Cook, Apple's success take center stage at annual shareholder meeting
By Dan Frakes
Despite a couple dozen protestors sporting "Make Ethical iPhones" signs, the mood at Apple's annual shareholders meeting, held Thursday morning at the company's Cupertino campus, was celebratory—both for shareholders in general and for some shareholder activists.
The standing-room-only meeting attracted hundreds of shareholders, as both Apple's campus auditorium and the first video-feed overflow room were full before the meeting's 10 a.m. start time. The company used shuttles to take shareholders who didn't fit in the first two rooms to an additional viewing area.
New director-election rules
As is customary, the first part of the meeting focused on official business—namely, the reelection of members of the company's board of directors, and voting on a slate of other proposals, two from management and four from shareholders. But even before that began, Bruce Sewell, Apple's senior vice president and general counsel, announced a significant change in how the company's board of directors will be elected.
For a number of years, there have been shareholder proposals to require candidates for the board of directors to receive approval from over 50 percent of shareholders. (The current company bylaws allow a candidate running unopposed to be elected based on even a single vote in favor.) As is common in corporations, Apple's board has routinely recommended against the approval of these proposals. However, Sewell announced that, based on preliminary voting results, Apple shareholders overwhelmingly want majority voting, and so the company is going to change its bylaws to honor that preference.
Sewell also explained that because the change requires a number of modifications to the company's articles and bylaws, the new policy will go into effect next year. However, he added that each current director had voluntarily agreed to resign if he or she did not receive the approval of a majority of shareholders. In the question-and-answer session later in the meeting, a representative from CalPERS (the California Public Employees' Retirement System), the sponsor of the proposal, applauded the move, saying it was a win for democracy in corporate governance.
None of the current directors was at risk of losing a spot on the board, however, as in preliminary voting, each received over 80 percent of shareholder support. Specifically, Tim Cook received 98.2 percent; Ronald Sugar, 97.9 percent; Robert Iger, 97.8 percent; Andrea Jung, 94.0 percent; William Campbell, 88.6 percent; Millard Drexler, 88.2 percent; Arthur Levinson, 84.0 percent; and Al Gore, 81.4 percent.
Sewell also announced the results of preliminary voting for six other proposals (PDF link), with proposals approving of the current executive compensation report and the aforementioned majority voting passing; proposals on requiring conflict-of-interest reports, shareholder input on director pay, and reports on political contributions and expenditures failed.
Before taking questions, Apple CEO Tim Cook spent some time reflecting on the previous year, noting that this was the first shareholder meeting since the passing of company founder and former CEO Steve Jobs. Thanking those in attendance for their support and condolences, Cook explained that Jobs's death had an effect on everyone in the company, but that "sometime in the days after, that sadness turned into a determination to continue the journey" Jobs started.
Cook then reeled off the now-familiar litany of Apple's 2011 successes, calling it "mind-boggling that it happened in one year":
New iPhones: "Siri is a word that's now recognized in almost every country in the world."
New iPads: "I can't imagine my life without [the iPad]...it's the most fabulous device I've ever had."
New Macs: Three new model lines represented "constant innovation in the Mac space. The #1 best-selling PC last quarter was the MacBook Pro."
A new version of iOS: "The developer base grew even larger. There are now over 550,000 apps—Apple has become a jobs platform."
A new version of OS X: "and just seven months later, we're previewing Mountain Lion." (Note to everyone: Cook called it "the Mac OS.")
The iPod: Still over 70 percent of the market in the U.S., with nearly that in some other countries.
The iTunes Store: "We're very close to 25 billion downloads. It's hard to intellectually comprehend that number."
Retail stores: Now over 360 stores around the world, and 110 million people visited them in the previous quarter. "We used to think Macworld [Expo] was fantastic when 50,000 came." Cook also told attendees that if they haven't seen the new Grand Central Station Store, "seeing it will make you proud to be an Apple Shareholder."
Revenue: $108 billion in revenue in 2011, $43 billion more than the year before. "That growth is more than the growth of HP, Dell, Nokia, HTC, Google, and RIM combined—it's really mind-blowing."
Cook ended the summary with a few words of grattitude: "For all of those who believed in us and stuck with us over the years, I thank you. Thank you very much."
For many shareholders, the highlight of the annual meeting is the question-and-answer period, where anyone can line up for a chance to ask a question of the management team—it's one of the rare opportunities to see Apple executives interact publicly with people other than financial analysts. Though some people worried that protests, spurred by the controversy over working conditions at Apple's China-based suppliers, might disrupt the morning's proceedings, the roughly 25 protestors who showed up were limited to the public sidewalks at the entrance to the Cupertino campus. And inside the meeting, none of the questioners even mentioned Foxconn or factories, even in the context of how the controversy might affect the company's financials.
Indeed, of the seven or eight shareholders who had a chance to speak and ask questions in the short open-mic period, all were congratulatory, with only minor criticisms presented; this year, shareholders seem pretty satisfied with their lot, and were more interested in how Apple was going to continue its run of successes.
CEO Tim Cook, senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller, and senior vice president and chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer fielded the questions this year. Among the topics they addressed were Apple's mountain of cash, video-content distribution, social networking, education, and stock splits. (Quotes may not be exact, as Apple does not allow computers or recording devices in shareholder meetings.)
Cook, on the company's cash hoard: "We've spent billions on our supply chain, building our retail stores, and purchasing companies and intellectual property. We've spent a lot, but we still have a lot. The board and management team are in active discussions...we will do what we believe is in the best interests of the company and the shareholders."
Cook, on some shareholders disagreeing with the board's decisions (and ribbing board member Al Gore, in attendance): "It's difficult to get 100-percent agreement or votes...sometimes even a majority...Al, as you know, sometimes it doesn't even matter if you get the majority of votes."
Cook, in response to a shareholder urging the company to use its cash hoard to come up with an alternative to Netflix, Hulu, and the like for video-content distribution: "There are plenty of apps that provide content, and users want those apps. We get profit from selling devices...our focus is not on making a lot of money in content...An a la carte video system isn't likely to arrive quickly, because the money is big for the companies involved."
Schiller, on the same topic: "Just as we did with music, we have to find a solution for the content owners as well as the customers, and for Apple."
Cook, on whether Facebook is a friend or foe: "Facebook is a friend—we do a lot with them, and our users use them a lot. There aren't significant areas where the companies overlap, and I believe the two companies can do more together" And on social networking in general: "We've integrated Twitter into iOS, and we think iMessages is social networking."
Cook, in response to the best question of the day ("I just bought a new 55-inch LG TV for the SuperBowl, and I have 60 days to return it. Should I return it?"): "I'm not going to comment on that, but I will say that the Apple TV is an incredible product, and it's only $99. It will work great with your TV."
Schiller, in response to a rumor that Apple is working on "iLive, the home of the future": "Don't believe everything you read."
Cook, responding to a former scientist's request that Apple do more in education by sponsoring engineering and science scholarships: "We believe that education is a great equalizer." The percentage of Apple's matching-gift program going towards education is incredible—"it's just a start, but it's really good and it's really big." "I believe the contributions Apple will make to education will come from our products [such as iBooks Author] because they have a multiplier effect on students and teachers." Cook also noted that last year, Apple provided over $750,000,000 in equipment and equipment discounts to education.
Oppenheimer, also on the topic of education: Last summer was Apple's biggest internship program ever, with more than 600 interns on the Cupertino campus alone and many hundreds more around the world.
Cook, on the topic of a stock split: History shows that most stock splits don't actually help the stock over the long run; in fact, because of additional transaction costs, it may hurt. However, the company regularly talks about everything that might be in the shareholders' best interests, and will continue to do so.
Cook wrapped up the meeting with a general note of thanks, and a comment clearly designed to tease: "We're working hard as a team this year, and we've got some incredible products that will blow your mind."

To produce results that will have ALL your guests asking "Wow! How do you get that flavour?" and "What's in that sauce? " takes something a little bit special.
That special something is Khwanjais' own recipe coupled with her know how which she shares in the full video tutorial Thai BBQ Chicken Class plus a super BBQ Dipping Sauce to go with it.

Q: cygwin: ls -i reports wrong inode number for files in UNC path I have a multiple-version backup, that uses hard links for files that have not changed from version to version, in my QNAP NAS.
The backup target is an external EXT4 disk connected via eSATA to the QNAP.
When I list the inode of the a hard linked file with ls -i, by using the QNAP shell via ssh, I get the same inode number for each of the hard linked files, e.g. for a specific file A it is 11961450 (0xB6846A).
When I use cygwin shell in my windows machine to do the same thing, accessing the remote filesystem via SMB, the inode reported from ls -i is different for each hard linked file and the inode numbers are weirdly huge. For the same file A I get an inode number 10167322761950234564 (0x8D19962EE6C987C4) in one directory and 6110607626948733827 (0x54CD3D42E6126B83) in another.
By the way, when I check the inodes of files in the internal QNAP disks they are always reported correctly no matter if I check them from the QNAP shell via SSH or via Cygwin.
The question is, is there a way to work around this inconsistency and get the correct inode number when using cygwin?
Also, who is to blame? SMB server (in QNAP), SMB client (in Windows), Cygwin or something else?

Guest Post: How to Live the Japanese Language While Learning It
For people who strive to learn a second language, it isn't enough to simply be adept at speaking it. A lot of the time, the decision to learn something as complex as another language isn't entirely academic in nature (though it may partly be the case). Fortunately this desire to immerse oneself into the culture of the foreign language they're working hard to master goes hand in hand with the spoken language itself. Japan is the perfect example of a country whose language most people want to learn because they wish to feel closer to its impressive and often fascinating culture.
Of course, such an endeavor is certainly easier said than done. However, there's a reason why traveling to Japan in order to live the language while learning it is so rewarding. Those looking for a bit of a crash course in everything Japan has to offer with a long-term goal of mastering the language will no doubt learn all its little intricacies all the faster, but that doesn't make it any less challenging. Here are just a few tips to living the language while simultaneously learning it.
Go for Japanese cuisine (it's how the country speaks to your stomach)
The first suggestion is also probably the most fun to do – learning to live the language by experiencing Japan's rich tapestry of cuisine. After all, a very large part of a country's history is directly tied to their diets. It might seem like a rather far-fetched idea, but you'll soon understand things about the country you might never have thought possible when you've had your fill of their authentic recipes. While being in Japan to enjoy true authentic cuisine would be the most obvious course of action, this is something that can be enjoyed in all parts of the world because of how much other countries and cultures are fascinated by what Japan has to offer.
Try and picture yourself enjoying succulent yakitori from a stand in Japan, while speaking to one of the natives. You ask questions as you observe their body language, from the way they speak to the way the natives enjoy their own stick of yakitori. Even something as simple as enjoying street food in Japan can be an invaluable experience when it comes to not just learning the language, but living it as well.
Attend the multitude of Japanese festivals
Living the Japanese language means to live its culture, and there are few events that match the cultural significance of the Japanese festival. The amount of history they have on display – whether you are attending a festival in Fukuoka or perhaps in Kyoto, is always a sight to see. After all, where else would you be able to get yourself acquainted with all the sights and sounds Japan has to offer all in the span of a single incredible event? It can't be understated how much you can learn by simply attending one of the country's many festivals.
Even the natives of Japan understand just how important attending a festival can be. Normally you would see a divide between the younger and older generations of the Japanese people due to events that have shaped the country. However, no matter what the age group is, there are very few people who do not enjoy attending these festivals. This only means that not only do you get to taste and experience the culture of Japan all in one place, but you also get to communicate and interact with natives from all walks of life.
Break the ice by enjoying Japan's hot springs
While it's indeed important to have a serious passion when it comes to learning and living the Japanese life, it doesn't have to be devoid of any rest and relaxation. As a matter of fact one of the best ways to immerse yourself in Japanese culture while being able to soak the stresses away would be by enjoying Japan's world-famous hot springs, or onsen as they would call it. Located in Hokkaido, these natural hot springs are littered with natives and tourists alike, giving you a wide variety of people to interact and bounce ideas with while you take a rest. Why not? It's a wonderful way to learn all about Japan, while still treating it like a carefree vacation.
Visit Japan's historical castles and ancient temples
Japan is a country with a deep and vibrant history. One might think that researching the history of the Japanese people and learning the language are completely different – but they are different sides of the same coin. It only exists when both work in tandem; otherwise neither will survive because they helped shape each other through the decades and centuries. While it's indeed possible to learn all about the history of the Japanese people through different websites and written works, actually stepping into an ancient temple or historical castle in Japan allows for a completely different perspective – you can even get the help of Japanese translation services if you have troubles during your study.
The castles in particular were a part of the intense and more violent periods of Japan's history, and the ruins are something that can give you a peak at what Japan was like at that time. By learning all about its rich culture and speaking to the Japanese about how they might feel about their country's history, you'll get a great deal of insight – which is one of the most essential things in mastering the language.
There are many who will most likely tell you that learning a language is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. While they're completely right, there's no reason that it can't be fun – and living the language while learning it is most certainly that. If you're serious about diving into everything that makes this wonderful country great, don't hesitate! Pack your bags and get ready for the learning experience of a lifetime that you will not regret at all.

Sounds decadent, doesn't it? As I had mentioned in my previous post I had purchased some micro beads for fish egg (caviar) manicures. I had seen this technique on various blogs( including Pushing Polish's version- seriously check it out!), so I decided to recreate it for myself. I decided that my first caviar attempt would be with the Color Club mini I received in my May Birch Box, Disco Nap. Disco Nap is a lovely cool-toned gold that goes on perfectly in 2 coats. I have nothing but praise for this polish, however I already have my perfect gold color. So I probably won't be buying the full-size version of this.
I have purchased a rather large container of Recollections micro beads in a shade called Champagne. It matched the color of Disco Nap perfectly! Sometimes things just fall into place... I started by painting my nails with Disco Nap, leaving my ring and thumb fingers for last. Then I opened my box of micro beads and I noticed that there was a way to dip my finger in the container. I painted my ring finger with Disco Nail and while it was still wet, I dipped it into the container for the micro beads to stick on. I then tapped the excess back into the box. It's a lot easier to do each finger individually.
I'm a big fan of accent nails so I think this type of nail art is the way to go! When I was done with all 4 fingers, I applied a layer of Seche Vite over the bead, to act as a sealer. However, just know it will be impossible to make this perfectly smooth. I had experimented with this type of manicure without a top coat, just to see what difference it makes. It looked just as pretty as this one but the beads were constantly falling off! I know that this type of nail art is not meant to last more than 1-2 days tops, but I lost half the beads within HOURS!!! So yes, I highly recommend using a top coat over this look. Not only did it help my manicure last, it also delayed fading of the micro beads.
I've included a close-up of my ring finger. Sorry that this was pre-cleanup, I got too excited! I loved how this looked, and my coworkers were OBSESSED... I think this is great to do for a special occasion. I bought a whole slew of colors so get ready to be bombarded with caviar!
What do you think of the fish egg/caviar trend? Is it something you'd try?
This is amazing. Very pretty.
Thank you, it was so easy to do!
you did a lovely job, and you're right! that gold polish looks like a fabulous formula.
This looks great, the gold is so pretty! And I thought topcoat would show over the beads which is why I didn't use it, but it seems to look fine so I will be trying that out next time.
Oh I thought you DID use a topcoat! It doesn't matter though, for me this kind of mani isn't suppose to last for more than a day lol!
For this one, I did, I went with Seche Vite. I had done another one when I went to The Makeup Show, without top coat. It was sad how it fell apart, lol.
That looks awesome! Thanks for the tip! I've always wondered the longevity of the beads. I might try this out when I get some micro beads.
Please do, I'd love to see people's takes on this trend!
love it but yes, i prefer it on one accent nail, too!
right? I think when it's all 10 fingers, you almost don't notice it.
I really like your golden version!!
Obrigada, minha amiga! The caviar reminded me of youuuu!
I'm not a huge fan of the fish egg look. I only like it on an accent nail like how you did yours. I always wonder is it hard to get off, or do they just pop right off?
It comes off easily enough (I use acetone). However you want to be careful with the beads falling off the cotton and getting everywhere.
Thanks, I will definitely do more. I'm a big fan of easy nail art.
Lovely! I think it's definitely best as an accent nail. It's too much when all the nails are done.
Thank you! Also it makes things harder at work, I have to open a lot of boxes. Not exactly work-friendly, lol.
This is so pretty and definitely amazing; I love that gold! I will need to try this because I think it looks FAB!!
Yes, let me know if you do! The gold is supposedly a BirchBox exclusive, but I think they just renamed the gold from the Foiled collection, haha.
Hi, good post! The gold particularly lovely. Which is your perfect gold that you mentioned in this post? Also, do you know if there's a cheaper dupe around for Disco Nap? Looks lovely though, that's for sure!

'Fletch': Jon Hamm led Reboot Adds Annie Mumolo, Lorenza Izzo and Ayden Mayeri!!
July 11, 2021 · by Mirza Baig · in Features. ·
Director Greg Mottola has lined up a strong cast for Miramax's reboot, including Marcia Gay Harden, Kyle MacLachlan and Roy Wood Jr.
Annie Mumolo (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar), Lorenza Izzo (Knock Knock) and Ayden Mayeri (Homecoming) are set to join Jon Hamm in the new Fletch movie from Miramax and director Greg Mottola, Collider has exclusively learned.Confess, Fletch is a reboot that closely follows the plot of Gregory McDonald's classic series of mystery novels that inspired the Chevy Chase comedies of the 1980s. The film is currently in production in Massachusetts, where cameras recently spotted Hamm's Mad Men co-star John Slattery on the set. Miramax has confirmed that the MCU actor will play a supporting role in the film.
Hamm stars as the beloved investigative journalist, who is declared the prime suspect in a murder investigation in this new film. Fletch must work to prove his innocence while he searches for his fiancée's stolen art collection — the only inheritance she's received from her missing father.
Oscar-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden co-stars alongside Golden Globe winner Kyle MacLachlan as well as Roy Wood Jr. Mottola is directing from a script he co-wrote with Zev Borow, and he'll also executive produce alongside David List and Mark Kamine. Hamm is producing the film with his longtime manager Connie Tavel and Miramax's Bill Block.
Mumolo earned an Oscar nomination for co-writing the box office hit Bridesmaids with Kristen Wiig, with whom she recently co-wrote and starred in Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar. Her other credits include Bad Moms, The Boss and This Is 40, and she'll soon be seen in the counterfeit coupon comedy Queenpins. She's represented by UTA, Thruline, and attorney Karl R. Austen.
Izzo is best known for starring in the genre movies Knock Knock and The Green Inferno. The Chilean actress played Leonardo DiCaprio's Italian wife in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and her TV credits include Penny Dreadful: City of Angels and Hacks. Izzo recently starred opposite Simu Liu in the indie movie Women Is Losers, and she's poised to star in Roxanne Benjamin's new thriller Fall Into Darkness. She's repped by ICM Partners as well as Authentic Talent and Literary Management.
Mayeri has had recurring roles on Veep, New Girl, and Amazon's Homecoming, and her feature credits include the Zac Efron comedy Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Gus Van Sant's drama Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot, and the Sundance movie Wander Darkly. Mayeri recently joined the cast of Jeff Baena's upcoming comedy Spin Me Round starring Aubrey Plaza and Alison Brie, and she has two high-profile TV shows on the horizon — Apple's ensemble-driven murder mystery The Afterparty and Showtime's comedy I Love This For You starring Vanessa Bayer, Cybill Shepherd, and Molly Shannon. She's repped by the Gersh Agency, Mosaic, and attorney Marcy Morris.

I do ask for 48 hours notice if you have to cancel your therapy session; failure to provide this notice will result in a charge up to the full session fee.
Because it is important that you connect with your therapist and are comfortable with moving forward the best way forward may be a free, no obligation telephone consultation. Please do make contact on 07802 767462 , via email or use the contact form on the contact page.
Health insurance or an employee assistance programme may be able to fund your addictions counselling.
Some health insurance policies may be able to help you fund your addiction therapy, check your provider and policy details. I make additional charges to produce assessments and reports (charges available upon request), as often required by insurance providers. Also, some Employee Assistance Programme providers will support you in accessing suitable support. I am experienced at carrying out work with clients who have accessed support by these methods and as a result, I am able to offer you some advice and information on the best way forward, please call for details.
Finally, a word with regards to seeking support. Many people who struggle with compulsive behaviours, addictive processes and/or substance misuse (Drugs and or Alcohol) struggle to make the commitment to change, often saying "tomorrow will be different", sadly often tomorrow never happens the way they had hoped. Therefore, change needs to start today. Making the first move can often be the hardest, it can also be the most significant.

Handicapping races by blindly picking the top speed figure will not work out in the long run. Too many other variables are present to make that a viable strategy. But of course, speed figures remain important, and the bigger picture gets lost at times as bettors become too attached to specific numbers.
When it comes to the 2019 Kentucky Derby, there is no one dominant speed figure horse on any scale, be it Beyer, TimeformUS or Brisnet. This fact makes lower figures more forgivable, as the difference in talent from top to bottom is smaller. A couple of fringe contenders who had excuses recently or are lightly raced can move forward and pop a big number.
Below, I'll focus on three Derby contenders who ran low speed figures last time on the TimeformUS scale but are still capable of winning Saturday's race at Churchill Downs.
As a helpful note, the two highest last-out TimeformUS Speed Figures belong to Omaha Beach and Tax, who both ran a 121 in their final prep.
Last TimeformUS figure: 109
For those who use Beyer Speed Figures, a 109 on the TimeformUS scale roughly equals an 89 Beyer. That is a low speed figure to accept when trying to sort out Derby win contenders. But Code of Honor's effort in the Florida Derby (G1) is forgivable if factoring in the sluggish pace.
Pace setter Maximum Security ran a slow fraction at every point, opening in 24.42 and continuing in 48.98, 1:12.90 and 1:36.34.
When the fractions are slow, it usually depresses the speed figures because the chance of a slow final time becomes higher. In this case, Maximum Security drew off to victory and still managed a 116 on TimeformUS.
But the closers never got an opportunity to show their best run, making their numbers unusable on any scale. Code of Honor is capable of better, as he earned a 118 in the Fountain of Youth (G2) -- albeit closing into with a fast pace.
Furthermore, eighth-place finisher Harvey Wallbanger ran a 101 and returned in the Lexington Stakes (G3) with a 104. Also, the 10th-place horse Garter and Tie went from a 100 in this spot to a 106 in the Roar Stakes.
It is possible Code of Honor will not enjoy running longer given his damside family appears sprint-oriented, but he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Bob Baffert's highly touted Roadster is hard to make a case for on TimeformUS, as he enjoyed a nice trip while winning the Santa Anita Derby (G1) and only ran a 113. The pace was moderate, and his paths were clear.
Roadster saved ground on the first turn and then continued on a few lengths behind the pace on the far side. Once the field approached the second turn, he oddly began to lose contact, but re-engaged and circled the field.
Visually, Roadster ran an impressive race, even with the clear trip.
Is it really possible Roadster is only capable of a 113? The second-place finisher Game Winner earned a 118 one start earlier in the Rebel Stakes (G2) when getting nosed out by the expected Derby favorite Omaha Beach.
Gut instinct says Roadster is capable of a higher speed figure. With only two starts, he can register a huge number in his third start off the bench.
Plus, Roadster does own tactical speed, although he seemed to forget he did for a few seconds in the Santa Anita Derby. But his previous races show him sitting second or third, which might equal sixth or seventh in the Derby.
As a final point, Baffert thinks highly of this horse. The speed figures don't yet equal the trainer's enthusiasm, but they are an indication of what Roadster has done, not what he's capable of doing.
War of Will
Here is a colt who owns more than one figure that appears alarmingly low on the TimeformUS scale. The last one is easily forgivable, though.
Rather than display his usual pressing speed, War of Will lost his footing at the start of the Louisiana Derby (G2) and settled in mid-pack, about four or five lengths off the leader. The odd incident put him in an unfamiliar position and he did not adapt too well, showing no interest late.
Perhaps the jockey took it easy on War of Will after he realized they could not win. After all, War of Will already owned enough qualifying points.
Therefore, the 104 he earned on TimeformUS for finishing ninth is one handicappers should toss, as War of Will is clearly capable of a better figure.
He won both the Lecomte Stakes (G3) and Risen Star Stakes (G2) with a 110.
In the latter race, it is also interesting to point out that War of Will finished in 1:44.59. Earlier in the card, By My Standards ran in 1:45.04 for the same distance, while earning a 103 on TimeformUS. In his next start, By My Standards won the Louisiana Derby after a good inside trip with a 117.
It is also great to see trainer Mark Casse working War of Will fast, as he fired a bullet 59 flat in his April 13 workout at Keeneland. Fast works are preferable to slow works approaching the Derby because the pace is fast, even if slower than normal compared to other editions.
If War of Will uses that speed to secure a pressing position, he might have a chance at a nice price.

Meet Reinier Macatangay
My first time at the racetrack came as a 5-year-old kid at Santa Anita Park. For most of my younger life, that was the only track I attended other the occasional visit to Hollywood Park.
Years later, after graduating California State University, Stanislaus with an English MA, I began writing for Lady and the Track. From late 2014-2016, my articles were seen on a weekly basis and covered handicapping, interviews with well-known racing personalities, fashion and more.
The handicapping style I use concentrates on pace analysis. Some horses are compromised by the pace. Others are helped. Handicappers just starting out cannot easily see how pace affects the finish, so with this blog, I hope to help those unsure of how to apply pace into their handicapping and post-race analysis.
On an unrelated note, I enjoy video games and attending anime or comic-book conventions. I am currently based in Kentucky, but spend a lot of time traveling between there and California.

The trace you've posted is not the cause of your problem (but the source of it has been fixed).
It seems that there is a misconfiguration in your environment. You should take a look at the Hyper-V Neutron Agent guide  for debugging networking issues, but my guess is that you have not configured Neutron to use the hyperv mechanism_driver. More details in the article.


Pagani introduced the Zonda Cinque in the Geneva Motor Show (Switzerland) in 2009.
It was conceived as the most extreme road-going Zonda ever, or the road-legal equivalent of the R as an exclusive demand from the Pagani dealer in Hong Kong.
Compared to the F, the exterior receives new aerodynamic additions like the front winglets , the rear diffuser and the flat bottom or the roof and rear cooling ducts, inherited straight from the R. Together they produce a downforce of 750 kg (1653 lb) at 300 km/h (186 mph).
Also from the R it inherits its chassis built in Carbotanium and the monoblock magnesium wheels.
Mechanically the biggest evolution compared to the F is the gearbox, in this case 6-speed automatic robotized sequential with levers behind the wheel.
The 7.3 liter of capacity V12 now produces 678 horsepower (669 bhp), 28 more than in the F Clubsport.
Just 5 examples of the Cinque (Italian for five, hence its name) were produced, in the following colours: 2 white units, 1 blue, 1 orange and 1 green.


I'm not saying that search-phrase-laden websites and Limited Online Specials and an email Inbox overflowing with notifications, offers and invitations will be going away any time soon. They won't. We all like a little sugar every now and then, and the web can hit that sweet spot when we want it to - the cat video industry will continue to thrive.
Timely not real-time. Rhythm not random. Moderation not excess. Knowledge not information. These are a few of the many characteristics of the Slow Web.
Unsubscribing from ALL email newsletters.
So let's call that a part of a slower web. Granted, at the time, it just felt like survival. I was swimming—no, drowning—in information and couldn't help but feel that I was somehow losing a race, missing out, being left behind. Or, in the words of James Hague, the background noise was louder than I realised. Rian van der Merwe refers to "A Life Less Posted". The Irish Times refers to reclaiming one's brain from the internet age. It must be a thing. I am not alone.
…every day the internet tempts us to knee-jerk and rage-quit and first-post the best answers, jokes or insightful comments of the moment, only to forget them a moment later.
In a word, life is serene.
That's a big statement from one so young and so bathed in online culture. I think it's fair to say that this emergent web, a small but growing bulkhead in a digital maelstrom, is not just slower but it is gentler. Broader in its emotions. More subtle. A few more shades in between those internet perennials, scorn, outrage and laughter.
I got a proper alarm clock. Feels awesome not to have the iphone in my bedroom. Score for sleep hygiene.
Joe Kraus, a partner with Google Ventures, someone you might imagine evangelising about 'always on-ness' mentions Slow Tech in a presentation entitled 'We're creating a Culture of Distraction'.
I want to ask people a simple question: are you happy with your relationship with your phone. Do you think it's a healthy one?
asks Kraus, and I think it's fair to say that mine is getting healthier. I no longer leave it out on the table when I'm sharing a meal with someone. I've removed all the social apps so I no longer fill any spare moments with updates, status checks and timeline scrolling. I've disabled all alerts. (I use the device, the device isn't using me). I no longer take photographs because I think 'they'll like that on Facebook', I take photographs that I like. I have time to think.
And I have time to feel.
Some time ago I realized, with mild panic, that our always-on, real-time communication channels weren't going away. As I was gulping down the day's feeds along with my morning coffee, it occurred to me that even if I wanted to, I couldn't really opt out. My refresh twitch is so habitual now it's almost hard to remember just how experimental things like the early days of Twitter felt.
I remember mornings like that, the iPhone beside my bed could keep me occupied until 10am, with follow-ups going on at my desk, at which point the synapses were firing at RPMs that didn't lend themselves to sitting down to calmly think and do. Not any more, thank you.
The latest trend on the internet is to step away from the internet, according to a growing band of American technology leaders and psychologists for whom the notion of the addictive power of digital gadgets is gaining sway.
Yes and no. I have found that in 'stepping away from the internet' I have gone deeper into parts of it. The connections that I am making now are more important, deeper and—I hope, longer-lasting.
Eric Meyer is an internet cornerstone all to himself. His deep understanding of the language that styles the web, CSS, gave us his CSS-reset which became an informal but almost universally adopted web standard. He writes about the difficulties of being left behind by Apple's upgrade path. I have shared his pain. His article wasn't an unfocused rant, it was a rational, well-written, piece about a very real problem. (Interestingly, as an aside, Eric has his social links under the heading 'Identity Archipelago'.) It was an article that I could connect with.
MG Siegler, no stranger to the web, writes in a similar vein that Google's Chrome is becoming bloated, and is suffering due to its release schedule. I can sympathise with him: I once switched away from Firefox because it seemed like every time I opened it there was a new update or two available.
The lesson seems to be don't get comfortable using a digital tool, it will evolve out from under you or leave you in a dead end. Or maybe we'll just all settle on a browser and that will be that: browser will be as widely accepted as shovel or paper-clip, we'll know exactly what to expect. Or, you know, maybe we won't be browsing any more. But the pace of getting 'there' is making being 'here' a little uncomfortable.
Either way, when it seems like everything's getting faster, it might be a good time to slow down.
What does this mean for your identity?
Everything, as it happens. Once upon-an-internet your logo would have been animated, 3D-ified, drop-shadowed and generally made to behave like an animate object. But it was the logo that got all the love, up there in the Top Left Corner proudly proclaiming that your business was On The Internet. That's not really going to cut it anymore. We need not be afraid of expressing some emotion. Telling folk how you feel about what you do will have a big impact on how they feel about you. There's more to online emotion than Win! or Fail!
Designers use colour and tone to convey emotion. We understand the subtle nuances of typographic rhythm. We harness words. We express emotion visually. We're good at this stuff!
Now is a great time to look beyond your logo and see what other elements you can use to express yourself online. Compare your offline, printed, identity with your online one and aim for some deeper alignment.
If you need some help in slowing down, you could do worse than read Leo Babauta on How to Reclaim your Attention or Brett Harned on Defeating Busy.

The site of the encounter between Assam Rifles personnel and insurgents in Nagaland's Mon district on May 25|EastMojo image
Nagaland ambush: Self-styled major general of NSCN(K) held
Yanghang alias Mopa was the mastermind of attack on Assam Rifles convoy in which 2 jawans were martyred in Mon district on May 25; 4 others were injured in the incident
Medolenuo Ambrocia
Kohima: In a major breakthrough, a self-styled major general of banned militant outfit NSCN (K-Yung Aung) was apprehended on Friday after the Assam Rifles launched "sustained military operations in all dimensions".
The arrested militant, Yanghang alias Mopa, was behind the attack on a convoy carrying security personnel in which two jawans were martyred. Four others were injured in the incident that took place between Tobu and Ukha village in Mon district on May 25.
Addressing the media on Saturday, Assam Rifles inspector general (north) KC Nair revealed that the special forces, Assam Rifles and intelligence agencies in a remarkable breakthrough has apprehended "dreaded insurgents of NSCN (K-Yung Aung)" who ambushed the convoy.
The two troopers martyred in the line of duty
Following "sustained military operations", Lt Gen MM Naravane, GOC-C, Eastern Command, had visited the "forward areas" and announced a cash reward of Rs 5 lakh to anyone who would provide information, said Nair. The troops received "tremendous local support and assistance from the civil population", he added.
"A ground input was received regarding presence of these insurgents in the general area of Aboi in Mon district and additional check-points were established all over the area to swarm the target area by daybreak of June 21," Nair said.
Nagaland: 3 'innocent' civilians picked up by jawans at gun-point
"Yanghang is the highest-ranking cadre of NSCN (K-Yung Aung) faction in India, besides being the chief architect of extortion and is a perpetrator of many heinous crimes," added Nair.
Nair further appealed all cadres to give up this "futile course of violence and join the initiative of the government of India in its ceasefire efforts".
Denying reports that several villagers were arrested for interrogation, Nair refused to further comment on any question put forth by the journalists.
The Assam Rifles convoy had come under attack between Tobu and Ukha village along the Indo-Myanmar border on May 25

Any idea how to fix this? (This question has originated from this one)
Update
As recommended by Gemini, checking the WAR, I indeed see two logback-classic-x.x.x.jars:

However, looking at the maven dependency tree, I see only the 1.1.7 version of logback, as below:

So, what could be going wrong? Maybe the spring-boot-maven-plugin is doing something?

A: There should be only one implementation of slf4j in your classpath. Please check your project dependencies and remove one of them.
From what you've posted, there are two jars jar:file:/home/vcap/app/WEB-INF/lib/logback-classic-1.1.3.jar and jar:file:/home/vcap/app/WEB-INF/lib/logback-classic-1.1.7.jar in your application, which should be mistake.
You can just keep one of them and remove the one you don't want to use, for example, keep the newer and remove the older. It should be fine.
If you are using maven to management your dependencies, you can check the full dependencies and make sure there is only one of them exist(exclude the one you do not want to use). If they are added manually, you can manually remove it and repackage your application. It'll work.


Hailing from the Welsh valleys, guitarist Gwenifer Raymond harnesses the raw elements of American Old West music – think Mississippi John Hurt and Skip James – and makes them personal, adding her own intricate Welsh folk sound. Influenced at first by punk and grunge, and then pre-war blues and Appalachian folk, the finger-picking wonder released her debut LP, You Never Were Much Of A Dancer, in 2018. Hopefully she'll think more of our dancing at Green Man this summer.

On July 5, 2018, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB)1 replied to a request from a Member of the European Parliament (MEP), Dutch Democrat Sophie in 't Veld, for clarification on a number of issues relating to the protection of personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (2016/679) (GDPR) and the revised EU Payment Services Directive (2015/2366) (PSD2). In its response, the EDPB set out its position on how the requirement to obtain explicit consent from payment service users under PSD2 interacts with the GDPR. The EDPB also provided guidance on the use of personal data relating to a payee by an account information service provider or a payment initiation service provider acting for a payer.
This post summarizes the EDPB's stated positions on these points and explores the implications for firms providing payment services in the European Economic Area (EEA).

T20 WC: Babar praises 'experienced' Shoaib Malik and Asif Ali following Pakistan's win
Sharjah [UAE], October 26 (ANI): Pakistan skipper Babar Azam praised experienced campaigner Shoaib Malik and batter Asif Ali following the team's win over New Zealand here at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 on Tuesday.
Pakistan limited New Zealand to 134 for eight and then chased down the target with 8 balls to spare.
Asif whacked one four and three sixes while Shoaib smashed 26 to help Pakistan chase down 135 despite a wobble in the middle.
"Feels great to win and we'll look to carry forward the confidence. While batting, there were wickets early on and we needed a partnership," Babar told the host broadcaster Star Sports after the match.
"Malik showed experience and Asif Ali contributed too. Every match is crucial. There is no easy match. We'll look to play it day by day and game by game," he added.
Put into bat first, New Zealand scored 134/8 in 20 overs as Haris Rauf starred with the ball picking up four wickets.
"The spinners started off brilliantly, and Haris and Shaheen carried it through. I would like to compliment our fielding, that has carried us through here. I thought we gave 10 runs too many. But this cricket and it happens," said Babar.
With this win, Pakistan is now leading the Super 12 Group 2 with four points. (ANI)

Beloved physical education teacher Janie Boyden named GENESIS April Teacher of the Month
Photo by Jahlea Douglas
Janie Boyden welcomes the audience to the Oratory Contest in the Little Theatre at Elkhart Memorial on Thurs. March 8, 2018. Janie Boyden is the GENESIS Teacher of the Month for April.
Kailey Blazier, Opinion Editor
Janie Boyden has been a physical education teacher at Elkhart Memorial for 32 years. In addition to her position as a physical education teacher, Boyden sponsors Sigma Beta Upsilon (SBU), a club in which sisters and brothers from any type of background can come together to learn more about unity.
Boyden began her interest in teaching very early in life.
"I used to take dance classes when I was younger," Boyden said. "After I got home, I would go and teach the kids in my neighborhood what I learned."
Teaching was something that came easily to Boyden. She felt as though she was destined to be a teacher from birth.
"It is just who I am," Boyden said. "It is something in my family. I have a family of teachers and educators."

Lewis and Janie Boyden at The Elkhart Chapter of the Indiana Black Expo Trailblazer Award Ceremony after Janie accepted the Leroy Robinson Trailblazer Award.
In February, Boyden was awarded with the Leroy Robinson Trailblazer Award. This award commends her for the passion and effort that she has put into making both Elkhart Community Schools and the community a better place.
Her work with SBU is most prominently seen throughout Elkhart Memorial.
As one of the most active clubs in school, SBU holds a number of events throughout the school year: during the month of October, they educate students and staff members about breast cancer and early detection; during the month of November they run a food drive for a local food pantry and they shop for families in need and deliver Thanksgiving dinners to their home; during the month of December they visit a local nursing home and sing Christmas carols; and during the month of February, they sponsor the annual oratory competition.
"Ms. Boyden Makes SBU better for me because of her dedication," senior Breanna Nalls said. "It's one thing that means a lot to her because of the history and events we take part in. The energy and dedication us students are willing to put into SBU inspires her to continue with the club and invest in so much more activity."
Not only is Boyden the sponsor of SBU, but over the years, she has been involved in a number of other student activities including coaching track, teaching dance, and helping to plan Class Olympics, just to name a few.
She also promotes a healthy lifestyle among the staff of Elkhart Memorial by serving as a "Best Life" coach. In this position, she coordinates activities and events to keep teachers and staff living healthy and active lifestyles.
In 2008 she was also recognized as the Elkhart Memorial Teacher of the Year.
"Teachers are just born," Boyden said. "You don't decide you want to teach because you have summer vacations and holidays off."

Homes have renovations and appliances added or replaced with time, but as people increase in the family, there comes a need to install a system that can help the people move around the house more easily even if the house has multiple floors. Such situations need the installation of an elevator which is possible in large homes and penthouses.
The private elevators for homes are not like their industrial counterpart and are much smaller and quieter in comparison. These elevators run on a slower motor with no hydraulic system that eliminates the need for any drilling work to be done and it is usually restricted to four stops as per most of the manufacturer specifications.
These elevators are of great use and especially the older folks in the house who have difficulty in going up the stairs. The elevators are very power efficient and they also go low on the utility bills and there are many different cab designs that the people can choose from to have in their private elevators.
Having the required amount of space to construct the shaft and bearings to accommodate the cab.
Sufficient room to house the elevator motor and cables.
Minimum of 2 floor levels for the elevator to stop on.
Once that has been fulfilled, the client can then move into the next step of details which is the elevator itself. The home elevators do not run on a traditional hydraulic motor used in buildings and instead uses a traction based motor that is much smoother and quieter as well.
Customers can even go for a hydraulic drive motor which is normally suitable for heights of up to two stops; however, finding a quiet hydraulic motor can be a difficult task and since the drive is connected directly to the cab, it can be expensive to soundproof the shaft but due to safety regulations, that cannot be done.
These elevators can be bought either with the option of a standard cabin or even a luxury based cabin at a higher cost.
The elevators are very quiet and even in cases of hydraulic motors, quieter versions are available.
They are very easy to operate and maintain with various agencies even offering quarterly maintenance plans to help keep them in good shape.
The new design allows for easy construction and minimized drilling and this means that there are minimal drilling operations.
The elevators are all equipped with the right safety equipment and an emergency system to help fulfill the regulations. The system has an automatic cut off in case of any emergencies and many manufacturers even offer the option to have earthquake proofing to be installed in order to prevent any sort of collapse during disaster.
An important thing to avoid in cases of buying such elevators is to avoid the used elevators. While such elevators are cheaper than their brand new counterparts, they can be especially dangerous considering the fact that all the components have faced a significant amount of wear over the period of use.
The elevators must be kept well maintained in order to prevent any forms of accidents which mean keeping the components in good shape and replacing worn out components.
