"Blink and you might miss it." I think those words may have just been coined for The Madrones, located in Mendocino County between Boonville and Philo. Just on my last trip to Mendocino County, I had driven right by it several times and didn't even notice. Yet I think that's part of the ambiance that makes The Madrones what it is: Part tasting room, part boutique shop, part gardens, and part accommodations.

Q: ATtiny85 - Sleep Mode & Interrupts I am working with ATtiny85. I want to put my MCU in IDLE Sleep mode and after every five minutes, I want to write data into EEPROM. I am using Timer 0 overflow interrupt to count 5 mins. Counting will be done in ISR. I have a query here

*

*Does CPU come out of IDLE Sleep mode when timmer overflow interrupt is generated?
In the datasheet, they didn't give Timmer Overflow interrupt as a wake-up source.

void setup() {
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  set_eeprom_default(); // Initialize the EEPROM with default values
  configure_idle_mode(); // Configure idle sleep mode bits
  configure_interrupt_wakeup();
  timer_setup(); // Initialize timer and start timer
  EEPROM.get(Address, timer_count); // Get the value of timer counter
}

void loop() {
  if (timer_count < max_timer_count) {
    enable_sleep(); // Enable Sleep mode. MCU goes to sleep here
  }

  if (is_five_min == 1) { // Update EEPROM value after every 5 min
    update_eeprom();
    is_five_min = 0; // Reset the flag
  }
}

A: Yes, TIMER0 overflow is a wakeup from sleep. Relevant text in Section 7.1.1: "Idle mode enables the MCU to wake up from external triggered interrupts as well as internal ones like the Timer Overflow". Also see Table 9-1 (Reset and Interrupt Vectors). It sounds like you've already declared the TMR0_OVF_vect ISR.
Additionally, enable_sleep does not put the AVR into the sleep mode, it only sets the SE bit in the MCUCR register. You have to call sleep() afterwards to actually put the microcontroller to sleep. Typically, the sequence would be:
sleep_enable();  // Set SE bit
sei();           // Enable interrupts
sleep();         // Go to sleep
sleep_disable(); // Clear SE bit

See the description of this in the avr-libc documentation.

These Three Hearts: Saint Claude de la Columbiere, Saint Margaret Mary Aloocoque, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus
By Margaret Yeo
"My pure love unites forever these three hearts." These were the words spoken to St. Margaret-Mary on Friday, June 21, 1675 by Our Lord as she received Holy Communion from the hands of St. Claude de la Colombière, just after they had knelt together before the Blessed Sacrament and dedicated themselves to serve the Sacred Heart.
This was not the first time, nor the last, that Our Lord had spoken to her. Indeed, most of her life was lived in constant and intimate communion with the Sacred Heart of her spouse. The first time she laid eyes upon St. Claude Our Lord told her, "This is he whom I have sent you. He is My faithful servant and perfect friend."
This book, unlike others about St. Margaret-Mary or the revelations of the Sacred Heart, contains the full story of St. Claude's life and the role that he played in hers and in the task of "making known" the Sacred Heart and the promises made to those who live and promote that devotion.

Tales of an African Vet
by Dr. Rey Aronson
Aronson is a wildlife vet, and in Tales of an African Vet he shares various stories of memorable experiences he's had working with wild animals. These aren't animals held in zoos, but ones roaming free out in the bush. So in order to treat the animals he often had to spend hours searching for them, successfully get them darted so they could be safely handled while asleep, and then monitor them until they woke up again (so they wouldn't get attacked by another predator). Quite an undertaking. Some might say why bother treating a wild lion with an injured eye, or rescuing a baby elephant stuck in the mud? isn't it better to let nature take its course, and allow the hyenas to eat the injured baby rhino (no mother in sight)? But Aronson felt that since the lives of these animals had been altered by humans (they all resided in game parks, their habitat restricted by fences, and often infected by disease or afflicted by stress due to human presence as well) it was only right that he help them out when possible. In some cases it was pretty obvious that humans were to blame for the animals' suffering, as when he tried to treat a lioness with a wire snare around her neck, or a gemsbok ill from the shock of improper handling during transportation from one game farm to another.
I must make a correction. Not all the stories are of creatures roaming wild and free. There are also various animals brought into his vet practice: a pet squirrel monkey, a snake injured by a dog, a hedgehog likewise suffering from a dog bite. He also tells of visiting a crocodile farm, and a fish farm with valued koi suffering from the bends! The stories in Tales of an African Vet are all good reads, engaging and very intriguing, especially when they get into issues of animal conservation. Some of them are sobering- it was dismaying to read about how close cheetahs are coming to extinction for example, and (inevitably) there are a few cases where the animals don't survive treatment. But a lot of them have good outcomes, and positive outlook for the future (he says that wild areas in South African are actually increasing as more and more people who own land privately turn it into game parks or reserves with habitat suitable for wild animals). It's easy to tell which animals are the author's favorites; he gives a lot more description about the elephants and crocodiles than the lions, for example. I enjoyed reading about them all.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

I can't imagine being a vet in Africa. I bet those stories are amazing!
I can imagine wanting to fix up lions -- they are magnificent! -- but I feel like the required bravery/awesomeness equation would be slightly different with a crocodile.
Sam @ The Literary Wombat 4/12/2011
I'd be interested in reading something like this, though they usually just make me angry (at the people who cause the animals to wind up with things like wire snares around their necks!)
It's still nice to hear about up close and personal experience with animals, though (when they aren't being kept improperly in people's backyards & things!)

An entry-level gaming PC in a tiny package.
For years, Intel has sold book-sized PCs called 'NUCs' (Next Unit of Computing). Most of these computers only have integrated Intel HD graphics, but the 'Crimson Canyon' models have discrete AMD Radeon graphics. Right now you can get a Crimson Canyon NUC for just $409.00 from Newegg—$170 below the original MSRP.
The model on sale is equipped with an Intel Core i3-8121U processor, 8GB of LPDDR4 memory, a 1TB hard drive, and AMD Radeon 540 graphics with 2GB of VRAM. The limited amount of video memory means most AAA games probably won't work well, but older titles and e-sports games will be fine.
Intel also includes a bundle of software and games with the NUC, including GRID Autosport, Gas Guzzlers Extreme, in-game content for World of Tanks and World of Warships, and more.
NUCs are great computers if you're limited on desk space, or if you want a home theater PC. The 8th-gen Core i3 processor and 8GB RAM alone make this a pretty good deal for $410—the tiny physical size and Radeon graphics are cherries on top.


The plan was to introduce Liam to his new school in September – when I was still heavily pregnant but extremely mobile. BEFORE his baby brother said hello, world. This was so I could accompany him full day with 100% of my attention during his week of orientation in the hopes that he would settle in his new school fairly quickly.
But of course "murphy" had to happen. With the school's regulations of only taking in 3 new kids / month being filled up for the month of September, we were left with the next best option of starting Liam only in October. It was a double bummer because not only was I not able to spend the entire day at school with him due to nursing/expressing duties, I also had to take him home with me at the half day mark because travelling to & fro amidst confinement massage proved to be too much work .
Liam wailed a fair bit during his first few days at the new school. And each time I heard him wail, I felt an immense sense of guilt. His crying this time round really bugged me, unlike the first time when we first introduced him to the concept of school. Yet despite all that crazy emotions that I felt, I knew that there were more benefits to him being in school playing with his peers and having fun than staying home and getting on everyone's nerves as a result of boredom. We ended his first school week with a fun-date with Ash & a.Sheryl, inviting them to watch The Very Hungry Caterpillar (which was such an awesome, awesome show) with us which thankfully took off some of that "mummy guilt".
After 1.5 weeks of staying consistent despite a few "woe is me" moments and actually allowing him to talk his way out of skipping school for that one time; we managed to establish a routine to how our good ol' days used to be. I managed to stretch his duration at school longer, allowing me to get a lot more things done (strangely that didn't include more sleep). Liam also came home a happy boy, keeping us posted on what he did and learnt for the day.
With Liam's new routine taking flight, I also decided that it was time to start Ollie on his, despite being happily dependent on my nanny. She was going to leave in a week's and in order to minimise chaos (especially now that we were running well with Liam's routine), I needed to start involving my helper with Ollie. We started by observing his current sleep/feed "natural rhythm" which magically coincided with gf's clb suggested routine for his age – leaving us little changes to make which was great. Day by day I would get my helper to run through the sequence of things which were fairly easy to master after some repetition. Eventually Ollie was sleeping and feeding like clockwork…and his night sleeps started stretching longer and longer.
With both boys running on their individual routines, normalcy finally resumed in the household. For the first time in a month, we managed a good dinner without any hair-pulling, yelling, bribing, threatening, imposing time-out moments. What utter bliss. The boys have such a good sleeping system that it allows me to put one to bed with a few minutes to spare before I dream feed the other. It's still undoubtedly exhausting, running from one room to another, but I appreciate that I'm able to attend to both of them…reminding myself that it won't be long before they won't need me to put them to bed.
What another eventful and crazy week it's been. I'm thankful that I detailed down how I coped with Liam during the initial stage as reading back on those accounts absolutely helped in giving me that much needed encouragement and motivation to get started on the routines. How did I managed Liam back then as a first time parent on my own, without a confinement nanny?! Although this time round I've been told by all 3 – bestie BR, Bo & mum that I seem to be in a much happier mood and am recovering a lot faster than the previous round.
I can't believe that Ollie will a month old next week! He's such a milk champ that little fella and absolutely loves bath times. He definitely feels taller and heavier when I nurse him these days. I need to remind myself to take more photos of him before his face changes again. But for this week, I'm thankful that the routines have given me some sanity.

Your pain / My pleasure
Studio Marta is the Drama Theatre of the Theatre Faculty of the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts. Along with the newly opened Theatre on Eagle – musical-dramatic laboratories Janáček Academy – graduating students creates conditions of professional theaters in the realization of art projects in the field of performing arts. The production YOUR PAIN / MY PLEASURE directed by Marika Spruce is already the fourth in the season 2012/2013, in which at Studio Marta graduate students Atelier drama acting under the direction of Nike Brettschneiderová.
The production YOUR PAIN / MY PLEASURE is copyright considerable adaptation of the myth of ancient Greece, which tells the story of the Mycenaean royal house shortly after the conquest of Troy. The fates of the main protagonists of the myth – Electra, Orestes, Agamemnon and Clytemnestra – have become a central theater námětovým material at the very beginning of European drama – in the golden age of ancient theater. In this crucial period of world theater culture dramatic authors proceeded from the same mythological framework, process the same ideas, but specific forms are often content and form differ appreciably. The fate of the Mycenaean throne is extensive story culminating in feuds within a few generations. The production team of students of the Theatre Faculty adapted only a slice of the story – especially puts a spotlight on Elektra, the daughter of the Mycenaean king. Significant dramatic potential Mycenaean myth pervades the work of all three key ancient tragedy – Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, primarily on the basis of these adaptations, we myth survives to this day. For almost two and a half thousand years already Myth family blood provoked a wide range of playwrights and directors, production team effort was to trace this tradition and inspired by the most prominent forms. Text productions prepared Marika Smreková, graduating student of Master Drama director, and Mathias Tenon holes, a graduate of the Bachelor program of Theatre Dramaturgy. Author's text works within quotations with striking adaptations Elektra – especially of the twentieth century (Hugo von Hofmannsthal: Elektra, tr. Pujman Ferdinand and Charles Jernek, GYÜRK László: Electric, my love !, disputed. Francis and George Stier Spot), which connects with other dramatic and non-dramatic texts and sources outside the artistic literature (William Shakespeare: Hamlet, arguing. Martin Hilský, George Orwell: 1984, tr. Eva Šimečková, speech Milos Kopecky IV. Congress of the Association of Dramatic Artists).
The intention of the production team's view on myth, not only from the plane of a breakdown of a family but also a broader view, which shows the social structure, based on which the story is told. In this regard, work on the production team brought to blend with the atmosphere of the ancient theme of literary tradition sci-fi, which represent, for example, George Orwell, Yevgeny Zamyatin or brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.


Another victim of the Zaveri Bazaar blast was shifted to the Critical Care Unit late on Tuesday night.
Sundersingh Bisht, 30, was at Khau Galli for his routine evening snack with his three friends — Ashok Bate, Rajesh Khedekar, Ramesh Khedekar. While Khedekar died on the spot, Bate was the 20th casualty of the blast.

RedSeal Networks provides proactive enterprise security management solutions that continually assess and fortify organizations' cyberdefenses while automating compliance. Its engineers provide global, round-the-clock support, troubleshooting any obstacles to the analysis and improvement of security for some of the largest, most complex networks in the world. RedSeal is experiencing massive growth, and it has lots of data, lots of numbers. Yet, it tracks and reports very little.
Like many support organizations, RedSeal struggles with metrics. "Most of the metrics companies use to manage their teams are based on what they can easily count and control," says Phil Verghis, CEO of DancingE and The Verghis Group. "These metrics give an indication of their capacity and customer satisfaction, but not how successful they made their customers, their employees, or the company. They propagate the focus on busy work instead of doing the right things." RedSeal leaders Vince McCord and Steve Hultquist agree. So they're scrapping what metrics they do have and starting over.
Cinda Daly: What is your customer support philosophy, and what are your goals for customer satisfaction?
Steve Hultquist: I joined RedSeal as an individual contributor, so I have a unique view of how things operated in the past and what's possible today and in the future. Because of what our product is and who our customers are, we have an opportunity to be a leader in how we support them. Instead of a more typical customer support reaction/response approach, our philosophy is based upon the question, "How do we help our customers become successful?" So, if a customer calls with a question, it's not uncommon for us to respond with a question because we want to find out why they're asking that particular question. Perhaps there's a different way or a better way to get them to their goal. Obviously, we have to do that carefully, but that's our focus. How do we become success partners for our customers? It's what I call contagious customer delight. We want our customers to talk to other people about how good we are. We want them to be delighted with the service they get from us and with the way we focus on their success.
Daly: How have you overcome the perception that senior leadership opposes continual improvement programs because of the time and costs involved?
Vince McCord: Steve and Roger Spangler, our manager of customer support, are spearheading this effort to take customer support to a new level. As CFO, my job is to support them. To do that, I've got to view technical support the way I view the rest of the company. That is, as leaders, we've got to be willing to make investments if we want to see this initiative pay off.
At the most fundamental level, we have to be able to answer one question: what is the true total cost of support for our product? We've historically taken a very simplistic (for lack of a better term) approach to cost and margin: maintenance dollars are revenue and we just subtract from that the cost of people and overhead. But we know there's more to it than that. That's why I'll be very interested to see what Roger and Steve come up with.
Hultquist: Ultimately, support's job is to contribute to the organization's goals and profitability. Those are the measures that matter for every group, so we need to understand and interlock with the way finance views the financial side of the business. One of the biggest challenges is the long view. We can't manage support on the basis of quarterly numbers; at the same time, we can't create a support approach that drags on the business. So, how do we create metrics and measures that will allow us to reach this end goal?
Daly: How have you been measuring your effectiveness in delighting the customer?
Hultquist: Things that are easily measured very rarely get us to what we really want. So what are the things we can measure that can actually get us where we want to go? It's tempting to focus on responsiveness. It's not a measure we use, but it is a measure that some customer support engineers (CSE) have internalized and are marching toward. Does this create contagious customer delight? Does it help us understand how the customer defines success? Not usually.
Daly: What steps are you taking to adjust that focus?
Hultquist: We all have to shift our thinking. We're working on defining measures that help us manage week by week, communicate with our stakeholders, and understand when we're making progress toward our goal. We have to analyze the measures we do have, first. Our CSEs are very high-level engineers, and what we need to know is, are they overwhelmed? Are they overloaded? Are we giving them enough freedom and enough time to be able to move in the best direction until we get measures in place that give us more clarity?
Daly: Are you meeting your performance targets using your existing metrics?
Hultquist: We haven't had targets, actually. I moved into this role in the middle of 2012, and my commitment to myself was to observe. I didn't want to measure the wrong things, and I didn't want to reward the wrong behaviors. I didn't want to create habits that would move us in a direction that was counter to what I believe is important. So I asked, "OK, what are we doing? How are people thinking? How can we change their hinking?" The process we plan to follow and the metrics we plan to use will support that shift.
Daly: So, right now, what are your customers saying about your level of support and service?
Hultquist: That's a question that has some of our executive staff a bit confused. Our customers love our support. They believe that we care, and they recognize that our team is very bright, committed, and knowledgeable. We don't get complaints that our support has fallen short, but internally we're concerned about cases that have dragged out or gotten lost. We're working on our systems to make this happen less frequently, but it's a challenge. Our cases tend to be open for days or weeks, sometimes even months.
Daly: It sounds like you get very complex questions.
Hultquist: We do, yes, and these complex questions often have complex answers that require engineering changes. One of the measures we're instituting right now is tracking status requests from customers. That number should be zero. So, any time we get a status request from a customer, it tells me that we've failed; either we didn't successfully communicate an expected response time, or we didn't keep the commitment we made.
Daly: On the one hand, it sounds like when you hear from your customers, they're happy; on the other, you're concerned enough to adopt a completely new approach to measuring effectiveness. What's driving that decision?
Hultquist: We aren't really measuring effectiveness today. There's a temptation to use traditional measures for support, but those traditional measures don't really fit the kind of support we provide.
McCord: We're in a bit of a quandary here. It's the Pareto principle in action, if you will. Twenty percent of our customers are tying up our resources on the technical support side and on the development side, and we're trying to understand what that really means. These customers are the ones that are probably getting the most use out of our products, so the question is, if every customer rose to that level of utilization, would the number of cases (i.e., customers requiring support) increase? Any measures we can come up with that will help us set expectations and make accurate predictions will be extremely beneficial.
At the same time, we need to be able to explain the cost of supporting those customers. Some of our more mature customers have actually helped us make the product better, pushing the product in directions that many of our customers may eventually go. So we can argue that although they're expensive, these customers are actually helping us make investment decisions. Unfortunately, there are others customers who, despite being large companies, don't use our product as often or as extensively. Devoting hours of support time to those customers each week is definitely not profitable.
Daly: It sounds like these changes will result in some real cultural challenges. How do you plan to manage this transition?
Hultquist: It's absolutely a leadership issue. My view is that it's my job to serve this team. Give them vision. Equip them. Align accountability, responsibility, and authority so they can do what I'm asking them to do. All of those components roll into leading this team and helping them understand why this initiative is important. It's really about how we contribute to the overall health of the company moving forward. Customer service and support is an integral component, and my team is responsible for customers. We communicate with them, train them, and support them. We work alongside them as consultants. The whole team is integrated and aligned around these concepts. So the question becomes, how do we measure our success in delivering service and support to our customers?
Daly: Vince, you said you were going to be very interested in seeing what Steve and his team come up with. How are you going to stay involved in the transition?
McCord: I'm very interested in nonfinancial measures, and I'm very happy to see that Steve and his team are focusing on activity-based measures, which give us an indication of our capacity and customer satisfaction, versus outcome-based measures, which tell us how successful we made our customers. But one man's outcome is another man's activity (so to speak). In other words, what they might consider activity-based measures, I might consider causal or driving financial measures. Overall, we should be designing for supportability, so any metrics that measure effectiveness should help us make inroads into the development organization.
Daly: Have you started to identify what some of these new metrics are going to be?
Hultquist: We've been talking about it, but we're struggling with translating high-level measures into something the CSEs can understand. Some of the ideas from our senior leadership are measures like product adoption, speed of product deployment, frequency of product use, extent of product use, and the correlation between the product and the business's core operations. We're still in the first stage of the process (identifying targets and starting points); the next step will be corporate measures. What are the overall metrics we care about as a company? Then we'll drill down for each of our groups.
Hultquist: Absolutely. However, those support management measures will be discussed and measured at the management level; they probably won't be communicated to the support team because I don't want them thinking about them. You get what you measure, most of the time. I want my team to focus on our customers' success. How does a given customer define success? What's going to make customers delighted enough that they'll go home and tell their spouses? What will turn this into a tweet that says, "Holy smokes! I cannot believe how well these guys took care of me!"? That's where I want their heads to be.
Daly: Let's talk about the overall impact on growth, profitability, or retention, all these other big notions you're striving toward. Do you have specific targets in mind?
Hultquist: The whole focus is on business growth, profitability, and customer retention. Contagious customer delight is about business growth. It's about word of mouth. It's about people who stick with us because they know that whatever they bump into, we can help them. But you can't create delight at the expense of profit. We need a measure that warns us, that keeps us from going so far down the path of delight that we bankrupt the company.

The eleven "nations" that make up North America
Apr 20, 2017 1 min read Culture
Business Insider summary American Nations by Colin Woodard:
[A]ward-winning author Colin Woodard identifies 11 distinct cultures that have historically divided the US.
"The country has been arguing about a lot of fundamental things lately including state roles and individual liberty," Woodard, a Maine native who won the 2012 George Polk Award for investigative reporting, told Business Insider.
"[But] in order to have any productive conversation on these issues," he added, "you need to know where you come from. Once you know where you are coming from it will help move the conversation forward."
Not a new article, but relevant nevertheless. I like that Woodard has considered the frontiers of each of the 11 "nations" purely culturally rather than arbitrarily relating them to existing geopolitical borders.
[A]mong these 11 nations, Yankeedom and the Deep South exert the most influence and are constantly competing with each other for the hearts and minds of the other nations.
"We are trapped in brinkmanship because there is not a lot of wiggle room between Yankee and Southern Culture," Woodard says. "Those two nations would never see eye to eye on anything besides an external threat."
Sounds about right.
A bad bargain
"We have to act like citizens again"

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Harrisonburg
Harrisonburg offers a small-town feel alongside diverse arts and cultural opportunities influenced by James Madison University. Harrisburg is located in the Shenandoah Valley, right off Interstate 81 for easy access to cities such as Washington, D.C. (130 miles away) and Roanoke (110 miles away).
In 2017, Forbes magazine listed Harrisonburg as a great place to retire, and the area has 26 assisted living facilities, with five in Harrisonburg for seniors looking to retire with some help. They are licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services to ease residents' activities of daily living and must house at least four residents.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Harrisonburg
The cost of living in Harrisonburg is below average. With 100 being the national average, Virginia scores 107 while Harrisonburg gets 96. Seniors looking for an affordable place in the state could do well in Harrisonburg.
Harrisonburg isn't a place with an abundance of sunny days. The city experiences just 169 sunny days yearly on average. However, it does get slightly below-average amounts of snow and rain, which can encourage seniors to venture outside more.
Air quality is a concern for many seniors because excessive pollution may lead to health complications. The numbers for Harrisonburg are mixed. While it's one of the cleanest areas in the country for 24-hour particle pollution, its annual particle numbers are not as impressive. The American Lung Association ranks it 113 out of 187 metropolitan areas, and it ranks 144 out of 227 areas for high ozone days. Seniors should follow air quality alerts and any guidelines for staying inside when necessary.
The violent crime rate in Harrisonburg is 16.0 compared with the national average of 31.1, while the property crime rate is 34.6 compared with the national figure of 38.1. The relatively low crime rates may ease seniors' minds when they venture out and about.

Area attractions include the Virginia Quilt Museum, the Carrier arboretum and the art galleries at JMU and Eastern Mennonite University. Seniors and their families have much to choose from for a day out.

I believe this is true and am devoted to the collaborative relationship it takes to journey through successful treatment.

My goal is to empower my clients to make sustainable changes in their lives that contribute to their overall health and happiness.

Unnao rape case: Court adjourns hearing on sentence of Kuldeep Sengar till Friday
The CBI sought maximum punishment for Sengar, saying it was a fight for justice of an individual against the system.

NEW DELHI: A day after convicting expelled BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar in the Unnao rape case, a Delhi court on Tuesday deferred its decision on the quantum of punishment till December 20.
While presenting its argument for the quantum of punishment before District Judge Dharmesh Sharma, CBI argued that Sengar must be given a punishment that sets an example.
"In such cases if any leniency is shown towards the convict while awarding the sentence, it sends a wrong message to society," the counsel for the CBI argued.
Meanwhile, Sengar's lawyer argued that he is a poor man and can't afford to pay compensation to the rape survivor.
"Compensation should not be paid by Sengar," the lawyer argued. He also pleaded the court for leniency while awarding the sentence and consider the developmental work done by the former MLA.
On Monday, the court had convicted Sengar for raping the woman in 2017. The court had said the victim's testimony was truthful and unblemished.
Found guilty of raping the woman, Sengar was convicted under the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act for offence by a public servant committing penetrative sexual assault against a child.
Convicted MLA faces disqualification
After being convicted in Unnao rape case, Kuldeep Singh Sengar, the expelled BJP MLA from Bangarmau in Unnao, is facing disqualification from the state Assembly.
Legal experts said Sengar stood disqualified from the Assembly from date of his conviction. Under Constitutional provisions, the Governor will disqualify him.

Q: SSRS 2008 - Expand and Collapse subreports I am dealing learning SSRS 2008. I want to do a report that is a little bit more complex.
I would like to have a row with information about "Object": name, id, description, etc. And I would like to have a + sign in this row, so I can expand/collapse rows that are regarding "Comments" about that object, with columns like "comment", "date", etc.
I first tried the "Grouping" approach, but I got to a dead end because the groups would use the same header.
Now I am trying to tackle it with a subreport.
The first problem I had is that I couldn't find the query designer in VS2008, so I started the SQL Reporter Builder.
Is there any way to use the Query Designer inside VS2008?
Then I created my report and my subreport as different report files, because I thought I would be able to use the subreport properties to select the subreport file and add it, but I was wrong. How can I add it? Do I have to publish it?
I just found out that I can't use the rdl file from SQL Report Builder in Visual Studio (it doesn't recognize the file extension, in VS2008 it is rdlc).
I am basically lost.
Could someone give me some guidance?
Thanks,
Oscar

A: This was asked a while ago but you haven't closed the question so I assume you still need an answer.... Are you looking to add the drill down feature to your report?
http://blogs.lessthandot.com/index.php/DataMgmt/DataDesign/creating-a-basic-drilldown-report-in-ssr-2005
http://www.sqlservercurry.com/2009/08/creating-drill-down-report-with-sql.html
If not... I am confused at what you are looking for and if what you want is really intended to be done in SSRS.
And... are you using subreports because the Object information and the Comment information is on different servers or data sources?  Because it seems like you would want to use grouping for this, and group by the objectID and have the comments below.

Origin: Developed in Germany in the 1960's by first crossing a Chow and a wolfspitz and this was called a wolf-chow. Later a Samoyed was introduced and the breed was renamed Eurasier and was recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club in 1995.
General Appearance: Medium sized spitz type, with wedge shaped head, prick ears, medium bone and bushy tail carried over back.
Coat: The breed is heavily coated, with thick medium length hair, dense undercoat, and harsher top coat. Expect a heavy coat blow/shed at least once per year.
Colours: All colours and combinations of colours are acceptable but never pure white, liver, or with white patches. Nose and lips are black, as are foot pads.
Temperament: Excellent family companion. Calm and even tempered, and may be sensitive and reserved towards strangers. Prefer to have close contact with humans in a family/home setting. They do not do well alone in a kennel situation or confined space. Discipline and training must be kind and gentle, never harsh. Typically are not aggressive towards other dogs and rarely bark.
Training & Obedience: Crate is always a must with puppies. Eurasiers can do well in obedience and agility, but training methods are never to be loud and unkind.
Diet and Exercise: Eurasiers can do well with any good quality kibble, and they are typically good eaters. After 12 months, a once a day feeding will suffice. The Eurasier is a strong long lived dog with few health concerns. They enjoy walks and outdoor controlled exercise but always on a leash or confined. A good dog for joggers or walkers.

Online Bingo Guide - Best UK Bingo Sites & Free No Deposit Bonuses
Bingo is one of the most talked about games in the UK. Or is it that people seem to talk a lot in between games? Arguably both, but what is not up for debate is that the game is huge. Thanks to the internet, bingo suffered an even bigger growth spurt than it did among the chatty ladies and gents who flocked like seagulls around the first bingo halls of Britain.
It is a simple game to play: simply match the numbers on your bingo card with the balls which are drawn by a caller. If you complete the required pattern, you win. When playing bingo online, a random ball generator will pick the balls. Patterns are almost always different within a few hundred games or more, making it truly random and an absolute game of luck.
Your grandmother could probably tell you a thing or two, but you could really surprise her with this knowledge. The origins of the game, surprisingly enough, extend past the first time Edna and Ethel stumbled into a hall in Bradford following a pie and chips. The game which we call bingo actually derives from a precursor in 1530's Italy - "Lo Giuoco del Lotto D'Italia" - which is still going strong.
From there, the popularity of the game increased. In the 18th century, France came up with "Le Lotto", which added to the popularity of such games. From Britain to America, Germany to Ireland, bingo then became such a big deal that it was almost ubiquitous. Thankfully, its simplicity remained. In the US, the game became "Beano" which was a mispronunciation of bingo, and led to a massive interest in the game as a whole.
Before long, there were all kinds of community gatherings - like churches, casinos, and even nursing homes - which went crazy for bingo. In the 2000s, bingo became massive online. It spawned hundreds of online casinos and sites which provided players with numerous ways to play. The sociable aspect of the game transferred perfectly to the online domain and made bingo one of the most searched terms in gambling content.
What is Bingo?
The basics of bingo start with how basic bingo is to play. There is no one out there who has played the game who could argue that it would require a degree in rocket science to understand. The rules are truly simple, so you will never have to waste time sitting down to strategize ways to win. Unlike other games, you do not have to mull over each little detail to keep up with other players. The game is essentially based on unadulterated luck, which means that there are no levels to skills or bingo experts out there.
Things are even easier when you play online. Everything is done automatically, which means that the manual task of buying books, crossing off numbers, shouting out etc. are eliminated. You can opt to manual tick off your numbers online on certain games, but would you really want to?
Although the game is based on luck, there are things which you will need to know in order to get the hang of the game. These basics details help you understand what to expect when you play your first Bingo game. There is little worse than playing a game and having no idea what you are doing...
OK, so the first thing you will need to do to play bingo online is to find a bingo site or casino. You can register at a specific bingo site or opt for a casino which has Bingo games. Of course, you must do your homework to find one which is suitable for the cause.
You should also make sure you understand what you are getting yourself into, and what you will need. Playing bingo is easy and should not require much effort, but you will need to know how to use a computer or device and must be able to navigate a casino's options to find a game. Once you signed up and chosen your deposit method, you can then fund your account.
From here, you select what game you want to play and simply enter the game. There will be a number of different games you can play, which we will cover below. Before playing, try and cross these things off (see what we did there) to give yourself a better chance of easing yourself into the game.
Your Approach to the Game
A great place to start your bingo adventure is to play low-stakes games. This helps to get the hang of how the game works, the look of the site and the game, and some experience you can then take with you into the higher stake games. As time goes on, you might find yourself playing higher stakes for higher prizes. As the only thing that changes here, for the most part, are the prizes, you can find the right stake for your playing needs.
So when you have found your forte, you are free to go ahead and buy your cards and tickets for the game. What you will want is to see your numbers drawn out in a pattern which has been predetermined in order for you to win prize money or other incentives. The best thing about bingo is that the winning requirements are set out from the start, which makes things really easy.
Buying your tickets or cards is also easy online. You can choose the cards yourself, or allow for this to be done randomly, which is faster and more convenient. The number of cards you wish to buy – or if you want them selected on an automatic basis – will be entirely up to you. When it comes to limits on how many you can buy, these are usually listed on the site in a clear and easy to understand format.
Do your chances of winning change if you don't choose your own cards? No, is the answer. Your chances of winning do not change if you decide to have your cards picked at random rather than choosing them for yourself. Although, for the more superstitious among us, this may not be something that you are completely happy doing. The good thing is that you will have the option to do both.
Different types of Bingo
90 Ball Bingo - The most popular version of bingo has 90 balls which are drawn, and Bingo cards in this game have 3 lines and 9 horizontal columns. There are 15 numbers on each card. The first column has numbers 1 to 9, in the second, numbers 10 to 19, so on and so forth.
In summary, 90 Ball Bingo is comprised of:
Balls – 90
Columns – 9
Lines on Each Card – 3
Balls to Hit – 15
80 ball bingo may not be as popular as 90 ball bingo, but it is still one of the favourites. Given that it is more difficult to find on some bingo sites online, it is a nice surprise to find it. there are reasons to consider playing it if you can find it. This is a quicker game as there are fewer balls involved.
The cards are also structured slightly differently. They have 4 columns and 4 lines, which makes up 16 numbers in total per card. There are slight differences between 80 and 90 ball Bingo, but you can easily get the hang of it, like any type of bingo. You can also look up the rules and differences before you play, which can help majorly.
Rows on Each Card – 4
Players in the USA and Canada tend to prefer playing 75 ball bingo. It has recently started to become popular among the UK and European players too. While there are fewer balls, this doesn't necessarily mean that there is less fun. 75 ball Bingo has 5 columns and 5 rows, so you can easily distinguish it from the preceding two games.
Each of the columns is arranged under the name BINGO, so the first set is laid under the B, the 2nd under an I, the 3rd under a G, until you reach the last letter at the end. 75 ball Bingo requires all participants to complete a pattern which corresponds to a particular letter, number or just complete a line.
Is this game more difficult to play? Not really. If you are used to playing other types of Bingo, it may be a novelty to play 75 ball bingo. It can be argued that this is more to do with the look of the cards and how it appears when you are halfway through a game. It is not difficult by any means and can actually be more fun to participate in, which is an incentive in itself.
Balls to Hit – Rules may vary from game to game
Popular in the USA and Canada
Speed is the underlying appeal of 30 ball bingo. The faster versions of bingo are very popular with those who like quick and ready action. There is a chance that you have probably heard of 30 ball Bingo for this reason.
Also known by other names such as Speed Bingo, and Rapid Fire, 30 ball bingo takes less time to play and is pretty hard to keep up with for many players who play the traditional versions of the game. Conversely, bingo novices tend to find fast and direct action appealing. It is truly simple and no-nonsense, can be lots of fun.
Those who play bingo games on the go tend to like speed bingo as it doesn't require a player to provide much in terms of input. It is convenient for these reasons. Playing is made easy, with a card that features 3 columns and 3 numbers, where players shoot to land 9 numbers.
30 ball Bingo is among the fastest games you can play online. It's hyper pace and all-around appeal makes it one of the most popular games out there. 30 ball bingo is also one of the more modern versions of bingo, which means that it may take a little time before it catches on with old Ethel and Edna.
Balls to Hit – 9
Why Play Bingo Online?
Bingo's mass appeal seems to dwarf other games in comparison. Despite bingo's association with old-school ladies nattering away, it is a game which is also loved by men. The game has its charms, it must be said, and easily transfers over to the online platform. In fact, it is hard to think of other games which have as seamlessly made the internet their home quite like bingo.
The game itself is nothing short of simple to play. There is not much required of the player at all, other than buying their cards. While this is up to a player's preference, the number of cards chosen does increase your chances of winning. It also increases the amount of money that you will spend, so perhaps the big takeaway from this guide is that your biggest input is how much you spend.
Finding the right platform to play on will also be a big decision, as this will directly affect your experience. For the abundance of sites and casinos play on, there are some who really push the boat out with the social factor. When you are encouraged to engage in chatrooms to speak with other players, and rewarded for this, it can be a nice touch.
Not all bingo players want to hear people talking or deal with the hundreds of inane comments that pop up. The good news here is that you can find a site where the chat options can be disabled, leaving you in complete silence and not at the behest of over-talkative distractors.
Online bingo is a big deal. There are many who would argue that it is truly the best experience you could hope to have online.

Q: grouping by parameters in postgres sql function and returning column name identical to the parameter I have a query
select count(distinct id), usertype from mytable group by usertype;

which I want to wrap in a function where usertype is a parameter
create or replace function myfun(facet text)
RETURNS TABLE(total_accounts bigint, facet text)

LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
    select count(distinct id), facet from mytable group by facet;
$$;
select * from myfun('usertype');

so that output column name also depends on the parameter I send.
But it shows an error 'parameter facet is used more than once'.
how do I make the output identical to the original query when I pass 'usertype' as a parameter?

A: You can use a dynamic query in a plpgsql function :
create or replace function myfun(OUT total_accounts bigint, INOUT facet text)
RETURNS setof record LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
    RETURN QUERY EXECUTE '
    select count(distinct id),' || quote_ident(facet) || ' from mytable group by ' || quote_ident(facet) ;
END ;
$$;

select * from myfun('usertype');

test result in dbfiddle

How to reduce post-acne pigmentation and scarring
Despite new movements focused on making post-acne hyperpigmentation and scarring less "taboo", such as Dermalogica's #skinindividual campaign which aims to reduce the stigma around acne, the physical and mental marks left by the inflammatory skin condition are still a big concern for Brits.
Research collated from sources including the Happiness Research Institute and the British Journal of Dermatology has shown the impact acne can have on an adult's quality of life, with 44% of people with the condition now suffering with at least one mental health condition.
So, it's easy to understand clients' frustrations when they think they've reached the finish line of their skin health marathon, getting those pesky acne symptoms under control, to then be presented with the long-lasting after effects of the breakout – stubborn red marks, discolouration and scars.
"The number of clients I've seen who tell me they've been everywhere and tried everything, and that doctors and skin therapists have told them they might just have to live with it, is astonishing," says Pamela Marshall, clinical aesthetician and co-founder of Mortar & Milk in Fulham, London. "[The industry] needs to be doing more."
One of the biggest challenges for salons and spas is building trust with clients who may struggle to open up, having grown up in a social media-dominated world obsessed with "perfection". The starting point is educating clients on the causes and differences between post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and acne scars, and how these conditions can be managed with treatment approaches from a trusted professional.
What causes post-acne hyperpigmentation?
One of the biggest misconceptions you might face is clients thinking hyperpigmentation is the same as a scar. "Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) comes from inflammation in the skin," says Marshall. "When the skin is wounded, with an acne spot for example, it inflames and triggers melanocyte production, which can lead to excessive melanin coming to the surface, causing those dark or red marks."
Marshall explains that melanin can also spread to the surrounding area near the injury, meaning it doesn't matter how small or inconsequential the spot is, it has the potential to leave behind a larger mark after the infection has cleared, which could linger for weeks, months or, in some cases, even years.
It's also important to know that darker Fitzpatrick skin types have a higher propensity for increased melanin production when wounded, which means post-acne hyperpigmentation is much more common in clients of colour.
"We all have a similar amount of melanin but in darker skin tones the melanocyte cells are bigger and more active, which is why these clients will hyperpigment more as a result," says Dija Ayodele, founder of Black Skin Directory, an online resource connecting women of colour to expert skincare professionals in the UK.
How can it be treated?
The good news for clients is that post-acne hyperpigmentation can naturally fade over time, but how quickly varies person-to-person. A treatment and homecare routine that helps them achieve skin health will aid the process, using the right ingredients to boost cell turnover without causing excessive inflammation or damage to the skin's barrier function.
"In clinic, we often start with a lower pH peel and give clients products to use at home to increase skin hydration and barrier function, then we move on to microneedling, which is excellent for forcing skin to remodel itself by building new collagen and elastin," says Marshall. "I also tell clients not to use AHAs more than once or twice a week because used too often they can interfere with a healthy skin barrier function, causing inflammation."
Niacinamide and certain mushroom extracts are also good at reducing pigment, while vitamin C is cited as another wonder ingredient, "as it's a natural way to fade red and dark marks and rejuvenate skin's clarity," explains Dr Howard Murad, founder of the eponymous brand.
"Retinol can also help stimulate cell renewal and improve texture." Using sunscreen daily is also crucial because UVA and UVB rays can make discolouration of hyperpigmentation much worse.
All the experts recommend taking photos of your client at every step of their treatment journey, which you can show them if they're feeling disheartened with the speed of the results. "Clients look at themselves in the mirror every day so they don't always take into account the changes that are occurring," adds Ayodele.
"Having these photos in your arsenal means you can show them exactly how much they've progressed, while explaining that if the condition took X amount of time to form then it will take time to clear. It's about managing expectations. Don't promise flawlessness, promise to improve the appearance of their condition."
What causes acne scarring?
Adult acne can also leave scars, which most commonly occur when the serious types of spots (nodules and cysts) burst and damage the nearby skin. "A scar refers to a dent or change in the skin structure due to loss or excess accumulation of the skin's scaffolding proteins after severe inflammation from a healing breakout," says Candice Gardener, digital education manager for skincare brand Dermalogica.
Acne scars also come in different types, with the most common being ice pick, which appear as small, deep holes that look like the skin has been punctured with a sharp object; boxcar, round or oval depressions or craters; and rolling, caused by bands of scar tissue that form under the skin, giving it an uneven, "rolling" appearance.
"People with bad acne scars can feel very self-conscious and often end up going to great lengths to hide them. The situation can be made worse if that person feels like they are being stared at," says Esther Fieldgrass, founder of clinic chain EF Medispa. "Therefore, you need to communicate a realistic outcome to the client, which you always aim, but can never promise, to exceed."
Fieldgrass recommends microneedling, derma stamp, laser and specialised peels as effective scar treatments to help to rebuild the dermal scaffolding and plump out the skin, but warns to be mindful of the client's skin type and medical history, including contraindications like keloid scarring.
Marshall agrees a cautious approach is best. "For boxcar scarring, for example, I use microneedling infused with hyaluronic acid and then let it heal for at least six weeks, putting the long-term health of the skin above anything else," she says. However, if the scar is a particularly deep, textural one then it may be worth referring the client to a specialist.
"It's about getting the best outcome for your client. I sometimes do referrals to dermatologists who can inject in and around those scars with fillers to plump up the skin and give a smoother canvas, so to speak. I think knowing when to refer makes you a better therapist," adds Ayodele.
Vitamin A taken orally, topically and in treatment can also help reduce scarring, explains Tracy Tamaris, director of education at the International Institute for Anti-Ageing (IIAA), which distributes skincare brand Environ. "Skin that is vitamin A-deprived will become less active and damage to DNA will not be repaired, which means melanin distribution will be irregular and collagen and elastin production will decline with poor-quality production."
The success of the client's skin journey will rely on their homecare and lifestyle choices as much as the in-salon treatments. "One way to deal with acne scars is to help prevent their appearance in the first place – clients need to know that picking at the skin leads to scars and that sun exposure can aggravate them," says Murad.
When advertising your services, use a selection of before-and-after photos on different types of acne scarring so people can see "real" results. "It's [about] not letting the condition affect the [client's] confidence or self-worth," explains Murad.

CONSENT: Background and links about initiatives to obtain user content for collecting data and personalization
Consent data — a signal or flag that goes from the publisher site to the ad exchange — has been given a catchy name by the proposed IAB Framework: a Daisybit.
IAB's Transparency and Consent Framework
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION IS HERE:
https://github.com/InteractiveAdvertisingBureau/GDPR-Transparency-and-Consent-Framework
Here is the technical specification for public comment for IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework that will help the digital advertising industry interpret and comply with EU rules on data protection and privacy – notably the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into effect on May 25, 2018.
Law firm Wilmer Hale's comments on the IAB framework:
http://www.espcoalition.org/sites/default/files/news-items/IAB%20Tech%20Lab_s%20GDPR%20_%20ePrivacy%20Technology%20Town%20Hall_%202.21.18_%28166770364%29_%281%29.pdf
https://www.exchangewire.com/blog/2018/03/09/79318/
According to the IAB, the framework includes technical specifications that will allow companies and consumers to have greater control over, and dynamic insight into, the parties who access and process the personal data of consumers in the EU. The framework also contains a vendor list that details the third parties who are accessing data, as well as a set of guidelines aimed at standardising the use of data obtained from users in the EU.
