All people should in fact shape themselves to become vessels for the divine Spirit in order to hear the Father's voice, and it would certainly be possible if people lived a life of love in accordance with God's will. But they are far from it, they are dominated by selfish love, thereby having given God's adversary power over them, which he uses to destroy them. But there are also many weak, still undecided people who have not yet been taken in by him completely, and for their sake a large number of beings of light come down to earth, and God Himself speaks through these beings of light to the former. And this is an incredible grace, it is like a countermeasure, which can still save many souls from the adversary if they open themselves to this grace and allow themselves to be addressed by God. But even such evidence of grace will not forcibly affect people, it will be up to each individual person whether he wants to let himself be addressed or whether he wants to close his ears and heart when he encounters a bearer of light.
Earth is fraught with satanic spirit because the price of hell has taken his vassals to earth which now try to impose their evil inclinations onto people. And they are succeeding to an alarming extent. And thus the spirits oppose each other .... whether they are embodied as human beings or try to influence them spiritually .... The kingdom of light and the realm of darkness have come to earth, and the spiritual battle takes place on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom. The beings of light will fight for God and His kingdom with a weapon which is given to them by God Himself: with the pure truth, which can emanate its light everywhere .... And anyone moving within this sphere of light will also receive the strength to resist the forces of darkness .... Their weapons, however, are the commodities of this world. And they incite people to ever greater greed for earthly-material values, to sensual pleasures, to thirst for power, and thereby increasingly darken the spirit of those captivated by them.


Design Decision : Locking attributes or controlling access rights?
I'm currently building some functionality, this involves a custom sub-object of the project object (a kind-of monthly status report).
Every month I will automatically create a new instance of the sub-object and copy forward various details from the previous month (all this I have working OK via GEL and XOG).
But I want to "lock" the previous month's instance (prevent users from editing it anymore) and only allow the users to edit the new current month instance.
Any options I've missed? Any good opinions in how I should do this?
We keep this one 'in process' because it's lifespan is short. As a general ethic, to avoid an excess of long running processes I architect workflows as a collection of 'mini processes' with an eye towards the change events.
One approach you could take would be to apply an OOTB paradigm to the object at create (eg: Not Started, Started, Completed or Open, Work In Progress, Closed), set the appropriate state in a locked attribute on your On Create event (Started or Open or WIP). Create an On Change process that locks everything when the state changes to Completed/Closed and schedule your monthly xog to get all (Started, Open or WIP) created before last week and xog in the state change (xog can update the read only attribute, but read only keeps fingers out).
Voilà - locked history, no long running processes, all managed by 2 monthly xog processes scheduled as jobs and 2 object based processes that do the locking (set & lock status on start condition, lock all attributes on change of status to complete for your 'finalize') . Schedule the next month's create at a comfortable time after this one is scheduled to run and you're off and running for the next month.
We do weekly Status Reports with your option #1 above. It's worked flawlessly for close to 4 years now. I don't know much about the potential for performance impact from the locked attributes tables. In the world of overgrown tables, there are other, more bloated tables that keep me up at night. Let me know if you want to dive deeper into this and I'll setup a webex.
Cheers Rob - so is the locking controlled via process rather than XOG then?
Hmmm - sounds relatively painless ; you are selling #1 to me here!
If you choose option #2, won't users with Edit rights be able to delete the "Locked" records? This may or may not be desirable.
Well I think that the user would be able to delete (aka edit) the current month's instance, but not the previous months (since they would only have view access by then).
Sorry I wrote that wrong. I meant that with option 1, not 2.
No one in our organization has create or edit delete permissions on our Status Reports using approach #1 above. Create is handled by the xoguser. We have a pretty tight box around what the fingers can do.
So your users don't edit their own status reports in the application?
Actually, everyone can edit all open Status Reports (Global Edit). The value is in getting data in - we allow teams to work together, delegate, back each other up, etc. No one can Create or Delete instances or change the historic data after it 'goes to the bank' either by being approved by the Portfolio Manager or late Friday night when the process times out, whichever comes first.
I think this is the object and data control that you're looking for, yes? Who or what populates your data and how is up to your business process. Edit is thankfully a separate permission.
Yeah think I'm confusing edit and delete and create ; create will be by a xoguser only.
Option #1 is clearly winning right now, the control you are describing is what I want - thanks!
Sorry for the confusion. I see my sloppy use of the word 'edit' above - my bad. I'll fix it.
Dave - also consider future generations. I'd have to be Dave Smart to understand all the instance level permission jockeying in option #2. Option #1 is easy code to understand and leverages supported, out of the box functionality (although I am intrigued by 'Padlocking'). Note: my Admin user can Create and Delete. When we got off the ground there was a little whining when things got missed and I had to go manually create an instance. People soon got their act together. We're well over 30,000 now and I can count on one hand how many times I had to manually create an instance, and only twice have I had to drop to the database to reword something. Outside of this this runs like clockwork and is 100% managed & executed by the users. 30,000 and counting and it requires no work or cat herding out of me? - that's what success looks like to me.
Great to see something good coming out of OSU. Hey, I cheered for OSU over Oregon - my cheer order is Michigan Tech, MichSU, UofMich, Big 10.
Seriously, nice presentation. Since you've published it here, may I share within my company (TRW/ZF)?
Go for it Dale. I've presented this at a couple events now - this has really worked for us. Let me know if you want to dive deeper. Go Green! I knew you were a Tech Alum. I have a very similar cheering order - only mine starts a little bit farther south here in the Buckeye State.
I think Paul Maxwell still follows this forum - talk to him about 'Padlocking'. It neatly gives you the access you want without cluttering up the Lock table.
You seem to have found a solution that you like, but, for what it's worth, I'll share an alternative approach that we've found works well for us.
project object, and a Gel process that connects them).
A user navigates to a staging subpage of the project object that contains all the fields necessary for status tracking (i.e., things like status color, status comments, specific area to which the status relates if more than one are active on a project). The user enters all relevant information and saves.
color has changed, and whether the status is area-specific or generic to the project, but you could certainly customize your own. In some cases we even wipe the slate on the staging fields to make it easier for the next user that comes along.
and, by extension, delete on the subobject are all reserved for the admin account that is used by the Gel script to XOG in the updates.
No instance rights to worry about, the subpage can be security controlled, and you can customize nearly any set of criteria for evaluating how and when to update versus create new. The whole process has worked for us for roughly 3 years at this point. You can even, if so inclined, create an object portlet to allow mass access to the subobjects across all projects if you want to do data mining.
Thanks - yes I do like that design as well ; can see how that would work and solve a lot of my issues.
I'm quite far down my sub-object route by now but definitely adding that "design" to my mental toolbox.


and I loved your book.
Wow, what a love story !
We didn't want it to end !
I hope your writing another book.
You are so blessed. Keep Smiling.

"Until We Meet Again, Dear John"
Have you ever met someone who you swear you met before, perhaps another life? What if this person was to become one of the most influential romances of your life? What if God sent you this person, but you constantly questioned their presence?
Anyone who has ever struggled with the ups and downs of true love will relate to the portrait of heartbreak in this book by Linda Allen.
With the ability to speak and console the souls of the departed. Linda puts all her psychic cards on the table in this journey of self-discovery.
She taps into her intuitive abilities with the spiritual world to look for signs from God on a large rock she comes across that resembles the hand of God, to chance meetings at home and abroad with John, a man who had instantly captured her heart.
As a reader, you will laugh, cry, and identify with the chaotic link that leads to marital happiness with another man only God could provide.

What is Hepatitis C and Do I need to be Checked ?
By bmp July 3, 2019 February 3rd, 2020 Blogs
When to seek evaluation from gastroenterology doctors Overview Chronic hepatitis caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a public health problem worldwide since it affects a large number of people and leads to terrible complications that put at risk the quality of life of patients, so It is therefore very important to carry out an early diagnosis through the establishment of an adequate screening system in order to apply timely treatment and reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this disease.
Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents one of the main causes of liver disease and a potential cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is estimated that approximately 3% of the world population is infected with this virus, which is transmitted mainly through sexual contact and parenteral route, which includes the use of injectable drugs, blood transfusions, and unsafe injection practices. HCV causes acute hepatitis whose symptoms often go unnoticed; however, approximately 80% of infected people gradually develop chronic hepatitis. Several scientific studies have proven that 60% of people with chronic infection with hepatitis C virus develop liver cirrhosis. In addition, it is estimated that 5% of individuals with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis develop hepatocellular carcinoma in a period of 5 years (1).
The treatment of chronic hepatitis C has advanced a lot in recent years, achieving a high percentage of cure in people receiving treatment in the early stages of the disease. The elimination of HCV prevents progression to cirrhosis and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Nowadays, once the diagnosis of hepatitis C is made, patients can receive a highly effective treatment that improves their life expectancy free of complications.
It is imperative to make an early diagnosis of HCV infection in high-risk populations so that they can benefit from antiviral therapy
Intravenous drug use
Patients who received blood transfusions or organ transplants before July 1992.
Patients who have received hemodialysis
Children born to an HCV-positive mother
Sexual risk behavior
Have an infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Persons who have suffered needle-stick injury or mucosal exposure to HCV-positive blood (health care personnel, medical emergency, and public safety).
HCV screening
At present, it is recommended to perform the screening of hepatitis C in those people who have high-risk factors of contracting the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Also, because in the USA UU 76% of patients infected with the hepatitis C virus were born between 1945 and 1965 (population known as Baby Boomers) the US Prevention Services Task Force (USPSTF), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the American The Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) recommends carrying out HCV screening in this group of patients once in a lifetime, regardless of the risk factors they may present.
Screening should be done through the detection of HCV antibodies by the ELISA method of 4th generation. This method has a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 100%. A sensitivity of 98% indicates that the test can detect at least 98% of people who have been exposed to hepatitis C virus. A specificity of 100% indicates that 100% of people without hepatitis C had a screening test negative. It is important to bear in mind that a positive result does not mean that the individual currently has the disease, it only indicates that he was previously exposed to the hepatitis C virus. In the case of a positive result, a test for the detection of viral RNA should be performed. If the detection is positive, this indicates that the individual is a chronic carrier of HCV(2).
The early diagnosis of chronic hepatitis C through the establishment of a screening system in high-risk patients allows us to establish an adequate treatment that prevents the progression of the disease to liver cirrhosis and/or liver cancer, which undoubtedly allows improving the quality of life and prolong the life expectancy of these patients. The newest guidelines suggest that anyone over the age of 50 get checked! https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hcv/guidelinesc.htm. Le tour team of experts at Gastroenterology of Greater Orlando help you.

Hi Sir, Is bleeding gum is linked to leukemia? I get blood strains during morning brush. And sometime when press gum with finger (very rare).
No it is not linked with leukaemia.. It is vitamin C deficiencies or scurvy or pyorrhoea etc.. You can consult me through Lybrate for homoeopathic treatment..
I am sakib, 30 from bangladesh. My teeth getting chilled while chewing foods. Inside of them got yellow colored & some of them are blackish. Following your direction & suggestion, I want my teeth strong & white. I have allergy also that don't know what kind it is but foods, plastic, saint, fibre etc effect me.
What you are describing sounds that periodontitis, or gum inflammation due to deposits on teeth. Possibly the deposits are causing the gums to recede, leading to root exposure followed by sensitivity while eating. What you need is scaling and polishing, followed by some desensitisation procedure performed by a dentist. Use of desensitising toothpaste may temporarily reduce the sensitivity but please do see a dentist.
How to reduce gum receding. Afraid that. Due to this I'll lose my teeth. Please suggest.
Hi lybrate-user. Please do not be afraid of that, you consult a nearby dentist get cleaned n polished your teeth, n follow the proper brushing technique using a soft brush, brush twicely, use mouth wash and have warm saline gargle frequently, take plenty of water and do gum massage. And after all you can do a periodontal surgery if needed.
I have been suffering from pain in teeth through the entire winter Time. What could be the solution of this?
Samir Biswas you are having pain in teeth entire winter time . . you are suffering from tooth sensitivity . apply sensodyne fresh mint paste twice daily .. Maintain proper digestion /oral hygiene. Visit dental surgeon for check up . .
Make it a point to visit a dentist & get the scaling & polishing done every 6 months. This little investment of time & money can save you from loads of dental problems & accompanying bills in future. Moreover you can save yourself from wearing dentures in old age.
I have recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ulcers) Since 5 days I am suffering from big mouth ulcers they are big from normal size I can not eat anything even I can not talk its pain is like pain of wounds and it hurts very badly its really painful for me sometimes even I can not sleep coz of this ulcers please help me out.

All of the authentication systems examined use cryptography for authentication. This aspect looks at the models and procedures used to generate and distribute the keys used for the authentication process. This section does not discuss the generation or distribution of the users' secret keys, public key/private key pair, or the use of key encrypting keys. This section focuses on how the session key, or secret key used between client and server are generated and distributed. Session key generation is a major difference between Kerberos and Secure RPC. Kerberos generates a pseudo-random DES key for use as a session key, while Secure RPC uses a public key generation method.

1.0 Work GPCI Floor Extended
IMS advocacy has successfully averted a $22.5 million Medicare payment cut for Iowa physicians. As part of the year-end budget deal, which was signed into law on December 23, 2019, temporary 1.0 Physician Work (PW) GPCI floor that was set to expire on January 1, 2020, has been extended until May 23, 2020. While not the long-term extension or the permanent solution that IMS would have preferred, this temporary measure averts substantial payment cuts in the short-term and gives us more time to work on a long-term solution to this problem.
For the past several years, Iowa has benefited from the temporary 1.0 PW floor that holds harmless rural payment localities set to experience negative Medicare payment adjustments as a result of the flawed geographic practice cost index (GPCI) formula. Over the past year, IMS has worked with our Congressional Delegation to educate new members on the impact of this issue and to find a solution to this problem. This includes both extending the temporary 1.0 floor and finding a permanent solution to this rate cut, which would cost Iowa physicians an estimated $22.5 million in Medicare payments in 2020 alone.
Final negotiations, aided by the advocacy of several members of Iowa's Congressional Delegation, yielded a compromise extension of several Medicare provisions set to expire at the start of 2020. One high-profile issue – surprising billing – was ultimately removed from the final legislation. This has led some to speculate that the Medicare provisions were only extended until May so as to create a new must-pass healthcare policy bill in a few months that could serve a legislative vehicle for an ultimate compromise on the surprise billing issue. Permanently addressing the Medicare GPCI problem continues to be a top IMS Federal Priority. Over the coming months, we will work closely with our congressional partners to find a more sustainable path forward. In the short-term, Medicare will not move forward with the scheduled GPCI rate cuts included in the CY2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule thanks to the ongoing advocacy of your Iowa Medical Society and the support of Iowa's Congressional Delegation.

AIDWA-SFI-DYFI Protest Against Purification Rituals Demeaning to Women
THE All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), Students' Federation of India (SFI) and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) held a militant protest on January 4 on the road towards Parliament House against the purification rituals carried out by the priests after two women entered the Sabarimala temple. They also denounced the violence let loose by the RSS-BJP in Kerala on January 3. Women and students marched from Vithalbhai Patel House towards Parliament House, brushing aside all attempts by the police to stop them. They were finally stopped by barricades near Vijay Chowk.

AIDWA Condemns Army Chief's Statement on Women
The All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), in a statement issued on December 18, has strongly condemned the totally unwarranted sexist remarks recently made by Army chief Bipin Rawat on the question of women being inducted into combat roles in the army. While AIDWA is wholly opposed to the brazen militarism that high-ups in the army are found to voice frequently in public in recent times, it is even more obnoxious to find them exposing with impunity their utterly insulting and warped attitude not only to women aspiring towards a military career but to women in general.

AIDWA Calls for Nationwide Protests to Condemn Anti-Women Modi Regime
THE central executive committee meeting of the All India Democratic Women's Association held recently in Hyderabad decided to organise protests in all districts in the country on December 10, International Human Rights Day, to condemn the anti-women Modi regime. These protests will highlight the issues of violence, food security and unemployment, which were taken up in a big way by the AIDWA's 10,000-strong all India Delhi Rally on September 4. State and district level issues too will be taken up in these protests. Thousands of women will be mobilised in these protest actions.

AIDWA to Hold Delhi Rally on Sept 4
KEEPING in mind the challenges before women, AIDWA has decided to organise a huge all India women's protest rally in Delhi on September 4. The main issues are the increasing violence and brutality against women, especially girl children, growing unemployment, food security, the grim issue of starvation and malnutrition and the escalating communal and casteist attacks. The rally will be directed against the anti-women and anti-people policies of the BJP-RSS regime led by Narendra Modi.

AIDWA Demands Strong Action in the Jharkhand Gang Rape Case
THE All India Democratic Women's Association (AIDWA), in a statement issued on June 4, has condemned in the strongest terms, the gang rape of the five NGO women workers in the Kochang village in Khunti district of Jharkhand. The brazen manner in which the women were abducted at gun-point and raped and then silenced into not reporting the crime reflects the total lawlessness and the atmosphere of terror prevalent in the BJP-ruled state.

'Encounters' of Minorities & Poor under Yogi Raj in UP
UTTAR Pradesh will be crime free – was the much-touted slogan of Yogi Adityanath after he became the chief minister. The illegal method of eliminating crime, aka 'encounters', started in 2017. "Thok do" (shoot them) was the dictum given to police officials to gun down criminals. It is a different matter that the chief miniter himself is facing 15 criminal cases and 143 MLAs of the state have criminal cases registered against them, of whom 83 are from the ruling BJP.

VIOLATION OF PCPNDT ACT: AIDWA Demands Stringent Action on VC
THE All India Democratic Women's Association, in a statement issued on May 14, has condemned the shocking statement reportedly made by the vice chancellor of AYUSH, Baldev Kumar Dhiman, claiming that ayurveda can help in the selection of gender before conception. Not only does this display a completely unscientific mindset, the statement also violates the PcPNDT Act which makes sex selection illegal, whether before or after conception. According to the Act it is also illegal to advertise or promote any method leading to sex selection.

And with rain showers and mist generators, materials have returned to the bathroom which people had long considered unpractical and easily watermarked: Copper, bronze, brass, unsealed stone and untreated woods tell stories about use and the past.

Maldives state of emergency threatens growth
The Maldives state of emergency will hit the country's economic growth if tourists are deterred from travelling there for a prolonged period, Moody's Investors Service warned Monday.
Tourism accounts for one-third of economic output and previous political disruptions have negatively affected GDP growth, it said.
A state of emergency lasting 15 days was declared on February 5 by President Abdulla Yameen, who ignored a Supreme Court order issued days earlier to release political prisoners. Instead he rounded up even more of his opponents, threw them in prison, arrested two top judges and suspended around 20 constitutional rights.
His actions triggered widespread condemnation and a barrage of government travel advisories from key tourist markets including China and the UK.
"If tourists are deterred from travelling to Maldives for a prolonged period, the crisis will reduce growth and prompt us to revise down our current forecasts of 4.5% real GDP growth in 2018," said Moody's.
"Tourism accounts for one-third of economic output. During a state of emergency in 2015, growth slowed to 2.8% from 6.0% the previous year, amid a slowdown in tourist arrivals growth to 2.4% from 7.1% the previous year.
The crisis will also hinder the country's attractiveness as an investment destination, Moody's said.
"Net foreign direct investment which, in 2017, totaled $484.5 million, or 10.4% of GDP, plays an important role in financing Maldives' large current account deficit of 21.7% of GDP in 2017.
"A substantial portion of this financing is likely directed toward the tourism industry and an unstable security environment risks reducing future inflows."
The government says there is no threat to tourists, that no curfew has been imposed and the general movement of people, services and businesses is unaffected.
The state of emergency "addresses certain internal aspects of governance and affects mostly the capital island Malé," said the foreign ministry.
Last week ratings agency Fitch warned the unrest had the potential to escalate tensions between regional powers such as China and India, given their competition for influence in South Asia.

Majority of European firms have no CO2 reduction targets
19 February 2019, source edie newsroom
Most European companies have no target for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions even though 80% see climate change as a business risk, a survey has found.
One-third of companies reported increased emissions
Among those that have set climate goals, only one in three stretch beyond 2025, according to the annual Carbon Disclosure Project report.
Instead, corporate action has focused in the boardroom, with 47% of firms rewarding their CEOs for climate performance, and a quarter tying incentives to environmental goals.
European firms now make up half of the CDP's environmental "A-list" and the managing director for Europe, Steven Tebbe, praised climate disclosure's entry into the financial mainstream.
"The next decade is vital if our shift to a sustainable economy is to be successful, and companies lie at the heart of this transition," he said.
A-list companies on the Stoxx global climate change leaders index outperformed their peers by 5.5% per annum this decade, he noted.
Although 53% of companies surveyed did not yet have climate goals, 58% reported carbon cuts in 2018, amounting to a total reduction of the equivalent of 85m tonnes of CO2 – as much as Austria's annual emissions.
One-third of companies reported increased emissions.
One A-listed property management firm, Landsec, has cut its greenhouse gases by 17% since 2014 – on the way to a planned 40% tail-off by 2030.
Caroline Hill, Landsec's head of sustainability, said: "We set what was the first science-based carbon reduction target in real estate, based on what was needed in our sector to ensure the world keeps within 1.5 to 2C of global warming."
She said the company drove down energy consumption in London offices and suburban retail parks by upgrading to LED lighting and systematically installing rooftop solar panels.
This year, CDP received climate disclosures from 849 European companies in 23 countries, with combined emissions of around 2.3bn tonnes of CO2 – a total greater than the UK, Germany and France combined.
Campaigners responded angrily to the inclusion on the A-list of fossil fuel firms such as Engie, Naturgy Energy Group SA and Neste Oyj, chemical firms Bayer AG and BASF, and food companies such as Nestlé.
Pascoe Sabido, a spokesman for Corporate Europe Observatory, said: "If these companies represent the crème de la crème of environmentally-friendly big businesses, then we really are in trouble.
"They shouldn't be celebrated, they should be kept as far away from our policy-makers as possible."
Tebbe said: "We are not claiming these are perfect companies – far from it – but they are really going beyond the consensus and showing leadership in their sectors."

Talk to us about your data cable installation project. We have installed data cabling into places like Taronga Zoo, Sydney University Chemistry Laboratories, Vet Hospitals and the Sydney University's Vice Chancellors Office.
We are trusted professionals with experience in many different environments. Your project will be in good hands with Elam.
A good data cabler is not just a person who installs cabling well. Good cablers go to the extra effort to close the gap between IT professionals and builders, or the end client and the IT company employed by them.
Many places requiring cabling have groups of professionals from different backgrounds meeting in the middle to work on a project.
Through years of experience in data cable installations, we have found that this network of professionals can sometimes have holes in it.
IT workers can assume that the builder will understand the needs of his patching environment and be let down when a switch is installed before the gyprock is sanded.
An endless number of bad things can go wrong, and many jobs require a middle-man who can fill the gap.
Elam has been employed and trusted for data cable installations, especially by IT professionals, for years. For us, the job does not usually end until the link lights are up and flashing on the switch.
If you would like to see a seamless progression through your next project, appoint an Elam representative to be by your side.

Q: PostgreSQL Select INTO with CASE statement I have an Employee table with column - Id, FirstName, isGlobal, Age. I am writing below SQL to check if the Employee already exists in DB or not. I want to store the Id and isGlobal into variable for further processing in my stored function.
SELECT Id, CASE WHEN (isGlobal IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

Friday's Endnotes – 06/13/14
By Terry Hart, June 13, 2014.
If one supposes that information storage and retrieval systems are not now and are not likely to become commonplace during our lifetime, then we may leave the resolution of the rights of a copyright proprietor in respect of computer usage as a legacy to future generations.
But in doing so, would we not be creating another jukebox exemption, this time one of even greater consequences to the world of private authorship and private commercial publishing?
The hard, inexorable facts are, that information storage and retrieval systems do exist and are increasing numerically as well as in the scope of their uses.
Testimony of Bella L. Linden (American Textbook Publishers Institute), Copyright Law Revision, Hearings Before Subcommittee No. 3 of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, Eighty-Ninth Congress, First Session on H.R. 4347, H.R. 5680, H.R. 6831, H.R. 6835, at 1429 (June 30, 1965), available at HathiTrust.
Seriously, What if Music Streaming Doesn't Work Out? (via CultureCrash) — "Not one of the music streaming companies has made a profit yet, not one. Most are involved in corporate growth quarterly suicide, driven by large sums of VC money, or public pressure to return shareholder value. That's fine, but that's no way to nurture a creative company. I wish them all well, but honestly, that doesn't seem like a good situation for the industry or consumer, maybe the VCs and shareholders, and money managers, but not us."
Why online tracking is getting creepier — "Tracking people using their real names—often called 'onboarding'—is a hot trend in Silicon Valley. In 2012, ProPublica documented how political campaigns used onboarding to bombard voters with ads based on their party affiliation and donor history. Since then, Twitter and Facebook have both started offering onboarding services allowing advertisers to find their customers online."
Lack of Registry is No Excuse for Bad Royalty Accounting to Artists: The Return of the Magic Thingy — From The Trichordist: "This 'if we just had a good database' dodge has been a frequent feature of Internet lore for quite a while."
"My Data Belongs To Me": Returning Online Control To Consumers — "Data protection has not been successful in guaranteeing against misuse, claims Bruck. He proposes instead a human rights approach to data, where the 'issue is not protection, but rights, not safeguarding, but property ownership.' … 'If you wish to use my data, get my permission. And then make transparent what uses you are taking,' he said."
The Illusion of Free Stuff — David Newhoff: "We're seeing a trend of popular artists take gigs to perform for sponsorships, corporate events, or private parties for wealthy individuals; and this move toward patronage by the elite is a direct response to the fact that we the people are no longer a source of revenue."
Shannon Hurley: "We Must Respect and Value Songwriters" — Indie songwriter Hurley on the inequities her and other songwriters currently face under the current licensing regime.

October's Author of the Month: VICTORIA "V.E." SCHWAB
Friday, Oct 02, 2020 at 11:52am
Victoria "V.E." Schwab is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than a dozen books, including the acclaimed Shades of Magic series, Villains series, This Savage Song, and Our Dark Duet. Her work has received critical acclaim, translated into more than a dozen languages, and has been optioned for television and film. When she's not haunting Paris streets or trudging up English hillsides, she lives in Edinburgh, Scotland and is usually tucked in the corner of a coffee shop, dreaming up monsters.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is Schwab's genre-defying tour de force. France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever—and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

While the lake is a sight to see in and of itself, Lake Tahoe attractions go beyond just the water. The area's rich environment influences the majority of Lake Tahoe attractions like hiking, camping, skiing, snowboarding, sunbathing, paddleboarding and more. The Nevada side also offers large casinos.


This afternoon on Isla Carenero, the National Police unveiled 2 new preventive signs on the beach next to Bibi's restaurant. The same signs were inaugurated during a similar ceremony on Bluff Beach October 25th. These new signs remind beach visitors to take caution with their belongings as leaving them unattended on the beach makes them vulnerable to theft. Although these warnings are common sense to some, in the past the police have received reports from unhappy tourists who left their stuff on the beach while enjoying a swim only to come back with less stuff.
Congratulations to Sargent Sanchez, the National Police and all those who supported their efforts in taking measures to prevent crimes of opportunity before they even happen.

The Story Behind The Numbers

Save time and please your CEO with modern data handling
How Quantum solved a corporate client's financial reporting pain
[Download pdf]
Markets are faster than corporate systems
A client, a medium-size company with offices across Switzerland but a worldwide reach, reports performance on a quarterly basis. Revenue and costs in eight currencies are logged into the client's corporate financial system (ERP), and aggregated and reviewed to produce the Profit and Loss statement and the Balance Sheet for the reporting period. Transactions must also be split and allocated to the company's product and service lines for monitoring, budgeting, and forecasting. As the company operates in a very dynamic market, this is a fast-changing process that requires great flexibility. However, the pace of implementing changes in the corporate ERP system is much slower than the client's business environment – with sub-optimal reporting and analysis as a consequence.
The process for creating the figures required up to a week of manual work by two full-time financial experts every quarter – and manual data input from several divisions, which was often incorrect or late, and required further manual processing. The accrual calculation was particularly complex and ridden with uncertainties.
Mistakes due to manual processing – and detected too late – routinely required laborious incremental corrections over the course of several successive reporting cycles.
Investors were increasingly vocal in asking for more details – which the client could not provide due to inherent limitations of the ERP data. For example, it was not possible to allocate revenue to different product lines and services besides the standard internal divisional breakdown.
The client asks Quantum for support
Quantum designed and implemented a solution that incorporates both the existing financial system data and the client's business processes and organisation. It is a light, modern add-on to the corporate ERP that provides not only automated reporting, but also flexibility, full transparency and many possibilities for quick execution of ad-hoc analysis on a self-service basis.
All the different hierarchies of divisions, cost centres, product lines and services have been centrally implemented in a completely transparent, easy-to-maintain manner which allows full and timely reconciliation.
A user-friendly visual interface allows flexible data handling (fully configurable drill-down, roll-up, grouping, filtering, pivoting, setting a reference date, …), calculations and exploration.
All the necessary tables and graphs are automatically populated and updated, daily. All tables, graphs, and underlying data can be exported into all major formats, as pdf, image files and spreadsheets.
Quantum's solution consists of the creation and configuration of data structures and the installation of a software of choice for self-service creation of reports and quick visual data exploration.
With modern data science, companies catch up with global markets
With a limited cost, the client now has a powerful solution that provides quick, correct and flexible reporting, along with many more analytical capabilities than before.
Dozens of manual Excel sheets have been replaced by five automated dashboards, with the same original content. Daily reports allow timely monitoring of performance against budget and forecast. The monthly and quarterly figures with all graphs are now ready in one day, freeing up time and resources for analysis and deep-dives. All the standard slides of the month- and quarter-close presentations are produced automatically, in the corporate layout and colours.
Accruals are automatically calculated in seconds against a reference close date chosen by the user (which can be set at any time, in the past or in the future). All details are listed for analysis and review. Gaps in the relevant business processes have been uncovered and addressed.
Manual spreadsheet mistakes no longer occur, as the process has been entirely streamlined and automated. Reconciliation is automatic and fully transparent, allowing for immediate detection of mistakes in ERP bookings or gaps in the business process. Data access authorisations are automatically inherited from the corporate ERP system, thereby preserving data confidentiality. Selected reports are automatically distributed by email to a restricted list.
Revenue and costs can now be split along all dimensions, allowing for better understanding and more accurate forecasting, as demanded by the investors. When changes occur, for example a new product is added or the accounts structure must be modified, the reports can be adapted on the spot.

Pope: Pray to protect church from devil, step up fight against abuse

VATICAN CITY – Signaling his belief that the Catholic Church is facing a serious crisis, Pope Francis asked every Catholic in the world to pray for the protection of the church from attacks by the devil, but also that the church would be more aware of its sins and stronger in its efforts to combat abuse.
Pope Francis asked Catholics to pray the rosary each day in October, seeking Mary's intercession in protecting the church, and "at the same time making her (the church) more aware of her sins, errors and the abuses committed in the present and the past, and committed to fighting without hesitation so that evil would not prevail," the Vatican said in a statement released Sept. 29, the feast of the Archangels.
United "in communion and penitence as the people of God," the statement said, Catholics should plead for protection against "the devil, who always seeks to divide us from God and from one another."
Pope Francis met earlier in September with Jesuit Father Federic Fornos, international director of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network, formerly known as the Apostleship of Prayer, to ask that the recitation of the rosary in October conclude with "the ancient invocation 'Sub Tuum Praesidium' ('Under your protection') and with the prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, who protects us in the battle against evil."
The first prayer, to Mary, has a variety of translations. One reads: "We turn to you for protection, Holy Mother of God. Listen to our prayers and help us in our needs. Save us from every danger, glorious and blessed Virgin."
The prayer to St. Michael reads: "St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls."
The Vatican, announcing Pope Francis' prayer request, cited his homily Sept. 11 at morning Mass where he spoke about the devil as the "Great Accuser" who "roams the world looking how to blame" and spread scandal.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the former nuncio of the United States, who has called on Pope Francis to resign, claiming the pope knew about and ignored the sexual misconduct of former Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, issued another statement Sept. 27 accusing the pope of "subtle slander" with that homily.
As of Sept. 29, neither Pope Francis nor the Vatican had responded to Archbishop Vigano's original allegations.
In addition to the case of Archbishop McCarrick, the Catholic Church in the United States is still coming to grips with the mid-August release of the Pennsylvania grand jury report covering decades of alleged abuse by more than 300 priests; the report identified more than 1,000 victims.
A widespread abuse scandal and broad police investigation is ongoing in Chile; Cardinal George Pell, Vatican secretary for the economy, is on trial for abuse in Australia; and the bishops of German in late September released a report on thousands of cases of abuse in their country, some going back to 1946, but some as recent as 2000.Fight against the devil is spiritual 'urban' warfare, cardinal says
Speaking to a group of priests in France on Oct. 1, the pope said the barque of the church is being buffeted by strong winds of scandal created by its own members.
When the church is "hit by opposing and violent winds, especially because of grave sins committed by some of its members," the pope said. Catholics should not forget "the humble daily fidelity" of "the vast majority of those who have given their lives to the church as priests."
The pope spoke about the scandal and the priesthood with 100 priests and friends from the Diocese of Creteil, France, who were making a pilgrimage to Rome.
"We know that, responding to the call of the Lord, we were not consecrated with the gift of the Spirit to be 'superheroes,'" the pope told the priests. "We were sent with the awareness of being men who are forgiven and called to become pastors in the way Jesus was: injured, dead and risen."
Honesty about being human and recipients of God's mercy is part of a priest's ministry, the pope said. It is an essential part of "witnessing to the power of the Resurrection over the wounds of this world."
As the Diocese of Creteil works on reorganizing structures after a diocesan synod in 2016, Pope Francis urged the priests to help their parishioners "respond to their baptismal vocation" to be witnesses to the joy of the Gospel.
And, he said, "do not be afraid to look at the wounds in your church, not to complain about them, but to bring them to Jesus Christ. He alone can heal them."
The pope's comments came as a top Vatican official said the most crucial battle against the devil is the one that Christians fight within themselves daily to resist selfish temptations that lead to destructive ends, a top Vatican official said.
Celebrating Mass for the feast of the St. Michael the Archangel Sept. 29, Cardinal Angelo Becciu, prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, said that the conscience of Christian men and women can often become "a battleground where the evil one besieges us with the incendiary fire of greed, envy, hatred, selfishness, suspicions, contempt or rejection of others, and every form of destructive thoughts."
"This spiritual 'urban' – that is, interior – warfare often moves to the 'suburban' field of family relationships, as well as social and work relationships," the cardinal said. "An uneven struggle is unleashed within us between the good we wish to do and the evil that instead takes over because it masquerades as an angel of light who deceives human freedom."
Cardinal Becciu celebrated the Mass in the chapel of the Governorate of Vatican City State to commemorate St. Michael, who is the patron saint of the Vatican and Italian state police officers. Among the dignitaries present at the celebration was Matteo Salvini, Italian deputy prime minister and minister of the interior.
In his homily, the Italian cardinal said St. Michael's fight against the "dragon" mirrors God's fight against the power of the devil who "uses the strategy of deceit to put hatred between humankind and God."
"The intercession of the Archangel Michael leads us to recognize and to always do good for ourselves and for others, at the cost of any sacrifice, because good will always be repaid by God with good," Cardinal Becciu said.


Can anyone tell me what the current steps are to rename a SolarWinds server? I have NPM 12.0.1. I think the last time I did a name change on the server I had to run the configuration wizard and maybe add the new server name to the websites table in the db and think there was a step to point all of the nodes to the new server name. I can't seem to find the instructions I used last time. Since it's been a few years since I did a rename of the server I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Not sure if you're about to migrate the main server or additional poller, however if you're going just to rename the main poller, you may skip the license deactivation and reactivation steps.
I understand I'll need to update all references to the old name and make sure the engine id is changed. Since I'm not installing or upgrading anything or changing the IP address, only the name, should I change the name of the server and then make the system changes? The last time the name of the server was changed I was not involved and it broke the system pretty hard because they didn't do anything to the server after they changed the name. it took some time before I could even get back into the system. It may sound like a simple thing, but since I didn't do this the last time I don't want to jack up the server.

Blue Monday: CMHA Kelowna encourages checking in with self and others
Blue Monday was originally a campaign tactic from a travel agency
Brittany Webster
You've probably heard the term 'winter blues', but have you heard about Blue Monday?
Although originally coined by a travel agency looking to make a few extra bucks in January, the third Monday of the new year is often when holiday bills come in, excitement from festivities is over, and lots of people are just feeling down in the dumps.
Candace Giesbrecht, director of people and engagement with the Canadian Mental Health Association Kelowna, says the lack of sunlight through the winter plays a huge role.
"The first thing we recommend is to assess," Giesbrecht says. "We want to encourage people to reflect on 'how am I doing?'"
As days get shorter, darker, and colder, it's quite common to notice a shift in mood. And while winter is unavoidable, there are some lifestyle changes you can make that can help you battle the winter blues and SAD.https://t.co/0J1E53q5KU pic.twitter.com/oNbLjMaXU5
— CMHA Kelowna (@cmhakelowna) January 16, 2023
Giesbrecht says it's always a good idea to do a mental health check with yourself, checking your coping mechanisms and ability to bounce back when hard things come.
"I had somebody say to me once, it was a doctor, that the goal of mental health is not to be free of hard times or low mood, but the goal is to be able to, when the waves of life come, to be able to ride them rather than feel like you're drowning."
If you've been feeling low for two weeks or more and the usual mood boosters aren't working, Giesbrecht says that is when you should find someone to talk to if you haven't already.
"We recommend going to our website for resources. There's a lot of great links and information there, but you may also want to talk to your doctor."
Once you've done a mental health check on yourself, start checking in with those around you.
"Be present, ask people how they're doing, and create safe opportunities for conversation."
Giesbrecht adds that it's important to not minimize someone else's feelings.
"If a person is saying they're really struggling it's really important that we all acknowledge that this person has [spoken up]. In many cases, it takes courage for a lot of us to say that."
If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, visit CMHAKelowna.com for information and resources.
