Some years ago, I heard a story about an extremely wealthy man who dies. The old man had lived a very private life due to a family tragedy years earlier. His only child, a son, had died from a rare disease before his 10th birthday. When the father passed away, he left behind an incredible art collection that would have made even the finest art gallery take notice. An auction was held for the collection.
What is your most priceless possession? What is your teams' most priceless possession?
Have you ever expected to get a prize or gift only to discover it was going to someone else?
Do you have the Son? Is Jesus your Lord and Savior?

Q: Realm query result always null i've got a Realm DB containing some Item. I've populated the DB getting info from my online DB but when i try to execute a query on DB it gives always null data.
Im sure that data from DB is not null.
I've populated the DB as official site shows.
Here where i use my query's result:
public void onBindViewHolder(ViewHolder holder, int position) {

    Item result = ItemHandler.getItem(mDataset.get(position));

    Picasso.get().load(result.getImg()).resize(100,100).onlyScaleDown().centerCrop().into(holder.itemImage);
    holder.itemName.setText(result.getName());
    holder.itemValue.setText(result.getSell_value());

    //TODO when clicked open a dialog

}

Query method:
public static Item getItem(int id){

    Realm realm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
    return realm.where(Item.class).equalTo("id", id).findFirst();

}

Item class:
public class Item extends RealmObject {

private int id;
private String name;
private String description;
private int img;
private int buff_health;
private int buff_damage;
private int buff_armor;
private int buy_value;
private int sell_value;

public int getBuy_value() {
    return buy_value;
}

public void setBuy_value(int buy_value) {
    this.buy_value = buy_value;
}

public int getSell_value() {
    return sell_value;
}

public void setSell_value(int sell_value) {
    this.sell_value = sell_value;
}

public int getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(int id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public String getDescription() {
    return description;
}

public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;
}

public int getImg() {
    return img;
}

public void setImg(int img) {
    this.img = img;
}

public int getBuff_health() {
    return buff_health;
}

public void setBuff_health(int buff_health) {
    this.buff_health = buff_health;
}

public int getBuff_damage() {
    return buff_damage;
}

public void setBuff_damage(int buff_damage) {
    this.buff_damage = buff_damage;
}

public int getBuff_armor() {
    return buff_armor;
}

public void setBuff_armor(int buff_armor) {
    this.buff_armor = buff_armor;
}
}

EDIT: here is where i store my data:
public static void addToDB(List<ItemMaster> itemMasterList, Resources resource){

    Realm myRealm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();

    for(int i = 0; i < itemMasterList.size(); i++){

        myRealm.beginTransaction();

        Item item = myRealm.createObject(Item.class);
        item.setId(itemMasterList.get(i).getId());
        item.setName(itemMasterList.get(i).getName());
        item.setDescription(itemMasterList.get(i).getDescription());
        item.setBuff_armor(itemMasterList.get(i).getBuff_armor());
        item.setBuff_damage(itemMasterList.get(i).getBuff_damage());
        item.setBuff_health(itemMasterList.get(i).getBuff_health());
        item.setBuy_value(itemMasterList.get(i).getBuy_value());
        item.setSell_value(itemMasterList.get(i).getSell_value());
        item.setImg(resource.getIdentifier("item_" + itemMasterList.get(i).getId(), "drawable", null));

        myRealm.commitTransaction();

    }

    myRealm.close();

Send in your objections to this 5G planning application
Illustration by John Sadler www.johnsadlerillustration.com
• IF insufficient objections are received to planning application P2020/2264/FUL by 25/10/20, it will allow, on top of Waterloo Gardens in Milner Square, a forest of antennae, emitting high levels of radiation which will flood our children's playground, our homes and surrounding streets.
Islington Council spent thousands creating this playground, which will now be squandered, as its presence lures children closest to dangerous output of the antennae.
Michael Mansfield QC is sufficiently concerned at such health risks to lead a legal team currently for the campaigning organisation Action Against 5G, challenging the UK government over its failure to take notice of the health risks and public concern related to this technology, originally developed for military purposes.
Milner Square, within living memory, was once overcrowded tenements, replaced by council housing, and is now a conservation area. Designed by the same architects as the Almeida theatre, it was bombed during World War II.
Corrie writer, and best-selling author, Susan Oudot's childhood home, she recently created a film to capture the historic tenement memories of people still living in Milner Square, who now have to face this danger to be sited within yards of their homes.
Susan's film, Through the Hole in the Wall, can be viewed on https://vimeo.com/138173028.
At first glance I thought the council letter referred to TV reception antennae and was about to discard it.
But curious as to why planning was required, I accessed the council website to discover the news that in the middle of this Covid-19 pandemic, when we are all struggling to survive and keep in good health, the gatekeeper of our health, this council, have allowed this additional threat to reach this stage.
Most applicants contact the council to get an opinion whether its worth paying the fees and proceeding. Why wasn't it discouraged at that point?
This has implication for insurance, sale of homes, and for those of us in social housing who cannot afford to move. Here's a Labour council which has forgotten its working class roots of protecting the vulnerable.
Do we not merit the right to good health? Death from cancer is a slow instalment plan and the 24/7 radiation doses we will get from these antennae will gradually chip away our good health.
Children are the most vulnerable. It's a high price to pay to allow someone to stream a video a few milliseconds quicker.
Please don't assume that someone else will object and you don't need to. The more objections the more the council will sit up and listen.
Redbridge council refused such an application after 400 objections. Many council letters go to the homeowner, and I think tenants in Waterloo Gardens may be unaware of this application.
As the letter does not say 5G antennae, many would have put it directly into the recycle.
Pushing this application, when we can't collect petitions, when council meetings will be by Zoom and not in the council chamber, and when council staff are working remotely, is a blow to democracy.
Councillors should demand more time or put this process off until the danger of Covid and lockdowns is lessened.
You can email Alex McCombie, the lead officer on this, at: alexander.mcombie@Islington.gov.uk (phone 020 7527 2401). Or please write to Alex McCombie at Planning, 222 Upper Street, London N1 1XR.

Home > Making It Easier to Access Data
Making It Easier to Access Data
If you're a researcher looking for large data sets it may be difficult to know where to start, what resources are availalble, and how to find what you're looking for.
That's where CELDAC comes in. The Comparative Effectiveness Large Data Set Analysis Core (CELDAC) was created to accelerate the use of large, public data sets in conducting studies of health and health care.
"CELDAC is the combination of a concierge service and a social network," says Janet Coffman, MA, MPP, PhD, director of CELDAC and assistant adjunct professor in the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies and the Department of Family and Community Medicine at UCSF. "We're in the business of linking investigators to both relevant data sets and other researchers who can assist them in carrying out their research."
CELDAC is the combination of a concierge service and a social network.
Janet Coffman, MA, MPP, PhD; Director of CELDAC
In support of UCSF faculty and trainees CELDAC provides several resources, including:
a searchable online inventory of large, public data sets;
a repository of select data sets available to UCSF researchers at no cost through MyResearch;
a consultation service to assist researchers in identifying data sets, obtaining data sets, finding faculty with relevant expertise, and performing data analyses.
Expanding Beyond UCSF
With support from the California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) in the form of a one-year grant award, CELDAC is continuing to expand its reach beyond UCSF. Much of the work under the CHCF grant will focus on improving CELDAC's online, searchable inventory of large, public data sets, which are publicly available.
The Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) at UCSF is also currently providing funding and in-kind assistance to support CELDAC expansion. That includes communications and technology assistance through CTSI's Virtual Home program.
"CTSI's involvement is a good example of putting UCSF's resources on the table to leverage greater resources from external funders," says Coffman. "With CTSI, we're working to improve the online user interface, enhance the information available about data sets in the inventory, and facilitate downloading of search results. We are also identifying additional sources of state and sub-state level data on health and health care."
In terms of what's to come, Coffman is focused on partnerships and exploring ideas for how to expand services to health care researchers at other institutions, policymakers, and community-base organizations in California.
A Focus On Partnerships
CELDAC is collaborating with the Society for General Internal Medicine (SGIM), another organization that has created an online inventory of large, public data sets to leverage the respective strengths of the two inventories. SGIM is the professional society of primary care internal medicine faculty at medical schools and teaching hospitals, and its research data compendium is overseen by Alexander Smith, MD, MS, MPH, an assistant professor of medicine UCSF. The online cross-sharing of information about data sets includes a SGIM link to CELDAC's search engine and CELDAC link to SGIM's expert commentaries on data sets contained in both inventories.
Dr. Coffman also demonstrated CELDAC's online, searchable inventory of data sets at a briefing in Sacramento, CA, sponsored by CHCH in partnership with the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health, The SCAN Foundation, the California Health Policy Forum, and the West Wireless Health Institute. The event was designed to engage policymakers and stakeholders in a conversation about improving access to health care data collected by state government agencies. As an outgrowth of this event, CELDAC received additional funding from CHCF to conduct interviews with state policymakers to assess their needs for data on health care coverage, access, and quality and identify their priorities for expanding access to data.
Another partnership involves CTSI's Community Engagement & Health Policy (CE&HP) program. CELDAC is participating in consultations that CE&HP provides to community-based organizations and local governments in the San Francisco Bay Area and exploring other ways in which it can help community-based organizations and local governments access data pertinent to their work.
CELDAC is a partnership between the Philip R Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies (IHPS) and Academic Research Systems (ARS), which is part of CTSI's Biomedical Informatics program.
CTSI is a member of the National Institutes of Health-funded Clinical and Translational Science Awards network. Under the banner of Accelerating Research to Improve Health, it provides a wide range of services for researchers, and promotes online collaboration and networking through tools such as UCSF Profiles.

Jason Aldean, Kelly Clarkson Throw Back 2019 ACM Awards With 'Don't You Wanna Stay' Duet
Wendy Hermanson
Jason Aldean accepted a tremendously important award on Sunday (April 7) at the 2019 Academy of Country Music Awards: The Artist of the Decade honor, which was renamed for music industry legend Dick Clark following his passing in 2012. Aldean's acceptance of the award marks the first time it was received in Clark's name.
Aldean was introduced to the stage by the current holder of the title, George Strait. "Over the past ten years, there has been a lot of change in our industry — new artists, new sounds, new ways to listen to the songs," Strait noted. "But one thing that has stayed the same is Jason Aldean's ability to connect with his fans and light a fire with his music."
In celebration of the win, Aldean and pop singer Kelly Clarkson shared a throwback duet: The two performed their hit "Don't You Wanna Stay."
Aldean and Clarkson dropped "Don't You Wanna Stay" in late 2010. Written by Andy Gibson, Paul Jenkins and Jason Sellers, the song became a multi-platinum, No. 1 hit, and crossed over to the Top 40 (No. 9) and Adult Contemporary (No. 3) charts. The song earned them nods at both the CMA Awards and Grammy Awards. It also won them two ACM Awards: Single of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year.
Originally, the ACMs Weren't for Everyone — Watch:
Although that duet clearly delighted the audience, Aldean gave them a little more, launching solo into his "Dirt Road Anthem," which in 2011 was a pioneering hybrid between country and rap.
Following the performance, Aldean then stepped back for Strait, who simply noted, "Jason, it's an honor to present you with the ACM Dick Clark Artist of the Decade award."
"That's the reason I wear the cowboy hat right here," replied a dazed Aldean. After demurring that there were many other peers who were equally as deserving as he was of the award, the singer thanked his family, and added, "More than anything, thank you to the country music fans, and country radio, you guys have changed my life forever."
A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean is receiving the Dick Clark Artist of the Decade honor for his contributions to country music throughout the 2010s. He was also nominated for Entertainer of the Year at the 2019 ACM Awards, though the statue went to Keith Urban.

The Highlanders is the complete fourth story of Season 4 of Porridge Who. It's the Second Doctor's second story and we'll probably never know whether it's any good or not.
Something about the Doctor, Ben and Polly going to Scotland to eat a shitload of haggis.
This story is the debut of Frazer Hines as best companion Jamie McCrimmon. He joins the TARDIS crew from this story onwards.
Not once does anyone shout "There can be only one!" But Jamie does shout "Creag an tuire!", which means "Turd Hill" in Scottish, which is close enough.
The Second Doctor does a funny German accent and bashes a guy on the head with a hammer. He also dresses in drag in this story. Already best serial.

Standard for Expert Opinions Uncertain in Light of the Supreme Court of Florida's Recent Decision
The Florida Supreme Court has declined to follow the Florida Legislature's decision around expert witness testimony requirements. On February 16, 2017, the Supreme Court of Florida declined to adopt the 2013 amendments to the Florida Evidence Code which replaced the Frye standard for expert witnesses with the Daubert standard. The ruling shows that the interplay between the Florida Supreme Court and the Florida Legislature may create confusion and uncertainty for attorneys and judges about the standard they should apply for expert witness opinions going forward.
In January 2013, the Florida Legislature amended the Florida Evidence Code regarding expert opinions. The purpose of the amendment was for Florida to shift from the Frye standard to the Daubert standard for expert witness opinions, in order to put Florida in line with the federal courts and most states. What's the difference between the two?
The Frye Standard: an expert opinion based on a scientific technique is only admissible if such technique was "generally accepted" as reliable in the relevant scientific community.
The Daubert Standard: a more stringent and slow process, which requires additional hearings to determine the validity of expert opinion.
The FL Supreme Court declined to adopt the new amendments, and therefore Florida will continue to use the Frye standard, unless or until challenged in a "proper case or controversy" where the Supreme Court of Florida has an opportunity to review the constitutional issues it referenced. The Court explained that even though it is the policy to adopt provisions of the Florida Evidence Code as the Legislature suggests, they have declined to on occasion "because of significant concerns about the amendments, including concerns about the constitutionality of an amendment."
The Court noted 'grave constitutional concerns' with the change. The concerns were not discussed in detail in the opinion, but touched upon the constitutional right to a jury trial and denying access to the courts.
Justice Polston, concurring in part and dissenting in part, disagreed with the majority for rejecting to replace the Frye standard, honing in on the fact that the Daubert standard is followed not only in federal courts, but also in "36 states." Justice Polston continued, stating he knew of "no reported decisions that have held that the Daubert standard violates the constitutional guarantees" and in fact, cited to case law across the nation stating the opposite.
The ruling could have a substantial impact in the trial courts. For example, when a party objects to the admissibility of an expert witness opinion based upon the Daubert standard, the opposing party may argue that, based on the Court's ruling, the Daubert amendments are unconstitutional. A party seeking to admit expert testimony could also argue that the amendments are procedural in nature, and because they were not adopted by the Supreme Court of Florida, the court should use the Frye standard in ruling on the motion.
Unless or until the FL Supreme Court rules differently on the issue, it appears this ruling is likely to cause confusion in courts across the state in applying the standard for admitting, challenging, or excluding expert opinions under the Florida Evidence Code.

Edmiston is a world leader in the superyacht industry. Specialising in the sale, charter, management and new construction of the largest and most luxurious yachts. Recently, Edmiston asked us for help with a photoshoot they were doing on their amazing Malahne yacht, in Cannes, South France. We lent them one of our classic seamless outfits from the Spring/summer Eden Collection and some luxury yoga mats, to be featured in their catalogue. Only the best for a luxury yacht of course, the photos came out so beautifully we thought we'd share them with you.
Thanks to Edmiston and The Taylor Agency for these images. Even if we're a little jealous in the Manuka Life office that our morning yoga session isn't on a yacht off the south of France.


I have nothing but contempt for doctors like Dr. Moulton. I was involved with my Doctor and he too practiced at Sacared Heart Medical Center in 1976. I too underwent electro shock treatments and have since battle extreme depression. However, have since found a wonderful doctor.
Elizabeth, Thank you for the information. Sorry you had to experience it. However, Maybe you can please help – What doctor did you find?

'Colin Currie & Steve Reich. Live at Fondation Louis Vuitton' is the third album to be released on Colin Currie's own label and captures five performances, taken live, at a Steve Reich presentation in Paris. The music ranges from Clapping Music of 1972 to Pulse of 2015. James Jolly met up with Colin to talk about his long association with Reich's music, the approach needed to perform music of mathematical precision yet at the same surprising emotional weight, and about performing Clapping Music with Reich himself.


In my blog entry of July 8, 2015, I summarized some of the history of the first international classification of diseases, a process that started in 1853 and was finally approved in 1893. While this was not officially called "ICD-1", it was in fact the first international standard for disease and mortality classification.
John Snow was clearly a man ahead of his times. The "Germ Theory" of disease did not yet exist. It wasn't until 1885 that Robert Koch identified the V. cholerae bacillus as the cause of the disease. In fact, the field of epidemiology did not even exist yet, despite the title of the London medical society.
Tracking the cholera pandemics created a world-wide interest in disease patterns and spread, and helped to create the need for a way to classify disease. We'll never know for sure if that was the driving inspiration behind the first international disease classification. But that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.


Convicted Felons, can they stay with someone who owns a gun?
Straight Talk The general Ex-Offender discussion forum. If you have done time, this forum is for you.
The definition of a firearm under Minnesota state law is so vague that it can be construed as banning possession of a slingshot, a rubber band, a squirt gun, or one's own arm if used to throw an object.
State law here also specifically exempted Swiss Army knives from the definition of "concealed weapons". The law was changed several years ago to define a weapon as "any object which could cause harm, or reasonably be construed to cause harm".
Under that definition, I'm not sure what ISN'T a weapon. Rather obviously, this is a law which was written to be selectively enforced.
Conversely, Crossman made an air-powered shotgun during the late 60s-early 70s which is now a quite valuable collector's item. More recently, a number of manufacturers have started producing 9mm air guns which deliver quite a kick. They are quite popular in Europe, where extreme restrictions on the ownership of traditional firearms have been in force for a very long time.

The feds have a law that says convicted felons may not have a firearm. I was working a case in prison for a friend whos mother had a key to a room. In that room was a lock box also with a key. They came for him on a armed robbery which he did with a toy gun. In that locked room and locked box was 3 guns. He went to trial and was convicted of convicted felon in possession of a firearm. MY self as a felon I would avoid this. I know here that after your off parole 10 years you can get permission from the Sheriff to control a firearm, but only in that parish.
I should add to the above that being in the home of another person who owns firearms does not put you "in possession" of a firearm, at least in Minnesota. Being caught in a car with someone who has a gun under the seat (illegal unless the owner has a carry permit) might be very different, however. A friend who has a stayed felony on his record goes deer hunting every year--with a bow. Sharing a cabin with a bunch of guys who have guns, again, does not seem to be a problem.
Similarly, the usual ban on associating with other convicted felons is generally ignored if one is, for example, attending AA meetings or the like. Were it not so, it would be awfully hard for someone on probation or parole to find a meeting they could attend!
He was the DA in my case. He is no jk.
It's been a while since you posted this, but I wonder if you can help me with something. I am in law school and I have been asked to prepare a case brief about Texas Code Sec. 46.04. I cannot find a CASE pertaining to this law anywhere! Can you recommend one? Thanks!
Also, I am in this forum to get support for being involved with a man behind bars; not because I'm a law student.
I certainly do not suggest breaking the law, and I realize that it may be better, or required, to simply not have any guns in the house at all. However, to prove that the wife has no access to the guns, it may be possible for the husband to not only store them very safely, such as in a safe and separately from ammunition, but also have a locked room to which the wife does not have the key, and protected by an alarm system to which the wife does not have the code. It is perfectly possible to have just one room protected by an alarm system (of course, one professionally installed and monitored) even if a different system, or no system at all, is used for the rest of the rooms. For those who can afford it, setting up two different homes and actually living, or meeting frequently, only in the one without guns could also satisfy the requirement of not living in a home where there are guns (of course, if the ex-felon does not have access to the second residence). Some homes may allow for the second residence to be set up in the home itself. Of course, in both cases, the apartment with guns would be protected by an alarm system.
I realize that a married couple may not wish to live that way, or be able to afford doing so, and that this may still be risky. However, if a couple had a system like that and could prove it if necessary, it would be harder to argue that they both had access to the guns.
Not sure if any of these apply to the situation you need but it might be a start.
The loss of that right isn't a closely guarded secret. It's been that way for a LOOOOONG time. That's one of the things people gamble away when they decide to do whatever they think is worth the risk.
Lots of people who have never been to jail don't like guns and have none in the house.
Felons can guard their house like anyone who, for whatever reason, has no guns in the house. Alarm system (doesn't have to be elaborate - just loud), barking dog, good locks on the doors, motion sensor lights and alarms (these aren't expensive), etc.
I don't mean to sound insensitive - just straight talk.
Yeah, because, you know, every person convicted of a federal felony is guilty, there aren't any innocent people sent to jail.
Sometimes, no decisions are made that put a person's liberties at risk.
Some places, for example out in the countryside or in some states I've lived in, every home has guns.
I've been wondering how a returned citizen who lives in one of those places stays out of trouble. It doesn't sound like a winning rental application to say "I'd like to rent a room in your house and you'll need to get rid of all your guns". Even family might not want to disarm themselves to make their home legal for their loved one with a record.
An apartment in an apartment complex seems like the only answer for someone who can't afford to buy a place.
I'm collecting Best of PTO posts and quotes in my blog here.
The proposed law to reinstate gun rights to some felons has apparently been added to a thousand or so page appropriation bill. The law will eventually pass, but that part of it may be long gone after amendments and House/Senate reconciliation, which happens when the house & senate bills are at all different.
So what happens if a gun owner is convicted of a crime. Does he need to sell all his guns or the police will confiscate it?
It depends on whether or not the guns were used in the crime committed as to whether or not they will be confiscated. Regardless, the person would have to get rid of them and couldn't be in possession of them even to sell them. Would be best if friends or family got them out of their house before they got finished with court proceedings.
My son on probation in 2011 for "party to a crime", I could not have any weapons in the house, to include guns, knives, spears, bow, BB guns.
He gets out of prison soon and I met with the parole officer. Same rule. I asked the officer what happens if we are at a friend's or relative's residence visiting, such as a holiday dinner, and they have weapons. The response was that if someone pulls one out or has it in plain view, he needs to leave immediately. If the hosts have weapons such as for home protection, presumably it is in a room that is not generally accessed during the holiday meal visit, then he is ok. If they are a collector and the weapons are on display - eat our holiday dinner at Denny's.

You have federal law, which strictly prohibits felons from owning "firearms" (except, they don't consider "black powder curio" guns firearms. Pretty stupid, but as a felon, I'm happy about it. Then you have state laws, many of which definitely do consider a black powder curio gun to be a firearm. THEN, apparently now, the State of Texas is allowing felons after 5 year (I think) to have a modern firearm in their house. I can't find it right now, but I came across some legal info that the feds are now deferring to the state. So, if Texas allows felons to own guns at home, the feds won't prosecute.
Don't take this as legal advice though. Anyone with a felony conviction owes it to themselves and their loved ones to thoroughly research it, and get legal advice if you want to take the risk.
One thing I'm 99% confident on is: When on felony probation, guns shouldn't be anywhere said felon can "constructively" posses, or access it. If he / she is towing the line, chances are a listed residence won't ever be "shook down", but still.
When I was on federal probation, and had moved back into my parents house after 'halfway house', I'm pretty sure part of the 'deal' was my federal PO / half-way house minder could search their house. IF anyone refused, I'd have been back in custody.
It's been a LONG time, I'm happy to say, so some things may have changed.
I hope one day they end up 'funding' the BATF / Department that has always been charged with restoring a felons rights. Should violent felons own / us guns? Absolutely not. There are so many others that are not violent and deserve to have their rights restored after they serve the time and probation. Of course, just my opinion.
Bear in mind, of course, that this is in California, but the advice was given by someone with high ranking within the Navy, so I assume there may be a Federal guideline that they were following as well.
As a general rule...it's not a good idea to have guns in the house if someone is on Supervision and the house is subject to search. If you must have guns for some reason, you should speak with the supervising agency to see what is and is not allowed. If uncertain, always good to err on the side of caution though and perhaps store the guns elsewhere until confirmation of what is/is not allowed is received.
The complicated issue is the federal law. It is possible to have your right to own guns restored by a number of States, but the only way I know of (BATF refuses to reinstate anyone's rights to own firearms although they are charged with doing so) after any federal felony is a Presidential Pardon that removes the felony conviction from your record.
Otherwise I could legally hunt in Alaska etc. but be subject to a federal felony charge of "felon in possession" at the whim of any assistant US attorney/prosecutor.

Refining NZ's 170-kilometre Auckland fuel pipeline burst on September 16, 2017, causing massive setbacks to its customers for 9 days.
Refining NZ says that the damage to the pipeline (70,000 litres of leaked fuel) was caused by an unidentified digger operator that may have happened as early as 2014.
The pipeline burst grounding many Auckland flights for 9 days and severely limited the fuel supply for ground transportation.
The pipeline is back up and running, but the damage to businesses, that were basically put out of operation for over a week, are looking for compensation. Refining NZ said that some customers have told them that they are waiting for the company's findings into the incident before determining whether they can pursue damages or if force majeure provisions in their contracts will hold up. Force majeure absolves a company of financial liability if an event is outside of their control and the event caused the company to be unable to meet their contractual obligations.
So, what happens when you can't access site data locally? If you have a server (even personal computer used to capture scale data) what happens when the machine dies or is interrupted? Like the pipeline crisis, where businesses can't access their server and/or local data, we experienced a digger cutting the fibre cable that provided client machine access to their server located onsite.
With WZ multi-master database replication and redundancy, client machines automatically rerouted and connected to the next available online server. Operations continued as usual.
Considering the pipeline was broken for over a week, we can only imagine the chaos if businesses were forced to use manual dockets for 2 days let alone 9. Our clients don't have to worry about IT infrastructure downtime or interrupted business operations because our passion is delivering smart software solutions and this why our loader scales and loader scale software is online and offline ready as well.
Have you been following the story? Do you think that Refining NZ was negligent or was this situation out of their control?

As I began exploring stones and crystals on my blog, I wanted to start with some stones my readers might be familiar with, but might not know how to work with energetically. Last week's, hemimorphite certainly isn't the most well-known of stones, but after my discussion with Rita on Talk-N-Angels, I thought I should cover it. I know whenever I'm listening to a podcast about crystals (Okay, I'm a bit of a podcast nerd) I just want to see what stones they are talking about. So, this week, I'm going back to the quartz family with a familiar stone to most people--amethyst.
Amethyst draws you in with its beautiful color, which ranges from pale lavender to a deep purple. And a deep deep purple that appears almost black. There is a type of amethyst called chevron amethyst, which is banded in a chevron pattern. Gorgeousness. It has a Moh's hardness of 7 and is indeed a member of the quartz family, making it resonate beautifully with other quartz stones like citrine, clear quartz, smoky quartz, aventurine, chalcedony, agates, carnelian, among others. Amethyst, like malachite and lapis lazuli, has a rich history and mythology. It is said to be in the ninth stone on the breastplate of the high priest of Israel. And amethyst was one of the stones where each of the twelve tribes were written. In medieval times, soldiers wore it as protection on the battle field. As far back as the Neolithic era, 25,000 BCE, amethyst was found in archaeological digs as part of gravesites and ritual. Through the Common Era, amethyst was seen as a stone of royalty, and used in crowns and rings of Kings and Queens.
Amethyst's name is derived from the Greek word for drunk (methustos). Actually, amethyst is a translation of amethustos, or not drunken. The Ancient Greek wore amethyst, and made wine glasses from amethyst, because they believed amethyst prevented intoxication. Indeed, amethyst today is considered the stone of sobriety, worn to help balance the mind, and bring clarity. It also emits calming energy, which helps relieve the frustration that often brings the first drink. I am personally working on a list of stones to be used with each of the Twelve Steps and the virtues associated with each step. I think amethyst is a beautiful first step stone, and one that works well with each stage of recovery.
The belief of amethyst's power of sobriety may stem from the myth of Amethyst in Ancient Greek Mythology, which may or may not have first derived from the French poet, Remy Belleau, who wrote often about crystals and precious stones. I can't find any documentation besides Wiki either way, so I am just sharing the entire mythology part of from Wikipedia page on amethyst.
In his poem "L'Amethyste, ou les Amours de Bacchus et d'Amethyste" (Amethyst or the loves of Bacchus and Amethyste), the French poet Remy Belleau (1528–1577) invented a myth in which Bacchus, the god of intoxication, of wine, and grapes was pursuing a maiden named Amethyste, who refused his affections. Amethyste prayed to the gods to remain chaste, a prayer which the chaste goddess Diana answered, transforming her into a white stone. Humbled by Amethyste's desire to remain chaste, Bacchus poured wine over the stone as an offering, dyeing the crystals purple.
Variations of the story include that Dionysus had been insulted by a mortal and swore to slay the next mortal who crossed his path, creating fierce tigers to carry out his wrath. The mortal turned out to be a beautiful young woman, Amethystos, who was on her way to pay tribute to Artemis. Her life was spared by Artemis, who transformed the maiden into a statue of pure crystalline quartz to protect her from the brutal claws. Dionysus wept tears of wine in remorse for his action at the sight of the beautiful statue. The god's tears then stained the quartz purple.
This myth and its variations are not found in classical sources. Although the titan Rhea does present Dionysus with an amethyst stone to preserve the wine-drinker's sanity in historical text.
Because of its association as an anti-intoxicant, in medieval times, it was said to also prevent the intoxication of love, so priests and monks often wore amethyst as a symbol for their vows of chastity. It has strong spiritual roots. Even Buddhists in Tibet used amethyst in prayer beads and carvings.
This makes perfect sense to me, because amethyst is a beautiful meditation ally, because it resonates and stimulates the crown chakra, as well as the third eye. It is also an incredibly protective stone, and I encourage people to use it in their toolkit of protection right alongside black tourmaline, onyx, smoky quartz, and other stones. It enhances your intuitive abilities and helps you activate your Higher Self. It is wonderful in environments, and works well in grids for protection and transmuting energy. Or just sitting in a room that you want purified and high vibrational. So, a large cluster of amethyst is a great addition to any room, but particularly a room for healers. It helps shield energy, as well as assist healing. One of the most beautiful aspects of amethyst is how it gently helps you see the root of your dis-ease. Naisha Ahsian says that amethyst assists "in eliminating emotion-based decision-making, allowing one to take actions based on higher guidance and spiritual understanding." WOWEE!
Amethyst works well with other stones. This grid, created with a flower of life grid pattern is used to stimulate upper chakra work and for meditation. Amethyst works beautifully in grids for addiction, protection, healing, health, disease, emotional balance and a whole host of other things. I personally love using amethyst in grid with black tourmaline as a protector, purifier, and transmuter of negative energy.
Because it works so hard for you, work hard for you amethyst by re-tuning it fairly often with a tuning fork, singing bowl or other resonator. Amethyst is particularly sensitive to sunlight, so be kind to her and help amethyst keep its beautiful color by keeping her out of sunlight. Amethyst is able to withstand water, so cleanse her through running water of the ocean, a stream or other natural body of water, and of course, you can set amethyst out in full moon light to soak up all that wisdom.
A beautiful affirmation for amethyst comes from Naisha Ahsian's work in Book of Stones.
I am purified, uplifted and protected through my connection to the Divine.
I would love to hear your thoughts and experience with amethyst, so share below in the comment section. Or ask to hear about any stone of interest to you. With love.

Q: How to find leader/kafka broker of a partition when working with kafka 0.7.2 client I am trying to write a SimpleConsumer for kafka and using kafka client 0.7.2 for doing the same. I am following the example given in the kafka 0.8 documentation:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/0.8.0+SimpleConsumer+Example
The example uses

private String findNewLeader(String a_oldLeader, String a_topic, int a_partition, int a_port) throws Exception

... to find a leader for a particular partition in the seed broker list provided. How do we do the same in kafka 0.7.2?  Some of the code in the example doesn't apply to 0.7.2.
Are there any specific examples of how to figure out a leader for a partition when working with kafka 0.7.2 client?

A: As my understanding goes in 0.7.2 you don't need to find the leader broker for a topic/partition. Instead, you need to connect to each broker and request messages for a specific partition from all of them.

The word "vintage" is rarely used with machine embroidery today. Machines, software, and designs are all new. But, new doesn't always mean better—especially when it comes to lace. Lace is never new or old, but rather a timeless piece that spans across generations.
This is where Classic Sewing's Vintage Lace comes in. Each design was manually punched one stitch at a time by Schiffli Master Digitizers back in the early 1950s. Originally created for the bridal industry with Old-World European craftsmanship, these lace designs are truly a piece of embroidery history. The hand-drawn drafts for these patterns were discovered in an old Schiffli factory in the late '90s when mass embroidery production moved overseas. The paper drafts have since been converted to run on your modern embroidery machine.
Whether it be clothing, quilts, pillows, or anything else, this soft, beautiful lace will add a touch of elegance to your next project. Bring the beauty of the past into your future, and stitch out a piece of embroidery history today.

ECG looks set for Apple Watch in China with new software betas
By Stephen Warwick
ECG results on Apple Watch Series 4 (Image credit: iMore)
The ECG Apple Watch feature may be headed to China soon.
The feature appears to be present in the new beta software versions released by Apple.
The feature was approved for use medically in the country earlier this year.
Apple's ECG feature, which can take a full electrocardiogram from your wrist on all of Apple's best Apple Watches, looks set for rollout in China soon.
According to ITHome, the new versions of iOS 15 and watchOS * feature the ECG feature, although this is yet to be confirmed by Apple.
According to the report Apple received approval for use of the feature as a medical device back in June, paving the way for this release.
Earlier this year Apple added ECG support for some 30 new countries. The feature is available on the Apple Watch Series 4 and 5, as well as the 6 and Apple Watch Series 7. It debuted on the former model back in 2018 and can be used to detect conditions such as atrial fibrillation, preventing death in some wearers. From Apple:
The ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4, Series 5, or Series 6 generates an ECG that is similar to a single-lead (or Lead I) ECG. In a doctor's office, a standard 12-lead ECG is usually taken. This 12-lead ECG records electrical signals from different angles in the heart to produce twelve different waveforms. The ECG app on Apple Watch measures a waveform similar to one of those twelve waveforms. A single-lead ECG is able to provide information about heart rate and heart rhythm and enables classification of AFib. However, a single-lead ECG cannot be used to identify some other conditions, like heart attacks. Single-lead ECGs are often prescribed by doctors for people to wear at home or within the hospital so that the doctor can get a better look at the underlying rate and rhythm of the heart. However, the ECG app on Apple Watch Series 4, Series 5, or Series 6 allows you to generate an ECG similar to a single-lead ECG without a prescription from your doctor.
The report follows a rumor from insider Ming-Chi Kuo, who says Apple will release three ned Watch versions in 2022 including a new Series 8, Apple Watch SE, and an all-new 'extreme Sports' edition, previously rumored and sometimes called the 'Explorer Edition.'

Beginning in the 1980's Las Vegas began losing much of its long, and at times, controversial history. Classic hotels, such as the Dunes, the Sands, and Sahara, were torn down to make way for the now famous mega-resorts. A city that was once known for glitz and glamour turned its attention to family friendly entertainment with hotels such as MGM Grand, Treasure Island, and The Mirage among others.
For many die-hard Las Vegas tourists, the city lost its allure. Guests no longer dressed up for dinner, casinos were large and confusing, and the $1.99 shrimp cocktail? Replaced with upscale, trendy restaurants.
Yet while the old hotels and marques that once populated the Strip are long gone, there are several unique gems in Las Vegas that have stuck around, and a few relics have survived.
Opening in 1958, this is the oldest steakhouse in Las Vegas and still maintains all of the ambiance of yesteryear. Located on Saraha Ave., just off the Strip, the restaurant has expanded over the years yet hasn't sacrificed its original concept of being a traditional steakhouse. With large red leather booths, dark paneled wood and a few original employees, this is a restaurant that honors its history. Regular customers who claimed their own table included Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Frank Sinatra, Natalie Wood, Al Hirt, Joe DiMaggio, Nat King Cole, and Elvis Presley. Guests can ask to sit at Sinatra's favorite booth, which is observed with a plaque. Sammy Davis Jr., would head here after performing his nightly show, as he was not allowed to eat at the hotel restaurants due to segregation.
This little chapel has been a significant part of Las Vegas history since it opened in 1942 next to the now defunct Hotel Last Frontier. As the years went on, and Las Vegas Boulevard expanded, the Little Church of the West, was moved several times. Today, it is located near the Mandalay Bay. Despite its various changes of address, the quaint building looks exactly the same, with virtually no updating except some paint and new carpeting. Even the pews are original to the building.
Located on historic Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Nugget first opened its doors in 1946 and has long been a popular destination for die-hard gamblers, since this was built strictly as a casino rather than a hotel/casino combination. With mahogany bars, crystal chandeliers, and imported marble floors, it was a one of a kind gambling Mecca.
Yet in 1973, Steve Wynn became President and started an ambitious renovation and expansion program that turned The Golden Nugget into a hotel and casino. In order to create some allure to Downtown Las Vegas and his new hotel, Wynn signed Frank Sinatra, who was essentially in the twilight of his career, to an exclusive contract. In 1984, Sinatra and Willie Nelson inaugurated the Theater Ballroom, a relatively small venue that Frank referred to as "the Dungeon." For the next three years he performed at the theater, and even recorded a live album, "Live from Las Vegas," here. Today, the Theater is still going strong, and contains only 600 sits.
This was the fifth hotel to open along the Las Vegas Strip, and operated from 1950 – 2000. Howard Hughes lived on the 9th floor, and later bought the hotel for $7 million dollars. It changed management several times after he died, before Steve Wynn purchased it. The Desert Inn was later imploded to make way for The Wynn hotel.
Opening in 1950, this iconic hotel was long known for it's rotating silver slipper perched on top of the hotel. In1968, Howard Hughes purchased the hotel, and myth has it that he was paranoid a camera was in the point of the shoe and was taking pictures of him in his suite at the Desert Inn. Once he owned the hotel, he had the lights turned off and the rotation stopped.
Signs from the Flame Restaurant Bow & Arrow Motel and Binion's Horseshoe are also here not to mention much more.
These historic Las Vegas sites are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, it was just announced that Wayne Newton's former estate has opened as a museum. Trying to become the "Graceland West," the mansion is filled with his cars, opulent gilded furniture and other memorabilia when he lived here for over 45 years. Located in southeastern Las Vegas, the 52 acre Casa de Shenandoah is open now for tours. Newton moved out of the property in 2013.
While the days of listening to Frank Sinatra sing at the Sands, or Elvis throwing out his towels to adorning fans at the Hilton are long gone, Vegas has some definitive, nostalgic experiences for those that what to capture just a brief moment of when Las Vegas truly was the epitome of cool.
What do you miss about the old Las Vegas?

A man has been killed in San Marcos in what is being a called a "freak accident." A father and a son were retrieving a toolbox that had fallen out of a vehicle and onto an Interstate 35 ramp. Unfortunately, another vehicle had noticed the toolbox on the road, moved to avoid it and hit both men. The son was killed and the father was sent to the Central Texas Medical Center.
This is one of the many ways that people are hurt or killed when exiting their vehicle on the highway. However, it is more common to see someone exit his or her car on a highway because it breaks down or runs out of gas. The driver or passenger can often be seen inspecting the car or attempting to fix the vehicle. Exiting your car is strongly discouraged, as it can be extremely dangerous.
Stop your car as far away from traffic as possible.
Try to exit the Interstate or busy highway, if possible. It is better to risk the damage that could occur by driving on a tire rim than it is to risk being hit by traffic while fixing a tire.
If you cannot exit the highway, make sure you never have your back to oncoming traffic, so that you can see the drivers. Make sure you can easily get out of the way if a distracted driver does not see you. It can help to have one of your passengers alert you of possible dangers.
If you have a cellphone and you call for help, then it is better to wait by staying in the car with the doors locked and your seat belts buckled.
If you have to walk to a gas station, then it is best to exit from the right side of the car. Stay as far away from traffic as possible. Use any guardrails if they are around.
Overall, it is highly recommended that you avoid getting out of your car, if possible.

Q: IR LED power density calculation I made the basic IR LED circuit shown to augment the existing system on a night vision security camera.
No datasheet was found for the LEDs so I just measured the current to extract the power of ~0.1W total for the 4 LEDs. The beam angle is 30deg.
Is the calculation below correct to determine the approximate power at a distance of 0.2m from the radiating source?
Specifically want to make sure that power density is within the 'safe' region guideline I was able to find online (~100 W/m2 at a distance of ~0.2 m for up to 1000 sec).
The light emitted seems to be a comparable brightness to the in-built IR camera illuminator when viewed through the IR camera.
Commercial IR arrays for security cameras I was able to find online seem to be in the ~4 W up to 20 W+ so I assume this 0.1 W is in the fairly safe region.
Here is the LED I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BPAS0BA
