Henry Davis Sleeper (* 1878; † 1934) war ein US-amerikanischer Kunstsammler, Designer und Innenarchitekt.

Geboren in eine wohlhabende Bostoner Familie von Immobilienmaklern – sein Großvater Jacob Sleeper (1809–1889) war einer der drei Gründer der Boston University – wurde der kränkliche Sohn durch Hauslehrer ausgebildet, sein Interesse an Design und Kunstgeschichte wurde bereits früh entdeckt.

Das 1907 begonnene Sleeper-McCann House in Gloucester auf Cape Ann in Massachusetts war ursprünglich lediglich als Sommersitz geplant, doch erfolgten bis zum Tode des Hausherrn ständige Erweiterungen und Umbauten an dem auf einer Felskuppe oberhalb des Hafens gelegenen Gebäude. Die Entwürfe – welche von dem Architekten Halfdan M. Hanson umgesetzt wurden – und die Einrichtung stammten dabei von Sleeper selbst, der es sich zu seiner Lebensaufgabe gemacht hatte, Kulturgüter aus der Kolonialzeit und den Jahren des Unabhängigkeitskampfes zu sammeln und auszustellen. So glich das Sommerhaus schon zu Lebzeiten des Bauherren eher einem Museum.

Neben dem Sleeper-McCann House ist heute nur eine weitere Arbeit im Originalzustand erhalten: das Bratenahl House in Gloucester, für welches Sleeper den Entwurf für die Täfelung, die Möblierung und die Dekoration übernahm. Alle weiteren Arbeiten sind mittlerweile – teilweise erheblich – verändert:
 The Highlands (Fort Washington, Pennsylvania) – für Caroline Sinkler, heute als Museum zugänglich
 Thomas House (Middleburg, Virginia, 1912/5) – gemeinsam mit Halfdan M. Hanson und Henry C. Mercer
 Houndsmore Lodge / Morrill House (Gloucester, Massachusetts, 1920)
 Bruce E. Merriman House (Providence, Rhode Island, 1923)
 Mabel Yates Howe House (West Manchester, Massachusetts, 1924)
 F. Frazier Jelke House (Eagle's Nest, Newport, Rhode Island, 1924)
 Davenport House / Paul Hollister House (New Rochelle, New York, 1930)
 George F. Tyler House (Indian Council Rock, Newtown, Pennsylvania, 1932)
 Johnny Mack Brown House (Nine Gables, Hollywood, California, 1930)
 Frederic March House (Beverly Hills, California, 1934)

Henry Davis Sleeper war Mitglied der Kolonie 'Dabsville', einer Gesellschaft Intellektueller, die sich im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts in Gloucester unter den Besitzern von Cottages herausbildete.

Das American Institute of Architects ernannte ihn wenige Monate vor seinem Tod 1934 zu einem von bis heute nur sechs Ehrenmitgliedern.

Hue acts as an SSL client when communicating with Oozie, HBase and core Hadoop services. This means it may have to authenticate authenticate HDFS, MapReduce, and YARN daemons, as well as the HBase Thrift Server, and will need their certificates (or the relevant CA certificate) in its truststore.
You can create the Hue truststore by consolidating certificates of all SSL-enabled servers (or a single CA certificate chain) that Hue communicates with into one file. This will generally include certificates of all the HDFS, MapReduce and YARN daemons, and other SSL-enabled services such as Oozie..
The Hue truststore must be in PEM format whereas other services use JKS format by default. Hence, to populate the Hue truststore, you will need to extract the certificates from Hadoop's JKS keystores and convert them to PEM format. The following example assumes that hadoop-server.keystore contains the server certificate identified by alias foo-1.example.com and password example123.
Once you've done this for each host in the cluster, you can concatenate the PEM files into one PEM file that can serve as the Hue truststore.
Note: Ensure the final PEM truststore is deployed in a location that is accessible by the Hue service.
Open the Cloudera Manager Admin Console and navigate to the Hue service.
In the Search field, type Hue Service Environment to show the Hue Service Environment Advanced Configuration Snippet (Safety Valve) property (found under the Service-Wide > Advanced category).
Click the Value column to enable editing, and add the REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE property set to the path of the Hue truststore in PEM format.
Hue expects certificates and keys to be stored in PEM format. When managing certificates and keys for such services, using the openssl tool may be more convenient. To configure Hue to use HTTPS, you must generate a private key and a self-signed SSL certificate that does not require a passphrase.
Note: You must configure your browser to "trust" this self-signed Hue server certificate.
Ensure secure session cookies for Hue have been enabled in hue.ini under [desktop]>[[session]].
For more details on configuring Hue with SSL, see this blog post.
If you are not using Cloudera Manager, update the following properties in hue.ini under [desktop].
Perform the following steps in Cloudera Manager to enable SSL for the Hue web server.
In the Search field, type SSL to show the Hue SSL properties (found under the Hue Server Default Group category).
Edit the following SSL properties according to your cluster configuration.
Enable HTTPS Enable HTTPS for the Hue web server.
Local Path to SSL Certificate Path to the SSL certificate on the host running the Hue web server.
Local Path to SSL Private Key Path to the SSL private key on the host running the Hue web server. Hue only supports a key without a passphrase.

General comments that were initially started because you guys were talking about Selma "sleeping" with a DJ. You can't tell me that your comments don't also apply to her, direct or not.
Regardless, you (and Eric) still broke the rule that you were so gung ho about mods enforcing. It's like I said when we were talking about it back then - don't push an idea on everybody if you're not going to apply it to yourself, as well. Just sayin'.
Ugh holy fuck. I stopped caring YESTERDAY.
Yeah, you said that the last time all of this shit went down, too, and look what ended up happening.
She's a sociopath.
Not caring is so hard.
Jesus fucking christ enough already. What do you want me to say??? Fuck.
Bahahaha, nothing, relax. I was mostly kidding around with that one, I know you're pretty much done with it for now.
So yeah Funk D'Void in TO May 11th! Wooooo!!
I had a dream where I met a certain TA at a grocery store and then saw them again as they got into their car. I tapped on the window and they looked at me and I gave them the finger. Then I woke up.
Strange dream.
Also I had a crazy fucking dream about like a Target or Fred Meyer (but it mainly looked like a concrete loading dock in a prison) that had this amazingly huge concrete theater in it, like a planetarium and the ceiling was like 200ft high and there was crazy ass visuals going on inside of it. I was there with my friend and his kids too. Also I think Colonel Sanders was there. So fucking strange.
Then I had another dream where that one chick that I was obsessed with, I was at her parents house with my brother hanging out, and I guess we had ordered pizza, and when I woke up, normally I am bummed about those dreams for whatever reason, but this time I was solely bummed cause I haven't had pizza in like a month and I really wanted pizza.
Its like the three nights of nyquil drinking I had stored up dreams and I didn't take it last night and woah, so much randomness.

Thanks guys for the life long lesson!
A rule!? I asked for a rule to be enforced????? lol.
who the fuck has been posting from my account?

It's pretty damn clear that I was talking about Jenny there, dude.
Edit: If it's not, I said that both of you guys broke a rule that she (that's why I used the word "you" when talking to her) wanted. That's all.
haha no worries i guess any sentence with Vivid and Rule is just plain ludicrous to me :P
Anyways who cares its a message forum have fun, be merry. Selma and Hal isn't the first marriage people have attacked...just the first one people have gotten butthurt over. Need I remind us all of TorontoTranceAddict and freewilly? or Mr Mystery's big Mystery? I ripped apart these marriages and neither one has posted since. Nobody jumped in to be the voice of reason. Everyone just screamed for more blood.

Western Power has opened the South West Interconnected Network to around 900MW of new renewable energy projects through our final Generator Interim Access (GIA) offers being made this week.
The GIA solution was created in consultation with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and the Public Utilities Office, to help progress connections to the grid that would have been unviable under the current unconstrained network access arrangement.
Western Power Chief Executive Officer Guy Chalkley said that the GIA will address a significant hurdle to new generation projects wanting to connect to the grid and potentially add around 20% extra generation to the existing mix of generators already connected to the grid.
"Within the last five years, we haven't connected many large‐scale generators to the grid, mainly due to the high cost of augmentation required for new generators to achieve an unconstrained network connection," Mr Chalkley said.
"Now with the GIA, we have businesses being offered connection solutions that enable them to invest in the state energy market, with a number of those projects being 100MW-plus generators.
A total of eight connection offers have been made to generators who will operate under constrained conditions, meaning their 'normal' access to the network may be reduced by AEMO when another generator is competing for the network.
At the core of the GIA are computer systems that will monitor outputs of the GIA cohort and limit their outputs to ensure the safe operating limits of the network are not exceeded.

Michael Thomas 'Mike' Pinder (born 27 December 1941 to Bert and Gladys Pinder in Kingstanding, Birmingham, England) established himself as an important rock musician in his work with the Moody Blues during the height of their success. Besides his contributions to music, his second greatest contribution may have been technological- the introduction of the Mellotron to rock music.
As a young adult, Pinder put together a band called The Rockin' Tuxedo's which achieved some regional success. Later, Pinder and Thomas played together in a band called the Krew Cats. The band wound up in Germany playing at some of the cellars where The Beatles had polished their musicianship; however, the Krew Cats' fortunes were not so bright. By then, Pinder and Ray Thomas were completely broke, and they wound up walking across northern Europe to get back home to England.
Around this time, Pinder became employed by Streetly Electronics, a firm that manufactured the Mellotron. The Mellotron was a keyboard instrument that produced sound when each key pressed a magnetic tape head onto a short strip of magnetic tape. The tapes could be recorded with any desired sound, so a Mellotron could be configured to sound like a symphony orchestra, a full choir, or any other instrument or ensemble. In essence, the Mellotron was the first "sample-playback" synthesizer. The instrument was limited in many ways: the length of the tape meant that no note could be sustained for more than eight seconds, after which the tape had to rewind; the tapes had a characteristic attack (which, while not a natural sound, could be used to give the instrument a unique character); the complex mechanism made the instrument prone to mechanical failure.
Mike's experience with the Mellotron and Streetly Electronics led him to his music history changing innovation to add this sound to the arrangements of the Moody Blues and change Rock music forever.
Pinder was the first notable musician to use the Mellotron in live performance, relying on the mechanical skills garnered from his time with Streetly to keep the unreliable instrument in working order. An example of such which became an historic rock trivia moment happened during the Moodies' first American tour and performance. When the band struck its first harmony, the back of the Mellotron fell open and all of the tape strips cascaded out. Pinder grabbed his tool box and got the instrument back into working order in 20 minutes, while the light crew entertained the audience by projecting Bugs Bunny cartoons.
The Moody Blues took a break from recording in 1974 and Pinder relocated to California, releasing a solo album The Promise in 1976 through the Moodies' Threshold label. In 1977 the band returned to recording and performing. Pinder declined participation, although he collaborated on the 1978 release Octave. In 1979 he made his final departure from the band that brought him fame.
Pinder became a consultant to the Atari computer corporation (primarily working on music synthesis), and started a family in Grass Valley, California. He remained out of the public eye until the mid-1990s, when he began to grant interviews and to work on new recording projects. 1994 saw the release of his second solo album, Among the Stars, on his own One Step label. Two other Mike Pinder CD's, A Planet With One Mind and A People With One Heart, capitalized on Pinder's experience as chief reciter of Graeme Edge's poetry on the seminal Moody Blues albums– in this recording, Pinder reads seven children's stories from different world cultures, accompanied by appropriate world music. As his first spoken word albums, they were well received among its contemporaries in the genre winning awards like the Parent's Choice Award, Library Awards and the Benjamin Franklin Award for Excellence in Audio as an outstanding children's recording.

I quartieri di Zurigo sono ripartiti in 12 distretti (Kreise), per un totale di 34 quartieri.

L'origine di questa suddivisione è da ricercare nell'incorporazione da parte della città di Zurigo, tra il 1893 e il 1934, dei 19 comuni autonomi circondanti il territorio comunale. Questi comuni possedevano ancora una forte identità paesana che si cercherà di preservare mediante le numerose associazioni di quartiere (Quartierverein), che ancora oggi si impegnano per gli interessi della popolazione locale. Le sezioni locali dei partiti sono pure presenti nella quotidianità delle diverse zone.

In ogni zona vi è un Kreisbüro (letteralmente: "ufficio di circolo"), che svolge le funzioni di uno sportello dell'anagrafe occupandosi, ad esempio, di registrare i nuovi residenti. I quartieri più grandi dispongono di un  proprio Quartierbüro. Le diverse zone sono di centrale importanza per quanto riguarda le statistiche demografiche della città.

Policamente, invece, i Kreise hanno perso di rilevanza da quando le zone più piccole sono state accorpate ad altre zone in occasione di votazioni ed elezioni, andando a formare differenti circoscrizioni elettorali (Wahlkreise). Il numero delle circoscrizioni elettorali oscilla da 5 a 9, a seconda della tematica in votazione. Anche la circoscrizioni scolastiche e le parrocchie non coincidono più con le zone.

Coffee Cup Series B
… The behinder I get…
but I simply will persevere with humor!
As a young person trying to find adulthood, I was greatly influenced by the man who took care of our family — eight children and Mother — and who had a quick, stalwart, and calm smile no matter the circumstances in which he found himself. That man was my Dad, whom we lost in 2011. (Mother passed away in 2015.)
My Mother had many challenges in raising eight children, six of whom are younger than I. From her, I learned perseverance, also, and an appreciation for poetry and writing.
What did Dad offer his eight children? He was there, so he showed steadiness. He love us unconditionally, and bragged that he had one of everything — a musician, a singer, a writer of fiction, a journalist, a mechanic, a farmer, an engineer, and beloved house-wife. So he was a good and loving, proud papa.
But it was his sense of humor, and his constant suggestion, through dialogue and example, that it's a good idea to possess humor in one's makeup. Humor, he insisted, was the main ingredient that will get one through life's bumps — which would be many — without to many sustained bruises. Although he also demonstrated that faith was important, he chose to mainly pass along to us the idea of humor's power.
Was he ever right! Thanks, Dad! I'm game for all the humor I can experience!
Here's a cup to you, Dad, with heart-felt acknowledgement of your valuable life lessons and, of course, with much good humor (turtle-fashion!)

4GB USB drive with cool twisty hidden USB connector containing the entire second season of TCGTE After Dark! If you're not familiar with After Dark, think of it as Tim & Tom hanging out with a distinguished and entertaining guest, talking about whatever topics suit their fancy.
But guess what? In addition to these episodes, the drives also contain almost 3.5 gigabytes of empty space. Put whatever you want on there, but please, leave us out of it.
"USB Minisode 2" (22:04) The much anticipated sequel to the first USB themed mini-episode from After Dark Vol. 1.
"Adam Frucci" (1:07:57) We talk with the comedy guy and Splitsider founder about board games, working as an NBC page and other nerdy things.
"Charlie Brand" (1:21:36) The lead singer of Miniature Tigers finally comes on our show and we were all very nice to each other.
"Jason Flowers" (1:21:21) You might know Jason from his work at the UCB Theatre or at Funny or Die. We spend most of this episode discussing pop music of the late 1990s.
"Pollex the Lawyer" (1:03:23) Listen as our friend Pollex, who is an actual lawyer, refuses to give us legal advice for a full hour.
"Taylor Moore" (1:09:04) NYC comedian and host of the "Ten Ideas" podcast tells us about some of the amazing jobs he has on his resume.
"Ellie Jackson" (1:18:31) The lovely and hilarious Ellie Jackson discusses her bizarre fascination with Renaissance Faires.
"Algernon Quashie" (1:07:02) AJ returns! More talk about Michael Jackson and video games from our fan favorite friend.
We also included a live show from Manchester that you probably have heard before.

Q: In C# what is the difference between a destructor and a Finalize method in a class? What is the difference, if there is one, between a destructor and a Finalize method in a class?
I recently discovered that Visual Studio 2008 considers a destructor synonymous with a Finalize method, meaning that Visual Studio won't let you simultaneously define both methods in a class.
For example, the following code fragment:
class TestFinalize
{
    ~TestFinalize()
    {
        Finalize();
    }

    public bool Finalize()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

Gives the following error on the call to Finalize in the destructor:

The call is ambiguous between the following methods or properties:
          'TestFinalize.~TestFinalize()' and 'TestFinalize.Finalize()'

And if the call to Finalize is commented out, it gives the following error:

Type 'ManagementConcepts.Service.TestFinalize' already defines a member called
      'Finalize' with the same parameter types

A: Wikipedia has some good discussion on the difference between a finalizer and a destructor in the finalizer article.
C# really doesn't have a "true" destructor.  The syntax resembles a C++ destructor, but it really is a finalizer.  You wrote it correctly in the first part of your example:
~ClassName() { }

The above is syntactic sugar for a Finalize function.  It ensures that the finalizers in the base are guaranteed to run, but is otherwise identical to overriding the Finalize function.  This means that when you write the destructor syntax, you're really writing the finalizer.
According to Microsoft, the finalizer refers to the function that the garbage collector calls when it collects (Finalize), while the destructor is your bit of code that executes as a result (the syntactic sugar that becomes Finalize). They are so close to being the same thing that Microsoft should have never made the distinction.
Microsoft's use of the C++'s "destructor" term is misleading, because in C++ it is executed on the same thread as soon as the object is deleted or popped off the stack, while in C# it is executed on a separate thread at another time.

A: A destructor in C# overrides System.Object.Finalize method. You have to use destructor syntax to do so. Manually overriding Finalize will give you an error message.
Basically what you are trying to do with your Finalize method declaration is hiding the method of the base class. It will cause the compiler to issue a warning which can be silenced using the new modifier (if it was going to work). The important thing to note here is that you can't both override and declare a new member with identical name at the same time so having both a destructor and a Finalize method will result in an error (but you can, although not recommended, declare a public new void Finalize() method if you're not declaring a destructor).

A: Found here: http://sanjaysainitech.blogspot.com/2007/06/difference-between-destructor-dispose.html

*

*Destructor
They are special methods that contains clean up code for the object.
  You can not call them explicitly in your code as they are called
  implicitly by GC. In C# they have same name as the class name preceded
  by the ~ sign. Like-
Class MyClass
{

~MyClass()
{
.....
}
}

In VB.NET, destructors are implemented by overriding the Finalize
  method of the System.Object class.

*Dispose
These are just like any other methods in the class and can be called
  explicitly but they have a special purpose of cleaning up the object.
  In the dispose method we write clean up code for the object. It is
  important that we freed up all the unmanaged recources in the dispose
  method like database connection, files etc. The class implementing
  dispose method should implement IDisposable interface.A Dispose method
  should call the GC.SuppressFinalize method for the object it is
  disposing if the class has desturctor because it has already done the
  work to clean up the object, then it is not necessary for the garbage
  collector to call the object's Finalize method. Reference:
  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa720161(VS.71).aspx

*Finalize
A Finalize method acts as a safeguard to clean up resources in the
  event that your Dispose method is not called. You should only
  implement a Finalize method to clean up unmanaged resources. You
  should not implement a Finalize method for managed objects, because
  the garbage collector cleans up managed resources automatically.
  Finalize method is called by the GC implicitly therefore you can not
  call it from your code.
Note: In C#, Finalize method can not be override, so you have to
  use destructor whose internal implementation will override the
  Finalize method in MSIL.But in the VB.NET, Finalize method can be
  override because it does support destructor method.

Update: Interesting semi-related thread here.

This one is another very nice rally. The layout is defenitly one for pro's as there are lots of thecnical difficulties (winding curves, jumps and bumps).
if you're looking for something nice without the deja vue feeling this may well be it.
Donno what the copey rating will be yet but it's likely to hit high on the scale.

Wolverines romp through the NCAA tournaments.
John U. Bacon, a lecturer in U-M's history department and Michigan Today's sportswriter, won the 2009 Golden Apple Award, given by U-M students for great teaching. In this excerpt from his "ideal last lecture" he describes a lesson learned from—and does a spot-on impersonation of—coach Schembechler.
In 1989, Michigan's men's basketball team made an improbable run through the NCAA tournament, winning the national title in a heartstopper against Seton Hall.
The Wolverines' female gymnasts rank among the country's best. How do they keep their edge…and what does hockey have to do with it?


I want to show available rooms in my reservation system as per the selected date and time in a xpage view control.
Our design is like, parent document contains the room information and child (reservation) document contains the reservation date information.
Now i want to show available hotel rooms(parent documents) only in a view control depends on their availability using child documents.
Please give me an example how to achieve it using xpage view controls or something else. An example will be appreciated.

10th Anniversay Day 10/1/2015 – Shoalhaven Ex-servicemen's Club Ltd.
Who could believe that the time has gone so quickly. it only seems like yesterday that the Late great gentleman Jack Elliott did the honours teeing off the first hole as we all watched on in anticipation cracking our necks to have a go on the South Coast's newest golf course.
Our Pesident Kevin Duffy did the honours on this occasion and besides having a lesson the day before still managed to miss the ball on his first attempt but he managed a cheessy grin when he sent it soaring into the atmosphere on his second attempt much to the delight of the large crowd in attendence.Well done Kev.
A full field of 136 starters took to the course for a 4 person ambrose and supprisingly most were back in the clubhouse in about 4 hours plus whitch was outstanding.
Winners on the day were the" Browns "with Alona,Kirk,and Jason joined by Col Cattrell.The runners up were the Kohlers ,Steve and Andrew, That man again Richard Marshall and Vince Morris.In third place Rob Ray,Ben Bassett,Gary Ganderton and Bob Walsh.All teams were all within 1 point of each other.
Anyway the day was not about winners on the course the winners were the organisers who did a fab job.The Lady bowlers did an excellent job with lunch plenty of good healthy food that was enjoyed by everyone.
The old "surfie"Panky was the M.C.for the day and once again the Ladies must of been wondering what he must of looked like as a young fellow with his surf board over his shoulder strutting into the surf.What a lucky person Cath is and was however she did say he was a little bit slow for her these days.I should clarify that ,when I asked her before the game were they playing together she said no that Greg was too slow for her.Anyway job well done "Panky".
To the combined committee's of the 3 sections thank you for your efforts,to Rob and the ever willing Peter a big thank you to them and also to our CEO Chris Allen who played and stayed on and shared in a few cheers and to all the Board for their generous donation that went towards one of the best if not the best day our club has had.

The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories by Marina Keegan What astonishing writing. This collection is divided between the author's fiction and non-fiction pieces. The fiction is searing and raw, the non-fiction shows an amazing degree of awareness – I found myself wanting to highlight every third sentence.
You Should Have Known: A Novel by Jean Hanff Korelitz I LOVED this book. The most captivating, interesting novel I've read in a while. I can't say much without giving things away, but the irony of how great the protagonist's relationship advice seems, and what ultimately happens, is brilliant. Add to your TBR pile immediately – you'll be glad you did.
The Book of Jonah: A Novel by Joshua Max Feldman A strange retelling of the biblical book of Jonah set in modern-day Manhattan. This starts out strong, but lost me when Jonah moves to across the world and all these new characters are introduced and none of their stories really resolve.
The Good Luck of Right Now: A Novel by Matthew Quick After reading the Jonah book, I'll confess I had quirky male protagonist fatigue. This was an interesting story but not a happy one. It's like a cross between Patricia Wood's Lottery (a compliment), and The Catcher In the Rye (not so much).
Glitter and Glue: A Memoir by Kelly Corrigan The author of The Middle Place turns her attention to her relationship with her mother, and how a year in Australia caring for two motherless children opened her eyes to the depth of this relationship. Poignant stuff, and I just love her voice in whatever she writes. Her descriptions of her mother's quirks and idiosyncrasies are comedic gold. This is a solid vacation read.
Growing Up Duggar: It's All About Relationships by Jana, Jill, Jessa, and Jinger Duggar You know I love the Duggars :) This is a sweet collection of thoughts and young wisdom from the four oldest Duggar girls. There's not much new or surprising, but the consistent message of how they use their faith to steer them through challenges is inspiring, and I appreciated how they debunk the myth that their life is always easy or perfect. My favorite part was when Jinger described volunteering at a women's prison. They don't show this on the show, and her story of loving these women and seeing God expand their sense of hope is really touching.
The Women of Duck Commander: Surprising Insights from The Women Behind the Beards About What Makes This Family Work by Kay, Korie, Missy & Jessica Robertson Sad to say there was not much here. I appreciate their desire to protect their family relationships, but with all the insistence that all their challenges are in the past and everything is wonderful now (they all love one another, treat each other with respect, live simply by faith) it doesn't make for much of a book.
Rhinestone Jesus: Saying Yes to God When Sparkly, Safe Faith is Not Enough by Kristen Welch This is a great story buried in a spiritual inspiration book. The format is unfortunate, because the real story – how the author and her family were inspired to build a safe home for pregnant women in Kenya – doesn't need to be dressed up in the "you can be more than just a mom" self-help genre. The book is a series of incredible tales of what the author saw and how it (and God) inspired her to take action to help pregnant woman in need…mixed in with truly mundane exhortations along the lines of "do something," and "God never said it would be easy." The form is so entirely mom & family centric that it's difficult for anyone who does not fit into these categories to relate. I will definitely recommend this book to friends looking for inspiring stories of God moving through individuals to help others in need – but with the caveat that there are longish sections they'll need to skim to get to the meat of the story.
Disclosure: I received copies of each of these books from their publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Some of you old-timers we get this.
I just saw a WSO talking about autoupdating fanpages. I thought, he might be talking a new approach to an old idea. And the WSO is targeting one day. Cyber monday for quick sales. No problem there.
But Kurt, it made me think of zz tuelz. Talk about autoupdating. If you already know how to setup a facebook app to do html, or even use of the free or nearly free fb page apps, then you could use zz to create a ton of self updating pages. Just like we have been doing with basic websites for years.
And you can use scrubz to make comment pages.
So much we can do with tuelz mostly evergreen systems.

I don't know anything about Facebook...Are you saying there are FB apps that let you use HTML pages and that there's a way to FTP them to Facebook?
And...How does Facebook work with RSS/Scrubz?

What an app can do is basically act as an Iframe. Allowing you to pull in almost any content you want.
That goes directly to one of the tabs on my facebook page. It is the tab, named muskogee directory events calendar.
The content, is just pulled from my actually calendar hosted elsewhere.
Another tab on that same facebook page is for a concert, Music Fest, it is just pulling in a page with 3 graphic images on it.
As for how to work with tuelz. Use your imagination, Tuelz creates pages, those pages can be loaded into iframes, for which you make apps for.
Hit me up for any help I can give you.
Here is something I did just for you.
Note: the space we have to work with, is only 520 pixels wide, max.
I generally use 500 as my max, so I don't have left and right scroll bars.
Can you recommend a decent iframes app for Facebook?
And...It seems BlogBomb could also be used for this.
>Can you recommend a decent iframes app for Facebook?

There are several. I went with this and it has worked for me.
make all kinds of bombing pages.
And if you had not noticed, you can have a ton of tabs on facebook pages, which makes it come close to mimicking a regular website with multiple pages linked to front page.
Using dog training as the old standby example, you can have a fanpage about dog training, with individual tabs for big dogs, puppies, guard, house breaking, etc.
They could be static or dynamic.
Coincidently, I just read a report by Barbara Ling about autoupdating FB fanpages. She uses http://twitterfeed.com to automatically update fan pages. Twitterfeed will take any RSs pheed and then post to FB, Twitter and a few others.
True, but be careful of community pages. At least in the long run, as community is something that if it becomes truly popular, facebook could take it over and run it.
Now, I don't know how much is consider popular, and what if any control is left to the starter. But it does work, as I have tested the report. It is possible that you can make use of it for years. On this I have not gone deep into what happens if it is truly popular.
Regular business pages cannot at this time use that method.
However, a different route would be to use programs like www.marketmesuite.com load up 30 to 60 tips or other bits of info, into a csv spreadsheet, schedule to post to twitter. Done with updates for 30 days straight, or a year if done once a week.

Hannah Maize
Plastics & Polymer Engineering Technology
Her job? To create better products and to do it more efficiently. And in the world of plastics, that's a highly valued skill set. Hannah is a process engineer for Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials. She loves her job career and the thrill of solving challenges. "I'm never bored and always learning something new," she says.
TAKING THE LEAD
Q&A with Hannah
WHAT DO YOU DO AT MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL ADVANCED MATERIALS?
The short answer is that I put fires out. I'm mainly responsible for process improvement on the manufacturing floor. I get into a bit of project management as well. I make sure that we make the best quality product as efficiently as possible. I do some office work, but can spend the whole day on the floor and come up to my desk maybe once or twice.
WERE YOU WELL-PREPARED FOR YOUR POSITION?
Absolutely. The problem solving skills I developed from the program and the fact that I had a lot of hands-on experience has helped me a lot.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT WORKING IN PLASTICS?
People think we make water bottles and everything's disposable. There are the other facets of the industry, like ours, where we make products to reduce waste, like the metal to plastic replacements, where you're going to be going through parts less quickly because they wear better. There are tons of opportunities for biodegradable, completely bio-based materials. We actually supply cups and lids made from the bio-sourced plastics here. It's only going to keep growing.
WHAT WAS IT THAT REALLY SOLD YOU ON THE PLASTICS PROGRAM AT PENN COLLEGE?
Seeing the students during an open house sold me. They were the ones running the machines. And I was like, "That is really cool. These kids aren't much older than me and they're just totally cool about this." I thought that was awesome.
WHAT DID YOU ENJOY ABOUT THE PLASTICS PROGRAM?
I didn't realize how much I wanted or needed the hands-on aspect of learning until I had it. If I would have majored in something that's just theoretical, I would have been miserable sitting in a classroom all day. You have lecture classes a couple of hours a week. Then, you have three-hour labs that correspond to each of those classes.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION, WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF?
The fact that I knew that I was going to have a job walking right out of college, and I knew I was going to be prepared for that job. I had a job locked down before the end of my first semester, senior year!
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AT THE PENN COLLEGE CAREER FAIR?
The Career Fair was probably one of my favorite parts of the Penn College experience. We were required to go and talk to a bunch of employers. I haven't really heard of that happening at any other college. And they weren't dead-end positions either! They would get in touch with you—they wanted you to come work for them.
YOU HAD LOTS OF OPTIONS. WHY MITSUBISHI?
I really enjoyed the synthesis and advanced materials classes that we took in the program, and that's what we do here. I feel like there are so few companies in the industry that do what we do. So it just felt exclusive and special.
WHY SHOULD SOMEONE CONSIDER PLASTICS AS A CAREER?
Plastics are the future. They're everywhere and not going anywhere. There are so many opportunities for biodegradable and bio-based materials. I feel like we're just scratching the surface on that.
Enriching Opportunities
During her time at Penn College, Hannah was able to attend the Society of Plastics Engineers 32nd Annual Blow Molding Conference in Atlanta with classmates. At the conference they participated in technical presentations and networked with potential employers.

Migrant mother seen fleeing tear gas with children allowed entry into U.S., officials say
Migrant mother seen fleeing tear gas with children allowed entry into US
The Honduran mother who was captured in a photo running away from tear gas with her children near the southern border has been allowed into the United States, officials said.
Officials said Maria Meza, 39, and her children weren't immediately let in because of capacity issues on Monday, but 15 people, including the Meza family, were eventually escorted by California Democratic Reps. Jimmy Gomez and Nanette Barragan across the border with asylum paperwork.
Gomez represents the state's 34th District, an area that includes many parts of central, east and northeast Los Angeles. Barragan represents the 44th District, which covers communities in the South Bay.
The photo of Meza and her children running away from canisters of gas went viral after a Reuters photographer captured the moment.
She told ABC News she left her hometown to escape gang violence and lack of employment. She was travelling with five of her nine children on the migrant caravan.

Q: WiX Custom Bootstrapper Application Installer Upgrade I created a setup using custom BA using WiX 3.11. Created two different version setup for Upgrade. Upgrade operations are working fine. Installer, uninstalled the older version setup and installed current version setup. But during upgrade, setup launches the older version setup Bootstrapper UI. I need to do the silent upgrade (on upgrade older version will be uninstalled silently). Any suggestions on this?
Thanks

A: Take a look at my answer to a similar question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/30271079/682840
The key is to write the version being uninstalled to detect that it's being uninstalled in silent mode and to not show a UI.
The problem, though, is that if you've already shipped the previous version, you can't change it now, so uninstalling it will still show the UI.  Going forward, new versions (once you've incorporated this change) will stop showing the UI.

US Sanctioned Iranian Jet Unloads 10 Trucks of Cargo Near Capital
By Carlos Camacho
CARACAS -- A US-sanctioned Iranian jet flew into the Venezuelan airport serving the capital city of Caracas and offloaded 10 trucks of cargo, less than 48 hours after top US envoy for Iran and Venezuela Elliot Abrams warned that the US would "eliminate" any long-range missiles Tehran sends to the embattled Nicolas Maduro regime.
Iran has been stepping up support for Maduro, sending millions of barrels of gasoline to assuage a severe shortage of fuels, sending technicians and spare parts to restart troubled Venezuelan refineries through Mahan Air, another Iranian airline sanctioned for its ties to the Quds Force and even opening a supermarket in the capital city of Caracas. All of that during the Coronavirus pandemic.
But Tuesday afternoon, Iranian-Venezuelan cooperation hit a new high when a 747 EP-FAB from US-sanctioned Iranian airline Qeshm Fars Air landed at the Simon Bolivar International Airport in Maiquetía at 4:45 pm. Local news site "El Pitazo" had pictures of the plane, cargo bay open, being alleviated of its cargo in several containers that took 10 trucks to transport and a crew of 36 to unload.
The arrival took place less than 48 hours after Donald Trump's top envoy for Iran and Venezuela, Elliot Abrams, warned Maduro and his Iranian allies that the US would "eliminate" any long-range missiles that Tehran sends to Venezuela. "The transfer of long-range missiles from Iran to Venezuela is not acceptable to the United States and will not be tolerated or permitted," said Abrams, who is the US State Department's Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela.
The aircraft is sanctioned by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, OFAC, after being designated as a means of armaments for the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorist organization.
This is not the first Iranian sanctioned aircraft to come from Iran into Venezuela: Mahan Air, an airline the US has linked with Iranian Quds Forces, has flown regularly all through 2020 to two airports in Venezuela, the above mentioned Simon Bolibar in Maiquetia and another one near the country's largest refineries in Punto Fijo.
The unloading was carried out in the remote zone W of the runway 10-28 of the airport of Maiquetia, "El Pitazo" reported, adding that according to sources at the airport, the process is "absolutely controlled by the Vice Presidency of the Republic of Venezuela", meaning Delcy Rodriguez, Maduro's current Vice President. The sources do not know what kind of cargo the aircraft brought.
Considered a firebrand even amongst hardcore "chavistas", Rodriguez is the daughter of 1970s urban guerilla fighter Jorge Rodriguez, who kidnapped US businessman William Niehous in 1976. Rodriguez died in police custody during interrogations that same year and Niehous was freed after more than three years as a hostage in 1979.

Lights, Camera, Gangsters: Growing Up With Mumbai's Real Ganesh Gaitondes
Illustration: Akshita Monga
By Samina Motlekar Jul. 16, 2018
I grew up in the Byculla of '80s and '90s, in middle-class insularity on the fringes of the gangland. Yet, I do not recognise the boys of Sacred Games. And I knew them well. They came to collect donations for Navratri and Ganpati, and they didn't use creative expletives like the L-word.
As I binged on Sacred Games with what seems like the rest of the country – and where the most glowing tributes come from the Juhu-Versova belt – I am taken back to the world it is set in. I grew up in the Byculla of '80s and '90s, which rested comfortably in its middle-class insularity on the fringes of the gangland. If memory serves me right, this was largely a world of somnolence, minus the generous dollops of glamour that have been added by the very skilled storytellers of the series.
My stories of this world and its people are too quotidian, too ordinary – even though they feature an appearance from the dreaded Nagpada mafia. Still, they're perhaps worthy of a gossip session or two, but certainly not dramatic enough for the screen.
I do not recognise the boys of Sacred Games. And I knew them well. They were the boys who came to collect donations for Navratri and Ganpati. I sat next to them watching my first films on the flickering white makeshift screens that hid the grime of our lane during the nine nights of Navratri. These were the men who ran the bidi shop where I went to buy Four Square cigarettes for my father before my mother pointed out I had grown up and put a stop to it. These were the low-level underlings who could always wrangle black market tickets to Palace Cinema where I watched Sholay goggle-eyed, ignoring the torn seats and rats that scurried by my feet.
Some of these boys were Shiv Sena, fewer of them petty gang members, and the line between the two was very thin. Now none of these boys used the creative expletives that pepper the dialogues of Sacred Games. The L-word was alien. Marathi was the dominant language and a broken Bambaiyya Hindi came second. The crackling, inventive language of Sacred Games, I think, is a legacy of the Bollywood mafia film masterfully made by the North Indian migrants who came to the city much after the said events took place. This is not a criticism – how boring would cinema be if we just stuck to the truth!
Not that life in Byculla was all boring.
I remember while I was still in school the nephew of the owner of the Udipi restaurant next to my house was shot dead. A rivalry with the Gawli gang, we were told. No, I was not traumatised. Even then, blood was part of the colour of this colourful city. The next time I went in for a dosa, I saw a garlanded portrait of a young man by the cash counter – and a malnourished cop who was nowhere close to as hardworking as Katekar, with a heavy gun leaning by his side. I doubt very much he'd have been able to lift it.
My stories of this world and its people are too quotidian, too ordinary – even though they feature an appearance from the dreaded Nagpada mafia.

I hear the benign waiters by day had a nighttime avatar in which they clashed with the Gawli gang members, perhaps to avenge the killing, or to mark their territories. That might have been close to the Ganesh Gaitonde character, who lights his first fire as a waiter at a "pure veg" Hindu restaurant. But from what I saw, carom tournaments were their battles of choice.
A few gang members did lurk on top of a tank across my house with makeshift weapons, protection for the matka racket below that was part of the hard-fought turf between the groups. I always wondered as a child walking that route to school and back every day, what there was to fight over matkas – and realised much later that an unorganised betting racket was taking place right under our snooty middle-class noses. Sounds scary, but it was probably safer than a Las Vegas casino, though not as glitzy. A gaggle of schoolgirls, me included, would pass the garbage-strewn path to Gloria Convent past the matka den, and the gangland boys involved in games, sacred or otherwise, would never ever bother us. In a way they were perhaps our own unpaid protection.
These boys who played carom and cards didn't seem to have the time or money for alcohol. What they did have time for every Friday night, was a clanging banging devotional bhajan party that started around nine and went on well past midnight, and ensured sleepless nights for the neigbourhood. There was a desi daru outlet somewhere in the vicinity of the matka house, and no doubt the boys imbibed as they crashed the cymbals and wailed tunelessly their version of sacred songs. The only patron who created a ruckus, however, was the local drunk Michael, who ranted many nights about an unfaithful wife and ungrateful daughter. Or was it the other way around?
Memory fails me. I have not thought of these men, who kept me awake so many nights, for a while now.
My family had a passing acquaintance with the Nagpada mafia – the same area that gave us Dawood and Chhota Shakeel. They were nowhere close to intimidating, just pesky community folk to be avoided by those who had graduated to the next level: doctors and engineers who had discarded the colloquial Konkani dialect for the refined Urdu or sophisticated English.
Now my erstwhile neigbourhood is on Netflix, and suddenly what was once a deprived middle-class childhood has become life experience.
I remember one of the women from the first family of mafiadom angling for an invitation to an aunt's wedding, and relatives running helter skelter from her hiding wedding invites. A film was subsequently made about her, but for the life of me I can't imagine what drama there was in the life of this slightly portly pan-chewing housewife. I very much doubt that she, like Gaitonde's wife, egged on the men to take revenge. This was not a generation of men that listened to their women, and were quite capable of violence on their own. The box of bangles supposedly received by Dawood Ibrahim exhorting him to retaliate is perhaps just another urban legend invented by Bollywood. But what a compelling legend it is, full of drama and emotion, the stuff of cinema.
Real-life dons have comparatively less drama. Gawli lived in Dagdi Chawl on the other side of the tracks, a slight man, who hardly ever stepped out of the stone fortress outside which bare-bodied boys played carrom. When Daddy, as he was called, got his daughter married, he invited every resident of the area. The wedding invitation was a poster stuck outside our house exhorting residents to grace the ceremony at the Turf Club. One poster per building was comparatively cheaper than an individual card no doubt, but notoriously difficult to scrape off the wall after. No one I knew went, though an invitation to a lavish wedding at one of the poshest venues of the city did warm a lot of hearts.
The most dangerous person I knew of was the local Shiv Sena corporator with a fetish for guns and a penchant for shooting bullets in the air to show off. I met him many years later in a social setting. He was gentrified by then, about as gentrified as a Byculla hoodlum can be. I was assured by friends that he was not really a bad guy. But my middle-class judgmental morality refused to recognise this, and from then on, I refused to be part of any occasion he was likely to be at. He died subsequently, luckily for him, not by the gun he loved so much. Perhaps my friends were right. His gun could not cause as much damage as the words of present day politicians do, or as the actions of the Machiavellian home minister of Sacred Games did.

Until a few years ago, I'd have refused to acknowledge my murky origins in this slightly shabby neighborhood on the wrong side of the tracks, pretending that I had emerged fully formed in the fashionable western suburbs. Now my erstwhile neigbourhood is on Netflix, and suddenly what was once a deprived middle-class childhood has become life experience. Yes Sacred Games may not be all true to life, but my early life now seems infinitely more glamorous thanks to it.
My family has moved from the area, matka is no longer lucrative in the era of sports betting, Gawli is a semi-respected politician, and most gangsters are either dead, abroad, or in the nearby Arthur Road jail. The once single-storey tenements are metamorphosing into high-rises and gated communities more secure than Dagdi Chawl.
I still go back sometimes, for a dosa and tomato omelette at the Udipi Hotel, which I still can't call a restaurant. The garlanded photo is long gone, and the gangland killing is probably just a fleeting memory in minds like mine. The shops across the road that burnt down in the riots, the audio cassettes popping like bullets, traumatising us for three nights were never rebuilt.
So much of the city that was once Bombay is gone. Some version survives on screen, some in our collective memories. None of it is the truth though, because Bombay is much more than verisimilitude. Bombay is an idea, a fuzzy grey one in a black-and-white world. We now live in Mumbai.

When I made my foray into the poetry writing world, it was Kamala Das's style that spoke to me. It had no airs about it, no wish to sound perfectly English.

So when she wrote about the language she speaks, "It is half English, half Indian, funny perhaps, but it is honest…", it is something I could relate to.

Around 82 per cent of startups in the country are yet to receive any benefit under the Centres Startup India initiative, a report said on Thursday
New Delhi: Around 82 per cent of startups in the country are yet to receive any benefit under the Centre's Startup India initiative, a report said on Thursday.
"Only 18 per cent startups and SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in the next poll claimed to have benefited from the Startup India Mission. This means that a huge 82 per cent start-ups or SMEs felt that they did not receive any benefit from the highly publicised scheme," said the LocalCircles Annual Startup Survey 2019.LocalCircles, a community social media platform, conducted the survey among over 15,000 start-ups, SMEs and entrepreneurs in the country, it said.
The Startup India initiative was launched in January 2016 with an aim to support the growth of startups in the country by providing incubation, funds and tax exemptions among other benefits.
Further, bringing the glare back to the "angel tax" issue faced by startups, the survey showed that about 32 per cent start-ups received multiple notices from the Income Tax Department in 2018. "The angel tax has not made the life of an entrepreneur any easier with many SMEs and startups receiving income tax notices this year," the report said.
"32 per cent said they had received multiple notices while six per cent said they had received one notice. 62 per cent said they did not receive any notices." The issue of tax notices to start-ups received public gaze after several start-up founders took to social media after receiving tax notices.
This led to the government ordering the Income Tax (IT) Department on December 24 not to take coercive measures to recover the outstanding angel-tax dues.The order issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said the matter was under consideration and directions were issued to the IT Department not to take any coercive measures to recover the outstanding demand till further instructions.
However, according to the report, issuance of assessment orders against start-ups continued despite the government orders."Though an order was issued to not take coercive measures to recover the demand, assessment orders continue to be issued against start-ups," it said.
