Unblocking Canal 13 couldn't be easier with Ivacy VPN
That's really how easy it is to access your favorite content from all the way in Chile.
Since it is that easy, all that's left to do is explore the content that Canal 13 has to offer in more detail.
Canal Plus does not provide its streaming services outside France due to the licensing agreements it holds with the content providers. These agreements prevent Canal from making its content available to the areas that lie outside of France.
The Canal+ website has a large button that translates to "Subscribe" which can confuse the users since the website's content is offered for free. Although you don't need to register to watch content on the CANAL+ site, you need to subscribe for additional channels, otherwise not available to the free users.
Here are the three top shows available to watch on Canal:
The Bureau:
Based on true accounts and inspired by France's top spy agency, The Bureau focuses on the daily lives and missions of intelligence operatives.
Baron Noir:
The show is based on French politician Philipe Rickwaert exacting his revenge on his enemies after being a sideline.
Spiral:
Spiral follows the daily lives of the members of the French police as they deal with corruption, gang violence, and related crimes.
It depends on what you're after really.
Here's a nice assortment of entertainment which is available to watch on Canal 13.
SIGAMOS DE LARGO — A talk show with fans from all across the Spanish speaking world. It feels almost like an after-party, with celebs winding down with a beverage or two and having a good laugh. For those chat show enthusiasts out there wanting to improve their Spanish, there is no better option.
The love of cooking exists in most cultures across the world. The spices and wonder contained in the South American cooking tradition can be witnessed on Canal 13's version of Master Chef.
As competitive as it always is, this version of Masterchef demonstrates the individuality of every nation's tastebuds.
Definitely worth the watch, though it might make you a little hungry afterward…
The title gives it away, but for those of you who want to watch Canal 13 for its educational value we'll throw in a little translation.
If you translate it quite literally (which is what we're about to do) you get something like what would your son do?
You guessed it: a bunch of celebrities come onto the show with their little ones and follow through on a series of challenges that ALWAYS prove to be entertaining.
It's a light-hearted way to get a glimpse into your favorite celebrity's personality, as well as see the cutest of celebrity children!
Of course, even though staying entertained is a top priority for most people, another one they should bear in mind is staying informed.
One unique feature about the Canal 13 site worth pointing out is the format in which it presents its news.
If you are interested in a certain topic, for example, let's say the immigration situation in Peru, Canal 13 will have a lengthy news piece about that item in isolation.
A peculiar mix between current affairs, news, and documentary, Canal 13 presents a refreshing new take on the way in which the news is delivered.
An eternally evolving field of communication, Canal 13 is ahead of its game.
Moving on then to another innovative aspect of the streaming service: TELE 13.
You heard right. You can even listen to the radio on Canal 13.
Whether it be in the form of a podcast or a snippet of an interview, there is plenty of audio entertainment to keep you going on Canal 13.
Here's a sneak peek of some of the things that could grace your ears if you unblock Canal 13 using Ivacy VPN.
You can get full-blown special features like this one that caught our eye: ESPECIAL – 50 AÑOS, HOMBRE EN LA LUNA.
An in-depth exploration of the first man on the moon, this audio gem would be an incredible addition to an otherwise dreary commute to work.
Sports 13 is another add on to Canal 13 where you can find a treasure trove of your favorite news items as well as snippet videos showing highlights of what goes on in the sporting world.
As we've demonstrated, Canal 13 is a brilliant addition if you want to watch a range of entertainment in the Spanish language.
We've detailed the 3 easy steps above, and also told you about the amazing content that you can access with them.
It seems like an absolute no brainer doesn't it – and it really is as easy as it sounds.
Canal 13 is home to innovative content that you can stream – make sure you take advantage of this with Ivacy VPN.

Q: Export whole query to a file using stored procedure Need help on getting query on a text file using stored procedure in db2. I'm very new to this so please help.
Till now i am able to create a file and get get data in created file. But i want a complete query in the file not a single column data.
I have created a Stored Procedure like this
 CREATE or replace PROCEDURE SCOPEMASTERP(my_statement varchar(10000))
AUTONOMOUS
BEGIN
  DECLARE v_filehandle    UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
  DECLARE v_dirAlias      VARCHAR(50) DEFAULT 'mydir';
  DECLARE v_filename      VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT 'bluestar_transaction-';
  DECLARE v_format        VARCHAR(200);
  SET v_format = '%s\n';

  set v_filename = concat(v_filename, VARCHAR_FORMAT(current_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY'));
  set v_filename = concat(v_filename, '.log');
  CALL UTL_DIR.CREATE_OR_REPLACE_DIRECTORY('D:', '/archivelog/asd/');
  SET v_filehandle = UTL_FILE.FOPEN(v_dirAlias,v_filename,'a');
  CALL UTL_FILE.PUTF(v_filehandle,v_format, my_statement);
  CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Wrote to file: ' || v_filename);
  CALL UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_filehandle);

     END

insert statement i am executing
 Insert into SERVEIT.SCOPENAMEMASTER (SCOPENAMEID) values (1013)
GO

And file which is creating in "D" drive i am getting

But instead of just getting 1013 i need the complete query in the file
Insert into SERVEIT.SCOPENAMEMASTER (SCOPENAMEID) values (1013)

What changes i need to do please help. Thanks in advance!!

A: There are no special registers/variables/etc. available in DB2 that provide the SQL statement that is being executed, so what you're asking for is not possible.

For Isabelle Powers, Just Competing Is a Victory
Martha Drum
Like dozens of other young foxhunters across the country, Isabelle Powers of Midland Fox Hounds (GA) worked hard to qualify for the Junior North American Field Hunter Championships earlier this month. Simply being able to compete at the finals was a tremendous victory for her, her mother Lisa, and their support team, though: Isabelle had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in April, and underwent taxing chemotherapy treatment through the late spring and summer.
Isabelle, right, made friends with Taylor Overman of Farmington Hunt at the JNAFHC in Virginia. M. Drum photo.
Lisa described how soreness in her daughter's jaw and neck - initially attributed to wisdom teeth - led to the discovery of several clusters in her neck and collarbone areas. She began treatment in May, and was declared in remission in September. While the outcome was positive, "The chemotherapy itself was grueling - she had to be hospitalized for three days to take her chemo, because she would become so ill." Isabelle added that simply being too tired to participate in all her favorite activities, along with some hair loss, were the hardest parts of the process for her.
The JNAFHC finals were a motivation, though: Two years ago, riding Mason Lampton's Bandit, she'd finished seventh. Last year, she qualified for the finals, but did not place on her own horse, Haley. This year, looking over her therapy appointments and the schedule of qualifying meets, she and her mother realized the window of opportunity to return to riding and make it to the finals was very small. "Really wanting to come back here and compete again was a big goal for me," said Isabelle. Having just turned 18, this was the last year she could compete in the junior event.
Isabelle was only cleared to ride in October. Once again partnered with Bandit, she was able to qualify after just a couple weeks back in the saddle. Her friends and barn family, as well as the Midland community, were all supportive. "My friends really encouraged me the most," Isabelle said, "That's what helped me stay focused on getting better." Lisa explained, "She held onto this as something to look forward to, to come back to for her third time."
While Isabelle did not make the cutoff for the top ten in her large First Field division, she felt a huge sense of accomplishment just to have participated in the finals. With a good prognosis, she's looking toward the future - and motivated to consider a career as an oncology nurse. She and her mother are looking at potential college programs that will enable her to prepare for this career. She has already demonstrated the determination and courage to achieve her goals.

Within the above issues, all three suspects lawyered right up – Matson with the formidable criminal protection lawyer, the late Richard Petersen out of Fort Bragg; Denoyer was privately represented for the fumbled case brought against him, not for murder, however for neglect of his horses.

Interagency Proposal for Model Privacy Form Under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act: Comments to the Federal Trade Commission
Posted: May 22 2007
Submitted to the Federal Trade Commission
by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse
Office of the Secretary, Room 135 (Annex C)
Filed electronically at: https://secure.commentworks.com/ftc-modelform
RE: Comments on FTC File No. PO34815, Docket ID OCC-2007-0003
Interagency Proposal for Model Privacy Form under the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act
https://secure.commentworks.com/ftc-modelform/Notice.pdf
The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC)1 is pleased to comment on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR)2 to simplify the consumer disclosures required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB"). With only a few minor suggestions, the PRC endorses and fully supports the model form adopted by the agencies. We direct our comments as follows:
Proposed Model Privacy Notice
Financial Industry Information Sharing Practices
The NPR was issued to meet the requirement of the Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 (Regulatory Relief Act),3 which directs the eight federal GLB regulators to finalize earlier proposals to meet GLB's standard that consumer privacy notices be "clear and conspicuous." As a result the agencies have proposed a short form model privacy form.
The PRC along with other consumer and privacy advocates have been highly critical of the privacy notices sent to consumers. Starting in July of 2001, when the first GLB privacy notices first appeared in consumers' mailboxes, it was apparent that notices, when recognized at all, did not provide consumers with a clear understanding of their financial institution's information sharing practices. Consequently, the notices did not give consumers a reasonable opportunity to exercise any available opt-out opportunities. Significantly, the criticism voiced by consumer and privacy advocates was shared by members of Congress and the financial services industry as well. The agencies' response to these concerns are outlined in the NPR, beginning with the Interagency Workshop held in 2001 through the report on consumer testing issued in March 2006.
2. Proposed Model Privacy Notice
Absent the preferred, true consumer choice of an opt-in, the privacy notices sent by financial institutions represent the only information consumers have about how information is shared with affiliates and third-party non-affiliates. We are encouraged to see that the model privacy notices proposed by the agencies incorporate many of the suggestions privacy organizations have long advocated.
Namely, the proposed model form:
Is a standardized format that allows consumers to compare information sharing practices of multiple financial institutions.
Includes a checklist approach that alerts consumers to when they can or cannot opt-out.
Requires a statement at the top that tells consumers the notice is required by federal law.
Prohibits the inclusion of extraneous, marketing-type information.
Some simple changes would make the model forms more clear and provide added information. The NPR includes two model privacy forms. The three-page "Neptune" model is used when companies share information and the consumer has opt-out choices. The two-page "Mars" model form is used when the company does not share information. We offer the following suggestions and comments:
Mars Model Form
The Mars model form is used when the customer has no opt-out option. Under other circumstances, a company that used the Mars form could have additional "yes" answers under the question, "Does Mars Share?" This would be the case, for example, if Mars shared information with joint marketers or shared transaction and experience information with affiliates.
In the PRC's experience, consumers often become confused when they see that a financial company says it shares information. Consumers' general attitude is that information should not be shared at all, and, if it is, there should be an opt-out right. The PRC has been contacted by consumers frustrated because a privacy notice says the company "shares" information, but the consumer cannot find that the notice gives information necessary to opt out.
Consumer confusion should be less likely when model forms are adopted. However, to make the consumer's rights perfectly clear, page two of a Mars-type form should clearly state at the bottom: You have no opt-out opportunity, or a similar statement.
Neptune Model Form
The Neptune form should explain the consequences of not opting out. We believe most consumers are unaware that their information may flow endlessly unless they opt out.
The following, taken from the FTC's consumer guide, illustrates this point:
[Information may be re-disclosed]…when a company receives nonpublic personal information from a financial institution that provided an opt-out notice -- and the consumer didn't opt out. In this case, the recipient steps into the shoes of the disclosing financial institution, and may use the information for its own purposes or re-disclose it to a third party, consistent with the financial institution's privacy notice. That is, if the privacy notice of the financial institution allows for disclosure to other unaffiliated financial institutions - like insurance providers - the recipient may re-disclose the information to an unaffiliated insurance provider. /www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/glbshort.htm
Continuing disclosure is important information and should be clearly conveyed to consumers. Notice could be given by a simple statement at the end of the opt-out section on page 3 of the Neptune form, such as: If you choose not to opt out, the company that receives your information from us may, in turn, share your information as described in this notice.
Information Needed to Opt Out
The agencies have solicited comment on whether it is necessary for customers to give their Social Security number or account number to opt out. Financial institutions should make every effort to process an opt-out request without collecting unnecessary information.
In today's atmosphere of identity-theft anxiety and daily news of data breaches, most consumers are extremely reluctant to disclose personal information. For some, the necessity to disclose the Social Security number may keep them from exercising the right to opt out. This should not happen.
The customer's name and address should be sufficient to opt out. If additional information is necessary, it should be limited to a truncated version of the account number.
3. Financial Industry Information Sharing Practices
Privacy notices, no matter how streamlined, give only the barest details about information sharing practices within the financial services industry. In adopting GLB, Congress directed the agencies to study sharing practices. ("GLB Study") (15 USC §6808) Significantly, the GLB Study, among many other things, called for an examination of the purposes for sharing confidential customer information with affiliates and with nonaffiliated third parties. (15 USC §6808(a)(1).
The GLB Study was also to include an assessment of the
... feasibility of different approaches, including opt-out and opt-in to permit customers to direct that confidential information not be shared with affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties. (15 USC §6808(a)(8))
On February 15, 2002, the agencies solicited public comment for the GLB Study.4 Although Congress directed that the GLB Study be submitted by January 1, 2002, we can find no indication that the GLB Study was ever submitted to Congress or that the agencies ever published public comments received in response to the Federal Register Notice.
Section 214(e) of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACT Act) also calls for a study of information sharing practices (FACT Act Study). On August 31, 2006, the agencies solicited public comment on certain aspects of the FACT Act Study,5 and the Federal Reserve Board has a draft of questions to be used in reporting to Congress on the FACT Act Study.6
We continue to believe that consumers can only have a meaningful choice in information sharing through an opt in. Once made public, the GLB Study together with the FACT Act Study will shed much needed light on information sharing practices. We are also confident that the studies will reveal that only a very small percentage of consumers opt out. From this, the agencies and Congress should conclude that consumer privacy is not adequately addressed in an opt-out scheme.
Today, information sharing practices within the financial services industry, with both affiliates and nonaffiliated third parties, remains largely a mystery to the public. We urge the agencies to move forward, to make these Studies available to the public.
The model privacy notices proposed by the agencies are a major improvement over existing notices. We endorse the agencies' continuing efforts to refine the notices through the final phase of consumer testing. The agencies should also complete and make public the studies on information sharing practices.
We appreciate the opportunity to comment.
Beth Givens, Director
1 The Privacy Rights Clearinghouse is a nonprofit consumer education and advocacy organization based in San Diego, CA, and established in 1992. The PRC advises consumers on a variety of informational privacy issues, including financial privacy, medical privacy and identity theft, through a series of fact sheets as well as individual counseling available via telephone and e-mail. It represents consumers' interests in legislative and regulatory proceedings on the state and federal levels. www.privacyrights.org
2 The proposal is made jointly by the FTC and seven other federal agencies with authority to implement the notice requirements of the GLB. The FTC is joined in this NPR by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), Department of Treasury, Office of Comptroller of Currency (OCC), and Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS); Federal Reserve Board (FRB or Board); National Credit Union Administration (NCUA); Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC); and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) (collectively, "the agencies.) The PRC directs these comments to the FTC with the understanding that our comments will be shared with the other agencies involved in this rule proposal.
3 The Regulatory Relief Act, P.L. 109-351 (October 13, 2006), 120 Stat 1966, directed the agencies to propose a model short form notice by April 11, 2007.

Will paying my bills early increase my credit score?
No, it won't. While your payment history is the most important factor in determining your credit score, early payments won't change your payment history (only paying your bills on time or not).
Do active-duty military personnel get free credit monitoring?
Yes, they do.
Are there steps I can take to avoid identity theft if my Social Security number's been stolen?
Yes. The first thing you can do is to freeze your credit.

Wutopia Lab Creates a Reader's Paradise in Xi'an, China
By Rebecca Lo
PROJECT NAME Zhongshuge
LOCATION Xi'an
FIRM Wutopia Lab
SQ. FT. 20,000 SQF
One of the oldest cities in China, Xi'an boasts origins dating to the 11th century BC. Xi'an became the country's capital in the 3rd century BC under the first emperor, Qin Shi Huang—whose mausoleum there contains an army of thousands of full-size terra-cotta soldiers to guard him well into the afterlife—and soon after attained renown among Europeans as the terminus of the Silk Road. In recent years, the government in Beijing has designated Xi'an for growth, specifically in research and development, national security, and space exploration, firmly propelling ancient heritage into the 21st century.
Amid the shelving at Zhongshuge, a bookstore in Xi'an, China, by Wutopia Lab, stands a pavilion clad in laminated wood panels. Photography by Creatar Images.
A city considered the cradle of Chinese culture was naturally a place where an ambitious book-store chain, Zhongshuge, thought it should have a presence. To make just the right statement, creating a literal haven for literature, the company returned to Shanghai-based Wutopia Lab, which had previously designed locations near Shanghai and in Suzhou. Xi'an's, at more than 20,000 square feet, is the largest to date. "There's a café, a gift shop, a lecture hall, and a movie-themed gallery," Wutopia founder and chief architect Yu Ting notes. All this can be found inside a new mixed-use com-
plex with twin office and hotel towers connected by a podium, which houses dining and retail including Zhongshuge.
Bands of lacquered MDF compose the cash-wrap desk. Photography by Creatar Images.
Arrival to the bookstore is from the level below, intended for restaurants. Here, an enclosed entry sets the mood for what's to come. Bands of shelving wrap the glowing walls, while through the center swoops a ribbonlike staircase—initiating a pilgrimage, as in The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic. Bright red on the floor and the steps establishes the reference to the Inferno from the poem, reinforcing the concept of leaving eternal torment to climb upward to a white Paradise. Another version of heaven, the White Cloud Village from an ancient Chinese fable, was also a source of inspiration. "The white backdrop is purity and light, a contrast with the heaviness of the city's long history," Yu says. Western literature and Chinese culture continue to blend as customers progress through the store proper. They're immediately greeted by serpentine walls of shelving that rise to meet the ceiling, then spread outward as horizontal bands of light, like petals unfurling from stalks. The endless arrays of books, stacked on one another, recall the layers of Xi'an's past.

Near the center of the public reading area stands a square pavilion entered through the wide archways on each side. Yu calls this structure the Pantheon. Its floor of clear glass, intended to resemble water, allows a glimpse down into a book-lined room that can be used for meetings or just for reading. (Access is via the pavilion's internal staircase or a door on the level below.) Look up instead and see a mirrored ceiling composed of triangular fractal patterns. Reflected in the ceiling, as a way to draw curious customers from other parts of the store, Zhongshuge's book of the month is exhibited on a single display stand.

White display islands, shaped like giant water-smoothed pebbles, dot the reading area, their bands of open shelving giving customers the opportunity to casually flip through a volume. Breaking up the sea of white, maple-veneered benches sit beneath windows—another place to cozy up with a stack of reading material before committing to a purchase. "The benches address the real behavior of people, to let them sit, lie down," Yu says. Deeper in is an enclosure designated for children: a room-within-a-room that Yu refers to as the Crystal Castle. Covering the exterior, abstracted trees and animals appear in silhouette against a backdrop of a city skyline. "It's supposed to be a secret wonderland," he says. Inside, the PVC floor shows a diagram of the solar system.

Beyond the children's reading room is another compelling reason to visit: the café, scattered with round white tables and maple chairs. That's part of the com-
pany strategy to "attract people, regardless of whether they enjoy reading," Yu explains. Potential café customers also include patrons of a cinema adjacent to the store. With doors providing direct access between the two, Zhongshuge welcomes bookworms and moviegoers alike.

the screaming and storming
shortly after moving to new york city, i heard an interview with patti lupone on a broadway-talk-radio program.
it kinda made me wanna puke.
the show's host was all pumped and ready to explode (yes, explode) with excitement and adulation over the fact that he had the great patti lupone in his presence. during the interview i seem to remember there being a lot of "when you did this" and "when you did that" and "you were absolutely amazing in" and "you were robbed" and the like.
puke pukitty puke-puke.
one of my favorite moments, though, was lupone recalling her performance as reno sweeney in "anything goes!"
in the number "blow, gabriel, blow" lupone's character, directed to leave the stage during a big dance break, returned belting so high that the audience had no choice but to look to see where that siren-like noise was coming from. this is not the way the tune is written, but how lupone interpreted it. it was my idea, she said.
best, though, was her reasoning behind that choice: i had to get the attention back on me, i had to get the focus back on me, this was my moment, this was my number, lupone said. or something to that effect.
see, that moment, lupone realized, was about HER. not about her character, not about the show, not about the scene, or the story. it was about HER. getting the focus back on reno might have been important, but it's not where lupone lives. it wasn't about reno. it was about patti.
several days later, i heard an interview with christine ebersole on national public radio. ebersole was performing in the broadway musical "grey gardens" and spoke at length about how fortunate she was to be in the company of great actors like mary louise wilson and the others in the cast. she was so lucky to be able to perform this material, she told the interviewer. she was incredibly humble and generous. grateful.
now, these two theater stars might be exactly the opposite of what i'm guessing them to be. lupone might be the dearest, sweetest woman alive, and ebersole might be a total loon. that grateful act might have been total bullshit. and maybe my memory is a little foggy about both interviews. this is just the impression i got.
it makes this story all the more interesting to me.
amanda ameer has written an account of lupone's second to last performance in her tony award winning role as mama rose in the recent revival of "gypsy" which seems to fit in nicely with the image i have of lupone already.
any actor knows that nothing is more irritating, nothing is more disruptive than being onstage in the middle of a performance when photographs are being taken from the audience. audience members show nothing but total disrespect for the actors, the designers, the director – not to mention their fellow audience members – when they snap off a photo during a show.
besides all of that, it's illegal.
no really. illegal.
that said, amanda's story begins: she and a friend are at that second to last performance of gypsy, and suddenly, during "rose's turn", there are photographs being taken. flash! flash! right in the middle of what ameer calls "the most - some might say only - important part of the entire musical." flash!
lupone. goes. off.
"No. Enough. ENOUGH. Stop. Stop. You have taken three pictures. You in the third row from the back. Didn't you hear the announcement? They said no pictures in the announcement! Three pictures. I won't have it. I want him out of here."
What followed was a ten minute lecture on our contemporary society's "lack of public manners". "This is the the-atre!" she exclaimed as if this were a Saturday Night Live skit about a Broadway diva. "I won't go on while he's still in this theatre. Turn on the house lights, I must see that he's gone. I simply won't go on."
Screaming. Storming around the stage. Screaming and storming, the hoarse Broadway diva playing Mama Rose on the last evening show of the run, Patti Lupone: a cliché within a cliché.
now please. this kind of acting out is certainly not exclusive to ms. lupone, or to big-star-types. i've seen and heard it from plenty of others only pretending to be big stars: the storming off-stage and swearing profusely at the understudy who came in a smidge late with a line; the commenting to the stage manager, as you exit stage left, that the actor you just played a scene with (who's exiting right behind you) doesn't deserve to even be there; busting into another actor's dressing room to shout "you stepped on my god damned foot you stupid son-of-a-bitch." it's all too common.
but c'mon! actors are crazy! you have to be a little crazy (or a lot crazy) to do what they do!
so okay, i'm a big woose wuss. but that kind of crap is what makes me want to join the peace corps (which, i'm sure, has it's own divas.) and if it means instead i'll get to work with generous, caring, humble people – like many of the actors i know in milwaukee? well. i guess i'll have to settle.
but believe me, milwaukee has it's divas too.

That is one self-important c.c. Not you, Tone. The lady singing Rose's Turn all scoopy on that BOOTLEG audio of said penultimate performance of Gypsy on YouTube. Wow. Yuck.
Jeff Ircink January 20, 2009 at 5:57 PM
Sooo you think Lupone WAS out of line or you don't? the peace corps comment lend me to think Lupone's full of herself, but as a performer i would think you'd back her rant on stage. interesting - i think Lupone was right to go off on the jerk in the audience. 'bout time.
how are you, tony? enjoying THIS day? i can't wait for the CHANGE. and i'm being totally serious.
"lends" me to think YOU think....(screwed that up)
tony January 20, 2009 at 6:45 PM
jeffrey, my dear friend.
exactly what part of "puke pukitty puke-puke" don't you understand?
let me be as clear as i can: as a performer, i think lupone's behavior is disgusting. as an audience member, i think it's disgusting. as a former telemarketer, i think it's disgusting.
yes. taking photos is annoying. and dangerous. do i think lupone was concerned for her safety? no. do i think she was worried about falling off the stage? no. could i be wrong? no.
okay, maybe. but doubtful.
i think lupone basically IS mamma rose: self-absorbed, self-aggrandizing, and delusional. it's everything i abhore about this business. and truly, it's everything that makes me think calling people to ask how they like their new buick riviera was not such a bad job.
please speak clearly, into my right ear

Action on Measuring & Communicating Results
Home»Reports of the...»Reports of the...»Report of 26th...»Action on Measuring...
Action source
The HLCM Strategic Plan places a significant focus on measuring and communicating results. Not all actions undertaken by the Committee in this area are explicitly linked to the QCPR. However, work on establishing common definitions of operating costs and standardized systems of cost control, as well as work to enhance the quality and quantity of information on the CEB website do respond directly to mandates (paragraphs 17 and 159).
The development of a UN system Data Visualization platform (see Section VI of this report) to improve the UN system's capacity and ability to present UN system data, as well as the system's implementation of standards for data presentation, represents a direct response to the QCPR calls.
In 2012 the CEB Secretariat launched an enhanced system for collection of Financial Statistics based on harmonized definitions of expenses and revenues. The full set of 2010 and 2011 data is now displayed on the new CEB Website. In 2013, the CEB Secretariat further enhanced the SAP-based system and collected 2012 data, which will shortly be made available. The CEB Secretariat is continuously improving the system to enhance automation, improve the collection mechanism so as to reduce the burden for the organizations, and to broaden the range of collected data.
A working group led by UNICEF and participated by nine agencies has just been established to respond to the QCPR call for common definition of operating costs and a common and standardized system of cost control.
The committee:
Affirmed its commitment to the programme of work outlined in the Results Framework, which represents the guiding tool for the operationalization of the Committee's Strategic Plan for 2013-2016.
Encouraged member organizations that have not yet done so, to express their interest in joining in the activities outlined in the Results Framework.
Took note of the work currently undertaken to respond to the mandates of the QCPR in paragraphs 17, 137, 140, 152, 153, 155, 159, 160, 162 and 167 and encouraged the lead and participating organizations to give this work the highest priority.
Expressed its commitment to elaborate a response to QCPR paragraph 155 towards developing plans for common service centres, taking into consideration the requirements of the different mandates and corresponding business models of member organizations.
Requested each HLCM Network to review the requirements put forward by QCPR paragraph 155 with respect to their respective functional areas, and propose a coordinated response to the Committee, also identifying where there is value in inter-operability and appropriate harmonization of rules, regulations, policies and procedures.
Committed its full support to the Brazil pilot on the establishment of a common service centre, structured along the model offered by the Business Operations Strategy (BOS). Looked forward to a comprehensive cost-benefit assessment, including by the HLCM Networks, of the outcome of the BOS pilots, including of the Brazil common service centre, subsequent to their implementation in 2014, with a view to broadening their scope in response to the QCPR paragraph 155.
Welcomed the results being achieved by the use of the lead agency approach for common support services at the country, regional and global level and requested Networks to review policies, procedures and results with the aim to remove any remaining obstacles to the lead agency approach in each of their areas of expertise.
Recommended that organizations that have established global service centres assess their readiness and availability to expand those centres to support additional organizations, towards the creation of common service centres at the global level.
Took note with appreciation of the work of the UNDG Working Group on Resident Coordinator Issues and confirmed its continuing support to the work of the Group.

World As We Speak
French Boost in Louisiana
After Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal vetoed $100,000 funding for the Council for the Development of French in Louisiana (CODOFIL) during last year's budget vetoes, French-speaking state lawmakers sought new ways to promote Louisiana's francophone heritage.
In the recently ended legislative session, that bipartisan group of lawmakers filed and won passage of bills that celebrate the state's Cajun culture and French roots. The measures promote language immersion programs at public schools, raise funds for CODOFIL, and allow Cajuns to stamp their heritage on their license plates and driver's licenses.
"People who don't speak French but come from a French background, a lot of people want to see it passed on to their children. They want to still be able to go to the festivals and hear the music," Rep. Stephen Ortego, D-Carencro, said.
Louisiana drivers will now be able to get "I'm a Cajun" stamped on their driver's licenses for a $5 annual fee, or new license plates declaring "I'm Cajun… and proud" or "I'm a Creole… and proud" for an extra $15 a year. Fees will go to CODOFIL to pay for scholarships through a program that trains new French teachers for Louisiana schools.
The most far-reaching legislation creates the Immersion School Choice Act, which sets up a parent-trigger law to establish programs that teach public school children in another language, usually French or Spanish.
The bill will require local school boards to create a dual-language immersion program for students if parents of at least 25 kindergarten students in the school district sign a petition seeking the program. For the law to kick in, qualified teachers also will have to be available — and no other immersion program can already exist in the district.
The first such programs could start as early as next fall. Louisiana has 5,000 students enrolled in dual-language immersion programs (28 French, ten Spanish, and one Chinese).
Legislative approval came despite opposition from local school board officials and superintendents who said while the programs show strong academic value, forcing districts to create them adds a new expense they cannot afford.
Governor Jindal vetoed a bill requiring the state transportation department to ask federal officials to let Louisiana issue bilingual highway signs. He supports allowing such signs to include French, but disagreed with allowing signs to include other languages. Therefore, he issued an executive order asking the transportation department to follow the bill's approach, but with restrictions that bilingual signs only include French.

Mobile app use – and therefore mobile app development (including Flutter development) – has exploded over the last decade. In addition to this, it is also showing no signs of slowing down. In 2018 statistics indicate that the global revenue form mobile apps globally was $365.2 billion. However, the same statistics predict that by 2022 that revenue will have risen to $808.7 billion. Therefore, it's far from too late to reap the benefits a mobile app can offer to you and your business.
As the demand for mobile apps continues to increase, so do users expectations. Therefore, users look for speed, ease of navigation, great visuals and apps that don't take up too much space. In turn, this means that App developers are then presented with a number of challenges. One of which is to use the best technologies to fulfil user desires.
One of the best solutions we make use of is Flutter Development.
What is Flutter Development?
Flutter development, simply put, is a mobile app development kit created and maintained by Google. Even though, Google is very closely aligned with Android, Flutter was created with all developers (like Novaflip) in mind. Allowing teams like ours to create cross platform mobile apps. But most importantly, offering a way to get a new app into the hands of as many users as possible. Whilst offering them a great experience.
Why the NovaFlip Team Uses Flutter Development
Maybe you are under the impression that Google and Apple don't 'play well' together. However, that's often not the case, and Flutter is a great example of that. Flutter was created by Google developers to serve app developers who need to create an app using a single code. Which in turn, functions as well on iOS devices as it does the Google-centric Android.
Helpful Hot Reload
The hot reload feature in Flutter allows developers like the Novaflip team to create an app as quickly as possible. Whilst still ensuring that it functions as well as it needs to. In turn, this feature allows us to see every change we make within seconds of making it. Every tweak, new feature or fix applied can be viewed in seconds. This immediate feedback allows us to work faster and with more precision, something that we love and you will too.
Great Preformance
As we mentioned, users demands for apps to do more are increasing, and Flutter helps app developers create high performance apps they love. Flutter's engineering and architecture can provide a performance level of 60 or 120 frames per second on mobile devices capable of 120Hz screen refresh rates. In layman's terms that means that it allows mobile app developers to create apps that are super responsive and very user-friendly.
How NovaFlip Uses Flutter
The NovaFlip mobile app development team are very well versed in – and are big fans of – Flutter to aid in custom mobile app development. It's just one of the tools we use though, and it's not the right choice for every project.
This realisation is one of the things that sets us apart from other mobile app development companies. We do not work on the basis that mobile app development is a one size should be made to fit all prospect. Every app we create is unique to the client, and if Flutter is not the best option we won't use it, we'll use something that is the right choice instead.
Ready to discuss what a mobile app custom created for you and your business would look like, and whether Flutter would work for it? Contact us today.
Why do developers like Flutter?
The toolset for Flutter is very efficient to use when developing mobile apps, especially as it is a very fast process to make changes and see the results on the device.
Will my app look boring if I use Flutter?
While Flutter will produce apps on iOS and android that have a similar look and feel, one of the things that sets Flutter apart is that the results always look fantastic out of the box. A rich set of built in controls allows us to design and develop stunning apps that run flawlessly.
Is Flutter a good technology for startups?
Yes, because it will enable you to make an MVP for iOS and Android you can release into the wild to gain critical user feedback, then we will be able to iterate on this at the lowest possible effort and cost.
What notable apps have been written in Flutter?
Google Ads, Alibaba, Reflectly to name just a few.
What type of performance can I expect from a Flutter app?
For general purposes there will be absolutely no recognisable speed difference to the end user.

Mix is fast upon us, and to be perfectly honest, I'm preparing frantically. That means that I've been behind in my Tip of the Day. Rather than closing it down, I want to take the three weeks between now and Mix and really focus on some areas of Silverlight 1.0 that I've not been paying enough attention to.
We know that Silverlight 2 is just around the corner; while we've not announced its release date, we've said it will be in Q1, which means a matter of weeks. Let me assure you that will many of my Tips of the Day and blog posts will be on Silverlight 2, which after all will be new and exciting (and amazing) it will also be Beta, while SL 1 is a released product, and so will not be neglected.
One of the areas that I personally have been meaning to pay more attention to is Popfly. With the attention it has been given by my publisher, I thoght this might be a good time to start.
I decided to start with the Popfly videos. I watched the 30 second video and based my starter app on that. To begin, I grabbed the Twitter block and set its properties to my Twitter account.
I added some arrows to the image above to make pointing out the pieces a bit easier.
The three black arrows point to the three properties for this block..
The first, set by a drop down, lets you decide which operation you want the block to perform (I chose getFriendsPosts).
The second asks for your Twitter user name, and the third asks how many posts you want to get at a time.
At any time, you can click preview to see the results of your work so far; in this case, my one Popfly block running alone.
This isn't quite what I wanted, but that is not a problem. I click on Customize and the block comes back. Click on the wrench, the edit block comes back.
I can edit the properties and I can count on tooltips to help me determine the meaning of the properties.
When I have the block working the way I want, I can add a second block, and most important, I can "mash them up" by clicking first on one and then on the second. If the output of the first is meaningful to the input of the second… voila!
In this case, I'll drag on a news reader as my second block.

The restoration of elbow flexion is of primary importance in the management of patients with brachial plexus injuries. Superior functional outcomes via fascicle transfer from the ulnar and median nerves have resulted in this transfer being considered the mainstay of recovery of elbow flexion in patients with intact C8 and T1 function. An understanding of the anatomy of the musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) and its branching pattern is key while performing these transfers.
A prospective cohort study was conducted in patients who underwent nerve transfer for the restoration of elbow flexion following a traumatic brachial plexus injury. The anatomic course and branching pattern of the MCN were recorded in eligible cases, both as a line diagram and using intraoperative photographs.
One hundred fifty patients underwent nerve transfer for the restoration of elbow flexion following an injury to the brachial plexus. The MCN in 138 patients (92%) was found to pierce the coracobrachialis muscle before emerging lateral to it. One hundred thirty-four patients (89.3%) demonstrated the "classical" anatomy. One hundred fifteen patients (76.6%) had a single primary branch to the biceps, whereas 25 patients (16.6%) demonstrated a discrete motor branch to each head. One hundred thirty-three dissections (88.6%) revealed a single muscular branch to the brachialis arising posteromedially from the MCN, distal to the origin of the branch to the biceps brachii. Notable unreported variations, such as the MCN penetrating the biceps as it descended, multiple brachialis branches, and trifurcation of divisions of the MCN, were documented.
Variations in MCN anatomy are quite common, and even unreported variations can be encountered.
Exploration of the MCN and its branches for nerve transfers requires knowledge of these anatomic variations and vigilance to prevent inadvertent injuries while dissecting them for nerve transfer surgery.

Q: How to enable local (i.e. offline) help in SSMS 2016?
Let's have simple
SELECT 'a'

Whenever I press F1 on SELECT keyword, standalone installed SSMS 2016 launches web browser to display online help.
I want F1 to open local help for SELECT keyword.
What I have done so far:

*

*Menu Help > Add or Remove Help Content, added books SQL Shared Language reference, Books Online, Developer Reference so help page for SELECT (Transact-SQL) is now available in help index.

*Migrated help repository from C: to some more convenient place.
What else needs to be done?
Maybe checking option "I want to use local help" in help settings? But it is not present any more in SSMS 2016.
I also examined the Registry and was hunting for proper registry key(s) listening to SSMS using Process Monitor tool, but the SSMS did not seem to read anything resembling online/offline option at the moment of pressing F1.

*

*If you think that the above steps to enable local help should be enough, consider upvoting subsequent bug report at the Microsoft.

A: SSMS 2016 help is broken.  See these connect items, which you can vote for:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/2826366/f1-help-in-ssms-2016-always-opens-online-content-ignores-local-help-library
and
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/2828609/ssms-2016-help-viewer-1-1-pops-up-help-docs-never-found

UPDATE:
the issue came fixed in SSMS 2016.4.1. From download page:

Fixed an issue where the F1 Help always opened online content. Users can now select whether they prefer online or offline help via the "Set Help Preference" in the Help menu.

Not too long ago, I received the book I Can…Believe in Myself by Miriam Laundry. This book is part of the "I Can" Book Series written by Miriam Laundry to empower children to believe in themselves.
From time to time I receive children's books on review, and when I get them, my children and I anxiously open the box and take the book out for a once over.
We flip through the book's pages, checking out the pictures and seeing how long the story is.
If time allows right then and there, we'll snuggle on the couch and I'll read the story to them. Then we'll talk about what they liked and what they didn't like.
All of that happened with this book. My kids were impressed with the story. They really liked the pictures. And they felt sorry for the main character because she had to speak in front of her class on Show-and-Tell day and she was afraid to. The book tells the story of what happens when the girl tells her teacher that she can't talk so she won't be able to do Show-and-Tell. She ends up spending the day listening instead. And by doing that, she hears all of her friends telling themselves that they can't do things even though she knows that they can, they just have to try.
I thought it was a great story and a wonderful way to teach kids how to believe in themselves. And even better, my daughter is at that stage where she's picking words off the page that she recognizes, and this book had enough text on each page to make her feel like she was reading a big girl book, but at the same time, the simple, straightforward language conveyed the story's message and gave her confidence in her reading ability.
A bonus in our case was one of the main character's classmates has the same name as my daughter. She loved that!
The next night and the night after that and the night after that, we read the story. It has become a favourite in our house. It's interesting, funny, engaging, and it teaches a great lesson from a child's perspective. Both my kids love this book. They identified with the characters and they understood what the little girl was going through. They especially loved how it all turned out in the end. And now around my house I hear my kids talking about how they CAN do whatever it is they are trying to do. A great lesson from a great book!
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of I Can…Believe in Myself for this review. I was not compensated in any other way. The opinions expressed above are my own and those of my children who shared in this review experience.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized and tagged believe, book reviews, books, courage, Kids, kidslit, reading, reviews, Reviews & plugs on August 9, 2013 by Nancy.
SOunds like a good book with a good moral.
My daughter loves this book! It is a great confidence builder and it recently helped my daughter reach her goal of riding a two-wheeler!
After my 8 year old sister read this book, she decided to let go of one of her "I CAN'TS" She went outside on her brand new 2 wheel bike and practiced and practiced until she finally rode it by herself. We have this book to thank for that!


Dennis Publishing, who own and operate sites such as Expert Reviews and Alphr, wanted to monetise their traffic and drive incremental revenue.
They saw an opportunity to leverage their traffic to promote broadband offers, but wanted to do so without having to develop extensive relationships with ISPs.
We provided Dennis Publishing with a content widget which was to be inserted into broadband articles on the Expert Reviews website. Requiring almost zero development resource, it was a quick plug and play solution. Utilising our content widgets, it allowed them to begin promoting broadband offers and generating revenue, without the need to invest time or money on development. All commercial relations were taken care of as well.
We were able to provide them with this solution within one day of request.
After just a week of having the widget in place, we've seen an increase in orders that is delivering a healthy commission rate for Dennis Publishing. As a result of this success, they are looking at ways to roll the solution out across other areas of the site and their publishing network.
If you want to find out more about content widgets, speak to our talented comparison team here.


In 2011, Shell and Eni paid $1.1 billion to Malabu Oil and Gas, a front company secretly owned by a former Nigerian oil minister This crooked deal deprived Nigeria's people of a sum worth 80% of its 2015 healthcare budget. Shell and Eni have always denied that they knew the money would go to Malabu, but documents seen by Global Witness show that the companies constructed the deal knowing that the money would flow ultimately to Etete's company. Given that the block in question is estimated to hold as much as 9.23 billion barrels in probable reserves, investors face substantial losses from a backroom deal they knew nothing about.
This shows exactly why a rule now under threat from Republican lawmakers and Big Oil in the US is so important. The Cardin-Lugar anti-corruption provision requires companies to disclose what they pay foreign governments for natural resources – deals just like this one. After long delays in finalizing the rule due to oil industry opposition, it was issued in June 2016. Had the measure been in place in 2011, this crooked deal would never have gone through, leaving the companies' investors and the Nigerian people much better off. The rule is now under threat as Republicans plan to introduce a resolution to void this important provision.
"This is historic. Generations of Nigerians have been robbed of life-saving services while oil men have grown rich at their expense. With US Republicans supporting the corrupt by slashing landmark laws and appointing an oil executive as their most important diplomat, it is inspiring to see Nigeria fight back. Now that Shell and Eni are finally facing consequences, companies and their investors must understand they can no longer do backdoor deals with corrupt officials without paying a hefty price," said Simon Taylor of Global Witness.
The EFCC was granted an order for the block to be returned to the Nigerian Government, pending the prosecution of the oil companies involved. The EFCC's affidavit labels the oil block as "proceeds of crime" and states that Nigerian authorities are "in the process of preferring a further charge bothering on Conspiracy, Bribery, Official Corruption and Money Laundering" against Shell and Eni subsidiaries. The EFCC alleges that Shell and Eni "conspired" with the Nigerian Attorney General in 2011, Mohammed Adoke, to send the payment of "$1.2 Billion bribe money through Federal Government Escrow Account with JP Morgan Chase Bank".
Nick Hildyard of The Corner House said, "We applaud the Nigerian Government for fighting back against corruption without fear or favour. Authorities in the US, UK, Italy and the Netherlands need to continue to do their bit in holding all parties responsible to account."
Eni has not received notification of the court order, spokesman Roberto Carlo Albini told The Associated Press. "Eni denies any wrongdoing," he said. Shell Nigeria spokesman Bamidele Olugbenga Odugbesan also told the Associated Press he had no comment.
In December 2016 money Laundering charges were filed by the EFCC against Dan Etete and the former Nigerian Attorney General and Justice Minister Mohammed Adoke. In a statement in December 2016, Mohammed Adoke said "I hope to at the appropriate time make myself available to defend the charge for what whatever its worth," he also emphasized that he did not benefit from the deal, which he said saved the government from a breach of contract suit in which Shell was claiming $2 billion. He called the charges "orchestrated plans to bring me to public disrepute in order to satisfy the whims and caprices of some powerful interests on revenge mission."
The past 24 hours have seen an unprecedented number of gifts to Exxon and the oil industry, said Global Witness today.


Wilton House opened its doors to the general public on the 1st May 1951 and this 460 year old building with its history, architecture, art treasures and 21 acres of gardens and parkland has attracted visitors from all over the world.
Wilton House stands on the site of a ninth century nunnery founded by King Alfred. This, in turn, was replaced by a twelfth century Benedictine abbey which, with its surrounding lands, was surrendered at the time of the Dissolution of the monasteries, to King Henry V111, who gave them to William Herbert around 1542. Wilton House has remained in the family since that time and is the home of the Earl of Pembroke.


Since being founded in 1977, Dalarna University has experienced rapid growth and today is the place of study of some 16,000 students and 800 employees. Our two campuses - one based in Falun, one in Borlänge - offer a wide range of educational opportunities.
Many courses and programs are developed in close collaboration with regional business and industry, as well as other social sectors. The result of such collaboration is that over the last few years, students from Dalarna University have found employment in higher numbers than students from most other universities in Sweden, this according to the Swedish Higher Education Authority (Universitetskanslerämbetet).

The Director of Public Health may issue compulsory guidelines for any matter under the Public Health Act 1997.
It is an offence under the Act not to follow the requirements in the guidelines.
The following guidelines are in force in Tasmania.
In 2017, State Parliament passed an Act to make changes to the Public Health Act 1997.
The changes, which began on 29 November 2017, introduce new laws to regulate personal vaporiser products (e-cigarettes), increase penalties for supplying tobacco products or personal vaporiser products to a child, introduce 'fit and proper' checks for licence applicants, and include reporting requirements for licence holders.
As a result, guidelines relating to the sale of tobacco products were revoked and replaced with guidelines for the sale of both tobacco products and personal vaporiser products. The new guidelines appear above.
In 2015, State Parliament passed an Act to amend the Public Health Act 1997, make minor amendments to the Corrections Act 1997 and to repeal the HIV/AIDS Preventive Measures Act 1993.
The changes began on 1 July 2015 and relate to public health emergencies, notifiable diseases and contaminants management, smoke-free areas, safe drinking water management, the Cervical Screening Register and the Needle and Syringe Program.

Q: different ApacheBench test results with URL ending with '/' or not I'd like to check the performance of a php framework, Lumen. So I use ab to have this test. But two very different results came from the following two commads:
ab -n 100 -c 20 http://local.lumen.com/login/

and
ab -n 100 -c 20 http://local.lumen.com/login

the first one is way much faster than the second one. QPS is like 7000+ vs 40+.
My question is why, and which one should I trust.
If I visit these two URLs on browser, both of them leads to the same page, which is http://local.lumen.com/login. This page doesn't have much things except a captcha. I tried this test on another framework Laravel. The difference is still there.
P.S. Environment: win7 x86_64, wampserver 2.5

A: I am not sure how ab command exactly works but I am sure that server (apache) kicks in and does 301 redirect therefore PHP itself is not hit at all.
ab -n 100 -c 20 http://local.lumen.com/login/

example.com/login/ --- [301] --- to example.com/login
ab measures the redirect itself
when you do
ab -n 100 -c 20 http://local.lumen.com/login

ab measures the PHP execution time

It is all because Apache Benchmark does not follow redirects from discussion here https://stackoverflow.com/a/22164728/1564365
Here is more information about ab I found kind of usefull https://www.rsreese.com/benchmarking-websites-with-ab-and-tsung/
