As part of the pre-release hype for "Pearl Harbor," World War II vets attended screenings of the film and then voiced their reactions to the press. To no surprise, they were enthralled by the production. One soldier expressed his decades-old fear that the memory of Pearl Harbor would fade from the public consciousness. He was no longer concerned, though, for this epic film was a guarantee that he and his comrades would never be forgotten. Watching the parade of aged veterans before the cameras was stirring – stirring enough to make it seem vaguely unpatriotic to criticize such a noble endeavor.
Thankfully, I recovered.
If "Pearl Harbor" bolsters the legacy of those men and women, that's wonderful, but it should not obscure the fact that the three-hour saga isn't a very good movie. Intended to tap into the lucrative "Titanic" audience, "Pearl Harbor" is two-thirds cheesy love story and one-third fireworks extravaganza. Imagine a vintage Grade B WW II romance with state of the art special effects, edited by someone with attention deficient disorder, and you'll have an idea of what to expect.
The tale follows Rafe (Ben Affleck) and Danny (Josh Hartnett) as the best-friends-since-childhood become pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps. Rafe falls in love with Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a dedicated nurse, shortly before volunteering to travel to England and fight in the Battle of Britain. Shot down by enemy aircraft, he is mistakenly reported as dead. After a mourning period, Danny and Evelyn become a couple.
Of course, Rafe reappears in their life, leading to exactly what you would expect. The high drama between the three is interrupted when the Japanese launch their staggering assault on Pearl Harbor. Later, both men must leave Evelyn, this time to take part in a daring retaliatory raid. Let into command headquarters by a sympathetic officer, the terrified nurse listens to air reports of the attack that might rob her of the two most important men in her life.
Comparisons between "Pearl Harbor" and "Titanic" don't hold up. The love story in "Titanic" worked because the young man and woman served as representatives for all the souls onboard the disaster-bound ship. They were the embodiment of the hopes and dreams that were cut short when the massive boat went under. The romantic triangle between Rafe, Danny and Evelyn lacks that resonance. These characters are cut from the pages of a cheap paperback. When Evelyn describes the first time she met Rafe, her girlfriends listen raptly, giggling too hard at just the right moments because they are supporting players and that is their job. When Rafe and Danny race to try and stem the initial Japanese assault, each man's survival is assured because an old-time hero cannot die unless he is making a noble sacrifice in the final reel.
The battle scenes are just what you would expect from Michael Bay, the director of "Armageddon". The film jumps like lightning from one action image to the next, with jiggling cameras attempting to create a sense of verisimilitude as planes whoosh by in breathtaking fashion and weapons-fire explodes all around. Every few seconds, the screen fills with carefully composed panoramas of the devastation being wrought from above. The big money shot follows a Japanese bomb as it drops from the plane and plummets into a United States ship, resulting in a massive explosion.
It's an extremely cool visual, which is precisely the problem. In a film that is supposed to be honoring the men and women of Pearl Harbor, should we be oohing and aahing as we watch them die? The battle scenes in "Saving Private Ryan" put us right in the middle of the nightmare of combat. "Pearl Harbor" is a throwback to the war-as-spectacle school of filmmaking and, at least for me, that is no longer viable.
Incidentally, Bay's tendency to whoosh is not confined to the battles. Even during the gentle moments, his cameras repeatedly glide alongside, below and above the actors. The crane operators for this movie must have made a fortune. Bay doesn't know when to lighten up, and neither does the bullying orchestral score, which attempts to force emotions up the audience ear. On the positive side, while the idyllic vistas in the early scenes are too perfect to be believed, they are nonetheless quite lovely, using the color palate well.
Within this cavalcade of overkill are a group of talented actors. When a British officer asks Rafe if all Yanks are "so anxious to die," the airman replies, "Not anxious to die, sir, anxious to matter." That Ben Affleck is able to keep a straight face while delivering that hack line is a tribute to his skill. As Danny, Josh Hartnett hits the right notes and Kate Beckinsale is quite striking as Evelyn. Other cast members play characters based on real people. In a crucial supporting role, Jon Voight is flat-out amazing as FDR, totally disappearing into the persona of the commander-in-chief. Alec Baldwin breathes life to aviation legend Jimmy Doolittle, despite being saddled with a nonstop barrage of lines straight from Cliché Central. Allotted criminally short screen time is Cuba Gooding Jr., who gives a restrained performance as Doris "Dorie" Miller, the first black soldier to be honored in WW II.
Even though it rips off a slew of other movies and tries to turn war into a thrill ride, "Pearl Harbor" deserves credit for honoring the work of nurses and, albeit briefly, servicemen of color, in addition to white male veterans. It also deserves credit for treating the Japanese fairly and for showing, if only for a split second, the bigotry aimed at Asian-Americans. "Pearl Harbor" is not an awful movie. It is simply another example of what happens when a film is made by technicians instead of artists.

‘Drug dealer’ killed in ‘gunfight’
by Staff CorrespondentA suspected drug peddler was killed in a “gunfight” with members of Rapid Action Battalion in Hazaribagh area of the capital early yesterday.
The dead -- Nadim Bahadur, 38 -- is a listed drug dealer and accused in nine cases, Rab claimed in a short message circulated to journalists.
Sajid Mia, deputy assistant director of Rab-2, told The Daily Star that one of their teams came across two men on a motorbike around 4:00am near Sikder Medical College Hospital in Hazaribagh.
As soon as the Rab team signalled the motorbike to stop, the duo opened fire on them, forcing the law enforcers to retaliate, he claimed.
At one point of the “gunfight”, Nadim was shot and another unknown person managed to flee. Nadim was rushed to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) where doctors declared him dead, the Rab official added.
Rab confirmed the identity of the dead from a national identity card found with him.
The elite force also claimed to have seized a motorcycle and recovered a pistol along with few bullets, 35 bottles of phensidyl, and 180 pieces of yaba.
The body was sent to DMCH morgue for autopsy.


Suffolk's Tory wets out campaigning in 2019 General Election
by Paul GeaterThose who remember Margaret Thatcher's time in Downing Street will remember the term "Tory Wets" which was used - at first - by some of her more enthusiastic followers to describe their more moderate colleagues.
As the 1980s went on some people like Ken Clarke, Peter Walker and Jim Prior seemed to almost see the description as a badge of honour - and you still hear it used occasionally by Conservatives of a certain age either to have a dig at their internal opponents or to show that they don't really feel very extreme.
But this week we've seen a new type of Tory Wet emerge across the country, including here in Suffolk - and I'm assured that none has been wetter than South Suffolk candidate James Cartlidge.
He and a group of supporters, including Babergh leader John Ward, got soaked to the skin while canvassing in Long Melford on Thursday - and put this picture of themselves on Twitter to prove it!
However Mr Cartlidge admitted that they had to wait until the rain eased before they took the picture. He said: "It might not have actually been pouring at that stage, but I can assure you we were all pretty wet!"

None.
The continue restart is generally part of protocols where there is a single "obvious" way to continue, such as in break and cerror. Some user-defined protocols may also wish to incorporate it for similar reasons. In general, however, it is more reliable to design a special purpose restart with a name that more directly suits the particular application.
(let ((x 3)) (handler-bind ((error #'(lambda (c) (let ((r (find-restart 'continue c))) (when r (invoke-restart r)))))) (cond ((not (floatp x)) (cerror "Try floating it." "~D is not a float." x) (float x)) (t x)))) ⇒ 3.0

Values and Combating Stereotype Threat
November 25, 2014
This week Dev Bootcamp has asked us to perform some exercises related to our Values and Combating Stereotype Threat. Below are the prompts and my responses.
Prompt: When you think of the times in your life where you’ve been the happiest, the proudest, or the most satisfied, which of the following values come to mind?
Response: Challenge, Helping others, Knowledge, Honesty, Nature, and Growth
Prompt: Pick one value and write a couple of sentences about why the value you chose is important to you.
Response: Challenges and challenging task are important to my happiness and sense of accomplishment. What I find specifically exhilarating about challenges is the difference between the beginning of a challenge (whether I am learning to be a web developer, climbing a mountain, or working on a math problem) when the task at hand seems impossibly difficult and the moment somewhere in the middle of the task when I can see a bit of my progress and start to feel like it is actually possible.
Prompt: Answer the following for the values you chose in Exercise 1: In general, I try to live up to these values: Disagree 1 ----- 2 ----- 3 ----- 4 ----- 5 Agree
Response: Challenge: 4 Helping others: 4 Knowledge: 5 Honesty: 5 Nature: 4 Growth: 5
Prompt: What was the last topic that someone asked for your advice on?
Response: Yesterday a fellow DBC'er asked me for advice on researching Driver Test Code.
Prompt: Do you think it can help you mediate stereotype threat if you recognize you feel it?
Response: I definitely think recognizing when I feel stereotype threat can help me mitigate its effects. Recognizing that it is happening will allow me to sort of look it in the face and move past it and hopefully prevent it from distracting me further.
Prompt: Can you think of any other exercises you can use to help you when you are feeling down (for whatever reason) at DBC?
Response: If I am feeling down at DBC my first move will be to get some exercise. For me, exercise is a borderline panacea which both makes me feel better and clears my head so that I can think about whatever is bothering me in a constructive way. I also think that talking about things with my friends inside and outside DBC will be a useful tool.

--- title: K-Means and DBSCAN from scratch [Julia] - 1/3 author: AugustoCL date: '2021-10-12' categories: ["Julia"] tags: ["ML", "cluster", "kmeans", "DBCAN", "algorithms", "scratch"] description: 'Package builted from scratch, entirely in Julia Lang, which implements clustering algorithms like K-Means and DBSCAN. Also the performance is superior to Scikit-Learn without any compiled lang, only Julia.' css: "style.css" ---
This post introduce the ClusterAnalysis.jl package that I and eliascarv built from scratch using only the Julia Language. We implement K-Means and DBSCAN clustering algorithms and achieved a performance superior to the same Scikit-Learn algorithms.
The package is mostly a learning experiment, but the package were also built and documented to be used by anyone, Plug-and-Play. Just input your data as an Array or a Tables.jl type (like DataFrames.jl), then start training your clusters algorithms and analyze your results.
Documentation: https://augustocl.github.io/ClusterAnalysis.jl/
To install the package just follow this commands in your Julia REPL.
# press ] to enter in Pkg REPL mode.

pkg> add ClusterAnalysis
# load packages
using CSV, DataFrames
using StatsPlots
using ClusterAnalysis
# load data from github repo
df = CSV.read("algo_overview/blob_data.csv", DataFrame, drop=[1]);
X = df[:,1:2];
y = df[:,end];
# dbscan model
ϵ = 0.35;
min_pts = 10;
m = dbscan(X, ϵ, min_pts);
# plot
gr(size=(1000,600))
p1 = scatter(X[:,1], X[:,2], group=y,
leg=false,
ms=6,
title="True clusters");
p2 = scatter(X[:,1], X[:,2], zcolor=m.labels,
leg=false,
ms=6,
title="DBSCAN prediction\n(ϵ=$(ϵ), minPts=$(min_pts))");
plot(p1, p2, layout=2)
That section is presented in github repo or in the “Algorithms” section in documentation, which succintly explains how each algorithm works.
The Algorithm’s Overview of K-Means, by example, has a lot of images, gifs and a pseudocode to help the user understand the source-code.
I really suggest you to read the Algorithm’s Overview Section along with the source code for a better understanding of the algorithm.
This implementation has an excellent computational performance, being faster than Scikit-Learn’s KMeans and DBSCAN.
Here is an example with K-Means, but we also have the same benchmark in DBSCAN overview section.
Scikit-Learn with C in backend
ClusterAnalysis.jl in Pure Julia
Here is another plot comparing results from Julia to SKlearn.
In the next posts I will detail K-Means and DBSCAN algorithms produced in this package, explaining all the logic used in the construction of the source code. For now, check the Algorithm’s Overview and use the package in your clusters analysis. If you have any suggestion about the pkg, feel free to contact me in github.

Unofficial FAQ on the 10 July 2014 Message and the Badi Calendar
The Letter
Please read the original letter here. This is the best, authoritative source of information on the matter.
The Universal House of Justice has also distributed dates for the next
50 years (through Naw-Ruz 2064).
What changes were made?
Naw-Ruz is now celebrated the day of the spring equinox in Tehran; for
the near future, this is always March 20th or March 21st. This sets
the date for all the Feast nights and the seven Holy Days fixed to
the solar calendar. On years when Naw-Ruz is on the 21st, like 2015,
most of these days are the same as before, with the exception of the
Martyrdom of the Báb (now July 10) and the Declaration of the Báb
(now May 24), which are both one day later. On years when Naw-Ruz is
on the 20th, like 2016, all of these are one day earlier.
The Birth of the Báb and the Birth of Bahá'u'lláh are now
celebrated on a new moon in October and November. The dates will vary
each year.
The end of Ayyam-i-Ha and the start of the fast is fixed 19 days
before the following Naw-Ruz. This means that some years the fast will
being March 1st, and other years March 2nd. This makes the month of
fasting, the month of `Ala, different as its start date depends on the
succeeding Naw-Ruz rather than the preceeding one.
Why the change?
Since the times of the Báb, Bahá'u'lláh, Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi
Effendi there have been details of the Badi calendar left unspecified.
Different locales developed ways to observe the calendar. For example,
in the West, we have fixed the Holy Days to the Gregorian calendar.
In the East, some of the Holy Days, such as the Twin Birthdays, were
celebrated on a lunar calendar. Yet, the writings tell us
In hindsight, this gradual evolution of the calendar appears
essential, as it would have been very difficult in past times for
Baha'is around the world to have a calendar that both starts on the
equinox and synchronized around the world. For example, if Baha'is
in the United States picked Naw-Ruz based on when the sun sets in
Pacific time, the dates would diverge from those picked by Baha'is
in the East. The way to remedy this is to pick one place on earth to
determine the equinox; and only now, with the Internet, that this
computation can both be done accurately in advance and distributed to
the Baha'i World.

MISSION:
The hospitals run by Sri Sathya Sai Central Trust provide free medical care to the sick and ailing with the dedication, commitment, love and the best of skills, so that they will be cured in body, mind and spirit. Our Mission is to provide high quality medical care free of charge to all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, and financial status in an atmosphere of love and care.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
The hospitals run by the Trust follow the guiding principles laid down by Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba.
| Universal Healthcare: |
|
|
Healthcare should be available to all, irrespective of caste, religion, nationality, or financial status.
Bhagawan explains it in very simple words: When disease makes no distinctions of high or low, rich or poor, should those who cure make such distinctions? Even the architecture of the hospitals underscores this principle, their wide arms as if embracing all those who come to them for succour. |
|
|
| Decommercialized Healthcare: |
|
|
Healthcare should be delivered free of charge.
From the inception of the hospitals, Bhagawan has emphasized that medical care should be given without charging patients a single paisa. The hospitals provide the entire range of medical services – investigations, surgery, medicines and in-patient care absolutely free of cost.
In fact, there is no billing counter in the hospitals at all. Apart from the stress and anxiety associated with illness, patients can be worried about being unable to meet the cost of treatment. In Bhagawan’s hospitals patients and their families have no such worries. Also doctors can decide the best course of treatment unfettered by commercial considerations. |
|
|
| Human Values in Healthcare: |
|
|
Healthcare should be administered with Love.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba, has advised doctors: ”Doctors should care for their patients as they would for their kith and kin. Love is the basis for values-based living. A doctor can infuse courage in patients by the love he/she shows towards the patients. If doctors carry out their duties in a spirit of Love and Sacrifice, their efforts are certain to be crowned with success”
The atmosphere of Love and Compassion which pervades the hospitals encourages patients’ recovery. The doctors and the caregivers and the hundreds of Sevadal (service volunteers) are inspired by the ideal “Service to Man is Service to God” |
|
|
| Spiritualisation of Healthcare: |
|
|
The aim should be to heal the patient in body, mind and spirit, not merely to cure disease.
The Preamble to the Constitution of the World Health Organisation (WHO) defines Health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”. Hence, values-based living is emphasised prevention of disease and ill-health. |

Following the inaugural Deleuze Studies in Asia meeting in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2013, the Deleuze/Guattari camp and conference has been hosted successfully in Manipal (India), Osaka (Japan), Seoul (Korea), Singapore and most recently Naga (The Philippines). It returns to the Japanese archipelago in 2019. This event remains the premier philosophical organ for Deleuze and Guattari studies in Asia and its transdisciplinary membership continues to contribute significantly to other Deleuze and Guattari gatherings across the world. With this in mind, and on the singularly precious occasion of Tokyo’s 2019 camp and conference, we shall continue the indefatigable spirit of former meetings to exchange ideas, to discuss and to think about Deleuze and Guattari in new and challenging ways.
All kindred open, serious and joyful thinkers are welcome, from whatever discipline for Deleuze and Guattari’s thought remains the only true and open contemporary philosophy.
In accordance with previous events, the summer school or camp will take place before the Deleuze / Guattari conference proper.
In a welcoming, supportive atmosphere, the camp will be held at the art space ‘3331 Arts Chiyoda’, where leading intellectuals and scholars regularly give lectures on philosophy, politics, cinema, art, psychoanalysis and medical science.
We are planning several extracurricular activities including a workshop on Noh theatre (classical Japanese drama), and a young artists’ exhibition inspired by Deleuze’s philosophy. This dual focus will reconstruct the old and new, high and low, young and old, in a deliberately affirmative, joyous and celebratory Deleuzian mode.
The conference proper will be held at University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus, which remains a trailblazer of philosophy in the metropolis and beyond.
Here, global Deleuze experts have been invited to give keynotes and lectures, including the English translator of Levinas and Merleau-Ponty, Alphonso Lingis, whose deep and much-celebrated thought has developed a singular and inspiring Deleuze-inflected phenomenology.
The theme for the conference is ‘War Machine, Conflict, Coexistence’. Why? Because we live in a world where the concept ‘war machine’ has now become so miserably commonplace and anodyne. How? In two respects: 1) the contemporary globalized form of capitalism has overwhelmed national economies and; 2) terrorism has replaced traditional forms of state-war. As such, conflicts are so pervasive on a global scale yet often elude traditional social, political and economic schematics.
In the play of perceptible and imperceptible, how should or can we coexist in such a world? How does the work of Deleuze and Guattari assist this new relation? One problem arises. As the idea of coexistence is not explicitly explored in their philosophy, how can we respond to this conspicuous lacuna? Given this bottleneck of reason, it is exceedingly timely to think contemporary geo-political problems and ideas from the perspective of Deleuze and/or Guattari. Our task is to begin thinking again; to shed another dogmatic image of thought.
Given this crisis and amid such devastating conflict, we are asking conference delegates to think about the concept of coexistence in a Deleuzian way. We are in search for nothing less than a new paradigm or image of thought.
Yet in a deliberate sense, the 2019 Deleuze and Guattari event and project in Tokyo remains open to those not determined as ‘Deleuzians’ or ‘Guattarians’. In any event, we have never been Deleuzians and Guattarians. Faced with this provocative disavowal, we are inviting forms of non-philosophy to counter the sclerotic impulses of dogmatic thinking.
The committee of the 2019 Deleuze and Guattari in Asia conference wants our joint moment to be one for witnessing and understanding the multiple theoretical conflicts surrounding Deleuze/Guattari Studies.
We are not aiming for a communion of self-same herd thinking, another yeah saying for whatever absurd purpose, but rather a veritable explosion of difference.
As such, the continuous construction-reconstruction of the intellectual assemblage of the Deleuze and Guattari Studies in Asia Conference means that its membership is steadfastly not a parochial fanclub. It remains doggedly radical, global and Deleuzian through and through.
We are a gathering for discussing and thinking in a fundamental and rigorous sense, in the resplendent open and chaotic sense which the brilliance of Deleuze and Guattari’s joint philosophy demands.
Do take inspiration from the following: « Ce qui est premier dans la pensée, c’est l’effraction, la violence, c’est l’ennemi, et rien ne suppose la philosophie, tout part d’une misosophie. » (Gille Deleuze, Différence et répetition, PUF, p.181-182)

An example from the last sprint we just did was problem solving some of the Kata. In particular the Kata on in-built JavaScript Methods. I wouldn't say I solved them in very elegant ways as there's nothing very elegant about the way I code. I mostly bludgeon away with quick fire solutions until something sticks. In a lot of these cases the tried and true methods weren't cutting the mustard. So I took my time with a lot of them and trialled and errored as well as employed the use of Google and stack overflow to figure out a lot of the solutions. My biggest issues often is going too fast and not checking in with things like variables and scope.
A programmer looking to deal with a particular problem may run the steps in prose before translating those steps into the targetted programming language.
Explaining the problem to someone, anyone, or anything may and sometimes does help the person resolve the problem once they have explained the problem in it's entirety, out loud. It helps the explainer teach the problem and themselves, more fully understand it..
Interesting to read messages from the bottom up in Javascript to see where it starts, where our code ends -- where the problem is where the the third party (JS Libraries etc) code is throwing the error message And the error message itself at the top
HackerNoonI fully endorse this. It's become my go to for why things aren't working. Maybe there's a better way. If so let me know what it
Google here is my exact problem, give me answers from Stack Overflow and all that good stuff. Good way to see who else has encountered this problem in the past and if someone can shine some light on it. Be careful that your problem is actually this, or you could spend hours searching for something that is not your actual problem.

Asking other, asking mentors, trying ANYTHING: all of these methods are there to use when all else fails. Really anything is better than giving up. Oh and if YOU have the answers, pay it forward. You'll help someone out and feel better at the same time. WIN!

Strux
Well-tested, fully-documented, MIT-licensed data structures written in Swift that are compatible with Swift 4 and Swift 5. Currently it has four data structures:
Queue: a queue with O(1) addition and removal.
Heap: a min or max heap that can be used as a priority queue.
BSTree: a counted, self-balancing (AVL) binary search tree that conforms to the BidirectionalCollection
protocol, with O(N) in-order traversal, and O(1) height, count, first, last, median, and (if the type is numeric) sum.
DisjointSet: A disjoint set data structure, also known as union-find, or merge-find.
Installation
Strux requires Swift 4.0 at a minimum and supports all subsequent Swift versions. Strux can be installed via the Swift Package Manager (SPM) or CocoaPods dependency managers (see below). I recommend SPM if you’re not already using CocoaPods.
Add the following line to any Swift files that reference a Strux data structure:
import Strux
Alternatively you can add selected Strux source files to your project.
Swift Package Manager (SPM)
Use this repository as your dependency. In Xcode, navigate to File -> Swift Packages -> Add Package Dependency…
CocoaPods
Use the CocoaPod Strux
. Here is a sample Podfile:
target 'MyProject' do
pod 'Strux'
end
With the Podfile at the top-level directory of the project, enter:
pod install


Review: Saving Grace (2000)
[2.0/4.0]
Films with a central plot revolving around marijuana use are not uncommon, but they typically target a young, counter-culture audience. This film is an oddity in that it is centered around marijuana, but it is seeking a sedate audience that would want to see a cute, uplifting sleeper.
The story begins with the newly widowed Grace (Brenda Blethyn) trying to deal with the debt she inherits from her late husband. She has lived a pastoral life on the English seacoast passing her time with gardening, but she is suddenly faced with the prospect of losing her house to creditors. The idea comes to Grace and her pot smoking handyman, Matthew (Craig Ferguson), that they could solve the financial problems by using Grace's gardening expertise to save Matthew's dying marijuana crop.
It is not hard to guess where events lead. The rural neighbors are supportive of the members of their clan, ignoring that they are indulging in criminal activities. Matthew's girlfriend disapproves of his irresponsible activities. The pair get involved in dangerous circumstances, but never come across anything they cannot handle.
The positive aspect of the film is that it does have humorous moments, even if those are merely plays on stereotypes. Director Nigel Cole gets the benefit of a solid performance from veteran Blethyn, but adds little of substance. The thin premise cannot support much, and hence standard archetypes and story development are used to allow the audience to follow along without expending much effort. Although the combination of Waking Ned Devine and Cheech and Chong may sound intriguing, this film is barely noteworthy.
Not recommended. The film uses standard characters in a formulaic plot in an attempt to present the audience with a light, charming story. The result is a tiresome, predictable adventure that only becomes more silly as it goes along. If it were not for the quirkiness added by the marijuana aspect, the film would have been devoid of substance. It does occasionally elicit laughter, but is mostly boring.

A couple of years I wrote a post describing Google authentication in the ServiceAPI. This is an update of that. The details are in the samples repo and here is a video of me applying the sample from the repo to a WebDrawer and Web Client instance.
Remember the repo contains a link the ServiceStack documentation which provides assistance for using (and creating) other authentication providers.

Description
The 500 mg of plant-based vitamin C you’ll get in Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended Release comes from acerola cherries. It’s more vitamin C than you would get from seven oranges, 16 lemons, or six grapefruits! Contains no lactose, fructose, artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial preservatives, or any artificial sweeteners.
Benefits
- Gentle on your stomach.
- Minimizes waste associated with single, instant-release doses of vitamin C.
- Healthy immune system. Vitamin C plays an important role in supporting immune system function.
- Adequate intake of important nutrients. Bioflavonoids function as antioxidants to complement the activity of vitamin C, ensuring adequate intake of important nutrients and vitamins as part of a healthy diet.
- Healthy tissues. Vitamin C’s antioxidant properties also help to maintain healthy tissues.
- 8-hour immune system support. All of the ingredients in Nutrilite® Vitamin C Extended Release are mixed together with a fibrous ingredient and compressed to form a tablet. After swallowing, the tablet becomes wetted in the stomach and the fibrous ingredient expands to form a network. The wetted tablet gradually releases key ingredients by controlled diffusion through the network as it passes the length of the small intestine. The nutrient release rate is slow and steady with the wetted tablet gradually decreasing in size until it is completely dissolved.
