Ted Danson For 'Mayor'? It Is As Unbelievable As It Sounds
by Adam Buckman , Featured Columnist, January 6, 2021
With our national politics in turmoil, and our culture wars at a fever pitch, this would not seem to be an opportune time to introduce a lighthearted comedy series about a wealthy, gadfly-ish outsider who is elected to the first and only public office he has ever held.
Nevertheless, this is what NBC intends to do Thursday night when it introduces this new comedy, "Mr. Mayor," with two back-to-back episodes starting at 8 p.m. Eastern.
This show appears to be a creation of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, who formerly collaborated on "30 Rock" and other shows.
Fey and Carlock are two of the executive producers on "Mr. Mayor."
With this in mind, it is reasonable to assume that "Mr. Mayor" will try to do for a big-city mayor's office what "30 Rock" did for network television -- namely, give us a high-spirited, satirical look behind the scenes at a high-profile, fictional workplace. In this case, it is the office of the mayor of Los Angeles and his eccentric staff.
One of the attractive qualities of "30 Rock" was that its creators (or at least one of them, Tina Fey) had an intimate knowledge of the workplace the show depicted -- a network variety show produced at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, like "Saturday Night Live."
The same cannot be said about the fictional mayor's office in "Mr. Mayor." In the first two episodes (which the TV Blog previewed), the snappy dialogue seems forced and the situations contrived.
This fictional mayor's office feels as if it is based mainly on other such depictions from TV shows and movies that are already far removed from the real thing.
In "Mr. Mayor," the titular figure is played by Ted Danson, who is beginning to seem like the only 73-year-old sitcom actor anyone ever calls when there is a role available for a man his age.
His mayor character is a single father with a 15-year-old daughter. She is a character we see much too much of in the first two episodes of the series.
Unless NBC feels strongly that putting her front and center in every show will somehow draw a coveted group of teens to this show, which happens to be headlined by a man in his 70s, then the network should shelve that notion and rein in the father-daughter storyline.
On the other hand, a number of the adult characters in the show -- most notably the mayor's aides -- are usually seen wringing their hands, complaining about their lives in sing-song voices and/or rolling their eyes. They are teens in adults' clothing.
In addition to Danson, the other boldfaced name in the cast of "Mr. Mayor" is Holly Hunter, 62, who plays an ultra-liberal city councilwoman who stands in opposition to everything the new mayor wants to do. The character, at least as seen in the first two episodes, is charmless.
For that matter, none of the characters in this show are particularly likable, starting with the mayor himself. It is possible we are supposed to think of him as roguishly charming in some way. But unfortunately, Ted Danson is not Cary Grant.
It is possible the writers of this show set out to position their fictional outlier turned-mayor character as a likable version of Donald Trump. But they might have created a better character if they had made their mayor and his personality a little more edgy -- like Trump, only better.
Surprisingly, given the various people who have come together to make "Mr. Mayor," the show is a dud.
"Mr. Mayor" premieres Thursday (January 7) at 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC.

Have you ever wondered how consumers discover, shop and buy in an age of digital disruption? This is something I am going to find out from October 9 to 11 while attending this year´s Shoptalk Europe in Copenhagen. We are happy to be serving as a media partner at the event. Shoptalk Europe will focus on innovation in retail and E-commerce, bringing together established retailers, brands, startups, tech companies, investors, analysts and media. Over 2,000 attendants are expected, including more than 200 speakers from around Europe. I am looking forward to being a part of the event this year – and to my first visit to Copenhagen.
Looking at the event´s agenda, I was overtaken by the variety of topics and different session types such as fireside chats, keynotes and presentations. Additionally, the diversity of speakers is impressive: E-commerce representatives ranging from startups such as 3D hubs and Volumental, to famous brands such as Ikea, Google and Tesco. There is also a broad range of industries in attendance, from grocery to fashion and everything in between. No matter if it's a startup or an established brand, a lot of the speakers are the companies´ founder or CEO.
The event´s topics underline the change in global retail and E-commerce. New technologies, trends and business models are a part of nearly all the speeches and keynotes.
The richness of speakers and keynotes made it difficult for me to decide which ones I want to attend. As I am very enthusiastic about logistics and supply chain topics, I finally decided where to go.
On my first day, I am especially looking forward to the track "On-Demand Delivery & Logistics" with the keynote "Innovations in Logistics" to learn more about the latest logistics trends in retail. In sessions 2 and 3, I am going to visit both parts of "Last-Mile Fulfillment, Same Day and Pickup". I am interested to hear how leading retailers' and startups' ongoing investments in technology, people and partnerships, are improving last-mile infrastructure and their impact on customer acquisition and retention.
After the first sessions, there will be presentations, keynotes and fireside chats with the CEOs of interesting E-commerce companies, such as Pinterest and Hello Fresh. Following this, I am looking forward to finding out more about "Disrupting the Retail Value Chain" from leading managers, CEOs and founders of well-known retailers such as Mister Spex, Hawkers, and Eve Sleep. These companies are focused on a single product category and disrupting the retail value chain by creating new direct-to-consumer brands, avoiding some traditional retail inefficiencies. In the evening, I hope to discuss the new insights and impressions with my fellow attendees.
I decided to start day 2 with Track 4 "Measuring & Optimizing the New Store Experience" as I am very interested in the current status of store analytics and the applied technology. I also want to know how the acquired data is used to develop the shopping experience in brick and mortar stores. In later sessions, I am excited to hear from companies such as Google, IBM and Shop Direct on what the opportunities and future use cases in retail are for the rising technologies: Artificial Intelligence, Augmented and Virtual Reality.
After a break with exciting keynotes from Picnic founder Joris Beckers and Amazon Prime Now Director Mariangela Marseglia, I am going to finish the day with Track 2 "IoT and Connected Commerce." I hope to find out more about the transformation of shopping due to the Internet of Things and the impact on retail locations and operations.
My last day at Shoptalk Europe will start with two really interesting fireside chats with Michael Ward, Managing Director of Harrods, and Philip Krim, Co-Founder and CEO of Casper as well as a keynote by Julia Bösch, founder and Managing Director at Outfittery.
Shoptalk Europe´s agenda addresses the changes in E-commerce and retail on various levels through announcements, debates and questions. I am very excited to expand my knowledge, identify trends and learn from the industry´s thought leaders.
The variety of interesting sessions does not make it an easy decision as to which talks to attend. However, the wide thematic range allows a differentiated view on the E-commerce industry and gives many opportunities to obtain valuable information.
I am looking forward to networking with the industry's top leaders and gaining new insights into the current challenges, best practices and strategies in retail and E-commerce. If you are interested in finding out more about the program, click here.

This is a sequel to Jane Austen's Emma, beginning around 18 months into the Knightley's marriage and all is not well in Highbury. The story begins really quite depressingly; news of a death, and the realisation that Emma and Knightley are emotionally not very close – they have kept up their respective roles of spoiled child and advisor. The story then moves onto a bankruptcy and another death. I had to take a break from this book and come back to it, misery piles upon misery and through it all Emma and Knightley get further and further apart.
At the end of 'Emma' I felt that Emma had matured somewhat and gained a better level of understanding but here the character has reverted to the clueless character of two years before. It is also disappointing to see Mr Knightley constantly pulling away from his wife, he is hardly ever there, and when he is he's usually leaving! Since Mr Knightley provides Emma with so little friendship it is comprehendible that she wouldn't confide in him but I don't feel that would be in line with Emma's character, I think in the circumstances in the story Emma would have felt obliged to tell him of certain events. There was also a reliance on the couple mistaking the other's feelings in the same way that was cleared up in 'Emma' and I felt it was unlikely that they'd both do this again. Plus all this was cleared up in literally five pages, and there must have been so many opportunities for this to be cleared up much more quickly, it seemed unlikely to me that it would have dragged on for so long.
There were some things I liked very much about this book; the style of the writing is really very good, it's witty and ironic and it reminded me of the original book. Emma's sister Isabella is a very minor character in 'Emma' and here she is fleshed out much more, which I thought was done really well. There are also some original characters, most notably Mrs Philomena Tidmarsh, who is an intelligent widow who befriends Emma for a mixture of reasons. However, despite all these positives, the sad subject matter and bad state of the relationship between Emma and Knightley, which I felt was unlikely, meant that I found this book hard going to read.


But it would be even better to be yourself while being a unicorn. All the magical horse powers, none of the problems of real life and school and adulthood. Unicorns don't have to go to school. Aspire to be a unicorn instead of a person with this funny, nerdy unicorn mug.

The Long March 4A (), also known as the Changzheng 4A, CZ-4A and LM-4A, sometimes misidentified as the Long March 4 due to the lack of any such designated rocket, was a Chinese orbital carrier rocket. It was launched from Launch Area 7 at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. It was a three-stage rocket, used for two launches in 1988 and 1990. On its maiden flight, on 6 September 1988, it placed the FY-1A weather satellite into orbit. On its second, and final, flight it launched another weather satellite, FY-1B.

A few days after the launch of FY-18, the third-stage of the CZ-4A launch vehicle exploded in the 895 km orbit, creating more than 80 pieces of space debris. This incident led to a redesign of the rocket to include a residual propellant venting system. A venting system was not included in the 4a because the of concern that it would damage the satellite.

It was replaced by a derivative, the Long March 4B, which first flew in 1999. The Long March 4B offers a more powerful third stage, and a larger payload fairing.

Some of you might wonder, is it legal to torture in the USA?This follows the uproar of the new Donald Trump administration that wants to reintroduce the act.It must be noted that The United States is a party to the following conventions (international treaties) that prohibits torture, such as the 1949 Geneva Conventions (signed 1949; ratified 1955), the American Convention on Human Rights (signed 1977), the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
has warned that the UK could be forced to limit the intelligence it shares with the US on suspected terror plots if President Trump brings back the dreaded act. This was made clear only hours after Trump declared that water boarding and other harsh interrogation techniques may be reintroduced.
Theresa May said that she absolutely condemns the use. The UK's rules state that officials will not share intelligence with countries if it involves a serious risk of a detainee being tortured, or that is how the information was obtained. The split threatens to create major tensions in the relationship between British spies and their US counterparts.

"When I first heard, and then bought, the Ypsilon VPS-100 phono preamplifier, I concluded that its designer, Demetris Baklavas, was some kind of genius. His PST-100 preamp didn't shake that conclusion, but I was somewhat disappointed with the original Aelius. With the Hyperion, I must again characterize Baklavas as an electronics design genius whose name deserves mention alongside the more familiar names you probably know. He's seriously underrated, and deserving of greater acclamation.

Offering by far the most customisation of any kind of doors available, our popular collection of white internal doors thanks to their white colour can be re-painted & finished to fit your preferences, thus if you were to ever change a decor style you wouldn't need to worry about purchasing a new door to match the new style!
Often chosen for their cleaner look, internal white doors can act as a base for far more decorative choices as these doors are great for painting and finishing, this allows you to create a door that will suit your exact tastes. Combined with their affordability plus the wide amount of styles & sizes we have on offer such as White Bi-Folds, Room Dividers & many others, it is easy to see why they're so popular. Any trimming or other modifications to the door can be easily masked as the colour and finish of the door can be reapplied to hide any notable changes. This makes internal white doors the perfect choice for DIY projects or bespoke work.


Last week on 5 July 2017 the Fair Work Commission (FWC) handed down a significant decision in relation to casual work. (FWC  FWCFB 3541) This blog looks at the ramifications of one aspect of the decision, the 'casual conversion' issue.
The FWC has agreed to an ACTU claim to insert into all awards a provision allowing casuals who work a regular pattern of hours over at least 12 months may, if they wish, request that their employer convert the position to permanent part-time or full-time. The employer is permitted to refuse a request if it would entail a change in hours, or if the regular pattern is not ongoing or on some other reasonable grounds. Disputes about an employer's refusal will be dealt with under the award dispute resolution provision, which means the FWC may play a role. In addition, employers will be required to notify their casual employees of the terms of the new provision.
The final terms of the new common award provision will be the subject of further hearings before the Commission.
Will lots of casual workers gain permanency?
This is unlikely for a few reasons: only casuals who have worked a regular pattern of hours over twelve months are eligible, and there are ample grounds for an employer to reject the request. Many casual workers may prefer to remain casual, and receive the casual loading on top of their base pay, in which case they will not seek permanency. And any process of individual worker request for an entitlement is necessarily difficult because of the personal and power relations at play in the employment relationship. In particular, casual workers are legally vulnerable to changes in their working hours or a cessation of their engagement altogether.
Any such actions by an employer would breach the Fair Work Act's adverse action provisions, which protect workers who seek to exercise an employment right. However, not every worker is aware of this protection and has the confidence or resources to resist the unlawful actions of an employer.
Despite these limitations, I still think the decision represents an important development in Australian statutory labour law. I discuss some reasons below.
It is significant that the FWC accepted detailed evidence about the problems with casual work and decided that its obligations under the Act required it to act by creating a new general rule about conversion. In other words, the FWC has added to the architecture of labour regulation generally in order to inject some measure of protection for casual workers in Australia. As one in four or five jobs in Australia is casual, any shift in the rights and entitlements of those workers is important.
This becomes clear if we imagine the FWC rejecting the ACTU case in toto. Symbolically, this would have meant that there was no independent institutional recognition of the regulatory failures of the existing legal framework. Strong evidence was presented to the FWC of the existence of the oxymoronic 'permanent casual', where a significant group of workers are labelled casual, with the consequent loss of employment protections, yet work with regular patterns of hours and days over long periods, even years.
Casual workers receive a loading (eg 25% of the base rate of pay) designed to compensate for the absence of paid annual, sick leave and other entitlements which form the floor of working conditions for those workers who are permanent part-time or full-time. But the FWC noted that the concept of the leave loading did not capture all the disabilities associated with the reality of casual work: it held that the loading did not cover attending work while sick, inability to balance work and family, not taking leave for fear position would be lost, being subject to workplace changes without notice, lack of career path, diminished access to training and workplace participation, poor health and safety outcomes and the inability to obtain loans from financial institutions.
The Fair Work Act creates a multi-layered system for setting working conditions. The Act itself contains legislated standards (annual leave and personal leave, parental leave and so on) in the National Employment Standards. Importantly, workers employed as casuals do not have the benefit of most of the legal protections of the National Employment Standards. A second level of regulation is established through the so-called Modern Awards which set more detailed conditions and processes for workers in particular industries or occupations.
The third level is the system of enterprise bargaining under the Act, which permits changes in award conditions (up or down) provided workers end up better off over all than the underpinning award.
The Fair Work system creates rules about how these levels interact. The National Employment Standards are non-derogable – no award or agreement can set standards lowers than those in the Act, although workers badged as casuals are generally excluded from the operation of this part of the Act. Award conditions can be reduced through bargaining provided there is an offsetting increase in entitlements and so.
[Under the current system] 'the employer…notionally has the capacity to deny NES entitlements to anybody it employs, regardless of the incidents of employment' .
The FWC is charged by the Act with making 'the safety net' (ie the whole system of minimum working conditions) 'fair and relevant', and the FWC held that without some constraint employers could 'render the National Employment Standards irrelevant to a significant proportion of the workforce' simply by characterising those workers' employment as casual. This meant that casuals who worked regular hours each day and week over long periods of time would, without intervention by the FWC, remain without annual leave or sick leave or right to notice of workplace change and other legal entitlements.
The casual conversion mechanism may be a cautious, conservative intrusion into the unregulated use of casual employment in Australia, but it stands on this important principle: employers should not through their initial action in categorising work as casual be able to permanently exclude workers from their legal entitlements under the Act. The decision can be seen in the long line of national pay and conditions cases determined by the federal tribunal in all its guises: common features include lengthy, complex evidentiary arguments, a union claim vigorously contested by employers and other special interest lobbies, and a muted outcome which nonetheless takes the whole system of statutory labour regulation in Australia one step forward.


This is an opportunity to get information on student bus transportation, safe walk routes to school, and the school lunch program. Representatives from the Food Service and Transportation Departments will be available to answer questions. Kindergartners who will ride the bus are encouraged to get their bus ID badge during the event. For walkers, safety officials will be available to share information on safe walk routes. The YMCA will also have information on before and after school programs.


Drain-Net's Organic Drain Treatment Liquid is a superior biological treatment for degrading F.O.G. (fats, oil, grease) and other organic waste that cause blockages and odors in drains, pipes, and plumbing systems.
Simple to use! Innovative 64 oz bottle design that allows you to pour the right dosage directly into the drain without measuring,diluting, or creating a big mess.
The patented formulation of "good" bacteria removes F.O.G. (fats, oils, grease) through biological digestion. It contains no emulsifiers, added enzymes or other ingredients which may be frowned upon by local regulatory authorities and the environmental community.
One formulation for all drains! No need to buy lots of products. This can be used in sinks, floor drains, floor sinks, mop service basins, and any drain you need!
For Slow Drains: Apply 4 oz. per day directly into drain for 5 consecutive days or until drain flows freely.
For Grease Traps: Apply 1 gallon spread out over a month directly into grease trap. May also be applied with an injection pump and timer (auto dosers) for automated daily application.

Porsche introduced its 8th generation of the iconic 911 sports car on Wednesday, and the reaction, both positive and negative, was swift.
The car, which will be sold as a 2020 model, is larger and faster than the previous generation. Its front end is similar to last year's car, except for the larger, and squared-off mouth guard (with active aerodynamics). The wheel arches are more pronounced as well.
The tail lights have come in for considerable scrutiny. A single thin tail light bar runs across the back side of the car, replacing the dart shapes of the previous generation.
The 911 will have a longer wheelbase and wider track, as well as weigh in at about 120 pounds (~50kg) heavier.
There is a new interior as well, featuring a clean-with-screens dash inspired by the current Panamera, but it is the exterior that is getting all the attention at the moment.

Getting to the Azores and Getting Around
Obviously the impact of Covid-19 on the travel industry means there are currently restrictions on getting to and from the Azores, but here's what you need to know before you visit.
Written by: Roger Fulton
Last Updated: 08 Sep 2021
Every island in the Azores has its own commercial airport, however only five - Santa Maria, São Miguel, Pico, Terceira and Faial - have flight connections to mainland Portugal.
Ponta Delgada - João Paulo II Airport (PDL) is the busiest airport in the Azores and located on the biggest island, São Miguel.
You can currently fly direct from London Stansted to Ponta Delgada on São Miguel with Ryanair, and you can fly all year round from Heathrow via Lisbon with TAP Air Portugal.
Other countries where flights to the Azores are available include Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Switzerland as well as several airports in Portugal.
The following airlines fly to the Azores: TAP Air Portugal, Azores Airlines, Tui Fly, Ryanair, Iberia, Lufthansa and Swiss.
For details, see visitazores.com
Between islands
Flights: You can hop between the nine islands with Azores Airlines.
Boats: Atlanticoline run ferries between various islands. During winter, these only operate between the islands of the Central Group (São Jorge, Faial and Pico) and the Western Group (Flores and Corvo).
On the islands
The best way to get around is to rent a car, but there are also taxis and regular bus services on the bigger islands.
Currently, all passengers from the UK arriving at airports in the Azores must have evidence of a negative Covid-19 test performed up to 72 hours before flying here. Alternatively a test can be done upon arrival which will then require passengers to self-isolate for up to 48 hours until the test result comes back.
All updated information about Covid-19 restrictions will be found at visitazores.com/en/trip-info and covid19.azores.gov

No matter the outcome, the crossroads is a time of risk and opportunity.
Being that we are called "Story Crossroads," the crossroads symbol is of great importance.
No longer will things continue as they have always been. There is always a change—for good or ill—at the crossroads. With change, comes transformation.
At dusk, people in Japan say that one can hear the future or determine the fate of oneself or of others. A person walking at those crossroads could be a deity in disguise. Good fortune could abound if near the right traveler of these powers. Ever enjoy a fortune cookie also known as rice-crackers with paper fortunes inside? Some people would sell these edible delights at the crossroads.
The crossroads have also been a place of bad fortune. Witches, demons, or even the Devil himself could roam about this place as believed throughout Europe. The selling and taking of souls is a common practice there. The crossroads was often dedicated to Hecate, the goddess of magic, witchcraft, ghosts, and necromancy. Another Greek figure, Hercules, is sometimes depicted in art as being at the crossroads and choosing between the easy path of vice or the mountains of virtue.
Every criminal had a choice before choosing a nefarious life. Thus, several executions, such as by hanging, happened at the crossroads. Finally, the corpses were buried there, encouraging the rise and lingering of ghosts.
The shape of the crossroads, a "+," can mean where heaven and earth meet with the horizontal line being earth while the vertical line is heaven. However, when crossroads are on flat land, then there is equality with the lines and means partnership or coming into understanding.
"Bearskin" is a story collected by the Brothers Grimm. A man makes a deal with the devil at the crossroads. He must wear a coat for seven years, be called "Bearskin," and cannot bathe or cut his hair or nails that entire time.
"Godfather Death" is a story from Germany where a poor man who had his 13th child seeks a godfather at the great highway crossroads. The first one met was God, then the Devil, and finally Death. The man choose Death as he feels Death is fair no matter the status of someone. The son grows up and comes upon a symbolic crossroads when deciding to heal despite warnings by Death.
What stories do you know that involves a crossroads? Do you know any that involve the devil or a mischievous character? Do you know any that involve a crone or other disguised individual that offers good fortune? Please comment below and share with others of this post.
Crossroads fascinate me. Great post.

Cássia é um município brasileiro do estado de Minas Gerais, Região Sudeste do país. Pertence a Microrregião de Passos e ao Circuito Nascentes das Gerais. Dista 392 km da capital Belo Horizonte  e 719 km de Brasília. Possui uma área de 665,802 km² e sua população em julho de 2019 foi estimada em  habitantes.

História

Na década de 1850, uma parada de tropeiros próxima do distrito de Dores do Aterrado (futuro município de Ibiraci) foi se ampliando com moradores fixos, até que se formou o povoado de Santa Rita de Cássia — nome oriundo da santa em cuja homenagem foi erigida uma capela no local onde hoje se ergue o santuário de Santa Rita.

A lei provincial nº 1.271, de 2 de janeiro de 1866, elevou o povoado a distrito, com o nome de Jacuí. Em 1890, o distrito ganhou estatuto de vila, sendo o município instalado no mesmo ano.

Em 1919, o topônimo foi alterado para a denominação atual.

Geografia
Cássia localiza-se na região sudoeste do estado de Minas Gerais, fronteiriça com o estado de São Paulo. Faz limite com cidades de Ibiraci, Capetinga, Passos, Delfinópolis, Pratápolis e Itaú de Minas.

Na hidrografia, destaca-se a bacia do Rio Grande que banha a Usina Hidrelétrica Mascarenhas de Moraes e o local de travessia por balsa para a cidade de Delfinópolis.

Administração
 Prefeito: Rêmulo Carvalho Pinto (PP) (Reminho).
 Vice-prefeito: Ricardo Garcia Arantes (PP) (Graia).

Q: What is the usage of Client scope and Arguments Scope in ColdFusion Component? Actually i used UserId with Client scope.
Can i use the Client scope directly in a component file or only using via the arguments scope?
Given the following code Which one is right? or Both are right?
Using Client Scope:
<cfset getUsers = Application.Users.getAllUsers()>

<cffunction name="getAllUsers" returntype="query">
    <cfquery name="read" datasource="myDsn">
        Select *
        from Users
        Where UserID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#Client.UserID#">
    </cfquery>
    <cfreturn read>
</cffunction>

Using Argument Scope:
<cfset getUsers = Application.Users.getAllUsers(UserID = Client.UserID)>

<cffunction name="getAllUsers" returntype="query">
    <cfargument name="UserID" type="any" required= "true">

    <cfquery name="read" datasource="myDsn">
        Select *
        from Users
        Where UserID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#arguments.UserID#">
    </cfquery>

    <cfreturn read>
</cffunction>

Please give me the convenient solution. Thanks in advance.

A: When we talk about components, we talk about OOPs and its concepts. When we talk about OOPs, we also talk about encapsulation. Though your first method will work, it breaks encapsulation. Object methods should be oblivious of outside world. Hence, the 2nd method is the right approach. Sometime there are some challenges, where you are needed to take approach in first method, but that is case by case method and specific situations.

A: @CFML_Developer has given a good answer. To build on that a bit...
OO theory has a sound basis in reality here (like it usually does, that said). Breaking encapsulation and burrowing out into a function's calling context for its "inputs" pretty much locks the function into being used in that one context. Your function requires that client variable to exist, which means it's no bloody good to be used in a situation in which the client variable doesn't exist: it'll just break.
If you write your functions as encapsulated units, then you will "know" that the function will work, provided the code that calls it passes the correct values. It's - rightly - up to the calling code to make sure those values exist.
This works both ways, too: a function should not mess with any information in the calling context: it should only return one value (or poss no value), and it's up to the calling code what's done with that value: the function should not dictate that. Occasionally a function might manipulate data when it's passed-in as a reference (for example most of CFML's array and struct functions), but that should be well documented. And even then: it's the calling code that decides which reference to use when calling the function.

A: Both methods are correct.
You can use the Client scope directly in a component file as well as via the arguments scope.
You can use both methods.
Which one you choose, depends on your requirement.
The second one is preferable.

Artemia salina es una especie de crustáceo branquiópodo del orden de los anostráceos. Es propia de aguas salobres continentales y su distribución es cosmopolita.

Historia natural

Criptobiosis
Los huevos pueden permanecer metabólicamente inactivos durante largos períodos (incluso de 10 años) en condiciones de total ausencia de agua y oxígeno, y a temperaturas por debajo del punto de congelación. Esta característica inusual es llamada criptobiosis o diapausa; una vez el entorno es adecuado, la eclosión puede comenzar transcurridas las primeras ocho horas.

El adulto alcanza un centímetro de largo en promedio, y su vida media es de un año. Este rápido desarrollo, y la habilidad de sus huevos para soportar largos períodos en condiciones desfavorables, la hacen un modelo invaluable en investigaciones biológicas, algunas incluso desarrolladas en el espacio exterior. Un conocido y repetido experimento escolar consiste en estudiar la variación de las condiciones de salinidad del ambiente en el desarrollo de las larvas de Artemia.

Alimentación
Al eclosionar, las larvas nauplio tienen menos de 500 micras (500×10-6 m). Se alimentan de fitoplancton, en especial algas de los géneros Chlamydomonas, Tetraedron y Dunaliella. En laboratorios y acuarios se les suele suministrar harinas de pescado, maíz o soja, y también se suele utilizar la clara de huevo y carne.

Uso en acuarofilia
Las propiedades nutricionales de este crustáceo, particularmente en sus primeros estadios las hacen muy adecuadas para su empleo en acuariofilia como alimento vivo para alevines y peces pequeños. Son ricas en lípidos y ácidos grasos insaturados, aunque según el estudio, pueden contener más o menor contenido de calcio. Sin embargo, no deja de ser un excelente alimento para todo tipo de peces e invertebrados, promoviendo su pigmentación y un buen estado de salud.

En general, la artemia que se usa en acuicultura o acuariofilia, es Artemia franciscana, la cual se vende en forma de quistes que necesitan ser eclosionados, o bien como alimento vivo, ya sea en forma de nauplios de Artemia o como individuos adultos de aproximadamente 1 cm de longitud. En algunas tiendas de animales se pueden comprar en estado vivo. En España existen algunos centros o laboratorios que se dedican a su cultivo.

Q: Which kinds of associations do classes have in a system? How to best represent them in UML? This post is actually divided in two questions:
Which kinds of associations classes/interfaces usually have?
I'd say there are at least 3 kinds of dependencies:

*

*Inheritance : I think we all know this one)

*Dependency : with this I mean that if class A depends on class B, I can only instantiate class A if I pass it class B as constructor argument. Is this correct?

*Uses : class A uses class B if there is any kind of reference of class B in the code of class A that is neither inheritance of dependency.

Are these the only kind of associations between classes? Are my interpretations of what they mean correct?
Which kind of dependencies are of our interest to show on UML diagrams (mostly class/package diagrams)?
Up until now, I've mostly only put in class diagrams arrows depicting dependencies associations. But now that I think of it, most of the time I look at class diagrams, I'll find something along the lines of

where only Inherits and Uses associations are shown. But those Uses in the class diagram aren't really the same kind of Uses I've defined above. They are just a way of telling you there's a getter on a class of a type that's not a primitive.
I guess that if I had to look to some system's documentation I'd like to know how different classes in the system depend on each other. I'd definetely like to have some sort of Dependency Graph to look at.
Would it better to restrict class diagrams to Inherits/Uses associations and then have other diagram/graph that shows Depends/Uses associations?
How do you prefer it, and why?
Thanks

A: First, you should stop talking about inheritance, depends and uses relationships as "associations".  The word "Association" has a particular meaning in UML; see below.
Of the three relationships you mentioned, it is conventional to only show the inheritance (technically Generalization) relationships in a class diagram.  They are represented using solid lines with open triangle arrowheads.
If you wanted to show depends / uses relationships between classes, you should use the UML Dependency notation; i.e. a dashed line with a "vee" arrowhead.
The other kind of relationship that is commonly depicted in an class diagram is an Association; i.e. information-carrying relationships between instances of classes, that are typically represented using (for example) pointers, or database foreign keys / indexes.
I guess it is a matter of personal preference, but I wouldn't want to see depends/uses relationships on an object diagram.  It is difficult enough to layout the Generalization and Association lines.  Other lines are simply going to make the diagram too "busy".
The UML User Guide says:

"Remember that it is both undesirable and unnecessary to model all relationships among a set of abstractions in a single diagram or view.  Rather, build up your system's relationships by considering different views on the system.  Highlight interesting sets of relationships in individual diagrams."

Magickal Conundra
I never cease to be amazed at how many people will bull-headedly argue that their interpretation of some aspect of magick is "right", quoting from Abramelin, Agrippa, and Robert Fludd as if that made them correct. I'm leaning towards the belief that there's pretty much no factoid about ceremonial magick that should ever be debated in terms of "Right" and "Wrong".
Raphael's location on the Tree of Life is a perfect example.
I got really interested in where Raphael belonged by way of the LBRP. I was reading through a Thelema-based book, and saw that Crowley had once stated that the LBRP puts the mage at the crossroads of Samekh and Pe on the Tree. I thought, great! So I looked at the Tree to see just where exactly that was, since I haven't memorized the paths at all.
Samekh lies between Yesod and Tiphareth, and Pe lies between Netzach and Hod. To understand it better, I wanted to see which Archangels were in the sephiroth. Raphael was attributed to Tiphareth, so you're facing Tiphareth when you do the LBRP. Gabriel is in Yesod, so Yesod lies behind you. No problem. Michael is in Hod, and he's in the south, so that's over on the right. I got a little confused until I figured out you're standing head-inwards into the Kircher diagram of the Tree of Life. It was still (sorta) making sense.
Then I get to Netzach. That's all that's left, but there's nothing about Uriel being the Archangel of Netzach. Ok, sez I, Uriel isn't the Archangel of Netzach, it seems to be some guy named Haniel, or Anael in some people's texts. What gives? Why don't we call Haniel instead of Uriel, if Crowley's right?
My first response was that Crowley must be wrong, no biggy. But if the LBRP isn't based on the tree of Life, where does it come from? So I researched it until I found that it comes from the Bedtime Sh'ma, a little prayer that Jewish people said before they went to bed at night. The archangels are the four archangels that surround the Throne of God. That's why it's Uriel, has nothing to do with the Sephiroth at all.
I was a little disappointed to find out that this banishing ritual I'd been using for years, that had worked wonders at clearing out sacred space, foiling clumsy magickal attacks from the people I pissed off in my bi-polar approach to existence, and banishing a myriad of entities was nothing more than "Now I lay me down to sleep" with some pentagrams thrown in.
But I'd stumbled across something ELSE in my efforts. I ended up going over the attributions of angels to sephiroth going from 777, Bill Heidrick's Magical Correspondences, on back to Agrippa's 3 Books of Occult Philosophy and the writings of Robert Fludd, a contemporary of Agrippa. Bill Heidrick pointed out that the attribution of Raphael and Michael flip according to the source, and I figured if I went back far enough, I'd find a definitive answer.
But no one had an authoritative basis for their claim. It was all hearsay. Agrippa recorded in one set of books what was available to ceremonialists of his time, but it was based on hearsay more than practice, and he says at some point, if you find I'm wrong, by all means, go with what you find.
Eventually, I figured I'd just evoke Raphael and ask him. I started with the LBRP, then "drew" his name in Hebrew letters the way you "draw" the pentagrams in the LBRP, and waited for him to show up.
When I told someone how I was doing the ritual, they said I was tainting my results by doing the LBRP first, and I should just do a straight evocation, with no prejudice. For three or four nights I did this, and got really wonderful visions from Raphael explaining where he belongs.
(Hod, by the way. He directs the flow of the energies of Mercury into Malkuth through Yesod.)
So what I learned from all this, besides where Raphael belongs, is that it doesn't matter who said what, or what logical paths people have put together to get to the conclusion that Entity X "IS" in Sephiroth Y. You can't trust anything in print to be the bottom line truth, and anything you find out on your own is subject to being only as much of the truth as you really need to know at the moment.

Welcome to the Head for the Red blog. The title comes from the four stages of the Alchemical Great Work, Black, White, Citrine and Red. In the Red Work, the final stage is reached, and the base elements are transformed into the Philosopher's Stone.
That's my goal, to reach the Red Work, and this blog is going to record my thoughts, ideas, and experiences along the way. I hope to play the Hierophant here, or at least to record the wanderings of one Hermit and his experiences. I figure I'm still at the Black stage, and I've got quite a ways to go before I get to Red, if I ever do, but I have no qualms in striving.

Pulling Weeds at Tierra-Derco International
Tierra-Derco International (TDI) is headquartered in Jasper, Indiana. TDI is an importer, designer and manufacturer of distinctive garden products. TDI has developed a reputation for fast efficient service, quality products and a broad selection of unique garden hard goods. Top products sold are DeWit garden tools, Worth Tools, Peacock Plant Supports, Eurogarden Kids Tools, and more.
Like any manufacturer and distributor, TDI has massive amounts of inventory to keep meticulous records of in addition to an overwhelming need for an intelligent accounting system. As TDI grew and the complexity of their needs began to change, a more comprehensive financial software suite was required. Within a few years, TDI had switched between two different financial systems and were not able to find anything that met their specific needs. Ultimately, in June 2009 TDI discovered a great fit and purchased Microsoft Dynamics GP. Thinking many of their financial software headaches and frustrations were over, they began to breathe easier but what came next was a huge shock to their organization.
"The people who work for iSolutions are honest and dependable…and even better they genuinely care about the success of our company. They make us feel like our problems are the only ones they're concerned about."
—Brian Wilson, Controller
A few months after the initial investment of Dynamics GP, TDI began to realize the 3rd party provider who sold them the solution, had very little working knowledge of the solution. What ensued was a two-year long nightmare. From reports not running accurately to screens not working properly, TDI's business processes were being interrupted and everyone in the organization could feel it. Many personnel were required to do simple yet time-consuming tasks because Dynamics GP had not been set up to automatically do the tasks for them. In order to abbreviate TDI's struggles, the following is a list of challenges TDI's personnel regularly encountered.
Basic functionality of customizable screens did not work. Data was entered in but when reports were run they would be inaccurate.
The SSRS reports were created for TDI but did not function properly. For 18 months there were consistent issues with the ad-ons not working precisely. This problem was never resolved.
When TDI's file system crashed in September 2011, their 3rd party provider asked them to reinstall Dynamics GP themselves. After the crash, FRX reports would not print and the controller's remote terminal stopped working. All the while, the 3rd party provider ignored TDI's urgent requests for help.
But the final issue took the cake. Upon TDI's further inquiries as to why they were not being upgraded to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 per their request, TDI discovered something that no organization wants to hear. Unbeknownst to them, they were 700 days over due in their Dynamics GP licensing fees. TDI's 3rd party provider had assured them that all fees and licenses were up to date. It goes without saying, TDI immediately began looking for another Microsoft Dynamics GP consultant.
TDI began searching for an honest, reliable, and knowledgeable Microsoft Dynamics GP consultant. After calling Microsoft for referrals and interviewing numerous providers, TDI hired iSolutions. When asked why TDI chose iSolutions, Brian Wilson, controller of TDI, answered "We were impressed with Ryan's [of iSolutions] sincerity as well as his knowledgebase and passion for Dynamics GP. Ryan told us that everyone who works for iSolutions rolls out of bed thinking about Microsoft Dynamics GP. They don't dabble in multiple other solutions, Microsoft Dynamics GP is their primary focus and it shows. Furthermore, they not only know the intricacies of the solution, but they have accounting backgrounds as well which is priceless for a controller like myself." Within days of hiring iSolutions, TDI transitioned to standardized screens which instantly boosted usability, simplified processes and enabled them to fully capitalize on the functionality Microsoft Dynamics GP offers. Moreover, iSolutions streamlined TDI's order entry process and customized the Dynamics GP accounts receivable to better fit the organization's needs. After two years, TDI was finally beginning to function at optimum capacity.
TDI is confident that the positive changes iSolutions has created for the company will help them provide even better service to their own customers. TDI plans to continue their working relationship with iSolutions as iSolutions will be writing additional SSRS reports for them. These reports will be focused on specifically fulfilling TDI's operational demands. Furthermore, TDI looks forward to working with iSolutions on upgrades such as Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 in the near future.
TDI trusts iSolutions and their team of experts to deliver superior customer care and expertise. TDI knows a certified Microsoft Partner who they depend on for their Microsoft Dynamics GP needs. Do you?
