CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Aug. 30, 2016 -- Interra Systems, a leading global provider of software products and solutions to the digital media industry, today announced ORION(TM)-OTT, one of the world's first software-based over-the-top (OTT) monitoring solutions for checking live and VOD content integrity and related network performance of adaptive bitrate (ABR) content for multiscreen service delivery. Leveraging industry-proven audio/video quality analysis technologies, ORION-OTT enables OTT streaming platform/equipment and CDN providers to easily monitor online video delivery for quality and compliance, resulting in superior quality of service on every screen.
"With the explosive growth in video services over the internet, monitoring the quality of OTT content for a large consumer base over a variety of end user devices has become a significant challenge. Traditional manual monitoring methods are too time-consuming, expensive, and unreliable, and hardware-based monitoring solutions make it difficult to keep up with the rapid pace of new video formats, protocols, and monitoring enhancements," said Anupama Anantharaman, director, business development and product marketing at Interra Systems. "ORION-OTT's strong feature set and performance offer service providers a monitoring solution that is high density and economical -- two factors that are critical for delivering OTT services."
ORION-OTT monitors ABR content via user-defined automated and manual schedules, checking for inconsistencies pertaining to ABR package compliance, manifest/playlist syntax, download errors, content quality, and more. Industry and government regulation conformance is simplified by the system's support for a wide range of standards, including the U.S. CALM Act. The comprehensive solution can also be used for origin server load testing, enabling service providers to monitor and log HTTP requests and responses for HTTP failures, request/response delays, assess server performance, and other issues.
Through real-time alarms for quick on-the-go decision making, a web-based user interface, and rich analytics, ORION-OTT helps OTT and CDN service providers maintain and even improve service quality on a wide range of devices, including TVs, PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
ORION-OTT is complemented by Interra Systems' BATON(R) automated QC solution. For large volumes of VOD files, encoded at different bit rates, BATON performs comprehensive QC, including ABR-specific checks to ensure that the prepared content meets service provider and end-user quality expectations. Once the content is prepared and made available on the origin server, ORION-OTT can be used to proactively perform HTTP checks and monitor the quality of each stream. With BATON and ORION-OTT deployed throughout the ABR workflow, service providers can offer a glitch-free, high-quality viewing experience for VOD as well as live ABR content.
To see a live demo of ORION-OTT, visit Interra Systems at IBC2016, Sept. 9-13 in Amsterdam at stand 7.B13. For more details and to schedule an appointment for a live demo, please visit: http://interrasystems.com/mailer/IBC-2016/. More information about Interra Systems solutions can be found at www.interrasystems.com.

Q: Change field in row if other row has same value in different field I'm looking for a Python-based solution to a common task I often run into. (I know, there must be cool SQL-magic for this, but... not now.)
Given a table, we want to change the field f2 if oid is the same.
(Assumed that f2 always contains bar or is empty if oid is 42):

id
f1
f2
oid

1
foo
bar
42

2
foo

49

3
baz

42

Becomes:

id
f1
f2
oid

1
foo
bar
42

2
foo

49

3
baz
bar
42

I'm currently using itertools.combinations to avoid repeated comparison, which seems more efficient than a double for-loop. But for very large datasets, it still becomes unhandy... considering the Big-O-Notation.
Can the problem be solved more elegantly via pandas or numpy?

A:
Assumed that f2 always contains bar or is empty if oid is 42

Maybe we could use groupby + transform first as well:
df['f2'] = df.replace('', np.nan).groupby('oid')['f2'].transform('first').fillna('')

Output:
   id   f1   f2  oid
0   1  foo  bar   42
1   2  foo        49
2   3  baz  bar   42

A: The only solution I can think of would be to use groupby + ffill:
df['f2'] = df.replace('', np.nan).groupby('oid')['f2'].ffill()

Output:
>>> df
   id   f1   f2  oid
0   1  foo  bar   42
1   2  foo  NaN   49
2   3  baz  bar   42

The Avengers and Doctor Strange Assemble in New 'Infinity War' Set Photos
ScreenCrush Staff
When we talked to Kevin Feige about Spider-Man: Homecoming and the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe last weekend, he spoke about Avengers: Infinity War like the film is going to almost literally break the MCU. It will "completely redefine everything for [Spider-Man]," Feige told us; and we suspect the same could be said all of the 8,000 Marvel characters who are going to show up in Avengers: Infinity War and survive long enough to appear in future Marvel movies after it. This thing is gonna be big. Gabby Hayes big!
We can only imagine the kinds of superhero crossovers we are going to get in this film. Stars have pegged the number of characters who appear in a single scene as somewhere in the neighborhood of 30; with something like double that appearing in the overall movie. (And that's just in Infinity War; to top that in the untitled fourth Avengers movie, they might have bump that number up again.) A batch of set photos that emerged today reveal just one of the myriad Avenger combinations we could see, with Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange and his faithful sidekick Wong (Benedict Wong) partnering with Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man and Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner to face down an unseen evil:
This follows on the heels of this same group of "science bros" taking a lunchtime selfie. Who knows what marvels are in store in the 11 months until Infinity War bows? Chris Pratt and Chris Evans enjoying some milkshakes on some downtime from blasting Skrulls? Tom Holland and Scarlett Johansson playing some Parcheesi? The possibilities are infinite. Avengers: Infinity War opens in theaters on May 4, 2018.

Taylor Swift's New "Midnights" Album Breaks the Record
Alexis Gavin, Student Life Editor|December 7, 2022
Alexis Gavin
'The Great War' of Taylor Swift Tickets
After releasing her new album "Midnights" in October, Taylor Swift became the first artist to dominate the top 10 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. No other artist in the music industry has accomplished this before, not even the Beatles.
Taking fans through the story of her depression, disordered eating, and intrusive thoughts, Swift's number one song from her record-busting album is "Anti-hero," a song all about her and her insecurities.
The rest of the songs on Swift's 10th studio album talk about breakup, love, and even revenge, but "Anti-hero" is about Swift's personal story and the struggles she deals with.
"Labyrinth" is my personal favorite. On this track, Swift talks about her challenging journey of finding love, and in the end, finding hope because of a new relationship. Her lyrics, "I thought the plane was going down,/how'd you turn it around?" explain that Swift found a new relationship that changed her perspective on love.
"Lavender Haze"–number two on the top 10–is a song about being in a cloud of love you never want to leave. Trying to ignore rumors so they don't ruin real relationships, Swift explains, is especially hard with social media.
The 13-track "Midnights" is the most popular album the 32-year-old artist has released since her "1989" album and the diamond single "Shake It Off" in 2014.
Swift, who has been producing music since 2006, has changed from country to pop since her debut album "Taylor Swift" and has been on an incredible journey. She is a songwriter whose music touches the hearts of all her fans. Her life has been filled with heartbreak and conflict. Her songs tell the story of her life and its ups and downs, different relationships she's had, and her breakups.
Swift's talent is incredible. She is able to make up a story by putting clues in her lyrics for people to figure out.
"All Too Well," on her album "Red," explains her relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal. Swift directed a short film on the song, starring Sadie Sink and Dylan Obrien.
"Folklore" is one of her most beautiful albums. Swift's fans can relate to many of this album's songs. "Cardigan," my favorite song from "Folklore," is about a love triangle from Betty's perspective. "August" (track #3) is told from the perspective of Betty's best friend, who has a summer fling with her boyfriend, and "Betty" (track #14) is written from James's perspective, the boyfriend.
All her songs have meaning, making each one special and unique.

My latest post explores the role of style as part of lifestyle on a childhood level. For most of us, clothing was introduced to us by our parents/guardians in our childhood as a statement in events, family gatherings, or typically on church day. Thus it makes us, as we grow into our adolescent and adulthood instinctively conscious about garment. The girl child on this has an edge since for her fashion/style is imposed on her by society and long standing history about girl adornment. But for a man style requires alternative thinking.

Made by hand in our Cornish workshop using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Formulated with natural essential oils, the scent of our Rose Swirl Soap is inspired by the heady, musky sweetness of dew-soaked summer roses. As with all our soaps, it has a rich creamy lather and skin-loving ingredients. Definitely one for the girls, prettily swirled with rosy pink, pale pink and ivory.

The MakePeriodic command removes kinks from a curve or surface.
A periodic curve is a smooth closed curve. Periodic curves stay smooth when you edit them.
Periodic surfaces are closed surfaces (such as a cylindrical surface) that can be deformed without developing kinks. Periodic surfaces are automatically created when the input curves are periodic.
Periodic surfaces and curves deform smoothly without kinks.
If a joined curve is made periodic, it becomes a single-span curve and can no longer explode.
Use the Object Properties, Details to check whether or not a curve is closed and periodic.
The Smooth option is only available when objects have not been selected.
Smooths any kinks in the curve and moves control points to make a smooth curve.
Control point locations are not changed or changed minimally (only one point may move) and only the knot vector is altered.
Smooth=Yes (left) and Smooth=No (right.
The MakeNonPeriodic command inserts a kink at the start/end of a curve or surface.
A non-periodic curve is a closed curve with a kink at the start/end of the curve. Deforming non-periodic curves near the start of the curve may result in kinks.
A non-periodic surface is a closed surface with a kink at the start/end of the surface. Deforming non-periodic surfaces near the start of the surface may result in kinks. Non-periodic surfaces are automatically created when the input curves are non-periodic.
Non-periodic surfaces and curves deform with sharp corners at kinks.


I act entitled. All. Of. The. Time.
I am so not proud of this fact, but it is true.
For example, I "need" Starbucks daily or I get cranky. I literally plan out my morning on how and when I'm going to get it. Even if it makes me late. Even if it's inconvenient. I also "need" a handful of chocolate chips after lunch and dinner. Only dark chocolate will do. Preferably Ghirardelli 60% cacao. Of course, other chocolate makes a great substitute—brownies, chocolate cake, etc. And if they're not available, I feel a little off kilter, a little growly. Do I sound like a crack addict? Yikes! I also feel completely entitled to buy that funky bracelet and that adorable dress, I mean they're on sale, and did I mention how cute they are?
What do you "need"? That bottle of nail polish? A bottle of wine? To run another lap? Watch just one more episode of Friends? Read another chapter? Check Facebook, Twitter or Instagram real quick? A certain brand of athletic shorts or yoga pants?
I've been semi-aware of this behavior, but not really concerned, because lots of other people like Starbucks and chocolate and shopping, too. Right? But recently, after reading Jen Hatmaker's book, 7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess, I was truly convicted. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with chocolate or Starbucks or great fashion finds, thank goodness. These are all gifts from God to be appreciated and enjoyed. But there is something wrong when I feel I deserve those things—that I need them.
So, to get myself back in line, I went on a strange sort of fast for the month of January. If you've ever made a New Year's Resolution, given up something for Lent, or fasted in any other kind of way, we're kindred spirits. This wasn't about eating less; this was about being less entitled, more appreciative, more aware of how God has already taken care of all my needs. I decided I would take on three areas.
Who has two coffee machines? Only a girl with a coffee problem. Right?
First, I ate only the following foods: whole grains, fruits and vegetables, dairy, poultry, and seafood. Which I really didn't think would be a big deal considering I eat oatmeal almost every morning, followed by lunch of a turkey and cheese sandwich on whole grain bread, and I don't eat red meat. But do you see the glaring omission of chocolate? Still. I thought this would be easy peasy. Until Day Two of the fast when after a Saturday jam-packed with kids' basketball games and birthday parties all over Southwest Ohio, we tumbled back home around 6:00 PM and my husband, Brett, suggested we order pizza. It sounded heavenly. All I wanted to do was put on my jams, eat pizza, and curl up with the kids and watch a movie.
But that whole grain thing reared its head. I Googled our local pizza chain, and lo and behold they had a whole-wheat crust. Who knew? I'd never been so happy to see a whole grain. So I ordered my own little personal whole-wheat pie with spinach and tomatoes. And I was extremely grateful for it. Surprisingly, even when my daughter ate our favorite deep dish in front of me, I wasn't envious. I was just so thankful I had the option to eat pizza.
Second, I gave up Starbucks. Yep. Cold turkey. And me, and my Keurig and my Nespresso (I told you I was entitled) spent a lot of time together in January. I successfully used up a multitude of various brands and flavors of coffee pods I'd stashed in the house without having to purchase a single one. My son, Max, is an amazing barista, and made me some delicious mochas and lattes with the Nespresso. On the two coffee dates I'd scheduled, I suggested the local coffee shop, Kofenya, which is amazing, and savored every drop of the java they brewed me. Note to self, I can get better about buying local. Yes, there were Monday mornings when I missed Starbucks like crazy. But every morning, honestly, I was so grateful for coffee—for it's warmth, and aroma, and flavor, and yeah, the caffeine. And as I sipped my home brew, I thanked Jesus for being the ultimate waker-upper, my perfect source of energy.
Third, I gave up shopping. I only allowed myself to buy food, beverages and household basics (dishwasher soap, toilet paper, shampoo--the boring stuff). We went on our annual family field trip to the mall to exchange ill-fitting Christmas gifts, and I exchanged both my yoga pants and jeans for better sizes. But contrary to tradition, I did not buy a single amazing, spectacular January clearance item. Not the Gap t-shirts for only $4, because I always need another black t-shirt, and another white one. Not that really cute top in the window of Francesca's that was 70% off. Not even the socks at American Eagle, which they were virtually giving away. And although it took great restraint to not take any of those steals to the register, I came home feeling lighter. My closet is already packed. I didn't need any of those items. I actually saved myself from having to root through more clothes to find "the right" items later. It felt oddly good. For the rest of the month I deleted every single email from a retailer wooing me with their "biggest ever" clearance events and steered clear of Target, Dollar Tree and TJ Maxx, because why tempt myself like that? And each time I had the urge to just click on that message, browse that website, pop into that boutique, I tried to remember to thank Jesus for His ultimate coverage, for being more fulfilling than a shopping buzz.
Was I perfect on my fast? No way. You want the dirt? Here's just a sample.
There was the time Brett brought me home a gorgeous single serving carrot cake from Panera. "It's whole grain," he told me.
He was clearly lying. But he also went out of his way to go inside a Panera, order me a treat mid-way through my fast, even one that contained a vegetable, and looked brown, like whole grains tend to. I savored every morsel, appreciating his gesture of love and that miracle of a cake. I enjoyed half of it that day, and saved the other half for the next day, instead of gorging it down in one swallow, or thinking, "gee, I wish this was a brownie." It was so phenomenally delicious. I was learning from this fast—when I don't expect a dessert or feel like I'm entitled to one, I can appreciate the ones I get so much more fully.
A similar thing happened while in Texas. My sweetheart of a host took me out to lunch at an adorable spot called Nostalgia. "The best part of this place," she smiled, "are the desserts. They come with your lunch." I inwardly panicked. I didn't want to break my fast. I'd been so good. But the thing I was learning most from fasting was being grateful for what I had. Being grateful for a store brand dark roast pod in my Keurig, because it was coffee, and I had the pleasure of drinking it. Being grateful for fresh fruits and organic Greek yogurt, because they are delicious and sweet and good for me, and because I always have food on my table and in my stomach. And, so, I made the game time decision to be grateful here too. The Hummingbird Cake contained pineapple and bananas, leaning itself towards the fruit category. Each and every bite of this cake I'd never even heard of before was delicious. And don't get me started on the rich, sweet cream cheese frosting. On this day, I was so grateful (after over 20 days of no desserts, well except the carrot cake) for a dessert. And yes, I ate peach cobbler with my same lovely friend that night, because, well, when in Texas.
There was the time when my mom made stuffed peppers with white rice. Agh! White rice isn't a whole grain. Some of you are thinking I'm totally nuts here, but I am such a rule follower (too much of a rule keeper, too stringent, too much of the time). Add that with entitlement to my list of many flaws. Only brown rice counted on my self-induced fast. But this fast was all about being more appreciative. And not valuing a home-cooked meal from Mom, well that's plain ridiculous. So, I counted every delicious bite, every grain of rice as sheer gift.
There was also the time, when I bought myself a sweatshirt. I wrestled with the idea. I mean, I wasn't supposed to buy myself anything. I hadn't even bought my kiddos anything this month. Not one cute notepad or t-shirt. But this sweatshirt helped fund the amazing event I was speaking at, Project Beautiful, bringing hundreds of girls together to remind them of their true beauty. And it reads, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made across it's soft, cozy self. These words are what I long to share with everyone I meet—that they were created by God to inspire awe, that He created them wonderfully. And so, the decision to purchase was intentional, not entitled, and felt very right.
And it was strange. I was so grateful each time we ordered pizza that I didn't have to make another run to the grocery in the bitter January air, think about "what was for dinner," cook, or clean, that I'd never considered the subpar flavor. All I had to do was hang out with my family and eat pizza. And that tasted pretty good to me.
My fast is officially over. I'm interested to see how it will change me. If I will be less entitled, more grateful, more giving. I pray I will be. I also pray I'll turn to Jesus more--for me to turn to my worldly fixes to fill my voids less. Because Jesus is sweeter than chocolate, more revitalizing than caffeine, and quite frankly, as my friend Holly Starr sings, He's "Everything I Need". Because when I decide that I "need" this and I "need" that, I'm truly not the best version of myself. But when I am grateful for the food I have, the roof over my head, the clothes in my closet, my loving family, well then, I can see my true reflection much more clearly.
How about you? Anything you "need" on a daily basis? Have you ever fasted before? How did it work for you? Let me know in the Comments below.

The Guardian review of the new ( v good) Paul Weller Album makes a mention of Todd.
"Weller is a magpie in terms of where he finds inspiration. Long Time chugs along menacingly like the Stooges' I Wanna Be Your Dog, while Going My Way's simple refrain veers into a Todd Rundgren-meets-the Beach Boys stomp."

Around and around and around
Great Interview in Rolling Stone with Hans-Peter, Emil and Todd
Runddans means "rondel" in Danish, "circular object," and the title of one track is "Rundt Rundt Rundt" – around, around, around. Rundgren: "That's the central theme. The chords keep repeating, and it's hard to tell where the beginning of the sequence is. It's like an aural illusion where the sound sounds like its continually ascending when it's really repeating a cycle of harmonics. It's like you're tuning in a cosmic radio that keeps playing the same song over and over again – but it comes out different every time. It's like Groundhog Day. We refer to it as "the beginning and end of all music."
Meanwhile, Angus Findlayson at Resident Advisor is not totally convinced: "Runddans is an intriguing and sometimes fun experiment, but it's not quite a meeting of great musical minds. A pessimist might say that they've missed one another by a few decades."
Guy Oddy at the Arts Desk is even less impressed saying whilst it's "commendable that Rundgren refuses to let the grass grow under his feet by trying new angles with each new album, it's a shame that Runddans is all head and not enough heart – and feels like the work of a millionaire hippy for whom making music has become a hobby."

Mastercard debuts sonic brand melody on PoS machines in South Asia
Since Mastercard launched its sonic brand identity globally in February 2019, Indian consumers have been exposed to the brand's sonic melody through a number of digital campaigns as well as television advertisements featuring cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni...
In another step towards deepening trust around digital payments in India, Mastercard embedded its sonic brand melody into Android based point-of-sale (PoS) devices.
According to the company, this milestone marks the first time Mastercard has rolled out the sonic melody on PoS devices in South Asia. Now, whenever Mastercard cardholders complete a payment transaction on these PoS machines, they will hear Mastercard's sonic melody and see the double tick mark on the PoS screen. The new audio-visual sensory engagement provides simple, seamless familiarity and an additional assurance to the consumer and merchant that the transaction has been completed safely and securely.
In the first phase of rollout, Mastercard will work with India Transact Services Ltd., an omni-channel merchant digital payment solutions company and wholly-owned subsidiary of AGS Transact Technologies Limited, to enable 2,000 Android based ONGO PoS machines across five cities – Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Pune, with Mastercard's sonic brand identity. In phase two, which will take place over the next six months, India Transact Services will implement Mastercard's sonic tune on 10,000 ONGO PoS machines in more than 15 cities, including tier II & III centers such as Bhubaneswar, Patna, Satara and Coimbatore.
Ravi B. Goyal, chairman and MD, AGS Transact Technologies Limited said, "We consistently aim to simplify the digital payments experience for consumers and merchants through our brand ONGO. Our pan-India presence along with Mastercard's brand trust will be the catalyst for strengthening the digital payments ecosystem in India."

Since Mastercard launched its sonic brand identity globally in February 2019, Indian consumers have been exposed to the brand's sonic melody through a number of digital campaigns as well as television advertisements featuring cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. The tune was also warmly received by consumers and merchants wherever it was played during Mastercard events and workshops around the country, the company added. Following the receptive response, Mastercard is now taking the next step to integrate its sonic melody into Android based PoS machines powered by India Transact Services Ltd.
Manasi Narasimhan, VP, marketing and communication, South Asia, Mastercard said, "Over the years, Mastercard has been working in India to increase consumers' trust in the safety, security and convenience of digital payments. Sound is a powerful way to create an emotionally and culturally relevant connection with consumers. Mastercard's partnership with India Transact Services enables the familiar, distinct and memorable melody to be played each time a Mastercard cardholder completes an Android PoS based transaction. This additional layer of reassurance will increase consumers' trust and confidence in digital payments and goes a long way towards establishing Mastercard debit and credit cards as the preferred safe, secure, and convenient way to pay."
The company added that over the last few years, digital payments in India have grown substantially. In FY19, the country registered 31.34 billion retail digital payments. Further, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has recently increased the target of digital transactions for FY20 to 45 billion, it added.
Mastercard has been collaborating with fintech companies, partner banks and industry bodies to increase awareness and adoption of digital payments. Mastercard's partnerships with various stakeholders have helped to grow the number of PoS locations by over 200% in the last two years to more than six million merchant locations.

Essential Politics: California's school reopening battle offers Newsom no easy options
By John MyersSacramento Bureau Chief
Feb. 8, 2021 6 AM PT
Gov. Gavin Newsom has compared the distribution of COVID-19 vaccine doses to boarding a commercial airliner. Everyone lines up for their section to be called, and while passengers may grumble about the slow process, they eventually get a seat.
But seven weeks into the effort to vaccinate millions of Californians, the choices seem to be getting harder, and here's how the analogy is playing out: The flight was oversold, there's no word when another plane will arrive, and the airline is still tinkering with the list of who's in the boarding groups — while rumors circulate that passengers are boarding the flight at a nearby gate in a different order.
Get our Essential Politics newsletter
The latest news, analysis and insights from our politics teams from Sacramento to D.C.
For one group of passengers — educators — the journey has a unique deadline, as the school year ever so gradually slips away. And the governor, whose job approval ratings have fallen and who faces the very real prospect of a special election this year to remove him from office, is under growing pressure to take action.
But the seeds of this quandary were planted months ago.
Data for the decisions?
"We should've been planning for this back in June," E. Toby Boyd, president of the California Teachers Assn., said in an interview last week with the nonprofit education news organization EdSource.
Most of the attention last summer was on whether state or local officials should be the ones to decide when K-12 students would return for in-person learning during the 2020-21 school year.
The Newsom administration imposed rules that initially kept most schools closed but left the decision to locals for what would happen when conditions improved, leading to neighboring communities with similar public health conditions choosing different paths. And more than 1,700 elementary schools in counties that didn't meet coronavirus thresholds applied for special waivers to reopen, many of them private schools.
So how has it worked out? We don't know.
The state has yet to make good on a promise last month to make public any comprehensive data about COVID-19 transmissions on school campuses that have stayed open through last fall and into the new year. Asked by a reporter last week about the calls for all educators to be vaccinated before more schools open, the governor surprisingly said there were "87 reported cases, positive cases in our schools" in January.
"That's down from where we were in November [and] December, despite January being a record month in terms of community spread and positivity," he said.
But late Friday, state public health officials told The Times that Newsom's number represented only the first two weeks of January and they didn't provide information as to whether these cases were widely spread out or in larger clusters. Nor did they provide any information on Newsom's comment about November and December coronavirus conditions on school campuses.
That means that as negotiations over some kind of a statewide school coronavirus plan reach their peak — with demands by educators to be vaccinated taking center stage — there's no real way to gauge where things stand.
Few easy choices on schools
Several of those who are involved in the discussions see only three options for Newsom, each of which carries considerable risk:
Give educators a guaranteed spot on the state's vaccination priority list that's stronger than the existing rules, even though it might potentially leapfrog over other vulnerable Californians.
Support legislation to require more classroom instruction as local virus conditions permit, with robust COVID-19 testing but without the strict requirement for vaccinations sought by unions representing teachers and school employees.
Split the difference with something akin to the status quo, hoping that vaccine supplies improve and leaving reopening decisions largely to local officials — even though the loose system may result in millions of kids remaining in off-campus learning for the rest of the academic year.
As the week begins, no one is showing signs of backing down.
Education labor unions released a six-page proposal last week that insists "all employees required to report in person have been provided the opportunity to be vaccinated before students return to campus." The unions also restated their opposition to current Newsom administration guidance that school campuses can open once county COVID-19 conditions improve to no more than 25 cases per 100,000 residents. And they want to make reopening plans subject to collective bargaining with their local affiliates.
Groups representing school boards and administrators responded with a letter to Newsom and legislative leaders, insisting the unions' demands will "stall access to in-person instruction for our most vulnerable students."
The governor seemed to agree, sounding a note of frustration in remarks to the Assn. of California School Administrators on Jan. 31.
"If everybody has to be vaccinated we might as well just tell people the truth, there will be no in-person instruction in the state of California," he said.
And he may choose to rely on the viewpoint expressed last week by the new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, who said that teacher vaccinations are "not a prerequisite for safe reopening of schools."
Finding a way to win the support of teachers, administrators and parents will be difficult — especially on a timetable to get kids in classroom seats before April, at which point some say it will probably be too late to make a difference.
The recall effort and the polls
A pair of recent statewide polls suggest the governor is tackling these tough pandemic issues without a deep reservoir of public support. And those problems are what his most vocal critics are counting on in the homestretch of their effort to force a historic special election to remove him from office.
First, the polls. In a survey released last week by UC Berkeley's Institute of Governmental Studies, only 31% of voters surveyed said Newsom is doing a good or excellent job of handling the pandemic — an 18-percentage point drop since September. Even fewer — 22% — gave him high marks for his oversight of COVID-19 vaccine distribution.
A poll by the Public Policy Institute of California found half of likely voters approved of his overall job actions, a question asked differently than Berkeley's survey but with results that seemed largely consistent. Here, too, he received very low marks for his work on vaccine efforts.
The Berkeley poll asked specifically about the effort to recall Newsom from office, finding only 45% of voters willing to say they'd cast a ballot to keep him in office.
The pandemic "is coloring people's views on the recall," said Mark DiCamillo, the poll's director. "They've lost faith in him."
Meanwhile, two Republicans have pledged to run in a recall election if it's held. The groups promoting that effort claim to have collected about 1.4 million signatures. They need close to 1.5 million signatures to trigger an election — though it's important to note that we don't know how many of those they've collected are valid; the next signature report from state elections officials is expected on Feb. 16.

Trump trial No. 2
Almost five weeks after an angry mob stormed the halls of Congress, intent on blocking the election of President Biden, senators are scheduled to convene the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday — bitterly divided over the propriety and legality of the proceedings.
At least one thing seems certain: the second impeachment trial against Trump, focused on a specific chain of events leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection, should be shorter than the one that ended in his acquittal last year.
As David Lauter writes, this week's impeachment trial will shape Trump's legacy but probably not resolve the sharp divide over how to view the former president.
National lightning round
— Biden says Trump's "erratic behavior" should prevent him from receiving classified intelligence briefings.
— The Senate has approved a budget bill that's a key step toward fast-track passage of President Biden's $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief plan.
— Biden checked in on a Northern California woman who was laid off because of the pandemic during a conversation the White House said is part of an effort to help him engage more consistently with regular Americans.
— California's plan to ban gas-powered cars in 15 years could become a model for the U.S. under Biden. But consumers aren't clamoring for electric vehicles.
— Traveling 600 miles through the South to the Biden-Harris inauguration, Times staff writer Tyrone Beason chronicled his search for what the new president has called America's soul.
Today's essential California politics
— The U.S. Supreme Court has lifted California's ban on indoor church services during the pandemic, ruling that Newsom's strict orders appear to violate the Constitution's protection of the free exercise of religion. And some churches across the state reopened their doors on Sunday.
— Republicans once more than held their own at the municipal level in California. No longer.
— George Skelton writes that one negative result of political polarization is closed minds that aren't open to facts and independent thinking. The prime recent example is Republicans buying Trump's lie that the election was "stolen."
— Law enforcement officials are investigating escalating threats of death and violence against Newsom, his family and the wineries, shops and other businesses he's founded.
— After a pair of scathing audits confirmed California's troubled unemployment agency has been plagued by years of mismanagement, state lawmakers are demanding quick fixes to the unemployment benefits system while also announcing their own plans to speed up the payment of jobless benefits and reduce fraud.
— Amy Wakeland, the first lady of Los Angeles, finds herself navigating shifting political fortunes during the homestretch of Mayor Eric Garcetti's time in office.

Q: Preciso selecionar sequencias de números em um campo de uma coluna da tabela Eu tenho uma coluna 'Text' na minha tabela 'process'. Text consiste em um VARCHAR (220), neste texto eu preciso identificar um padrão específico de palavra. Neste caso uma seqüência de números com um "-" para separar:

'1234-567' - São 4 Dígitos seguidos de '-' e logo após 3 Dígitos;

E antes deste número há uma palavra como 'ProNumber: '.
Então eu tentei usar a função Substring e Locate, para rastrear e mostrar o resultado.
SELECT substring(Texto, locate('ProNumber:', Texto) +11,8) como número FROM processo;
Mas infelizmente este número aparece várias vezes no campo da coluna 'Text', e minha consulta apenas mostra o primeiro.
Existe alguma maneira de fazer uma consulta que retorna os vários números que o campo contém?

Editado:
Gostaria que o resultado fosse algo do tipo:
 Process | ProNumber
    0001    | 1234-567
    0001    | 8945-567
    0002    | 1258-567
    0003    | 1454-547
    0004    | 1548-987
    0004    | 1234-567

A: Tente usar esse padrão de regex para capturar o que você precisa.
([\n]|^)(?=ProNumber: (\d*-\d*)*)

Como você não especificou se o numero de dígitos contido na sequencia "123-456" pode variar deixei a regex delimitada somente pela sequencia "ProNumber: " colocando um positivelookahead mas aconselho você a delimitar pelo numero de caracteres antes e depois de "-" se forem valores fixos, evitando capturas indesejadas.

Manité var en bildbyrå och fotografiskt kollektiv som verkade mellan 1962 och 1967 i Oslo. Manité skapades av fotograferna Arild Kristo, Dan Young och Robert A Robinson.

Inspirerad av Magnum, grundat av bland andra Henri Cartier-Bresson och Robert Capa ville Manité uppmärksamma fotografens speciella arbetssituation och otrygghet i en bransch där man oftast jobbade var och en för sig. Bildbyrån Manité betonade bilden av människan i det sociala sammanhanget genom sin fotojournalistik i projekt som Manfred vid muren (Kristo) och Sylvia Becker (Robinson). Verksamheten dokumenterades av Eva Klerck-Gange i boken Manité 1962–1967: Arild Kristo, Robert A. Robinson, Dan Young, publicerad på Spartacus förlag i samarbete med Museet for Samtidskunst i Oslo ().

I have to get a lot of my clothes tailored because of my little height. I took this dress to be taken up a few inches as it was too long and they pretty much took all of the dress away. I love the dress and had never worn it before so refused to accept that it was gone. I chucked a pair of denim cut-offs on and made a top out of it.
Working with Jimmy was so fun and funny. You can probably tell that these images look a bit different from my usual. He really threw me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to try different poses. I felt so silly a lot of the time but it made for good laughs! I'm not usually a fan of heavily edited photos like this but it's good to try something new sometimes, right? What do you guys think- do you like these or my more natural photos.
If you are ever in Phuket and want some photos taken of you, I would definitely recommend Jimmy from Gina Smith Photography- I was in crazy fits of laughter. Such a fun day!

Love a lil bit of this and that (variety is the spice of life), I love this photos looks like an editorial, so Yay *thumbs up*.
Lol I didn't understand the blog title till I read.
I hate when tailors mess up clothes but you rocked this dress a top, I love the pattern. Change is good and I love these photos.
Editing is top-notch and the photos look amazing.
These pictures are stunning, absolutely flattering!!! I've been following your work for 6 months now and I gasped audibly when I saw this post, just marvelous.

Saville praises "solid core" in Millwall team
Read from the midfielder as pre-season training begins...
George Saville gives his thoughts on pre-season training
The midfielder, who found the net 10 times in an impressive season for the Lions last term, spoke to iFollow Millwall about the players returning to Calmont Road as preparation turns towards the 2018/19 Sky Bet Championship campaign.
George Saville believes Millwall will be in "a better position" in 2018/19 in terms of understanding the rest of the division and each other.
The Lions take on Dartford this Saturday in their first pre-season friendly following two weeks of intensive training in the summer heat before embarking on a trip to Portugal ahead of further friendlies against Cambridge and Colchester United.
Saville, who scored 10 goals from central midfield last season - the first to do so since Tim Cahill - enjoyed an extended break after last year's eighth-placed finish, but is already looking ahead to Saturday 4th August and the opening day at home to Middlesbrough.
"Having some time off was lovely, it was nice to take your mind off things," he told millwallfc.co.uk. "I had a little niggle at the end of last season, so I had to get that right for the first couple of weeks of the summer, but after that I had a really nice time.
"I'm looking forward to the first day of the season and being at home. We were away last season so it will be nice to start off this campaign at home. We're very good at The Den so it gives us the opportunity to get off to a good start. The Christmas period is good for us as being at home gives us time for rest and recovery, too."
Part of the gruelling pre-season schedule was the yo-yo - known as the bleep to some - test, which the midfielder was successful in against his team-mates in the searing temperatures at Calmont Road.
The amount of running is part and parcel of being a professional footballer, according to Saville.
"It was tough, but I think it was more mental than anything. We're all fit lads here - we're professional athletes - so a lot of it is mental. For the next six weeks a lot of it is doable - you've just got to get your head round it and overcome it.
"From day one everything is important. The testing we do so the staff know where we are and how they can manage us, then going into the games and the trip to Portugal, which is great for everyone.
"Last year was fanatastic - the team bonding, but a lot of hard work as well. I look forward to them all and hopefully that first fixture comes round quickly."
If the bookies are to be believed, The Lions will need to be on their game from that curtain-raiser in their attempts to beat the drop for a second successive campaign.
The 25-year-old brushed aside any hint of Millwall struggling at the wrong end of the table, stating that the squad is "looking forward to the challenge" of proving everyone wrong once again.
"We were one the favourites to go down last season as well, but I think that's based on the stature of the club and the financial side. The bookies aren't going to tip someone like Stoke or Swansea City to go down, that's just not going to happen.
"I think we'll be in a better position this season than we were last season in terms of understanding everyone. I feel like we've got a solid core now, we've got some real characters at the club and we're looking forward to the challenge.
"We have personal targets as a team and I'll set myself personal targets, too. Hopefully we can do what we did last season and kick on."
George Saville

Voters renew Flushing Schools millages
By ohtadmin | on August 06, 2015
BY RHONDA S. SANDER S
810-452-2665 • rsanders@mihomepaper.com
FLINT TWP. — Voters in the Flushing School District overwhelmingly approved two millage renewals on the August 4 ballot.
Voters were asked to renew for five years an operating millage and a building and site sinking fund.
With all precincts reporting, the final tally was 1,804 to 614 – 74.61 percent in favor of the operating millage renewal and 1,728 to 688 – 71.52 percent in favor of the building and site sinking fund, according to unofficial results from the Genesee County Elections Office.
The 18 mill operating millage becomes effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 and is expected to generate revenues of $2,029,678 during the 2016 calendar year, according to ballot language. The current operating millage will expire on June 30, 2016.
The building and site sinking fund millage renewal — effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021 – is estimated to generate revenues of $469,978 during the 2016 calendar year.
Flint Township voters who live in the Flushing School District cast their votes at Our Lady of Lebanon Church, 4133 Calkins Road.


Am I used to driving in the fishbowl window about 8' in the air while zooming down the highway in CiCiBlue yet? I need to be honest and say, ah, not yet. At times it's wonderful but going over high bridges next to a really small guard rail seems like I have just joined the Wallenda's high wire group. I'm afraid of heights. 😓 Needless to say, when we finally arrived at this campground, I asked to stay two nights just to regain my composure.
Americamps RV Resort is right off of I 95 and with taxes and Good Sam discount was 54.00 a night. The a/c doesn't work well up front so I was incredibly drained and hot and honestly would have paid hundreds just to stop. We are here for two nights and Roger, right now, is up front working on the window fan in front of me to see if he can get it to work. They have a long drive through so we don't have to take the car off the dolly, good deal. Free waffles, juice, milk and fruit is served every morning except Thursday so this morning was a no brainer . Dogs to the small dog park, but I bet the small dogs think it's huge, then off to the "rally room".
This seems to be a stop over camp ground for travelers with a few full time people that probably work near by on construction. Quite a few people have left this morning after their waffles.
My kids have been giving me lots of reference photos for up coming paintings. Love the light on this one!
Now a few photos from our past few days.
A Fire Rainbow. I read the sun has to be exactly at a 58 degree angle but to me this was a sign that we would be ok in our travels.
I actually am getting better in finding spaces to store stuff as we roll. Maybe, hopefully, by the time we go across country I will have less stuff!!!
The boys are keeping as eye of Dad as her fills our tank. I think this was in South Carolina. Fuel here at the Pilot was 2.39 a gallon.
When we stop the kids just chill.
I loved this. A tree outside our living room slide window.
The infamous South Of The Border. After seeing a zillion signs for it you finally pass it.
I believe in signs. Not the "Stop" or "Turn Here" type but the kind you find outside your steps after you spend a night worrying that you may break down, or the car you are towing may suddenly decide to roll away as you are zooming along.... I came out of the RV and this was at the bottom of the stairs. Yes I know the meaning so I'm feeling very protected right now.
295 N in Va is the route you take to get around Richmond. For miles it's smooth and fun to drive on. Then suddenly, it's like you drop of the face of the earth into the abyss. CiCiBlue held strong though I thought for sure the front axles broke away from the frame. It continued for a few miles, more than Lola and I could deal with. She became amazingly small and scooched down in front of me and I grabbed the rail beside me in a death grip. Why didn't we move to another part of the road? There was no other. The entire road was horrendous. And I complained about the Carolina roads. Dear Lord!
So here we are until tomorrow! To finish our journey up to the campground, I called and asked to extend our stay until Monday morning. Perfect. The GPS then told us how to get here and we followed. There is a lot of road construction happening and no one updated the GPS so we missed the secondary road and the GPS lead us through a small secluded residential area. CiCI is a loud diesel so I'm sure they just loved it. We backtracked and then the GPS lead us to yet another area on the other side of I 95. Sweet mother, how will we turn around? Take a left Roger and turn around at that store.
That's where we found ourselves going up the "no trucks" roadway into Bass Pro Shop. We made it thankfully into the parking lot and did find a way to turn us around and go back down to the road to the highway again. I thought I saw the sign for the campground just before the GPS sent us to the lovely neighborhood but we were on the wrong side of the street to turn so we had a head start this time around. Why do you get out of the RV and kiss the ground Sheila? Now you know.
Have a great day everyone and see you tomorrow if we have internet!
I totally understand your "worries". I was always that way. As far as the gps ( we called ours Gabby because she never shut up) adventure, I finally found I could bring up maps on my iPad and check that the gps was taking us the right way. Solved a lot of those "WHERE ARE WE GOING TO TURN AROUND" moments. We also would turn our generator on and run the house air conditioner when traveling in the heat. Love your blog and your artwork.
Thank you Cathie. Looking forward to loosing the nerves! Lol we have been running the generator and having the a/c on, it just didn't seem to be getting to me. Ugh. Hopefully now that the fan is working up front it will make a difference!
Hi Sheila! Somehow all your blog writings came up today. Wow, am I ever thrilled they did. What a harrowing time you have had. Since I believe in white feathers, Hawks that swoop down over my Dad's grave & graze the top of the artificial sunflower and set it spinning,just to let me know my Dad's spirit is with me, I felt that you would make it safely to your next stop.
BTW, that happened years ago & The song Sunflower was playing in my 95 Pontiac van and my sister-in-law told me to remove the sunflower because it was "tacky". Well I didn't take it off his grave that day.
I love your writing and also that picture of Sophie when she was a puppy. I always thought of her as the Dog Of The Dunes.
Many hugs to you and your family.
Hugs to you! Dog in The Dunes started me on my painting Labs adventure remember! Glad you left the sunflower too!!!


Aras recently announced the results of independent testing conducted by Logic 20/20 for the scalability of product life cycle management (PLM) software Aras Innovator 10 running Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition on HP ProLiant servers with the HP ioDrive2 Duo IO accelerator technology from Fusion-io. The results validate optimal performance and resource utilization for 500,000 named users with 125,000 concurrent users, the largest testing conducted to date in the enterprise PLM industry.
Aras Innovator 10 and SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition running on standard HP server configurations showed strong performance and excellent resource utilization across all tests.
During testing average CPU utilization was consistently below 25 percent and total percentage of CPU utilization never exceeded 30 percent.
The average response times were fast across the different concurrent user loads tested from 25,000 to 125,000.
As expected in an online transaction processing (OLTP) workload like Aras Innovator 10, the greatest constraint was in the I/O subsystem's ability to read and write to disk.
The benchmark testing results validate that Aras Innovator 10 running on SQL Server 2012 Enterprise Edition scales nearly linearly with hardware upgrades and is architected for very high numbers of concurrent users.
The performance of Aras Innovator 10 is not constrained by its architecture. The design puts the burden of work on the hardware, so it can be scaled-up and scaled-out with server hardware.
The Aras architecture supports scale-out on the file system and web servers with scale-up on the database by moving non-transactional data to the scale-out servers, allowing Aras Innovator 10 to handle very large levels of throughput by using frequent, short database transactions.
Optimized exclusively for Microsoft SQL Server, Aras Innovator 10 is able to achieve this new level of PLM scalability because of Aras' unique technology innovation, a model-based service oriented architecture (model-based SOA). The model-based SOA is designed for scalability, flexibility and extensibility while delivering consistent performance at scale whether running applications out-of-the-box or highly customized.
For more information, the Logic 20/20 Scalability Benchmark Methodology and Performance Results report is available here.


Kintan is the first yakiniku-style restaurant to open in High Holborn, London. Yakiniku literally translates into grilled meat and is considered as the Japanese take on the Korean barbecue. This is a style of Japanese BBQ where the diner can order a selection of bite sized meats, seafood and vegetables to be prepared over table grill. The best part of the experience is being interactive with your food and watching it sizzle away just the way you like it.
Whilst Kintan specialises in grilled meats, there is a selection of appetisers, salads, rice and noodles. To start we ordered the hot oil seared salmon (£7) which came beautifully served with a house citrus sauce. This sashimi grade salmon simply melted in the mouth as the hot oil gave the salmon a gentle warm sear.
We also had the tuna tartar volcano (£7), the tuna tartar was prepared with a delicious spicy mayo. This was delicious and fresh but what made this dish really special was the textual contrast of the deep fried rice cracker against the creamy tartar and the addition of caviar sprinkled on top.
The tofu chigae (£10), a spicy tofu stew was served with a combination of ground chicken, kimchee, enoki mushrooms and egg. The base of the stock was enriched with a gorgeous oxtail stock and enhanced with the spicy addition of kimchee and chiage (soybean) paste. The highlight of this dish was the tofu itself, it had the most incredible, delicate and smooth texture I have ever experienced which absorbed the wonderful intense flavours of the broth. Unfortunately, the egg turned out overcooked and rubbery but otherwise this was still a fantastic bowl of soup with great intense flavours.

La chapelle Saint-Roch-et-Saint-Fiacre est un édifice religieux catholique sis à Floreffe, en province de Namur (Belgique). Construite en 1632 et agrandie au siècle suivant elle est classée au patrimoine immobilier de Wallonie.

Histoire
Au XVIe et  des épidémies de peste ravageaient fréquemment les régions de Pays-Bas méridionaux. Ce fut à nouveau le cas en 1632, dans cette partie de la principauté de Liège, à Floreffe.  C'est de cette époque que date la chapelle Saint-Roch.  La pierre de fondation, fixée aujourd'hui sur le mur latéral extérieur, en est un silencieux témoin : 'IHS/1632'.  Le cimetière où étaient enterrées les victimes de la peste se trouvait dans la vallée du Crolcul (un ruisseau, affluent de la Sambre), en contrebas de la chapelle. Sur la hauteur, - un massif rocheux au sud-est de l'abbaye de Floreffe - un sanctuaire fut construit en l'honneur de saint Roch, patron et protecteur, entre autres, des victimes de maladies contagieuses. On demande sa protection et soutien même après la mort. La chapelle se trouve sur une éminence rocheuse entre deux vallées.

Un peu plus d'un siècle plus tard, étant donné le nombre de pèlerins visitant la chapelle, elle est agrandie: on double son espace en prolongeant sa nef et un clocheton est érigé au dessus de sa façade. Cette partie est construite en pierre du pays. Du promontoire où se trouve la chapelle on peut voir l'abbaye et le bourg de Floreffe et, l'abbaye ayant des jardins proches du sanctuaire, on dédie ce dernier également à saint Fiacre, patron des jardiniers. D'où la seconde inscription que l'on peut voir sur une pierre au-dessus de la porte d'entrée : IHS/S.ROCH/ET/S.FIACRE/P.P.N./1744.

Comme partout ailleurs la période révolutionnaire française marque un temps d'arrêt aux pèlerinages et autres dévotions populaires dans la région. La chapelle est quasi abandonnée durant le . Vers la fin du  cependant une restauration est entreprise à l'instigation de la nouvelle 'confrérie de Saint-Roch' avec les autorités communales et la fabrique d'église. Le bâtiment acquiert son aspect actuel.

Aujourd'hui, le sanctuaire est délaissé et négligé. Les cérémonies religieuses y sont rares.  Cependant elle se trouve sur le circuit de la 'marche Saint-Roch' du mois d'aout (la fête liturgique de saint Roch est le 16 aout).

L'état de la chapelle est déplorable. Le clocheton est enveloppé de bâches protectrices contre les intempéries. La situation est telle que, en 2019, l'accès de la chapelle et ses alentours fut interdit par un arrêté municipal, car jugé dangereux.

Description
Occupant une position proéminente et bien dégagée au sommet d'un petit massif rocheux la chapelle permet une vue panoramique remarquable du bourg et de l'abbaye de Floreffe.  Elle est entourée de trois tilleuls centenaires.

Adresse
Tienne Saint-Roch, 5150 Floreffe

Being A Mother
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, "I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you."
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought that it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded. "Just the two of us."
She thought about it for a moment, and then said...
"I would like that very much."
That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Half way through the entries, I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor," I responded.
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation - nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" asked my wife when I got home.
"Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. An attached note said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son."
At that moment I understood the importance of saying, in time, "I LOVE YOU."
And to give our loved ones the time they deserve. Because nothing is more important in life than family... and they shouldn't be put off until "some other time."
THOUGHTS ON MOTHERHOOD
Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you've had a baby... that somebody doesn't know that once you're a mother, "normal" is history.
Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct... that somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.
Somebody said being a mother is boring... that somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit.
Somebody said if you're a "good" mother, your child will "turn out good"... that somebody thinks a child comes with directions and a guarantee.
Somebody said "good" mothers never raise their voices... that somebody never came out the back door just in time to see her child hit a golf ball through the neighbor's kitchen window.
Somebody said you don't need an education to be a mother... that somebody never helped a fourth grader with his math.
Somebody said you can't love the fifth child as much as you love the first... that somebody doesn't have five children.
Somebody said a mother can find all the answers to her child-rearing questions in the books... that somebody never had a child stuff beans up his nose or in his ears.
Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery... that somebody never watched her "baby" get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten... or on a plane headed for military "boot camp."
Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back... that somebody never organized seven giggling Brownies to sell cookies.
Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after her child gets married... that somebody doesn't know that marriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to a mother's heartstrings.
Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home... that somebody never had grandchildren.
Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don't need to tell her... that somebody isn't a mother.
to every Mother on every day of the year!
Please share this with every daughter and son you know.

American Idol 2013: What Should The Top 8 Sing?
March 26, 2013 Branden American Idol, American Idol 2013, Season 12 5
The American Idol 2013 Top 8 will be tackling songs of Motown this week and like every week, we're tossing out some song ideas that we think would be cool for the contestants to sing based on the theme.
What Should The American Idol 2013 Top 8 Sing This Week?
Lazaro Arbos, "You Really Got A Hold On Me." As we learned last week, Lazaro doesn't do so well with songs he doesn't love. So let's hope he loves something from Motown week. I think he could do well with Smoky Robinson's "You Really Got A Hold On Me."
Janelle Arthur, "I Want You Back." It's definitely time for Janelle to speed things up. I think her doing a twangy version of The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" could be pretty awesome.
Candice Glover, "Superstition." After last week's edgy rock performance, I'd love to hear Candice break out some funk with this Stevie Wonder classic. I think she could have a moment with this one. I'm afraid she's going to want to slow it down this week, but I'm not ready for her to slow it down!
Kree Harrison, "Reach Out I'll Be There." I'm picking this because I love the song and I love Kree's voice and I think she could really make it work more than anyone else this season. I'd love to hear her take on this song.
Amber Holcomb, "You Keep Me Hanging On." I think Amber needs to go upbeat and this could be the song for her to do just that. It definitely needs to be modernized, so the arrangement would be very important. She also needs to do something big this week to pull herself out of the bottom three.
Angie Miller, "I'll Be There." I think she could really impress some people with this song. I think she should do a Jackson 5 version over the Mariah Carey version (for obvious reasons), but moreover, I think she should do the Angie Miller version. She could strip the song down and just give to us from her and her piano.
Burnell Talyor, "The Tears of A Clown." I can't believe I'm picking this song for anyone because I'm pretty sure I've avoided it every other season they've done Motown. I'm not a huge fan of this song, but for some reason I can really imagine Burnell pulling it off and pulling it off well.
Devin Velez, "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)." It doesn't matter what the poor guy sings because he's going to be in the bottom and he's probably going home because that's how producers have calculated this season. So I think he should do a song he likes and can have fun with.
What would you like to hear the American Idol 2013 Top 8 sing this week?

Aubrey Cleland Excited For American Idol 2013 Tour (VIDEO)
TheJudgesStink says:
Angie – "Touch Me in the Morning" – Diana Ross
Candace – "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"
Kree – "Oh No" – The Commodores
Janelle – "Shop Around" – The Miracles
Devin – "Brick House" – The Commodores
Burnell – "Just My Imagination" – The Temptations
Lazaros – "She's Out of My Life" — Michael Jackson
pr63 says:
the girls will be great and the guys, well, you all know the answer to that. hopefully no one will take on "tracks of my tears". i can't see a girl leaving this week. it's down to devin and lazaro. in choosing this collection of guys, the judges couldn't have been more obvious. oh for the days of simon
These are good but I think Angela should sing "Ain't no mountain high enough" by Dianna Ross. I still compare her voice to Amy Grant's-the religous as well as pop singer.

But when I say, "I help people communicate better", they're interested. They ask how I do it. They see me as useful. And all because I used a different opening sentence.
How you describe yourself – your Elevator Pitch – is critical. It's the first impression you give. An exciting one turns people on, a poor one turns them off – and you've only said one sentence.

A 70-year-old man has been bashed in a late night attack at his home in Horowhenua.
Staunch environmentalist John Andrews says he may have been a target as he had highlighted pollution issues from the Shannon Sewage Treatment Plant into the Otāuru River.
Battered and bruised, Corny Andrews is still recovering from an assault right on his doorstep.
"I saw two men in the glooms and said what's going on? What are you up to? I thought they might be trying to tahae my van, and then I heard someone behind me and then boom and I ended up down there," says victim, Mr Andrews.
The environmentalist had been at the Mangaore Stream earlier in the day recording this footage he says shows toilet paper in the water from the Shannon Waste Water Treatment plant.
"We had had an altercation with the Regional Council earlier in the day out there and I don't know if theres any connection and I would only be speculating if there was, but this fight has been going on for years," says Andrews.
In a statement to Te Kāea, the Horowhenua District Council says Mr Andrews was known to the council and they dispute the video, claiming it's a distortion of facts.
Corny says he has filed the assault incident with the police, and is hoping trouble won't find its way back to his home.


A dark chocolate hollow reindeer from the Choceur range of Aldi. I am so chuffed that Aldi have these in stock again for this Christmas. I discovered these in January when they were selling them off cheap. Be careful only the dark chocolate ones are vegan and they do look similar to the milk ones.
The chocolate is a good quality and is quite thick. The reindeer is cute and a good size at 120grams. I will be giving a few people these as gifts this year. at 99p you cannot go wrong.
Each 120gram reindeer is suitable for vegetarians and vegan as far as I can tell (see faq). Per 25gram serving is 140kcal. Sold in Aldi.
We are volunteer Badger supporters against the government badger-cull and live in Swansea, S.Wales. Although we are Vegans (for 27 years) we feel the huge numbers of dairy product consumers are vital to help stop this government's plans to cull our precious and iconic UK Badger populations.
So we have set up a new free website to promote 'Badger-friendly' dairy products to UK customers, where they can choose to support farms that work in harmony with nature and the environment.
The new 'Badger-friendly' website is atwww.greenshoppinglist.wix.com/badgers and contains a list of dairy products from farms which are presently in non-cull areas.
We hope this may be of interest to lacto-vegetarians who visit your website, and it would be great if Veggies UK would consider leading a national campaign to promote 'Badger-friendly' dairy products.

'Six Thinking Hats' is an important and powerful technique by Edward De Bono. If you look at a problem with the 'Six Thinking Hats' technique, then you will solve it using all approaches. Your decisions and plans will mix ambition, skill in execution, public sensitivity, creativity and good contingency planning.
Each colour/hat represents a different perspective or point-of-view.
THE WHITE HAT: concerned with objective facts and figures.
THE BLACK HAT: negative aspects; why it cannot be done.
THE YELLOW HAT: optimistic, hope, positive thinking.
THE BLUE HAT: control and organization of the thinking processes.
Edward De Bono writes that the idea of a thinking hat or thinking cap is well established: I'll have to put on my thinking hat and consider that proposal…put on your thinking cap and phone me tomorrow.

Activities and Recreation
Governor Earl Peshtigo River State ForestActivities and recreation
ATV riding
During the winter, ATVs are allowed to operate on open snowmobile trails. Please note, this is allowed only in the winter months when the snowmobile trails are officially open.
A small portion of the Woodland ATV Trail runs through the state forest. Other than the snowmobile trails that ATVs may use in winter, this is the only location open to ATVs on the state forest. It is your responsibility to know where you can legally ride. Illegal ATV use is strictly prohibited.
Additional information on trail passes, registration and safety tips.
Marinette County [exit DNR] maintains a vast network of ATV trails.
Cross-country skiing and hiking
The state forest provides two systems of trails. Numerous rustic roads and volunteer-maintained hunter walking trails on the forest are also open to hikers. Ski touring is allowed on unmarked trails throughout the forest.
Ski trail map and brochure [PDF]
Spring Rapids Trail
The five-mile Spring Rapids Trail can be accessed by driving five miles west of Crivitz on County Road W to Kirby Lake Lane. This hiking and skiing trail system includes various loops that provide some extremely steep hills, breathtaking views, several distances and quiet serenity broken only by the rush of the Peshtigo River. During ski season, the trails are groomed for classical and skate skiing. Pets, hiking and snowshoeing are not permitted on groomed ski trails.
Seymour Rapids Trail
This three-mile trail is 9.5 miles west of Crivitz, off Bushman Road and Marinette County Road 1634. Although smaller than the Spring Rapids Trail, this system provides some steep hills and beautiful scenery. This trail is open to hiking, and trails are not groomed at this time for cross-country skiing.
Horseback riding and mountain biking
There are no designated equestrian or mountain bike trails on the state forest, however, the forest is open to these activities. Except during the winter months, snowmobile trails and angler access roads are open to equestrian riders and mountain bikers. In addition, horseback riders and bikers can use the many volunteer-maintained hunter walking trails throughout the forest. Together, these trails provide over 35 miles of trail riding.
There are several native communities within the state forest that are prohibited to horseback riding because they contain sensitive and endangered plant species. These areas are posted closed to horseback riding. Please visit the forest office for further information.
Horseback riders and bikers should exercise caution as other users may be on the trails at the same time. Also be aware that many trails cross private land. Please respect private landowners and do not trespass.
For a safe trail riding experience, mountain bikers should yield the right of way to let horses pass. Equestrian riders are also encouraged to let other trail users know when it safe to pass.
All ground blinds and elevated devices must be removed from the property at the close of hunting hours each day, unless ground blinds are constructed entirely of dead vegetation found on the forest. You must have the appropriate licenses and please review Wisconsin's regulations before you hunt or trap on the state forest.
The Governor Earl Peshtigo River State Forest offers ample opportunities for hunters and trappers seeking all types of game. The majority of lands within the state forest are open to hunting during the scheduled seasons. The exception is a 100-yard buffer around the campground in Old Veteran's Lake Campground. White-tail deer, small game, black bear and migratory birds are the primary game species. Trappers can find beaver, muskrat, raccoon, fisher and mink on the property.
Snowmobiling is a very popular sport in northeastern Wisconsin and the Governor Earl Peshtigo River State Forest has approximately 20 miles of snowmobile trails that connect with the regional network of trails. Trails are maintained in cooperation with Marinette County and local snowmobile clubs. Ample parking is available at boat landings 5, 9, and 10.
Additional information on trail pass requirements, regulations and safety tips.
Marinette County [exit DNR] web pages lists maps and reports on the county's entire snowmobile trail system.
The opening and closing of snowmobile trails is at the discretion of each county. Snowmobile trails which cross DNR lands are opened and closed consistent with the surrounding county (or counties). Whenever possible, the opening and closing of snowmobile trails is done on a county-wide basis, however localized conditions may require localized trail opening and closing. It is the responsibility of the county to provide notification about the status of snowmobile trails. The Travel Wisconsin Snow Conditions Report [exit DNR], and local club and county snowmobile web pages [exit DNR] and telephone hotlines will provide the most current information.
The state forest has two beaches for visitors to enjoy. Old Veteran's Lake Beach offers ten acres of exceptionally clear water and a small beach for enjoyment. There are vault toilets and drinking water available, and an admission fee is required to swim here.
Boat Landing #9 (a.k.a. Musky Point) has recently been renovated and features a beautifully-designated beach on Caldron Falls with perfect southern exposure for beach goers. Picnic tables, grills and benches are available next to the beach, and vault toilets are located at the nearby boat landing.
The forests surrounding the Peshtigo flowages offer abundant food, water and shelter for a variety of animal species such as songbirds, turkeys, white-tail deer, black bears and butterflies. In addition, the waters of the flowages provide habitat for bald eagles, sandhill cranes, ospreys, common loons, great blue herons and many species of waterfowl. The flowages are also home to many furbearers and various species of amphibians and reptiles.
There are numerous opportunities to observe and enjoy wildlife in a remote and wild setting, but please remember to observe from a distance. In particular, make sure to stay at least 100 yards away from eagle and osprey nests to minimize disturbance.
