A new moon occurs at 3:14AM ET at 16 degrees 17 minutes of Cancer. In Cancer, we want to improve our homes and families.

Anything new or unusual is avoided. We seek comfort and familiarity, and we try to nurture and support. This new moon is conjunct (right next to) transit (moving) Mercury in retrograde (appearing to move backward). Because of that, we could be focusing on old issues related to the home (both personal and country) and family, and try to do things that we've attempted in the past but weren't successful with it.

We're concerned about the future, and what's to come for us all. We need to not be afraid, and think outside of the box, embracing originality, eccentricity, and individualism. Two consecutive full moons are occurring in Aquarius, this full moon in July and the next full moon in August. This puts extra focus on Aquarius issues.

If attached, you could recommit to your partner. If single, you could meet someone new. You may commit yourself to a project or plan. You're more concerned with fairness, justice, and equality. A full moon occurs in earth sign Capricorn, the sign after yours, on June 23rd. You could settle a financial dispute, end a financial agreement, or finalize a financial arrangement. You're more sensitive about your values, and may lack confidence. You care too much about what other people think of you, and it impacts your sense of self-worth. You may put too much stock in material items, using them to make yourself feel better, but it doesn't work well. Ignore what people have to say about you, and try not to indulge too much when you get upset.
On June 2nd, Venus enters waters sign Cancer, the sign opposite yours, Capricorn. You have an easier time dealing with your loved ones and partners, working with a partner, and making compromises.

You try to bring more harmony and balance into your life, and believe that charm and grace is what will win people over. There's no need to get your hands dirty when a smile works.

If you have to work in a cramped area with someone looking over your shoulder all of the time, you won't be happy. You get along better with your coworkers, and can improve the environment in some way.

Kane Brown singing along to Khalid on Twitter wasn't just him playing. The country singer has joined the R&B star on a remix of "Saturday Night," a song from Khalid's Suncity EP.
The remix of "Saturday Night" stays true to the original, with Brown singing a new second verse and then showing off his vocal skills on the bridge and later, choruses. It's a song of youthful expression and emotion that the "Lose It" singer struggles little to connect with.
At 25, he's just a few years older than Khalid. Both men are from Georgia.
You Gotta See Kane Brown's New Truck!
"Saturday nights, your works shoes are stilettos / Smell of cheap perfume / Makeup on your face, try to hide the pain / All the lies look like the truth / Deep in your heart, all you want is love / But you never felt good enough / You got wrapped up in other plans / But this ain't the way the story ends," Brown sings before a pleasantly defiant chorus.
The two voices pair well, with Khalid showcasing his high end and Brown adding a little bass. It's far from his first collaboration. On the country side he paired with Lauren Alaina for his song "What Ifs," but has also worked with Marshmello and Camila Cabello. Brown got his start singing covers of pop and country songs on Facebook, thus proving himself a versatile singer.


Vegan Bags & Vegan Wallets Fashion is an important part of many people's lives. It's a common assumption that once you go vegan, you will no longer be able to have good fashion, especially accessories such as bags and wallets. It seems like everything contains leather in or on it- belts, bags, wallets, shoes, and more….

Sherri Shepherd: Barbara Walters created an unbreakable bond of sisterhood with The View
Sherri Shepherd says that Barbara Walters created an "unbreakable bond" of sisterhood.
The renowned journalist - who passed away last month at the age of 93 - created the long-running talk show 'The View' in 1997 and as she looked back on her time on the panel, TV star Sherr, 55, reflected on how she and her former co-hosts such as Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were all immediately in touch with each other when they heard about her death.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "Being with the ladies at 'The View', they're like my sisters. Even the ones that I didn't work with - Lisa Ling and Debbie Matenopoulos, we saw each other, and we just hugged. I kissed the screen that Star Jones was on and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. It's like a family. You never really leave 'The View.' When I heard the news, I immediately texted Joy, and immediately texted Whoopi and Elisabeth texted me, so, we were all on the phone. That's a sisterhood that just, the bonds never break."
During a special tribute show of 'The View' aired earlier this week, long-serving host Joy, 80, - who has appeared on the programme almost continuously since its inception - claimed that the daytime ladies knew her "better than anyone" whilst 'Sister Act' star Whoopi, 67, said there was "no one like her."
Joy said: "People have been talking about her on all of the shows, but we knew her better than anyone, I think ... {She] had no mentors or role
models, she was the original role model for everybody else. She very much defied sexism and defied ageism. She went right into the
jaws of the lion... She started The View when she was 68 years old - very few people start a brand new career at 68."
Whoopi added: "The industry had to respect her. She did not allow them not to respect her ... There was nobody like her."
For years, as Everton burned though expensively-acquired players to little effect, Sean Dyche would be name-checked as the Premier League club churned through managers just as carelessly.Then the grand old team would turn to someone more illustrious, more exotic, more glamorous - more in keeping with the self-styled School of Science than the gravel-voiced, uncapped former lower-division enforcer.

The panel brings together Brazilian and U.S. researchers who examine U.S. cultural diplomacy towards Latin America from a historiographical perspective that focuses on transnational/global networks and processes of knowledge circulation. Presentations will take account of how changing technologies, ideas, identities and practices shaped the specifics of each case study. The papers stress the importance of cultural diplomacy as a key element for shaping political and ideological relations between countries and regions. This perspective can be contrasted with the more traditional view that takes cultural diplomacy as a secondary aspect of "real" diplomacy, understood as one involving strictly foreign relations. The periodization of these studies is important. The period around WWII and the immediate postwar period is a particularly fruitful area for study. Some historians have asserted that the U.S. diplomacy towards Latin America that started in the 1930s (under Franklin D. Roosevelt's "Good Neighbor" policy) was somehow a "laboratory" for ideas and policies that were later implemented within the Cold War context, even though through different mechanisms and with different logics.
The proposed panel intends also to foster discussions on the key role played by science and medicine in the dynamics of cultural diplomacy, and, more specifically, on the broad process defined as the "Americanization" of Brazilian society. It also aims to compare and contrast studies that focus on different agencies of U.S. cultural diplomacy, encompassing both philanthropic and governmental agencies, such as the Rockefeller Foundation, the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, and the Division of Cultural Relations of the State Department.

School Lunches Get Healthier, But Pizza is Still A Vegetable
by Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff
Executive Director/CEO
Healthy Child Healthy World
www.healthychild.org
Last week Michelle Obama, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Rachael Ray announced new nutrition standards for school lunches, the first major change in school meals in over 15 years.
The program allots an additional six cents per school lunch—the first real increase in 30 years. The new standards call for more whole grains and produce, as well as less sodium and fat, and are the first to be enacted as part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, part of Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Campaign, which was signed into law last year by President Obama. It will affect the nearly 32 million kids who participate in subsidized school lunch programs each day—many of whom get half their daily calories from these meals.
What's different? Milk goes low- or no-fat, portion sizes shrink to limit calories, and fresh fruits and vegetables are offered every day, among other recommendations echoed in the Eat Healthy section of our 5 Easy Steps.
What's not? Potatoes are unlimited—although now the majority will be baked, rather than fried—and tomato sauce still makes pizza a vegetable. "It was a bit unfortunate that some groups had powerful friends in Congress and basically tried…create some confusion with these standards," Vilsack said in a virtual press conference that I attended. "Our response was to set up minimum requirements. You have to have a minimum level of dark green vegetables, you've got to have a minimum level of red or orange or yellow vegetables."
"OK, so Congress left pizza a vegetable," Ray said. "But we are changing the game today. That [lunch] tray is going to have leafy greens and colorful fruit on it. If one of the other vegetables happens to be pizza or French fries in some schools that day, it doesn't negate the fact that on the tray there…will include vegetables and fruits." (For more specifics, check out WebMD's excellent breakdown of the new standards.)
Regarding organics, Secretary Vilsack said they encourage organics but will leave the decision about integrating to the individual school districts. But he responded to my question about Genetically Engineered foods by saying they would leave this up to "consumer choice."
I didn't get a chance to ask him how we can have a choice, given the fact that GEs are not required to be identified on labels—yet are now in 80% of processed foods.
Or to ask if he was aware that 93% of Americans now say they want GE foods to be labeled. (Are you one of them? Sign the Just Label It petition today!)
Sigh. I guess we have to start somewhere. And these new standards are definitely better for our kids.
Hopefully that pizza will have a whole-wheat crust.
P.S. Congratulations from all of us at Healthy Child Healthy World to Mr. Wells' 4th grade class at the Park School in Brookline, Massachusetts for changing Universal Pictures' mind about eliminating green content from "The Lorax" movie. As our founder Nancy Chuda wrote last week, when the kids saw the trailer, they realized that the environmental themes–which, as any parent who's read this story at bedtime knows, are the bedrock of the story–were largely missing. To restore the original meaning to the film, Mr. Wells' class put together a video and petitioned Universal to add more environmental messaging to their website. And this week, after more than 57,000 people signed their petition, the Universal webpage was updated to reflect the students' requests. Dr. Seuss once wrote, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not." We're inspired by these kids, who cared enough to make it better. A lot.

My friend Wanda Currie taught me a lot about meeting up with the plants and how helpful they can be toward us.
When Wanda was a young woman in the 1930's, all of the newly-wed farmers' wives attended a monthly Weed Meeting. These were run by an older, neighbor lady who had accumulated years of plant knowledge from her elders as well as from the plants themselves.
At these gatherings, the weed lady would share the way plants could assist the women in their day-to-day lives. You have to know that these women and their families lived up in the hollows and hill farms far from town. Well, the weed lady took them on long walks in the woods, along dirt roads, and in the fields and pastures behind their houses and barns so she could point out where the plants grew. She explained what seasons to harvest the plants, which parts of the plant were potent, and how to dry them, store them or use them fresh. She showed them how to make tinctures, tonics, elixirs, and teas to help keep their families and farm animals strong and healthy.
Wanda shared her plant learnings with me in the years that I was lucky enough to be her neighbor. I do have to say, the most important part of her teaching was about how to BE with the plants. Quiet ways seem to work well.
My friend passed away in 2003 at the age of 86. Since then I have been using everything she taught me to get to know many plants through out the world. With this experience, I have recorded the faces, spirits, and environments of these plants in graphite pencil drawings. Hidden aspects of their lives are revealed in a deeper way and show up in theses drawings. Call it what you will, but I detect the essence of each plant and score it with marks of a pencil on paper .


You have completed your mediation and secured what you believe is a binding settlement agreement. The agreement is signed by both the plaintiff and her counsel. The plaintiff's counsel has notified the trial court of the settlement on a form which requires dismissal of the action within forty five days after the defendant organization signs the agreement "unless good cause is shown why the case should not be dismissed." The authorized representative of your client subsequently signs the agreement. The settlement payment is tendered to the plaintiff. However, plaintiff rejects the payment and seeks to set aside the settlement. What do you do?
The incorrect procedure to enforce this settlement was the subject of the opinion issued by the Fourth Appellate District in Irvine v. Regents of the University of California. (2007 Cal. App. LEXIS 582) In Irvine the plaintiff and her lawyer had signed the settlement agreement at the conclusion of the mediation. Plaintiff's counsel then filed a notice of settlement with the court under California Rules of Court, rule 3.1385 [formerly rule 225]. All that was necessary for the settlement to be concluded was for the Regents to approve the agreement (a University risk manager had conditionally signed the agreement "for Regents" at the mediation). The notice of settlement filed by plaintiff's counsel provided that the case could be dismissed forty five days after the Regents' approval had occurred.
However, by the time the Regents approved the settlement and forwarded the settlement payment, the plaintiff had changed her mind based upon additional information obtained after the mediation. (The opinion in Irvine does not indicate whether the settlement agreement included a waiver of the provisions of Civil Code section 1542.) Plaintiff filed a motion to vacate the settlement. The court denied plaintiff's motion. Thereafter, because the court determined that the plaintiff had failed to show good cause to avoid dismissal under rule 3.1385, the court proceeded to dismiss the case.
The Court of Appeal reversed the order of dismissal. Although it made no finding as to the merits of plaintiff's motion to vacate, the Court stated that rule 3.1385 is a case management tool "and is not intended as a means to enforce settlements." By contrast, the opinion in Irvine included a discussion of the procedural safeguards present when Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6 is utilized to enforce a settlement and concluded that no such safeguards exist in rule 3.1385.
So, the next time you come to the end of a successful mediation, make certain you get an agreement in writing. Don't leave without it. And, make certain that - - at a minimum -- the agreement contains: (1) a waiver of the protections within Civil Code Section 1542; (2) enforcement pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 664.6; and, (3) admissibility of the agreement in any enforcement proceeding under Evidence Code section 1123(b). Thereafter, don't waste your time trying to enforce the settlement under CRC rule 3.1385. Use C.C.P. section 664.6.

Q: How to create a record in sql with no data but a Primary Key For example, I have an Order Table, this order table has the columns OrderID and OrderDate. At current the OrderID is an Indentity(1,1) and is auto generated.
I wish to create a record without giving a date for specific records. I have tried,
INSERT INTO Order() Values(), and similarly INSERT INTO Order();

I'm unsure if my syntax is anywhere near correct currently...

A: Specify DEFAULT VALUES to insert a row with defaults for all columns:
INSERT INTO dbo.[Order] DEFAULT VALUES;

The columns must either allow NULL values, have a default constraint, or have an auto-generated value. I suggest you avoid using reserved keywords like ORDER as identifiers (e.g. column and table names).

A: If the second field is not marked as required, you can create a record with the following line:
INSERT INTO Order(OrderID) VALUES(NULL)

AT&T comes up with sensible idea to cash in on AI craze
It isn't often we actually say this, but a telco has come up with a good idea as opposed to ripping someone else off, reinventing the wheel or using Kevin Bacon to make the brand seem cool (in someone's head this made sense).
AT&T has paired up with Tech Mahindra to build AI marketplace called Acumos, which will be hosted by The Linux Foundation. It is a relatively simple idea as well. But all the best ones are.
With the craze of AI building every day, there are countless applications which do very specific things, whatever that might be. Incorporating these applications into a business function or creating a new product with AI as the foundation is complicated, as there are so many different moving parts. Acumos creates a single marketplace where you can stitch together various different applications to make a complete solution, without having to hunt around extensively.
Assuming there is traction with the developers, it could turn into a very useful little marketplace. All the AI ideas in one place. The complicated bit, which might decide whether it is a success or failure, will be making it accessible. AT&T and Tech Mahindra have said this isn't just for data scientists, but for any developer who has a focus on creating apps and microservices. Translating this into an effective user-centric proposition for those who have limited (or no) AI experience will not be a simple task.
Just to demonstrate how it works, we've copied AT&T's example below.
"Our goal with open sourcing the Acumos platform is to make building and deploying AI applications as easy as creating a website," said Mazin Gilbert, VP of Advanced Technology at AT&T Labs.
"We're collaborating with Tech Mahindra to establish an industry standard for AI in the networking space. We invite others to join us to create a global harmonization in AI and set the stage for all future AI network applications and services"
This is not the first venture for AT&T into such open source initiatives. The same model was used to launch the Open Networking Automation Platform (ONAP), but in this example the team spent a while developing an internal platform, called ECOMP, before releasing it into open source. AT&T and Tech Mahindra are still working on the governance side of things now, so a 2018 release does seen more realistic.

The municipality of Zonnebeke is located in the Flanders region of Belgium. In 2007, the Marrickville council recognised it as an official sister city and we thought it would be great to honour that bond with a Belgian inspired, Batch IPA. An expressive saison yeast profile is balanced nicely against Batch sized charge of American hops, restrained enough to maintain balance in this dry, crisp malt bill. The result is a uniquely Belgian flavour with a Marrickville twist!

The app is free to download and available on the iPhone and Android app stores. Passengers can input their information mid-flight without internet access. They'll set up a profile with their personal information as it appears on their passports, take a selfie, and answer the questions that would normally appear on the paper customs declaration card.
Once they land, they can connect to the internet via personal data or the airport's free Wi-Fi and submit their information directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. They will receive a green "go" confirmation in the app if there are no errors and the agency is able to process the information.
From there, passengers can proceed down the Mobile Passport express lane to a customs officer to scan the app and go through the normal customs interview.
"It's kind of like a fast pass to the front of the line," Sawyer said.
Passengers will still need to have a passport on hand, but the mobile passport will free the customs officer from having to verify all of the information that would typically be on the declarations form. That's all verified with the confirmation within the app before reaching the officer.
It's estimated that Mobile Passport Control will shave 10 to 20 seconds from each passenger interview with the officer. That, coupled with the express lane, can allow passengers to clear customs in minutes.
Those traveling with families can set up profiles within the app, which is also available at http://mobilepassport.us.
Starting in the fall, RDU will offer automated passport control kiosks now found at larger airports. The kiosks will function much like the app, allowing passengers to input and verify their customs declaration information.
"This is going to really speed up how you go through the customs process, " Sawyer said.
