There are a couple of workarounds at the application level:
- set up a "link" record
- or a wiki article "redirect"
-
Greg Hurrell
Although the problem can be worked around at the application level, this is really a lexer-level issue. By the time the app gets the URI it has already been tokenized in this undesirable way.
At a lexer level, I'm really not sure what can be done about this. Here are the relevant state machines:
uri_chars = (alnum | [@$&'(\*\+=%_~/#] | '-')+ ; special_uri_chars = ([:!\(\),;\.\?])+ ; uri = ('mailto:'i mail) | (('http'i [sS]? '://' | 'ftp://'i | 'svn://'i) uri_chars (special_uri_chars uri_chars)*) ;
)
is a "special URI char" and it will only be considered to be part of a URI if it is followed by a "non-special" char. We could append a "non-special" char but that would change the URI and most likely lead to 404s. By definition, the "special" char cannot be the last char in a URI.Nevertheless, this "special/non-special" distinction is very useful in 99.9% of cases. It allows us to write stuff like "my home page (http://wincent.com/)" and have it work as the author intended with no escaping or other special tricks. If we make the 0.1% case work (URIs ending with a parenthesis) then we make things less convenient in the remaining 99.9%.
Funnily enough, if I had used single quotes in my example above then things wouldn't have worked. ie. 'my home page (http://wincent.com/)'
There
'
is a "non-special" URI char so both the parenthesis and the single quote get inappropriately slurped into the URI token. But it's a fairly unlikely edge case and I don't think it constitutes a flaw in the state machines. -
Greg Hurrell
The expected behaviour with respect to "special" chars is defined in the "autolinking" spec file:
I am wondering if perhaps the machine could be modified to accept "special" chars as long as they are followed by at least one "non-special" or "special" char. ie:
(hello).html
: the)
and the.
are accepted because they are followed byh
(hello)
: the)
would not be accepted(hello): foo
would consider(hello)
to be part of the URI, but not the:
because it is followed only by a space(hello).
would also consider(hello)
to be part of the URI
In other words, stuff ending with a parenthesis still wouldn't be automatically tokenized as a URI, but there would be an "escape hatch" for making the lexer tokenize it: adding exactly one more "special" char, such as
:
,.
,,
etc.I am not sure if this is desirable as someone could conceivably write: "See my website (http://wincent.com/)." and the parenthesis would now be erroneously interpreted as being part of the URI.
Perhaps the only way to resolve this definitively would be to introduce some sort of escaping into the lexer, and I think that's a line I don't necessarily want to cross (importing an idea from the domain of programming into what is supposed to be a lightweight, easy-to-use markup).
-
Greg Hurrell
Thinking about this a little more, I believe a percent escape can be used:
Yes, it's relatively ugly. Slightly less ugly if we do it consistently for both left and right parens:
So I think that's the end of the issue because:
- We don't want to change the existing behaviour because it is already the most convenient behaviour possible in 99.9% of cases.
- We don't want to introduce an explicit escaping mechanism (such as using a backslash or some other marker) as that would be introducing a programming-domain idea, and quite an invasive one, into what should be simple markup.
- An easy workaround (percent escapes) exists.
This even allows us to enclose such URLs inside parens and everything will just work as expected (eg. this link will work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACE_%28file_format%29), I think.

The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human readable domain names to machine readable IP addresses. This is a lot similar to a phone book mapping a persons's name to a phone number. When a web address (URL) is typed into a browser, a DNS query is made to learn an IP address of a web server associated with that name. For example www.amazon.com translates to <IP_ADDRESS>.
How does your computer know which DNS server to use?
Usually, when you connect your home network, the modem or router that assigns your computer's network address, also sends network configuration information to your computer. That configuration included one or more DNS servers that the device should use when translating DNS names to an IP address.
Below is a graphic explaining how domain name system servers work:
(www.amazon.com) and an IP address required to locate the www.amazon.com website
DNS servers are connected in a distributed hierarchy. The DNS root zone level are known as root servers. A root server receives a DNS query, which includes a domain name and responds by directing that request to a top-level domain (TLD) nameserver, based on the TLD of that domain (.com, .net, .org). A direct response requests for DNS records in the root zone by returning a list of authoritative TLD name servers that can resolve the initial DNS lookup request for an IP address of that domain name.

How to start an Alberta FRC team 2014 Team Resources Request Registration form for the online courses


Version 1.0 19 March 2015
DUE SATURDAY 11 APRIL 11pm
In this assignment, you will implement some basic functionalities of a search engine. You will be provided with a file called "vertices.csv" and "edges.csv". The data in both files capture a portion of the McGill web network. The "vertices.csv" contains 100+ webpage links with the corresponding text of each page. The "edges.csv" file contains the links between the pages. For this assignment you will do the following:
That's it!
To help you test your code, we've included a sample test suite that you can apply to your code. We will use similar methods and different values to test your submissions. Make sure your code passes all the tests in the test suite before the submission deadline.

National History
It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 300,000 women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship - striving to provide each sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.
Eta Kappa History
In February of 1978, our chapter was founded as Sigma Chi Omega sorority by Anita Benschop, Julie Boxell, Marty Dixon, Trudy Hellman, Tina Gouty, and Karen McCoy. On February 3, 1979, our chapter was officially installed as the Eta Kappa Chapter of Chi Omega. By then, the chapter had grown to 27 pledges and 6 advisors. The ladies of the Eta Kappa Chapter moved into what is now the original part of our house in August 1979. An addition was built onto the chapter house in 1981 and the house now contains 24 bedrooms.

Chi Omega's Symphony
to place scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances;
to be, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular';
to work earnestly, to speak kindly, to act sincerely, to choose thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand;
to be womanly always; to be discouraged never;
in a word, to be loyal under any and all circumstances to my Fraternity and her highest teachings and to have her welfare ever at heart that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.

Emotional Intelligence
13 February, 2020
What is Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. There are 5 critical components to Emotional Intelligence, they are:
- Self-regulation
- ability to manage negative emotions as it happens
- Self-awareness
- ability to recognize an emotion as it happens
- Motivation
- ability to motivate yourself
- Empathy
- ability to recognize how people feel
- Social skills
- ability to development good interpersonal relationships
How is it different to IQ?
IQ measures the general intelligence, which is believed to be an inborn ability. It represents the ability to learn, understand and implement knowledge, logical reasoning and abstract thinking. High IQ is often associated with the success in school.
EQ measures emotional intelligence, which is believed to be a learned and improved ability. It represents the ability to recognize, control, and express one’s own emotion’s, perceive and assess other’s emotion’s. High EQ is often associated with success in life.
Why is it important?
In society, people don’t exist in a vacuum and interacting with someone else is inevitable. On top of that, in the modern, agile workplace, the ability to work within a team to meet Just-In-Time demand is ever increasing. A person demonstrating a high aptitude of emotional intelligence will be able to navigate through social encounters and manage complex social relationships with relative ease.

BigPost API
The BigPost API provides methods for accessing a resource such as a widget, depot listing and quote.
It is important to use the live Big Post API Endpoint below as any other URL is for testing or development purposes
API Endpoints
https://www.bigpost.com.au/api/<endpoints>
Basic endpoints setup of ajax request made via jQuery
$.ajax({
url: url + '/api/sellers/',
dataType: "jsonp",
data: { q: query },
type: “GET”,
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("AccessToken", <accessToken>);
},
success: success
});
The BigPost API can also be called from server side requests. See below for examples in C# ASP.NET and PHP:
ASP.NET C# Suburbs Example:
PHP Suburbs Example:
ASP.NET C# Get Price Example:
PHP Get Price Example:
Older versions of Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer 8 & 9 do not support the requests for data from an external domain so you will need to add the following third party plugin to your page to ensure the requests can be fulfilled from these older browsers;
https://github.com/MoonScript/jQuery-ajaxTransport-XDomainRequest
You should also include in your script code $.support.cors = true;
Alternatively, you could also provide a server side solution as demonstrated in ASP.NET C# and PHP above.
Widget Basics
There are two ways to setup the widget.
Setup 1

https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=<access_token>
Setup 2

https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=<access_token>
We offer the following additional parameters which enable you to customise your widget according to your requirements
Widget Configuration Parameters
There is a test page with sample quote configurations setup at https://bigpost.com.au/QuoteWidget. The HTML is generated from code so you will not be able to obtain the source from this page
Example URLs
https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=1234&modal=true
https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=1234&h=8&l=8&w=8&wg=50&qn=1
https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=1234&suburbs=Dandenong/3175
https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=1234&logo=false

https://www.bigpost.com.au/scripts/bigpostquotewidget.js?accesstoken=1234&marginamount=30
Note the accesstoken should be replaced with the access token supplied by Big Post.
Ebay
Because of eBay security restriction with embedding javascript into an item, you can use the following workaround which enables the widget.

Leave Safe HDS Jobs
When calling the RequestQuote endpoint and specifying a ‘home delivery’ delivery type, you can specify if you wish to receive pricing for ‘Authorised to Leave Safe’ Jobs by setting the DoNotPriceAtlJobs to false. If the response returned has the IsLeaveSafeHdsJob set to true, then the Job is an ‘Authorised to Leave Safe’ otherwise it is a standard home delivery job.

Top: Introduction: Compiling and Porting
Supported platforms and compilers
Windows: MSVC 6, VC.NET, Dev-C++/MinGW, BCC, Cygwin
FreeBSD: GNU C/C++
Linux/i386, Alpha, PPC, Sparc, AMD64: GNU C/C++
SunOS/Sparc: GNU C/C++
MacOS X/PPC (Darwin): CC - Apple Objective-C compiler
BSD/OS: GNU C/C++
The build process on all platforms produces 3 versions of the library: static single-threaded, static multithreaded and dynamic (shared) multithreaded. In addition, MSVC can build debug versions for each of these 3 libraries.Single-threaded versions have a suffix 'n' (non-reentrant) in their names: libptypesn.a for UNIX and MinGW and ptypesn.lib for MSVC. They are somewhat faster and smaller than the multithreaded versions and are intended to be used in smaller projects that do not require to be linked with the slower reentrant system libraries.
The dynamic versions of the library have the library version number in their names: ptypes20.dll, libptypes.so.20 and libptypes.20.dylib. The version number in file names reflects incompatible changes and/or significant enhancement of functionality. Change in the third number in the version usually indicates a compatible improvement and/or bug fix release, so it is not reflected in the DLL/so file name.
Building on UNIX and MacOS X
In order to build the library on one of the UNIX systems listed above, run make in the library's root directory. The makefile in this directory actually calls makefiles in src/ and wshare/ with a suffix which is an output of uname on the given system (e.g. src/Makefile.Linux or src/Makefile.FreeBSD). Make builds the library and the demo program, and then places:
- Static single-threaded version -> lib/libptypesn.a
- Static multi-threaded version -> lib/libptypes.a
- Shared multi-threaded version -> so/libptypes.so.20 (libptypes.20.dylib on MacOS X)
- Demo program -> bin/wshare
The public headers are in include/.
When building your own multithreaded application on Linux or FreeBSD, GCC requires you to specify a special command-line option -pthread which automatically links POSIX threads library and the reentrant version of libc. On Linux you should specify a macro -D_GNU_SOURCE in the command line to include the rwlock interface.
When building your multithreaded application on SunOS, you should specify a macro -D_REENTRANT and also link the following libraries: -lpthread -lposix4 for multithreaded applications, and in addition, -lsocket -lnsl for network applications. NOTE: if you omit -lpthread, the program links without errors, but then the thread objects fail to initialize.
Building on Windows with MSVC
The MSVC project files are:
- win32\PTypes_Lib_ST.dsp - static single-threaded version
- win32\PTypes_Lib.dsp - static multithreaded version
- win32\PTypes_DLL.dsp - dynamic multithreaded version
- win32\wshare - the demo program
A workspace file PTypes.dsw is provided for building all components and versions of the library.
You can include one of the project files in your own workspace. Make your project dependent of PTypes to automatically link the library to your program. To use PTypes headers you will have to explicitly specify the directory in your project settings, e.g. "..\ptypes\include".
In order to link a program to the DLL version of PTypes (ptypes20.dll) use PTYPES_DLL macro definition when compiling your modules. You may want to add a post-build command in the MSVC environment that copies the PTypes DLL to the directory where you build and debug your application.
You should link your application with the multithreaded version of CRTL, except when using the single-threaded ptypesn.lib. When compiling with the dynamic version of PTypes, it is recommended also to use the multithreaded DLL version of CRTL.
Specify an additional library ws2_32.lib if you are using PTypes' IP socket classes.
Building on Windows with Dev-C++/MinGW
The Dev-C++ projects files are in win32 directory and have an extension .dev.
win32/PTypes_Lib_ST.dev and win32/PTypes_Lib.dev build the static versions (single and multithreaded) of the library named libptypesn.a and libptypes.a and copy them to lib/. With Dev-C++/MinGW you can link the library to your application by specifying the option -lptypesn or -lptypes and providing the correct library path in Project Options dialog.
win32/PTypes_DLL.dev builds the multithreaded DLL version of the library named ptypes20g.dll and copies it to so/. Although an import library is being built along with the shared object, with MinGW compiler tools you can directly link your program with the PTypes DLL.
win32/wshare.dev builds the demo program and places it in bin/wshare.exe.
These project files produce binaries without any debugging information and use directories Release_ST, Release and DLL_Release to place all intermediate binaries. If you need debug versions, create separate project files (or copy them from the existing ones), add proper compiler options for debugging/profiling and change the output directories to Debug_ST , Debug and DLL_Debug respectively.
Building on Windows with BCC
The makefile for Borland's C/C++ compiler (aka C++Builder) is src\ptypes.mak. You will need tasm32.exe since some modules contain assembly code which BCC compiles using an external assembler. The BCC makefile for wshare is wshare\wshare.mak. Currently BCC only builds the static multithreaded version of the library.
PTypes namespace
The entire PTypes interface is enclosed within a namespace called pt. The header file <pport.h> provides a macro USING_PTYPES, which is equivalent to using namespace pt. This macro allows you to use PTypes interface symbols without the scope specifier pt:: in your source code.
Porting the library to other platforms
The author would greatly appreciate any effort to port the library to other popular platforms. If you either ported the library or just found that PTypes builds with no problem under your favorite platform with your favorite compiler, then all you'd have to do is to create a makefile with proper definitions in it. Take a look at Makefile.FreeBSD or Makefile.SunOS, for example. Besides OS_CXXOPTS you can specify additional libraries through OS_LDLIBS. Name your makefile so that running make Makefile.`uname` would work on the given operating system. Try to build the library and then run src/ptypes_test to make sure the library is functioning properly.
And finally, if you send the changes to the author, then (obviously) others would be able to benefit from using PTypes on your favorite operating system with your favorite compiler.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Robert Altman Writer: Al Hayes (based on a story by John Grisham) Starring: Kenneth Branagh, Embeth Davidtz, Roberty Downey Jr, Daryl Hannah, Robert Duvall, Famke Janssen, Tom Berenger, Jesse James, Mae Whitman
"The Gingerbread Man" is a film that almost cries out to be made into a piece of Hollywood fluff, and it would have been if it hadn't been directed by someone like Robert Altman. It's not surprising that this film is based on a story by John Grisham, one of the current kings (or at least he's a duke) of bestsellers, since it has to deal with his favorite topic - lawyers being forced to go above and beyond their duties - and because it soon descends into a kafkaesque nightmare where the protagonist's life is turned inside out.
Yet it's effortlessly not like the other Grisham films, like "The Firm" and "The Client." There's more atmosphere, more plausible twists, less contrivance (in comparison, that is), and one other quality the other lacked: surprise. As a hurricane (nicely titled "Geraldo") sweeps through the film's location of Savannah, Georgia, the film tells a nice piece of pulp where the twists are geniuine, and so is the atmosphere and the characters. And yet the pulp is another of the Grisham lawyer stories, following a formula that has been perfected yet doesn't feel like it's being followed all the time.
The story deals with, well, a southern lawyer named Rick Magruder (Kenneth Branagh, with a flawless and not-at-all annoying Southern accent), who arrives home from a case one night and finds his staff and friends have thrown a party for him. After chatting it up with his assistant (Daryl Hannah, who's not at all bad in this) and a couple of his other staffers, he leaves and runs into a waitress who was there, Mallory (Embeth Davidtz), who's car is stolen and who ends up with a ride home from Rick. Rick discovers that Mallory suspects her father (Robert Duvall), a crazy old man who has been stalking her of late, stole it, and when back at her house, the two become close as she tells him of her problems and he tries unsuccessfully to help. The two end the conversation by sleeping together.
>From here on, Rick begins to feel a certain need to help her, and he manages to get her father to court, where they win effortlessly, and he is sent to a mental institution. But he is broken out by a cult he belongs to, and soon Rick's life is being turned upside down. He gets threats in the mail, finds out cars are following him, and soon begins to take the law into his own hand. For once in a real long time, Altman manages to make everything very suspenseful, with some real geniune nail biters here, even though the final chapter of the film is basically one big predictable contrivance, bringing it to a cliched albeit less glossy ending that it could have avoided.
It's not the plot I really liked about this film. Most Grisham plots are in all reality just throwaways. His novels are entertaining, but let's face it: they're forgettable. You read it while on vacation or on breaks from work, and when you're done, you read his next book and the cycle just continues. What Altman has done differently, something which the other directors didn't do, is give it a personal touch. Altman's a very original director. He goes for a less glossy approach to all his films, using lots of sloppy and improvised close-ups, following many voice tracks at one time, and just allowing the film to lay still as he allows characters to just hang out. Look at how he designs Rick's office staff and you'll see how loose and free this film really is, even if its confined by a plot.
As for the element of surprise it introduces - what I mean is that it allows us to feel a lot like the characters, and it never really lets us onto thinking of possible conspiracies. We go along with everything. We're there with Rick in his rage towards the second half of the film, when his kids are kidnapped by someone and we all know who did it. It doesn't hurt that Kenneth Branagh is such a likable actor that he manages to make Rick, who could be just a lawyer who may just be on the receiving end of instant karma, into a sympathetic and lovable guy.
I can't say I totally liked this film. It's still a contrived film, with an ending that Altman fought with the studio over and you wonder why he didn't just look for a better one. And Altman's free direction, which allows mood and characters to be more prominent than plot doesn't exactly work perfectly well with a film where the plot is so important. And this film is disappointing in one major way: just the fact that this was directed by someone as amazing as Altman. This certainly can't be a step forward for the same man who less than a decade ago made a brilliant little film called "The Player."
But I'm still one of the few people who try to look at every film by a director as a singular piece of art, and not judge him from his others. This man has made "M*A*S*H" and "Nashville." So what? Directors sometimes need to take breaks but still direct, and making films like this, that are never meant to be masterpieces is sometimes refreshing. I remember when Martin Scorsese made "Cape Fear" and some critics criticized it for not being as great as, say, "Raging Bull." I suppose the difference between this film and that one is that "Cape Fear" WAS a great film, and "The Gingerbread Man" is merely just good.

Hardware fails. Sometimes because of something you did and sometimes due to no fault of your own. No matter how careful you are. No matter how many precautions you take.
There are many causes of hardware failure. A corrupted hard drive. A fault in motherboard. A dead memory. Inadequate power supply.
Harddrive failures are the costliest of them all. Although a hard disk is one of the cheapest parts of a computer and yet it is one that is most precious to you. After all, all your data, the hard work of so many years is contained inside the hard disk. You can replace the motherborad. Buy your self a new RAM. Fix the CPU fan. But once the data in the hard disk is lost it can be very difficult to get it back.
Data backup and archival is something that you should be doing a regular basis. There are many strategies for data backup.
Although they are the most convenient method of the 3 strategies cloud backups can get expensive in the long term. As the volume and the access to your data increases your costs tend to increase.
To reduce the costs of your cloud backups you can set up your own FTP server. Although the initial costs will be high over a period of time you’ll get both the convenience of online backups as well as cost reductions of an in house solution. But to keep such a system running you’d have to spend maintenance costs which depending upon the complexity of your requirements might be minimal or huge. It is not advisable to run an in house server unless you have the required technical expertise.
Cloud backups and setting up your own NFS servers are both examples of online data backups. Where your storage is always available and you can access your data as long as you’re connected to the network. But what if you don’t have a network access? Or what if the network access is too slow for the volume of data you need?
In that case offline backups are the best solution. A physical harddrive is one of the most effective investments you can make to keep your data safe. You can use the hard disks in a couple of ways. You can either
The effort required to back up the data is minimal. All you need to do is connect the disk and run the backup program on your computer.
It is also a good idea to set a life expectancy to each of the disks that you use on your workstations. For example you may retire a disk after 3 years or after 5 years. Retiring a disk does not mean that you throw it away. It simply means that you no longer write on to this disk and keep it as a read only archive. Something that can be used to lookup an old copy of an important file.
A harddrive that is not being written to/ not being modified can last for decades. Long enough time for you to extract all the value you can out of your data. After which point you may redeploy these systems into computing tasks that don’t require you to store any sensitive data. Or example customer support machines where your staff has to respond to inquires from your customer.
Offline standby systems
Data loss is one cause of concern when it comes to dealing with disk failures. Another problem is loss of equipment for the duration it takes to restore the original workstation.
There is a better way. By creating ready to boot harddrives you can have multiple copies of a running operating system that can be integrated in any workstation. You can switch harddrives when one fails. You can retire old hard drives early. You can set up new machines quickly and reduce the total cost of ownership of your IT systems. So that you can expand your IT infrastructure on demand.

The series of #myeuropaplog documents my travel photos in Europe (central and east parts) back in May 2017. Please checkt the tag for the past dozens of posts if you’d like.
我的歐洲行旅照片記錄系列，是以旅遊照片的方式記錄了我2017年5月到中東歐洲之行，歡迎由 #myeuropaplog標籤來瀏覽過去幾十篇分享喔！
Today we will continue our Vienna trip. This time it is one of the tourists’ favorite spot and restaurant - Cafe Central !!! See how welcoming it is located in the heart of the Vienna city and by its construction style you can also imagine that you were here when it opened in 1876 …
今日繼續維也納之旅。來到旅人朝聖的熱門地點，中央咖啡館！哇！看看它所在位置的氣派大方。從建築物的風格，你似乎都可以想像自己在它1876年開幕時，來到這裡用餐呢！
Wow! Look at its high and historical ceiling …
看看這裡挑高的古典屋頂
Oops! Who is this guy sitting alone near the entrance? ^^
呦，這位大叔怎麼一個人坐在入口處啊？^^
Good morning Sir, Madam, Can I take your order? (ok, actually these waiters weren’t this friendly ^^ )
早安先生小姐，要點些什麼呢？（其實這裡的服務生不是這種美式友善路線，比較酷一點 ^^）
Good choice for your breakfast! Bon apetite!
早餐來了！請慢用！ （在歐洲吃早餐哪！~~~~ 心底吶喊著）
https://steemitimages.com/DQmS74vUmKeWHGRjgW1pxmxUSHgfcACj4zk9uTNWHKrfimF/DSC_0605.JPG
I know it was weird to have wine in the breakfast (or it isn’t?) but we were gonna be here only once in that trip so we tried to enjoy as much as we can and kind of did it all in one time … lol
哈哈，早餐也喝點白葡萄酒，是不是有點怪？沒辦法，只會來一次，就都試試看，多多感受一下！什麼都給我端上來！哈哈！
Next to our table was an old couple from UK (did not take photo with or at them) and they were busying writing postcards at first, then when they enjoyed their coffee we helped take photo for them so we chatted for a little bit.
我們鄰桌後來來了一對英國老夫妻，一來就忙著在寫明信片，應該是類似Wish you were here這類
炫耀信吧！好有觀光客餐廳的感覺啊！後來幫他們拍照所以才知道是英國來的~~~~
Bye Bye Cafe Central! See you next time!
再見了，我的中央咖啡館的早晨。

Hawks colonel shot dead at Cape Town home
by Riaan GroblerA member of the Western Cape Hawks, Colonel Christelle Stemmet, 47, was shot dead at her home in Table View in Cape Town at around 20:00 on Sunday.
According to Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Philani Nkwalase, Stemmet was shot twice and died on the scene.
Netwerk24 reported that two spent bullet casings were found on the scene, but the murder weapon was not recovered.
A friend of Stemmet's reportedly contacted the police following the shooting.
A source close to the preliminary investigations told News24 that the shooting resulted from a family dispute.
On Monday, the Hawks issued a statement in which the unit conveyed its deepest condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Stemmet.
"The untimely passing of the our member, attached to Serious Corruption Investigation team, occurred [on Sunday] evening at her home in West Beach at Table View," the statement read.
"It is alleged that two shots were fired and she was fatally wounded. The motive of the incident is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the local detectives; however, [a] preliminary investigation at this stage has ruled out any links to the Hawks' investigations that she was handling," said Nkwalase.
"An inquest docket has been opened to explore circumstances surrounding the death of such a seasoned and dedicated officer."
This is a developing story.

ACT I
SCENE 2. The island. Before PROSPERO'S cell.
Enter PROSPERO and MIRANDAMIRANDA
If by your art, my dearest father, you havePROSPERO
Put the wild waters in this roar, allay them.
The sky, it seems, would pour down stinking pitch,
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin's cheek,
Dashes the fire out. O, I have suffered
With those that I saw suffer: a brave vessel,
Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her,
Dash'd all to pieces. O, the cry did knock
Against my very heart. Poor souls, they perish'd.
Had I been any god of power, I would
Have sunk the sea within the earth or ere
It should the good ship so have swallow'd and
The fraughting souls within her.
MIRANDA
Be collected:
No more amazement: tell your piteous heart
There's no harm done.
PROSPERO
O, woe the day!
MIRANDA
No harm.

PROSPERO
More to know
Did never meddle with my thoughts.
MIRANDA
'Tis time
I should inform thee farther. Lend thy hand,
And pluck my magic garment from me. So:
Lays down his mantle
Lie there, my art. Wipe thou thine eyes; have comfort.
The direful spectacle of the wreck, which touch'd
The very virtue of compassion in thee,
I have with such provision in mine art
So safely ordered that there is no soul--
No, not so much perdition as an hair
Betid to any creature in the vessel
Which thou heard'st cry, which thou saw'st sink. Sit down;
For thou must now know farther.
PROSPERO
You have often
Begun to tell me what I am, but stopp'd
And left me to a bootless inquisition,
Concluding 'Stay: not yet.'
MIRANDA
The hour's now come;
The very minute bids thee ope thine ear;
Obey and be attentive. Canst thou remember
A time before we came unto this cell?
I do not think thou canst, for then thou wast not
Out three years old.
PROSPERO
Certainly, sir, I can.
MIRANDA
By what? by any other house or person?
Of any thing the image tell me that
Hath kept with thy remembrance.
 Had I not
Four or five women once that tended me?
MIRANDA
Thou hadst, and more, Miranda. But how is it
That this lives in thy mind? What seest thou else
In the dark backward and abysm of time?
If thou remember'st aught ere thou camest here,
How thou camest here thou mayst.
PROSPERO
But that I do not.
MIRANDA
Twelve year since, Miranda, twelve year since,
Thy father was the Duke of Milan and
A prince of power.
PROSPERO
Sir, are not you my father?

PROSPERO
O the heavens!
What foul play had we, that we came from thence?
Or blessed was't we did?
MIRANDA
Both, both, my girl:
By foul play, as thou say'st, were we heaved thence,
But blessedly holp hither.
PROSPERO
O, my heart bleeds
To think o' the teen that I have turn'd you to,
Which is from my remembrance! Please you, farther.
MIRANDA
My brother and thy uncle, call'd Antonio--
I pray thee, mark me--that a brother should
Be so perfidious!--he whom next thyself
Of all the world I loved and to him put
The manage of my state; as at that time
Through all the signories it was the first
And Prospero the prime duke, being so reputed
In dignity, and for the liberal arts
Without a parallel; those being all my study,
The government I cast upon my brother
And to my state grew stranger, being transported
And rapt in secret studies. Thy false uncle--
Dost thou attend me?
PROSPERO
Sir, most heedfully.
MIRANDA
Being once perfected how to grant suits,
How to deny them, who to advance and who
To trash for over-topping, new created
The creatures that were mine, I say, or changed 'em,
Or else new form'd 'em; having both the key
Of officer and office, set all hearts i' the state
To what tune pleased his ear; that now he was
The ivy which had hid my princely trunk,
And suck'd my verdure out on't. Thou attend'st not.
PROSPERO
O, good sir, I do.
MIRANDA
I pray thee, mark me.
I, thus neglecting worldly ends, all dedicated
To closeness and the bettering of my mind
With that which, but by being so retired,
O'er-prized all popular rate, in my false brother
Awaked an evil nature; and my trust,
Like a good parent, did beget of him
A falsehood in its contrary as great
As my trust was; which had indeed no limit,
A confidence sans bound. He being thus lorded,
Not only with what my revenue yielded,
But what my power might else exact, like one
Who having into truth, by telling of it,
Made such a sinner of his memory,
To credit his own lie, he did believe
He was indeed the duke; out o' the substitution
And executing the outward face of royalty,
With all prerogative: hence his ambition growing--
Dost thou hear?

MIRANDA
To have no screen between this part he play'd
And him he play'd it for, he needs will be
Absolute Milan. Me, poor man, my library
Was dukedom large enough: of temporal royalties
He thinks me now incapable; confederates--
So dry he was for sway--wi' the King of Naples
To give him annual tribute, do him homage,
Subject his coronet to his crown and bend
The dukedom yet unbow'd--alas, poor Milan!--
To most ignoble stooping.
PROSPERO
O the heavens!
MIRANDA
Mark his condition and the event; then tell me
If this might be a brother.
PROSPERO
I should sin
To think but nobly of my grandmother:
Good wombs have borne bad sons.
MIRANDA
Now the condition.
The King of Naples, being an enemy
To me inveterate, hearkens my brother's suit;
Which was, that he, in lieu o' the premises
Of homage and I know not how much tribute,
Should presently extirpate me and mine
Out of the dukedom and confer fair Milan
With all the honours on my brother: whereon,
A treacherous army levied, one midnight
Fated to the purpose did Antonio open
The gates of Milan, and, i' the dead of darkness,
The ministers for the purpose hurried thence
Me and thy crying self.
PROSPERO
Alack, for pity!
I, not remembering how I cried out then,
Will cry it o'er again: it is a hint
That wrings mine eyes to't.
MIRANDA
Hear a little further
And then I'll bring thee to the present business
Which now's upon's; without the which this story
Were most impertinent.
PROSPERO
Wherefore did they not
That hour destroy us?
MIRANDA
Well demanded, wench:
My tale provokes that question.
In few, they hurried us aboard a bark,
Bore us some leagues to sea; where they prepared
A rotten carcass of a boat, not rigg'd,
Nor tackle, sail, nor mast; the very rats
Instinctively had quit it: there they hoist us,
To cry to the sea that roar'd to us, to sigh
To the winds whose pity, sighing back again,
Did us but loving wrong.
PROSPERO
Alack, what trouble
Was I then to you!
MIRANDA
O, a cherubim
Thou wast that did preserve me. Thou didst smile.
Infused with a fortitude from heaven,
When I have deck'd the sea with drops full salt,
Under my burthen groan'd; which raised in me
An undergoing stomach, to bear up
Against what should ensue.
PROSPERO
How came we ashore?
MIRANDA
By Providence divine.
Some food we had and some fresh water that
A noble Neapolitan, Gonzalo,
Out of his charity, being then appointed
Master of this design, did give us, with
Rich garments, linens, stuffs and necessaries,
Which since have steaded much; so, of his gentleness,
Knowing I loved my books, he furnish'd me
From mine own library with volumes that
I prize above my dukedom.
PROSPERO
Would I might
But ever see that man!
MIRANDA
Now I arise:
Resumes his mantle
Sit still, and hear the last of our sea-sorrow.
Here in this island we arrived; and here
Have I, thy schoolmaster, made thee more profit
Than other princesses can that have more time
For vainer hours and tutors not so careful.
PROSPERO
Heavens thank you for't!
ARIEL
Know thus far forth.
By accident most strange, bountiful Fortune,
Now my dear lady, hath mine enemies
Brought to this shore; and by my prescience
I find my zenith doth depend upon
A most auspicious star, whose influence
If now I court not but omit, my fortunes
Will ever after droop. Here cease more questions:
Thou art inclined to sleep; 'tis a good dulness,
And give it way: I know thou canst not choose.
MIRANDA sleeps
Come away, servant, come. I am ready now.
Approach, my Ariel, come.
Enter ARIEL
PROSPERO
All hail, great master! grave sir, hail! I come
To answer thy best pleasure; be't to fly,
To swim, to dive into the fire, to ride
On the curl'd clouds, to thy strong bidding task
Ariel and all his quality.
ARIEL
Hast thou, spirit,
Perform'd to point the tempest that I bade thee?
PROSPERO
To every article.
I boarded the king's ship; now on the beak,
Now in the waist, the deck, in every cabin,
I flamed amazement: sometime I'ld divide,
And burn in many places; on the topmast,
The yards and bowsprit, would I flame distinctly,
Then meet and join. Jove's lightnings, the precursors
O' the dreadful thunder-claps, more momentary
And sight-outrunning were not; the fire and cracks
Of sulphurous roaring the most mighty Neptune
Seem to besiege and make his bold waves tremble,
Yea, his dread trident shake.
ARIEL
My brave spirit!
Who was so firm, so constant, that this coil
Would not infect his reason?
PROSPERO
Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad and play'd
Some tricks of desperation. All but mariners
Plunged in the foaming brine and quit the vessel,
Then all afire with me: the king's son, Ferdinand,
With hair up-staring,--then like reeds, not hair,--
Was the first man that leap'd; cried, 'Hell is empty
And all the devils are here.'
ARIEL
Why that's my spirit!
But was not this nigh shore?
PROSPERO
Close by, my master.
ARIEL
But are they, Ariel, safe?
PROSPERO
Not a hair perish'd;
On their sustaining garments not a blemish,
But fresher than before: and, as thou badest me,
In troops I have dispersed them 'bout the isle.
The king's son have I landed by himself;
Whom I left cooling of the air with sighs
In an odd angle of the isle and sitting,
His arms in this sad knot.
ARIEL
Of the king's ship
The mariners say how thou hast disposed
And all the rest o' the fleet.
PROSPERO
Safely in harbour
Is the king's ship; in the deep nook, where once
Thou call'dst me up at midnight to fetch dew
From the still-vex'd Bermoothes, there she's hid:
The mariners all under hatches stow'd;
Who, with a charm join'd to their suffer'd labour,
I have left asleep; and for the rest o' the fleet
Which I dispersed, they all have met again
And are upon the Mediterranean flote,
Bound sadly home for Naples,
Supposing that they saw the king's ship wreck'd
And his great person perish.
ARIEL
Ariel, thy charge
Exactly is perform'd: but there's more work.
What is the time o' the day?
PROSPERO
Past the mid season.
ARIEL
At least two glasses. The time 'twixt six and now
Must by us both be spent most preciously.
PROSPERO
Is there more toil? Since thou dost give me pains,
Let me remember thee what thou hast promised,
Which is not yet perform'd me.
ARIEL
How now? moody?
What is't thou canst demand?
PROSPERO
My liberty.
ARIEL
Before the time be out? no more!
PROSPERO
I prithee,
Remember I have done thee worthy service;
Told thee no lies, made thee no mistakings, served
Without or grudge or grumblings: thou didst promise
To bate me a full year.
ARIEL
Dost thou forget
From what a torment I did free thee?
PROSPERO
No.
ARIEL
Thou dost, and think'st it much to tread the ooze
Of the salt deep,
To run upon the sharp wind of the north,
To do me business in the veins o' the earth
When it is baked with frost.
PROSPERO
I do not, sir.
ARIEL
Thou liest, malignant thing! Hast thou forgot
The foul witch Sycorax, who with age and envy
Was grown into a hoop? hast thou forgot her?
PROSPERO
No, sir.
ARIEL
Thou hast. Where was she born? speak; tell me.
PROSPERO
Sir, in Argier.
ARIEL
O, was she so? I must
Once in a month recount what thou hast been,
Which thou forget'st. This damn'd witch Sycorax,
For mischiefs manifold and sorceries terrible
To enter human hearing, from Argier,
Thou know'st, was banish'd: for one thing she did
They would not take her life. Is not this true?
PROSPERO
Ay, sir.
ARIEL
This blue-eyed hag was hither brought with child
And here was left by the sailors. Thou, my slave,
As thou report'st thyself, wast then her servant;
And, for thou wast a spirit too delicate
To act her earthy and abhorr'd commands,
Refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee,
By help of her more potent ministers
And in her most unmitigable rage,
Into a cloven pine; within which rift
Imprison'd thou didst painfully remain
A dozen years; within which space she died
And left thee there; where thou didst vent thy groans
As fast as mill-wheels strike. Then was this island--
Save for the son that she did litter here,
A freckled whelp hag-born--not honour'd with
A human shape.
PROSPERO
Yes, Caliban her son.
ARIEL
Dull thing, I say so; he, that Caliban
Whom now I keep in service. Thou best know'st
What torment I did find thee in; thy groans
Did make wolves howl and penetrate the breasts
Of ever angry bears: it was a torment
To lay upon the damn'd, which Sycorax
Could not again undo: it was mine art,
When I arrived and heard thee, that made gape
The pine and let thee out.
PROSPERO
I thank thee, master.
ARIEL
If thou more murmur'st, I will rend an oak
And peg thee in his knotty entrails till
Thou hast howl'd away twelve winters.
PROSPERO
Pardon, master;
I will be correspondent to command
And do my spiriting gently.
ARIEL
Do so, and after two days
I will discharge thee.
PROSPERO
That's my noble master!
What shall I do? say what; what shall I do?
MIRANDA
Go make thyself like a nymph o' the sea: be subject
To no sight but thine and mine, invisible
To every eyeball else. Go take this shape
And hither come in't: go, hence with diligence!
Exit ARIEL
Awake, dear heart, awake! thou hast slept well; Awake!
PROSPERO
The strangeness of your story put
Heaviness in me.
MIRANDA
Shake it off.
PROSPERO
'Tis a villain, sir,
I do not love to look on.
CALIBAN
But, as 'tis,
We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,
Fetch in our wood and serves in offices
That profit us. What, ho! slave! Caliban!
Thou earth, thou! speak.
PROSPERO
[Within] There's wood enough within.
ARIEL
Come forth, I say! there's other business for thee:
Come, thou tortoise! when?
Re-enter ARIEL like a water-nymph
Fine apparition! My quaint Ariel,
Hark in thine ear.
PROSPERO
My lord it shall be done.
Exit
CALIBAN
Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself
Upon thy wicked dam, come forth!

CALIBAN
For this, be sure, to-night thou shalt have cramps,
Side-stitches that shall pen thy breath up; urchins
Shall, for that vast of night that they may work,
All exercise on thee; thou shalt be pinch'd
As thick as honeycomb, each pinch more stinging
Than bees that made 'em.
PROSPERO
I must eat my dinner.
This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
Which thou takest from me. When thou camest first,
Thou strokedst me and madest much of me, wouldst give me
Water with berries in't, and teach me how
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
That burn by day and night: and then I loved thee
And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle,
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile:
Cursed be I that did so! All the charms
Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you!
For I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was mine own king: and here you sty me
In this hard rock, whiles you do keep from me
The rest o' the island.
CALIBAN
Thou most lying slave,
Whom stripes may move, not kindness! I have used thee,
Filth as thou art, with human care, and lodged thee
In mine own cell, till thou didst seek to violate
The honour of my child.
PROSPERO
O ho, O ho! would't had been done!
Thou didst prevent me; I had peopled else
This isle with Calibans.
CALIBAN
Abhorred slave,
Which any print of goodness wilt not take,
Being capable of all ill! I pitied thee,
Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour
One thing or other: when thou didst not, savage,
Know thine own meaning, but wouldst gabble like
A thing most brutish, I endow'd thy purposes
With words that made them known. But thy vile race,
Though thou didst learn, had that in't which
good natures
Could not abide to be with; therefore wast thou
Deservedly confined into this rock,
Who hadst deserved more than a prison.
PROSPERO
You taught me language; and my profit on't
Is, I know how to curse. The red plague rid you
For learning me your language!
CALIBAN
Hag-seed, hence!
Fetch us in fuel; and be quick, thou'rt best,
To answer other business. Shrug'st thou, malice?
If thou neglect'st or dost unwillingly
What I command, I'll rack thee with old cramps,
Fill all thy bones with aches, make thee roar
That beasts shall tremble at thy din.
PROSPERO
No, pray thee.
Aside
I must obey: his art is of such power,
It would control my dam's god, Setebos,
and make a vassal of him.
FERDINAND
So, slave; hence!
Exit CALIBAN
Re-enter ARIEL, invisible, playing and singing; FERDINAND following
ARIEL'S song.
Come unto these yellow sands,
And then take hands:
Courtsied when you have and kiss'd
The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burthen bear.
Hark, hark!
Burthen [dispersedly, within
The watch-dogs bark!
Burthen Bow-wow
Hark, hark! I hear
The strain of strutting chanticleer
Cry, Cock-a-diddle-dow.
FERDINAND
Where should this music be? i' the air or the earth?
It sounds no more: and sure, it waits upon
Some god o' the island. Sitting on a bank,
Weeping again the king my father's wreck,
This music crept by me upon the waters,
Allaying both their fury and my passion
With its sweet air: thence I have follow'd it,
Or it hath drawn me rather. But 'tis gone.
No, it begins again.
ARIEL sings
Full fathom five thy father lies;
Of his bones are coral made;
Those are pearls that were his eyes:
Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
Burthen Ding-dong
Hark! now I hear them,--Ding-dong, bell.
PROSPERO
The ditty does remember my drown'd father.
This is no mortal business, nor no sound
That the earth owes. I hear it now above me.
MIRANDA
The fringed curtains of thine eye advance
And say what thou seest yond.
PROSPERO
What is't? a spirit?
Lord, how it looks about! Believe me, sir,
It carries a brave form. But 'tis a spirit.
MIRANDA
No, wench; it eats and sleeps and hath such senses
As we have, such. This gallant which thou seest
Was in the wreck; and, but he's something stain'd
With grief that's beauty's canker, thou mightst call him
A goodly person: he hath lost his fellows
And strays about to find 'em.
PROSPERO
I might call him
A thing divine, for nothing natural
I ever saw so noble.
FERDINAND
[Aside] It goes on, I see,
As my soul prompts it. Spirit, fine spirit! I'll free thee
Within two days for this.
MIRANDA
Most sure, the goddess
On whom these airs attend! Vouchsafe my prayer
May know if you remain upon this island;
And that you will some good instruction give
How I may bear me here: my prime request,
Which I do last pronounce, is, O you wonder!
If you be maid or no?
FERDINAND
No wonder, sir;
But certainly a maid.
PROSPERO
My language! heavens!
I am the best of them that speak this speech,
Were I but where 'tis spoken.
FERDINAND
How? the best?
What wert thou, if the King of Naples heard thee?
MIRANDA
A single thing, as I am now, that wonders
To hear thee speak of Naples. He does hear me;
And that he does I weep: myself am Naples,
Who with mine eyes, never since at ebb, beheld
The king my father wreck'd.
FERDINAND
Alack, for mercy!
PROSPERO
Yes, faith, and all his lords; the Duke of Milan
And his brave son being twain.
MIRANDA
[Aside] The Duke of Milan
And his more braver daughter could control thee,
If now 'twere fit to do't. At the first sight
They have changed eyes. Delicate Ariel,
I'll set thee free for this.
To FERDINAND
A word, good sir;
I fear you have done yourself some wrong: a word.
FERDINAND
Why speaks my father so ungently? This
Is the third man that e'er I saw, the first
That e'er I sigh'd for: pity move my father
To be inclined my way!

FERDINAND
Soft, sir! one word more.
Aside
They are both in either's powers; but this swift business
I must uneasy make, lest too light winning
Make the prize light.
To FERDINAND
One word more; I charge thee
That thou attend me: thou dost here usurp
The name thou owest not; and hast put thyself
Upon this island as a spy, to win it
From me, the lord on't.
MIRANDA
No, as I am a man.
PROSPERO
There's nothing ill can dwell in such a temple:
If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with't.
FERDINAND
Follow me.
 Come;
I'll manacle thy neck and feet together:
Sea-water shalt thou drink; thy food shall be
The fresh-brook muscles, wither'd roots and husks
Wherein the acorn cradled. Follow.
MIRANDA
No;
I will resist such entertainment till
Mine enemy has more power.
Draws, and is charmed from moving
PROSPERO
O dear father,
Make not too rash a trial of him, for
He's gentle and not fearful.
MIRANDA
What? I say,
My foot my tutor? Put thy sword up, traitor;
Who makest a show but darest not strike, thy conscience
Is so possess'd with guilt: come from thy ward,
For I can here disarm thee with this stick
And make thy weapon drop.
PROSPERO
Beseech you, father.
MIRANDA
Hence! hang not on my garments.
PROSPERO
Sir, have pity;
I'll be his surety.
MIRANDA
Silence! one word more
Shall make me chide thee, if not hate thee. What!
An advocate for an imposter! hush!
Thou think'st there is no more such shapes as he,
Having seen but him and Caliban: foolish wench!
To the most of men this is a Caliban
And they to him are angels.
PROSPERO
My affections
Are then most humble; I have no ambition
To see a goodlier man.

My father's loss, the weakness which I feel,
The wreck of all my friends, nor this man's threats,
To whom I am subdued, are but light to me,
Might I but through my prison once a day
Behold this maid: all corners else o' the earth
Let liberty make use of; space enough
Have I in such a prison.
MIRANDA
[Aside] It works.
To FERDINAND
Come on.
Thou hast done well, fine Ariel!
To FERDINAND
Follow me.
To ARIEL
Hark what thou else shalt do me.
PROSPERO
Be of comfort;
My father's of a better nature, sir,
Than he appears by speech: this is unwonted
Which now came from him.
ARIEL
Thou shalt be free
As mountain winds: but then exactly do
All points of my command.
PROSPERO
To the syllable.
Come, follow. Speak not for him.

British Airways passengers held at Heathrow Airport after 'incident' on flight
Passengers on British Airways flight BA867 from Budapest to Heathrow were held at the airport after reports of an 'incident' on the plane
by Tom Davidson, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/tom-davidson/British Airways passengers have been held at Heathrow Airport after reports of an incident on the flight from Budapest this evening.
Five people who had been onboard flight BA867 were looked over by paramedics, according to a statement from the London Ambulance Service.
Passengers on the flight were 'detained' by emergency services after the plane landed at roughly 7pm, reports MyLondon.
One woman reportedly collapsed in distress while they were being held.
Those onboard were not told the nature of the emergency.
Have you been affected by this story? Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>A London Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called at 6.55pm today to reports of an incident at Heathrow Airport, Hounslow.
“We dispatched an ambulance crew, two incident response officers and our hazardous area response team (HART) to the scene.
“We assessed five people at the scene but did not take anyone to hospital.”
Geraldine Fusciardi, who was one of the passengers detained, said: "We were locked in the room for about 40 minutes. One woman collapsed in distress just as they were letting us out. No apology.
"Five minutes after they told us it was a major incident and physically prevented people from leaving the room - including some distressed women who needed the toilet - they released us all with some vague comments about engineering issue on plane."
Mark Weston on Twitter said his wife and son were on the flight and were 'physically checked' by no information was provided about the incident.
A BA spokesperson said: "Our aircraft requested a priority landing as a precaution after experiencing a minor technical issue.
"Our teams looked after our customers and helped get them on their way as soon as possible. We are sorry to our customers for the delay to their travel plans."
London Fire Brigade have confirmed they attended but couldn't provide any further information.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: "Police at Heathrow Airport were called to an inbound flight from Budapest following reports of an issue on the plane.
"Officers, London Ambulance Service and London Fire Brigade attended. There were no reported injuries.
"None of those on board required medical attention from LAS. There are no reported offences or matters for police attention.
"The fault or smell reported on the aircraft is believed to be related to a mechanical issue."

An examination of DNA samples from letters, envelopes and stamps reportedly

For-profit schools sell off their textbooks

Edison Schools, Inc. is in financial straits and being forced to sell off

teaching, anyway? 23 U.S. states do it. There is so much funny in this article:
"Chris Whittle, the company's charismatic chief executive and founder,
recently told a meeting of school principals that he'd thought up an
ingenious solution to the company's financial woes: Take advantage of the
free supply of child labour, and force each student to work an hour a day,
presumably without pay, in the school offices."

Rats, it's getting cold outside
by Darren Handschuh"If it's cold, let them in." A mantra for pet owners, but most people would agree that this does not apply to rats.
There was a significant increase in the rat population in the Okanagan this summer with social media pages buzzing about the pests taking over yards and gardens.
Social media is once again buzzing about rats, but now it's about the rodents looking for a warm place to spend the winter.
Matt Wright, with Orkin Vernon, said rats can find their way into a home through even the smallest of openings.
But there are things people can do to keep the critters out of the house.
“They are looking for any place out of the weather, so they will look at sheds, garages and stuff like that for sure,” said Wright. “Attics are a top priority for them because they are nice and warm up there.”
Wright recommends cutting back trees and shrubs from touching the house so rats cannot climb up onto the roof and find a way in.
It is also a good idea to get rid of any fruit, such as fallen apples, that may still may still be in the yard as that will be an attractant for the rodents.
The compost should be turned over regularly, or be put in a rodent-proof bin will also reduce attractants for the critters.
Wright said snap traps, live traps – where the rats will then be relocated – or poisons are the only way to wage war on rats.
Some people on social media expressed concerns about using poisons on rats for fear a cat, owl or some other domestic predator would then eat the poisoned rat and die, but Andrea Deneumoustier with Pest Detective, said the poison is placed in bait traps so no other animals can get at it.
And if a cat or bird does eat a poisoned rat, Deneumoustier said the amount of poison in the rat's system would not harm the larger animals.
“The amount of rats they would have to consume would be a lot,” she said.


The Flink project welcomes all sort of contributions in the form of code (improvements, features, bugfixes), tests, documentation, and community participation (discussions & questions).
We maintain all known issues and feature drafts in the Flink JIRA project.
We also try to maintain a list of simple “starter issues” that we believe are good tasks for new contributors. Those tasks are meant to allow people to get into the project and become familiar with the process of contributing. Feel free to ask questions about issues that you would be interested in working on.
In addition, you can find a list of ideas for projects and improvements in the projects Wiki page.
This section gives you a brief introduction in how to contribute code and documentation to Flink. We maintain both the code and the documentation in the same repository, so the process is essentially the same for both. We use git for the code and documentation version control. The documentation is located in the docs/
subdirectory of the git repository.
The Flink project accepts code contributions through the GitHub Mirror, in the form of Pull Requests. Pull requests are basically a simpler way of offering a patch, by providing a pointer to a code branch that contains the change.
It is also possible to attach a patch to a JIRA issue.
The first step is to create yourself a copy of the Flink code base. We suggest to fork the Flink GitHub Mirror Repository into your own GitHub account. You need to register on GitHub for that, if you have no account so far.
Next, clone your repository fork to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/<your-user-name>/flink.git
It is typically helpful to switch to a topic branch for the changes. To create a dedicated branch based on the current master, use the following command:
git checkout -b myBranch master
Now you can create your changes, compile the code, and validate the changes. Here are some pointers on how to build the code. In addition to that, we recommend setting up Eclipse (or IntelliJ) using the “Import Maven Project” feature:
If you want to work on the Scala code you will need the following plugins:
Eclipse 4.x:
http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/e38/scala210/stable/site
http://alchim31.free.fr/m2e-scala/update-site
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2e-extras/0.15.0/N/<IP_ADDRESS>206251206/
Eclipse 3.7:
http://download.scala-ide.org/sdk/e37/scala210/stable/site
http://alchim31.free.fr/m2e-scala/update-site
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2e-extras/0.14.0/N/<IP_ADDRESS>109282148/
If you don’t have the plugins your project will have build errors, but you can just close the Scala projects and ignore them.
After you have finalized your contribution, verify the compliance with the contribution guidelines (see below), and make the commit. To make the changes easily mergeable, please rebase them to the latest version of the main repository’s master branch.
Push the contribution back into your fork of the Flink repository.
git push origin myBranch
Go the website of your repository fork (https://github.com/<your-user-name>/flink
) and use the “Create Pull Request” button to start creating a pull request. Make sure that the base fork is apache/flink master
and the head fork selects the branch with your changes. Give the pull request a meaningful description and send it.
Before sending a patch or pull request, please verify that it complies with the guidelines of the project. While we try to keep the set of guidelines small and easy, it is important to follow those rules in order to guarantee good code quality, to allow efficient reviews, and to allow committers to easily merge your changes.
Please have a look at the coding guidelines for a guide to the format of code and pull requests.
Most important of all, verify that your changes are correct and do not break existing functionality. Run the existing tests by calling mvn verify
in the root directory of the repository, and make sure that the tests succeed. We encourage every contributor to use a continuous integration service that will automatically test the code in your repository whenever you push a change. Flink is pre-configured for Travis CI, which can be easily enabled for your private repository fork (it uses GitHub for authentication, so you don’t need an additional account). Simply add the Travis CI hook to your repository (settings –> webhooks & services –> add service) and enable tests for the “flink” repository on Travis.
When contributing documentation, please review the rendered HTML versions of the documents you changed. You can look at the HTML pages by using the rendering script in preview mode.
cd docs
./build_docs.sh -p
Now, open your browser at http://localhost:4000
and check out the pages you changed.
The website of Apache Flink is hosted in a separate Git repository. We suggest making a fork of the flink-web GitHub mirror repository.
To make changes to the website, you have to checkout its source code first. The website resides in the asf-site
branch of the repository:
git clone -b asf-site https://github.com/<your-user-name>/flink-web.git
cd flink-web
The flink-web
directory contains the files that we use to build the website. We use Jekyll to generate static HTML files for the website.
The files and directories in the website git repository have the following roles:
.md
are Markdown files. Those are the input for the HTML files._
)) contain also .md
files. The directory structure is also represented in the generated HTML files._posts
directory contains one Markdown file for each blog post on the website. To contribute a post, just add a new file there._includes/
directory contains includeable files such as the navigation bar or the footer.docs/
directory contains copies of the documentation of Flink for different releases. There is a directory inside docs/
for each stable release and the latest SNAPSHOT version. The build script is taking care of the maintenance of this directory.content/
directory contains the generated HTML files from Jekyll. It is important to place the files in this directory since the Apache Infrastructure to host the Flink website is pulling the HTML content from his directory. (For committers: When pushing changes to the website repository, push also the updates in the content/
directory!)build.sh
script.build.sh
scriptThe build.sh
script creates HTML files from the input Markdown files. Use the -p
flag to let Jekyll serve a preview of the website on http://localhost:4000/
.
The build script also takes care of maintaining the docs/
directory. Set the -u
flag to update documentation. This includes fetching the Flink git repository and copying different versions of the documentation.
There is no strict protocol for becoming a committer. Candidates for new committers are typically people that are active contributors and community members.
Being an active community member means participating on mailing list discussions, helping to answer questions, being respectful towards others, and following the meritocratic principles of community management. Since the “Apache Way” has a strong focus on the project community, this part is very important.
Of course, contributing code to the project is important as well. A good way to start is contributing improvements, new features, or bugfixes. You need to show that you take responsibility for the code that you contribute, add tests/documentation, and help maintaining it.
Finally, candidates for new committers are suggested by current committers, mentors, or PMC members, and voted upon by the PMC.
Only the infrastructure team of the ASF has administrative access to the GitHub mirror. Therefore, comitters have to push changes to the git repository at the ASF.

To merge pull requests from our Flink GitHub mirror, there is a script in the source ./tools/merge_pull_request.sh.template
. Rename it to merge_pull_request.sh
with the appropriate settings and use it for merging.
Apache Flink 0.10-SNAPSHOT
is our latest development version.
You can download a packaged version of our nightly builds, which include the most recent development code. You can use them if you need a feature before its release. Only builds that pass all tests are published here.
Add the Apache Snapshot repository to your Maven pom.xml
:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>apache.snapshots</id>
<name>Apache Development Snapshot Repository</name>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url>
<releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
You can now include Apache Flink as a Maven dependency (see above) with version 0.10-SNAPSHOT
(or 0.10-SNAPSHOT-hadoop1
for compatibility with old Hadoop 1.x versions).
