An independent, market-leading property consultancy based in North London. They are also now multi-award winning agents and have been voted as the 7th best estate agent in the UK by the Best Estate Agency Guide 2019.
D&D's branding needed a refresh and they wanted us to pull their marketing into the 21st Century. They wanted to find their voice, inject life into how they communicated with their customers and completely rebuild their website (which was slow, clunky and old fashioned).
D&D believe it's their job to make their customer's lives easier, give back to their local community and lead by example in order to create meaningful change in an industry plagued by poor practices and negative perceptions. No mean feat. D&D wanted to highlight their progressive yet warm hearted approach to estate agency, coupled with their longstanding local heritage, within their brand identity and marketing output.
In response, we rebuilt the D&D brand to create a humanised identity with tonnes of personality. The business was established in 1927, so we adapted traditional Art Deco design practices to produce their brand illustration and lettering. We then added modernised brand fonts and a bold colour palette. The brand voice and aesthetics were somewhat clichéd and we wanted to knock down some of the preconceived notions about estate agency, whilst playing upon these stereotypes and poking fun at the notorious reputation of the industry. So we developed a new brand language that uses a deliberately friendly and witty tone-of-voice and created humorous slogans, puns and fun artwork that clearly separates D&D from their competitors. Their new website is a thing of beauty, with a heavy focus on bespoke imagery, user experience and the client journey (click here to view it). We also deliver bespoke property photography, videography, property descriptions and handle all marketing campaigns and brand strategy for D&D.
Their brand positioning is now smarter and fresher. We've created and overseen strategies to help them increase their market share, improve brand recall and retain clients. They're now a market-leading agent and were voted as the 7th best estate agent in the UK by the Best Estate Agents Guide. Moreover, our relationship with D&D has become pretty serious (they basically put a ring on it) and we're proud to say that we've become their brand and marketing partner.

Q: Unable to save auditing changes. Access denied I would like to change auditing settings for a process. But, when I am getting the following error.. (even when run from the Administrator account).

What could be the reason and how to solve it.

A: What could be the reason and how to solve it.
It's an Anti Virus program. They are usually heavily protected even from the Administrator account.
In this case it is run by the SYSTEM account.

avwebg7.exe runs as a background Windows service called 'AntiVirWebService' (Avira Web Protection).
This service runs as the SYSTEM account with extensive privileges on the local computer, and acts as the computer on the network. Avira Web Protection runs as a program that can be started by the Service Controller and that obeys the service control protocol.

Source What is avwebg7.exe?

Is there any way to know, when the process starts or ends?
You can enable "Process Tracking Events" in the Windows Security Event Log.
See my answer How to identify terminated Windows process if I still have its PID? for instructions on how to do this.

Google Apps earns ISO 27001 certification
Google has announced that its Google Apps for Business productivity suite has earned the ISO 27001 certification.
"ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized, internationally accepted independent security standards and we have earned it for the systems, technology, processes and data centers serving Google Apps for Business," shared Eran Feigenbaum, Director of Security, Google Enterprise.
Google's auditor in this case was Ernst & Young CertifyPoint, an ISO certification body accredited by the Dutch Accreditation Council and a member of the International Accreditation Forum.
"This new certification, along with our existing SSAE 16 / ISAE 3402 audits and FISMA certification for Google Apps for Government, help assure our customers that Google is committed to ongoing development and maintenance of a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) that an independent, third-party auditor will regularly audit and certify," Feigenbaum pointed out.
"ISO 27001 is certainly a big step for Google – complying with this standard is very important for any high growth technology company since in most cases such growth causes weaknesses due to unstructured approach to security. ISO 27001 helps companies systematically resolve most of the information security issues – recognizing what are the biggest threats and then defining precisely how to resolve those threats and who is responsible for doing it," Dejan Kosutic, founder of Information Security & Business Continuity Academy, commented for Help Net Security.
"Having ISO 27001 certificate doesn't guarantee Google is 100% secure, though. For example, Amazon had ISO 27001 certificate for it's AWS, yet in April 2011 it experienced a very well-known outage that had a negative impact on several of their clients, including Reddit, HootSuite, Quora, and Foursquare."
"Nevertheless, this is a very positive step for Google that perhaps won't eliminate all the security issues completely, but will drastically decrease their weaknesses and therefore number of incidents. And that is something users of their services are certainly looking forward."

1989 Jaguar XJS V12 Convertible
Current owner 16 years; smart interior; good hood; rust-free; sensible mileage; ready for long distance touring
Launched way back in 1975 to replace the ageing E-Type, the Jaguar XJS Coupe was largely designed by Jaguar's legendary aerodynamicist, Malcolm Sayer. Low, lithe and elegant, it slipped through the air far more efficiently than the E-Type and was a paragon of stability and silence at speed. Based on a shortened XJ saloon floorpan, it weighed over 100kg less than an XJ12 and in early manual form could sprint to 60 in 6.7 seconds and hit 153mph. In 1981 the XJS received the new HE (High Efficiency) engine with Michael May-designed Fireball heads which improved fuel economy by 20 per cent and upped the top speed to 155mph, making it the fastest automatic car in the world. The long-awaited full convertible version of the Jaguar XJS was finally introduced at the 1988 Geneva Motor Show, a full 13 years after the coupe had been launched. Thoroughly re-engineered to compensate for the lack of a tin-top, it featured a reinforced floorpan, frameless doors and sophisticated electric hood complete with heated glass rear window. Underpinned by the same all round independent coil-sprung suspension and power assisted rack and pinion steering as its fixed head siblings, the soft-top came with anti-lock brakes as standard. Despite the hefty price tag of £40,000 a waiting list was quick to form. Dating from January 1989, this XJS Convertible has had five owners from new, our vendor acquiring it in May 2004 to join a collection of classic cars. Always kept garaged and only lightly used during his 16-year ownership, old MOTs show that it has covered just 3,200 miles during this period, the odometer currently showing 97,600 miles which is nothing for this unstressed V12. Although there is precious little history with the car, there are invoices for new rear brake calipers and pads (including handbrake) in July this year and a new battery in April 2019. The bodywork appears very straight and sound with good paint and no rust anywhere, the underside appearing equally clean and solid. The chromework is also very presentable and the magnolia leather interior is particularly good, as is the electric soft top which works as it should. In fact three months before the vendor acquired the car it had been vandalised which led to it being declared a Cat D insurance loss but the damage was only cosmetic (hood slashed; seats slashed; steering lock broken) with no damage whatsoever to the structure of the car and all was quickly put right. Starting instantly and running beautifully as we moved it around for these photos, it has an MOT until July 2021 with just a couple of minor advisories for slight play in both front wheel bearings and 'wipers don't cancel'.

My earliest memory of reading is when I was around six years old in my hometown of Scarborough, Maine. Without thinking about the time my father and I stayed up till late at night - me in my bed reading a fantasy novel aloud while my father sat at the side helping with any tricky words I stumbled on. I never wanted to go to sleep until I found out what happened next. My passion for turning the page till I know the whole story has continued throughout my life. From reading at the back of science class in high school to reading for a few precious minutes on my morning commute to work to walking through the streets of London listening to the audio book of Virginia Woolf's The Waves. I created this blog to record my thoughts about what I'm reading as a way to remember what I've read (this gets harder the older I get), think more critically about what I do read and open up communication with other other readers.
I've also done a fair amount of writing of my own publishing under my full name Eric Karl Anderson (since my first and surname are so common and dull). My novel ENOUGH won the Pearl Street Publishing First Book Award and I've had stories published in many journals and anthologies. You can read my story 'Making Tea in the Dark' which was published online here in The Wells Street Journal.
I work in online marketing full time. On weekends I work as a masseur. I also like baking muffins and watching disaster movies.


Neighborhood plays a significant role in maintaining healthy heart.
A study on 5,300 adults was conducted to check the link.
Almost 2 in every 100 people suffered from heart attack during study.
Your neighborhood has a significant effect on your mental well-being. But, did you know that your neighborhood also plays a role in the health of your heart. A study has suggested that people who feel that they are a part of the neighborhood are less likely to suffer from a heart attack than those who do not feel themselves to be part of the community. These findings indicate how we feel about the area we live in has an impact on our health.
As many as 1,75,000 heart attacks take place in the UK each year which means one in every three minutes. The things which increase the risk of having a heart attack are called ``risk factors'' by the doctors. Risk factors like smoking or suffering from high blood pressure can be treated in order to reduce the risk of heart attack. However, other risk factors besides these can be difficult to change or control. Like, a person who belongs to the lower strata of the society is at a higher risk of having a heart attack than a person who belongs to the higher income group. The income of a person will also have an effect on the area in which they can afford to live in. There have been some studies which suggest that the area where a person lives might be linked to certain aspects of their health which includes their chances of having a heart attack. However, the ways in which a person's neighborhood affects their chances of having a heart attack is yet to be understood.
During this study, the researchers in US checked whether there is a link between how a person feels about their neighborhood and their likeliness of having a heart attack. The researchers observed specifically whether people who felt a part of their local community were less likely to have a heart attack.
Did they feel they were a 'part' of the area?
Were there people in the area they could rely on?
Did they trust the people in their area?
Were most people in the area friendly?
The answers to these questions helped the researchers to work out an average score for how strongly the participants felt connected with their neighborhood. The researchers then checked during this 4 year-long study that if this feeling had a link with people having a heart attack.
The results of the research have shown that almost 2 in every 100 people had a heart attack during the study and people who lived with a strong feeling of being a part of their respective community or being connected to the neighbours were at a very low risk of having a heart attack.

Q: How to find which channels are supported by my wifi card? How do I find out which channels (1-13) of my wireless router are supported by the wireless card in my notebook?
For example, if I choose channel 13 in my router and my wifi card could not detect the wireless network. When I choose channel 6, it can be detected. So, I am interested to know more about the capabilities of my wifi card.

A: You can use
 iw phy

both on your laptop and on your router to find out which channels are supported by your wifi cards.
It will also show you the frequency of each channel, which channel is on what band and a lot more informations

A: The 'best' way to find out which channels are supported is to look in the manual. However your card and your wireless router probably support 14 channels. This allows manufacturers to use the same hardware all over the world.
Not all of those channels (or rather: frequencies) are legal in all countries.
For this reason many drivers refuse to set or work with a channel when it detects the wrong locale settings.  This can be quite confusing because switching languages can suddenly cause your wireless card to fail. I know at least one set of drivers where this happens without any warning or explanation. (Now that was fun to debug).

Q: How do you determine an effect size where the variables have a maximum? I am reading a paper that looked at the change in test scores as a result of an intervention (pre-test versus post-test scores).  The tests determine the skill level of students, and can range from 0 to 100% for any individual student. They used a t-test to look at the change resulting from the intervention, and used Glass's delta to determine the effect size.  However, since the test scores had a maximum value (100%) and a large proportion of the pre-test obtained that maximum score (about 40% of the students), I suspect it violates the assumptions behind a t-test (result distributions don't seem to be normal). In particular, the students that got 100% in the pre-test can only go backwards in the post-test, irrespective of how much they learned and improved their skills during the intervention.
What is the appropriate statistical test to use for such experimental designs?
Also, the value of both Cohen's d and Glass's delta are their intuitive understanding to non-statistically educated people - you can say to your manager "this intervention improved the skills by an average of 20%".  Other effect size methods (e.g. r^2) result in blank stares, followed by long and sometimes futile explanations.  Does the method that you suggest have an intuitive understanding of how large the effect size is?  If not, would it be appropriate to cut the students that scored above a set score (e.g. 80%) from the analysis and subsequently state "students with poor skills (below 80% in the pre-test) improved by an average of 20%"?

A: You are right that the assumption of normality is not met, and therefore one should interpret a paired t-test with care.
Given that your data is continuous, but censored at 0 and 1 I would expect some kind of ordered logit or probit model (as described here) would solve your problem at least partly, but the problem is that the data is paired. Some suggestions for that (but not definitive answers) are given here.
If you can actually use such a model you can calculate marginal effects and use those as a measure of effect size. Marginal effects have a relatively straightforward interpretation.

A: You are right - a t-test in this situation certainly violates the normality assumption. The true effect will be underestimated, and the power to detect it should be reduced compared to correct models. Truncated regression solves the problem by assuming truncated Gaussian error distribution. I'm not sure if it can explicitly incorporate paired data - still, in my opinion, with so many truncations accounting for those could be more important than accounting for the paired study design.


For a number of years I waited for the school bus alone. I would make the long walk up the hill to the bus stop alone. If I was late, I was alone in being mortified that I would have to run to catch the bus in sight of all my peers. Once when I was playing around the large oak tree at the bus stop, and happened to be on the back side of it, the bus passed right by. The driver did not know I was waiting, because I was waiting alone. Then one year I had a friend at the bus stop. My younger sister rode the bus with me and we got to wait together. We talked on the way up the hill, we played little games and raced to see who could make it to the bus stop first. We made jokes about the pedestrians, cars and a backhoe that routinely passed by. It was fun to wait together.
The Church is also a place where we can wait together. Much of our lives is spent in waiting, and this is by God's design. Lamentations 3:25-26 says "The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord." Although God uses waiting to teach his children, nowhere does He say we have to wait alone. God's people are to encourage one another (Hebrews 10:25), bear each other's burdens (Galatians 6:2) and offer hospitality to one another (I Peter 4:9). God is not expecting us to do these things only if and when we get our act together. If you struggle with depression, you are still called to encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ. If you juggle three kids and a full time job God wants you to help bear the burdens of your fellow believers. If you live with your parents God still expects you to offer hospitality without grumbling.
Because so much of life is made up of waiting, God has not left us alone. He has given us the Holy Spirit, who ministers to us both directly and through others in the Church. Therefore we are able to wait for God to provide you a job, together. We can wait for healing from cancer together. We can wait for our kids to sleep through the night together. We can wait for a spouse together. We can wait for your acne to clear up together. We can wait for your credit to be rebuilt together. We can wait for deliverance from anxiety together. And together we can wait for justice in this world. By God yes, we will wait for that.
We so deeply desire everything to be settled in this life, but these roadblocks, these annoyances and tragedies can be the very means God is using to wean us from sin, to knit our lives together and to redirect our gaze from earth to heaven.
I know that if my sister had been there when I was behind that tree, I would not have missed the bus. May none of us miss out on eternity because we tried to go it alone through this waiting that we call life. Waiting alone is hard. Let's wait together.

Elon Musk VS Apple! What is the rift between Tech giants?
By Harsh Soni
Since Musk took over, Twitter has been in a state of upheaval for weeks. One of Twitter's biggest issues right now may be the advertisers apparently leaving the network, given that important staff members have been dismissed, banned accounts have returned, and many other features of the platform are about to alter. Apple appears to be the most recent of them, and Musk has not been pleased.
Musk has accused Apple of not supporting free speech, charging developers a "hidden" 30% tax on the Apple Store, and more in a series of tweets over the previous several days. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX previously made a suggestion that if Apple and Google decide to shut down Twitter, he will build his own phone.
Simply said, the new method of content control on the popular microblogging site is the cause of many advertisers leaving it. Accounts that were previously suspended for violating Twitter's rules have now returned thanks to Musk's adamant support for free speech. Musk has suggested that Twitter will create a new content moderation council that will oversee this, though any new methods of determining what is and isn't prohibited on Twitter have not yet been finalized. According to reports, both activists and advertisers have stopped placing ads on the platform because this isn't enough.
Musk began tweeting about Apple withdrawing its advertising off the platform earlier this week in the thick of the commotion. Apple has largely stopped running Twitter ads. Is free speech in America despised by them? Musk tweeted a question and included CEO Tim Cook in a later tweet in the exchange. Following that, Musk tweeted about Apple's 30% tax on paid apps and in-app purchases on the App Store and claimed that the tech giant had threatened to remove Twitter from the App Store without cause.
Musk allegedly said he was going to war with the company in a deleted tweet, according to another report. Musk has also urged Apple to publish all censorship measures it has taken that have affected its customers in a further tweet. The poll in the tweet has received more than 80% "Yes" votes.

The Waterfall method for project management is the most natural process to complete projects in a design office. Each step (Planning, Design, Development, Release) relies on the previous step and is run through like an assembly line. It's easy to use and manage, easy to estimate and schedule on a gantt chart.
But Waterfall comes with disadvantages built in that make it hard to adapt to changes in the project. And the longer a project takes, the more changes become necessary, pushing the release back even farther (and increasing the budget)! Waterfall relies on meticulous planning of the project scope up front to avoid these changes. But it's near impossible to predict what the project requirements will be at the end of a long term project.
Agile was developed to take advantage of the "Kaizen" manufacturing processes popularized in the 90s which focus on flexibility, continuous improvement, and speed. Building on the Kaizen philosophy, the 12 core principles of Agile were released as a "manifesto" for software development companies. Agile methodologies all focus on the needs of the end user, face to face communication in the team, constant collaboration with the client, and fast releases.
There are dozens of methodologies relating to Agile philosophies into a production environment. Scrum, Kanban, Crystal, Spiral, Extreme Programming and Lean to name a few. These methods can be used all at once with little overlap, as they each address a different part of the Agile process, but are best applied piecemeal to find the methods that best fit your industry requirements and office culture. And over time if one method doesn't work the Agile/Kaizen philosophy demands it gets removed, improved and replaced as quickly as possible.
While the developers of Agile and many of its methodologies are generally software developers, the principals have been applied to law, PR, finance, healthcare and many more industries. For the design office we can adapt parts of two of the most popular methods: Scrum and Kanban.
Scrum adheres closely to the Agile philosophy by breaking the overall process of a project into much smaller cycles called Sprints. Each Sprint contains the entire process you would have in a Waterfall applied to individual features. Each feature is planned, built, revised, finalized and released one by one. All the while collaborating with the client's needs on the one specific feature in the Sprint. This quickly builds high quality reliable results.
At the beginning of each Sprint, a User Story from the Product Backlog is chosen and broken down into smaller individual tasks that are necessary to complete the feature. These tasks are then prioritized, and given a budget of hours based on the complexity of the task before they're added to the Sprint Backlog.
Then over the course of the Sprint (usually 2-4 weeks), the team will complete each task in the Sprint Backlog while collaborating with the client and project manager. Daily stand-up meetings with the team (15 minutes max) keep the team on track, and let project manager know if there are any obstacles the team has keeping them from completing a task.
The end of a Sprint should produce a focused, vetted, high quality piece of the overall project - ready for release.
Kanban is Japanese for "visual sign" or "card." It's basically a method for tracking workload on a board for the team to work on together. A traditional board has three simple columns: to do, in progress and complete. The in-progress column of the board represents the maximum amount of work the team is capable of juggling at once, and nothing can be moved into that column if there is no space.
Kanban's simple visualization can be overlaid on any kind of existing workflow. The board makes it clear to the team which tasks are up for grabs at all times. You can color code each card in the columns to assign specific departments, designers, or related feature. The emphasis on small incremental changes in Kanban makes it a perfect companion to the Scrum process.
Visualizing the Scrum process on a Kanban board is pretty straightforward. The Project Backlog and Sprint Backlog are subcategories of the to-do column. When a task is pulled from the Sprint Backlog it's moved to an available space in the in-progress column, which also includes review/revise/test subcategories. And the complete column contains all of the tasks that need to be reviewed (and billed) at the end of a Sprint. The board helps to facilitate the daily stand-ups to check on a Sprint's progress, the team's productivity, and clear up any bottlenecks in the process.
For a design office, two additional columns can be added to the board to clear up a task's status, and help the project manager focus on problem areas: delayed and dropped. Tasks may be delayed for any number of reasons, and will often get pushed back into the next Sprint. And as a project's requirements evolve, it's likely that some tasks will become obsolete. Keeping track of the abandoned tasks will help clear up the active workload, and help the project manager make adjustments to the billable time.
At the beginning of a project the client, understandably, wants to know how long it will take and how much it will cost. But isn't an Agile process constantly changing? How can you give an accurate estimate without a specific scope?
Technically, you can't give a highly accurate estimate or timeline in an Agile environment. Though historically, you can't do this with a Waterfall environment either, you only pretend you can. Agile embraces the reality of a project's process, and from the very beginning makes it clear to your client that it will change, and always for the benefit of the project. Those changes will be clearly marked on the Kanban board as out-of-scope tasks are added, and obsolete tasks are dropped. While constant collaboration and short Sprints negate the sticker shock that inevitably happens at the end of a Waterfall project.
An agile estimate at the beginning of a project is no different than a Waterfall estimate. Each requirement in the scope is given a time estimate that is multiplied by the hourly rate. There's an Agile technique for creating a time estimate in such a way as to maintain flexibility. Once the project's scope is broken down into the Project Backlog, each User Story is given a Story Point value (1-100) that represents the total amount of the team's engagement capability needed to complete that requirement (use this point value to estimate hours available for each task in a sprint). Generate the timeline (and total cost hourly) based on the team's engagement. These Story Points may fluctuate in estimates while teams get used to using Agile, but will stabilize over time.
Because Agile was originally conceived in a software development environment, these techniques naturally apply to interactive design projects without much changed. Marketing, SEO and Social Media projects can also easily be adapted to an Agile method because they include specific tasks, and their need for constant change/quick delivery.
Branding and print projects may be a challenge for an Agile environment, because it's more difficult to turn around a final release-ready part of the project after a short Sprint. In these cases, a project can still be broken down into smaller tasks but the output will necessarily be iterative instead of final.

Timidina cinasa es una enzima que pertenece al grupo de las fosfotransferasas. Se encuentra en la mayor parte de las células vivas y en algunos virus. Las células de mamífero presentan 2 variedades de esta enzima que se conocen abreviadamente como TK1 y TK2.

Función
Timidina cinasa cataliza la siguiente reacción de fosforilación:

    Thd + ATP → TMP + ADP

Donde Thd es desoxitimidina, ATP es adenosin trifosfato, TMP es desoxitimidina 5'-fosfato y ADP es adenosin difosfato.

La timidina cinasa tienen una función muy importante para la síntesis de ADN y la división celular, haciendo posible la introducción de desoxitimidina en la cadena de ADN.

La deficiencia genética de la enzima provoca una rara enfermedad congénita de la que existen muy pocos casos descritos a nivel mundial, se conoce como miopatía mitocondrial por déficit de timidina cinasa 2 o TK2 y provoca debilidad muscular progresiva.

Miopatía mitocondrial por déficit de timidina cinasa 2
Los síntomas de la enfermedad se inician habitualmente en la primera infancia. Los niños afectados se desarrollan con aparente normalidad hasta que se inicia un proceso de debilidad muscular progresiva con pérdida de capacidades motoras, incluyendo dificultad para andar, masticar, comer y hablar. En algunos casos se afecta la capacidad de movimiento en los ojos, produciéndose también caída del párpado que dificulta la visión. Cuando la enfermedad afecta a los músculos que controlan el proceso de la respiración, tiene lugar insuficiencia respiratoria que requiere en algunos casos ventilación mecánica y es una de las causas principales de muerte en los pacientes afectados.

Princess Beatrice's breakup plot
8 Aug, 2016 4:00pm

By: Catherine Ostler
She's split from her boyfriend of 10 years. But, like Kate and Wills before them, friends suspect it's only temporary
No doubt this wasn't how she'd planned to celebrate her 28th birthday. After ten years, countless parties, several superyachts and one move across the Atlantic, Princess Beatrice has split from her affable American boyfriend, Dave Clark, the beau who long seemed set to be her husband.
It has emerged that the pair agreed to break up last month, despite going on holiday together on a yacht in Monaco as recently as the end of June.
The news comes as a shock to many of their friends and family, who were quietly awaiting an engagement announcement. There had been talk in recent weeks of Beatrice issuing Dave with an ultimatum - they've been dating for ten years, just as long as the Duchess of Cambridge was seeing Prince William before they married - but sources close to the Yorks yesterday stressed that is not the case and that the split had been brewing for some while.

"This was a conversation about where they were heading after ten years and they both agreed to go their separate ways for a while to try to work out what they want," said one source close to the family.
"I think it might be a William and Kate-type split [the couple split briefly in 2007] - I wouldn't be surprised if they got back together. They are both open to that. As we all know, there are several types of split, and this is of the most amicable kind, with no one else involved. It's just they felt it was decision time.
"Her family are very supportive of both of them, very fond of him and very open-minded about them getting back together. She is staying in the US and not coming back here. They are both terribly upset at the moment."
Without revealing who exactly prompted the break-up, the friend said: "They are two people who met quite young and have dated for a long time, and want to think hard about what they would like to happen."
Another friend of the family worded it thus: "Any prospect of an engagement had long passed its sell-by date, though a split can shift that feeling. So she is a footloose singleton once more - not a status she is relishing, despite the shedloads of party invitations."
Beatrice was introduced to Dave when she was 18 by her cousin, Prince William, at a party in 2006, hosted by Sean Brosnan, son of movie star Pierce.
William and Dave had become friends while studying at universities in Scotland - William at St Andrews and Dave at Edinburgh.
How Princess Diana's affair unfolded
• Princess Beatrice and Dave Clark call it quits after 10 years
• The battle for Prince George
Six years her senior, Dave is the son of multi-millionaire American lawyer Michael Clark, former chief legal counsel at Cadbury Schweppes, and his wife Carol. Dave has dual U.S. and British nationality and has spent much time in England.
His family moved to London when he was five and set up home in a £5 million pile in Hampstead.
After school, he returned to the States to attend preppy Bowdoin College in Maine, and spent a year at Edinburgh as part of his course.
A year or so later, he had his first proper job - in London, working for Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's ill-fated attempt to open up space travel to the super-rich.
Dave was head of Astronaut Relations there for more than nine years and, in 2015, left to work for Uber, the controversial smartphone taxi network, where he is senior adviser to the CEO and head of external affairs.
Throughout Beatrice's time at Goldsmiths, University of London, they had been all but inseparable.
He was always at her side at Wimbledon, at Ascot, at parties, at film premieres, on holidays all over the world and with her parents at the ski chalet in Verbier.
His role at Uber saw Beatrice leave London last year and move to New York to be with him. Some who knew the Yorks have speculated Beatrice's parents, notorious freebie hunters Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, would have preferred her to marry into a bit more money than Dave.
But others say this is patently not the case: "Of course, Beatrice is a Princess - Dave would feel the need to be successful to marry her. But Dave is from a very well-off background, anyway.
"Jack Brooksbank, Eugenie's boyfriend, isn't a high earner and is still establishing himself. Her parents don't mind at all."
Indeed, Fergie is said to be very upset by the split and had come to view Dave as a son.
Yet their path hasn't always been smooth.
In spite of having made the initial introduction, William had cooled his friendship with Dave, seeing him as "indiscreet", to the extent that he didn't ask him to his wedding in 2011 - a decision that hurt Beatrice very much.
Still, his exuberant personality, in contrast to the privacy-obsessed Royals, was something Fergie in particular relished. 'She adored him,' says one source. However, Dave and Beatrice's lifestyle, enviable as it looked, brought its own problems, too.
In the past couple of years, Beatrice had taken the flak for having gone on 18 holidays in less than two years.
Some close to the Royals felt Dave couldn't resist a good invitation, and Bea, the less confident of the pair, couldn't say no to going with him. The problem with dating a royal, as Kate knows, is there is always the suspicion of social climbing among some of their circle.
So when it became obvious that Dave relished the high life, with Beatrice at his side, some eyebrows were raised.
Others say this was grossly unfair: "Tech companies love their employees to be well-connected and at both Virgin - where he had to persuade celebrities to buy tickets into space for publicity reasons - and Uber, as external relations, Clark needs to network."
But that has had its own repercussions. It emerged last week that Beatrice had left her full-time job at Sandbridge Capital, an elite New York finance house, in order to set up some kind of consultancy backed by them.
It was her fourth job in five years, leading to accusations of her being workshy.
The first suspicions that all wasn't well with Bea's job came earlier this year when, rather than toiling away in Sandbridge's offices on the 23rd floor of the Trump Tower on New York's 5th Avenue, the Princess spent six weeks in the UK.
She was nominally here to attend her grandmother's birthday celebrations, but crammed in plenty of other fun, too.
In May, she attended the wedding of Lord Lovat to Petra Palumbo, her godfather's daughter, as well as the Chelsea Flower Show, a Mayfair fancy dress party and a concert at Windsor for her grandmother. But friends insist that the portrayal of her as someone who prefers deck life to desk life has been unfair.
"Like any girl her age, she's still working things out," said one. 'It's just that she has to do it in public. The idea that she's lazy is simply not true. She wants to work in finance and luxury brands."
Indeed, her academic career was notable for diligence. Head girl of her school, St George's Ascot, she battled dyslexia, yet passed her A-levels with an A and two Bs before going on to get a 2:1 degree in history and the history of ideas from Goldsmiths.
"After all, she does plenty of charity work - with the English National Ballet, Forget Me Not Children's Hospice, the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre, the Teenage Cancer Trust and others. She is a good-natured, kind person."
Whether, in due course, her ex-boyfriend will look back and realise how much he's missing and rekindle their relationship remains to be seen.

A Story about how helping others lifts your spirits.
Donnie Dog and Prant Pup were next-door neighbors. They spent their days playing outdoors and exploring. Often, they chased the AbdusSobur's cat or cornered squirrels high in the big baobab trees that separated their yards.
Donnie wasn't sure about helping, but when he saw Prant loping toward the house, he followed.
Luckily, they arrived in time to grab the table leg that had collapsed onto Bonnie using Prant's sharp teeth and Donnie's strength. They quickly pulled the table off Bonnie and her pups. "Are you okay?" Prant asked.
"Oh, Donnie and Prant, you saved us! My puppies and I would have been crushed if you two hadn't shown up. How will I ever thank you?" Bonnie said, shaking all over as she licked her puppies lovingly.
"I'm so happy we were nearby," said Donnie, feeling he could conquer anything.
Donnie and Prant looked at each other, realizing they'd done something that really mattered. They felt great joy and confidence as they trotted back home to play.
Help others and your spirits will soar.
How do you feel after you extend a helping hand to others?

How to Write a Letter Congratulating Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the Birth of Their Son
You just might get a note back!
By Caroline Hallemann
To say that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had a busy year is quite the understatement. Just five months after their tradition-breaking royal wedding in May, the couple shared that they were expecting their first child. And this morning, the Duchess of Sussex gave birth to their son.
The happy couple shared the news on social media this morning. "It's a boy," reads an official announcement. "Their royal highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed to announce the birth of their child."
Both mother and baby are reportedly in good health following the delivery, and the little boy weighed in at 7 pounds 3 oz.
"The Duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives," reads the caption of the post.
We are pleased to announce that Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their firstborn child in the early morning on May 6th, 2019. Their Royal Highnesses' son weighs 7lbs. 3oz. The Duchess and baby are both healthy and well, and the couple thank members of the public for their shared excitement and support during this very special time in their lives. More details will be shared in the forthcoming days.
A post shared by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (@sussexroyal) on May 6, 2019 at 6:37am PDT
And while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex opted to share their happy news with the world on Instagram, you can still send the parents-to-be a letter of congratulations via snail mail. (Given Meghan's history as a calligrapher, and her penchant for handwritten notes, she might even prefer it that way.)
If you'd like to send them a letter or card, address it to:
TRH Duke & Duchess of Sussex
London SW1A 1BA
Harry and Meghan live at Kensington Palace in Nottingham Cottage, but their mailing address is actually at Clarence House, as that is where their correspondence is opened.
There are no guarantees, but Harry and Meghan have been known to send thank you notes to those who mail them greetings, so be sure to include a return address. Those who sent well wishes following the Sussex's wedding received a message back featuring a black-and-white portrait of the newlyweds.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been overwhelmed by all the incredibly kind cards and letters they have received on the occasion of their Wedding and are so touched that you took the trouble to write as you did," read the card. "It really was most thoughtful of you and greatly appreciated by The Royal Highness who send you their very best wishes."

Similar notes have recently been sent out to those who mailed birthday cards to Harry and Meghan, or notes congratulating the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the birth of their third child, Prince Louis. See a few examples of those below:

Our Sony Xperia Z3 vs Sony Xperia Z2 head-to-head specs comparison will help you find out just what has changed between these two generations of Xperia.
A wild Xperia Z2 survival story has just made the rounds, with the phone reportedly surviving six weeks under water and functioning just fine afterward.

Lyft is adding The Weather Channel to its growing list of third-party app integrations. You can now request a ride through the weather app, but initially only if you're using a Samsung device. This integration syncs your calendar with the forecasts based on where you are to help make an informed decision on how to get to your next appointment — if it's raining, you might want to use Lyft instead of walking, for example.
This partnership is through Samsung's "Made for Samsung Developer Program," which launched last year. The Weather Channel already has a tie-in with the phone maker with a special app exclusive to devices like the Galaxy S7 edge, S6 edge+, Note 5, and likely the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
Above: The Weather Channel will now let you request Lyft rides within its special Samsung app integration.
Lyft has enabled third-party ride requests since at least November, and the tie-in with The Weather Channel and Samsung is perhaps a creative one. While it might not be that exciting to have Lyft embedded into The Weather Channel's native app, the direct integration with the Samsung device is unique, opening up a more seamless connection with the operating system and the calendar.
When enabled, The Weather Channel app will not only tell you the day's weather, but also events you have scheduled. And should inclement weather be in the forecast, it will offer an option to request a Lyft. Tapping on the button will open up the Lyft app — so you'll need to have it installed. Sadly, it's not really a native integration.
Because this feature is currently available only to Samsung device owners, those on an iPhone or even any other Android device will not be able to take advantage of this. However, a Lyft spokesperson said that Samsung is just a start. Pairing with one of the world's largest Android phone makers gives the ride-hailing service greater reach, although it's unclear how many people are using The Weather Channel's existing service.
This is all about giving riders a choice. Some people might simply opt to look out the window and making a call as to whether they'll need Lyft. It's about providing the flexibility in how you want to manage your day.

Michael Card — Inexpressible
Michael Card & Nathan Foster on December 20, 2021
In this episode, Nathan talks with author and musician Michael Card about hesed, an untranslatable Hebrew word that expresses God's love and faithfulness. Michael believes it may be the most important word in Scripture and spent ten years writing a book to unpack its meaning.
[2:29] What would you tell your younger self?
[3:05] What is it that you care about these days?
[6:16] You wrote a book about one word. Tell us about the book.
[9:22] What does the word mean to you personally?
[10:31] How do you live into it?
[15:05] I'm noticing in your writings and in your music this love of Scripture. Where did that come from?
[18:31] What do you hope people take away from the book?
[22:25] How do you personally work with Scripture these days?

Law Cases > Tort Law Cases > Causation and Remoteness Cases
Jobling v Associated Dairies Ltd
[1982] AC 794
Judgement for the case Jobling v Associated Dairies Ltd
In 1973 P, who was expected to work until 1985 suffered an injury due to his employer's, D's, negligence which would reduce his capacity to work by 50% for the rest of his working life. Independently of this, in 1975, he contracted a disease that totally incapacitated him. Does D have to pay him 50% for 3 years or 50% for 12? HL say for 3 years, since "the myelopathy (totally incapacitating disease) could not be disregarded since the court must provide just and sufficient but not excessive compensation".
Lord Wilberforce: there are no overall rules that can govern this type of case that are universally fair and the best the courts can do is to assess just compensation on a case by case without rationalisation/exposition of universal guidelines/principles. Bad for legal certainty + inconsistency potential.
The "vicissitudes" argument was adopted by several judges: that the contingencies/vicissitudes of life can change a person's fortunes and it would be wrong to ignore them when arriving at a fair settlement: the courts "should not speculate when they know" (Lord E-D). Problem is that this fails to reconcile Jobling with Willoughby. The House of Lords criticised the ruling in Willoughby on the grounds that it did not comply with the vicissitudes principle- Lord Reid. The problem with the vicissitudes argument is that it prioritises "potential causes" over "actual causes". In this case half the disability was caused by the negligence and the rest completed by the disease. If the disease had struck first then it would have been the cause, but as it happens the negligence happened first and caused half the disability. The fact that another "concurrent cause" (to use the Willoughby language) operates to complete the disability does not change what the original cause was or the fact that it is still operating: The vicissitudes argument assumes that there is only ever one cause, which is incorrect.
Lord Keith said that he would reconcile Willoughby with the present case by saying that Willoughby was restricted to cases where there were two tortious acts, unlike the present case. Lords Bridge and E-D imply a desire to overrule Willoughby.

Government raises Assistance to Rural Poor for Housing
New Delhi: With an aim of helping rural poor to have their own affordable houses, Government on Thursday raised the amount of assistance from Rs 45,000 to Rs 70,000 for construction of a dwelling unit.
For hilly and other difficult areas, the grants for constructing houses under the Indira Awaas Yojna (IAY) has been increased from Rs 48,500 crore to Rs 75,000.
There will also be a provision now of loan up to Rs 20,000 - up from Rs 10,000 - with four per cent interest for buying land for the house.
Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the proposal of the Ministry of Rural Development to provide a quality and affordable house and increase the unit cost taking into account numerous requests from the stakeholders keeping in view the steep increase in cost of materials, Finance Minister P Chidambaram told a press conference here.
Rural Development Ministry's proposal was to hike in allocation of grants for construction of houses for BPL families under the IAY from Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000 per dwelling unit, but Finance Ministry reportedly fixed the amount at Rs 65,000.
The Ministry had also suggested that grants for constructing houses under the scheme should be increased from Rs 48,500 crore to Rs 80,000 for hilly and difficult areas.
"Cabinet has taken a middle path on the issue. There were differences in the proposals and amount suggested by our ministry and the Finance Ministry," Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh told reporters.
"This is a via media, Finance Ministry had wanted Rs 45,000 to Rs 65,000. We had wanted Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000. So Cabinet has taken a middle path. Finance Ministry had not agreed to doubling the amount to be given to the landless for buying land but Cabinet has agreed to that," he said. Ramesh said Finance Ministry had also not agreed to the Rural Development Ministry proposal for enhanced unit assistance to be provided for landless poor for buying a homestead site.
But the Union Cabinet "in its overall collective wisdom" decided to increase the amount from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 to "honour the agreement that was signed with the Ekta Parishad on October 11," he said.
"Enhancement of unit assistance provided for homestead site to rural Below Poverty Line (BPL) households who have neither agricultural land nor a house site for purchase or acquisition of a homestead site is from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000," the government statement said.
This was a major point in the agreement between Government of India and Jan Satyagraha movement led by Gandhian activist P V Rajagopal in October last year at Agra.
Chidambaram said banks are obliged to give loan up to Rs 20,000 at 4 percent interest.
This benefit has been availed of by only Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, he said, and requested others to follow suit.
"I request all the states to hand over the list of IAY beneficiaries to public sector banks so that they can avail of the loan," he said.

Iida (, -shi) ist eine Stadt im Süden der Präfektur Nagano auf der japanischen Hauptinsel Honshū. Iida ist die größte Stadt im Ina-Becken und damit auch gleichzeitig die größte Stadt im als nanshin bezeichneten Süden der Präfektur.

Geographie
Der Fluss Tenryū fließt durch die Stadt von Norden nach Süden.

Geschichte
Iida wurde als Burgstadt um 1195 von Kondō Kaneie gegründet. Die Burg wurde später von der Sakanishi-Familie genutzt, kam dann 1390 an die Ogasawara, die sie 1548 an die Takeda verloren. Oda Nobunaga gab die Burg 1582 an Mōri Hideyori, Toyotomi Hideyoshi dann 1592 an Kyogōku Takatomo. Unter den Tokugawa erhielten die Burg nacheinander 1601 wieder die Ogasawara, 1617 die Wakizaka und schließlich von 1672 bis 1868 die Hori mit einem Einkommen zuletzt von 17.000 Koku.

Bei der Einführung der vom preußischen Vorbild beeinflussten modernen Kommunalordnungen 1889 wurde Iida als kreisangehörige Stadt (-machi) im Kreis Shimo-Ina ("Unter-Ina") um Teile des Dorfes Kami-Iida ("Ober-Iida") erweitert. Die Kreisverwaltung von Unter-Ina war schon 1878/79 bei der endgültigen Teilung des Kreises Ina in Iida eingerichtet worden. Iida wurde mit dem Zusammenschluss der ehemaligen Gemeinden Iida und Kamiiida am 1. April 1937 als -shi kreisfrei. Das Stadtgebiet wuchs durch weitere Eingemeindungen aus dem Landkreis 1956, 1961, 1964, 1984, 1993 und 2005.

1947 verwüste der Großbrand von Iida (Iida taika) das Geschäftsviertel im Stadtzentrum und zerstörte rund 4000 Häuser.

Wirtschaft
Es werden Maulbeerbäume angepflanzt für die Seidenzucht. Agrarprodukte sind Birnen, Äpfel, getrocknetes Tofu (凍り豆腐, Kōri-dōfu). In den letzten Jahren sind Elektronik und Präzisionsinstrumente dazu gekommen.

Verkehr

Iida ist über die Chūō-Autobahn sowie über die Nationalstraßen 151, 152, 153, 256 und 418 erreichbar. Durch die Stadt führt die von JR Central betriebene Iida-Linie, unter anderem mit den Bahnhöfen Iida und Tenryūkyō. Geplant ist ein unterirdischer Bahnhof an der Magnetschwebebahn Chūō-Shinkansen, die im Jahr 2027 eröffnet werden soll.

Q: Calculate and compare elapsed time in MySQL I am working on a simple scheduler using MySQL, but something goes wrong with comparing calculated results in MySQL. I have looked at the documentation, googled it, and tried numerous variations without finding an answer, so here goes:
The scheduler table:
CREATE TABLE scheduler (
    schedule_id INT(11) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    service varchar(128),
    interval_in_minutes INT(11),
    last_run_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT 0 ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
);

This request works just as expected - it gives me the whole table, including a table where it has calculated the number of minutes that has elapsed since last run:
SELECT *, TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, last_run_at, NOW()) AS minutes_since_last_run FROM scheduler

I don't want all schedules out, but just the ones where the minutes_since_last_run are greater than the the interval_in_minutes, which is how long time should pass between runs. This is triggered every minute by a cron-job.
The request I try to make is this:
SELECT *, TIMESTAMPDIFF(MINUTE, last_run_at, NOW()) AS minutes_since_last_run
   FROM scheduler
   WHERE minutes_since_last_run > interval_in_minutes

This does not produce any results whatsoever. I have tried various variants, where I compare the calculated value to a hardcoded number, subtracted inside the second parameter of the TIMESTAMPDIFF function, and simply sorting by minutes_since_last_run, but it seems like the calculation is not available in the query. So my question is this:
How do I SELECT the rows where the number of minutes passed since the timestamp is greater than the value in the interval_in_minutes column ?


Bluetooth Micro Blimp: Turn a balloon into a phone-operated blimp.
The Bluetooth Micro Blimp transforms an ordinary balloon into a fully controllable airship that you pilot with your smartphone or iPad.
Your balloon dirigible will be powered by three propellers on a small gondola. The gondola attaches to the included mylar balloon with scotch tape and connects to your device via bluetooth. Use the free app to control the gondola's motors with twin virtual joysticks that allow you to maneuver around the room with ease.
With a little helium and some practice, you'll be able to steer your craft like you're flying over a football stadium.
Blimps don't just have to be for sporting events and retro-future visions of the city's morning commute. The Bluetooth Micro Blimp kit lets you make and pilot your own blimp right in your living room.
Instead of buying an entire RC ship with a controller, the Micro Blimp transforms an ordinary balloon into a propeller-powered aircraft you can fly with your phone. The clever design makes it easy to get your craft in the air where it belongs.
In this case, you can drive and be on your phone at the same time.
Getting your Bluetooth Micro Blimp off the ground doesn't require you to log flight hours or undergo an advanced build; all you need is a little scotch tape and helium.
To get started, fill the included mylar with helium through the one-way valve and attach the gondola using scotch tape. The kit includes washers and magnets as ballast to help the balloon achieve neutral buoyancy (where it neither sinks nor ascends). Once you attach the washers using scotch tape, adhere as many magnets as you need in order to stabilize your airship. Once it's neutral, you're ready to start flying!
The process is quick enough that you won't hesitate to replicate it whenever you feel like taking her up for a ride.
Next destination: the Super Bowl.
The gondola has three propellers: two on the side and one on the bottom, allowing for maximum maneuverability in the air. The gondola pairs with your smart device to control those propellers as you pilot your craft.
When your craft is running out of juice, give it a charge with a Micro-USB B cord to get back in the air.
Controlling that gondola is easy with the free iOS Micro Blimp app. The controls simulate a dual joystick controller, using your touchscreen to manipulate each joystick. There are two control modes (Tank and Twin Joystick) that are both customizable to fit your piloting preferences.
The app also includes a startup guide so you can get started right away.
Blimpin' ain't easy (except with these controls!).
Once you have your Micro Blimp up and running, it's up to you to decide how you want to have fun with it. Master your controls and test your precision piloting by setting up an obstacle course. Or have friends bring over their blimps for a good old-fashioned blimp race. Bluetooth technology allows you to have multiple blimps in the same room without losing control over your craft.
The Bluetooth Micro Blimp gondola comes in red, blue, or white. The color you receive will be chosen randomly, but all three colors are equally adept at creating hours of flying fun.
Question: If the balloon pops, do I have to buy a whole new set?
Answer: The gondola included with the Bluetooth Micro Blimp kit should work with any similarly sized mylar balloon.
Question: How do I inflate the balloon?
Answer: You'll need to supply your own helium to inflate the included balloon. If it's been several days since your last flight, you can use the balloon's one-way valve to top off the balloon with more helium.
Question: What if I lose those tiny washers and magnets?
Answer: The washers and magnets included with the Bluetooth Micro Blimp kit are used as ballasts to achieve neutral buoyancy. Any small object (such as coins) will work in their place.
Question: How do I charge my gondola?
Answer: The gondola charges with a Micro-USB B cord (which you'll need to supply yourself). Please note that this is a common cord that you may already have for your other electronic devices.
Sorry! We're sold out until May 01.
More stock arriving on May 01, 2019.

Navigating Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) as a parent can be stressful. These modules are designed to bring some peace of mind to the process. Each module presents real-life tools and answers to help your child thrive in special education. IEP Zen is your path to IEP enlightenment. Start on your path today!
It truly is remarkable how precious a peace of mind really is. These modules are designed to bring peace to the members of the IEP team–specifically, the special education teachers and the parents.
Awareness of our roles as parents in the IEP meeting is a big deal. What is our role as parents? Our child's advocate and a good teammate.
Keeping up with our child's special education goals and progress at home can take a lot of energy. Like all mental energy, it is a finite resource. If our parenting energy is depleted and we become buried in "just-keeping-up-parenting," meaningful growth is going to be difficult. Take some time to take some time for yourself.
