In software engineering, sort transformation, sort throwing, and sort intimidation are distinctive methods for changing an element of one information sort into another. A case would be the transformation of a whole number an incentive into a gliding point esteem or its printed portrayal as a string, and the other way around. Sort transformations can exploit certain highlights of sort chains of importance or information portrayals. Two essential parts of a sort transformation is whether it happens verifiably or unequivocally, and whether the basic information portrayal is changed over from one portrayal into another, or a given portrayal is only reinterpreted as the portrayal of another information sort. As a rule, both primitive and compound information sorts can be changed over.
Each programming dialect has its own principles on how sorts can be changed over. Dialects with solid writing regularly do minimal understood change and debilitate the reinterpretation of portrayals, while dialects with frail writing perform numerous verifiable transformations between information sorts. Frail writing dialect frequently permit compelling the compiler to discretionarily translate an information thing as having diverse portrayals—this can be a non-clear programming mistake, or a specialized technique to straightforwardly manage basic equipment.
In many dialects, the word intimidation is utilized to indicate an understood change, either amid aggregation or amid run time. For instance, in an articulation blending whole number and gliding point numbers (like 5 + 0.1), the compiler will consequently change over whole number portrayal into coasting point portrayal so parts are not lost. Unequivocal sort transformations are either demonstrated by composing extra code (e.g. including sort identifiers or calling worked in schedules) or by coding transformation schedules for the compiler to utilize when it generally would stop with a sort confound.
In most ALGOL-like dialects, for example, Pascal, Modula-2, Ada (programming dialect) and Delphi, change and throwing are unmistakably unique ideas. In these dialects, transformation alludes to either verifiably or unequivocally changing an incentive starting with one information sort stockpiling group then onto the next, e.g. a 16-bit whole number to a 32-bit number. The capacity needs may change because of the transformation, including a conceivable loss of exactness or truncation. The word cast, then again, alludes to expressly changing the elucidation of the bit design speaking to an incentive starting with one write then onto the next. For instance, 32 adjoining bits might be dealt with as a variety of 32 booleans, a 4-byte string, an unsigned 32-bit number or an IEEE single exactness gliding point esteem. Since the put away bits are never showed signs of change, the developer must know low level points of interest, for example, portrayal design, byte request, and arrangement needs, to genuinely cast.
In the C group of dialects and ALGOL 68, the word cast regularly alludes to an unequivocal sort transformation (rather than a verifiable change), causing some uncertainty about whether this is a re-translation of a bit-design or a genuine information portrayal change. More critical is the huge number of ways and tenets that apply to what information sort (or class) is situated by a pointer and how a pointer might be balanced by the compiler in cases like protest (class) legacy.

Therefore, I want to transgress my usual personal health theme and discuss the concept of workplace wellness.
One of the greatest stressors in many of our lives is money and the pursuit thereof, aka our jobs or businesses. Spending eight hours a day (or more) in the wrong environment can create unhealthy levels of stress that can manifest negatively in all areas of your life.
Stress causes the release of the hormone cortisol, which causes a plethora of serious health problems including heart disease, weight gain and depression. Needless to say, this condition can quickly lead to lost production and profit, both personally and professionally.
Working in a culture that fosters personal growth, rewarding accomplishments and alignment with your passion makes the workweek feel a lot less like work and more like fulfilling fun.
Health at work translates into healthy bodies and healthy homes. Imagine coming home from work in a great mood, with a sense of accomplishment, while feeling appreciated for your efforts. Wouldn't that make for a more pleasant discussion around the dinner table?
There are many components that are important to both personal and corporate health, but I've narrowed the list down to seven key factors.
Systems: from tying your shoe to launching a rocket at NASA, proper procedures and strategies are important.
Engagement: being actively engaged in relationships, teams and the workforce play a huge role in your success and happiness.
Relationship Building: virtually everything you need to accomplish your goals in life depends on relationships with others.
Vision and Leadership: whether it's being a good role model to your kids or leading a Fortune 500 company, leadership is paramount.
Information Technology: embrace it or get left in the Stone Age!
Cash Management: personal checkbooks and billion dollar corporations must both have good accounting and budgeting.
Exceeding Expectations: the common denominator to making your spouse happy and keeping your job!

Of all the problems weighing on natural-gas pipeline operator Energy Transfer Partners, one of the most frustrating has been its lack of dividend growth.
Like other master limited partnerships, Energy Transfer (ticker: ETP) pays out most of its cash flow as dividends, or distributions. The company, which processes, stores and transports natural gas, hasn't increased its quarterly payment since 2008 – bad news in an industry that's all about total returns.
But after falling 8.4% over the last 12 months to roughly $44, the units (as MLP shares are called) are priced as if investors will never see another dividend hike. Yet Energy Transfer should start increasing its distribution this year as it reaps rewards from construction projects, acquisitions and joint ventures.
Sources: Thomson Reuters, Yahoo! Finance and Madison Williams & Co.
Many analysts are leery about Energy Transfer Partners' agreement to pay $2 billion to purchase the 50% stake in Florida pipeline owner Citrus from Energy Transfer Partners' general partner, Energy Transfer Equity (ETE), amid worries that ETP will need to sell units to raise capital.
But while patient investors wait for greater distributions, they get an 8% dividend yield.
"It's a high income name with growth potential and a low valuation," says Alan Lancz, founder of the Toledo-based wealth management firm Alan B. Lancz & Associates. "The Street's expectations are null. But there is a good chance [ETP] can surprise on the upside."
So far, skeptics reign. Energy Transfer's returns including yield are a minus 1.7% over the past 12 months, lagging the 12% return by the Alerian MLP Index.
But Elvira Scotto, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets, is optimistic. She sees Energy Transfer hitting $54 in the next 12 months and thus upgraded the stock to Outperform last week, citing improved cash flow from expansion projects and acquisitions in her report.
Founded in 1995, Energy Transfer Partners owns natural-gas pipeline operations in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Utah, West Virginia and the largest intrastate pipeline system in Texas. It also treats, processes and stores natural gas, and sells propane.
The intrastate pipeline system in Texas is its bread and butter, generating just under half of Energy Partners' 2010 adjusted Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation and amortization).
Those operations have been hurt by low natural-gas prices and the collapse of price discrepancies among it Texas market hubs.
The company has invested heavily over the years to expand its fee-based cash flow. According to some estimates, between 2003 and 2010, Energy Transfer spent $8 billion on pipeline development and expansion, as well as acquisitions and joint ventures.
Late last year, the company completed two major interstate pipeline construction projects – the Fayetteville Express and the Tiger Pipeline. The cash flow from these projects should boost Energy Transfer's interstate pipeline operations by 2012 to about one-quarter of Ebitda, says Mark Reichman, an analyst with Madison Williams & Co.
And Energy Transfer Partners isn't done buying or building.
This year it could spend $2.3 billion on acquisitions and capital projects, says Selman Akyol, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus. That includes Energy Transfer's portion of a $1.9 billion joint venture with Regency Energy Partners (RGP) to buy a pipeline and liquid natural-gas storage and processing facilities located in Texas and other assets from Louis Dreyfus Highbridge Energy.
These projects should help fuel growth in distributable cash flow, a measure of cash available for distribution to shareholders or to fund growth.
Madison's Reichman sees distributable cash flow rising 6% to $3.81 per unit in 2012. And he sees the distribution rising to $3.72 per unit next year, a 7% jump over the $3.57 per unit paid in 2010.
The stock, meanwhile, is cheap at 8.7 times enterprise value to 2012 Ebitda, roughly a 30% discount to the Alerian MLP Index.
Worries about Energy Transfer's acquisition of Citrus will remain an overhang until investors are convinced it can add to cash flow. The deal is not a sure thing, contingent on general partner Energy Transfer Equity's closing its proposed acquisition of Southern Union (SUG), which got delayed by a bidding war with rival Williams Cos. (WMB).
But with so much doubt baked into the unit price and one of the industry's highest dividend yields, Energy Transfer Partners doesn't face much downside risk.
If it can capitalize on growth opportunities, Energy Transfer Partners could provide portfolios with a nice jolt.
• RBC Capital Markets and/or one of its affiliates had an investment-banking relationship with Energy Transfer Partners in the last 12 months, according to a research report published on Sept. 9, 2011. RBC has an Outperform rating on Energy Transfer Partners.
• Madison Williams & Co. and/or one of its affiliates had an investment-banking relationship with Energy Transfer Partners in the last 12 months, and according to a research report published on Aug. 19. The firm expects to receive compensation from Energy Transfer Partners for investment-banking services in the next three months. Madison Williams has a Buy rating on Energy Transfer Partners.

Michael Giacchino (Phase 1)
Dan July 9, 2017 Websites
Since I've started freelance web design back in 1998, a majority of my clients have been composers. It's not often, however, that I get a chance to develop a website for a critically acclaimed Oscar-winning composer who is on the shortlist for nearly every major project. And so it was that I built a website for Michael Giacchino. Working fast, this site was just "Phase 1" of a larger project that will extend into the fall.
The design of the site went through an evolution; at one point I had actually taken photos for texture and color elements from Michael's home studio, but it was decided to go simpler than that. With two major features coming out in July (Spider-Man: Homecoming and War for the Planet of the Apes), we wanted to get something launched quickly – a basic site with an official bio, some news, concert information, and a slideshow. There's a major birthday celebration at Royal Albert Hall in October coming up, we'll be working hard to get Phase 2 launched in September which will have a lot more content. Stay tuned!

Martial Brigouleix, né le  à Ambrugeat (Corrèze), est un militant socialiste, résistant français, Compagnon de la Libération, fusillé le  au Mont-Valérien.

Biographie
Martial Brigouleix est né le  à Ambrugeat (Corrèze) en France.

En 1920 il entre à l'École normale de Tulle. En 1923 il est élève officier de réserve.

En 1924, il est nommé sous-lieutenant et affecté au  de tirailleurs à Verdun. La même année, il est également nommé professeur de français et d'histoire-géographie à l'École militaire préparatoire technique de Tulle.

Socialiste et Franc-Maçon il est l'un des fondateurs de La Voix Corrézienne.

Seconde Guerre mondiale

De 1939 à 1943
En septembre 1939, il commande la 5è compagnie du  RI de Brive. Pendant la drôle de guerre, il est en opération en Alsace.

En  il combat dans l'Aisne, bat en retraite et ramène les survivants de sa compagnie jusqu'en Haute-Vienne.

En , il est cité deux fois pour son courage, est nommé capitaine et est démobilisé.

De retour en Corrèze il reprend son poste à l'EMPT de Tulle.En 1941, il est révoqué par le régime de Vichy, en raison de son appartenance à la franc-maçonnerie.

Action dans la Résistance
En 1941, à Brive et à Tulle, avec Edmond Michelet, ils vont structurer les premiers groupes de résistance du mouvement Combat. Il devient secrétaire à la chambre des métiers et se consacre à l'organisation de la Résistance intérieure française. En 1942, sous le nom de Beaudouin, il dirige, les premiers groupes de l'Armée secrète (AS) en Corrèze dont il devient le chef départemental.

Fin 1942, il prépare, avec l'aide de Pierre Souletie et d'un agent de l'Intelligence Service, les plans d'investissement de Tulle et d'action insurrectionnelle. Les armes étant insuffisantes pour armer les 19 compagnies de Résistants, ils font homologuer des terrains de parachutage par la RAF.

Le , un Avro Lancaster parachute, près de Chamboulive 5 containers de mitraillettes Sten avec leurs munitions, Martial Brigouleix les faisant ensuite transporter à Tulle.

Arrestation
En , la Milice, demande son arrestation au préfet qui refuse. Martial Brigouleix envisage alors de passer dans la clandestinité mais, le , la Gestapo l'arrête sur son lieu de travail.

Le  il est emprisonné à la prison de Limoges et mis au secret pendant presque trois semaines durant lesquelles il est torturé, mais il ne parle pas. Le , il est transféré au fort de Romainville.

Exécution
Le 27 septembre, un officier allemand est abattu à Paris. En représailles les nazis exigent que 50 otages soient fusillés. Le , il est exécuté au Mont-Valérien.

Il est inhumé au carré militaire du cimetière parisien de Bagneux dans les Hauts-de-Seine.
 : Mentionné Mort pour la France.

We know Prince grew up in Minneapolis — but where, exactly? In what house or apartment did he tap out his first tune, and where, exactly, did he flourish when his father moved out and he was free to play piano whenever he wanted? Even if you think you know, you might be wrong. We were.
Update 2/26/19: This post has been updated to reflect new information from a City of Minneapolis music history report.
New research from the Minnesota Department of Transportation has provided key insights into Prince's movements during his early years in Minneapolis. Wait — MnDOT? That's right. Kristen Zschomler is a historian with the state agency, and she's been looking into Prince's early history with an eye towards preserving potentially significant properties.
The Star Tribune wasn't the only publication that thought Prince lived on Newton Avenue as a child: my own rundown, on this very blog, of the properties Prince owned when he died also identified 539 Newton Ave. N. as Prince's childhood home. Nope — at least, it's not where he lived at age seven.
So where did Prince live at age seven — and eight, and nine, and ten, and so on? Drawing on archival records and interviews, with input from The Current's Andrea Swensson, Zschomler has established the following timeline of where Prince lived as a child.
Prince's parents, Mattie Della Shaw and John Lewis Nelson, married Aug. 31, 1957 in Northwood, Iowa. Yes, Iowa.
On June 7, 1958, Prince was born at Mount Sinai Hospital in Minneapolis. The hospital, closed in 1991, has since been renovated and now contains an addiction recovery center.
When Prince was born, his parents lived at 2201 5th Ave. S., Apt. 203. Just a few blocks from the hospital where Prince was born, the building now faces the I-35W freeway wall. The family remained here until the end of 1958.
On New Year's Eve 1958, when Prince was still a baby, his parents moved to 915 Logan Ave. N. The family lived here when Prince's sister Tyka was born on May 18, 1960. The house Prince's family occupied was later demolished; the house now standing at this address was built in 1995.
Numerous sources indicate that Prince started playing piano as a very young child, so it seems likely that it was here that he had his very first experiences playing music.
On March 25, 1965 — when Prince was seven years old — his parents purchased this house, at 2620 8th Ave. N. They retained ownership of the Logan Avenue house.
Records indicate that from 1966 to 1968, the Logan house was occupied by people under the name of Fleming: renters from the Nelsons. In 1969, though, John Nelson (Prince's father) is double-listed as occupying both the 8th Ave. house and the Logan Ave. house. On Aug. 1, 1970, the Logan Ave. house was sold.
The family moved to the 8th Ave. house in 1965. The Flemings then moved into the house on Logan as renters. In 1970, Mattie remarried, to a man named Hayward Baker, and that couple continued to reside at 8th Ave. N.
Living here from 1965 to 1971 or 1972, Prince first took a serious interest in music and began to develop his piano skills. Both his sister Tyka and his cousin Charles "Chazz" Smith remember Prince playing the piano avidly here, and while there's no firm evidence regarding any particular songs the young prodigy might have written here, this is certainly where he began developing his chops.
After Prince moved out, his mother and stepfather continued to live here until 1985, when Prince bought a house for them in Golden Valley.
From 1970 through 1972, Prince's father was listed in city records as living at 1707 Glenwood Ave., Apt. 105. This building also still stands today.
In interviews, Prince talked about disagreeing with his new stepfather — Hayward — and asking to go live with his dad. André Cymone, who befriended Prince in the early 1970s, has memories of Prince going to his dad's apartment. John started looking for a house to buy because this bachelor apartment didn't have enough room for both father and son.
Finally, the story makes its way to Newton Avenue. In 1972, the Barbergs sold this house to Prince's father. André Cymone also remembers hanging out with Prince here, and John lived here until the mid-1980s — when Prince, by then a superstar, upgraded from his purple lakeside house in Chanhassen to a larger Chanhassen house and allowed his dad to move into the purple house.
Prince just lived on Newton Avenue with his father for a short time; no more than a year passed before he and John had a falling out and Prince moved out.
John Nelson died in 2001. At the time of Prince's death, he owned the Newton Avenue house, and his sister Tyka has listed that house as her address in probate filings.
Between living with his father and moving in with his friend André (see below), Prince spent some time living with his aged aunt Olivia at 3837 4th Ave. S. — probably for convenience while he attended Bryant Junior High School in South Minneapolis, and to get some distance from his father when relations were strained. For reasons including his developing music career and tight Northside ties, Prince ultimately left his aunt's and moved in with André.
If you had to pick a birthplace for the Minneapolis Sound, you might very well point to the basement of this house, where Prince and André jammed and formed their first band together with Prince's cousin Chazz. Next door at their bandmate Terry Jackson's house (1248 Russell), Morris Day successfully auditioned to be their new drummer, and rehearsals would bounce back and forth between the two properties.
Whether or not they ultimately receive any official designations, every property on this list was part of Prince's history-making story.
Please note. Prince was born June 7, 1958 so the reference to Prince living at 915 Logan Avenue New Year's Eve of 1958 (as a baby), was not possible. He wasn't born yet.
Prince was born June 7, 1958. His Mom was pregnant with him New Years Eve of January in 1958.
Wrong. If Prince was born on June 7th, 1958, he would, in fact, have been a baby on New Year's Eve of of 1958 – because that date would have been 12/31/58.
New Year's EVE is never in January. It is in December.
Your right. Sorry I was thinking December 1957/January 1, 1958! Should have known better…I was born March of 1958!
Great catch! I've updated the post to reflect this information. Thanks for sharing!
This is why we are working so hard to have Paisley Park designated as a National Historic Landmark. Please see our petition https://www.change.org/p/barack-obama-designate-prince-rogers-nelson-s-paisley-park-as-a-national-historic-landmark and sign. We are working closely with National Park Services and Minnesota Historical Society. This article has been very helpful to us. Thank you!
The Phillips Eye Institute was built next to and connected to Mr Sinai Hospital, and still exists. Most of the Mt Sinai Hospital structure still exists, but has converted to other uses after the hospital closed. Mt Sinai Hospital was built because Jewish doctors were not allowed to practice, or to have privileges, at existing private hospitals in Mpls, at that time when Mpls was a notorious hotbed of anti-semitism. Not sure about Hennepin County General Hospital (then Mpls General and Jewish doctors.) How interesting that this research comes from MNDOT whose inner city freeway projects did so much to destroy south and north Mpls, and especially the black community in St Paul's Rondo neighborhood which dedicates the Rondo Plaza next week.

The Cardinals were well out of any playoff picture and had already clinched a winning season, so normally the last couple of games would have been exhibitions to rest starters or a chance for the hometown fans to say goodbye. This season, though, there was something else in the cool September air.
Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa came into the Saturday game of their final series knotted at 66 home runs apiece as the epic home run race headed for its denouement. As noted last time, the Cubs were in Houston, back in those glory days when the Astros were a National League team. Sosa would go two for four to raise his season average to .306 but none of those hits would go for extra bases. McGwire, now that's a different story. (And, by the way, you can watch the entire game here on YouTube.)
Dustin Hermanson and Manny Aybar matched up in this one. Hermanson, of course, would be traded to the Cardinals before the 2001 season with Steve Kline for Fernando Tatis, who started at third for the Cards in this one, and Britt Reames in a deal that was made mainly to free up a spot in the future for a young third baseman in the minor leagues. (No one really thought that Albert Pujols would actually claim that spot in 2001, but with an excellent spring and McGwire in his corner, he did just that.) I still remember finding out about that deal when Hermanson posted the news in an Expos forum on BaseballBoards.net, where I was a member and active participant on the Cardinals side. (The Expos board also came up with a game called YNOT, which is the forerunner of the Cardinal Six.) BaseballBoards was the place I first had to pick out a handle–it kinda stuck.
Long, rambling, uninteresting history aside, Aybar and Hermanson hooked up for a pitcher's duel to start this off. Aybar gave up a one-out single to Terry Jones but otherwise was unscathed through the first. Hermanson gave up a one-out triple to J.D. Drew, but struck out McGwire and Ray Lankford to quell that threat.
Save for a couple of threats–such as a one-out triple by Wilton Guerrero in the top of the third, snuffed out by getting Jones to strike out and Fernando Seguignol to ground out–the game quickly moved along until we reached the bottom of the fourth. Drew tried to reach in front of McGwire by bunting his way on, but Hermanson was able to snag it and easily retire the rookie. McGwire was up next and took Hermanson's first pitch right into the seats in left, taking over the home run lead for the final time.
That put the Cards up 1-0 but they weren't done with the inning yet. Lankford followed #67 up with a walk and Hermanson, perhaps still rattled by being a part of history, then saw Ron Gant double him in. Tatis, facing the man he would be traded for, drew another walk to put runners on first and second. While Luis Ordaz was up to bat, Gant went ahead and snagged third base to put runners on the corners, which meant when Ordaz grounded out, Gant scored to put the Redbirds up by three.
That lead didn't last long, though. Shane Andrews led off the top of the fifth with a home run and even though the Expos didn't score any more there, the seal had been broken. The Cardinals didn't get anything in the bottom of the inning as Drew's two-out walk was wasted when McGwire flew out to center field.
Five innings of one run ball probably was about as much as you could expect from Aybar, but with nothing really to lose Tony La Russa let him go out there and start the sixth. Jones and Seguignol singled and Aybar was able to get Vladimir Guerrero to pop out, but TLR wasn't going to let him go any further. Bryan Eversgerd came in and got his man, getting Michael Barrett to fly out, and then La Russa went back to the pen to bring in Mark Petkovsek. Petkovsek didn't have the same luck, hitting Bob Henley to load the bases. Andrews then came up and popped up a 2-1 pitch, but Tatis dropped it, allowing the first two runners to score and leaving Expos at second and third.
Orlando Cabrera walked to load the bases up again and the father of the modern bullpen had seen enough. Lance Painter came in and faced a pinch-hitter for a pinch-hitter in F.P. Santangelo, currently a Nationals broadcaster. Santangelo wasted no time, singling on Painter's first pitch to bring in two and put the Expos on top 5-3. With the lesser Guerrero up next, Painter's pitch got past Eli Marrero, allowing Cabrera to score and put Montreal up by three. Finally Guerrero grounded out, ending the nightmare.
The good thing about the '98 Cardinals, as we've said often, is that they were never really out of a game. They didn't score in the sixth and the Expos were quiet in the top of the seventh, but thunder was coming. Placido Polanco and Marrero were retired to start the bottom of the seventh, but Super Joe McEwing made sure that things didn't end too quickly with a double to center field off of current Cardinal pitching coach Mike Maddux, who had come into the game in the bottom of the sixth. McEwing's double ended his night as Felipe Alou went to his bullpen to bring out Tim Young to try to get out the lefty Drew. That didn't go according to plan as Drew singled, plating McEwing to make it 6-4 and bringing the tying run to the plate. And what a tying run it was.
Alou didn't want Young to have to deal with that and so he brought in Kirk Bullinger. McGwire took Bullinger's first two pitches, a strike and a ball, to get a feel for the reliever. He must have liked what he saw because he smoked Bullinger's pitch to center field, carrying his bat aloft in victory.
McGwire's latest home run make it six-all. Lankford tried to keep the rally going by singling and stealing second, but Gant flew out to left to end the threat.
Jeff Brantley came into the game in the eighth, which is usually a sign that things are going to get very bad, but he actually did a fine job. He walked Ryan McGuire to start the inning but got Henley to ground into a double play. Unfortunately, the Cards couldn't capitalize in the bottom of the inning and things moved to the ninth and Mike Busby.
Busby got in trouble immediately with yet another triple, this one of the leadoff variety and by Cabrera. Scott Livingstone came in as a pinch-hitter and doubled in Cabrera, putting the Expos up 7-6. Livingstone was left stranded but the run stood up when McEwing grounded out, Drew struck out, and McGwire, with the chance to tie the game in his grasp, instead grounded out to third.
With a two-homer lead over Sosa, it felt almost certain that McGwire would be home run king. The odds of Sosa hitting three home runs in one game, especially a game that mattered (and as such could see Houston pitching around him) were remote. However, this story still had one more chapter left to write.

START-UP – In September 1997 Graham started Graham Paddock & Associates (GPA) from his home in Rondebosch. In addition to doing real property work, he lectured real property and sectional titles law to undergraduates and masters students at the University of Cape Town (UCT) and published the Sectional Title Survival Manual. In 2003 GPA moved to the Standard Bank Centre in Cape Town. Graham's wife Mandy, secretaries and professional assistants, supported him in the business.
GOVERNMENT WORK AND ONLINE UCT COURSES – In 2004 GPA won a tender to assist the government in revising the Sectional Titles Act and to draft legislation for an Ombudsman service. GPA also commenced delivery of UCT's first online certificate short course, the UCT Sectional Title Scheme Management short course. As far as we know, this was the first online university course in South Africa. In 2006 GPA moved to Ingle Road, Claremont.
GROWTH OF FAMILY BUSINESS – Graham and Mandy's three children joined the business, Sam in 2006, Robert in 2007 and Jennifer (who did her legal articles) in 2008. The growing business moved to Douglas Murray House, Protea Road, Claremont, where it stayed for two years, and then moved to Park Road, Rondebosch, by which stage it had more than 20 employees.
PADDOCKS AND GETSMARTER – In March 2008 GPA was re-branded as "Paddocks". Shortly thereafter Graham, Mandy and Sam started a second business, GetSmarter, to do online university courses in fields other than real property, using the same systems and infrastructure. GetSmarter grew rapidly and the two businesses moved to Fairland House, Observatory in 2011.
SEPARATION OF BUSINESSES AND SALE OF GETSMARTER – In 2013 the two businesses were separated. Paddocks moved back to Park Road, Rondebosch and shortly thereafter GetSmarter moved to Deneb House in Observatory. In 2017 GetSmarter was sold to 2U, a NASDAQ listed company.
CURRENT STATUS – Paddocks is wholly owned by Graham and Mandy. Its executive committee includes Graham, Mandy, Deborah Gill (CEO) and Regan Didloff (CFO). It offers online short courses and workshops in conjunction with UCT, a series of books, consulting services and online support programs.


Due to the owner wishing to eventually work part time this very well-established business is now up for sale.
The Post Office supplies a range of traditional services including personal banking, pensions, benefits, utility payments, postage and returns acceptance, all from a secure single position fortress counter.
The retail side of the business provides an extensive selection of general convenience grocery items, fresh bought-in bakery and dairy products, snack foods, news, confectionary and tobacco lines, greeting cards, sundries and a range of traditional beers, wines and spirits, all displayed in a bright, welcoming mini-supermarket-style customer service area.
In a recent village survey, "Bramham Village Store and Post Office" was voted the biggest asset to the village.

Middle East stability, Saudi style
Mohamed Kohail is in a very dangerous situation. The twenty-four-year-old Canadian sits in a Saudi Arabian prison awaiting the death penalty for his role in a schoolyard brawl in which a Saudi youth died.
Al Pope
By Canadian standards, Kahail can not have received a fair trial for his alleged crime, because there is no such thing in Saudi. The country has no written penal code, no presumption of innocence, no impartial judges. Kahail claims that he was tortured into a confession, a common practice among Saudi police.
Unlike most victims of the Saudi law courts, Kohail has one slim hope. If the Canadian government applies sufficient pressure on his behalf, he might receive a pardon from King Abdullah. If the king doesn't decide to pardon him, the young man will be taken to a public square, and like 1,750 others since 1985, he will be beheaded.
In 2007, a Saudi woman was sentenced to death for the crime of witchcraft. Her conviction was based on the testimony of a man who claimed she had made him impotent, and on her own confession, obtained under torture.
Women in Saudi Arabia have no rights under the law, and live under the guardianship of their nearest male relative, whether that be a father, husband, brother, or son, who may beat them, deny them the right to travel or education, and imprison them in their homes.
If a Saudi woman reports that she has been raped, she is likely to be charged with adultery. This February, a woman who was gang-raped by five men was sentenced to 10 lashes and a year in jail.
The brutal misogyny and injustice of the Saudi courts is only one symptom of the country's sickness. It is an absolute monarchy, governed by a royal family that subscribes to an extremist version of Islam not much different in effect from that practised by the Taliban.
Although more than 4,000 US troops were redeployed from Saudi to livelier parts of the Middle East in 2003, the House of Saud still relies on America to put the iron in its fist. As US Defence Secretary Robert Gates told the 800 or so remaining troops, their mentorship of the Saudi armed forces is "critical to the stability" of the Middle East.
In the world of foreign policy, stability is a great good. Stable regimes are much better than unstable ones, especially in the heart of the world's richest oilfields. We can forgive much in the way of human rights abuses if the torturers work for a stable regime.
But what is this stability, possessed by the House of Saud, but not by, for instance, the Taliban? What makes one repressive regime worthy of US military support, and the other of invasion?
We know that stability can degrade with time, as witness Saddam Hussein. But why does it attach to one harsh fundamentalist regime and not another? The only obvious answer that presents itself is that a stable regime is defined as one that is willing to do business.
Whatever else you may say of King Abdullah and his family, they know a good friend when they see one. Since the 1980s they have been the largest supplier of oil to the US, and its biggest trading partner in the Middle East. They have also been the biggest customer, worldwide, for American arms.
The Saudi army is equipped with American Abrams battle tanks, Bradley armoured vehicles, F-15E Strike Eagle attack aircraft and Patriot surface-to-air missiles. Since they also supply arms to Israel, US weapons manufacturers are delighted with the nice stable arms race in the Middle East.
It doesn't look good for Mohamed Kohail. In a Wednesday press release, the Liberals allege that the Conservative government has been deliberately covering up the story of his torture. Under the circumstances, it's not likely that Harper will take a strong stand to save this young Canadian's life.
But even if he does, the beheadings, torture, floggings and stonings will go on, fully supported by Western military might. Saudi human rights abuses are an embarrassment for their allies, but we blush and move on. In the Middle East, in peace as in war, money talks, and oil money talks loudest of all.
Al Pope won the 2002 Ma Murray Award for Best Columnist in BC/Yukon. His novel, Bad Latitudes, is available in bookstores.

Skid Row is an American heavy metal band from Toms River, New Jersey. Formed in 1986, the group originally included bassist Rachel Bolan, lead guitarist Dave "The Snake" Sabo, lead vocalist Matt Fallon, drummer John Ratkowski Jr., and rhythm guitarist Jim Yuhas. By early 1987, the lineup had changed to feature Sebastian Bach in place of Fallon, Scotti Hill in place of Yuhas and Rob Affuso in place of Ratkowski. After releasing three studio albums together, Skid Row began an unofficial hiatus in August 1996. Bach left the band in December, claiming that Sabo and Bolan had fired him. The group's remaining members formed Ozone Monday with vocalist Sean McCabe in 1998.

In January 1999, Sabo, Bolan and Hill reformed Skid Row, later adding new vocalist Johnny Solinger and drummer Charlie Mills. In July 2000, it was announced that Phil Varone had replaced Mills, who was forced to leave the band due to "lack of income". The new drummer performed on the group's first studio album in over eight years, 2003's Thickskin, but in January 2004 left "abruptly" due to "personal reasons", with Timothy DiDuro taking his place. Varone had rejoined by March, but within two months had left again, with Dave Gara joining as his replacement. Gara remained in the band until April 2010, with Rob Hammersmith taking his place in May.

After more than 15 years with the band, Solinger left Skid Row in April 2015, reportedly in order to focus on his solo career. Sabo and Bolan later disputed that Solinger had left the band of his own accord, claiming that they had instead fired him. Despite rumours of a reunion with Bach, Solinger was replaced by former TNT frontman Tony Harnell. His tenure was short-lived, however, and by the end of the year he had departed after claiming that the other band members "ignored and disrespected" him. Early the following year, Skid Row began touring with former DragonForce frontman ZP Theart, who was made an official member of the band in January 2017. Theart remained until March 2022, when he was replaced by Erik Grönwall.

Akka in Action.

This is an excellent book by Raymond Roestenburg, Rob Bakker, and Rob Williams. Whilst the hardbook isn't out until December, all chapters are now available as an eBook under Manning's Early Access Program.

Akka in Action uses examples (in Scala) on how you can build message-oriented systems using Akka. The book also includes sections on patterns like Event Sourcing, and CQRS.

On the Kindle version, the code isn't formatted as well as it should be so you'll find yourself switching back and forth the code cloned from the associated GitHub repo.

All in all, an excellent addition to any software engineer using Akka.

Don't call it the 2020 Ford Mustang RS. Or ST. Or SVO. Ford just unveiled the 2020 Mustang High Performance Package, and it uses the same spectacular turbocharged 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder found in the Focus RS. That means there's 330 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque on hand. To those of us with a memory that stretches past the year 2000, a forced-induction, 2.3-liter four-cylinder in a Mustang sounds an awful lot like an SVO, but Ford says this car isn't meant to go traipsing over history. Nor is it some wild stand-alone model.
"You could look at it a hundred different ways," says Jiyan Cadiz, a spokesperson with Ford. "This is our first 'Powered by Ford Performance' model. Whereas RS, you're getting the full kit. It has a unique body, a unique interior, other unique appointments. This is more, you know, we'll give you the heart of the thing to keep this cost efficient so that we have something on more of the entry-level side."
Ford won't release pricing until later in the Spring, but buyers can expect to find a slew of go-fast parts bolted to the car. Those include four-piston brake calipers and 13.9-inch front rotors lifted from the Mustang GT, as well as beefier sway bars and a 3.55:1 Torsen limited-slip rear differential. Most importantly, the High Performance Package benefits from MagneRide dampers. The car bows with 19x9.5-inch wheels shod in Pirelli P Zero Corsa4 summer rubber.
The pack can be had with either a six-speed manual, or 10-speed automatic gearbox. This is the entry-level performance Mustang, a car designed to slot below the GT, and Ford was able to pull that off by raiding the parts bin. Even the SVO used a model-specific suspension, bodywork, and an interior, so sure, it would be disingenuous to slap that name on this car.
Are we mad? No. The High Performance Package is very similar to the brilliant four-cylinder Chevrolet Camaro 1LE, which means there are multiple ways for you to get your American track jollies on without pulling a second mortgage.

Cities Of The Future
Webinars Brief 17:2021
Author: Adnan Saqib., Aqeel Anwar, Lubna Hassan
Pakistan currently houses some of the largest cities in the world. It has about 20 cities with populations of above a million. Karachi and Lahore are among the twenty-five mega-cities in the world. This rapid urbanization is accompanied by congestion, pollution, mobility issues, shortage of housing and other utilities, and sprawl. Pakistan also has 40 percent of its urban population living in slums. There is a clear shortage of urban public spaces, libraries, office and commercial spaces, and sustainable urban transportation. Our cities are not inclusive either. People living in slums, and street hawkers face a constant threat of eviction. Urban planning in Pakistan has not kept pace with the changes brought about by rapid urbanization. Pakistani cities lack the vigor and dynamism of modern, productive, competitive cities. Future of the countries are in the cities hence they should be better managed. In this webinar, speakers and experts gathered to discuss how cities can do it right.
What will be the needs and challenges of the future city?
With the rising urban population and more challenges ahead, how cities will provide equity to all?
What will the future of mobility look like?
Streets provide vibrance to the city economy, with the rise of e-commerce and delivery service, how the landscape will evolve eventually.
Some cities around the world are taking matters into their own hands, circumventing regional and federal government for better and effective legislation, generating their funds and future strategies. What can we learn from these cities?
Arif Hassan, the eminent urban planner, was dismayed that we could not benefit from master-plans for cities essentially because the element of 'planning' was missing. In this era, cities grow and change at such an exponential pace that master-plans become invalid soon. But if we have objectives to achieve, strategies are there.
Our master-planning for cities has failed. The other way to make our cities economical and livable for people is to map cities but unfortunately, there is no mechanism to map our cities. There is not even a single city in Pakistan that is mapped.
Here "Mapping" means that cities are not only mapped physically but also in economical and social terms. All three factors of mapping merge in and take the form of a city.
Mapping Karachi, the largest city of Pakistan, would imply first to identify those areas where economic activity takes place, followed by those areas which have low-income settlements, and then areas that have warehouses, transport, and cargo terminals. In the end, all the zones of economic activity and their linkages will be identified. Without mapping these linkages, it is difficult to understand how a city functions.
The ecology of the city is also important. The present form and expansion of cities are destroying the ecology. This necessitates that we plan our future actions such that this ecology does not aggravate further. This would involve four things:
Plan for the majority which is lower and lower middle income
Determination of land use on environmental and social consideration, not on the land value alone
Protect and build the intangible heritage of the various communities that live there.
Protect the ecology of the city
Land density laws need to be introduced in Pakistan and new settlements should be banned in areas where 400 people are living per acre because the land is scarce.
For future cities, we have to understand the present cities – as to who does what, when, and how – and getting a grip of the trend, we then need to support the trends which are pro-equity and environment and curtail the trends which are anti equity and environment.
In cities, there are several kinds of trends such as housing, transportation, commerce that need to be understood because we can not alter them, and strategies should be devised which we think are feasible.
Nadeem remarked that our economists have failed in terms of planning our economy and cities, but why do our architects think people will live in two-story houses and will use only cars as a source for mobility?
Sohail Afzal stated that land use and mobility are linked together, but mobility needs to be defined first. Mobility is the movement of people from one place or points to another. In short, mobility is accessibility. Accessibility is how people will access markets, education, hospitals, general recreational things, etc, and cities are built on the provision of mobility.
The Dilemma with the Pakistani cities is that they are choked. To travel just a kilometer, an hour is required in peak hours. Our cities are car-oriented, new roads are built, old roads are widened to accommodate more cars. Almost thirty square feet is required just to park a single car. If our cities are car-oriented, where is the space for recreational activities?
Naveed emphasized the need to understand that our future is urban, and within a few decades Pakistan will be fully urbanized. Further, Pakistan, with a median age of 23, is a young country and unfortunately, our urban planners and architects are designing and building infrastructure without thinking about the needs of youth.
Youth need jobs, housing, and mobility but our urban structure does not have space to accommodate them. In "Mera Pakistan Mera Ghar " we don't have a single unit for young professionals, students, etc. Only 10% of households own cars, and youth need mobility but our current city design is fragmented and the rate of satisfaction from the public transit is extremely low (10 to 15%).
Nadeem said that Lahore has 7 polo grounds, but no space for the poor, no playground for children, and no library which is the result of master-planning.
Arif Hassan said that houses are being built in Pakistan on a massive scale. For example, in Karachi, 200,000 houses are under construction, which is constructed by private entities. Plus, the densification in slums is a cause to build more and more houses and the real challenge is can we sustain this? Can we help it to perform better? For that we have to know who is doing what, and how? Slums have reached six, seven floors and not a single penny is coming from the government! Nobody knows where the money is coming from? Instead of channelizing that money in a proper systematic way, the government starts taxing that money thus disrupting the chain.
For building a city, a vision should be there. For example, when the Karachi Transformation Strategy was being built, the vision was that Karachi should be a world-class city. Critics argued that instead of a world-class city it should be a commuter and pedestrian-friendly city, which as a result would change the nature of investment of the city.
In 2019, around 9600 vehicles were being registered per day in Karachi, while Bangkok registered 1650. Now how will this situation be tackled? There was a thought that a mass-transit system would help to tackle the mass registration of vehicles but the mass-transit system did not bring any reduction in vehicle registration and the registration still increased.
Cities are the core of innovation and economic growth but our cities are choked due to our car-friendly policies. Our planners are busy building and widening roads for cars and making life miserable for the pedestrians. The best practice to adopt is to give preference to pedestrians first, then cyclists, bikes, and then cars. Thus, making life easy for pedestrians and difficult for car owners. Through this transition, a sustainable transit-oriented system should be developed so that people can shift from cars to mass transit. The main hurdles in this change remain the cars and oil importer lobbies, which benefit from the status quo.
In conclusion, our cities need to be mapped, which will help us understand what is happening and how it is happening, and what amendments are needed in the current structure to increase gains from city life.

With its process of gradually releasing the retinol, the skin texture is refined leaving a clearer looking skin complexion and tone with very minimal irritation. The Obagi 360 Retinol 0.5 penetrates deep into the layers of the skin in the evening and boosts new healthy skin cell growth to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other skin impurities on the face.
The Retinol 0.5 is effective, yet not abrasive, so it will work with very minimal irritation. The Obagi 360 Retinol 0.5 is a great way to stop fine lines and wrinkles from forming at an earlier age, and ensure youthful looking skin that will last a lifetime.


Exploring a new territory, Citrus Wildlife Management Area, while the weather is fantastic and before hunting season begins.
Known either by Red Basil, Scarlett Savory, or Scarlet Calamint….. blooming in spring and late fall, these beautiful clusters of flowers can be seen throughout the CWMA and with their color bursts of red scattered about, they give a nice visual break within the earth tones.
Unfortunately I didn't have my macro with me, which reminds me to always have it now. Would have loved to get some close up shots of the flowers and leaves.

Q: Solving equations with Standard Normal CDF and PDF (Optimization) How do we go about solving equations of this sort, where we need to find $x$ satisfying the below? Here $K$ and $\xi$ are known constants. Also, $\phi$ and $\mathbf{\Phi}$ are the standard normal PDF and CDF, respectively.
\begin{eqnarray*}
\frac{\xi\left(K-x\right)^{2}\phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}{\Phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}+\left(K-x\right)\left[\frac{\phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}{\Phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}\right]^{2} &  & =\\
\left\{ K-2x\right\} +\frac{1}{\xi}\frac{\phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}{\Phi\left(\xi\left\{ K-x\right\} \right)}+\frac{\xi Kx\phi\left(\xi x\right)}{\Phi\left(\xi x\right)}+K\left[\frac{\phi\left(\xi x\right)}{\Phi\left(\xi x\right)}\right]^{2}
\end{eqnarray*}
This comes up during the minimization of this problem.
\begin{eqnarray*}
\underset{\left\{ x\right\} }{\min}\left[K\left\{ \xi x+\frac{\phi\left(\xi x\right)}{\Phi\left(\xi x\right)}\right\} +\left(K-x\right)\left\{ \xi\left(K-x\right)+\frac{\phi\left(\xi\left(K-x\right)\right)}{\Phi\left(\xi\left(K-x\right)\right)}\right\} \right]
\end{eqnarray*}
Please note this can be shown to be convex and there is a separate thread on this.
Convexity of Function of PDF and CDF of Standard Normal Random Variable

A: Denote by $\lambda(x)$ the Inverse Mill's ratio
$$\lambda(x) := \frac{\phi(x)}{1 - \Phi(x)} = \frac{\phi(-x)}{\Phi(-x)}.$$
Your objective can be rephrased as
$$\min_{x} K\bigg( \xi x+\lambda(-\xi x) \bigg) +\left(K-x\right)\bigg( \xi\left(K-x\right)+\lambda(-\xi\left(K-x \right))\bigg).$$
I don't see how convexity follows from the question you linked, since that question restricts the domain to $x \geq 0$ and focuses on the right term.
But, assuming you've convinced yourself of the convexity, such a function is easy to minimize numerically. The convexity gives you that any stationary point is a global minimizer. Here's how to do the optimization in Python.
from scipy import optimize
from scipy import stats

def inv_mills(x):
    return scipy.stats.pdf(-x)/scipy.stats.cdf(-x)

#define your constants K and xi
xi = 1.0; K = 2.0;

result = optimize.minimize_scalar(lambda x: K*(xi*x + inv_mills(-xi*x)) + (K-x)*(xi*(K-x) + inv_mills(-xi*(K-x))))
print(result)

My example has the following result:
    nfev: 14
     nit: 10
 success: True
       x: 1.3308029569427138

Embrace your community
August 3, 2010 by Eric D. Brown, D.Sc.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post titled Open Source, The Enterprise and The Community where I wrote about embracing the community that exists within your organization and in the open source community.
In that post, I mentioned the Boy Scouts of America and how their magazine group uses WordPress.com's VIP hosting platform for Boys' Life magazine's Boyslife.org website. Wordpress is open source…but as far as I'm aware, this is the only example of open source platforms being used at the National office of the BSA.
This story isn't about boyslife.org though or just about the BSA…its about how important it is to embrace whatever community you have.
Boy Scouts & Open Source
Now…before I continue, you should realize I worked at the BSA national office as an employee for ~ 1 year and as a consultant for ~1.5 years. I know the organization very well.
The Boy Scouts of America has over 1 million volunteers. These volunteers come from all walks of life with many of them being new volunteers with young kids in the programs. Out of 1 million volunteers, I'd estimate that the BSA could reach out and find 1,000 people who have a strong computer background. Out of those 1,000 people, I'd be willing to bet that 100 of them would be willing to give a portion of their time to various IT related activities (software development, etc).
So….here's an organization that has a dedicated volunteer community large enough to include a few people (maybe even a few hundred people) willing (and eager) to help develop new and interesting software platforms for the organization. Is the BSA reaching out to embrace this community? They are reaching out, but not truly embracing them.
Failing to embrace the community
Back in 2008 there was an open source initiative announced within the BSA. On the surface, it looked good…even Eric S. Raymond (former president of the Open Source Initiative and former Scout) was excited about the announcement.
Like I said, on the surface it looked good. Here we had the BSA reaching out and embracing their large volunteer base and providing yet another way for those volunteers to help the organization out.
The CIO of the BSA hired a consultant to come in and build an open source strategy and program.
What did this program consist of? A website, a forum and an open source 'strategy' document was created and published on a website. The act of publishing that document and website was considered the 'last step' of the open source program and the consultant went on his way.
The website and forum actually got some decent traffic…within days of the announcement there were 10 to 15 people on there announcing their interest in helping the BSA. From what I saw, these volunteers were extremely interested in helping, extremely comptetant in their fields and full of ideas of how to bring open source into the BSA.
But….those people were ignored. After 6 months, the forum was closed down. There were zero projects undertaken. There was zero communication from the BSA IT group to these volunteers. There was no embracing of this community.
It was sad really. Watching these people comment over and over on the forum about how they were wanting to help. Some even started up projects independently of the BSA National IT group but as farm as I know, those projects never went anywhere. The Boy Scouts of America's IT group had no idea how to reach out and embrace these volunteers.
The open source initiative was an excellent idea, especially for an organization with over a million volunteers ready and willing to help. The only issue – the BSA didn't really know how to embrace their community, at least on the technology side.
The Boy Scouts of America hasn't quite figured out how to embrace their technologically advanced volunteers…and I don't know that they ever will be willing to reach out for help within the IT space. There are a ton of security issues to worry about at the BSA due to the large amont of data on children…but there are many options for an organization like the BSA and even more for other organizations.
What could you do with One Million Volunteers?
Just imagine what you could do with a million volunteers. Imagine having a million people beating down your door to help in any way they can.
That's what the BSA has…and they've done a good job of utilizing those volunteers…but have they embraced them? On the technology side of the house, they have not.
Here we have an organization who has an IT group that is understaffed and overworked and has a hard time getting anything done quickly. Now…add to that a large group of volunteers willing to help in any way they can and you've got a recipe for success….but those volunteers have to be embraced. Right now..they are kept are arms length.
Imagine if you had had a group of people willing to help your organization out. Maybe not 1 million people…but what if you had just 10 or 15 people willing to help you with your project and/or initiative? You can have that if you build and embrace your community.
This is the power of something like open source. You've got people wanting to help. You've got people willing to help.
Whether you're the Boy Scouts of America or a small business with 1 employee, you've got a ton of 'volunteers' out there waiting to help you out in the open source world. You just have to be willing to reach out and ask for help…and understand how to embrace those folks that are willing to help.
Of course, there's times when you can't (or won't) opt for open source platforms….but odds are that there is a community out there willing to offer assistance. Take a commercial content management product like Sitecore for example. Sitecore has a fairly large community of developers on the Sitecore Developer Network who offer advice and propose solutions to problems. Take advantage of communities like and embrace them when you can.
Whatever your community looks like, embrace them. If you don't have a community, build one. You may be surprised to find what your business / organization can do when you open your arms and embrace those around you.

This is great stuff! I have my work cut out for me this weekend pulling it all together. ;-) Thank you all very, very much!
No joke, but all emails I get are generally broken in some way because no one to date that I get emails from has handled the image scaling problems in Outlook 2007 - 2013 on HiDPI devices. So I'm mostly forced to use the web version.
I use Outlook 2013 (Office 365) due my work Exchange account, so it makes sense to just add my personal IMAP accounts there too, but because my laptop is HiDPI at 3200 x 1800 with 200% scaling, all emails generally look bad in Outlook.
Office 365 is now the new problematic email client on the block. I haven't started testing in this email client yet since it has very little usage at this point, but I do know even the emails we send at Litmus are somewhat broken. It's definitely handling rendering differently =/. I'm eager to dive into it soon to figure it out.
This might be motivation for me to finally organize all the screenshots I have floating around my computer! Here are a couple broken emails that I had handy—most of these screenshots are from Gmail (Litmus using Google Apps for our @litmus.com email addresses). I don't have any 'after' shots (as far as I know these emails are still broken...) but they could have been saved had they been tested!
Ah, I found a before/after example (showing how a botched media query on one image can affect an entire email).
Here is a Google+ email failing in Google Android. A good example even the big boys make massive mistakes in their own clients.
Also it's worth mentioning in the world of email things change without any notice so what works today will break tomorrow. The best way to keep on top of that is with regular testing. This yahoo bug is a great example of that, most email I receive still haven't fixed this bug.
This is a great example of an email breaking in so many places there's no chance they tested.

Trwałoporka świerkowa (Perenniporia subacida (Peck) Donk) – gatunek grzybów należący do rodziny żagwiowatych (Polyporaceae).

Systematyka i nazewnictwo
Pozycja w klasyfikacji według Index Fungorum: Perenniporia, Polyporaceae, Polyporales, Incertae sedis, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi.

Po raz pierwszy gatunek ten w 1885 r. Ch.H. Peck zdiagnozował jako Polyporus subacidus.  Według Index Fungorum za prawidłową uznaje się diagnozę Donka, który w 1967 r. zaliczył go do rodzaju Perenniporia.

Synonimy:

Nazwę polską zaproponował Władysław Wojewoda w 2003 r. W polskim piśmiennictwie mykologicznym gatunek ten opisywany był wcześniej przez Stanisława Domańskiego jako porzyca kwaskowata.

Morfologia
 Owocnik
Wieloletni, rozpostarty, rzadziej rozpostarto-odgięty, trudny do oddzielenia od podłoża. Osiąga grubość do 1,5 cm. W stanie wilgotnym jest miękki, kruchy, nieco korkowaty, w stanie suchym twardy. Powierzchnia gładka, o barwie od kremowej do słomkowej, w świetle błyszcząca. Obrzeże białawe lub w kolorze kości słoniowej, strzępiaste, miękkie, o szerokości do 2 mm. Hymenofor rurkowy. Rurki stożkowate, mogą tworzyć kilka warstw, każda o grubości do 4 mm. Warstwy są wyraźnie oddzielone. Pory rurek okrągłe lub wielokątne, bardzo drobne – w liczbie  4–5 (6) na mm.
 Cechy mikroskopowe;
System strzępkowy trimityczny. Strzępki generatywne hialinowe, rzadkie, o szerokości 3–5 μm, często ze sprzążkami. Strzępki szkieletowe dominujące w tramie i kontekście, nierozgałęzione lub bardzo rzadko rozgałęzione, elastyczne, grubowarstwowe, silnie amyloidalne, o szerokości 3–6 μm. Strzępki łącznikowe występują bardzo rzadko, są silnie rozgałęzione i cienkie (2–3 μm). W hymenium brak cystyd, występują natomiast wrzecionowate, równe z hymenium, lub nieco wystające cystydiole o rozmiarach 13–35 × 4,5–6 μm ze sprzążką w podstawie. Podstawki maczugowate, 4-sterygmowe o rozmiarach  20–40 × 5,5–8,5 μm, ze sprzążką w nasadzie. Zarodniki o kształcie od jajowatego do szeroko elipsoidalnego, z wyraźnie spiczastymi końcami,  brodawkowate, hialinowe, o różnej grubości ścian, lekko amyloidalne, o wymiarach  4,5–6 × 3,5 × 4,5 μm.

Występowanie i siedlisko
Występuje w Ameryce Północnej, Europie, Azji Północnej i Japonii. W Polsce jest rzadki. W literaturze naukowej do 2003 r. podano tylko stanowiska w Puszczy Augustowskiej i Puszczy Białowieskiej. Znajduje się na Czerwonej liście roślin i grzybów Polski. Ma status V – gatunek narażony, który w najbliższej przyszłości zapewne przesunie się do kategorii wymierających, jeśli nadal będą działać czynniki zagrożenia. Znajduje się na listach gatunków zagrożonych także w Norwegii, Szwecji i Finlandii.

Występuje w lasach, głównie na martwym drewnie drzew iglastych, rzadziej liściastych. Najczęściej występuje na drewnie świerków. Powoduje białą zgniliznę drewna.

Gatunki podobne
Trwałoporka świerkowa od trwałoporki różnobarwnej Perenniporia medulla-panis odróżnia się miejscem występowania – na drzewach iglastych, zwłaszcza na świerku. Mikroskopowo odróżniają ją także bardzo cienkie, rozgałęzione i silnie amyloidalne strzępki.

Even if i feel like things are falling apart, i know you are there God. Even if everything happens in the opposite way, i know there is a reason behind and i know you will not let me fall... all i have is yours. I won't worry cz i know you worry and care about them more than me.I leave it all to you and time for me to rest. Good night God.
Thank you God for everything you have done for me.
How do you post anonymous prayers ?

ini_set('memory_limit','512M');   in wp-cache.php
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

A: Yes, it's definitely a php memory limit. You can try to increase it yourself or you can ask your hosting provider to increase it for you. You can check your php memory by creating an info.php file and add phpinfo(); to in.
Go to mydomain.co.za/info.php and check your PHP memory limit.
There are several ways to increase your php memory limit. If memory limit in wp-config.php is not working for you, you can try another method.

*

*define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', "256M"); in wp-config.php file

*ini_set('memory_limit', "256M"); during runtime in wp-config.php file

*php_value memory_limit 256M in .htaccess file

*memory_limit = 256M in php.ini file
If none above increase your PHP memory limit, please ask your hosting provider.
You can use this link as reference on how to increase PHP memory limit.

A: The clues in the error message. You need to increase your PHP memory limit. Depending on your server setup this may be in your php.ini file.

A: For me, this was happening b/c of post meta cache issues. This article suggested code which solved my issue - and apparently many other's as well.

Here is the code he provides:
function jb_pre_get_posts( WP_Query $wp_query ) {
    if ( in_array( $wp_query->get( 'post_type' ), array( 'my_post_type_1', 'my_post_type_2' ) ) ) {
        $wp_query->set( 'update_post_meta_cache', false );
    }
}

// Only do this for admin.
if ( is_admin() ) {
    add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'jb_pre_get_posts' );
}

They say life is a journey. Well if that's the case, then I plan to live several lives in this lifetime.

December 26. It was decided to leave early but everyone woke up late, especially me! Haha Last night was Christmas Eve so nobody blamed anybody for the delay.
The ride from Alindahaw to Dipolog only took around 2.5 – 3 hours since we took the more direct and shorter route, and I suggest you do the same.
Today would be the last day of our trip, hence it should only be appropriate that we end it with the festive Christmas lights at Tangub City.

Story of our times
Posted on August 30, 2010 by nareshgooglegupta
India has always had two kinds of heroes, those who rule and those who are performers. These two are the royalty and performers. In any kingdom the King has always wanted to be in touch with reality of his kingdom. The performers have always been the pride of the kingdom.
In the ancient times the royalty went a great distance to be connected with their kingdom. The Open Durbars were their way of listening to the public. They were really the original crowdsourcers.
The performers were the people who caught the public's eye and were always treated with awe and respect
This is how it used to be even in modern times. We have put two sets of people on the pedestal, the politicians and the performers. The performers include film stars and sports stars. It's the performers who furthered the brand equity of the nation.
Earlier the politicians really lead a public life, where they mingled with the public and reflected their sense of moment. They were interested in what the public was doing, feeling and speaking. The politicians were really public figures and lead a public life
The second set of people is the performers. They have always leaded a private life. This helped them in creating the right myth and it increased their brand value. The myth was the critical for them to stay in limelight.
This whole dynamic has changed in recent times. The politicians have increasingly become the reclusive people and the performers have become the connected public figures.
The performers have really used the social mediums to become public figures. It is now very easy for the general public to interact with their heroes and role models. Twitter and Facebook have brought them out of the silver screen to our mobiles. The fans no longer need to wait outside the homes of the stars to get a glimpse of them. They are around, always.
The politicians on the other hand have become the isolated islands. They rarely want to connect with public and even more rarely do they reflect the sentiment of public. And a few who have wanted to connect and reflect popular opinion have been pushed to the fringe. They do appear in media only to ensure that the public does not forget them.
This is a strange paradox where those who should be connected are not, and those who can do without the connection are!
Are there any implications on the world of branding? Clearly there is a connection. Brands too are about creating a myth around them, by generating authentic stories around them.
For a longtime the brands have played the reclusive game. They have allowed people to peep into their world but in a very limited sense. Even when they signed up with a 'performer' they have not opened themselves up completely. This has started to change now. The rising consumer power is forcing the brands to open up and truly become public. They are now forced to create communities, give up control and really become friends with consumers. They are discovering that it pays to be open about the brand myth, make their audience an insider and be open. They are willingly giving up practices that used to infuriate their audience and bringing more and more and more truth in brand communication. I agree that this trend is not really a dominant theme, and many brands are still in reclusive mode. It's only a matter of time before they catch on.
Earlier the politicians used to Crowdsource to increase their appeal, now the brands are doing the same.
Wonder why the politicians are not learning?

Q: jquery moving rows dynamically with .on I'm attempting to move rows between two tables, but I cannot get it to keep the click event bound to it. I'm confused on the selector part on the .on event I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be targeting with that.
Basically I can get it to move to one table, and back but then it losses the click property. Not sure why.
I've attached a fiddle(http://jsfiddle.net/Yjqkn/216/) to make the problem clearer. The approve button moves it down, and the waitlist button moves it back, but then it loses all event listeners do I need to rebind them with .bind What is the best way to solve this.
I tried : .on("click","button.remove-participant",function() didn't work
Javascript
$( ":button" ).on("click",function(){

    if($(this).hasClass('remove-participant')) {
        $(this).removeClass('remove-participant').addClass('add-participant');
        $(this).html('Approve');
        var current_row = $(this).closest('tr').html();

        $('.table_2 > tbody:last').append('
'+current_row+'
');
        $(this).closest('tr').remove();

        $( ".table_2 .add-participant" ).bind( "click", function() {
            $(this).removeClass('add-participant').addClass('remove-participant');
            var current_row = $(this).closest('tr').html();
            $(this).html('Waitlist');

            $('.table_1 > tbody:last').append('
'+current_row+'
');
            $(this).closest('tr').remove();
        });
    }
});

HTML

    Info Header 1	Info Header 2

Don
      <button class="remove-participant" name="">Remove</button>

    Info Header 1	Info Header 2

A: You should use:
$(".table_1").on("click", "button.remove_participant", function() {
    ...
});

The general idea with event delegation is that you bind the handler to some element(s) that are static in the DOM and will contain all the dynamically added elements. Then the selector argument should specify the more specific dynamic elements that you want to delegate to.
It also doesn't look right that you're binding a click handler to .table_2 .add_participant within the button.remove_participant click handler. Every time you remove a participant, it's going to add another click handler to every .add_participant element, so when you click on those elements the handler will run multiple times. You should delegate the handler just once -- the whole point of delegation is that it picks up dynamic changes so you don't need to redo it every time you modify the DOM.
BTW,
.removeClass('class1').addClass('class2');

can be combined into:
toggleClass('class1 class2');

A: In my opinion your code is not working is because of your logic. You are here doing this: In table 1, you are removing the class.
              $(this).removeClass('remove-participant').addClass('add-participant');
When you click on table 2, and do the same thing. But you never go back and add the remove-participant class in table 1. So the click in Table 1 doesnt not work because class is set to 'add-participant' and not changed back.

Q: Programmatically create a shadow copy on Win XP In Vista / 7 I can create a shadow copy with vssadmin (VSSADMIN.EXE version 1.1)
vssadmin create shadow /For=c:

In XP, vssadmin version is 1.0, and doesn't support the create command, only list
Then, how can I create a volumen shadow copy for a complete backup?

A: Shadow copies are non-persistent in XP:

The Volume Snapshot Service was first added to Microsoft Windows in Windows XP; this version of VSS is used by NTBackup, however it can only create non-persistent snapshots (a temporary snapshot, usually used for creating a file-based backup or more generally, accessing copies of files that have been locked by applications for editing).

Source

A: The easiest way to do this seems to be the (supposedly Public Domain) tool known as vscsc, found here: http://vscsc.sourceforge.net/
Shadow copies on XP are only temporary, but that's the simplest way to use them.
