I've gotten so many emails since the start of Wedding Wednesdays asking me to share ideas for wedding guests as well as brides-to-be. We have seven more weddings this year so I totally hear you! I decided to kick off these posts with a round-up of long wedding guest dresses perfect for fancier affairs (whether black tie, black tie optional, formal attire, etc.). If you have other wedding guest-related questions, feel free to ask away in the comments!
While some of the below options are seriously splurge-worthy, there are also a ton from Rent The Runway, which is definitely my go-to resource for surviving wedding season in style. I don't mind rewearing a wedding guest dress (particularly if it's with a different group of friends) but it's also a lot of fun to wear something new every time (often for under $100 a pop).
That said, renting a dress does require some contingency planning, which is why I try to have my dress delivered a couple days before the wedding (you can rent for up to eight days at a time) and come prepared with these adhesive petals (which are great to have on hand in general) and this fashion tape (perfect for faking an emergency hem).
I love the interesting neckline (and low back) of the first one and you can't beat the price of this one.
Can you tell I love an interesting back? This one is to die for and you can rent or purchase the striped one.
This yellow number would be gorgeous with a tan… and this shade of pink looks pretty on practically everyone.
This one is a perfect choice for twirling on the dance floor and I love the bow and pockets on this one.
I'm not usually a big fan of embroidery or prints but there's something about this design that I'm totally drawn to. Any favorites for you? More wedding guest requests?
Love this! I recently rented my first gown from RTR, and it was a great experience! I love the high-low pink gown.
I wore number one a few weeks ago to a wedding and it was perfect! And I really want an excuse to wear 13!
This is just the post I needed! Will be attending a black tie wedding soon. My boyfriend is in the wedding so I want to make sure I look great as well. I really want to try Rent the Runway but I'm scared because I'm such an awkward size I'm not going to fit in to any option! I need to look around more on their site because I love so many of these you suggested!
The striped dress and the navy one with the bow are beautiful!
MAJOR inspiration!! I have so many weddings coming up… you're making me excited! I'm in love with #12!
Have you ever used RTR for a long dress? They have so many great ones (including the bunch that you have highlighted here!) but I'm fairly petite, and from my understanding, even their "petite" fits are cut such that they would brush the floor with a 5″ heel on my 5'2″ frame. If you have rented a long gown from them, did you just wear very high heels, or do you have tips for how to manage? Thanks!

Co-founder · Amsterdam, The Netherlands · Show bio ·
Before co-founding Transloadit, Kevin worked as the research & development lead for a hosting company in Amsterdam. In that capacity, he was in charge of automating business and sysadmin efforts. He also designed web infrastructure for its customers. His expertise on scalability was put to good use in the construction of Transloadit's highly available platform. Kevin continues to improve our back-end as we expand and also loves to engage in product development and innovation. You can check out his blog where he likes to muse about coding and distributed systems.
Post-mortem of the outage on December 6
On December 6, the thing we always dread the most happened. At 13:23, we noticed capacity issues with our platform. It soon turned out to be a serious issue which resulted in downtime for many use cases. We are extremely sorry that we allowed this to happen. Uptime and reliability are essential for the service we provide to our customers, so we work hard to make sure that these outages are as few and far between as possible.
Instead of just offering you an apology, though, we'd like to give you a look behind the scenes and show you exactly what we did to fix the issue as quickly as we could.
Let's dive into a detailed post-mortem of events.
Timeline of events:
13:12 - We deployed preparations for switching to a VPC-based infrastructure. This included new environment variables, holding configurations — such as the subnets, security groups, load balancers to add machines to — specific to the new VPC we're creating for each region. In addition to that, it contained changes to GoInstance — a tool we wrote in Go that manages launching and activating machines, and taking them away again. The change did not embody the actual switch to VPC, it just laid the groundwork, while being backwards compatible with our current non-VPC setup. Going VPC allows us to improve security, and leverage AWS VPC-only features, such as instance types that have a higher performance at lower cost. The change was thoroughly tested, both locally and in CI, but due to environment vars being different in production than dev or staging, a mismatch could slip through unseen.
13:23 - The first pager hit came in, indicating we're running on fewer uploader instances than we should be. The issue went unnoticed for a while because loading new environment requires new processes, it took a while for our blue/green deployment to replace all active processes.
13:26 - Emergency Response Team (ERT) dispatched.
13:32 - It was established that we couldn't launch new machines due to invalid environment variables (mismatch in AMI-IDs and Security Group names). GoInstance was referring to unexisting values in some cases.
13:39 - As old machines were rotated away or became unreachable, we now ran on a single machine per region, which autoscalers refused to rotate away.
13:40 - The ERT fixed the mismatch and kicked a build.
13:45 - Twitter and statuspage updated.
13:49 - The build was deployed.
13:51 - Due to an unrelated bug in how GoInstance is built, it turned out the changes did not go live.
13:55 - Puzzled by this, the team tried to roll back the bad build completely.
14:01 - Due to the same bug, the rollback did not activate the changes either. As it later turned out, if we had rolled back further in time, it would have worked. To explain, a few months ago when we switched our stack to Nix, we introduced a bug that would only rebuild GoInstance if changes to it were bundled with changes to other parts of our stack. When we tried to patch GoInstance, changes weren't picked up and deployed to production. It took the ERT some time to figure this out.
14:08 - The ERT patched the aforementioned issue in our Nix setup and we were able to roll out changes again. We kicked another build and deployed.
14:17 - Both EU & US fleets were at their desired capacity again. Recently, a big piece of stack was added which had not been added to our AMIs yet, meaning machine launches were slower than we are used to.
14:34 - All services verified to be restored, all related customer conversations resolved, updated Twitter and statuspage.
What steps have we taken?
New AMIs have been built for all regions and machine types, making our machine launch times approach three minutes again
The bug in our Nix setup was fixed, so that changes to GoInstance are always reflected in our build
The mismatch in our environment was fixed
Together, these measures allowed for everything to run smooth again. We realize, however, that going forward, we'll need additional measures to make sure something like this can never happen again.
What further steps will we take?
As part of our deploy, we have autoscalers launch machines, this should have stopped the deploy in its tracks before causing damage. Unfortunately, it turns out that due to an unrelated issue, this preflight test was run on the previous environment, and not the currently deployed one. We'll address this so that this test will work reliably going forward, and be able to catch issues like this.
Other parts of our automated test suite could have also have caught the invalid environment, but they weren't testing for it because the staging environment differs from the production environment. We're currently investigating whether we can make our environments more similar.
Again, we are very sorry about the trouble we have caused you. Hopefully, this post-mortem was able to shine some light on what exactly caused the outage and what we are doing to make sure it never happens again. If you were affected by this outage, please reach out to our support team and we'll try to make things right!

In modern times, some fashion styles seem to fly in while others disappear overnight. Leaning about the newest fashion trends and how you use it is what fashion is all about. Keep on reading for some great tips on staying fashionable.
Belts can be a wonderful fashion accessory. Belts come in all kinds of designs and colors, so the possibilities really are endless. For instance, spice up your skinny jeans with a bright belt. Or, for a more formal look, wear a black belt.
Purses can make or break any outfit. If you must carry other bags besides your purse, be sure the bags complement each other. For example, match up your handbag with your briefcase so they complement each other. Avoid carrying more than one bag at a time.
A casual up-do is a great way to get your hair off your shoulders. This can reduce the hassle of long hair, especially if you are stressed out at work or school. When there's no time to mess with your hair, simply use an elastic to sweep your locks into a messy-but-charming bun.
Frizzy hair can be cured by purchasing shampoos and conditioners that contain some moisturizing agents. The moisture acts as a protective barrier over the cuticle and can keep your hair looking sleek. Additionally, avoid anything that adds volume to hair.
Before throwing away your beauty products, get out every little bit. For tubed items, get the squeezers that some use for toothpaste. Angle the bottles 90 degrees, then 180 degrees to get every little bit of product out. Removing the caps from product containers is also a good idea once there is almost nothing left in the bottle. These are cost savings methods that can keep money in your pocket.
Wearing wedged heels in both a sandal and boot is one of the latest fashion trends. They are popular with women because they make them look taller and slimmer. Just remember that you still need to walk with your wedged heels. This means that you shouldn't purchase heel styles that are too thick for you.
Every woman needs a few fashion basics in her wardrobe. Always have two pairs of dress slacks, one in black and a second in another dark color. Next, one pair of jeans to wear with athletic shoes and one other pair at the proper length for heels. Every female ought to also have the legendary "little black dress" for special events.
You no longer need to feel confused on the topic of fashion. There are a variety of paths to great fashion sense, and taking any one of them will help you keep up with your friends. Keep this advice in mind when you are looking to revamp your fashion style.


The workshop finally came and went. It was a day for creativity to flow and flow it did especially from the enthusiastic participants.
Natacha had 2 outfit changes during the workshop. Here are 2 representative tight portraits from those outfits. Taken with the Nikon 85mm/1.4 @ f/1.4.


The focus of this lecture is on enterprise applications, especially with regards to in-memory databases and a programming model for enterprise applications. The lecture will largely be based on the In-Memory Data Management book by Prof. Hasso Plattner, which will be given for free to all enrolled students at V-2.11 (Marilena Davis). Students can pick up their copy after May 1st. Parts of the lecture will be conducted in a flipped classroom setting, meaning that participants have to prepare parts of the content beforehand, which will allow for more dynamic discussions about vital parts of the introduced technologies and additional hands-on sessions. During the block week, we will have several guided discussions and controversial questions with the aim of reflecting the content and increase your ability to judge current trends and concepts with a focus on in-memory database technology. Additional presentations will complement the block week. After the lecture the students should be able to discuss and judge emerging trends of software engineering and data management in the context of enterprise applications.
In order to obtain the ECTS credit points for the lecture, the two parts (written exam and individual engagement) must be passed with a grade of 4,0 or better.

NEW YORK (AP) - The NCAA Tournament selection show is returning to CBS and its traditional bracket-first format for revealing the field for March Madness.
Last year, the Selection Sunday show aired on TBS for the first time since CBS and Turner became broadcast partners for the men's basketball tournament in 2011. The presentation of the 68-team field was tweaked, first showing the teams that had earned automatic bids in alphabetical order, and then revealing the 36 at-large selections in alphabetical order. After the teams were announced, the matchups were revealed region-by-region and the bracket was filled in.
The plan for Sunday is to drop the alphabetical reveal and get right to the bracket. The show will be one-hour, hosted as usual by Greg Gumbel.

We know that every child dreads going to the dentist and we do our best to provide an environment where your child will be comfortable. We provide flexible hours and invite you to schedule your child's appointment today.
From routine cleanings and fillings to extractions, we are your child's dentist.
We invite you to experience the difference we can make in your child's smile.
Would not trade Dr. Stamper nor Julie for the world!!! They are amazing and do what's best for the kids. Love that they make the kids feel comfortable and at home. Julie is great at remembering each child, makes it a very personal experience always. Highly highly recommend!!!
I took my kids to several dentists. Dr. Stamper's fees was the highest-even higher than the dental offices in Sugar Land; however, I found his skill set better than all the others. So what if I pay couple of hundred dollars more than other places. I know he is thorough, nice and very skilled.
Highly recommend! My son has been going to Dr. Stamper for many years and we've been so happy with his services. He takes his time, answering all your questions. His staff is very friendly and helpful. We actually look forward going to the dentist! I recommend Dr. Stamper to anyone looking for a pediatric dentist in the Houston area.
I like his whole teamwork a lot. He himself takes care of everything and the best thing is that they let the parents stay inside with the child. I have been taking my children to him since 12 yrs.
We strive to make each and every visit to our office a fun one! Request your first appointment online.


Once the world decides that real marriage is something other than natural or Godly, those who would point it out must be silenced and, if not, punished. The state must be used to do this. Consequently, the libertarian pipe dream of getting government out of marriage can never ever be possible.
Within a year or two we will see Christian schools attacked for refusing to admit students whose parents are gay. We will see churches suffer the loss of their tax exempt status for refusing to hold gay weddings. We will see private businesses shut down because they refuse to treat as legitimate that which perverts God's own established plan. In some places this is already happening.
Christians should, starting yesterday, work on a new front. While we should not stop the fight to preserve marriage, and we may be willing to compromise on civil unions, we must start fighting now for protections for religious objectors to gay marriage.

A massive hybrid genre projecting darkness only measurable on richter scale magnitude. Pounding the dance floor swiftly and mercilessly. Bombing it with frenzy rhythmics. Aggressive and repetitive, almost like mental blitzkrieg.
Stuff that grabs you from the guts without noise or sanguine saturation and always without boundaries.


Markets change. People's tastes change. What works now will change later.
The key is, as things change, look for simple solutions to get new results.
Things change fast. Often the answer is NOT the most complicated thing you can do, but rather the simplest thing.
Simple and done beats complicated, lengthy and hard-to-implement every single time.
If you have a problem in your business… or you're trying to adapt to change… look for the simple solution FIRST and then build from there.
The answer in this day and age is NOT to make things more complicated, but to make them simpler for both you and your customers.

From the late 1660's onwards, several hundred Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) mainly from the Mohawk nation settled in the region of Montréal. Most converted to Catholicism or underwent the process of doing so.
The Mowachaht and Muchalaht are Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations which formally amalgamated in the 1950s. Together, their territory includes parts of the west coast of Vancouver Island. As of September 2018, the federal government reports the registered population to be 613. Along with other Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council nations, the Mowachaht-Muchalaht are currently in stage four of a six-stage treaty process in British Columbia to attain self-government.
Murray Sinclair or Mizanay (Mizhana) Gheezhik, meaning "The One Who Speaks of Pictures in the Sky" in the Ojibwe language, lawyer, judge and senator (born in 1951 in Selkirk, MB). Called to the Manitoba Bar in 1980, Sinclair focused primarily on civil and criminal litigation, Indigenous law and human rights. In 1988, he became Manitoba's first, and Canada's second, Indigenous judge. Sinclair joined the Truth and Reconciliation Committee in 2009, before becoming a senator in 2016. The breadth of public service and community work completed by Sinclair demonstrates his commitment to Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Métis are people of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry, and one of the three recognized Aboriginal peoples in Canada. The use of the term Métis is complex and contentious, and has different historical and contemporary meanings. The term is used to describe communities of mixed European and Indigenous descent across Canada, and a specific community of people — defined as the Métis Nation — which originated largely in Western Canada and emerged as a political force in the 19th century, radiating outwards from the Red River Settlement. While the Canadian government politically marginalized the Métis after 1885, they have since been recognized as an Aboriginal people with rights enshrined in the Constitution of Canada and more clearly defined in a series of Supreme Court of Canada decisions.
In the interest of promoting a better understanding of the complex issue of Métis identity and how it is defined, The Canadian Encyclopedia has commissioned two opinion pieces exploring different perspectives on the topic. This article explores Métis identity from the perspective of Métis with ancestral ties to the Red River Settlement.
The Métis National Council represents more than 350,000 members of the Métis Nation, defined as Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and parts of Ontario, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories.
Scrip is any document used in place of legal tender, for example a certificate or voucher, where the bearer is entitled to certain rights. In 1870, the Canadian government devised a system of scrip — referred to as Métis (or "half-breed") scrip — that issued documents redeemable for land or money. Scrip was given to Métis people living in the West in exchange for their land rights. The scrip process was legally complex and disorganized; this made it difficult for Métis people to acquire land, yet simultaneously created room for fraud. In March 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the federal government failed to provide the Métis with the land grant they were promised in the Manitoba Act of 1870. Negotiations between various levels of government and the Métis Nation concerning the reclamation of land rights continue.
National Indigenous Peoples Day, 21 June, is an official day of celebration to recognize and honour the achievements, history and rich cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. This day has been celebrated as a statutory territorial holiday in the Northwest Territories since 2001 and in the Yukon since 2017.
The Nicola-Similkameen were an enclave of Athapaskans living in the Nicola and Similkameen river valleys of south-central BC (and, marginally, north-central Washington state), surrounded by Interior Salish.
The Nisga'a are the original occupants of the Nass River Valley of Northwestern British Columbia. As of 2011, 1,909 Nisga'a continue to live on traditional lands in this area. Granted self-government in a landmark case in 2000, the Nisga'a Lisims Government now governs the Nisga'a nation.
Northern Coast Salish peoples live along the northern half of the Strait of Georgia, east-central Vancouver Island and the western part of the mainland. Northern Coast Salish peoples include the Pentlatch, K'ómoks (Comox) and Shíshálh (Sechelt).
The Northwest Coast cultural area, one of six contained in what is now Canada, is home to many Indigenous peoples, such as the Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, Haida, Coast Salish and Haisla. Geographically, the region features extremes in topography, from wide beaches to deep fjords and snow-capped mountains.
The Nuchatlaht ("people of the mountain") are a Nuu-chah-nulth First Nation residing on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. According to the federal government, the Nuchatlaht numbered 163 registered members, as of September 2018.
The term Ungava, meaning "towards the open water," was used to designate the Inuit band established at the mouth of the Arnaud (Payne) River.
Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) are Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast in Canada. When explorer Captain James Cook encountered Nuu-chah-nulth villagers at Yuquot (Nootka Island, west of Vancouver Island) in 1778, he misunderstood the name for their nation to be Nootka, the term historically used to describe the Nuu-chah-nulth. The inlet where Cook first encountered the Nuu-chah-nulth is now known as Nootka Sound. In 1978, the Nuu-chah-nulth chose the collective term Nuu-chah-nulth (nuučaan̓uł, meaning "all along the mountains and sea") to describe the First Nations of western Vancouver Island. In the 2016 census, 4,310 people identified as having Nuu-chah-nulth ancestry, 380 people reported the Nuu-chah-nulth language as their mother tongue.
The Nuxalk live in an isolated fishing village on the central West Coast of British Columbia. In 1996 their registered population was 1185, with 706 people living on the reserve.
Obwandiyag (Pontiac), Odawa chief (born c. 1720 along the Detroit River; died 20 April 1769 in Cahokia, Illinois Country).
Odawa (or Ottawa) are an Algonquian-speaking people living north of the Huron-Wendat at the time of French penetration to the Upper Great Lakes. A tradition of the Odawa, shared by the Ojibwa and Potawatomi, states that these three groups were once one people.


Kurt Vonnegut is quoted as saying, "People say there are no atheists in foxholes. A lot of people think this is a good argument against atheism. Personally, I think it's a much better argument against foxholes."
That thought might offer a good start for us as we meditate on the question of a good God and suffering, an underlying theme of today's readings.
Before studying today's selection from the Book of Job, it's good to recall what brought God to speak to him in the first place.
What was going on in Job's life was more than just a storm; it was a tragedy. He was an upright, faithful man who felt blessed with great fortune. Then the devil bet against his goodness, wagering that Job's faith would prove unequal to the loss of the good life.
As Job's circumstances got progressively worse, "friendly theologians" tried to help him assume the blame. Certain that they understood the ways of God, they kept reminding him that good is rewarded and evil brings punishment, so it was time for him to repent. Job would have none of it. He knew he didn't deserve his misfortune, so he called on God to justify the turn of events.
The disciples onboard the rocking boat with Jesus had a belief system similar to that of Job and his so-called friends: Jesus should have been their safety net. Thus, the storm's increasing hostility was matched by their growing fear and frustration with an unresponsive Jesus. Where was God when everything was going wrong?
Both of these readings pose that question to realign our faith. Job's God doesn't stoop to the level of the theologians by defending divine justice in human terms. Jesus, fully awake to all that is happening, ignores the disciples' accusation that he doesn't care about them, and after overpowering the storm, he questions their lack of faith.
The questionable faith depicted in both of these readings rests on the assumption that God's duty is to provide health and wealth to everyone who deserves it.
That theology is very handy for the fortunate few of our world. It plays the double role of affirming the idea that their well-being is proof of their worthiness, while simultaneously getting them off the hook of responsibility for the masses of people who suffer. It also covers the poor, the victims, the innocent casualties of war and, yes, even martyrs, with a robe of culpability for their own fate.
In that poem from his Letters and Papers From Prison, Bonhoeffer suggests that while need can bring people to their knees, Christian faith leads people beyond self-concern to recognize and respond to God's presence in everyone in need.
Our reading from Paul's Second Letter to the Corinthians proclaims that Bonhoeffer's approach is possible because we are part of a new creation in Christ. Paul is utterly convinced that Christ's life in us changes everything so much that Christ's love actually "impels us" to live no longer for ourselves but for Christ.
Paul is trying to point out that because we are one with Christ, death can harm us no more than it can harm Christ. Note, Paul didn't say we won't suffer and eventually die, but suffering takes on a new meaning.
Now we are talking about faith that goes beyond foxholes and insurance policies. This is the faith Jesus hoped to find in his disciples as they went through the storm. In Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis teaches that faith provides an "interior certainty, a conviction that God is able to act in every situation."
Faith, he says, "means believing in God, believing that he truly loves us, that he is alive, that he is mysteriously capable of intervening, that he does not abandon us and that he brings good out of evil by his power and his infinite creativity."
Francis goes on to say that the fruitfulness of that sort of faith is "often invisible, elusive and unquantifiable. We can know quite well that our lives will be fruitful, without claiming to know how, or where, or when"
Today's readings invite us to evaluate our faith, asking not what it promises us, but to what it impels us.

Friends and family of missing Richmond mother paint portrait of loving, caring woman
About 200 people attend a vigil for Anneliese Heinig, with speakers sharing the many ways she touched their lives before she disappeared on Nov. 26.

BRUNSWICK — Jackie Anderson had missed a sleepover, where kids who'd be attending Mt. Ararat Middle School were supposed to get acquainted. So she asked a friend who went what the highlight of the night was.

"She told me she had met the nicest person in the world, and of course, it was Anneliese," Anderson said. "Then later when I introduced myself to Anneliese, she hugged me. We were 12."
Anderson shared her memory of meeting Anneliese Heinig with about 200 people at a candlelight vigil for Heinig on Brunswick's mall Friday night. Heinig, a 37-year-old mother of two from Richmond, has been missing since Nov. 26. She was last seen around 6:30 a.m. that day walking along Interstate 295 near where it crosses the Presumpscot River in Falmouth. The SUV she'd been driving was parked along the highway, with her keys, cellphone and wallet inside. It was found by state police around 8:30 a.m.
Friends organized the vigil to support Heinig's family and each other, and to share positive thoughts and their hopes for their friend's safety. As a wet snow fell around 6:30 p.m., people held small lit candles and gathered near the mall's bandstand, brightened by white Christmas lights. Heinig's parents, Chris and Anne Heinig, as well as about a half-dozen others, used a microphone to share thoughts and stories. Many of the speakers had known Heinig as a child growing up in Harpswell and as a student at Mt. Ararat middle and high schools in Topsham.

They talked about Heinig's grace as a ballet dancer, her skill as a competitive figure skater and softball player, and the vigorous training she did for track and field. They talked about how she experienced the culture and beauty of Honduras as a teenager on a church trip. They described a vibrant, joyous young woman who danced in high school production of "The Wiz," lit up rooms when she entered and was quick with words of encouragement.
"We were both pregnant at the same time and we were very young, 21, and it was very scary," said Katie Mae Card, a longtime friend. "And she said to me 'It'll be O.K. because you're a mom, and moms are strong."
Anne Heinig, her mother, told a story about a high school softball game where she overheard mothers from the opposing team saying Heinig was "too pretty" to be any good at softball. Heinig got up to bat and hit a home run, then later another, and several more, her mother said.
"Then these same mothers were yelling 'get back, get back' (to the outfielders) every time she got up," Anne Heinig said. "Finally I said to them 'That's my baby.'"

Anne Heinig thanked the crowd for coming to the vigil, and thanked state and local police for their efforts, which included divers with sonar in the river and an airplane search. She told those gathered Friday that there was no new information on what happened might have happened to Heinig.
"We still don't what happened or why she was headed to Portland that day," said her mother. "But we're here to focus on how many lives she's touched."

Heinig was reported missing by her family on Nov. 28, two days after she was last seen and her car was found, when she didn't show up for a Thanksgiving dinner. Though state police policy is to try to contact the owners of cars left along the highway, the Heinigs were not notified when the car their daughter was driving was found around 8:30 a.m. Nov. 26 or when it was towed later that day. Heinig's parents are the registered owners of the SUV.
Once Heinig was reported missing, Richmond police traced the location of Heinig's cellphone. That led them to a South Portland tow company that had removed the car she was driving from the highway at the request of Maine State Police on Nov. 26, the last day she was seen.
Family members said they, along with police, have been to Heinig's apartment in Richmond and found nothing out of order. Her mother had spoken to her on the Monday before Thanksgiving and said she was "in a great mood."

Family members doubt Heinig locked herself out of the car. Anne Heinig noted that the SUV was equipped with a numerical keypad to unlock the driver's door, so Anneliese could have gotten back into the car without keys.
When Heinig's parents picked up the SUV from the tow lot in South Portland, they noticed the low-gas light had come on, and the tank was so close to empty that a tow truck driver followed them to a gas station after the family picked up the vehicle. Family members believe she might have been walking to get gas, carrying cash on her and leaving her wallet in the car.
Heinig lives with her 16-year-old daughter in Richmond. Her 5-year-old son lives close by with his father, Anne Heinig said. Anneliese Heinig recently went with her daughter to get their nails done together, for her daughter's birthday, and the two were planning a spa day, the family said. Heinig works at a Brunswick company that provides customer service for other businesses, and loves the job and the people she works with, her father said this week.
At the vigil Friday, Anderson told Heinig's friends and family to remember to check in on each other and support each other as often as possible.
"Let's offer support and love to one another – and and pray for the safe return of our friend," Anderson said.

Q: jpa part of composite primary key also part of composite foreign key I'm having problems mapping thwo relations between three of my JPA entities. First of all, I show you the database tables involved:

*

*Ciclista

idciclista (PK)
  (rest of fields...)

*Prueba

idprueba (PK)
  (rest of fields...)

*Inscripcion

idciclista (PK, FK in Ciclista.idciclista)
idprueba (PK, FK in Prueba.idprueba, FK in Variante.idprueba)
  idvariante (FK in Variante.idvariante)
  (rest of fields...)

*Variante

idprueba (PK, FK in Prueba.idprueba)
  idvariante (PK)
  (rest of fields...)

The problem is with the highlighted field, which is part of the composite PK of Inscripcion, a FK in Prueba and part of a composite FK in Variante, all at the same time.
My JPA Entity:
@Entity
@Table(name = "inscripcion")
@IdClass(value=InscripcionPK.class)
public class Inscripcion {
    // ATTRIBUTES
    @Column
    private int dorsal;
    @Column
    @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
    private Date fechaHora;
    @Column
    private int estado;

    // RELATIONSHIPS
    @Id
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "idciclista")
    private Ciclista participante;
    @Id
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "idprueba", insertable=false, updatable=false)
    private Prueba prueba;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumns({
        @JoinColumn(name="idprueba"),
        @JoinColumn(name="idvariante")
    })
    private Variante variante;

//Constructors, public getters and setters...
}

@Embeddable
public class InscripcionPK implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -582735882125091352L;

    int participante;
    int prueba;

    //Public getters and setters, hashcode, equals...
}

I don't paste the rest of mappings because they didn't caused me any problem so far, but they have also references to the current entity (bidirectional mappings).
I get the following exception when persisting a "Inscripcion" object:

I dont Know if this is a Hibernate bug, if this case is not suported by JPA or if I'm missing something obvious.

EDIT:
I post also my Variante class, becaus it has a composite key too. I hope it helps:

ELA REPORT WRITING GUIDE: Welcome to the much anticipated UNIBEN Engineering Laboratory Report Writing ultimate guide. This article is to guide you on how to write Uniben Ela report correctly.
ELA as a course in the University of Benin stands for ENGINEERING LABORATORY.
The course ELA 201 and ELA 202 is more of an umbrella housing three departments [Mechanical, Electrical and Production]. ELA begins from 200 Level and ends at 400Level for most departments in Engineering.
Early preparation is very important so as to avoid any carry over or absent cases.
It is advised that you register the week the ELA registrations begins.
Your serial Number and the Manuals will be issued to you during this week.
You are to come along with a NEW 60 leaves note bookand a passport photograph.
Your date and schedule of each laboratory work must be put down as a reminder as soon as the ELA timetable is released.
You are to study the timetable and ask the coordinators any question if you are in doubt.
Try as much as possible not to miss any of your scheduled ELA date.
If you do, you are on a long thing as you will start increasing your chances of grade reduction.
Likewise, signing of the attendance list is compulsory.
Therefore, you are to sign as instructed.
Be punctual always at least 10 minutes before the ELA officially begins.
Always take note of what your instructors says as questions might be asked regarding the topic.
The instructor in some cases give away some answers.
A typical example is the PRECAUTION AND OBSERVATION SECTION OF THE MECHANICAL ELA REPORT.
Endeavor to go through the ELA topic you have before entering the LAB.
Don't just go there unprepared.
If you do, you will find yourself inside probably a lathe machine where you will be repaired as it will tell on your grade.
MECHANICAL ELA seems very stressful as the report is to be submitted by 4pm that same day.
That is why you have to be extra prepared.
Research on your topic and take note of any formula prove as this would make up the bulk of your theory section in your Mechanical ELA report.
Do not write verbatim what is given in the manual.
The space provided would not be enough.
Therefore, attach an A4 paper (1).
Make sure you avoid extraneous items.
As you step into the Laboratory, the instructor allows 5-6 minutes for the sketch of the apparatus of the apparatus in your ELA note.
He/she always calls the parts of the apparatus.
Therefore, pay raft attention and label your sketched diagram almost immediately.
If you have a smart phone, quickly snap the apparatus.
Although ensure you are not caught because at times there are some Kill Joy in the lab.
Your diagram should be REALISTIC, ISOMETRIC and 3- DIMENSIONAL having the labeling on the right hand side of your paper.
It should also be titled at the top and also a BRIEF description at the bottom of the diagram should be given.
The description should mainly contain the uses of the parts as described by the instructor.
Likewise, NEAT diagrams attracts maximum marks.
All tables should be drawn with pen.
Ensure that it has rows and columns.
The table(s) must be titled.
All quantities must have their specified units.
Your graph(s) must be titled, accurately, scaled and the axis labelled.
A space is created for your name, Matriculation number, Experiment code and the scale in your graph sheet.
Common sense should tell you that you are to photocopy the graph given if you are to draw more than one.
Your results and analysis section should contain all calculations made during the course of the report.
You might not necessarily write all.
Just pick up a few calculations.
Ensure that all figures are approximated to a significant figure.
The section D contains very straight forward questions and you are to answer them as it relates to the conducted experiment.
All references should be written according to the laid out example.
All sections should be completed without wasting too much time.
Remember that you are to submit on or before 4PM that same day.
Take note of the following codes below.
The represent the branches to which the mechanical ELA is classified into.
Electrical to me has more stress more than any other ELA.
This is because, you have more time to other other things and you will naturally feel you can do it and submit before the stipulated time.
In most case, when you do electrical ELA, you can't do any other thing that day again until you submit the nextmorning.
Therefore, lets head to the Electrical ELA proper.
Time of submission:- 10:00AM the next day.
Unlike the Mechanical department (Most organized), the Electrical department does not give an already printed worksheet.
Therefore, You are expected to use the center pages of an higher education note.
For a concise report, the maximum number of center pages to be used is 3.
The front cover page should be typed and maybe designed.
Although you can choose to just write it like that on the front of the page.
Therefore, It should contain your name, Matriculation Number, experiment code, Date and experiment title.
This is the typical arrangement that must be followed in any Electrical laboratory Report.
I used to wish at times why this is not the only ELA we do.
Production engineering ELA is the least stressful among the departmental ELA's.
Maybe it was designed originally to easy the stress gotten from both Mechanical and Electrical ELA.
Usually, the first visit to your production ELA is meant for only explanation.
You may although be given an assignment.
Usually, questions will be asked on the assignment when you visit again two weeks later.
Then you write a comprehensive report about what was discussed.
Finally, that's the much I can take on the topic "UNIBEN Engineering Laboratory Report Writing".


The PR campaign for the Medical Innovation Bill grinds on.
We use lots of unlicensed drugs, for indications like in children, about half the drugs we use in children are not licensed for children, and if we didn't do that we would be denying them curative treatments for things like leukaemia.
We want to do this, and if Iain Brassington's got a better idea for safeguards, please let us have it, because Maurice Saatchi is very keen to take all views into account.
Now hold on. Very keen to take all views into account? Is this the same Maurice Saatchi whose bill team have tried their best to airbrush the official Department of Health consultation out of history? Who didn't wait for the results of that consultation (which demonstrated overwhelming opposition from medical, legal and patient organisations) before attempting to drive the Bill through Parliament? Who continues to claim that the law prevents innovation and that his Bill will find a cure for cancer? Who promised to take on board amendments from the DoH, but hasn't waited for those amendments before publishing yet another new draft of the Bill?
Yes, you read that right. With all the crushing inevitability and misplaced enthusiasm of a key change in a Eurovision song, the Saatchi team have once again rewritten the Bill. This is now the fourth version, and it has been brilliantly eviscerated by Professor José Miola and by Nigel Poole QC.
We are in a depressingly familiar cycle now. The Saatchi campaign team publish a new draft, which they claim fixes all the problems of the previous draft and which fully protects patients. Critics point out that it does nothing of the sort. The Bill team airily wave away any and all concerns for a couple of months, before suddenly, out of the blue, publishing a new draft which they again claim addresses all criticisms. Repeat.
It didn't need to be this way. Earlier this year, Lord Saatchi made a tour of medical organisations and conferences. One such conference was reported by Dr Archie Prentice, President of the Royal College of Pathologists, here.
Meetings of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges can be tedious and divisive but this one was remarkable for the colleagues' unanimous, professional rebuttal of Lord Saatchi's assertions.
The irony contained in this polemic concerns the one and only time I met the good Lord. It was at the Royal College of Surgeons in February this year celebrating the 40th anniversary of the British Association of Surgical Oncology.
Lord Saatchi gave a talk on his bill before the coffee break and we met over coffee. I gave the next talk as the Ronald Raven eponymous lecture entitled "40 years of innovation in surgical oncology," in which I described how surgical techniques have become less and less radical and on how multi-modality treatments including radiotherapy and adjuvant endocrine therapy had improved both length of life and quality of life for women with breast cancer over the last 40 years.
Sadly Lord Saatchi was far too busy and important to stay and hear me out.
His words are both ill-considered and disrespectful to all the patients who volunteered for these trials and the clinical scientists who gave up their chances of a lucrative private practice in order to devote their time to research.
Lord Saatchi is hugely fortunate to have direct access to speak with and get advice from the major medical organisations. That he squanders this opportunity is deeply regrettable. While he continues to fail to take proper account of the widespread opposition to this Bill, and the deep problems with what he is trying to do, we continue to miss the chance to address some of the genuine barriers to the development of new treatments.

Concussion Is Sports' Biggest Headache
Head injuries remain a constant problem for sport.
0	November 5, 2019 17:11	by	Joe Paternoster
When Daniel James fell to the ground following an aerial collision during Wales' Euro 2020 qualifier against Croatia earlier this month, he appeared to have been knocked unconscious. He was treated by the medical staff and, after passing concussion tests at half time, finished the game.
Afterwards his manager, Ryan Giggs, claimed that James had never been unconscious, rather that he was being 'streetwise', simply 'using his nous'. Brain injury charity Headway were outraged at the idea of concussion protocol being used to gain some sort of advantage. Chief Executive Peter McCabe said: "If that is the case and James was 'acting', it raises serious questions about the player's understanding of the seriousness of concussion. Not only has he put his own medical team under intense and unfair scrutiny, but he's also set a dangerous example for the millions watching at home."
Even when helmets are used, the threat of head injuries remains real
Head injuries are not something which should be taken lightly. There have been a number of serious incidents across multiple sports this year, most recently the death of boxer Patrick Day, who died aged 27 four days after being knocked out in his fight against Charles Conwell. Day is the fourth death in the sport in recent months and there has been subsequent demand for greater protection for fighters. Although some see it as an inevitable risk of the sport, Headway's demands for the 'senseless sport' to be banned raises the question of whether sporting achievement is valued above athlete's lives.
Concussion is one of the most common head injuries, but is best treated when diagnosed quickly. Protocols in several sports are framed around avoiding what's known as 'second-impact syndrome' – where the brain's vulnerability worsens the outcome of another impact to the head, and so insist on athletes being removed from the situation. With the risk of serious brain injury so high, it is clear why there were concerns over Daniel James being allowed to play on when it appeared he had been unconscious.
Symptoms of head injuries can take time to present themselves, putting players in danger if they are allowed to continue, even if they insist themselves that they are fit
Even when helmets are used, the threat of head injuries remains real. Cricket has had serious instances of players suffering from head injuries, leading to the introduction of its own concussion guidelines. Australian batsman Steve Smith suffered from concussion during the 2nd Ashes Test this summer and after receiving treatment on the field was eventually substituted off – the first instance of a 'concussion substitute' in the sport. He missed the 3rd Test after failing to pass medical examinations. This would have been a particularly worrying moment for Australian cricket. In 2014, fellow batsman Phillip Hughes was struck by a ball in an area his helmet failed to protect and after falling unconscious on the field, he died in hospital days later in a medically induced coma. Hughes' death was a rare tragedy and the outcome could not have been prevented regardless of protocol, but development of such concussion procedures even in non-contact sports demonstrate how seriously the threat of head injuries is and should be taken.
Concussion substitutes is an idea also being floated around football, and if in place, would have likely been used in Daniel James' case. Medical teams typically take around 3 minutes to examine a player following a head injury, but the introduction of these substitutions would to allow more time for a thorough examination in the interest of player welfare. Symptoms of head injuries can take time to present themselves, putting players in danger if they are allowed to continue, even if they insist themselves that they are fit.
In appearing to be unconscious yet being allowed to play on, James sent out a message directly undermining all medical guidance, showing a complete lack of understanding of the severity of the situation. A promising young player has potentially turned himself into the boy who cried wolf; supported by his manager, he has placed a seed of doubt into people's minds as to whether all injuries are real or tactical, which is simply unacceptable. Head injuries need to be treated with the upmost importance in all sports, with the safety of all athletes always the priority.
