+==== Issue ====
-Let's say we want to sort a series of numbers in descending order but keep the header at the top. For example, given
+barrons.com is giving the following error.
 <code>
-$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3"
+You have been blocked.
-value
-</code>
-we want to output
-<code>
-value
-</code>
-We can't directly use 'sort' since it will sort the header as well.
+Why?
-<code>
+Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our
-$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | sort
+attention.
-value
-</code>
-==== Bare bones solution ====
+There are various possible explanations for this:
-Create a script called 'body' with the following contents
+* You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than
-<code>
+  expected of a human being.
-#!/usr/bin/env bash
+* Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your
-#
+  computer.
-# body: apply expression to all but the first line.
+* There is a robot on the same network (IP WW.XX.YY.ZZ) as you.
-# Use multiple times in case the header spans more than one line.
-#
-# Example usage:
-# $ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | body sort
-#
-IFS= read -r header
-printf '%s\n' "$header"
-"$@"

-place it somewhere in your PATH (say ~/bin)
+==== Solution ====
-<code>
+Click on the extensions button in the top right
-mv body ~/bin
+-> Bypass Paywalls Clean -> settings button -> Options
-</code>
+-> scroll down to "BPC settings" section
+-> check "Barron's - no Googlebot (http error 500)" option
-This script will apply any unix command to all but the first line. For example, using it on our example
+-> Save
-<code>
-$ echo -e "value\n8\n2\n6\n3" | body sort
-value
-</code>
-==== practical solution ====
+==== System Information ====
-I got the above script from https://github.com/jeroenjanssens/dsutils/blob/master/body . The underlying repository (https://github.com/jeroenjanssens/dsutils) contains many such useful scripts (ex:- header - to add, replace, and delete header lines). A more practical approach is to clone the entire repository and add the repo location to your PATH.
