Bill Grays would fill the space vacated by Mom's Margios and Cheeburger Cheeburger.
Bill Gray's plans to open at the Port of Rochester — a move that would help raise occupancy of the terminal building to its highest point since the days of the fast ferry.
The popular local restaurant chain would invest $1.2 million on renovations of the former Mom's Margios Diner and Retro Lounge that previously was Cheeburger Cheeburger. The new space will extend into the existing central lobby or mezzanine.
"Everyone knows the spot," said Jon Gonzalez, vice president of finance with Bill Gray's. "It's always been such a unique building and area. And now, especially, the way they have put together the new port."
The "new" port includes a marina, opened in 2016, that for the first time has rented out all its seasonal slips for the boating season — and did so last fall. California Rollin II is planning an expansion. Arbor Loft recently got approved to lease the departure hall for event space. And Jetty at the Port is undergoing a renovation upstairs, creating a two-sided bar that will make greater use of the riverfront balcony, officials said.
But the terminal building isn't the only spot seeing change.
Nearby, the former Water Front restaurant and bar is being remade into a fine-dining Greek restaurant, set to open at the end of April. The restaurant will be called Kainos.
"In ancient Greek, that means 'new and fresh,' " said Kainos operations manager Jeffrey Scott, who formerly operated Mom's Margios.
Fitting, for an area that saw great investment with the ferry, floundered with its departure in 2006, was disrupted with construction of the marina, and now is hitting stride. There also will be new amenities, with a new overlook on the western shore of the Genesee River to be completed this summer, reusing the abutment and trestle remnant of the former Hojack swing bridge.
Mayor Lovely Warren sent City Council the proposed lease terms for Bill Gray's this week, seeking an initial five-year term with optional renewals effective May 1. The monthly rate would be $3,830, or $10 per square foot, and cut in half during the winter months if the restaurant stays open, or reduced to nothing if it closes, records show.
Council members will consider the lease and could vote to approve it in April.
Lease of that space became an issue with Scott, who agreed to $15 per square foot, had delayed opening but claimed the city balked when he then sought a rent reduction during the winter months. The city ultimately forced him out. He now has a lease more to his liking, and reflective of Bill Gray's, in his new location.
"The more businesses that are down here, the better all of us are," he said. "I wish them the best of luck."
The arrival of an established restaurateur is "pivotal for this area," said Marianne Warfle, marina manager and head of the Port of Rochester Merchants Association. The proposed lease terms project out through 2028.
Abbot's Frozen Custard, which often partners with and locates inside Bill Gray's restaurants, will maintain their separate location at the terminal, officials said.


In a place called Toraja located in Indonesia the dead walk the Earth. This area is 793 square miles long and what happens here is nothing short of a zombie movie. The dead are exhumed and walked back literally to their home originating where they died. Families here through various ceremonies will groom and dress their fallen friends and family. They will dig their grave up and dress the dead in new fancy clothes. Dead children are also dressed and damaged coffins are then replaced.
The ritual performed is known as Ma'nene also known as "The Ceremony of Cleaning Corpses". From the beliefs of the ancient Torajan tradition, the dead person must return to their village of origin. If this happens in a families lifetime; they will accompany the deceased back home escorting them, making sure they get back to their village. Back in time, these events rarely happened for those venturing far away. People were frightened to go very far fearing they would not be able to return to their village.
Years ago villages were more difficult to get to, traveling was a real burden for people. It was often very difficult for family members to carry the corpses of their beloved ones. This mobile type service for the dead raises controversy in their culture. Some believe this tradition should be ended and the dead should remain at peace buried in the Earth. A giant stone wall with wooden effigies known as tau-tau are created for high society members.
This area is home to the Toraja ethic group of people. The government here is located in Makale and the cultural centerpiece is the center of Rantepao also located in Indonesia. The living population here is around 220,000 people.

Is it not possible to get the liberation within one's present life? Because Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita that any amount of sin is pardonable if one is surrendered to Him. What exactly is total surrender to God? Please explain.
In AYP we look at yoga from the point of view of the nervous system being purified and opened. The condition of the neuro-biology is related to mind, body and karma. All of these are involved. Yoga helps the nervous system to purify and open in a natural way, which it wants to do. Then karma (samskara - latent impressions) is dissolved and the quality of mind and body are improved at the same time. It is all tied together like that -- all are aspects of the same thing, the condition of our nervous system.
Self-pacing in practices is an important part of this, because each person has a unique capacity for purification. Self-pacing is for determining how much practice is enough, and how much is too much. So we find our own balance in practices with self-pacing. Very important, and it is discussed in the AYP lessons a lot. The limits have to do with our capacity to "conduct" divine energy. The more the obstructions are removed in our nervous system, the more we can conduct divine energy. When the energy moving inside becomes ecstatic, we call it "ecstatic conductivity." That is the safe and enjoyable rise of kundalini. It is a gradual process of inner cleansing, leading to steadily more inner realization, ecstatic bliss and divine love pouring out. That is what yoga is for.
The concept of "sin" is a human invention, and often used by organized religion to subjugate followers. See lesson #132 on that. I am not for the concept of sin, which can hold people back from pursuing their divine destiny. Obstructions can be removed in the nervous system, and, yes, it can all be done in one lifetime. Even if not, huge progress can be accomplished with daily yoga practices, so the next life will be much closer to enlightenment than this one (see lesson #74). It is up to each person. In the Gita, Krishna says even a little yoga removes many lifetimes of karma. It is true. If we open the door of our nervous system just a little with a few months of daily deep meditation, the divine light will come streaming in. It is definitely worth doing. In the Gita, Krishna encourages us to get on with it, yes? Surrendering to Him (or whoever/whatever our chosen ideal is) is to undertake the daily disciplines of yoga. Then our heart overflows more each day with love and surrender to God in and around us.
Total surrender to God is to become the divine, which is our essential nature. It is a gradual development. It does not happen in one day. It goes by degrees. First we surrender to the ideal of becoming more -- maybe just to the question, "Who am I, and why am I here?" With this thread of surrender we can be inspired to begin daily practice of meditation. Then, with some inner silence coming up, we can surrender to adding pranayama. Then this can lead to other practices, etc. At some point the divine ecstasy rises in us, and then we become sold out to the ecstatic energies visibly transforming us from within. Total surrender comes step by step with our advancing experiences. To have advancing experiences we need to be doing daily practices. So surrender and daily practice go hand in hand. This is why desire becoming devotion to an ideal is discussed from the beginning in the AYP lessons. We cultivate direct experience every step along the way, and surrender comes along with it through the connectedness of yoga. See lesson #149 on how the different aspects of yoga connect through our nervous system. Eventually our experience rises to the level of unshakable inner silence, ecstatic bliss and outpouring divine love. By then we have become that which we have been surrendering to. Total surrender is enlightenment. It is immutable, beyond all affirmations and strategies of the mind. Total surrender is a heart constantly overflowing with divine love.
Note: For detailed discussion on the relationship of surrender and enlightenment, see the AYP Bhakti and Karma Yoga book. For detailed instructions on building a balanced daily practice routine with self-pacing, see the Eight Limbs of Yoga Book. Also see AYP Plus.

The USTA today announced that 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams will be a part of the United States Fed Cup Team that takes on Latvia in a Fed Cup Qualifying competition February 7-8 at Angel Of The Winds Arena in Everett, Wash.
Williams last played Fed Cup in February 2018 in her competitive return to tennis following the birth of her daughter. She's 13-0 in singles and 3-2 in doubles over 10 Fed Cup ties played since 1999, when she and sister Venus were a part of the Americans' Fed Cup title-winning team. Williams is currently ranked No. 9 and won her 73rd career WTA singles title last week in Auckland, New Zealand.
The Qualifying competition vs. Latvia is a best-of-five match series played over two days, with each country bringing a team of four or five players. The 'tie,' as it's called, begins at 7 p.m. Friday, February 7, with two singles matches between each country's No. 1- and No. 2-nominated players. Two reverse singles matches, between each country's No. 1s and each country's No. 2s, and the doubles match will follow at 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 8.
The winner of this matchup advances to the 2020 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas Finals April 14-19 in Budapest, Hungary – a new format for the Finals similar to the World Cup in which 12 nations converge on one venue to compete for the title.
The U.S. team can feature as many as five players, and the final nominations must be made by 10 a.m. ET on Tuesday, January 28. The U.S. currently has seven players in the Top 30 of the world rankings.
Matches will be played at Angel Of The Winds Arena on a temporary indoor hard court, with an amended schedule possible for Saturday should one nation clinch victory in the third or fourth singles match.
Tickets can be purchased at usta.com/fedcup. Two-day ticket packages for both Friday and Saturday – the best initial ticket value – will be sold at prices ranging from $50 to $250 or $25 to $125 per day. Single-day tickets for Friday or Saturday will be sold with prices ranging from $30 to $135 per day. Visit usta.com/fedcup for more information.

Q: GitHub Action I wrote doesn't have access to repo's files that is calling the action A sample repo with the directory structure of what I'm working on is on GitHub here. To run the GitHub Action, you just need to go to the Action tab of the repo and run the Action manually.

I have a custom GitHub Action I've written as well with python as the base image in the Docker container but want the python version to be an input for the GitHub Action. In order to do so, I am creating a second intermediate Docker container to run with the python version input argument.
The problem I'm running into is I don't have access to the original repo's files that is calling the GitHub Action. For example, say the repo is called python-sample-project and has folder structure:
python-sample-project
│   main.py
│   file1.py
│
└───folder1
│   │   file2.py

I see main.py, file1.py, and folder1/file2.py in entrypoint.sh. However, in docker-action/entrypoint.sh I only see the linux folder structure and the entrypoint.sh file copied over in docker-action/Dockerfile.
In the Alpine example I'm using, the action entrypoint.sh script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh -l
ALPINE_VERSION=$1
cd /docker-action
docker build -t docker-action --build-arg alpine_version="$ALPINE_VERSION" . && docker run docker-action

In docker-action/ I have a Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh script that should run for the inner container with the dynamic version of Alpine (or Python)
The docker-action/Dockerfile is as follows:
# Container image that runs your code
ARG alpine_version
FROM alpine:${alpine_version}

# Copies your code file from your action repository to the filesystem path `/` of the container
COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh

RUN ["chmod", "+x", "/entrypoint.sh"]

# Code file to execute when the docker container starts up (`entrypoint.sh`)
ENTRYPOINT ["/entrypoint.sh"]

In the docker-action/entrypoint I run ls but I do not see the repository files.
Is it possible to access the main.py, file1.py, and folder1/file2.py in entrypoint.sh in the docker-action/entrypoint.sh?

A: There's generally two ways to get files from your repository available to a docker container you build and run. You either (1) add the files to the image when you build it or (2) mount the files into the container when you run it. There are some other ways, like specifying volumes, but that's probably out of scope for this case.
The Dockerfile docker-action/Dockerfile does not copy any files except for the entrypoint.sh script. Your entrypoint.sh also does not provide any mount points when running the container. Hence, the outcome you observe is the expected outcome based on these facts.
In order to resolve this, you must either (1) add COPY/ADD statements to your Dockerfile to copy files into the image (and set appropriate build context) OR (2)  mount the files into the container when it runs by adding -v /source-path:/container-path to the docker run command in your entrypoint.sh.
See references:

*

*COPY reference

*Docker run reference
Though, this approach of building another container just to get a user-provided python version is a highly questionable practice for GitHub Actions and should probably be avoided. Consider leaning on the setup-python action instead.
The docker-in-docker problem
Nevertheless, if you continue this route and want to go about mounting the directory, you'll have to keep in mind that, when invoking docker from within a docker action on GitHub, the filesystem in the mount specification refers to the filesystem of the docker host, not the filesystem of the container.
It works on my machine?!
Counter to what you might experience running docker on a local system for example, this does not work in GitHub -- the working directory is not mounted:
docker run -v $(pwd):/opt/workspace \
           --workdir /opt/workspace \
           --entrypoint /bin/ls \
           my-container "-R"

This doesn't work either:
docker run -v $GITHUB_WORKSPACE:$GITHUB_WORKSPACE \
           --workdir $GITHUB_WORKSPACE \
           --entrypoint /bin/ls \
           my-container "-R"

This kind of thing would work perfectly fine if you tried it on a system running docker locally. What gives?
Dealing with the devil (daemon)
In Actions, the starting working directory where files are checked out into $GITHUB_WORKSPACE. In docker actions, that's /github/workspace. The workspace files populate into the workspace when your action runs by the Actions runner mounting the workspace from the host where the docker daemon is running.
You can see that in the command run when your action starts:
/usr/bin/docker run --name f884202608aa2bfab75b6b7e1f87b3cd153444_f687df --label f88420 --workdir /github/workspace --rm -e INPUT_ALPINE-VERSION -e HOME -e GITHUB_JOB -e GITHUB_REF -e GITHUB_SHA -e GITHUB_REPOSITORY -e GITHUB_REPOSITORY_OWNER -e GITHUB_RUN_ID -e GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER -e GITHUB_RETENTION_DAYS -e GITHUB_RUN_ATTEMPT -e GITHUB_ACTOR -e GITHUB_WORKFLOW -e GITHUB_HEAD_REF -e GITHUB_BASE_REF -e GITHUB_EVENT_NAME -e GITHUB_SERVER_URL -e GITHUB_API_URL -e GITHUB_GRAPHQL_URL -e GITHUB_WORKSPACE -e GITHUB_ACTION -e GITHUB_EVENT_PATH -e GITHUB_ACTION_REPOSITORY -e GITHUB_ACTION_REF -e GITHUB_PATH -e GITHUB_ENV -e RUNNER_OS -e RUNNER_NAME -e RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE -e RUNNER_TEMP -e RUNNER_WORKSPACE -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_URL -e ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN -e ACTIONS_CACHE_URL -e GITHUB_ACTIONS=true -e CI=true -v "/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_home":"/github/home" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_github_workflow":"/github/workflow" -v "/home/runner/work/_temp/_runner_file_commands":"/github/file_commands" -v "/home/runner/work/my-repo/my-repo":"/github/workspace" f88420:2608aa2bfab75b6b7e1f87b3cd153444  "3.9.5"

The important bits are this:
-v "/home/runner/work/my-repo/my-repo":"/github/workspace"
-v "/var/run/docker.sock":"/var/run/docker.sock"

/home/runner/work/my-repo/my-repo is the path on the host, where the repository files are. As mentioned, that first line is what gets it mounted into /github/workspace in your action container when it gets run.
The second line is mounting the docker socket from the host to the action container. This means any time you call docker within your action, you're actually talking to the docker daemon outside of your container. This is important because that means when you use the -v argument inside your action, the arguments need to reflect directories that exist outside of the container.
So, what you would actually need to do instead is this:
docker run -v /home/runner/work/my-repo/my-repo:/opt/workspace \
           --workdir /opt/workspace \
           --entrypoint /bin/ls \
           my-container "-R"

Becoming useful to others
And that works. If you only use it for the project itself. However, you have (among others) a remaining problem if you want this action to be consumable by other projects. How do you know where the workspace is on the host? This path will change for each repository, after all. GitHub does not guarantee these paths, either. They may be different on different platforms, or your action may be running on a self-hosted runner.
So how do you content with that problem? There is no inbuilt environment variable that points to this directory you need specifically, unfortunately. However, by relying on implementation detail, you might be able to get away with using the $RUNNER_WORKSPACE variable, which will point, in this case to /home/runner/work/your-project. This is not the same place as the origin of $GITHUB_WORKSPACE but it's close. You can use the GITHUB_REPOSITORY variable to build the path, though this isn't guaranteed to always be the case afaik:
PROJECT_NAME="$(basename ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY})"
WORKSPACE="${RUNNER_WORKSPACE}/${PROJECT_NAME}"

You also have some other things to fix like the working directory form which you build.
TL;DR
You need to mount files in the container when you run it. In GitHub, you're running docker-in-docker, so paths you need to use to mount files work different, so you need to find the correct paths to pass to docker when called from within your action container.
A minimally working solution for the example project you linked is this entrypoint.sh in the root of the repo looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
ALPINE_VERSION=$1

docker build -t docker-action \
             -f ./docker-action/Dockerfile \
             --build-arg alpine_version="$ALPINE_VERSION" \
             ./docker-action

PROJECT_NAME="$(basename ${GITHUB_REPOSITORY})"
WORKSPACE="${RUNNER_WORKSPACE}/${PROJECT_NAME}"

docker run --workdir=$GITHUB_WORKSPACE \
           -v $WORKSPACE:$GITHUB_WORKSPACE \
           docker-action "$@"

There are probably further concerns with your action, depending on what it does, like making available all the default and user-defined environment variables for the action to the 'inner' container, if that's important.
So, is this possible? Sure. Is it reasonable just to get a dynamic version of alpine/python? I don't think so. There's probably better ways of accomplishing what you want to do, like using setup-python, but that sounds like a different question.

While you can do things to try and prevent Ransomware, it is best to take a proactive approach on how you will recover from a Ransomware attack. Pretend that you are going to be hit with a Ransomware attack tomorrow. What will you do today to prepare for the recovery? I find that the best approach to an attack is to have a good off-site backup in place so you can just remove the infected computer and restore your files to the last restore point.
Having multiple full backups and doing daily incremental backups will help prevent your data from being lost. At most, you will lose 24-hours of work if you do a nightly backup, none if you are doing the backups in the middle of the night and you figure out that you have an issue first thing in the morning.
Pay Your Employees, not the Hacker!
It is a lot less expensive to recreate 24-hours of information than it is to pay the ransom to "maybe" get your files recovered. Remember, these are the same dishonest people who encrypted your files in the first place. They are under no obligation to honor their side of the bargain by giving you the encryption code.
Taking the proactive approach utilizing backups, as mentioned above, is only part of the equation. You should still make every attempt to NOT let your data become a victim of Ransomware in the first place by securing your network at the gateway and making sure all of your servers and workstations are properly protected physically and digitally.
We offer a Gateway Security Appliance that filters all of the data flowing in and out of your network to help prevent hackers from gaining access to your data. If you are concerned that your business is in danger of becoming a victim of Ransomware please schedule a consult and we can help you develop a plan.

"America's Pastor", the Rev. Billy Graham, Laid to Rest Friday in Simple Casket Following Gospel-Focused Funeral
The casket of the Rev. Billy Graham is moved during his funeral service at the Billy Graham Library on Friday in Charlotte, N.C.
Chuck Burton/AP
Some 2,300 guests sat under a symbolic large white canvas tent in Charlotte, N.C., for the Rev. Billy Graham's funeral service on Friday.
The setting evoked the "canvas cathedral" — two circus tents pitched together in Los Angeles in 1949 — to shelter the thousands of people who came to watch Graham preach, according to the Billy Graham Library. "The Los Angeles Crusade," eight weeks of services, would help raise Graham to national prominence.
Friday's funeral for the man who came to be known as America's Pastor was private, but many people were thought to have watched online, said the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Graham died Feb. 21 at his home in Montreat, N.C., at the age of 99.
His roots began humbly not far away. As a boy he milked cows on his family farm. But as Tom Gjelten has reported, over the course of a more than six-decade-long career, Graham grew to become the most famous minister of his time, changing "the face of evangelical Christianity in America."
The media of television and radio helped him spread his gospel message farther. Some 20 million people in 185 countries would hear Graham preach, Tom reports.
Graham was also something of a regular at the White House, beginning during the post-World War II era, he met every president and served as counselor to several.
President Trump and Melania Trump sat in the front row of Graham's funeral service Friday. Vice President Pence and his wife, Karen, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, were also there.

Trump said Wednesday that as a boy he saw Graham preach one of a series of sermons at Yankee Stadium in 1957, the closing rally of the New York Crusade.
Graham's son, Franklin, delivered the eulogy Friday.
"The Billy Graham that the world saw on television, the Billy Graham that the world saw in the big stadiums, was the same Billy Graham that we saw at home," Franklin said.
"There weren't two Billy Grahams."
He said that in the last year of his father's life, the man known for his words, "said very little at all."
What he would say, according to Franklin Graham, was, "'I'm not afraid to die for I know the joys of heaven are waiting.'"
"If he could speak to you today," Franklin Graham said, "he would ask, will you be making this journey to heaven? My father's greatest longing has been granted."
The funeral closed a multi-day farewell to the evangelical minister that included a motorcade procession though his beloved home state, a public viewing and a ceremony on Capitol Hill Wednesday, where his remains laid in honor — a rare tribute for a private citizen.
Bagpipers closed the funeral service with a rendition of "Amazing Grace" as Graham's casket was moved away.
It is made of pine with a cross nailed on top and was crafted in 2006 by prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said Billy Graham saw the prisoners at work during a 2005 engagement and was struck.
"I liked the simple coffin with a cross on top," he said in 2006.
Billy Graham's final resting place place is in the Billy Graham Library's Prayer Garden, beside his wife, Ruth, who died in 2007.

Q: How to set the size of LineRenderer from script? Hello :) My code below works fine. It can create a line renderer if you add gameobjects manually. What I want to know though is how to set the size dynamically of my points. Here's a sample pic of what I'm talking about. On the bottom of the inspector, I can set the size of my points, sure. What I'm trying to do is how to code the size as, example 10 and not through the inspector.
How can I set the size of the points of the line renderer?
Here is my code:
public class Example : MonoBehaviour {
    LineRenderer lineRenderer;
    public Transform[] points;
    private Vector3[] vP;
    int seg;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    lineRenderer = GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
    Lines();
}

public void Lines() {
    seg = points.Length;
    vP = new Vector3[points.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
    {
        vP[i] = points[i].position;
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < seg; i++)
    {
        float t = i / (float)seg;
        lineRenderer.numPositions = vP.Length;
        lineRenderer.SetPositions(vP);
    }

}

}

A: The LineRenderer.startWidth and LineRenderer.endWidth variabls are used to set the size of the LineRenderer.
The 0.2f value seems to be fine for this.
public void Lines()
{
    lineRenderer.startWidth = 0.2f;
    lineRenderer.endWidth = 0.2f;

    seg = points.Length;
    vP = new Vector3[points.Length];
    for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
    {
        vP[i] = points[i].position;
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < seg; i++)
    {
        float t = i / (float)seg;
        lineRenderer.numPositions = vP.Length;
        lineRenderer.SetPositions(vP);
    }
}

You can also use the LineRenderer.widthMultiplier variable but that's not necessary.
EDIT:
You just want to set the size of the points variable from code instead of Editor. Just do this:
int size = 10;
points = new Transform[size];

then loop over the points variable and fill the point's transform
for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
{
    points[i] = theGameObjectTransformToUse.transform;
}

If you don't have a Transform to fill it, you can create dummy GameObjects and use their transforms them to fill it.
for (int i = 0; i < points.Length; i++)
{
    GameObject tempObj = new GameObject("dummy" + i);
    tempObj.transform.position = yourNewPostion;
    points[i] = tempObj.transform;
}

Note:
lineRenderer.numPositions = vP.Length; should be outside and before the for loop. It is unnecessary to do that in the for loop. You only need to set that once.

Paul Mayson and singer Zac Pajak combine for a dose of Deep, soulful grooves on 'Don't let me down'
MUMBAI: Entrenched in love of house music, the musical landscape in Paul Mayson's head is one rich in a commix of sounds and influences. From remaking Cher's iconic track 'Believe' together with Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Saint Sinner to dropping his soulful house anthem 'Can't Trust The Way I Feel', the Dutch DJ/Producer now takes listeners on a timeless funk-filled voyage with his latest single 'Don't Let Me Down', featuring UK singer/songwriter Zac Pajak at the helm on vocals.
The track incorporates delicate house grooves, warm chords, and soulful samples, whilst Mayson pushes Zac out of his pop comfort zone to achieve a resounding performance from the gifted singer. It's a delectable track with brilliant production touches that contribute to 'Don't Let Me Down' perhaps being Paul's most superior dance record after signing with Sony Music and embarking on a new chapter in 2021.
Mayson's early years in the studio were spent co-producing and co-writing for American pop and hip-hop artists such as Yelawolf, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony and Far East Movement. Today he is dedicated to sharing his love for house music and is deep into music discovery and crate digging, constantly seeking out new ideas and sounds from old records and fusing genres and styles. Stripping it back to its core and unpicking everything with sampling and programming at the heart of his music, Mayson's creative exploration is paying off. He recently got picked up by MTV to become their MTV Push Artist of the month for August and positioned himself as one of the most exciting and innovative dance music talents out of The Netherlands right now.
Talking about the process behind 'Don't Let Me Down', Paul said: "As I always try to keep pushing my boundaries as a producer and songwriter, I wanted to create a unique mix of different elements and incorporate some of the timeless sounds of R&B and soul into a house music production. The song was written in the autumn, and it definitely has that cosy feeling that fits the time of the year we're entering now."
"Working with Zac was great, we started writing the vocals together in Amsterdam and we instantly connected. I flew over to London after that and finished the song with him. We really pushed each other creatively.", added Mayson about Zac's involvement on 'Don't Let Me Down'. Since releasing his debut single 'Again' in 2019, Zac Pajak's music has led him to perform live shows everywhere from Glastonbury to London's Roundhouse and contribute to hit music for artists as diverse as Major Lazer, Raye and McFly and continue to deliver his own brilliantly observed, expressive releases.
Paul Mayson & Zac Pajak's 'Don't Let Me Down' is out now via Sony Music.

Sharing a Vision:
AMBER Advocate | January 2, 2019
Bringing AMBER Alert to Indian Country, Building Comprehensive Child Recovery Strategies through State-Tribal Partnerships
A new law born from the tragic abduction and murder of 11-year-old Ashlynne Mike allows for increased collaboration, expanded resources, and thoughtful measures to protect children on tribal lands.
As leaders from myriad Arizona tribes converse with Arizona public safety officials at the We-Ko-Pa Resort and Conference Center at Fort McDowell, Arizona, one thing becomes clear: They each bring with them different life experiences. But they're bonded by a common belief: "That protection of our children is number one," says Deb Nez Manuel, a Navajo political activist and advocate with the multi-tribe Morning Star Leaders Youth Council. "So is understanding our strength when we come together" to prevent and solve child abduction-related crimes, she adds.
Manuel is one of 60-plus people instrumental in the success of child recovery systems who attended the "Implementing AMBER Alert in Indian Country" training event in Fort McDowell, Arizona, Sept. 25-26, 2018. The free two-day workshop was held in support of the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act, signed into law in April 2018. Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the law provides training and other resources for America's 567 federally recognized tribal lands to utilize AMBER Alert systems.
On the training front, events similar to the brainstorming and networking session at Fort McDowell will be held throughout 2019 to ensure tribes can successfully develop comprehensive and collaborative child protection strategies that include AMBER Alert capabilities. Additionally, these events will help tribes prepare to assess resource, technology, and staffing needs; learn about multiple training options and online resources free for use; plan for community education and assistance; and contemplate lessons gleaned from the 2008-2010 AMBER in Indian Country pilot project. With each event held, the body of knowledge, insights and lessons learned will grow, fortifying a shared commitment to AMBER Alert in Indian Country across North America.
The Ultimate Goal
In discussing the ultimate goal of the AMBER Alert in Indian Country initiative, Jim Walters, Program Administrator for the AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program (AATTAP), explained that it is to "connect, collaborate and build a truly cohesive network of AMBER Alert systems to protect Native children."
Though a positive step forward in protecting Native children, the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country law was born from the tragic death of its young namesake. In May 2016, 11-year-old Ashlynne and her younger brother, Ian, were abducted while heading home from school. While Ian managed to escape his captor and report the kidnapping to a couple who discovered him wandering the desert in search of help, unfortunately Ashlynne would be sexually assaulted, bludgeoned, and left alone to die in a remote area of desert near the Shiprock Pinnacle on the Navajo Reservation, within 30 miles of her home.
Ashlynne's case, considered one of the worst crimes ever to hit the Navajo Nation, revealed a number of obstacles and recovery effort delays resulting from the Navajo Nation not having an AMBER Alert system in place for use on the largest reservation in America. Ashlynne's death, and the dangerous conditions it exposed, would shake to the core not only Ashlynne's family, but also tribal communities around the nation, whose members collectively recognized an urgent need to strengthen child recovery systems on Native lands.
Following Ashlynne's murder, her mother, Pamela Foster, embarked on a tireless, 18-month campaign for legislative reform that ultimately would be championed by the late Arizona Senator John McCain and a bipartisan group in Congress. The Bill created received widespread support from the National Congress of American Indians, the Inter-Tribal Council of Arizona, the Navajo Nation, and the Hopi Tribe and many others.
By February 2018, the Navajo Nation had implemented an emergency alert system capable of issuing AMBER Alerts and other urgent notifications to the 11 counties within its tribal boundaries.
Something Positive from the Pain
Though human rights advocate Cindy McCain, wife of the late Senator John McCain, had planned to attend the "Implementing AMBER Alert" event, her husband's death in the weeks prior would prevent that. Generously in that difficult time, Mrs. McCain developed and shared an inspirational message for attendees that was read by Jim Walters at the event. She went on to record a video message that will benefit AMBER Alert in Indian Country partners and training participants for months to come.
"It's fitting that this begins in Arizona," said Mrs. McCain, chair of the McCain Institute at Arizona State University. "I've worked many years with the AMBER Alert training team toward our mutual goal of reducing and eliminating child sex trafficking and protecting our most vulnerable youth." But for the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act to succeed, she noted, "it will take all of us, doing what we can."
In her message, Mrs. McCain then recognized and thanked Ashlynne's mother for her courage and tenacity. In turn, Foster paid respect to the McCain family when speaking to event participants, offering condolence for their recent loss and gratitude for their continued dedication to helping others.
"While I never had the opportunity to meet Senator McCain, I know he was a great man and a true hero," Foster said at the start of the conference. "It was through his voice that lawmakers were able to learn about the problems on our reservations, and the need for AMBER Alert. I am living proof of his commitment to his constituents. I'm also happy the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country Act is part of his legacy."
As she told her story to a riveted audience, Foster relived her anguished efforts to find Ashlynne after her disappearance.
"It's been two years, four months & 23 days since the last time we saw Ashlynne – the last time she hugged us, she laughed, she talked with family," she said. "Since Ashlynne's voice was taken from her, though, I would become her voice. All I could do was to try to make something positive out of the pain."
And that she did – lobbying state and national law makers for more than a year to do everything possible to keep other Native families from ever experiencing the chaos and grief she and her family endured.
"Thanks to a mother's love," Walters said of Pamela's tireless, eloquent and heartfelt actions, "Ashlynne's story created the momentum to make this a reality."
Challenges and Collaboration
Key to successfully implementing the Ashlynne Mike AMBER Alert in Indian Country law "is making sure everybody's aware of the law," Walters told those in attendance. "Leaders first need to assess community needs, set policies, and create ordinances. Then they need to educate the public, foster their support, and help everyone understand what resources are available."
Breakout sessions designed to delve into those needs prompted a discussion of real and perceived challenges associated with implementing AMBER Alerts. Most-cited concerns included a lack of understanding about AMBER Alert systems protocols and contacts; inadequate funding to hire first responders; and inability to acquire advanced technology capable of reaching other law enforcement agencies and residents of reservations who live within vast geographic expanses often with difficult terrain. The Navajo Nation, for instance, encompasses both mountainous and cavernous terrains within its territory, spanning 27,000 square miles across Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
Having the right training and equipment can mean the difference between life and death, said Gilbert Orrantia, Director of Homeland Security for the State of Arizona and Co-Chair of the Governor's Arizona Human Trafficking Council.
"In the 21st century, speed is of the essence in solving these issues," Orrantia said. "We have to be fast – faster than our adversaries."
Another major hurdle mentioned was a lack of operational agreements, or Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), addressing the jurisdictional sovereignty of a tribe. "Jurisdiction can pretty much get in the way for the well-being of our people, especially in Indian Country," said Navajo Nation Vice President Jonathan Nez. The Navajo Nation, for example, has 110 chapters (of semi-autonomous local governments) that need to be both reached and respected.
Another challenge addressed during the sessions: Certain societal beliefs, or disbeliefs, that sometimes stand in the way of progress.
"Often we don't want to admit that a perpetrator could be from within our community – someone who knows the family, the child, lives in the neighborhood," Walters said. "But statistics show more children are abducted by a person known to the child or the family than by a stranger."
That observation particularly resonated with attendee David Antone, a council member with the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community.
"In our society, a lot of people believe that if you ignore something it will just go away. But it won't. In fact, it probably will increase," he said. But armed with the best-practices advice offered at the training sessions, "the future is something we may be able to dictate in Indian Country to stop this type of crime," he added.
Another notion worth considering: "We're not educating non-Indians enough about what issues we're experiencing – and we're not partnering with them for resources," Manuel lamented. When planning child abduction recovery systems, she says, there's no need to reinvent the wheel. "We don't have to do this by ourselves."
Community Outreach and Support
Not all tribal communities have the resources or capabilities to implement everything needed to develop comprehensive child recovery systems. "Possibly one community can help another," Antone suggests. "Or we can come up with proposals for financial aid to implement for tribes that aren't so fortunate in bringing in revenue."
For her part, Manuel believes tribal leaders and communities should proactively and openly engage with one another – and definitely enlist the help of kids in their respective communities.
While leading the Morning Star youth group, Manuel has seen the power and passion young people can express. Shortly after Ashlynne's death, eight members of the group, ages 6 to 16, decided to make an abduction-prevention video that could both teach and heal. Each member offered one tip for youths facing danger that might go unnoticed – from screaming at the top of their lungs, to fending off an adult trying to physically take them from their surroundings, to creating a disruption to get the attention of others who can help. One of the biggest tips came from the smallest members – who'd just taken karate classes. "She decided to show us a defensive move." Later enlisting her dad to help her demonstrate, "she was able to take him down," Manuel says with a smile. "It's really something you have to see."
Workshop attendees left appreciating having learned from one another and developed new contacts. They also noted ideas for helping strengthen future meetings and preparing to adopt AMBER Alert systems.
An Arizona law enforcement participant shared that hearing the needs of different tribal members and the hurdles they face in implementing AMBER Alerts was very helpful. Of particular value, she noted, was hearing how the Navajo Nation designed its alert. The officer expressed looking forward to learning from tribes that have successfully issued and worked through an AMBER Alert, and hopes case study examples from these successes can be developed and provided through training.
Meanwhile, Arizona's tribes embrace the power of AMBER Alert – and set the course for other tribes in the nation to follow. Ashlynne's mother Pamela is hopeful about what lies ahead.
"It's through love and loss that we fought so hard to make changes for all Native children across the country, so that other families might be spared our pain," said Foster. In tribute to Ashlynne, "I believe that every child has the right to feel safe, to feel free and to lead a full life."
HONORING SENATOR MCCAIN (1936-2018)


So what's in The Eagles Almanac 2018?
There's nothing like premiership success to get writers to pop their heads up. And so, during the finals, and in the weeks after the (brilliant) 2018 Grand Final we received some fantastic pieces which really captured the moment. The Eagles' season is captured in this collection of 55 pieces – match reports, memoir, reflection, player profiles – by 40 writers.
Here's some of the pieces in The Eagles Almanac 2018. And the contents page appears at the bottom of this post.
The Eagles Almanac 2018 also includes the usual match reports for each of the home and away rounds.
The Eagles Almanac 2018, an account of the Eagles' 2018 premiership season, is written in a warm and conversational style by fans from all walks of life, it includes observation, reflection, memoir and (maverick) match reports.
Review copies and extracts are available.
Noting that there's a piece by Kevin Mitchell makes me especially eager to get my copy. Always interested to read the sporting thoughts of musicians like Paul Kelly who once wrote of the coexistence of grace and danger in football. Whenever we hear Vance Joy on the car radio I mention to our boys how he and I featured in the same edition of the Footy Almanac. Sadly likely to be our only shared stage!
Love me a bit of Kevin "Bloody" Mitchell – reminds me of the first Almanac I ever purchased, 2009's edition, which featured words from North tragic Tim Rogers. Can't wait to get stuck in!
Sorry Jarrod – Bloody Kevin is the old redundant WA – racist and homophobic. The sort of crass idiocy that would never grace the generous, civilising pages of the Almanac.
Our Kevin Mitchell is the lead singer of Jebediah and has a 'pop' alter ego Bob Evans.
Sorry, PB, it was a rather obtuse tongue-in-cheek reference to the days when the Jedediah frontman started to sing as solo Bob Evans – the nickname of Kevin "Bloody" Mitchell got a bit of a run on the radio and at gigs that I went to.
Quite right about the other Kevin, the less said about him the better.
I believe the Kevin 'Bloody' Mitchell in question calls his residence 'Disgraceland'.

What the Butler Saw: Events of summer show where Gloucester Rugby are
Column by Gloucester great Peter Butler
Peter Butler
Gloucester's current position in the Premiership hierarchy has been quite brutally confirmed by the events of this summer.
Jonny May's desire to leave the club for Leicester sums up where the Cherry and Whites find themselves after four seasons in the bottom half of the table.
Peter Butler column
Who has staked their claim in pre-season and how are Gloucester looking in each position heading into new season?
May's decision followed Carl Fearns reneging on his deal to come to Kingsholm in what was set to be the blue chip signing of the summer.
But the way English rugby is, life is tough for a club without a bottomless pit of money behind them. Continual loosening of salary cap rules means you can no longer be among the best as a well-run, well-supported club.
Only those with megabucks can prosper, and that has been underlined by May following Greig Laidlaw through the exit door.
Jonny May of Gloucester Rugby attempts to evade the tackle by Jack Nowell of Exeter Chiefs
It is particularly painful for Gloucester, who it is often forgotten were one of the original clubs with a big money backer.
Just as many salary cap questions were asked of the Cherry and Whites in the early Tom Walkinshaw days as are being asked of Saracens, Wasps and Bath now.
The adjustment period when the money became tight was painful for the Gloucester fans, and while you sense the club is on a firmer financial footing now, the stability and consistency has not translated into better performances.
It is difficult to accept a player like May leaving after being at the club all his rugby life, but if you take the loyalty argument out of it, you can't really blame him.
He has moved to a club likely to be in and around the top four this season, from a club with more hope than expectation of success.
Carl Fearns
In the case of Fearns, you would hope that it didn't come down simply to a mega contract offer from Lyon, although you have to say that's how it looks. Without him, Gloucester's summer of signings has again been mundane.
Having said all this, I would argue Gloucester have been less than the sum of their parts over the last two seasons.
Incoming is a coach with a reputation for making teams perform at more than the sum of their parts.
So, it's over to you, Mr Ackermann.
Ackermann-Humphreys relationship will be key for Gloucester

There is a shift in the balance of the Gloucester coaching set-up this season with the arrival of Johan Ackermann.
Previously, David Humphreys was very much the leader of the operation as director of rugby. I was surprised more questions were not asked of his future following the departure of Laurie Fisher, and you would have to say the manner in which the Australian left might have bought the Irishman another season.
Gloucester Rugby name sides for Charlie Sharples Testimonial Double Header against Hartpury and Scarlets
But with Ackermann's arrival, I get a sense of the South African being in charge. Whereas you felt Humphreys had the final say in most decisions under the previous regime, Ackermann's arrival prompts a rebalancing of power.
He doesn't strike me as a number two, and I'm sure he has sought assurances over where the balance of power lies in his relationship with Humphreys.
I don't anticipate a power struggle, but there have been problems with the same coach-manager relationship in football so it is worth keeping an eye on.
David Humphreys
Certainly, the most important relationship at Gloucester this season is the one between Ackermann and Humphreys. If they can't strike up a good rapport, it will be a struggle for the Cherry and Whites.
I've seen nothing not to like about Ackermann so far. I like that he was loyal to his previous club, he speaks in a very straight forward way about his approach to the game, and he brought his son with him.
Gloucester have gone out and recruited one of the world's top coaches. Let's hope that translates into results.
Kingsholm must become a fortress again
The Premiership champions at Kingsholm on a Friday night is a wonderful way to baptise the new head coach, and a solid yardstick for the season ahead.
Forget that Exeter won the league last season, Gloucester should be beating everyone at home regardless of how good they are.
Gloucester fans in The Shed
The first aim of new coach Johan Ackermann is to regrow the lost aura around Kingsholm. For the fans, it never left, but somewhere along the line the opposition stopped being spooked by coming to Gloucester, and the sooner they hate it again, the better.
A sprinkling of home defeats has become all too regular of late. There was a time when losing at home was viewed as an outright disaster, and those are times that need to return.
I don't want to read club match reports trying to put a positive spin on home defeats.
If Gloucester lose at home, it is a disaster. Give that message to every player and let the performances stem from there.
A big home win against the Premiership champions is the ideal way to start any season, not least one with a new coach in charge and renewed expectation.
I cannot wait to see Gloucester launch themselves into Exeter on Friday and set out their stall for the season to come.

Q: How to read the only valid observations in the range of sliderInput in Shiny in R I have a list (in .csv file) from 1 to 100, but with difference between the every term is not the same.
For example, 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 11, 13, 17, 18, 19,..., 95, 99, 100.
After that, the range I selected will store in the selected_value (Global Environment).
And here is my code :
library(shiny)
ui <- fluidPage(
  fluidRow(
    column(4,
           sliderInput("slider","Slider Range",
                       min = 0, max = 100, value = c(40, 60)))),

  fluidRow(
    column(4, verbatimTextOutput("range"))))

server <- function(input, output) {

  output$range <- renderPrint({input$slider})
  observe(selected_value <<- input$slider)}

shinyApp(ui,server)

My problem is let's say I selected the range of 3 to 20 in the slider, and I wish the selected_value
will tell me the only valid observations : 4,7,8,11,13,17,19.
Which part of my code should modify? Will be thanks a lot to anyone who willing to help me ...

A: I'm not sure I'm fully understanding what you're looking for, but this app will return the values in the range selected:
library(shiny)

range <- 0:100

ui <- fluidPage(
  fluidRow(
    column(4,
           sliderInput("slider","Slider Range",
                       min = min(range), max = max(range), value = c(40, 60)))),

  fluidRow(
    column(4, verbatimTextOutput("range"))))

server <- function(input, output) {

  selected_values <- reactive({
    range[range >= input$slider[1] & range <= input$slider[2]]
    })

  output$range <- renderPrint(selected_values())
}

Evaluated bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin with abciximab during ST elevation MI at 30 days. Bivalirudin had fewer adverse events, less major bleeding and reduced death from cardiac causes. There was no difference in major adverse cardiac events (MACE) or stent thrombosis at 30 days. Subsequent follow-up confirmed at 1 and 3 years the benefit of bivalirudin.
Paclitaxel stent versus bare metal stent was also evaluated for efficacy. Paclitaxel stents had significantly reduced ischemia driven revascularization at 1 and 3 years compared to bare metal stents. There is no mortality benefit and no difference in stent thrombosis.

What is bail? And is there a difference between that and bond?
There are similarities between the two, but they are inherently different. Both are basically guarantees that if the criminal defendant is released from police custody, he or she will return to court in the future at a set time. It is basically insurance, because it is usually money.
Bail is money from the defendant, their family members – sometimes it is a huge sum of money, depending on the assets of the defendant and the nature of the crime. Bail cannot be excessive under the 8th Amendment, but if the defendant is fabulously wealthy, the bail must be large enough that they will not skip out on the next court appearance. If the defendant fails to return to court at the designated time, the money is not refunded, and a warrant is issued for their arrest. Not everyone is entitled to bail. Sometimes there is a hearing in order to determine whether bail should be set at all, and if so, how much. The court must consider things like if the defendant is likely to flee the country, or is too dangerous to be released back into society. If these seem likely, then the court can set a high bond or deny bond, period. In federal court, if the mandatory minimum sentence exceeds ten years, the defendant can be denied bond.
Bond comes into play when the defendant (or her family) are unable to make bail. Bonds are bails which are paid by a bail bond company. These companies require collateral before they will pay bail, usually very high-value property such as a car or even a home. The defendant usually must contribute at least ten percent to the bondsman (kind of a down payment). The bondsman then pays a portion of the bail required. If the defendant does not appear, then the bondsman has to pay the rest of the bail, and they are allowed to send out a bounty hunter for the return of the defendant – which is why Dog the Bountyhunter got his own reality show. If you hire a bondsman, ask a lot of questions and read the contract carefully.
Some states allow defendants to do without the third party, and post their own property bond – putting their house up as collateral instead of having to fork over actual cash, for example. Remember, this money and property will be refunded, provided you show up to each court hearing as required. As soon as you fail to appear, that money is gone, and any property you have put up can be seized.
For less serious offenses, or even those who have an attorney, the defendant can do what's called a signature bond, where they are 'released on their own recognizance,' and promise to appear in court without having to put up any money as insurance. These are for small, first-time offenders, with no flight risk and who do not pose any threat to the general public. While the judge determines how much bail or bond should be set for, in many cases there are standard amounts for certain crimes. Smaller crimes that do not hold a lot of jail time can be set on a state basis – for example, someone arrested for a public intoxication case may have a low bail (like $1,000.00), that can be paid the same night they are arrested and booked.
Essentially, defendants who are able to secure their release from custody with money post bail. Defendants who have to offer up some kind of collateral post bond. If you have any questions or concerns about posting bail or bond, it is prudent to discuss this with an attorney, who can help you weigh out all your options. Regardless, always show up to your designated court dates. Not only could you lose the money you posted, but you will be arrested again, and it will be a black mark on your record… not a good thing when you are trying to fight a charge.

Q: Get current time, on commit, with oracle database When inserting a row I want to make a column, equal to the current time on commit.
If I use default value sysdatetime on the column, it uses the current time at insert (which could be significantly different to commit time). If I use an on insert trigger, it again uses the time at the insert - not the actual commit.
Are there any possible solutions to get current time on commit with oracle ?

A: To get an approximate value (+/- 3sec or so) you may use ORA_ROWSCN
You must define the table with ROWDEPENDENCIES to have the SCN stored for each row.
Here an simple example:
create table t1
(c1 number,
c2 date)
ROWDEPENDENCIES;

insert into t1 values(1,sysdate);
-- wait 5 sec
commit;

insert into t1 values(2,sysdate);
-- wait 10 sec
commit;

SELECT ORA_ROWSCN, SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ORA_ROWSCN), c1,c2 FROM t1;

ORA_ROWSCN SCN_TO_TIMESTAMP(ORA_ROWSCN)         C1 C2
---------- ---------------------------- ---------- -------------------
   1.4E+13 19.05.16 19:14:15,000000000           1 19.05.2016 19:14:09
   1.4E+13 19.05.16 19:14:30,000000000           2 19.05.2016 19:14:21

A: In PL/SQL I'd

*

*collect ROWID for each line updated

*get the systimestamp just before the "real" commit

*update the record by collected rowid with the previous timestamp

*commit one again

But as stated in comments

What is the business requirement for this?

It has a big defect, it's commiting twice for the same records, so generating almost double redolog for each run.

A: As other have asked, it would be helpful to know what business requirements need this functionality.
For example, if you need to know when a certain row started appearing in query results for other sessions (which would only occur on the commit, not the insert), then you could rename your table and add a column that is an effective date.  When you insert into the table you could set the effective date to something in the future after you know the commit will have occurred.  You could then create a view named the same as the original table and have it show only rows with effective dates less than sysdate.
