Jessica Gasbarre
Woman to Watch | Democrat and Chronicle | June 24, 2018
Sandy Sloane, Special to Rochester Democrat and Chronicle USA TODAY NETWORK
As the creator of the Memorial Art Gallery monthly DeTOUR℠ program, MAG's engagement manager Jessica Gasbarre combines her love of art, creativity, relationship building, and education in an effort to expose the community to the museum's collection.
"Our DeTOUR℠ programs are quirky, themed tours of the MAG where we pair art with topics that may not be directly related (like Harry Potter, the rules of hair care, yoga, movies, etc.). Relating to the theme of the month, we share fun facts about our artists, make personal connections to our art, and partake in museum shenanigans," said Gasbarre describing the program. "My role is to change people's perceptions about art and to get them to engage with the MAG; to think of art museums as places they can have fun, learn to relax, as well as be challenged and inspired. When visitors feel welcome and make personal connections to our collection, they will want to return."
The idea for the DeTOUR℠ program at MAG was born after Gasbarre attended a Museum Hack boot camp in New York City where she learned how to use insider stories and fun activities in unconventional museum tours. She immediately wanted to replicate the program in Rochester. Coworker Meg Colombo nominated Gasbarre as a Woman to Watch citing how she single-handedly launched the DeTOUR℠ program and made it her own at MAG. Jessica's enthusiasm and passion and the new programs she has spearheaded have exposed a wonderful new audience to the MAG."
"Engaging people with the fun parts of the MAG bridges the gap between education and engagement. The name DeTOUR℠ says it all…you take a different route but in the end, you still arrive where you are supposed to, filled with information yet in a fun way!"

Personal: 30, Rochester resident, single (but married to Leonardo DiCaprio in my mind).
Education: St. John Fisher College, Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, Adolescence Education and Special Education, 2011; University of Rochester, Master of Arts in English, to be awarded later in 2018.
My recent work achievements: Spoke at the American Alliance of Museums Conference in Arizona about our growing DeTOUR℠ program; spoke at Museum Association of New York's Conference about digital engagement.
My current community activities: Overall, I love to help promote all types of local art events to try to get them to the widest audience possible. Also, I'm working with RocMoto, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts to get to get them invested in viewing motorcycles as works of sculptural art.
I am currently reading: The Alienist, The Tipping Point, and The Love Letters of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning.
The biggest challenge I've overcome: Learning how to best manage stress is a constant challenge that I'm starting to get the hang of. Balancing a dream job that includes a lot of nights and weekend social events with the increasing demands of grad school, and relationships with friends and family is sometimes overwhelming. I've learned to say no to things, to ask for help and to make self-care a priority.
I'm inspired by: My mother Rosanna Gasbarre, who left the sun-kissed cobblestone streets of Naples, Italy, and moved to Rochester for love. She brought me to countless art museums as a kid, let me mix paint with my fingers and explore the realms of creativity. She read to me and encouraged me to be imaginative, to be kind, to have fun, and to set goals and work hard to achieve them.
My future goals: Personally, I would like to travel all over the world. Professionally, I would like to keep growing in the museum world and bring new programs to MAG to keep building our audience.
Career advise for someone just starting out: Make as many great connections as possible; build and maintain as many positive relationships as you can- relationships are instrumental to future success.
My guilty pleasure: Photoshopping Leonardo DiCaprio into a good portion of my pictures.
If I weren't in my current job, I would be: Desperately finding a way to tap into the Rochester art community in some way!
My favorite inspiring quote: "I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ~ Michael Joran

National Restoration Targets
IUCN Projects
Azerbaijan is a country in the South Caucasus region.Due to the unique climate in Azerbaijan, about 67 percent of the species growing in the whole Caucasus can be found in Azerbaijan. Since the independence of Azerbaijan in 1991, the government has taken drastic measures to preserve the environment of Azerbaijan. But national protection of the environment started to truly improve after 2001 when the state budget increased due to new revenues provided by the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. Within four years, protected areas doubled and now make up eight percent of the country's territory. Since 2001, the government has set up seven large reserves and almost doubled the sector of the budget earmarked for environmental protection.

Chapter 5: Vulnerability Assessment, Climate Change Impacts, and Adaptation Measures – Forests (pg. 71-72):
Reforestation: forest restoration measures were conducted on 10,528 ha in 2012, forest planting and sowing took place on 3,078 ha. Support for natural restoration of forests was made on the remaining 7,450 ha. However, it is still necessary to increase the amount of protection forests in the low-lying areas and non-forested areas in several places. The works in the direction of restoration and reconstruction of Tuqay forests located in the valley of Kura and Araz Rivers are being carried out. Large areas of protective forests have to be planted in the mountainous areas to prevent erosion, as well as comprehensive measures for the rehabilitation of major rivers basins (reforestation, agro-meliorative and hydromeliorative) should be carried out.
Suggested Adaptation Measures:
Design and implementation of forest planting programs: The trees should be fast growing and drought-resistant species, preferable local species should be used;
Reforestation and restoration measures should be carried out in arid areas;
Reforestation activities in regions with high risk to flood;
Preventive measures should be taken to avoid forest fires;
Prevention of the spread of pests and diseases;
Development and implementation of measures for the restoration of forests to ensure efficient use of renewable forest resources (fruits, medicinal, etc.);
Planting of fast-growing trees on farms to reduce the shortage in forest products;
Design and planting of forests and gardens that meets the needs of a new agricultural system.

The National Program on forest restoration and expansion
The key biodiversity mainstreaming activities undertaken in the last four years, for each of the key production sectors in Azerbaijan, is summarized as follows:
Forestry sector: expanding the national forest coverage; greening urban areas; and rehabilitating the ecological functioning of degraded forests. (pg. 7)
Actions taken to implement the CBD since the fourth report (2010), and the outcomes of these actions (pg. 35)

2.4 Effectiveness of the mainstreaming of biodiversity into relevant sectorial and cross-sectorial strategies, plans and programs
A number of state programmes are being implemented to now expand the national forest coverage, green urban areas and rehabilitate the ecological functioning of degraded forests. Wide-scale national forest planting and greening initiatives have been undertaken over the last 5 years. Most of the species of trees and bushes used for forest planting and greening are fast-growing trees and bushes (e.g. chestnut oak, chestnut, ash, plane tree, cypress). Regular maintenance of forests is being implemented to protect forest species from various diseases and pests. In accordance with the "National Program on forest restoration and expansion" forest restoration activities were implemented in the area of 53215 hectares… Re/afforestation measures were taken in the area of 10131 hectares instead of the forecasted 10120, along with forestation and sowing works in the area of 2,746 hectares instead of the forecasted 2745. In the area of 7385 hectares, measures were taken for assisting natural re/afforestation. (pg. 40)

In making gardens, I aspire to enhance the inherent character of the given site and to create the base upon which the garden can grow over time, cherishing values of fascinations and marvels it presents to us in daily life - no matter how modest they could be.
For the work of pruning and maintenance, I start from understanding the wishes of the client, then propose best ideas and appropriate techniques in order to orient the garden toward the beauty it merits.
It will be my pleasure if I can help my clients spend beautiful time with their friends and beloved ones, over their gardens.


Re: R. O. Steel Roofing Pty. Ltd.
We were introduced to the above company following a severe hail storm in October 2003 which damaged the asbestos roof to our factory at 19 Loftus Street Riverstone.
The repair was finally given the go ahead by the insurance company and started on 21st November 2003. It is completed and the company worked in with our staff and production requirements to minimize any disruption to us including working on weekends.
We know that they worked through some difficulties with other sites near by that were not being managed safely and they were still able to proceed with our repair.
We are very pleased with the new roof, which is giving more light and control of the temperature in the working areas.
The team was professional and punctual and turned when they said they would.
They cleaned up after removing the old materials as well as the asbestos removal.
If there is any other matter not covered above i would be happy to discuss that issue personally.

Bruery Terreux | Our 2017 Public Release Calendar is here!
Our 2017 Public Release Calendar is here!
We have a done a bit of an overhaul on our 2017 anticipated beer releases for distribution. If you reside in one of our 29 distributed states, keep an eye out for our many releases throughout this year.
Highlights include brand new year-rounds, new beer series, tri-annual seasonals from Bruery Terreux, and a monumental release of several barrel-aged beers that have never seen distribution before. With all these new releases also comes a tighter limit on the availability of some favorites. Don't forget, you can always use our Beer Locator to help you find our creations in your area. These beers will see distribution to our national footprint in 750 mL bottles and a small amount of draft.
Keep in mind we have a slew of even smaller special releases that only our Society members are privy to. If you're a local friend of ours interested in trying even more small releases from us, don't miss our Tasting Room releases, which you can find out about easily by signing up for our Tasting Room newsletter.
Seasonals: Spring — Or Xata 2017 & Humulus Terreux (Mosaic), Summer — Jardinier and Bruery Terreux's yet to be named rose-colored, gose-inspired beer/wine hybrid incorporating red grapes; Fall — Autumn Maple & Gypsy Tart, Winter — 10 Lords-A-Leaping.
2017 Mischief reveals a new dry-hopping plan and a brand new label, both of which will change each year, every year. The 2017 edition of Mischief features Citra and Motueka hops, adding fresh citrus and tropical notes to the ripe, fruity character of the crisp, dry and effervescent Belgian-style GABF Gold Medalist. 2017 Mischief's label showcases its gold medal achievement, a new color palette in deep green and gold, and plenty of hop graphics in its new design.
A brand new, year-round release from The Bruery, The Order summons The Bruery's characterful house yeast strain, dates, and a touch of coriander spicing for a Belgian-style amber that's sure to satisfy fans of darker abbey ales ripe with dark fruit notes. This release introduces a new diecut reminiscent of abbey windows to the Famille Rue lineup.
Frederick Hottenroth was a great inventor, and he happened to be Partrick Rue's grandfather. His namesake carries on in this low-ABV tart wheat beer that is 100% fermented in American-made oak foeders with brettanomyces and lactobacillus. This brand new year-round from Bruery Terreux boasts a bright acidity and a tropical, fruity aroma and flavor. The label art features blueprints of Frederick's inventions, complete with his signature.
This bourbon barrel-aged wheatwine-style ale made a fanciful trip to the chocolatier and returned with luscious flavors of white chocolate – hence the name. White Chocolate is a rewarding summons to the senses – beginning with its golden appearance and finishing with warming, white chocolate-like flavors. This is accomplished by adding cacao nibs from TCHO and fresh vanilla beans to The Bruery's bourbon barrel-aged wheatwine-style ale, complementing the rich notes of coconut, honey, caramel and vanilla from extensive barrel-aging.
Mélange No. 3 is a blend of three bourbon barrel aged strong ales. White Oak Sap, The Bruery's Anniversary Series old ale, and Black Tuesday join forces in this luxurious strong ale that links some of the best characteristics of each of the contributing beers. Chocolate, dark fruits, oaky vanilla and rich toffee-like character reach through the bourbon veneer for an intensely satisfying quaff.
Sans Pagaie is inspired by the Belgian-style kriek, which is a traditional, sour blonde ale aged in barrels with cherries. The word "kriek" actually translates to "cherry" in the Flemish language, so the clever moniker, Sans Pagaie, translates from French to without a paddle. The base beer has a subtle funk, which melds gently with the fruit giving this beer flavors reminiscent of coconut, vanilla yogurt and, of course, fresh cherries.
A new, rotating series of hoppy beers will be popping up in select markets under the "Hoppy Obligations" banner. It may be an imperial lager, a Vermont-style pale, a hoppy red, or another hoppy brew that doesn't fit an exact style, but you know it will be delicious and consumed quickly.
We look forward to enjoying this year's beers with you soon. Please note these releases are subject to change without notice. Happy 2017 to you!

Q: Encoding HTML for input I have created a form for customers to request information from a site. The form then sends me an email using Webmail.Send. The site will throw an error if the user tries to input part or all of an html opening tag, ie "<h1" or "
". I developed the site with WebMatrix and I am trying to solve this issue using Html.Encode(). If I hard code in Html.Encode("
") everything is great, the email is sent and the html tag looks great in the email. If I try to use a variable, Html.Encode(firstName), the site crashes if the user enters part or all of an html opening tag. If the user enters something that doesn't look like html then everything is fine, ie "Steve". Below is the code I am having issues with.
    var customerEmail = Request["customerEmail"];
    var firstName = Request["firstName"];
    var lastName = Request["lastName"];
    var phoneNumber = Request["phoneNumber"];
    var customerRequest = Request["customerRequest"];
    var rAddress = Request["rAddress"];
    var rCity = Request["rCity"];
    var rState = Request["rState"];
    var rZip = Request["rZip"];

    try
        {
            WebMail.Send(to:"request@yourdomain.com", subject: "Request from " + customerEmail, body:
            "Request:
_____________________________________

" +
            customerRequest + "

Contact Info:
_____________________________________

" + Html.Encode(firstName)  + " " + lastName + "
" + rAddress +
            "
" + rCity + " " + rState + " " + rZip + "
" + phoneNumber + "
" + customerEmail, replyTo: customerEmail);
        }
    catch (Exception ex )
        {
            <text>@ex</text>
        }

I know the issue is possible with all of the inputs but that will be easily fixed once I figure out this first one.

A: If you allow users to post HTML as part of their form submission, you must use Request.Unvalidated() to reference the form field value to prevent ASP.NET request validation from kicking in (which results in the error message you reported):
var firstName = Request.Unvalidated("firstName");
var lastName = Request.Unvalidated("lastName");

The Hammond-Harwood House in Annapolis is one of the premier colonial houses remaining in America from the British colonial period. The house was designed by the architect William Buckland in 1773-74 for wealthy farmer Matthias Hammond. The museum is open to the public for guided tours. Special activities which focus on colonial history, art and architecture are scheduled throughout the year.
The Hammond-Harwood House is a five part Anglo-Palladian (derived from 16th Italian architect Andrea Palladio) mansion that features some of the best woodcarving and plasterwork in America. It maintains a kind of symmetry and system of proportions that are rarely seen in buildings of this period. While most 18th century structures were fashioned by amateurs and artisans, the Hammond-Harwood house was clearly the work of a trained professional architect.

Q: Writing specific data types to pipe in Ruby OK, last question from me - Let's assume I have the following data structure:
byte length
byte message_code
byte[] payload

it is very important that each bit of data be in it's correct data type when written to the pipe; how can I ensure that my data array (which in Ruby looks like this):
data = [ 15, 0, .... ] # the ... indicates the payload

is written as individual bytes - ie, 15 is written as a byte, not as two characters (ie, '1' and '5')?
Currently, my data is being converted to a string and then written, which means that 15 is not written as 15, but rather the individual characters for '1' and '5'. Which means that in the pipe, it is presented like this:
"1, 5, 0, 4, 1, 2, 1, 0, 4" (notice that the 1 is an individual character instead of being a part of 15)

instead of
150412104 (etc)

Thanks to Uri Agassi, my finished code looks like this:
data = [ 15, # message code + payload size
  0, # message code
  4, # protocol version
  12, # size of string
]

data.concat('hello, world'.bytes.to_a)
p data
packed_data = data.pack 'c*' # Convert the data into a string containing 8-bit unsigned characters

A: With the help of this answer - use Array#pack and String#unpack to convert to and from binary representations.

Evidence of early humans unearthed in Central Highlands province
Over 1,000 stone objects and 600 pieces of meteorite dating back 800,000 years have been unearthed at archaeological sites in An Khe in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai.
The results of the dig were announced at an international workshop gathering 200 international scholars held at the site at the end of March.
Over the past five years, archaeologists from the Vietnam Archaeology Institute and Russia Science Academy have discovered 24 Paleolithic sites, four of which have been excavated, including Go Da, Roc Tung 1, Roc Tung 4 and Roc Tung 7.
Russian experts brought the meteorite home and conducted further analysis. They found that the meteorite samples gathered at the Go Da site (An Binh ward) were around 806,000 years old and samples from Roc Tung 1 dated back 782,000 years.
Alexander Kandyba, from the Novosibirsk Archaeology – Ethnology Institute (under the Russia Science Academy) said five years after they conducted the first excavations in An Khe, scientists discovered the objects were similar to those found in Guangxi, China.
"The stone tools found are different to those in Europe," he said. "This proves our belief that the skill of cutting stone objects in An Khe was a domestic development. This area has a special cultural mark in Southeast Asia."
"Findings at An Khe have created a new direction for research on the beginning of Vietnamese history, at the same time putting Vietnam on the map of the human development in the early Stone Age," said Professor Nguyen Khac Su, from the Vietnam Archaeology Institute.
According to Nguyen Thi Thanh Lich, Secretary of the Party Committee of An Khe township, the local authorities would spare no efforts to support concerned agencies to preserve the site and develop tourism as well as serve research purposes in the future.
The unearthed objects have been displayed at An Khe township's museum.
"This international workshop aimed to officially announce findings at archaeological sites in An Khe over the past five years," said Professor Nguyen Gia Doi, Director of the Vietnam Archaeology Institute.
"The institute will take advantage of different opinions by domestic and international experts to examine the authenticity of An Khe history and compile a scientific dossier for the relic to seek State recognition as a National Relic Site as well as open other research at the site," he said.
Russian researcher Anatony Derevianko suggested offering local authorities a vision and strategy to develop archaeological values.
"With objects unearthed, An Khe can be considered one of the most ancient birthplaces of human beings," he said. "We will continue our research here if the two governments agree."

H-1B visa: Why Warren Buffett is bullish on immigrants
Buffett's statement could be a reality check for U.S. President Donald Trump's controversial efforts to cap work visas for foreign companies.ET Online | February 27, 2017, 17:55 IST
NEW DELHI: In his recent annual letter to shareholders, Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., mentioned "ambitious immigrants" for growth in the US.
"Americans have combined human ingenuity, a market system, a tide of talented and ambitious immigrants, and the rule of law to deliver abundance beyond any dreams of our forefathers," Buffett wrote in his letter which has become a mega event in the US over the years as shareholders wait to read nuggets of wisdom from Buffett who is a legend in investment circles.
Buffett's statement could be a reality check for US President Donald Trump's controversial efforts to cap work visas for foreign companies, mainly in the tech sector.
Indian IT companies, which will suffer greatly from Trump's curbs on H-1B visas, are in fact big contributors to the US economy in several ways.
The most obvious contribution is the Indians heading top tech firms. Google and Microsoft won't have Sunder Pichai and Satya Nadella had it not been for a liberal work visa regime.
Pichai and Nadella lead what Buffett calls "the tide of talented and ambitious immigrants" which includes dozens of Indians at top places in big American companies. A few of them are Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayan, PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi, MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga, GlobalFoundries CEO Sanjay Jha, NetApp CEO George Kurien and Harman International CEO Dinesh Paliwal.
When lauding immigrants, Buffett must be speaking from first-hand experience. His Berkshire Hathaway Insurance is headed by an immigrant and his faourite, Ajit Jain. Jain is seen as Buffett's successor at the holding company headed by Buffett.
Moreover, Indian IT companies fill the demand-supply gap in tech employment. Nasscom states that there would be a shortage of 230,000 advanced degree STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) workforce by 2018. Availability of computer professionals by 2022 will be very low. For a demand of 945,000 professional, only 500,000 will be available.
According to a 2015 Nasscom report, Indian information technology (IT) companies make huge contribution to the US economy. Here are the contributions the Nasscom report lists:
1. Jobs
Indian companies supported more than 410,000 jobs in the US These included 255,000 indirect and 156,000 direct jobs.
From 2011 to 2013, Indian companies invested $2 billion in the US.
3. Taxes
Indian companies paid more than $20 billion taxes in the US from 2011 to 2015.
4. Social contribution
Leading Indian tech firms touched more than 120,000 American lives through CSR activities from 2011 to 2013. These activities included providing sponsorships and mentoring programs; funding healthcare programs; donations for the welfare of the society; and capacity-building initiatives such as providing training programs and assisting in resume writing.
5. Intangible contributions
Other contributions such as fueling innovation, building efficiencies, reducing time-to-market and helping gain market share are difficult to quantify.
6. Wages
It's a myth that Foreign talent is being hired at lower salaries. Nasscom report says Indian tech industry pays equivalent wages to the U.S. nationals and foreign workers. In 2013, wages for a US national were $81,447 while those for a US visa holder were $81,022 plus $15,000 fees.

Mourinho wins seventh title with fourth club as Real wrestle back La Liga crown!!
Real Madrid clinched the La Liga title for the first time since 2008 after their 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
The win kept Madrid seven points ahead of Barcelona with two games to go, Barca's 4-1 win over Malaga earlier this evening merely delaying the celebrations of a 32nd title by a matter of hours.
Jose Mourinho becomes the third coach to win league titles in four different countries after triumphs with Porto, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
The success provides much relief for Los Blancos fans after their disappointing defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final.

The American Academy in Rome launched its Rome Prize in Musical Composition in 1921, a time in the United States of rapidly changing ideas about national identity, musical values, and the significance of international artistic exchange. Music and Musical Composition at the American Academy in Rome tells the story of this prestigious fellowship. Combining cultural analysis with historical and personal accounts of a century of musical life at the American Academy in Rome, the book offers new perspectives on a wide range of critical topics: patronage and urban culture, institutions and professional networks, musical aesthetics, American cultural diplomacy, and the maturation ofa concert-music repertory in the United States during the twentieth century.

We didn't simply restore Maddie's automobile. A recall is a discover sent by a automobile manufacturer to house owners of a car advising them that the car has or could have a serious defect that will compromise the safety of the automobile and that the service departments of that manufacturer's sellers will make any vital replacements or repairs freed from charge. Traffic info has changed an excellent deal over the previous few years, and that is largely because of the means firms are utilizing data. Now, as RIGHT HERE embraces using rich sensor knowledge from multiple automotive makers, we are starting to see the development of the subsequent era of visitors providers.
Want an answer related to collision repair or training program improvement? An off-highway version of cruise management that uses the ABS and traction control systems to independently manipulate a car's 4 brakes, which allows the motive force to descend steep and uneven terrain at a strolling pace extra effectively than the driving force can by utilizing a break pedal that controls all 4 brakes directly. VEHICLES continuously endeavour to offer a 'breathtaking' service to its client base, exceeding expectations and setting the benchmark for the rest of our industry to observe. AUTOMOBILES do not imagine in offering a 'customary service' to any of its clients, regardless of the volume or type of cargo that they're handling.
Need a solution associated to collision repair or training program growth? A touch prime sensor, usually dome-shaped, that measures the "solar load" on the car to help improve the accuracy of the automated climate control system. An electric autos or hybrid automobiles electrical motors capacity to do work, expressed by way of horsepower, torque or kilowatts. The world's main automobile manufacturers and suppliers have joined the Automotive Grade Linux Collaborative Challenge to assist the development of open supply software solutions for automotive functions.
The remaining driver of progress in world automotive sales is the overall positive macroeconomic development, together with the rise of the global shopper middle class. With established markets slowing in progress, however, growth will proceed to depend on emerging economies, significantly China, while product-mix differences will clarify completely different improvement of revenues.

Book Review: Changing Space, Changing City, WITS University Press
Published on: 24 Jun 2015
Johannesburg is brought to life in a new book that details how the city transformed itself to forge a new urban identity
Johannesburg is a regular feature on the list of "must-visit" cities and its residents fiercely defend it from critical Capetonians. Now a new book explores how and why the city has changed in the past 20 years.
Changing Space, Changing City: Johannesburg After Apartheid is published by Wits University Press and brings a range of data sets and statistics to life in telling the story of the city since 1994. Its authors explored the city's expanding, densifying economy; its growing, changing population; the change in its physical form; and its restructured governance to try and understand the City of Gold.
The 2011 census put Gauteng's population at 12.7 million, or about 24% of all South Africa's residents on about 1.4% of its surface area. One in 10 of Joburg's residents live in informal settlements, down from one in four in 1996. The authors found back-yard shacks had become an increasingly common form of informal housing. They accommodate more people than homes in Gauteng's informal settlements. The authors also found that only 2% of Gauteng's citizens lacked piped water and 96% had access to a flush toilet. They discovered that an average of 20% of household income is spent on transport.Changing Space, Changing City, overlays this and other data on to a series of maps and chapters that explore different elements of Gauteng and Joburg.
One of the authors, Philip Harrison, writes of Gauteng's economy: "Between 1996 and 2011 the Gross Value Added (GVA) of Johannesburg's economy expanded by 87.7% compared to a national increase of 61.8%. In South Africa the number of individuals with jobs increased by 43% compared with 79% for Johannesburg. As the economy expanded, so its structure continued to change. The transition from a mining to a manufacturing economy, and then to a service economy, was well over by the mid-1990s when South Africa entered the age of democracy. The major driver of this structural change was the cluster of industries in the finance, insurance, real estate and business services sector, which expanded its contribution to GVA and employment significantly."
The advent of democracy has also changed the city's demographics. "The demographic structure of the city shifted marginally between 1996 and 2011, with the gender distribution remaining almost evenly balanced at about 50.1% male and 49.9% female. The big change, however, was in terms of race," says the book."The African population is increasingly dominant, accounting for more than three-quarters of the total population by 2011. By contrast, there was a significant relative decline in the size of the white population.
"Among the smaller groupings, there was a significant proportional increase in the size of the population of Indian/Asian descent, driven mainly by a wave of in-migration from Asia, and a slight proportional decline in the size of the coloured population, which is not benefiting from in-migration."
This article originally appeared in City Press newspaper.


Kickboxer: Vengeance is not exactly the great follow-up to the 1989 classic but at least Jean-Claude Van Damme is back and his appearance alone might make it a worthwhile watch, but otherwise the film is filled with bad acting, terrible dialogue and even the fight sequences are uninspiring.
Deadpool takes a conventional plot and turns it into one of the more unconventional superhero, yet anti-superhero, movies to come out, going so far to make fun of the genre. That said, the villain is bland and forgettable and my second viewing wasn't as good as the first, though at the end of the day, it's still a vastly entertaining film.
Extraction is exactly what I thought it would be and so much less. It's yet another direct-to-video (or very limited release) from Bruce Willis who is not only somehow second billed in spite of making a cameo appearance but billed behind Kellan Lutz, tells you everything you need to know.
In the Blood has plenty of issues but with Gina Carano's fighting skills and being at least an adequate enough actress on par with 80s/90s versions of Jean-Claude Van Dam and Steven Seagal, has the potential to be a staple in the thin mindless action flicks if she picks the right scripts.
Anchor Bay and Twentieth Century Fox have announced the date and released artwork for the action-thriller, In the Blood starring Gina Carano, Cam Gigandet, Danny Trejo, Luis Guzman and Stephen Lang.
Haywire is one of those movies that should've been a lot more fun than it actually was. The action scenes are well done and the fight sequences are realistic and not overdone to the extreme that you often see in over-the-top Hollywood flicks. However, from the get-go, the movie never has that energy or drive that makes one care about any of these characters, made harder when the supporting cast is only in it for 10-15 minutes at a time.

What is Apache Hive? Website Branding Review
Website Brand Review of Apache Hive
While we've all heard about Apache Hadoop®, did you know there are over a dozen big data projects at Apache? We host projects that provide all the different functions your big data stack: databases, storage, streaming, logging, analysis, and more. Apache Hive™ is one of these pieces of the whole big data ecosystem.
Here's my quick review of the Apache Hive project, told purely from the point of view of a new user finding the project website.
What Is Apache Hive?
"The Apache Hive ™ data warehouse software facilitates querying and managing large datasets residing in distributed storage".
"Hive provides a mechanism to project structure onto this data and query the data using a SQL-like language called HiveQL. At the same time this language also allows traditional map/reduce programmers to plug in their custom mappers and reducers when it is inconvenient or inefficient to express this logic in HiveQL."
No, Really, What Is Apache Hive For?
Hive is built on top of Hadoop, so provides simple access to Hadoop functionality while making it easier to query or extract your data, as well as simpler ways to program analysis and mapreduce jobs. In particular, Hive provides the QL language, similar to SQL, that lets you perform your data operations and your mapreduce and analysis all together. QL can be extended with a variety of analysis functions, and can work on a variety of underlying data formats and backends, including custom ones.
Hive specializes in scalability, extensibility, and ease of programming access to both data and analysis. Use Hive for complex tasks you can run in a batch job, where you need fault-tolerance and ability to use various analysis and data formats at the same time.
New User Website Perceptions
That is, what does a new user see "above the fold" when first coming to the Apache Hive project homepage? For their first impression, is it easy to find things, and is the design appealing and easy to follow?
The homepage features a distinctive yellow striped stinging elephant logo, but otherwise features a fairly sparse overview and barely fills in the browser page. The navbar provides a categorized list of all the expected pages for Documentation, Community, Development, with well-named links for every major topic about contributing to the project. While there is a prominent link to Getting Started, the homepage itself really doesn't explain much more than that.
The navbar also links to the PMC Bylaws, Editing the Website, How To Release, and a great Becoming a Committer guide. These are important topics for more advanced contributors, which often are harder to find on many other sites. Most Hive content is on their wiki, which includes the logo and some basic navbars, but doesn't have an obvious direct way to navigate back and forth to different topic areas. The wiki content tends to be structured very hierarchically, so there are good outlines/tables of contents, and plenty of details, but not as much background information.
Apache Branding Requirements
Apache projects are expected to manage their own affairs, including making all technical and content decisions for their code and websites. However to ensure a small modicum of consistency – and to ensure users know that an Apache project is hosted at the ASF – there are a few requirements all Apache projects must include in their projectname.apache.org websites (or wikis, etc.)
Apache Hive is used fairly consistently, and is ™ attributed appropriately on top level pages.
Website navigation links (except **not** Security!) to ASF pages included in the site's navigation system.
Logo does not include TM; footers include a complete trademark attributions including noting other trademark owners.
DOAP file exists and includes appropriate description and links.
SEO / Search Hits / Related Sites
Well, SEO is far outside of our scope (and debatable in usefulness anyway), but it's interesting to see: how does a new user find the Apache Hive homepage when they were searching?
Searching for "Hive" (a common word, so we might expect a lot of other hits):
Top hits: varies – either unrelated hits, the project homepage or wikipedia page.
Searching for "Hive software":
Top hits are typically either homepage or wikipedia page. Several links to other software products named Hive show up as well; most are unrelated. There is a link to Hive on Sourceforge, "a Java software platform for creating distributed applications", not updated for a long time but listed with a GPL license.
Social Media Presence
The Hive project has some social media presence, but it's not featured obviously anywhere on the project website.
https://twitter.com/ApacheHive is the official feed, but not updated recently.
https://www.facebook.com/apache.hive/ is the official Facebook Page and linked from the homepage, with 3000 likes, but not updated for a long time.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/hive is active and includes an About and link to the project homepage.
There aren't any obvious LinkedIn or Google+ communities specifically about Hive, although with so many Hadoop-related communities, that's not surprising.
What Do You Think Apache Hive Is?
So, what do you think? Is Hive still a major player in providing an easier API for your big data batch jobs, or have you moved on? If you're not using Hive, are you instead using something newer for batch jobs, or are you focusing on streaming data now that Apache Spark and a wide variety of other tools can provide some of the same features, but faster?
Note: I'm writing here as an individual, not wearing any Apache hat. I hope this is useful both to new users and to the Apache Hive community, not necessarily a call to change anything. I haven't used Hive for any real deployments myself, so please do comment with corrections to anything I've messed up above!

Movie Review – Grabbers (2012)
2012's comedy-horror Grabbers is, I believe, Ireland's first ever monster movie. Directed by Jon Wright and written by Kevin Lehane, the film centers around an alcoholic cop and his new workaholic partner as the two battle alien sea creatures while, as is the way with such movies, recognizing a romance budding between them. They learn that the largely aquatic monsters, who need only water and blood to survive, are poisoned by the toxicity of alcohol in the blood-stream. They thus devise a plan to get the town shitfaced in a pub in order to survive a rain-drenched stormy night. Much of the comedy, naturally, revolves around the protagonists trying to function and defend themselves while fighting through the copious amounts of booze they've ingested.
Grabbers showcases stunning cinematography, capturing much of Ireland's natural beauty, and impressive CGI creature effects. The creature designs pay homage to the face-huggers in 1979's Alien. In terms of both tone and comedic set pieces, the film owes a lot to earlier movies of a similar vein, especially 1990's Tremors, but also 2004's Shaun of the Dead. If you enjoyed those two movies, Grabbers easily fits within that niche. The characters are colorful and the actors do a convincing job of acting drunk, having filmed themselves intoxicated and self-studied their own quirks before filming.
Grabbers is funny, though not hilarious and while it's got some great creature moments, it's not particularly scary. Over all, the film rides a comfortable line between humor and horror but as I watched I kept hoping that it would stray further into either territory to really give me something to remember. It never does, and while it's a thoroughly enjoyable film there's not enough there to distinguish it to make it truly remarkable. Grabbers is still worth seeking out and perhaps even viewing with some friends and copious amounts of alcohol.

HUMV – Vented Hump - The front face of the hump also serves as a large air-scoop. This is constructed to flow air into the garment for ventilation and cooling. There is a 1000 denier nylon cordura mesh safety screen to allow air flow into the hump. Once the airflow has been scooped and channeled it passes through another 1000 denier nylon cordura safety vent built into the inner back of the garment.
Both the HUMP and the HUMV may be ordered with a Radio Cavity – order extra HUMR or a Camel back water bag – order extra HUMW.
Use of a Hump has been shown to increase the turbulence behind the rider making drafting by another rider more difficult.

Abusing DMCA and other frivolous litigation (SunnComm)
October 9, 2003 7:44pm by Barry Ritholtz
I just came across the story of Alex Halderman, the Princeton University grad student, who had discovered that SunnComm's copy protection, MediaMax CD-3 software, could be easily blocked by pressing the shift key over at Prof Dave Farber's Interesting People. Attorney and Censorware Project cofounder James S. Tyre posted:
"I'm sure you'll both agree that Alex should be criticized roundly for analyzing only the currently existent technology while utterly failing to laud SunnComm for future improvements that it says it will make.
Amusing tho that was, what really caught my eye was his comments that:
Earlier this week, each of you [Prof Farber & C/Net's Declan McCullagh] had items about Princeton grad student Alex Halderman's report on SunnComm's MediaMax CD3 copy protection technology. Subsequently, SunnComm's stock price has dropped precipitously, and today, SunnComm announced that it will pursue legal action against Halderman
That phrase, "Subsequently, SunnComm's stock price has dropped precipitously" made me curious. So I did a little homework: Having no previous knowledge of SunnComm or its stock, I pulled up a chart of the company's historical stock performance. I also looked up what I could on its website.
I assumed most people were not aware of some of the specifics of SunnComm (self-described as an OTC stock), prior to the Princeton grad student's paper kicking up a stir. SunnComm (STEH) is what's known as a "penny" stock — it trades on the pink sheets, which has about as lax reporting requirements as is possible. Indeed, even SunnComm's own Website has a "we're on the pink sheets" disclaimer.
For nearly all of the prior 3 years, SunnComm traded under 1/4; In fact, it was under a dime for most of that period. See chart at Yahoo Finance or BigCharts (When looking at the 3 year chart on other websites, ignore the temporary spikes from a dime up straight to 90 cents and back. These sort of blips typically reflect trading errors, i.e. 90 cents instead of 9 cents).
I put a much better displayed, 3 year weekly chart from ILX below. Note that in early 1999, the stock hit $2.50, but subsequently slid to about 30 cents later in the year.
But let's look at the recent activity, especially since the announcements about the copy protection were released. Starting in May 2003, the stock zoomed from 10 cents up to 40 cents. (The stock was under a nickel as late as April 24th); The subsequent "precipitous" drop was nothing more than the stock dropping back to its prior trading range — back under a dime.
double click for bigger chart
Source: ILX
What's so curious about this move in May 2003 is that it occurred in the middle of a long news blackout. That aroused my curiosity, and makes, in my opinion, the activity in this pink sheet stock suspect. So I went back and looked at all the news releases this year. Because there appears that there were no offical news released between April 4th 2003 ("Tattoo Media joins forces with SunnComm Technologies") and June 2, 2003. (Macrovision, SunnComm Race To Protect Music From Pirates) that could explain the stock's thrust upwards.
I did, however, notice that sometime in August, the company announced a 2 Million Share buyback. Why a microcap pink sheet company feels the need to buy back stock, I couldn't possibly tell you.
But if I was advising the Princeton student, I would suggest the first thing he do is have his lawyer find out if any insiders, officers, board members, or major shareholders did any buying during that period.
If any purchases were made in anticipation of material non public information, than who ever did so has much bigger problems than some grad student's paper . . .

In 2002,the following question and answer was placed on SunnComms AskThePrez web page.
http://www.sunncomm.com/asktheprez/asktheprez.asp
I am reproducing the exact post below. It is from a copy I made at the time. It differs in three respectsfrom the Q&A currently at the above URL (2nd last question from the end).
1)Because of the way I saved it some formating attributed have been lost
2) The Microsoft person responding is Ken Fagan, instead of Ken Cavallon (this I will get to) and
3) SunnComm subsequently added dates to the Q & As.
Q: You said our relationship with Microsoft is a matter of record.Everyone buying a msft produuct has the same relationship and record. What makes ours different than the millions of current msft buyers.Do we have any revenue producing products currently bringing in revenues. How are we financing our business?We have approximately two weeks until the audit is completed by your words. Is that the time frame that we can go by.Are we in serious negotiations with any potential contraxct customers?Whatever happened to the european deals that were supposed to take place in Dec, Jan Feb Mar etc….Thanks for your answers.
A: Dear Mr. Hall,
I asked Microsoft to email me and tell me what they think of our relationship. Below please find a verbatim reply to your question. Because of its length Ill endeavor to answer your additional questions in subsequent responses.

>Subject: The Microsoft and SunnComm Relationship
Dear Peter;
Lately I have been getting inquiries from partners and the marketplace in general as to the quality and depth of the relationship between our companies and I want to take a moment to give some clarification.
SunnComms relationship with Microsoft is multi-faceted. Microsoft is committed to helping you and your people succeed in getting to market with your digital content copy protection technology. To this end we have focused support, people, technology and financial resources specifically on SunnComm. These resources include peopl e throughout the company with the heaviest concentration in our Digital Media Division (DMD).Within the DMD, Christina Calio, Business Development Manager, is specifically goaled on go to market strategies with partners including SunnComm. John Paddleford, Lead Program Manager heads a team that has been focused on creating technologies and extending the Windows Digital Media Platform for SunnComm, enabling you to create a more tightly integrated solution with our Digital Rights Management technologies. It is our hope that we have proven our commitment to you as a partner.
Additionally, we have marketing and PR people (Jennifer Baisch and Erin Cullen respectively) goaled on helping to partner better with SunnComm. Christina Calio has committed Business Investment Funds (BIF) to help you with your go to market strategies on multiple fronts. The efforts that the Digital Media Division are putting forth on your behalf go to the highest ranks within the group and are clearly on the radar of the divisions Corporate Vice President, Will Poole. You met Will on your recent trip to Washington DC when you each provided testimony in front of the House of Representatives.
SunnComm is one of a very limited number of partners admitted to the JDP for our next generation of Windows Media Player codenamed "Corona". We think SunnComm is uniquely qualified so we have been happy to provide you with the earliest releases of the new player, development documentation and technical development assistance. Also, we are looking forward to your unique development of a "Secure Burn Plug-In" using your MediaMaker technology for the new player. This is a solution that we believe the marketplace will respond favorably to and will be truly the first of its kind.Thank you for your efforts in furthering the Windo ws Media Platform, we here at Microsoft are excited about SunnComms recent breakthroughs and are looking forward to an excellent fall launch of each of our respective digital media solutions.
If you receive any additional inquiries as to the nature of our relationship, please feel free to send them my way and I will ensure that they are connected with the appropriate people within our company.Ken Fagan Engagement Manager Microsoft Services for ISV Partners*

What was most striking about this e-mail from Microsoft is that companies simply do not write such public tributes to each other. It was immediately suspicious from that respect. Then someone recalled the name Ken Fagan. It turned out that this Mr Fagan had a private contract with SunnComm, the terms of which was in their SEC filing, later withdrawn.
On August 18, 2000, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Kenneth W. Fagan, whereby Mr. Fagan agreed to act as Special Advisor to the board ofdirectors and a corporate consultant. The term of the agreement is one (1)year. We paid Mr. Fagan an initial payment of $2,500 upon the execution of the agreement. We also agreed to pay Mr. Fagan $2,000 per month during the term,along with 250,000 restricted shares of the Company's common stock upon theexecution of the agreement. Mr. Fagan has a right to earn up to 750,000 options at an exercise price of .22as follows: 34% to be issued upon the signing ofthree (3) licensing agreements with major software vendors ($25,000000 + inrevenues) delivered by Mr. Fagan, and 66% to be issued upon the signing of alicensing agreement with a large independent software vendor (such as Oracle,Microsoft, etc.) delivered by Mr. Fagan. See Exhibit 10.17 for a copy of theConsulting Agreement.
http://www.secinfo.com/d1157k.43b.htm
Further details of the contract are in the exhibit at that link.Considering that contract required him to sign a license agreement with Microsoft,of which he was an employee at the time, that was an obvious conflict of interest.
What's more. Fagan had been writing messages on SunnComm'sboard on Raging Bull, urging people to buy the stock of SunnComm (without disclosing his relationship to that company).
This is an example, but unfortunately the link doesn't work anymore:
BUY BUY BUY!!! This could be a $30B Company (that's right, a B!) in a matter of months!!!
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=SUNX&read=533
Someone wrote on the Raging Bull board that they were going to inform the SEC about this and also Microsoft. A poster wrote to Ken Fagan at Microsoft asking for an explanation. None was forthcoming, but he mentioned he had a new e-mail address because he had in the meantime changed his name to Ken Cavallon. The reason he gave for doing so is in a post he made on Raging Bull (that actually works):
And yes, I did change my name on August 1st, 2002. Wouldn't you if your name was FAGan and you could? (My kids were sick of getting teased and I was sick of re-living it! So we took my mother's maiden name!)
http://ragingbull.lycos.com/mboard/boards.cgi?board=STEH&read=35524
(Note: his pumping on Raging Bull was under a different ID, but he identified himself as Ken Fagan and an employee of Microsoft).
Although this was reported to Microsoft, I am not aware whether they took any action. However, that note was used to pump SunnComm's stock at the time.

SunnComm accused Halderman of wrongdoing for exposing their weak copy protection. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Is SunnComm without sin?
In December 2000, SunnComm announced a $20M deal with Will-Shown, who they described as a major Pacific Rim CD Manufacturer.
SunnComm Inks $20+ Million Copy Protection Deal With Major Pacific Rim CD Manufacturer
http://cdmediaworld.com/hardware/cdrom/news/0012/sunncomm_cd_protect.shtml
People are asking who is the Will-Shown Technology Company. Why would a CD manufacturer license copy protection? It is not a record label. Why would it commit so much to an untested product by a penny stock with no track record? How could a major Pacific Rim CD manufacturer not have a web site? How come it is not even mentioned on the web by anyone else? The stock price tripled in the days after the announcement. Who can find Will-Shown and clear up the mystery? A major Pacific Rim CD Manufacturer couldn't just vanish like that, could it?
SunnComm was previously named Desert Winds Entertainment. The SEC found a little problem with them: http://www.sec.gov/litigation/complaints/complr17462.htm
Paloma appointed Jacobs as president and Jacobs, who accused Halderman of wrong doing, was the person responsible for the Will-Shown press release.

K. Sutcliff commented on Oct 23
This is intriguing. A couple of entries back in the post about a Microsoft e-mail, there is a link to an sec filing by SunnComm that they withdrew later.
I've been perusing that and have made an interesting find. They have been deceptive in their statements about having the first copy protected CD in the US. In all their recent press release, you will see this statement (example from most recent PR): "SunnComm's copy-management technology was commercially released by Music City records in 2001, which became America's first copy-protected audio CD."
http://www.sunncomm.com/press/pressrelease.asp?prid=200310101150
But this is in that SEC filing:
"On or about April 17, 2001, pursuant to a license agreement between the Company and Fahrenheit Entertainment, Inc. (see "Contracts" below), Music City Records will commercially release the latest CD by country music recording legend Charley Pride incorporating MediaCloQ(tm)."
Then a bit further down …
"On December 1, 2000, we entered into a one-year license agreement with Fahrenheit Entertainment, Inc., ("Fahrenheit") an independent record label, granting Fahrenheit a royalty-free, nonexclusive, nontransferable worldwide license to incorporate MediaCloQ(tm) into its products. In exchange, Fahrenheit has agreed to act as a technology partner during the term of the agreement. Fahrenheit must ship 25,000 CD units per month. See Exhibit 10.06. On or about April 17, 2001, pursuant to this license and in coordination with Fahrenheit, Music City Records shall commercially release the latest CD by country music recording legend Charley Pride entitled "A Tribute to Jim Reeves", which incorporates MediaCloQ(tm). This agreement does not pay any royalties to us."
So if one assumes "commercially released" means it is paid for, it is the CD that was commercially released, but the technology was not commercially released. There were no royalties charged. Yet, the PRs deceptively try to attribute the "commercially released" description to the technology and not to the CD. Again, from the pr: "SunnComm's copy-management technology was commercially released by Music City records in 2001".
So for all practical purposes, this was just a test release of the product, and is not different to the other CDs that had been commercially released in the US before it by others, with test versions of copy protection products. What's more, Fahrenheit only issued that one CD and never followed through with the 25K p.m. committment.

What we do in ministry flows from one place: God's Word. It's in the Scriptures that we take our philosophy for life and ministry.

We believe in one God, Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who is eternally existent in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, His death to pay the penalty for everyone's sins, His bodily resurrection, His exaltation at God's right hand, and His personal, imminent, pretribulational and pre-millennial return.
We believe that all have sinned and are therefore guilty before God and are under His condemnation.

We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and unjust, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in Glory and the everlasting conscious punishment of the lost in hell.
We believe that from the beginning with Adam and Eve, God ordained marriage as only between one man and one woman. All sexual activity outside of this biblical definition of marriage, including homosexual practices, is in direct contradiction to God's Word and His intention for the institution of the home.
