In the recently posted "The World Runs on VMware vSphere" infographic, WiredCPU.com shows how just in the last 10 years (2001-2011) we have gone from virtually NO server virtualization in use to more than 50 percent of the servers in the world being virtualized (and over 20 million vSphere virtual machines running every day). It is truly amazing but you also have to consider how, when it comes to it, virtualization changes everything. It changes backup, recovery, provisioning, inventory, budgeting, administration, support and, yes, disaster recovery.
It is possible to use traditional backup applications and traditional disaster recovery procedures with virtualization, BUT, it is highly inefficient. Virtualization not only provides the traditional list of benefits but it makes disaster recovery effortless compared to what it was before.
I worked at a company that, originally, didn't have a disaster recovery plan other than "somehow, someway, we'll restore those backups that we took offsite to Bob's house last week." At that time, with few resources and no planning in place, we didn't stand a chance if we ran into a real disaster. Over time, we created a redundant datacenter that sat with some servers in it that just had the OS. We developed binders of procedures on how to restore our backups onto those servers. Eventually, we tested it with real users and it worked -- but it was all a very delicate "house of cards."
Today, virtualization disaster recovery solutions can change all that. They can replicate just the virtual machines that are most critical. They can sync only the changed blocks across the WAN to the DR site. They can even automatically plan and script a disaster recovery plan so that it can all occur at the push of a button. No longer will every application replication scenario require expensive SAN at each site with replication licenses and tons of bandwidth. These new virtualization DR solutions have realistic, easy to implement, and affordable options for every company.
Tomorrow, July 20, I'll be keynoting a Disaster Recovery in VMware Environments webinar with three vendors: Virtacore/PHD Technologies, Zerto and Veeam. You'll learn my take on virtualization disaster recovery as well as understand how these companies can help to make disaster recovery of your virtual infrastructure easy. Here's all the info you need to know about the webinar (and if you can't attend it live, don't worry, it will all be recorded for later playback). I hope that you'll join me!

Another defendant charged in the death of a northeast Nebraska man has been sentenced to prison.
32-year-old Jenna Merrill was sentenced in Cuming County District Court to two years in prison for accessory to a felony.
The charge stems from the death of 64-year-old Ernest Warnock whose body was found March 11th of 2017 in the burned rubble of his home near Rosalie.
Warnock had been fatally stabbed.
Merrill was given credit for 451 days served in jail for the crime.
Derek Olson will stand trial for murder, arson and other charges in the case on March 11th.
His father, Jody Olson, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the case last December.
Another defendant, 42-year-old Becky Weitzenkamp, was sentenced to 18 to 20 years for being an accessory to a felony last October.


It's a birthday party with a great double bill, just $20! Austin's own KOOP Radio is celebrating its 23rd birthday with our annual benefit, a concert celebrating independent listener-supported radio, and we're doing it with two great bands: Tomar and the FCs and the legendary Bubble Puppy!
Tomar and the FCs are one of Austin's fastest rising bands, a high-energy soulful unit with a Sam Cooke spirit and a James Brown passion. Just ask anyone who saw them at this year's Austin City Limits Festival!
Bubble Puppy's "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" was cool enough a psychedelic rock and roll hit that it even caught the attention of George Harrison, who wanted to get it out on the Beatles' Apple label. It did just fine anyway, rocking its way into music history. That song was just the beginning for this legendary Texas band.
And KOOP Radio is your community radio station, the only cooperative of its kind in the country, programmed by volunteers and providing a wide array of musical programs and news/information programs. This important community resource needs your support to keep it going. Here's a gloriously fun way to support KOOP!


Day 2 MELT and Nourish With Yoga Challenge!
Today's map included some shin work!
I love to work here when my Plantar fascia becomes aggravated. I work on my squatting, not squats, but on squatting positions instead of sitting in a chair or on the couch.
I use my MELT half roller under my heels to slowly encourage those lines to open, but sometimes I push it a bit too much then, I have to baby it for a few days. This move always helps!
Day 2 of #nourishwithyoga is #chaturangadandasana –#fourlimbedstaffpose. I use the MELT roller to assist my form. I work on keeping my shoulder girdle aligned and slowly decrease my weight on the roller.
I love the power words have to inspire our hearts, minds, and souls. Today, I'm inspired by these lovely words and the bright soul who wrote them , love her!! Love and Light!

What does a software developer do?
Code Institute's goal is to close the Software Development skills gap within the tech industry. We are fully aware of what's on offer out there, and as a result of our research, we reckon that there has never been a better time for career changing and to learn to code. But, what does a software developer do?
Wikipedia describes a software developer as, "a person concerned with facets of the software development process, including the research, design, programming, and testing of computer software."
So, what does a software developer do? Well, these are the people that design the computer programs and operating systems for many of the things that we do and use each and every day. These are the people who design and create the computer games we play, the websites we visit, the apps we order dinner off. A developer will talk to the stakeholders (customers, businesses, etc) and identify problems and wants. A developer will try to understand the problem. Solve the problem. And model a solution. Then, after approval, they will build lines of code to solve these issues. Beyond that, a coder will design the front end look and feel of that product, while the same coder, or one who's stronger at the back end stuff, will create the behind the scenes back end.
To be honest, though, this is simplifying things. Above, I answered generally what a software developer does. However, if you were to ask what a coder CAN DO, well, then the possibilities are limitless. However, it all depends on how much a developer is willing to put into themselves.
Potentially, what CAN a software developer do?
If you're a coder, and if you open your potential, there's so much more you can do. Trust me, this list is endless! Coders write the lines necessary for the tech inside many of the cars we drive. They write code that enables the design of autonomous driving to become a reality. Their expertise creates the code that is behind Artificial Intelligence. It's their insights that produce the lines of code that help build the capabilities of the medical equipment. It's lines of code that enables us to be entertained in new and exciting ways.
To put it frankly, technology is pretty much everywhere you look. It's unavoidable and most items around us today require lines and lines of code. Like it or not, the internet runs a lot of what goes on around us. It now connects our infrastructures. This is where the concept of IoT comes in.
IoT? Internet of Things.
This is the concept where everything around us is connected. To use an anecdote from one of my colleagues, IoT is where you get out of bed when the alarm sounds. The alarm sends a message to your shower and turns it on. When you switch the off button on the shower, a message is sent to your coffee machine downstairs. You get downstairs and your Americano is ready. You finish your coffee and put it back on the plate, a message goes to your car where it then starts air conditioning itself. This sends another message to your garage door. The door opens. You drive out. The GPS sends a message to your garage door. It closes. Your car, which knows your going to work, takes you there…. and on it goes.
In today's world, the roles that I have included above, do not even come close to the tip of the iceberg. In a nutshell, people who code are told what's needed and create a usable solution. Coders are in a position to contribute to making our day to day lives more efficient. This may scare some people because sometimes that means further automation within industries.
However, this is not a new thing. Roles change with time. As some roles become obsolete, people find new roles to enhance the world around us. People adapt, improve, and contribute more.
Yes, the potential for people who know how to code is huge. If a coder has flair and vision, what they can contribute is awesome. So, what does a software developer do? Plenty, but with the right amount of imagination these coders can do so much more.

Many otherwise great holidays have been tarnished by transport nightmares.
Whether it be the anxiety-ridden experience of driving on the 'wrong' side of the road, the overly-demonstrative nature of a particular country's drivers or the hell of standing for an hours bus ride in 40 degree heat while conversing with a man who appears to be having a psychotic episode, holiday transport exploits can make or break a vacation.
To avoid all this potential heartache, it can be wise, and a bit more expensive, to book accommodation that does not require you to travel.
Eger has a lot of centrally located accommodation but it is difficult to sort the good from the bad.
We have had a lot of experience with hotels and guesthouses in the Eger area and as a result can share with you what we think are the best central hotels in Eger in terms of value, service and facilities.
Please note that there is no particular order to this list i.e. the first is not superior to the second and so on.
Click on the photos to learn more about each individual hotel .If you have any further questions about the hotels listed, do not hesitate to get in touch via our contact us form.
Although not the most beautiful hotel in the world, the Estella is centrally located, good value for money and staffed by a young and eager-to-please crowd.
Opposite the northernmost architectural reminder of the 16th century Ottoman Empire, this hotel has recently had a complete refurbishment bringing it up to the standards expected of a modern hotel.
Two hotels in one, the Korona is a particularly good choice for visitors interested in Eger's wine culture: it has its own cellar which houses Hungary's National Wine Museum.
The most highly-regarded and popular of Eger's guesthouses, perhaps because of its unrivalled location and 'olde worlde' allure.
Afrodite Apartment House is on Dobo Utca, right under the castle,and has super friendly staff.
This centrally located guesthouse is opposite the Afrodité (above) and is run by a husband and wife team who have always proved very helpful, they have private and secure parking facilities in the centre of the town - not to be sniffed at.
The restaurant in this place was awarded a spot in the list of the top 12 eateries in Hungary, the apartments are quite good too.
A touch characterless but with an unbeatable location, the Szent Janos is a good option for those without their own transport.

Last month, I submitted a proposal to present a research paper on technical communications and rhetoric and it was accepted. The conference was in Albuquerque, New Mexico and would be my first academic conference as either an attendee or presenter. I wanted to recap my experience and provide some answers to questions that I had going into the conference. For those who read this and want to determine if their situation is similar to mine, here is a brief summary of my background as it relates to my attendance at the conference.
As I would discover, navigating an academic conference is quite different from a professional conference. Anticipating this, the conference website provided an FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for first-time presenters, FAQs and Tips for Presenters. Of course, many details that I found to be quite significant for my experience are not on this FAQ, and that is the reason for this post. Furthermore, this experience draws so many questions that it has its own Wikipedia entry as well.
Some people submit abstracts on completed papers or research that they have presented before. In my case, I had done the research and written on aspects of my topic in different places, but I had not completed a final draft of my paper before I submitted my abstract. Therefore, after I submitted my abstract (December 15, 2011) and between the time it was accepted (January 2, 2012) and the date of my presentation (February 10, 2012), I had to complete my research paper.
The logistical preparation for the presentation itself was second priority to completing my paper, and as such, I left the details such as travel and presentation format until later. Suffice it to say, that for the next month I was working every day on my paper in some context. This approach, however, may not have been the best, as I will discuss next.
I finished my paper the week before I was to fly to Albuquerque (I did manage to find time to book my flight and hotel).
Something to note about travel expenses: As a graduate student, my university offered some travel assistance for students attending and presenting at an academic conference. I encourage other graduate students to inquire with their Graduate School and their home department for possible travel reimbursement funds.
The final word count was 6000+ words (this number is important). As an "introduction" to my research, I was proud of the paper and thought that from start to finish, it presented my research to date relatively well.
I arrived at the Albuquerque airport Wednesday night and I was scheduled to present Friday morning at 8 a.m. The conference registration desk was closed by the time I arrived at the hotel and even though there were some panels still presenting, I went straight to my room to unpack. Since the time I arrived at the airport, I had been following the #hashtag for the conference. As I will discuss below, this is an integral part of attending a conference.
For the rest of Wednesday night I worked on some last-minute edits, ate, and went to bed. I could not attend any of the early Thursday morning panels because I was working remotely from the hotel this trip. I did continue to follow the conference #hashtag so I could keep up with the happenings. Another conference attendee/presenter was actively posting using the #hashtag and I used this opportunity to network. I kept 'in touch' with the conference (even though I had not even checked-in yet) through Twitter.
That evening, once I realized that I had eaten alone for each meal the past two days, I turned to Twitter once more and extended an invitation to other attendees for dinner. Two people accepted and we met at a restaurant that the conference keynote speaker had recommended (using the #hashtag) the night before. It was great meeting these two because they both had conference experience and were able to offer me much needed advice. Not to mention that eating alone is not any fun when visiting a new city. The networking and connections you make at conferences can be some of the most important aspects of attending a conference.
My new friends shared their experiences regarding presentation formats and how they had seen everything from movies, PowerPoint slideshows, and straight readings. I had determined by this point that I would be reading my paper verbatim. The time limit for each presenter in my session was 20 minutes. I had tried to determine what 20 minutes translated to in word count, but the Internet let me down for once. After timing myself read my paper, I found that I was at 25 minutes. I needed to cut 5 minutes from my paper. But how can I cut 'time' from a completed research paper?
I started to go through and cross out quotes that added to an already presented argument, examples that would have to wait, and other information that was not pertinent to presenting an idea. Then I timed and reread. I did this 4 times until I was under 20 minutes (19:52 was the last). To save you the trouble of finding a paper/reading/word count calculator on the Internet, I had to cut my paper to 3,892 words to be under 20 minutes. Of course, this drastically altered my research paper, but this is how one presents at an academic conference.
Below is a picture of the room I would be presenting in.
I was the first panel of the day (8:00 a.m.), so of course no one was there yet. There is not much to report though, as I have alluded in this post, the actual presentation was uneventful. I read my paper, the other panelists gave their PowerPoint, and we left. In my panel, as I heard was also the case in other panels, the different presenters seemed to be a random conglomerate of paper/topics whose only similarities appeared to be similar key words present in their titles.
I found out that for the most part, the information you present at an academic conference does not matter so much as the people that you meet. The best discussions about my topic, and others, came away from the conference altogether, at dinners, or after attending the reading of an interesting paper. It is definitely true what is said about the power and value of networking, and I came away from this experience with several new contacts who share many of the same passions that I have and with whom I will continue to interact.
I do not know if my experience is typical of other academic conferences, but from what I heard when discussing this topic with others from the conference, it is. This is not to say that attending or presenting at an academic conference is without merit—it forced me to prepare a solid research paper and really narrow the argument I was trying to make. Ultimately, it is the intangible benefits of the people you meet that make the whole experience worthwhile and for this reason, I would do it again.

Hi, Fer, thanks for sharing. I've attended academic conferences (and even presented at one) years ago. These days, I'm into professional conferences.
I can totally relate to your experiences, from the frustrating cutting of one's paper to meet the time limit to the irritating combination of unrelated papers into a panel to the valuable intangibles. So I think your post will be helpful for readers looking to present at either type of conference.
One thing I would emphasize and recommend is this: If at all possible, arrive at the conference with your paper ready to go. You will get much more out of the conference, from intangible networking and from attending other panels. And it will make your own presentation better when you've had time to get "in sync" with the conference, the attendees and the general vibe, whether it feels like a community or competitive.
P.S. Two small errors seem to have creeped in: Your abstract deadline was in 2011, not 2012; "For the rest of Thursday night" was probably Wednesday night.
Yes, and I agree and suggest that others arrive at the conference with a finished paper. I was not informed of the conference until after the deadline for abstracts was already extended, so I was definitely at a disadvantage. I had planned to finish but knew, because of the breadth of my work, that it would be close. I have fixed the anachronisms in my post–I wrote that while waiting for my flight at the airport in New Mexico and after four sleepness nights, I'm not surpised that some dates and times came out wrong. Thanks for the advice; I found that the advice given was the most valuable information I received.
Hi – I just found your blog today. I am presenting for the first time at a conference in early June and am just beginning to pare down my paper to manage my material in 20 minutes. I completed an MA last year, so the paper's been accepted and is complete. We had classmates whose work was accepted in the first year and the stress to get their research into manageable form for a conference was considerable. You've provided a very valuable tip re: the word count. I have not come across that anywhere else. Thank you – that gives me a good guideline to go by.
I like your blog as I've done a little technical writing too. Good luck with the remainder of your course work.
I've presented before but completed a search to see if someone commented on the particular conference that I was to attend this time around. I didn't find anything but did find this! Thanks! You really confirmed what others have said; that attending is more about who you meet. See, I really didn't feel like preparing or attending…my conference is tomorrow! But this sharing helped so much. Thanks!
Internet search is an amazing thing; I'm glad this post still has legs after all these years.

Why pay alimony?
On behalf of Butler Giraudo & Meister posted in Spousal Support on Friday, March 17, 2017.
Marriage entails sacrifices on the part of both spouses, and this may lead to one of them giving up a professional career and economic independence to care for their children. Divorce leaves both affected spousal parties in a state of uneven economic status. To balance this out, one ex-spouse may be asked to pay a certain amount of alimony to the other.
The decision of a fixed sum to be paid as alimony is determined by the court, and can vary in amount based on a number of factors. The age, physical condition, emotional state and finances of both spouses are taken into account. The length of time needed for the spouse to complete an educational degree and get a job is also a factor.
Other points that are considered include the standard of living during the marriage for the couple, length of time during which the ex-spouses were together and the ability of a spouse to support the other and still have money for his or her own needs. If a spouse proves unwilling to pay the alimony, he or she can be brought before the court and held in contempt. This can result in the ex-spouse getting jailed or imposed with a heavy fine. The period during which alimony must be paid depends on how soon the spouse receiving alimony can become self-sufficient.
Even after the alimony payer dies, the ex-spouse can still receive alimony in the form of proceeds from the sale of the deceased's property. In the past, having to pay alimony was seen as a duty of the ex-husband towards the ex-wife. With an increasing number of female professionals, however, today women are just as likely to have to pay alimony as men.

Q: How to remove an entity without loading its contents? I have a service with a removeById operation whose goal is to remove an entity from the repository. As I don't want to fetch the contents of the entity before it gets removed, I use getReference() instead of find() to obtain the entity.
An entity named 'MyObject' has a @ManyToOne association with an entity named 'MySource', and the fetch type is set to LAZY.
When I get a reference to an instance of 'MyObject' and I remove that instance from the DB, both 'MyObject' and 'MySource' get hydrated first before the instance is removed.
Sample code:
@Entity
public class MyObject {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private long id;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    private final MySource source;

    public MyObject(MySource source) {
        this.source = source;
    }

    protected MyObject() {
        this.source = null;
    }

    public long id() {
        return this.id;
    }

    public MySource source() {
        return this.source;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        boolean equals = this == obj;

        if (!equals && obj instanceof MyObject) {
            MyObject other = (MyObject) obj;
            equals = other.id() == id;
        }

        return equals;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return (int) id % 16;
    }

}

@Entity
public class MySource {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private long id;

    public MySource(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    protected MySource() {
        this.name = "";
    }

    @Column
    private final String name;

    public long id() {
        return id;
    }

    public String name() {
        return this.name;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        boolean equals = this == obj;

        if (!equals && obj instanceof MySource) {
            MySource other = (MySource) obj;
            equals = other.id() == id;
        }

        return equals;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return (int) id % 16;
    }

}

public void removeById(long id) {
    em.getTransaction().begin();
    MyObject myObjectRef = em.getReference(MyObject.class, id);
    em.remove(myObjectRef);
    em.getTransaction().commit();
    em.clear();
}

When the transaction is committed, I can see the following queries:

*

*SELECT ID, SOURCE_ID FROM MYOBJECT WHERE (ID = ?)

*SELECT ID, NAME FROM MYSOURCE WHERE (ID = ?)

*DELETE FROM MYOBJECT WHERE (ID = ?)

And more surprisingly, if I change the fetch type from LAZY to EAGER in the 'MyObject' -> 'MySource' association, then I obtain:

*

*DELETE FROM MYOBJECT WHERE (ID = ?)

This time the proxies are not hydrated.
What's wrong with LAZY loading when a proxy is used to remove an entity? And why the proxies are not hydrated when the fetch type is set to EAGER?
Did I miss something, or am I facing some bug in EclipseLink?
(EclipseLink 2.6.4 + static weaving on Java 8 SE).
Additional note
I think that the proxies are hydrated too eagerly. For instance, a statement like this.someAssociatedEntity = other.someAssociatedEntity issues a SELECT to fetch that associated entity, despite the fact that the association is annotated with a LAZY fetch type.
I would expect that a SELECT occurs only when the fields of the associated entity are accessed.
For debug purpose:
Stack trace when the MySource table is deleted just before the 'MyObject' entity is removed:
Error Code: 0
Call: SELECT ID, NAME FROM MYSOURCE WHERE (ID = ?)
    bind => [1]

I got a request from a nice local lady to put a crochet edge on her fleece blankets. She just wanted something simple, but cute. This is what I came up with!
When she came to pick it up, she loved it so much that she gave me three MORE blankets to do!
They all looked so cute with the same variegated yarn, it matched all three fabrics perfectly!
Create a foundation row through the blanket. I did (sc, ch1) all the way around. You can add more chains depending on how close you want your blanket stitches to be. sl st with first ch.
Ch 1 and sc in same st. 1sc in next 2 sts, *ch 3, sk 2, 1 sc in next 5 sts, repeat from * around. sl st with first sc. Ending this row can be difficult because you never really know how many stitches you made around the entire blanket. What I found to be effective is, once you get to the last 15 or so stitches, see how close you are to making the join perfectly even (that is, having the pattern of 5sc, sk 2, finish off evenly), and if you need to make some adjustments, the best one I found is to do 4sc instead of 5sc for as many of those 5sc groups it takes to work out evenly.
ch 1 and sc in same st. *7 dc in ch3-space, sk 2 sc, 1sc in next st (this should be the middle of the 5sc), repeat from * around. Fasten off. If you had to make some 4sc instead of 5sc groups, just alternate placing the 1sc in the 2nd and 3rd sc of the 5sc group. It should look fine!
Looks great! I've always wanted to try adding crocheted edging through fabric but have no idea how to start! What size hook/yarn did you use? Is it hard to space the stitches?
I actually used a size B hook with size 3 yarn. I probably could have used a larger hook, like an E, but the B hook fit perfectly through the fabric without creating any damage.
I tried to be sure to keep my stitches semi-close, because that way it was easier to tell if they were off without having to look at it from far away. Working in fleece made it really easy to put the stitches wherever I wanted.
So u crocheted directly into the fabric with the foundation row? No need to do a blanket stitch?

Boston's strong community spirit in recovering from last year's floods was celebrated on the one-year anniversary on Friday.
Residents are still being urged to sign up for free flood warnings however, as the authorities said 36 per cent of people in the town's central wards cannot currently be reached in an emergency.
Friday saw flood-hit traders launch Wormgate Bites Back – with free bacon butties dished out from Blenkin Memorial Hall, where afternoon tea was later served.
At the Stump, where flood repairs are still being made, guided tours were given and a carol service was held.
The Bishop David Rossdale was joined by the Rev Buxton and Boston Mayor Coun Alison Austin and Coun Richard Austin on their visits to traders in the area.
They visited Out of the Cage pet shop just as owner Chris Gregg was selling a tarantula to a customer.
Coun Austin, raised a glass of Batemans Brewery's Resilience Ale in the Britannia Inn, where the cellars filled with flood water and the ground-floor was all-but destroyed by a three-foot deep deluge.
Readers sipped the ale, supported by Boston borough and Lincolnshire county councils, for £1.50 with a coupon in last week's Standard.
The Mayor emphasised that the ale aimed to encourage more people sign up for flood warnings.
She praised the 120 volunteers who had helped the Brit to be able to open the next evening after the flood.
You can register for flood warnings on 0345 988 1188 or www.gov.uk/floodsdestroy.


One shouldn't mix insurance with investments or return of premium or tax. Insurance is for protection like helmet while driving a two-wheeler.
Why am I taking health insurance?
Which is the health insurance policy that suits me and why?
Why is ICICI HEALTH SAVER giving you premium back? Because of return of premium are you paying more?
And then go in for a health insurance policy keeping rising rates of medical problems and their cost of treatment.
I am using Aplollo Much Family floater of Rs 5L along with United Insurance Super top up cover of Rs 15L with Rs 5L as deductible.
This combo will give you Health cover of Rs 20L for rest of your life.
ICICI Health saver is a combination of mediclaim+ULIP to create a health corpus (not sure where you got the 50% premium back info it is not in the policy wording).
LIC has a similar policy called Health protection plus which offered additional hospital benefits (NOT same as mediclaim) + ULIP to create a corpus.
These plans are very expensive than simple mediclaim plans and are not the best way to save tax or build a health corpus.
You should consider a plain mediclaim for your family + parents and exhaust most of section 80 D there.
If you can spare some money you could get a critical illness policy which is also exempt from tax.


Ohio House Bill 386 was signed by the Governor and will become effective May 24, 2002. The Bill was carefully crafted to preempt local predatory lending ordinances without violating Ohio's local government home rule provisions.
Creates a study committee to consider further regulation of lending.
As previously reported, the measure passed by the Senate differed from the version passed by the Ohio House. The House concurrenced in the Senate changes and the Governor signed the bill February 22, 2002.

Have you seen the headlines in recent years?
Prison overcrowding is a thing of the past.
AB 109 forced thousands of dangerous criminals down to county jails, where they were released due to underfunding and overcrowding.
Proposition 47, passed in 2014 by the voters, allowed certain felons in jail for theft, check forgery and drug possession to be released from incarceration.
This year, California Governor Jerry Brown is going a step further.
He is throwing his weight behind Proposition 57, which would further release "non-violent" criminals from their sentences earlier than their current release date.
At the same time, however, jails could be filling right back up with otherwise law-abiding individuals.
Governor Brown recently signed seven anti-gun bills that all have penalties associated with jail time.
If you're caught in violation of these new laws, you'll be facing jail time.
Take, for instance, the new laws that make any firearm with a "bullet button" or other magazine locking device an assault weapon, SB 880 and AB 1135.
The punishment under current laws for possession of an "assault rifle" with "evil features" ranges from a $500 fine with the destruction of your weapons to up to THREE years behind bars.
And, rather conveniently, these new gun crimes won't be on the list of offenses for which people can be released early.
So… you could be going to prison if you are caught with a rifle that has a detachable magazine (which now includes a bullet button), a pistol grip or an adjustable stock but someone who is a convicted felon can be released early!
Apparently it does to Governor Brown.

Fiction or Non-Fiction? What kind of books do you prefer?
I love reading. The question is now, do I prefer fiction or Non-fiction? For years I though I would rather read stories, novels, fiction. It seems is not quite true. Two years ago I was wondering if I failed in my reading challenge, or, better said, how much I failed in it. See the details of that reading challenge. Last year I changed the way I wanted to do things regarding books. I didn't set up a reading challenge and the difference was amazing. I went from 13 books in 2016 to 60 books in 2017. Without having a target, especially when it comes to genres. One of the surprising things, when I looked back at the books I've read, see here, is that I prefer non-fiction.
Last year, from 60 books I've read, 37 were non-fiction, varying from mathematics to psychology, history, and biographies. This year the same pattern can be seen. If you have a look at my book blog: Coffee & Books or on my goodreads account, I still prefer non-fiction.
I loved the fiction books I've read last year, mostly historical fiction by Philippa Gregory. But, I didn't love them as much as the ones mentioned earlier. Hence non-fiction wins in the fiction or non-fiction debate.
So far, this year I've read 43 books. I set up a goal of 30; after I surpassed it, I've increased the number to 52 books for this year. I'm way ahead of schedule, so I will surpass this target too. Of these 43, 31 are non-fiction. As last year, I've read biographies and memoirs, history, psychology, math, and science. I've also started reading philosophy, politics, and economy. The question Fiction or Non-Fiction appears again. Which one I prefer? I've looked on the list of books I finished this year.
1. Courtiers The Secret History of the Georgian Court by Lucy Worsley. A fascinating book about the courtiers in the 18th century. I did enjoy her writing style a lot. It is very similar to the way she is in her TV shows.
2. Exodus: immigration and multiculturalism in the 21st century by Paul Collier and Refuge: Transforming a Broken Refugee System by Alexander Betts, Paul Collier. These are two books, but it is too hard to pick my favourite book by Collier. Both books made me think of these topics in new ways. That is what a book should do.
3. Henrietta Howard: King's Mistress, Queen's Servant by Tracy Borman. I felt sad for Henrietta, used for years by both Royals, finally being able to leave the court, discovering the love of her life only for a few years of happiness. She seemed like a very intelligent and mature woman, determined.
4. Michael of Romania by Ivor Porter. King Michael, who sadly died last year, was someone I really wanted to read more about. When I've discovered a book about him, written by a Brit who would be more impartial, I wanted to read it and I found it at the library. I did enjoy the book a lot.
5. The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins. It's not the only book by Dawkins that I read, but this is the most important book he wrote (along to The God Delusion) and it should be on this list.
I've read fiction books, but again, neither are making their way into the 5 books I loved this year list. Maybe because I give more weight to non-fiction. On the long term, a non-fiction book I think brings more value than a fiction book, despite the fact that the latter can be more enjoyable to read and, definitely, easier to read too. I'll have to wait until the end of the year to be sure, but it looks like the non-fiction are my go-to books.
What kind of books do you enjoy reading? Fiction or non-fiction? I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject. Also, if you have any amazing books you'd like to recommend, I would like to hear that too.
I like a mix of fiction and non-fiction. I guess it really depends on what kind of mood I'm in.
I think in general I still prefer fiction, but I read far more non-fiction than I use to. Joining a book club really made me start reading outside my comfort zone, helping me to realize that my tastes are more eclectic than I thought.
In fiction, my favorite genre is historical and done well, it encourages me to do more research on my own… therefore being educational. I enjoy mysteries, too, and love them in historical settings.
As for non-fiction, I'll read most anything…. history, science, faith-based, biography, whatever.
I try to have a post at the end of each year listing some of my favorites. From those you shared, I'm more drawn to your selections from last year.


Posted byJulian Summerhayes	 December 4, 2011 Leave a comment on Do law firms understand LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is growing in numbers and functionality. It is permitted by my most, if not all, law firms.
Compare this to Facebook which causes angst like nothing else.
B) The company [firm] page (have you looked at your firm's profile lately?).
Firms need to understand that LinkedIn undermines your website. Will more people begin to see results a.k.a. instructions through LinkedIn and far, far less through the website? I know which camp I am in.
3. Ownership of y-o-u-r connections?
In truth, they won't. The trap has been sprung.
Those in a position to manage the company page need to consider how they can harness the power of the internal network – think events, collateral and your best news. Have a strategy by all means but you need to think how you can leverage the 1st, 2nd and 3rd level connections of everyone. If you have a team meeting or two then make sure you keep LinkedIn high up the agenda. It is more important than your moribund advertising.
My prediction is that unless firms begin to invest time, effort and meaning to their website that more and more of your fee earners will see the road paved with LinkedIn gold. Don't let it get to a point where you have no understanding of what is going on.

Q: css columns / flexbox with no gaps between items I need to get rid of gaps between elements in my column layout. I can use the latest css3 as the site is targeted at modern browsers/devices but I need to avoid a javascript solution such that the page as delivered from the server doesn't need to be re-rendered based on the width of the client.
Using flexbox, css columns, and other tricks I need to coax a pinterest-like layout. (Pinterest uses javascript and absolute positioning for their layout, it doesn't even render with js turned off.) The site has boxes with a known width but variable height. The number of columns needs to vary based on browser width. (I can do this via media queries if I know what css attribute to change.) Here's what this looks like: via

Also note that I can't just increase the height of the containers to fill the empty space. I want to bring the item below it UP, not make all the heights match. (So stretching items 1, 3, and 4 in the picture above is NOT what I want.)
Things I've tried:

*

*CSS 3 columns. This looks great, but the items are in the wrong order, with the second item being under the first. If this can be changed to a different order such that they go left-to-right, great!

*Flexbox various flexbox configurations, I've tried just about every setting that I was able to change.

*Javascript. Yes, I know I can manually create columns and re-render them on resize. I'm looking to avoid an expensive re-render operation that requires a manual balancing of columns and display. I can resort to this for older browsers that don't support a css3 solution. I'm also wanting to avoid manually positioning all of the items. Gross.
I've put a comment link to JSFiddle because I can't put it in here as "links to jsfiddle require code".

A: check this demo. This is pure css3 masonry effect.

CSS:
.container {
  max-width: 900px;
  height: 470px;

  align-items: flex-start;
}

.item {

A: CSS3: Set the main ul li that holds all 8 drop-down panels to margin: 0 auto;
mainList li {
   margin: 0 auto; /*0 giving no margins on the top and bottom of the panels, and auto making the panels use all of the space within the parent, mainList. I hope this helps.*/
}

A: Well, a little bit late, may be this could be a solution.
I am using flex as it is the only system that can change the order as you want.
The drawbacks of this method is that I need to use some artificial elements to act as separators, and that I need to set a predetermined height on the container

.container {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 90%;
  height: 700px;
  display: flex;
  flex-flow: column wrap;
  align-items: flex-start;
}
.item {
  height: 150px;
  width: 24%;
  margin: 2px;

.item:nth-child(3n + 1) {

25 Jan Mustangs and Bisons to play at Dickey-Stephens
Posted at 10:20h in Events by 501 LIFE
The Central Baptist College Mustangs will host a Division II opponent at Dickey-Stephens Park. The CBC Mustangs and the Harding Bisons will take the field at 6 p.m. Monday, April 24, at the home of the Class AA Arkansas Travelers. The event is sponsored by First Security Bank.
The CBC Mustangs Coach Dr. Aaron Brister and the Bisons Coach Dr. Patrick McGaha have agreed to the neutral site and the event is intended to be held annually. "It's very exciting to play Harding on a big stage," said Brister. "We can't wait to showcase our talent in that venue."
Tickets for adults are $10 and tickets for children 12 and under are $7 (3 and under is free). Student tickets will be $5 for CBC and Harding students with a valid student ID. All seats are general admission. Tickets may be purchased in advance by calling 501.205.8910 or at cbc.edu/dickey-stephens. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the Dickey-Stephens Park box office on the night of the game.
"We are very grateful to the Arkansas Travelers Baseball Club for the opportunity to play at their facility," Brister said. "Any time you can tell a recruit that you are going to play in a AA park, that's exciting and great for recruiting. We hope the community will come out and support both programs as well."
In 2016, the CBC baseball team broke win records and won the first American Midwest Conference championship. The Mustangs also played the St Louis Community College Archers in an exhibition game at Busch Stadium, the most notable venue ever for the college.

Following a growing concern among the development community for greater efficiency and impact of all programs, as well as an increasing demand from our partners to engage in monitoring and evaluation exercises, we have created an M&E Unit. This new Unit will centralise all of our evaluation activities, building on a solid expertise and further enhancing our capacity to deliver a high quality product, focusing on what we believe to be an essential tool to ensure effectiveness of all development interventions.
With more than 25 years of experience in the development area, and a strong network of development partners, we have often been requested by its clients to conduct monitoring and evaluation exercises, providing products that allowed for them to revise and improve the design of future interventions as well as measure and disseminate the real impact of their interventions on the ground, gaining recognition and further support from their financial partners. These evaluations also helped our partners to better understand how to improve the efficiency across its global management system, better focusing their activities and use of scarce resources, thus increasing the overall short and long term impact of their interventions, and increasing the chances of their interventions being sustainable in the long run.
The M&E Unit will allow us to continue delivering high quality evaluation and monitoring services, by maintaining and growing its client portfolio as well as ensuring the quality of all in-house evaluations, while responding to current demands for greater analysis of real impact of development interventions on the ground, for which we will be including econometric (using STATA and other statistical experimental and non-experimental analysis tools) and economic analysis as part of all our proposals.

Poll Question : How Would You Rate Google Maps as Talking Sat Nav?
I have been using Google Maps as talking Sat Nav on my Samsung Galaxy S4 mobile.
I have found the instructions come a bit late especially at roundabouts so can be a bit tricky to not go down the wrong exist at times but overall a handy mobile app.
Some of the road pronunciations are a bit odd but that adds some amusement to using Google Maps as a talking sat nav.
I have a reasonable data allowance in my monthly plan but was concerned using Google Maps as sat Nav might have a big impact on my data allowance but using it for two long journeys last week (and other journeys this month) have only used 114 kb of data so a very small impact in my experience.
Pretty handy as always on my phone to always with me.
I don't think it is anything like as good as TOM TOM, Garmin Sat Navs etc but as a free tool on my mobile to stop me getting lost or get to to where I need to get to it has so far been very helpful.
Any hints and tips on ow to get the best our of Google Maps as talking sat nav anyone?

is a sweet, bright green-colored liqueur made by Suntory, flavored with Yubari and muskmelon. It is manufactured in Japan, the United States, Mexico, and France. It was first released in 1964 under the name "Hermes Melon Liqueur", but changed its name to "Midori" in 1978. It was made exclusively in Japan until 1987. Midori is typically 20–21% alcohol by volume. Its name is the Japanese word for "green" (緑). The Midori formulated in France is sweeter than the original Japanese version.

As it is extremely sweet, Midori is not usually taken "straight"; it is generally used in a cocktail, Sour flavors are often combined with Midori in order to balance out its sweetness.

Famous cocktails including midori
 Japanese slipper (Midori, Cointreau, and lemon juice)
 Scooby snack (Midori, banana liqueur, coconut rum, and pineapple juice)
 Midori Sour (Midori, Vodka, lemon juice, lime juice, and soda water)

History
Although Hermes Melon Liqueur was released by Suntory in Japan in 1964, it was renamed "Midori" for its release to the US market at Studio 54 in New York City in 1978 during a party held by the cast, crew, and producers of Saturday Night Fever. By 1983, Midori was distributed in 20 countries. In 2013, following consumer research, Suntory reduced the sugar content and began producing Midori with a redesigned label and frosted glass bottle.

Festival of the Senses Raises $150,000 for Glens Falls Hospital
The Glens Falls Hospital Foundation's second annual Festival of the Senses event raised $150,000 to help enhance essential healthcare services provided by Glens Falls Hospital.
Three hundred guests attended, and 34 businesses and individuals sponsored the event, held at the Lake George Club on Thursday, Oct. 13. Leading the way was presenting sponsor, Cerner, an international provider of health information technologies.
"Once again, our regional community sent a very clear signal about how important Glens Falls Hospital is to everyone who lives, works and visits here," said Vice President of Development Cynthia Sherwood. "This incredible show of support means the world to us, and we can't wait to reinvest it in technology, facilities and expertise to care for our community for years to come."
Festival of the Senses featured 19 food stations manned by chefs from across the country and around the Capital Region. Special guest chefs included Nicholas Elmi, winner of the 2014 season of "Top Chef" on Bravo, a James Beard Award nominee, and owner of Laurel, a modern French-influenced American restaurant in Philadelphia; Giorgio Rapicavoli, a 2012 winner on The Food Network's "Chopped," and owner of Eating House and Glass and Vine in Miami; and Joel Vieland, a James Beard Award nominee and executive chef at the Swyft House and Pine Leaf Café in Connecticut. Representing the local region were chefs from Yono's in Albany and the hot new Troy restaurant, Peck's Arcade, as well as chefs from some of the hospital's partners and friends, The Queensbury Hotel, The Inn at Erlowest, and The Sagamore.
Adding to the sensory experience were eight beverage stations, featuring selections of locally crafted beverages and fine wines, as well as an eclectic variety of entertainment. A live auction raised $14,000 of the total proceeds.
Festival of the Senses was co-chaired by David Britton of Pies on Wheels traveling pizzeria and Dakine Cuisine in Glens Falls, who starred in eight seasons of "Dinner Impossible" on Food Network; and Dr. John Sconzo, a local anesthesiologist, world traveler and culinarian. Host Chef was Tony DeStratis of The Lake George Club.

Judge awards family $17.8 million in damages for University City Marine fighter jet crash
Dec. 29, 2011 9:31 AM PT
Family members of four people killed when a Marine fighter jet crashed into their University City home three years ago will get $17.8 million in damages for their deaths, a judge ruled Wednesday.
Killed in the Dec. 8, 2008, crash were 36-year-old Youngmi Lee Yoon; her daughters, Grace Yoon, 15 months old; and Rachel Yoon, 7 weeks old; and Seokim Kim-Lee, Youngmi's 59-year-old mother.
The crash was blamed on a mechanical failure in the F/A-18D Hornet, as well as poor decisions by the pilot and personnel on the ground.
In a 16-page decision, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Miller said Youngmi
Lee Yoon's husband, Don Yoon, should be awarded more than $9 million for lost wages, non-economic damages and loss of household services.
Kim-Lee's husband, Sanghyun Lee, was awarded nearly $4 million in
economic and non-economic damages.
Three adult children of Kim-Lee were awarded $1.5 million each.
The lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Brian Panish, told reporters
outside federal court today that the verdict comes just over seven years from when Don Yoon married Youngmi Lee Yoon, on Christmas Day 2004.
Mr. Yoon says his family is relieved that this part of the process is
over,'' Panish said.
In a statement, Yoon said no sum of money will ever make up for the
loss of our loved ones.`I still harbor no ill will toward the United States
Marine Corps and the pilot who did all he could to prevent this tragedy.' ''
But the statement issued on behalf of the victims' family members said
misguided attempts by the military to save money and cut corners cost their loved ones their lives.
During the civil trial, Panish said his clients were entitled to $56
million in damages.
U.S. Justice Department attorney Bruce Ross told the judge that the
family was entitled to just and reasonable'' damages.

Q: ¿Como puedo ejecutar un servicio en segundo plano sin que se detenga? El problema que tengo, es que al lanzar el servicio en segundo plano al cabo de 5 min se detiene. También se detiene al bloquear el teléfono o al cerrar la app en vez de minimizarla.
Lo que quiero es lanzar el servicio y que este siga funcionando sin ser interrumpido.He mirado en mil paginas, pero no doy con la respuesta.
Espero que me puedan ayudar.

A: Actualmente estoy desarrollando algo similar, manteniendo un servicio vivo, a pesar de que la App este cerrada o se reinicie el Smartphone, lo primero que debes hacer es:
Crear una clase que extiende BroadcastReceiver:
public class BootBroadcast extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
     context.startService(new Intent(context, MyService.class));

}

}
En el servicio:
public class MyService extends Service {

.....

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    return START_STICKY;
}

.....

}
Luego vas a tu AndroidManifest, registras el BroadcastReceiver y el servicio en caso de que Android Studio no lo cree automáticamente...
<service
    android:name=".MyService"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="true" >
</service>

<receiver android:name=".BootBroadcast">
    <intent-filter >
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Y por ultimo queda iniciar el servicio desde nuestro MainActivity:
if (!isMyServiceRunning(MyService.class)){ //método que determina si el servicio ya está corriendo o no
    serv = new Intent(context,MyService.class); //serv de tipo Intent
    context.startService(serv); // tipo Context
    Log.d("App", "Service started");
} else {
    Log.d("App", "Service already running");
}

En caso de que estas ultimas lineas te causen problemas simplemente inicias el servicio de una manera sencilla primero para probar su funcionamiento, con:
startService(new Intent(this,MyService.class));

En el OnCreate...
IMPORTANTE!!!
Colocar el permiso correspondiente para que levante el servicio al encender el smarphone...
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />


It would be nice if it were advertised for what it is, and I think Walmart should contact the manufacturers about this misrepresentation. However, if you can't get that working you will find a remote that will run your Emerson on. Los controles le permiten sustituir un Preparación. I ordered this remote and when I received the package I should have looked closer before opening it. Red Indicator Lights when any button is pressed. The problem is that once you have gotten your nifty new product, the trane furnace service manual tue gets a brief glance, maybe a once over, but it often tends to get discarded or lost with the original packaging. .
They have a system in place so you can print out a special receipt for online orders that makes it really easy to return it to your local Wal-Mart for an easy refund. On the back of the remote, push down on the tab and lift the cover off. It's still frustrating though so I can't help but dock it a couple stars. It is solely up to the end user to decide that the information and files offered here are accurate and fit for use with their equipment.

Pregnancy: MFM slams indefinite suspension on Abuja Randy 'Pastor'
June 3, 2019 - by FastTrackNews - Leave a Comment
By Mary Tom
The Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) has slammed an indefinite suspension on Mr. David Onyekachukwu of its Life Camp branch, Abuja, over a reported indecent relationship he had with a 16-year-old girl.
The indefinite suspension, according to a statement issued in Abuja on Monday by the spokesperson of MFM, Brother Collins Edomaruse, is in line with the rules and regulations of MFM which forbid such acts and frown at them.
He also said that Onyekachukwu's indefinite suspension is a result of an investigation carried out by the Church that established that he was culpable of the reported offence of rape, which resulted in the reported pregnancy of the female teenager.
While confirming the incident, Regional Overseer (RO) of Gwarimpa Region of the church, Pastor Babalola Niyi, said: "He (Onyekachukwu) is not an ordained pastor in Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
"He is just a member/worker in that Life Camp branch and he has been suspended from the branch immediately.
"The church can not stop the law from taking its course as doing so will amount to condoning evil and being an accessory after the fact."
He added: "After investigation, we confirm that the raping and impregnating of the girl is true and the matter is currently being handled by the Police.
"However, we want to say that the alleged person is not an ordained Pastor or an officially appointed Pastor in MFM Gwarimpa Region. "This is therefore a personal issue between the Brother and the innocent victim.
"It has nothing to do with Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
"In MFM, the leadership does not condone indiscipline.
"Absolute holiness within and without is our hallmark in Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries.
"This is of a priority in all our trainings and teachings to our Pastors and members.
"The alleged brother is already in the Custody of the Police to allow the law to take its course."
