5 More VGM Cover Artists You Should Check Out
DisturbedShadow
Filed to:video game music
I love video game soundtracks. I also love hearing my favorite video game songs reinterpreted in cool and interesting ways. Late last year, I put together a list of five of my favorite artists who cover video game music and now I'm back with another set of five, this time venturing outside the genres I typically listen to.
The Consouls
The Consouls are an Australian jazz band that covers mostly songs from video games, although they've done a few covers of songs from film and anime as well. What's really cool about the music these guys make is that they put a very unique spin on each song they cover, mixing it up with a lot of improvisational bits and slowing down faster tracks into smooth jazz slow jams that would feel right at home in a classy bar in a noir film.
SwigglesRP
SwigglesRP is yet another cover artists who makes rock and metal covers of video game tracks (with the occasional film and television cover thrown in). In the last couple of years, he's really stepped up his production quality and put together some pretty awesome covers, ranging from rock, to progressive metal, to some pieces of a more ambient or electronic nature. He's also done a ton of collaborations with other members of the VGM cover community.
Smooth McGroove
You've probably heard of Smooth McGroove. He's the guy with the long hair and long beard who makes awesome a cappella covers of video game tracks. The man has an amazing voice with quite the range, hitting both high and low notes like a boss. Each of his covers is made up of several layers of vocal tracks, combined to create a sound almost reminiscent of a chip tune. What I really love is that he uses his voice to create the percussion tracks and mixes things up and throws in some whistling here and there.
Ace Waters
Ace Waters made a splash last year when he teamed up with RichaadEB (featured on my last list) to create the first official Undertale cover album, Determination. Rich did a bunch of metal covers of the boss fight themes while Ace did a bunch of electronic covers of many of the other songs in the game. What I really like about Ace's music is that instead of creating the typical dubstep-y covers that most people do, he creates really awesome ambient electronic covers and often incorporates unexpected instruments like a saxophone or a banjo. He also recently started a really cool new "space folk progressive post-metal" band with several other internet musicians, including RichaadEB, called Involved in the Troubles.
insaneintheranemusic
insaneintherainmusic makes really awesome jazz covers of video game music. His main instrument of choice is the saxophone, but he also plays the piano, the guitar, and a bunch of other instruments. His skill and production quality has only gotten better over the years and he has quickly become one of my favorite VGM cover artists. Earlier this year, he released an official Undertale Jazz album called Live at Grillby's, which features some of his best work to date. He's also been on a roll with a series of covers of songs from the fourth generation Pokemon games over the last few weeks. His musicianship is just flat out amazing and he never fails to impress.
That's it for this list, but be sure to share your favorite VGM cover artists below. I might even feature them in a future article.

Q: this becomes null inside the javascript function I have java script function which gives current lat long  inside that function making an http  post call like this "this.http.post" but the value of  this null inside the function
My code
ngOnInit(): void {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(p) {
          var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);
          console.log(p.coords.latitude);
          console.log(p.coords.longitude);
          var dataObj = {
            latitude: p.coords.latitude,
            longitude: p.coords.longitude
          };
          this.http.post('https://XXXXX/datacenteres.php', {
              dataObj
            })
            .subscribe(
              res => {
                console.log(res);
              },
              err => {
                console.log("Error occured");
              }
            );
        }
      }
    }

I am getting this errors in the console "Cannot read property 'http' of null".
Inside navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (p) { this is null  }
Inside the If statement i am able to get the "this".

A: You can use arrow function like below:
if (navigator.geolocation) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(p => {
        //var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);
        console.log(p.coords.latitude);
        console.log(p.coords.longitude);
        var dataObj = {
          latitude :p.coords.latitude,
          longitude:p.coords.longitude
        };
        this.http.post('https://XXXXX/datacenteres.php', {
          dataObj
        })
          .subscribe(
            res => {
              console.log(res);
            },
            err => {
              console.log("Error occured");
            }
          );
      })
    }

A: Try like this :
use .bind(this) end of the function
ngOnInit(): void {
    if (navigator.geolocation) {
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(p) {
            var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);

            console.log(p.coords.latitude);
            console.log(p.coords.longitude);

            var dataObj = {
                latitude: p.coords.latitude,
                longitude: p.coords.longitude
            };
            this.http.post('https://XXXXX/datacenteres.php', {
                dataObj
            }).subscribe(res => {
                console.log(res);
            }, err => {
                console.log("Error occured");
            });
        }.bind(this));

    }
}

A: Simply store this into a variable and use it inside the callback function. Its' quite handy
ngOnInit():void {
var self = this;
if (navigator.geolocation) {
      navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (p) {
          var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude, p.coords.longitude);

          console.log(p.coords.latitude);
          console.log(p.coords.longitude);

            var dataObj = {
                latitude :p.coords.latitude,
                longitude:p.coords.longitude
                        };
          self.http.post('https://XXXXX/datacenteres.php', {
    dataObj
    })
      .subscribe(
        res => {
          console.log(res);
        },
        err => {
          console.log("Error occured");
        }
      );

  }
  }

Post-Abortion Recovery
Donate 24/7 Hotline: (800) 712-HELP (4357) TEXT: 419-751-4356 CALL: (937) 382-2424
What is abortion?
Abortion is a serious medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. Different types of abortions are used in different stages of the pregnancy, and each come with side effects and risks. Before choosing abortion, it's important to understand how it works and all the potential short-term and long-term consequences so you can make a fully-informed decision.
A medical abortion goes by many names: Medication abortion, medical abortion, the abortion pill. All refer to the same type of abortion. A medical abortion involves taking two drugs to end and expel a pregnancy. The pills are prescribed by a doctor at a clinic. This type of abortion is only available through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
The first drug, mifepristone, is typically taken at the clinic. It ends the pregnancy by blocking your body's production of progesterone, also known as the "pregnancy hormone." Without this hormone, the pregnancy cannot grow, so mifepristone causes fetal demise.
The second drug, misoprostol, is taken at home between 24-48 hours after mifepristone. It will cause contractions to expel the fetal tissue from the uterus. You may experience fatigue, fever, blood clotting, and extreme cramping during this phase of the abortion.
A follow up visit to the doctor's office or clinic where you got the pills is necessary two weeks after the abortion to ensure it was successful.
Surgical abortion is available throughout pregnancy. Different methods are utilized during different trimesters. It is more invasive than a medical abortion and requires time spent in the clinic to complete the abortion.
Most surgical abortion procedures involve inserting a tube into the uterus. At the end of the tube is a suction device that will pull out the fetal tissue. Once removed, the doctor will use tools to scrape the inside of the uterus to ensure all tissue was removed.
The recovery time after a surgical abortion varies depending on how far along you are in the pregnancy.
Abortion Side Effects
As with all medical and surgical procedures, abortion comes with a number of risks and side effects. The Mayo Clinic lists the following side effects of a medical abortion.
The medications used in medical abortion cause vaginal bleeding and abdominal cramping. They may also cause:
Normal side effects after an abortion include:
Light vaginal bleeding
The Mayo Clinic also lists the following side effects of surgical abortion:
Bleeding, including blood clots
Feeling faint
Additional risks to watch out for:
Bleeding that's heavy enough that you need to change pads every hour
Cramps lasting more than 48 hours
Pain that gets worse instead of better
Foul-smelling discharge from the vagina
Perforation of the uterus
Damage to the cervix
Scar tissue on the uterine wall
Before Your Abortion
Before your abortion, it's important to gather critical information about your pregnancy.
First, you'll need an ultrasound to determine how far along you are, where the pregnancy is located, and if the pregnancy is viable. All of these factors will determine if you are eligible for an abortion, and if so, what kind.
Second, you'll want to schedule STI testing. Untreated STIs can cause problems with future fertility and also pose threats to your current pregnancy or abortion.
Finally, make sure you take the time to fully examine all of your options. Many women rush to get an abortion they later regret because it's not really what they wanted. If you're feeling pressured to abort, know that your pregnancy decision is yours alone to make.
We offer all of the above pregnancy services free of charge so you can make an empowered choice. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.
New Life Clinic does not perform or refer for abortions.
The best thing about New Life Clinic is the information I received and the respect I received.
I would highly recommend New Life Clinic if not for the education but for moral support.
We talked about my options and what I could do. They were on my side with no judgments at all.
New Life Clinic helps in any way they can no matter what the situation is.
I'm failing my family by not taking care of them like I should, but that's changing today. I'm getting a job and doing what's right and being the best father I can be.
I love both of my class leaders. They are very inspirational and uplifting. They give you so much hope and confidence.
I loved the class and the Clinic. It's a blessing to a single mother of 3.
Thank you for this realization of my toxic habit as a young man. This event has brought the issue into the picture and its an issue I'm going to solve.

HANSARD 1803–2005 → 1950s → 1955 → November 1955 → 3 November 1955 → Commons Sitting → NATIONAL FINANCE
NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANISATION
HC Deb 03 November 1955 vol 545 cc1209-10 1209
§ 45. Mr. Beswick
asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the continued practice of senior North Atlantic Treaty Organisation officials of making public speeches of a politically controversial character, he will cause representations to be made to the Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation that all such officials conform to the code in this regard laid down for Service officers and civil servants in this country.
§ The Prime Minister (Sir Anthony Eden)
No, Sir. I am confident that the senior officials of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation are fully aware of the need for observing discretion in their public speeches.
§ Mr. Beswick
Does the Prime Minister really mean that senior officials observed discretion on the very eve of the Geneva talks, when both Field Marshal Montgomery and Lord Ismay said that no matter what Mr. Molotov might say at Geneva, he could not be trusted?
I do not think that those were the words they used. Generally speaking, I think that officials of N.A.T.O. have used discretion in what they say. It is quite true that in some countries, such as ours, there are different arrangements about what shall be said by military spokesmen than there are in other countries, but in an international organisation the rules that may apply to one country do not necessarily apply to all.
If we in this country have rules which, according to the Prime Minister—and I agree with him—are slightly higher than those existing elsewhere, have we not a duty to try to raise the general standard of international conduct in these matters? Does the right hon. Gentleman not think that some of the remarks by Field Marshal Montgomery and Lord Ismay were extremely offensive?
As far as Field Marshal Montgomery's speech was concerned, I thought it was a stimulating one as regards military organisation. I do not think anyone felt that the speeches did any particular harm.

For people looking to quit smoking, the Lehigh Valley's second Vapor Galleria is expected to open in the spring in south Bethlehem.
The Texas-based company, offering electronic cigarettes, accompanying juices and hardware, is expected to open in late March or early April at 14 W. Fourth St., according to operator Desiree Washington.
The space previously housed The Game Gallery, which continues to operate a location in downtown Easton.
E-cigarettes have been promoted as safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes as they do not contain tobacco or produce smoke.
Instead, flavored e-juices containing different levels of nicotine are heated via a battery-powered device and vaporized. That vapor is then inhaled by the user.
Vapor Galleria, which has seven locations in Texas in two in Pennsylvania, opened its first area store in South Whitehall Township in 2014.
According to Washington, an Army veteran, the Bethlehem store also will sell CBD products for ailments such as inflammation, arthritis, anxiety and sleep disorders. Info: vaporgalleria.com.

Icelandic Lamb; the best tasting, lean and finest textured lamb in the world. Raised in isolation the Icelandic Sheep is the only breed of sheep in Iceland and has provided meat, milk and wool for the Icelandic people for over 1000 years. Icelandic lambs roam free all summer in the purest of environments and graze on an all-natural diet of grasses and herbs without use of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics or hormones. Raised on family farms where sustainable practices preserve the land and ensure a high level of quality of life for the sheep, the farmers ride their beautiful Icelandic horses to round up their animals in September. Each one is ear marked, however, easily recognized by their owners as they know their flocks well. Icelandic lamb producers operate with a high level of animal welfare standards. The combination of breed, environment, superior farming methods, production processes and taste make Icelandic Lamb an amazing culinary choice.

Antonio Barreca has not been seen in a Newcastle United shirt since making his debut for the club in the final stages of their Premier League clash with Tottenham Hotspur on February 2.
Barreca joined the Magpies on loan from Monaco during the January transfer window.
He played four minutes of his team's 1-0 loss to Tottenham at the start of last month, but has not even made the bench for Newcastle's last six Premier League matches.
Earlier this month, the English club's fans had a negative reaction to a tweet mentioning the defender and it would be fair to say that things have not improved.
It was actually the Italian's birthday on Monday.
As expected, Newcastle's official Twitter account was on hand to wish Barreca a happy 24th birthday, but the response from the club's supporters was not too positive indeed.
We should definitely sign him up.


Traction noise is one of the noise sources of powered railway vehicles such as locomotives, electric and diesel powered train units and high speed trains. Especially at speeds below 60 km/h and at idling, but also at acceleration conditions for a wide range of speeds, traction noise can be dominant. This is relevant for noise in residential areas near stations and shunting yards, but in some cases also along the line. The other relevant sources are rolling noise, often dominant between 100 and 250 km/h, aerodynamic noise, which can be dominant above 300 km/h, braking noise, curve squeal and impact noise. The braking system can often technically be considered part of the overall traction system, although acoustically it will often have separate noise sources. In the Harmonoise and IMAGINE projects, a generalised prediction model for railway traction noise has been proposed to cover a broad range of powered railway vehicles. The model is one of the prediction modules for overall rail traffic noise, which also covers the other main sources. The traction noise model includes the main operational parameters such as driveshaft speed and power settings, and also takes individual auxiliary components and their duty cycles into account, such as compressors, valves and fans. Source height is included in the model. The level of modelling detail in the many potential traction noise sources has been kept to a minimum, as for the purpose of rail traffic noise prediction it often suffices to model only the dominant sources. Measurement methods are outlined to determine the noise emission spectra from which extrapolations are made to obtain estimates for different operating conditions.

Faldo is the New King of the Booth!
Written by Mel Sole on January 22, 2016 . Posted in Golf News, Golf School Blog
I have never been a great fan of Nick Faldo as a broadcaster. So it came as quite a surprise when he beat out Johnny Miller as the most popular broadcaster in golf. I have always liked Johnny's honesty and tremendous knowledge of the game. Nick seems a little "smarmy" for my liking. But, we live in a democratic society, so I defer to the winner.
It came as no surprise to me that Fox ousted Greg Norman. His duty during the US Open was disastrous, to say the least. He was so insincere in his constant flattery of the USGA, even though we all knew what a catastrophe the golf course condition was.
I'll still look forward to listening to Jim Nantz in early April. I cannot wait!

Not the Peoples Choice.
If Johnny Miller is reading this, we hope he's sitting down. Preferably, in the comfort of his home, while wearing his favorite pair of houndstooth-pattern pants. Johnny, there's no easy way to say this, but when it comes to golf analysts, you're not the people's choice anymore.
Nick Faldo.
Nick Faldo overtaking Miller was one of the most noteworthy findings in Golf Digest's latest survey of TV viewers. It wasn't a blowout, but Faldo, the six-time major champion, received 58 percent to Miller's 53 percent in the favorite-analyst category.(Respondents could choose multiple options.) In previous TV surveys (2002 and 1996), Miller was the dominant winner among analysts.
But was it a fair fight? Miller still had plenty of support and was widely praised for his "brutal honesty," but Faldo has four more majors and that distinguished English accent. More important, he gets to call the Masters, the runaway favorite event among viewers (66 percent to 12 percent for the Ryder Cup), as well as a second major, the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, NBC didn't broadcast the U.S. Open for the first time in two decades, and it wasn't a Ryder Cup year.
Jim Nantz.
Regardless, there's no contest when it comes to hosts/play-by-play announcers. As was the case in our last comprehensive survey, Jim Nantz emerged an easy winner among respondents, who were 83 percent male, had a median age of 59, and averaged watching 19 tournaments last season. In other words, these weren't just bandwagon Masters fans. To be sure, Nantz's popularity isn't hurt by his ubiquitous presence at CBS' biggest sporting events, from the Super Bowl to the Final Four. Still, his 65 percent (nearly doubling ESPN's Mike Tirico, at 33 percent) versus just 8 percent of viewers naming Nantz their least favorite, is impressive.

Public Release: 22-Feb-2018
Portable ultrasound; post-prison follow up could improve care of patients with kidney disease

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Feb. 22, 2018) - A portable ultrasound can help nephrologists better detect fluid in the lungs of patients with end-stage kidney disease, according to a study by physicians at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University.
Patients with the disease, characterized by the kidneys' inability to work well enough to meet your body's basic needs, can accumulate fluid all over their bodies, and commonly in the lungs says second-year nephrology fellow Dr. Omar Saleem.
The trick is knowing where the fluid is and how much needs to be removed, Saleem says, and accumulation in the lungs can lead to complications like heart failure and high blood pressure.
Saleem, and other faculty and students from MCG, will present their research at the Southern Regional Meetings of the American Federation for Medical Research this week in New Orleans.
When it comes to diagnosing "wet lungs," the standard has been listening for chest crackling sounds with a stethoscope and measuring blood pressure - more fluid on the lungs prevents oxygen from being absorbed into the bloodstream. "But that's quite subjective," he says. "For instance, sometimes you can't hear the crackling. That's why the ultrasound adds to the physical exam."
He examined 24 ESKD patients at Augusta University Health. As part of the normal physical exam, he placed the ultrasound probe on the patients' chests to get a good view of the lungs. If there was fluid, he would see B-lines, which are actually reflections of the water in the lungs that appear as long, vertical white lines on an ultrasound. The higher the number of B-lines and the more intense, or bright, they were, the more fluid was present.
"This is an objective marker of lung water, the accumulation of which can lead to serious complications for already fragile patients. We're right at the edge here and we're trying to keep people from tipping over into heart failure," says Dr. Stanley Nahman, MCG nephrologist and director of the Department of Medicine's Translational Research Program. "This will change the way we manage these people with dialysis."
Physicians can then better target dialysis treatments. "I can set the fluid removal goal at a higher point during dialysis," Saleem says. "Where I might normally take off two liters of fluid, I might take three or four in someone who has water in their lungs"
"Our kidneys take all the fluid that comes from normal intake through diet and drinking and they filter the waste products, which we excrete in urine," says "But these patients rarely urinate. They count on dialysis to keep their fluid in balance." The kidneys also help the body reabsorb essential nutrients into the bloodstream.
Hemodialysis uses a special filter called a dialyzer - or an artificial kidney - to filter waste, balance electrolytes and remove extra fluid. End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients are typically receiving dialysis three times each week.
Also presenting is Dr. Elizabeth Chu, a second-year internal medicine resident and 2016 MCG graduate, who proposes a new way to manage the way former inmates with ESKD re-enter society.
The Georgia Department of Corrections is one of the largest state correctional systems in the country, supervising nearly 52,000 inmates - many of them have ESKD and are on three-times weekly dialysis at Augusta State Medical Prison. But there is currently no plan to help them figure out how to navigate treatment when they get out of prison, Chu says.
"We were finding that nephrologists were frequently called to the emergency room to provide dialysis to former inmates with ESKD and nowhere else to go," she says. "When we consulted Augusta State Medical Prison regarding discharge of these patients, we found that most did not have active Medicare, which pays for dialysis. When they were released, inmates were given copies of their dialysis run sheets, documenting their treatments, the address of the nearest Social Security Office with instructions to 'go sign up for Medicare' and instructions to go to the ER for their dialysis until they got Medicare."
With an average 12-week waiting period for Medicare, these former inmates were not eligible to enroll at private dialysis treatment centers, instead heading to their local emergency rooms for up to 36 treatments before they received insurance through Medicare.
"Not only was the funding gap resulting in erratic and inadequate care, but it also generated unnecessary costs borne by society," Chu says.
A year of dialysis (150 treatments) in an outpatient facility costs about $89,000; one dialysis treatment in the Augusta University Medical Center Emergency Department is around $25,000. For a patient, receiving three treatments a week over 12 weeks costs could add up to around $900,000. The lack of regular medical care can also result in complications and unnecessary hospitalizations, which are also costly.
To define the scope of the problem, Chu reviewed the records of all ESKD patients at Augusta State Medical Prison from 2014-16, looking for demographic information and anticipated re-entry years. She also made comparisons to a national cohort.
Over the three-year study period, the prison had 180 dialysis patients. From this group, 73, or 41 percent, were discharged from the prison, which is an average of 24 patients per year - comparable to numbers for prison systems outside of Georgia.
"Assuming 24 re-entry patients per year at an ER dialysis cost of $900,000 per patient, the state could save around $21 million annually," Chu said.
She proposes a Comprehensive Disease Management Program instead. Chu says hiring a re-entry navigator with a background in corrections social work and case management who initiates applications for Medicare four to six months before inmates are released would be a huge help. This navigator would also contact dialysis centers, hospitals and parole officers in the area where the inmate intended to live, and could have post-release visits at least monthly for two years, to make sure patients were following through with treatment plans.
Chu's project was reviewed and endorsed by administrators of Augusta University, Georgia Correctional HealthCare, the Georgia Department of Corrections and the Office of the Governor. Georgia Correctional HealthCare is the division of Augusta University that provides high quality health care to over 60 Georgia Department of Correction facilities statewide.
Twelve other MCG students, residents and fellows are presenting their work at the meeting. Nahman and Dr. Stephanie Baer, chief of Infection Control and Epidemiology at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical Center, and Dr. Jennifer Waller, director of Clinical and Translational Science programs in the Department of Population Health Sciences, will also moderate a student panel on Big Data for the Clinician: An Approach to Data Mining Using the United States Renal Data System.

Often called the sinking city, Venice is a wonderful place to spend a few weeks walking up and down little alleys. To truly enjoy the city, however, one needs to know how it came to be.
Italy is one of the most interesting countries in all of Europe. The culture, language, climate and even the boot shape of the country are all things that draw people to Italy and its history. Within Italy, there are many cities that also attract people, including Rome and Venice. Venice, Italy is particularly engaging and deserves more than just a glance.
Venice has a long and varied past. It was supposedly founded in 422 AD by Romans who were fleeing the Goths. The Goths, in turn, were trying to conquer areas of the Roman Empire. However, there are no concrete records of when exactly Venice was founded.
Starting in the ninth century AD and continuing on into the twelfth century, Venice became a city state similar to other city states such as Genoa and Pisa. Strategically, Venice was strong, as it was situated at the edge of the Adriatic Sea and was virtually untouchable. It's naval and other marine forces made it a center of commerce for the region. Construction on the Venetian Arsenal started in 1104, and when Venice gained control of the Brenner pass in 1178, they also obtained all the rights to the silver trade from Germany. This made the city one of the economic powers of the time.
By 1204, Venice had taken yet another turn. This is the period of the Fourth Crusade. Venice played a crucial role in the taking of Constantinople and creation of a Latin Empire. Venice's ability to send out ships to transport men and goods made them invaluable in the Crusades, and they received much plunder from the city's takeover. Venice's form of government also helped the city to prosper - here, a form of rule much like that of ancient Rome took place. A doge (or duke) ruled over the city state theoretically for life (although some of the doges were forced into early retirement). A senate, comprised of nobles, also ruled over the area as advisors to the doge. A mass of the citizens were included in the ruling class, but they held limited political power and were eventually removed from the government entirely.
Modern-era rule of Venice started when the city state (republic) lost its independence after 1070 years of self-rule. Napoleon conquered Venice in 1797. By 1798, Venice was part of the Austrian Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. In 1866, Venice along with the rest of Venetia became part of Italy. Although initially dominated by the rule of the various Popes, the united country slowly developed into a full fledged republic.

Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival
This is the story of power—humanity's power over nature and the power of some people over others.
How has Homo sapiens—one species among millions—become powerful enough to threaten a mass extinction and disrupt the Earth's climate? Why have we developed so many ways of oppressing one another? Can we change our relationship with power to avert ecological catastrophe, reduce social inequality, and stave off collapse? These questions—and their answers—will determine our fate.
Weaving together findings from a vast range of disciplines, Power traces how four key elements developed to give humans extraordinary power: tool-making ability, language, social complexity, and the ability to harness energy sources—most significantly, fossil fuels. It asks whether we have, at this point, overpowered natural and social systems, and if we have, what we can do about it.
Most crucially, the book explores how self-limitation of power is rooted in evolution and human history, but our memory of it has been buried under a century of fossil-fuel driven economic growth. Now, at this vital moment, we must rapidly re-learn the lessons of power if humanity is to have a thriving future.

Read the Introduction
Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival by Richard Heinberg. Published 2021 by New Society Publishers. Paperback. 416 pages. ISBN 9780865719675.
Praise for Power
"In this book Richard Heinberg offers a powerful new way of understanding the historic rise and probable fall of our species. It is an impressive, sweeping, and thought-provoking narrative."
—Dennis Meadows, coauthor, The Limits to Growth
"Richard Heinberg is a writer of unfailing interest and this book sums up much of his life's thinking. Understanding our dilemma in terms of power is, well, a powerful way for getting at the predicaments and possibilities of this fraught moment in our evolving history as a species."
—Bill McKibben, author of Falter and co-founder of 350.org
"A profound, rigorous, convincing, and actionable lesson on how to understand power less as the control one has over others than as the collective capacity we have to share with one another. A rich, moving, and necessary treatise from our most accomplished, coherent, and compassionate thinker on sustainable futures. This can still be accomplished."
—Douglas Rushkoff, Team Human
"Heinberg goes to the very heart of the issue. Using his immense knowledge of biology, science, history, psychology. and the politics of energy, he shows that the environmental and social crises we face today have in their origin the insatiable human pursuit (and often abuse) of power, in all its forms.
"In showing us the path forward, Heinberg guides us to achieve power-limiting behavior so that we can not only survive but thrive on a healthy planet and in healthy balance with one another."
—Maude Barlow, cofounder, The Blue Planet Project
"Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival is sweeping in scope and a powerful presentation. Richard Heinberg is willing to face the harsh reality of multiple, cascading social and ecological crises without flinching, and he has written a comprehensive book offering readers a framework moving forward that isn't based on wishful thinking. Drawing on his decades of activism and research, Heinberg explains why power and energy are central concepts for understanding the human predicament and shaping our future.
"Equal parts science and philosophy, history and contemporary analysis, Power is more engaging than a scholarly tome and more thoughtful than journalism. Heinberg's book is a model of public scholarship about life-or-death challenges to human societies."
—Robert Jensen, Emeritus Professor, University of Texas at Austin
"Richard Heinberg's panoramic review of known forms of power is both sobering and inspiring. Given our species' habitual methods for getting its way, be these methods physical, mental, or social, the outlook for our future is bleak indeed. Yet, Heinberg allows for the slim but real possibility of exercising restraint. If we are so persuaded, by wisdom or love for beauty, the future even now remains open. Indeed, such restraint returns us to ancient, almost forgotten appetites and capacities."
—Joanna Macy, author, World As Lover, World As Self
"Power is an extraordinary tour de force. It is a comprehensive compendium of how it has emerged, despite our self-proclamation to be sentient beings, that we now find ourselves scrambling on the edge of a cliff. Ironically this perilous rock-face is one that we ourselves have created. As a species, spurred on by the power of our migrant curiosity, we have exploited the immediate opportunities of the natural world while blindly discounting the future. But our planet keeps score — and fortunately so does Richard Heinberg.
"Power is a must-read. It is a call to action for those seeking a sustainable, balanced, human future in harmony with the Earth. No guarantees, of course, but harnessing the power of sentient action certainly beats the alternative: of continuing our blind stumble only soon to be swept aside, as have many creatures before us."
—Peter C. Whybrow, author, The Well-Tuned Brain: Neuroscience and the Life Well-Lived
"For three decades, Richard Heinberg has been foretelling of a day when humanity will be compelled to make a fateful choice: either turn away from our path of headlong growth or follow that path into a dark, dystopian future. Now, in 2021, that day has come. We are entering, in Heinberg's words, 'a narrow window of time' in which we must make that choice and act decisively on it.
"His book Power takes us through the 4-billion-year history of power (defined as the rate of energy transfer, in both physical and social systems) from our pre-agricultural ancestors' taboos on excessive power to the past two hundred fossil-powered years and what he calls the Great Acceleration. History and science are now telling us, loudly, that Heinberg has been right all along, that a great deceleration is coming. As with previous reversals of growth in societies throughout history, Heinberg concludes, humanity's ability to successfully navigate the coming worldwide decline will depend on how we handle power. We must, he says, finally reject vertical social power ("the ability to get others to do something") and embrace our collective horizontal power ("the ability of a group to self-organize to accomplish something").
"Power is Heinberg's masterwork. And it could not be more timely, arriving just as that window of time for action threatens to slam shut. Ignore this book at your peril."
—Stan Cox, author, The Green New Deal and Beyond
"Power serves as a Rosetta Stone to decipher how our species went from one of many to apex predator in a very short time. A necessary book to fully understand the imperative that our species return to "right relation" in this critical time."
—Peter Buffett, composer and philanthropist
"Heinberg's Power is a searing, unflinching revelation of what has driven us to our current existential crisis: humanity's quest for power. Impeccably researched and masterfully written, this book explains how and why humanity is driving itself off the cliff. If there is any hope for us to continue, Heinberg shows why it must come from efforts to limit our own power."
—Dahr Jamail, author of The End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption
"Power is Richard Heinberg at his synthesizing best. In this sweeping volume, he deftly links raw energy – essential for anything to happen in the physical world – to the exercise of political power in the cultural domain.
"If the productive use of energy to expand is the ultimate key to evolutionary success, then humanity has no equal on Earth. But energy is also the ultimate source of material success, society's addiction to economic growth and the international power politics that are destroying the planet. In Power , Richard Heinberg asks whether we can avoid catastrophe. Will competing nations' primal lust for power give way to high intelligence, mutual trust, and unreserved cooperation in the quest to salvage civilization? Not a trivial question – failure would deny humanity the chance to advance another rung up the evolutionary ladder."
—William E Rees, FRSC, Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia; co-originator of the ecological footprint concept
"Power reminds us that Richard Heinberg is one of the most important public intellectuals in the conversation about society's future. Eminently readable and engaging, Power is breathtaking in its scope and insight. Heinberg persuasively argues that we have reached evolutionary limits to concentrated social power and that empathy and beauty are key to averting ecological and social catastrophe."
—Chuck Collins, Institute for Policy Studies, author, The Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions.
"I turn to Richard Heinberg whenever I need to understand something about energy; he's the 'go-to' source. And now this! Power, with seamless fluency in paleo-history, economics, psychology, and politics, is the 'must-read' for anyone wondering how we can make it through the 21st century. This book is more than informative. It is enlightening. It is essential. It is powerful!"
—Suzanne Moser, climate researcher and consultant
"A delight to read, it has a number of sobering messages for policy makers and politicians alike… Setting this book apart from virtually all others covering the topic of energy transition and climate change is that Heinberg covers power in all its manifestations… A sobering and timely book just as many governments appear to acknowledge – after decades of inaction – the dangers of climate change."
—EEnergy Informer
"It may be a moral idea that hard work pays off but if we need proof that it counts, this latest of Richard Heinberg carries all the evidence we need. His encyclopedic treatment of power is brilliant. It is sure to pop up in courses and living rooms like toast."

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the successor for IPv4, the current version of most popular network layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks used on the Internet. In Windows Vista, IPv6 is fully implemented and supported, is also installed and enabled by default, with full Internet Protocol security (IPsec) support for IPv6 traffic and Teredo tunneling support for non-IPv6 aware devices.
IPv6 is not common yet, as most software, routers, modems, and other network equipments does not support the emerging and future-proof protocol yet. Beside, turning off IPv6 support does not affect the functionality of Internet browsing for average users. Thus IPv6 and/or Teredo can and (quite likely) should be disabled if it's not in use to conserve system resources. Unlike Windows XP, IPv6 in Windows Vista cannot be uninstalled, according to Microsoft. However, IPv6 can be disabled. The following guide will allow users to disable IPv6 on a specific connection of a network interface card.
Go to Network Connections folder (click on Start button, then right click on Network, select Properties, then click on "Manager network connections" on Tasks pane).
You should see various LAN, wireless, Bluetooth, high speed Internet, and other network connections available on the Vista computer with the network adapter description. Right click on the network connection that you want to disable the IPv6 interface and select "Properties".Click "Continue" on User Access Control permission request prompt.
5. To re-enable IPv6, tick back the check box.
This method disables IPv6 on the particular LAN interface and connection. For other network adapter or connection, users have to repeat the steps to disable IPv6. Beside, disable IPv6 also does not disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface.
It's also possible to disable IPv6 and/or Teredo via Vista system registry. The registry settings also allow users to selectively disable components and configure behaviors for IPv6 in Windows Vista.
3. Create the following registry value (DWORD type):DisabledComponentsNote that the name must be exactly as shown, including capitalization. DisabledComponents is set to 0 by default.
5. Restart the computer for changes to take effect.
6. To revert and enable IPv6, delete "DisabledComponents" registry key or set its registry value to 0.

Q: How to create a .NET client for a wso2 Secure Token Service I need to create a .NET client for a wso2 Secure Token Service.
Normally I would create a simple console or WinForm project adding a Service Reference to it. The exposed WSDL would be turned in a set of classes that I can use to query the service and to properly manage its response.
Unfortunately, the generated request and response classes are empty: just the class declaration without any property or method. This is similar to the behaviour described in this other (unanswered) Stack Overflow question https://stackoverflow.com/q/22049080/2131913
I have found a sample request for the service in this forum post: http://cxf.547215.n5.nabble.com/Sample-STS-Client-tp4643980p4664175.html and I made it to work with SOAP UI.
Is there a proper, and possibly automated, way to recreate the complex data structure needed to query the Secure Token Service?
EDIT
OK, after many tries I have reduced the SOAP request from the above forum post to the minimal structure needed to still get a RequestSecurityTokenResponse from the STS service.

I have obtained a partial success defining in the app.config of my project either a single wsHttpBinding like the following:

The key that allows me to obtain a response from the Security Token Service is that I realized that, in the long term, I will need to operate in a federated security scenario. I don't need the token per se, but I need it to obtain a mean to authenticate to other services.
With this option in mind I started to explore what WCF has to offer for this kind of scenario and I built the following configuration options:
  <wsFederationHttpBinding>
    <binding name="fs">
      <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential">
        <message issuedKeyType="SymmetricKey" issuedTokenType ="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/oasis-wss-saml-token-profile-1.1#SAMLV2.0">
          <issuer address = <!-- STS address here --> binding ="customBinding" bindingConfiguration ="StsBinding"/>
          <claimTypeRequirements>
            <add claimType="http://wso2.org/claims/userid" />
          </claimTypeRequirements>
        </message>
      </security>
    </binding>
  </wsFederationHttpBinding>

The above binding is used to contact the service that needs token authentication while the following adds further instructions about how to contact the security token issuer:
  <customBinding>
    <binding name="StsBinding">
      <textMessageEncoding messageVersion="Soap12WSAddressingAugust2004"/>
      <useManagedPresentation/>
      <security authenticationMode="UserNameOverTransport" includeTimestamp ="true" keyEntropyMode ="ServerEntropy" securityHeaderLayout ="Lax"
                messageSecurityVersion="WSSecurity11WSTrustFebruary2005WSSecureConversationFebruary2005WSSecurityPolicy11BasicSecurityProfile10" >
      </security>
      <httpsTransport authenticationScheme ="Basic"/>
    </binding>
  </customBinding>

With this configuration, and with the help of Fiddler and WCF trace I can see I get a Security Token Response from the STS issuer.
Howevere as I said, in the beginnig, this was only a partial success because WCF infrastructure, when processing the token, says that it has a wrong action... but this can be the subjet of another question ;-)
I hope this can be considered a valid answer although my quest for token authentication is not yet concluded

Author: archaeologist_d
Title: Mischief Part 15 – Selfish
Rating: R for language
Pairing/s: none
Character/s: Merlin, Arthur, Morgana
Summary: Arthur is a terrible person, according to Morgana and Merlin, too. And selfish as hell.
Word Count: 1467 (sorry!)
Camelot_drabble Prompt 483: Secret meeting
Author's Notes: unbetaed,
Disclaimer: Merlin characters are the property of Shine and BBC. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Excited at first, when there was no word from Morgana of a breakthrough in the next few days, Merlin grew increasingly stressed, often hiding under the bed, and when he did come out, he would drag his tail behind him or only chase his toys for a moment or two before he gave up. Arthur couldn't even tempt him with the finest tuna he could find—from someplace called Catcophany where high-end foods for the ever-finicky cat were for sale. A lot of pounds wasted on the little idiot.
Instead, when not hiding, Merlin was on Arthur's lap or falling asleep against Arthur's chest while Arthur petted him, smoothing down his fur and giving him little scritches under his chin or behind his ears. Talking to him, too, reassuring his demon kitten that he loved him just as he was and always would. Reminding Merlin that Morgana was on the case, and she never gave up. Ever.
Arthur wasn't sure Merlin understood or if he did, if he believed Arthur. But it made Arthur unhappy to see Merlin so worried and growing more so every day.
Arthur was just giving Merlin a little kiss on his furry head—not that he'd call it a kiss because it wasn't something a Pendragon would admit to— when Morgana came waltzing in.
Looking like she'd just won the golden ticket to everything she'd ever wanted, as Merlin ran to her, she picked him up and started dancing around.
Merlin looked thrilled, his yowling a mangle of sounds while she chanted something, a melody Arthur had never heard before. But apparently, Merlin had because his singing approximated the notes. Sort of. As much as any cat could carry a tune.
For a second or two, Arthur just stood there, watching them, his heart sinking. He knew he should be happy for Merlin, but he'd never felt such a connection before, not with another person and certainly not with the few pets he'd owned. He was being selfish, and he knew it, and above it all, he knew he should try everything in his power to help Merlin regain his true form.
But damn it, he didn't want to lose his cat.
Still, when they calmed down, Arthur put on a fake smile and said, "So when is the big day?"
"The best time for the spell to work is during a full moon, specifically near Samhain. Then, the veil between the worlds is thinnest and magic flows more easily then. I've talked with the others in my coven, and we've arranged to meet at a place known to the Druids of old, a place where the air is thick with magic and the whole world seems to vibrate. Iselda has the herbs we need and is making the potion as we speak. We believe our combined strength will be enough." Morgana put Merlin down, then.
As Merlin wound his way around Arthur's feet, curling his back and pushing his head into Arthur's leg, Morgana seemed to hesitate, "We have the power and the ingredients, but we need a living vessel, someone through whom the power will gather and then remain until the right moment, and only then will the magic drive itself into Merlin."
"Umm, sounds painful. I assume you have one of your witch friends volunteering or you? Someone with magic?" Arthur didn't like the idea of Morgana being used like that, but he was sure she knew what she was doing. At least, he hoped she did.
"Magical ability is not needed but it has to be someone who loves Merlin," Morgana said, looking at Arthur as if begging him to understand just what she was implying. "It may not work otherwise. They have to have a strong connection. Ordinarily, it would be lovers or a married couple or family, but as far as I know, Merlin doesn't have anyone like that."
As Arthur looked down, Merlin gave out a little meow, sounding as worried as any human, then began to crawl up Arthur's trousers, his claws sharp, grumbling as he did. Arthur finally picked him up and cradled him in his arms.
Merlin's eyes were bright gold in the evening light, with hints of blue lurking there. For the briefest of moments, Arthur wondered if the human Merlin had gold eyes or blue, and then realised that like it or not, he would find out soon enough.
Squirming a little, Merlin seemed to want to stare up into Arthur's eyes, gazing at him unblinking, until finally Arthur said, "I can't read your mind, you little idiot. Although I can always tell when you want dinner."
Merlin nodded, then butted his head into Arthur's shirt for a moment. Wiggling enough so that his hind legs were standing on Arthur's arm, his front paws stretched up onto Arthur's chest, his whiskers were close enough to tickle. But he continued to look at Arthur, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. It was almost as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Finally, when Arthur still didn't understand what Merlin was trying to tell him, Merlin leapt down and grumbled at Morgana.
She sighed, a long annoyed sound, as if Arthur were the idiot and not Merlin. "You have the closest connection to Merlin that we know of. We need you to be the vessel."
Somewhere, deep down inside, Arthur knew it. The day he'd been afraid of ever since Morgana told him that Merlin wasn't merely a cat but a human transformed.
But that didn't mean he was going to go along with it. It was bad enough that he was starting to think magic was real—magic!—, but that didn't mean he was going to be centre stage in some ritual, them making him drink some horrible potion and chanting some voodoo gibberish or other. It could all go horribly wrong. And it would take Merlin from him.
It was too much.
"Find someone else," Arthur said, then gritted his teeth when Merlin began to yowl, and Morgana stared at him like he'd just cut out her heart. "I don't really believe in all this nonsense. Vessels? Magic? Yes, Merlin is an unusual cat with abilities I can't explain but this is too much. I can't even… sorry, I can't."
Morgana looked like she was going to murder him. "I can't believe you'd be so selfish, you prick."
"I am not being selfish but practical. From what I can tell, for magic to work, you have to believe in it and deep down, I just don't. I would be a flawed vessel and it could only make things worse. And I… I don't… I don't want Merlin to get hurt just because I'm not the one he needs."
It was an excuse, and he knew it, but he couldn't admit, even to himself, that he didn't want Merlin to change back. That he wanted to keep his little troublemaker just as he was. It was horrible of him and wrong and it didn't make things any easier knowing that he was being awful. But the remembered loneliness of his barren flat before Merlin came into his life just made his chest hurt.
"Of course, you are the one he needs. For fuck's sake, just look at him and tell him you won't help him." As Arthur looked down at his feet, ashamed of what he was feeling, Morgana spat out, "Because it's not because you don't believe in it, it's because you'd rather keep your cat than do what needs to be done."
Shit, she was more perceptive than Arthur gave her credit for. "Morgana…." He didn't know what else to say but Morgana wasn't having it.
"If you won't help, then fuck you. Come on, Merlin, you're staying with me until tomorrow." She gathered her purse, then scooped up Merlin into her arms.
Looking at Arthur as if he couldn't believe Arthur wouldn't help, Merlin thrashed about, then settling closer to Morgana, he let out a long cry, half noise, half despair.
Arthur didn't want Merlin to go. He reached out for him, thinking to take him back and keep him safe, but Morgana jerked away from him, Merlin still in her arms. "No, it's too late for that. He'll be human tomorrow and damn you to hell for being such a selfish bastard. We'll find a way even if you won't help."
Starting to argue with her, it suddenly hit Arthur. "Tomorrow? Shit, Samhain is tomorrow? And a full moon?"
"Does it matter? Just know that you won't be seeing Merlin again." Glaring at him, she spat out, "You've lost your cat and any hope of being a decent human being."
And with that, she slammed the door and left Arthur alone in his now-empty flat.

Stan Walker says his 'life's falling apart' as he deals with post surgery struggles
Stan Walker has opened up about his struggles after life-saving cancer surgery in a series of intimate Instagram story posts.
The singer says he worked out at a gym for the first time since he had his stomach removed in September, 2017 - and he paid the price for it.
"My body is actually dead," Walker says in the video.
"My body is falling apart, my life is falling apart at this very moment. I am in pain."
Walker's surgery and subsequent health complications were showcased in feature-length documentary Stan, which screened on Three in March.
Although it also catalogued his recovery journey up to his first performance since the surgery, he says it's only this week that he attempted vigorous exercise again.
"I full on worked out for the first time - a proper work out, training, I was kickboxing Muay Thai - for the first time in over a year-and-a-half," Walker says in the Instagram videos.
"I feel like I tore two of my calf muscles. I can't walk, I can't even tippy-toe. Wow.
"I thought, 'oh it's all good to jump in and go hard'. You know, can't breathe and all that sort of stuff. To top it all off, I feel like I've got heat stroke or sun stroke."
Although he is in pain in the video, he also expresses gratitude for being "in paradise".
"If you're thinking, 'Oh, you're weak and a p***y' - yeah, I am. I am. My body is in shock," Walker says.
"My body has just realised, it has to adjust to a whole new life and system of doing things."
Walker appears to be in the Cook Islands in other recent Instagram story posts.

Q: EC2 C Family instances slowing down over time I've got some simulations running on a c4.large Ec2 instance on Amazon AWS. These simulations have iterations which I was able to complete in around 1.5 hours when I first loaded the instance. I was getting around 35-40% CPU utilisation. But after some time the same iteration now takes around 2.75 hours to complete. The CPU utilisation has dropped down to around 18-20%. I have tried the following remedies -

*

*Re-deployed the application on the instance.

*Restarted the application servers

*Rebuilt the environment
None of options made any real difference. The only thing I haven't tried is creating a new environment and deploying that. I'll try that after writing this post. But I wanted to see if others have been having the same issue and they've done or what they can think of regarding my issue.
I was told in another question I'd asked (How to get consistent CPU utilization on AWS) that running instances from the C and M family would allow me to achieve consistent performance. But I can't seem to achieve the same.
Thanks in advance.

A: Okay. Upon looking at some more RDS metrics, I was able to find a metric for CPUCreditBalance on the RDS instance and it has come all the way down. It was high when I first started the simulation. But now it's zero. So the bottleneck wasn't the c4.large EC2 instance. It seems the bottleneck is the RDS instance which is throttling the CPU Utilisation.

The program is designed to offer alternative opportunities for activity and promote and encourage improved health, both physical and mental for students.
Our aim is to offer activities which will engage all students and particularly, the less physically active, or those who are not involved in traditional school sport teams.
The program encourages a whole school approach to health and physical activity.
Success has been achieved in many different ways.
The main one being with the use of our outdoor fitness equipment, which was installed in 2010.
This has been used during lunchtimes and is incorporated into lesson times and after school.
We have also used major sporting competitions to offer similar extra activities at school.
To date more than 50% of our approximately 1,600 students have been involved in extra physical activity outside of their Physical Education lessons.
This initiative has been recognised with Excellence awards for Health and Physical Activity from Australian Council of Health Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.
It was also acknowledged in the areas of Dance and Health for 2011.
In 2009 this project was funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
Its success and effectiveness since then has been made possible thanks to parent donations via the other Approved Requests component of the Contributions and Charges sheet.
With continued support, new activities and opportunities will continue to be offered.

De Santa Maria in Campitelli of Santa Maria in Portico is een kerk ter ere van Maria, gelegen op het Piazza di Campitelli te Rome. De kerk is gebouwd op de restanten van de Porticus van Octavia, waar de tweede naam van afgeleid is.

In de kerk is een 25 cm hoog icoon van de Heilige Maagd te zien, dat dankzij de techniek van dendrochronologie kan gedateerd worden tot de 11e eeuw, hoewel het volgens de legende op mirakuleuze wijze op de tafel van Galla tevoorschijn kwam in 524. Galla was een Romeinse vrouw die de armen hielp. Sinds 590 wordt het icoon rondgedragen tijdens processies. Nog volgens de legende zou het icoon de stad van de plaag gered hebben in 1656 (of 1658), net omdat het rondgedragen werd tijdens processies en getoond werd aan het volk door de straten van Rome. Als dank werd de kerk die er voordien stond vervangen door de huidige, tussen 1659 en 1667 in opdracht van Paus Alexander VII. De kerk werd ontworpen door Carlo Rainaldi in late barokstijl.

De voorgevel is in kalksteen opgetrokken. De zuilen, die er niet aan vast staan, doen het gebouw groter en langer lijken. Oorspronkelijk waren er hier ook nog beelden voorzien, echter deze zijn er nooit gekomen. De relikwieënkast, waar het icoon bewaard wordt, werd gebouwd rond dezelfde periode als het icoon zelf, naar een ontwerp van de Maltese kunstenaar Melchiorre Caffà.

In de zijkapellen zijn werken te zien van Sebastiano Conca en Il Baciccia, alsook een portret van de heilige Anna van Luca Giordano. Voor de kerk staat een fontein gebouwd door Giacomo della Porta.

Kardinaal Bartolomeo Pacca ligt begraven in deze kerk.

Q: Java Timestamp to BigInt for Impala I am reading a text file which has a field in Timestamp in this format "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
I want to be able to convert it to a field in Impala as BigInt and should like yyyMMddHHmmss in Java.
I am using Talend for the ETL but I get this error "schema's dbType not correct for this component"
and so I want to have the right transformation in my tImpalaOutput component

A: One obvious option is to read the date in as a string, format it to the output you want and then convert it to a long before sending it to Impala.
To do this you would start by using Talend's parseDate function with something like:
TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",row1.date)

This parses the date string into a Date type object. From here you can convert this into your desired string format with:
TalendDate.formatDate("yyyMMddHHmmss",row2.date)

Alternatively this can be done in one go with:
TalendDate.formatDate("yyyMMddHHmmss",TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",row1.date))

After this you should have a date string in your desired format. You can then cast this to a Long using a tConvertType component or the following Java code:
Long.valueOf(row3.date)

Or, once again we can do the whole thing in a one liner:
Long.valueOf(TalendDate.formatDate("yyyMMddHHmmss",TalendDate.parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss",row1.date)))

From here you should be able to send this to Impala as a Java Long to an Impala BIGINT field.


I posted a picture yesterday of our sweet kitten, Lucy. She's a cat now really, but you know how long the "baby of the family" gets to retain that position indefinitely. I know cats can be fascinated by TV but it startled me to see it happen with Lucy, and only twice now.
If you don't know who is on the screen, let me introduce you to Jackson Galaxy (rock musician by night and cat whisperer by day). His "educational" TV show is called My Cat from Hell, and he "helps couples resolve conflict and behavioral issues between them and their cats".
Lucy, a typically hyper cat, sat and watched his show for the longest time. Go figure.

Homepage : News : Malaysia and Australia in war-of-words over possible Jerusalem embassy move
Malaysia and Australia in war-of-words over possible Jerusalem embassy move
Malaysian PM Mahathir said that an embassy move would fuel terrorism [Getty]
Date of publication: 18 November, 2018
A growing rift has continued between Australia and Malaysia over Canberra's 'pro-Israel' stance on Jerusalem.
Malaysia, Australia, Palestine, Israel, Jerusalem.
Australia's treasury chief on Friday alleged that Malaysia's prime minister has a history of anti-semitic remarks amid a growing rift between the two countries over Canberra's announcement that it could move its embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"The Malaysian prime minister has form," Australia's Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said in a radio interview. "He has called Jews hook-nosed people. He has questioned the number of people that have been killed in the Holocaust."
Frydenberg's remarks follow the ASEAN summit which took place in Singapore on Thursday, where Malaysian leader Mahathir Mohamad raised the Jerusalem issue with his Australian counterpart Scott Morrison.
Morrison suggested the embassy move in October, triggering outrage from Muslim-majority countries Malaysia and Indonesia.
"I pointed out that in dealing with terrorism, one has to know the causes," Mahathir told reporters following the two leaders' meeting. "Adding to the cause for terrorism is not going to be helpful."
Indonesia, which neighbours Malaysia, has so far stalled a key free trade agreement with Australia in response to Canberra's stance on Jerusalem. Both countries have no official diplomatic ties with Israel.
Earlier in the year, Australia had expressed confidence that the deal would be completed by the end of 2018, however, conceded last week that the agreement was now in Indonesia's hands.
Jakarta has also expressed concern over the embassy review and suggested it might upset plans for a free trade agreement with Australia, though Morrison has said the issues were not conflated during recent talks he had with Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
"It (the FTA) can be signed anytime, but when you will sign it... depends on Australia's position" on the embassy issue, Indonesian Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukito told reporters last week.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi also "stressed that if Australia insists on moving its embassy to Jerusalem, the signing will be delayed", Lukito added.
If Canberra moves its embassy to Jerusalem, it would follow in the steps of President Donald Trump's administration, which turned its back on decades of US policy last December by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital. In May, it moved the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to the disputed holy city.
The decision angered the Muslim world and was seen as setback for Palestinian aspirations for statehood.
Palestinians see east Jerusalem, captured by Israel in the 1967 war, as the capital of a future independent state.
Malaysia 'PM-in-waiting' Anwar Ibrahim wins crucial by-election
Veteran politician Anwar Ibrahim has edged closer to becoming Malaysia's next prime minister after securing a seat in the country's parliament.
Malaysia's ex-deputy PM slapped with 45 graft-related charges
Malaysian opposition leader Ahmad Zahid Hamidi pleaded not guilty to 45 charges levelled against him by a court on Friday.


Don't know much about this pic, just one I 'discovered on Facebook. (If you haven't popped over to the Facebook page yet, it's here…). Both owner and dog look happy… and why wouldn't they! The gingham curtains are a nice touch!
