Avana pulled off a massive upset when the side overcame defending champions Tupapa in the opening round of The Computer Man Rarotonga Cricket men's competition over the weekend.
Tupapa Cricket Club were eyeing an easy start to the season but were left stunned as Avana overpowered them with a comprehensive 65-run win at Matavera Oval on Saturday.
Openers Adam Sumback and James Keen wasted no time getting stuck into the Tupapa bowlers, putting on a partnership of 60 runs before Keen was bowled by Teokoitu Pana after managing 10 runs.
Sumback continued and was eventually bowled out for 84 runs before Tom Vea knocked 38 runs in quick fashion and Kavana (21 not out), leading the side to a healthy 168 runs at the end of the team's innings.
Tupapa started off well with the bat and raced off to a healthy run count from Teokoitu Pana (30 runs) and Junior Ruarau (29 runs).
But the reigning champs couldn't keep the momentum going as Nathan Heywood ripped through their batting order, collecting four wickets for 21 runs off his four overs to see Tupapa all out for 103.
Avana will be hoping to continue their dream run into round two of the competition when the side faces Takuvaine this Saturday.
In other men's matches, Arorangi Red Backs defeated Muri Creeps, Titans overcame Matavera, Nikao beat Takuvaine and Turangi got off to a winning start against Tupapa II.
In the women's matches, Turangi/Avana beat Tupapa, Takuvaine overcame Nikao and Muri defeated Arorangi.
Matavera was on a bye and will be in action this week.

Huddersfield's Ben Carpenter played down his 'superdad' status and talked up the benefits of adoption as he appeared on national TV today.
Ben appeared live from his home alongside his five children for a chat with the hosts of ITV show This Morning.
And, following the programme, he was delighted to discover that many viewers had donated to his online appeal for £10,000 for a special sensory room for his five children to enjoy.
Ben told YorkshireLive he was "blown away" by people's generosity.

Ben Carpenter with his children
"The public are being so kind and generous, there are a lot of people making donations. I am blown away by how generous people are."
Ben - dubbed by ITV as 'Britain's most inspirational dad' - told the show about the importance of adoption and why people considering it should make the next move.
And he said the key to coping with five children with special needs is having a routine and lots of support from friends and his mum.
Ben, who is single, admitted that homeschooling was driving him mad.
Ben Carpenter and his children in the new adoption campaign
Asked about being called 'super daddy', he said: "I am just me. I am not this saint, I am not this hero. I just love what I do.
"I guess what I do is extraordinary, I get that, but at the end of the day I am just me."
He urged would-be adopters to come forward, adding: "It is the most wonderful journey you will ever make."
His appearance prompted a flurry of donations to his crowdfunding page, which has now raised over £5,400 towards a multi-sensory room for all five children to play in.

In 2019, the US will reach the longest economic expansion in its modern history if, next July, it surpasses the record of 40 quarters held by the expansion of 1991-2001. That said, it is likely that over the coming quarters economic activity will slow down due to the very maturity of the economic cycle and the fading of the fiscal stimulus implemented in late 2017. Thus, the economy may find itself in a context in which, due to the conjunction of lower income growth among households and firms and higher interest rates implemented by the Fed, financial vulnerabilities that have accumulated over the last few years may be uncovered. Among them is the indebtedness of households and firms, the state of which we analyse below.
Debt and credit follow cyclical trends similar to those of the business cycle, with phases of expansion and recession. In the former, there is an increase in the volume of credit and an improvement in the conditions under which families and businesses can borrow (for example, with lower interest rates or fewer collateral requirements). The latter are characterised by a tightening of access to credit, an increase in the rate of non-performing loans and a contraction in the volume of debt. Later, as firms and households clean up their accounts and manage to improve their risk profile, credit begins to flow once again and the cycle reenters the expansionary phase.
On the household side, in the current expansionary phase, mortgage debt and consumer debt are following different paths. While, on the one hand, the burden of mortgage debt on households' disposable income has fallen by more than 40% from its peak in 2007, the burden of debt for consumption purposes has risen steadily since 2012 and at an average annual rate of 0.6% (see second chart). Even so, given that mortgage debt is a significant part of total household debt, the household debt service as a whole lies below 10% (compared to a high of 13.2% in 2007) and at an all-time low since the data series began (1980). The decline in the debt burden not only reflects a reduction in debt, but it has also been facilitated by the low interest rates that have prevailed in recent years (much of the debt has been contracted at a fixed rate, while old debt contracted at higher rates has been maturing). Finally, another noteworthy trend is the sharp decline in the use of home equity lines of credit (consumer loans in which the home is used as collateral). Therefore, as a whole, household debt represents a clearly more moderate source of risk than in the previous expansionary phase. Furthermore, looking ahead to the next few quarters, the strength in the labour market should allow the non-performing loan rate to remain at low levels.
On the side of non-financial corporate debt, the picture is less rosy. Standing at 73% of GDP, corporate debt is currently around its all-time highs, although, as noted in the last chart, the cumulative increase in the current phase of the cycle has occurred more slowly than in previous expansionary phases. Nevertheless, in view of these levels, indicators such as the ease of access to credit can help us to clarify whether the increase in this debt might signal the beginning of a later phase in the credit cycle.
On this note, the third panel of the third chart shows that, in Q4 2018, there was a slight increase in the risk premium on the debt of companies with a worse credit profile,5 although it remains at historically low levels. In fact, the same chart indicates that, in the last two expansions, this differential has tended to contract over the course of the business cycle. In other words, the maturity of the expansion has been accompanied by a reduction in the cost of financing for companies with a low credit score. However, this can lead to a deterioration in the quality of the total debt that exists in the market, given that companies with a riskier credit profile can be financed at a relatively lower cost. In this regard, both the IMF and the Fed have warned about the increase in new lending to companies that are already heavily in debt. In particular, they highlight the fact that, in the US, new debt issued by highly leveraged companies has gone from representing slightly more than 20% of the total in 2010 to over 60% in Q3 2018.6 The concern is that, faced with a tightening of credit conditions (such as a deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook), these companies could find themselves facing difficulties servicing its interest and principal payments, which could amplify the effects of the economic slowdown.
All in all, the credit cycle is at a point at which some signals indicate that the expansionary phase still has some way to go, while others point towards pockets of vulnerability. In particular, the increase in the indebtedness of firms that are already highly leveraged poses a risk that could be activated either in the case of a more sudden-than-expected slowdown in economic activity or in the event of signs of overheating that force the Fed to increase interest rates.
1. For example, at present, the credit-to-GDP gap is negative for households and positive for the non-financial corporate sector.
2. We analysed economic expansions according to the classification of the NBER (1983-1990, 1991-2001, 2002-2007 and 2009-present).
3. According to the data from the Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey, a survey in which financial institutions indicate whether they are tightening or relaxing conditions for access to credit compared with the previous quarter.
5. In particular, the differential between bonds issued by companies with a rating of BBB or above and those with a rating of BB or below.
6. Highly leveraged companies are considered to be those with an EBITDA ratio (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) greater than 5. For more details, see L. Brainard (2018). «Assessing Financial Stability over the Cycle». Federal Reserve Board.


Is it wrong to irrationally dislike acts that have a laptop as their primary instrument? No? Good. First supports DreamGarden improve half way through their set, once a vocalist joins our lone laptop-user on stage, but in comparison to the brilliant Abe who follow, they falter in front of their miniscule audience.
Abe play their ambient electronica to a more receptive audience, helped not just by the later timeslot but also by their more accessible music. The trio are a little too absorbed in their respective equipment to pay much attention to their surroundings though – most notably the drummer, with his drum machine as opposed to a real kit, has a serious case of 'concentration face' going on.
In contrast, IS TROPICAL's set is as much about the visuals as it is the thunderous sounds they create. They stick to an order vaguely reflective of their album, kicking off with the sublime 'South Pacific' which also begins Native To.
In their characteristic bandanas, the band strikes a formidable pose on the somewhat small stage of The Harley. The light show that starts as soon as they appear carries on for the duration of their set – flashing lights of white and red colour the room and come with headache-inducing potential. There is some respite in the surreal videos that adorn the ceiling every so often, playing strange swirls of colour that almost seem to throb in time to songs such as 'Lies' and the powerful, bass-heavy yet also kind-of sentimental 'I'll Take My Chances'.
Despite their slightly rebellious attire, they're polite boys, saying "cheers" after nearly every song. Before launching into their biggest hit, 'The Greeks' as their penultimate song, drummer Dom Apa crosses his chest in a strangely religious moment.
Of course, the bandanas covering their face add to the rousingly militant sounds of 'Seasick Mutiny', whipping members of the crowd into dancing frenzy as cries of "Heave! Ho!" break through the electronic soundscape. Sadly, this signals the end of their set, and IS TROPICAL leave as abruptly as they came. Even more sadly, it seems patrons of The Harley are more concerned with the club night on afterwards, as people begin arriving shortly after, with no idea of the amazing gig they've missed.


Academically, women outperform men. Except when they're in a male-centric environment.
Using the social belonging intervention.
How wise criticism can help keep gender or race from getting in the way of feedback.
"The deck is stacked against women and minorities." That sounds like an incendiary statement, but Greg Walton shares research completed in the USA, Canada and Australia that will likely leave you accepting that uncomfortable premise. But instead of just criticizing the status quo, Walton presents research on the efficacy of a number of simple interventions that have had a remarkably positive effect on the performance – and social satisfaction – of both women and minorities.
In one study, African-American students were much more motivated than white students by a simple motivational note clipped to their papers. In another study, simply removing the Star Wars posters made a computer science degree more interesting to women who had not yet selected their majors. The underlying theme: simple interventions can help outsiders feel like insiders. When they do, they will flourish, and the group will flourish.
Greg Walton's research examines the nature of self and identity, often in the context of academic motivation and achievement. He is particularly interested in social-psychological interventions that can raise achievement and narrow group differences. He earned his A.B.in Philosophy from Stanford and a PhD in Psychology from Yale University.

A: Looks like you have multiple issues here.  I suspect they also start prior to initializing your cluster, as Kubernetes can't connect to the internet to download what it needs.

*

*destroy the current VM, and create a new one (recommend Bridged networking).

*verify the VM has network connectivity.

*install docker on the VM.

*enable the docker service (looks like you also missed this step) with: sudo systemctl enable docker (or as appropriate for your OS)

*verify the vm has network connectivity.

*proceed with kubernetes installation and cluster initialization.

I suspect you also don't want your pod-network-cidr to specify the same network as your VMs, or otherwise play with the HostNetwork setting.

Yep, you read the headline right. My dragon is a dog. Well, at least he acts like one in my current W.I.P. that happens to be the second installment of my Young Adult fantasy series, The Chronicles of Fallhollow.
I hadn't planned for Mirith to take on doggish traits. I mean, he's an Oppernicus for heaven's sake. They are very odd dragons. They don't fly. They are quite stocky. They have a frill of feathers for a mane, a beak-like an eagle, scales like a fish, and a tail like a lion's, except with a pointed mace on the end. Oh, and they don't shoot fire. Instead, they curl their tails over their heads like a scorpion and shoot ice bolts.
But when Mirith is with his best bud, David, he is reduced to a puddle of goo. He rests his head on David's knee and begs. He wags his tail when happy. He growls when mad. He struts around like he's all that. And he tries to sit on the furniture, with not much luck because he's bigger than the freaking couch.
And even though he gets into mischief, and is fiercely loyal in his protection of David, he really is a big, sweet, loveable baby who loves getting scratched behind the ears … if you can find them. But watch out. When he's getting his lovin', he purrs like a really big cat.
I'm sure his antics will delight young and old alike. He makes me smile, that's for sure.
What/who is your favorite fictional pet? Snoopy? Hedwig? Pascal? Scooby Do? Falkor? I want to know.
Yep, in my dream last night, my novel, In the Shadow of the Dragon King, was picked up by none other than Peter Jackson himself. See, he likes dragons and destroying things and when he read my novel, he knew he had to put it on the big screen.
Needless to say, I was overjoyed, as was my publisher.
Of course the film was a HUGE success and was up for 9 Academy Awards. All of the authors from Month9Books and its imprints were there at the theater. We were all dressed to kill and we made such a lovely bunch of giddy authors. My daughter, Heather Jessup, who is a real-life costume designer, did all the costumes for the film (I told Peter I wouldn't allow the film to be made without my daughter as the CD. Let me tell you, she was stoked beyond stoked.) Heather won an Academy Award for her role in the film. The film won a couple of other awards for musical score and set design, but I woke up before I found out if it won Best Picture.
So, tell me. What is your BIG dream?


Then I started seeing ads from SamCart, so I signed up for their email list. I got a couple of mails from them hyping their support up, therefore I decided to give it a shot.
SamCart is a checkout platform Features conversion-optimized checkout templates together with one-click upsell, arrange payment, subscription and bulge plan capabilities that are intended to maximize profits.
If you are a person that wishes to establish a shopping cart efficiently, SamCart is for you. You can get up and running in under thirty minutes. I set my things up but that's probably because I watched a few YouTube videos about it ahead.
The reason that SamCart has been able to Grow is because they provide so many features that help retailers earn more money. Whether you're running an e-commerce store or selling info products, these features can help you make money and have SamCart pay for itself quickly.
SamCart allows you to make your own personal army of affiliates that will sell your products for you together with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically generates an Affiliate Signup page for you – that is where others can apply to advertise your products.
You're going to get a URL for this page, which means that you can send it out to potential affiliates, post it on your site, or send it from your own email list. Whenever my email subscribers go several months without buying anything from me, I invite them to become affiliates. Hey, if they are not purchasing anything, it's still a way for me to gain from them.
When a possible affiliate fills your application, they'll be shown a message which their accounts is"pending approval". When that occurs, you will find a notification that they applied via email. It have buttons to accept or reject the individual's application. If you'd like you may also set this up to accept affiliates.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50%. But this payout to can be customized by you. You can pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per sale) or a proportion. I have had a lot of success by raising the affiliate for top-performing affiliates to give them a bonus to sell even more.
Among the coolest things about SamCart is that they have 18 professionally designed templates that are proven to convert. I really don't think the templates ALL are that good, but I do love almost all of them. My favorite is the classic template.
All of the templates have trust elements like reviews, guarantees, and security reassurances that provide your clients the reassurance they need to enhance your conversions.
Once you choose your checkout page, then it is easy to customize it by changing the colours of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You can also pick the fields that you want to include and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your customer is buying (I have found bullet points to be especially useful, and that's why you see them on all of my earnings pages).
I do a good deal of advertising on Google AdWords, in which most of my traffic comes from cellular. I found that with my previous cart, people were left. SamCart assisted my boost my conversions from mobile.
Plusthey have a cool"sandbox" mode, which allows you make certain everything is working before going live with your goods. With my previous cart, I really had to print everything and then test it. I hated doing this. With SamCart, I will test payments without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
If you're selling online and you aren't offering upsells, you're leaving a great deal of cash on the table. In fact, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35% of its revenues were from its upselling efforts. Do not you think that it warrants your consideration, if Amazon is making that much money from it?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You probably experience upsells all of the time and don't even understand it. It's there as an upsell for those who don't want to be concerned about maintenance, although you do not HAVE to get the extended warranty for your car. You do not HAVE to get dessert after dinner, but restaurants like to provide it.
This attribute is unique because it offers you the capability to add many different payment choices onto one checkout page. For my $997 online course, Teachable is used by me, and even they don't provide this feature. When a customer wants the payment program, I must have separate checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart because of that.
The one page checkout takes multiple payments into a completely new level because it keeps visitors on the page while they decide how to pay. If you have ever sold anything online, you understand how important it is to keep your traffic on the page.
Cross-selling is a strategy to market products that are associated with the one the client already owns. If a client buys a vehicle from you, a cross-sell would be auto insurance or gas.
You may be familiar with this as bundling. You can increase your profits when you package products and the principal product jointly. McDonald's does by selling beverages and fries with their hamburgers, this well.
When I started selling subscription merchandise online, I was naive enough to believe everybody would pay on time, every moment. I figured that if I had been good enough honor my duties and to pay my bills, so would everybody else.
Boy, was I naive. Figuring out there are some real winners on the internet. People who decline charges or cancel credit cards to get out of making payments. Your subscription income is already gone, after this occurs. Barring any legal action (like sending a demand letter… in case you've got the client's address) you can't receive your cash. Sad.
But today with SamCart, your subscriptions have been safeguarded from diminished obligations and expired credit cards. A payment fails, SamCart sends your client an email on your behalf – that the email has a link where customers can upgrade the payment they have on file from their own inbox. That means you don't have to waste your precious time hounding your clients .
Is not it bizarre that people talk about split testing their revenue pages, their opt-in pages, their email subject lines, and much more… but they don't ever speak about testing their checkout page?
When you figure that a large part of your potential customers are abandoning your checkout site, don't you think that a half-decent split test might let you get one more client??
Fortunately, SamCart offers the capacity to run live split tests. In the world of shopping carts, this is AMAZING. In case you've got your split-testing snags you ONE client and a abandonment rate, you will effectively double your sales. Yes, DOUBLE YOUR SALES. Much like this.
SamCart lets you change almost any setting you want, so you can test any variation that tickles your fancy. It's possible to alter the template, try a different warranty (I have found that the more, the greater ), remove some areas (I have discovered the less, the better), and more.
As soon as you have your variants created, SamCart mechanically tests involving your variations. You do not have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" part in the product's settings to see how the variants are doing. Once you find a winner, SamCart allows you to disable the failure.
The one thing you can not split-test with SamCart is the product's cost. You are going to have to create two distinct products and run a test between these two products, if you would like to do so.
When it comes to A/B analyzing, experience tells me that you ought to test the big stuff first (like entirely different templates) and then work your way down to the second details. Oh, and wait till you've got a statistically significant sample size until you call it.
Based on what study you read, 80% of people That"add to cart" on your site will abandon cart. You will add a substantial amount of money to your bottom line, if it is possible to get a small quantity of these people to convert.
SamCart's whole value proposition is that their checkout site templates are tested to the gills and they've been demonstrated to convert better than their competition. You want to make sure that you're maximizing your conversions, Should you sell items online, and SamCart will help you do that.
Plus, most checkout pages aren't designed to maximize the total amount of profit which you get from each sell. Things like order lumps and upsells help you add more profit.
By way of instance, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. I would not have the ability to bring an upsell, When I used a typical checkout form. Because I provide an upsell, roughly one out of every 3 individuals take my offer .
Due to the one simple feature, I'm adding an average of $20 to every single purchase of the item. That's like giving myself more than a 20% raise simply. Which means that I can devote an extra $20 on advertisements develop my business even quicker and to acquire a client.
My SamCart feature is hands-down the Client and training service they provide. They have a lot of videos in what's called their"Knowledge Base" which teaches you how you can use their applications (even though it's already fairly simple ) and they supply a good deal of education on the best way to earn more money if you're selling online.
They have an entire library of product info, webinars, tutorials, and more. The education is well worth the price. I needed to include this fact in my SamCart review.
I didn't have a chance to integrate SamCart with a Lot of tools, just because I don't use that many. I use use PayPal, Drip, OptinMonster and Stripe.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Have a look at my review . If you're interested in knowing more I wrote an overview of that also.
SamCart lets you easily sync with a lot of tools, such as email, marketing automation, registration, and payment processing. It was super easy for me to incorporate my entire system together with SamCart and I envision it would be the same for nearly all individuals out there.
Even SamCart is an absolute steal with the features. I've discovered that the Basic is great enough for many entrepreneurs, however if you're doing a great deal of business online, you wish to acquire the Pro plan.
Also keep in mind that if you're looking to save a little money, they offer you a discount if you pay annually. I recommend that you make the most of the free trial (to make sure it's definitely suitable for you) and then paying annually to save money. If you pay yearly, the Pro program is $888 per year (which saves you $300) and the Premium program is $1,788 annually (which saves you $600).

The Sublimity of Trang T. Lê
June 17, 2013 · by Jill Thayer, Ph.D.
A catalogue essay to accompany the exhibition, Trang T. Lê: Quiet Thoughts (October 4 – November 11, 2013) at Artspace Vincennes, Indiana.
By Jill Thayer, Ph.D.
Trang T. Lê, "Your Morning, Day 5," 2011, oil on canvas, 55 x 60 inches.
A calm presence is felt upon viewing the paintings of Trang T. Lê. Her ethereal compositions impart the quiet essence of nature in a visual language of contemplation. For Lê, this meditative state reveals a healing source of life. For viewers, it's a pause for reflection. Her methodology suggests nuances of Post-Impressionist, Expressionist, and Minimalist genres calling to mind the metaphysical auras of Rothko and aesthetic subtleties of Agnes Martin. Yet, Lê's approach is uniquely her own.
Trang T. Lê, "My Morning, Day 5," 2011, oil on canvas, 25 x 45 inches.
Trang T. Lê, "Paris Memory," 2013, oil on canvas, 40 x 30 inches.
Quiet Thoughts is a sojourn into past and present. It is a statement of hope and resolve, which took almost 10 years to complete. Lê's paintings meander down the hallway into three intimate galleries. Each space transitions one to the next in a restorative path of intrigue. The atmospheric qualities of Morning series (2011) bring solitude that only comes in the early dawn, as a myriad of spiral brushstrokes blend then evaporate into a cloud of mist. The process involves a smooth, soft painted ground with impasto pigment and an application of repetitive circles that resonate organically throughout the works
Trang T. Lê, "Chrysanthemums," 2013, oil on canvas, 30 x 60 inches.
Memory of Nature (2011) explores the confluence of earth, water, and sky in a saturation of color and light that draws the viewer in. Contrasting palettes and analogous motifs bring engagement to each study: Interwoven threads in crisp, colorful geranium hues tumble to the ground in a heap of confetti; Waves ebb and flow in a sea of azure blues; Windblown chrysanthemums sway under the flaxen sky.
A single panel from Lê's eloquent 111,978 represents the epic 4 x 56 ft. installation from an exhibition at the Vincent Price Art Museum in Los Angeles. The work pays homage to the number of soldiers and civilians who died during the Iraq War, which Lê discovered after a three-year research. Between 2006-2010, the artist documented 4,743 faces and names of U.S. and Allied soldiers in three journals. A photo accompanies the piece to give viewers a sense of scale in the enormity of the seven panel series. Oceanic currents and galaxies of stars constellate to honor those lying in repose under the midnight sky.
"111,978," is a series of (7) 4 x 8 ft. panels that total 4 x 56 feet. The painting honors the soldiers and civilians who died in the Iraq War. Installation view, Vincent Price Art Museum, 2011.
"Each circle represents one life that was lost.
Each circle represents a soul at rest."
Trang T. Lê's journals capture 4,743 pictures and names of U.S. and Allied soldiers who died in the Iraqi War.
Lê's inspiration is a catalyst of transformation as she shares her motivation, "How I love the morning. After a good sleep, things are light and our minds are fresh. Just looking out of the window. Simplicity. A simple moment can help us through the day. This is how the body of work evolved." It is this interpretive expression that captures the fragility of humanity in the meditative paintings of Trang T. Lê. Quiet Thoughts brings these transforming constructs to life through the healing power of nature and sublime promise of peace.
Trang T. Lê earned a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science from University of Riverside California in art and anthropology; and a Master of Fine Arts at Claremont Graduate University. Lê exhibits her work throughout Southern California and Asia. Her paintings are included in corporate and private collections.

Information on how to properly care and maintain your hardwood floors.
There's no doubt hardwood requires some extra attention on your part, but you will see the value of your efforts when you look at (and walk around on) a gleaming floor. The good news is that the care is manageable. We'll give you a few tips for a better-looking floor, so you'll be able to enjoy it longer, both for yourself and for potential homebuyers down the road.
No piece of wood is the same, so no hardwood floor is the same. Yours has defining characteristics, from knots to mineral streaks, that make it special. It's also somewhat subject to where you live, as humidity or climate changes can either shrink or expand the wood. If at all possible, you should be aiming to keep your rooms at between 30 and 50% humidity and the interior temperature between 60 and 80° F. Hardwood care is all about just knowing a few simple rules before you get started.
Don't clean with steam or water, as water can be damaging to the wood's finish. If you vacuum, do not use the beater bar head on the floors. Use products specifically recommended by the manufacturer and guideline with your warranty. You will think that your hardwood floor is built to attract dust, but it's just easier to see and feel the grit on hardwood as opposed to other types of flooring (e.g., carpets, tile, etc.) Area rugs at the doorways can actually do a lot to decrease the buildup. Put protective shields on the chair and table legs so they don't scratch your floor, and avoid wearing high heels when walking on it.

Q: Convert object containing repeated fields to JSON I have two table country and city in mysql dababase and i make a query to return records like that as List<myDTO> :
1,france,1,paris
1,france,2,marseille
1,france,3,lion
....

MyDTO
public class MyDTO {

    public Integer idLvl1;
    public String  nameLvl1;
    public Integer idLvl2;
    public String  nameLvl2;

    public MyDTO(Integer idLvl1, String nameLvl1, Integer idLvl2, String nameLvl2) {
        this.idNiv1 = idLvl1;
        this.nomNiv1 = nameLvl1;
        this.idNiv2 = idLvl2;
        this.nomNiv2 = nameLvl2;
    }

How can i convert it to json object to avoid the repeating country :
[
  {"idNiv1" :1,"nameLvl1":"France","cities":[{"idNiv2":1,"nameLvl2":"paris"}]}
  {"idNiv1" :1,"nameLvl1":"France","cities":[{"idNiv2":2,"nameLvl2":"marseille"}]}
  {"idNiv1" :1,"nameLvl1":"France","cities":[{"idNiv2":3,"nameLvl2":"lion"}]}
  ....
]

to
[
  {
     "idNiv1" :1,
     "nameLvl1":"France",
     "cities":[
                { "idNiv2":1,"nameLvl2":"paris" } ,
                { "idNiv2":2,"nameLvl2":"marseille" } ,
                { "idNiv2":3,"nameLvl2":"lion" }
              ]
  }
  ....
]

A: You can use Google's Gson in this case :
public String getJSONFromResultSet(ResultSet rs, String key) {
    Map json = new HashMap();
    List list = new ArrayList();
    if (rs != null) {
        try {
            ResultSetMetaData mData = rs.getMetaData();
            while (rs.next()) {
                Map<String, Object> columns = new HashMap<String, Object>();
                for (int columnIndex = 1; columnIndex <= mData.getColumnCount(); columnIndex++) {
                    if (rs.getString(mData.getColumnName(columnIndex)) != null) {
                        columns.put(mData.getColumnLabel(columnIndex),
                                rs.getString(mData.getColumnName(columnIndex)));
                    } else {
                        columns.put(mData.getColumnLabel(columnIndex), "");
                    }
                }
                list.add(columns);
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        json.put(key, list);
    }
    return new Gson().toJson(json);
}

Update:
You can call getJSONFromResultSet method like below :
Connection con = DBConnectionClass.myConnection();
        PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement("SELECT * FROM Customer");
      //as an example consider a table named Customer in your DB.
        ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
        System.out.println(getJSONFromResultSet(rs, "customer"));

A: Create additional classes for country and city. Transform the flat structure to nested structure of country and cities as shown below:
public class Country {

    Integer idLvl1;
    String  nameLvl1;

    public Country(Integer idLvl1, String  nameLvl1) {
    }

    List<City> cities;

}

public class City {

    Integer idLvl2;
    String  nameLvl2;

    public City(Integer idLvl2, String  nameLvl2) {
    }
}

public class MyDTOConverter {

    public static Collection<Country> covert(List<MyDTO> dtos){
        Map<Integer, Country> countries = new LinkedHashMap<Integer, Country>();
        for (MyDTO myDTO : dtos) {
            //First adding the country if it doesn't exist
            if (!countries.containsKey(myDTO.idLvl1)){
                countries.put(myDTO.idLvl1, new Country(myDTO.idLvl1, myDTO.nameLvl1));
            }

            //Adding city in the existing country.
            countries.get(myDTO.idLvl1).cities.add(new City(myDTO.idLvl2, myDTO.nameLvl2));
        }

        return countries.values();
    }

}

The final Collection of Country will result is the desired JSON.

A: You can write Wrapper DTO on top of Your MyDTO and then use any available json libraries like  Google's Gson to convert to required JSON format.
Regards,
Sakumar

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for premenstrual syndrome
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common cause of physical, psychological and social problems in women of reproductive age. PMS is distinguished from 'normal' premenstrual symptoms by the degree of distress and disruption it causes. Symptoms occur during the period leading up to the menstrual period and are relieved by the onset of menstruation. Common symptoms include irritability, depression, anxiety and lethargy. A clinical diagnosis of PMS requires that the symptoms are confirmed by prospective recording (that is recorded as they occur) for at least two menstrual cycles and that they cause substantial distress or impairment to daily life. It is estimated that approximately one in five women of reproductive age are affected. PMS can severely disrupt a woman's daily life and some women seek medical treatment. Researchers in The Cochrane Collaboration reviewed the evidence about the effectiveness and safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for treating PMS. They examined the research up to February 2013.
The review included 31 randomised controlled trials which compared SSRIs with placebo in a total of 4372 women who were clinically diagnosed with PMS. SSRIs were found to be effective for reducing the overall symptoms of PMS and also for reducing specific types of symptoms (psychological, physical and functional symptoms, and irritability). SSRIs were usually taken for about two weeks before the start of the menstrual period (the luteal phase) or every day (continuously). Both regimens appeared to be equally effective, although more research is needed to confirm this.
Adverse effects were more common in the women taking SSRIs than in those taking placebo. The most commonly occurring side effects were nausea and decreased energy. The review authors calculated that nausea is likely to occur as a drug side effect in approximately one out of seven women with PMS taking a moderate dose of SSRIs, and lack of energy is likely to occur as a drug side effect in approximately one out of every nine women.
The overall quality of the evidence was rated as low to moderate, the main weakness being poor reporting of methods in the included studies. At least 21 of the studies received funding from pharmaceutical companies.
SSRIs are effective in reducing the symptoms of PMS, whether taken in the luteal phase only or continuously. Adverse effects are relatively frequent, the most common being nausea and asthenia. Adverse effects are dose-dependent.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a common cause of physical, psychological and social problems in women of reproductive age. The key characteristic of PMS is the timing of symptoms, which occur only during the two weeks leading up to menstruation (the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle). Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are increasingly used as first line therapy for PMS. SSRIs can be taken either in the luteal phase or else continuously (every day). SSRIs are generally considered to be effective for reducing premenstrual symptoms but they can cause adverse effects.
The objective of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SSRIs for treating premenstrual syndrome.
Electronic searches for relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were undertaken in the Cochrane Menstrual Disorders and Subfertility Group Specialised Register, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL (February 2013). Where insufficient data were presented in a report, attempts were made to contact the original authors for further details.
Studies were considered in which women with a prospective diagnosis of PMS, PMDD or late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LPDD) were randomised to receive SSRIs or placebo for the treatment of premenstrual syndrome.
Two review authors independently selected the studies, assessed eligible studies for risk of bias, and extracted data on premenstrual symptoms and adverse effects. Studies were pooled using random-effects models. Standardised mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for premenstrual symptom scores, using separate analyses for different types of continuous data (that is end scores and change scores). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated for dichotomous outcomes. Analyses were stratified by type of drug administration (luteal or continuous) and by drug dose (low, medium, or high). We calculated the number of women who would need to be taking a moderate dose of SSRI in order to cause one additional adverse event (number needed to harm: NNH). The overall quality of the evidence for the main findings was assessed using the GRADE working group methods.
Thirty-one RCTs were included in the review. They compared fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram and citalopram versus placebo. SSRIs reduced overall self-rated symptoms significantly more effectively than placebo. The effect size was moderate when studies reporting end scores were pooled (for moderate dose SSRIs: SMD -0.65, 95% CI -0.46 to -0.84, nine studies, 1276 women; moderate heterogeneity (I2 = 58%), low quality evidence). The effect size was small when studies reporting change scores were pooled (for moderate dose SSRIs: SMD -0.36, 95% CI -0.20 to -0.51, four studies, 657 women; low heterogeneity (I2=29%), moderate quality evidence).
SSRIs were effective for symptom relief whether taken only in the luteal phase or continuously, with no clear evidence of a difference in effectiveness between these modes of administration. However, few studies directly compared luteal and continuous regimens and more evidence is needed on this question.
Withdrawals due to adverse effects were significantly more likely to occur in the SSRI group (moderate dose: OR 2.55, 95% CI 1.84 to 3.53, 15 studies, 2447 women; no heterogeneity (I2 = 0%), moderate quality evidence). The most common side effects associated with a moderate dose of SSRIs were nausea (NNH = 7), asthenia or decreased energy (NNH = 9), somnolence (NNH = 13), fatigue (NNH = 14), decreased libido (NNH = 14) and sweating (NNH = 14). In secondary analyses, SSRIs were effective for treating specific types of symptoms (that is psychological, physical and functional symptoms, and irritability). Adverse effects were dose-related.
The overall quality of the evidence was low to moderate, the main weakness in the included studies being poor reporting of methods. Heterogeneity was low or absent for most outcomes, though (as noted above) there was moderate heterogeneity for one of the primary analyses.

& DANCE
THE COMPANY'S STORY
Vision Gymnastics and Dance was founded by Jane Johnson. A former celebrity manicurist and make-up artist from Long Island NY.

Flawless Execution: Afterburner & USAA Continue Transition and Career Development Seminars to Exiting Service Members, next at Fort Campbell
Daylong seminar free to all veterans held at Cole Park Commons Tuesday, 29 July 14. Elite Military Veterans - Meet the New Face of Business Leadership!
Veterans at the Military Leader Transition Seminar
"...Our focus is to provide knowledge, resources and expertise to our veterans as well as connect them with meaningful career opportunities."Eric Engquist Assistant Vice President of USAA Military Transitions
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
USAA continues their sponsorship of the upcoming post-military career planning seminar for exiting soldiers, facilitated by veteran-owned-and-operated management training and consulting firm Afterburner, Inc®. The Military Leader Transition Seminar is open to transitioning leaders from all ranks, and will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 29 at Cole Park Commons in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The partnership demonstrates both organizations' commitment to veteran initiatives.
"USAA is dedicated to helping our military members and their families make a successful transition into civilian life," stated Eric Engquist, Assistant Vice President of USAA Military Transitions. "As proud supporters of the national Hiring Our Heroes coalition and the White House's Joining Forces initiative, our focus is to provide knowledge, resources and expertise to our veterans as well as connect them with meaningful career opportunities. This is why we are so excited to continue to sponsor Afterburner's transition workshops. Our shared passion for helping our service members and their families by equipping them with the tools they need to transition successfully makes it the perfect fit."
The full-day seminar is part of a larger initiative to encourage military members to think more strategically about their transition to civilian life well in advance of their separation or retirement dates. The course curriculum trains veterans to identify key areas of consideration and to use those as guidance throughout the planning process. Participants learn job search skills, networking, interview preparation and strategic planning skills. Most important, veterans are shown the importance of developing a lifetime civilian career as opposed to securing an initial job. The planning process used in the Military Leader Transition Seminar is the same process used by top corporations, providing each participant with an individual career plan, complete with a personal value proposition, career objectives customized to his or her previous experience, and insight into industries where military leadership skills are in high demand.
As part of the seminar, each participant will also receive a copy of "Down Range," the recently released veteran career transition guide co-authored by Afterburner founder and CEO Jim "Murph" Murphy and retired Navy Cmdr. Will Duke, Afterburner's director of learning and development. Written from the firm's nearly 20-year history working with Fortune 500 and Global 2000 clients, "Down Range" empowers exiting military members to communicate the value of their service experience and individual areas of expertise, and to use those skill sets and experience as catalysts to success throughout their civilian careers.
In founding Afterburner, Murphy recognized the correlation between skill sets that were in high demand among global corporations and the skill sets he acquired as an F-15 fighter pilot in the U.S. Air Force.
"Each week across the nation, we train our client organizations how to operate like elite military teams," Murphy says. "These best in class organizations recognize and seek the skill sets that military service members possess, yet our veteran unemployment numbers remain high.
"This is not a disparity in talent or experience. This is a disparity in communication. USAA's sponsorship allows Afterburner to train vets to strategically establish a civilian career path leveraging those in-demand skill sets, not starting all over."

Discussion in 'Calgary Stampeders Talk' started by Madman, Nov 2, 2015.
Fans came dressed up in their Halloween costumes to watch the Stamps defeat the Riders.
Zombies joined the Outriders for a Halloween performance to Thriller.
Anthony Parker didn't get to see the move.
Calgary Stampeders wideout Joe West provided the highlight of the night Saturday with his shake-'n'-bake touchdown in the second quarter.
"That was great sense or vision," Parker said of West eluding a would-be tackler and sprinting for a 15-yard major. "I don't know if he saw him or just felt him.
"I was up the field blocking and waiting for him. I heard the crowd go nuts so I knew we were about to score.
"It was great to see him have that breakout game. It's been a long time coming for him. He just got a few more opportunities and did a great job with it."
John Hufnagel said he didn't care which path his team took.
As long as it ends up at the intended destination: Winnipeg.
The Calgary Stampeders GM/head coach and his club will be forced to take the longer route after the Edmonton Eskimos wrapped up first place in the CFL's West Division, and the accompanying bye week, with a 40-22 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Sunday.
The Stamps will settle for second place and will host the B.C. Lions in the West Division semifinal on Sunday, Nov. 15.
It was a mismatch on paper.
It was a mismatch on the field.
The Calgary Stampeders showed no mercy to their rivals as they pounded the Saskatchewan Roughriders 42-19 on Saturday at McMahon Stadium.
It was an efficient gameplan that spread the ball around and the hosts were in complete control from the opening kickoff.
The Stamps won't hurt their shoulders patting themselves on the back, though.
There is one final tuneup, just a tinker here or there to make sure the engine is running smoothly.
The question now is whether the Calgary Stampeders want to fully rev their entire horsepower as they get ready for the post-season.
Regardless, the Stamps have proven to be clicking on all cylinders lately.
Once again, the Stampeders are heading into the final weekend of the regular season playing the B.C. Lions in Vancouver without any bearing on the standings.
Josh Bell, a man of infinite variety, had taken on the guise of cartographer late Sunday morning.
"If it happens, we've just got to take a different road,'' reasoned the loquacious safety, five or so hours before the Calgary Stampeders' first-place fate would be determined. "Sometimes when you're in the car trying to get someplace, you run into a detour right?
"A Road Closed sign and you've got to change your plans.
"So if we've got to go by a different road, a little bit out of our way, that's fine.
Asked about the great move, John Hufnagel made a point to mention the great catch.
Such was the day for Calgary Stampeders receiver Joe West on Halloween at McMahon Stadium.
The 42-19 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders was the busiest day of West's four-year tenure with the Stamps, as he was targeted 10 times.
After it was all said and done, he picked up eight catches for 102 yards, with the highlights being a spectacular shake off of a defender to get a touchdown and a great reach for a low pass.
Great work by the coaches and the players again this year.
8-1 at home. Too bad the only loss cost the team first in the West.
I am just a little worried when the Stamps have to face the same opponent twice in a row.
I do hope the team doesn't suffer any significant injuries this weekend in a meaningless game.
I agree; if we can get through this last game injury free I like our chances!
Our guys are being talked about as second tier for the last month of the season which I'm sure will have them motivated while the eskihomos have got a bit of cockiness to them (is that possible for a team that has been that bad for that long and lost 98% of they're games to the stamps over the last 5 years? Oh yeah, it's Edmonton) so I really like our chances all of a sudden; IF we get no more injuries.
Edmonton has barely won their last 4 games mostly due to other teams blunders late in games.
If only the stamps could have that loooong rest period before the playoffs.

24 February 1993 - Bobby Moore No More
On 24 February 1993, 51-year old England and West Ham United legend Bobby Moore died from bowel cancer.
Moore began his professional career in 1958 with West Ham, where he would stay for just over 15 seasons. Despite having fairly average physical talents, he was gifted with an uncanny ability to read the game and anticipate where the ball was going. That, combined with his impeccable timing, made him one of England's top defenders. He earned his first cap for England at 21, and at 22, became the youngest person to captain the English senior side.
He got his first silverware in 1964, when he led the Hammers to the FA Cup trophy, also earning personal accolades as the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year. He followed by helping West Ham to the 1965 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup with a 2-0 win over 1860 Munich. But he is best remembered for captaining England to the World Cup title in 1966, where Moore set up two of England's goals in the 4-2 win over West Germany in the Final. He would go on to make 108 appearances for England, making him England's most-capped player at the time, though Peter Shilton (125) and David Beckham (currently at 115) would later go on to surpass Moore's total.
Moore left West Ham in 1974 for London rivals Fulham, then in the Second Division. In his first season with Fulham, they met West Ham twice, beating them in the League Cup, but losing to the Hammers in the 1975 FA Cup Final. He also spent some time in the US during the English off-season, playing for the San Antonio Thunder and Seattle Sounders before retiring in 1978.
Afterward, Moore spent a brief period in management before moving on to work as a commentator. He made his last public appearance in the commentators' booth for England's match against San Marino on 17 February 1993, one week before his death.

The Republican | Dave Roback02.20.2012 | HOLYOKE - A row of apartments in Lyman Terrace, with Holyoke's City Hall in the distance.
HOLYOKE – Federal approval will be sought next month to demolish the Lyman Terrace Housing Complex because the 74-year-old site has deteriorated, officials said.
Residents of Lyman Terrace like Rosa Cirino told The Republican and MassLive.com last week a demolition plan was unsurprising.
Cirino, 26, who has lived at Lyman Terrace with her two sons for three years, said the complex' plumbing and other features were getting worse.
"It's old, everything's old," Cirino said.
But others said they are determined to force the Holyoke Housing Authority to reconsider eliminating an entire neighborhood of mostly Hispanic residents and instead try to renovate what they believe to be a historic site.
The Republican | Dave Roback02.20.2012 | HOLYOKE - Lyman Terrace resident Rosa Cirino in her apartment.
Dozens of people attended the City Council meeting Tuesday to urge support for Lyman Terrace.
"The demolition of Lyman Terrace would be a destruction of downtown Holyoke's architectural heritage, visual sense of place, working class history and affordable housing at a time when Holyoke's revitalization depends on preserving, rehabilitating, and capitalizing on our historic architecture and infrastructure," City Councilor Rebecca Lisi said in a resolution the council considered Tuesday.
Indeed, to some like Migdalia Luna, 63, Lyman Terrace is just home. Luna has lived there for 20 years.
"I think it's fine. I like it," Luna said.
By March 8, the city and the Housing Authority will ask the Department of Housing and Urban Development for permission to raze the 167 units of connected brick dwellings. The units are in 18 buildings situated in rows bordered by Lyman, Front and John streets in the Downtown Neighborhood.
The goal is to get federal approval for the demolition in four to six months. The complex would be taken down and officials will seek proposals from developers for reuse of the site, said Rosalie M. Deane, housing authority executive director.
The Republican | Greg Saulmon02.21.2012 | HOLYOKE - At-large city councilor Rebecca Lisi speaks at the council's Feb. 21 meeting during a discussion of the proposed demolition of Lyman Terrace.
Lyman Terrace opened in 1938, and Deane said she believes it is one of the oldest housing authority sites in the country.
Among its problems: None of the units complies with federal handicap access rules, plumbing is problematic and many units would fail today's building codes. For example, some are only 500 square feet, she said.
"It's useful life has expired," Deane said.
Some of the common areas around Lyman Terrace units and in alleys behind the buildings were well maintained recently while bags of open trash and haphazardly placed bicycles dotted other areas.
Deane and her staff have discussed the need for Lyman Terrace to be demolished with federal officials in Boston and Washington, D.C., she said.
Housing Authority officials explored renovating Lyman Terrace with environmental, mechanical and hazardous-material firms. But they determined that bringing the 167 units up to current building codes, expanding units' square footage, making interior and exterior structural improvements and providing energy efficiencies would cost $24 million — "well beyond" authority resources, she said.
"This development has outlived its useful life and meets all the criteria of an obsolete project," Deane said.
The Republican | Greg Saulmon02.21.2012 | HOLYOKE - Rick Purcell speaks during a public comment period at the Feb. 21 City Council meeting. Purcell read from -- and criticized -- a Holyoke Housing Authority document that stated the demolition of the 167-unit Lyman Terrace public housing development would have "no significant impact" on people or the community. A copy of the document is embedded at the bottom of this post. A Spanish-language version [pdf] also appears on the Holyoke Housing Authority website.
Some speakers at the City Council meeting objected to wording on a notice dated Feb. 17 that discussed the Housing Authority's demolition plan. Specifically, wording that concerned people stated the demolition will have "no significant impact" on people.
Deane said that is HUD-generated language, not wording produced by the authority or the city.
If the demolition is approved, the 400 people who live at Lyman Terrace would get a choice of moving to the other more than 2,000 units the authority manages or getting a Section 8 rent subsidy to move elsewhere, she said.
But grabbing an open authority-run unit won't be easy because the authority has 98 percent occupancy, she said.
The demolition cost of $1.6 million would come from $860,000 from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and $700,000 in housing authority operating money, officials said.
Sylvia Robello, of St. Kolbe Drive, told the City Council Tuesday that years ago she was president of the first Lyman Terrace tenants association. If Lyman Terrace is destroyed, she said, the Housing Authority doesn't have enough vouchers to help those who would be displaced.
The Republican | Greg Saulmon02.21.2012 | HOLYOKE - Former Lyman Terrace resident Sylvia Robello, left, speaks during the public comment period of the Feb. 21 City Council meeting. Robello was the first president of the Lyman Terrace Tenant's association. Mayor Alex B. Morse, at far right, looks on.
"If these people are to be removed, there would be no place for them to go," Robello said.
Deane said that that was untrue and that the authority has tenant relocation experience.
The Housing Authority will seek additional vouchers from HUD for current Lyman Terrace tenants on top of the existing share of vouchers the authority distributes, she said.
"It's a new allotment of vouchers," Deane said.
Stephen Bosco, of Arrow Properties at 430 Appleton St., said at the City Council meeting that he manages and renovates residential property. "It bothers me when I hear, 'It can't be salvaged, it has to be torn down,'" he said.
Actually, Deane said, the authority has an opinion from the Massachusetts Historical Commission dated Dec. 6 that says Lyman Terrace lacks historical significance.
"After review of (commission) files and the materials you submitted, it has been determined that this project is unlikely to affect significant historic or archaeological resources," Brandee Loughlin, preservation planner for the Massachusetts Historical Commission, states in the inscription stamped on a demolition notification.
Below, documents pertaining to the proposed demolition of Lyman Terrace.
The second document was provided to the Massachusetts Historical Commission by Holyoke's Office for Community Development as part of a review of the historical value of Lyman Terrace. The historical commission ruled -- as shown in a stamp on the document's first page -- that the demolition of Lyman Terrace would be "...unlikely to affect significant historical or archaeological resources."


The Ith-Hils Trail is close to Hamelin, the town of the famous Pied Piper. Perhaps the legendary rat-catcher also trekked across the peaks of the two ridges. The Ith and the Hils are both fantastic for climbing. The rocks even have funny names: "Adam und Eva" (Adam and Eve), "Kamel" (Camel) and "Teufelsküche" (Devil's Kitchen). So when hiking, you can tell the story of how Adam and Eve roasted a camel in the devil's kitchen. Yet there are also caves, vast forestland and a few observation towers with panoramic views.
On the ridge of the Ith-Hils Trail, enjoying nature is top priority. We find cosy taverns and elegant hotels in Coppenbrügge, Delligsen and Salzhemmendorf at the foot of the two hills.
"I recommend the Ith-Hils trail from Humboldtsee lake to Eschershausen. There are many attractions to discover along these 17 kilometres, including cliffs such as the Wilhelm-Raabe-Klippen, several caves and a Wasserbaum water feature with water bubbling from the top."

I tried to apply  border-collapse: collapse to .Forum. However, it didn't work and it block the outer div also.
How can I fix it? Thank you!

A: It's just because You defined border property very early  border: 10px; this will create a border with 10px width but no style and no color, so You should create a rule to override this. That can be done by give rule more specifically or by using !important attribute. here I demonstrate the solution using !important attribute.

Microsoft to open source .NET, goes OS-agnostic and delivers free Visual Studio solution
By Desire Athow 13 November 2014
Quite a shocker for everyone
It's going open source
After making Office for Android and iOS free last week, Microsoft has shaken the developer world this time around by making .NET open source, committing to make it run on Linux and Mac OS X and giving away a special version of its flagship developer application, Visual Studio.
Soma Somasegar, Microsoft's Corporate Vice President for its developer division, confirmed that the entire .NET core server stack would be eventually open-sourced under the MIT open source license.
The development platform will also be embracing other platforms outside Windows with Linux and Mac OS X coming with Android and iOS likely to be next.
Somasegar also confirmed that Microsoft would produce a free, fully featured edition of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Community 2013 which would be free for non-enterprise application development.
He also provided more details on the forthcoming Visual Studio 2015 as well as .NET 2015. Perhaps the single biggest improvement is the fact that it is pushing other mobile device platforms as well (iOS and Android).
This is a massive bet for Microsoft, a company that has changed a lot since Satya Nadella took over, so much so that even the director of Linux Foundation, Jim Zemlin, acknowledges that the new Microsoft is "certainly a different organization when it comes to open source".

Try this candle spell using the element of Fire to reverse any negativity or hexes you become aware of being sent in your direction. Anger from others can often be dealt with in this way, but deliberate maliciousness may require more force. You need to be as dispassionate as you can when dealing with a hex, which is defined as 'an evil spell'.
Visualize all blocks in your life-path being removed. Anoint your candle with the oil. On the piece of paper write in black ink: "All blocks are now removed". Fold the paper three times away from you. Light the candle and burn the paper in your dish.
Invoke the power of Fire and its Elemental spirits by repeating three times: "Firedrakes and salamanders, Aid me in my quest, Protect me from all evil thoughts. Turn away and send back this hex". After the third repetition close the spell in whatever way is appropriate for you.
A simple statement is enough: "Let it be so". No-one has the right to curse or malign another person and all you are doing with this spell is turning the negativity back where it belongs. When you use the power of Fire you are harnessing one of the most potent forces of the universe, so be sure you use it wisely and well.

Free broadband access is now a human right, no matter who pays the bills
Image: © JinnaritT/Stock.adobe.com
Dr Merten Reglitz of the University of Birmingham writes that broadband is now as fundamental a right as water given its influence on our world.
A version of this article was originally published by The Conversation (CC BY-ND 4.0)
The UK Labour Party is promising to provide free broadband internet to every British household by 2030 if it wins the 2019 election. To do this, the party would nationalise the broadband infrastructure business of BT and tax internet giants like Google and Facebook. Whatever you think of this plan, it at least reflects that the internet has become not only an essential utility for conducting daily life, but also crucial for exercising our political rights.
In fact, I recently published research that shows why internet access should be considered a human right and a universal entitlement. And for that reason, it ought to be provided free to those who can't afford it, not just in the UK, but around the world.
Internet access is today necessary for leading a minimally decent life, which doesn't just mean survival but rather includes political rights that allow us to influence the rules that shape our lives and hold authorities accountable. That is why rights such as free speech, free association, and free information are among the central rights included in the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights. And, crucially, everyone needs to have roughly equal opportunities to exercise their political rights.
Ramifications on politics post-internet
Before the internet, most people in democracies had roughly equal opportunities to exercise their political rights. They could vote, write to newspapers or their political representative, attend public meetings and join organisations.
But when some people gained internet access, their opportunities to exercise political rights became much greater compared to those without the internet. They could publish their views online for potentially millions of people to see, join forces with other people without having to physically attend regular meetings, and obtain a wealth of previously inaccessible political information.
Today, a large proportion of our political debates take place online, so in some ways our political rights can only be exercised via the internet. This means internet access is required for people to have roughly equal opportunities to make use of their political freedoms, and why we should recognise internet access as a human right.
As a human right, internet access should be 'free' in two ways. First, it should be unmonitored, uncensored and uninterrupted – as the UN's General Assembly has demanded in a non-binding resolution in 2016.
Second, governments should guarantee a minimally decent infrastructure that is available to all citizens no matter how much money they have. This means funding for internet access should be part of minimum welfare benefits, provided without charge to those who can't afford to pay for it, just like legal counsel. This is already the case in Germany.
Starting off with the basics
In developing countries, digital infrastructure reaching everyone might be too expensive to guarantee immediately. But with the required technology becoming cheaper (more people on the planet have access to a web-capable phone than have access to clean water and a toilet), universal access could first be guaranteed via free Wi-Fi in public places. Supply can start off in a basic way and grow over time.
Still, expensive infrastructure isn't the sole obstacle to universal access in developing nations. The spread of the internet could also be increased by promoting gender equality and literacy and digital skills. Developed nations ought to support these efforts by honouring their commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Should everyone in Britain have free broadband in their homes? There are many good reasons to provide the best possible internet access to everyone, such as increasing economic productivity, sharing prosperity more evenly across the country, or promoting opportunities for social engagement and civic participation. And, as such, free broadband for all may be a worthy political goal.
But what is most important is ensuring that everyone has the kind of internet access required for roughly equal opportunities to use their political freedoms. Guaranteed internet access should be considered a human right in our virtual world, whoever ultimately pays the bills.
