenery.jpg /home/username/Pictures would create a copy of scenery.jpg (from your current directory) into the Pictures directory.
The primary use of the mv command is to move files, although it can also be used to rename files. The arguments in mv are similar to the cp command. You need to type mv, the file’s name, and the destination’s directory. For example: mv file.txt /home/username/Documents. To rename files, the Linux command is mv oldname.ext newname.ext
Use mkdir command to make a new directory — if you type mkdir Music it will create a directory called Music. There are extra mkdir commands as well: To generate a new directory inside another directory, use this Linux basic command mkdir Music/Newfile use the p (parents) option to create a directory in between two existing directories. For example, mkdir -p Music/2020/Newfile will create the new “2020” file.
If you need to delete a directory, use the rmdir command. However, rmdir only allows you to delete empty directories.
The rm command is used to delete directories and the contents within them. If you only want to delete the directory — as an alternative to rmdir — use rm -r. Note: Be very careful with this command and double-check which directory you are in. This will delete everything and there is no undo.
The touch command allows you to create a blank new file through the Linux command line. As an example, enter touch /home/username/Documents/Web.html to create an HTML file entitled Web under the Documents directory.
You can use this command to locate a file, just like the search command in Windows. What’s more, using the -i argument along with this command will make it case-insensitive, so you can search for a file even if you don’t remember its exact name. To search for a file that contains two or more words, use an asterisk (*). For example, locate -i school*note command will search for any file that contains the word “school” and “note”, whether it is uppercase or lowercase.
Similar to the locate command, using find also searches for files and directories. The difference is, you use the find command to locate files within a given directory. As an example, find /home/ -name notes.txt command will search for a file called notes.txt within the home directory and its subdirectories. Other variations when using the find are: To find files in the current directory use, find. -name notes.txt To look for directories use, / -type d -name notes. txt
Another basic Linux command that is undoubtedly helpful for everyday use is grep. It lets you search through all the text in a given file. To illustrate, grep blue notepad.txt will search for the word blue in the notepad file. Lines that contain the searched word will be displayed fully.
Short for “SuperUser Do”, this command enables you to perform tasks that require administrative or root permissions. However, it is not advisable to use this command for daily use because it might be easy for an error to occur if you did something wrong.
Use df command to get a report on the system’s disk space usage, shown in percentage and KBs. If you want to see the report in megabytes, type df -m.
If you want to check how much space a file or a directory takes, the du (Disk Usage) command is the answer. However, the disk usage summary will show disk block numbers instead of the usual size format. If you want to see it in bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes, add the -h argument to the command line.
The head command is used to view the first lines of any text file. By default, it will show the first ten lines, but you can change this number to your liking. For example, if you only want to show the first five lines, type head -n 5 filename.ext.
This one has a similar function to the head command, but instead of showing the first lines, the tail command will display the last ten lines of a text file. For example, tail -n filename.ext.
Short for difference, the diff command compares the contents of two files line by line. After analysing the files, it will output the lines that do not match. Programmers often use this command when they need to make program alterations instead of rewriting the entire source code. The simplest form of this command is diff file1.ext file2.ext
The tar command is the most used command to archive multiple files into a tarball — a common Linux file format that is similar to zip format, with compression being optional. This command is quite complex with a long list of functions such as adding new files into an existing archive, listing the content of an archive, extracting the content from an archive, and many more. Check out some practical examples to know more about other functions.
chmod is another Linux command, used to change the read, write, and execute permissions of files and directories. As this command is rather complicated, you can read the full tutorial in order to execute it properly.
In Linux, all files are owned by a specific user. The chown command enables you to change or transfer the ownership of a file to the specified username. For instance, chown linuxuser2 file.ext will make linuxuser2 as the owner of the file.ext.
jobs command will display all current jobs along with their statuses. A job is basically a process that is started by the shell.
If you have an unresponsive program, you can terminate it manually by using the kill command. It will send a certain signal to the misbehaving app and instructs the app to terminate itself. There is a total of sixty-four signals that you can use, but people usually only use two signals: SIGTERM (15) — requests a program to stop running and gives it some time to save all of its progress. If you don’t specify the signal when entering the kill command, this signal will be used. SIGKILL (9) — forces programs to stop immediately. Unsaved progress will be lost. Besides knowing the signals, you also need to know the process identification number (PID) of the program you want to kill. If you don’t know the PID, simply run the command ps ux. After knowing what signal, you want to use and the PID of the program, enter the following syntax: kill [signal option] PID.

Use the ping command to check your connectivity status to a server. For example, by simply entering ping google.com, the command will check whether you’re able to connect to Google and also measure the response time.
The Linux command line is super useful — you can even download files from the internet with the help of the wget command. To do so, simply type wget followed by the download link.
The uname command, short for Unix Name, will print detailed information about your Linux system like the machine name, operating system, kernel, and so on.
As a terminal equivalent to Task Manager in Windows, the top command will display a list of running processes and how much CPU each process uses. It’s very useful to monitor system resource usage, especially knowing which process needs to be terminated because it consumes too many resources.
When you’ve been using Linux for a certain period of time, you’ll quickly notice that you can run hundreds of commands every day. As such, running history command is particularly useful if you want to review the commands you’ve entered before.
Confused about the function of certain Linux commands? Don’t worry, you can easily learn how to use them right from Linux’s shell by using the man command. For instance, entering man tail will show the manual instruction of the tail command.
This command is used to move some data into a file. For example, if you want to add the text, “Hello, my name is John” into a file called name.txt, you would type echo Hello, my name is John >> name.txt
Use the zip command to compress your files into a zip archive, and use the unzip command to extract the zipped files from a zip archive.
If you want to know the name of your host/network simply type hostname. Adding a -I to the end will display the IP address of your network.
Since Linux is a multi-user system, this means more than one person can interact with the same system at the same time. useradd is used to create a new user, while passwd is adding a password to that user’s account. To add a new person named John type, useradd John and then to add his password type, passwd 123456789. To remove a user is very similar to adding a new user. To delete the users account type, userdel UserName
Use the clear command to clean out the terminal if it is getting cluttered with too many past commands. Try the TAB button to autofill what you are typing. For example, if you need to type Documents, begin to type a command (let’s go with cd Doc, then hit the TAB key) and the terminal will fill in the rest, showing you cd Documents. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z are used to stop any command that is currently working. Ctrl+C will stop and terminate the command, while Ctrl+Z will simply pause the command. If you freeze your terminal by using Ctrl+S, simply undo this with the unfreeze Ctrl+Q. Ctrl+A moves you to the beginning of the line while Ctrl+E moves you to the end. You can run multiple commands in one single command by using the “;” to separate them. For example, Command1; Command2; Command3. Or use && if you only want the next command to run when the first one is successful.
Basic Linux commands help users execute tasks easily and effectively. It might take a while to remember some of the basic commands, but nothing is impossible with lots of practice. In the end, knowing and mastering these basic Linux commands will be undoubtedly beneficial for you. Good luck!


Sometimes I got myself thinking what makes a software have its own opinion and be considered “optioned software”. Would it be related to the language philosophy or to the programmer itself, or both of them?
People usually say Rails is a good example of optioned software. I can say I take part of the same opinion, but I’d like to take this point a little more further by not emphasizing only the software, but the programmer and how its culture could be incorporated (and not avoided) in the software it produces.
Out there, in the software market, when hiring people, companies usually claim they give plenty of room for people to innovate, share ideas and try new things and all that cool stuff we usually hear from Googles’s employees about independence and space to build your own skills and develop ideas within the job. But what we found most in the reality is the same copy & paste philosophy everywhere. The programmer usually don’t have time to try new things, because he is stuck with a pile of tedious tasks to complete and the deliverable is always behind schedule, which appears to be a endless cycle, project after project.
I believe, Ruby on Rails came to “save” the people from these kind of starving companies, which likes to hire young and “virgin” employees to mold them to the “Software Factory” style. Ruby on Rails lets the programmer surpass most of the tedious tasks, so it lets the programmer have free time to innovate in other areas of the software. It depends, of course, on the company philosophy, but when companies envise the real profit they can benefit from having a happy employee and tailoring the software for the user real needs, the companies will would like to have adopted the Ruby on Rails earlier.
Ok, but where the programmer opinion comes in ? I strongly believe by having more time to think, the programmer can not only fix issues, but can also suggest new features, test and present them very quickly and best of all, he also can earn more as people usually like to pay for what’s well done.
All in all, writing optioned software is not about yelling what’ s your favorite band, but it’s all about programming and being happy.Â I am a happy programmer and you ??


Each analysis feature can be enabled/disabled as needed. Disabling analysis for uninteresting events can improve worker efficiency. By default, analysis is enabled for all events. See the online documentation for more information about each feature.
Fabric monitor events (i.e., starting and stopping the monitor) are wrapped at a configurable count. Endpoint events are also wrapped within the database. Some events, such as local endpoint history and endpoint moves, are wrapped per endpoint. Other events, such as offsubnet and stale events, are wrapped per node and per endpoint.
It is helpful be notified when an endpoint creating a high number of events. This often indicates that the endpoint is unstable. When a endpoint is flagged as rapid, analysis is temporarily disabled for that endpoint and notifications are sent. Endpoints events are counted across all nodes and a rate of events per minute is calculated at regular intervals. When the configured threshold of events per minute is exceeded, then endpoint is flagged as rapid and analysis is disabled for the holdtime. Additionally, if refresh is enabled, an API refresh request is sent to determine the current state of the endpoint after it is no longer marked as rapid.
When stale analysis is enabled, there are a few events that user may not wish to be treated as a stale event. A stale endpoint is generally a remote learn (XR) pointing to a leaf where the endpoint is no longer local. If the endpoint is no longer local in the fabric and the XR entry still exists on a node in the fabric, then the 'stale-no-local' logic is applied. If the endpoint is local on multiple nodes at the same time, then the last local node is assumed to be the correct entry and the 'stale-multiple-local' logic is applied. Note, this logic does not apply to vpc-attached endpoints which are expected to be learned on both nodes within the vpc.
subscriptions are enabled for several MOs during the initial db build. If events are received on the subscription before initialization has completed these events can be queued and serviced after initialization. The number of events queued is dependent on the rate of events and the build time. It may be desirable to ignore the events during initialization, in which case queue events should be disabled.

Can this ever get better, will this ever get better. Will I ever have true joy from deep within from a figure way above me? One, two, three, no, minus one or so I think are the number of friends I have grown fond of. I am the hardest for everyone outside, I am actually very gullible, and like a child I easily get sick from bacteria I cry hard and heavy then I make sure I am the only one who battles it with God. See I know I don’t know God personally as I should but I am really trying. I am fighting demons of masturbation within every night I am all alone in my chamber, but nobody sees that until I open my mouth. My mouth dares to open to one person far away from me. Because I know he won’t judge me for what I am or what I go through. How many has it been so far and how many have I had to loose over the year in a single academic year. They come in the quantum that they leave.
I really wanted to come home and see happiness everywhere everyday hoping I would live with a mentality that even in a moment of sadness I would perceive it as a normal way of life. Please! Can someone hear me apart from God who listens to my heart and still requires me to pray to him before he shows me he cares...? I have fallen and apart from the world. She looked like she cared about all that I had been saying to her, she said she would follow up but she never does. I will not go back in time. She said no man likes that in a woman. No man loves a woman who will bring old arguments to be argued again

This class contains feature extractors for the MaxentTagger that are only
applied to rare (low frequency/unknown) words.
The following options are supported:
| Name | Args | Effect |
| wordshapes | left, right |
Word shape features, e.g., transform Foo5 into Xxx#
(not exactly like that, but that general idea).
Creates individual features for each word left ... right.
If just one argument wordshapes(-2) is given, then end is taken as 0.
If left is not less than or equal to right, no features are made.
Fairly English-specific. |
| unicodeshapes | left, right |
Same thing, but works for unicode characters generally. |
| unicodeshapeconjunction | left, right |
Instead of individual word shape features, combines several
word shapes into one feature. |
| suffix | length, position |
Features for suffixes of the word position. One feature for
each suffix of length 1 ... length. |
| prefix | length, position |
Features for prefixes of the word position. One feature for
each prefix of length 1 ... length. |
| prefixsuffix | length |
Features for concatenated prefix and suffix. One feature for
each of length 1 ... length. |
| capitalizationsuffix | length |
Current word only. Combines character suffixes up to size length with a
binary value for whether the word contains any capital letters. |
| distsim | filename, left, right |
Individual features for each position left ... right.
Compares that word with the dictionary in filename. |
| distsimconjunction | filename, left, right |
A concatenation of distsim features from left ... right. |
Also available are the macros "naacl2003unknowns",
"lnaacl2003unknowns", and "naacl2003conjunctions".
naacl2003unknowns and lnaacl2003unknowns include suffix extractors
and extractors for specific word shape features, such as containing
or not containing a digit.
The macro "frenchunknowns" is a macro for five extractors specific
to French, which test the end of the word to see if it matches
common suffixes for various POS classes and plural words. Adding
this experiment did not improve accuracy over the regular
naacl2003unknowns extractor macro, though.


ONE FOOT ON THE BANANA PEEL, THE OTHER FOOT IN THE GRAVE A film review by Max Hoffmann Copyright 1994 Max Hoffmann
Viewed at the San Francisco Film Festival May 4, 1994
USA 1994, 85 min. Directors: Juan Botas, Lucas Platt Producer: Jonathan Demme, Peter Saraf, Joanne Howard Camera Victoria Leacock, Juan Botas Editor: Lucas Platt Print Clinica Estitico
Scale 0-10 (10 = highest): doesn't apply
Seldom does a film so effect you, through its naked self-honesty, that the audience's urban cocoon of indifference and separation is completely stripped away... With ONE FOOT, it was to the point that after viewing the film in the Kabuki's coffee bar, I had three total strangers come up separately and say, "Excuse me, but I saw you in the audience, can I join you and talk about that film? I can't go home ... not just yet...."
Each member of the audience briefly reached the point of unafraid self-revelation that had filled the screen for 85 minutes. There is no rating or recommendation that is worthy of this work. Each viewer will have his or her own unforgettable connection with the cast, and the creators.
In 1992, Juan Botas related to friends Jonathan Demme and Joanne Howard his experiences (mostly life affirming) of his daily visits to the "Dolly Madison" room of a Greenwich Village clinic (where he was receiving IV medication to battle AIDS.) At Demme's prompting, Botas purchased a Hi-8 video camera ... and recorded his daily ordeal, with himself on camera as well. Demme's involvement as producer in this project should more than make up for any resentment over his tepid treatment of a gay relationship in PHILADELPHIA. ONE FOOT completely collapses the distance between any viewer and this pandemic by revealing the patients' humanity to such an extent that unwelcomed self-recognition will descend over many a viewer. If silence equals death, this film is about as far from silence as you can get!
Botas was a gifted visual artist. Victoria Leacock's camera often captures close-ups of him creating Matisse like pastels while waiting for his treatment to end. With over half a dozen fellow patients and the doctor's staff, an intimate and life-affirming extended family is revealed. These are men who have nothing left to lose, and no motive for censoring their speech or opinions. Nakedly honest assessments of ex-wives, family and children (some of whom refuse to see them) are shared with the camera and the audience. Frustration over family denial that refuses to let them make their wishes known for proper burial or estate settlement are revealed. Thru it all, again and again we see needles being painfully injected into arms ... arms where virtually all of the veins have collapsed.
All action takes place in a single room, with sparse color (a veridian green chair, variously colored T-shirts) that often resembles the simple sketches Botas is working on. Amazingly, the visuals and content are never monotonous. A simple, original score of guitar music is progressively simplified, until by the film's end ... only one string is plucked at a time, (underscoring the peeling away of physical resources experienced by the patients.) Lucas Platt revealed (in his post-screening talk) that he had over 140 hours of video to edit, and a three-week deadline for the world premiere of a rough cut, (held at a Festival in Spain last year.) It was possibly that frantic deadline that forced him to instinctively select the most cogent sequences ... resulting in a perfectly balanced, simple portrait of love, laughter, survival, triumph of the human spirit, and utter pain and desolation.
Half way through the project, Juan Botas dies. The camera unblinkingly records it all: his last visit to the room, when his fevers have gotten worse and he is forced to confront his own imminent mortality; the speculation amongst his friends while he's in the hospital; finally, the naked grief they share on the day of his death. That is, perhaps, the film's greatest gift: it completely strips away whatever distance you have managed to construct between yourself and AIDS.  With this film, you get to know the patients more than you might want to ... and there are many moments of stark self-recognition (including internalized homophobia and shame over AIDS) that you might not want to recognize.
Self-described as "healthy and heterosexual," Lucas Platt completed the project for the deceased Botas. Footage was shot over a 13-month period. Platt confessed that he was plagued with self doubt about being able to do the men justice, about being able to capture their stories the way that Juan would have. "Doing this project has forever changed my life," Platt confessed in an emotion-choked voice, "the greatest compliment I got was from the clinic's administrator, Gene Fedorkov, who phoned me after seeing it, and said, 'I didn't think you'd understand us enough to be able to do this ... you proved me wrong ... and I love you for that.'" Platt continued, "I don't know what my next project will be, but I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to do another film about AIDS .... even if it typecasts me."
One of the film's most unforgettable sequences is as a Canadian patient describes the agonizing deterioration his lover when through before his death. "I had to beg his family to attend his funeral ... I had to beg for his ashes ... after all of that love ... to be treated like ... nothing!" He collapses into dry, heaving sobs.  The unmoving camera records this sequence, with no music for a full two minutes. Though it is painfully obvious that the two men have forgotten the camera is there ... it is a soaring and searing visual image.
Amazingly, overall the film isn't depressing or a "downer."  (At one point two patients discussing their inability to find someone to sign a living will ... laughingly speculate on signing for each other.) The film is very life affirming in the naked honesty, shared unhesitatingly, by real people. By the time of the film's premiere, nearly half the patients had died. Botas's project records the staggeringly loss of talent and humanity that AIDS has wrecked upon our society in a highly personal scale. ONE FOOT will reveal a lot about yourself, as whatever you have placed between yourself and the plague, (denial, "I didn't know any of them") is removed.

UI Protect
Ubiquiti
I’ve been fascinated with the products of Ubiquiti. The capabilities out of the box has been on point with easy home network setup for those with some knowledge. Customizable in some sense to get the job done that I want it too. Obviously other aspects needed like LAN wide adblocker and dnsmasq domain to access servers do not come out of the box with perhaps the most useful machine UI has released, Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro.
Why?
I absolutely love this machine, creating essentially a VPN to UI’s cloud where accessible software within UDMPro is seamless in aspects. I don’t have to open up my firewall so I can ssh in with high latency with some failures based on my raspberry pi’s VPN. That has been set aside and no longer is necessary. As for integration with the other products, it’s overall solid. Of course bugs appear here and there, especially graphical glitches due to outsourcing and cutting costs.
Laying down cable
Perhaps the most arduous task with setting up a UI home network is cabling. It’s all PoE or PnPPoE which can make it difficult because screw injectors. Routing cable in a home where that is non-existant is a pain, drilling holes left and right simply because the house is just too old is non-sense grunt work but satisfying. One thing to note, as useful as the graphs may be with the network software with UI, there are graphical glitches with traffic graphs specific to various devices’. Overall, seamless and effective. I do recommend setting up at least a pi-hole to help block advertisement and use the dnsmasq out of the box that come with it. Raspberry is so cheap, PoE for convenience.

BEAN
Rowan Atkinson who has the title role in BEAN was supposed to have been an electrical engineer but somewhere along the way he had more of the slapstick comedian in him, the silent stars type, and in 1970 made his debut as a performer. Despite being around since then, and despite being famous in England as well as having been in the films FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL, NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN, THE TALL GUY and THE WITCHES, he is not as well-known in the States except for cable TV. BEAN will change all that.
Bean is silent.  The other actors, plagued by BEAN, do not remain silent. How could they? Bean's job as a guard in an art gallery requires that he just sit in a chair. Unfortunately, that is too much of a chore so the alternative is to fire him. However, Bean has a friend, a benefactor to the museum, whom the Board of Directors would not want to offend. One of the board members conceives the idea of getting rid of bean, at least for a while, by commissioning him to deliver a $50 million painting (Whistler's Mother) to a new gallery in the United States. Further, he is passed off as an art expert. Needless to add, the painting does not quite make it to its owner in its original.
Atkinson pulls out all the comic stops in BEAN. Falling off a chair in the art gallery, making himself in a unique manner some real instant coffee for breakfast as he is late to work, and shaving with an electric razor his whole face including his tongue are hysterically funny. A most difficult trick is to sustain that kind of humor throughout an entire film. At that, the film is not entirely successful despite other antics that pop up throughout the movie. However, it is still great fun.
Others in the cast include the art historian of the U.S. gallery (Peter MacNichol), his wife (Pamela Reed) and their daughter (Tricia Vessey) and son (Andrew J Lawrence). It is in their home that BEAN stays during his Los Angeles visit. Not since THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER was a family so harassed and made furious by their guest who was only trying to help.
A very funny movie.

**lossy**: adj.
[Usenet]
1. Said of people, this indicates a poor memory, usually short-term.
This usage is analogical to the same term applied to data compression
and analysis. “He's very lossy.” means that you can't rely on him to
accurately remember recent experiences or conversations, or requests.
Not to be confused with a ‘loser’, which is a person who is in a
continual state of lossiness, as in sense 2 (see below).
2. Said of an attitude or a situation, this indicates a general downturn
in emotions, lack of success in attempted endeavors, etc. Eg, “I'm
having a lossy day today.” means that the speaker has ‘lost’ or is
‘losing’ in all of their activities, and that this is causing some
increase in negative emotions.
