Actually, they asked "Is she totally insane?" The jury's still out, but- tada! - it's been a year.
To paraphrase Steven Wright, I intend to be married forever. So far, so good.
I've come to the realization that all of the personal flaws I wish to address in 2010 can be attributed to procrastination. Therefore, my sole resolution for the new year is that I will no longer procrastinate.
It should be noted, however, that it isn't procrastination if you put it off immediately.
A humanitarian and songwriter, Harry Chapin's mostly remembered for his untimely death in 1981; his only number one hit, Cat's in the Cradle; and the classic story song Taxi.
"Sometimes I get this crazy dream that I just take off in my car, but you could travel on ten thousand miles and still stay where you are."
The "pants bomber" was foiled by proactive passengers who dived out of their seats and into the fray.
So, of course, the security experts are talking about requiring passengers to remain seated during the final hour of their flight. Which would make the folks who subdued this wingnut potential felons.
Yes, but it's entirely consistent with TSA's improv-based security theater that is playing in hundreds of airports across these great United States.
Remember the shoe bomber? He tried to detonate pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) hidden in his shoe by lighting a fuse with a match.
The next day we were stacking our shoes on the security scanning belts. But initially, we only had to remove our leather shoes and sandals. We didn't have to take off our athletic shoes. You know, the type of freaking footwear the shoe bomber actually wore.
As it turns out, shoe type is irrelevant. PETN can only be detected via a chemical test. The substance is essentially invisible to scanners- which is probably why the pants bomber was able to get his PETN-based device through security, eight years after the shoe bomber made his attempt.
So, how's the shoe scanning working out, fellas?
And the shoe bomber's matches? TSA immediately responded by banning cigarette lighters, but not matchbooks. On a good day, TSA seized about 22,000 lighters. But they let you take your book of safety matches on-board unchallenged, thereby giving you 20 tries to ignite your undetectable explosive device.
I suspect the government has secretly retained Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker- the guys responsible for the classic film Airplane!- as security consultants. It's the only sane explanation for all this insanity.
Airport worker: "Maybe we oughta turn on the search lights now."
Robert Stack: "No... That's just what they'll be expecting us to do!"
So many terrorists have Abdul as one of their names. Maybe we could all keep our shoes on, except guys named Abdul. He had the explosives strapped to his legs. If we have to start taking our pants off, and I have to start shaving my legs before flights, I'll kill him myself.

AR500 steel targets for rifle, pistol or shotgun training.
Can I order my own custom designed AR500 steel targets?
Yes, creating custom shooting targets is our specialty! Contact us directly at support@gongshot.com or Ph: 616-402-5324. We can work from CAD drawings, a hand drawn sketch or even a picture. We can help to create your ideas!
AR500 steel targets vs. paper targets?
Paper targets are great when shooting groups for accuracy, such as when ammo load testing, and also for keeping a data record of the group results.
AR500 steel targets are great for doing quick reactive shooting drills, long distance shooting or just for general plinking. The best part of shooting steel targets is the instant audible and visual feedback when getting rounds on the target!
Is there a "best" way to mount AR500 steel targets?
Typically hanging/suspending targets or having the target loosely mounted on the target stand will allow the most audible ring and visual movement when hit. A target that is mounted with no ability to move will just make a dull thud noise and have minimal visual feedback.
What is a safe distance to shoot AR500 steel targets with a handgun?
When shooting handguns at AR500 steel targets, 15 to 20 yards for handguns is a good starting distance. Reducing the chances of a ricochet is key! Factors to consider, making sure the target is angled away from the shooter towards the ground and that the face of the target is smooth and flat and not dimpled or cratered.
What is a safe distance to shoot AR500 steel targets with a rifle?
A general guide is to keep the targets at a distance where the bullet velocity is below 3000 FPS. Fast moving bullets will destroy your targets!
Reducing the chances of ricochet is key! Factors to consider, making sure the target is angled away from the shooter towards the ground and that the face of the target is smooth and flat and not dimpled or cratered.
What kind of ammunition should I shoot at my AR500 steel targets?
Frangible ammo or copper jacketed ammo is good to use, never shoot AP ammo or steel core ammunition!
What kind of steel should I purchase for my targets?
For a combination of rifle, shotgun or handgun, choose AR500 for steel targets. AR500 is very durable when used for target shooting. AR500 has a Brinell hardness range of 477-555 BHN. In comparison, normal mild steel plate is A36. This is a non heat treated, low carbon steel, the hardness of A36 steel is about 150-180 Brinell.
Do you sell locally? Can I stop by to pickup targets in Grand Rapids, MI.?
We sure do! If you would like to do a local pickup and save on shipping costs, contact us directly at support@gongshot.com or Ph: 616-402-5324. Typical turnaround time is usually day, large orders may take longer.
What's the difference between GongShot.com and the other companies selling targets online?
The biggest difference is how the steel targets are cut. We cut all our steel targets in house with our own waterjet cutting machine. Cutting methods like plasma or torch and laser cutting create a H.A.Z. With waterjet the absence of a heat affected zone, means the AR500 steel material properties are unaffected and the targets are not subject to weakened areas around the cut edges or holes.
Where are your AR500 steel targets and targets stands made?
All of our targets stands and AR 500 steel targets are made in Grand Rapids, MI. U.S.A.
Always wear your eye protection and follow these gun safety rules!
2. Never let the muzzle sweep anything you are not willing to destroy.
4. Always be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Migos rapper Takeoff dead at 28 after shooting in Houston
by: Brad Dress
Migos rapper Takeoff has died at 28 after he was shot during an early morning Tuesday incident outside a bowling alley near Houston, Texas.
A representative for Migos confirmed the news. Takeoff was one of three members of the hip-hop group, along with Quavo and Offset.
When contacted by The Hill, the Houston Police Department (HPD) said police could not confirm the death or release any further details of the shooting, which occurred around 2:30 a.m.
A spokesperson for the HPD said officers were reviewing surveillance footage and still investigating.
Takeoff and Quavo were at the event, but police are still investigating the group's involvement in the incident, the spokesperson said.
Police said one victim was deceased when officers arrived on scene and two others were injured and taken to the hospital.
Dozens of people had gathered for a private party on a balcony at Billiards & Bowling in downtown Houston.
Migos are known for popular hits including "Fight Night" and "Handsome and Wealthy."

Gecko Reproduction
By Rebecca Bragg | Updated October 24, 2017
Andrea Izzotti/iStock/Getty Images
Geckos, lovely to look at and fun to watch, are cold-blooded critters you can really warm up to. Of the species widely available in pet stores, leopard geckos are among the most popular for their hardiness, their docility and the variety of patterns and colors they come in. After their habitat is in order, these low-maintenance lizards and their cousins, including crested and tokay geckos, don't need much more from their human families than feeding and routine care. To the uninitiated, some of their breeding habits can look a little brutal.
Geckos and How They Reproduce
Geckos have some intriguing reproductive habits. The majority of more than 2,000 identified species reproduce by laying eggs, say Richard D. Bartlett and Patricia Pope Bartlett, authors of the book "Geckos." However, one subfamily native to New Zealand bear live young, and several species, including the Indo-Pacific and mourning geckos, generate fertilized eggs with no help from males, although all offspring are genetic clones of their mothers. Female crested, tokay and leopard geckos can lay eggs without fertilization, but they will be infertile. Leopard geckos are considered fairly easy to breed. Often, all you need for success is a healthy male and female pair.
Differences Between Males and Females
You might not be able to spot gender differences in very young geckos but, by the age of about 9 months, you should see two bulges at the base of the tail behind the vent on the undersides of a male but only one on a female. Males tend to be larger and have broader heads. A single male gecko can live together in the same habitat with females. But, if given the chance, two males will fight to the death. Even before genitals are mature enough to confirm gender, if two geckos are vibrating their tails and biting at each other, they're probably males and should be separated immediately.
Match Sizes Before Breeding
Sacramento herpetologist and leopard gecko breeder Steve Sykes advises exercising caution when putting male and female geckos together for breeding purposes. Males grow faster and get heavier than females, but both geckos should weigh at least 45 grams before reproducing, he says. Even though females may be physically capable of laying eggs at weights of 25 to 30 grams, allowing them to breed at that weight "is often too stressful and can cause health problems, in addition to reducing the female's lifetime reproductive potential," Sykes says.
Mating Rituals
When a male is placed into a habitat with female, he springs into reproductive overdrive almost immediately, writes leopard gecko breeding expert Ron Tremper in "Reptiles" magazine. The tip of his tail vibrates rapidly, making a rattling sound that sends a message to all males within earshot to stay away and to females that he's ready for romance. But what comes next doesn't look very romantic. While the female stands still, the male starts biting her, working his way up from her tail. When he reaches her neck, he grasps the skin in his mouth, mounts her and, two or three minutes later, it's all over. After that, the female should be separated from the male, Tremper advises.
Incubating Eggs for Sex Selection
If mating has been successful, expect to see eggs 16 to 22 days later. From that point, if you're hoping for baby geckos, the temperature of incubation will determine their sex, Tremper says. All hatchlings from eggs incubated at 80 degrees Fahrenheit will be female. If you incubate the eggs at around 87 degrees, you'll get a more equal gender distribution. At 90 degrees, 98 percent of the hatchlings will be male. If you allow the temperature to fall below 74 degrees, though, the eggs might not hatch at all. Typically, female leopard geckos lay two eggs at a time every 15 to 22 days over a four to five-month breeding season. Depending upon incubation temperature, they'll start hatching in 35 to 89 days.

This design features a raw Black Tourmaline stone falling from a gorgeous 30 inch chain will little ball detailing. This necklace in gold perfectly matches the Black Tourmaline Drop Earrings, and in silver it's a perfect match to the Rad and Happy Ring. This gorgeous & sturdy chain is very high quality, comfortable to wear, and made with soldered links to prevent breaking. The high quality chain can be worn daily and while showering. Everything is lead & nickel free.
The process: Many crystals are sorted through to find the prettiest ones. These crystals are then carefully positioned with the prettiest angle facing forward, then a little loop is connected to the stone and the connection is shaped with epoxy to smooth everything out. The necklace then goes through a really neat process where pure copper deposits onto the crystals for 12+ hours, with me taking the pieces out to make adjustments every few hours. After tumbling, hand polishing, and plating in the thickest possible layer of nickel-free 18k gold or sterling silver, the pendants are finally complete! The pendants are then attached to the prettiest, softest, highest quality chain I have found. Long story short... a whole lot of time and love is put into this little beauty!

Is there a feature to view text messages and voicemail from the Tmobile website if I don't have my phone on me?
You can do this with DIGITS, but you will have to set up the line to be shared with other devices first if you haven't already.
You'll want to make sure you know your security questions as you will need to complete 2FA before utilizing the web client to access your messages and calls. If you are looking to use the service and your phone is not going to be handy (say, for a one time PIN to be sent out), you'll need to make sure you know the answers to your security questions because you will have to answer them every time you log in. You can check this by logging in to T-Mobile.com>Profile>T-Mobile ID>Security Questions.
1.) Log In To T-Mobile.com.
2.) Then click "Profile" in the upper right hand corner.
3.) Scroll down to "Multiple Devices" and click.
4.) Choose the line you are wishing to see from the drop down box, then ensure that the "Device Status" is turned ON.
5.) Click the "Manage Settings" under DIGITS to open the DIGITS Web Portal.
6.) From the portal, check if the number you wish to view is listed under "DIGITS I Can Use," if so, you're done and can log in to the Web Client to send and receive calls and texts from your computer or other device.
7.) If you don't see it under "DIGITS I Can Use", you'll need to click on the desired number under "Other DIGITS I Can Manage"
8.) Click "Add Myself" to add your T-Mobile ID as a user to the line of service. This way, when you log into the DIGITS Client with your T-Mobile ID, the number will appear as one you can use.
You're now good to go! You'll only have to complete the above steps once to ensure the number can be shared with other device(s).
10.) Turn on the switch next to the number you wish to use and click "Register".

Q: Error occurs when a where clause is used with a table valued function? I have the following table valued UDF:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[funParseRestParams](
    @Params NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @Delim VARCHAR(100))
    RETURNS TABLE
    AS

        RETURN (
            SELECT
                LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], 1, CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) - 1))) Parameter,
                LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) + 1, LEN([Argument]) - CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1)))) Value
            FROM (
                SELECT
                    LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@Params, [Number], CHARINDEX(@Delim, @Params + @Delim, [Number]) - [Number]))) [Argument]
                FROM (
                    SELECT
                        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name) [Number]
                    FROM sys.all_objects) AS x
                WHERE Number <= LEN(@Params) AND SUBSTRING(@Delim + @Params, [Number], LEN(@Delim)) = @Delim) AS y);

GO

I'm running this in a cursor using the parameters string from ReportServer.dbo.ExecutionLogStorage.  Parameters look something like this: "Some%20Param%20Name=Hello&Some%20Other%20Param=NoLuck"
When I run the function in a cursor like this:
SELECT * FROM Reports.dbo.funParseRestParams(@Param, '&')

Everything comes out fine, but when I add a where clause:
    SELECT * FROM Reports.dbo.funParseRestParams(@Param, '&') R
    WHERE R.[Parameter] = 'AccessType'

I get the following error message every time:
Msg 537, Level 16, State 3, Line 13
Invalid length parameter passed to the LEFT or SUBSTRING function.

So why does my where clause kill the function?
EDIT:  Adding something extra.  You can paste the code below into SQL Server to replicate this error.  The error only occurs when using the "first" column, the Parameter column in the where clause.  Using the "second" Value column in the where clause does not cause the error.  You can remove commenting below to see this in action:
DECLARE @Params NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @Delim VARCHAR(1)

SET @Params = 'Greeting=Hello&Name=George&Dessert=Jello'
SET @Delim = '&'

SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT
        LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], 1, CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) - 1))) Parameter,
        LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) + 1, LEN([Argument]) - CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1)))) Value
    FROM (
        SELECT
            LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@Params, [Number], CHARINDEX(@Delim, @Params + @Delim, [Number]) - [Number]))) [Argument]
        FROM (
            SELECT
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name) [Number]
            FROM sys.all_objects) AS x
        WHERE [Number] <= LEN(@Params) AND SUBSTRING(@Delim + @Params, [Number], LEN(@Delim)) = @Delim) AS y
) R
--WHERE R.Parameter = 'AccessType'
--WHERE R.Parameter = 'Greeting'
--WHERE R.Value = 'Bananas'
--WHERE R.Value = 'Jello'

A: You may wish to consider something like the following:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitStrings_Moden
(
   @List NVARCHAR(MAX),
   @Delimiter NVARCHAR(255)
)
RETURNS TABLE
WITH SCHEMABINDING AS
RETURN
  WITH E1(N)        AS ( SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1
                         UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1
                         UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 1),
       E2(N)        AS (SELECT 1 FROM E1 a, E1 b),
       E4(N)        AS (SELECT 1 FROM E2 a, E2 b),
       E42(N)       AS (SELECT 1 FROM E4 a, E2 b),
       cteTally(N)  AS (SELECT 0 UNION ALL SELECT TOP (DATALENGTH(ISNULL(@List,1)))
                         ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) FROM E42),
       cteStart(N1) AS (SELECT t.N+1 FROM cteTally t
                         WHERE (SUBSTRING(@List,t.N,1) = @Delimiter OR t.N = 0))
  SELECT Item = SUBSTRING(@List, s.N1, ISNULL(NULLIF(CHARINDEX(@Delimiter,@List,s.N1),0)-s.N1,8000))
    FROM cteStart s;

This code is attributed to Jeff Moden here.  This site also has other approaches.  It may be worth adopting a well-vetted solution (You must also vet it for yourself) rather than trying to reinvent the wheel and having to spend inordinate time debugging it as well.

A: I dropped by the MSDN to search for an answer and I got one.  I'm still looking at the details, but for some reason the following works where the original did not.  The second line of the first subquery is altered:
DECLARE @Params NVARCHAR(MAX)
DECLARE @Delim VARCHAR(1)

SET @Params = 'Greeting=Hello&Name=George&Dessert=Jello'
SET @Delim = '&'

SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT
        LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], 0, CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) ))) Parameter,
        LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING([Argument], CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1) + 1, LEN([Argument]) - CHARINDEX('=', [Argument], 1)))) Value
    FROM (
        SELECT
            LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(@Params, [Number], CHARINDEX(@Delim, @Params + @Delim, [Number]) - [Number]))) [Argument]
        FROM (
            SELECT
                ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY name) [Number]
            FROM sys.all_objects) AS x
        WHERE [Number] <= LEN(@Params) AND SUBSTRING(@Delim + @Params, [Number], LEN(@Delim)) = @Delim) AS y

Mahrez wins English PFA award
Leicester forward Riyad Mahrez was named English soccer's player of the year by the Professional Footballers' Association.
The 25-year-old Algerian international, the first Leicester player and first African to win the award, has scored 17 goals and made 11 assists in 34 league games to help Leicester move to the brink of their first English top-flight title.
Mahrez finished ahead of fellow Leicester players Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante, Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, Arsenal's Mesut Ozil and West Ham United's Dimitri Payet.
The Algerian praised the contribution of his team mates and manager Claudio Ranieri after being voted the best player in England by his fellow professionals.
"All the credit is for them, seriously," Mahrez, who joined Leicester from French second-tier side Le Havre for STG400,000 ($A752,000) in January 2014, said.
"And for my manager and the staff. Without them I wouldn't receive this award and I wouldn't score. It's the team spirit, and I want to dedicate it to them.
"It's extra special because if the players vote for me it's because they've seen I've been great this year so I'm happy.
"Without my team mates I wouldn't get this award."
Mahrez also spoke of his pride at being the first African player to receive the award won last year by Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard.
"It's an honour to be the first African -- not the best but the first," Mahrez added.
Spurs midfielder Dele Alli, 20, was named PFA Young Player of the Year, with his team still chasing the leaders in a bid to win their first league title since 1961.

Q: SObject Numeric field - Integer.valueOf() vs casting When working in Apex it is not uncommon for us to work with a numeric field that has a 0 scale. To use that with some built in functions we need to use an Integer. To provide an example, let's say we have a field on Account TrainingDays__c. This field always holds a whole number.
To use this field with Date.addDays() we need to convert the Decimal value that acct.TrainingDays__c is represented in to an Integer. For this task we have two options: Integer.valueOf(acct.TrainingDays__c) or (Integer)acct.TrainingDays__c.
I know that there are some differences when working in other languages, but for the given example where the source value is a numeric SObject field:

*

*Is there ever a time when one of the methods would throw an exception and the other would not?

*Is one more performant than the other?

*Other than code consistency is there any reason to standardize on one approach?

A:
Is there ever a time when one of the methods would throw an exception and the other would not?

Yes, there are differences between the two. For example, you can't cast a String to an Integer, but you can use Integer.valueOf to parse a String into an Integer. As a side effect, this means that different constructs are susceptible to different errors. For example:
Object o = '32';
// Following line would throw a runtime exception
//Integer i1 = (Integer)o;
// But this line will return the value 32.
Integer i2 = Integer.valueOf(o);

Is one more performant than the other?

Casting is always faster, but only handles "legal" conversions, such as converting a Decimal or Long to an Integer. An analysis I just did suggests that casting is about 7.8 times faster than using Integer.valueOf, with casting requiring about 0.001679 milliseconds, and Integer.valueOf requiring about 0.013072 milliseconds (edit: normalized out the time required to execute a loop for better comparison).
(Additional Edit): The difference between casting and Integer.valueOf becomes increasingly more pronounced the more verbose your profiling and system log levels are set to. Cranking everything down to a bare minimum, and normalizing the loop and heap allocations, shows that casting is about 0.0008 milliseconds, while Integer.valueOf is about 0.00114 milliseconds, which isn't even twice as expensive. However, since most users operate at a level higher than "no debugging at all", the previous paragraph fairly accurately expresses the typical performance penalty you can expect for a normal production user.

Other than code consistency is there any reason to standardize on one approach?

You should always prefer performance over standardization, but be aware that both casting and valueOf are tools that have different purposes (so you should ideally use both as appropriate). Use casting when you know that you're using a legal cast type, such as Decimal or Long, and use Integer.valueOf when you need the flexibility of also parsing strings.

A: For your specific example, there is this third way:
Integer i = acct.TrainingDays__c?.intValue();

or:
Integer i = acct.TrainingDays__c?.round();

The benefit of using these methods is that they more clearly express what is being done and provide options in how the operation is done (e.g. rounding mode).
Methods like Integer.valueOf make sense when you don't know the type of the argument.
As for using casting for this particular conversion, I'm a little surprised it even works. That observation leads to a reason you haven't included in your list: the most important reason to choose is clarity for someone reading the code (e.g. someone other than you changing the code in 2 years time). Whether the operation takes 1 microsocond or 10 microsoconds is irrelevant if a a 5 millisecond query comes soon after. See e.g. we should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time.
+1 for sfdcfox's measuring to get the performance figures rather than speculating.

THE ATHLETICS team took the second gold medal for the Slovak representation at the European Games in Baku, Azerbaijan in an event that combined the finishes in a number of events.
The Slovak team defeated the Austrians, who placed second, by only 0.5 points in the last discipline. The victory was decided by the final men's 4x400 metres relay when Austrians lost the relay baton, thus ending at seventh place, six points behind Slovakia.
"We thought we would be second and were prepared for it because Austrians had a good relay," said Marcel Lomnický, hammer thrower and captain of the team, as quoted by the TASR newswire.
He added he was very glad to hear the Slovak hymn when standing at the first position.
"It was the first victory for me, because I was twice second at the Universiade," Lomnický continued. He also praised the performance of his teammates.

edit:
I have made some tests in dev_appserver > Inbound Mail with "àèé" in subject field and the subject is a unicode but if your msg_body is not unicode, find the codec with type(msg_body) and decode the subject first of all.
message = mail.InboundEmailMessage(request.body)
msg_body = message.subject # if unicode or
msg_body = message.subject.decode("ascii") # if ascii then

I am excited to announce the launch of the third issue of Organs Everywhere (Œ), available for online browsing or download here. This issue, entitled "Cyborgs and Monsters" combines contributions by an outstanding pool of thinkers, writers and designers: Ben Woodard investigates the space between haunted and green houses, and calls for the opening up of 'homeness' to broader outside ecologies. Liam Young and Tobias Klein with Denis Vlieghe explore the effects of external flows on the internal geographies of the body. Simone Ferracina performs digital plastic surgeries on the body as perceived in virtual/physical blended space. Sara Hendren proposes an ethics of augmentation rooted in the cyborgian experience of disability. Sukjong Hong transforms and overwrites the monstrous 'others' generated by Cold War narratives. Tim Maly narrates the science fictional story of a woman who gets pressured into consuming the drug-filled remains of an enemy academic.
Thanks to the contributors for their amazing and generous work. And to everyone else, enjoy!

Grant Morrison and the Problem of 93 Million Miles
By shathley Q / 11 January 2012
Over the course of his lifetime, some 400 years ago, astronomer and physicist Johannes Kepler grew obsessed with the problem of 93 million miles. The exact distance from the sun, at the center of our solar system, to the earth. This distance meant a perfect temperature, neither too hot nor too cold. In the area between the tropics, water would neither freeze nor boil away, providing remaining as the liquid water essential to the development of life. A 24-hour rotation period of the Earth on its own axis meant regular diurnal/nocturnal biorhythms could be established. And seasonal tilts meant that vegetative cycles would ensure regular crops. 93 million miles, Kepler correctly observed, was just perfect for the formation and the sustained expression of life as we know it. But, Kepler went on to ponder, by what mechanism had the Earth developed at just the right distance? How could the planet have formed at exactly the right distance from the sun, in what would later become called the Goldilocks Zone? How, or by whose hand?
There is of course a flaw in Kepler's thinking. A kind of backwards-rationalization in the midst of playing out. It is the assumption that life on Earth, life as a we know it, was an intended outcome. And, as a corollary of that assumption, the idea that conditions necessary for that outcome were prearranged either by some divine hand or the mechanisms of stellar evolution. Kepler's mistake, was the mistake of assuming intent. The mistake of assuming agency. Mistaking the consequence of life developing where it was perfect for life to develop, as an intended outcome instead. This kind of logical flaw is referred to as "fundamental reasoning", since the reasoning falsely assumes a fundament (in Kepler's case the idea that life as we now recognize it was an intended outcome).
But the more subtle flaw that Kepler's obsession opens us up to is the false assumption that all life is life as we know it. That somehow all life is dandelions, and monkeys, and humans who build straw men and robots. Only in the last generation have we began to study extremophiles who exist where no life should–lifeforms that exist deep in undersea volcanic recesses, or bacteria that grow deep within rocks. The more subtle flaw in Kepler's thinking?–that life as we know it, is the only way life can exist.
In a completely different area of endeavor, comics rather than astrophysics, Grant Morrison deals with exactly the problem of fundamental reasoning. In Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes, Grant (together with artists Cameron Stewart and Chris Burnham) offers a double-punch that measures the possibility of the Batman.
We've seen it before, in 2009, after the crescendoed events of "Batman R.I.P." and Final Crisis (events that ostensibly saw Batman meet his match in Dr. Hurt of the Black Glove and his death at the hands of Darkseid)…we've seen a reinvention of the Batman, as Dick Grayson. And again in 2010 in The Return of Bruce Wayne, with the original Batman slowly crawling his way through a labyrinth of time, in each era seeding the impossibility of there not being a Batman. And in 2011, with Bruce Wayne's invariable return to the present, and his establishing "Batman, Inc."–a way to "fight ideas with better ideas. The idea of crime, with the idea of Batman". We've seen Grant perpetually expand and reinvent the idea of Batman.
Batman Incorporated: Leviathan Strikes is a one-shot that concludes the storylines which ran through Batman, Incorporated. Given the rapid-fire nature of the storytelling in Batman, Inc., the end-of-edition montage which throws together key moments in a linear through-narrative proves incredibly useful. Grant's energy is frenetic, and the sheer momentum of the story creates an incredibly high-stakes feel.
But the real wonder here, is (yet-again) Grant's unflinching expansion of the idea of the Batman. Both during Batgirl's infiltration of St. Hadrian's Academy (a ghoulishly clever British boarding school for teen-girl supervillains) and Batman, Inc's takedown of the shadowy Herr Netz's web of global crime, our focus begins to shift. It's ever so subtle at first, but we quickly lock into step. The question here, isn't "How did Batman come to be?", "What is the effect of Batman in the world?".
There's a freedom in Grant's conceptualization of the Batman. He's not writing for a Batman that is destined to exist, so he's not writing for a Batman demanded by unseen corporate figureheads. This is a vibrant and vigorous Batman, one that simply exists, one that can take action in the world. The can-do Batman, contrasted with the reactionary Batman of the past. A Batman that isn't simply demanded by market research. A Batman that isn't 93 million miles away.
If anything, Grant achieves the hardest thing for any writer of continuity characters. Without a reboot or a megaevent crossover, Grant shows the flaws in the sociopathic framing of the Batman character, flaws that first began to appear in Frank Miller's Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns. If anything, Grant is able to show how Frank's Batman hinges upon a kind of parochial elitism that damages self and demands retribution on a social scale. And yet, in Grant's hands, we encounter a strong, disciplined, resilient Batman. So much better a characterization for a man whose only real power was the insight to dress as an icon.

Analysts Lower iPhone 5c Sales Projections Over Demand Concerns
The iPhone 5c may be a new phone, but the buzz is around the iPhone 5s, as buyers are after the premium product from a premium brand. How does this affect Apple — is it part of the company's long-term plans?
Before the iPhone 5c was launched, the whole blogosphere was talking about a lower-cost version of the high-end gadget. The bubble burst when Apple presented the colourful gadget and its pricing: $99 on contract ($129 in Canada), and the unlocked version sells for $550 (CDN$599). For those awaiting a cheap phone, this came as a disappointment. The iPhone 5s, however, was love at first sight for many, especially the gold version.
While the first-weekend sales numbers were staggering, breaking all previous records with 9 million iPhones sold, analysts were concerned about the iPhone 5c sales, which, according to the available information, has higher margins than the high-end iPhone 5s. So, from an investor's perspective, high iPhone 5c sales seem to be a priority.
But what do consumers think about it? Well, as the first surveys show, things aren't looking too bright for Apple: the iPhone 5s outsold the 5c globally by 3.7 to 1. Furthermore, as the CIRP study points out, 64% of all iPhone buyers have opted for the 5s, while the 5c was the choice of only 27%.
The consumer's reaction is somewhat understandable: all Apple did was to pack the year-old model into a beautiful colourful plastic shell, and sell it as a new device, suggests Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray. From a consumer's perspective, the 5c isn't new, because it doesn't sport the upgrades its high-end cousin does, he says.
However, we mustn't forget that these surveys reflect only the first wave of buyers in 11 countries – although, as we can see from our non-scientific survey, our readers aren't too interested in the 5c. Apple is preparing to launch the handsets in another 35 countries next Friday, and then in a further dozen or more on November 1. This could easily change the picture in the long run. Or not.
"By definition, the 5c would not sell well to customers who queue overnight on launch day — it ought to be more of a slow burn," Benedict Evans, an analyst at Enders Analysis in London said in an e-mail to Bloomberg. "That means that it could be selling according to plan and still be outsold by the 5s this month. The question is what happens in six months' time — does it fall off with the 5s or remain steady?"
The market's early reaction to the iPhone launch shows that Steve Jobs was right: what consumers want is high-end gadgets instead of cheaper ones.


SHEfinds / Celebrity / We Can't Believe Gwen Stefani Showed THIS Much Cleavage On TV–Her Dress Is Too Hot For Words!
We Can't Believe Gwen Stefani Showed THIS Much Cleavage On TV--Her Dress Is Too Hot For Words!
Gwen Stefani totally stole the show on Jimmy Kimmel Live earlier this month, looking as gorgeous as ever as she talked about her newly revamped Christmas album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas.
The 49-year-old singer was all decked out in holiday cheer and a white-as-snow sheer polka dot dress that fit her like a glove. The low-cut bra top dress had sheer cutouts around her midsection and upper thighs that showed off her toned abs and legs. To add even more drama to the va-va-voom look, it had ruffle detailing around the hips and bottom of the floor-length skirt. She accessorized with layered silver bracelets and rings and wore her signature bleached blonde locks in effortless waves.
If you're loving Stefani's sheer polka dot moment as much as we are, shop similar dress styles below.

The publication of the RACP document, "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Guidelines" was welcomed. I believed that this document could have been of much assistance to doctors, disability officers in the universities and the tertiary students themselves. But I have been sadly disappointed.
My doctoral research area has been into equity and human rights in tertiary education for Australian ME/CFS tertiary students (Morris 2001a). I shall discuss some issues which have arisen out of this research and how this relates to the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Guidelines (Revised Draft 2001) of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
All participants' symptoms met the CDC research definition (Fukuda et al. 1994; Jason, King et al, 1999). The forty participants (twenty-nine females and eleven males) have been enrolled post-1994, at twenty-four Australian universities and eight TAFE/OTEN institutions. All states and territories of Australia are represented. No participants formally withdrew, although illness limited the full participation of some of the severely ill.
My research found that ME/CFS is now the most common disability condition in Australian Universities. My research also found that there are problems with human rights and equity in tertiary education in Australia arising from the lived experience of tertiary students with the chronic illness of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Morris 2000, 2001b, 2001c). This study also investigated the degree of empowerment of ME/CFS students in negotiating study conditions and accommodations appropriate to their health limitations. Higher retention rates of ME/CFS tertiary students and fewer suicides amongst ME/CFS tertiary students in Australia when they obtain the same human rights and equity of access as enjoyed by other students is another expected long term research outcome (King 1999; Mungovan & England 1998).
Many report difficulty in saying the right word and are conscious of the fact that they continue to say the wrong one, for example 'cold' when they mean 'hot'. Others find that they start a sentence but cannot complete it, while some others have difficulty comprehending the written or spoken word (Ramsay 1986).
The patient sample had the following neuropsychological impairments: word finding problems; subtle problems with receptive and expressive aphasia, including intermittent dysnomias; decreased concentration; distractability, problems in recall, verbal more than visual, including remote memory disturbance; dyscalculia...; both gross and fine motor problems; spatial-perceptual dysfunction, including losing their way while driving; some abstract reasoning disturbance, primarily non-verbal; decreased visual discrimination; and problems in sequencing.
More time has to be spent in encoding this new information, yet on the day of an academic examination there can be no assurance that this information will be able to be retrieved and utilised, as mental fatigue will mean that the brain has apparently shut down. Brainwaves, without warning, may change from beta (thinking) to delta and theta waves, (associated with sleep and pre-sleep states in healthy people) as sudden inexplicable 'power drains' during cognitive challenge (Preston 2000). My research also found that there is objective evidence of deterioration of physical and mental fatigue after exertion, such as academic assessment, and yet this report again has not mentioned this.
My research found that there were profound difficulties experienced by all forty participants with cognitive dysfunction. And yet this report of the RACP has not mentioned the nature of cognitive impairment in CFS. My own research findings have been consistent with the research which used the CDC definitions DeLuca, Johnson et al.1993; Johnson, DeLuca 1994; Krupp, Sliwinski et al. 1994; Lange, DeLuca et al. 1999; Marcel, Komaroff et al. (1996); Marshall, Forstot, et al. 1997, and others using this same definition. Other research in this area which has not used the CDC research definition and has used broader or alternative definitions or has not stated their research definition has not come up with similar findings (DiPino & Kane 1996; Kane, Gantz et al. 1996; Scheffers, Johnson et al. 1992; Schmaling, DiClementi et al. 1994 and Voller-Conna, Wakefield et al. 1997).
The Federal Disability Discrimination Act (FDDA 1992), and Code of Practice for Tertiary Students With Disabilities.(O'Connor et al., 1998), are designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities however the reality is that they are failing to meet the needs of the ME/CFS student. My research has found that currently, there is the dilemma in accommodating the needs of ME/CFS tertiary students. There seems to a huge chasm between the medical knowledge of a condition, and how it impinges on academic progress. The complexity of the medical symptoms, and their far-reaching impact on the ME/CFS student, has meant that there has been many complaints amongst tertiary ME/CFS students that their needs for suitable accommodations are not being met, especially in the area of academic assessment and attendance. Other symptoms which this RACP report has not addressed has included orthostatic intolerance (neurally mediated hypotension), the muscle lactate response which affected students when writing (especially in examinations) and their mobility, and the higher incidence of new-onset asthma and/allergy after CFS where students are affected by environmental allergens/chemicals.
Academics, teachers and lecturers are confined by the educational requirements of their institutions, especially in the areas of assessment and attendance. Yet at the same time they need to address and meet the requirements of the Federal Disability Discrimination Act (1992), especially Section 6 which deals with Indirect Discrimination.
Indirect Discrimination occurs when 'normal' students are able to comply with a regulation/situation whereas the student with the disability cannot due to the nature of their impairment. Further the act does not allow for the 'discriminator' to plead that they did not understand they were discriminating. This therefore leaves academics and teachers in a very difficult position as they face the task of finding academic assessment procedures which are appropriate for their ME/CFS students.
Medical practitioners are writing medical certificates requesting accommodation for their patients Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and the only symptom therefore, which the lecturers, teachers and disability support persons can negotiate on this basis is the fatigue, a non-definable entity which is assumed to equate to mere tiredness. It is acknowledged that medical practitioners are not trained educators and thus would find it difficult to comment on the cognitive difficulties which is experienced by ME/CFS tertiary students, and it is here that these guidelines could have assisted medical practitioners in writing recommendations for academic accommodations for their patients.
These RACP Guidelines ignore the cognitive dysfunction of ME/CFS and also the other physical symptoms altogether. A very serious omission, and one which leaves those involved in making appropriate accommodations in the area of education at much risk of infringing the Federal Disability Discrimination Act 1992, especially Section 6, Indirect Discrimination. And the only defence which the educator, lecturer and academic will have if legally challenged, is that they acted on the advice of the students treating medical practitioner!
The serious omission of the effects of cognitive dysfunction is not consistent with my research findings of the effects of ME/CFS in tertiary education in Australia. Further these guidelines will not assist medical practitioners to advise educators on the necessary accommodations required for their ME/CFS students, and this will leave educators open to legal action under Section 6, Indirect Discrimination, Federal Disability Discrimination Act 1992.

Meet Cue, the personal assistant of the future that predicts your next move
The San Francisco-based predictive service wants to bring to your schedule what Mint brought to your finances: sanity.
By Beth Carter | December 17, 2012 -- 06:30 GMT (22:30 PST) | Topic: Innovation
Let's be honest: I'm a fanatical list-maker. Being able to visualize what I need to do in a day is essential if I want to be even remotely productive. It ensures that there's nothing I miss -- unless, of course, I forget to put it on the list.
Calendar reminders pop up on my phone and laptop, and pre-set alarms help me be where I need to be on time. It's an intricate, but not integrated, system that still relies on me being with-it enough to pre-set those reminders and write out those lists. It's not the worst, but it's certainly not the best, either.
Daniel Gross and Robby Walker co-founded the service Cue to add a dose of intelligence to my ad-hoc setup. Their goal? An "intelligent snapshot of your day."
"We both realized that, in this modern age, it's actually shockingly difficult to get access to information you might need at a given time," Gross said.
It's a moment of clarity to which we can all relate. The scenario that inspired Cue occurred when Gross was driving to a birthday party and struggled to find the address of his destination on his mobile phone while en route. Poring through apps, e-mail and menus behind the wheel? A bad idea, no doubt about it. But why should it be that difficult in the first place?
Gross and Walker say they developed Cue to connect bits and pieces of information like names, addresses, directions and events. The duo employ two of today's biggest technology trends -- cloud computing and mobility -- to bring a big data-like approach to the small data that we use every day.
"What this means to us is that we can build a service we can carry around all day and that can tell you what the next thing is when you need to know it," Gross said. "And with the cloud, for the first time you can connect completely unrelated bits of information together."
The pair's plan was to develop a service that always knows what the next item on your schedule is. Their first effort was called Greplin, a service that would aggregate a person's information and suggest to them things for which to search. It was, in essence, a personal search engine.
It took a year to build the predictive system at the heart of Greplin's successor, Cue, which launched in July. Cue turns Greplin's personal index on its head by attempting to predict -- action, rather than reaction -- which information is relevant to a person at a given time. In Gross' case, it's pulling the address to that birthday party from his correspondence and making it easily accessible in the time ahead of the event. For the rest of us, it could be as simple as displaying information for an upcoming flight in line with the work meetings that precede it -- without requiring the manual entry of that information into a single calendar.
Gross and Walker want Cue to replace the calendar. As you tell the service more about yourself, and link more accounts to it, Cue will mine those databases to create a single event stream. An upcoming flight, an electronic invitation to an event, or a simple e-mail exchange setting up a meeting over coffee -- all can be automatically translated into entries in Cue.
"We try to be very careful that we're building something that's both relative to consumers but also exciting," Gross said. "You don't want to make an exact replica of something that exists, but it should still be relatable."
In the future, the Cue team intends to dial up the intelligence quotient of the service a bit. For example, its founders want to be able to prompt users to leave five minutes early for an appointment in anticipation of traffic congestion. They also want Cue to be able to dynamically handle meetings that run late or people that cancel on you at the last second.
"With a lot of successful products you use, the idea is much larger than the initial product launched," Gross said. "The goal with Google was to organize the world of information. That's a grand idea, and it was only in 2007 or 2008 when they began to catalog books."
Cue's vision is also relatively grand -- Gross and Walker are attempting to build what is essentially the personal assistant of the future. But the pair started out with a far more modest goal: surface the right information to end the frustration. "Otherwise you never end up launching," Gross told SmartPlanet.
"The main barrier sometimes between products and adoption is, 'Will this make you feel cool?' -- like Instagram -- or 'Can we make this thing work for you?,' " Gross said. "We are very much in the latter category. We had this idea; we built the infrastructure to support it."

It has apparently been a good day at the botanical art exhibition in the botanical gardens of Frankfurt, Palmengarten. They have had quite a few visitors there, interested in both the beautiful gardens and the exhibition.
But tomorrow Sue Henon who is manning the exhibition there will have her life made even more complicated.
Apparently there is to be a week long strike of the railways, starting in the evening. This means that she is now in search of somewhere to stay for the rest of the week as there is no other way in which she can get home tomorrow night and back again to the exhibition. But as she quite rightly says, her problem is no different to everyone else's who travels into the city by train.
As a fellow member of the SBA I am hugely grateful to her for what she is doing for the society and for me as an individual; I too have some paintings in the exhibition.
Today I have been putting together some designs for new cards and downloading assignments ready to start marking after I have finished teaching my weekly class tomorrow (today actually!). Unfortunately the trip to Germany has left me a little behind with that work. As botanical art tutor for the London College of Art (LAC) I am really pleased to see that there seems to be an increase in interest for learning to paint botanically.
More pictures from the exhibition. Some of the artwork looks as though it isn't hanging straight in the photos. But unfortunately it was me not hanging straight when I took the pictures!
The long wall in the Palm house and vitrines down the centre containing the prizes mentioned on the SBA facebook page, jewellary by Lesley Hall and Glassware by Jacqueline Allwood.
A total of 26 pictures now have red dots on them.
What do the red dots indicate? Sold pieces? So many beautiful paintings. Wish I could be there in person, but your blog offers the next best thing.
Hei Jill, the red dots indicate pictures sold. But what I didn't know is that green dots mean the picture is reserved. I.e. Someone is interested and they have been given the first right to buy within a certain period of time – normally within a 24-48 hour period. If no decision is made to buy, then the picture is on sale again.
I'm glad that you are enjoying the blog and seeing pictures displayed in the exhibition. Unfortunately many of the artists can't get there either, so this as you say is the next best thing.

Four month ago it works all fine, than I killed my debian 7 and now I'm on to bring it in the same way like before. I've add the last field "banner" new but I've done noting more.

A: You can sort through all that traceback chaff by looking for this:
...for the right syntax to use near ''Adressliste_forum1_v4.csv'  INTO ...

On a 1064 error, MySQL presents, right after "use near", your statement starting with the place where its parse error was found.
Now, should not your statement start with
 LOAD DATA INFILE 'Adressliste_forum1_v4.csv'  INTO ...

Q: Get typeguard guard type for HOF I have the following simple HOF
function myHOF(input: any, typeguard: (thing: any) => boolean) {
  if (typeguard(input)) {
    return input;
  }
}

with the typeguard function
function myTypeguard(input: any): input is Array<any> {
  return Array.isArray(input);
}

Used as
const val = [1,2];
const thing = myHOF(val, myTypeguard);  // <- should be Array<any> | undefined

Clearly, this is oversimplified, but this type of thing becomes important in creating generic tree-traversal HOF's. Is there any compatibility in the language for this yet?
The more interesting example
export function* depthFirstRetrieval<T=PlanNode, L=PlanNode>(
  jxml: T,
  stopConditional: (obj: PlanNode) => boolean,
) {
  if (stopConditional(jxml)) {
    yield jxml;
  } else {
    for (const key of Object.keys(jxml) as Array<keyof typeof jxml>) {
      const property = jxml[key];
      if (Array.isArray(property)) {
        for (const childNode of property) {
          yield *depthFirstRetrieval(childNode, stopConditional);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Should yield type L

A: Sure, you could use a type guard signature in higher-order functions.  In fact, the TypeScript standard library's type definition for Array.filter() uses this to allow you to return a narrower array than the one you filter:

interface Array {
    filter(
      callbackfn: (value: T, index: number, array: T[]) => value is S,
      thisArg?: any
  ): S[];

Anyway, for your example:
function myHOF<T>(input: any, typeguard: (thing: any) => thing is T) : T | undefined {
  if (typeguard(input)) {
    return input;
  }
  return;
}

The myHOF() is generic in T because you want to output the same type T that you test for with the type guard.  Also note how the typeguard parameter is annotated as a function returning the type predicate thing is T.
Now you can use it how you expect:
function myTypeguard(input: any): input is Array<any> {
  return Array.isArray(input);
}

const val = [1,2];
const thing = myHOF(val, myTypeguard);  // thing is any[] | undefined

Edit: I'm not 100% sure about your other case with PlanNode, but maybe this:
export function* depthFirstRetrieval<T extends PlanNode, L extends PlanNode>(
  jxml: T,
  stopConditional: (obj: PlanNode) => obj is L,
): IterableIterator<L>
{
  if (stopConditional(jxml)) {
    yield jxml;
  } else {
    for (const key of Object.keys(jxml) as Array<keyof typeof jxml>) {
      const property = jxml[key];
      if (Array.isArray(property)) {
        for (const childNode of property) {
          yield *depthFirstRetrieval(childNode, stopConditional);
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Hope that helps; good luck!

Peru's former president Alan Garcia has died after deliberately shooting himself when police tried to arrest him in connection with a multibillion-dollar Latin American corruption scandal.
Earlier, Garcia's lawyer, Erasmo Reyna, told local media his client "took the decision to shoot himself" early on Wednesday after officers arrived at his home in the capital, Lima, to place him under preventive detention.
Peru's interior minister, Carlos Moran, told journalists Garcia had told police officers he was going to call his lawyer and had "shut himself in his bedroom" before a shot was heard.
The 69-year-old politician – who is facing accusations of taking bribes from the Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht during his 2006-2011 presidency – was admitted to a nearby hospital soon after, at about 6.45am, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Before his death was confirmed Peru's health minister, Zulema Tomas, told reporters Garcia was in a "very serious" condition and had suffered three heart attacks from which he had been resuscitated. A 27-strong medical team, including neurosurgeons and intensive care specialists, was fighting to save the former president's life.
"This is a day of national grief," Alberto Quintanilla, a left-wing congressman, told local television after confirmation of Garcia's death.
Garcia is one of four former Peruvian presidents to be sucked into the vast Odebrecht scandal – by which multimillion-dollar bribes were paid to secure construction contracts across the region – alongside Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, Ollanta Humala and Alejandro Toledo.
Last week, a judge ordered that Mr Kuczynski be placed under preventive custody for 10 days as part of a money-laundering investigation. Known as PPK, Mr Kuczynski led Peru from 2016 until he resigned last March before a congressional move to impeach him over links to Odebrecht.
Garcia served two terms as president – from 1985 to 1990 and then 2006 to 2011 – and is one of Peru's most prominent politicians. He rejected claims of wrongdoing, painting himself as the victim of political persecution. Last year he unsuccessfully requested political asylum in Uruguay after seeking shelter in its embassy in Lima.
"I have never sold myself and this has been demonstrated," Garcia tweeted on Tuesday.
The attempt to arrest Garcia came just days after an investigation revealed his personal secretary, Luis Nava, had allegedly received $4 million from Odebrecht's off-the-books bribery department.
In an interview on Tuesday, Garcia said he "emphatically" rejected the accusations against him which he described as "speculations" and "moral assassination".
Political allies from Garcia's once-powerful party, Arpa, expressed shock and outrage at his death.
"At this moment of profound pain we must reaffirm our unity and our brotherhood," tweeted congressman Jorge del Castillo, calling on supporters to gather outside the party's headquarters on Wednesday night.

Cell-Tech is the most powerful hardgainer creatine formula engineered for maximal gains in size and strength. Break through your plateaus fast with enhanced nutrient transport and the exact 10g dose of creatine for effective strength and musclebuilding gains. Subjects using the core ingredients in Cell-Tech gained an incredible 3.4 lbs. of muscle in just 7 days.
The ultimate hardgainer creatine formula, Cell-Tech delivers 7g of HPLC-certified creatine monohydrate and 3g of creatine HCl which helps improve between-set muscle recovery, amplify muscle performance, and build more lean muscle. Get more muscle size and fullness with the multi-stage combination of carbohydrates which helps shuttle creatine into the muscle and rapidly replenishes glycogen stores and deliver an intense muscle-expanding effect.
Cell-Tech supplies L-leucine, L-valine, and L-isoleucine in a 2:1:1 ratio as well as taurine and alanine. These free-form amino acids are some of the most abundant amino acids in muscle and aid in cell volumization. For enhanced nutrient transport Cell-Tech includes 20 0mg of alpha lipoic acid (ALA). Research suggests that ALA helps improve the absorption of creatine and glucose into the muscle cell through specialized transporters.
Cell-Tech ingredients are supported by over 30 research studies. The 10g clinical dose of creatine was shown to provide fast muscle growth and increased strength. This includes 7g of creatine monohydrate, the most studied form of creatine in the world. Cell-Tech is the only formula with the precise 75g dose of a multi-stage carb blend. This forces a powerful insulin spike post-workout, which helps shuttle creatine and other nutrients into muscles.
Subjects who consumed the amount of creatine and carbohydrates supplied during the Cell-Tech loading stage gained, on average, 3.4 pounds of muscle in 7 days. Subjects taking creatine with juice gained only 0.8 pounds. In another study, subjects taking the amount of creatine and carbohydrates found in two scoops of Cell-Tech significantly increased their strength on the bench press by 17%, leg press by 29% and biceps curl by 28% respectively.

Social media makes big data collection dangerously easy. By the end of this year, there'll be nearly a billion people on this planet that actively use social networking sites. There are 48 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every single minute. There are 200 million Tweets posted every day. The average Facebook user creates 90 pieces of content each month. Back in the year 2000, about 100 billion photos were shot worldwide, but only a minuscule proportion of them were actually uploaded online. In 2010, only on Facebook, in a single month, 2.5 billion photos were uploaded. The internet and its content expands at a shocking rate, creating an almost unlimited data base. The more we share, the more data we produce. Consequently, the more data we produce, the more scientist study and understand us.


Have I the right to join a union?
on termination of employment, including selection for redundancy.
Dismissal relating to union membership or non-membership, is an automatically unfair dismissal for staff with 'employee' status, and other workers such as casual or agency workers can also bring a claim for detriment if work assignments are ended for this reason. Both employees and other workers are protected from detriment related to union membership or activities.
It is also unlawful to refuse to employ someone, dismiss them or treat them unfavourably in any way, or for an employment agency to refuse services, because someone's name appears on a blacklist. A blacklist is a list of any length containing details of individuals who are or have been trade union members, or who have taken part in union activities. If you think your name may appear on a blacklist, you should contact your union as soon as possible.
A good source of information and support is the campaigning group known as the Blacklist Support Group, which is hosted by health and safety campaign organisation, Hazards.


Nissan will enter the FIA Formula E Championship beginning in Season Five, becoming the first Japanese manufacturer to commit to the all-electric championship.
The announcement came on Wednesday at the Tokyo Motor Show, and is expected to see the automotive giant take over Renault's manufacturer slot, starting in 2018/19.
Further details on the transfer is expected to be revealed shortly.
Nissan joins the quartet of German auto giants Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Porsche, Indian OEMs Jaguar Land Rover and Mahindra, as well as Chinese manufacturer NIO and France's DS Automobiles in the championship.
"As the ultimate expression of the thrill of instant acceleration and agile handling that's at the heart of Nissan zero-emission driving, Nissan is going to electrify the Formula E championship," said Daniele Schillaci, executive vice president of global marketing and sales, zero-emission vehicles and battery business, and chairman of Nissan's management committee for Japan, Asia and Oceania.
"Nissan will be the first Japanese brand to enter this growing championship, bringing our long history of motorsports success to the Formula E grid.
The manufacturer has long since been rumored to be entering Formula E and first looked at the possibility in Season Two.
A long-held and self-imposed rule of Renault-Nissan alliance brands not directly competing against each other in major series, however, was believed to have been one of the sticking points of it not reaching fruition earlier.
Plans are understood to have been accelerated in recent months, with Nissan Global Motorsport Director Michael Carcamo having visited the Formula E paddock at the official pre-season test in Valencia.
Carcamo and his team will take over the slot currently occupied by the Renault e.dams squad. It remains to be seen if the e.dams outfit will be part of the plans, although its drivers Nicolas Prost and Sebastien Buemi are contracted until the end of Season Five.
E-racing365 understands that some aspects of Renault's technology and also potential engineering support is likely to be utilized for Season Five, with Nissan acknowledging that it will "leverage expertise and development already available" in its alliance with the French manufacturer.
Nissan will compete as part of a global platform strategy to spread the message of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, the company's three-pillar modus operandi to illustrate how its vehicles are designed and powered for society at large.
The Nissan Leaf is the world's best-selling electric car, with more than 280,000 units sold since its launch in 2010, adding up to 3.5 billion zero-emission kilometers combined.
A NISMO version of the model is set to be unveiled a the Tokyo Motor Show this week.
Nissan is competing with Tesla's Model 3 and GM's Bolt in the global EV market and aims to maintain its position as the global leader in electric car sales.
A significant marketing strategy around its Formula E program is likely to illustrate that, in its first international racing campaign since the ill-fated NISMO GT-R LM in 2015.
"To have a name like Nissan coming on board is a momentous day for the series," said Formula E founder and CEO Alejandro Agag.
"Not only is it great to welcome a new manufacturer to the Formula E family, it's great to see our first Japanese manufacturer entering the frame, showing truly how global the electric revolution is.
"Japan is a country at the forefront of new technologies with one of the biggest followings of Formula E.
The Renault-Nissan alliance is the sixth largest automaker in the world and its involvement in the burgeoning championship will be viewed as a key milestone in its development and progression.

Kate Considers Just About Everything: "Greater Love Hath No Man"
Easter is a special day. It celebrates the purist love known to man, the love of one human choosing to die for another. I know there's debate about whether the story of Jesus rising from the dead is true, but there is no debate that I can find about whether Jesus chose to die for us, in fact, there's much historical evidence to support this, so Jesus' choice is what I want to focus on in today's Easter blog.
Stories in books and movies celebrate the person who chooses to die for family, friends, or strangers. Why do we celebrate this? Because we all wish we would do the same thing, but we know deep down inside that we probably won't. Self-preservation is strong in most of us, but self-preservation is not held up as the human ideal; rather, it is often represented as cowardice, and we scorn the person who grabs the life preserver out of another's hands.
Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) and "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). But the important point isn't that Jesus said the words, it is that he lived them. He did lay down his life for us, not knowing for sure that he would rise from the dead, and he loved us, his neighbors, more than he loved himself.
I find it telling that Jesus did not ask us to do as he did and love our neighbors more than ourselves. Perhaps it is because he knew that that is too much to ask from us; perhaps Jesus knew we would have a difficult enough time loving our neighbors at all, so asking us to love them as much as ourselves was the task he presented us with, what he wanted us to strive for, because he knew it was the one we could achieve.
Long ago, perhaps forty years ago or so, a friend and I were discussing Jesus' words and whether they had any value if Jesus was not, in fact, the son of God. I'll never forget my friends words, "Sure they do because how Jesus taught us to live is the best way to live. The world doesn't run well at all when people put themselves before others." Ah, a light bulb moment.
And so simple too. If we were all willing to die for one another, and we were to love others, friend or foe, acquaintance or stranger, similar or wildly different, as much as we love ourselves, the world would be, quite simply, a heaven on earth because no one would strive to be more than, to have more than another.
And maybe that's what Jesus was telling us before he died for us. The secret to making our world a heaven is in our own actions. We act like Jesus, and we create a good world for everyone. We scorn his words, and we get the world we have today--war, poverty, greed, inequality, ugliness, despair, and hopelessness.
Easter reminds us of our potential. It's not too late to change our ways; the choice is always ours. We just have to make the choice.

View from the airport: Commvault GO 2019
Despite a rocky year, fresh ideas and vision gives Commvault a second lease of life in Colorado
Data and backup specialist Commvault devoted a large part of its annual GO conference redefining itself in the eyes of its partners and customers. Inevitably, there was a lot of buzz about what this 'new Commvault' actually meant.
The first and most obvious part of that mission was the company's subtle rebrand, something it clearly hoped would serve as the signifier of a new chapter, and a move away from the recent stagnancy into which it had slipped. With slight changes to the colours and typeface - it improves the aesthetic somewhat. I have to say, though, it was a little underwhelming.
The second, more important aspect, was to use the event to address the growing unease among customers and partners. Our discussions with partners, by and large, suggest this was a moderate success, and there was certainly a sense of energy lacking in Nashville last year, beyond that emanating from the music scene.
Commvault launches 'Metallic' SaaS backup suite
How to enhance your backup strategy
Picking the perfect business backup
This excitement was perhaps encapsulated most by the launch of Metallic, a standalone software as a service (SaaS) venture that pointedly departs from the Commvault brand and forges its own identity. I wasn't the only one confused as to why Metallic wasn't released under the wider product umbrella. The rationale was that it grew from within the company like a startup, with its own dedicated team, and that certainly adds up. Yet, reading between the lines, it's clear the firm recognises it has work to do in addressing a set of issues tied to the Commvault identity.
Connotations that its technology is hard to use, that pricing is too high and confusing, and that Commvault itself is something of a throwback compared to the new kids on the block, are - as one partner put it - three fairly "crippling" attributes. This isn't to say Commvault hasn't moved to address these, with Mirchandani stressing numerous times the 'complexity' notion is a "myth" that he's now striving to bust, given recent changes to the platform.
The firm as a whole must now face the reality of the hand it's been dealt. It's good, then, that we saw evidence of a strategy that could pave the way for a change in its fortunes. Recent changes to its channel programme, and new hires in the form of industry veterans Mercer Rowe and Edison Peres, should go some way towards addressing the barriers resellers face.
The new venture, Metallic, of course, smacks of a gimmick, but it actually addresses a gap in the market, and seemingly trumps alternative SaaS backup options. Its distribution, too, will be entirely channel-led, starting with select US partners, with successes fed back into Commvault's existing programme.
Moreover, the broader idea to integrate data management with storage management was the real cornerstone of Mirchandani's long-term vision. Following the Hedvig acquisition last month, Commvault laid out its ideas for the future, but we'll have to reserve judgement on this front until a solid model for integration is released.
Broadly speaking, these sorts of ideas and announcements were what I expected to see from Commvault after a shaky 12 months; something shiny to get the conversation going, but reinforced with a sense of substance that partners, who deal with the technology day-in and day-out, can shout about too.
Recognising the realities of an increasingly multi-cloud landscape was reassuring, as was Mirchandani's statement that Commvault is happy to work with existing Hedvig customers who use rival backup services, such as those offered by Veeam. It must be said that there's a risk that Commvault's confidence, as it follows through on its strategy, may again slip into a familiar sense of complacency.
Persistent repetition, for instance, that Commvault sat at the pinnacle of the Gartner magic quadrant, as well as Forrester's equivalent, grew fairly tedious. After all, Commvault's standard of technology has never been a problem, rather, it's the many elements that coalesce around it.
