NBA Awards Went to Giannis, Luka, Gobert, Williams, Siakam and Mike Budenholzer
NBA season 2018/19 is ended officially last night, at the award ceremony held in Los Angeles. The best players in specific categories received honors.
The NBA MVP trophy went to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic won Rookie of the Year Award, Rudy Gobert defended his Defensive Player of the Year status, Pascal Siakam was the Most Improved Players, while Lou Williams won the Sixth Player of the Year.
Milwaukee's Mike Budenholzer is the best coach this season.
In general, there wasn't any drama, and everything went as expected. After all, these guys were the favorites for their awards, and they undoubtedly deserved that.
Giannis became the second Buck to win this award, besides Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. With 27.7 points, 12.5 boards and 5.9 dimes, 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals, shooting from the field 59%, the Greek Freak was unstoppable. He was the first choice during the voting 78 times, compared to 23 James Harden was.
His Bucks had league's best record and were the most dominant force in the NBA throughout the regular part of the season. They would later stop in the Eastern Conference finals, when Toronto Raptors eliminated them.
Giannis is the lowest pick along Steve Nash who managed to win the NBA MVP award, being picked from the 15th place.
Meanwhile, the award for the best coach also went to Milwaukee, proving that this team became the true powerhouse in the NBA. Mike Bundenholzer's impact on Bucks' game is noticeable all over the place. The former Atlanta Hawks HC won this prestigious award for the second time in his career. Previously he was named the CoY in 2015, while in Georgia. Budenholzer became the seventh person in history to lead two different teams to 60+ wins in one season.
Luka Doncic came into the league breaking and destroying everything which stood in his way. The young Slovenian set numerous records in many categories, becoming the best rookie since LeBron James when looking at the stats. He is undoubtedly the best newcomer in the league in the league since King James arrived. With 21.2 points, 7.8 boards, 6 assists in 32.2 minutes on the floor, Doncic led his Mavericks, in becoming one of the most promising teams in the entire league.
Rudy Gobert is NBA's best defender for the second straight year. Utah's big man is the first since Kawhi to win back-to-back DPoY awards. His presence in the paint has been one of the keys reasons why Utah became one stable team, and a regular playoff participant. There have been some changes over in Salt Lake regarding the roster, and it can be expected that they make one step forward this season.
Nobody questioned Lou Williams' choice for the Sixth Man of the Year. The Clippers guard and one of the most lethal finishers in today's basketball was the motor of Doc Rivers' team. This was his third trophy in this category, joining Jamal Crawford. He also became only the third player in history to win it twice in a row.
And for the end, we saved the Most Improved Player award which went to Toronto. Pascal Siakam's performances were something that nobody could predict. Many are saying that it was he who made it possible for the Raptors to win the title, not Kawhi, because Siakam's production on both sides of the floor was the X-factor in each game. Not only did he improve offensively, but became one of the best defenders in the league.

Pasadena Adds Tritium Chargers to Marengo Charging Plaza
Tritium, a global company specializing in DC fast-charging technologies, has been awarded a contract from the city of Pasadena, Calif., to install 20 Tritium RT50/50 kW DC fast chargers.
The addition of the 20 fast chargers, in combination with 24 Tesla Superchargers, has made the Marengo Charging Plaza the largest public-access DC fast-charging location in the U.S. The Rooftop Marengo Charging Lot houses 44 charging stations.
"We believe that fast-charging facilities like the Marengo Charging Plaza provide Pasadena residents and commuters with the confidence they need to drive electric," says Marvin Moon, assistant general manager at PWP (Pasadena Water and Power).
"We appreciate Tritium's staff for the support they have given PWP both during and after construction to help ensure a great customer experience," he adds.
Customers of the garage can pay for the service using a credit card, Greenlots EV Charging Network, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a Tap and Go Credit Card. To complete an 80% charge with the Tritium 50 kW charger, it takes EV owners an average of 30 minutes.
PWP manages and owns the Tritium stations. The community-owned non-profit utility is on track to have a 50% green portfolio by 2030 – with hydro, solar and wind power already a part of its energy mix. Part of PWP's green strategy is to promote the adoption of electric transportation. Every car that transitions from gasoline to electricity results in a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), even counting those from power plants. As the grid gets cleaner, so does the transportation fuel.
The design of the Tritium RT50/50 kW fast-chargers fits into compact spaces and existing structures typical of Level 2 AC chargers. They operate over a wide range of environmental conditions, including temperature, humidity and corrosive conditions. The fast charger is liquid-cooled which controls heat and reduces wear on internal components, providing for a longer system life for the charger and a higher return on investment for owners.

I clairvoyantly saw Alice standing by my bedside one evening before bed… I was very adept at clairaudience and kinesthetic knowing, but clairvoyance hadn't been my strongpoint! This was my first experience with it and almost shocked me! There she stood, standing by me smiling and quiet. I didn't think to talk to her… My mind was taken away from the moment by my confusion over her looks… she has blonde hair and blue eyes, yet I have brown hair and hazel eyes. I unfairly tried to change her hair to brown in my mind, but it didn't work– she is blonde! A few days later, it came to my understanding that one of my childhood (boy) friends was on the ship with me and they mixed our DNA. He has blond/light coloring so it all made sense! That was the first time I had considered the idea of having a dad involved with my hybrid kids and one I know… geez, pretty amazing!

Q: Flex Library to do toaster style notifications? I'm building an Air app and one feature I need is toaster style notifications in the bottom right corner of the screen. Before I go ahead and start writing my own toast controller, does anyone know of an existing library for such functionality? I'm looking for something which will just manage displaying, hiding and stacking of toast notifications if I pass it a UIComponent.

A: I don't know what toaster style notifications are.  But, I assume you mean, basically, "popups" right?  Similar to what TweetDeck does?
I don't know of a specific Library, but there used to be an Adobe AIR sample app that did this.  Here is some documentation on it.  That app did have a bug in multiple monitor systems if memory serves me.

A: Funny, I'm working on this very thing.  Here's a library I found that you might find useful: http://code.google.com/p/as3notificationlib/  In the end that library didn't quite do what I wanted so I just created my own version, which was actually pretty easy.  Hope that helps.

A: I'm using this library http://code.google.com/p/flex-toasterlib/ and it works very well.
Just make sure you set your top-level application's layout to "absolute" (for flex < 4) or "basicLayout" (for flex 4) in order to allow the notifications to be displayed on top of you display list.

Gastronomical blowhard Anthony Bourdain took off the oven mitts and voiced his disdain for Dunkin' Donuts shill Rachael Ray. In a recent interview with Outside magazine, the "Kitchen Confidential" chef spewed harsh words about the foodie superstar and her choice to plug the fried-dough-selling food chain.
Amy's antics and the Olsen twinsEmbattled British blues singer Amy Winehouse and the U.S.-branded celebrities the Olsen twins have soooooo much in common. Motown-influenced Amy dresses like it's the '60s, while Mary-Kate and Ashley, with their full-length minks and giant pocketbooks, dress like they're in their 60s.
The Troika of Fashion Despair recently joined photo-shoot forces for the opening of a restaurant in London, reports the UK Daily Mail. Amy arrived dressed to the nines and appeared as if she left both her battered ballet flats and alleged-batterer, hubby Blake Fielder-Civil, behind.
Alas, Mr. Winehouse arrived later in the evening, and the couple partied until 2:30 a.m. That's when Amy changed back into a pumpkin … um … rather, her standard uniform of skinny black jeans and wifebeater tank. Then she and Blake reportedly stumbled home.
Please note: This event occurred the evening after Amy avoided England's Q magazine awards, though she still won the trophy for Best Album Back to Back. Producer/DJ Mark Ronson accepted Amy's trophy in her absence, telling the audience, "That's Amy — taking her pain and turmoil and making it into the music we enjoy." Same trophy turned up in a toilet at London's Bar Soho. Fingers crossed that Amy's career doesn't end there as well.
Joaquin Phoenix: "MYOB!"Much like the cranky chronic masturbator he played in the 1989 film "Parenthood," adult Joaquin Phoenix doesn't want to talk about it. What? Anything, apparently. According to Page Six, the notoriously misanthropic thespian couldn't be bothered to answer much, if any questions, in a phone interview with "Time Out New York" — though his antipathy toward the Stanislavsky Method is screamingly clear.
Leu's follow-up query regarding his previous claim that he trained at a fire academy for his part in "Ladder 49" only inflamed Joaquin's ire. "I just said that because I thought it would sound good to the press," he snapped. "I don't know why it seems to be of note that actors do any kind of preparation. It's just what you're supposed to do in your [bleep]ing job. Do you think that because you did some research you deserve some special credit?" With that, he hung up, ending the scheduled half-hour interview only 10 minutes into the call.
They may seem like the biggest reunion act on the planet, but those Spice Girls must be pretty hard up. Digital Spy reports that not only did the quintet of popsters accept a donation from Sean "Diddy" Combs for more than $8 million worth of bulletproof buses earlier this month, but now John Travolta's helping out the charity cases too. The actor volunteered his piloting skills on "Spice Force One" when the group launches its tour in December. … Uma Thurman can sleep easier now that the NYPD locked up Jack Jordan. TMZ delivered the lowdown on her creepy stalker: In one letter to the "Kill Bill" actress, Jordan wrote, "I feel afraid that if I see you out again with another man, I will want to kill myself, maybe even after we meet." Jordan, who's taken to camping out on Uma's street, is charged with stalking, aggravated harassment and attempted coercion.

Rosario Bonaccorso
"Rosario Bonaccorso is one of the most important and active Italian double bass player, a musician of great experience and sensitivity. He is listed amongst the most appreciated Italian musicians in the international scene." – Fayenz Franco, Il Giornale, for the "Teatro alla Scala" in Milano
Rosario Bonaccorso was born on December 8, 1957 in Riposto, seaside town on the slopes of Etna, the magical volcano which seems to have transmitted the same explosive and compelling energy to this sicilian musician.
In 1960 the family moved to Imperia, Ligurian Coast, where Rosario Bonaccorso resided until his talent led him to travel throughout Italy and then around the whole world. At seventeen, the double bass was not yet part of his life, he played the E-bass and led his own band playing and singing songs from Genesis and Led Zeppelin as well as an original repertoire, meriting the prestigious Italian award for emerging groups: Diapason d'Oro from Monzino.
At twenty he discovered the instrument of his life, the double bass. It was Eddie Gomez, and Scott La Faro, the exceptional double bass players of the Bill Evans Trio who inspired and enthralled him. He began to study the double bass by himself, quickly earning two scholarships and gaining experience with appreciated bands in north Italy.
Later on Rosario Bonaccorso discovered the sound of Ron Carter, the bass player of Miles Davis, who was his reference for years. He opened to Rosario Bonaccorso the way to the sound of classic jazz. After that he became interested in the styles of bassists like Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, Charlie Haden, and others, who have traced the evolution of the contemporary double bass language.
Then his musical maturity led him to develop his personal style, reinventing the message of the tradition of the great bass players of Afro-American music, which Rosario Bonaccorso revisits with contemporary, freshness and personality. It is important to point out his debut on the Italian national scene that took place in 1982 during the International Festival Ciak in Milano alongside stars of the jazz scene: Franco Ambrosetti, Daniel Humair and Dado Moroni.
After years of prestigious collaborations and having contributed with his musical support to the success of many jazz artists, Rosario Bonaccorso is listed amongst the most appreciated Italian bass players in the international scene
Since 1997 he has been collaborating for twelve years in the famous band of Stefano di Battista and with the groups of Enrico Rava, with which he was in tour in Europe and many important countries like U.S.A., Japan, Canada, Argentina, Africa…
Other important italian collaborations included the project Milestones with Gino Paoli, Boltro, Rea, Gatto, and the group of Eric Legnini, of Roberto Gatto, of Dado Moroni, of Francesco Cafiso…
These are other famous artist and jazz legend with whom Rosario Bonaccorso worked over the years: Elvin Jones, Benny Golson, Billy Cobham, Pat Metheny, Michael Brecker, Stefano Bollani, Joe Lovano, Mark Turner, Gato Barbieri, James Moody, Lee Konitz, Steve Wilson, Ivan Lins, Dianne Reeves, Adrienne West, Clark Terry, Jon Faddis, Charles Tolliver, Franco Ambrosetti, Kenny Davern, Bob Wilber, Tony Scott, Slide Hampton, Kenny Barron, Jacky Terrason, Cedar Walton, George Cable, Ralph Sutton, Jimmy Cobb, Albert "Tootie" Heath, Vernel Fournier, Naco, Aldo Romano, Dede Ceccarelli, Tommy Campbell, Sangoma Everett, Tullio de Piscopo, Luis Nash, Herlin Riley, Adam Nussbaum, Antonio Sanchez…
With some of these big names Rosario Bonaccorso has been and is still involved, recording for major record labels such as ECM, BLUE NOTE, VERVE, LABEL BLEU UNIVERSAL, PMR and playing on the most prestigious international stages, including New York, Tokyo, Paris, la Scala di Milano and the State Opera of Vienna.
"…For me the sound of the double bass – explains Rosario Bonaccorso – has deep spiritual roots connecting with the Mother Earth, it is the energy that comes from the deep to help release the creativity of the other instruments…"
Rosario Bonaccorso is appreciated for his great communicative skills and his natural gifts, such as being highly creative, having knowledge of tradition, for the charge of creative energy that he impresses on the rhythm section. All these qualities have made him one of the most requested double bass players.
Rosario Bonaccorso's own signature style is an original spirit of improvisation: the union between the expressive sound of his voice and the voice of the instrument.
Despite his many musical commitments, since eighteen years Rosario Bonaccorso has been organizer and artistic director of one of the most interesting music events on the Italian scene – the Percfest of Laigueglia – which is staged annually in the month of June.
This event brings together the important Jazz Festival "Suoni, sogni e immagini nelle notti di mezza estate" and the Memorial Naco, percussion European event dedicated to the memory of Rosario Bonaccorso's brother Naco, the unforgettable percussionist who died tragically in 1996. The Memorial Naco is characterized with 120 events in six days consisting of prestigious concerts, educational programs, seminars and international competition for creative percussionists. A cultural event of European stature which has renamed Laigueglia as the "European Capital of Percussion."

A New Tool on the ISS Could Help Us Find Alien Life
Ria Misra
Filed to: spaceFiled to: space
Astronauts doing some work on the outside of the ISS (Image: NASA)
The ISS is getting an incredible new tool: a handheld DNA sequencer. The questions scientists hope it will answer include whether life exists beyond our planet and just what is that weird fungus growing on the wall of the space station?
The biomolecule sequencer, called a minION, will be part of the cargo that SpaceX will launch to the ISS on Monday. Once it arrives, the newly arrived ISS astronaut Kate Rubins will use it to attempt the first in-space DNA sequencing. We talked with the NASA scientists—Camille Alleyne, Aaron Burton, and Sarah Wallace—behind the project to find out what else it could do, both right away and in the future.

As a self-contained unit with a rotating crew of astronauts, a constantly changing cargo hold, and all the microbes that have ever accompanied them, the ISS is a microbial stew. One task the researchers hope he sequencer can accomplish is investigating exactly what's floating around the station. Right now, if there are questions, the only way to answer them is with an old-fashioned culture test in a petri dish. But the sequencer could answer questions, especially about the air and water, almost immediately.
"All the [ISS's] water is recycled and that's from urine, condensate, sweat, everything," Sarah Wallace, a microbiologist and the manager of the sequencing project told Gizmodo. "Is it being processed to where it's microbially clean? We want to know in a more real-time way is that water processor working."
Simply being able to monitor the air and water quality in the moment would be a big step. But there are also some unexpected questions that arise on the ISS that the sequencer can answer. For instance, the matter of a weird fungus that astronauts keep scrubbing off the wall—but no one has quite identified yet.
"In the past, we've had visible fungi growing on the ISS, and we want to know what that fungi is," said Wallace. "Is it benign or something to be concerned about? Knowing what it is, the microbiologists can recommend what to do to deal with the issue."

The sequencer could also answer questions about the long-term impact of living in space on the human body, or even someday be used to diagnose astronaut illnesses, as they move towards longer stays.
But the real applications of the sequencer might only be seen once its off the ISS and going out further into space. The researchers hope to someday use it to identify life—in practically real-time—on other planets, including Mars.
"For all the reasons the sequencer is good for microbiology applications—it's small, it's lightweight, pretty robust—it's a good piece of equipment to send to other locations in the solar system," Aaron Burton astrobiologist and the lead of the sequencing project, told Gizmodo. "So if you wanted to go to Mars and see if there was life, if you had a small sequencer device, you could take it with you, and you could actually start looking for life."
Of course, that life could take multiple forms. It would be very useful to see what kind of life we're dragging along with us when we visit, whether ourselves or via our robot rovers. But another extremely exciting possibility would be finding life that's native to other planets. The researchers are already looking at how the sequencer could be modified to deal with truly alien life—for instance, life that didn't even have DNA.
"It doesn't have to be DNA that you're sequencing, it could be closely related molecules," Burton noted. "RNA is one we have on earth, but you could also envision having different sugars with different nucleobases. You could look for a whole range of information from molecules and people are starting to look at protein sequencing with it, too."
"There's the space application, but there's also the benefit to our lives here, too."
While some of these applications are in the distant future and far from our home planet, the basic research the astronauts hope to do could also easily come closer to home. The ISS (a remote, minimalist environment, by necessity) also functions as a good template for how to conduct operations on remote areas of Earth. But having a working sequencer in space also opens up new laboratory possibilities that could fundamentally add to the way that we understand genes and their workings—and that's knowledge we can apply here at home.
"There's also an Earth benefit," Camille Alleyne, associate program scientist for the ISS said. "Understanding, for instance, how gene expression happens in salmonella bacteria could lead to vaccine development. So there's the space application, but there's also the benefit to our lives here, too."
For now, though, the sequencer's first project is simply to see if it can perform as well up in space as it does here on earth. Once they've got a benchmark, then the real work can begin.

How Site Speed Impacts SERPs
Google page ranks have played a vital role in identifying top niche websites. It's the top search results displayed that has boosted the ranking of many web pages. Certainly there are myriad factors used to rank the results produced by the search engine.
Until 2009, the major factors involved in displaying search engine results were as follows:
a) The Content of the web page which is further categorized into text, URL, the heading, and the headers.
b) The legitimacy of the website which determines the era of the domain name along with the number and quality of the inbound links within the website.
It was in 2010 that Google came up with a distinctive idea of introducing website speed as a factor which impacts search engine ranking results.
What is Site Speed and why was this chosen as an impacting factor?
Site speed could be the pace taken for a website to load and how long it takes for the content to be viewed by the user. This can result in slow-performing or fast-performing mobile sites. Google's idea was to let the poor performing websites take a backseat since they give very little importance to the user experience.
Is content still the king for Google?
Google has willfully denied it's users the insight of page speed that directly impacts the search ranking, but they have no doubt on content. The relevancy of content in a website always remains the champion. The factor that is worth pondering is the relationship between speed metrics and search ranking results since there are innumerable factors involved in the backdrop. However, the identified correlations between the two impacts the results produced.
Google's analysis in search engine rankings
The first part of the study was conducted with a list of 2000 search queries selected randomly from the ranking factors list of 2013. A selective list of single keywords and multi-length keywords extending up to 5 were collected as samples. The top 50 search results along with their URLs were extracted and evaluated with the entire search summed to 100,000 pages.
The second part of the study involved a Web Page Test conducted using an open source tool. This involved loading private instances which are identical on a server, hosted in cloud pointing to a location anywhere across the globe, for instance, a location in the west was chosen. The tool uses browsers accepted by the crowd in large for collecting more than 40 performance parameters about the loading of a web page. Google's chrome was used for the test with an empty cache to maintain consistency with the results.
Study Results: The study results captured more than 40 distinctive page load metrics for each of the URL tested. Per the study, search ranks are not supposed to be influenced based on the number of open sessions held by a browser uses for loading a page. The results clearly matched the study as there was no notable impact in search ranking based on the number of open connections. Highlighting the noteworthy factors that influenced the ranking of search results with the help of the open source tool:
Page Load Time: The Time Taken For Page Load
When Page load time is contemplated for a website, there are two distinct measures which explain in-depth details to the user.
a) Document complete time
b) Fully rendered time
Document complete time means the time taken for any page to load before the user can click on any of the website elements and enter data. For example, enter a website name in the search bar and clicks enter. The website begins to load. The whole content isn't there, but interaction with the website is still possible.
Fully rendered time means the time taken for all elements in the website or web page to load. As we scroll up and down many elements are loaded in the background of the website, for example, the advertisements, images, videos and trackers in a website are loaded until completion.
The study included both the load times for analyzing the search rankings. The relationship of document complete time and fully rendered time was weighed to check the impact it had on search ranking. The surprise twists in the study were to identify no relationship existed between these two key parameters. Google left the spot on page load time open for speculation which helped the study takes new depths.
Representation of the Graph for Page Load Time: The representation of Page Load Time can be put in a graph with the following details:
The Horizontal axis represents the position of the search rank up to 50 ranks
The Vertical axis represents the norm time taken for 2000 randomly selected search terms included in the study.
How to plot the graph for Page load time?
In order to calculate the position of the page, which is highlighted in the horizontal axis, each term from a list of 2000 terms (marked in the vertical axis) used in the study is searched in Google one after the other. The first result of each search is selected and the page load time of every page is evaluated. The mean value is calculated and the graph is populated to point to Position 1. The same process is followed for the rest of the positions up to 50.
Insights of the study: By the logic of search engine tactics the quicker a page renders the quicker a user is satisfied with the results which lead to more promotion. It is clear and evident that the web pages with ranks between 1 and 5 should have lower document complete time and fully rendered time over ranks greater than 5. But Google has surprisingly not allied these factors to improve search rankings.
Time to First Byte (TTFB)
Since ranking of search results and Page load time had nothing much in common, the study took a turn towards Time to First Byte (TTFB). This dimension was calculated with the following aspects in view: This test clearly determines the time taken by a browser to receive the first byte as a response from the web server for a requested URL. When receiving the response many metrics come into play:
Calculating the network latency in sending a request to the web server from the browser.
The time that is taken by the web server to process the request.
The time that is taken by the web server to generate a response.
The time that is taken to send the first byte of the response from the server to the browser.
Representation of the Graph for Time to First Byte**:
The representation of Time to First Byte can be put in a graph with the following details:
The Horizontal axis represents the position of the search rank up to 50 ranks The Vertical axis represents the time taken for the response from the server for each request.
How to plot the graph for Time to First Byte?
The position of the page is plotted according to the response time taken by each request to return the first byte. The same procedure is followed for all the 50 ranks.
Insights of the study:
Clearly there was a close affiliation between time to first byte and position of the search rank. The search rank of a web page decreases when the time taken for the first byte to be returned from the web server to the browser is high.
If TTFB is lower, the search result ranking is higher
If TTFB is higher, the search result ranking is lower. The authority in search rankings due to TTFB is the highest throughout the study.
Page Size in Bytes: After promising impact captured in TTFB, the study proceeded to capture Page size in bytes. Each and every web page was calculated in bytes and compared with the positions of the search ranks. Page size signifies all the downloaded elements in a fully rendered page. This includes everything from images and third party widgets to fonts.
Representation of the Graph for Page Size:
The representation of Page Size can be put in a graph with the following details: The Horizontal axis represents the position of the search rank up to 50 ranks
The Vertical axis represents the Page size in bytes
How to plot the graph for Page Size?
The position of the page is plotted according to the Page Size of each web page in bytes. The same procedure is followed for all the 50 ranks.
Insights of the study: The relationship between search rank positions and page size in bytes brought up a theory involving simple to the complex methodology. Many of the optimized and high ranking sites belong to organizations that are big in nature and involve more resources whereas low-ranking sites belong to smaller organizations with fewer resources. The site complexity of an Organization is dependent on the resources and content of a website.
Imagine comparing a giant retailer website with a startup firm. When there is a decrease in the page size, there is a decrease in the page rank.
Total Image Content in Bytes: With as much as necessary speculation on Page size, the study moved to capture the image content in bytes. All the images loaded in a web page or a website is compared with the search rank position. It is a clear fact that when there are more images in a website, there is a possibility for the website to load slower than usual.
Representation of the Graph for Total Image Content: The representation of Total Image Content can be put in a graph with the following details:
The Vertical axis represents the Total Image Content in bytes
How to plot the graph for Total Image Content?
The position of the page is plotted according to the total image content of each web page in bytes. The same procedure is followed for all the 50 ranks.
Insights of the study: Per the study not a strong level of association was expected, but it was expected for websites with images to load slower thereby causing impacts in search ranking positions. However, the results for images did not provide any breakthrough in the study, but this concludes the fact that page load time does not influence search ranking positions.
Page Load Time vs. Search Ranking: During the study, it was clearly identified that page load time did not cause a major breakthrough in search ranking results. This holds true for one or two-word length generic keywords as well as for keywords up to 5 words. The websites are quicker in page load timing did not rank higher than the websites which took a longer time to load. This isn't the key factor that anyone with a website should be worried about. In fact, page speed doesn't play a vital role even for keyword oriented websites.
TTFB vs. Search Ranking: The only factor in the study to have a major impact in search ranking is the Time to First Byte (TTFB). The lower the time is taken for a response, the higher is the value of the search engine rankings.
Back-end Support in TTFB Ranking: Web sites with excellent back-end infrastructure deliver quicker responses. Ideally, the servers that support a website in the back-end play a significant role in improving the search rank positions. Even after an in-depth analysis of the front-end performance parameters, it's the back-end website performance parameters that cause a significant impact in a website's search ranking.
Why is TTFB considered A Vital Metric?
It is easier for Google to capture TTFB as a metric using its website crawlers. Collecting data based on document complete time or fully rendered time requires a browser with full capabilities since it directly impacts the search rankings.
Similarly, design, structure, and content of the website are also dependent on browser capabilities as much as the times calculated. Speed and performance are crucial factors for a website. Google crawlers can capture TTFB metrics leads to more time and effort involved in the search. There are high possibilities for Google to include Page rendering time in the near future as a factor that impacts search rankings since user experience is the key reason for the existence of websites. Calculating TTFB is highly recommended since it is a rational metric used to estimate the performance of the entire site.
The 3 important factors that are directly affected are as follows:
The network latency between the guest user and the server.
How loaded the web server is with the massive request list.
The turnaround time of the website's back-end to generate content.
Content Distribution Networks (CDN):
Many websites use CDN to lower their network latency. CDNs are known for their efficiency in quickly distributing and delivering content to the users and visitors of the website, irrespective of the geographic location. Many of the highly ranked websites are efficient due to their wise investments in their high capacity back-end servers, CDNs, database layers and effective optimization of their applications.
How much is a Back-end Server Involved in Search Rankings?
Back-end infrastructure helps in websites ranking higher than other sites. In order to maintain their rankings, it is a wise decision to improvise the back-end infrastructure of the quickly growing sites.
The study concluded that sites that have established back-end infrastructure has topped the list and received higher ranks than the websites which care less for their back-end. For example, searching long tailed keywords (4 or 5 words long) returned results from websites owned by smaller organizations with very less audience but has consistent content on the specific search query. The results did not show many high traffic websites. Building a complex environment with very high TTFB is equivalent to not building one at all. TTFB is a consistent parameter which focuses completely on the quick response rather than complexity of the website. This helps in ranking the websites clearly. If the TTFB is lower for a smaller yet quicker website, its search rankings increased whereas if the TTFB is higher for a bigger yet slower website, its rankings are much lower irrespective of the content and the site presence.
Norms to Be Followed By All Websites:
TTFB is the key parameter to your website's higher and consistent ranking. Focusing on building the back-end infrastructure is very important for fast and responsive servers which directly impacts search ranking position.
Equally important is the front-end of the website which ultimately captivates the user's attention and provides an enjoyable experience. The front-end and back-end complete a website. It is important to identify and resolve front-end and back-end problems of websites to improve search engine ranking positions with experts help to benefit on the internet.
Faster websites promote good content along with happy visitors. Happy visitors promote the websites leading to a chain reaction of sharing and linking across the globe!

Q: SQL synchronize database between local and remote server I've got 2 companies in different locations and the main server is at my office. The main server is working with a full version of SQL Server where the companies use SQL Server express version.
What is the best way to synchronize these SQL Server databases together that the main server have always the latest updates?

A: There are several technologies specifically for this type of scenario:

*

*SQL Replication

*

*Supports unidirectional or bidirectional synchronization

*SSIS

*

*Lets you define the mappings of the data, as well as transformations, and attach other code to the process easily

*Linked-servers

*

*Allows you to query databases and tables on remote servers as though they are part of the local database.  Very easy to setup (just call exec sp_addlinkedserver) and once defined uses nothing but plain old SQL

If you want to do in an event (like button click), I would suggest Linked Server. Click here for a simple tutorial about how to create a linked server. After creating linked server, we can query it as follows:
select * from LinkedServerName.DatabaseName.SchemaName.TableName

A Maldivian court ordered accounts belonging to former president Abdulla Yameen holding $6.5 million to be frozen. Police on Sunday said that he was under investigation for corruption. The accounts are held in Maldives Islamic Bank and the Bank of Maldives.
Monetary authority of Maldives has lodged a police complaint about the alleged donations of $1.5 million made into a private account held by Yameen in two suspicious tranches, local media reported.
Yameen's five-year term was marked by the jailing or exiling of all his key rivals most of whom have returned to the country or have been released from jail, after his fall from power. New Straits Times reported.
The investigations are due to a complaint filed by Financial Intelligence Unit, an anti-money laundering body, in September this year alleging that Yameen had violated the country's election laws due to the transactions made from his Maldives Islamic Bank (MIB) bank account during the time of the elections.
President Solih had set up two commissions to investigate allegations against the former President after coming to power in the Maldives. During his campaigns he had vowed to clamp down on corruption. Sify News reported.
Yameen told Al Jazeera that these were ordinary transactions and the freezing of the accounts was politically motivated. He was not involved in He said that he was not involved in trafficking in drugs or laundering money.
During Yameen's tenure, in the country's biggest-ever corruption scandal, at least $79m from tourism revenues was diverted to private accounts and cashed out. The scheme involved the state-owned Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC). Yameen blamed the central bank and commercial banks for the MMPRC scandal, saying the staff there did not raise red flags when tens of millions of dollars in public money was diverted to private accounts.
Maldives' new President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih arrived in Delhi yesterday on a three-day state visit during which he will hold talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi aimed at strengthening bilateral ties which were soured during the previous government.

Letšeng, villagers fight – specialist weighs in
By Lesotho Times On Dec 23, 2020
Bereng Mpaki
LETŠENG Diamonds and the Patising communities must jointly conduct an investigation into the mine's safety of its slime dams, a United States (US) consultant has said.
Steven Emerman of Malach Consulting said this last month in his confirmatory affidavit filed in support of the Patising community in its case against Letšeng Diamonds. The affidavit was filed after Letšeng Diamonds chief executive officer Kelebone Leisanyane's own affidavit filed in the High Court in September this year.
Mr Leisanyane's affidavit was filed in response to the Patising community's suit to compel the mine to relocate them.
The villagers filed their court application in August this year. They want the mine to relocate them to a safer place as they are living in constant fear that the mine's slime dams could burst any time. The dams are located on a hill overlooking the village and if they burst, the villagers are worried that they could endanger their lives.
Letšeng Diamonds, the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Mining Tšokolo Maina and Attorney General Advocate Tsebang Putsoane are cited as first to third respondents respectively.
The villagers also claimed that the mine's operations were contaminating the water from a nearby stream which they use for their daily activities rendering it harmful.
But in his answering affidavit, Mr Leisanyane said the villagers' claims were inaccurate.
"It is correct that Letseng is of the view that its dams are safe," Mr Leisanyane said.
"It is not correct that simply because Letseng has provided equipment to deal with an unlikely emergency this means that Letseng's dams are not safe."
He said the risks associated with the dams' safety are managed continuously by a contractor and a dedicated team of staff who conduct regular inspections to ensure their safety and stability.
"Independent professional engineers are involved. So is the operating contractor. So too are dedicated Letseng employees. These people are constantly monitoring the dams for cracks, sloughing, erosion, tunneling wet spots or seepage. All this is geared towards safety and to guard against the failure of the dams.
"The foundations of the dams are also checked regularly. A side slop stability analysis is conducted on an ongoing basis. Structural stability analysis is also conducted. Geo-technical material properties are also checked.
"In Letseng's view, its dams are safe. The dams are not "a disaster waiting to happen" nor do the applicants need to live in "constant fear". All this has been variously and repeatedly communicated to the people in the villages around the Letseng mine, including Patising."
He also argues that the allegations of water contamination are misplaced. Instead, he says the contamination of water may be a result of repeated water usage by the villagers.
Therefore, the mine cannot be held liable for the villagers' choice to continue using dirty water when they can fetch clean water for domestic use.
"What the applicants do not disclose is that Letseng has constructed a potable water supply system where water is collected and pumped to a reservoir above the Patising village and released to the village. During this process, the water is also chlorinated and made safe for consumption by the community.
"Letseng's investigations have disclosed that people from Patising use the water they collect over and over again. In the process bacteria gets into polluted water. This in turn, after many uses, renders it unsafe… This has nothing to do with water contamination caused by Letseng. Letseng cannot accept responsibility for people using potable water over and over until it becomes bacterially infected which in turn renders it unfit for washing," Mr Leisanyane said.
And in his confirmatory affidavit in support of the applicants, Dr Emerman, whose Malach Consulting specialises in groundwater and mining, said the two parties must collaborate in an investigation of the dams' safety and report back to court.
While Mr Leisanyane's affidavit contains a list of inspections, it does not contain any information about the safety of the dams.
"The story is that first respondent is doing audits or implementing some standards, but there is not any outcome or data from those audits which speak to the safety of the dams. Without actual engineering reports such as dam safety audits, there is no way the court can be in a position to determine the safety or otherwise of the dams.
"I would therefore, for the benefit of the court, suggest that experts for both parties be allowed to participate in the proceedings in the form of actually visiting the dams, carrying out own investigations and filing independent reports or even appearing before court if necessary. It is only in that way that the court can reach a well-informed decision regarding the safety or otherwise of the dams," Dr Emerman said.

Q1. Tell us where it all began
Coffee House Lane is a family-owned business based in Waterford who produce award winning hand roasted coffee. Mark Bergin is the proud owner of Coffee House Lane.
In 2007, Mark and his father set up a family vending business, while working alongside his father it became evident that the real area of growth was in coffee, an area they both were extremely passionate about. After much discussion and planning, they decided to sell the vending business and master the art of producing coffee. 2008 saw the launch of Ponticelli Artisan Coffee. Mark worked with a third-party roaster to develop and roast the Ponticelli blend, until 2011 when Mark purchased his own roaster and started roasting in-house.
"Coffee House Lane is a family-owned business based in Waterford who produce award winning hand roasted coffee."
This was such an exciting time for Mark, as he had always dreamed of developing his own blends of coffee and roasting in-house. As the business grew organically, and they secured larger contracts, a second roaster was installed, followed recently by a third roaster.
Over the years several different brands have been launched; Ponticelli was the first brand developed, named after an area outside of Naples where Mark and his family visited. Ponticelli is an Irish artisan coffee based on an Italian style coffee. Some time later the brand Coffee House Lane was launched which is a premium coffee developed for hotels and food service. The third brand, Origins is the speciality range, the range consists of single origin coffees which are only available during certain months of the year.
Q2. What differentiates you from other coffee producers in this area?
Coffee House Lane is the only commercial producer in Waterford whose roasting is completed fully in house. All of the coffee produced by Coffee House Lane is roasted in Waterford, this gives Mark and his team full control over what they are producing.
"We are there at every step of the process, full control means that we can stand over everything that we do and produce."
Q3. What are your top 'moments of joy' over the past 4-5 years?
One of the things Mark is most proud of is that he is supporting Irish jobs through manufacturing and distribution. Coffee House Lane employs 14 people, who all share Mark's passion for good quality coffee! Mark and the team have won many awards over the years, including 4 Blas na hEireann awards and two Great Taste Awards in the UK.
"I love going into a retail outlet and seeing our coffee on the shelf. A lot of what I have learnt is self-thought and comes from years of hard work, so its truly a real sense of pride when I see our range stocked in stores around the country."
Coffee House Lane is Origin Green Certified and has recently achieved Origin Green Gold Certification which means they have overachieved on what they set out to in terms of sustainability, Mark explained that this is a really great achievement as there are only 50 companies in Ireland who have received Origin Green Certification and he is the only Coffee Producer to have been awarded this certificate.
Another great achievement for Coffee House Lane was achieving their BRC Certificate – which is a testament to all their hard work.
Q4. What would you say are the biggest challenges your business is currently facing?
Of course there have been challenges along the way, with the key challenge currently being increased cost. Regardless of this current challenge, Mark and the team are continually seeking new blends to allow Coffee House Lane customers to discover even more flavours.
Q5. What does the future hold for Coffee House Lane?
When asked about his future for Coffee House Lane … Mark is passionate about making really good coffee for the ever-discerning customer! He plans to continue to grow sales in the domestic market and shared that they have lots of new blends in the pipeline for Coffee House Lane.

The scientists Marek Carliner from the University of Tel Aviv and Jonathan Rosner from the University of Chicago have published the article in Nature, where they theoretically described quark synthesis, the new possible source of the renewable energy.
In the course of experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider, atoms are accelerated to enormous speeds, at which they begin to disconnect subatomic particles - quarks. Further quarks interact with each other, forming baryons - more stable particles consisting of three or five quarks. Examples of baryons are the proton and the neutron, which make up the atomic nuclei.
This interaction of quarks did not stay unnoticed by the researchers. It turned out that the energy liberated during the formation of baryons is several times greater than that released in nuclear fusion.
Carliner and Rosner did not immediately publish their results, because they were afraid that the discovery will create a weapon similar to a hydrogen bomb, only many times more powerful. But a too short lifetime of quarks is not enough to trigger a chain reaction, so there is no danger of using the discovery in the development of weapons of mass destruction. But so far there is no possibility to use it for peaceful purposes.
Next step will be to create and test a number of experimental facilities which will help scientists come closer to development of technologies of practical application of quark synthesis. These researches may become a theoretical base for building a real technology for implementing the new powerful and safe energy source

Blake Lively Explains Name of New Brand 'Betty Buzz' & How It's a Tribute to Her Late Father
Blake Lively just launched her new brand Betty Buzz and she's explaining the touching meaning behind the name.
Betty Buzz is a new line of refreshing, non-alcoholic, lower calorie mixers with only clean ingredients.
"I don't drink. I know that's odd coming from the wife of an infamous gin slinger," Blake said, referring to husband Ryan Reynolds' brand Aviation Gin.
She continued, "Over the past many years of mixing but not drinking cocktails, it became clear mixers are the unsung heroes of the drink world and deserve just as much love as alcohol. We've spent the last three years crafting Betty Buzz and are so excited for people to finally taste it."
Click inside to learn about the meaning of the brand's name…
Blake explained how the name Betty is a tribute to her dad.
"My dad's name was Ernest Brown Jr but he was known as Ernie Lively. He gave up his last name when he married my mom and any success he, or I, have experienced has been in a name that isn't his. So when I was working hard to build this company, I wanted any success to be in a name that was meaningful to him. Betty was his mom and his sister's name. Also, Ernie would not be the best name for a mixer," she said.

Artistic Licence is celebrating a stunning performance at PLASA London 2013, having received massive interest in its newly-previewed and launched products, two of which were recognised in the Awards for Innovation.
On the stand, visitors were clearly delighted by nanoScope, a pocket-sized DMX tester that looks set to become next year's 'must-have' item for technicians. With its intuitive colour-coded feedback and robust, lightweight casing, nanoScope offers a powerful combination of functionality, practicality and affordability.
When it came to the Awards, however, it was eSense - a ground-breaking new system that enables dedicated RDM monitoring, storage and display - that won the judges over. In recognition of the product's ability to transform data management, the PLASA judges awarded eSense an Award for Innovation. Completing the accolades, Art-Osc - the new public domain, royalty-free protocol from Artistic Licence that enables remote interfacing of lighting control data via smartphones or tablets - also received an honourable mention.
Artistic Licence CEO, Wayne Howell, sums up: "I think we were all unsure about what impact the move to Excel would have on the show, but from AL's perspective it has been a resounding success. We have already re-booked for next year, and hope others agree that PLASA London remains the premier international fixture in the trade show diary."
Artistic Licence is exhibiting at LuxLive 2013, 20-21 November, Earls Court. Stand B12.

well biker what part of SD are you in? PC club is where I get alot of my stuff here in la mesa, also there is Fry's, computer depot, bestbuy, chips n memory and in the east county theres startek near parkway plaza.
But I'm not building PCs anymore. I'm telling most people to get a Dell. Just about the same price with a 3 year warranty. And I don't have to fix them when they break. No more phone calls at night.
best thing then would be to grab a computeredge magazine with the local vendors. its a weekly zine with all our local vendors specials and stuff for you out of towners.
what school you going to? I graduated Coleman about 3yrs ago. Don't ask if I remember any of it though.
If you want to shop online, I use these two and both have good prices & fast shipping!
Newegg is also my favorite online store. and fastgame the canon printer is working like a charm printed some 4x6 photos and I cant tell the difference from a photolab print. The camera I got is only 2m pixel but for 4x6 prints it works great.

Police error leads to acquittal of two accused in Delhi robbery case
Nirnimesh Kumar
New Delhi, January 12, 2020 03:56 IST
The case of the prosecution fell through in the trial as the police committed a procedural error by showing the photographs of the accused persons to the complainant
A Delhi court has acquitted two persons in a road robbery case in east Delhi in 2018.
According to the chargesheet, the bike-borne accused persons had robbed gold chains of a man and his wife respectively at gun point early evening.
First, they stopped their bike by the driver's side window and asked for an address from complainant Jasvinder Singh. As he rolled down the window pane, one of them snatched the gold chain from his neck.
When the victim tried to resist them, another person came on his bike and forced his wife to part with her gold chain at gun point.
The case of the prosecution fell through in the trial as the police committed a procedural error by showing the photographs of the accused persons to the complainant before conducting the Test Identification Parade (TIP). Further, the complainant failed to identify the accused in the trial of the case.
The police also failed to trace the wife of the complainant to record her evidence after she had taken divorce from him.
Freeing the two accused, Additional Sessions Judge Jagdish Kumar said: "In the cross examination, the complainant deposed that on the way to the Mandoli jail for TIP of accused persons, the investigating officer had shown the photographs of culprits, who was apprehended by police, and on the basis of those photographs, which was shown to him he had identified one person in TIP proceedings. So the identification of accused Shadab @ Salman and Deepak have lost its trustworthiness."
Accused Shadab had refused to take part in the TIP proceedings. Justifying his refusal, the Judge said: "His plea has force as according to him his photographs were also shown to the witness by the police. So this refusal, in the given circumstances, cannot be construed against him."

The documentary "Searching for the Ark" has won international award in Lebanon
Ukrainian-Lebanese documentary "Searching for the Ark" has won the main prize at Lebanon International Festival of Cinema and Television. The movie got "Golden cedar" award in "The best documentary" nomination at the festival, which was held 3-5 march 2011 in Beirut (Lebanon). 19 short films and full-length documentaries from Syria, Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Canada and Ukraine took part in the contest.
The documentary was produced by "07 Production Studio" (Inter TV channel) and "Alpha Production Studios" and directed by Ivan Kravchyshyn.
"One of the soviet movies says - "The East is tricky"… To do a movie about Mikhail Naimy we had first to find people who understand his difficult language, and what is more, speak this language in their everyday lives in Ukraine. We managed to find them, and it emerged that they told us much more interesting things about his philosophy, then some savants- consultants, – the author and director Ivan Kravchyshyn says. – We did a movie as an instructions for viewer's understanding of human emotion mechanism of action and didn't try to amaze people with juicy details. Our consideration turned out to be the right one – Lebanon viewers enjoyed the movie. We managed to build an invisible bridge of understanding between them and us, because an emotion doesn't have any barriers, it has just one language – a feeling".
"Searching for the Ark" – is a first philosophical documentary in the history of Ukrainian-Arabic relations, this movie consolidates spiritual and cultural ties between two nations.
The documentary shows how the ideas of the book "Book of Mirdad" (one of the works of great Lebanon philosopher Mikhail Naimy) appear in our life and how to use this knowledge to meet difficult situations and trials in everyday life.
The "Book of Mirdad" overwhelms by its depth. Renowned Indian philosopher, a founder of mystic teaching, Osho has said about it: "Millions of people have written books, trying to express what is inexpressible, but all of them have failed. I know just one book, "Book of Mirdad", in which the author has succeeded in it".
The legend, philosophy and poesy have interlaced in this unusual book in a magic way.
The premiere date of the documentary "Searching for the Ark" at Inter TV channel will be announced further.

Brooks defends partnership with Farah
Luke Brooks has rubbished suggestions he and Wests Tigers halves partner Mitchell Moses are incapable of working with Robbie Farah.
The NSW Origin hooker is expected to return from a head knock in their NRL clash against Penrith on Sunday and Brooks says they will only be stronger for his presence.
Farah's dynamic with the young playmakers is under the microscope due to the side's superior record when he's on the sidelines however Brooks says it's unfair to tarnish him in that way.
"I think we've played some of our best footy when Robbie's been there," Brooks told AAP.
"I think just at the start of the year we weren't playing our best footy and that came down to us.
"But over the last few weeks I think we've started to play some good footy and hopefully we can continue that this week."
Rumours of a fresh feud between Farah and coach Jason Taylor flared after he was asked to start from the sidelines earlier this month - claims denied by the club.
His manager has also shot down rumour he is headed for an early exit from his contract at the end of the year.
He is again expected to start from the bench against the Panthers at ANZ Stadium on Saturday afternoon with Dene Halatau to start.
Halatau has been cleared to play after suffering a concussion in Sunday's 29-20 loss to Melbourne.
The Tigers have won just two of six with Farah this year but are 4-3 without him, leading to questions about his place in the side.
Veteran Cronulla hooker Michael Ennis has said Farah is better off leaving the club because he appears incapable of gelling with Brooks' and Moses' playing style.
However Brooks said it wasn't Farah's fault they hadn't peaked.
"I think that's unfair," Brooks said.
