Farfetched Fables

Farfetched Fables (1948) is a collection of six short plays by George Bernard Shaw in which he outlines several of his most idiosyncratic personal ideas. The fables are preceded by a long preface. The ideas in the plays and the preface have been called the "violent unabashed prejudices of an eccentric".

Creation
Shaw intended to produce a series of plays summing up his own most unfashionable and unpopular ideas. The result is summed up by Archibald Henderson as a hodge-podge of utopian, puritanical and authoritarian concepts:

"In his latter years, Shaw appears to have taken seriously some of the fantastic ideas he had conceived in the writing of imaginative literature; and these fancies hardened with the years into fixed convictions:the ultimate redemption of mankind on earth from the burden of the flesh and the ills that flesh is heir to, the elimination of sexual relations and the universal adoption of artificial insemination, the thoroughgoing reorganization of education with the all-embracing tenet of learning by doing, appreciating literature, art, music, sculpture, architecture, by contact experience (reading, seeing, hearing, painting, drawing, sculpting, building), the elimination by gas asphyxiation of the demonstrably immoral and incurably criminal, the extension of the extreme life span roughly from one century to three centuries, elimination of dependence upon food and learning to live on air and water alone, the rewriting of the Prayer Book of the Church of England, the revision of the Scriptures in order to reconcile the irrational dichotomy of the Deity, seen in two separate images in Old and New Testaments, abolition of the party system, expanding the civil service to embrace the highest offices up to and including the Prime Minister, and many other proposals, particularly the devising of a new alphabet--which are, by an incalculable multitude, irrevocably rejected as fads and follies, quirks and crotchets, fancies and fantasies."

Plot
The plays take the form of five dialogues and one monologue in which the various topics are discussed.

In the first fable, set shortly after World War II, a Jewish chemist decides that the atomic bomb is too clumsy a weapon, and invents a form of poison gas that is lighter than air.

In the second fable the British government refuses to buy the gas, so the scientist sells it to South Africa, which uses it on London. British politicians are discussing the ways South Africa has been using the gas, but find themselves being eliminated by it. These events unleash a "dark age".

In the third fable, set in a socialist society of the future, scientists have developed techniques to exactly measure human capabilities. Two subjects are tested in the Anthropometric Laboratory by members of the "Upper Ten", a ruling elite. Social status is determined by these scientific tests. Those who are "dangerous and incorrigable" are liquidated.

In the fourth fable, set in the further future, the Commissioner of Diets dictates into a machine a report about how humans can now live entirely on air and water. Having started by eliminating meat from their diet, they have progressed to live without food altogether, inspired by a mythical ancient sage who lived before the "dark age" and whose name is variously known as "Shelley, Shakespear and Shavius".

This fable is followed by a dialogue between two men, a woman and a hermaphrodite, who discuss the disgusting way in which humans used to reproduce, explaining that it is now all done in a laboratory, without the need to "practice personal contacts which I would rather not describe". The hermaphrodite speaks of the desire to escape physicality altogether and become pure mind.

In the final fable a group of students discuss the existence of purely disembodied beings who live entirely for "knowledge and power" and who use embodied persons to help them achieve it. They note that these beings might easily kill them: "for the pursuit of knowledge and power involves the slaughter and destruction of everything that opposes it". However, they are needed by these beings to be "destroyers of vermin", as "we have to execute criminals who have no conscience and are incorrigible". At this point one of the disembodied beings appears, taking the form of angel-like creature, and announces himself as "Raphael". Raphael explains that physical pleasures revolt him, and that he is dedicated to purely intellectual passions.

Production
Shaw never intended that the play would have mainstream theatre performance. He gave a copy to the Shaw society to organise a reading for its members. A small private production was organised at the tiny Watergate Theatre, London on September 6, 1950, directed by Shaw himself, two months before his death. A public performance followed a year later after Shaw's death in Newcastle upon Tyne at the radical People's Theatre, which had a long association with Shaw.

Interpretations
Matthew Yde sees the play as essentially a reworking of Back to Methuselah, containing the same ideas about "creative evolution" articulated in the form of a myth that draws on Christian traditions. The events of World War II, though alluded to, seem to have had no effect on him: "the stunning revelations about Nazi death camps seem to have made no impression on Shaw, nor have altered his belief in the importance of state liquidation of public enemies in the least."

In a symposium discussion following a 1992 performance of the play at the Milwaukee Shaw Festival, Martin Esslin said that the play indicated that Shaw still saw the future in "nineteenth century terms. It's almost as if someone from the 1880s has suddenly woken up in the 1940s". Esslin considered it to be a "very despairing" play, but clearly drawing on Hegelian ideas of a dialectic of the spirit. Stanley Weintraub argued that Shaw was far less despairing than his Fabian colleague H. G. Wells, but that the play is still one of "despair, gloom and death". Julius Novick noted the references to the creation of Israel in the figure of the Jewish chemist, who appears to be based on Chaim Weizmann. Weizmann had previously been portrayed in similar terms in Shaw's 1936 "playlet" Arthur and the Acetone.

Talk:Introduction to Programming/About Programming

In the last section, about becoming a programmer, Pnguyen added a section about good programming practices. I agree that eventually, we want to have that, but at this point, is anyone from the target audience going to understand or care about them? That isn't to say that what I put in doesn't also have problems. We need a good test audience. Dmclean 16:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Alright, why do we use the word "sexy" here? I personally don't care, but shouldn't we be family-friendly? --Sindikat 14:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

The line "Your program does not do a job any better than an alternative program. At best, you're re-inventing the wheel, at worst, wasting time." ignores the fact that often beginning programmers DO write programs that are no better than others and DO re-invent the wheel as a byproduct of the learning process. Example: writing a program to output the Fibonacci sequence. Just a thought for consideration. <IP_ADDRESS> 00:20, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

In the section "Translation schemes", the citation about Lua language are somewhat wrong, it was developed to help scientists with embeddable scripting and data description at systems developed for PETROBRAS in 1990's (environment supervision, CG and mechanics), and nowadays largely used in embedded systems, tools and games (thank you WoW XD). danielm 15:30, 18 June 2011 (GMT-3)

Snapshot changes to "init" when rendering audio
Q: from Reaktor User Forum: When using a user-created ensemble or synth, when I try to render audio, the preset always reverts to "init" and I'm not able to export an audio file. This also occurs when I push stop on the Cubase transport. However, this thing doesn't happen when using one of the native Reaktor factory ensembles or synths. I've tried just about everything to no avail. The user ensebles are all current versions, and Reaktor is updated to the latest version. Any ideas?

A: Make sure that the inspector in Cubase is set to the snap you want to use

Dona Massin

Dona Massin (born 18 February 1917–26 May 2001) was a film choreographer best known for her work on the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. Dona Massin appeared in over 100 films throughout her career.

Early years
Dona Massin's family moved to Los Angeles, California when she was eight years old. She started her show business career as a child. Also at the age of eight, she sang My Man at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles and received a standing ovation. She then was discovered by Maurice Kosell and was given free dancing lessons due to her natural talent.

At the age of 14, Dona was signed to MGM Studios and worked on many of the musicals. She also worked at 20th Century Fox, Universal, Warner Bros. and Columbia Pictures.

The Wizard of Oz
In 1939, at the age of 21, Massin was signed to production of The Wizard of Oz, where she worked as a choreographer assisting Bobby Connolly. The film took 6 months to complete.

Dona was the first to sing the song "Over The Rainbow", and it was she who pushed for the song to be in the film. She also originated the skip that was performed down the yellow brick road. The skip is a ballet step called pas de basque however, Massin had it executed at a quicker speed than was usual for the step. In the film itself, Massin can be seen grooming the Lion in the scene at the beauty shop. Mervyn Leroy put her in that part to bring good luck to the film.

Personal life
Dona Massin married Don Carn and had one daughter, Jodie Carn, who is a talk show host on ''Jodie L.A.and Jodie in Malibu. Jodie'', filmed in Los Angeles. She retired from show business at the age of 30 to be a wife and mother. In Dona's later years, she and daughter Jodie would visit the Wizard of Oz Festivals in Chesterton, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Chicago. With Dona were some of the little people from the film.

In 2001, she taped Memories of Oz, portraying herself in the production. Also in 2001, she appeared in the television special Last Days of Judy Garland (also portraying herself) and "The E! True Hollywood Story". Towards the end of her life, she gave interviews for both books and television. Dona died from natural causes. She had been residing in Malibu, California with her daughter Jodie.

2015 Sprint Unlimited

The 2015 Sprint Unlimited at Daytona was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 14, 2015, at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Matt Kenseth took the victory ahead of Martin Truex Jr. Carl Edwards, Casey Mears, and Kyle Larson rounded out the top five.

Background
The track, Daytona International Speedway, is one of six superspeedways to hold NASCAR races, the others being Michigan International Speedway, Auto Club Speedway, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Talladega Superspeedway. The standard track at Daytona International Speedway is a four-turn superspeedway that is 2.5 mi long. The track's turns are banked at 31 degrees, while the front stretch, the location of the finish line, is banked at 18 degrees. Denny Hamlin was the defending race winner.

Format and eligibility
The race is 75 laps in length, and was divided into two segments; the first was 25 laps and the second was 50 laps. The race was open to those drivers who won a pole in the 2014 season or had won the Sprint Unlimited previously. Two new changes were announced in December. The field was expanded to those who have won the pole for the Daytona 500 previously and/or were in the Chase in 2014.

Entry list
The entry list for the Sprint Unlimited was released on December 17, 2014. Twenty-five drivers were eligible for the race.

Starting lineup
The starting lineup was determined by a random draw. Paul Menard drew the top spot.

First practice
Kurt Busch was the fastest in the first practice session with a time of 44.832 and a speed of 200.749 mph. Tony Stewart was called to the NASCAR hauler for ignoring the black flag which was shown to him, as he did not weigh in before the session. Per NASCAR regulations, all drivers had to weigh in before the start of the season to calculate the minimum car weights. This was normally done during January Preseason Thunder, but it was canceled in 2015. Stewart took to Twitter to express his frustration upon exiting his car.

Final practice
Jeff Gordon was the fastest in the final practice session with a time of 45.740 and a speed of 196.764 mph.

First segment
The race started at 8:35 p.m. Eastern time with Paul Menard leading the field to the green. With a push from Matt Kenseth on the inside lane, Brad Keselowski took the lead on lap nine. Kenseth jumped to the outside lane to pass Keselowski for the lead on lap eleven, before Martin Truex Jr. utilized a slingshot move to pass Kenseth for the lead the next lap. Kenseth used a push on the bottom to retake the lead on lap 15 but could not maintain the lead as he fell back and handed Truex Jr. the lead. The first caution of the race flew on lap 22 for a single car wreck on the front stretch. Coming to the start-finish line, Kyle Larson made contact with Brad Keselowski, while trying to merge into the top lane of cars. When Keselowski tried to correct it, he destroyed his car's splitter when it dug into the grass. He turned back onto the track and hit the wall. Austin Dillon rear-ended Kyle Busch trying to avoid Keselowski.

The Big One
As the caution came out three laps before the scheduled end of the first segment, NASCAR counted this caution as the competition caution. Upon exiting his car, Keselowski told reporters that he had made contact with Larson and teammate Joey Logano and that he "couldn't tell if someone made contact with me from behind". Keselowski also described the crash as "just part of racing at Daytona" and that his team would "be ready to go when it counts in the [Daytona] 500". Jamie McMurray earned the dubious honor of being the first driver penalized under NASCAR's new pit road monitoring system, as his pit crew was found to be over the wall too soon. Ryan Newman was also penalized for driving through too many pit boxes before reaching his own. The race restarted on lap 30, with Dale Earnhardt Jr. at the head of the race. Truex Jr. ducked underneath Earnhardt Jr. to take back the lead on lap 41, before the second caution of the race flew on lap 45 for The Big One, involving twelve cars. Greg Biffle got into the back of Jamie McMurray enough to turn him; McMurray overcorrected and turned back onto the tri-oval. Aric Almirola, Clint Bowyer, Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, defending race winner Denny Hamlin, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson, Kasey Kahne, McMurray, Paul Menard, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Tony Stewart were all taken out or sustained damage in the crash. McMurray stated that Biffle has "got me loose a couple of times before" but that it was customary for Daytona racing, adding that "you're fighting for every position every lap and he just got into me a little too hard off four and I couldn't hang on to it". Bowyer – having been involved in the crash after his car was hit by Menard – told reporters that he saw a car backwards and became involved in the wreck. Bowyer added that the cars "don't seem to like to go through the grass very well" and that he was "just starting to have some fun and get up through them". This necessitated the race being red flagged for almost 15 minutes; teams were allowed to work on their cars, as the Sprint Unlimited was a non-points race.

Final laps
The race restarted with 27 laps to go. Kenseth dive bombed around Truex to take back the lead with 19 laps to go, before the third caution of the race flew with 14 laps to go after Stenhouse Jr. spun out in turn 3 and took out three other cars with him. The race restarted with nine laps to go, before the fourth caution of the race flew with seven laps to go after Stewart got loose exiting turn 2 and collected Biffle, who hit the inside retaining wall in a manner similar to Danica Patrick in the 2012 Gatorade Duels. Kurt Busch was also taken out in this wreck. The red flag was displayed a second time; after a five-minute delay, Kenseth held off the field until the end of the race, to win ahead of Truex Jr. and Carl Edwards. Only 12 of the race's 25 starters were running at the finish of the event. Kenseth described his victory as "great to win at Daytona anytime" and "a great way to start off the year". Truex Jr. stated that his runner-up finish was the "most fun I have had in a race car in a long, long time".

Post-race
Following the race, Kevin Harvick confronted Joey Logano on pit road after Logano pushed him into the wall with two laps to go. One of Logano's crew members pulled him away from Harvick to prevent the argument from escalating. Harvick stated that "you can't just drive somebody straight in the corner into the fence" and that Logano "kind of did the same thing to me at Talladega". Logano referred to Harvick as "an instigator" and that the incident was "the same old crap". Danica Patrick also seemed to be upset with Logano after the race, but he did not understand why.

User:GregFromAustin

I have always been interested in filmmaking, or at least as far as I can remember. Four years ago, I had the chance to shoot be part of a team who shot a short stereoscopic (3D) movie in a prehistoric cave in France, using a 70mm camera, and since then I have been planning a turn in my career (I am an engineer now).

To give you an idea of the movies I particularly love here is the list of my favorite directors: Robert Bresson, Michael Haneke and Jean-Luc Godard. Nevertheless, I enjoy Hollywood-style movies and American independent cinema.

I decided to start shooting shorts this year and look into financing an independent feature whenever possible.

Although my main interest is in directing, I want to learn the basis on every aspect of making a movie so I can better choose the people I want to work with and can stay involved in every aspect.

I thought that going through the Wikiversity course would be a good starting point before attending workshops from other sources.

Thank you for the time you are investing and let me know if I can be of an help with this wonderful free online University.

Wansunt Pit

Wansunt Pit is a 1.9 hectare geological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Dartford Heath between Crayford in the London Borough of Bexley and Dartford in Kent. It is also a Geological Conservation Review site. It is important geologically because it exposes the Dartford Heath Gravel, and the relationship of this exposure to the Swanscombe sequence and the Thames Terraces is a controversial issue in Thames Pleistocene studies. The site is part of Braeburn Park, a nature reserve managed by the London Wildlife Trust.

Archaeology
The site is also important archaeologically. Excavations going back over a hundred years have revealed stone tools of Homo Heidelbergensis, dating from Marine Isotopic Stage 11, equivalent to the geological Hoxnian Stage, an interglacial period between 424,000 and 374,000 years ago. Other finds include sixteen Bronze Age axes and seventeen Iron Age gold armlets.

The site
The site is divided into two units. The first is crossed by Galloway Drive and the second, which is inaccessible, is north west of Denton Road. Both are in an unfavourable condition.

Fallen Angels (comics)

Fallen Angels is a team of fictional superhuman teenagers appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. A spin-off of The New Mutants, the series starred Sunspot and Warlock along with the character Boom-Boom from X-Factor, along with several additional characters, many of whom were obscure Marvel figures.

The team's only appearances were in the Fallen Angels eight-issue limited series, written by Jo Duffy, which ran from April 1987 to November 1987. The series was originally titled Misfits. Early ads and solicitations for the series showed this title shortly before it was released. A second mini-series was planned but never published. All eight issues were reprinted in 2011 in paperback and hardcover volumes.

History
The group formed after Sunspot accidentally injured fellow New Mutant Cannonball, during a soccer game. Shunned by his teammates (with the exceptions of Wolfsbane and Warlock), a guilt-ridden Sunspot left the team. Warlock, unwilling to let Sunspot be alone in such a state, followed after him. While living on the streets, the group befriended a young Korean girl named Chance, who had the ability to randomly enhance or inhibit the abilities of other mutants and Ariel, a teleporter that could turn doors into temporary gateways with her powers. Ariel and Chance lived with the longtime X-Men villain the Vanisher, who had reinvented himself as a Fagin-style mentor to a group of pickpockets that included Chance and Ariel. They were soon joined by Multiple Man and Siryn, two X-Men allies who were sent to locate the wayward New Mutants, and Vanisher's former star thief Boom Boom, whom Ariel recruited after a fight with Iceman. The group soon picked up several additional non-mutant members, a cyborg named Gomi and his two cybernetically enhanced psychic lobsters Bill and Don, and Moon-Boy and Devil Dinosaur, the later of whom accidentally stepped on and killed the psychic lobster Don.

Most of the eight issue mini-series focused upon Sunspot's guilt towards injuring Cannonball and the mystery of Ariel. It is eventually revealed that Ariel is an alien, from a planet called Coconut Grove, which had ceased to evolve and reached a genetic dead end. Ariel's superiors sought to remedy that situation by studying mutation in other species. Taking her friends to visit her planet, the team is captured by Ariel's superiors for vivisection. Ariel herself was then betrayed, as it is revealed that she herself was a mutant: possessing a persuasion ability unlike any other members of her race. Gomi, whose abilities as a cyborg were unaffected by mutant inhibitor fields, was able to escape his cell and free the others, and Ariel used her persuasion ability to convince the Coconut Grove to let them leave peacefully. Returning home, Sunspot and Warlock declare their intention to rejoin the New Mutants and leave the group, while Siryn and Multiple Man decide to stay alongside their new friends.

Connection to X-Men franchise
Fallen Angels takes place at the same time as the events of New Mutants #53-58. Sunspot and Warlock's departure from the group to join the Fallen Angels, happens in Fallen Angels #1, which takes place before the events of New Mutants #53. During a party at the Hellfire Club, Magneto notices how the New Mutants are too worried about their missing friends to enjoy themselves. Writer Louise Simonson, who took over writing New Mutants with #55, makes multiple mentions of their departure and Sunspot and Warlock's return to the team in New Mutants #59 is a major plot point, with them arriving in time to rescue their friends from Cameron Hodge and the Right.

Boom Boom's departure from X-Factor would be seen in X-Factor #17 and in Fallen Angels #3; the Fallen Angels version showing the sequence from Boom Boom's point of view while X-Factor version from the point of view of Iceman. Like with Sunspot and Warlock, Boom Boom's return to the team would serve a major plot point involving Cameron Hodge and his anti-mutant group the Right. Boom Boom returns in X-Factor #22, just as Hodge's group has attacked the team's headquarters and kidnapped the group's young charges. Following them, Boom Boom plays a critical role in rescuing her friends and unmasking Hodge as the leader of the Right.

Multiple Man's involvement with the Fallen Angels (and his romance with Siryn during the mini-series) was later retconned as not being the main version of the character, but a renegade version of Madrox who drugged the real Jamie in order to take his place during the assignment. This renegade duplicate later appears in X-Factor #72-75, having aligned himself with Mr. Sinister to destroy the real Jamie Madrox, a plan that failed due to the duplicate being unable to replace the real Jamie as the dominant personality. Later, during the "Xcutioner's Song" story arc, Siryn encounters the real Jamie Madrox and is shocked that he does not remember their brief romance and time with the Fallen Angels.

Ariel would later become an unofficial X-Men during the group's time on the island nation Utopia. Her only appearance on the team would be during the "Second Coming" crossover, during which she was killed when a car she was driving was blown up by a stinger missile fired by the Church of Humanity, as part of a gambit to kill off all known teleporters (Vanisher, who was a member of X-Force at this time, was killed in similar fashion). In X-Men Legacy #260, the character was revealed to have survived, granted trapped between dimensions and freed by the X-Men.

Planned sequel
Marvel commissioned a sequel series in 1989, written by Jo Duffy and drawn by Colleen Doran. The sequel series would have jettisoned the various X-Men characters and focus instead on Chance, Ariel, Gomi, and Moon Boy; as well as introduce several new characters. The planned sequel however, was never published though the first two issues had been completed by Duffy and Doran.

Volume 2
Fallen Angels was relaunched in November 2019 as part of Dawn of X. Written by Bryan Edward Hill, and drawn by Szymon Kudranski, the initial team comprised Cable, Psylocke, and X-23.

Fallen Angels Members
In 1987, the team debuted in Fallen Angels #1.

Plot
According to the Marvel website, new series features Psylocke who finds herself in the Mutantkind world, "but when a face from her past returns only to be killed, she seeks help from others who feel similar to get vengeance."

LPI Linux Certification/LPIC2 Exam 202/Web Services

Section Overview
Implementing a web server Maintaining a web server Implementing a proxy server

Implementing a Web server

 * access.log
 * .htaccess
 * httpd.conf
 * mod_auth
 * Htpasswd
 * Htgroup

Exercises Key terms, files and utilities :
 * Maintaining a Web server
 * Maintaining a Web server
 * httpd.conf

Exercises
 * Implementing a proxy server

We will be using the squid web proxy server version 2.4 and Linux kernel version 2.4.

Proxying can be done in two ways : normal proxying and transparent proxying
 * In normal proxying, the client specifies the hostname and port number of a proxy in his web browsing software. The browser then makes requests to the proxy, and the proxy forwards them to the origin servers.
 * In transparent proxying, ...

Use transparent proxying if : You want to force clients on your network to use the proxy, whether they want to or not. You want clients to use a proxy, but don't want them to know they're being proxied. You want clients to be proxied, but don't want to go to all the work of updating the settings in hundreds or thousands of web browsers.

There are two types of transparent proxying :

 * Squid on the gateway
 * Squid on a separate box than the gateway

Squid on the gateway box
Setting up squid for ordinary proxying is quite simple : after installing squid, edit the default configuration file squid.conf Find the following directives, uncomment them, and change them to the appropriate values: Next, look at the cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group directives, and set them up with a dedicated user and group (i.e squid/squid)
 * httpd_accel_host virtual
 * httpd_accel_port 80
 * httpd_accel_with_proxy on
 * httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

Finally, look at the http_access directive. The default is usually ``http_access deny all''. This will prevent anyone from accessing squid. For now, you can change this to ``http_access allow all'', but once it is working, you will probably want to read the directions on ACLs (Access Control Lists), and setup the cache such that only people on your local network (or whatever) can access the cache.

ACLs in squid will enable you to restrict access to the proxy. The general format for an ACL rule is : acl aclname acltype string1 ... ACL rules can then be used in the http_access directive

ACL types are : acl aclname src <IP_ADDRESS>/24 acl aclname dst <IP_ADDRESS>/24 acl ACLTIME time M 9:00-17:00 acl acceleratedport port 80 acl aclname proto HTTP FTP acl aclname method GET POST acl twoconn maxconn 5
 * Src : acl aclname src ip-address/netmask
 * Dst : acl aclname dst ip-address/netmask
 * Time : acl aclname time [day-abbreviations: M,T,W,H,F,A,S] [h1:m1-h2:m2]
 * Port : acl aclname port port-no
 * Proto : acl aclname proto protocol
 * Method : acl aclname method method-type
 * Maxconn : acl aclname maxconn integer

Next, initialize the cache directories with squid -z (if this is a not a new installation of squid, you should skip this step). Next, launch squid via the /etc/init.d/squid script, and you should be able to set your web browser's proxy settings to the IP of the box and port 3128 (unless you changed the default port number) and access squid as a normal proxy. Implementing a proxy server Transparent proxying can be set up in two different ways : on the router or on another (remote) host Transparent proxying on the router will involve setting up squid in the « normal », and configuring the packet filtering subsystem to redirect clients' connections to squid The kernel's networking options required are :
 * Under 'General Setup'
 * Networking support
 * Sysctl support

 * Under 'Networking Options'
 * Network packet filtering
 * TCP/IP networking

 * Under 'Networking Options' -> IP: Netfilter Configuration
 * Connection tracking
 * IP tables support
 * Full NAT
 * REDIRECT target support

 * Under 'File Systems'
 * /proc filesystem support

You must say NO to Fast switching under Networking Options !

Once you have your new kernel up and running, make sure you have IP forwarding enabled. Next, to configure iptables to enable transparent proxying, all you have to do is : iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128

Transparent proxying to a remote box
Let's assume we have two boxes called squid-box and iptables-box, and that they are on the network local-network. First, on the machine that squid will be running on, squid-box, you do not need iptables or any special kernel options on this machine, just squid. You *will*, however, need the 'http_accel' options as described above. Now, on the machine that iptables will be running on, iptables-box, you will need to configure the kernel as described above, except that you don't need the REDIRECT target support. You will need 2 iptables rules : '''iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s ! squid-box -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to squid-box:3128''' iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s local-network -d squid-box -j SNAT --to iptables-box The first one sends the packets to squid-box from iptables-box. The second makes sure that the reply gets sent back through iptables-box, instead of directly to the client. This is very important, because otherwise squid will never receive the answer from the target web server (and thus, no caching can take place!)

Key terms, files and utilities :
 * squid.conf
 * Acl
 * http_access

San Vidal, Venice

San Vidal (San Vitale) is a former church, and now an event and concert hall located at one end of the Campo Santo Stefano in the Sestiere of San Marco, where it leads into the campiello San Vidal, and from there to the Ponte dell'Accademia that spans the Grand Canal and connects to the Sestiere of Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy.

History
A church at the site was erected in the year 1084 by Doge Vitale Falier. This church was destroyed in 1105 by a major city fire. Reconstruction continued for centuries and was finished by the 16th century. But poor foundations led to a renewed reconstruction in the 17th century, using designs Antonio Gaspari. It was rebuilt in 1696 to honor the former Doge Francesco Morosini. On the facade (1734–37), designed by Andrea Tirali, are sculpted portraits of the Doge Carlo Contarini and his wife Paolina.

At present in 2022, the church is deconsecrated, and the chamber music group Interpreti Veneziani performs concerts at the church.

Interior
The main altarpiece is a San Vidal on Horseback with eight saints (1514) by Vittore Carpaccio; in the painting, four of the saints flank the saint on a white horse, while four are in the balconies above. The altar is flanked by two marble statues of the allegories of Faith (veiled) and Fortitude by Antonio Gai. The interior also houses an Immaculate Conception by Sebastiano Ricci, a Crucifixion and Apostles by Giulia Lama, a Trinity with Saints Peter and Francesco di Paola by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini, and a Guardian Angel with St Anthony of Padua and St Cajetan of Thiene by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta.

Although there is no gravestone, the famous composer Baldassarre Galuppi is buried here. His funeral was held in the nearby church of Santo Stefano.

Restoration
San Vidal has a 29m (94ft) church bell tower, or campanile. It was a part of the original 1084 design and was rebuilt, as was the entire church, after a fire in 1105. It was restored again in 1347 and again in 1680. Evidence of these redesigns can be seen in the inclusion of a 12th Century cornice piece and a stone relief of St Gregory installed above a side door. Additional restoration work was done in 1902 and 2000.

Bruce Light

Bruce Malcolm Light (26 June 1949 – 24 January 2018 ) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). During his career he played four games for South Australia and won a premiership with Port Adelaide in 1977. THE Port Adelaide Football Club mourns the passing of premiership wingman Bruce Light.

Light, who represented Port Adelaide in 216 games from 1967 to 1978, died on Tuesday night at the age of 68 after a long battle with illness.

Light was awarded Port Adelaide Life Membership in 1976 and played a pivotal role the following season in the club’s drought-breaking 1977 premiership.

His close friend and premiership captain Russell Ebert recalls a man who was adored by Port Adelaide supporters throughout the 1970s for his electrifying speed, courage and flowing blond hair.

“Bruce had the respect of everyone. Regardless of who you asked - Port Adelaide supporters, fellow teammates or casual observers - Bruce Light would invariably be in the top 3 for people’s favourite players during his career,” remembered Ebert.

“Bruce was different to wingman of that time. He loved being in the thick of the action and he had the courage to back it up. But he was also the fastest player I’ve ever seen which made him very popular with our supporters but not so popular with opposition wingman.”

In the book Dynasty, legendary Port Adelaide player and coach Fos Williams described Light as a “superior footballer”.

“He was courageous, he'd wave the ball around and get away with it and was just a natural showing the skills on both sides of his body,” said Williams.

Ebert fondly reflects on Light’s career noting his performance in State games versus Victoria as highlights along with his brilliant 1977 finals series for Port Adelaide. For Light, team success always overshadowed individual glory.

“Bruce was all about team success and triumph for the whole club. Along with his teammates, Bruce loved the trainers and volunteers at the club and always felt a real sense of responsibility toward the entire club and supporter base. And anyone who saw Bruce play would know he played like he carried that responsibility,” said Ebert.

For all the incredible football qualities Light possessed it was his friendship and willingness to help others that resonates most with Ebert.

“Bruce was a great friend. You often get asked about teammates you would go to war with and I know Bruce would be the first to put his hand up to be alongside you,” said Ebert.

“Footy was a vehicle for Bruce to do other things in life that were important to him and to help others. During his career, Bruce went back to study as a mature-aged student and got a teaching degree. One of his great passions was teaching and helping the children of Ashford Special School here in Adelaide to develop and achieve their goals and he spent more than a decade in that role.

“Beyond football, Bruce had many amazing qualities that a lot of people didn't see and he'll be sadly missed by all those who had the pleasure of knowing him.”

Everyone at the Port Adelaide Football Club passes on its condolences to the entire Light family

Bruce Light will be farewelled next week at a private service.

Port Adelaide will honour Light’s memory and outstanding contribution at Adelaide Oval in Round 1.

Nehemiah Green (March 8, 1837 – January 12, 1890) was the fourth Governor of Kansas, serving in that position on an interim basis from November 1868 to January 1869. He subsequently served as Speaker pro Tempore of the Kansas House of Representatives.

Background
Green was born in Hardin County, Ohio. In 1855, he moved to Kansas Territory with two of his brothers, Lewis F. and George S., both of whom later served in the Kansas legislature. After two years in Kansas, Green returned to Ohio to complete his education at Ohio Wesleyan University. Following graduation in 1859 he served as minister at Methodist churches in Aberdeen, Ohio, and Williamsburg, Ohio.

During the Civil War, Green enlisted as a private in the 153rd Ohio Infantry, a 100 days service regiment in 1864, but a serious illness in his lungs forced him to leave the service with the rank of sergeant major. Following the war Green moved to Manhattan, Kansas, where he served as a minister.

Political career
In 1866, Green was elected Lieutenant Governor under Samuel Crawford. He ascended to the Governorship when Crawford resigned to join the military a little more than two months before the inauguration of governor-elect James M. Harvey.

After leaving office, Green returned to the ministry in Manhattan. He also served as a regent of, and taught military drill tactics at, Kansas State Agricultural College. After several years outside politics, Green was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives in 1880 and served as Speaker pro-tem until 1882. He died in 1890 from lingering complications from his Civil War illness, and is buried in Manhattan's Sunset Cemetery.

Osage Plains

The Osage Plains are a physiographic section of the larger Central Lowland province, which in turn is part of the larger Interior Plains physiographic division. The area is sometimes called the Lower Plains, North Central Plains,or Rolling Plains. The Osage Plains, covering west-central Missouri, the southeastern third of Kansas, most of central Oklahoma, and extending into north-central Texas, is the southernmost of three tallgrass prairie physiographic areas. It grades into savanna and woodland to the east and south, and into shorter, mixed-grass prairie to the west. The Osage Plains consist of three subregions. The Osage Plains proper occupy the northeast segment. Although sharply demarcated from the Ozark uplift, the plains are nonetheless a transitional area across which the boundary between prairie and woodland has shifted over time. In the central portion of the physiographic area lies the second subregion, the Flint Hills, commonly called "the Osage" in Oklahoma. This large remnant core of native tallgrass prairie is a rocky rolling terrain that runs from north to south across Kansas and extends into Oklahoma. To the west and south of these hills are the Blackland Prairies and Cross Timbers. This vegetatively complex region of intermixed prairie and scrubby juniper-mesquite woodland extends into north-central Texas. Bluestem prairies and oak-dominated savannas and woodlands characterize the natural vegetation in the Cross Timbers. Much of the area has been converted to agriculture, although expanses of oak forest and woodland are still scattered throughout the eastern portion of the subregion.

Birds in the Osage Plains include the threatened greater prairie-chicken, Henslow's sparrow, dickcissel, loggerhead shrike, field sparrow, scissor-tailed flycatcher, Bell's vireo, painted bunting, and Harris's sparrow. Wildfire suppression, overgrazing, and the spread of exotic plants are the factors most negatively affecting priority bird habitat. The area now is managed almost exclusively for beef production with annual burns and intensive grazing practices that provide little of the habitat structure required to support many priority bird species.

Historically, fire, drought, and plains bison were dominant ecological forces and had great influences on the vegetation from local to landscape scales. The Osage Plains and Flint Hills were dominated historically by tallgrass prairie with scattered groves of blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica) in the uplands and along drainages. A variety of wetland types, including wet prairie, marshes, and northern floodplain forests occurred along larger rivers. Today, much of the land in the Osage Plains is planted to corn and soybeans, or has been converted to non-native grasses for pasture and hay. Large expanses of tallgrass prairie remain in the Flint Hills, where relief is greater than in the Osage Plains subregion and the land less suitable for cropping.

Geology
The Osage Plains are underlain by soft shales with interbedded sandstones and limestones of late Mississippian to Pennsylvanian ages. Some of the rocks prevalent in the Osage Plains are Mississippian limestone, limestone shale, Ordovician dolomite, and Pennsylvanian coal. Also, clay and shale are found within the Pennsylvanian bedrock.

The area contained two major mining areas. The biggest was the Tri-State lead and zinc region, consisting of nearly 2000 sqmi. This was the largest concentration of zinc deposits anywhere in the world. Most mining sites have closed, mainly due to health and other environmental issues. More than $1 billion worth of lead and zinc were extracted from the area during the active mining days. The other major mining was for bituminous coal. Due to air quality standards, this region's coal is in low demand due to its high sulfur content.

Data Structures and Algorithms/Hash Tables

A hash table is a data structure. A hash table has a corresponding hash function that it used to access the data in the hash table. Analogous to how you can access and array value if you know its key (i.e. array index), even hash tables have keys. These keys are passed to the hash function, which then returns the address of the corresponding value. The key to a hash table's performance lies in its hash function. Unlike arrays which always have only 1 value per key, hash values allow a many-to-one relation between keys and values, i.e. each key points to a bucket, which can store multiple values using data structures like linked lists. Hash tables can thus provide for nearly fixed average time for insertion, deletion and accessing data, even for large amounts of data.

Mirabel-aux-Baronnies

Mirabel-aux-Baronnies (Mirabèu) is a commune in the Drôme department in the  Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in southeastern France.

Perched on top of a hill, Mirabel is renowned for its mild climate and scenery. It was first mentioned in 1059 as Mirabello Castello.

Mirabel-aux-Baronnies is situated next to the river Gaude on a hill halfways between Nyons and Vaison-la-Romaine and had a castle with a tower so high that one could see Orange in Vaucluse. The castle incorporated the chapel of Saint Julien.

History
Mirabel-aux-Baronnies is the former capital of a Vocontii tribe, the Gaudenses. It is said that Mirabel has its name from the previously mentioned high tower of the former castle, the tower was named Turris Mirabellis. Later known as Castrum Mirabellum, it was part of the county of the Montauban-family. 9 October 1206, baron Dragonet de Montauban and his son Raymond exchanged with Eliarde, abesse of Saint-Cesaire of Arles, Mirabel and its surroundings for the signeurship of Vinsobres. After annexation of the baronies by the Dauphin, Mirabel grew in importance (it had even its own money) and in number of inhabitants. The castle was fortified and enlarged, the chapel of St-Julien was rebuilt. The domaine de Beaulieu, at the south of Mirabel became one of the principal residences of the Dauphin. In the 14th century Mirabel was heavily damaged by the religion-based wars. Until 1348 Mirabel-aux-Baronnies did have a Jewish quarter called Les Josiols, positioned outside the walls on the north next to the creek Françonne. Due to the suspicion they caused the Black Death, the Jews were either expelled or assassinated in 1348. The houses in the quarter were destroyed.

After the arrival of Protestantism in the region, Mirabel-aux-Baronnies changed a lot. First, the chapel of St-Julien was destroyed and in 1633 the castle and a part of the walls. Those walls were restored in 1652 because again the pest was feared, and equipped with 4 new gates. The present church is reconstructed on the remains of the old chapel during 1645-1651. Between 1790 en 1800, Mirabel was chief-lieu of the Canton. After July 1794 (murder of Robespierre) Mirabel was a major centre of royalist parties.

Mirabel-aux-Baronnies was one of the first villages having a public water system. In 1876, Italian specialists were hired. They lived for several years in Mirabel and even had an own school for their children. The water coming from the source Tune, more than 4 km outside the village, was captured and fed into a system of in-situ made concrete tubes of 20 cm diameter (see figure), alimenting 2 fountains and 4 reservoirs (F: lavoir) with fresh drinking water. The fountains, one of which originated in the 13th century and was later adapted for use with the water system, are still in good condition. Those eldest fountain is situated on the old market-square.

Daily life
Friday is (food) market day in Mirabel. From 30 November until the end of February there is an olive market which starts at eight o'clock in the morning every Saturday.

There is also an antiques market held on the first and third Sunday of every month from June till September. The village's fête du vin takes place annually on 15 August.

The amenities located in Mirabel include a tourist office, post office, two bakeries, one bureau de tabac, one pharmacy, two restaurants, two bars, one salon de thé (teahouse), one butcher, one antique bookseller, one brocante, one old olive mill (museum), one current olive mill (Chameil).

Retief Waltman

Retief Waltman (born 1938–39) is a former South African professional golfer and is a Christian missionary.

Professional career
Waltman started his career as an assistant professional Pretoria Country Club. He showed promise as a teenager and, at the age of 18, beat Bobby Locke in the first round of the 1957 South African Professional Match Play Championship. His victory was referred to as "one of the greatest surprises in South African golf for several years." Waltman was an unknown teenager and Locke was considered one of the best golfers in the world and would go on to win the British Open four months later.

Waltman won his first big tournament, the 1961 South African Open, by an extraordinary eight shots. Two years later he would win the event again by shot over colored golfer Sewsunker Sewgolum. In addition to these triumphs he won multiple other events on the South African circuit and the 1963 Dutch Open.

Missionary work
Waltman was considered a "potential superstar" but abruptly quit golf at the age of 25 after completing the 1964 Masters Tournament. Waltman stated, "I wanted a purpose for my life. I was devoting my whole life to a game. Being so involved in golf limited me. Man is his own biggest enemy." The golf commentator Henry Longhurst elaborated, "Gradually the sheer materialism of this form of life and the unceasing emphasis on money began to sicken him, as it must have done so many before him. The difference was that he did not threaten to give it up. He just gave it up." He became a Christian missionary. As of 2006, he was still a missionary. He survived three knife attacks during his work.

Personal life
The future professional golfer Retief Goosen is named after Waltman.

Autoimmunity

The human body is equipped with a sophisticated mechanism to preserve the body against a variety of invading organisms. In some disease states, this mechanism is focused against some of its own elements, which cause harm. This group of diseases are called 'autoimmune'. Some diseases are autoimmune in nature, for example, Rheumatoid arthritis and Lupus erythematosus.

Autoimmunity in domestic animals
The immune system has the capacity to control possible reactions against its own antigens by means of central and peripheral regulation. Autoimmunity appears when the regulation of the immune response is not working well. During central tolerance lymphocytes, T and B are induced in apoptosis if they recognize the body antigens as strange.

Autoimmunity is a kind of hypersensitivity in which the immune system recognizes the body´s components as strange antigens. It can be mediated by lymphocytes B, T, antibodies or a combination of both. Other possibilities are when antigens are hidden by biological barriers or some microorganisms have similarities with body antigens.

There are a few factors such as genetics, breed, species or the breeding system which can predispose autoimmunity in domestic animals. For example, genetics is not decisive but it can increase problems in these diseases, but it is not enough to induce autoimmunity by itself. Some dog breed in which cross-breeding is highly endogamic, risks are increased because in these cases the most important reason could be less genetic variability; this happens especially in immunodeficiencies. On the other hand, we can see molecular mimesis between heart muscle or neuron antigens and some antigens of microorganisms like Trypanosoma cruzi.

There are four types of hypersensitivity, but the following are the most frequent examples. In cows, IgE synthesis is induced when α-casein of milk has access to the bloodstream and after second exposure animals develop anaphylaxis. Hashimoto´s thyroiditis is common in dogs and chickens but in general it is not poliglandular like in humans. It can affect only one organ. Some breeds like Dobermann, Great Dane, Cocker Spaniel, Beagle are commonly affected by this disease. Gland thyroid appeared with lymphocytes and plasmatic cells including germinal centers. Cytotoxic cells, antibodies, and complement cause lysis. Clinical signs such as hypotrichosis, dry hair, pyoderma, hyperpigmentation develop when 75% of the gland is destroyed. The same mechanism occurs in newborn hemolytic anemia in horses when the mother and father have different blood groups. Myasthenia gravis can affect dogs, cats and human beings, it is characterized by fatigue and muscle weakness after exercise. In breeds such as Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, and Springer Spaniel this disease is hereditary and congenital. Clinical signs appear in young dogs but in adult dogs, it is caused by IgG antibodies against acetylcholine receptors and they cause damage with complement. Drugs such as anticholinesterase enzymes are useful in the treatment.

Diabetes mellitus, which is rare in cattle but most common in dogs, is a disease mediated by antibodies against an enzyme of pancreatic islets (β cells). The mechanism is possible through antibodies, cytotoxic cells or both. In veterinary medicine the treatment must be immunosuppression.
