Well, I couldn't find a guide for precisely this on the Internet, securing your Shiny Server over SSL (with Apache), but I did find the following links which were very useful and which I only adapted slightly. Do have a read of the following if you're so inclined, they're both very useful, but neither told me exactly what to do. This guide is for Ubuntu but I imagine the configuration will work on any Apache server. You'll just need to figure out what the equivalent terminal commands are for whatever OS you're using. Even though the changes I've made to the config files were quite small I really knew nothing about Apache configuration at all so it's been a bit of a trial. I'll try to give a bit of explanation in case it helps you to know what you're actually doing and show the changes to the config files to make it all work. I will start with a disclaimer that I am just a dumb guy on the internet. I make no claims as to exactly how secure this is, whether it's possible to bypass it, any of that. If you're really interested in security and you don't know what you're doing I suggest you pay a security expert to help you. I am many things but a security expert is not one of them. I suppose I should say also that this might not even be the "correct" way to configure Apache. There are lots of different rules of thumb and general guidelines as to what goes where (it still works the other way, it's just a way of organising things and having a generalisable approach) and I've ignored some of them to make this simpler. I'm not a sysadmin so I've rather gone with what works rather than what the industry standard is. Again, if that bothers you you'd better pay someone cleverer than me to tell you. With all that said, let's begin. The principle of what you're doing is pretty simple. When you set up your Shiny Server you set it listening on port 3838, by default, or some other port. So now, when people go to, say, chrisbeeley.net:3838 Shiny hears them and delivers whatever it is they ask for. In the meantime Apache is listening on port 80. Every time someone points a web browser at chrisbeeley.net it hollers on port 80 and Apache hears it, and returns a web page. You don't want that. Shiny isn't secure over port 3838. What you want is a secure connection with Apache, that then forwards a request on to Shiny. What we're going to do is very simple. We're going to have Apache continue to listen on port 80. However, when someone does go to port 80 Apache will send them to 443, which is secure. Apache already serves my blog with WordPress on chrisbeeley.net/ and my website (which needs an update, I know *embarrassed emoji*) on chrisbeeley.net/website. We're going to have Apache proxy for Shiny Server whenever anyone goes to chrisbeeley.net/shinyapps. Whenever someone goes to /shinyapps, Apache will say to them "Oh, you want the other guy, sure". Apache then shouts over to Shiny Server (on port 3838/shinyapps) "Hey! Shiny Server! This guy wants some graphs and whatnot!". And Shiny Server hears, because they're listening on 3838/shinyapps, and shouts back "Sure! Here you go!". And back and forth they go as you click around the application. We're going to listen on port 3838/shinyapps, rather than just on plain 3838, because if you don't, the index page of apps you can optionally display when someone navigates to plain old 3838, instead of 3838/your-app-here doesn't work properly- all the links to applications are 3838/the-application rather than 3838/shinyapps/the-application. For all I know there's a better way of dealing with this problem, but this works fine and, as I already mentioned, I'm no sysadmin. The big difference here from one of the blog posts that helped me to do this is that in their case the whole Apache server was just proxying for Shiny Server. They weren't listening on port 80 for HTML, because they weren't serving HTML with Apache. Apache listened on all the ports. I use my server as a web server, so I can't do that. So, to summarise, we're going to have Apache listen on port 80. We're going to redirect all requests to port 80 to port 443 (HTTPS). And we're going to have Apache *proxy for (i.e. shout over to) the Shiny Server on this port. We'll close the 3838 port on the firewall. Shiny Server will still listen on this port, but nobody outside the server can get to it. Only Apache can, and they will shout instructions to Shiny Server on this port, receiving graphs and buttons back which they'll show to the user. That's Apache taken care of, and the proxying modules set up. Now you've done that the next job is to get an SSL certificate for your site. This used to be difficult and/ or cost money but now it is/ does neither thanks to the wonderful folks at let's encrypt. This site is incredibly easy to use, I won't bother telling you what to do, just shell into your server and follow the instructions. You will be asked if you wish to direct all HTTP to HTTPS. Given that Google Chrome is going to start giving warning messages for *all HTTP sites, not just ones with passwords/ credit cards, now is a good time to encrypt all your traffic (https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/avoid-not-secure-warn). Let's do that, the rest of this guide assumes that you do. If you used to have a Shiny Server that listened on port 3838 and so had that port open, you can now close it. Unless you only want to give your users the option to use HTTPS, and leave the HTTP there for those who want it. You can do that if you want, leave the port open. I won't go into the firewall stuff here because there are so many ways of configuring firewalls and if you press the wrong button you'll end up blocking ssh into your server and I don't want to be responsible for that. Now for the real magic. We're going to set up a Virtual host with Apache, on port 443, but only when someone goes to chrisbeeley.net/shinyapps (which, if they use HTTP, will be automagically redirected to HTTPS), which will then act as a proxy server for Shiny Server. And everything is back the way it started. Phew! There'll already be loads of stuff at the top about port 443. Leave that alone. It knows what it's doing. We're going to add some stuff at the bottom. As you can see, we route everything for /shinyapps to port 3838/shinyapps. You've done! All HTTP traffic is now routed to HTTPS. If it's /shinyapps, it goes to Shiny Server. If not, it goes to Apache for a normal web request. Well done, have a cup of tea to celebrate. Your saved few bucks for me – I can still stay with free version of shiny! Thanks for the help! I had been banging my head on this for a couple of weeks until I found your post. Worked right out of the box and is so simple!!

North Korea is dismantling nuclear site, but is this first step towards denuclearisation or Pyongyang's bid to hide evidence? Seoul: Satellite imagery shows North Korea dismantling facilities at its nuclear test site, but experts say the images can't reveal whether it is the first step towards full denuclearisation, or an attempt to cloak nuclear capabilities from outside observers. North Korea's intentions were thrown further into doubt on Wednesday, when it abruptly announced it may "reconsider" meeting with US President Donald Trump in June if the United States continues to insist on unilateral denuclearisation. Commercial satellite imagery — including photos taken by Planet Labs as recently as 14 May — show North Korea removing some structures around its nuclear test site at Punggye-ri, experts say. Among the facilities that appear to have been razed are an engineering office, as well as buildings housing the air compressor used to pump air into the tunnels where the bombs were detonated, said non-proliferation expert Frank Pabian. "This is entirely in keeping with the official North Korean news report that 'technical measures' associated with the shutdown were underway," Pabian said. North Korea has said it plans to use explosives to collapse the tunnels; "completely" block up the tunnel entrances; and remove observation facilities, research institutes and guard structures. A limited number of foreign media have been invited to view the ceremonial closure of the site, but so far no international inspectors, leading some experts to suspect that North Korea is seeking to hide details of its nuclear capabilities. In a statement on Wednesday, North Korea's first vice-minister of foreign affairs Kim Kye Gwan sharply criticised American officials — especially national security adviser John Bolton — for suggesting that Libya could be a template for denuclearising North Korea. Bolton has proposed Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un make a deal similar to the one that led to components of Libya's nuclear program being shipped to the United States in 2004. In 2011, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was captured and killed by rebel forces backed by a NATO air campaign. While the technical aspects of a North Korea deal could mirror some aspects of the Libya effort, Pyongyang has a much more advanced weapons programme and Gaddafi's fate is not encouraging, Andreas Persbo, the executive director of VERTIC, a London think tank that focuses on disarmament verification and implementation, said in a recent interview. "Libya is a horrible example to make out of that perspective because of course the North Koreans have their own teams advising Kim Jong-un on what this meant, and they will highlight the fact that this is not a good solution for North Korea," he said. North Korea appears instead to be proposing a longer-term general commitment to "denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula," which could take years even under the best circumstances, experts say. LaFoy said North Korea's actions so far are "not necessarily nefarious," but that it does raise some "red flags" about complete permanent denuclearisation. "That imagery tells us the site appears to be in the process of decommissioning," he said. "But, we can't yet tell if it is going to be closed for years or something that can ultimately be reversed in a few weeks or months," he added. 1North Korea is dismantling nuclear site, but is this first step towards denuclearisation or Pyongyang's bid to hide evidence?

NHL 2013-14: Rangers will hear softer tone from Vigneault than barking from Tortorella NEW YORK, N.Y. - The message from the New York Rangers bench might not be any different than in years past. The tone in which it is delivered most likely will be. Whether the softer approach new coach Alain Vigneault offers in comparison to the barking tones of deposed bench boss John Tortorella is what the Rangers need remains to be seen. Despite getting the club to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, Tortorella was somewhat surprisingly let go by general manager Glen Sather and replaced by the gentler-on-the-outside Vigneault, who was dismissed as coach of the Canucks after Vancouver was swept in the first round of the playoffs by San Jose. In an added twist, Tortorella got Vigneault's old job in Vancouver, while Vigneault took over for him in New York. Quite a trade indeed. "I believe the New York Rangers have been doing a lot of the right things for a lot of years," Vigneault said. "This is an Original Six team. This is a great franchise. There are some things I prefer done a certain way, and I'm going to tell the players. But as far as this being a drastic change, this organization is one of the best in the league. "There are little things here and there that need to be pushed in a certain direction. The atmosphere, the environment that I want to create—a professional, positive environment. I want the players to feel good about coming to the rink and trying to get better every day." Vigneault is the winningest coach in Canucks history, but after a seven-year run it was determined a different voice was needed in Vancouver—perhaps a harsher one than the one the more user-friendly Vigneault provided. Tortorella lasted only 4 1/2 seasons before his time with the Rangers ran out. Sather was quick to assert at Vigneault's introductory news conference that the Rangers needed a change in style. He spoke specifically about Tortorella's strong focus on defence and blocking shots—a philosophy that often led to New York's players being consistently banged up. Vigneault was given a five-year deal to lead the Rangers, edging out other candidates such as Mark Messier and longtime former Buffalo Sabres coach Lindy Ruff, who landed with the Dallas Stars. In 11 seasons as an NHL head coach with Montreal and Vancouver, the 52-year-old Vigneault is 422-288-35-61 in 806 games. "The style of play we like to play is outnumber the opposition aggressively so we can recover the puck, set the tone and go on the attack," Vigneault said. "As our players understand the different principles we're trying to put in place, then I think people will be able to pick up (the system)." The Rangers open at Phoenix on Oct. 3. Here are five things to keep an eye on with the Rangers this season: ROAD TRIP: Before the Rangers get into the thick of the new-look Eastern Conference, they will get a healthy dose of Western opponents as they open with a nine-game, 23-day road trip necessitated by extensive renovations at Madison Square Garden. New York will play at Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Jose, Anaheim and St. Louis before travelling to face Eastern foes Washington, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Detroit, which has been transferred from the West to the East. If New York can get off to a good start before finally playing at home on Oct. 28 against Montreal, it could bode well later in the season. STEPAN'S ABSENCE: The Rangers are dealing with the absence of restricted free agent centre Derek Stepan, who remains unsigned deep into training camp. The sides are believed to be about $600,000 apart on a two-year deal. Stepan is thought to be looking to get $7 million as the Rangers are holding to a $6.4 million offer. It is unknown if Stepan, who could be the club's top centre, will be signed before opening night. He will have to sign by Dec. 1 to be eligible to play. NEW FOES: While the Rangers will still face familiar rivals from their Atlantic Division days—the New Jersey Devils, the New York Islanders, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Pittsburgh Penguins—they will be joined in the newly formed Metropolitan Division by the Carolina Hurricanes, the Washington Capitals and the Columbus Blue Jackets, who were moved from the West. NASH AND RICHARDS: Brad Richards is still with the Rangers after his poorest NHL season. He avoided having his contract bought out, but he will need to show the kind of offence he featured during his glory days with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Nash had 21 goals and 21 assists in his lockout-shortened first season in New York. He struggled with a wrist injury and had only one post-season goal. INJURIES: The Rangers hope to have key forwards captain Ryan Callahan and Carl Hagelin back on the ice soon after both underwent shoulder surgery. They might not be cleared for contact before the season opener. However, leading defenceman Marc Staal said he feels good as he continues to come back from a serious eye injury.

Here's a bunch of frequently asked questions, that should hopefully answer your questions before you decide to ask something that has already been answered. The Skyrim Special Edition version can be found here. Q: Do I need to use the .esp? 1) You're modding wrong, you should never have that many mods installed. 2) If you absolutely must, you can use xEdit to merge minor mods together (such as this one, with, for example Beards and other similar mods). Q: Can I get permission to use your brows on a follower mod of my own? A: Please refer to the permissions section under and read carefully. But the short answer is yes. Q: Can you make eyebrows match hair color? A: They already do, if you have enabled the Brows.esp you'll have a wide range selection of eyebrows that comes in vanilla shade, darker shades and lighter shades (to match hair color). For one week, counting today I'm hosting a competition over at my Discord channel, to have the best Brows related screenshots featured on Brows as main pictures in the gallery. If you want to participate, head over to my Discord server for more information. Dear Hvergelmir Mod friends. Don't worry, 4.0 is also coming for legacy Skyrim, although I don't actively support legacy Skyrim any more. I hope to have a release ready very soon, stay tuned. May i have your permission to port your excellent mod to the Special Edition? It's for personal use only, of course. I appreciate you asking for permission, to port the mod to SE for personal use. Many people have however already done it for their own personal use and as long as it's just for you, I don't see any problem with it. I am releasing a proper release for SE within the next few weeks however. Looking forward to your conversion. Can I use this for Special Edition? If yes, how? Would love an SE port as well! Haven't found any brow mods for SE that look this good, and I'm no good at porting mods over to SE (tried, and failed miserably). Technically this works absolutely fine with SE, but I'm coming out with a new version soon. couldn't you just make an optional version as in add your designs in without replacing the vanilla as an option? No. These look significantly better than vanilla brows. anyone know why the eyebrows seem to clip/sink into the head closest to the nose area? im using the ningheim race, have the correct addon. Vampire maybe? after character creation its fine but after a couple hours this happens. I haven't noticed this with the Ningheim race female I've been playing. i was playing around with racemenu sliders and not sure what i did but its working fine now. I think its got something to do with the demoniac oily body/head that i replaced on the toon i made. I made a oily head cause it just looked stupid. i believe thats what caused the eyebrows to not line up on the face right. All good now. Good mod. Its staying permanantly. @ Hvergelmer... Anyone ever tell you that you look just like Braun Strowman from wwe wrestling? Holy [email protected]#%. Closest ive ever seen. Cool. I've heard that. I didn't know who that was until someone started mentioning it. And I'm honestly not a fan of that comparison. I look nothing like the guy. Didn't mean to offend you. I only mentioned it being he's one of my top 5 idols. And I noticed similarities. Hair, beard. Anyways, I apologise. No worries. I've just heard it way too many times (not on here though). To the point it started getting annoying. Really digging the look of the additional brows -- thanks for the mod!! u will either crash if u messed up the meshes, or get black face (which usually includes a crash) also if u dont resave the esp in the CK u can get a crash, and LOOT and if u use MO2 and/or Wrye Bash won't function properly, eg: loot will screw up load order if a mod is Form 43. Usually wrye bash will have a pop up when u open the mod in it to tell u it is old form. All my eyebrows are shiny/glossy. No idea why.

The H Line is a RapidRide bus route in Seattle, Washington, United States. It is operated by King County Metro and uses bus rapid transit features, including transit signal priority, exclusive lanes, and off-board fare payment at some stations.

Appearance or Education? More concern about the education and the soundness of citizens is required Clark Kent 20 / 23 6 Oct 5, 2015 #1 Some people think that large, impressive buildings are important for a city. Others believe that the money should be spent on improving school and hospital. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. Some people argue that the most important to be improved are school and social facility such as hospital rather than increase the number of amazing constructions. And I strongly agree that the government of a country should more concern about the education and the soundness of their citizens. Countries which have incredible edifices indicates that they are developing countries. The governments allocate much money to improve particular strength of their country, so they can be glorious at particular part. For example, Brazil, which has hosted The World Cup in 2014 do massive construction in every sport building, especially stadiums and another supporting building to facilitate his guests in order to reach the stadiums and build multifarious new hotels for the visitors. In addition, the government builds facility for the inhabitant and of course to help people more enjoy their life or even to attract tourist to visit the country. For instance, Dubai has built many top skyscrapers, one of them is The Burj Khalifa Tower. It is the highest building in the world, and Dubai built it to show his money power thanks to his source. This building attracts visitors to visit it because some people want to see how powerful this structure directly and also to ensure the investors that Dubai is the most advantageous place for invest their money due to his development. However, social facilities and schools should be the main focus of the government. To become a strong and powerful country, education and health of the inhabitant should be the primary concern by him. An increasing number of multi-storey building without the supported by health and education of the citizens left the country to become crippled, because it does not focus on the personal development of citizens. To illustrate, Brazil has built 12 amazing stadiums and spent more than US$ 14,6 Billion, in contrast to their education sector, there is a big hole in there where is the percentage of the inhabitant who illiterate stood at 88% in 2003 and decrease by now but the percentage still high. In addition, not only education which becomes a huge problem in Brazil, but also the health of the human being in there. According to the research, 83% Brazilians have a disease. I argue that Brazil is one of the country that has the highest crime rate, thanks to the imbalance between the construction of public facilities and football stadiums. In conclusion, increasing the number of amazing buildings are important, but in my opinion, school facility and hospital are more important than anything. ochio 13 / 10 5 - the most important (You need to add an object(noun) after the 'important' word) to be improved are school and social facilitypublic facilities , such as hospitals and schools , rather than increase the number of amazing constructions - And I strongly agree that the government of a countrya city(You should write a city instead of a country because in the first line you talk about a city) should more concern about . . . - Countries which have incredible edifices indicatesindicate that they are developing countries. - to improve particular strength of their country, so they can be glorious at particulardistinctive/specific part. - to facilitate hisits guests (Brazil is an inanimate subject) - the government builds facilityfacilities for the inhabitantinhabitants and of coursesurely to help people more enjoy their life or even to attract touristtourists to visit the country. - Dubai built it to show hisits money power (Dubai is an inanimate object). - Dubai is the most advantageous place for invest their money investing due to hisits development. - social facilities and schools should be the main focus of the government. - education and health of the inhabitantcitizens should be the primary concern by him. - Brazil is one of the countrycountries(must plural) Why is physical education important?

Making A Difference: Couple Opts For School Supplies Instead Of Wedding Gifts LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18)– Rather than towels and place settings, a soon-to-be-married Lexington couple is asking for school supplies. Brooke Powers is a former Lexington teacher who taught middle school in Lexington for 13 years and was even named one of the best in the country. She came up with the idea. This summer was her first in over a decade not shopping for school supplies. So, she started searching for teachers on social media and started shopping for them. It all quickly began to add up and that, combined with planning a wedding, she realized the need was far too great to fund on her own. So she turned to her fiance, the son of a teacher, with an unconventional idea. Instead of registering for things they could use but didn't necessarily need, they asked for school supplies for their wedding, so they could give them to teachers. The couple picked out four teachers, one from Lexington and three from the region. One, a high school teacher from Cincinnati, is asking for books after learning only six of her 160 students had ever truly owned a book of their own. "I told Kevin, I can't sleep 'til those 154 kids that have never owned a book get a book," said Powers. "We would love any and everybody's support in giving as many kids books and supplies as we can." Brooke and Kevin are set to be married on New Year's Eve.

AUA Summit - Moses Swick, MD (1900 – 1985) Moses Swick Moses Swick, MD (1900 – 1985) The rise of uroradiology pioneer Moses Swick, MD is one that moves through controversy and the anti-semitic attitudes of the early part of the 20th century. Born in New York City at the turn of the century, Moses Goldstein was the son of Lithuanian emigrants who had left imperial Russia for the United States in 1894. Records from the 1920 census indicate that his father, who was not a naturalized resident of the United States at the time, was self-employed as a butcher. In 1928, his father, Alter Goldstein, became an American citizen. He attended Columbia University from 1918 to 1922, where he received a bachelors of science degree and prepared for medical school. Medical schools at the time had quotas for Jewish students, and at some point during his time at Columbia, the younger Goldstein changed his name to Moses Swick. It is speculated that he underwent the name change to avoid being considered part of these quotas. He received his medical degree from Columbia Medical School in 1924, and continued post-graduate education in Germany at Hamburg University. Dr. Swick's early work in Germany would eventually pave the way for uroradiologic techniques such as intravenous pyelography. Contrast imaging of the genitourinary tract was, at the time, in the earliest of stages. Based on intravenous instillation of sodium iodide, X-rays taken of the urinary system produced distinct but faint images. At the same time, urologists were treating urinary tract infections with iodated compounds. Professors Arthur Binz and Leopold Lichtwitz, both in Berlin were synthesizing compounds, such as Selectan-Neutral, to treat infections. It was during these studies that Dr. Swick recognized the value of the iodated compounds for imaging the urinary tract. Swick worked to modify the structure of the compound, which at the time had proven side effects like vomiting, nausea and headache. He traveled to Berlin to work with Binz and Alexander von Lichtenberg to accomplish this goal. By replacing the methyl radical in the compound with a sodium acetate radical, Dr. Swick was able to lower the toxicity of the compound. He increased the solubility to allow for more iodine content. The result was Uroselectan. Injected intravenously, the material cleared the body through the urinary tract and allowed for distinct images as X-rays were taken. He published his work in 1929 but von Lichtenberg presented the material at local meetings, first in Munich of that year, and then at the annual meeting of the AUA in 1930. Swick was not given any due credit by his former supervisor for the momentous discovery. The discovery and development of Uroselectan ushered in a new era in urologic diagnostics. The excretory urogram, or intravenous pyelogram (IVP) allowed physicians to image stones, cysts and tumors with a reasonably non-toxic material. His achievements helped urge progress of numerous sub-specialty areas of urology including urologic oncology, pediatric urology and nephrolithiasis. Swick returned to New York prior to Nazi ascension in Germany. He spent his entire academic life at Mt. Sinai Medical Center. He continued to be shunned by the national and international community until Professor VF Marshall's investigation led to Swick being awarded the Valentine Medal of the New York Academy of Medicine in 1966 after "30 unkind years of heartache and oblivion." For his research contributions, Dr. Swick received the Citation for Distinguished and Exceptional Service from the City of New York in 1978 and a citation from the Society of Urology in 1984. He also received an honorary doctorate from the Free University of Berlin in 1975. The American Congressional Record regards Swick's work as one of the five major contributions of an individual to medicine. He retired in 1981 and died in 1985 as a result of complications from a septic gallbladder illness.

Our Wiki has really specific system. You can find here official info about Miner Wars 2081 project, but user made articles as well. To secure something like this, we have developed few of simple rules. On this page, you can read everything about them. On Main Page you can find several page lists separated by categories like Category:General Information, Category:Technology, Newest Official Pages or User Made Articles, or if you prefer page tree, at the end of Main Page you can find list of all official pages. Basic idea of our Miner Wars Wiki is to present the content about Miner Wars 2081 and let our fans to create their own. To separate which content is official and actually part of the game and what is user made content, we use official namespace and marks. Each official page is in Official namespace. Rights to move or create page in this namespace has only administrators. You can recognize which page is official simply by small official mark at the top of the page or by prefix "Official:" at the start of the page name. All these pages are also protected so anyone except administrator can't edit, delete or change it in any way. All content of this Wiki is completely public, but edit, create or move certain pages can only approved users. You can create account and discuss in any page, but for evolving content of our wiki, you need to be approved. For this, you just need to write e-mail on support@minerwars.com, where you put your MW Wiki username and your rights will be granted soon. There are no limitations for this. This measure we apply only because we want to let to evolve content of our Wiki only to users, which are true interested in. After all protected official pages and namespace, still we have several categories, which are not limited by any rights. To add your page to some category just put "[[Category:Category name]]" at the end of your page and it will appear in category page lists. If you do not add your page in some category, it will not appear in lists of category articles at the bottom of Main Page.

Lying in wait in a cove along the coast of Tortuga Island, the pirates impatiently await their next prey. After having exhausted their fortune in Nassau, where they had stopped for some rest and relaxation, they were forced to leave their hideaway and go back to sea to replenish their coffers. Although pirates are outlaws and brigands, the governors of many small Caribbean islands often allow them to find shelter in their ports in exchange for part of the stolen booty. From his observation post at the top of the mast, an eagle-eyed sailor scans the sea. "Ship ahoy!" Obeying the Captain's orders and relying only on their courage, the men nimbly hoist the sails and prepare to board. Although battles are sometimes bloody, most often they end with the enemy ship surrendering immediately. Pirates' reputations alone are enough to crush any attempt at resistance. The loyalty of sailors to the rich merchant who employs them doesn't count for much when they spy the pirates' emblem: the Jolly Rodger. Moreover, it is not rare for a captured crew to join the ranks of the pirates, hoping that they will be better treated, free and perhaps get rich. For, within this strange brotherhood of nobles, ex- convicts, beggars and fleeing slaves, all are equal. Each is entitled to his fair share of the gains. They live dangerously and most end up with a rope around their neck. But, in the meantime, everything seems worth the risk. So, too bad for those who resist: let them be thrown to the sharks!

Wow, it seems just like yesterday that I was opening the GolfPunk Clubhouse at the Rule in St Andrews with World Number 23 Bernd Wiesberger. The last week has flown by like the mini hurricanes that sabotaged play at the Open last week. I also heard that GolfPunk Editor Tim's tent (camping? In Scotland in Open week?!) got blown halfway to Dundee in the middle of the night! Meanwhile, I was safely tucked up in a nice warm bed, thank you very much! It's been a brilliant week for me. It was my first outing as the GolfPunk Golf Nurse and my job was to challenge the patrons to 'Nearest The Pin' and 'Longest Drive' competitions on the golf simulator (only got beat a couple of times all week!), and then generally have a great time dancing the night away. We had a lot of V.I.P visitors over the week including Scotland football captain Craig Brown, Olympic curler Eve Muirhead, lots of tour players including Open Champions Darren Clarke and Tom Lehman, plus the Scottish rugby stars Duncan Weir and Greg Laidlaw. They all came down to see us, enjoy a nice drink and a chat. When I wasn't at the Clubhouse I was up early and down to the golf course and, when I walked into the entrance at the 17th on the final day, I couldn't have been more excited. I'd already witnessed some incredible golf and, despite the fact that I've never been to an Open which has been so 'stop start' with all the weather delays (it was often difficult to remember quite what day it was!) – when the players got back out it was a veritable birdie fest, and by the time the leaderboard was set on Sunday night, it couldn't have been tighter. It was so amazing to see Paul Dunne at the very top of the leaderboard alongside Jason Day and Louis Oosthuizen and, of course, everyone was wondering if Paul could hack it if it came down to the wire. I guess we got our answer, but it was a wonderful week for the Irishman. When I headed out onto the course, 27 players were within five shots of the lead. As the day began to unfold, it seemed anyone of the 27 could win. The fact that we ended up with a three-way play off was no surprise, given how close and classy the leaderboard was. The fact that the play-off was between Marc Leishman, Zach Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen was more of a surprise. Many of the big names such as Jordan Spieth, Padraig Harrington, Jason Day and Sergio challenged at one stage or another, but couldn't force their way into the play off. By the time Zach Johnson was crowned Open Champion 2015, after a terrific performance on the last day, many of us could be forgiven for being a little snow bind. This was, seemingly, the Open that didn't want to end. It has ended, eventually!, and I personally can't wait for Troon 2016!! I have to say that the biggest thrill of the week, was meeting one of my heroes Tom Watson. It was sad to think it was his last Open as a competitor but, at the same time, the incredible outpouring of emotion and appreciation that encapsulated Tom on his walk up the 18th on Saturday was testament to the wonderful career he enjoyed, and the stunning moments he gave us. It is a moment that will stay with me and inspire me forever.

NC towns turn to bow hunting to control deer Posted on October 22, 2013 by southernipmcenter A growing number of communities around Charlotte are turning to bow hunters to thin the herds of deer that cause thousands of vehicle collisions a year. After decades of restoration, white-tailed deer have rebounded from a low of 10,000 statewide in 1900 to the estimated 1.1 million today. Their population growth has leveled off in many parts of the state – except in cities and suburbs, where hunting is typically banned and deer are spreading. Lovely to look at, deer are also prolific breeders, happy devourers of home landscaping, and they figured in 90 percent of the 20,181 animal-car collisions reported in North Carolina last year. The answer, dozens of communities have decided in recent years, is in judicious use of the bow and arrow. The silent, short-range weapons are safer within city limits than firearms but just as lethal to their targets. The foothills town of Elkin, in 2007, became the first to adopt an urban archery season authorized by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. For this coming season, Jan. 11 to Feb. 15, 44 towns and cities will allow bow hunting for deer. Among the latest additions is Huntersville, the only Mecklenburg County community to adopt the hunting season. Concord, Harrisburg, Indian Trail, Kannapolis, Troutman and Weddington are among the towns already enrolled. "One of the primary drivers for us is public safety, being suburban and with lots of open areas with high concentrations of deer," said Huntersville town manager Greg Ferguson. "We've had a number of deer-auto crashes, and some of those at high speeds." Mecklenburg County ranked 10th-highest statewide with 1,345 animal-vehicle collisions between 2010 and 2012, the N.C. Department of Transportation reports. Unlike some towns, Huntersville already allows bow hunting during the statewide deer season, which runs from early September through December. Ferguson said the town has heard no opposition to the add-on archery season. Troutman, on the northern end of Lake Norman and surrounded by woods, was also plagued by deer-car accidents. Three years after adding an archery season, police Chief Matthew Selves said, "I can just tell you we have less traffic accidents." Statewide, urban bow hunters killed 82 deer earlier this year, more than half of them does. The harvest by guns and other weapons took more than 167,000. If you wish to be a part of this, I would recommend you look at these upper parts for AR-15's and use them to get the max out of every shot you fire. "It's not so much the number of deer taken from a community, it's just reintroducing a predator – and that's the hunter," said Ramon Bell, past president of the 1,000-member N.C. Bowhunters Association. "That area that has become a sanctuary for deer no longer is." The bow hunters group offers certified, insured hunters to cull deer on private land, including gated communities and Duke University's research forest. Only one town has signed on, Bell said. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calls bowhunting to control deer populations cruel and ineffective. "It's not new and it doesn't work," said campaign specialist Ashley Byrne in New York. "Bowhunting is one of the cruelest forms of hunting." She said hunters sometimes trail their bleeding prey for hours. PETA argues that killing deer only leaves a void that others soon fill, and that communities wouldn't continue to offer the hunts if they worked. The group advises nonlethal methods of deer control, such as using repellants around landscaping. The Mecklenburg County parks department allows controlled deer hunts in the Latta Plantation, Cowans Ford and McDowell nature preserves to thin herds that over-graze native plants and can carry diseases. The hunts, in which only muzzle-loading rifles and shotguns are allowed because of their limited firing ranges, result in about 60 to 70 deer a year. The marquee urban-archery town is Elkin, 70 miles north of Charlotte. The rural town on the Yadkin River is surrounded by rolling forests. "We're blessed with deer, or cursed by them, you might say, depending on when the last time you hit a deer," said town manager Lloyd Payne. So many night-patrolling police cars collided with the animals that the town's insurance company urged Elkin to do something. Some residents didn't like the idea. At a town forum, they worried about the sight of wounded deer bounding through backyards. That hasn't happened, Payne said, but like most towns Elkin has placed strict limits on its archery. Hunting is allowed only on private land and with the owner's permission. Elkin's bow hunters took 45 deer in 2008 and have led the state for each urban archery season since then. Deer numbers appear to be down, Payne said, as are patrol car collisions. Tim Gestwicki, chief executive of the N.C. Wildlife Federation in Charlotte, called urban archery "a sign of the times that more and more municipalities will opt in as a management tool." The federation last month named Elkin its Municipal Conservationist of the Year.

Why aren't my font's loading? Why aren't my fonts loading? These should be Open Sans Regular, but they're coming in as Times New Roman. I had a look at your site and noticed that on your home page there are some console errors shown while on pages where fonts are loaded properly there are no errors, so it looks like something is failing on your home page. I'm not sure what though so I would like to have a closer look at your setup if you could provide me with support access to your site. Looks like the console is failing at ytRIL which seems to be part of the code for youtube embed, probably from YT plugin you are using. Can you try disabling it and any other plugins you have for youtube, clear your cache and then see if font is loading? I disabled it but still saw the issue. That's strange since our plugin doesn't touch fonts. It's likely an issue with your Google fonts. You're only loading "Montserrat" even though everywhere in your stylesheet, you're trying to reference "Open Sans." I just took the initiative and proceeded with some more testing in your site. I figured out that the plugin causing the font error was the Smart Slider 3. De-activating it, didn't vanish the errors Predrag mentioned, but your custom font was able to load. I'm going to notice my colleagues for a second pair of eyes here and keep you posted. On kellenberg.org/athletics, a slider is on the page, but the fonts are fine. So, I figured out what was causing it. There's an option on Smart Slider 3 to display text over the photos. Whenever that was enabled, it took over the font settings on the page. I don't think that the slider itself is disabling fonts, it looks like the slider is conflicting with another plugin you have and is used on home page, so it then throws an console error which breaks other scripts on site, including the one responsible for fonts. Could you try leaving Smart Slider active and then disabling other plugins one by one to see which one is causing the conflict? Is disabling my plugins the same as deactivating my plugins? And will I lose anything by doing this? And should I do this to the WPMU DEV plugins? Yes, disabling is same as deactivating, apologies for causing confusion here. Plugins and themes in most cases save their data in your database so after you deactivate and then reactivate them the settings are still there. I can't guarantee for plugins not developed by us but if they follow WordPress development rules they should be back to normal after reactivation. We're not familiar with any of our plugins causing such issues but it's possible some is not playing well with your slider so it's worth giving it a go.

Are you ready to find out what is your unique blueprint and how to care for it and nurture it? Are you ready to get to the root of your signs, symptoms and diagnosis? If you find some or all of these stories resonating with you or someone you really care about, and think its time to take charge of your body and your health, Functional Nutrition Counselling Services is your answer. I am here every step of the way, to hold your hand through the process and build that therapeutic partnership. Together, we will understand your bio-individuality and use time tested tools and frameworks and look towards root cause resolution. Just like there might be multiple signs, symptoms and diagnosis, there might likely be multiple root causes. This is probably why searching for that one magic pill is probably going to be a lost cause. Together we will work through the stages slowly, starting with removal of individual inflammatory foods, healing digestion from deep within through specific therapeutic foods and supplements, supporting immunity, addressing deficiencies and the root of those deficiencies, and even addressing how best to support sleep and your mind. The Functional approach will also help you personally to know what form of exercise is suited to you, as exercise is again something which is bio-individual. Whatever we plan therapeutically for you is custom designed and specially curated for you and nobody else. It is not a diet plan pulled off the internet, however healthy it might seem. Every step of the way, I will monitor and adapt based on how your body responds. I also respect your time and the fact that it might be difficult for you to travel to consult. All counselling services are available virtually, and you can book your appointments totally suitable to you, when your mind is free of responsibilities. I want you to do this for yourself, beyond anything else. Your health matters. Your body matters. Your mind matters. Your life matters. You matter! Ready for the next step? I work with anyone who takes that first step. If you take a step towards freedom and transformation, I'm there to walk 5 steps forward towards you and take your hand. I will work with you even if you feel that you have hit rock bottom. Trust me. I've been there myself. If I can change, so can you. I know you've got that spark within, the strength to move, and you understand that health can give you back your life and allow you to grow towards your true potential. Let's do this! Have you ever felt dejected, helpless or frustrated when your child's teacher tells you there are attention troubles? Have you found yourself in a vicious loop between illness, medication and tiredness in your child? I know as a mother, I will not accept something in my child as just the way it is. I want more. I want my child to be free of digestive difficulties that are stressful every morning. I want my child's immunity to be in a place where I feel that they are best supported, and this does not mean just giving that magic drink which promises it all! For my child I want to know that there is energy and not fatigue. There needs to be calmness and clarity, not tantrums and crying. Is tantrums more than just a bad day? Could it quite possibly be physiological? I know that I do not want to stand for feeling that my child just has some attention troubles. What if this too is physiological? World over, the statistics diagnosing our children with Autism, ADHD and more is positively frightening! Accepting this as a reality of now is not what I want to do. I want to change. I want to change the way we look at children's health. I want to change the numbers. I want to change the lives of children because I believe that it is possible! As another Mom, and as someone who believes that I want more for my child, and someone who firmly believes that I have the power to give more, my learning, research and practice has led me to make that difference in not just the life of my own child, but in the lives of children through my practice Now, I want all that and more for all our children. They deserve more and it is possible. This is also why I am hard at work with other Functional Practitioners across the globe, collaborating and researching more, to bring you the best possible Functional child care always. Functional Nutrition in children is just not about accepting that one magic drink and hoping that it accomplishes all that it promises. It is about doing the deep therapeutic work, between Practitioner and Parent, between the Practitioner and the child and between the Parent and the child. It is also about teaching a child the relationship they have with their own body and how they have the power to feel better in their own hands. Is it worth it to do the work now and create a space where a child understands and grows up knowing that they have this power in their own hands? It takes working in frameworks and we can do this together. If any of this touches you in a deep and sensitive place, and you too want more for your child, reach out to me at [email protected] or sign up to my mailing list for some child centric blogs.

Jastrzębie-Zdrój (tyska: Bad Königsdorff-Jastrzemb) är en stad i södra Polen, belägen i vojvodskapet Śląsk, endast en mil från tjeckiska gränsen. Staden är relativt ny – den uppbyggdes på 1960-talet för i huvudsak polska gruvarbetare – och är idag väldigt utsträckt och saknar egentligt centrum. Staden har 90 089 invånare (2016).

Author of New Book on Exorcism: 'The Devil Is Not an Invention' In his new book, Fabio Marchese Ragona recounts exorcisms carried out by recent popes, including Pius XII who performed one on Hitler from a distance, as well as the cases he has documented of possession in Medjugorje. Fabio Marchese Ragona (photo: Courtesy photo / Fabio Marchese Ragona) Edward Pentin Books October 15, 2020 ROME — Much has been written about exorcism and exorcists, but to what extent do cases of possession and exorcism occur in the Vatican? In his new book, translated as "My Name Is Satan — Stories of Exorcisms From the Vatican to Medjugorje,"(published in Italian) Italian journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona, who writes for the Italian daily newspaper Il Giornale, documents instances of exorcisms being performed in these places. In this recent interview with the Register, Ragona recounts exorcisms carried out by recent popes, including Pius XII who performed one on Hitler from a distance, as well as the cases he has documented of possession in Medjugorje. "The devil is not an invention of some marketing expert," Ragona says. "Evil really exists and is just around the corner." What motivated you to write this book? There are two reasons behind the birth of this book: on the one hand, the desire — arising from a dialogue with some exorcist priests — to shake consciences in the face of a phenomenon that is increasingly underestimated. Unfortunately, the devil in today's society is perceived in most cases only as a vestige of medieval times, a "bogeyman," almost an "Oogie Boogie" [a villainous bag of bugs in Tim Burton's 1993 animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas] that was used to terrorize the weakest. It is thanks to this widespread incredulity that the devil is able to gain more and more ground by creeping in slowly and without being noticed. On the other hand, this book was born because of a promise I made to an exorcist who, before dying, after having allowed me to witness an exorcism, told me: "When I am gone, you will have to make everything public, to give this important testimony too." And so was born My Name is Satan that collects testimonies and documents on important cases of exorcism. You mention a Mexican man, Angel V, whom Pope Francis prayed over in 2013. Do you know how he has recovered since then? Angel wrote to Francis after that meeting and, from the documents I collected, the Pope prayed for him again from the Vatican, albeit at a distance, at the same time as Angel was being exorcised in Morelia Cathedral. This happened twice, when it was midnight in Mexico. After Angel was subjected to other exorcisms, he is a little better but still not free. The exorcist priest who accompanies him received a message from the devil that Angel will be freed when the abortion law is changed in the country. The four demons are still in the body of the man, and they said that they will leave on the day of the Immaculate Conception, Dec. 8, but — Angel's spiritual father explained to me — we do not know which year. An interesting fact: when the Pope visited Mexico [in 2016] he was also in Morelia, where Angel lives, and on the flight back to Rome he "thundered" against abortion! What kind of cases, and how many of them, did you come across in the Vatican and in Medjugorje in your research? In Medjugorje, being a place of grace, the devil is often present to annoy us. In the book I collect important testimonies of demonic manifestations during the gatherings, with some possessed people who tried to attack the alleged visionaries. There are not many cases, but it happens that one can hear fierce roars and even cases of levitation. For the Vatican, in addition to this case followed "at a distance" by Pope Francis, I discovered that Cardinal [Ivan] Dias performed an exorcism in St. Peter's Square in 2012 inside the Swiss guardhouse. That day the devil had revealed himself during a Mass celebrated in the square by Benedict XVI. Due to his great charity, his way of living the liturgy, his respect for the rules, his rigor, the Pope emeritus always greatly annoyed the devil who during exorcisms often spoke badly of Joseph Ratzinger. There were other exorcisms performed a few years ago in the Vatican by the Albanian Cardinal Ernest Simoni. I also reveal new details of exorcisms performed by St. John Paul II and some exorcisms performed — at a distance — by Pius XII. There is no evidence that Benedict XVI has performed exorcisms. You cite two exorcisms that took place during the pontificate of Pius XII — could you briefly recount the seriousness of these cases and what happened afterwards? I have found archival documents with sworn testimonies of the people closest to Pius XII. In the book I recall Sister Pascalina Lehnert, the Pope's former governess, who revealed how much Pope Pacelli was doing everything he could to stop Hitler's madness and for this reason, in addition to praying, the nun said, the Holy Father also performed exorcisms on the Führer in his private chapel in the presence of the nuns. Some German cardinals and bishops were in fact convinced that Hitler was possessed, and then there is the testimony of Pius XII's nephew who revealed that in 1958, on the eve of the very important Italian political elections, the Pope performed exorcisms to ward off demonic action from affecting the outcome of the vote. Pacelli was obviously spiritually supporting the Christian Democrats and there was the "danger" of a communist victory. We know that already in 1949 Pius XII approved a decree of the then-Holy Office [now known as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith] that declared registering any form of support for the Communist Party was inadmissible, and that those who professed to believe the communist doctrine would be excommunicated. In the end the Christian Democrats won and Pius XII was clearly relieved. As for Hitler, unfortunately, we know how things went. What surprised you most about your discoveries? I was most surprised to discover that the devil can hide himself even in small things and that he can affect even consecrated people. In the book I tell the story of a case followed by Father Candido Amantini, the master of the great exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, who for a long time performed exorcisms on a possessed nun. And then many cases "next door" of very normal people who are often targeted because they get close to dangerous places or due to the envy of someone. And I was most surprised to see an exorcism: I saw with my own eyes that the devil had possessed a young man in his 30s. Suddenly he started to tremble, his voice became deep, polyphonic, as if several people were speaking at the same time. And when the exorcist asked: "How many of you are there?" The devil answered: "We are armies, you can't stop us, he's ours now." Suddenly the devil also began to complain about the presence of someone, a monk with a beard. After the repeated insistence of the priest, it was finally understood that during that exorcism Padre Pio was — apparently — also present, and was really troubling Satan. What conclusions do you draw from the cases you found? That unfortunately the devil is not an invention of some marketing expert: Evil really exists and is just around the corner. I have carried out a journalistic investigation for this very reason, to study the phenomenon and look at every single case with my own journalist's eyes. A small example: many people think that it is not a real diabolical possession but a mental illness. But how is it therefore possible that the possessed, during the trance phase, can read the minds of exorcists? Many priests, in order to understand if it is true possession, recite prayers in their minds without uttering a word. The possessed then begin to stir, to scream, to rage against the priest and say to him: "Stop praying!!!" How is this possible? It's incredible! And instead, unfortunately, it's all true!

Lisa Wolansky has her story. EDMONTON — She knew that if she had a good day, she'd have a successful race. On Saturday, Edmonton's Alissa St. Laurent muscled out a 125-kilometre run, beating every other solo runner. The victory made her the first woman to win the Canadian Death Race. "Being the first woman is great, but knowing that I had a great race is even better." "You just kind of want to take that time to silence everything and soak it in for a few minutes," said St. Laurent. "It's a pretty amazing feeling." The ultra marathon takes athletes through three mountain summits in Grande Cache, Alberta and over 17,000 feet of elevation changes. St. Laurent crossed the finish line at 13 hours and 53 minutes. That means, the 31-year-old was running an average of 10 kilometres every hour. "I'm very competitive and I know that, I'll admit that. But that's not my intention – to just beat anyone – but to run the best race that I can," she said. "At this point, I really just enjoy it for what it is and I just want to keep focused on that." She finished almost 90 minutes ahead of the top male racer – another Albertan – Graham Glennie of St. Albert. "I had done the preparation, the training was there for me. I knew that I could have a successful race if I had a good day," she said, "and I did." St. Laurent took the top spot less than one month after she set a course record during the Sinister 7 race in the Crowsnest Pass. During that event, she ran a 161-kilometre race in just over 18 hours. "I've gone into it pretty calm and really prepared… just in the right mindset, that it's something I can do." "It doesn't feel like work for me. It's a passion. I can't imagine not wanting to do this." Follow @Emily_Mertz Fine whines: Does complaining always work?

search: keywords: ['storage', 'paginated local storage', 'PLocal'] --- # PLocal Storage The Paginated Local Storage, "**plocal**" from now, is a disk based storage which works with data using page model. plocal storage consists of several components each of those components use disk data through **[disk cache](plocal-storage-disk-cache.md)**. Below is list of plocal storage components and short description of each of them: 1. **Clusters** are managed by 2 kinds of files: - **.pcl** files contain the cluster data - **.cpm** files contain the mapping between record's cluster position and real physical position 2. **Write Ahead (operation) Log ([WAL](Write-Ahead-Log.md))** are managed by 2 kinds of files: - **.wal** to store the log content - **.wmr** contains timing about synchronization operations between storage cache and disk system 3. **SBTree Index**, it uses files with extensions **.sbt**. 4. **Hash Index**, it uses files with extensions **.hit**, **.him** and **.hib**. 5. **Index Containers** to store values of single entries of not unique index (Index RID Set). It uses files with extension **.irs**. 6. **File mapping**, maps between file names and file ids (used internally). It's a single file with name: **name_id_map.cm**. ## File System Since PLOCAL is disk-based, all pages are flushed to physical files. You can specify any mounted partitions on your machine, backed by Disks, SSD, Flash Disks or DRAM. ## Cluster **Cluster** is logical piece of disk space where storage stores records data. Each cluster is split in pages. **Page** is a single atomic unit, which is used by cluster. Each page contains system information and records data. System information includes "magic number" and a crc32 check sum of the page content. This information is used to check storage integrity after a DB crash. To start an integrity check run command "check database" from console. Each cluster has 2 sub components: - data file, with extension .pcl - mapping between physical position of record in the data file and cluster position, with extension .cpm ### File System To speed up access to the most requested clusters it's recommended to use the cluster files to a SSD or any faster support than disk. To do that, move the files to the mounted partitions and create symbolic links to them on original path. OrientDB will follow symbolic links and will open cluster files everywhere are reachable. ### Cluster pointers The mapping between data file and physical position is managed with a list. Each entry in this list is a fixed size element, which is the pointer to the physical position of the record in the data file. Because the data file is paginated, this pointer will consist of 2 items: a page index (long value) and the position of the record inside the page (int value). Each record pointer consumes 12 bytes. ### Creation of new records in cluster When a new record is inserted, a pointer is added to the list. The index of this pointer is the cluster position. The list is an append only data structure, so if you add a new record its cluster position will be unique and will not be reused. ### Deletion of records in cluster When you delete a record, the page index and record position are set to -1. So the record pointer is transformed into a "tombstone". You can think of a record id like a **uuid**.. It is unique and never reused. Usually when you delete records you lose very small amount of disk space. This can be mitigated with a periodic "offline compaction", by performing a database export/import. During this process, cluster positions will be changed (tombstones will be ignored during export) and the lost space will be recovered. So during the import process, the cluster positions can change. #### Migration of RID The OrientDB import tool uses a manual hash index (by default the name is '___exportImportRIDMap') to map the old record ids to new record ids. ## Write Ahead (operation) Log (WAL) The [Write Ahead Log](Write-Ahead-Log.md) (or WAL) is used to restore storage data after a non-soft shutdown: - Hard kill of the OrientDB process - Crash/Failure of the Java Virtual Machine that runs OrientDB - Crash/Failure of the Operating System that is hosting OrientDB All the operations on **plocal** components are logged in WAL before they are performed. WAL is an append only data structure. You can think of it as a list of records which contain information about operations performed on storage components. ### WAL flush WAL content is flushed to the disk on these events: - every 1 second in background thread (flush interval can be changed in **storage.wal.commitTimeout** configuration property) - synchronously if the amount of RAM used by WAL exceeds 65Mb (can be changed in **storage.wal.cacheSize** configuration property). As result if OrientDB crashes, all data changes done during <=1 second interval before crash will be lost. This is a trade off between performance and durability. ### Put the WAL on a separate disk It's strongly recommended that WAL records are stored on a different disk than the disk used to store the DB content. In this way data I/O operations will not be interrupted by WAL I/O operations. This can be done by setting the **storage.wal.path** property to the folder where storage WAL files will be placed. ### How Indexes use WAL? Indexes can work with WAL in 2 modes: - **ROLLBACK_ONLY** (default mode) and - **FULL** In ROLLBACK_ONLY mode only the data needed to rollback transactions is stored. This means that WAL records can not be used to restore index content after a crash. In the case of a crash, the indexes will be rebuilt automatically. In FULL mode, indexes can be restored after DB crash without a rebuild. You can change index durability mode by setting the property **index.txMode**. You can find more details about WAL **[here](Write-Ahead-Log.md)**. ## File types PLocal stores data on the file system using different files, using the following extensions: - **.cpm**, contains the mapping between real physical positions and cluster positions. If you delete a record, the tombstone is placed here. Each tombstone consumes about 12 bytes. - **.pcl**, data file - **.sbt**, is index file - **.wal** and **.wmr**, are Journal Write Ahead (operation) Log files - **.cm**, is the mapping between file id and real file name (used internally) - **.irs**, is the RID set file for non-unique indexes ## How it works (Internal) Paginated storage is a 2-level disk cache that works together with the write ahead log. Every file is spit into pages, and each file operation is atomic at a page level. The 2-level disk cache allows: 1. Cache frequently accessed pages in memory. 2. Automatically separate pages which are rarely accessed from frequently accessed and rid off the first from cache memory. 3. Minimize amount of disk head seeks during data writes. 4. In case of low or middle write data load allows to mitigate pauses are needed to write data to the disk by flushing all changed or newly added pages to the disk in background thread. 5. Works together with WAL to make any set changes on single page look like atomic operation. 2-level cache itself consist of a **Read Cache** (implementation is based on 2Q cache algorithm) and a **Write cache* (implementation is based on WOW cache algorithm). Typical set of operations are needed to work with any file looks like following: 1. Open file using OReadWriteDiskCache#openFile operation and get id of open file. If the file does not exist it will be automatically created. The id of file is stored in a special meta data file and will always belong to the given file till it will be deleted. 2. Allocate new page OReadWriteDiskCache#allocateNewPage or load existing one ORreadWriteDiskCache#load into off-heap memory. 3. Retrieve pointer to the allocated area of off-heap memory OCacheEntry#getCachePointer(). 4. If you plan to change page data acquire a write lock, or a read lock if you read data and your single file page is shared across several data structures. Write lock must be acquired whether a single page is used between several data structures or not. The write lock is needed to prevent flushing inconsistent pages to the disk by the "data flush" thread of the write cache. OCachePointer#acquireExclusiveLock. 5. Update/read data in off heap memory. 6. Release write lock if needed. OCachePointer#releaseExclusiveLock. 7. Mark page as dirty if you changed page data. It will allow write cache to flush pages which are really changed OCacheEntry#markDirty. 8. Push record back to the disk cache: indicate to the cache that you will not use this page any more so it can be safely evicted from the memory to make room to other pages OReadWriteDiskCache#release. ### So what is going on underneath when we load and release pages? When we load page the Read Cache looks it in one of its two LRU lists. One list is for data that was accessed several times and then not accessed for very long period of time. It consumes 25% of memory. The second is for data that is accessed frequently for a long period of time. It consumes 75% of memory. If the page is not in either LRU queue, the Read Cache asks the Write Cache to load page from the disk. If we are lucky and the page is queued to flush but is still in the Write Queue of Write Cache it will be retrieved from there. Otherwise, the Write Cache will load the page from disk. When data will be read from file by Write Cache, it will be put in LRU queue which contains "short living" pages. Eventually, if this pages will be accessed frequently during long time interval, loaded page will be moved to the LRU of "long living" pages. When we release a page and the page is marked as dirty, it is put into the Write Cache which adds it to the Write Queue. The Write Queue can be considered as ring buffer where all the pages are sorted by their position on the disk. This trick allows to minimize disk head movements during pages flush. What is more interesting is that pages are always flushed in the background in the "background flush" thread. This approach allows to mitigate I/O bottleneck if we have enough RAM to work in memory only and flush data in background. So it was about how disk cache works. But how we achieve durability of changes on page level and what is more interesting on the level when we work with complex data structures like Trees or Hash Maps (these data structures are used in indexes). If we look back on set of operations which we perform to manipulate file data you see that step 5 does not contains any references to OrientDB API. That is because there are two ways to work with off heap pages: durable and not durable. The simple (not durable way) is to work with methods of direct memory pointer com.orientechnologies.common.directmemory.ODirectMemoryPointer(setLong/getLong, setInt/getInt and so on). If you would like to make all changes in your data structures durable you should not work with direct memory pointer but should create a component that will present part of your data structure by extending com.orientechnologies.orient.core.storage.impl.local.paginated.ODurablePage class. This class has similar methods for manipulation of data in off heap pages, but it also tracks all changes made to the page. It can return the diff between the old/new states of page using the com.orientechnologies.orient.core.storage.impl.local.paginated.ODurablePage#getPageChanges method. Also this class allows to apply given diff to the old/new snapshot of given pages to repeat/revert (restoreChanges()/revertChanges()) changes are done for this page.

Simon Veal Updatable Diagrams with Inkscape and Python TL;DR: To create diagrams that can be updated from data in a file, I used Inkscape to create the layout, labelled all the diagram elements I want to update, put the data into a CSV file and used some Python code (with the ElementTree XML API) to update the SVG file. I've been experimenting with a new project, WorldCupWallCharts.com (update: now defunct!). It's a site where I create PDF wall charts that people can download and print out, to help them follow major sporting tournaments. It's not really a development project, but I still found a way to write some code while working on it recently 🙂 All the text elements on this diagram were typed in by hand… Wall charts are a combination of diagram (the boxes and lines etc) and document (the text for the team names, dates etc). So it's not totally obvious what the best way to create them is. Do you use a word processor (good for text, bad for diagrams) or a drawing tool (good for diagrams, bad for text)? Or maybe a desktop publishing tool would work best. I felt that the drawing tool was a better bet to start with, so I created the first wall chart, for the Cricket World Cup, in Xara Photo and Graphic Designer. I've had this tool for a while, and I like it a lot. It's easy to use and it's cheaper than Adobe Illustrator, which I guess is its main competitor in the vector graphics space. I definitely wanted to use a vector graphics tool because it gives me much more flexibility to resize things without the blockiness that happens when you resize bitmaps, and I didn't know what size the final page would be. Xara worked pretty well, but one of the downsides for this project is that it's tedious to edit the text. I ended up with a lot of nested boxes, each with bits of text in, like the date of a match and the team names. If I wanted to change the format of dates that I'd used, I would have to individually edit each of the text elements in the diagram. I also knew that if I wanted to re-use the diagram to make a wall chart for another tournament, I would have to go in and edit all the text. So for a one-off wall chart, this was fine. But I have plans to create wall charts for a lot of events, and I don't want to spend all my time double-clicking on text boxes to change the text. I knew I needed to find a way to create diagrams I could update automatically. I envisioned the layout of the wall chart (done in a drawing tool) as a separate thing from the details of the matches, which I could store in a CSV file or some other data format. What About HTML and CSS? At this point I considered another option. I could represent the matches in HTML, then use CSS to style and position those elements on the page. I could then use something like wkhtmltopdf to create the pdf file. I think this could work pretty well, but getting things to look right while fiddling with positioning and style in CSS is not my idea of fun, especially with so many elements on the page. I really wanted to be able to drag things around visually, as in a drawing tool, in order to get them looking right. So I abandoned this idea pretty quickly. Enter Inkscape Inkscape is a free, open source vector graphics tool. For this project, it has the major advantage that it uses the SVG format for its files. SVG is a variant of XML, and looking at the file in a text editor reveals something that is reasonably easy to understand. XML is also pretty easy to traverse and manipulate with a scripting language such as Python. (While Xara can export as SVG, I had no luck in getting it to import from SVG, which was also a necessary part of the process. Otherwise I might have been able to continue using it.) With a bit of experimentation I realised I could add labels to elements in Inkscape, and I could see those labels as attributes on the XML elements in the file. This gave me a way to tag the elements that I would need to update. Setting the label of an object in Inkscape allows you to easily identify that object within the SVG file. I decided to try this new approach while creating the wall chart for the Men's Handball World Championship. Section of the diagram before being updated. Note the placeholder text. A Bit of Python I created a CSV file containing data for the matches in the tournament. The first few rows look like this: stage,match,date,location,team1,team2,match-name A,1,15/01/15,Lusail Sports Arena,Qatar,Brazil, A,2,16/01/15,Qatar Handball Association Complex,Spain,Belarus, A,3,16/01/15,Al-Sadd Sports Hall,Slovenia,Chile, A,4,17/01/15,Lusail Sports Arena,Belarus,Slovenia, (The match-name field is only used for later stages, where the match needs to be given a name like QF3, for example.) Then I wrote a bit of Python code to process the CSV data, and find and update the appropriate elements in the SVG file. I won't post all my code because it's kind of clunky at the moment and very specific to this project. But the pertinent bits are the use of the ElementTree XML API for parsing and updating the XML, and the XPath stuff for finding elements with labels. So to find and update a paragraph element with a label of '#team-1', you would do something like: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET tree = ET.parse('wall-chart.svg') root = tree.getroot() # turns out the text to update is usually in a flowPara which is inside of the element you labelled team_element=root.findall(".//*[@{http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape}label='#team-1']/{http://www.w3.org/2000/svg}flowPara")[0] element.text = 'New Team Name' element.set('updated', 'yes') tree.write('modified.svg') My actual code is a bit more complicated than this, because I figured out that I could save a lot of hassle by making sure that diagram elements were nested, with labels applied to the containing groups. So for example, all the matches in Group A were labelled as #match-01, #match-02 etc, and were then grouped together and given a label of #stage-A. Then I could copy that whole group, change the label to #stage-B and I wouldn't have to change any of the match labels inside the group. That's why the CSV above includes columns for stage and match. Section of the diagram after being updated by my script. Yep, I even updated the colours! I actually think this way of doing things saved me some time even for creating a single wall chart, mainly because I could fill the diagram with placeholder text initially and let my script do all the updating automatically. And it will definitely save me a lot of time when I need to make additional wall charts with the same (or similar) tournament structures to the ones I've already made.

Discussion in 'Fallout General Modding' started by TheOriginOfMind, Apr 15, 2019. Recently I have started to try and get the Alien Blaster in every possible Fallout game, making Luck a more important attribute on the first two due to Special Encounters being necessary, I know how to get it on every game, even Resurrection, but I have no idea on how or where to find one on Fallout of Nevada... can anyone tell me how I can find one, or if the game even has it at all? gustarballs1983 Look, Ma! Two Heads! In the Hotel in Las Vegas ( the one run by Hal Wallace). In one of the rooms on second floor there is a table with some stuff lying on it. Use steal skill on it to get it. then you need to repair the blaster. In Fo: Nevada Alien blaster uses Alien Power Cells instead of the usual Small Energy cells. I see, are Alien Power Cells rare ammo like in 3 or NV? Is there a reliable way to obtain them? Alien cells are obtainable only in few places and perhaps through some random encounters in certain locations the "neon" gang should have some. I don't remember if they are sold in some shops, although they may be. The only ammo I found was with the Blaster and in Area 51 (random encounter with Neon Gangster around LV also might have some). Some traders have extra stock in their shops with high enough Barter, so you might check there. I will try to check on the shops to see if there is anything of interest, thank you! So, more Special Encounters? Guess I will go with High Luck this time around too, thank you a lot for the info!

Q: Persistent BottomSheet Below Fragment Contents? Using a Persistent BottomSheet, within a CoordinatorLayout, how can one prevent the BottomSheet from covering other user interface elements when the BottomSheet is in its COLLAPSED aka peeked state? I've successfully added a BottomSheet to my Navigation Drawer & Fragment based application; however, as mentioned above, the BottomSheet covers user interface elements within my fragment container when it's either COLLAPSED or EXPANDED Covering part of the fragment is ok when the BottomSheet is expanded since, if needed, users can collapse the BottomSheet to its peek state. However, I've explicitly disabled* the user from hiding the BottomSheet and thus need a way of ensuring the fragment container remains above the BottomSheet at all times when the BottomSheet is in its collapsed state. Photos are worth a thousand words so hopefully the following clarify the issue Above: A redacted screenshot of a fragment with two buttons, A & B, near the bottom of the screen. Note: The fragment's root is a scrollview which is why button B is cut off by the System's Back and Home buttons Above: The same fragment as seen above but with the BottomSheet fully expanded. For reference the BottomSheet is everything below and including the green bar. Note: The fact that the BottomSheet covers button A & B is ok since the BottomSheet is fully expanded Above: The same fragment as seen above but with the BottomSheet in its collapsed state. Note: Now that the BottomSheet is fully collapsed and cannot be collapsed further the issue can be seen in that it covers part of button B and more importantly the fragment scrolls below the BottomSheet Originally I was hoping to fix the issue by subclassing AppBarLayout.ScrollingViewBehavior similar to this answer. Sadly I was unable adjust the child view's height within CoordinatorLayout.Behavior#onDependentViewChanged. When called, the child's height appears unset (-1) and adding a OnLayoutChangedListener requires the child to be final making it impossible to update the height once the height is defined in the layout changed listener callback. I'd still like to solve the problem using a subclassed Behavior but for the time being I'm stumped My next thought was to add a "spacer" view to each of my fragment layouts using the <include/> tag. I then could provide add/show and remove/hide helper methods to an abstract base fragment class which all fragments needing to display the BottomSheet would extend. This spacer view would be programmatically assigned the peek height of the BottomSheet making room for it within the fragment. The BottomSheet would then cover the spacer view which is fine since I don't consider it part of the fragment's usable view area. I'm currently working on implementing this approach and while I think it'll work I'm skeptical it's good solution Any advice, suggestions, and potential solutions are welcome and thanks in advance!

Focus on Open Science Chapter XVIII: Budapest Register now! (scroll down) FOLLOW US ON TWITTER: #OS19BUD Ask questions using Sli.do (code F0917) An event organised by: Scientific Knowledge Services, Electronic Information Service National Programme / Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and in collaboration with UCL Press and LIBER (Association of European Research Libraries).. The Challenge of Open Science Science describes the current transition in how research is undertaken, how the outputs are stored and disseminated, how researchers collaborate, how success is measured and how researchers are rewarded for Open approaches. Open Science has the potential to transform the research landscape. What is the role of academic libraries in supporting this transition? Is there indeed a role for libraries at all? What are the current views and agendas in various European countries? How do we differentiate regionally and nationally? The aim of the Focus on Open Science Workshops Started in 2015, we aim through these workshops to address the challenges posed by Open Science, using the 8 pillars of Open Science identified by the European Commission in its Open Science Policy Platform. The mission statement for the workshops is: "Promote the concept of, values and best practices in the Open Science to European communities, with particular reference to libraries." Why are these Workshops important? We believe that such Workshops offer a practitioner experience, grounded in the principles of Open Science, and opportunities for networking at the local level. The Workshop format offers both on-the-spot interactions and follow-up opportunities. Our team is happy to announce a Steering Committee that will help us select the annual topics, the invited speakers and advise on best practices for delivering successful events.

He is also ember of EUA expert group on open science, co-organizer of open science activities of Swiss Academy of Natural Science and member of Swiss working group on Open Access strategy. Citizen Science: the necessary ingredients for a successful ensemble Citizen Science, the active inclusion of citizens into research projects is expanding. On one hand, new (IT) technologies and novel research questions enable and often require lay people to contribute. On the other, politics, especially at the European level strongly encourage open science and in particular citizens participation. These developments may influence the role of science (and eventually education) in general and the perception of universities and their functioning in particular. In this presentation, I will trace these developments and necessary steps to channel them into a successful ensemble. Dr. Tiberius Ignat, Scientific Knowledge Services Tiberius Ignat is the Director of Scientific Knowledge Services, a company which specialises in helping the European libraries to embrace new technologies and ways of working. He runs in partnership with UCL Press and LIBER Europe a successful series of workshops - Focus On Open Science, now in its fourth year. He is a long-time individual member of LIBER, member of European Citizen Science Association and Citizen Science Association (US) and a member of the Scientific Committee for OAI11, the CERN - UNIGE Workshop on Innovations in Scholarly Communication. Tiberius Ignat has a personal interest in Open Science, particularly Citizen Science and the management of this cultural change. He has a PhD in Library and Information Science from the University of Bucharest. Citizen Science: why should we bother? There are two major concerns for scientists: the Nature and the Society. All involved make fundamental and applied efforts to discover knowledge and to build meaning on it. Scholars search for sustainable progress; beings are rubbing shoulders on planet Earth. We all need data and collective intelligence that is orders of magnitude larger than what scientists could do alone. The underuse of citizen science is a missed opportunity for science and society. You are invited to take part in a cultural change and help both Science and Society to build a bridge that lasts, by developing research support services for citizen science. Alberto Martín-Martín , University of Granada (Spain) Alberto Martín-Martín is a lecturer in the department of Library and Information Science at the University of Granada (Spain). His research can be framed within the field of quantitative studies of science. In particular, together with a group of colleagues he has carried out a series of in-depth analyses on the characteristics of the academic search engine Google Scholar and its potential as a source of data for bibliometric analyses. This was the topic of his doctoral thesis, which he defended in June 2019. Google Scholar: a highly comprehensive coverage from inside the hermetic black box Google Scholar (GS) is a freely-accessible and widely used academic search engine that indexes academic literature from a broad range of disciplines, document types, and languages. A considerable number of studies have tried to analyse the main characteristics of GS, despite its general lack of transparency (or perhaps because of it). This talk will provide an overview of GS's known strengths and weaknesses as a source bibliographic and citation data, including comparisons with other similar sources. In addition, several prototype web applications that utilize data from GS for bibliometric purposes (at the journal and author levels) will be presented. The talk will end with a discussion on whether GS data can be sustainably collected and reused for a variety of purposes.

Griffin is a computer engineering student at the University of Toronto, completing a co-op position with TELUS Digital. Griffin started the summer with an ambitious project—to use artificial intelligence (AI) to transform customer insights into tangible outcomes. Griffin was tasked with developing application programming interfaces (APIs) to action the valuable insights generated by the data science team's machine learning models and unlock value for the customers and the business. His first two use cases to deploy into production included streamlining product recommendations and enhancing fraud detection. During his time at TELUS, Griffin learned how to work in a collaborative team environment with a group of highly skilled TELUS ML engineers and data scientists. Griffin also had the opportunity to work with Sam, an exceptional student who was simultaneously completing TELUS' summer internship program. Sam is a recent high school graduate preparing to start a double degree in math and business at the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University in the fall. Sam assembled a list of skills that placed him firmly in the ranks for the TELUS summer internship. Privacy is definitely a difficulty in AI because in order to make predictions you need a lot of information. The current privacy process is a bit lengthy and quite complicated, so in the future, presumably there will be more clear processes in place and synthetic data may be a large part of that. Everyone around you comes to you and they say, 'Hey, do you have any blockers? Do you have anything in the way of you producing your maximum value?' I think that's an effective form of management, where you want to make sure every team member is producing to the best of their ability and being able to clear obstacles off their path. Sam acknowledges that building ML models and overcoming lengthy processes takes constant reassessment and adaptation. He wanted to work with a team that could keep up with the challenges that were presented and efficiently overcome hurdles. "I found it to be a very good environment to work in," he says assuredly. "It's definitely interesting work. It's nice to be in an agile environment that works with my mentality and how I work," he adds. There are few co-op students granted the opportunity to see the capabilities of AI and ML unfold in a real-world setting. Griffin and Sam are at the forefront of a greater conversation about ethics in AI and how to navigate the complexity of customer data protection, centralized approval, and establishing agile internal processes. When asked if the internship enabled growth for Griffin's future career, he replied with excitement: "Absolutely. The machine learning team was in its infancy when I first started. Rather than just being instructed, 'okay do X, Y, and Z,' I got the opportunity to explore the landscape of what the team was doing and find my own place." He plans to carry his newfound skills into the school year and learn more about software architecture. Sam started his internship with a limited understanding of how AI works in a business setting. He left TELUS with a developed set of skills that make him a strong asset to a variety of companies seeking to further AI application in their business. His intelligence, expertise, and applied training will allow him to excel in his chosen profession and create real change in the industry. Griffin and Sam were asked to showcase their work at the weekly roundup to hundreds of receptive TELUS team members. "[I'm] really excited for the opportunity to explain what I've achieved in the short time I've had here," Griffin says. He hopes that the team of data scientists will continue to push the development of intuitive APIs to deployment while he completes his school year. Griffin and Sam concluded their time as summer interns by delivering an eloquent debrief on their work. This coming fall, the TELUS' ML engineers and data scientists will be able to use Sam's synthetic datasets and Griffin's APIs to more easily deploy ML applications to production, driving better outcomes for our customers and business. Evidently, an internship or co-op placement with TELUS is not a sideline seat, but rather, an opportunity to be an integral part of the team from day one. The company culture encourages ideas that are capable of shaking up conventions. Griffin and Sam came into their respective positions without preconceived notions about how things should be. The existing team saw this as an opportunity to introduce a new generation of enthusiastic, computer literate students to the big picture. In the long-term TELUS will become an AI-enabled organization that uses smart machines to augment human capabilities through reason and interaction. This will not only increase operational efficiency, but enable top-tier business objectives by freeing up time to focus on customers, increase speed to market, and scale this swell of capabilities across all functions. The big picture is one that paints artificial intelligence as a central character and allows business objectives to flow more efficiently from inception to completion with the help of superior technology. An AI program will soon be integral to nearly every organization's business functions, so what makes TELUS different? TELUS is committed to responsible AI and the assurance that every team member involved with the AI initiative is cognizant of this commitment. With talent, prowess, and integrity, Griffin and Sam are a reflection of what's to come. When they choose to build responsible AI, they bring humanity to the machine. As they walk out of the TELUS office into their universities and promising careers, it's hard not to anticipate big things from these capable students.

Several People's Liberation Army Navy Houbei missile boats. The following is from the recently released written testimony from Jesse Karotkin is the Senior Intelligence Officer (SIO) for China at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) before the U.S. China Economic and Security Review Commission on Jan. 30, 2014. At the dawn of the 21st Century, the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA(N)) remained largely a littoral force. Though China's maritime interests were rapidly changing, the vast majority of its naval platforms offered very limited capability and endurance, particularly in blue water. Over the past 15 years the PLA(N) has carried out an ambitious modernization effort, resulting in a more technologically advanced and flexible force. This transformation is evident not only the PLA(N)'s Gulf of Aden counter-piracy presence, which is now in its sixth year, but also in the navy's more advanced regional operations and exercises. In contrast to its narrow focus a just decade ago, the PLA(N) is evolving to meet a wide range of missions including conflict with Taiwan, enforcement of maritime claims, protection of economic interests, as well as counter- piracy and humanitarian missions. The PLA(N) currently possesses approximately 77 principal surface combatants, more than 60 submarines, 55 medium and large amphibious ships, and roughly 85 missile-equipped small combatants. Although overall order-of-battle has remained relatively constant in recent years, the PLA(N) is rapidly retiring legacy combatants in favor of larger, multi-mission ships, equipped with advanced anti-ship, anti-air, and anti-submarine weapons and sensors. During 2013 alone, over fifty naval ships were laid down, launched, or commissioned, with a similar number expected in 2014. Major qualitative improvements are occurring within naval aviation and the submarine force, which are increasingly capable of striking targets hundreds of miles from the Chinese mainland.

The workshop papers should be submitted to the workshop organizers directly. Please follow the instruction on the web site of the workshop you are submitting to. In case of any difficulties do not hesitate to contact ECOOP'2010 organizers (ecoop2010@uni-mb.si) or the workshop chairs Marjan Mernik and Richard Torkar (ws-ecoop2010@uni-mb.si). The software engineering community has put considerable effort to improve effort estimates for better project planning, monitoring and control. Most of the software effort estimation models or techniques take software product size as the base input. There currently exist, many size measures, such as Albrecht/IFPUG Function Points, COSMIC Function Points, Use Case Points, Object Points, Source Lines of Code, Number of Classes. Among those, software functional size measurement (FSM) methods have evolved quite a bit since the original method Albrecht introduced his Function Point Analysis (FPA), in 1979. Later, many variations on the original idea were suggested to improve or to extend the domains of application of Function Points. At the ISO initiative, the ISO 14143 standard family has been developed to enable standardization of the FSM methods. Currently, the Common Software Measurement International Consortium Function Points (COSMIC), Albrecht/the International Function Point Users Group (IFPUG) FPA, MarkII FPA, the Netherlands Software Metrics Association (NESMA) FSM and the Finnish Software Metrics Association (FiSMA) FSM methods are accepted as international FSM methods. there is not enough experience reports including the lessons learned and best practices information for existing and future users, etc. The aim of this workshop is to address these problems and open issues, report findings as well as discuss new ideas regarding the efficient use of the FSM methods within the scope of software development projects. There are many research challenges in the FSM area that needs to be addressed and tested in practice. Best papers will be considered for publication in the Information and Software Technology with the impact factor 1.2. The authors will be asked to prepare extended version of the paper before December 2010. Context information plays an increasingly important role in our information centric world. Software systems must adapt to changing contexts over time, and must change even while they are running. Unfortunately, mainstream programming languages and development environments do not support this kind of dynamic change very well, leading developers to implement complex designs to anticipate various dimensions of variability. The goal of Context-oriented Programming (COP) is to directly support variability depending on a wide range of dynamic attributes, making it possible to dispatch runtime behavior on any properties of the execution context. Several researchers are working on Context-oriented Programming and related ideas, and implementations ranging from prototypes to mature platform extensions used in commercial deployments have illustrated how multi-dimensional dispatch can indeed be supported effectively to achieve expressive runtime variation in behavior. The goal of this workshop is to provide a progressive and open-minded forum at ECOOP dedicated to the future of distributed object technology. Today, distributed computing has become a ubiquitous technology supported by the infrastructure of the Internet. A major and by now obvious trend in distributed computing is the move towards the provision of software as a service via the network (cloud or utility computing, "Software as a Service"). Perhaps less obvious today, but no less important in the long term, is the trend towards extending the Web to include everyday, physical objects, leading to an "Internet of Things". This workshop provides a forum to discuss the (object-oriented) development of such systems. The question that we want to address is: how can we program such systems in a manageable, robust and scalable manner? Lisp is one of the oldest computer languages still in use today. In the decades of its existence, Lisp has been a fruitful basis for language design experiments as well as the preferred implementation language for applications in diverse fields. The structure of Lisp makes it easy to extend the language or even to implement entirely new dialects without starting from scratch. Common Lisp, with the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), was the first object-oriented programming language to receive an ANSI standard and retains the most complete and advanced object system of any programming language, while influencing many other object-oriented programming languages that followed. The European Lisp Workshop brings researchers and practitioners together to address the near-future role of Lisp-based languages in research, industry and education. Formal techniques can help analyze programs, precisely describe program behavior, and verify program properties. Newer languages such as Java and C# provide good platforms to bridge the gap between formal techniques and practical program development, because of their reasonably clear semantics and standardized libraries. Moreover, these languages are interesting targets for formal techniques, because the novel paradigm for program deployment introduced with Java, with its improved portability and mobility, opens up new possibilities for abuse and causes concern about security. Formal specifications, syntax and semantics, of modeling languages have not been developed yet to the equivalent maturity seen for programming languages. While the syntax of modeling languages is commonly specified by metamo-dels, an appropriate and standard formalism for specifying (behavioral) semantics of modeling languages does not exist yet. Recently, this has been identified as one of the most important research topics in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum to dis-cuss five major challenge areas in formalizing modeling languages and constructing automated tools from such for-malizations. They include: (i) inventing a behavioral seman-tics formalism that is easier to use than existing formalisms and is amenable to further processing for automatic genera-tion of modeling tools (e.g., editors, debuggers, and simula-tors); (ii) extending not only models, but also metamodels, with semantics; (iii) automatic generation of different mode-ling tools would require tool-specific information and diffe-rent generative algorithms to construct them; (iv) mapping to existing low-level formalisms/tools must be automatic and transparent to end-users of the modeling language; and (v) development of new tools that are not possible without a formal semantics (e.g., model checker that can verify do-main-specific properties). Computer programming languages, especially object-oriented languages, are pervasive and play a significant role in computer science and engineering life and sometime appear as ubiquitous and completely mature. However, despite a large number of works, there still is a clear need for solutions for efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages in various application domains ranging from embedded and real-time systems to desktop systems. The ICOOOLPS workshop thus aims to address this crucial issue of optimization, mainly but not only in OO languages, programs and systems. It intends to do so by bringing together researchers and practitioners working in the field of implementation and optimization, especially for object-oriented languages. Its main goals are identifying fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation, compilation and optimization of OO languages, and outlining future challenges and research directions. An expected output of this workshop is a synthesis identifying fundamental bases and key current issues pertaining to the efficient implementation and compilation of OO languages, in order to spread them further amongst the various computing systems. It is also intended to extend this synthesis to encompass future challenges and research directions in the field of OO languages implementation and optimization, as well as non-OO languages. Software engineering issues, including metrics, interactions with methodologies, consequences for quality parameters such as maintainability, comprehensibility, etc. Different communities -- such as the design methods, database, knowledge representation, data mining, object programming language, and modeling communities -- address these concerns in different ways. One of our goals is to bring together a diverse set of participants from many communities, to compare and contrast the ideas, designs, implementations, and uses of inheritance which have been developed by these communities. The concerns are reflected differently by different communities, e.g., with an emphasis on the implementation or static analysis of language mechanisms, on problem domain modeling, or on the organization of computational artifacts that generate useful simulations. In the area of knowledge representation, the modeling role of classes prevails: hierarchies are repositories of validated knowledge which support the acquisition of new knowledge. In analysis and design, the purpose of the hierarchy shifts as the design matures from modeling to organizing. Hence, modern methodologies, tools, and languages should support the gradual evolution of class hierarchies from one use to the other. Despite the wide use of specialization hierarchies, there is no standard methodology for constructing and maintaining them independently from the domains that they represent, and the artifacts that they organize. This workshop will provide a forum for researchers from a variety of domains to learn from each other and work together to develop such a methodology. Finally, in contrast to other paradigms such as functional programming, there is no universally accepted foundation for specialization mechanisms such as inheritance or mixins or traits. This workshop provides a forum for researchers to contribute to the development of such a foundation in all the relevant dimensions, including the conceptual framework, language mechanisms for dynamic and static semantics, mathematical formalisms, methodologies, and knowledge representation. While OO has become ubiquitously employed for design, implementation, and even conceptualization, many practitioners recognize the concomitant need for other programming paradigms according to problem domain. We seek answers to the question of how to address the need for other programming paradigms - or even domain specific languages - in the general context of OO languages. Can OO programming languages effectively support other programming paradigms or the embedding of other languages? The answer seems to be affirmative, at least for some paradigms. For example, significant progress has been made for the case of functional programming in C++. Additionally, several efforts have been made to integrate support for other paradigms as a front-end for OO languages (the Pizza language, extending Java, is a prominent example). Libraries and extensions for concurrency are also being developed for new and upcoming multi-core and heterogeneous architectures. This workshop seeks to bring together practitioners and researchers in this developing field to compare notes on their work - describe existing, developing, or proposed techniques, idioms, methodologies, language extensions, or software for expressing non-OO paradigms in OO languages; or theoretical work supporting or defining the same. High-level presentations of position are welcome, and reports of work in progress, are welcome. Tomas Kalibera, Charles University in Prague, Czech Rep. The behavior of real-time and embedded applications is constrained by the physical world. Higher-level programming languages and middleware are needed to robustly and productively design, implement, compose, integrate, validate, and enforce both real-time constraints and conventional functional requirements, while assuring modularity and composability of independently developed components. It is essential that the production of real-time embedded systems can take advantage of languages, tools, and methods that enable higher software productivity. The last decade have brought a plethora of ideas bridging the gap between high-level object-oriented approaches and the low-level problems of the real-time embedded world. However, experimentation is needed to evaluate these ideas and to transform them into practical language designs, tools, and methodologies. Finally, there is the problem of extending these ideas to truly object-oriented designs. The purpose of the ROOTs workshop is to bring together professionals and researchers experienced in adapting object-oriented programming to the world of real-time and embedded software. While object-oriented design and methodology bring the productivity necessary for the expanding field of real-time systems, the programming languages and tools often need to be adapted to address the specific challenges these fields represent. Sharing the experience of addressing low-level problems with object-oriented approaches is thus the key goal of the workshop. Furthermore, the workshop focuses on evaluation in practice to assess the object-oriented approaches with realistic problems. The goal is to further the understanding of such systems in practice, and connect practice and theory. The subject areas that this workshop proposes to address have recently seen increased interest, to mention a few, a newly released Virtual Machine allows users to deterministically execute regular Java on bare hardware, recent innovation of real-time garbage collection offers the real-time programming to the masses, componentization of industry-popular microOS introduces advanced object-oriented paradigm even into the OS layers, and a safety-critical specification for Java addresses the challenges of safety-critical certified software. This workshop aims to bring researchers together for passionate discussion about these examples and the relevant topics in general, and to promote not only the theory, but practical evaluation of these ideas, and experience reports. Software evolution and adaptation is a research area in continuous evolution, and offering stimulating challenges for both academic and industrial researchers. The evolution of software systems, to face unexpected situations or just for improving their features, relies on software engineering techniques and methodologies. Nowadays a similar approach is not applicable in all situations e.g., for evolving nonstopping systems or systems whose code is not available. This ECOOP 2010 workshop is intended to draw together both researchers and practitioners who are dealing with the testing of object-oriented software, in order to report on the state of their research and to exchange their experiences. Object-oriented software presents a particular challenge to the software testing community. This is due to the many dependencies between classes and components, which occur as a result of reuse and non-redundancy. Using object-oriented programming, the amount of code is significantly reduced compared to traditional procedural programming, but the number of potential paths through the software increases due to polymorphism, inheritance and collaboration. This means shifting effort from development to testing. This phenomenon has been documented in the test literature by Robert Binder, Shel Siegel, Mark Harman, Jeff Offutt, Erich Gamma, and many others working in the field of testing. Boris Beizer, who has written several books on testing, remarks that the developers of object-oriented software are astounded by the amount of testing they must perform in order to obtain adequate coverage of all potential usages with all possible exceptions. Testing effort can be two to three times greater than the effort involved in designing and coding. In fact, the very purpose of object-oriented development could be negated unless economical means of assuring the sufficient quality of software are found.

Q: Eager Loading of Associations using MongoMapper I'm looking to Eager Load Associated Documents using MongoMapper. Say I have an author with a :has_one condition to a Post, I should be able to load the author using a single query Post.find(:all, :include => :author) Any suggestions? A: UPDATE: The code below is just as models workflow.. I tried it after some coding and it didnt work! Lets say you have Post model and User model. User has_many posts, and you want All the users (authors) with their posts. Here a tip to handle it. and my example is fetching one post. post.rb class Post include MongoMapper::Document key :title, String key :body, String key :user_id, ObjectId belongs_to :user end and user.rb class User include MongoMapper::Document key :name many :posts, :embed => :title end Now, u = User.first p = u.posts.first puts p.title # read it from embedded doc puts p.body # lazy loading The trick here is to embed the mostly common fields like the name of the user, _id, user slug, etc. I didnt test what above, but you have to give a try!

Clear Seas » Blog » What Are HNS? Marine incidents involving hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) occur at a much lower frequency than oil spills. However, the consequence of a HNS spill can be equal or greater than that of an oil spill. The diverse amount of HNS transported, their varying physical and chemical properties, the uncertainty as to how they may behave in the marine environment and the potential they have to impact human health mean that response to HNS spills can be even more complex than response to oil spills. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for improving the safety and security of international shipping and pollution prevention, define HNS as a substance other than oil which, if introduced into the marine environment, is likely to create hazards to human health, harm living resources and marine life, result in economic or proprietary damages or interfere with other legitimate uses of the sea. Radioactive and infectious substances are outside of the scope of what is defined as HNS. How commonly are HNS transported at sea? It is estimated that over 2,000 varieties of HNS are transported regularly by sea, either in bulk or in packaged form. Chemical tankers trade over 200 million tonnes of HNS products globally on an annual basis. As of 2009, methanol and liquid chemicals accounted for some 46% of these while palm and vegetable oils accounted for 29%; however, the amount of tonnage being traded has been steadily increasing over the past decade. Why are HNS spills complex? These physical properties may also vary depending on the environmental conditions at the time of the spill. Some HNS can evaporate rapidly, dissolve wholly, partly or not at all, float or sink. Their behaviour can also vary over time and depending on water conditions. How are HNS regulated in Canada? Because of its inherently international nature, commercial marine shipping is regulated at the international level. The IMO has developed several Conventions and Codes which apply to the safe transport of HNS dependent upon the physical form and quantity of the substances transported. Two of the most significant Conventions governing the transportation of HNS developed by the IMO are the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). Canada has ratified both SOLAS and MARPOL and enforces the Conventions' regulations within Canadian territorial waters. In 2000, the IMO also developed the Protocol on Preparedness, Response and Co-operation to Pollution Incidents by Hazardous and Noxious Substances (OPRC-HNS Protocol). The aim of the OPRC-HNS Protocol is to establish national systems for preparedness and response and to provide a global framework for combating major incidents or threats of marine pollution caused by HNS transported by sea. States which are a party to the OPRC-HNS Protocol are required to establish response plans for handling HNS pollution incidents, either nationally or in co-operation with other countries. Although the OPRC-HNS Protocol came into force in 2007, Canada is not a party to the Protocol at this time. Learn more from us about what steps Canada is taking to regulate HNS soon.

Is Chinese-style surveillance coming to the west? The Chinese model is now being exported – and the results could be terrifying 'The scale of China's domestic surveillance apparatus is extraordinary.' Photograph: Gregor Schuster/Getty Images In 2005 I was chased, by car, from Shanghai to Hangzhou by Chinese secret police. My crime? Setting up meetings with Chinese writers. I was there working on a report for PEN International on the organizations that cater to literary writers. What issues did writers care about? What activities did they engage in? The car tailing us bobbed in and out of traffic to keep up, and later slowed when it looked like it would overtake us. It was a frightening experience although my companion from PEN and I were not arrested, and we suffered no consequences from the surveillance and pursuit. On the other hand, the Chinese writers we were to meet with the night before in a Shanghai restaurant, had been detained and questioned. One was taken to tea. The other dinner at KFC. Anything to prevent them meeting with us. We could only hope that our efforts to learn more about these writers and support them in their work would not bring them any real harm. And the experience left me with an enduring admiration for their courage to even agree to meet with us in the first place. But that was 15 years ago. If we were to return to China to do a similar report today, who knows if we would even know we were being watched? In a very short time, China's surveillance capability has become immensely sophisticated and now extends beyond keeping tabs on political dissidents to developing a system for monitoring the behavior of the entire population. The technologies that once promised to be a liberating force are now just as easily deployed to stifle dissent You could, in fact, argue that the technologies that once promised to be a liberating force are now just as easily deployed to stifle dissent, entrench authoritarianism and shame and prosecute those the Orwellian government of President Xi Jinping deems out of line. Since the massacre that ended the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy protests in 1989, digital technology has given the Chinese government new, more stealthy modes of silencing, oppressing and disappearing dissidents, and stifling historical discourse. This includes censoring online even mentions of 4 June, and an ever-changing catalogue of words and phrases that, depending on circumstances, are deemed threatening, including "feminism", "1984", "I disagree" and certainly anything that might draw attention to Uighur or Tibetan rights, or the independence of Taiwan. Twitter – and many social media platforms people use freely elsewhere – is banned in China, and many people who have found ways to work around its censorship have been detained as recently as this year. According to Amnesty International, China "has the largest number of imprisoned journalists and cyber-dissidents in the world" which is, of course, related to it having "the world's most sophisticated system for controlling and surveilling the web", as CNN has reported. While we once hoped the internet would deliver us freedom of expression, the ability to communicate freely across borders and even be a channel for dissenting views, we now see the very opposite is occurring. While we once hoped the internet would deliver us freedom of expression, we now see the very opposite is occurring Worse, the Chinese model is now being exported. Wired magazine has reported that China is "exporting its techno-dystopian model to other counties … Since January 2017, Freedom House counted 38 countries where Chinese firms have built internet infrastructure, and 18 countries using AI surveillance developed by the Chinese." The scale of China's domestic surveillance apparatus is extraordinary. The country is in the process of developing a "social credit" system which has been described as Big Brother, Black Mirror and every dystopian future sci-fi writers have ever dreamed up all rolled into one, and which is due to be operational next year. The social credit system will enable the government and others to access details of people's behavior, rate them and make them publicly available. The potential to "name and shame" people for minor lapses such as late-paying of bills is obvious but so is the way such ratings could also be employed to deny citizens employment or to justify detaining them for political reasons. Both in the west and in China, the use of the internet to track individuals is facilitating oppression and paving the way towards authoritarianism. We in the west are beginning to comprehend the sheer extent to which we are monitored and manipulated via social media companies tracking our data and monetizing it by selling it to political parties, retailers and even foreign governments. The dangers these trends pose are shown to be at their peak with tech's willingness to divulge our data or attempt to sway aspects of our personal lives and political opinions. We saw this with the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data harvesting scandal, as exposed by Carole Cadwalladr, and the allowance of targeted disinformation campaigns. What is happening in Orwellian China today is a warning to us in the west that the freedoms we have so blithely taken for granted are already being compromised by the behavior of social media giants and other tech companies. The authoritarian impulses behind such control have already seeped into the American political system and without greater vigilance, and a willingness to fight back, we all may be subject to surveillance on a Chinese scale. The 2019 PEN World Voices Festival runs May 6-12 in New York City and includes Rise Up: Tiananmen's Legacy of Democracy and Freedom;Orwell's China and Siri, Where's My Democracy, Presented with the Guardian. Chip Rolley is senior director of literary programs at PEN America and director of PEN World Voices Festival It was 198 years ago today… … that The Guardian printed its very first news story. From a terrible event came a force for hope, for change, and the first printed edition of The Guardian newspaper. In 1819, tens of thousands of people gathered peacefully in St Peter's Field in Manchester to demand parliamentary reform and an end to inequality and poverty. The local authorities reacted with violence, ordering the cavalry to charge the crowd. Many protesters lost their lives, and the day became known as the Peterloo massacre. In direct response to this, the Manchester Guardian was launched in April 1821, with its first edition pledging a determination to report the truth, argue for reform, and give voice to the oppressed. 198 years later, technological advancements have altered how Guardian journalism is experienced -- but our values and our editorial mission remain the same. Unlike many other news organisations, we have chosen an approach that allows us to keep our journalism accessible to all, regardless of where our readers live or what they can afford. We are editorially independent, so our journalism is free from commercial bias and not influenced by billionaire owners, politicians or shareholders. Between now and our 200th birthday, we're striving to reach the ambitious milestone of two million supporters. This will give us greater security and enable our journalism to thrive for years to come. Every contribution we receive from readers like you, big or small, goes directly into funding our journalism. Support The Guardian from as little as $1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Water retention is a metabolic disorder that involves the accumulation of water or other substances in the body. It usually occurs in the legs, hands, or abdomen, sometimes causing swelling in the ankles and should be controlled because it can be a sign of heart failure. There may also be fluid retention in the face and eyes, which make your face look bloated. Fluid retention occurs when there is an imbalance in the level of body fluids, when blood vessels pour too much fluid on body tissues or when this is retained in tissues and does not return to the blood vessels. The same occurs when the lymphatic vessels that transport lymph, are unable to carry part of the remaining liquid. Using tight clothes doesn't improve blood circulation, leading to fluid retention in the lower extremities. Some medications, such as antidepressants or hormone treatments, can be accompanied by fluid retention. Excessive consumption of salt is another of the most common causes. In women, hormonal imbalances, pre-menstrual period, usually come together with this annoying symptom. Heat and humidity can dilate blood vessels, so that more liquid is filtered and promotes tissue swelling and typical fluid retention. Some physical activities and standing for too long, or conversely prolonged sitting, can cause fluid retention. There are some compounds that help eliminate fluid through the urine, are known as diuretics. Here we can find several fruits and most teas. Because of their action, also cause the body to remove potassium, a mineral that is important, so those who consume these juices, or follow a diuretic therapy, should remember to use a potassium supplement or eating foods that are rich in this mineral, such as bananas and orange juice. Wash and cut the guavas, pass them in juicer along with other fruits and drink immediately. Take the ingredients and combine in the extractor. Take once a day. Wash and disinfect the ingredients. Take off the tail to strawberries to disinfect. Squeeze the juice from the oranges, and pass strawberries and parsley for the juicer. First prepare the infusion, putting one little handful of hibiscus flower leaves in a cup of water. Once ready, add the pineapple and blend until smooth juice. Drink daily.

Is Ethereum the best crypto currency since Bitcoin or is it better? Bitcoin and Ethereum top the list of 1000+ crypto currencies being traded on the internet. According to the latest news, crypto currencies have achieved $155 billion market capitalization which is quite a milestone. Bitcoin, crypto currency that gained prominence in 2013 has the largest share of 71 Billion(45% of the entire coin marke). Ethereum occupies the second position with a market capitalization of $31 billion. Other notable crypto currencies include the Ripple, Litecoin, and Monero. Here are the reasons why Ethereum qualifies as the best currency since Bitcoin. Bitcoin emerged as a crypto currency that provided a mode of transaction and trading without duplication. The fact that more people started relying on crypto currency created more needs. Hence, there were gaps in Bitcoin that were needed to be filled. One can say that Ethereum filled the void by providing more options and services that Bitcoin missed. Ethereum is not all about money. It uses blockchain technology to feature smart contracts and the Ethereum Virtual Machine. For peer to peer contracts, it uses its currency called Ether. Ethereum is not all about trade and use of currency for transactions. It provides the users an ease with following features. Its major feature is the decentralization of consensus without the involvement of the third party. The platform can achieve a verifiable consensus through a mechanism, without going to judges or any legal system. In this, regard Ethereum is more digital in its practices as it liberates the users from the influence of regulators. Basic feature that makes Ethereum the choice of investors after Bitcoin is the EVM. In term of value and market capitalization Bitcoin still surpasses Ethereum, but in term of features, the latest has an edge. EVM provides smart contract feature to the users through which they can make more transactions by remaining on the platform. In fact, they get a chance to increase the use of Ethers, they have mined. Through smart contract features, users can enter in many financial agreements, such as coupon paying bonds or options contracts. Other features of EVM include its ability to fulfill employment contracts, to execute wagers. Up to certain extent, Ethereum is also acting as e-commerce platform rather than merely providing a currency. It also facilitates the purchase of high-value items by acting as trusted escrow. In fact, EVM is bringing smart contracts as an alternate of social and financial agreements; something that is allowing a crypto currency to exist according to it new meanings. EVM is in test phases and has very less power. The power of the machine is expected to rise while enabling it the choice of consumers, businesses, and other entities. Ethereum is in the market from last two years, and it has reached the half of Bitcoin in term of Market Capitalization. The crypto currency is growing exponentially. Certain latest charts reveal that trends for Ether are more bullish than Bitcoin. In fact, the number of transaction on Ethereum is increasing more rapidly than those of Bitcoin. As mentioned above, Ethereum was designed to develop the capabilities of Bitcoin with the help of advanced features. It has utilized blockchain technology in the relatively smarter way. After 8 years of its inception, Bitcoin seems to have reached its capacity for now. So, there is not much room for further investors. That's why more crypto currency miners and traders are looking up to Ether, which is relatively new and equipped with more features. Within two years of its launch, Ether has managed to grab the half of the Bitcoin transaction on its blockchain; a fact that also reflects well in the market capitalization. Ethereum is not all about crypto-currency like Bitcoin. It is a platform of apps, known as smart contracts. In term of design and application use cases Ethereum is on top, but in term of the popularity of it as a currency, Ethereum is second to Bitcoin. Also, Ethereum has an unlimited supply of Ether, contrary to Bitcoin that has a limited number of BTC to offer thus making Ethereum inflationary while Bitcoin is deflationary. The best comparison is that Bitcoin is gold and Ethereum is oil. Many cryptocurrency investors hold both Bitcoin and Ethereum, while others are maximalists or prefer certain coins to other. To each his own….

Home / Advisory / Epcot / Refurbishments / Rumors / Walt Disney World / Epcot's "Circle of Life" Attraction Closes for Enhancements Epcot's "Circle of Life" Attraction Closes for Enhancements Monday, February 08, 2016 Advisory, Epcot, Refurbishments, Rumors, Walt Disney World The often-overlooked attraction themed after The Lion King (located inside The Land pavilion at Epcot) abruptly closed to Guests on Sunday, February 7, 2016 without any official announcement from the Walt Disney World Resort. While the short environmental film is certainly due for an update, at this time it is not clear whether this closure is part of a larger project including a replacement for the existing movie or if it's just part of a major refurbishment of the theater. Guests browsing the official website of the Walt Disney World Resort will now see the following note on the page dedicated to the Circle of Life attraction: As part of our continuing efforts to exceed the expectations of our Guests, The Circle of Life is currently closed for enhancements. Please check back here for the latest updates and information about when it will reopen. The inclusion of the word "enhancement" seems to point to the possibility of having a new movie or even new special effects added to the old Harvest Theater, which has featured this attraction since 1995. In addition to that, plenty of work has already been done inside the theater overnight during the past few months. As we previously reported, the sides of the theater were completely refurbished back in 2014, while the refurbishment of the theater's seats was just completed, according to our sources. The calendar on the attraction's page states that the Circle of Life will remain closed through April 2, reopening to all Guests on April 3. What might need to be done that requires a two-month closure? PHOTOS: © 2016 Walt Disney World Resort. All Rights Reserved. I always thought that theater with its location inside The Land and with Soarin' would make a nice spot for Disney Nature to have a movie and promote those movies and messages. Marc February 9, 2016 at 10:45 AM Could it be an update to change the show to a Lion Guard theamed experience. It's missed cause most people go left when they enter the land building. I bet it's very quiet ATM with Soarin down to the summer.

Linear Algebra/Linear Independence < Linear Algebra ← Subspaces and Spanning sets Linear Independence Definition and Examples of Linear Independence → The prior section shows that a vector space can be understood as an unrestricted linear combination of some of its elements— that is, as a span. For example, the space of linear polynomials { a + b x | a , b ∈ R } {\displaystyle \{a+bx\,{\big |}\,a,b\in \mathbb {R} \}} is spanned by the set { 1 , x } {\displaystyle \{1,x\}} . The prior section also showed that a space can have many sets that span it. The space of linear polynomials is also spanned by { 1 , 2 x } {\displaystyle \{1,2x\}} and { 1 , x , 2 x } {\displaystyle \{1,x,2x\}} . At the end of that section we described some spanning sets as "minimal", but we never precisely defined that word. We could take "minimal" to mean one of two things. We could mean that a spanning set is minimal if it contains the smallest number of members of any set with the same span. With this meaning { 1 , x , 2 x } {\displaystyle \{1,x,2x\}} is not minimal because it has one member more than the other two. Or we could mean that a spanning set is minimal when it has no elements that can be removed without changing the span. Under this meaning { 1 , x , 2 x } {\displaystyle \{1,x,2x\}} is not minimal because removing the 2 x {\displaystyle 2x} and getting { 1 , x } {\displaystyle \{1,x\}} leaves the span unchanged. The first sense of minimality appears to be a global requirement, in that to check if a spanning set is minimal we seemingly must look at all the spanning sets of a subspace and find one with the least number of elements. The second sense of minimality is local in that we need to look only at the set under discussion and consider the span with and without various elements. For instance, using the second sense, we could compare the span of { 1 , x , 2 x } {\displaystyle \{1,x,2x\}} with the span of { 1 , x } {\displaystyle \{1,x\}} and note that the 2 x {\displaystyle 2x} is a "repeat" in that its removal doesn't shrink the span. In this section we will use the second sense of "minimal spanning set" because of this technical convenience. However, the most important result of this book is that the two senses coincide; we will prove that in the section after this one.

She utilized a clear and consistent information hierarchy by separating the label into two halves separated by a line. Name , Dose and Instructions are above the line. Required but less important info (qty, expiration date, Doctor, Pharmacy phone number) are below the line in smaller type. Color coded rubber rings attached to the neck of the bottle ensure that, just like with a communal electric toothbrush, you never put something in your mouth which was intended for somebody else in your family. Deborah shopped her design, but it was quickly snagged up by Target, who bought the IP and rolled the concept out across their chain. The concept is consistent with Target's overall brand image and has been an unqualified success. You can learn more about the design and innovation process for ClearRX at Peter Merholz's Experience Matters blog and in the article "The Perfect Prescription" from New York Magazine. Personally, I find it to be a great example of how a dominant industry format can be re-engineered from the bottom up by thinking thoughtfully about the way users interact with the product and trying to streamline and improve the user experience via human factors study. Just because a design format is time tested and well entrenched, it doesn't mean it is immune to innovation.

Mobile, Privacy, Endpoint Security Flagrant foul? Mobile app user accuses NBA's Warriors of spying on conversations Bradley Barth September 1, 2016 Satchell v Warriors A New York woman has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Golden State Warriors, accusing the NBA franchise of distributing a mobile content app that invades users' privacy by turning on a device's microphone and eavesdropping on the audio it picks up. In a motion filed this week in a San Francisco-based federal District Court, plaintiff LaTisha Satchell alleges that the app uses a technology called audio beacons to track users' movements in physical spaces in order to deliver location-based targeted advertisements. Satchell is also suing the manufacturer of this technology, New York-based Signal360, as well as the app developer, Pittsburgh-based Yinzcam. According to the filing, the team delivers targeted ads to app users when they physically approach a Signal360 speaker (placed around the Warriors' Oracle Arena, according to reports). Each speaker emits a unique audio signal that is tied to a specific location. But here's the catch: the app only knows when a device is in range of these special signals because the app automatically turns on the device's microphone and continuously listens for them, the complaint alleges. In doing so, the app may be constantly eavesdropping on users' conversations, the plaintiff claims. "Unfortunately for consumers, defendants never inform them that their smartphones are being turned into listening devices nor do they ever seek consent," reads the complaint, which seeks statutory and punitive damages. (The app's permissions list does include a "Microphone" entry, but does not specify how the microphone is used.) The filing also claims that the app – designed to deliver scores, news, and other team information – even listens when operating in the background, and only stops when it is fully closed or the device is turned off. SCMagazine.com has reached out to each of the defendants for comment; the Warriors have declined to comment on the pending litigation, per team policy. "We have been made aware of the suit and it appears there is a misunderstanding about how our technology works," stated Lauren Cooley, COO of Signal360, in an emailed statement to The Mercury News. "Our technology does not intercept, store, transmit, or otherwise use any oral content for marketing purposes or for any other purpose."

Личэ́н () — район городского подчинения городского округа Путянь провинции Фуцзянь (КНР). История Исторически эти места были частью уезда Путянь (莆田县). После образования КНР в 1949 году был создан Специальный район Цюаньчжоу (泉州专区), и уезд вошёл в его состав. В 1955 году Специальный район Цюаньчжоу был переименован в Специальный район Цзиньцзян (晋江专区). В июне 1970 года уезд перешёл из состава Специального района Цзиньцзян в состав Специального района Миньхоу (闽侯专区), и власти Специального района Миньхоу переехали из уезда Миньхоу в уезд Путянь. В мае 1971 года Специальный район Миньхоу был переименован в Округ Путянь (莆田地区). Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 18 апреля 1983 года округ Путянь был расформирован, и уезд был передан в состав округа Цзиньцзян (晋江地区). Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 9 сентября 1983 года уезды Путянь и Сянью были выделены в отдельный городской округ Путянь; при этом из уезда Путянь была выделена урбанизированная зона, которая была разделена на районы Чэнсян и Ханьцзян. Постановлением Госсовета КНР от 1 февраля 2002 года был расформирован уезд Путянь, а на его месте были созданы районы Личэн и Сююй. Административное деление Район делится на 2 уличных комитета и 4 посёлка. Ссылки Районы Путяня

Q: Keep Logged in Users out of Admin Panel So I'm creating user registration. Just simply <?php wp_register(); ?> but then it gives them a link to the admin panel, which in my situation they really don't need. How do I remove the "Site Admin" link and redirect a subscriber if they try to access the admin panel? I guess once they log in I will need to redirect them to a certain page also. A: So I found the answer and thought it might be useful for later viewers. Adding the code below will redirect all users that are not admin to the homepage. function prevent_admin_access() { if (strpos(strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), '/wp-admin') !== false && !current_user_can('administrator')) { wp_redirect(get_option('siteurl')); } } add_action('init', 'prevent_admin_access', 0); The only problem with this code is that the registration needs to be changed so the user can pick their own password. A: You can remove the read capability from subscribers, which is what gives them access to the dashboard. This is best done with an activation hook on a plugin -- it only needs to be done once. <?php register_activation_hook( __FILE__, 'wpse43054_activation' ); function wpse43054_activation() { $role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); if( $role ) $role->remove_cap( 'read' ); } And, of course, you probably want to give that capability back on plugin deactivation. <?php register_deactivation_hook( __FILE__, 'wpse43054_deactivation' ); function wpse43054_deactivation() { $role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); if( $role ) $role->add_cap( 'read' ); } Finally, you can hook into init and redirect folks if they are logged in, try to access the admin area and don't have the read capability. <?php add_action( 'init', 'wpse43054_maybe_redirect' ); function wpse43054_maybe_redirect() { if( is_admin() && ! current_user_can( 'read' ) ) { wp_redirect( home_url(), 302 ); exit(); } } You'll also probably want to remove the admin bar for users with a read capability. You can do that by hooking into get_user_metadata and hijacking the check for the user meta value for show_admin_bar_front. <?php add_filter( 'get_user_metadata', 'wpse43054_hijack_admin_bar', 10, 3 ); function wpse43054_hijack_admin_bar( $null, $user_id, $key ) { if( 'show_admin_bar_front' != $key ) return null; if( ! current_user_can( 'read' ) ) return 0; return null; } All that as a plugin.

Friday, Sep 7 2001 Number of HIV-Positive Babies Born in New York Declining, Nearly All Identified Infants Receiving Treatment The rates of perinatal HIV transmission continue to decline in New York, with 99.4% of HIV-exposed infants receiving HIV-related care, according to new data from the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute. According to a release from Assembly member Nettie Mayersohn, the figures demonstrate the success of the 1997 New York Baby AIDS Law, which requires all newborns to be routinely tested for HIV. Mayersohn said, "Virtually all of the babies are being identified and treated. Without this law, hundreds of women would never have learned their HIV status and countless babies would have needlessly died from this horrible disease." She added, "It is a disgrace that the federal CDC and the AIDS lobby continue to oppose this successful, common sense public health approach to addressing HIV." As of June 2001, the state health department's AIDS Institute found that 93% of all women giving birth knew their HIV status before delivery, up from 62% in July 1999. The national rate of prenatal testing was 56% in 1999. According to the release, the department also found that the number of seropositive newborns in New York City has "dropped to the lowest rate ever recorded" and rates of perinatal HIV "are decreasing as a result of testing and treatment to prevent transmission." Mayersohn said she expects the success of the state law to encourage the introduction of federal legislation to require routine HIV testing of newborns (Mayersohn release, 9/5).

Jonesborough market was pinpointed by the Motion Picture Association of Amercia (MPAA) as "infamous" for its prevalence of physical counterfeit movies in a letter the organisation has written to the US Government. The border village is mentioned alongside regions in Moscow, India, Ukraine, Brazil and Malaysia by the MPAA, which represents film makers such as Disney, Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox and Universial Studios. It is trying to stop the practise of copying and selling films both - online and in physical form - in order to protect its members' royalty rights and it seems well aware of the fare on offer in Jonesborough. "This market sits in an isolated area on the border of Northern Ireland and Ireland and is monitored by illegal traders deploying counter-surveillance measures," the MPAA said in its letter. It noted that a number of arrests have been made in recent times and that all are waiting to appear in court, many of whom could be linked to paramilitary organisations. "Operators of this market have historically strong ties to paramilitary groups and sell an array of counterfeit products, including pirated optical discs," the MPAA said. It is estimated that film piracy costs the movie industry over $6bn a year and the organisation is hoping the US Trade Representative Department can help co-ordinate a worldwide clampdown on the practise. The fact Northern Ireland is one of the world's hotspots for piracy won't go unnoticed by the those in the growing television and film industry here, which has been thriving following the production of Game of Thrones and a number of major films. "Despite the growing legal online marketplace that benefits both consumers and creators, a wide range of complex and sophisticated illegitimate marketplaces operate around the world, distributing infringing content and profiting off others' hard work," Joanna McIntosh, MPAA's Executive Vice President, Global Policy and External Affairs.

Help this Blog Survive and Grow! Vehicle Traveller A site with all the info about mechanized travell from traffic light to traffic light to global expeditions to racing information Posted November 10, 2018 by Vehicle Traveller Car Racing Kubica and Williams http://www.pitpass.com/63468/Kubica-and-Williams It was reported yesterday that Robert Kubica is "in the frame" for the seat alongside George Russell at Williams next season, indeed it was claimed he has a "race drive on offer". "I think we are quite close to the decision," the Pole told Motorsport.com. "From my point of view I'm getting there, and I have a deadline very soon, in my head let's say. "It will be within a few days, what I decide, what I want to do," he added, "and what I think is the best direction for me. I'm in a comfortable situation, and this is what I've been saying for a few weeks. I will be doing something which in one way or another attracts me, and gives me the confidence that I will be doing something that I enjoy. But for sure a lot depends on making my mind up on what direction I want to go, if I want to race, and where to race, if I can combine things, and if I can focus only on one thing, as I did this year. As I said, I have my deadline, which I will respect, which is in the next few days. Then we will see." The Pole's determination to return to the sport following his almost fatal rallying crash in 2011 is the stuff of legend, and his disappointment on missing out on the seat at Williams this year was only matched by the disappointment of his many fans and admirers. However, muddying the waters is talk of the Pole joining Ferrari as a development driver, the Italian team having lost Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso and Antonio Giovinazzi to Sauber. Ferrari places much emphasis on its development drivers whose simulator work over Grand Prix weekends is known to have turned the team's fortunes around on a number of occasions over the last few years. However, Ferrari being Ferrari, it is unlikely that a development role – no matter how significant – will lead to a full race seat with the Maranello outfit, somewhat ironic when you consider that he had agreed a deal to race for the Maranello outfit in 2012 prior to his 2011 rally crash. While a decent performance for Ferrari might lead to a placement at Haas or Sauber, this could be a couple of years away and the Pole is already 33. Then, we are told, he is "in the frame" at Williams, however, as we know from experience that is no guarantee. Indeed, our sources claim that the loss of potential sponsor Rich Energy to Haas was a far bigger blow to the Grove outfit than many realised, with the team going to extraordinary efforts (and cost) to secure the deal. Indeed, we understand that a 2 am call to reveal the Haas decision left team boss Claire Williams in tears. Consequently, it would appear that the Grove outfit needs a driver who can bring a substantial amount of money to the team, and Kubica simply doesn't have it. A job-share – what with Williams being powered by Mercedes – is totally out of the question, therefore the Ferrari development role appears to be Kubica's only genuine prospect. Whether he genuinely believes the Williams seat is a real prospect – knowing something the rest of us don't – Kubica admits that when it comes to priorities he remains undecided, though he understandably appears to favour the prospect of a short-term racing position than a longer-term 'back office' role with Ferrari. "Maybe the wish of driving and coming back to F1 is bigger than the wish of a long project," he says. "I leave a lot to personal conclusions. But the final conclusion is my one, and I will make it. "When I'm saying I want to make my mind up, it's also about what I want to do with my future," he adds. "Definitely I'm not looking only for the next three months, or one year, but what's is my feeling. Not everything depends on my feeling, it's not because once I decide everybody is waiting with open arms, there are also things to look at and see how it can work. I have a long flight back from Brazil, it's good to have last thoughts, and then we'll see." Nonetheless, the Pole admits that a job with Ferrari would appeal. "I said always when you are a small child you dream about F1, then you once you are established as an F1 driver there are two things, either you win championships, or you drive in the red car. I was quite close to doing it, it didn't work out. "I cannot look behind, I have to look forward," he adds. "It could be very interesting, but I have to see more about working with a top team on a high level. It would be a good opportunity from a professional point of view, but also from an emotional point of view it can be something interesting."

"The Covered Market is dear to all our hearts, so to demonstrate Oxford Preservation Trust's support for it, and with the help of The William Delafield Trust, we are working in partnership with Oxford City Council to restore the Lindsey Butcher's units to their former glory." Debbie Dance, Director at Oxford Preservation Trust Oxford Preservation Trust received a generous grant from The William Delafield Charitable Trust to support the restoration of three stalls (Units 46-48) in Oxford's Covered Market, positioning the town's heritage at the heart of the city. This project sought to reclaim the original design of the high-quality retail units and showcase historic craftsmanship within the locally and nationally significant heritage asset that is Oxford's Covered Market. Uncovering the Past The Covered Market, in its original form, first opened in late 1774 and has remained in continuous use ever since. It was designed by architect, John Gwynn (who also designed Magdalen Bridge), as a replacement to the street markets. The sale of meat, fish and poultry on Oxford's streets was banned, with the passing of the 1771 Oxford Mileways Act signalling a gear change in the local history of transport, trade, and industry. The Mileways Act sought to encourage traffic into the city – a very different place to the Oxford we know today! The John Lindsey Butcher & Son unit is situated in the earliest surviving part of the Victorian market, designed by architect Thomas Wyatt the Younger, and built as part of the 'New Market' extension around 1839-40. The unit holds high evidential value with the potential to reveal information about the earlier form of the market and its various phases of change. Not only of architectural interest, Units 46-48 were also constructed using a variety of local professions and therefore sheds light on the fortunes of individual trades in Oxford. Hidden Treasure Revealed In May 2019, strip out works began in the unit, with the first element uncovered being the vaulted lath and plaster ceiling, which needed significant repair. When plasterboard was removed, wrought iron latticework was exposed, miraculously surviving in place between the units and wrapping around the outside, and originally the ventilation for the stalls. Although we initially believed the columns to be made of concrete, the removal of many layers of paint has revealed solid stone columns hidden beneath. Careful restoration is now taking place to mend the damage and restore their structural integrity. Taking off the latex floor screed has uncovered the original stone flag floor, well preserved in parts, and instantly adding character to the building, so that a decision has been made to repair, seal and to leave it exposed. We were pleased to launch Oxford Open Doors 2019 at the Covered Market with the theme 'Made in Oxford', and we opened the unit across the weekend for visitors to discover what we had found and to share our restoration plans. An Unexpected Year In January 2020, restoration work began on the unit, with lath and plaster repairs on the ceiling and repointing of original brickwork. However, by the end of March, the COVID-19 pandemic had taken hold, and lockdown brought the work to a halt. Nonetheless, by June progress was again being made with our dedicated and skilled contractors safely returning to the site. Keen to assist with the re-opening of the Covered Market to customers, a decision was made to remove the 1970s brick façade, which had been acting as the site hoardings, but was reducing the width of the aisle and space to move around within the market's public areas. On 15th June, the Market reopened with the original building line restored, enabling improvement to the sightlines of the avenues, and reintroducing the architectural rhythm of the market. The rear brick wall looks splendid with its limewash, and we were all thrilled with the craftsmanship that went into saving and restoring Lindsey's original painted signage above the door. More headway was made in August and September, with the plastering, painting, skirting, block paving and ventilation being completed, as well as the installation of the windows, doorframes, joinery, and reworked iron trelliswork. A carefully chosen colour scheme was also agreed to act as an exemplar for work to other units in the Market that might come forward in future years. The team visited the site to assess the scope of works to the incredible original stone floor, which has now been pointed. In 2021, the focus was on reaching project completion. This involved cleaning of the interiors, electrics, and final repairs to areas such as the fretwork. Lattice grilles have also been fabricated and fitted within the unit. The final touches also involved decorating the Units in a manner which was sympathetic with the original design- including the painstakingly detailed restoration of the old "Lindsey's" sign above the units. Excitingly, the units are now ready for new tenants to move into! Currently, the units are being leased to Makespace Oxford, who are collaborating with Oxford City Council to provide temporary 'meanwhile' leases to four Oxford-based retailers that have social and environmental purpose at their core. The four resident organisations are Ducky Zebra, a start-up creating colourful, sustainable clothing for children; Y.O.U Underwear, a social enterprise making a difference selling sustainable, organic undergarments with a focus on ethical supply chains; The Woolhound, an independent yarn and craft store; and Headington Fair Trade, a shop selling ethical and fairly-traded food, homewares, stationery and more.This arrangement will be running until February 2022, and will hopefully pave the way for a new era on Oxford's High Street, with the community at its heart. So please visit these businesses at the Covered Market before February and help support Oxfordshire-based Organisations! The Un-Covered Market In time for Oxford Open Doors 2021, OPT were delighted to share with our members the new Un-Covered Market Audio Tour created by the Covered Market and funded by Oxford City Council and the Museum of Oxford. The project brought together local historians, poets, filmmakers and artists to create "an immersive audio tour that's part informative and part poetic wandering. The 15 minute tour leads you around the market allowing you to stop and notice things you may have overlooked and giving you permission to discover new things about this well-known, well-loved building." The tour is free to stream/download, and all you need is a pair of headphones! Discover the history of the Covered Market for yourself HERE. As a communal, atmospheric, and trading hub, this Covered Market project has brought together multiple stakeholders. We are most grateful to Oxford City Council for their commitment to this project, working with James Mackintosh Architects, Cliveden Conservation, Croft Building and Conservation and Gelder Joinery. Once again, a huge thank you goes to the William Delafield Charitable Trust, without whom this project would not exist. Want to know more?

14.05.2004 Sports News The Barreto formula will work (A GNA feature by William Ezah) Accra, May 13, GNA - The decision of a Sekondi High Court to lift the injunction placed on the Ghana Football Association (GFA), that barred it from organising the 2004 Premier League seems to be a soothing news for all football lovers as it has now paved the way for the FA to focus on its programmes for the year. From all indications, the novelty zonal league, which was adopted by the FA due to a delay in the start of the normal league, has been further delayed in its commencement by the court's injunction. It is based on this that many soccer analysts, coaches and administrators have called on the GFA to abandon the zonal league and wait till September for the proper organisation of the league. This proposal is being made because it will afford the nation the opportunity to have a football calendar, which will be in conformity with the European league as well as that of our North African brothers. Though many football lovers have made this proposal before, it was the Black Stars Coach Marriano Barreto, whose view on the topic was given a wider publicity and dubbed the "Barreto Formula." On the other hand, many including the premier league clubs have also argued that "we are not Europeans, therefore, there is no need for the implementation of such a programme", whilst issues of player rustiness, club-player-contract, payment of players salaries among others have been some of the main points which has been used to substantiate this argument. Some have even argued that the system had been tried before but it ended up rendering the players less busy after the completion of the league in the early part of the year. Obviously, these are genuine arguments being advanced by those who want the FA to stick to the zonal league. A critical study of the formula however shows that it is the right solution for Ghana football. This is because the coach's proposal will play a major role in solving some of the numerous problems that have confronted the nation's soccer over the years. It is an undeniable fact that most football loving Ghanaians have been yearning for a league that will be synchronised with the European system for a long time, so as to afford us the opportunity to have a full complement of our foreign and locally based stars for national assignments. To buttress this view, it will be noted that a break in the European league as well as that of Ghana will enable the national coaches have access to their full squad both local and foreign based players, thus bringing to an end the usual issues of "country versus club conflicts" that has bedevilled the beautiful game for sometime now especially in some African countries. This arrangement will surely enhance the performance of our national teams and will go a long way to boost the ranking of the nation at FIFA as well as boost the image of the nation on the international scene. Again, a study of the GFA's programme for the year, reveals that even the novelty zonal league is bound to witness series of breaks when it finally kicks off as the various national teams will soon be engaging in international assignments such as the world cup qualifying series, the Under-17 and Under-20 qualifiers and the Athens Olympic Games. Aside these, the nation's representative in the CAF organised competitions will be very busy with their campaigns in their quest to win laurels for the nation. This will definitely result in series of breaks in the already delayed zonal league and make it unexciting and its overall purpose may be defeated. For sometime now, Ghana's representatives in the CAF competitions have been confronted with the problem of presenting weak teams to CAF for the competitions and this accounts for their failures at various stages in most of the competitions. A completion of the league by the middle of every year according to the "Barreto Formula", will enable the clubs take advantage of it and to embark on quality recruitments to fill some gaps that might be left in the team for the competition due to foreign trials by the players and the decision of some of them to quit their respective clubs at the end of the season. This obviously will enhance the performance of the teams in the competitions since they will be well prepared in terms of materials, physical fitness and other aspects of team building. On the other hand, players suffer all forms of injuries and other related problems because they hardly enjoy any form of rest after each football season. It has also been proven scientifically that players need at least one or two months of rest after every season but this is not the situation in Ghana, as players are kept busy throughout the year without any rest. However, it is apparent that a completion of the league in September will ease the burden of players and match officials because they will have fewer matches to play thereby enjoying adequate rest and preparations for other competitions. The idea might be coming late but it is the best for the nation at this trying moments and it must be adopted once and for all in the best interest of Ghana soccer. The question of naming representatives for the next CAF competitions remains one of the major bothers to this proposal but as stated elsewhere this can be solved through dialogue. The Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) seem to have the desired capacity to handle the issue together with other pertinent problems associated with the synchronisation of the league with the European system. The adoption of the formula might be a difficult decision to take but the nation is at a crucial point and there is the need for sacrifice and a lot of diplomacy in a bid to find an amicable solution to it. This is however not the time to take a look at where the proposal is coming from but to consider it merits and demerits in the interest of Ghana soccer. 10 May 04

He was born Vito Farinola, but he took his mother's name Damone when he entered the entertainment profession. From his earliest childhood Vic was surrounded by love and music. His mother was a piano teacher, and his father played the guitar. He learned to sing "You're Driving Me Crazy" at the age of two, singing to his father's accompaniment. While attending high school, Vic worked as an usher at the New York Paramount Theatre, the mecca of big bands and singing stars. Vic dreamed of the day when he too would sing on stage. One day Perry Como heard him singing in an elevator and encouraged him to study and make singing his career. Years later they became such good friends that Vic's son was named Perry, and Como the boy's godfather. Life has held many surprises for Vic, and the element of fate played an important role in his career. Shortly before his 18th birthday he was acclaimed winner of the popular Arthur Godfrey's "Talent Scouts" program on CBS. As fate would have it, comedian Milton Berle was backstage at the time. He was so impressed with the young man that he extended a helping hand — helping him land an engagement at a top New York nightclub — La Martinique. He was so well received at La Martinique that he was signed to his own radio series on WHN in New York, and within a matter of months was back at the New York Para-mount, but this time as singing star of the show, backed by Stan Kenton's orchestra. His next step up the entertainment ladder was recording. His hits starting in 1947 included "I Have But One Heart," "You're Breaking My Heart," and a dozen others. So, there we have a young singer, under 20 years of age, scoring on records, night club appearances, radio and TV. The next step was motion pictures. The first film was a star-ring role in "Rich, Young And Pretty." More movies followed — "Hell To Eternity," "Athena," and "Deep In Your Heart," and then, just as he was slated for the lead in at least three more pictures with superstardom in his grasp, along came the United States Army where he served for two years. Upon his honorable discharge from military service overseas, Vic made several movies — "Kismet," "Crash Boat," and "Hit The Deck." But he missed singing to a live audience. He missed the intimacy of appearing in night clubs, so he returned to clubs and concerts touring from coast-to-coast. Vic's personal life has been filled with love arid tragedy. While he prefers not to discuss his three unhappy marriages, he does enjoy talking about his lovely daughters—Victoria, Andrea, and Daniella who live with him in Houston, Texas. His son Perry resides in California. Currently, Vic Damone is achieving sustained success internationally in night clubs, concerts and TV guest appearances. His concerts throughout the United States, Great Britain, and Australia have established records in the field. In 1981, for the first time, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) sponsored an American singer in concert. He was presented in famed Prince.Albert Hall in London, and The Dome, in Brighton. He sang before SRO audiences and the concerts were broadcast nationally over BBC. It seems that the British have taken Damone to heart so that his annual concerts are the talk of the British Isles. His 14 concert series in February, 1984 surpassed even his earlier successes. In its smoothness and sensitivity, Mr. Damone's warm lyric baritone comes closer to the velvet, even toned romanticism of the young Frank Sinatra than the voice of any other crooner who grew up in Mr. Sinatra's shadow. In fact, Frank himself once called Vic "the singer with the best vocal equipment in the business.

Home / Company Blog / What Is Lookalike? What Is Lookalike? When talking of advertising, there is warm traffic, when people already know about your business and cold traffic- people that haven't engaged with you before. And clearly, it's important to bring new people from this cold traffic into the sales funnel. Selecting a cold audience on Facebook, you have two options: to use interests and demographics or to use a Facebook Lookalike Audience. Lookalike is very simple and fast to create so let's find out what exactly it is. A lookalike audience is a way to reach new people who are likely to be interested in your business because they're similar to your best existing customers. - says Facebook. Clear enough. Facebook creates an audience relying on your customers' data, you just provide a source audience. You can choose the percentage, so a 1% lookalike will consist of people that most closely match the source audience. This is the most concentrated part of matching users. One of the advantages of lookalike audiences is that they are being updated every 3-7 days so you don't have to keep creating them. To get an idea of how accurate is the Facebook interest categorization, check your own "interests" on Facebook. For this go to the Settings menu, then Ads, and you will see "Your interests". Some of the interests will be highly accurate and correct but still a lot of Facebook's data might be outdated or Ads Manager might have misinterpreted certain signals. So you cannot totally rely on interest categorization. Facebook lookalikes are really quick to create. Click the Business Manager, then the Audiences section, the blue Create Audience button and finally select the Lookalike Audience option. To start creating an audience choose the source audience, country and percentage. It will take about 10 seconds and here it is! These audiences are free to create, so move on and create several audiences of different percentages. What does Facebook use to create these lookalike audiences? - User behavior on Facebook and Facebook services, including activity in groups - Interests - Profile data such as age, gender, and location - Pages liked - Ads clicked on and pixel data There is no exact formula of Facebook lookalike in our mind, but taking into account Facebook's pixel on millions of websites and data in general, combinations of likes, comments, shares and so on, these audiences have to be of real significance. A value-based lookalike audience is based on data generated by the Purchase pixel event. There are two advantages over standard purchase audiences: - Your best and worst customers are sorted by value - The recency of the data and the frequency of purchases are taken into account. Now you are able to combine the value AND recency AND frequency to create an audience. The source audience normally should be at least 1000 people. When you have enough people in your audience you will be able to segment it down to find the most matching. For different countries and regions the percentage of lookalike audience might differ. Just because of the size of these audiences. Sometimes 1% lookalike can be 2 millions and sometimes it's about 40 thousand users. We recommend starting with 1% audiences and later move on to the larger percentages to reach more people. 5 Ways to Make People Click Your Ad Thanks to the Ad Copy

A new report from the Anti-Defamation League says white supremacists have increased their recruitment efforts at colleges like never before under President Trump's watch. According to the ADL, 290 incidents involving posters, banners and other materials featuring racist propaganda were recorded in 2017. In 2016, that number was 56. "White supremacists are targeting college campuses like never before," said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt in a statement. "They see campuses as a fertile recruiting ground, as evident by the unprecedented volume of propagandist activity designed to recruit young people to support their vile ideology." With the report including every institution from Ivy League schools to community colleges, Texas and California saw the most incidents by far in 2017, with 61 and 43 respectively. Pennsylvania is third with 18. However, only six states in the entire country were without any incident. Of all the incidents that have occurred over the last two years, the ADL claims the white supremacist group Identity Evropa was responsible for nearly half of them. Discussing their style of propaganda, the organization says Identity Evropa prefers to avoid messages that are immediately recognizable as hate-filled, instead employing "black and white images of classical sculptures, including Michelangelo's David or Nicolas Coustou's Julius Caesar." Meanwhile, groups that more openly embrace Nazi ideals such as Atomwaffen Division, which has ties to as many as five murders in eight months, "use blatantly violent and offensive imagery like blood-splattered swastikas." Trump has more than struggled to condemn the rise of white supremacists during his time in the White House. On the night of Aug. 11, 2017, when tiki torch-wielding racists marched near the University of Virginia, the usually loquacious Twitter user was silent. The next day, after a morning in which white nationalists clashed with counter-protesters and violence overtook the streets of Charlottesville, Va., Trump finally made a statement on social media, saying, "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!" and later adding, in part, "Charlottesville sad!" In preparation for President Trump's upcoming visit, Identity Evropa members in San Diego went to the Mexican border to check out the wall prototypes and demonstrate against ANY form of amnesty. Tragically, just moments after posting that last message, one of the "alt-right" attendees aimed his vehicle at a crowd of anti-Nazi demonstrators, injuring dozens and taking the life of 32-year-old civil rights activist Heather Heyer. Given the opportunity to address the nation later that day, Trump decided against singling out white supremacists, saying instead, "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides — on many sides." The President has continued to receive support from prominent racists such as former KKK leader David Duke, who just Tuesday lauded the State of the Union address and how it declared, "Americans are dreamers too." Also picking up on that specific line was one of the leaders of the Charlottesville white supremacist rally, Richard Spencer. Thank you President Trump. Americans are "Dreamers" too. After the State of the Union, Spencer tweeted out a picture of a smiling white family along with a caption quoting Trump. Thus far, the ADL says 15 on-campus incidents have already taken place this year.

Students and Social IssuesGender Equity March 5, 2013 • 10:12AM Why Girls Are Outperforming Boys in School By Mary Ellen Flannery All-boy classrooms, more male teachers, and longer hours on the playground — these are often suggested answers to improving male achievement in school and close the gender gap in school. But they're misguided ones that assume all boys have the same needs and that they're different from the needs of girls, said the authors of a new book, The Rise of Women: The Growing Gender Gap in Education and What It Means for American Schools. Instead, what research shows to be helpful for boys—and all kids—is school-wide focus on academic achievement. "Our research shows that boys will compete for good grades and often achieve them in schools where academic effort is expected and valued," said co-author Claudia Buchmann, sociology professor at Ohio State University. It's also very important, she noted, for teachers and parents to make it clear to students that their hard work in middle and high school leads to success in college and well-paid careers. Girls seem to understand this. But boys…not so much. And it's a growing problem for them—and our nation. In 2010, the college completion rate for men was just 27 percent — not much better than it was 40 years ago. But, for women, it was 36 percent, up from 14 percent in 1970. "We've seen astonishing change over a very short period of history," said co-author Thomas DiPrete, a Columbia University sociologist. The road to success in college starts early—and girls have taken the lead from the very start. At every grade, from kindergarten on, girls have better social and behavioral skills than boys, and they earn better grades. But are the girls just plain smarter? No, not according to researchers. Girls and boys have very similar rates of intelligence. But girls do work harder—and their hard work pays off. "It isn't about ability. It's about effort and engagement in school," Buchmann said. Girls are more likely to say they like school and that good grades are important to them. And their motivation translates into effort: Girls are more likely than boys to spend time studying. "Success in academics, like success in sports, requires a big investment in time and effort. The more you practice, the better you become," Buchmann said. Boys, on the other hand, are more likely to say that they're going to make a lot of money even without education. They're overly optimistic. And the problem is worse for boys with less-educated fathers. They're even less likely to get good grades or graduate from high school. "They may hold out-dated views of masculinity—that it's more about physical strength," said Buchmann. The consequences for men are clear: You need a college diploma to get a well-paid job these days. And folks without degrees are twice as likely to be unemployed in today's economy. "Men's failure to get more education limits income gains for them and their families," said DiPrete. What's more, it also is slowing the nation's economic growth, he added. The United States is falling behind other nations in terms of college completion, and the small number of male college graduates is a key contributor to the problem. Of course, women still have to overcome obstacles. They still earn less money: an average 82 cents for every dollar earned by a man. And they're still too often closed out of science and technology fields. "Men and women still largely educate themselves in different fields—with dramatic consequences across their lifetimes," said Philip Cohen, a University of Maryland-College Park professor of sociology. But the strategies that work best with boys would also work well for women, the researchers said. "Schools should set high expectations, and treat students as individuals…not part of a gendered group," Buchmann said. "These same reforms will also help girls."

As we close the first month of the year, my music therapy community concludes a month-long drive to spread awareness through social media channels. I don't talk too much about music therapy on here, but I would be remiss if I didn't continue to share what lights me up about music therapy. I am currently working in a teen recovery center that has a boys home, a girls home, and an intensive outpatient school for kids transitioning back into life after a stay at one of the homes. Where does music therapy fit in with addiction recovery? Well, first, let's get straight about what addiction is. It's a neurological disease the features a breakdown in the reward system in the brain. Often triggered through a combination of genetic predisposition and trauma, addiction is a conundrum because 1) there is no simple test to differentiate an abuser from an addict, 2) and the recovery is patient-generated. It still lives in our culture under a veil of morality i.e. people who fall to addiction may be judged as having 'poor moral fiber.' This is relevant, because the shame that addicts often feel hinders their ability to seek treatment to get healthy. Before treatment, whatever the drug or behavior of choice may be becomes the default response for how to deal with the feelings associated with life, and the cravings associated with addiction. Remember the TV show "Family Feud?" Remember "The Number One Answer?" That's how the brain responds. Happy? Use. Sad? Use. Lonely? Use. Angry? Use. Bored? Use… and so on. … and that's where I come in. Can you imagine 6 teenage boys sitting in a circle trying to articulate their feelings? Seriously. Think about your feelings. They are emotions in action… e-motion… energy in motion… swirling around the mind and body. Do they have words? Not exactly… not until we try to MAP a word or phrase over them to try to match. What if you don't have a word to describe how or what you are feeling? Are you still feeling? HECK YES, right? Imagine those teenage boys' feelings trying to 'get out'… be expressed, but they are trapped inside because they boy lacks a word to map over it… so it remains stuck inside… festering. Language is like a toll-booth for emotional expression. It's as if the emotion must pass through the toll booth of language before it is allowed to exit the body. Well, I say FORGET all that. My mantra is, "If you can't say it, PLAY IT." You should SEE the boys play their drums… and just because girls seem to have a better knack for articulating, don't think they don't lay into 'em either. Just giving them ALL a NEW AVENUE for their swirling emotions and feelings to travel down and out of their minds and bodies… it is so cathartic! One boy told me recently, "Sometimes I don't even KNOW what I'm feeling UNTIL I hit a drum. Then, I listen to how I am playing and realize, 'hey, I'm really angry right now… listen to how hard I'm playing!'" That was from a 15 yr old boy with a history of anger management issues. It is SO GREAT to watch these young men and women who are pretty much learning how to emotionally regulate all over again utilize this tool so eagerly. Because pretty much every kid coming into treatment already has a prior, personal, and powerful relationship to music… I don't have to introduce them to anything 'new.' They may not know me, but they know - and MUCH more importantly - TRUST - music. Music is such a wonderful tool. You can use it in so many different ways from preemies to those in hospice and everywhere in between. Our field is still extremely small, but as we continue to see good solid research validating why music works so powerfully on the brain, I feel that music therapy is poised to takes its rightful place in the allied health landscape that includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech/language therapy. My 30 year vision is that when I'm 71, music therapy will be spoken of with the same level of understanding as physical therapy. My hope is that this tipping point occurs much sooner than that, but I EXPECT it to have already occurred before I see 72! Have you witnessed music therapy in action before? Where? Please Comment! There are those who will be touched by music therapy in 2014 no matter what I do. There are those who won't be touched by music therapy in 2014 no matter what I do. But, there are those who will only be touched by music therapy in 2014 as a result of the expansion of the students I'll be training (along with my biz partner Kat Fulton). And those people are who I am fighting for this year. Who or what am I fighting? Tapes like, "You don't have enough experience to teach others. What could they POSSIBLY learn from you? Or this one, "When others figure out that you're still struggling in your business, they'll think you're a fraud and expose you to the world for what you really are." Kat and my coaches call these voices our inner 'gremlins,' and apparently, we've all got 'em, and they are NOT very nice! Tomorrow morning, our new FB group begins where we drop a little nugget of information or inspiration every business day for the rest of the year. We have about 63 or so 'students' (could be students, interns, or professionals) who have 'enrolled' in our group and payed their $1 trial to check us out. Now, it's time to deliver the value. I'm up first. I'll be posting a short article on core values in the morning, and I imagine that maybe this is what a college professor or teacher feels like the night before the first day of school when they are teaching a class or course for the first time. My inner gremlins officially kicked into HIGH GEAR at about 6pm tonight and haven't let up. I have a headache, neck ache… my heart is pounding. Luckily I played soccer today, so my body is POOPED OUT… hopefully pooped out enough to make me sleep through the night. We did a commitment exercise, and it was another visualization exercise where at one point, my hands were open in that same "I am worthy" position I talked about last week, and little strands of light were shooting out of my fingertips and coming back into my fingertips like one of those orbs at "The Sharper Image" where you touch it and electricity connects the center of the orb to your finger tip. The light was shooting out of the room and reaching that strata of music therapy recipients I described above… the ones that were going to be reached this year because a whole GROUP of music therapists are going to get really clear on their business skills and reach a lot more clients this year. I could visualize them on a map almost, and their energy was dancing back to me and vice versa, all through my fingertips. It was exciting, because these are people I'll never meet and never know personally, but through teaching, training, and coaching, their lives will be impacted nonetheless! That's an honor to be a part of. Then we had to pretend we had a stake in our hand and that it represented our commitment to our vision, and we had to imagine planting it in the ground. Well, I had a flag pole in my hand, and the flag that was on it was our EMPOWER U ACADEMY social medial button, which was designed to look like a school crest. I held it up over my head to thrust it in the ground, and as I looked up over my head in my mind's eye, I saw again Bella and my dad cheering me on to PLANT THAT PUPPY DEEP IN THE GROUND! So when I thrust that virtual flag pole into the ground I feel like the ripple of energy reached the earth's core! It was an intense experience. Then, I leaned my cheek against this virtual flag pole, and rested against it, knowing that if at any time during the journey ahead, the gremlins start attacking, or I start fading, I can just lean against that flag and know it isn't moving. When I opened my eyes, I had tears streaming down my cheeks, and when I turned and looked at the young woman next to me, she did too. Apparently she had her own intense moment, and without saying a word, we just gave each other a big hug of support. I never saw her again, and I never spoke a word, but the support I felt (and gave) just in a hug was so heartfelt, so authentic, it was a treat. So, this is the game for me in 2014. Empower U Academy. Where we teach vital business and personal development skills to other therapists and clinicians so they can help more people, make more money, and have the effect on the world they envisioned when they set their own course. There's more to catch up on, but luckily, I'm feeling spent. I'm gonna try to dive into bed before I get an unfortunate second wind! God night and God bless. January 13, 2014: Road Trip! Sorry I missed posting last night. I just got home today from an epic road trip to a seminar in northern California. I honestly can't remember how much I've shared if any about the new venture I'm undertaking in 2014, but this weekend was a seminal moment in its development, and a huge breakthrough weekend for me personally. One thing I love is that no matter what I've been through, what books I've read, courses I've taken, etc, there is always another level to the game of life. That is what makes it so endlessly beautiful! I have been working on my own personal growth throughout my life; I remember going on church retreats in high school, wilderness school, heck, even Boy Scout camp was personal development. I remember being deathly afraid of water I couldn't see in (ponds, lakes, oceans). In fact, I'm still afraid. However, I purposefully took canoeing merit badge, because as part of the badge, I had to swamp my canoe in the middle of the lake, then get back in it and paddle it back to shore still submerged. I still remember my heart pounding in my chest throughout the whole experience, but I also remember the feeling of adrenaline when I reached the shore. I was 13. Now, I'm 41, and I'm still as committed to having those same breakthroughs as ever, and this weekend, I had not one, but two. My business partner, Kat Fulton, and I have started a new venture called Empower U Academy where we teach business skills to clinicians, therapists, and professionals who have degrees in helping people, but never got the skills to learn how to get paid to help people. We have been teaching these skills to our fellow music therapists for the past 4 years at conferences and online, and now we want to help an even wider group help even more people. So we went to San Francisco to a 2-day seminar put on by a company called - interestingly enough - Thrive Academy. We thought we were simply coach shopping; we were looking into a couple of different business coaches to help us launch our new venture this year, but we found much more. There were two breakthrough exercises that we did that left nothing to question about the new year. In the first, we had to think of what our main disempowering belief about our selves was. Mine was, "I don't deserve to be successful." Then we had to hold our chair up in front of us with our eyes closed and imagine that the chair were bars from a prison cell that we had sentenced ourselves to as a result of this belief. From that cell, in my mind I could see all the people I have touched, helped, served, and treated over the years from either coaching, speaking, performing or treating. There was an army of people amassed all looking at me in my cell, and they were all very confused. They were asking each other, "Why is he in there?" and when they found out that I put myself in there, they were baffled, confused, and stunned. The peace and humility that accompanied the statement calmed every cell in my body, and I felt a stillness and peace throughout my entire being the likes of which I'm not sure if I've ever felt before. It was so calm. When I got back to my hotel room afterward, I walked in, looked over at the mirror, and froze. I didn't quite recognize myself. I saw a different person. I saw a man. A happy, peaceful, loving man. It was weird! I tried to snap a picture to see if I could capture the moment, but the camera didn't capture what I was seeing in the mirror. It was genuinely like I was looking at someone else, not me… and I really liked the guy I was looking at. I'll tell you about experience number 2 next week; I am drained. However, before I go, want to close by saying that if you work for yourself and your purpose is to help treat others, Kat and I are giving a FREE online class tomorrow evening on 4 key tools every owner/clinician needs if you want to have your best year ever. We're giving away a few gifts on the webinar as well! Please, if that would benefit you, come over! Just go to our website and sign up, and hang out with us online! If you can't make it live, we'll give you a link to the replay, but only if you sign up. We have something FUN cooked up for the new year! Just CLICK HERE to head on over to our site to reserve your spot, and we look forward to serving you tomorrow. January 5, 2014: Happy New Year! Ang and I started the new year off by reconvening in our FB group: 12 by 2/1. If you're like me, and you gained some holiday weight, and you want to shed that weight, and you want to have a supportive community cheer you on, come find us on FB! If you request to join, I'll add you to the group! Just type in "12 by 2/1" in the search bar. The name comes from the goal I had last January of losing 12 pounds by Feb 1st. I just threw the idea up on FB one night to see if anyone else wanted to lose their holiday weight together, and 30 something members later, we got a great group that is totally supportive and seeing progress and posting it! It's fun, and I know it works. The whole reason I didn't reach for a beer today was because I didn't want to post that I had a beer! Social accountability can be a beautiful thing! This week rings in the non-stop pace of the fall as well. Ali returns to school tomorrow, Ang gets on another plane till Thursday, and I travel Fri-Mon. No grass growin' under any feet over here. Still, I'm starting the year super grateful for the past 3 weeks. Ali's been home from school, and mommy was home for all but 2 of those days. It felt really great reconnecting and spending so much time together. Perhaps the biggest news of all was watching (and smelling) Julian go poop on the potty tonight! LOL. We have been reading to that little guy on the potty for who-knows-how-long now, and at one point tonight, he pooped while I was reading to him, but then, not too long after, he went into the bathroom, got himself a book to read (no joke) and made a giant poop all by himself! He also peed through 3 pairs of underpants along the way, but hey, that's progress! Tim's Speech in Washington D.C. Anabella Ringgold was born on May 27, 2009 with a rare skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. She had the rarest form, called Recessive Dystrophic, or RDEB for short. A single gene in her body responsible for making the anchor that hold her skin to her body was defective. This caused blisters and wounds to occur all over her body, including her mouth and entire GI tract. Any kind of friction, rubbing, bumping caused blisters to form, or it caused her skin to shear clean off. Life expectancy is under 20 years due to risk of malnutrition, infection, or squamous cell carcinoma. Although pain and discomfort was constant, Bella remained bright and cheerful, bless her heart. Though currently there is no cure for EB, Bella took place in a clinical trial at the U. of Minnesota where through Bone Marrow Transplantation, she grew her sister's skin on her body over time. Unfortunately, she died from complications of transplant on October 11, 2010. This is her story, and our story of how we cope as a family with the journey we are on together.

GIG REVIEW: Olly Murs Welcome to UK Music Reviews » GIG REVIEW: Olly Murs Categories: Gig Reviews Olly Murs performing at Sherwood Pines Mansfield on Friday 23rd June 2017. Images and Review by Kevin Cooper In a week that saw the searing heat break all weather records, it was a cold, damp and windy night that welcomed Essex boy Olly Murs to Sherwood Pines last night. In the beautiful Forestry Commission setting it was 2015 X Factor winner, Louisa Johnson who opened the first of three concerts taking place over this weekend. Welcoming a crowd of adults and children, her soaring voice immediately engaged as she owned the stage with her single releases, Best Behaviour and So Good. Proving that she is a class act with Forever Young she then handed over the stage to the star of the night. Love or loathe Olly Murs, what he does have in bundles is a natural charm and an endearing cockiness. With no fancy visuals or pyrotechnics as evidenced when he came to the Motorpoint Arena in March this year, the crowd right at the back were able to see every bum wiggle and pout with the aid of the backdrop screen as he opened with the lively You Don't Know Love. Delivering a set list of fun filled showmanship with strokes of laddish behaviour, dad dancing and chart toppers such as Wrapped Up and Grow Up, he entertained from the off. Running around the stage he is the consummate performer making sure that everyone in his audience is having as much fun as he clearly is. With a voice that reached all parts of the forest he treated his fans to the lovely ballad, Up, which came after talk of heartbreak which was followed by some outrageous flirting with the ladies. Informing them that he was single and that he had renamed the tour 'The Find A Girlfriend Tour 2017', there was no shortage of volunteers to fill the vacancy. With Back Around morphing into Tina Turner's What's Love Got To do With It, there was plenty of opportunity to have a dance, and when Louisa Johnson joined him on the stage for his latest single, Unpredictable, there was a mass sing along from the adoring crowd. There was an old school music segment with KC & The Sunshine Band's That's The Way (I Like It), Luther Vandross' Never Too Much and MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This along with She's Got That Vibe, Can't Stop The Feeling as well as Jump Around which for a very entertaining ten minutes, the crowd did just that. With a very talented band and brilliant backing singers he wrapped things up with Dance With Me Tonight and an arm waving rendition of Years And Years. Murs had delivered 90 minutes of high energy, pure pop fun that was never less than entertaining and eight years after his X Factor days, it's still a 'Yes' from Sherwood Pines.

RAM HANUMAN MANDIR NOIDA G.B. NAGAR AND OTHERS versus G.D. EDUCATION SOCIETY ANOTHER Ram Hanuman Mandir Noida G.B. Nagar And Others v. G.D. Education Society Another - WRIT - C No. 34700 of 2006 [2006] RD-AH 11125 (7 July 2006) Court No. 23 Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 34700 of 2006 Shri Ram Hanuman Mandir & others Vs. G.D. Education Society & another Hon'ble Umeshwar Pandey, J. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. Petitioner No. 1 is a deity of Hanuman Mandir in the presented suit. Petitioners No. 2 and 3 are Pujari and Manager of the said temple. The plaintiffs filed suit in the year 2003 for permanent injunction against the defendants to restrain them from demolishing or otherwise harming structure of temple and making encroachment therein. Along with the suit they also moved the court with a prayer of temporary injunction, but the trial court on that application directed issuance of notices to the defendants against which the plaintiffs-petitioners preferred a revision under Section 115 Cr.P.C. before the District Judge. The District Judge had granted an exparte injunction order in the said revision and the same continued till the date the revision was disposed of. The revision has been dismissed, vide the impugned order dated 24.5.2006 (Annexure-6 to the writ petition). The learned counsel contends that the idea of constructing a temple was mooted by the previous Management of the respondents Society for which a small piece of land was earmarked in the portion of the plot allotted to the Society by the NOIDA. With the help of the Society as well as the general public this construction of the temple was raised in which different Hindu 'Deotas' statues were installed and consecrated through religious ceremony. Now after the management of the Society has changed, the disputed construction of the temple which is now a temple open to the general public, is threatened for demolition and encroachment and it gave occasion to the petitioners to seek this relief. The exparte injunction granted by the revisional court has been continuing and now since the said revision has been dismissed, the respondents-defendants would demolish the temple at any moment if they are not so restrained by the Court. From the aforesaid submissions and from the documents filed on record, it is evident that the temporary injunction application is still pending disposal before the trial court. The revisional court has not given any finding on the merits of the matter. The learned counsel states that so far the respondents have not submitted their counter affidavit before the trial court, therefore, while disposing of the writ petition, it is hereby directed that the trial court would take up the temporary injunction application of the petitioners after obtaining counter and rejoinder affidavits in the case and decide it within a period of one month hereinafter positively without affording any adjournment to either of the parties. Till the expiry of this period of one month, the respondents, however, would not demolish or damage the temple nor they would encroach upon the land under occupation of the said temple. This stay order shall not continue after expiry of the said period. SUA/34700-06

January 7, 2019, June 10, 2019, October 24, 2019, June 8, 2020, October 26, 2020, June 7, 2021, October 25, 2021, by 5:00 PM local time of applicant organization. All types of non-AIDS applications allowed for this funding opportunity announcement are due on these dates. To address this significant public health concern, the NIH investment into discovery research has contributed to unprecedented opportunities to translate scientific advances into better treatments. Gene therapy and related approaches are an example of opportunities that have resulted from technological advances. However, to evaluate such potentially transformative treatments, researchers, biopharmaceutical companies, and regulators need high quality, natural history data, as well as biological and clinical outcome measures fit for the intended purpose. The absence of such information often represents a bottleneck in therapy development for many rare diseases. Validation – A process to establish that the performance of a test, tool, or instrument is acceptable for its intended purpose. For this FOA, the intended purpose should be the collection of data in a clinical trial that will be used to determine whether to move forward with the intervention being tested to a later stage trial or for regulatory approval. Applications to this FOA should focus on clinical validation. Biochemical and molecular biomarkers should have substantial data supporting analytical validation collected prior to submission of an application to this FOA. The proposed studies should have a research question able to be addressed within the defined timeline. The projects should not include clinical trials. If considering clinical trials, then please reference the NCATS website for other open opportunities. Projects appropriate for this initiative need not be high risk/high reward studies; however, they should advance the field by facilitating clinical trial readiness through the development of missing components that are essential for rigorous clinical trials. Projects should be distinct from those supported through the traditional R01 mechanism and should have a broader scope than those suited for an R03. 1) Those that define the presentation and course of the rare disease (e.g., natural history studies including retrospective projects, and longitudinal or cross-sectional approaches), in ways that are essential for the design of upcoming clinical trials. This FOA will support applications for testing of biomarkers or outcome measures so that they are ready for use in multi-site studies. Biochemical or molecular biomarkers should include justification that describes accuracy, precision, analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity including interfering substances, dynamic range, and expected normal values. For imaging, radiological, or physiological biomarkers, the justification should provide preliminary data on the accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity as determined by study of a patient cohort (but not necessarily in the same rare disease). An appropriate study could start with a small manageable set of candidate biomarkers, and based on data acquired during the study, be narrowed down to one or a few appropriate biomarkers for use in a clinical trial. Studies to develop or incorporate patient-reported or patient-centered outcomes. Studies evaluating the responsiveness of biomarkers or COAs through the observation of patients who are receiving treatment as part of their clinical care. Applications can request budgets that are up to $275,000 direct costs for the 2-year project period of the award. No more than $200,000 direct costs may be requested in any single year. Applications may request no more than 2 years. Need for Clinical Trial Readiness - The Significance section of the Research Strategy should also include a subsection with the heading "Urgent Need for Clinical Trial Readiness". This subsection should describe the need for conducting the trial readiness study at this time. Applicants should describe the clinical trial design issues (e.g., biomarker or COA validation or qualification, data for power calculations, defining inclusion/exclusion criteria, determining the duration of the trial, etc.) that will be addressed by this trial readiness study. Describe the potential impact of the proposed studies in addressing significant needs in the design and increasing the likelihood of success of upcoming clinical trials. Projects appropriate for this initiative need not be high risk/high reward studies; however, they should advance the field by facilitating clinical trial readiness through the development of missing components that are essential for rigorous clinical trials. How is this project moving the field forward and making a difference for clinical trials? How likely are the proposed studies to establish clinically validated biomarkers and/or COA measures with well-defined contexts of use, or to fill gaps in understanding the disease natural history that are currently obstacles for the design of upcoming clinical trials? As appropriate, how clearly does the application describe the COU of the biomarker or outcome measure such that it will enable the design of upcoming clinical trials? For studies that are ancillary to an ongoing clinical trial or longitudinal study, how will it advance the design of future trials beyond that of the parent study? How will the additional burden of the ancillary study affect the participants in the parent study? How well does the consent obtained for participation in the parent study relate to consent for the ancillary study? How well characterized are the assays for biochemical or molecular biomarkers in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, selectivity, dynamic range, and expected normal values? How well optimized and ready for implementation in a multi-site study are the methods for measuring imaging, radiological or physiological biomarkers, and/or COAs?

Plastic or vinyl windows are extremely popular, first, because of their tremendous energy efficiency, and second because of their affordability and the minimal maintenance they require. Unlike wood windows, which need to be repainted frequently to keep them in tip-top shape, there's no regular upkeep required for plastic windows, other than the occasional cleaning. But because painting isn't necessary for plastic windows, the color you order is also the color you'll most likely have until you replace the windows many years in the future. That said, painting is a possibility, but requires plenty of prep work for quality results. Because traditional colors like white and off-white can work with most color schemes, these are the top plastic windows colors. White or off-white plastic window colors can look terrific with most home designs, and depending on the style of the window, can have either a very traditional or a very modern appeal. As vinyl or plastic windows become more and more popular, however, the demand for a greater range of colors has increased. This means that nowadays plastic window colors have expanded beyond white and other neutrals to include colors like brick red, black, hunter green, desert sand, architectural bronze, and even woodgrain. While the top plastic windows colors have expanded beyond white and neutrals, the most popular plastic windows are still fairly traditional colors. But if you're not exactly the traditional type, the good news is that custom-colored plastic windows are now available. So the real answer to the question "What colors do plastic windows come in?" is "What color would you like?"

Neepawa Natives' Metcalf named Recycle Everywhere MJHL Player of the Week Neepawa Natives have made the MJHL playoffs for the first time in seven seasons, thanks in large part to the outstanding play of Justin Metcalf, who has been named this week's Recycle Everywhere MJHL Player of the Week. Metcalf, 19, recorded eight points (4-4) in the final four games of the regular season. Three of those four games were Neepawa wins, helping the club secure the eighth and final playoff berth. Natives will now face Steinbach Pistons in their best-of-seven, quarter final series. Metcalf, who hails from Winnipeg, had three, multi-point games and was twice named a game star. He also finished first in the Natives' scoring race with 38 goals and 67 points in 59 games. The runners up are 20 year old forward Cole McCartan of the Selkirk Steelers and 20 year old goaltender Roman Bengert of the Steinbach Pistons.

Bully-boy pro lifers stake out prime minister's home - shameful tactics do nothing but fuel anger in abortion debate Daniel O'Carroll Enda Kenny: Irish Taoiseach target of aggressive abuse over abortion legislation. Pro life campaigners aggrieved at proposed legislation which would legalize abortion under limited circumstances have been mounting a vitriolic campaign of abuse against Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kenny in recent weeks. In doing so they have seriously undermined the cause they profess to serve and sustained images of a vigilante mob attempting to suppress dissenting views through crude intimidation. The latest in a series of disquieting incidents has seen masked men campaigning outside the Castlebar home of the Taoiseach while his wife and son were at home yesterday before being removed by police. Earlier that day, Kenny was repeatedly heckled as he tried to conduct an opening ceremony at a completely unrelated commemoration ceremony in County Longford where he faced charges that he was proposing to "kill the unborn" in supporting the Bill. Last week he disclosed to the Dáil how he had received letter written in blood, sarcastic medals, plastic fetuses, and medical scapulars as result of the legislation, now in draft stage, which would allow abortions to be performed where the mother's life was in imminent danger as a result of the pregnancy. Despite Kenny's fervent Catholicism, he has sustained his mantra that "my book is the Constitution" and has refused to back down in the face of the often unsavory methodologies being employed by those opposed to the passage of the Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill. Other politicians have been similarly inundated with phone calls from both legitimate pro-life lobbyists and more dubious vigilante crooks. One politician described the concerted effort as a programme of "widespread intimidation", saying that politicians had been spat at and people had been turning up at their homes at unusual hours in desperate attempts to convince them to vote against the proposals. One female TD, allegedly, received a threat that her throat would be cut. should she vote with the government. Each TD (member of parliament) is estimated to be receiving 50 telephone calls a week from those opposed to the idea -- a relatively vast volume in a country with a comparatively small tradition of organized political lobbying. Last December the communications regulator was forced to intervene after members of the public reported a spate of automated telephone calls beseeching them to lobby their TDs to oppose the Bill. The 'robo calls' were accompanied by graphic anti-abortion posters, some targeting individual TDs. Those opposing the legislation are usually referred to as the 'pro-life' movement and comprise a broad swathe of religious Catholic voters as well as those opposed to the idea of any kind of abortion on atheist moral grounds. They either argue that any kind of abortion is tantamount to murder or that the legislation is the first step on a road towards abortion on demand. 'Pro choice' activists, the legislation's proponents, support a woman's right to chose to have an abortion or not. The legislation represents the government's decision to legislate on the X case after the untimely demise of Savita Halappanavar. The hospital patient died of complications following doctors' refusal to grant her an abortion. While pro life activists' views resonate with a significant proportion of the population, even many of their supporters would question the propriety of intimidating members of the Taoiseach's family at their private home. On the rare occasions where protests do take place outside a politician's family dwelling -- such as a similar anti-abortion demonstration outside Justice Minister Alan Shatter's private residence -- they are usually roundly condemned; I believe rightly so. Making a case against abortion is a perfectly legitimate activity and on such a divisive issue was guaranteed to happen. But resorting to the kind of sustained intimidation leveled against public representatives in recent weeks generates endless negative PR for the pro-life campaign and casts them in the prototypical role of agents of the controlling Catholic church which dominated the Ireland of yesteryear. Leader of the opposition party Fianna Fáil's decision to remove his party's whip system for the vote (effectively, allowing TDs to vote with their conscience and contravene party policy without the prospect of consequences) was an inspired move which removes personal responsibility accruing to TDs and ensures that they won't be forced to compromise their religious beliefs on the issue. Hopefully the party's representatives as well as those voting along party lines can cast their ballot without having suffered through such abuse. (Correction: Subsequent to this post being sent for publication, a fathers' rights group, not affiliated with the pro life movement, claimed responsibility for the protest.)

Kanta is currently upgrading the 10-story Bronx Family Criminal Court's electrical infrastructure, including a new standby emergency system. The project, slated to take place over three years, is scheduled to be completed on or before its initially projected date of completion. Currently under construction, Kanta Electric plays a key role in the development of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center. As a cornerstone of CUNY's "Decade of Science," Kanta's emphasis on safety, dependability professionalism earned it this elusive contract. Kanta Electric partnered with Turner Construction to provide comprehensive electrical solutions in the design of Brooklyn Bridge Park. The public space, which utilizes such energy-saving measures as dimmable lighting and control capacity, turned to Kanta for its expertise in the growing field of green design. Kanta completed the job on time and under budget. Slated for completion in August 2015, Kanta Electric is currently in partnership with DASNY (The Dormitory Authority of New York) in the redevelopment of the Bronx Psychiatric Center. With DASNY, Kanta is focused on providing the power needed to run the project's state of the art facilities with a particular emphasis on efficiency and sustainability. This year, Kanta successfully completed comprehensive underground electrical power work for the Goethals Bridge. The contract was completed on time and continues to help power this 84 year-old cornerstone of New York transportation and infrastructure. Kanta recently completed a building-wide fire alarm system upgrade for Brooklyn College's prestigious and historic Butler library on the Brooklyn College campus in Brooklyn, New York. Kanta Electric played a vital role in the construction of 2 Gotham Center – a flagship property in New York City's fourth largest business district. The building, currently under construction in Long Island City, replaces the unused Queens Plaza Municipal Parking Garage with a state of the art, mixed use office facility powered by Kanta's cutting-edge electrical solutions. For this project for American Airlines, Kanta installed a state-of-the-art emergency generator system throughout American Airline's entire terminal. Kanta's superior work contributes to JFK Airport's reputation as an iconic destination for travelers across the world. Based on my previous experience working with numerous contractors, I have found Kanta Electric's work to be of high quality. We worked closely together with Mr. Prakash Kapadia.

The Essential Eight Maturity Model The Essential Eight Maturity Model is a framework for achieving cybersecurity goals and mitigating security risks, but it's surprising how many businesses don't implement this correctly or have yet to implement them at all. While it is a carefully developed level system based on a list of eight key aspects of modern cybersecurity, it's easy for businesses to feel overwhelmed and confused on how to achieve the maximum level of security they seek. By partnering with Invotec, your business will be well equipped on how to identify, review, and implement reliable cybersecurity measures. Leaving Nothing Up to Chance Many business owners and managers treat cybersecurity as a "set and forget" aspect of their technology, wrongly assuming that a basic set of security technologies will be enough to keep them safe without further intervention. It's assumptions like this that lead to malicious intrusions and data breaches. Cybercrime methodology evolves at a staggering rate with new attack vectors being discovered every day, meaning security systems left unreviewed will quickly get left behind. No matter how confident you are in your cybersecurity, having a system and a strategy to rely on when the inevitable happens is a vital part of cybersecurity. Preferably a system like the Essential Eight Maturity Model. What is the Essential Eight Maturity Model? The Essential Eight Maturity Model is a set of prioritized mitigation strategies developed by the Australian Cyber Security Centre to assist businesses in addressing and eliminating cybersecurity vulnerabilities. These strategies are drawn from the Strategies to Mitigate Cyber Security Incidents, the main ones being the Essential Eight. In short, it's a rather simple rubric that you can follow to make sure that all your bases are covered when it comes to cybersecurity. In addition to listing the technical aspects of cybersecurity that you should address and verify, it also provides a system by which to rate your adherence to the system. The "maturity" portion of the model refers to the three maturity levels it is based on. Meant to help businesses better track how well they are following the Essential Eight Maturity Model, these levels are clearly defined in line with each of the Eight strategies. The maturity level definitions are as follows: Maturity Level One: Partly aligned with the intent of mitigation strategy. Maturity Level Two: Mostly aligned with the intent of mitigation strategy. Maturity Level Three: Fully aligned with the intent of mitigation strategy. It's important to remember that depending on the size of your business and the industry you operate in, the frequency, severity, and type of risks you encounter can vary greatly. In those cases, you may very well move from one maturity level to another over time, and as such, will require more regular updating. Addressing the most vital components of a strong cybersecurity defence, the Essential Eight Maturity Model includes the following: Application Whitelisting Application whitelisting is the practice of specifying an index of approved software applications that are permitted to be present and active on a computer system. The goal of whitelisting is to protect computers and networks from potentially harmful Application Patching Many of the most common malware and viruses used by cybercriminals today are based on exploiting programming flaws; to address this, developers regularly release software patches and updates to fix those flaws and protect the users. That's why regular patching is such an important part of cybersecurity. Furthermore, each level also requires that end of life applications (those that are no longer receiving vendor support such as updates, and patches) are updated or replaced with vendor-supported alternatives. Configuration of Microsoft Office Macro Settings A macro is a series of commands and instructions that you group together as a single command to accomplish a task automatically. These can be very convenient for users that want to eliminate repetitious or tedious work. However, because macros deploy an automated series of commands, they are also used by cybercriminals to execute tasks on a target's system. That's why there needs to be strict control applied to how macros are allowed to execute. User Application Hardening This is the security practice of only allowing necessary (and safe) areas of a given application to run. This is done to prevent conventionally unsafe browser-based plug-ins such as Java and Flash from compromising a user's systems. Restriction of Administrator Privileges Administrator privileges allow certain users with privileged access to applications, controls and sensitive data. In a poorly secured IT environment, it's not uncommon to find that all users have Administrative Privileges, which is a major security risk. All three Maturity Levels require the implementation of security controls to prevent privileged users from reading emails, browsing the web and downloading files from online services. Patching Operating Systems Similar to application patching, operating systems must be patched as well to make sure that identified security vulnerabilities are not left open for cybercriminals to exploit. Furthermore, each level requires that end of life operating systems (those that are no longer receiving vendor support such as updates and patches) are updated or replaced with vendor-supported alternatives. Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a superior way to keep your data more secure. MFA requires the user to utilize two methods to confirm that they are the rightful account owner. In Level 2 & 3, it further requires that MFA is implemented to authenticate all privileged users and any other positions of trust. However, in Level 3, it is required that MFA is used to authenticate all users when accessing important data repositories. Backups are a process by which local data is replicated and stored in a secure offsite location, to protect against permanent data loss. Today, this is often done automatically, via the cloud. Taken all at once, this may seem like a lot to manage on your own. If you're unsure of how to undertake this process, you should consult Invotec for assistance. Regardless, the best part of security frameworks like the Essential Eight Maturity Model is that once you reach Level 3 Maturity, much of the processes are automated, redundant, and provide fail-safes. While it may take time, effort and other resources to get there, even Level 1 Maturity provides a degree of confidence in your cybersecurity. Like this article?

Q: Force page refresh and jump to a #section It seems that I must be missing something completely elementary. What I'm trying to achieve looks like quite a common case, and so it makes me wonder why there is no straightforward way. The problem is that I would like to refresh the current page from JavaScript and simultaneously land on a #section. If I do simply: document.location.href = document.location.href + "#section"; all browsers I tested just scroll to that #section (no reload). It makes sense in a way. Just for completeness, if I do document.location.assign(document.location.href + "#section"); it does the same thing (not surprisingly; it boils down internally to the same function for sure). Finally, the document object seems to have also the document.reload() function which takes an optional boolean argument specifying whether I want to force the reload, but obviously, it does not allow to specify the #section. The only way I could find (using these methods) was the following combination: document.location.assign(document.location.href + "#section"); document.location.reload(); But it is not ideal, because as you have probably guessed, it scrolls and then reloads which causes the browser to actually scroll three times in the end. I know that there are ways around it: server side redirect or adding some unique random query string parameter, but it seems strange that there is no simple way. A: That is the "hash" value of the location object. You need to set it like this... location.hash = "#section"; If that does not work consistently, you might want to consider using a scrollToElement function... function scrollToElement(elem) { if(typeof elem == 'string') elem = document.getElementById(elemId); var top = 0; if(elem) { if(elem.offsetParent) { top = elem.offsetTop; while(elem = elem.offsetParent) { top += elem.offsetTop; } } window.scrollTo(0, top); } } If you absolutely need a page reload (not sure why you ever would), try opening a window in itself... window.open(location.href + '#section', '_top'); Or try replace... location.replace(location.href + '#section'); A: There is a much much simpler solution: if (document.location.href.match(/[?]/)) document.location.href = document.location.href + '&fake_param=' + Math.random() + '#section' ; else document.location.href = document.location.href + '?fake_param=' + Math.random() + '#section' ;

Home/Secondary schools (6-12), Staff/Tranquility garden coming to Fort Vancouver High School Tranquility garden coming to Fort Vancouver High School First photo, from left: Kenny Perez, RK Cheipot, Alexander Flores, Amaya Hall and Danny Duarte worked to remove soil. Second photo: Grounds Equipment Operator Gary Brumitt operates a loader to move the dirt from the courtyard. Horticulture students, teacher leading the effort New life is coming to the small, unused courtyard to the east of the main entrance at the Fort Vancouver High School Center for International Studies. Horticulture students and teacher Toree Hiebert plan to revamp the space into a tranquility garden that will represent the student body's many cultures and include student artwork. Last year, the horticulture program received a $5,000 grant from the Foundation for Vancouver Public Schools. Students began to develop a plan for the space, gathering input from their peers and staff members. They also worked with professional landscape architect Jane Tesner Kleiner to refine their vision. "I want our school to look cleaner, and be more of a place where it's a good environment," said junior Kenny Perez. On Dec. 11, students began to make the tranquility garden a reality by removing existing dirt to make way for additional site preparations. The students worked with the facility support service center's Gary Brumitt, who educated them on safety measures and the proper use of tools. District employees also will assist with laying a path in the garden, installing an irrigation system and other requirements. In addition, students in the welding/fabrication technology program will create stands to display student artwork. "It's really a collaborative effort," said Hiebert, who anticipates that the garden will be ready for planting in fall 2018.

Q: Filtering DataTable and copying results to two different DataTables I'm trying to filter results from a method that returns a DataTable, by a certain column value (of type DateTime) and inserting them into two distinct DataTables, as follows: var vAllItems = myClass.GetAllResults(x,y,z); DataTable dtExpiredItems = new DataTable(); DataTable dtActiveItems = new DataTable(); var expiredItems = vAllItems.AsEnumerable().Where(r => r.Field<DateTime?>("ExpDate") <= DateTime.Now && r.Field<DateTime?>("ExpDate").HasValue); var activeItems = vAllItems.AsEnumerable().Where(r => r.Field<DateTime?>("ExpDate") > DateTime.Now || !r.Field<DateTime?>("ExpDate").HasValue); foreach(DataRow row in expiredItems) dtExpiredItems.Rows.Add(row); foreach (DataRow row in activeItems) dtActiveItems.Rows.Add(row); rptExpiredItems.DataSource = dtExpiredItems; rptExpiredItems.Bind(); pchExpiredItems.Visible = dtExpiredItems.Rows.Count > 0; rptActiveItems.DataSource = dtActivetItems; rptActiveItems.Bind(); pchActiveItems.Visible = dtActiveItems.Rows.Count > 0; Thing is, on the second foreach loop the following error occurs: This row already belongs to another table. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: This row already belongs to another table. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! A: A DataRow can only belong to a one DataTable, you should create a new row from given row values. Use ItemArray property of the DataRow to get values and pass object[] as an input to create new row. dtExpiredItems.Rows.Add(row.ItemArray); or use ImportRow dtExpiredItems.ImportRow(row); Another option is using CopyToDataTable (DataTable)extension to create new table from Linq output, then use new table for your binding. dtExpiredItems = expiredItems.CopyToDataTable<DataRow>(); A: Where you are doing the following dtExpiredItems.Rows.Add(row); dtActiveItems.Rows.Add(row); You could instead do dtExpiredItems.ImportRow(row); dtActiveItems.ImportRow(row);

We are looking for first-hand accounts of the Arctic convoy operations. We are trying to create a lasting legacy for all members of the Armed Forces and Merchant Navy who took part in the Russian Convoys. We are developing a diverse collection of artefacts pertinent to this episode of the war, the bulk of which includes documents, clothing, artwork, photographs, models, and some retrieved wreckage. Most precious of all, however, are the stories and recollections that make these items resonate with their viewers by giving them context and added significance. First-hand accounts of the convoys paint the most vivid pictures of the conditions endured and will facilitate learning and understanding of precisely what took place both at sea and in port. Any recollections, no matter how insignificant they may seem to you, can help us to paint a vivid picture of the Russian convoys for future generations. We would love to hear from any veterans who would be willing to be interviewed and have their stories included in our archives for public access. If you are interested in participating please contact us at the address below. For a more detailed overview of the project, please download our information sheet from the link at the bottom of the page. All participants will need to sign a consent form and recording agreement on the day of the interview. These may be downloaded from the links below. Transcripts of the final interview will be provided and copies of the recorded interview will also be made available to participants to ensure they are happy with the content.

A vulnerable 89-year-old man has been targeted by bogus callers who made off with £500 of his cash. Police are appealing for witnesses after the incident at a house in Colley End Park in Paignton after the victim returned home from shopping at around 11am on Wednesday August 16. DC Dixie Dean said: "Two unknown men called at the door of the victim ten minutes after he had returned home from being out shopping. "The men advised that they believed he had a roof leak as they had been working at a neighbouring property when they spotted the leak and that a roof tile may have slipped onto the victim's roof blocking the gutter causing the water to back up into his bathroom. "One of the men took the victim up to his bathroom and left him there whilst they went out into his back garden in order to look up at his roof. After about ten minutes the victim realised that the two men had not made their way into his back garden and made his way downstairs to his front lounge and noticed that £500 cash had been taken from his wallet on the coffee table. "The two men are described as white, in their mid-20s with short dark hair. One man was of a larger build with a tanned complexion. The other man was wearing a white top which had some wording in bold letters on the reverse with the word 'Valley' on it. "No vehicles were seen and the victim's neighbours had not had any builders working for them. We believe the suspects specifically targeted the victim after spotting him walking home and followed him either on foot or in a vehicle. Zoo breeds its first ever BLUE frog!

Although job descriptions can vary quite a bit between companies and salaries are subject to regional adjustments, this should give a fairly accurate representation of the current market-value for most commercial heat treating positions. An important note: compensation packages in the heat treat industry have advanced rapidly over the past few years. As the labor market has tightened, companies have had to increase wages to attract the resources necessary to run a successful operation. In many cases, the employer is offering non-cash incentives as well, such as more vacation time, the ability to work from home and profit sharing or bonus programs. General Manager: Some GMs have Plant Manager responsibilities as well, but for our purposes, we'll assume not. The GM is more the outward "face" of the company and typically does not get overly concerned with tactical day-to-day issues in the plant. Rather, the GM focuses on dealing with customers, addressing any emergency issues that arise and is ultimately responsible for managing the P&L of the plant. A good GM is worth his proverbial weight in gold. Salaries for experienced GMs start at $110k minimum and can exceed $160k+. Sometimes, GMs are also incentivized with equity and/or performance bonuses. Plant Manager: PMs are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the plant and oversee all employees, either directly or indirectly. The PM will usually not have P&L responsibility, but will manage and oversee all other functions of the plant. PM salaries range from $90k up to $125k or more and typically also offer performance bonuses. Plant Metallurgist: Metallurgists will sometimes also act as the Quality Manager and/or Lab Manager. The Plant Metallurgist's main responsibility is over the various processes within the plant. Compensation for metallurgists varies wildly depending on experience, but for a non-manager, salaries will usually fall in the $75-95k +/- range. Quality Manager: Sometimes a Metallurgist will fill this role, but more often it is a non-degreed person with hands-on experience who has risen through the ranks. They will typically supervise a staff of quality technicians and will run the quality department and usually oversee audits. Sometimes, they will also have lab responsibilities. Salaries for experienced Quality Managers are between $70 and $90k, but can easily creep into six-figures if they will be supervising a large staff or have extensive audit knowledge. Sales Engineer: Two types of compensation plans are prevalent for sales. One type of plan is salary only, commensurate with experience. The other is salary plus commission or bonus. As is the case for OEMs, compensation depends on how collaborative a sales effort the company uses, if independent reps are involved and the philosophy and preference of the company. For a salaried Sales Engineer, you can expect base pay of $75-100k, plus car allowance/company car/mileage. For a commissioned Sales Engineer, the base may be closer to $55-75k + whatever commission is earned and car allowance/company car/mileage. Compensation plans for sales can be complex and we will provide an in-depth analysis of how sales professionals are incentivized in a future article. Maintenance Supervisor: A case could be made that Maintenance is the most important role within any heat treat organization. Without a good preventative maintenance plan and good repair capability when furnaces do go down, a commercial heat treater is out of business. Most of the time, Maintenance Supervisors are non-degreed professionals who have worked their way up from an hourly position on the floor. Over the past 2-3 years, there has been an uptick in demand for qualified Maintenance Supervisors and salaries have risen as a result. Whereas 7-8 years ago, many Maintenance Supervisors were earning $40-50k, we now see salaries nearing six-figures, especially when overtime is considered. VP/Furnace Operator/Other: This is obviously not an exhaustive list of positions within a commercial heat treater, but covers most of the middle management roles. VPs were intentionally left out because compensation can differ so much at the higher levels depending on the company, region and equity or bonus packages. Hourly Furnace Operators are always in demand, and while they sometimes don't require much experience and are trained in-house, we often see knowledgeable furnace operators not only running equipment, but also providing quality control checks and resolving minor maintenance issues. Wages for furnace operators can be around $13-17/hour with overtime, but can stretch to $25/hour for someone with extensive experience and lead responsibilities.
