During the early years of my sales career I wanted to be a manager SOOO BAD – I didn't know it at the time – but when I eventually got my chance – I was nowhere near ready.
Not that I was going to let that stop me!
It happened in my early twenties – and I tried my best – but I still wince to this day when I think about some of the dreadful things I said and did.
So, If you've recently been thrust into a management role – trust me, I know exactly where you are and how you feel.
I mean this is what you've worked for isn't it? The position you've aspired to – this is your chance to take the next step up.
But, because most new managers have received no training and very little guidance – they're just left to work it out for themselves.
Actually, becoming a manager is a bit like parenting – that's another job you don't really get to grips with until you've got a bit of practical experience.
Young people always talk about how they're going to bring up their own children so much better than the harsh and unfair efforts of their own mum and dad.
But reality kicks in when they become parents themselves – that's when they start to realise the ton of stuff that's been going on in the background – and how very different life looks from the other side of the school run and the "get home before dark" argument.
Anyway – fast forward about ten years from my first sales management role – and I'm a sales director in charge of a team of just under 100 people – and even at that point, I'm not convinced I'd worked it all out completely.
But that was the job that made me face it – head on – no hiding, nowhere to run – fail at this one and your career stops here sunshine.
SO – I read and I studied.
I put myself on courses and became obsessed with the words of YouTube leadership gurus (which wasn't always the best advice) – I was determined to stop running into every problem head first and clueless.
I was going to become the kind of business leader who made a difference.
The way you're facing is the way you're going to end up – don't stare at the tree you're skidding towards, focus on the clear bit of road that you want to finish up on.
Focus also involves working out whether the road you're on is actually taking you where you really want to go – not confusing yourself with multiple routes – and definitely not being fooled into following a "shortcut" that ends up taking you in the completely wrong direction.
When you've got your direction sorted – you can take a look at your dashboard and decide what it is you should be counting and monitoring – what numbers really define success – and why.
That gives you a chance to decide whether the things you measure are truly important or not.
Once you've worked out what needs doing, you take a look at who's going to be accountable for achieving each part of the plan.
When you race rally cars for a living – the driver doesn't navigate and the navigator doesn't drive.
Accountability is all about defining responsibilities – yours and your team's – and helping them to take ownership and responsibility for nurturing and growing their small corner of the global business garden.
So, once you've worked out what everyone should be doing, the next thing you need to work out is why anyone should care.
Care enough to get the job done brilliantly.
When you help your friend decorate the house for her daughters graduation party – do you put in less effort because there's no monetary reward?
Are you doing just enough or the best you can do?
Are you doing it begrudgingly or with happiness and gusto.
The management motivation secret here is not necessarily how to motivate them as such (most people are already there to do the best they can) – it's how to make sure we don't demotivate or extinguish the bright burning flame that already existed before someone got in the way and snuffed it out by making the job or person feel unimportant.
You've also got to realise that everyone else isn't you.
You need to understand the complete spectrum of different personality types – and why it's almost impossible to motivate anyone else if you're not genuinely motivated yourself.
The world changes continuously, in many cases what was standard just a few years ago can easily be outdated next week.
This final section is about developing and nurturing fabulous talent so that they can be the best that they can be – ultimately, so that they can actually be better than you.
Actually – as far as this part was concerned, my aim was always to seed the business world with all those people who had outgrown my nest – to endeavour to make them so good, they had to go somewhere better to fully stretch their wings.

Our goal is to encourage lifelong learning that forms deep disciples through learning spaces that make the Bible, theology, and the Christian life accessible to everyone.
The Bible describes a disciple as an apprentice, someone who is learning how to live for and like Jesus. Rock Hill Institute is a space for this kind of learning, a holistic approach to discipleship that gives men and women the opportunity to grow in their love for God and his mission.
Every year, we offer three core classes, each of which focuses on teaching one area of discipleship: Christian Story, Christian Belief, and Christian Formation. We also offer a variety of Bible studies, 2-3 week elective classes, and one-time seminars.
Three Pillars of Rock Hill Institute
Christian Story
One of the most fundamental claims in Christianity is that God has made himself known in the Bible. Christian Story classes focus on how to study the Scriptures and see the unified story, the story about who God is and what he has done in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Christian Belief
All Christian belief and theology is rooted in what is revealed in the Scriptures. Christian Belief classes focus on teaching and articulating the doctrines of the Christian faith in order to learn how right doctrine is foundational not just for thinking rightly but for living as a disciple of Jesus.
Story and Belief must shape and form us into the kind of people who live according to the way of Jesus Christ. Christian Formation classes focus on the practical ways that we can become worshipers, family, servants, witnesses, prayers, and learners who are fluent in the gospel.
Upcoming Classes, Studies, and Seminars
Chester Park Women's Bible Study - Winter 2023
26 January – 16 March 2023
Rock Hill Institute: Prayer
Tuesday Women's Bible Study: Galatians

Q: Multiplying data in 2 datagridview columns I have been looking around the internet for some useful guide, but I have found non - How can I multiple two numbers in row, remember that value and then do the same for the rest of rows in datagridview and all those values sum together. And the total summary display in textbox. Those two columns are displayed using SqlCommand . But I would like to change the value in textbox every time there is made change in column pocet datagridview (when I do change in datagridview it doesnt insert the values into SQL).  So I didn't hesitate and I asked you in my previous question here and user varocarbas - I'm so thankful for his time which he spent making it.
He came up with this code:
 void calculateProductTwoColumns(int castkaIndex, int pocetIndex, int tot_rows)
    {
        try
        {
            double[] outVals = new double[tot_rows + 1];
            int curRow = 0;
            foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dtg_ksluzby.Rows)
            {
                curRow = curRow + 1;
                outVals[curRow] = (double)row.Cells[castkaIndex].Value * (double)row.Cells[pocetIndex].Value;

                kpriplac.Text = outVals.ToString();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("" + ex.Message.ToString());
        }

    }

So I tried to "improve" it to make it work like I desire but I think I little messed it up. I would like to multiply in each row columns pocet(dgv index 3) and cena(dgv index 2). So I call this method like this:
  calculateProductTwoColumns(2, 3, 4);

When I start debugging it says: Specified cast is not valid. I tried to debug it with breakpoints but I couldn't find where I make mistake.
pocet is int and castka is numeric numeric(15, 2)
Thank you so much for your time reading this, I will be pleased with any comentary or reference to guides.

A: Try to change your source like the following:
outVals[curRow] = Convert.ToDouble(row.Cells[castkaIndex].Value) * Convert.ToDouble(row.Cells[pocetIndex].Value);

Edit:
I would recommend something like this:
void calculateProductTwoColumns(int castkaIndex, int pocetIndex, int tot_rows)
    {
        try
        {
            double outVal = 0;
            foreach (DataGridViewRow row in dtg_ksluzby.Rows)
            {
                outVal = outVal + Convert.ToDouble(row.Cells[castkaIndex].Value) * Convert.ToDouble(row.Cells[pocetIndex].Value);
            }

            kpriplac.Text = outVal.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("" + ex.Message.ToString());
        }

    }

A former sheriff's deputy, McDaniel sees his bill - and a second one which would require adults who can legally possess firearms to do so - as a way to "get back at them."
If the bills were to actually advance in the state legislature, McDaniel says that he would strip out the ownership mandates and focus on tax credits.

Smart Meters are electronic meters that, once an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is added, can measure and record actual power usage and water usage and transmit that data wirelessly over a secure network to a central data management system.
The City is investigating the implementation of an appropriate AMI system for Saskatoon that would make both electricity and water meters 'smart'.
Frequently Asked Questions about Smart Meters, the Benefits of Smart Meters, and How Smart Meter Billing will work.
Health Canada has concluded that exposure to RF (Radio Frequency) energy from smart meters does not pose a public health risk.

The time period "buying channel" can have several meanings. For instance, Mark Burnett, the executive producer of CBS's "Survivor" and USA Networks' "Eco-Challenge," repaired to the the Chat Cafe instantly after his latest 30-minute stint on television promoting merchandise associated to "Eco-Challenge." Executives at said Mr. Burnett offered about $forty,000 value of merchandise throughout his ninety minutes on-line, and they mentioned that the number of chat participants was roughly 30 p.c of the total number of consumers throughout Mr. Burnett's televised look.
four. Comply with up, follow up, observe up. Because of the volume of submissions tv retailers obtain, together with the likelihood that you somehow flubbed the submission process, there is a likelihood that your utility may not be put in entrance of the eyes that have to see it. Don't be afraid to observe up with the channel (after an inexpensive time period has passed) to inquire about your utility's standing.
One other of Store Channel's objectives is to develop into a program that viewers actively search out, reasonably than one that they watch after passively coming across it. To do this, it'll further enhance the program, improve its providers and work to increase buyer satisfaction much more by leveraging its integrated high-high quality features, starting from product growth and purchasing to call middle to logistics operations.
But before one writes an e-commerce epitaph for the tv networks, it's worth keeping in thoughts that many analysts still see potentially profitable TV-Net synergies in some efforts, like Disney's ad-supported or NBC's And then there may be the tv company that has demonstrated a true aptitude for on-line transactions: Barry Diller's USA Networks.

After a year that saw the burgeoning entrepreneurship cutting across China in 2011 and a following year that tasted the backlash in 2012 — painfully leads to the termination of venture capital spree in addition to the shutdown of innumerable failures, we are now at the end of 2013 and looking back at a year which is neither so good nor so bad for Chinese Technology, Media & Telecommunication industry.
IPO Window Reopens | Breakthroughs that set for changes | 2013 goes down as the most active for Internet M&A | Xiaomi becomes a cult | Lei Jun, starts a business at 40 | 2013 is a lost year in terms of creativity and innovation.
A roundup on how digital is transforming our life and business – both in China and the rest of the world through January 17th.
Half of the mobile sites examined in L2′s latest China report offer click-to-call customer service and a quarter provide one-click email for customer service. L2′s Personal Care China report asserts that the fragmented digital landscape, big investments and the need for localized marketing has forced several personal care players to resign their efforts in China. For the brands committed to navigating the densely forested paths to consumers, L2 argues that digital is the clearest avenue available.
Here are the latest figures from the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) for December 2013. They show strong growth from the agency's last report midway through 2013 when we saw that China had 591 million internet users and 460 million mobile netizens. The number of mobile web users has more than doubled from the end of 2009 when there were only 233 million accessing the web via phones. China's smartphone boom – there are about 270 million active Android users in the country right now – has surely caused a big bump in mobile web browsing in the past few years.
Introduced at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, the June may look like a bracelet you'd buy at Claire's, but it's actually a fashionably designed wearable that measures exposure to the sun. Made by Netatmo and designed by Louis Vuitton and Harry Winston collaborator Camille Toupet, the June syncs over Bluetooth to a paired iPhone, where an app tells you how much sun you're getting based upon readings from the bracelet's photovoltaic gem, and then recommends sunglasses, a hat or a specific sunscreen based upon the measurements. While Netatmo's June might seems like a gadget for outliers, it actually represents an important step forward. It's wearable tech that someone might buy for looks alone, not giving a damn about how "smart" it is.
Will the 3-D printer replace the sewing machine as the favored tool of fashion designers? In recent months, 3-D-printed clothes and accessories have shown upon Project Runway (a contestant printed belts), the actual runway (Dutch designer Iris van Herpen's 3-D-printed collection called Voltage) and on the Neiman Marcus website (which sells 3-D pieces such as Bathsheba Grossman's sculptural stainless steel orbs). A few days ago, 3-D-printed fashion had perhaps its biggest moment when CBS broadcast the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Model Cara Delevingne walked the runway in computer-generated angel wings, while Lindsay Ellingson was outfitted in a corset, bustle and arm pieces intricately designed to look like snowflakes.
A brand or a company venturing online in China better not do so in the way they would in the West. Expect participation and engagement. Both positive and negative. Produce quality content or engage in a smart way and people will respond with a host of likes, comments and re-posts. Whole debates might rage, prompted by your video, infographic or picture. The research company Altimeter recently mapped China, followed by Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Malaysia, as the most engaged online populations in the world. The U.S., UK, Germany and France were significant laggards by this measure.
There are now 1.86 billion active social network users around the world.
Across Asia, 635 million people have mobile data subscriptions so that they can go online on their phones.
Southeast Asia is the most mobile-centric area of the continent, with a 109% of mobile penetration rate.
Southeast Asia and South Asia have internet penetration rates below the world average of 35%.
Boosted by China, East Asia's internet penetration rate is above average, at 48%.
3 of the top 10 social networks (by active usage) are messaging apps: WeChat with 272 million active users; WhatsApp with 400 million; and QQ with 816 million. China's Tencent owns both QQ and WeChat.
With so many people fascinated by China's fast digital growth, let's look more at the latest China figures.
Here is our first infographic in 2014 dedicated to highlight the statistics and the trends regarding the Chinese online video industry for 2013.
China's video sites are – like in most other sectors of the Chinese tech scene – fighting hard and spending big to gain market share right now. Aside from Youku, the most well known video site, web giants like Baidu (with iQiyi and PPS), Tencent, and Sohu are looking to quality movies and TV shows as a way of bringing in new users.

At this event, we will share our story – both triumphs and challenges faced – in addition to advice on how to leverage the entrepreneurial mindset regardless of what industry or sector we are in. We will also focus our presentation how Fashion & Luxury revolve around innovation, social media, e-commerce, sustainability and business excellence in China.
During 2 days, participants will go the companies' offices to attend 60-minutes presentations done by its founders. Afterwards, each participants will be able to ask their own questions during the Q&A, visit the facility within the area decided by the host and enjoy some refreshments when available.


If you're anything like me, travel is a big part of your life. While traveling, we can learn so much about ourselves and the world around us. Travel teaches us in ways that classrooms and curriculum just can't. And living in another country can be a priceless firsthand experience in a completely different culture.
It can be. But that's not always the case. Many times, travelers rarely explore beyond the expat bubble and tourist traps (MariCar, I'm looking at you! #sorrynotsorry).
Planning a trip to Japan and feeling overwhelmed with all the information?
Tired of the tourist traps and looking or authentic gems loved by locals?
Moving abroad soon and worried about the expat lifestyle transition?
I get it. We've all been there — I certainly have. That's why I want to share with you my experiences. That way, you don't make the same mistakes I did. So whether you're a travel newbie or a long-time jet setter, let me help you travel more authentically.
My name is Delilah and I've lived in Tokyo, Japan for seven years. And in that time, I've pushed myself into jam-packed rush hour trains, lived in a 17 square meter micro-apartment just steps from Shibuya Scramble, skied in Hokkaido and snorkeled in Okinawa, eaten Michelin star sushi, and stayed at luxury ryokan. Needless to say, I've experienced some of the greatest (and not so great) things Japan has to offer.
I share my travel experiences and insider expat tips on fleurdelilah.
I've also written for various Japan sites — some that you've come across, no doubt. Sites include the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), GoTokyo, Odigo, Live Japan, and more.
Discover your Japan. Travel like a local.

This school was looking to create an outdoor classroom area, this would provide a covered area that would have panels at each end, one with a door included to allow access from the existing classroom door beneath an existing door canopy.
Broxap provided this Duo Pitch shelter that has a mix of powder coated colours and the panels at each end that the school required. At one side a door is included to allow staff and pupils to reach the area from the classroom.
Integral guttering at the front of the shelter sheds rainwater through a down pipe at the end into a pre-existing planted area offering a 'free' watering system.


How Do I Move Picture Library From Aperture To Photos?
I have a large picture library in Aperture that I would like to move in to Photos. I have been using Aperture exclusively so there is nothing in Photos currently. I would like to do the copying directly on the Mac and avoid using iCloud if at all possible. Any ideas?
When you run Photos for the first time, it will ask you for a library location. You can select your Aperture library and it will take that library, import it, and create a new Photos library. You can then archive and remove your old Aperture library.
If you already ran Photos, and maybe create a sample library to play with, you can now do this by holding the Option key when you start Photos. Then you get to select that Aperture library and go through the process.
I too have to move my photos from Aperture to Photos; can you please advise whether all the folders and project structure will be retained. My photos are organised by year and then month/event. Thank you.
Mary: It has been too long since I have used Aperture to remember all of the organizational structures, so I really can't say. I think events are turned into albums. But it is easy to find out — just do it. It doesn't erase your Aperture library. It copies it. So you can still open Aperture and look at that library to compare.

Since 2011 the water losses in the network of Sofia have been reduced by more than 55 mln. m3, which is equal to the annual consumption of a city with population of 800,000 residents. The company has set as an objective to lower the losses by another 20 mln. in the next 5-year period. The creation of a mobile center for visiting the residential areas close to Sofia is envisaged, the introduction of a toll-free number for customer service and many other improvements", added Valleteau.
Improvement of the WSS infrastructure, customer service, reduction of the water losses and investment in ecology and clean air are among the main objectives in the new business plan of Sofiyska Voda for the period 2016-2021. It has been elaborated in accordance with the provisions of the regulatory framework in Bulgaria, but the water supply operator has set many priorities related not only to the provision of quality services and excellent potable water, but also to the maintenance of the city cleaner, more modern, declared the Executive Director of Sofiyska Voda AD Arnaud Valleteau before Bloomberg TV.
According to his words one Sofia resident consumes around 4 m3 per month, which means that the sum paid for water is around BGN 7.30 with VAT. "Based on our proposals, this sum will be increased by around BGN 1.30" explained Valleteau.
Since 2011 the company has invested BGN 240 M in its activity. The company will continue to invest at the same rate, as it is planning nearly BGN 200 M in the next 5 years for this vital service. The investments are extremely important, as only the WSS network in Sofia is 6500 km long and it requires considerable funds for maintenance and improvement. Apart from that we maintain two big city and two more potable water treatment plants, another one – in Kubratovo, for wastewater; we have 64 reservoirs.
The quality of the water in Sofia is one of the highest in Europe. According to a survey, which is done every year with Alpha research, the level of customers' satisfaction is increasing and is also very high – 76%, stated also the executive director of Sofiyska Voda.
Maintaining the capital clean and reducing the ecological impact remains one of the main objectives of the company. Each year, with the utilization of the biogas produced in the processes of the wastewater treatment plant in Kubratovo Sofiyska Voda saves the release of more than 100,000 tons of carbon emissions and produces more than 20 gigawatts of green energy.

Q: Windows 8.1 black screen with cursor, no safe mode, sfc not working I'm trying to repair my computer from booting into a blackscreen through the CMD mode (safe mode isn't working), after seeing that Startup Repair couldn't repair my PC. When I type sfc /scannow, I get the following message:

There is a system repair pending which requires reboot to complete. Restart Windows and run sfc again.

So I tried running sfc /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\Windows and after around a minute of waiting since the sfc began, this message appears:

Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

I cannot simply "reboot" to get rid of that pending repair because I'm stuck in a blackscreen with only my cursor appearing and nothing responding, not even Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I would need to reboot straight into the recovery menu, but I have no idea how to do that. Switching to integrated graphics or going into a safe mode does not get me past the blackscreen. I also tried a chkdsk which found no errors.
Then I tried doing a dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth which told me that the component store corruption was repaired. However, I heard it still requires a reboot to fix sfc, and after restarting twice during the Windows boot logo and then getting into recovery options again, I'm getting that restart pending message again when running sfc /scannow. The dism /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions requires a reboot too, so it's of no use here, unless I can reboot directly into the recovery menu. I found a pending.xml file under X:\Windows\WinSxS (not under C:) which I deleted and successfully ran sfc /scannow afterwards, but after reaching 100% I was left with the Windows Resource Protection message again, same as with the offline parameters.
Another suggestion I found was to try ICACLS C:\Windows\winsxs, which tells me that it successfully processed 1 file and failed processing 0 files, but that does not change anything on sfc.
As a last option I tried reverting to two of my images automatically created yesterday and two days ago, but each gave me this error:

System restore failed to extract the original copy of the directory from the restore point.
  Source: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps
  Destination: AppxStaging
  An unspecified error occured during System Restore. (0x80070057)

Here is my CBS.log
And my SrtTrail
For information, the blackscreen problem started suddenly after I left my computer running through the night to finish some downloading (not installing anything), but it's possible that a BSOD occured during the time, which I am getting at least once a week these days (for numerous errors that I'm never able to fix)
Edit: Just finished downloading and creating a bootable recovery DVD, tried the above steps through it but it doesn't seem to be any different.

Dubai halts Uber X and Careem's Go ride options
News • 02 September, 2019

Ride-hailing giant Uber and its UAE-based partner Careem have halted their cheapest ride options in Dubai, following a decision by the emirate's transport authority.
Dubai's Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has decided to stop the Uber X service and Careem's Go car service from September 1 after both pilot projects came to an end, the companies said in separate statements on Sunday, without providing reasons.
A spokesman from RTA said both "Uber X and Careem Go were introduced as short-term pilot e-hailing services for customers seeking an economy option. All this was done to compare and evaluate existing and new e-hailing services in the city and check on the feasibility of such technology and services in the market."
Last week, Careem formed a partnership with the RTA to make more than half of the authority's taxi fleet available to book through its app by mid-September. Careem will list all 10,000 RTA taxis on the app by early next year.
Careem and the RTA created a joint venture company named Hala to operate the service, under which the former aims to forge other public sector partnerships.
"As a result [of the pilots with Uber and Careem], RTA decided to incorporate the entire fleet of over 10,000 taxis onto the platform," RTA said in a statement to The National. "This includes all the taxi franchise companies in Dubai through Hala, an economical e-hailing service. Other economical ehailing services like Uber X and Careem Go, which operated as pilot, were thus requested to cease operations, with a set deadline over a few months ago."

You guys really came through with the Formspring questions in the last week! I decided to leave some out of the blog re-post that were more of a conversation between a friend and I, but here's the rest!
Hi! how did you do your layout? thanks!
I've had many stages of my layout over time! The one thing I finally started doing was if someone had a blog with a feature I liked I'd google different search terms to figure out what it was called, and then how to do it. For instance, I found someone with the three column layout, loved it, and wanted it for my blog. I found someone else who gave explicit directions where you copy and paste the code into your blog, and it worked! Make sure you export your current blog though, under settings/basic. That way if you totally mess up you can just import the old version so it's like nothing ever went wrong! Definitely had to do that a few times!
Probably mind-reading! Not flying, I'd be too scared.
I am!! There should be a button on the right side of my page that leads you to my profile, but you can find me there as 'susannahbean'. I don't use it very much anymore though. I only look up patterns and stuff.
Why do you blog? how do you get people interested and noticing your blog?
I started a livejournal when I was 16 or 17 because my friends had them, and it seemed like all the cool girls that I was envious of were doing it. It didn't really go anywhere until I started knitting, then I joined a couple knitting communities and made some lj-friends that way. When I switched to blogger I had no idea what I was doing, and I actually deleted a ton of posts before this iteration of susannahbean came about. Originally my blog was all about knitting, I would show off what projects I was working on or what yarn I bought, but you reach a small audience that way. I really started having a successful blog this year, maybe around February/March. I started posting regularly about things other than knitting and really found my groove with how I blog/what I blog about. I've made some really great friends that have helped me out (whether they know it or not) by featuring me or linking to me.
As far as getting people interested, I honestly don't know what it is about my blog that keep people coming back, other than that I try to be as unpretentious as possible. My blog is an almost perfect representation of who I am in real life. If I'm having a bad day, I'll share it! I think once I got the hang of designing and customizing my blog people started sticking around more. To me, it's important to have a blog that looks put-together and visually appealing.
I think it's important to network, find other blogs you like and leave comments often! You'll meet people that way, and other people will see your name more often.
What makes you read someones blog?
1. I like blogs that are visually appealing. That doesn't mean just a nice header or background, but pretty pictures and stuff too. I invested a lot of time learning how to customize my blog and I think it's important to give off a certain aesthetic.
2. I really, REALLY appreciate when the person is down to earth. I can only think of a few blogs that I read where I wouldn't be able to recognize the person's face or name. I think it's important to be able to connect with the person through their blog. I read very few blogs that don't include posts about the person's day-to-day life.
3. I like to be inspired by other blogs I read. Whether it's through attitude, style, craft, or any other possibility.
4. I like blogs that are interesting and well-written. I know I let my fair share of typos slip by, but i think there's something to be said about blogs that seem well thought out and that the person put effort into it. I follow quite a few blogs that I end up not reading the posts of because the person just rambles incoherently.
5. I appreciate when people change things up. I know some of my blog friends get flack for doing daily features, but I think it's fun to see what other people stumble across on the internet!
I hope I don't sound too critical!
I'd have to say losing the people I love. I can't even think about it.
Kind of a lighter mousy/ashy brown. I think. I haven't seen much more than my roots in like 11 years!
We dated off and on my senior year of high school/freshman year of college, but it didn't end well and we didn't talk or see each other for over two years. Then we reconnected, and this time around it's been 3 and 1/2 years!
I usually do something crafty every day. There's been very few days in the last six or so years that I haven't done something crafty!
These are good questions. I totally agree with you on the pretentious, everything in my life is perfect bloggers. I just can't relate, so I don't read them. I'm all for being positive, but I don't like blogs that seem fake.
I think the first post I read on your blog was a bummer one that I could totally relate to... a lame job & I have been coming back ever since!
I also see a lot of redundant trends. Like "everyone else likes this, so I am going to like it too!" I try not to read those blogs, because I feel like I have read "those posts" a million times. I think it is really important to have a unique voice and unique thoughts & not just a jump on the bandwagon mindset.


In Pennsylvania, employees can generally collect unemployment compensation benefits when they are terminated (unless they engaged in willful misconduct). However, under some circumstances, employees can collect unemployment compensation benefits even when they voluntarily quit their jobs. The employee must have a "necessitous and compelling" reason for leaving though.
In Philadelphia Housing Authority v. UCBR, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania addressed whether speculation over ongoing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations can be that "necessitous and compelling" reason. The employee had a pretty sweet pension plan, but the CBA was about to expire. He was worried that he would lose those benefits (or at least that they would be drastically reduced) under the new CBA so he retired.
[B]ecause Claimant's decision to retire was based upon speculation about the terms of a future CBA and how those might affect his pension benefits, Claimant's decision to voluntarily retire at a point in time when he perceived his pension terms to be most favorable for him did not provide him with a necessitous and compelling reason to quit.
Therefore, the employee was not eligible for UC benefits under Pennsylvania law.

Is Your Self Service As Good As Your Client Service?
The lawyer who acts for himself or herself has a fool for a client.
No, that's not a commentary on all lawyers. It's a warning about the hazards of trying to serve yourself with your own professional services. In most cases, it just doesn't work.
In addition to our professional training and experience, as service professionals we also bring our objectivity to the services that we deliver to clients. It is this objectivity that allows us to identify factors that are so familiar to clients that they overlook them. In most cases, these familiar factors are identify counter-productive habits and practices that prevent clients from achieving the results they want.
Having identified our clients' counter-productive habits and practices, we then work with our clients to figure out how to change their counter-productive habits and practices. At this point, we draw upon our professional training and experience to offer alternative and more productive approaches.
Whenever we self-serve, we are like our clients whose counter-productive habits and practices are so familiar that we don't even notice them. And since we have missed the very factors that prevent us from achieving the results we want, how can we possible develop better, more productive behaviors and habits?
In other words, is the service that you provide to yourself as good…i.e. as objective…as the professional service that you deliver to clients?

Motorist fined for making false report to gardai following Limerick crash
Kilmallock Courthouse
A MOTORIST was fined €200 after he admitted making a false report to gardai that his car had been stolen when, in fact, he had crashed it.
Jason Hayes, aged 42, who has an address at Killala Gardens, Knocknaheeny, Cork City pleaded guilty to giving false information to gardai that an offence had been committed.
Inspector Sandra Heelan told Kilmallock Court that on May 17, 2018, the defendant contacted gardai and reported the unauthorised taking of his vehicle.
"It was not stolen. It was crashed (at an unknown location in the Bruff garda district). He made the report to disguise the crash," explained Insp Heelan at a court hearing before Christmas.
An investigation was launched following the initial report that the car had been stolen and after gardai established what had actually occurred a decision was taken to prosecute Mr Hayes.
The matter came before Kilmallock Court as the crash occurred in County Limerick.
Under the provisions of the Criminal Law Act, 1976 it is an offence to "knowingly make a false report or statement" that leads to a waste of garda time and resources.
Kevin Power, solicitor for Mr Hayes, said his client was driving home when he crashed the vehicle.
"He was fully insured. I asked him why he did it. He said he panicked and didn't want to take responsibility. It is very strange. It is hard to get your head around his thought process to make that report. The only person that can answer is himself. He apologises wholeheartedly," said Mr Power who sought leniency on behalf of his client.
Noting the defendant's guilty plea and his remorse Judge Marian O'Leary recorded a conviction and fined Mr Hayes €200.

[[Image: Always096bellancaaircrakk7.jpg |thumb|right|350px| Bellanca 8KCAB Super Decathlon seen in [[Always]].]] The 8KCAB Decathlon and Super Decathlon are two-seat fixed conventional gear light airplanes designed for flight training and personal use and capable of sustaining aerobatic stresses between +6g and -5g. The Decathlon entered production in the United States in 1970 as a more powerful and stronger complement to the Citabria line of aircraft. The Decathlon entered production at Champion Aircraft Corporation in 1972, immediately before the company was acquired by Bellanca Aircraft Corporation, so only a handful were produced by Champion. Bellanca continued production of the Decathlon throughout the 1970s, moving to the Super Decathlon variant during 1976. Bellanca built over 600 of the 8KCAB design before production of the aircraft was interrupted when the company's assets were liquidated in 1981. American Champion Aircraft Corporation acquired the Decathlon design, along with the 8GCBC Scout and the group of Citabria and Champ variants, in 1990, bringing the Super Decathlon version back into production that same year. It is still being produced.

Notice how 'white' is so easily and commonly thrown around as a pejorative by Democrats. No one would do this to any other race. [Abortion, Racism, SCOTUS]
Aug 28, 2021 ~ The Supreme court shot down the Biden administration 'eviction moratorium' that was absurdly extended by the CDC. Biden said it was unconstitutional when he did it but did it anyway. Its very sad that 3 #SCOTUS justices thought the CDC had the power to nullify rental agreements. [Coronavirus, SCOTUS]
Aug 28, 2021 ~ The Supreme Court ordered Biden to reinstate the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), AKA the "Remain-in-Mexico" policy that was so successful at controlling illegal immigration during the Trump administration. Biden's unconstitutional orders keep getting shot down by SCOTUS. [Illegal Immigration, SCOTUS]
Aug 4, 2021 ~ Biden enacts a 60-day eviction moratorium allegedly authorized by the CDC. The Supreme Court has ruled that this is unconstitutional and Biden has admitted that himself. It is also completely unjustified based on the current #COVID19 death rate. [Coronavirus, SCOTUS]
Jul 4, 2021 ~ The Supreme Court upholds the Arizona voter integrity law which banned ballot harvesting and throws out ballots cast in the wrong precinct. The DNC falsely claimed those provisions discriminated against minorities. Doesn't bode well for the bogus DOJ lawsuit against GA's law. [Fake Racism, Politics, SCOTUS, Voter Integrity Laws]
Jan 26, 2021 ~ The Supreme Court threw out both cases against President Trump involving the 'Emoluments Clause.' This was one of many bogus lines of attacks Democrats used to try to bring Trump down. [SCOTUS, Trump Win]
Nov 29, 2020 ~ SCOTUS rules against Cuomo in 'Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo' Cuomo tried to 'limit the capacity of churches and synagogues to ten people' while having no restrictions in other situations. [Religious Freedom, SCOTUS]
Nov 3, 2020 ~ Nancy Pelosi call Amy Coney Barrett "an illegitimate Supreme Court justice." Shades of when they all called @realDonaldTrump "an illegitimate President" and many skipped his inauguration because he was "illegitimate". [Loathsome Left, SCOTUS]
Nov 3, 2020 ~ On election night MSNBC host Joy Reid proves she hasn't learned anything since the 2016 election saying that the close election means 'there's a great amount of racism and anti-blackness' in the US. No it doesn't but calling Justice Thomas 'Uncle Clarence' is real racism. [Fake News, Fake Racism, Racism, SCOTUS]
Oct 30, 2020 ~ Amy Coney Barrett's sorority, Kappa Delta was the next to cave to the left wing #CancelCulture mob. They can't even congratulate their own sister for becoming a Supreme Court Justice without the left demanding retraction. Very disappointing that everyone caves to the bullies. [Cancel Culture, Loathsome Left, SCOTUS, Silencing]
Oct 28, 2020 ~ The GirlScouts deleted their post congratulating Justice Barrett sending the message that there is only one acceptable way to be female. The way the left wing #CancelCulture mob demands. And girls are not tough and strong. Apply a little pressure and they fold like a cheap tent. [Cancel Culture, Gender, SCOTUS, Silencing]
Oct 26, 2020 ~ Senator Ed Markey @SenMarkey made this ridiculous comment, 'Originalism is racist. Originalism is sexist. Originalism is homophobic. Originalism is just a fancy word for discrimination.' This is Democrats in a nutshell. False accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia etc. etc. [Fake Homophobia, Fake Racism, Fake Sexism, SCOTUS]
Oct 26, 2020 ~ Democrats charge 'systemic racism' because Judge Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed but Garland was not for Obama. Obviously because Obama was black. As usual, it had less than nothing to do with that. The difference is that the Senate and the Presidency are held by the same party. [Fake Racism, SCOTUS]
Oct 26, 2020 ~ The Senate confirms Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court of the United States. Judge Barrett was sworn in by Justice Clarence Thomas. Congratulations Justice Barrett and President Donald Trump! [SCOTUS, Trump Win]
Oct 22, 2020 ~ The Senate Judiciary Committee votes unanimously 12-0 to nominate Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be a Supreme Court Justice. The full floor vote is the next and final step. [SCOTUS, Trump Win]

'I think that this Court that we see developing now is a throwback to Ferguson and even Dred Scott.' Absolutely deranged. Clyburn calls for court packing. [Fake Racism, Loathsome Left, SCOTUS, Slavery]
Oct 18, 2020 ~ The Women's March is BACK BABY, for an important cause: Preventing a woman from getting on the Supreme Court. Thousands in close proximity with no social distancing. But its OK because their message (calling Trump a 'penis') transcends safety. #WomensMarch2020 #WomensMarch [Abortion, SCOTUS, Women's March]
Oct 14, 2020 ~ Hillary Clinton looks ridiculous criticizing ACB's 'originalism', having no idea that originalism includes the amendments, 'At the time the Constitution was ratified, women couldn't vote, much less be judges.' This was supposed to be the 'smartest woman' on Earth. [Hillary, SCOTUS]
Oct 14, 2020 ~ Sen. Hirono looks ridiculous scolding ACB for using the term 'sexual preference' which she says is 'offensive'. Immediately montages show dems including Biden and RBG using it. Webster dictionary changes the definition to match Hirono. The Advocate used the phrase a few weeks ago [Cancel Culture, LGBT, Loathsome Left, SCOTUS]
Oct 14, 2020 ~ .@benshapiro debunked the Democrat lie that confirming ACB goes against 'norms'.

Oct 14, 2020 ~ Democrats being their vile selves regarding ACB. Michael Moore alters a picture to make her match a Handmaiden outfit.

Oct 12, 2020 ~ Dems getting called out for lying on multiple shows. Chris Coons says Trump is 'court packing' by filling vacant seats. Chris Wallace, 'you're not being straight with me and you're not answering my question... that's different than changing the number of justices on the court.' [Biden, SCOTUS]
Oct 12, 2020 ~ .@JoeBiden is asked "Don't the voters deserve to know" his position on #SCOTUS packing. "No they don't deserve." says the man who thinks you should vote for him without knowing where he stands on the issues. After you're stuck with him, you deserve to find out what he will do. [Biden, SCOTUS]
Oct 11, 2020 ~ ACB cannot preview how she would rule per the 'The Ginsburg Rule' 'A judge sworn to decide impartially can offer no forecasts, no hints, for that would show not only disregard for the specifics of the particular case, it would display disdain for the entire judicial process.' [SCOTUS]
Sep 28, 2020 ~ Democrats are shocked and disappointed to learn the Ruth Bader Ginsburg only had one black law clerk in 40 years. Amy Coney Barrett has twice as many black children as RBG had clerk for her during her entire career. [Race, SCOTUS]
Sep 26, 2020 ~ After the Kavanaugh disgrace, Democrats waste no time setting new lows going after ACB and her kids. 'Transracial adoption is fraught with trauma and potential for harm.'

Sep 26, 2020 ~ President Trump nominates Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. She says, 'I love the United States, and I love the United States Constitution.' She says she shares Scalia's 'judicial philosophy' 'A judge must apply the law as written. Judges are not policymakers.' [SCOTUS, Trump Win]
Sep 24, 2020 ~ Trump goes to Supreme Court to pay respects to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Democrats, rude as usual, boo him and Melania loudly and chant 'Vote him out'. Needless to say, this kind of loathsome behavior always and only comes from Democrats. They have no shame or civility. [Loathsome Left, SCOTUS]
Sep 22, 2020 ~ President Trump is considering Amy Coney Barrett to replace Justice Ginsburg. Already dems start smearing. Actual headline: 'This is Amy Coney Barrett. The Potential RGB replacement Who Hates Your Uterus.' Other #FakeNews said her Catholic group inspired The Haidmaiden's Tale. [Abortion, Fake News, SCOTUS]
Sep 22, 2020 ~ Joe Biden on confirming a SCOTUS candidate, "I would go forward with a confirmation process as chairman, even a few months before a presidential election, if the nominee were chosen with the advice, and not merely the consent, of the Senate, just as the Constitution requires."

Sep 21, 2020 ~ Isaac Schorr, 'The Myth of Merrick Garland's Poor Treatment' Garland was not confirmed but his treatment was infinitely better than the way Democrats treated Bork, Thomas and Kavanaugh who they smeared and slandered in cartoonishly evil ways.

Sep 20, 2020 ~ In 2016 Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Scalia's seat needed to be filled because '8 is not a good number.' 'An equal division is essentially the same as a denial of review. Eight, as you know, is not a good number for a multi-member court.' [SCOTUS]

Sep 19, 2020 ~ Democrats and the #FakeNews claim that McConnell is being hypocritical for wanting to confirm a Trump SCOTUS pick in an election year when the refused to vote on Garland in 2016.

Sep 19, 2020 ~ Biden in 2016: 'Article 2 of the Constitution clearly states whenever there is a vacancy in one of the courts created by the Constitution itself ... the president shall, not may, the president shall appoint someone to fill the vacancy with the advice and consent of the Senate.'

Help/Systems (Minnetonka, Minn.), developer of the Robot Automated Operations Solution for the iSeries 400 and AS/400 systems, has announced the product now supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), and version 4.0 of Robot/ALERT can now notify operators and administrators of critical system events by e-mail.
Using Robot/NETWORK and SNMP, users can set up a TCP/IP or SNA network of multiple iSeries and AS/400 machines that escalates system events from Nodes to designated Hosts to an enterprise monitor for immediate attention. The communication is one-way; events are sent to the enterprise monitor, but replies cannot be sent back to Robot/NETWORK.
Robot/NETWORK is Help/Systems free network management software for managing iSeries and AS/400 networks running Robot Automated OperationsSolution products. SNMP is a popular TCP/IP network management standard that is supported by most UNIX-based and NT-based enterprise management tools. SNMP sends system data (such as exceptions) in a predefined structure (or trap) for interpretation and use by enterprise monitor software.
With Robot/ALERT now being able to notify operators and administrators of critical events by e-mail, the product maintains security because the TCP/IP port can send messages out only. Help/Systems indicate that the new feature is easy to set up, and the enhancement is for Release 4.0, Modification level 25, dated 10/27/00.

DC Insurance Commissioner Fired After Obamacare Criticism
City officials dismissed William P. White for releasing a statement without approval.
Written by Benjamin Freed
| Published on November 18, 2013
William P. White, DC's insurance commissioner who oversaw the creation of the city's new health insurance exchange, was fired Friday, a day after airing his disagreement with President Obama's decision to relax one of the major provisions of his health care overhaul.
White's firing, first reported by the Washington Post, came after higher-ups in the District government said he made a severe error in judgment by releasing a statement critical of the President without approval from Mayor Vince Gray's office. Not even an e-mail and a call to Gray's cell phone were enough to spare White the ax for speaking out of turn.
Obama's announcement last Thursday, in which he sought to quell anger from people whose current insurance plans are being canceled because they don't comply with the new health-care law, was quickly followed by disapproving statements from White and his counterparts around the country.
In his statement, White said the administration's move "undercuts the purpose of the exchanges." White submitted his statement to Gray's press office for review, but it was posted online about 20 minutes later, before Gray's staff responded. The statement was quickly taken down, and White then heard from his superiors, including Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Victor Hoskins and City Administrator Allen Lew.
"I thought I had saved up enough political capital," White told the Post. Apparently, he hadn't saved enough to afford talking out of class.

Q: Change Android app language with out restarting the app using Restring library I am using Restring library to load localized strings on my app. And I am able to load localized strings from the api and display it on the app, with out any issues. But the pitfall is every time the language is switched, I have to restart the app, then only the language is updated on the app. But I need to achieve it without restarting the app. Any help is appreciated. I already referred some links, which I am providing below,
https://proandroiddev.com/change-language-programmatically-at-runtime-on-android-5e6bc15c758
https://medium.com/@hamidgh/dynamically-change-bundled-strings-a24b97bfd306
Change app language programmatically in Android

Note: Restring uses SharedPreferences as the String Repository, so
  when ever getString(id) method is invoked, it'll provide the string
  matching the id from its SharedPrefernces repository.

A: You can use a new version of Restring (based on the one you are using) from here:
https://github.com/B3nedikt/restring
It includes a method to update your activity without any restart.
Restring.reword(rootView) will look into all child views of "rootView" and update strings
   Restring.setLocale(Locale.FRENCH);

   // The layout containing the views you want to localize

   final View rootView = getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content);

   Restring.reword(rootView);

It also explains how to make sure each activity will get the desired strings when created:
in all activities, add:
@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
  super.attachBaseContext(ViewPumpContextWrapper.wrap(Restring.wrapContext(newBase)));
}

@Override
public Resources getResources() {
  return Restring.wrapContext(getBaseContext()).getResources();
}

A: I would recommend applying View-Model in your android app architecture, A View-Model's major role is to survive configuration changes (which includes but are not limited to orientation changes from landscape to portrait and vice-versa, surviving drastic changes in app's performance stats like power-drain and many more) so you will not need to restart yoour app + additionally use live-Data which is Activity/Fragment aware so it will only update your data of the app when it is in foreground.
There are many YouTube videos specifically teaching these things, I would recommend watching "coding in flow" YouTube channel's MVVM architecture.
It will definitely give you an idea how to continue with your app, it is only 10 videos long but for your requirement first 5 are enough.

Portraits In Posthumanity: Aimee Mullins
A one-time intelligence analyst with the Pentagon, Aimee Mullins is an athlete, model, and activist. And she does it all using a collection of experimental prosthetic legs. She says her special "cheetah" legs give her superpowers.
On her website, Mullins gives a quick background on how she got where she is today:
Born without fibulae in both legs, Aimee's medical prognosis was bleak; she would never walk and indeed would spend the rest of her life using a wheelchair. In an attempt for an outside chance at independent mobility, doctors amputated both her legs below the knee on her first birthday. The decision paid off. By age two, she had learned to walk on prosthetic legs, and spent her childhood doing the usual athletic activities of her peers: swimming, biking, softball, soccer, and skiing, always alongside "able-bodied" kids.
When Mullins was in college at Georgetown:
She set her sights on making the US Team for the 1996 Atlanta Games. She enlisted the expertise of Frank Gagliano, one of the country's most respected track coaches. Through this partnership, she became the first woman with a "disability" to compete in the NCAA, doing so on Georgetown's nationally-ranked Division I track team. Outfitted with woven carbon-fiber prostheses that were modeled after the hind legs of a cheetah, she went on to set World Records in the 100 meter, the 200 meter, and the long jump, sparking a frenzy over the radical design of her prototype sprinting legs.
Several other athletes have used the legs developed for Mullins, and they have set a new standard for prosthetic legs that allow the wearer to participate in sports.
Here's an incredibly interesting video where Mullins talks about how her legs give her superpowers:
What makes Mullins posthuman is her attitude toward her prosthetics. She doesn't view them as "fixing" something, but rather as augmentations. She wants them to be beautiful, to give her superpowers, to be parts of her body that people look at with admiration. With her public speaking and athletics, Mullins has popularized the idea that synthetic body parts are something to show off, rather than hide.

Q: Can Aerospike be used to store large values? we have a requirement where we would need to store large values (up to 3MB) in a key value store. While we have memcache setup right now, we would want to experiment with aerospike given its performance benchmarks (although with values within a few KBs). I read in the aerospike config about the write-block-size that cannot go beyond 1MB. Does that mean I cannot store value pairs more than 1MB? Or if I can go beyond 1MB, then what should be the acceptable performance benchmarks considering 50/50 read-write).

A: We see that you posted the same issue on the Aerospike forum, here. Below is the answer that @kporter gave; if there are follow-up questions, please continue the discussion on that thread:
"That is correct: presently, records are limited to the write-block-size. For larger objects, Aerospike has Large Lists, but again, each list element will be limited to the write-block-size.
Regarding your question, 'If I can go beyond 1MB, then what should be the acceptable performance benchmarks considering 50/50 read-write', I do not know the precise answer to this question, but the LDT operations are currently significantly slower than normal operations".
