I can answer in more detail later but for now take a look at xread.
xread parses text XML and produces an in memory XML document.
ml:get ... -t | xread x
Now x is an XML doc and you can do
echo <[ $x//elem ]>

I have an xmlsh function that wraps an ML query. The ML query imports some (xquery) library modules, then calls an xquery function.
The xmlsh function wraps ml:query -t -q "....$1"
So far, so good.
my-func myfile.xml
works like a charm
I used the -t option in my query because myfile.xml includes a DOCTYPE declaration which xmlsh complains about, and is irrelevant to me at this point.
But I would like the XML as XML and run an xpath on it
So, I do a variety of things that don't work, but this works:
a=$(my-func myfile.xml |grep -v DOCTYPE)
b=<[$a]>
echo $b |xpath //my-tag
However, this does not work:
xpath //my-tag <[ $(my-func myfile.xml |grep -v DOCTYPE) ]>
I get this error message, and then it hangs
[stdin line: 23]
Error expanding xml expression
Then, with ^?, I get:
stdin line: 24]
Exception running: xpath
org.xmlsh.core.CoreException: net.sf.saxon.s9api.SaxonApiException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
Nor, retreating to a less terse approach, does this work:
xpath //xref <[ $a ]>
which hangs.
Not sure if there is a time-out, but for once, I got the following error message (usually, I have to control-c out of the shell. Actually, it seems like ^? gets me out gracefully with the error message).
[stdin line: 25]
Exception running: xpath
org.xmlsh.core.CoreException: net.sf.saxon.s9api.SaxonApiException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
So, a few questions:
What am I doing wrong?
What in the documentation have I not grasped that would have steered me away from these errors?
Are there some remarks from a global perspective in the documentation that would have helped avoid the traps I fell into.
Here's another issue:
Functions that I define do not seem able to invoke defined functions, even if their declaration precedes their nested invocation.
That, and the errors I am encountering, suggest to me that there is some limit on the recursive evaluation of the expressions you receive.
Thank you for any assistance you could offer, and thank you for xmlsh.

This model contains two inertias which are connected by an ideal gear where the friction between the teeth of the gear is modeled in a physical meaningful way (friction may lead to stuck mode which locks the motion of the gear). The friction is defined by an efficiency factor (= 0.5) for forward and backward driving condition leading to a torque dependent friction loss. Simulate for about 0.5 seconds. The friction in the gear will take all modes (forward and backward rolling, as well as stuck).
You may plot:
Inertia1.w, Inertia2.w : angular velocities of inertias powerLoss : power lost in the gear gear.mode : 1 = forward rolling 0 = stuck (w=0) -1 = backward rolling

Configuring your application
Introduction
The FuelPHP framework is built with configuration over convention in mind. This results in a highly customizable base on which you can start building your application.
Configuration files are stored inside the app/config folder. The application's basic configuration is done in app/config/config.php. The loaded configuration can be made environment specific, more on this under Environments.
To overwrite settings from feature specific configs, either create a new file in app/config or copy the corresponding file from core/config to app/config.
Configuration options
These are the options that can be defined in the applications basic configuration file, app/config/config.php. When you have just installed FuelPHP, this file is empty. All default values, as defined below, are defined in the corresponding file in the core/config folder. When you want to override a default, add the key to the array in your app config file, and modify the value. Alternatively, copy the section from the core file to the app file, and modify it.
FuelPHP uses "dot-notation" when handling arrays. It is a convenient way of accessing elements of a multi-dimensional array. This notation is used in the documenation as well, as it provides an easy to type array reference. For example:
// when you see "always_load.packages = array()", it is shorthand for:
array("always_load" => array("packages" => array(...) ) );
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| base_url | string |
|
The base URL of the application. Can be relative. MUST contain a trailing slash. ('/foo/', 'http://example.com/') |
| url_suffix | string |
|
Any suffix that needs to be added to URL's generated by Fuel. If the suffix is an extension, make sure to include the dot. ('.html') |

10 Feb 2021 Yang Wang
Flink has supported resource management systems like YARN and Mesos since the early days; however, these were not designed for the fast-moving cloud-native architectures that are increasingly gaining popularity these days, or the growing need to support complex, mixed workloads (e.g. batch, streaming, deep learning, web services). For these reasons, more and more users are using Kubernetes to automate the deployment, scaling and management of their Flink applications.
From release to release, the Flink community has made significant progress in integrating natively with Kubernetes, from active resource management to “Zookeeperless” High Availability (HA). In this blogpost, we’ll recap the technical details of deploying Flink applications natively on Kubernetes, diving deeper into Flink’s Kubernetes HA architecture. We’ll then walk you through a hands-on example of running a Flink application cluster on Kubernetes with HA enabled. We’ll end with a conclusion covering the advantages of running Flink natively on Kubernetes, and an outlook into future work.
Native Flink on Kubernetes Integration
Before we dive into the technical details of how the Kubernetes-based HA service works, let us briefly explain what native means in the context of Flink deployments on Kubernetes:
-
Flink is self-contained. There will be an embedded Kubernetes client in the Flink client, and so you will not need other external tools (e.g. kubectl, Kubernetes dashboard) to create a Flink cluster on Kubernetes.
-
The Flink client will contact the Kubernetes API server directly to create the JobManager deployment. The configuration located on the client side will be shipped to the JobManager pod, as well as the log4j and Hadoop configurations.
-
Flink’s ResourceManager will talk to the Kubernetes API server to allocate and release the TaskManager pods dynamically on-demand.
All in all, this is similar to how Flink integrates with other resource management systems (e.g. YARN, Mesos), so it should be somewhat straightforward to integrate with Kubernetes if you’ve managed such deployments before — and especially if you already had some internal deployer for the lifecycle management of multiple Flink jobs.
Fig. 1: Architecture of Flink's native Kubernetes integration.
Kubernetes High Availability Service
High Availability (HA) is a common requirement when bringing Flink to production: it helps prevent a single point of failure for Flink clusters. Previous to the 1.12 release, Flink has provided a Zookeeper HA service that has been widely used in production setups and that can be integrated in standalone cluster, YARN, or Kubernetes deployments. However, managing a Zookeeper cluster on Kubernetes for HA would require an additional operational cost that could be avoided because, in the end, Kubernetes also provides some public APIs for leader election and configuration storage (i.e. ConfigMap). From Flink 1.12, we leverage these features to make running a HA-configured Flink cluster on Kubernetes more convenient to users.
Fig. 2: Architecture of Flink's Kubernetes High Availability (HA) service.
The above diagram shows the architecture of Flink’s Kubernetes HA service, which works as follows:
-
For the leader election, a set of eligible JobManagers is identified. They all race to declare themselves as the leader, with one eventually becoming the active leader. The active JobManager then continually “heartbeats” to renew its position as the leader. In the meantime, all other standby JobManagers periodically make new attempts to become the leader — this ensures that the JobManager could failover quickly. Different components (e.g. ResourceManager, JobManager, Dispatcher, RestEndpoint) have separate leader election services and ConfigMaps.
-
The active leader publishes its address to the ConfigMap. It’s important to note that Flink will use the same ConfigMap for contending lock and storing the leader address. This ensures that there is no unexpected change snuck in during a periodic update.
-
The leader retrieval service is used to find the active leader’s address and allow the components to then register themselves. For example, TaskManagers retrieve the address of ResourceManager and JobManager for registration and to offer slots. Flink uses a Kubernetes watch in the leader retrieval service — once the content of ConfigMap changes, it usually means that the leader has changed, and so the listener can get the latest leader address immediately.
-
All other meta information (e.g. running jobs, job graphs, completed checkpoints and checkpointer counter) will be directly stored in the corresponding ConfigMaps. Only the leader can update the ConfigMap. The HA data will only be cleaned up once the Flink cluster reaches the global terminal state. Please note that only the pointers are stored in the ConfigMap; the concrete data will be stored in the DistributedStorage. This level of indirection is necessary to keep the amount of data in ConfigMap small (ConfigMap is built for data less than 1MB whereas state can grow to multiple GBs).
Example: Application Cluster with HA
You’ll need a running Kubernetes cluster and to get kubeconfig
properly set to follow along.
You can use kubectl get nodes
to verify that you’re all set!
In this blog post, we’re using minikube for local testing.
1. Build a Docker image with the Flink job (my-flink-job.jar
) baked in
FROM flink:1.12.1
RUN mkdir -p $FLINK_HOME/usrlib
COPY /path/of/my-flink-job.jar $FLINK_HOME/usrlib/my-flink-job.jar
Use the above Dockerfile to build a user image (<user-image>
) and then push it to your remote image repository:
$ docker build -t <user-image> .
$ docker push <user-image>
2.  Access the Flink Web UI (http://minikube-ip-address:node-port) and check that the job is running!
2021-02-05 17:26:13,403 INFO org.apache.flink.kubernetes.KubernetesClusterDescriptor [] - Create flink application cluster k8s-ha-app-1 successfully, JobManager Web Interface: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:32388
You should be able to find a similar log in the Flink client and get the JobManager web interface URL.
4.  Verify that the job recovers from the latest successful checkpoint
Refresh the Flink Web UI until the new JobManager is launched, and then search for the following JobManager logs to verify that the job recovers from the latest successful checkpoint:
2021-02-05 09:44:01,636 INFO org.apache.flink.runtime.checkpoint.CheckpointCoordinator [] - Restoring job<PHONE_NUMBER>0000000000000000000000 from Checkpoint 101 @<PHONE_NUMBER>802 for<PHONE_NUMBER>0000000000000000000000 located at <checkpoint-not-externally-addressable>.
6. Cancel the job
The job can be cancelled through the Flink the Web UI, or using the following command:
$ ./bin/flink cancel --target kubernetes-application -Dkubernetes.cluster-id=<ClusterID> <JobID>
When the job is cancelled, all the Kubernetes resources created by Flink (e.g. JobManager deployment, TaskManager pods, service, Flink configuration ConfigMap, leader-related ConfigMaps) will be deleted automatically.
Conclusion
The native Kubernetes integration was first introduced in Flink 1.10, abstracting a lot of the complexities of hosting, configuring, managing and operating Flink clusters in cloud-native environments. After three major releases, the community has made great progress in supporting multiple deployment modes (i.e. session and application) and an alternative HA setup that doesn’t depend on Zookeeper.
Compared with standalone Kubernetes deployments, the native integration is more user-friendly and requires less upfront knowledge about Kubernetes. Given that Flink is now aware of the underlying Kubernetes cluster, it also can benefit from dynamic resource allocation and make more efficient use of Kubernetes cluster resources. The next building block to deepen Flink’s native integration with Kubernetes is the pod template (FLINK-15656), which will greatly enhance the flexibility of using advanced Kubernetes features (e.g. volumes, init container, sidecar container). This work is already in progress and will be added in the upcoming 1.13 release!

Lately, I had been feeling my laptop somewhat sluggish, particularly relating to video. I was starting to believe maybe it was time for a clean format and repaving it, but then I realized that most of the time the fans were on and fairly noisy and realized it might be something completely different: Dust.
Indeed, after turning off the machine and carefully cleaning all the air holes and fan meshes, it started working just fine again! I also blew it all and it's unbelievable the amount of dust these things will collect.


Instagram trial hiding ‘likes’ to be expanded to US
A trial which hides “likes” on Instagram is to be expanded to the United States.
The social media giant began hiding users’ likes in countries including Ireland, Italy and Australia earlier this year.
The move was aimed at removing “pressure” and stopping the platform feeling “like a competition”.
Instagram’s chief executive Adam Mosseri said the test would now be expanded to parts of the US from next week.
He said: “We’ve been testing making likes private on Instagram in a number of countries this year. We’re expanding those tests to include a small portion of people in the US next week. Looking forward to the feedback!”
The trial began in Canada in May and has also been rolled out to Brazil, Japan and New Zealand.
Instead of the number of likes on a particular post, the platform instead shows that the post has been liked by one user name “and others”.
It does allow users to see how many likes they have received on their own posts.
Instagram has previously said that measurement tools for businesses would not be affected by the trial.

My research interests center around programming languages and software engineering. In my work I look to provide formal guarantees of program properties in a way that is meaningful for real-world application.
Currently, I'm a 1st year computer science PhD student at UMass Amherst, where I study programming languages and software engineering. I'm advised by Arjun Guha and Yuriy Brun, and I'm a member of the PLASMA and LASER labs.
However, I'm relatively new to Massachusetts, as I grew up for most of my life in California. For my undergraduate degree, I completed a double major in math and computer science at UC Davis. Meanwhile, I interned in industry for 3 summers, once at FileMaker, and twice at Apple, where I worked on the AppKit user interface library for macOS. After interning in industry I decided to pursue a PhD in computer science, and specifically programming languages, so I can work to drive the field forward in creating correct, safe, and secure software more easily.
In addition to programming languages research, I like to somewhat regularly write blog posts about various topics, and I enjoy dabbling in machine learning, as well as abstract algebra and topology on the pure math side. Outside of academics I enjoy practicing martial arts (in particular Tai Chi, Wing Chun, and Taekwondo), playing music, and archery. I also love to travel with my amazing fiancée Jingwen Lin (a masters student in Food Science at UMass) to see awesome sights. Recently, we travelled all over China, seeing all sorts of both historic and scenic views, such as 玉龙雪山 (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain) pictured at right.

- DiffEqProblemLibrary.jl. This package provides a set of premade problems for testing the component solvers.


After exploring Random Linear Network Coding for some time, I've started writing one library in Golang, named kodr, where I'm on my way to implementing various RLNC schemes i.e. Full RLNC, Systematic RLNC, Sparse RLNC, Generational RLNC, Sliding Window RLNC, Perpetual RLNC etc. . This week I was thinking RLNC can be good fit for reliable, resilient storage systems where data chunks are already stored in erasure coded form in multiple geographically distant locations --- increasing redundancy, so that even if some of these locations become unreachable temporarily or permanently, original data can be recovered from available subset of data. A lot of these storage systems are using Reed Solomon Coding or some ( proprietary ) variant of it, but as I understand most of those coding schemes don't allow recoding as RLNC does. Good thing about RLNC is it can recode and construct newly coded pieces just from available coded pieces. It means for recoding RLNC decoder doesn't need to collect N-many linearly independent pieces & then decode them back to original N-many pieces, which are coded together again to generate "recoded" pieces, rather it takes M-many ( M <= N ) coded pieces ( read linear equations ) which are converted to new coded pieces ( read new linear equations ) by randomly drawing coding coefficients from finite field GF(2**8). And these RLNC (re)coded pieces can be equally useful to decoder when constructing back original pieces, as long as they're linearly independent. Recoding is beneficial when some storage locations of a cluster become temporarily or permanently unreachable, new redundancy in cluster can be created pretty fast by collecting some available coded pieces & generating new coded pieces from those. Today I'm interested in demonstrating same using a simulation I design using kodr.
Assuming I've a multimedia file of N-bytes ( where N = 16265760 ), which I'd like to store in a reliable storage cluster & get whole file back when need it. To be more specific it's a MP4 coded video file with unique content identifier dfc734fc40a98e8a6e041af13893f6170f073b160dfdc16621e76ad4e6b847b4. The storage cluster is reliable because it can handle failures of few of its components, upto certain threshold & still return me back my file. No doubt cluster creates redundancy in data it stores, which effectively increases storage cost. Simply storage cluster can replicate original file into three locations, making it able to handle upto 2 locations failing & it's still able to give me back file when I need it. Or cluster can decide to store file in erasure coded form by constructing pieces ( read smaller byte chunks ) & distributing them over multiple locations. When I ask it for whole file it collects required pieces from available locations & reconstructs whole file for me by solving some linear equations.
For coding N-bytes file, I need to specify how many pieces I want it to be chunked into. Say I want the file to be splitted into 32 pieces & code them together to construct 64 coded pieces, which cluster distributes
through out network. Generation size I choose to use is 32 & I decide to work with only one generation for this simulation.
Cluster employs 8 storage devices which are physically seperated from each other for storing 64 coded pieces I constructed --- each storage device storing 8 pieces. For constructing coded
pieces I make use of kodr, where I give it whole file i.e. a byte array of size 16_265_760 & express my intent of splitting it into 32 pieces.
As total file can be divided into 32 pieces of equal size ( i.e. each of 508_305 bytes ), no padding bytes are required to be added at end of byte array. If it was not the case, B-many bytes are to be added at end
of original byte slice of length N, so that (N+B)-bytes slice becomes properly divisible by piece count ( here it's 32 ). As 32 original pieces are being coded together, it results into carrying 32 more bytes in each coded
piece, which is called random coding coefficient vector, where each element is drawn from GF(2**8). GF(2**8) has 256 elements, each of them can be easily represented in 1 byte = 8 bits. So each coded piece carries
coded data of 508_305 bytes & 32 random coding coefficients. Another way to see coding vectors --- these are carrying information of how 32 original pieces are coded together so that I can exploit them during decoding
back to original pieces. This results into coded piece of size 508_337 bytes ( = 508_305 + 32 ).
I'm going to generate 64 coded pieces, among those any linearly independent 32 of them are enough to construct back original file --- I need to collect & process 16_266_784 bytes coded data ( in total )
to get back 16_265_760 bytes of original file, which is 1_024 bytes overhead.
Each coded piece is of 508_337 bytes, so for storing 64 coded pieces cluster network needs to employ 325_335_68 bytes storage. As I'm working with GF(2**8) which has 256 elements, the chance of generating linearly dependent pieces are pretty low, so most of these 64 coded pieces, spread across network are going to be linearly independent. For simulating that I'm randomly collecting total 32 coded pieces, I decide to random shuffle set of available 64 coded pieces & choose first 32 pieces.
After performing full RLNC decoding with 32 coded pieces, I expect to get back 32 original pieces. Turns out 32 collected coded pieces were linearly independent --- notice during encoding I just randomly chose
32 finite field elements from GF(2**8), for constructing a coding coefficient vector, meaning random coefficient choice performs pretty good.
Computing SHA256 hash on reconstructed data must give me dfc734fc40a98e8a6e041af13893f6170f073b160dfdc16621e76ad4e6b847b4. And indeed that happens ---
confirming data reconstruction was successful.
Now I'd like to simulate recoding & piece repopulation behaviour in face of partial network failure. Assuming Storage Location {1, 4, 6} have become permanently unavailable & cluster would like to get same level of resiliency back --- so it decides to generate 24 coded pieces ( those many have become unavailable ) from available 40 pieces spread across 5 available storage locations. Cluster participants can start producing new coded pieces from 8 coded pieces they've locally & collaboratively make total 24 coded pieces, which are now sent to 3 new storage locations, replacing unavailable ones. Let me take an imaginary scenario for simulation purpose, where 40 available coded pieces are collected & splitted into 3 equal size ( = 20 ) overlapping subsets.
Using subset_0's 20 pieces, I recode 8 new coded pieces. Similarly I generate 16 more coded pieces by recoding pieces from subset_{1, 2}. I've now 24 newly coded pieces, which are distributed
to 3 newly available locations, replacing Storage Location {1, 4, 6} --- cluster has again same level of resiliency.
Now I can decide to randomly collect any 32 linearly independent coded pieces & attempt to reconstruct back original video file. And generated flattened data has same
SHA256 hash 0xdfc734fc40a98e8a6e041af13893f6170f073b160dfdc16621e76ad4e6b847b4.
One thing to notice, ignoring hypothetical recoding scenario where 40 available coded pieces are splitted into 3 overlapping subsets of pieces of equal size ( = 20 ),
in real world cluster doesn't even need to ask all available 5 storage locations to collaboratively generate 24 pieces to fill up gap. Say cluster asks ( read master of cluster asking )
only one participant to generate 8 new coded pieces from 8 locally available coded pieces. Similarly cluster asks 2 more available participants to generate 16 ( = 8 + 8 ) new coded
pieces from respectively their locally available 8 pieces. Now network has 24 new coded pieces, which are just required to be sent over to new 3 storage locations, acting as replacement.
So not much of corrdination is required among peers for handling repopulation scenario.
Even it can be made simpler, say cluster wants to fill up gap of 24 missing coded pieces, it sends a message to network participants asking if someone having bandwidth ( read not busy doing other more important work )
would be interested in voluntarily constructing 24 coded pieces from 8 locally available pieces. If someone responds it will do so & help in sending those 24 new pieces to 3 newly available
storage locations --- cluster back to previous resiliency level.
This means, reconstruction-and-repopulation is not very expensive & it can be performed without much coordination --- all participants don't need to be involved in this business, only those
parties having lesser work at that moment, can join & help. It's not the case for Reed Solomon coded storage clusters where each new scenario like piece repopulation
needs to be handled by involving many more peers than required in RLNC based clusters.
One thing I'd like to mention, each coded piece is of size 508_337 bytes, which has two components.
Rather than storing extra 32 bytes of coding vector, one 8/ 16 bytes seed can be stored for each coded piece, decreasing total storage requirement for 64 coded pieces in network. This 8/ 16 bytes seed can be used to generate 32 coding coefficients which will be treated like coding vector while recoding/ decoding. If 8 bytes seed is used for initialising pseudo random number generator, it saves 1536 bytes network wide for storing 64 coded pieces. In quite same way, with 16 bytes seed, 1024 bytes network wide saving can be attained.
I clearly understand, RLNC based storage clusters will shine. I maintain accompanying kodr-based simulation here.
As I keep learning new RLNC based techniques, I plan to implement those in my library kodr alongside.
Also I'd love to learn about your opinion around idea of using RLNC in decentralised storage systems.
Have a great time !


My attitude towards EDA and the learning programme is positive.
The culture in the campus is great. The campus provides natural learning environment to students. It is an amazing oportunity for those without commercial experience and makes learning easier for those who already have it. I am excited about the training and believe that new skills will be useful at work.
Also, I am pretty sure that there will be lots of fun working together in the kohort. Everyone is different and we all face different challenges but those things change fast. We can already learn from each other and I am sure that everyone will be flying soon.
My expectations from EDA have not changed. To be honest, I have more expectations from myself than from EDA.

Convex Hull (CH):
Given a set of points in 2 dimensions return the set of points on the convex hull in
sorted order.
Input and Output File Formats
The input needs to be in the 2d
points file format. The output needs to be in the sequence file format and must
contain the integer index of each of the points in the convex hull.
These indices need to be in sorted order with the leftmost point first
(minimimum x value).
Default Input Distributions
Each distribution should be run for
n=10,000,000. The
weights used for average time are given in parentheses. The
distribution on the perimeter of a circle is given a lesser weight to
account for the fact it is much more costly, and therefore would
dominate without a weight adjustment.

Bingo takes another life
Wired | Submitted by: Soylent

for. The programmer, Brett Keeton, 38, apparently killed himself Friday
by leaping off San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge after he realized
he was the focus of a fraud investigation, gaming investigators say."

Casualties of Football
New York Times | Submitted by: Pilgrim
"After the players union expressed concerns that some of its members
were dying prematurely, the National Institute for Occupational Safety
and Health studied the medical records of more than 7,000 N.F.L.
players who played in the league between 1959 and 1988. The study found
that offensive and defensive linemen had a 52 percent greater risk of
dying from heart disease than the general population; it also determined
that linemen had three times the risk of dying from heart disease
than other football players."

French demonstrate air powered car
BBC | Submitted by: misfit
"Engineers in France believe they have come up with the answer that
environmentalists and economists have spent years searching for: a
commercially viable, 100% non-polluting car, which costs next to nothing
to run... The car comes fitted with its own compressor so you can fill
up at home. But that would take four hours. The company has developed
the technology to refill the vehicle in three minutes, although there
are no service station forecourts with the compressed air machines
to do that yet."

While none of Spike Lee's movies have been terribly interesting, at

final scene of the flick in which thousands of Muslims make their
pilgrimage to Mecca to pray at the Great Mosque... When he talks about
that last scene, his face still lights up." When all else fails, blame

left testicle is a prominent red stain. The man is clutching a first aid

A pumpkin cannot consent
Zwire | Submitted by: larry daniels
"A Warren man who walked nude in his back yard and was spotted by
neighbors using a pumpkin to sexually gratify himself was sentenced
this week to 90 days in jail for indecent exposure. Bill Saintclair
Patton, 45, was jailed on an unrelated domestic violence charge when
he was brought to 37th District Court on Tuesday for the 2 year old
indecent exposure case."
 The dossier claims that the conduct of senior
staff at the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD), the equivalent of
Britain's GCHQ, poses a grave risk to national security. One source said
yesterday: "We are afraid that if an 11 September incident was planned
in the region, then DSD is not well placed to find out what it is."
The disaffected spies allege that extramarital affairs are rife within the secretive agency."

took him home with him and proudly showed the sixth grader his framed
Nixon photo, then "coerced" him into oral sex." Fentress is seeking

On the beer spectrum, this is considered a balanced beer. Right in the middle of the pack. Most beer drinkers will enjoy an amber ale. Amber ales are considered a good brew for beginners as it establishes a baseline for how to adjust ingredients and notice small changes.
ESB
Extra Special Bitter or ESB, blends traditional English ingredients to achieve a malty character with a pronounced hop bitterness. Often served from casks in pubs in its native country.
Pale Ale
Another beer originating from the UK but hugely popular in the United States. More hops than malt when compared to the ESB. The American pale ale is even higher in hop flavor than it’s English counterpart.
India Pale Ale
IPAs get their name from the days when India was a British colony. Beers tended to spoil on the long trip by ship from Britain to India. The Brits found a solution, drastically increasing the amount of hops. Hops inhibit the growth of bacteria which kept the beer from spoiling. The result was a very bitter beer that many to this day find unappealing. Despite that, the popularity of the IPA has taken off in the last decade.
Pilsner/Lager
Pilsner and lagers are both light beers relative to their counterparts. Easy drinking with a very light hop profile. American legacy beer such as Budweiser and Coors fall into this category.
Hefeweizen
A wheat beer originating from Germany. Hefeweizen’s have a unique yeast that offers notes of banana and clove. The beer is typically cloudy due to the inability of the yeast to fall out of suspension after fermentation.
Saison
A beer originating from Belgium, Saison has notes of spice, fruits, sourness and bread. Known for having a longer fermentation time than other beers. Also known as farmhouse ales owing to the history of unique recipes being brewed from farm to farm in Belgium.

Use the review to brag about how far you rode, because the review isn't about the bike, it's just an opportunity to show off to all the readersWhether hardcore or enthusiast, expert or amateur, rich or poor — the terms are the same: “biker” and “motorbiker.” If you have to finetune the interpretation, “motorcycle enthusiast” is good enough for most practical situations.

On saving 💰
One of the wisest woman in my life was my Grandmother. She always imparted wisdom on me, she knew all the Dutch sayings and expressions. She sang her wisdom to me as lullebies. In my eyes she was The Wise One.
She was also a wealthy woman and knew how to handle money. She always told me save up kiddo, you’ll have something for a rainy day. She just didn’t mention how to save. But I can’t blame her, only myself, I had to ask better questions. However she has long past and asking her, well, that is out of the question.
As for me - I didn’t always make wise choices when it came to money. Money has always had this mystical allure to it. And I had no clue on how to handle it. Overdue bills all the time. Paycheck in? Time to spend! And ofcourse there was the whole experimental drug phase. Had my own company twice. Once made the mistake of actually spending everything I made. And forgetting you have to pay taxes… The other time I just sucked overal at running a company.
I’ll categorise this as ‘lessons learned’ and paid for by the school of life. It was a very expensive school. €25.000 expensive. At least now I’m wiser. A little.
I’m 36 now and I’ve spend the last two and a half years getting out of dept. I didn’t know it by then but along the way I’ve set the ground work for a framework for saving money. Learning how to save was for me an eyeopener. What I’ve used to do is saving what you have after spending. Which, turns out is all wrong.
For every paycheck that comes in I put away one tenth. If I were to make €1800 per month that would come down to €180. I put that on a savings account and don’t touch it. Not even when I have a piece of month left at the end of my paycheck. This forces me to do a couple of things. Save. Save on my spendings, because I’m missing 180 euros per month. So I need to really think on what to buy.
