H2O, Skiing, Hiding A$$ET$, Bitcoin, Ammo & More

In my conversations with you, you're telling me the skiing out west is great. The liftlines, not so much. Turns out Covid's a ski buddy. It's not unusual to see chair, after chair, after chair, with one skier per chair, each from the same group, to social distance. Insane. At least the skiing's good.
You're telling me from Park City/Deer Valley up to Big Sky and Whitefish, MT, it's good to be outside. I hear you. We ventured out to the slopes here on the east coast between Christmas and New Year's and had to contend with Covid liftlines too. The skiing? A little dicey. One run from the top was littered with a mix of group lessons, families, and race teams attacking the slope as if they'd been locked inside for months.
OK, books I've been reading: How to Disappear, Hide Your A$$ET$ and Disappear, The Modern Identity Changer, and How to be Invisible. Notice a theme? You, no doubt, have been reading about and watching Bitcoin because you're telling me all about it as if I live in a cave. I get it. When it comes to hiding assets, my takeaway? If they find 'em, they'll certainly become invisible—to you.
As for Bitcoin. I can talk about it at perhaps a high school level. In fact, high schoolers tell me how great it is. Talk is cheap, especially when you don't have much to lose. There's plenty of ways to buy Bitcoin without my help. On to the ammo shortage. Now that's an investment.
Friends who self-load tell me that finding the right ingredients right now is tougher than ever. Here's my tip of the day: Treat your ammo like gold. As a client tells me, if you need to site in a rifle, maybe do it with 15 rounds, not 30. Another idea: Try dry firing at home with some wall drills. Shooting is a perishable skill. Muscles are forgetful. Work on that muscle memory.
How is your island life going? Are you looking for a rural oasis upstate? Times a tickin', especially when builders are harder to find than ammo. Do more with less. Learn about my favored tiny homes and the F.I.R.E lifestyle movement.
Unfortunately, disruptions are a part of life today. I'm seeing a restocking of emergency kits. Do you have at least 30-days of food for every family member in your household? How about canned Spam? Please make sure you do, sooner rather than later.
Action Line: You can't survive without water. Here's a link to my special report. It's free, just put in your email address to access it. Pass it on to someone you care about. They'll thank you for it later.

When Mr Right comes at the wrong time/not in the right frame of mind to see
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take any thing for granted. "
"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."
"A wrestling match."
"which side wins?"
"Love wins. Love always wins."
- Morrie Schwartz
A real life experience taken from a news article, posted by saving bond and reposted here.........cos lot of relationships are caught in-between this tension of opposites...........
When Mr Right comes at the wrong time
Timing is everything, even in love. And when you are not ready to commit, you could end up regretting it
By Janice Wong
SOMETIMES, timing rather than love decides who we end up being with - or without.
Only some lucky people marry the loves of their lives. The rest marry the most suitable person who comes along when they are ready to settle down.
A friend in his 20s came to this conclusion after confiding in me that he had recently met a woman who is more attractive than his wife, and so occupies his thoughts more often than his wife does.
'If only I had met her before I got married,' he said wistfully.
But I think even if the love of one's life appears when one is single, one may not be in the right frame of mind to recognise him or her as such. And then love passes by.
Life is littered with near misses and lost opportunities.
I attended my ex-boyfriend's wedding last month, which triggered many memories.
We met five years ago when I was 23 and he 31. It was love at first sight. He had an established career, was down-to-earth and steadfastly religious. I was then working as an air stewardess and my head was - literally and metaphorically - in the clouds.
I was also - well, let's put it this way - not religious.
Despite our differences, we were soulmates. We had the same quirky sense of humour and shared long, intense overnight conversations.
But human nature is perverse. When someone is excessively nice to us, we start taking things for granted, instead of appreciating them even more. My ex sent me to the airport, fixed my PC, reminded me to take health supplements - and go to church.
He had everything I could want in a husband - except that I was not looking for one. A boyfriend was all I could cope with then.
I loved fast cars, danced wildly at Zouk and took off on shopping holidays at a whim. My life revolved around I, me and myself.
In the six months that we were together, he popped the question several times and talked ad nauseam about having children. He wanted us to enrol for a Christian marriage preparation course.
Yes, I did often fantasise about a Vera Wang wedding gown, but I was at that stage of my life when I was more interested in Guess than Baby Guess.
And where - dare I admit it? - I still wanted to meet other men.
So I was a 23-year-old with the emotional maturity of a 13-year-old.
Responsibility? Wasn't that for adults?
In short, I met Mr Right at the wrong time.
The more he talked about marriage and religion, the more I felt pressured and the more pressured I felt, the more irritable I became.
I was too impatient to compromise. Every trivial matter blew up as a big deal. My mood obliterated the good in our relationship and reached a point where I just wanted out.
He was heartbroken; I was sad but relieved. He still called me regularly, beseeching me to change my mind.The calls stopped finally after a year. Now and then, we say 'Hi' via e-mail.
I had a few painful relationships after that. Served me right, as those rude wake-up calls were necessary for me to realise the meaninglessness of my hedonistic high life. I missed the tenderness of my ex and began having second thoughts.
Perhaps I also felt more urgency to find someone marriageable before my biological clock reached zero hour. It dawned on me that I am not a pixie like Peter Pan who can flirt around forever. One day, I'd wake up sick and alone when my fair weather friends flit away.
But I was too proud and too unsure of my ex's reaction to call him until last year. The first thing he told me excitedly was that he had found The One. My heart tumbled to my feet. So, that's Fate.
If only I could turn back time. If only I had met him later. If only... what feeble words.
These days, I am more circumspect. I have come to terms with my loss. There is nothing I can do about timing, but I can do everything about my choices.
Sometimes, when the nights get lonely, I toy with the idea of marrying a platonic friend of mine, who often assures me earnestly that, if the worst comes to the worst, he'd be willing to marry me.
But I always dismiss that. I have already made one mistake. I should not make another by settling for second best merely for the sake of getting hitched - only to regret it soon after, as the guy who confided in me did.
Hopefully, the best is not over but yet to be.

How Can I Tell You What I Feel For You


Celebrity Jersey Cards is a regular series in which I create virtual trading cards for celebs wearing sports jerseys. Today, we combine wrestling with football.
Joe Hennig is a third generation pro wrestler. His grandfather was Larry "the Axe" Hennig and his father was the last "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig. Joe has not achieved the level of success as they did, but he is a one time Intercontinental champ and a 2 time tag team champ in the WWE. He donned his home town Minnesota Vikings jersey for his Celebrity Jersey Card. He was also joined by felow wrestlers Cesaro and Sheamus. Although not visible in this shot, Cesaro wears #80, while Hennig and Sheamus wear #17.
Starting her career as a fitness model, Celeste Bonin gained fame in the WWE as Kaitlyn. She was the winner of NXT for the third season and she also won the Divas title once. A native of Houston, TX and now a resident of California, Bonin wore the #52 Ray Lewis jersey of the Baltimore Ravens for her Celebrity Jersey Card.


Karen Russell challenges communications professionals to discuss 12 issues. Last year, I contributed with CA post, Conversation with the Boss. I'd like to extend the conversation and answer follow-up question, What is the biggest mistake I made early in my career?
Simple answer: Not having/demonstrating automatic respect for senior positions.
Seven years ago I walked into a pr agency thinking I would conquer the world…ASAP. My ego was HUGE. I had landed a great position as an account executive and entered the agency business above entry-level. I felt I had paid my dues in previous paid pr positions throughout college. What did these older people know or could teach me? I kept this attitude as I made my way into corporate/government communications. I was in for a rude awakening.
My passion (outspokenness) led to senior management noticing me. I had a love-hate relationship with all co-workers and management. It was my way or tantrum. I grimace as I think about my past behavior. My quest for change was overshadowed with personality conflicts. I did not see titles; I saw obstacles.
My turning point was during a company worldwide manger conference. I had been invited to sit in on a think tank with the COO and senior leadership. This was not unusual. The topics discussed and solutions proposed were nothing new. I became frustrated and voiced my thoughts and opinions. I had no respect for the positions in the room. I was consumed with self-centeredness.
I am still with this company. It has taken quite some time to repair burned bridges and recover from my outburst. I may not like these people or agree with their tactics and opinions, but at the end of the day, it is their word and decision. Hopefully, I will rise to such a coveted senior position and I must remember the blood, sweat and tears it took to get there.
Leave personality conflicts at the door. Respect the position. One day some young pup will be saying and acting the same way towards you.
Good advice — this is one instance where your honesty and outspokenness are beneficial!
Thanks for finishing up my list.

Q: PHP MySQL X DevAPI Collection::existsInDatabase() method does not recognise Collections with additional columns According to the PHP docs the existsInDatabase() method is intended to determine if an instance of Collection exists in the database (as a SchemaObject aka a Table). But it only considers a Collection to exist if it's table's schema fits exactly that which it would if it was created using the Schema::createCollection() method, eg. Exactly 2 columns called doc and _id.
Is this a bug caused by PHP module being too strict?
Here's a demonstration (Depends on the mysql_xdevapi PHP module)...
Firstly, use MySQL to create a collection called 'people' in your db (as taken from MySQL's world_x.sql script in examples for JavaScript/Python):
CREATE TABLE `countryinfo` (
    `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
    `_id` varbinary(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
    `_json_schema` json GENERATED ALWAYS AS (_utf8mb4'{"type":"object"}') VIRTUAL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

Secondly, create a collection called 'people', very similar to above but with the _json_schema column omitted:
CREATE TABLE `people` (
    `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
    `_id` varbinary(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

Thirdly, use PHP's createCollection() method to create a collection named 'animals':
$dbSession = mysql_xdevapi\getSession("mysqlx://test:test@localhost");

$schema = $dbSession->getSchema("world_x");

$collection = $schema->createCollection('animals');

Now, use PHP's existsInDatabase() method to check the 3 collections:
$dbSession = mysql_xdevapi\getSession("mysqlx://test:test@localhost");

$schema = $dbSession->getSchema("world_x");

if ($schema->getCollection('countryinfo')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "countryinfo collection exist! ";
}

if ($schema->getCollection('people')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "People collection exist! ";
}

if ($schema->getCollection('animals')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "Animals collection exist! ";
}

All 3 of these are valid collections according to MySQL docs but the above PHP code only recognises 'people' and 'animals' as existing.
As a further experiment, use MySQL to add any randomly named column to the collection named "animals" (which was created via PHP) and re-execute the script to see how it now does not consider it to exist.
ALTER TABLE animals ADD COLUMN test tinyint;

Now if you use $schema->getCollections() and $schema->getTables() you will see that animals is classified under tables not collections. Drop that column and it jumps back again. Under the bonnet, this is how the module decides if a Collection "exists".
I suspect the PHP module might be being too strict. This a problem because it tightly-couples your database schema to a specific language. If, for example, I wanted to build a PHP script to interact with an existing MySQL Document Store that was originally populated via JavaScript it could be buggy because presumably that extra _json_schema column (or some other columns) would exist in some/all of the Collections.
I assume it is legitimate to have columns other than doc and _id as I have not found specifications to the contrary. I can imagine a very real use case for having a created_at datetime column on a Collection.
Alternatively, have I actually discovered a problem not with the PHP module but with MySQLs documentation? Is the _json_schema column a hangover from an early version that should now be removed? Is the definition of a Collection table now standardised across all languages and they must strictly have just those 2 columns as specified?
It's all a bit fluffy with MySQL being vague but PHP being strict.
Any help is appreciated. I will report bugs to maintainers if the consensus is that there is a bug.

A: ------------------------------- {edit April 21} -------------------------------
It looks like there is neither any error nor a change in the behavior of xplugin/server. Adding extra columns to a collection is not allowed. That _json_schema column from 'countryinfo' collection is not treated as something extra - it is meant for a new feature called 'schema validation', and is optional. So it may appear in the collection's table or not. Therefore given table is still treated as collection, no matter it contains '_json_schema' or not. Although, it is enough to change its name from '_json_schema' to e.g. 'json_schema' (i.e. just remove leading underscore), and it will be treated as extra column, so given table will be not reported as collection anymore (existsInDatabase() returns false).
The cited sample:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-shell-tutorial-javascript-download.html
is meant for 8.0.19, but it looks like that version of the server is already prepared for 'schema validation', while mysql_xdevapi will officially support that feature since v8.0.21.
in mentioned new version .21 after such call:
$coll = $schema->createCollection("animals");

the columns in the 'animals' table will look as follows
mysql> show columns from animals;
+--------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------------------+
| Field        | Type          | Null | Key | Default | Extra             |
+--------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------------------+
| doc          | json          | YES  |     | NULL    |                   |
| _id          | varbinary(32) | NO   | PRI | NULL    | STORED GENERATED  |
| _json_schema | json          | YES  |     | NULL    | VIRTUAL GENERATED |
+--------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+-------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

and it will be reported as a collection.
------------------------------- {end of edit April 21} -------------------------------
We've checked the behavior of con/php, and looks like it performs similarly as con/nodejs, i.e.

*

*'countryinfo' is reported as collection

*adding / dropping columns causes changes in reported type of 'animals' in con/nodejs or shell too (collection vs table).

Please run the below script, and let us know what is the output on your environment.
// please align below variables according to your environment
$connection_uri = "mysqlx://test:test@localhost";
$db = "testx";

$session = mysql_xdevapi\getSession($connection_uri);
$session->sql("create database $db")->execute();
$schema = $session->getSchema($db);

$session->sql("USE $db")->execute();

$countryinfo_table_stmt="CREATE TABLE `countryinfo` (
    `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
    `_id` varbinary(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
    `_json_schema` json GENERATED ALWAYS AS (_utf8mb4'{\"type\":\"object\"}') VIRTUAL,

echo "$countryinfo_table_stmt\n";
$session->sql($countryinfo_table_stmt)->execute();

$people_table_stmt="CREATE TABLE `people` (

    PRIMARY KEY (`_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4";

echo "$people_table_stmt\n";
$session->sql($people_table_stmt)->execute();

if ($schema->getCollection('countryinfo')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "countryinfo collection exists!\n";
} else {
    print "countryinfo collection DOES NOT exist!\n";
}

if ($schema->getCollection('people')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "People collection exists!\n";
} else {
    print "People collection DOES NOT exist!\n";
}

$coll = $schema->createCollection("animals");

if ($schema->getCollection('animals')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "Animals collection exists!\n";
} else {
    print "Animals collection DOES NOT exist!\n";
}

$session->sql("ALTER TABLE $db.animals ADD COLUMN test tinyint")->execute();

if ($schema->getCollection('animals')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "Animals collection exists!\n";
} else {
    print "Animals collection DOES NOT exist!\n";
}

$session->sql("ALTER TABLE $db.animals DROP COLUMN test")->execute();

if ($schema->getCollection('animals')->existsInDatabase()) {
    print "Animals collection exists!\n";
} else {
    print "Animals collection DOES NOT exist!\n";
}

print "done!\n";

in our environment the output looks as follows:
CREATE TABLE `countryinfo` (
    `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
    `_id` varbinary(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
    `_json_schema` json GENERATED ALWAYS AS (_utf8mb4'{"type":"object"}') VIRTUAL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4
CREATE TABLE `people` (
    `doc` json DEFAULT NULL,
    `_id` varbinary(32) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (json_unquote(json_extract(`doc`,_utf8mb4'$._id'))) STORED NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4
countryinfo collection exists!
People collection exists!
Animals collection exists!
Animals collection DOES NOT exist!
Animals collection exists!
done!

Besides, what is the version of server/connectors you use?

HEKS/EPER is making a difference in the «Intercultural interpreting and mediation» in India
After 60 years of development cooperation, HEKS/EPER left India at the end of 2020.
It was a ground-breaking and pioneering move when HEKS/EPER founded a mechanical training workshop for rural youth in Kerala in 1958. That was its first ever project to be launched in a developing country in the South. In the ensuing years HEKS/EPER teamed up with Indian partner organizations to mount various projects for underprivileged and marginalized population groups such as casteless people (Dalits), women, or India's indigenous people (Adivasis).
Mobilization around land has been one of the major HEKS/EPER successes in India: Over the past ten years, more than 100,000 Dalit and Adivasi families were able to secure land titles with the help of HEKS/EPER and its partner organizations. HEKS/EPER has also been highly instrumental in reintroducing agro-ecological farming in its project regions. Activities and practices such as vermicomposting, initiated by HEKS/EPER, have been incorporated into government programmes and will therefore be continued on a lasting basis. HEKS/EPER has now withdrawn from India and definitively handed over responsibility for projects to its partner organizations. This is also our ultimate goal as well as our expectation from sustainable development cooperation. People should not come to depend on aid. Instead, we aspire through our projects to help empower them to take over responsibility and claim the rights to which they are entitled. We came not to stay but to work towards the day when we would no longer be needed.
Swiss Church Aid (HEKS/EPER)

Intercultural interpreting and mediation are indispensable if people are to understand one another across language and cultural divides. Intercultural interpreting enables patients, for example, to understand their doctor. Intercultural mediators for their part conduct workshops on health promotion or parent education. HEKS/EPER provides intercultural interpreters and intermediaries in the regions of Basel Stadt/Baselland as well as Aargau/Solothurn, and runs parent education projects with intercultural intermediaries, as well as basic and advanced training courses in intercultural interpreting and mediation.


The official countdown to Christmas is on, y'all. There are only 11 days until one of the biggest entertaining holidays of the year. (And I don't know about you, but I feel so unprepared!

If a copier is a Multifunction Device and is configured as a print Release StationPrint Release Stations place a print job on hold and allow users to release it when required. Often a Release Station is a dedicated PC terminal located next to the printers, however, Release Stations can take other forms such as a web browser based interface. Some common examples where Release Stations can be used include secure printing, approved printing, and authentication. In a secure printing environment jobs are only printed when the user arrives at the print area and confirms his or her identity. This ensures the user is there to collect the job and other users can't "accidentally" collect the document. In some organizations it may be appropriate to hold jobs until they are approved by selected individuals. A good example would be a teacher approving printing on an expensive color printer. Hold/Release queues can be used as a form of authentication in an unauthenticated environment. Users must authenticate prior to releasing their jobs allowing PaperCut NG/MF to confirm their identity., you can define the operation of the Release Station. Devices providing print release functionality display a button to release all pending print jobs. On some devices, the visibility of this button is configurable. For information about Release Stations, see Secure print release.
When a device is in error, print jobs can get lost, refunds might be needed, and highly-sensitive documents could be compromised. Support demands can quickly escalate when you have to deal with frustrated users on top of resolving the error.
PaperCut MF gives you the ability to choose whether or not users can release jobs to devices that are reporting an error. If you choose to block jobs from being released to a device reporting an error, a message is displayed on the Print Release screen on supported devices indicating that the job has not been released, as well as directions for how to resolve the error. The user can then choose to either resolve the error or release to an alternative MFD in a Find-Me environment.
Not only do you have the control to block users releasing jobs when an error is reported, but when used in combination with the System Health Monitoring interface, you can be notified when devices go into error so you can resolve the issue quicker, further improving user experience.
Any print jobs that were released before the device went into error will still be printed when the error is fixed.


While all eyes were on the Oscars red carpet, this stunning look from Selma Blair at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party is one you definitely don't want to miss.
Her cane, which she now uses to assist with her mobility, got some customised bling ahead of its public debut, including her initials and a real diamond.
It's the first time Blair has made a red carpet appearance since her diagnosis.
It proved to be an emotional experience for the actress, who broke down in tears on stage.

In 2010, Greece said it might default on its debt. It threatened the viability of the eurozone itself. To avoid default, the EU loaned Greece enough to continue making payments. As of January 2019, it totaled 320 billion euros. It was the biggest financial rescue of a bankrupt country in history. Greece has only repaid 41.6 billion euros. It has scheduled debt payments beyond 2060.

On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance
Digital collection. Collections as data and machine learning project examining Jim Crow and racially-based legislation signed into law in North Carolina between Reconstruction and the Civil Rights Movement.
Time Periods: Civil War Era: 1850 - 1864, Reconstruction Period: 1865 - 1876
Themes: African American, Slavery and Resistance
On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance uses text mining and machine learning to identify racist language in legal documents, helping expose the wide-ranging effects of Jim/Jane Crow on the American South. The phrase "algorithms of resistance" is in reference to Safiya Noble's Algorithms of Oppression: How Search Engines Reinforce Racism (2018). If algorithms can reinforce racism, could we also use algorithms to fight racism? Instead of proliferating racist ideas, can algorithms help us better study the history of race and advocate for justice?
At On the Books: Jim Crow and Algorithms of Resistance, you will find educational resources including curriculum and reading guides, learn about research methods and access tutorials, and more. [Adapted from website.]

Jungle Fever – DVD Review
Jungle Fever – DVD Review Curtis Mayfield
Summary: It showcases ugly conversations about race behind closed doors and is buoyed by some career-defining performances.
Okay its confession time. It took a viewing of Mo Better Blues (1991) to appreciate Wesley Snipes' acting abilities. To this novice moviegoer Snipes was known only for the Blade vampire series and a handful of action flicks in the 1990s, before his sad turn as a real-life prison inmate for tax invasion. Little did I know that his collaborations with Spike Lee include some of the actor's best work. This brings us to Lee's fifth film, Jungle Fever (1991). It is about a tense interracial relationship between Snipes' family man and architect character, Flipper Purify, and Annabella Sciorra's Italian-American assistant, Angie Tucci. Lee, who also wrote the script, has hidden a crack epidemic story inside a forbidden love story like a Trojan horse.
On the surface, Jungle Fever is comparable to Romeo and Juliet. However, as fast as the extramarital affair starts it quickly ends within minutes. Instead, Lee's camera focuses on Flipper's crack addicted brother, Gator (a fantastic pre-Pulp Fiction performance from Samuel L. Jackson). The movie is regarded as a classic in Lee's filmography but to me it was less than stellar. Sciorra's performance as a downtrodden unmarried family member in a house full of ungrateful men does not compare with Snipes' scene-stealing performance.
Angie is an interesting character as she navigates her overbearing brothers (Michael Imperioli and David Dundara) who know her every move, especially when it comes to her dating her long-term sweetheart, Paulie (a fantastic performance from John Turturro). He is too innocent for the harshness he experiences from the other characters. One scene has Paulie catching a beating from his neighbourhood racist pals for dating an African American woman.
Much like Do The Right Thing (1989), this movie is fuelled by anger that unfortunately exists amongst mixed-raced communities, even ones as big as New York City. Images of NYC maps are used to establish the differences with how the contrasting characters live. Flipper, his wife, and daughter reside in Harlem, while Angie comes home late to make dinner for her father (Frank Vincent) and brothers in Besonhurst. Consequently, the movie dips its toes into the forbidden romance pool and to Lee's credit it follows an unpredictable path.
Unfortunately, the romance between Angie and Flipper is not electrifying and lacks sparks. Samuel L. Jackson's performance as a crack addict keeps the movie interesting. The scenes of his character visiting his over-accommodating mum Lucinda, a heart-breaking performance from veteran actor Ruby Dee, are particularly strong. While mum is trying to help Gator with money, his priest father, The Good Reverend Doctor Purify (that's actually the IMDB character name as played by Ossie Davis) offers less compassion for his junkie son.
Like other Spike Lee movies, the supporting cast includes present day and future stars. Tim Robbins as Flipper's unsympathetic boss is a nice touch for the megastar. A fresh-faced Halle Berry also appears as Gator's cracked out girlfriend Vivian; it is a unflattering but impactful role for the future movie star. Also keep an eye out for Charlie Murphy, Theresa Randle, and Miguel Sandoval. Some of the more affecting scenes feature Flipper's wife, Drew (Lonette McKee), talking heartbreak with her African American girlfriends as they discuss the awkward politics of interracial relationships.
When Drew and Flipper's friends discover his cheating ways, both sets of friends are more concerned with his mistress's colour as opposed to the adultery. Much like Lee's previous and future films, Jungle Fever is an angry, well-constructed film. It showcases ugly conversations about race behind closed doors and is buoyed by some career-defining performances.

Pirates Add Custer to Coaching Staff – Presented by Phoenix Communications, Inc.
WORCESTER, MA – The Massachusetts Pirates, Champions of the Indoor Football League, have hired Mike Custer to be their Offensive Line Coach and Special Teams Assistant for the 2022 season. Custer last coached with the Louisville Xtreme this past season.
The move reunites Custer with Massachusetts Offensive Coordinator Mark Stoute. Not only did Custer work with Stoute who was the Head Coach in Louisville, but the two have a history that dates back to the 1980's when they played semi-professional football in Connecticut.
Pirates Co-owner, President and General Manager Jawad Yatim is counting on the Custer-Stoute combination to produce positive results.
"Coach Custer brings a vast amount of experience in the indoor game to our staff.," Yatim said. "He has great chemistry with our offensive coordinator Coach Stoute who he's worked alongside for many years. He knows coaches terminology and understands his playbook which will allow for a smoother transition as we go into the season with a new play caller on the offensive side. We're glad to have him on board," Yatim added.
After playing college football at the University of Buffalo, Custer then played professionally and then went on to coaching at the high school level, collegiately, and eventually in the arena and indoor football leagues.
Prior to coaching with Stoute in Louisville, Custer served as an Assistant Head Coach with Stoute in 2019 with Cedar Rapids in the IFL. That was their second time around in Cedar Rapids. The pair worked together with the Titans for four seasons from 2013 through 2016, helping the team to four-straight playoff appearances and a record of 40 – 17.
Other stops for Custer include working with the Seattle Timberwolves in 2011 as an Assistant Coach, Defensive Coordinator and Special Teams Coach. Later in 2017, Custer coached with the Iowa Barnstormers and was a part of the staff during Iowa's 2018 IFL Championship season.
The 2021 United Bowl Champions; Massachusetts Pirates are members of the Indoor Football League (IFL). The Pirates play all home games at Phoenix Field at the DCU Center located at 50 Foster St. Worcester, MA, 01608. For more information on the Massachusetts Pirates please call (508)452-MASS (6277), email contact@masspiratesfootball.com or visit http://www.masspiratesfootball.com.

Given are the number of apples (N) and oranges(M) and k, i.e., the amount of money that chef has to buy apples/oranges. Each orange/apple costs 1 unit. What is the minimum difference that can be achieved.
We have a min operation in the second term because the optimal case is to make both the quantities equal. If we have enough money to increase the lesser one to more than the other one, then we would rather make them equal so as to have a difference of zero, which is optimal.
All 3 solution links are broken. Great. Don't know why such a well known issue crops up each time.
What is wrong with my solution? Can anybody please help me cuz its supposed to be working fine for all test cases.
In your while loop you are checking if(t1>t2) or not.
The second and third conditions are in the "else" section of your code.
You should check for all three possibilities.
Can anyone explain me the condition 3 4 4 ? According to the formula the answer is coming as 0.
But the answer should come as 1.
This is my code. It resulted WA. Can you help me to find error ? condition in if : n is less than or equal to.
The testcase 5 4 4 is not giving the right answer.
It is giving answer 0 but actually it should be 1. can anyone tell why> and if it is true edtior approach is wrong.
Please try to indent your code properly before submitting here if you want anyone to help you. I promise I will help you with this once you get this code all clearly indented. You can do so by just provide 4 times spaces before each line of your code.
This part seems to be wrong. Lets say I got t1=t2 in between, then I should print 0. But your program would further reduce t2 and print 1.
please tell me why this is causing an incorrect answer.

Bayin, a new Sesame and Peanut Oil company is a unique venture set up to bring a taste of Myanmar (formerly Burma) straight to your kitchen table.
Not every couple go on honeymoon and come back with a business idea, but that's exactly what happened to Katrina and John.
They decided on Myanmar for their honeymoon destination (situated in South East Asia neighbouring India, China, Bangladesh, Laos and Thailand), a country they had wanted to travel to for years as John's Grandmother was Burmese.
While trekking through the remote hills they encountered the delicious local Myanmar dishes cooked using sesame and peanut oil, and saw the abundance of crops all grown naturally without the use of pesticides.
Passing local schools on their trek they witnessed the lack of resources and the local children's excitement at receiving the simple notepads and pencils that John and Katrina gave them. This was where their idea began to form: if they brought sesame and peanut oil from Myanmar to Europe, they could help the farmers sell their goods internationally whilst giving back to local schools in the form of resources. What began as a philanthropic venture became an international business that supports the local community in Myanmar while bringing their unique oils to Europe.
Bayin's aim is to take you off the eaten track with Myanmar's naturally produced soul food. We at Newmarket Kitchen are delighted to house Bayin in our kitchen and cannot wait to see them go from strength to strength.

You have now decided that you're going to buy some commercial equipment. Enter the world of either high expense or sketchy dealers. Here at Newmarket Kitchen we always recommend buying new and the best you can afford. But like us, you'll need to start somewhere right?
Buying new. It's generally shinier and you'll be convinced you need the latest digital technology even for those special cupcakes you're making. But is it affordable? Catering equipment is expensive. The poor exchange rate with the UK makes your flexibility with buying from abroad even harder so you're limited to the cost price with local new equipment dealers. Warranties are key and it's best to go with a trusted brand after extensive research.
Buying second-hand. So now you're trawling the likes of Donedeal where you'll find most second-hand dealers advertising. Second-hand dealers can be tricky fellows. Imagine a second-hand car dealer and multiply that by 10. What do you look out for? Well let's start with the most basic stuff like tables and other stainless steel items. This is easy, so long as it doesn't require straightening or welding and when your only job is a good clean you're golden. If you think it can be fixed up by your fabricator take a few pics and flick them on to him for a quote first before purchase.
Can you inspect the item? What if you're after something specific and ask a dealer if he has it. His answer will be "Yes – but I won't have it for a week or so". This translates to "No – I don't have it but I will try source it from UK or somewhere, it will take longer than a month and I may not answer the phone when you come looking for me after a week to keep you on the hook".
They may provide warranties. Get this all nailed down in paper.
When you're buying technical items like electric and gas you need to buy with the most important thing in mind – can my catering equipment repair guy fix this if it breaks? If its simple electric and gas the chances are he can. If your item has digital components like motherboards etc. the chances are he most certainly can't. What all manufacturers effectively want is to maintain ownership of the repair by ensuring their affiliated trained repair specialists are the only ones who can fix it. This is all great but of course comes with a costly premium over your regular repair guy who charges by the hour/call-out.
Gas is cheaper than electric. Having your combi running all day, you'll soon realise that you're way better off running off gas. On the flip side, electric models generally have cheaper price tags than gas ones. It should be noted, almost all gas items need an electrical connection and you'll need to check what size gas pipe is required to run your item.
Age – ensure that there are spare parts still available and that the item is still competitive in current market.
Condition – does it look well maintained? Loads of bangs will indicate not. Take a deep look at areas on the item that should be cleanable.
Workload – hard to figure this one from your dealer's floor, but ask the question.
Quality – buy the best you can afford to avoid buying the same a second time with no recourse on first.
Brand – quality usually stands the test of time, research the brand's quality and durability.
As a final note – "buyer beware" and do your research. Unfitted kitchen space can be a costly undertaken, especially if you plan on using it on a short to medium term basis.
Food Information to Consumers (FIC) legislation Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011 includes new requirements for the way in which allergen information must be displayed. This legislation applies from the 13th December 2014. You can read more about the new legislation in the legislation section. To avail of food labelling training The FSAI have produced a variety of modules in their online learning resources.
It can be an extremely daunting experience starting a food business as you juggle all the ordinary business functions. You now have to learn a lot of new information from a lot of different sources in a short space of time. This can include information on registering for tax to figuring out the food labelling laws. It can be all very confusing.
Food labelling laws are in place so that the consumer can identify the type of product, the ingredients, the use by date and allergen information.
This is only a snippet of information that must be in the field of vision of an item so the shopper can decide at the time of purchase whether or not to select the item.
In recent years people have become more aware of what is in their food, this can be down to trying to eat healthier and choosing something with less calories or having an intolerance to an ingredient.
Before Consumers have often found the labelling on products confusing for example Sodium is no longer to be used, now Salt should be used in its place or using several different names for sugar and stating that the product is sugar- free. By avoiding the use of scientific language makes it easier to understand what the ingredients are.
The writing on the packaging must be legible and not blurred. The font type needs to be Times New Roman, 8 font, if the packaging is small then the font type can be Times New Roman, 6 font.
If the food is prepared with peanut oil or if gluten is used in a close space it must be stated as these ingredients can be harmful to some consumers. Allergens must be highlighted in bold when listed in the ingredients section. If a gluten – free product for instance oats are used in a product, the labelling must state the gluten-free Oats* in the ingredients list. There must be a statement on how the oats were prepared. *Oats used in this product and are gluten free and have been specially produced. If there is a possibility of cross – contamination of a product with an allergen then the allergen must be written with may contain …..
Food Information for consumers (FIC) are introducing new laws concerning the nutritional content of foods. It will become mandatory from 13thDecember 2016, packaging will now have to show (a) The energy value and (b) The amounts of fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt.
It can be a tricky process trying to work out the calorie content of every product when first starting out in business. It can also be a challenge to calculate each item on the menu, especially with menus that change on a regular basis. However, it is essential that consumers have the information to be able to make an informed choice on whether to have a healthier option or if they want to choose a less healthy option it is their decision as they have been given all the information to make that choice. If alcohol drinks or desserts stated the calorie content it may influence the consumer to choose a lower calorie item or have less than if they were not provided with that information.
With new legislation on food labelling coming into force in late 2016, this will benefit the public with increased information about the products we consume.

Said to be the best chicken sambo in Dublin, Poulet Bonne Femme is one of the great Irish success stories of recent years. Starting off in Sandyford food market, the husband and wife duo set the sights high. With their concession in a number of Avoca shops across Dublin and Wicklow Poulet Bonne Femme have firmly carved out a niche in the market, no pun intended.
They keep it simple and roast a bunch of meats. They also have a secret marinade that is delish! You'll usually see Lamb, Pork, chicken and beef. You get it on salad with classic sauces like mint or mustard.
So, you've decided to start your own business, what help and support is out there? Nobody intentionally wants to go on the Social Welfare, let alone stay on it for long. However, did you know there is support for Jobseekers who want to start a business? We normally talk about food businesses, however this information applies to a number of sectors.
The first step for anyone who has lost their job is to apply for the Jobseekers Benefit with the Social Welfare, have your business plan ready and apply fora Short Term Enterprise Allowance (STEA) previously known as the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA). Due to the changeover there is conflicting information about how long you need to be on jobseekers to be eligible for the BTWEA. The scheme states that you must be on a jobseekers payment for twelve months.
The STEA was set up for people who have lost their job and want to start their own business. It allows you to keep some of your Jobseekers payments and benefits for two years while trying to set up the business. Some of the benefits that the applicant can keep are the medical card, back to school clothing and footwear allowance. Rent supplement will need to be assessed.
The main criteria for this scheme is to be on Jobseekers Benefit (JB) and have paid 104 PRSI contributions. The allowance replaces your JB with a weekly payment of €188. Depending on entitlements.
The scheme provides grant funding up to €2,500 over two years. To see if you are eligible for this scheme.
A Feasibility grant is designed to assist the promoter with researching market demand for a product or service and examining its sustainability. The maximum grant given for this is €15,000.
Priming grant is a business start-up grant, available to micro – enterprises within the first 18 months of start-up.
For more information on how to find your local office to go Local Enterprise Offices (LEO).
Microfinance Loans are another option that assist start-ups and established businesses with business advice and support.
Microfinance lending ranges from €2,000 – €25,000 with a reduced interest rate of 7.5% APR (if referred by an LEO) for a duration of between three and five years.
The criteria to apply for the loans are having less than ten employees and a turnover of under two million euro The advantage of a microfinance loan is that it is available to all businesses and not based on a specific sector.
So, you have decided to hire? What options are open to the employer? There are two main schemes Jobbridge andJobsPlus.
JobBridge is a National Internship Scheme that will provide work experience placements for interns for a 6 month or 9 month period. Interns will receive an allowance of €50 per week on top of their social welfare entitlement for the agreed duration of the internship.
Jobsplus is an incentive from the Department of Social Protection to encourage and reward employers who offer employment opportunities to the long term unemployed. Grants of €7,500 and €10,000 are available to help with the offset of the wage costs.
Seed Capital Financing can be sourced from Enterprise Ireland with AIB and Bank of Ireland running the lending schemes. Enterprise Ireland has a total fund of €124million available.
The Strategic Banking Corporation of Ireland (SBCI), Finance Ireland will provide funding that is to be used for leasing, hire purchase and rental agreement options.


When moment resisting steel frames (MRFs) are subjected to seismic load, high shears arise at joint panels. The effect of panel zone yielding resulting from these high shears may become significant for the seismic behaviour of MRFs. In this paper, the elastic plastic behaviour of joint panels in rectangular hollow section (RHS) column to H beam connections are investigated by conducting a series of loading tests varying corner radius of joint panel (Test I) and manufacturing process of RHS column (Test II). From these test results and finite element analysis, a designformula for predicting plastic strength of joint panels in hollow section column to beam connections was proposed.

The international press is alight with reports of various countries considering privacy and anti-spam legislation. It appears that many countries have arrived at the logical conclusion that after years of supposed 'self regulation'; some marketers must be brought to heel by way of regulation and law, to stop abusive practices.
This is a groundbreaking development as, should the law be enacted, it will make Qatar the only country in the Middle East to have nationally-applicable data protection legislation.
The proposed definition of 'personal information' extends to any information that can reasonably be linked to a specific individual, irrespective of whether that individual can be identified, thus covering location data. Views are sought on whether the law should include the principle of Privacy by Design by imposing an obligation to design and develop products, systems and services so that privacy protection is included from the outset. The idea of accountability has also been included.
The National reports that some there are encouraging the United Arab Emirates to consider data protection laws along the lines of the Qatari legislation.
... the legislature should retain the clauses that require marketers to get explicit 'opt-in' from consumers before sending them electronic marketing messages.
If there were to be a national opt-out registry to fight back against the tide of spam, what should it look like? How about we consumers set the ground rules?
... the very people that exist to further the aims of companies that fill your inbox with rubbish (the Direct Marketing Association of South Africa (DMASA)) want to be in charge of keeping your inbox clear.
Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal informed the Rajya Sabha that the mechanism to end the misery of mobile users will take another six weeks to be put in place. The measure would follow the government's earlier failed attempt to stop pesky callers from harassing mobile phone users with voice SMSes.
Like in the previous mechanism, those who do not want to receive unsolicited messages could register their cell numbers with 1909 - the National Do-Not- Call (NDNC) registry created by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai).
Lastly, in Pakistan, the telecommunications authority is warning marketers to cease & desist spamming, or they will invoke what is perhaps the best title for a law CAUCE has ever seen, the "Protection from Spam, Unsolicited fraudulent and obnoxious communication Regulations, 2009" The text of the regulation can be found here.
As you know, Facebook have a long, storied history, including several ongoing brushes with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, and despite repeat warnings against abuse of end-user rights, they recently deployed facial recognition software with no notice given their 500,000,000 users.
Today, however was the straw that broke the camel's back. Unbeknowst to me, perhaps by way of their new 'Facebook messanger' [update: actually, by way of Facebook's iPhone app.] they have uploaded the address books of hundreds of millions of users' mobile phones.
I found the home, private, business and mobile telephone numbers of 700 friends, colleagues, co-workers, and associates (Facebook users or not) published on their site [update: on my account only - at least, for the moment, but nonetheless up on Facebook] - I never agreed to this, I never knew about this, and it was only by way of the Sophos blog post below that I discovered this.
There's been lots of talk today online about the latest Facebook privacy debacle whereby they have all your cell phone contacts listed on your "Contacts" page.
Facebook have been trying to quiet the storm, as people are posting to their status updates for people to disable this.
First, to combat some FUD: Facebook is not sharing this information from you with your friends. Your buddies aren't going to be able to call up your Grandma.
But what Facebook have entirely ignored, and why this is again an issue, is the question of permission.
I have two phones. One is a work phone (BlackBerry), and one is my personal iPhone. The only phone the contacts I had listed on Facebook came from is my BlackBerry, which is good, because I have a lot of random old numbers in my iPhone (don't ask!).
So what happened here? I believe that the latest BlackBerry Facebook app (which recently underwent a major upgrade) automatically set the preference to sync contacts with Facebook. Now it may very well have been in the multi-page user agreement that I accepted, but yes I admit, I don't read those things. And those agreements don't even appear on the iPhone version, because, and here's the fundamental difference I guess: the iPhone version doesn't transparently change your preferences.
Facebook needs to stop that. I don't care if it's useful, or if you're not sharing it with anyone else. I don't want you uploading my contacts to your servers without ASKING me first.
It's that simple. And this is why there are laws against what they have done in various countries, and why this will probably result in yet another lawsuit against them.
CAUCE are stunned by this move, it is beyond the ken. We will be calling upon Facebook to remove this facility immediately (it should always bo opt-in by default, as should ALL end-user options) and failing that, filing complaints with the proper authorities.

Muzyka na wodzie (Water Music) – instrumentalna kompozycja Georga Friedricha Händla. W katalogu dzieł Handla figuruje jako trzy suity (F-dur, D-dur i G-dur). Dzieło to stanowi przykład barokowej muzyki rozrywkowej. Jest to jedno z najpopularniejszych dzieł Händla.

Water Music została przez Händla wykonana z okazji przejazdu króla Jerzego I po Tamizie. Według części muzykologów, znajdują się w niej utwory, które powstały na trzy różne okazje. Zostały skomponowane na użytek szerszej publiczności, w ramach popularnej wówczas plenerowej muzyki rozrywkowej, granej w parkach i pałacowych ogrodach. Jednak badacz tej tematyki – Christopher Hogwood stwierdził, że kompozycja stanowi "jedną długą sekwencję części". Na kompozycję składają się tańce dworskie, tańce ludowe, kantylenowe, adagia, arie. Dzieło to przeznaczone zostało do wykonywania na wolnym powietrzu, co wymuszało skład orkiestry opartej na smyczkach i zwiększonej obsadzie instrumentów dętych.

Z powstaniem utworu wiąże się anegdota, która jest kwestionowana przez Christophera Hogwooda:

Drugim znaczącym dziełem Händla o podobnym charakterze jest Muzyka dla Królewskich Ogni Sztucznych (Music for the Royal Fireworks) powstała w 1749 roku.

Back in 2007 when Marc and I were angel investors, we read everything we could on the emerging techniques for building products and companies. We were hungry for any information that would help us understand the state-of-the-art. Among all the things we read, one blogger really stood out. He broke down techniques for distributing consumer products in a way that was so smart, so well articulated and so on-the-money that he turned product distribution into a science. The blogger's name was Andrew Chen.
Marc and I invested. Andrew and his team worked like crazy to build a great company, but they struggled to find product/market fit. Nonetheless, they continued to grind it out, developing impressive new product distribution techniques along the way. Ultimately, the company did not succeed, but our admiration for Andrew grew. Successful startups are a combination of ingenuity, hard work, and luck. While Andrew had almost no luck, he had plenty of ingenuity and nobody worked harder. Beyond that, he became the world's leading expert at consumer and bottom-up SaaS product distribution. We often thought about how great it would be to have Andrew help our companies.
Andrew seemed to be thinking along similar lines in terms of helping companies. He became an active angel investor and advisor for startups including Dropbox, AngelList, Gusto, Barkbox, Front, Boba Guys, and many others. Beyond that, he kept writing great blog posts and organized conferences to build the community and share knowledge about the field.
So when Andrew called me up to talk about what he should do next in his career, I had a very clear idea. I thought he should join Andreessen Horowitz and help the next consumer and SaaS entrepreneurs achieve greatness. That's why I am so pleased to announce that Andrew Chen will be our newest General Partner.


Questions of maximizing or minimizing function s arising in the various disciplines can be solved using the same mathematical tools (see maximum ; minimum ). In a typical optimization problem, the goal is to find the values of controllable factors determining the behaviour of a system (e.g., a physical production process, an investment scheme) that maximize productivity or minimize waste. The simplest problems involve functions (systems) of a single variable (input factor) and may be solved with differential calculus . simplex method .

Kelli and Bob Phillips are American journalists who have spent their adult lives communicating with their audiences via television, radio, books, video series and social media. They are best known as the co-hosts of the "Texas Country Reporter" TV show, the longest running independently produced program in American television history, where the couple travel the back roads of Texas in constant search of stories to share with their viewers, readers and listeners. The show is syndicated on the TCR Network in every television market in Texas and nationally on the RFD-TV television network. Kelli and Bob continue their long journey and are available for appearances on a limited basis. Additional information at www.TexasCountryReporter.com.
Kelli (Lee) Phillips first appeared on television and in print at the age of 14 in commercials and ads for various businesses near her home on the Texas Gulf Coast. At 18, Kelli became the youngest local host of Evening Magazine in the country when she was hired by KENS-TV in San Antonio while still a student at the University of Texas in Austin. She quickly expanded into working in radio on KTFM and KTSA in San Antonio and fell in love with the instant contact aspect offered by live radio. In 2003, after moving to Beaumont, TX., Kelli became the anchor of the Live at Five program and co-anchor of 6 News at Ten on KFDM-TV. When longtime 6PM news anchor, Larry Beaulieu, retired in 2011, Kelli was chosen to replace him on the program. In 2016, Kelli left the news business and joined her husband, Bob, as co-host of TCR.

Rather than go to my sketch group, I spent a good portion of Saturday in my studio. I did make progress, finishing two paintings and readying another two. In fact, for about an hour I was only two days behind on the 30-30 challenge-and then it was midnight and back to lagging behind by 3 again. At least I'm maintaining consistency!
The crab painting is loosely based on a photo my daughter, Kristan, took when she was in the Galapagos Islands. I have had that reference pic for a few years and have planned to use it. I'll just say that, while that was my inspiration, I took full advantage of "artistic license" in doing this. I think it's a fun, colorful little painting.
The one below was actually completed before the crab and I hesitated somewhat before posting it. I experimented a great deal with this and, while it didn't turn out well, it taught me a lot! And isn't that what this painting challenge is mostly about? It was rather out of control, so I just kept experimenting with different methods and finally had the gist of the reference so figured I didn't need to do any more damage to it! The bottom line is that, while I'm not very pleased with this painting, it's one of my 30 paintings and I couldn't not use it! Consequently, I'm posting it here also.
I did it – I got one more painting finished before Sunday ended! In doing so, I also completed another painting to post for the Facebook group, "Paint Colorful Birds for Fun" weekly challenge. As with the owl, it's a fun thing to do and yet another way to get inspiration for the 30 in 30 challenge. I must spend some drawing time now for the challenge since I've used almost everything I had ready to paint. So many ideas, but what will be next???
