Can I Buy A Durable And Reliable Swiss Watch For 5000 Yuan?
When buying a watch, we must first consider the budget. Buying a meter without considering the budget is all nonsense. The top-level watches are indeed exquisite in materials and fine in workmanship, but the price is too high, and it is often hundreds of thousands. Ordinary people can only look at them twice, and then swallow. And most of the top watches are side-loaded, and the 'anti-hit' ability is not very strong. If the watch has deep scratches, you will be distressed for a long time-unless it is a rich second generation like Wang Sicong. Although the new DS PH 200M Swiss watch is generally more expensive, not all watches are expensive. For the majority of the people, it is obviously more practical to buy a sturdy and durable watch with outstanding cost performance. If the budget on hand is only 5,000 yuan, but you want to buy a reliable and durable Swiss watch, is this possible? It turned out that I thought it was impossible, until recently contacted Certina DS PH 200M. The first generation DS PH 200M, as a member of the Swatch Group, the world's largest professional watch group, Certina is a Swiss brand with a long history and pure descent. DS PH 200M is a watch that pays tribute to the brand's historical watch of the same name launched in the 1960s. The overall design has maintained the original taste, but has undergone a new modern interpretation. We know that Certina's famous DS double insurance technology came out in 1959. The subsequent 1960s became a stage for DS watches to accompany explorers to conquer Himalayan and follow scientists into the depths of the sea. In short, there is no shortage of things going up the mountain and down the sea. In these harsh natural environments, the Certina DS watch has withstood the test well. With its precise, reliable, and durable characteristics, it has been unanimously affirmed by everyone. This characteristic is deeply embedded in Certina's blood. The original DS PH 200M introduced in the 1960s had a vicissitudes of maturity. In 1967, Certina created the original DS PH 200M, which can be regarded as the 'old ancestor' of the new DS PH 200M. From the picture we can see that the watch uses a stainless steel case and bracelet, and the overall style is masculine. Due to the baptism of years, this antique watch has long worn out, but it does not have a vicissitudes of mature charm. The new DS PH 200M, born in 2018, draws inspiration from the original DS PH 200M and has a new re-engraving to become a modern watch with a strong retro flavor. The new DS PH 200M is loyal to the original design. In order to be 'loyal to the original', the new DS PH 200M uses double insurance technology from the 1960s, equipped with a single-sided anti-glare plexiglass watch and NEX Scratchguard A separate assembly ring with scratch coating gives the watch a double guarantee. Water-resistant to 200 meters, you can swim and dive properly with it. The watch is 42.8 mm in diameter and is made of stainless steel with a black unidirectional rotating bezel. The hands and hour markers are covered with a white Super-LumiNova luminous coating, which can clearly display the time in the dark and is very practical. Considering the waterproof and durable characteristics, the watch is not back-treated, but in the center of the case back there is a vivid turtle relief with open limbs. Turtle is the brand logo of Certina, which stands for ruggedness. At present, in all Certina watches, we can see the 'turtle' in a state of being able to behave. The turtle logo on the back of the watch, despite the antique appearance of the watch, uses the modern and efficient ETA Powermatic 80.111 automatic movement in the movement. As a professional movement factory under the Swatch Group, ETA is very powerful in the manufacture of movements. Even the launch of the Omega coaxial escapement movement 8500 was indispensable for ETA. In terms of adjusting the speed, this movement abandoned the fast and slow hands and adopted the cardless spring structure commonly used in high-end watches. The vibration frequency of the watch is adjusted to 21,600 times per hour, and the power reserve jumps to 80 hours, which is a long and uncompromising power. And long power is also a major trend in watchmaking. The new DS PH 200M is priced at 5350 Yuan, equipped with a calfskin strap and a Nato woven strap . As a Swiss mechanical diving watch, I have to say that the price is very kind. If you have a budget of 5,000 yuan and want to buy a durable and reliable Swiss watch, you may wish to pay attention to Certina DS PH 200M. DS PH 200M will be officially launched in China in early November, and the initial shipment will not be too large. Friends who like this watch, all you need to do is a little more patience. In addition, you can pay attention to Certina public number certina1888, search for where you can buy the super cost-effective DS PH 200M.

The Most Important Piece Of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore
Emmanuel Gueit's Audemars Piguet [email protected] internationally renowned watch auction house Phillips announced that it will sell an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak offshore at the upcoming October 10 auction in Geneva, Switzerland. This number The Ref.25721 watch for 39 belonged to Emmanuel Gueit before, and he was an Audemars Piguet designer, and the offshore collection was born from his brush. Ref.5402 @ACM, the first watch of the Royal Oak series, mentioned Audemars Piguet, and now 'only' can think of Royal Oak, or think of its brother, Royal Oak offshore. The brand's other series, such as the Millennium, HAUTE JOAILLERIE, and classic, are rarely mentioned in comparison. Royal Oak, a watch designed by Gerald Genta in 1971 and launched in 1972 not only changed the Audemars Piguet brand itself, but also affected the entire Swiss watch industry. Today, the production of Royal Oak series accounts for about 70% of the Audemars Piguet brand, which is very amazing. After Audemars Piguet officially launched the Royal Oak in 1972, Gerald Genta and his design concepts swept the Swiss watch industry. Including Patek Philippe Nautilus, Vacheron Constantin (222), Hublot Big Bang, all were born under his inspiration, and IWC engineers and Rolex Day-Just have been influenced by the design and changed the original round case. The corners are distinct. It is no exaggeration to say that Audemars Piguet Royal Oak has created a new era. The history of modern clocks and even takes the advent of the Royal Oak series as a dividing point, divided into different styles of the Royal Oak before and after. The success of Royal Oak not only earned a reputation, but also made a lot of money. Audemars Piguet bought a 40% stake in Jaeger-LeCoultre for 12 million Swiss francs from the sale of Royal Oak. In 2000, Jaeger-LeCoultre's parent company Richemont used the pre-emptive right to repurchase these 40% of the shares at CHF 280 million. This made Audemars Piguet 'too much love' for the Royal Oak series. But Royal Oak's success is not entirely a good thing! This ratio is nothing for an emerging brand, but Audemars Piguet is an old brand with a history of more than 140 years. Because the Royal Oak was so successful that everyone was ignoring other Audemars Piguet designs. If one day, Royal Oak's design is no longer sought after, it will be a devastating blow to the Audemars Piguet brand. Such a situation is not an imagination. It has happened in history. In the 1980s, Stephen A. Urquhart, the former CEO of Audemars Piguet, found that sales of Royal Oak watches began to decline gradually. So Audemars Piguet wanted to bring a little new life to this distinctive stainless steel watch. The first edition of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore [email protected] 1993. Audemars Piguet officially launched the Royal Oak's sibling 'Royal Oak Offshore.' At that time, Stephen Urquhart found that consumers had started to dislike 'small-caliber watches' and instead gradually switched to larger watches. Can not give up the Royal Oak, a cash cow, Audemars Piguet designers chose to enlarge the Royal Oak shore proportionally. But after zooming in, sharp edges and corners will cut hands, so designers soften and round the corners again. At the same time, the waterproof ring is exposed, and the timing button and crown are increased in water resistance. As a result, the Royal Oak was born offshore. Many cousins jokingly said that offshore is a magnified version of the Royal Oak. This is true. This is true history. Standing today and looking at the past, the success of the Royal Oak Offshore series can be described as 'reasonable', but in fact it is not 'smooth.' The first edition of Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore [email protected] As early as 1989, Royal Oak Offshore was designed by Emmanuel Gueit. But at that time, Audemars Piguet was anxious, afraid that this enlarged version of the 'Royal Oak' would not be sold, so she put it on hold for 3 years, and planned to release it in 1992, the 20th anniversary of the launch of Royal Oak. In 1992, Audemars Piguet retreated, still afraid that he would not be able to sell it, so she put it on hold for another year. In the end, the official launch date of the Royal Oak Offshore Collection was 1993. At the beginning, Royal Oak Offshore wasn't called by this name, but named 'Challenge', because the change of its size was really a huge challenge at the time. However, in view of the fact that its design is derived from the Royal Oak, which was named after a British navy ship, this new watch still has to touch the sea and call it 'Offshore'. The first version of Royal Oak Offshore [email protected] made everyone understand that Audemars Piguet was anxious. The first version of Royal Oak Offshore Royal Oak Offshore was not sold under the name 'Royal Oak Offshore', but was still called ' Royal Oak '. The first 100 off-shore back covers sold are numbered with carved 'Royal Oak'. Like Royal Oak, Royal Oak cannot be sold offshore at first. Even Gerald Genta, the designer of Royal Oak, thinks that this enlarged version of Royal Oak is simply amazing. The market response severely slapped Audemars Piguet. Because even though Audemars Piguet found that consumers had signs of liking large-sized watches, it was just a 'sign'. It wasn't until 1997 that Panerai's 'fat and big' wristwatches once again turned the 'big-size watch' salary into the trend of Ebara, and Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was off shore. Although Emmanuel Gueit and his [email protected] have struggled along the way, they have to admit that the offshore birth not only gave the Royal Oak series a breath, but also created their own world. Among the many Royal Oak offshore series, the most legendary model is the first Ref.25721; in Ref.25721, the most important one is the designer Emmanuel Gueit number 39. I wonder if it will be possible to refresh the price record of the 'most expensive Royal Oak Offshore' watch in history?

Parmigiani Fleurier Creates Lalique Edition 15 Days Clock
The 15-day power reserve clock introduced in 2012 uses five crystal glass panels, which make the beauty of the internal movement and transmission device visible. Today, Parmigiani Fleurier joins hands with French high-end crystal brand Lalique to create a unique limited edition 15-day crystal table clock with a new artistic form, highlighting the delicate shape of the clock and highlighting the amazing artistic beauty of the clock.
For Parmigiani Fleurier, this is a very large product, especially a movement device. For Parmigiani Fleurier watchmakers who are accustomed to using small watch parts, they have to turn their attention to using large parts, so there are many craftsmanship to learn from scratch. For example, when sitting at work, change to standing, abandon the tweezers and change to fingers, change the working magnifying glass to naked eye, and the most important thing is to re-search for the 'moving mode' of each operation. Due to the change in size, the 'tactile memory' that was originally used to make watches no longer works. Therefore, watchmakers must find a new set of 'movement modes' for operating large parts, allowing them to continue to achieve the core technology of perfect precision. . It is a rare and gorgeous adventure for them to unfold a world with a subtle touch with the 'giant'.
The challenge for Lalique in the production of this work is exactly the opposite: the five panels of the clock are much smaller and more refined than the general tolerance range of crystal processing. This delicate piece of art requires ingenious hot and cold transformations in order to create pure crystals without air bubbles, and Lalique is more than capable of exquisite art. The thin crystals needed to make a 15-day clock panel are not easy for the expert.
Limited edition Parmigiani Fleurier 15-day clock
The crystal is decorated with Lalique's characteristic mark: Coutard spring pattern. In 1935, René Lalique created this mark, shaped like a gushing water drop, the circular arrangement followed the form of 'Art Nouveau', and the round water drop represented 'Art Deco'. The tip of each drop is glitteringly polished, matching the satin surface of the crystal glass.
As a powerful symbol of life and reincarnation, the Coutard Spring represents a clock that is not old-let people not forget that there is never a shortage of opportunities for revival of classics. This watch is beautiful in appearance, the finishing touch is in its movement device-cleverly crafted Maltese cross power reserve indicator tightening device installed outside the clock, a patented invention.
The Malta cross restrictor is the basic component of the power reserve of all timepieces. It winds the barrel and counts the number of rotations, but it has not yet been used directly to display the power reserve status. Previously, several mechanical devices and adjusting wheels were used as intermediate tools. This method of equipping the barrel with the Maltese cross restraining device to show the movement of the barrel itself has allowed Parmigiani Fleurier watchmakers to find a simple and easy way to solve the previous dilemma. From the point of view, it can be called elegant and intuitive.
The power reserve scale and display window are repeatedly displayed at a 90 ° interval on the barrel by a four-arm indicator; no matter whether the barrel is full of strings or not, four successively arranged indicator windows ensure that the information is always visible.

Speed racing Temple Rolex Daytona Series
The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch, introduced in 1963, I believe that watch fans are no stranger, and it is one of the most sought-after signature watches. However, before this, Rolex did not launch a chronograph. However, the Cosmograph chronograph, which is crowned by Daytona, can be exclusively favored and dominate the watch industry for half a century. Some people say that a man's toy is either a car or a watch. The almost lost control of speed makes people happy. Hearing a car is often refreshing. Daytona.
From 1903 to 1935, Daytona, Florida, USA, more than 80 official racing records were born here, of which 14 were the fastest records in the world
Daytona, Florida, USA, is known for its natural hard beaches and was once a world speed record holder. Sir Campbell believes that Daytona Beach is not only because of its cement-like hard texture, but also because it has enough distance to accelerate, so he thinks it is the only place that can set a world record. From 1903 to 1935, more than 80 official racing records were created, of which 14 were the fastest in the world. Later, although the challenge venue was moved to Utah, half of the beach on Daytona Beach is half of the coast and became the only sand track in the world. The thrilling racing process is deeply tied to the hearts of fans. More importantly, in 1959, NASCAR created a permanent hard-surfaced track in view of the urban development and the deterioration of sand quality. The specially designed curve has a 31 degree inclination and a highest point of 10 Meters, allowing the car to travel at very high speeds without departing from the track, increasing the visibility and safety of the race, and building a road racing track in the inner court of the large track, increasing the diversity of the event and attracting more outstanding players Participate. The 2.5-mile (4 km) three-ellipse track allows viewers to find no dead spots no matter where they are in the stands, and enjoy the first-class events held on the fastest track in the United States.
In 1959, NASCAR built a permanent hard-faced track in Daytona, with a design field with a 31-degree inclination and a peak of 10 meters, which was the fastest track in the United States at that time.
The first race, the Daytona Continental, was officially held in 1962, due to the birth of the track by NASCAR chairman and founder William Williams. Sir Francis is a Rolex enthusiast. He even appeared in advertisements in the 60s of the brand, and promoted the cooperation between the brand and the event, making Rolex the designated timepiece for the Daytona Continental Race. He was awarded a Rolex watch, and in the following year, Rolex also officially released the Cosmograph watch Ref. 6239, which is specially designed for racing athletes, making it a logical winner.
In 1992, Rolex officially sponsored the Daytona 24-Hour Endurance Race, making the nicknamed The Rolex the highlight of each year's international race.
Daytona Series Evolution
Ref. 6239 is the first time that Rolex has moved the speedometer on the dial to the outer bezel. Not only that, the contrast color system of the dial and the chronograph makes it easier to read the time. At the beginning, there were only Cosmograph models for the US market, and the words 'DAYTONA' were placed on the faceplate, but the enthusiastic market response led Rolex to gradually put this word on the faceplate. Two years after its launch, the Cosmograph watch was modified to replace the original push-button handle with a screw-in chronograph push button, especially when the series models were equipped with the oyster case with excellent water resistance. The screw-in push button can enhance the waterproofness of the Cosmograph watch, and mark the Oyster Oyster case in front of the Cosmograph on the surface, and add a new black tachometer ring with a contrasting white scale to make the watch visually readable Go one step further.
First Cosmograph Daytona in 1963
Ref. 6239 is a model launched by Rolex in 1963. It is equipped with a Valjoux 72B hand-wound movement. The speedometer is moved to the bezel. The contrasting colors are all designed by racers. The 'DAYTONA' model was sold at the time. The United States is not standard.
1965 reinforced waterproof specifications
Cosmograph models were introduced with an Oyster case at the beginning. In 1965, Rolex further adjusted the chronograph push button, from a push type to a screw-in type. .
Paul Newman Ref.6241
The most famous Daytona model is called Paul Newman Ref.6241, which is derived from Hollywood star Paul. Newman is famous in the film for wearing not only his superb acting skills, but also his passion for motor sports outside the play, like Paul in 1995. Newman and his team won the 24-hour endurance race at Rolex Dayton, arguably the most competent spokesperson for Daytona and motorsport. Ref.6241 is its love table both inside and outside the play. The contrasting color of the face plate, chronograph dial and scale, plus the unique square chronograph logo, makes the Exotic Dial nicknamed Paul Newman watch high.
Cosmograph's durable and precise performance has made racing drivers love it, but Hollywood star Paul. The blessing of Newman Paul Newman should be the reason for Cosmograph Daytona's fame, because he wore Daytona in the 1969 racing movie 'Winning'. Although some people still have doubts, it is undeniable that the car is out of the car A tough guy like Paul. It is an indisputable fact that Newman wears Daytona with him, and the Exotic faceplate on behalf of him also keeps the topic of watch models unabated.
Automatic version in 1988
In 1988, Rolex first introduced the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona watch with a 4030 movement, ending the era of Daytona bracelets. At that time, the movement was an El Primero based on ZENITH.
Complete self-control stage in 2000
In 2000, Rolex launched its own 4130 self-winding movement. The escapement, timing mechanism and polishing are all Rolex's high specifications, and it is also the benchmark of the current Daytona series.
In addition to the faceplate modification, Rolex made a major change in 1988, remodeled the movement of the Swiss famous factory ZENITH El Primero, launched the first self-winding version of the Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, although the 4030 movement equipped with El Primero As a basis, but the details are very natural Rolex, and the diameter of the table was enlarged from the original 36mm to 40mm. In 2000, Rolex further introduced the self-made 4130 automatic chronograph movement, and launched a new generation of Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, which has now become the new benchmark of the series.
First Platinum Edition in 2013
For the first time, platinum is used to build the case, and the ice-blue dial and chestnut brown ceramic bezel are also new attempts by Daytona. Since it was the 50th anniversary of Daytona, the watch was also regarded as a commemorative model by the market, and it had a milestone status.
2016 long-lost stainless steel version
Daytona finally launched a stainless steel remodeling after 16 years! In addition to the price is naturally more attractive than the precious metal style, the ceramic bezel configured by the new steel case has kept pace with the evolution of the times.
2017 with rubber strap
The biggest highlight is the Oysterflex strap developed and patented by Rolex. This strap combines the sturdiness of a metal strap with the flexibility of a rubber strap. The Oysterflex strap is characterized by a super-stretch metal sheet inside and an outer layer covered with high-performance black rubber injection molding, so it is not easily affected and durable in various environmental conditions.

The Tide Is Coming! Omega Exit, Longines Exit, Le Méridien Exit, Kunlun Exit, Raymond Weil Exit ………
At the end of July this year, Nick Hayek, president of the Swatch Group, announced that the group will withdraw from Basel World, the world's largest watch exhibition, from 2019 and no longer participate. The reason is that with the development of the Internet and transportation, the watch business has become 'more transparent, faster and more natural,' and no longer requires traditional exhibitions. The predecessor of the Swatch Group is the Swiss watchmakers ASUAG and SSIH. Previously, SSIH and ASUAG each had many well-known Swiss watch brands. The Swatch Group, which was born after the merger of the two, is undoubtedly the giant of the Swiss watch industry. Its brands include: Breguet, Harry Winston, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Jacques, Léon Hatot, Omega, Longines, Radar, Union Glashütte, Tissot, Balmain, Certina, Mido, Hamilton, CK, Swatch, Flik Flak ….. This time, Nick Hayek, President of the Swatch Group, announced that the Group will not participate in the Basel World watch exhibition since 2019, which also means that its brands will also withdraw. At the same time, the 18 watch brands under its watch can save 340 million yuan in annual expenses by not participating in the watch exhibition ….. After the Swatch Group announced the launch announcement, the organizers behind the Basel watch exhibition also issued a statement and announced that they would begin to adjust , Rectify themselves based on the opinions of various watch brands, and want to try to recover. However, the 'exit' wave triggered by the Swatch Group has begun to intensify ….. On September 26th, the watch brand Raymond Weil announced that it would leave Basel. The company had previously exhibited more than 40 at Basel. year. Its participation costs one million Swiss francs, or about RMB 6.9 million. Regarding the reasons for the exit, brand CEO Elie Bernheim said that the evolution of the market and consumer behavior clearly shows that exhibitions such as Basel no longer meet the brand's needs. On October 10, watch brand Corum Kunlun announced that the brand will not participate in the 2019 Basel watch exhibition. They have been participating for 62 years before, and Corum CEO Jérôme Biard explained the reasons more politely: 1. They are not selling well now. 2. The previous sales methods can't solve the problem, they need to adjust, and the meaningless exhibition is one of the objects being adjusted. 3. Limited budget and no money. Today, after 30 years at the Baselworld, Maurice-Lacroix has announced that it will withdraw from the 2019 show. It's really impossible to stop it ………

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux Are Adorable; Do Facial Masks Together
Stephanie Saltzman
Life is pretty good for Jennifer Aniston, who, along with her fiancé, actor-director-writer Justin Theroux, just completed renovations on their home in Los Angeles. (That's them above, at the Governors Awards in Hollywood on November 8.) She's not the type to flaunt her happiness by posting lovey-dovey pics on Instagram, but that doesn't mean that they're not lovey-dovey. During her interview with writer Brooke Hauser for the January 2015 issue of Allure, which took place at Aniston's house, when Theroux came home, she brightened. He hung out for a few minutes, just long enough to answer an impromptu question. Hauser mentioned that she'd read that they do facial masks together on Sunday nights. True?
__Aniston:__Yes, we do. We switch around. We do Cellcosmet.
__Theroux:__It's adorable.
Aniston: It's adorable. But he's honestly so comfortable in his masculinity. As opposed to some guys, who would never—
__Theroux:__Ride that line.
__Aniston:__You do. You ride the line, babe.
Theroux: "Babe, we gotta do our masks." I never do that.
Aniston: [Smiling] No, you don't.
As for her engagement, the impending nuptials feel impending enough that the couple's close friends have taken to showing up at their house in formalwear. "It's adorable. If we throw a little pizza party, we have this couple...every time, they would come over in black tie, or at least a proper suit; she was in a gorgeous dress. It happened at a Fourth of July party. We're all in jean shorts, and they came in going, Is it happening?!'" Aniston squeals and laughs. "There was a time when people thought we were going to throw a party and surprise everybody."
No, she's not about to reveal her wedding plans. But, she says, "we do talk about it all the time."

Without going into great technical detail (which on this topic I couldn't do anyway), it seems after much reading that it is a recommended practice to spread you SQL Server TempDB across multiple files based on how many cores (or perhaps threads) your processor has.
To keep things simple, let's say I have a 4 core CPU and no hyper-threading (I am not sure if the rule applies to physical cores or to threads), this means I want to split my TempDB up into four different files. However there is one caveat, you should only do this if you actually have four separate physical drives. Not separate files on one drive, not even separate files on separate partitions… this is only beneficial if you actually have separate physical drives based on what I read.
Quick Note: The command blocks below are to give you a reference point for syntax only, do not just copy and paste them, they need to be modified for your server/environment.
That moves the tempdb file to the location specified in "filename" – you will need to restart SQL services for this to take affect.
SQL server will now have the original tempDB file plus 3 additional files at 256 Mb each. The size of the new files should match the size of the original… i.e. all four files should be the same size.
I am not a Database admin by any stretch of the imagination so if something above is drastically incorrect feel free to correct me in the comments.

Ev Lyons Honored at Annual Membership Reception
More than eighty administrators traveled to Cheshire on May 9th for CAS' 67th annual membership reception. The atmosphere was lively and convivial, thanks to a large cadre of retired members who came back for a visit. While the event was largely a social one, there was a short program which included remarks from the CAS president and executive director as well as a brief awards ceremony to honor individuals for their outstanding service to CAS-CIAC.
In her President's Report, Donna Hayward, principal of Haddam-Killingworth High School, detailed the rich array of benefits and services that CAS offers its members. "In my mind, the things that CAS does best are: educate; advise; celebrate; advocate; and connect," said Donna. She went on to expound on each of these assets, weaving in the particular initiatives and accomplishments that came to pass in 2018-19. Among them were a new blended coaching model, the endorsement of an opioid abuse prevention curriculum, and an open dialogue on the transgender athlete eligibility issue. "Thank you to the CAS staff and membership whose ongoing dedication and energy make all of these things happen," said Donna. To end on a high note, following her report, Donna led the audience in a light-hearted and laugh-inducing game of Pictionary for Educators!
In his Executive Director's Report, Glenn Lungarini offered some reflections on his first year of leadership, praising the work of his predecessors, Mike Savage and Karissa Niehoff, and pledging to build upon their successes while looking to the future needs of the association. He emphasized the power and importance of relationships – with the state department of education, with other educational organizations and agencies, with legislators, and, most of all, with our member school principals and assistant principals. "As the profession of education continues to change, rattled by financial struggles, legislative mandates, social-emotional needs, school security concerns, and the impact of an ever-evolving digital society, we must never lose sight of the fact that we are in a service industry; and, the relationships we develop through our interactions with people, of all ages, will ultimately determine our success," stated Glenn.
Glenn concluded his report by paying tribute to Ev Lyons who is retiring from his position as director of the Center for Leadership and Innovation this month. "Ev, I would not be where I am today without your leadership, and more importantly, your friendship," said Glenn. "There was much I had to learn in year one, and still much more I must learn in the years to come. I am grateful to have had this year with you. I commit to you, Ev, that I will continue to lead CAS-CIAC with the passion and commitment that you have modeled. I thank you for making me a better leader and person through your counsel and fine example." Click here to see a short video chronicling Ev's long and rich history of service to CAS-CIAC.
Following Glenn's remarks, President Hayward presented distinguished service plaques to outgoing board members. These individuals have either reached the end of their term or are leaving prematurely due to retirement or promotion. This year, nine members were awarded plaques for their service (not all were in attendance):
• Sally Biggs, Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy
• Lisa Eells, Wintonbury Early Childhood Magnet School, Bloomfield
• Dan Levy, Hamden Middle School
• Anthony Menard, East Hartford Middle School
• Rosie O'Brien Vojtek, Ivy Drive School, Bristol
• David Pearson, Ellington Middle School
• Deane Renda, Whisconier Middle School, Brookfield
• Bill Silva, Farmington High School
• Stafford Thomas, Hillcrest Middle School, Trumbull
President Hayward also welcomed members who, in the coming school year, will be new to an elected board position. Joining the CAS Board of Directors are Missy Bavaro-Grande from East Granby Middle School, Kenneth Craig from Hall Memorial School in Willington and Stafford Thomas from Hillcrest Middle School. The CIAC Board of Control and the Eligibility Review Board will have a large influx of new members including Kristen Della Volpe from Litchfield High School; Christopher Cipriano from Notre Dame Catholic HS; Joe Corso from Lyman Hall HS; Jim Wygonik from Lyme-Old Lyme HS; Nadine Gannon from Hamden HS; Kim Longobucco from Newtown HS; Max Berkowitz from Foran HS; and José Colon from Sport and Medical Sciences Academy. The Elementary School Board of Control has three new additions: Alicia Farris from Pleasant Valley School; Troy Hopkins from Ashford School; and Linda Provost from Hebron Avenue School. Newly appointed to the Middle School Board of Control are Ken Seltzer from Fairfield Woods Middle School and Michael Bernardi from Rochambeau Middle School. Assuming a spot on the High School Board is Carl Johnson from Plainville High School. The Center for Leadership and Innovation Advisory Board will have five new faces: Glastonbury High School's Nancy Bean, Thomlinson Middle School's Anthony Formato, New Fairfield Middle School's Christine Baldelli, Oswegatchie Elementary School's Joe Macrino and Krista Bauchman from Old Saybrook Middle School. Finally, the CT Student Activities Board of Control is happy to welcome Kristin Bernier from Thomaston Center School and Debra Ponte from Hopeville Elementary.
The reception concluded with an awards ceremony honoring members who have made extraordinary contributions to the association. This year, three deserving individuals were selected to receive a CAS Letter of Commendation. Congratulations to Michael Litke, principal of Naubuc School in Glastonbury; Al Sackey, principal of Nathan Hale Middle School in Norwalk; and, Bill Silva, principal of Farmington High School!

A little something about Chaka Khan
This web site has been and will most likely continue to be guilty of many things - factual errors, bad grammar, miserable spelling, a bias toward the music that I like, etc. I have also been guilty of showcasing primarily white musical acts, when the 1980s were hardly a decade dominated by white musicians. The early 1980s were the era when Michael Jackson ruled the charts, hip hop began to work it's way out of New York and around the world, and when the line between soul and pop was forever blurred. Born Yvette Marie Stevens in Illinois, Chaka Khan made her way up through the ranks of R&B acts in the 1970s, the most notable of which was funk band Rufus. In 1978 she began recording solo material, and landed a few singles on the R&B charts of the next six years. In 1984 she recorded a song written for her by Prince, who himself was having a bit of success on both pop and R&B charts. As if that weren't enough star power, Melle Mel and Stevie Wonder were both brought in to back her up. The track, "I Feel For You," gave her a number 1 hit in the UK, and she narrowly missed the top spot in the States.
I Feel For You
Chaka, Chaka, Chaka, Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan, let me rock you
Let me rock you, Chaka Khan
Let me rock you, that's all I wanna do
Let me rock you, let me feel for you
Chaka Khan let me tell you what I wanna do
Do you feel for me, the way I feel for you
I wanna love you, wanna hug you, wanna squeeze you too
Let me take you in my arms
Let me fill you with my charms, Chaka
'Cause you know that I'm the one to keep you warm
Chaka, I'll make you more than just a physical dream
I wanna rock you, Chaka
Baby, cause you make me wanna scream
Let me rock you, rock you
Baby, baby, when I look at you
I get a warm feeling inside
There's something about the things you do
That keeps me satisfied
I wouldn't lie to you, baby
It's mainly a physical thing
This feeling that i got for you, baby
Makes me wanna sing
I think I love you
Feel for you
Baby, baby, when I lay with you
There's no place I'd rather be
I can't believe, can't believe it's true
The things that you do to me
I'm physically attracted to you
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
Yes sir, one more time
Say yeah
I feel for you (I think I love you)
I feel for you (I, I, I think I love you)
Chaka Khan won't you tell me what you wanna do
I feel for you (Oooh, feel for you)
I feel it too (Oooh, feel for you)

Q: Platform independent protobuf socket protocol - what message will I receive? I am preparing to write a platform independent socket protocol. After some initial research protobuf seems the way to go. I am new to protobuf and I can't seem to figure out one specific issue.
My requirements are:

*

*Completely platform independent client;

*C# server;

*Async message communication;

*Work from a .proto file (so no inference from existing classes);

*Must be able to send messages without the server/client knowing up front which message type to expect.
I have already found the (De)SerializeWithLengthPrefix methods, and they are a start. What I can't figure out is how to receive a message if I do not know the type up front.
I have already seen that protobuf-net supports inheritance and can detect the type of the message, so for protobuf-net, inheriting all messages from a common base type would work. However, this is not platform independent and I am looking for a platform independent way of doing this.
So my question is: how do I send my messages so that any client can deserialize them without knowing the type up front?

A: If the requirement is to work with multiple messages of different types:
Just associate a unique number with each different type of message, and use as a prefix to the message; you can do this trivially with the optional integer parameter to the overloaded SerializeWithLengthPrefix method. The client would have to pre-process this prefix (or it can be handled within protobuf-net by Serializer.NonGeneric, which has a deserialization method that provides a callback for obtaining the type from this prefix number).

If the requirement is to work with completely unknown data:
Given you requirements, I suspect Jon's port would be a better fit; since your emphasis is on platform independence and .proto, and not on inference (where protobuf-net excels) or other .NET specific extensions / utilities.
Note that while a .proto can be compiled (via protoc) to a regular protobuf stream, working with entirely foreign data at the receiver is... irregular. It can probably be done by treating everything as extensions or by working with the coded streams, but...

Edit following discussion in comments:
A simple schema here could be simply:
message BaseMessage {
    optional SomeMessage someMessage = 1;
    optional SomeOtherMessage someOtherMessage = 2;
    optional SomeThirdMessage someThirdMessage = 3;
}
message SomeMessage {...}
message SomeOtherMessage {...}
message SomeThirdMessage {...}

(you could optionally add a discriminator, if that helps)
This is actually essentially how protobuf-net treats inheritance, but is easily represented from other clients, and handles everything like lengths of sub-messages automatically.

This holiday my mom also made japchae which is another traditional New Year's dish. It is sweet potato noodles mixed with beef and veggies like spinach, carrots and onions.
Pajeon which means "onion pancake" is usually a New Year's Day dish but we had it on New Year's Eve. We offered some to Jackson but he only gave it the side eye.
We also had our usual steamed shrimp in Old Bay seasoning. He completely fell asleep when offered that.
He is such a little cutie! Looks like yummy food to start off the new year!
We had that same airplane outfit for my boy! So cute!


I am not a minister. I have no formal theological training. I don't have a philosophy degree. To be honest, although I study the Bible and think of in often, I don't read it every day. There's a lot I don't know about my own religion, and even more that I don't know about other systems of belief.
What is it then that qualifies me to talk about belief?
I am a person in this earth. A person that many would have me believe was created by something divine. Ostensibly, for some purpose.
If that divine entity did indeed put me here, and if that divine self has an expectation of me, I would certainly hope that he or she or it or godself would make godself known to me without a theology degree or extensive study.
If there is something specific I'm supposed to do, I would hope that the divine would make it plainly known and understood by someone as ordinary in their understanding as me.
A faith that requires years of expensive study and complex reasoning to understand is not a particularly useful one for most of us humans down here, who are largely just scraping to get by, day by day.
Some would say this is where faith comes in. The Christian Apostle Paul describes faith as "the evidence of things unseen." And I do believe that we can "know" things that we cannot directly see or hear or apprehend with our physical senses. But still, I believe that faith still has to be based on greater evidence than simply believing what we've been told by the "authorities" who really understand it.
The Bible also talks about having "childlike" faith. It's been long enough since I was a child that it's hard for me to remember precisely how all my mechanisms of belief worked at the time—those memories have been overlaid with so many retellings and rethinkings that the surface isn't as clear as it once was.
And he can also come up with surprisingly common sense solutions to problems for which I've come up with complicated solutions. We might be building a bookcase from Ikea, and I'm down on the floor leaning over trying to screw something in from the back, and out of equal parts laziness and efficiency, he will lay it down flat. Much simpler.
For those fears for which there is no evidence, which are just fabrications of imagination, I do my best to show him the evidence of my experience. I know from my experience that it's ok to jump in the deep end of the pool, even though it may be scary.
When it comes to religion, it is the same. There are some things that seem so simple. And other things based on what's been told, or on what we fear.
I hope this experience will show me different.


Most every household needs a vacuum cleaner, but which one is the best vacuum cleaner for you? There are so many types; upright, canister, bagged, bagless, stick vacuum, no-loss-of-suction, cordless, corded, wet/dry, leaf, and the list goes on.
Let's take a look at some of the vacuum types.
Why would you buy one over the other? Here are some pros and cons for you to consider.
You could argue that the right upright will have all the features you need and the same for the right canister. All things being equal, it comes down to a matter of preference for pushing a vacuum in front of you or pulling a vacuum from behind.
If you listen to the proponents of bagless vacuums, they will say that a bagless unit saves money on bags, is easier to empty, and makes less mess.
Bagged vacuum lovers will point out that bags don't cost that much money, the vacuum stays cleaner as all the dirt goes in the bag, and the bags are actually easier because you throw them away. They will also point out that bagless vacuums have filters that must be cleaned and sometimes replaced.
If you just like the concept of no bags then go with bagless, but some of the finest vacuums in the world are bagged and plan to stay that way. That says something about bagless to me.
What about stick vacuums? Stick vacuums are designed to allow you to quickly clean up messes without having to drag out your main vacuum. They can usually be stored in a pantry or closet near where you get the most messes, are lightweight, and many are cordless. They are typically not replacements for your main vacuum, so if you decide on a stick vacuum, it will be in addition to your primary vacuum.
Okay, you've decided on a vacuum type. How do you pick the best vacuum cleaner of that type? It is often the case that best selling products are ones that buyers have researched and found to have the right features for the money; are a good value. You can take advantage of their knowledge by choosing or researching popular products. We have done a lot of the research for you and put it into a single list to make it easier for you to choose. Take a look and see if one of these vacuums is the perfect model for you!
What do you think of our best vacuum cleaner list? Which which vacuum are you planning to buy? Please take a moment to leave a comment below.
Thanks for reading! I sincerely hope that this list has given you valuable information that you can use to find the best vacuum cleaner for you!
is there any Cordless vacuum cleaner?


Black Friday works a little better nowadays than it has in the past. It has always been a lot of fun as people wait with anticipation to see what's going to be on sale and for what price and where.
However, before the online world took the driver's seat, Black Friday could often be like mass mayhem in person. There are still plenty of people who hit brick and mortar stores during Black Friday, but let's take a look at how it works in today's world.
Changes in technology and communication have certainly played their part in how Black Friday works these days. Doesn't it seem like these days that the specials and discounts are announced well ahead of time? That's because the Black Friday sales are no longer relegated to just a day. They last for days, both offline and offline. It used to be that the people hitting the stores for Black Friday didn't know what to expect until early that morning.
There are stores that provide extra discounts and additional products on sale when Black Friday actually hits, but you get the idea. These days it is more of a several days long buying extravaganza. This helps, as does the online platform, with alleviating some of the safety concerns and general societal issues surrounding Black Friday in the past. However, it also takes away a little bit of the excitement.
Since people have several days to get involved though, participation of consumers doesn't necessarily wane. This means that companies still get their fill, consumers, too. Or do they? It would be interesting to see the actual statistics regarding Black Friday in say the past ten years. It is going to seem like there is a little less participation in person, but that doesn't mean it translates to the actual numbers.
Do you typically participate in Black Friday? The days of showing up at a store for special early morning hours the day after Thanksgiving are slowing down. It still happens, but many people these days participate in Black Friday a different way. How that happens is both consumer driven and company driven.
What will Black Friday be like in 2017?
I would expect online sales to be larger than in the past as usual, which shows the changing trends. People would rather sleep in, wake up, eat leftovers, spend time with family and shop online vs being run over in the department stores.


Take photos of your body and the progress you're making. You want to have something to not only motivate you but something you can reflect back on to see how you're progressing. You can feel good about the progress you're making after you see the difference a few months down the line, or if you feel it necessary you can change up the way you're trying to get into shape to improve your progress.
Strengthen your legs with isotonic exercise. Many sports such as basketball, football, cycling and running require strong legs. This form of exercise requires you to tense and contract a muscle for a certain amount of time. Weight lifting is a particularly good example of this exercise, as it develops muscle tone and increases joint flexibility.
For guys, don't try to compare yourself to other people in the gym. Most people who work out at the gym work do it regularly. For a beginner it may be misleading to think that you can lift the same amount as many of the regular gym goers. Benching 200 pounds on your first day, simply because you saw another fellow try it, is suicidal.

Nancy Pelosi leads congressional delegation to Armenia
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Saturday that she is leading a congressional delegation to Armenia this weekend, which her office said made her the highest-ranking US official to visit the country since its independence in 1991.
The trip is intended to highlight the United States' "firm commitment to a peaceful, prosperous and democratic Armenia, and a stable and secure Caucasus region," the California Democrat said in a statement Saturday.
Joining Pelosi are Democratic lawmakers she referred to on Twitter as "proud and longtime champions of Armenia": Reps. Frank Pallone of New Jersey and Jackie Speier of California, co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues; and Rep. Anna Eshoo of California, a member of the caucus. Both Speier and Eshoo are of Armenian heritage.
The visit follows deadly clashes earlier this week along the border between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The two former Soviet states have been in a decades-old dispute over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The violence this week led to concerns that the two nations could be on the verge of reigniting their conflict, but a senior Armenian official said late Wednesday that a truce had been agreed with Azerbaijan.
President Joe Biden last year became the first US president to officially recognize the massacre of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire during World War I as a genocide.
Both the US House and Senate, in 2019, approved a resolution that would "commemorate the Armenian Genocide through official recognition and remembrance" of "the killing of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1923."
Turkey has maintained that the killings do not constitute genocide, saying that it was wartime and there were losses on both sides. Turkey also disputes the death toll, putting the figure closer to 300,000.
"It is the moral duty of all to never forget: an obligation that has taken on heightened urgency as atrocities are perpetrated around the globe, including by Russia against Ukraine," Pelosi said in her statement Saturday.
She also added that the congressional delegation will meet with Armenian government leaders in the nation's capital of Yerevan, including Alen Simonyan, speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, as well as members of the security establishment and civil society members, according to Pelosi.
Pelosi and the delegation members are scheduled to hold a news conference Sunday afternoon local time following a bilateral meeting with Simonyan, her office said. Pelosi is also expected to deliver remarks at the Cafesjian Center for the Arts to "reaffirm America's strong support for the people of Armenia and for their security and democracy," according to her office.
Earlier in the week, Pelosi attended a summit of parliamentary speakers of G7 nations in Germany, where she spoke on Friday about the "ongoing and unified response" to Russia's war against Ukraine.
She recently made another high-profile foreign trip, visiting Taiwan in August to show support for the self-ruled island – a move that greatly angered Beijing and added strain to the US-China relationship.
In response to Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, China announced sanctions on the speaker and her immediate family, suspended cooperation with the US on several issues, including climate change talks, and conducted several military drills around the island.
China's ruling Chinese Communist Party views Taiwan as part of the country's territory, despite having never controlled it, and has long vowed to "reunify" the island with the Chinese mainland, by force if necessary.

Sony Xperia 1 review: Powerful, but not sensible

'Fortnite' makes its Android debut this summer
It's one of the few places Epic's battle royale game hasn't conquered.

You knew it was just a matter of time. Just weeks after Fortnite launched on iOS, Epic has confirmed that its battle royale title (and really, cultural phenomenon) is coming to Android sometime in the summer. There's not much more to say at this stage, but it's safe to presume iOS' touch-native interface will carry over. And crucially, it should reflect some lessons learned since the mobile game arrived to ruin people's productivity.
Epic is currently bringing voice chat to mobile, for one thing -- and that includes talking to friends on other platforms. It's also hoping to improve the visual quality and introduce a battery-saving mode that reduces the strain on your device (this could be helpful for older phones, we'd add). The developer also intends to bring stat tracking to mobile players, and is aiming to trim the size of both the game itself and its updates. A recent update introduced a customizable HUD, so there's little doubt that the company is at least somewhat responsive to the mobile crowd.
There's certainly good reason for it. Estimates from Sensor Tower suggest that Fortnite is already raking in millions of dollars per day on iOS alone. A release on Android is bound to send those figures surging, even if it's just because of Android's larger overall user base. That and it's one of the few platforms Fortnite doesn't support. At this rate, the only remaining platform is the Nintendo Switch... and even that omission might not last for much longer.

Applications Now Open To Join 100FC
Get involved in the programme designed to boost and aid female coach development in London.
Applications are now open to all female coaches across the capital to join 100FC, our female coaching programme that aims to assist with support and funding to aid development.
Founded last year, 100FC is a game-changing programme backed by significant investment from the Wembley National Stadium Trust. In line with the FA's national strategy for women's and girls' football, we are leading the drive regionally, with a three-year project to recruit and train 100 new female coaches per year through a funded coaching pathway.
100FC is a programme for females (16+) across London, who will be supported with their first steps in coaching including funding for coaching courses and coaching placements across a range of organisations.
The programme aims to address the dearth of female coaches in the capital and to support the rapidly increasing player participation numbers with a ready, willing and able workforce who have been given the opportunity to flourish in a safe and developmental coaching environment.
Successful applicants will receive ongoing support throughout their first two years on the programme.
For further details and to get involved, please click here
Applications to join 100FC must be received by 10 February 2020.
