Endurance athlete Eoin Keith strode through the finish line of the UTMB Oman race this weekend, securing a first place win in his age group.

With a total distance of 137km and a total elevation gain of 7,800m, the UTMB Oman race, which took place from 29 November to 1 December, traverses some of the most beautiful and harsh landscapes of Arabia. Temperatures can sky-rocket to 25°C during the day, and then plummet to below freezing at night. Of the over 300 competitors that began the race, only half of the runners were able to make it to the finish line.

Keith ran across the finish in a time of 25 hours, 29 minutes, and 25 seconds, winning first place in his age group.

Like many slaves from Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) during the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), Pablo Alí crossed the border to serve in the Spanish colonial army of Santo Domingo (present-day Dominican Republic) as a means of obtaining his freedom. In 1795Spain ceded Santo Domingo to France. Alí subsequently participated in the War of Reconquest, in which French troops were defeated and Santo Domingo was reunited with Spain (1809). In 1811 the Spanish throne named him first colonel and granted him a gold medal in recognition of his service to the Crown.

In 1820 Alí served as colonel of the Batallón de Morenos (Black Batallion) in Santo Domingo. After learning that his application for Spanish citizenship had been denied, in 1821 Alí pledged his loyalty to the insurrectionists, led by José de Núñez Cáceres and served as their chief military commander That same year ...

María de Lourdes Ghidoli

who achieved the rank of colonel in the Unitarian militia, a political faction in Argentina. In the nineteenth century, he was one of the best-remembered soldiers of African descent, and his life transcended the boundaries of his community. He was born on 23 December in the city of Mendoza. His parents were African slaves, and he himself was a slave of Cristóbal Barcala, a native of Granada (Spain), whose last name he was given, as was the custom. He married Petrona Videla, with whom he had at least three children: Eusebio Toribio, Raymunda de la Concepción, and Ana del Corazón de Jesús. He was also the father of a son born out of wedlock, Celestino Barcala, who was a soldier like Lorenzo and fought the federals in the 1860s.

It is not known when and how Lorenzo Barcala got his liberty Some biographies indicate that General José de San Martín ...

Yvette Modestin and Toshi Sakai

(fl. 1540s–1550s) is the most famous of several black liberationist leaders of colonial Panama. By the mid-sixteenth century, thousands of Africans in the isthmus had escaped enslavement and were living free in the forests. Called Cimarrones, from the Taino word sima meaning “flight,” they formed self-governing, African-rooted societies. Bayano was the leader of some 1,200 Cimarrones (Pike, 2007; Araúz, 1997) in the eastern region that extended from the Darien to the Rio Chagres. The earliest references to him appear in the mid-1540s when Spanish colonial authorities warn travelers of the danger of Cimarron ambushes on forest roads.

Details of Bayano’s birth, ethnicity, early life, and path to power are not known, but theories abound. The historian Fernando Romero (1975) speculated that his name may indicate Vai origin one of many ethnic groups from the large area then known as Guinea in West Africa but ...

Philippe Girard

also known as Jean-Baptiste Mars or Timbaze, was a slave, freedman, officer, and deputy from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti). He was the first black deputy in the French Parliament and introduced the 1794 law that abolished slavery in the French colonies.

Belley’s origins are uncertain. By his own account, he was born on Gorée Island near present-day Senegal around 1747 and transported to Cap-Français (Cap-Haïtien) around the age of 2, presumably as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Another document, however, lists his birthplace as Léogane in 1755 Saint-Domingue. After obtaining his manumission, Belley, like many free people of color, acquired slaves. As a member of a Dominguan mixed-race unit, he may also have taken part in the 1779 siege of Savannah in support of the American Revolution, where he allegedly gained the warlike nickname of “Mars.”

Belley’s role during the Haitian Revolution, which began in 1789 ...

Jane G. Landers

former slave who became one of the leaders of the 1791 slave revolt on Saint-Domingue, was born on that French Caribbean island in the late eighteenth century. Biassou’s African-born mother, Diana, was a slave in Providence Hospital, affiliated with the Fathers of Charity, in the capital city of Cap-Français. Nothing is known of his father, Carlos. As an adult, Biassou served as a slave driver on a sugar estate owned by the Jesuit order in Haut de Cap. On 14 August 1791 Biassou joined other slave drivers at the Lenormand de Mézy plantation to plan the revolt that changed history. On 22 August 1791 several thousand slaves across the island’s northern plain set fire to the cane fields and great houses, and smashed the sugar-refining equipment on more than thousand plantations.

After the revolt s leader Boukman Dutty was killed Biassou assumed command of the slave armies sharing leadership with ...

Ángela Lucía Agudelo González

and possible founder of San Basilio de Palenque, the first free black town in the Western Hemisphere, was born in West Africa on the island of Bissagos in Guinea-Bissau. In 1596 he was captured by the Portuguese slave trader Pedro Goméz Reynel and was sold later on to a Spaniard by the name of Alfonso del Campo at Cartagena de Indias, a major slave-trading port on the Caribbean coast of the New Kingdom of Granada. Campo baptized him with the Christian name Domingo Biohó and employed him as a rower on a boat on the Magdalena River.

After trying various times to escape from his master, in 1599 Benkos managed to escape with a group of other slaves, his wife, and his children. Together they fled the city of Cartagena and installed themselves in swampy, difficult-to-access lands. It was there that they founded the continent’s first palenque maroon community ...

David Buisseret

Maroon leader in seventeenth-century Jamaica, was also known as Lobolo, Luyola, Don Wall Bolo, and Boulo. Nothing is known of his early life.

After the English invading army occupied Jamaica in 1655, Juan de Bolas, a former slave of the Spaniards, took to the hills and led a center of resistance. When this pelinco, or settlement, was discovered and raided by the English in 1660, Juan de Bolas came over to the side of the new colonizers, waging war on the other key areas of guerrilla resistance, with him and his men absorbed into the English military hierarchy. Three years later he was ambushed and killed by one of his former comrades-in-arms.

In 1655 after the English conquest of Jamaica some of the Spaniards and their former slaves formed various centers of resistance in the mountainous interior of the island One of these was located in ...

Marlene L. Daut

escaped slave, navy landsman, and U.S. Medal of Honor recipient, was born in Natchez, Mississippi, in 1841 of unknown parentage. Brown was a slave in Mississippi on a cotton plantation, and nothing is known of his childhood or to whom he belonged. In the early 1860s, at the start of the Civil War, Brown ran away from his master on a skiff that eventually managed to reach a Union ship stationed on the Mississippi River. This encounter with the navy probably accounts for his subsequent enlistment. The navy was a likely choice for an escaped slave; many escaped slaves, as well as free blacks from the North, were often drawn to the service because of its better pay and purported fairer treatment of blacks. Brown enlisted in the Union navy on 18 March 1863 under the title 1st Class Boy and was officially described as a Contraband Negro five ...

D. A. Dunkley

otherwise known as Captain Cudjoe, was a leader of the Leeward Maroons, so named because they were situated in the wind-sheltered mountainous area known as the Cockpit Country in western Jamaica. The Windward Maroons were on the opposite side of the island, in eastern Jamaica. Cudjoe was born around 1690, though some researchers have dated his birth at 1680. He was born after the island became a colony of the English, who captured it from the Spanish in 1655. Cudjoe began life in the parish of St. James, the eastern part of which would form the parish of Trelawny in 1771. His name is sometimes written as “Cudjo” or “Kojo” and corresponds to the West African Ashanti name “Kodjó” and the Akan name “Kwadwó” or “Kwadjó.” The latter is the Akan word for Monday, with the ending dwó or djó associated with peace.

Malini Johar Schueller

author, runaway slave, traveler, and public speaker, was born a slave in 1827 or 1828 in New Orleans. No information is available about his parents except that they were presumably of mixed-racial heritage because Dorr referred to himself as a “quadroon” and was light enough to pass for white. His owner was Cornelius Fellowes, a lawyer, with whom Dorr traveled around Europe and the Near East from 1851 to 1854. Fellowes promised to manumit Dorr upon their return to the United States but reneged on his promise, at which time Dorr escaped to Cleveland. There he decided to publish an account of his travels based upon the diary he had kept. In 1858 his book A Colored Man Round the World was privately printed and attracted enough attention to be reviewed in a number of important Cleveland newspapers.

Born in Lynn, Massachusetts, Charles Remond Douglass was the third and youngest son of Frederick and Anna Murray Douglass. Named for his father's friend and fellow black antislavery speaker Charles Lenox Remond, Charles attended the public schools in Rochester, New York, where the family moved in late 1847. As a boy, he delivered copies of his father's newspaper, North Star.

As a young man, Charles became the first black from New York to enlist for military service in the Civil War, volunteering for the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Unlike his brother Lewis, who also served in the Fifty-fourth and became a sergeant major in that regiment, Charles was unable to deploy with his fellow troops owing to illness. As late as November 1863 Charles remained at the training camp in Readville Massachusetts He ultimately joined another black regiment the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry rising to ...

Donald Yacovone

Civil War soldier, reformer, and businessman, was the second of five children of the abolitionist leader and orator Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) and Anna Murray Douglass (1813–1882). Lewis, born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where his father settled shortly after his flight from slavery, proved the most successful of the Douglass children and the one his father most relied upon in later years. After the family moved to Rochester, New York, the eight-year-old Lewis and his siblings became beneficiaries of his father's successful efforts to desegregate the city's public schools—a tradition that Lewis maintained as an adult when he lived in the District of Columbia. As soon as he was old enough, he helped his father with the publication of his antislavery newspapers and after his father fled Federal authorities in the wake of John Brown's 1859 raid at Harpers Ferry the nineteen ...

and a son of Frederick Douglass. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Lewis Henry Douglass was the second child and eldest son of Frederick and Anna Murray Douglass. When Lewis was eight the family moved to Rochester, New York, where the boy was educated in public schools. After finishing his education, Lewis helped his father with his newspaper North Star, learning the printer's trade. Considered the ablest of Douglass's children, Lewis was the person Frederick Douglass asked to secure his papers from John Brown after the Harpers Ferry raid to prevent federal marshals from discovering them.

During the Civil War, Lewis enlisted in the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, attaining the rank of sergeant major and taking part in the attack on Fort Wagner, South Carolina, in July 1863 After the war Lewis and his brother Frederick Jr went to Denver Colorado where Lewis worked as a ...

Caryn Cossé Bell

businessman, Civil War veteran, and Reconstruction politician, was the son of the influential Creole New Orleanian Joseph Dumas, one of the owners of the Dumas Brothers French Quarter clothiers, a firm that specialized in imported French cloth and luxury apparel. Joseph Dumas invested his share of the firm's profits in real estate and accumulated a considerable fortune in property holdings and slaves. In 1860 African American Louisianans like François and Joseph Dumas constituted the wealthiest population of free blacks in the United States.

Joseph Dumas's import business necessitated that the Dumas family sojourn frequently in France, and it was there that François, was born, raised, and educated. François arrived in New Orleans shortly before the Civil War to manage the family business. He married Marguerite Victoria Victor, and the couple had five children, three girls and two boys. By 1860 he had become one ...

was born in Africa in either Guinea or Congo, and arrived in the New World by the Middle Passage. Where he disembarked is not known, but at some point he was brought to the northeast coast of Florida, and in 1772 was purchased by Francisco Xavier Sánchez (c.1736–1805), a Floridano planter and cattle baron with extensive holdings in Spanish-colonial Florida. Edimboro worked at Don Sánchez’s original homestead, a thousand-acre plantation-ranch called San Diego (now Guana Tolomata Matanzas National Research Reserve in Palm Valley) and distinguished himself by his valuable skills as a butcher (St. Augustine Record, 2002; Landers, 1991, p. 180). Over the next two decades he and his wife, Filis (1760–? a laundress also owned by Don Sánchez took on a variety of extra jobs and slowly amassed enough money to purchase their freedom According to historian Jane Landers in addition ...

John Herschel Barnhill

Black Seminole scout, was born either in Arkansas or in Indian territory west of Arkansas. Nothing is known of his parents or childhood. Sixteen Native Americans won the Medal of Honor for their service in the Indian Wars, as the conflicts between indigenous Native Americans and European settlers and their descendents were known. Four of them, including Factor, a private, were Seminole-Negro Indian Scouts, descendants of the slaves who had found refuge with the Seminoles of Florida during the Seminole Wars of 1817 and 1836 and later migrated to Nacimiento, Mexico, in 1850.

When the Seminoles moved to Texas in 1857 the Black Seminoles remained in Mexico rather than risk being enslaved They adapted their survival skills to the new region and became invaluable scouts serving as militia for Mexico against the Comanche and Lipan Apaches Soon though they were sought after by the segregated U S Army ...

Laura Murphy

writer, sailor, soldier, teacher, and minister, was one of ten children born in North Carolina to Abel Ferebee, a slave and minister of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion Church, and Chloe (maiden name unknown), a slave. When London was young his mother was sold, apparently because of her unwillingness to submit to her master and her ability to beat him in a fight. She was sold to a speculator, who offered to sell her to her husband or his master, who had allowed Ferebee to hire himself out to a local farmer so that they both profited from his labor. When she was subsequently bought by one of the two men—it is unclear which—London and two of his siblings were allowed to move with her, though they all remained enslaved.

Once he was old enough to begin laboring London was immediately set to ...

Following a lynching in Urbana in 1897 Bushnell then running for reelection as governor failed to send state troops to protect a black man accused of rape Bushnell s failure to save the defenseless man outraged African Americans who believed the governor allowed the lynching fearing a backlash by white voters if he intervened At the time of the lynching Fillmore worked for Bushnell in the office of the secretary of state He was also a major in the Ninth Ohio Battalion of the Ohio National Guard then one of four black military units in ...

Fuller Sr., a printer who instilled in his son the love for words. Fuller was raised in northern Philadelphia in an integrated neighborhood. When he was thirteen he saw his first theatre performance at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia. The experienced made a lasting impression on him. Later, he became a voracious reader. His readings made him aware of the cultural and racial biases he made his life's mission to correct.

In 1846 Hester Hankins married Amos Galloway, one of John Wesley Galloway's slaves. Abraham Galloway later recalled that his biological father “recognized me as his son and protected me as far as he was allowed so to do” (Still, 150), but John Wesley Galloway did not own Abraham. Abraham's owner was Marsden Milton Hankins a wealthy railroad mechanic from nearby Wilmington who may also have owned Hester Hankins Abraham considered Marsden Hankins a fair master but he was less forgiving of Hankins s wife who was overly fond of the whip Abraham apprenticed as a brick mason and as was common ...

Against metrics: how measuring performance by numbers backfires

Source: Hacker News

Article note: Yup Yup Yup. I become more and more convinced that bureaucratization is the limiting factor of societies. Goodhart's law ("When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure") guarantees that we can't effectively measure, and thus Pournelle's iron law of bureaucracy ("In any bureaucracy, the people devoted to the benefit of the bureaucracy itself always get in control and those dedicated to the goals the bureaucracy is supposed to accomplish have less and less influence, and sometimes are eliminated entirely.") takes over, and now you have a giant overhead machine that occupies all available resources. It's the "mythical man month" problem at maximum generality and scale.

"I'm all packed up!"

- Sputnik driver, happy to be helpful to the Soviet State

Tactical AnalysisEdit

  • I claim this ground in the name of the Union!: Sputniks serve as the Soviet's expansion vehicle. These vehicles can deploy into small outposts that provide ground control and allow for the construction of buildings.
  • Just like a turtle: Apart from a slight physical resemblance to turtles, which is due to the dome on their back, Sputniks also resemble turtles in the fact that they are amphibious. Unfortunately, unlike turtles they cannot retract into a protective shell if attacked and have no weapons to speak of.
  • Handy repair drone: Apart from providing ground control for the construction of buildings, Sputniks have recently been retrofitted with repair drones, which can repair buildings, including the Outpost itself.
  • I'm unarmed!: After a disastrous attempt to refit a Sputnik with combat drones for self defence resulted in the drones going haywire and attacking the Sputnik they were supposed to protect, Soviet High Command decided that it would be best if the Sputnik remains unarmed, especially since there isn't much room for a weapon, crammed as full of equipment as it is already.

WWIII Operational HistoryEdit

The Sputnik was the accidental brain-child of Sergei Korolyov, the so-called "Father of Space Technology". He designed the Sputnik 1 space probe, the first satellite in space, and the metaphorical pistol that started off the Space Race. Launching it on October 4, 1953, it was an immediate sign of Soviet will, and Korolyov shortly sent off Sputnik 2, an ungainly probe designed to carry the Russian war bear Laika into orbit. This too was a success, and in 1955 the third of the Sputnik series was launched, a bold attempt to build a base-making probe from orbit. It was thought by all that this would be yet another success - if a bear could be successfully put in space, why not a base-maker?

Unfortunately, it was a failure. Due to mistaken calculations, the probe, packed to the seams with equipment and redundant versions of the equipment, was unable to breach the atmosphere, and instead almost reached it before falling to earth......and straight into the camp of one Slannimir Slaveli. Slaveli was also a doctor working for the Ministry, but as a result of his daydreaming and fantastic stories of far away non-Soviet lands he was sent to the remoteness of Siberia near the Japanese-Soviet border - a far away place where there was thought little of interest or needed information could be found - in order to monitor events there. Slaveli had for months been patiently requesting extra monitoring supplies so he could report back on the Japanese presence there, but his requests were apparently ignored until one day he crawled out of his tent and discovered a probe buried in the snow, apparently full of supplies he could use for his outpost!

By the time the Soviets had found the probe's remains, Slaveli greeted them enthusiastically and told them everything about how he had converted the probe into a fully available outpost. The Japanese had long gone (having found him at the same time he found them, the two outposts had exchanged a round of sake and vodka while eagerly swapping stories of Soviet and Japanese technology), but the Soviets realized that the probe could be used for a slightly different purpose - setting up forward listening outposts for intelligence and forward bases. When World War 3 started, these probe designs were given a small set of wheels, and sent out to wherever the Soviets felt needed a good look-see. The pilots chosen to drive these simple but essential compact bases were from the Ministry's lower employees, young scientists and less-intelligent members who were eager to explore new lands and see the interesting parts of the world, all while transmitting vital information to the Soviet cause. To this end, they remain cheerful, somewhat naive, and entirely too friendly for their own good - recent surveys indicate that 90% of the vodka non-Soviet soldiers get come from bored, homesick, or sociable Sputnik drivers who are willing to exchange drinks for stories of far-off places or just a chat.

Post War Operational HistoryEdit

Recent events have seen Sputnik drivers concerned about the sturdiness of their little machines and outposts, especially since many outposts deployed are starting to see increased hostile activity again after the war. In addition to increasing the armour of the unarmed Sputniks, it was again Slaveli who came up with a solution to the problem: after mysterious robotic drones attacked his outpost, he took the amazing amount of redundant equipment packed in the probe and quickly made simple drones to clean up the mess and fix his Outpost. All Sputniks have therefore been retrofitted with a number of repair drones that serve to repair the Sputnik and surrounding buildings, and can also play out miniature battles for the driver when on a slow day.

In the meantime, the Sputnik has been phased out of production, in part due to the increased obsolescence of the materials and designs and the resultant use of materials in making the mobile outposts. Since then, they have largely been replaced with the Laika Drone series of models.

Things to keep in mind while designing User Interface

Hi Guys!

This is my first post so not writing anything too heavy!!!

So, we are going to see things to follow while designing webpages.

Basically the website we design need to be user friendly and easy to understand to any kind of user.
Today i am writing only about Sign Up.

On the Opening of the site that is home page of the site, try to make the sign up button more effective and more attention grabbing. Try to write FREE in bold so that gets the user attention easily. Once the user clicks on it he is all yours.

While designing a Sign Up page for any kind of site, you must keep it as simple as you can to get more customers.
On the sign Up page don’t ask the user too much of information for logging in.
keep minimum questions like

First Name,
Last Name,
& Password.

Once the User is logged in then you can ask him to update his profile with the remaining questions you want to ask.

Thanks for reading…. 🙂

Raspberry Pi based Content Delivery Platform

The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card-sized single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of promoting the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The Raspberry Pi has a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor (The firmware includes a number of “Turbo” modes so that the user can attempt overclocking, up to 1 GHz, without affecting the warranty),VideoCore IV GPU, and was originally shipped with 256 megabytes of RAM, later upgraded to 512MB. It does not include a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, but uses an SD card for booting and long-term storage. The Foundation’s goal is to offer two versions, priced at US$25 and US$35

Content Delivery Solution

Lets see how a Raspberry pi based content delivery solution can be developed for educational institutes or anyone who needs it. Educational institutes have primary objective to enable learning through various interactive programmable delivery of content. The setup can be installed in lounge areas or even in school classrooms. Content can be customized as per need and pre-added to a batch file based application that functions like a jukebox that open the YouTube video link using the default internet browser. Making the content delivery changes will be a custom requirement and can be remotely administered. The prototype application can be administered by modifying the configuration files that directly download content from LAN or any other source.

How can it be done ? – The Technology

FreeBSD  installed on the sd card and Apache based web application for each school/university as per need. Once device is started it boot the OS and start the web app on display with default player.

What Application?

Custom prototype application initially can be installed for demonstration that will play the YouTube demo videos.

Keyboard Tab Key Access and Applying CSS3 styles For list items in ie8

We can provide Tab key access for list items in IE8  browsers by either using an overlay button and giving tabindex or by applying tab-index as zero .

For applying css3 styles and use the list item as a button ,this overlay concept will serve.

For example

<input class=”rollover_scenario_btn” type=”button” tabindex=”1″ >
the example above can serve css3 styles and tab key access.

Agile Process for Web Applications Development

Developing agile enables rapid application development if all requirements are understood and documented before starting for the web application development project. Hence to reach an agile-able state there are a lots of prerequisites that need to understood and documented before the Agile sprint can be started:

Here is a process diagram that can be implemented to enable the rapid application development.

As you see that there are input documents for each phase of software development. Before the project starts most important being the Requirement Analysis. Requirement analysis accurately documents all necessary features in details and functionality desired. In web applications this is not enough because additionally a visual design is necessary to create how the app will actually be used by end user. The mock-up of all the pages and visual design gives a clear flow of the app.

Based on the visual design and requirements documentation its now possible to create a Product Test Plan. This test plan is actually used by the Tester/QA to start with Test Case development. As shown the Tester/QA engineer develops the Use Case document so all Test scenarios can be developed. All these documents are input documents for Detailed Technical Design document.

A detailed technical document is then reviewed and approved by all stakeholders. An Agile Scrum master is now ready to take this forward since all the detailed technical design and the tasks can be identified. Scrum Master then proceeds with a 10 day sprint cycle and delivers a demo at end of each sprint.

How to Insert dynamic data using Node.js, Express.js, Angular.js and MongoDB?

First, we have to install and configure NodeJS and mongoDB.
Installing NodeJs on windows:
Install it from :
Confirm that Node is running correctly:
Here are some steps to make sure that Node is running correctly.
⦁    Create helloNode.js file
var http=require(‘htttp’);
res.end(“Hello world”);
console.log(‘server is running on port:3000’);
⦁    Run it through command prompt.
 F:\sonika\config\node helloNode.js
        server is running on port:3000
⦁    Open browser and type URL: http://localhost:3000/
⦁    The output will be:
Hello world
⦁    Now,your node is running correctly.
Configuring  MongoDB :
⦁    Download zip file  from this link:
⦁    Unzip it and Put it in particular directory.
⦁    Create ‘data\db’ folders in that directory to store our data(we can give any name to that folder).
⦁    Go to that directory’s lib folder and run it  for that go through following command.
⦁    F:\Sonika\All Data\software\mongodb\bin>mongod.exe  –dbpath  F:\Sonika\All     Data\software\mongodb\data\db
⦁    Press ‘Enter’.

⦁ It will look like this,

⦁    Now,your MongoDB is ready to store data.
Now, lets develop an Student Registration form sample application
For that, we have to follow some steps:-
⦁    Create directory structure.

⦁    Create package.json file.
This text file contains all the information about the project,
like project path,dependencies, author name, tags, bug tracking info  etc..
To create a package.json run npm init command from the root folder.
It will ask series of questions and finally
it will create package.json file.
Our package.json file will look like this.

⦁    Create ‘index.html’ file.
This html file will create UI that have two manus “HOME”  and “ADD DETAILS”.
⦁    Create ‘add.html’ file.
    Note: Don’t write  and  tag in ‘add.html’ and ‘Home.html’ files
because, these files are partialy render inside <ng-view> tag that defined

in index.html file.
⦁    Create’ Home.html’ file.

Welcome !

Exam Registration Site!

⦁    Create ‘styles.css’ file.
This file describe code to design UI.
    Create  ‘appModule.js’  file.
Angular follow MVC pattern that is Model,View,Controller.
This is a Model part of our application that will describe business logic.Our model           name is “myapp” that is already define in index.html file.
If we changed model part then View part will definatly reflect.
‘use strict’;
angular.module(‘myapp’, []).
config([‘$routeProvider’, ‘$locationProvider’,

function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.when(‘/add’, {templateUrl: ‘partials/add.html’, controller: AppCtrl});
$routeProvider.when(‘/home’, {templateUrl: ‘partials/Home.html’});
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: ‘/’});

⦁    Create ‘controllers.js’ file
This is our controller part that will manage flow of executation.
In this file, we described controller “AppCtrl” that is already define in  ‘index.html’ file.
‘use strict’;
function AppCtrl($scope,$http,$location) {
$scope.form = {};
alert(‘Thank you…!’);

AppCtrl.$inject = [‘$scope’,’$http’,’$location’];  //here we inject dependancies

⦁    Create ‘CRUDOper.js’ file.
In this file we described all database configuration like server,database name,

collection name  as well as logic of insertion of data into mongoDB.
⦁    Create ‘app.js’ file.
This file described configuration of express server as well as create instance of

directories that we will use further in our Application and serve static file      i.e“index.html”.
⦁    Now,our Application is ready.
⦁    To run our Application.First we have to run “package.json” file.
⦁    when we will run this file through command prompt then all dependancies and packages  that are describe in “package.json” file will install and that all required to run our application.
⦁    Now,open command prompt and go in root directory of Application i.e  ‘AngularJsApp’.
⦁    Run F:\sonika\Data\AngularJsApp> npm install
⦁    Now, run  ‘app.js’ file to start our express server.
⦁    Run command ‘node app.js’
⦁    Open browser and type URL: http://localhost:3000/
If we click on  ‘Home’ then ‘Home.html’ will render.
If we click on ‘ADD DETAILS’ then ‘add.html’ file will render.
Fill out information in the form and submit to check if application is working fine.
To check our filled data  in MongoDB we have to follow some steps:
⦁    Open second command prompt.
⦁    Go in lib directory of MongoDB and run ‘mongo.exe’.
⦁    mongo.exe will open.
⦁    Type  ‘show databases’  then we will see our database name  ‘studb’.
⦁    Type  ‘use studb’  that is it will use our database to perform operations.
⦁    Type show collections then it will show  our collections name that is ‘students’.
⦁    To see our filled data type  ‘db.students.find()’ .
⦁    Note: Our database name ‘studb’ and collection name ‘students’  are already define in   ‘CRUDOper.js’  file.
⦁    It will look like this,

Silverlight Framework for Windows Phone 8

New Windows Phone 8

(I have downloaded the above image from, if anybody has issue with it please mail me to

Hello again people. Lets discuss how Silverlight helps us in development in the Windows Phone apps.

Basically I will tell you what exactly is Silverlight and for what is it used for.

  1. Silverlight is cross browser, cross platform implementation of .Net framework that helps in the developing and designing of the applications.
  2. Silverlight helps in designing rich user interface and Rich Interactive Applications(RIA) for web, desktops and now for Windows Phone too.
  3. Silverlight uses Application Extensible Markup Language (XAML) for ease of UI development. It helps in designing of UI controls like buttons, controls, layout, graphics  while using managed code or dynamic languages for application logic.
  4. WPF and XAML. Silverlight includes a subset of the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, which greatly extends the elements in the browser for creating UI. Silverlight lets you create immersive graphics, animation, media, and other rich client features, extending browser-based UI beyond what is available with HTML alone. XAML provides a declarative markup syntax for creating elements. For more information, see Layout, Input, and PrintingGraphics, Animation, and Media, and Controls.
  5. The Windows Phone OS is the one which is mainly designed for the touch firs wet citizen interactive with the user. So as a developer you need to really take good care of the UI designs.
  6. For the integration on this UI designs we make extensive use of Silverlight.

This is why we make use of Silverlight in Windows Phone platform.

As we proceed in that I will show you how we use Silverlight or make use of Silverlight in the Windows Phone application.

Take care and have good health :)

Everything you need to know about affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is a referral program where sites pay commissions to affiliates who send traffic to their site that results in a sale.

In our case, eBay’s partners send their users to shop the eBay global marketplace. A percentage of those users will likely buy something after being referred to our site. And, once they do, our partner gets credit for that sale.

What is an affiliate network?

An affiliate network serves as the intermediary between traffic partners (affiliates) and commerce sites. Unlike many other retailer affiliate programs, eBay manages its own affiliate network, giving us the unique ability to provide partners with the tools, reports, and resources they need to succeed.

A Brief History of Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the earliest forms of performance-based online marketing. In the 90s, at the dawn of the modern Internet, organizations and individuals began creating websites and content. Once search engines made it easier to find and navigate this content, marketing changed forever.

As the world spent more of its time and money online, marketers invented ways to leverage this communication channel, and opportunities for partnerships between website owners began. Content creators developed new ways to monetize their sites, including how to get paid for the exposure they gave merchants in the form of site visitors. Merchants learned how to reach new audiences, but also to pay content creators only when their exposure turned into actual sales.

Online advertising also changed during this time, shifting from businesses paying for a fixed number of ad impressions to models that emphasized higher quality, measurable results.

Each of these events led to the modern state of affiliate marketing.

How do affiliates earn money?

Affiliates can be compensated in many ways from commissions on the sale of goods and flat fees paid for the completion of a form, to bonuses paid on the types of visitors you send. Each partnership is different in terms of payout structure and rates (See our rate card).

How does affiliate tracking work?

To track the activity and effectiveness of affiliate marketing, you need two things: an affiliate link and a cookie.

When you promote or send traffic to eBay, you’ll use an affiliate link. An affiliate link includes a unique ID that we call a campaign ID. When someone clicks on your affiliate link, the Campaign ID gets stored in a browser cookie on that user’s computer or mobile device. The cookie contains several pieces of information to help us track their eBay shopping activity after they click your link.

Learn more about cookies and tracking

Affiliate models

The evolution of the Internet created opportunities for a range of different affiliate partners, from individuals with a Facebook account or blog, to content review sites, deal aggregators, and app developers. As people continue to invent new ways to refer traffic to merchants, new models will surface, but here is a quick list of the current affiliate models that are popular, summarizing the primary promotional method.

Affiliate models

Content (Blogging)

These publishers create valuable, unique content that is of interest to its visitors. Content sites include news and op-ed outlets, blogs, influencers, and review sites.

Deal & Coupon

These publishers aggregate and provide their visitors with coupons or deals on a merchant’s site.

Email Marketing

These publishers send emails including deals, promotions, and products in which they think their customers might be interested.

Loyalty & Rewards

These publishers provide either purchase rewards or incentives in the form of points, miles, cash back, or charitable contributions.

Online Comparison Shopping (OCS)

These publishers aggregate product information from multiple retailers to enable customers to compare multiple products based on price, reviews, and features.

Product Listing Ads

These ads display more detailed information than standard text-based ads to encourage users to visit your website. They are also referred to as shopping ads and appear on various Google properties.

Social Sharing

These publishers are typically one individual, or a group of individuals, that monetize their sphere of influence.

Tools & Mobile App

These publishers enhance or simplify the online shopping experience through browser extensions, downloadable software, and mobile applications. Many could also be considered loyalty & reward publishers.

Highs and Lows · Thoughts on thursday

This is just a quick post asking for help!!! As I was writing my award blog I kept looking at the list of blogs I was following thinking am sure there should be more… At first I thought it was because i had hit the follow via twitter on a couple but that didn’t explain where so many of your were. Then today I hit follow on a new blog and it drops down about this new reader bit to manage your blogs so I click it.  And there you all are but instead of being set to send me updated you are all set at never for email messages…I did not set this nor can I find a way to choose to set it differently.  So if anyone knows how to alter this please let me know.  And if it seems like I havent stopped by your blog since following you now know why I will catch up eventually I promise…

3 thoughts on “S O S

  1. This is new to me too. Wish I could help, but it looks like I’ll have to keep checking back to see the solution. Could it be that those particular followers have set it that way?

    1. not sure I might have thought so if it only affected afew but has been the same on a couple of others i visited today aswell so looks like a trip to reader every time I hit follow lol

  2. I just checked and figured we are facing the same problem. If I ain’t mistaken, when you hit the follow on the top it sends it to the reader. You would have to hit the follow on the email subscriptions on their page for the same. And then it would be listed amongst the other blogs you follow 🙂 Hope this helps! 🙂

Let me know your thoughts.......

For years the StopHs2 campaign has pretended that it’s not really just a bunch of nimbys who live along the route, it’s really a national campaign of concerned citizens (-honest, guv). We’ve been expected to turn a blind eye to the fact that there’s not a single StopHs2 “action” group anywhere – except for those on the route.

It was never going to wash and now the Stophs2 campaign’s latest attempt at a petition has provided the evidence in cold, hard numbers.

The poll in question wants to see the Hs2 budget diverted to flood defences. Now, you might expect the people who are calling for this to be living in flood affected areas. Not a bit of it. The beauty of the new Government petitions page is that it supplies a map of all the UK parliamentary constituencies with the individual petition scores for each one.

Here’s a copy of the results along the Hs2 route from London to just South of Birmingham.

Chiltern nimby nos 10.1.16.

Isn’t it a remarkable co-incidence that the folks who most want to see Hs2 money spent on flood barriers live on the Hs2 route and away from any flooding?

Here’s another map, this time covering the flood hit areas of Lancashire and Yorkshire.

nw nimbys 10.1.16

The two areas with the highest number of signatories just ‘happen’ to be on the Hs2 route. In contrast, the Calderdale constituency (one of the most badly hit by floods) has flooded the petition with a massive 3 votes…

I predicted that this petition would backfire on Hs2 anti’s as it would expose how little support they had. In fact, it’s done more by exposing that the Chilterns are by far the biggest group in the Stophs2 campaign, dwarfing all others. It’s also revealed that some of the Phase 2 anti Hs2 groups are far, far weaker in comparison. Much of the phase 2 route doesn’t even show up as the number signing the petition are no greater than the surrounding areas!

14th January update.

Here’s an updated map showing the position now their petition has hit 6165 signatures (with their average dropping by the day now).

Nimbys 14 jan 16

Here’s another chart that puts those 6165 votes into perspective. 2888 come from a mere 16 out of 650 constituencies, and guess what – they’re all on the Hs2 route!

Flood poll stats 14 jan

So, 46.85% of the entire votes cast come from those 16 constituencies! If you added all the others that Hs2 touches what’s the bet that the figure will be way over half? There is another interesting tale the petition tells too – which is how weak the Stophs2 campaign is away from the Chilterns & Phase 1. Look at the numbers in areas like Staffordshire or Mid Cheshire, they’re tiny.

This is why the flood defences vs Hs2 petition does nothing but shoot the anti Hs2 campaign in the foot. The numbers don’t lie – even if they do…

UPDATE (24th January)

Now that this petition is clearly failing (the past week has seen signatures down into double figures with the running total standing at 6848) I thought it would be interesting to update the phase 1 map.

Nimby map 24.1.16.

This shows that most of the votes are still centred on the Hs2 route. Only one constituency out of 650 has more than 1000 signatures. It’s that one well known for flooding. err – Amersham & Chesham? The proof that the core of the Stophs2 campaign is Chiltern Nimby based is incontrovertible and it’s been supplied by the Stophs2 campaign itself – as has the evidence of how weak they are on phase 2 of Hs2. Remember these numbers have been reached after the stophs2 campaign (and its individual supporters) have been frantically puffing the petition across all their websites & social media outlets – yet this is the best they can do…

UPDATE 2 (10th February).

I thought it would be interesting to have another quick crunch of the numbers on this petition, so here they are. The total now stands at 7445 votes – a miserable failure. The petition itself is of no interest – but who signed from where is.

48.35% of signatures come from just 16 out of the 650 constituencies. All those 16 are on the Hs2 route! Only one has more than 1000 signatures – the anti Hs2 nimby stronghold of Chesham & Amersham with 1219! (16.37%). Here’s the full 16.

Hs2 floods

This blows apart various anti hs2 claims. One is that they’re a national campaign – it’s clear the vast majority of their support is not only route based but is concentrated on the Phase 1 route in the Chilterns. The other observation is that the anti Hs2 campaign has very little support along the phase 2 routes to Manchester & Leeds. These figures make depressing reading for antis as they show that once Phase 1 goes ahead, the anti Hs2 campaign will collapse as the two campaigning groups (Stophs2 & Hs2aa) are run  by (and mostly funded from) phase 1 residents.

New Recording coming soon...

I just learned that a two-CD set of music by Larry Thomas Bell will be coming out on Albany records before Christmas 2011. The release includes a number of works which either feature or include harpsichord (played by yours truly). The CD title "In a Garden of Dreamers" is from Bell's song cycle which makes up a good part of the recording.

I'll be posting more information once the CDs come out.

I love the fingerprints on this one, it's so funny to think how limited things were in the days before computers.

It also makes me appreciate how supportive that the editors were, allowing a teenager to publish his scribblings like this, it was really good of them.

I know this writing is very basic, but the funny thing is, I still love my crime and thrillers just like this, I've just moved on to Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben these days.

Javee Mocon says Gilas call-up ' a blessing'

JOINING Gilas Pilipinas is best described by Javee Mocon in just a single phrase.

The Rain or Shine wingman was quick to respond to the invitation extended on him to join the national team pool currently training for the coming FIBA Asia Cup qualifiers.

On the dot on Tuesday, Mocon showed up at the Meralco gym and joined 18 other players vying to make the final 12-man roster of coach Mark Dickel.

Mocon said the call up was made Monday by team manager Gabby Cui, and without hesitation, he readily said yes to the invitation.

"Team Pilipinas yan, and I will never say no. Kahit anong araw," said the incoming sophomore forward.
Sponsored content:

It's a privilege na ma-consider," he added.

Mocon is the new face added to the Gilas pool that is in the midst of its preparation for the first window of the qualifiers that begins next week.

Phoenix big man Justine Chua just came on board over the weekend, while the Alaska duo of Vic Manuel and Abu Tratter are likewise coming over, although the two still didn't show up in practice as the Aces are currently on a team building.

The new additions are expected to ease the impact brought about by the pullout of big men Christian Standhardinger, Japeth Aguilar, and Mac Belo, along with gunner Matthew Wright, who was the latest to beg off from suiting up for the national squad.

In his first stint with Gilas, Mocon is thrilled just by playing alongside this pool of talent.

"It's a blessing in itself, kahit nasa pool pa lang ako," said Mocon, who had a solid rookie season with the Elasto Painters.

In attendance at practice along with Mocon were Roger Pogoy, Troy Rosario, Chua, CJ Prez, Poy Erram, and team captain Kiefer Ravena.

The amateur side saw Thirdy Ravena, Isaac Go, Matt and Mike Nieto, Dave Ildefonso, Dwight Ramos, Juan and Javi Gomez de Liano, JD Tungcab, Rey Suerte and Allyn Bulanadi.

Marc Pingris also showed up didn't join the team in scrimmage owing to a hurting knee.
Justine Baltazar and Bobby Ray Parks are the only players part of the pool who have yet to show up in practice.

Gilas Pilipinas is hosting Thailand on Feb. 20 for the kickoff of the qualifiers. They travel to Indonesia next and play the host team on Feb. 23. (RG)

High Quality Pet Supplements

High Quality Pet Supplements For Your Furry Family Member

The high-quality pet supplement industry has quickly become a multi-billion dollar industry. This increase in production has brought a wide variety of supplements for the consumers and their pets’ specific needs. Unfortunately, this boom in business has also brought producers into the marketplace that are not of the highest quality. Without regulations on producers of these supplements, there is a higher need for the consumer awareness.

Being educated about the pet’s needs and the products available, is of the utmost importance, when providing healthy diets for the pets that are so important to families today. Here are some of the top recommended, high quality pet supplements that veterinarians are using and prescribing today:

1) Glucosamine: One of the most used supplements for pets, is glucosamine. Used in humans for arthritis, glucosamine is sold over the counter, also added to many pet foods, and works as an anti-inflammatory and boosts the pets’ joint health.

2) Probiotics: Just like in humans, pets’ gastrointestinal tract also contains flora necessary to the animal’s healthy digestive processes. There has also been some research into the effects of probiotics on increasing the immune systems.

3) Omega-3 Fatty Acids: just like in humans, this is an important nutrient to many systems in the body. These supplements have been found to support pets’ immune system, supports healthy coats, kidney health, and promotes good heart health.

4) Milk Thistle: used much like glucosamine, milk thistle is an herbal product, used as an anti-inflammatory, is also credited with interfering with the metabolism of toxic compounds in the liver of household animals.

5) Coenzyme Q10: also known as ubiquinone, in humans is used for treating many unrelated illnesses. In house pets, Coenzyme Q10 is used to primarily treat heart disease and age-related illnesses.

6) Azodyl: this supplement is a mixture of probiotics and prebiotics, used to support the growth of gastrointestinal bacteria. It is also used in the treatments of kidney issues in both dogs and cats.

7) Potassium Chloride: used in dogs and cats to increase the levels of potassium in the pet’s bloodstream in cases of chronic kidney failure.

8) L-Carnitine: an amino acid, this supplement is used in boosting the pets’ use of fat in the production of energy. Weight loss is generally the prescribed use for this supplement.

9) S-adenosyl methionine: SAMe is primarily used in house pets in the protection of the liver from damage of disease and toxins. Often used in combination with milk thistle, this supplement for the treatment of liver conditions, it has also been researched for its effects on arthritis.

In regards to pets that are prescribed food by their veterinarian, owners should be careful using high quality supplements. Prescribed foods often include many supplements, and added supplements could cause adverse effects. It is always recommended that a veterinarian’s advice be acquired before starting any high quality supplement program with pets.

Just like in humans, pets do not always get the nutrients they need from their food supplies. To promote good health, and treat any diagnosed conditions, often times added high quality pet supplements are necessary.

Lake Eyre –The Pelicans in Outback Australia

Australian Landscape Photography Coffee Table Book by Pete Dobre

Australia is a land of contrasts – in seasons, landscapes and wildlife which vary at different times in history. Lake Eyre is one of those amazing Outback places, especially when filled with water.

Normally Lake Eyre is dry and life on the surface appears to be dry also.  An amazing feature of remote Australia is the unpredictability, which we have accepted while blazing the bush trail for over two decades. There is always another surprise in the Outback.

This book of Australian Landscape Photography shows a very special unique and non explainable event that takes place in South Australia’s outback with stunning results.

Unblocking the road

Joanna Cherry is probably mostly right. Peter Wishart is dependably Pete Wishart.

My support for Joanna Cherry’s position is qualified for two principal reasons. The first is that it needs to be made clear that, while the Scottish Government should certainly prepare for a court battle, it must not be the Scottish Government which initiates court action. To support the claim that it is proceeding as it is entitled to, the Scottish Government must proceed as if it was so entitled. Why should the Scottish Government initiate court action to establish the Scottish Parliament’s authority to facilitate the exercise of Scotland’s right of self-determination if it is claimed that the Scottish Parliament already possesses this authority?

The purpose is not to establish either the right of self-determination or the Scottish Parliament’s competence but to assert these.

Consider the ‘optics’. Rather than seem to be trying to extract from the British government something they have the power to withhold how much better, and more honest, is it if the situation is presented as the British government trying to deny our democratic rights.

Also, I see no point whatever in asserting the right to have a pretend referendum. Suppose the court confirms that the Scottish Parliament has competence to facilitate a “consultative” referendum. That still leaves open the question of competence to facilitate the full and effective exercise of our sovereignty in deciding the constitutional status of our nation and choosing the form of government which best suits our needs. And isn’t that what we’re fighting for?

The Scottish Parliament has exclusive democratic legitimacy in Scotland. We cannot and must not settle for it having less than the powers which this entails.

Pete Wishart’s refrain is, as is customary, “Not yet!”. And his insistence on procrastination is as devoid of explanation or supporting argument as ever it was. He boldly asserts that losing a legal challenge would ” set the case for Indy back significantly”. But he doesn’t elaborate. Presumably, we are supposed to just take his word for it. We are not supposed to question his wisdom. Sorry, Pete! I question everything!

I ask the obvious and necessary questions. Where are we now? Where would we be should a court case be lost?

Where we are now is at a road-block in limbo. We are wholly committed to a process which crucially relies on the goodwill and good faith of the British political elite. So, a process which can never lead to a referendum and/or the restoration of Scotland’s independence. We are going nowhere. We have no possibility of going anywhere whilst committed to the Section 30 process. And there seems no way that this commitment can or will be abandoned.

Where will we be if the court doesn’t find in our favour? That very much depends on the precise nature of the action and of the court’s finding. But the worst-case scenario must be that the court upholds the British governments claim that the Scottish Parliament does not have competence to hold a constitutional referendum. (Note that it makes no difference whether this is in relation to a “consultative” or a full referendum. If one is ruled out, they both are. So why aim low?)

It might be argued that this makes us worse off because the British government now has court backing for its anti-democratic position. But all it really means is that the case goes to a higher court. Which is, at least, some kind of movement. And it is movement towards the highest court of all – the one presided over by the people of Scotland.

It is difficult to see how asserting the thing we are fighting for puts us in a worse position than not asserting it. The idea that independence will come if we just continue to accept the Union for long enough makes no sense whatever. There can be no momentum without movement. Right now, because of some bad choices, we are in a place where we have precious little room for movement. Either we remain stationary at the road-block in limbo, or we go drive on and defy the British government to try and stop us.

Janssen’s Darzalex approved in EU for newly-diagnosed multiple myeloma

Janssen’s Darzalex (daratumumab) has been approved in Europe as a combination therapy in newly-diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma.

The European Commission approved Darzalex combined with bortezomib, thalidomide and dexamethasone for patients with newly diagnosed disease (Vtd) who are eligible for autologous stem cell transplant.

The Johnson & Johnson unit is developing Darzalex in earlier stages of the disease after initial approvals in previously treated patients and in various other combinations.

Multiple myeloma is a competitive market – with this new use Janssen is taking on Celgene’s Revlimid (lenalidomide), which is commonly used in combination with chemotherapy in newly diagnosed patients.

This approval is based on results from part one of the phase 3 CASSIOPEIA study involving 1,085 newly diagnosed patients.

Results were published in The Lancet in June 2019 and were presented at last year’s American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting.

Findings from the first part of the trial showed that after consolidation, the stringent complete response (sCR) rate was significantly higher in the daratumumab-VTd arm (29%) compared to VTd alone (20%).

At a median follow-up of 18.8 months, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly improved in the daratumumab-VTd group compared to VTd alone, and the median PFS was not reached in either arm.

In the second part of the study, which is ongoing, patients who achieved a partial response or better in part one will undergo a second randomisation to receive maintenance treatment with Darzalex 16 mg/kg every eight weeks for up to two years or will be observed with no further treatment. The primary endpoint in this part of the study is PFS.

Daratumumab is the first biologic drug to target CD38, a surface protein that is highly expressed across multiple myeloma cells, regardless of disease stage.

It is thought to cause tumour cell death through several mechanisms of action, including engaging with the complement system and T-cells.

Additional studies are ongoing or planned to assess Darzalex in other malignant and pre-malignant haematologic diseases where CD38 is expressed, such as smouldering myeloma.
