Q: Azure Service Fabric publish upgrade from Visual Studio - PowerShell Script Error I am trying to publish an upgrade of a Service Fabric application from Visual Studio 2017 to our Azure Service Fabric Cluster.  In mid-September, I successfully published an upgrade of this same app with same PowerShell script to SFC with no issues.  I am now trying to upgrade it at the next version number and suddenly getting this error.
I get the following error during Publish, related to Powershell.

Any idea what's going on here?  Again, when I last published this in September, with the same script, no issues at all, and I haven't made any changes to the solution other than upgrading the Manifest versions to push it out as a new upgraded version.
I noted this S/O thread: Getting error as part of trying to upgrade Service Fabric Application using Start-ServiceFabricApplicationUpgrade and saw the user's error was similar, but the answer does not apply to my issue because all three steps in the answer provided are definitely included in my powershell deploy script.
I can add the deployment script if helpful, but will wait until that is requested as it's long, and I only want to post it here if someone feels it's needed to diagnose.

A: You are getting this error because you are changing some parameters in a DefaultService that are not allowed by default.
The link aka.ms/upgrade-defaultservices shown in the error logs explain this.

Some default service parameters defined in the application manifest
can also be upgraded as part of an application upgrade.
Only the service parameters that support being changed through
Update-ServiceFabricService can be changed as part of an upgrade. The
behavior of changing default services during application upgrade is as
follows:

*

*Default services in the new application manifest that do not already exist in the cluster are created.

*Default services that exist in both the previous and new application manifests are updated. The parameters of the default
service in the new application manifest overwrite the parameters of
the existing service. The application upgrade will rollback
automatically if updating a default service fails.

*Default services that do not exist in the new application manifest are deleted if they exist in the cluster. Note that deleting a default
service will result in deleting all that service's state and cannot be
undone.

Also, there is this other SO question about the same thing: Default service descriptions can not be modified as part of upgrade set EnableDefaultServicesUpgrade to true
The item 1 above is a common approach, where new services are added to the solution and later created during the upgrade without errors, the item 2 and 3 are the restricted approach that requires the EnableDefaultServicesUpgrade.
The item 2, is like described in the answer you've added, you changed MinReplicaSize and TargetReplicaSize to 1 during a manual update, when SF validated the state of your service for upgrade, it identified the difference and prevented the upgrade to continue, if you had set cluster setting EnableDefaultServicesUpgrade to true it would continue and override the default values.
The item 3, would occur you when you removed the service and added again, you had changed or misspelled the name, SF default settings would prevent the deletion of this service.
Regarding the solution you've found(delete and recreate), is not ideal,
In scenarios where you have stateful services running in production, would be risky to apply, because you would have to backup the state, re-deploy the services, and restore the backup, in some cases, depending on what these changes are, you wouldn't be able to restore the backup, because they have to match with the original services definitions (partitions type, number, and son on). You would also lose the benefits of Rolling Updates, and your service would go down maybe for a while if these backups are big.

A: The issue had to do with us trying to push out the application with mismatched node instances.  We have a stateful service running under this application that is supposed to have MinReplicaSize and TargetReplicaSize set to 3. Yesterday, due to an issue, we deleted and re-created this service inside the SF Explorer. Upon doing so, it reset the replica size parameters back to 1. So we used a Powershell script to change them back to 3, but that script did not include all the necessary commands to get the service back to the exact state it was in before we deleted it.  So today when we went to upgrade the app, the app in SFC wouldn't accept an upgrade from VS deployment, because of mismatches between what was in the parameters of the solution vs. what was in our SFC. To resolve, we re-deleted those services first, then deployed from VS, and no more error.

Much of what we know of the history of costume has been compiled from depictions of clothing and accessories in works of art from all periods and in all media, representing religious and secular themes. A little-explored avenue has been the function of garments and textiles in expressing the law, as found in illustrations to thirteenth- and fourteenth-century manuscripts of Roman and canon law. Here illuminators manipulated elements of fashion, fit, accessories, and hairstyle, to characterize passages that discuss, for example, the division of authority, marriage contracts, crime and punishment, or the proper behavior of laymen and clerics. The physical appearance of human beings and their surroundings in these pictorial compositions informs us about contemporaneous aesthetic conventions, and this visual construction of cultural identity gives us an idea of how the viewer was expected to react to the image. Along with their often ingenious interpretation of textual themes, legal miniatures cast some light as well on the ways in which artists visually presented complex juridical concepts to medieval viewers. This chapter will explore three basic levels at which textiles and dress are used in a legal context: first, as background scenery; second, to identify protagonists, and last, to connote or explicate a point of law.

Hon Bill Marmion BE MBA MLA
Former Minister for State Development; Transport; Innovation
Funding for Broome to Cape Leveque Road
$12.5 million pledged for Broome to Cape Leveque Road
Upgrades to improve road safety and access for remote communities
Project to provide training and employment opportunities for Aboriginal people
Construction to generate about 80 jobs
The $65 million project to seal the Broome to Cape Leveque Road is now fully funded with the Liberal National Government committing $12.5 million in the Mid-year Review, in addition to the Commonwealth's contribution of $52.5 million.
Premier Colin Barnett said constructing an all-weather sealed road from Broome to the communities on the Dampier Peninsula would deliver many benefits for the people living there, including better access to community services.
"The project will also provide training and employment opportunities for Aboriginal people in the region and generate around 80 jobs during the four-year construction period, in addition to boosting tourism and business opportunities in Broome and the Kimberley," Mr Barnett said.
"The improvement works include constructing and bitumen-sealing the unsealed sections of the road, reconstructing the existing narrow sealed section near Broome Highway, and upgrading the intersection at Broome Highway."
Transport Minister Bill Marmion said construction works were planned to commence during the 2017 Kimberley dry season once all the conditions of the environmental and heritage approvals had been met.
"Main Roads will be managing the project on behalf of the Shire of Broome and will be meeting with the communities and businesses to include local involvement in the delivery of the project," Mr Marmion said.
The Commonwealth's contribution of $52.5 million towards the $65 million project will come from the Northern Australia Roads Programme.
The road from Broome to Cape Leveque is 200km, of which 110km is already sealed
The remaining 90km will be sealed in stages at a cost of $65 million
There are an estimated 1,425 people living in 71 Aboriginal communities on the Dampier Peninsula

Wando marching band all the way
Local high school places high in national championship
by T. Ballard Lesemann
provided by marchingband.com Wando High School Marching Band
They haven't headlined the big local music clubs or made the news for any sort of decadent rock 'n' roll behavior, but the East Cooper-based musicians in the Wando High School Marching Band certainly deserve praise in all the local music pages.
After a season of local and regional competitions, the full-scale band — led by director Scott Rush — made its way to the finals in the Bands of America Grand National Championships in Indianapolis, Ind., last week, performing in the Lucas Oil Stadium in front of 30,000 people.
Only one other S.C. marching band had ever achieved such a feat. Earlier this fall, the band won its fifth state title in the S.C. State 5A Championship Competition and its division at the Super Regionals in Atlanta.

Trump's impeachment case: Trump avoids conviction with 57-43 votes in Senate
The historical contraction in the Japanese economy
Boris Johnson: More than 15 million people vaccinated in the UK is a major milestone
Former President Donald Trump, who was tried for dismissal at the Senate General Assembly due to the Congressional raid on January 6 in the USA, was found not guilty on the 5th day of his trial in the Senate.
In the voting made after the closing presentations at the Senate General Assembly, 57 senators voted against Trump, while 43 senators voted that Trump is not guilty.
Thus, Trump, who required 67 votes to be found guilty in the 100-seat Senate, was cleared of his impeachment charge entitled "inciting the people to revolt".
In the voting, it was noteworthy that in addition to 50 Democratic senators, 7 Republican senators also voted against Trump.
Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney, Ben Sasse, and Patrick Toomey, who previously made negative statements against Trump, were the names that acted with the Democrats in the vote.
The dismissal trial, which was completed in a total of 5 days, was recorded as the fastest dismissal process in US history. Trump, who was the first president to be dismissed for the second time in the history of the United States, thanked his lawyers and members of the Senate and House of Representatives representing the constitution, in his written statement after he was found not guilty in the impeachment trial in the Senate.
Trump, unrepentant, welcomed his second impeachment acquittal and said his movement "has only just begun." He slammed the trial as "yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country."
US President Joe Biden stated that although former President Donald Trump, who was charged with inciting the Congressional raid on January 6, was acquitted in the Senate, the accusation would not be controversial and said, "This sad part of our history reminded us that democracy is fragile and must always be defended."
After Trump was found not guilty in his impeachment trial in the Senate, Biden said he believed that opponents of the sage, including Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell, " shamefully abused " Trump's post.
Emphasizing that there is no room for violence and extremism in the USA, Biden said, "As Americans and especially as leaders, each of us has a duty and responsibility to defend the truth and overcome lies. That is how we end this uncivil war and heal the very soul of our nation. That is the task ahead. And it's a task we must undertake together."
Japan's economy, the world's third-largest after the United States and China, grew 3 percent during the October to December period, for an annualized growth rate of 12.7 percent. It was the country's second consecutive quarter of growth.
Still, the past two-quarters of growth did not make up for the damage wreaked by the pandemic. The economy ended down 4.8 percent for the year, the second-largest contraction in its history.
According to Kantei preliminary data, the volume of GDP in 2020 fell from 555 trillion yen in 2019 to 529.19 trillion yen ($ 5 trillion). "A decline in GDP appears unavoidable in Q1 2021 due to the state of emergency declared by the government in a number of Japanese prefectures," said Naoya Oshikubo, senior economist at Sumi Trust, in a note published ahead of Monday's figure.
The Japanese economy had entered 2020 in a weakened state brought about by a rise in the national consumption tax, a stark drop in trade with China, and a devastating typhoon. The pandemic then struck a major blow. As other economies crashed, Japan shrank in its worst performance since 1955, when the country began using the gross domestic product to measure its economy. But thanks in large part to the country's efforts to keep the pandemic under control, Japan avoided the worst of the economic damage that savaged the United States and much of Europe.
Private capital expenditures decreased by 5.8 percent and housing investments by 7.1 percent. Public investments rose 3.5 percent and central government spending rose 2.7 percent. Private consumption, which accounts for more than half of Japan's GDP, fell by 5.9 percent. Private consumption caused a decline as a result of "stay at home" calls to combat Covid-19.
Yasutoshi Nishimura, Cabinet Member Responsible for Covid-19 Measures and Economic Recovery, said in a statement on the subject that the 2020 GDP remained serious and the last quarter displayed "potential resistance".
According to estimates based on experts by the Kyodo agency, negative growth is expected in the first quarter of 2021 as a result of the state of emergency applied in 10 states across the country, including the capital Tokyo, against Covid-19.
Japan's Nikkei stock index has surged to a 30-year high, lifted by better-than-expected growth figures overnight and Covid-19 vaccine hopes. The Nikkei closed over the 30,000-point mark for the first time in 1989. Japan is expected to start administering the Covid-19 vaccine this week, giving stock prices a boost.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that as of today, the number of people who have received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine has exceeded 15 million. Johnson said this was "an important turning point in the extraordinary success".
The government aimed to vaccinate the four priority groups in the vaccination ranking by mid-February. A press conference on the subject is expected tomorrow.
Boris Johnson, who posted a video today, congratulated the nationwide effort and added:
"But nobody should be complacent. We have a long way ahead and we will inevitably encounter some obstacles. Only thanks to what we have achieved so far, we can act confidently."
Sir Simon Stevens, director of the National Health System, said that what has been achieved in the last 10 weeks after the first vaccine is "a great joint success". "Our vaccination program is the largest and fastest in Europe."
Health Minister Matt Hancock stated that one in four adults is now immune to this disease. But he cautioned: "There is so much more to do and I urge anyone eligible to step forward and take up their appointment. The vaccine is our route to freedom – we will beat this virus jab by jab."
So far. the vaccination program has been aimed at the top four priority groups, including NHS frontline staff, care home residents and workers, over-70s, and people deemed clinically extremely vulnerable. These groups have accounted for 88 percent of the UK's Covid-19 deaths so far, according to the Department of Health and Social Care, and are estimated by the JCVI to be some 15 million people.
From today on, the vaccination program enters a new phase, with over-65s and the clinically vulnerable being invited to book a jab.
The UK is currently administering the Pfizer-BioNTech and Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccines. The vaccine of the US company Moderna has also been approved in the country, but this vaccine is not expected to reach the country before April.
Earlier, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab rejected calls from MPs in his party to put a date on when England's lockdown measures will be eased, saying the government will be "cautious".
On Saturday, the prime minister said he was "optimistic" he will be able to set out plans later this month for a "cautious" easing of England's lockdown, citing "huge progress" made with the vaccine rollout.

Cinema and playful visits at the Querini Stampalia.
Game is a central theme in the cinema world. In the period of silent movies, game in particular meant to deal with sports in a playful way. Clumsiness, shyness, bad luck, willingness to succeed: these are the elements that define the characters creates by two of the greatest comic actors of American cinema, Harold Loyd and Buster Keaton.
To them is dedicated Play and Replay, curated by Fabbrica del Vedere and Archivio Carlo Montanaro, scheduled for the 9th and 10th February, at 18.30 in Fondazione Querini Stampalia. The screenings, accompanied with live music by Ulisse Trabacchin, express all the intelligent joyfulness of a cinema that was still somehow naive, but very sharp nevertheless.
To dive completely into the carnivalesque atmosphere, on the 9th and 10th of February at 16.30, the Querini Stampalia presents The Carnival. Playful visits. An itinerary, in Italian and English, to know more about the ancient celebration through the paintings of the Fondazione: a fascinating journey among masquerades, games in the squares and in the palaces. All activities are free of charge.
Free admission to the movies, subject to availability.
Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer and Sam Taylor, with Jobyna Ralston, Brooks Benedict, James H.Anderson. Produced by William R.Fraser for the Harold Lloyd Corporation, Usa 1925, 70'.

Rhodium is one of the most rare and valuable of all of the precious metals. It is so rare, in fact, that it is not feasible to mine for it alone. Therefore, it is collected as a very small byproduct of platinum mining. As the rules of supply and demand dictate, it is extremely valuable for its rarity and extensive use in the jewelry industry and in the manufacturing of high-power search lights and headlights.
Rhodium is a member of the platinum family, is resistant to tarnish, and is one of the most reflective metals that exists. These qualities are what make it the perfect material for giving jewelry a finish that creates a very bright and shiny appearance. It is almost always used in the finishing process of white gold jewelry manufacturing and repair, and it can also be used on silver and platinum jewelry. Rhodium plating is recommended for general maintenance of white gold jewelry, especially rings that are exposed to more wear, to keep the metal looking bright and silvery-white.
Common Misconceptions: Gold is gold, is gold, is gold. There is no such thing as a white or silver-toned atom of gold. Gold that is used in jewelry manufacturing is classified by how many parts out of 24 are gold. 24 karat gold is the only form of pure gold, which is very sunny yellow. All other gold is a composition of gold and other alloys that add durability, alter color, and also help to bring the cost down. Common alloys that are used in jewelry manufacturing are silver, palladium, nickel, and copper. For gold that is marked 14 karat, 14 parts out of 24 (about 58%) are gold, and the remaining (approximately) 42% is composed of other alloys. The alloys can tone down the yellow color of the gold, but it will still have a faint gold tone until it is rhodium plated.
How often should I have my white gold jewelry rhodium plated? Rings and bracelets that are worn often are typically recommended to be rhodium plated every 6 months to a year. Pendants, pins, and earrings are generally not exposed to as much wear and tear and may never need to be re-plated.
Why does my grandmother's white gold jewelry not need rhodium plating? Before the 1940's, when rhodium plating was widely used in the jewelry industry, palladium was the alloy of choice for white gold. Palladium and Nickel both have a bleaching effect when mixed with gold, which yields the almost-white tone. Using palladium as an alloy in white gold produces a much more pure almost-white color, and is more resistant to tarnishing. Nickel is a more affordable alloy, and when it became the industry standard to rhodium-plate white gold, jewelry manufacturers began using nickel as the primary alloy in white gold. Gold with nickel alloy is more vulnerable to tarnish and can produce a slightly more gold-toned metal.
Can you turn yellow gold jewelry into white gold jewelry by rhodium plating it? Yes, and no. It certainly can be done, if done correctly. However, as the rhodium wears off, it will be much more noticeable. This should be thought of as a temporary fix that will need regular re-plating for maintenance.
I am allergic to the nickel in my gold jewelry. Will rhodium plating make me not have an allergic reaction to my jewelry? If done correctly, rhodium plating can be a viable solution to allergic reactions from nickel. Rhodium is a brittle metal, which is why it is only used for plating, and not in regular jewelry manufacturing. Because of this, if it is rushed, done incorrectly, or done in too thin of a coat, it can have microscopic cracks in the plating which can allow nickel to leach through and cause a reaction.


Get technical and historical information and resources about East Cape lighthouse.
A shot of East Cape lighthouse and surrounding homestead.
East Cape Lighthouse is located on the east coast of the North Island. Situated on the Eastland peninsula, it is the most easterly lighthouse in New Zealand.
East Cape Lighthouse is accessible to the public. It can be reached on foot from the car park at the end of East Cape Road.
From the East Cape Lighthouse, visitors can look out onto East Island where the lighthouse was originally located.
The lighthouse at East Cape was originally located on East Island, just off the tip of East Cape. The East Island light was first lit in 1900. This location was very troublesome right from the start.
The government steamer capsized while bringing tower construction materials to East Island, and four men died.
East Island was also very unstable and the cliffs were constantly being eroded and slipping into the ocean. By the 1920s these slips were coming close to the lighthouse, and the decision was made to relocate the lighthouse to the mainland.
The light on East Island was extinguished in April 1922. The tower and all the buildings were relocated to the mainland. The East Cape Lighthouse began operation in December 1922.
The light was originally illuminated with a paraffin oil burning lamp, however, this was later replaced with an incandescent oil burning lamp.
In 1954 the light was converted from oil to diesel-generated electricity. In 1971 the lighthouse was connected to mains power.
The station was automated and the last keeper was withdrawn in 1985.
The original light was replaced in February 2002 with a modern rotation beacon, illuminated by a 50 watt tungsten halogen bulb. The original light can be viewed in the base of the tower.
The new light is powered by mains electricity and has a backup battery in case of a power failure.
Visible in the base of the lighthouse are the old lenses that were removed when the new beacon was installed.
Life at East Island Lighthouse was practically hard for the keepers. The clay soil made it hard to grow vegetables or keep stock.
When the light station was relocated to the mainland life improved. Keepers could travel into town for supplies and their children could attend the local school. They were also able to grow vegetables and keep stock.
The lighthouse at East Cape was originally a three keeper station but this was reduced to two keepers and then just one keeper, until the last keeper was withdrawn in 1985.
Today little remains to indicate that there was once housing and associated buildings for three keepers on this site.

ATG NEWS RELEASE: Court dismisses Campbell High School facilities lawsuit
HONOLULU – Attorney General Doug Chin announced today that in a written ruling dated December 30, 2016 and received by the Attorney General today, state circuit court judge Edwin C. Nacino has dismissed the lawsuit filed by State Representative Bob McDermott alleging that Campbell High School students have the right under the state and federal constitutions to better school facilities and to more extracurricular opportunities than are currently being offered.
Among other things, the lawsuit, filed by the Representative in his personal capacity, sought an order commanding the State to appropriate $35 million for the construction of a new classroom building and other facility upgrades at Campbell High. Even though the court dismissed this lawsuit, heat abatement measures have already been implemented at Campbell and additional measures are being planned for the school. Last year the State Legislature appropriated $12 million to the Department of Education for the planning, design and construction of a new 30 classroom building at Campbell. The Department of Education is requesting $26.7 million from the Legislature this year in order to complete the project.
A copy of the court order in McDermott v. Mizumoto is attached.

Germany Welcomes Immigrants & rewarded with Rapes
Germany Welcomes Immigrants & rewarded with Rapes; This is what happens when you invite Barbarians
An unimaginable tragedy; Germans getting Raped for welcoming Barbarians
Although the rape took place in June, police kept silent about it for nearly three months, until local media published a story about the crime. According to an editorial comment in the newspaper Westfalen-Blatt, police are refusing to go public about crimes involving refugees and migrants because they do not want to give legitimacy to critics of mass migration.
A 13-year-old Muslim girl was raped by another asylum seeker at a refugee facility in Detmold, a city in west-central Germany. The girl and her mother reportedly fled their homeland to escape a culture of sexual violence.
Approximately 80% of the refugees/migrants at the shelter in Munich are male… the price for sex with female asylum seekers is ten euros. — Bavarian Broadcasting (Bayerischer Rundfunk). Police in the Bavarian town of Mering, where a 16-year-old-girl was raped on September 11, have issued a warning to parents not to allow their children to go outside unaccompanied. In the Bavarian town of Pocking, administrators of the Wilhelm-Diess-Gymnasium have warned parents not to let their daughter's wear revealing clothing in order to avoid "misunderstandings."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrChUKgypXw
"When Muslim teenage boys go to open air swimming pools, they are overwhelmed when they see girls in bikinis. These boys, who come from a culture where for women it is frowned upon to show naked skin, will follow girls and bother them without their realizing it. Naturally, this generates fear." — Bavarian politician, quoted in Die Welt.
A police raid on the Munich refugee facility found that guards hired to provide security at the site were trafficking drugs and weapons and were turning a blind eye to the prostitution.
Meanwhile, the raping of German women by asylum seekers is becoming commonplace.
A growing number of women and young girls housed in refugee shelters in Germany are being raped, sexually assaulted and even forced into prostitution by male asylum seekers, according to German social work organizations with first-hand knowledge of the situation.
Many of the rapes are occurring in mixed-gender shelters, where, due to a lack of space, German authorities are forcing thousands of male and female migrants to share the same sleeping areas and restroom facilities. Conditions for women and girls at some shelters are so perilous that females are being described as "wild game" fighting off Muslim male predators. But many victims, fearing reprisals, are keeping silent, social workers say.At the same time, growing numbers of German women in towns and cities across the country are being raped by asylum seekers from Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Many of the crimes are being downplayed by German authorities and the national Full Story
Read the full story for the information is quite shocking. And Merkel still defends her actions. Why is not Europe pointing fingers at the real culprits? Who are they? Who do you think? If the US never invaded Syria and tried to force its insane form of democracy on other nations, we would not have this mess. There is overwhelming evidence against the House of Saud and its minions, but instead, we chose to attack Syria when the House of Saud is the one that should be taken down. Our government has gone insane; you cannot force your culture or on another nation, no matter how hard you try. Europe instead of giving the US the middle finger rolled over like a dog and did what it was told. As it bit the hand that Fed it, it is now doomed to lick the boot that kicks it. To end this trend, Europe needs to side with Russia and eventually China and bring an end to this mess. The fastest way to solve the refugee crisis is to end the Syrian war. Europe needs to be ready for the next wave of immigration, and this will come from Africa. This is the only continent that is experiencing a huge increase in its population, but with little economic relief in sight. So millions of Africans (many of them are uneducated and from different religious backgrounds) will start to look towards Europe for relief. The clash of civilisations and cultures has just begun. If the situation is handled properly, there is still a chance that the damage can be minimised especially in the Nordic and Eastern European countries.
If our religious provocation index should gain 700-1000 points this year, then we expect all hell to break lose in Europe so let's hope that it starts to correct. It has not experienced a strong correction even once since its inception.
German authorities accused of playing down refugee shelter sex crime reports
Germany's police union and women's rights groups accused the authorities on Tuesday of playing down reports of harassment, sexual assault and even rape at refugee shelters because they feared a backlash against asylum seekers.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere called on Germans to avoid succumbing to a blanket suspicion of the hundreds of thousands of migrants arriving in the country, saying an unbelievable number of rumors were being spread on the Internet.
But police union chief Rainer Wendt said he believed that authorities in Germany's federal states, which are responsible for housing asylum seekers, were playing down the problem of assaults on women in the shelters.
"It is understandable that there is the desire to calm things down politically," Wendt told Reuters. But he, along with women's groups, believed that ignoring the problem would be counterproductive. "There is a lot of glossing over going on. But this doesn't represent reality," he said.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzhR4pf25Ls
With public opinion hardening on the refugee influx, German authorities appear anxious to avoid giving extreme-right groups any opportunity to stir up hostility towards migrants, many of whom are Muslims including those fleeing the Syrian civil war.
"There are an unbelievable number of rumors regarding this issue, which are being spread massively over social networks," De Maiziere told a news conference.
"The federal authorities are investigating these resolutely and often the rumors are not true," he said. "There are things worthy of criticism. But there is no reason for a general suspicion of refugees." No comprehensive official figures are available on the extent of the problem at the shelters, which local authorities are setting to provide temporary accommodation around the country in places such as sports halls and empty office blocks. But Wendt said the police were reporting cases to the state governments, which have their own interior ministers. These people should take note, he said: "The interior ministers would be well advised to have a look at their own reports to know what actually happens on our streets at night and in the shelters."
Wendt said that a high number of cases went unreported as women rarely dared to file complaints with police or public prosecutors. This is a general problem with sex crime, regardless of the community where it is committed, due to the victims' feelings of fear and shame. However, Barbara Helfrich of the charity Paritaetischer Bund in the central state of Hesse, said some women had come forward. "We have several trustworthy reports on sexual violence and assaults from victims, as well as advisory groups and NGOs," she told Reuters. Full Story
The far right is going to gain power in Europe and launch a massive attack against immigrants; this could lead to a civil war type situation in some countries. Bottom line, Europeans should be gearing up for a surge in violence; the only difference is that the Europeans will be the ones beating the war drums this time. Remember, we only base our observations on trends and we take the observers viewpoint. We never force our opinion down anyone's throat, to do so would be unbecoming and childish.

Q: Joomla: Lot of queries make my site-performance bad after going to dead-link since migration from my old joomla 1.5 site to 3.x last year, i have crazy performance problems: The time to first get is very high (> 1000 ms)
after hours and nights working and searching to find the reason, i find out that certain actions on my site produces lot of queries.

*

*(Maybe) Bots called very often completely irrelevant pageviews on my site, that generates lot of queries
For example:
This is my impressum-link: http://www.hdsports.at/impressum/
Bots called these link: /impressum/images/joomgallery/thumbnails/ballsport_4/faustball_47/bundesliga_2012-02_20120212_1204309660.jpg
I have no menu-point under impressum. I dont no which bot (or anything) other called these links.

In my "/logs"-Folder i let producing sql-files from every pageview on my site (github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/6202)
so i looked on the "HDsports.at_impressum108.sql"-file after i called these dead link.
And what i see on the sql-file.
More then 5000 of these queries:
SELECT m.tag_id,t.* FROM ngie_contentitem_tag_map AS m  INNER JOIN ngie_tags AS t  ON m.tag_id = t.id WHERE m.type_alias = 'com_content.article' AND m.content_item_id = 8662 AND t.published = 1 AND t.access IN (1,1,5);
there is for every of my article-id's one query.
one row before the first of these queries, there is these query:
SELECT a.id, a.title, a.alias, a.introtext, a.fulltext, a.checked_out, a.checked_out_time, a.catid, a.created, a.created_by, a.created_by_alias, CASE WHEN a.modified = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' THEN a.created ELSE a.modified END as modified, a.modified_by, uam.name as modified_by_name,CASE WHEN a.publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' THEN a.created ELSE a.publish_up END as publish_up,a.publish_down, a.images, a.urls, a.attribs, a.metadata, a.metakey, a.metadesc, a.access, a.hits, a.xreference, a.featured, a.language,  LENGTH(a.fulltext) AS readmore,CASE WHEN badcats.id is not null THEN 0 ELSE a.state END AS state,c.title AS category_title, c.path AS category_route, c.access AS category_access, c.alias AS category_alias,CASE WHEN a.created_by_alias > ' ' THEN a.created_by_alias ELSE ua.name END AS author,ua.email AS author_email,parent.title as parent_title, parent.id as parent_id, parent.path as parent_route, parent.alias as parent_alias,ROUND(v.rating_sum / v.rating_count, 0) AS rating, v.rating_count as rating_count,c.published, CASE WHEN badcats.id is null THEN c.published ELSE 0 END AS parents_published FROM ngie_content AS a LEFT JOIN ngie_content_frontpage AS fp ON fp.content_id = a.id LEFT JOIN ngie_categories AS c ON c.id = a.catid LEFT JOIN ngie_users AS ua ON ua.id = a.created_by LEFT JOIN ngie_users AS uam ON uam.id = a.modified_by LEFT JOIN ngie_categories as parent ON parent.id = c.parent_id LEFT JOIN ngie_content_rating AS v ON a.id = v.content_id LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT cat.id as id FROM ngie_categories AS cat JOIN ngie_categories AS parent ON cat.lft BETWEEN parent.lft AND parent.rgt WHERE parent.extension = 'com_content' AND parent.published != 1 GROUP BY cat.id ) AS badcats ON badcats.id = c.id WHERE a.access IN (1,1,5) AND c.access IN (1,1,5) AND CASE WHEN badcats.id is null THEN a.state ELSE 0 END = 1 AND (a.publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR a.publish_up <= '2015-04-13 23:49:52') AND (a.publish_down = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' OR a.publish_down >= '2015-04-13 23:49:52') ORDER BY  c.lft,   CASE WHEN a.publish_up = '0000-00-00 00:00:00' THEN a.created ELSE a.publish_up END  DESC ,  a.created;
It means nothing other, than show ALL articles, and i have more than 5.000.
Ok, than it is logically that there running 5.000 of the "SELECT m.tag_id"-queries when the query before ask for all the 5.000 articles.
But the problem is:
I dont find a solution to solve that problem. I dont know why or what produces these "SELECT"-query.
When i look on my "log/"-order, the most times every minute produce a bot (or anything) other a big file with these slow queries. Most time its my "HDsports.at_start1823.sql"-File - thats my frontpage. But only when redirect from a dead-link to frontpage. When i called frontpage (or impressum, or any other page on my site) directly there are not these slow querys.
My suspicion is that, these querys produces a big load on my database and makes my site so slowly.

*When i save an new article in an category with 1.000 existing article, the time for saving is 2 minutes.
when i open in the "log/"-order my "HDsports.at_com_contentedit"-sql-File there are lot of these queries:

UPDATE ngie_content SET ordering = 1 WHERE id = '10403';
UPDATE ngie_content SET ordering = 2 WHERE id = '10293';
There is for every existing article id in these category one query, that set the article 1 number higher. The Article with id "10403", that had before 0, goes now to 1. The Article with ID "10293" goes from 1 to 2. And so on.
Is these normal?
I maked a new Joomla-Installation and only imported my articles and categorys (with J2XML), and than i saved again an article in the category with the 1000 existing articles, and the waiting time where also 2 minutes.
So i ask me, why i am the only 1 joomla-user who have these problem? i think many joomla-user have categorys with more than 1.000 articles and i dont found any discussions about these problem...
If anybody will take a look on my file: i have uploaded it on my server:
http://www.hdsports.at/slow-queries.zip
Sorry for my long text. I hope anyone have the time to read that all and maybe can help to solve these problem.
Best regards from Austria, Tom! Now its late, i should go to bed ;)

A: Before doing any core optimization, you should make sure that you all your tables are using InnoDB and that MySQL is optimized for InnoDB databases - there are simple settings changes that you can make in your my.cnf file that will make your website fly. If you still have problems, then you should consider having a more power server (make sure that the server has lots of memory and has an SSD drive), if all else fails, then you should go with optimizing the core, but I suspect that it won't have to come to this.


A start-up that allows members of local communities to voice their opinion on planning and environmental issues has raised £243,000 investment, led by angel networks Clearly Social Angels and Angels in the City.
Founded by Mike Saunders, Commonplace operates a map-based website and mobile app which allows residents to comment on their local environment, be consulted on planning and building works, and voice their opinions on the future of the neighbourhood.
Users log in to Commonplace and rate certain areas, with the ability to respond to comments and questions. It is intended to be used by housing associations and local authorities to involve local residents in community regeneration work and building projects.
Commonplace said its service aimed to solve the "significant issues" involved in local planning, by putting the entire process on a single platform and reducing the risk of "hijacking" from unscrupulous property developers or lobbying groups.
The £243,000 investment comprised backing of £50,000 each from City of London-sponsored angel network Angels in the City and social-focused consortium Clearly Social Angels, alongside £50,000 from The Big Venture challenge, an investment fund and accelerator programme for social ventures run by UnLtd. The remaining funds came from a group of private angel investors.
Commonplace's service is already being used in 20 communities across London, including the Poplar district in Tower Hamlets. Robert Lansbury, of the Poplar Housing and Regeneration Community Association (HARCA), said: "[Commonplace's] information is now being used to influence decision making about new community projects and developments.
Mike Saunders, founder and CEO of Commonplace, added: "Public consultation is both a huge market and a major social challenge, which we aim to address using tools of the digital era.

39 million reasons the Bills' Super Bowl window is getting smaller
by: Nick Veronica
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) – The Buffalo Bills have enjoyed elite quarterback play for the past three seasons. But the most they have to show for it in the playoffs is a lone AFC Championship appearance, a 14-point loss to the Chiefs in 2020.
The Bills' Super Bowl window will remain open as long as Josh Allen remains one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. But next season, team building becomes much more difficult and the window begins to shrink.
Depleted Bills produce a dud in playoff loss to Bengals
The reason is because of the salary cap – and specifically, Allen's cap hit.
Allen signed his massive contract extension in August 2021. The deal added six years onto his contract and was worth a quarter of a billion dollars, but was structured in a way that mitigated the salary cap implications in the short term.
That salary cap honeymoon ends in 2023. Allen's cap hit more than doubles next season, rising from about $16.4 million in 2022 to $39.8 million, according to websites Spotrac and Over The Cap. Allen is scheduled to account for more than 17% of the Bills' entire salary cap.
In layman's terms, the Bills were team building on "easy" until Allen's extension kicked in. Next season, the settings change to "difficult."
The Bills have several needs to address this offseason, including offensive line, safety, linebacker and secondary receiving options. Some of the most prolific seasons in franchise history still weren't good enough. The Bills aren't more than the third-best team in the AFC until they prove otherwise. And they're getting short on cap space to make improvements.
Bills QB Josh Allen says elbow injury shouldn't require surgery
The Bills have one of the most top-heavy rosters in the league, with their five most-expensive players — Allen, Stefon Diggs, Von Miller, Tre'Davious White and Dion Dawkins – scheduled to account for nearly 50% of the salary cap next season. That's fine for a team pushing for a Super Bowl, but it makes addressing needs harder to do.
Before the Bills can add from the outside, they'll need to address some of the contacts already on the books. According to Spotrac, the Bills already project to be $5 million over the cap. Familiar faces will likely become cap casualties. General manager Brandon Beane will likely need to restructure some contracts, turning 2023 salaries into bonuses so the cap hit spreads out over a longer period. He could even try to restructure Allen's deal this offseason, though raising his cap hit in future years could prove ill-advised: Allen's cap hit is already scheduled to climb to $41.8 million in 2024 and $51.3 million in 2025. The only saving grace is the salary cap should continue to rise.
The bottom line is the Bills still need to get better, and getting better gets harder starting this offseason. The Bills need elite performance from their stars and they also will need inexpensive production from draft picks – an area with plenty of room for improvement.
The Bills' Super Bowl window is still open, and winning it all will still be the goal for years to come. But the window starts getting smaller in 2023. And as their future salary cap constraints grow, missed opportunities in 2020, 2021 and 2022 will loom larger in hindsight.

and to encourage a study of God's Word.
We promise you a warm and friendly welcome!
please click for a map to our building.
Many people hesitate to visit a church because they do not know what to expect when they go. We hope this brief explanation will cause you to want to visit us soon at the South Knoxville Church of Christ.
Our worship is simple and devout. It is not characterized by displays of emotion and excitement, but is calculated to draw each worshipper closer to God and to provide enduring spiritual strength.
It is our purpose to be governed in everything we do by the Bible alone. For this reason, our worship consists only of those five acts which the New Testament reveals were performed in the worship of the early church. Each Sunday we SING songs of praise to God (Colossians 3:16), speak to our Heavenly Father as we PRAY (Acts 2:42), GIVE of our means to support the work of the church (I Corinthians 16:2), PARTAKE OF THE LORD'S SUPPER in memory of Christ's death on the cross (I Corinthians 11:23-29), and TEACH AND PREACH the Word of God (2 Timothy 2:15).
Our purpose in worship is to maintain the attitude Christ commanded when He said, "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:24).
Our singing, which many visitors find the most interesting and inspiring part of our worship, deserves a special word. Since the New Testament instructs Christians to sing (Ephesians 5:19), we encourage everyone in the assembly to participate in the song service. In the New Testament we find no authority for the use of instruments of music in the worship of the church. Our visitors are often astonished at how beautiful and spiritually stiffing it is when, unhindered by mechanical accompaniment, everyone lifts his voice in praise to God.
We accept no religious authority but the divine authority expressed in the inspired Scriptures. We believe "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
We have no sectarian organization, no denominational name, and no human doctrines and creeds. We are simply Christians, and our purpose is to follow Christ by following His teachings given through the apostles and prophets in the New Testament. Therefore, the preaching you hear will be Bible preaching.
When you visit us, you will be our respected guest. No one will knowingly embarrass you in any way.
At the close of the sermon, those who wish to become Christians are invited to accept the gospel and yield to its call with deep spiritual conviction. (Acts 2:37, 38). However, no one is singled out for public attention, and no one will go about in the audience urging people to go forward.
In addition to worship services on Sunday, Bible classes for all ages are taught by dedicated Christians each Sunday morning and Wednesday evening. Various classes are also conducted regularly for our Golden Agers and Ladies.
In each Bible class, only the Bible and Bible-centered materials will be used. We are convinced that the whole family can be greatly benefited by studying God's Word in our Bible Study Program.
We extend to you our most cordial invitation to meet with us often, and we promise you a friendly welcome. You may come as many times as you wish to learn, to listen, and to participate. We sincerely believe you will be benefited by coming.
Thank you for taking time to read this little pamphlet. We encourage your questions, and would be glad to study the Bible with you in your home. We are here to serve vou. Please call on us at any time.


In our day-to-day living, we commonly see many diabetics land up in chronic complications. We may not always know how high blood sugar affects our health. The longer you have diabetes — and the less controlled your blood sugar — the higher the risk of complications.
Long-term complications of diabetes develop gradually. Eventually, they may be disabling or even life-threatening. Overall, diabetes complications can be studied into 2 majors i.e. Microvascular and Macrovascular. This write-up highlighting the microvascular complications of diabetes.
Damage to small blood vessels is called microangiopathy or microvascular disease. In microvascular disease, persistent hyperglycemia contributes to a thickening of the basement membrane in small blood vessels, which is thought to limit the passage of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues that these blood vessels supply.
This starves the tissues and can result in damage. Other molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis of microvascular disease are under investigation.
Neuropathy, or nerve damage, occurs in about 60% to 70% of patients with diabetes. It is thought that hyperglycemia damages the blood vessels that supply the nerves, decreasing the number of nutrients and oxygen that nerves receive.
Hyperglycemia is also thought to directly damage the nerves themselves. The damage to the nervous system occurs primarily in the nerves that supply the extremities and those that supply abdominal organs.
This damage of nerves can produce a variety of symptoms, including pain, strange/unpleasant sensation, decreased sensation, and more rarely muscle weakness. The legs are usually affected before the hands; distal points (e.g. feet, legs, and hands) are usually affected first and then the abnormal sensation can progress proximally.
Due to the decreased sensation in the feet, patients may not notice a cut or sore, and a serious infection can become established before medical attention is sought. If a patient also has impaired blood flow due to peripheral vascular disease, healing will be further retarded. Such foot injuries and infections may progress to gangrene and amputation of the affected body part may be required.
Neuropathy can also affect nerves that supply the organs of the body. The symptoms depend on the organ system that is involved. For example, if the nerves supplying the gastrointestinal system are involved, patients can have symptoms of diarrhea or constipation. If the nerves supplying the heart are involved, patients may have abnormalities in heart rate or rhythm or may not experience the warning signs (such as pain) of a heart attack.
Bladder dysfunction can occur if the urinary system is involved. In addition, a study that surveyed the presence of erectile dysfunction among patients with diabetes showed that 71% of men with diabetes had erectile dysfunction.
Neuropathy is generally diagnosed on the basis of history and clinical exams. In some cases, physicians may also perform nerve conduction tests. The results of several major clinical trials showed that improved glucose control can help delay the onset and slow the progression of neuropathy and its associated outcomes.
Hyperglycemia and hypertension can contribute to the development of kidney disease. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and retain necessary compounds used by the body, including many proteins.
When the kidneys are damaged, toxic waste products can accumulate in the blood, while other key compounds are lost in the urine. Diabetes is the most common cause of kidney failure. It occurs in 20% to 40% of patients with diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy can be diagnosed based on the measurement of the amount of albumin in the urine, using either several random urine samples or all the urine that has been collected over a specific time (such as 24 hours). The ratio of albumin to creatinine in the urine is usually analyzed.
One of the earliest signs of kidney damage is the leakage of small amounts of protein into the urine, termed as microalbuminuria (30-299 mcg/mg creatinine); albumin is the most common protein in the blood.
As damage to the kidneys becomes greater, the amount of protein that leaks into the urine also becomes greater, until it is termed as macroalbuminuria (>300 mcg/mg creatinine), or commonly called proteinuria. Hypertension also usually develops in concert with kidney damage and hypertension also contributes to the further decline of kidney function.
The rate at which the kidneys are able to filter the blood then brings to decrease.
Finally, the kidneys are unable to filter and purify the blood, which is called end-stage renal disease (ESRD); diabetes is the leading cause of ESRD.
The stages of kidney disease are defined using the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR). It is considered as the best measure of overall kidney function.
Long term hyperglycemia associated with Type 2 Diabetes can damage the tiny blood vessels in the retina of the eye. This condition is called retinopathy and is the leading cause of blindness among adults aged 20 to 74 years.
Since many patients are not diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes many years after diabetes begins, about 25% of patients have retinopathy when they are first diagnosed. Over 60% of patients who have had type 2 diabetes for 20 years develop retinopathy. Retinopathy is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination that includes dilation of the pupils to allow the physician to see to the retina at the back of the eye.
Several clinical trials have shown that effectively controlling blood glucose levels can help delay the onset of retinopathy or reduce its progression. Data also show that controlling blood pressure can also reduce the risk of retinopathy. A procedure called laser therapy can also help slow the progression of retinopathy and visual loss.


Hay Bro Sis...The new KTM MotoGP has already taken a roll, and has done so at the Red Bull Ring in the hands of Alex Hofmann. KTM plans to officially return to the championship in 2017, and next season will work in the development of his bike.
One of the most important developments of the MotoGP season in 2017 will be around KTM championship. The first step has already been taken, since the first prototype KTM RC16 has already given his first laps on the circuit Red Bull Ring in Austria with German Alex Hofmann at the controls.
In view of the images, there is no doubt that the bike rolled in Austria has a genuine identity KTM thanks to various details. Alex Hofmann was responsible for shooting at the Red Bull Ring, and share the development work with Mika Kallio next season. At first glance, this prototype is clearly inspired by the Honda RCV, with its grand entrance to the "airbox" and exhaust outlets on the right side and the tail, much like Honda, which suggests Given the narrowness of the whole, which is a V-4 engine, the same engine configuration developed by KTM in 2005 and equipped the Proton KR.
Surprise your frame, steel trellis, in line always followed by the Austrian brand with Moto3, although his time of 125 and 250, the FFR outfitting twin-spar aluminum frame. Of course, this MotoGP has a generous aluminum swingarm. The brakes are Brembo, but WP suspensions are marks owned by KTM, an option that is unprecedented in MotoGP, which is mostly used and sometimes Öhlins Showa, although there Moto2 teams that equip this brand.
The Austrian prototype will take almost a year and a half to prepare your new machine for the premier class with a V4 engine inside and ideas taken as the Honda RC213V setting and the Ducati Desmosedici. Such latter takes the position of the fuel tank.
KTM and Mika Kallio hired as a test driver for all 2016, with its experience in MotoGP seasons with Ducati Pramac in 2009 and 2010. He also is looking for the private team that will have access to the championship as the new regulation requires. He has already had contacts with the team Cardion AB Karel Abraham in this sense.

50 percent vaccinated
Now that half of U.S. adults have received a COVID shot, APHA urges hope, gratitude and caution
APHA News Releases
Contact: Media Relations
Statement from APHA Executive Director Georges C. Benjamin, MD
"Today, we find ourselves welcoming an achievement that seemed a lifetime away in the world we were living in just a few months ago. With 50% of American adults having now received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine and everyone 16 years of age and older eligible, there is much reason to feel hopeful.
Our gratitude in reaching this point begins with the scientists, researchers and public health practitioners who, of course, made these safe and effective vaccines possible. We must also acknowledge the unwavering dedication of the front-line workers who faithfully carry out its distribution, day in and day out.
We continue to extend our sincere appreciation toward the Biden administration as well, for their aggressive and strategic approach to expediting the widespread delivery of vaccines.
To keep heading in the right direction, however, we must not let our guard down. We are once again seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. We know that people of color are still being left behind in vaccination efforts, along with other vulnerable populations. The majority of Americans are not yet fully inoculated, and we are still a long way from herd immunity. This is especially the case as many people in rural areas now grapple with rampant misinformation resulting in ongoing vaccine hesitancy.
We must continue to work together to ensure everyone is able to be vaccinated.
We're within the home stretch of better times, but I urge all Americans to keep wearing a mask, practice physical distancing, wash your hands, and get vaccinated as soon as possible." "

Meet the QFA leading a social finance movement in Ireland
What's it like to work in the social enterprise sector? We speak with Donal Traynor, QFA and CEO of Community Finance Ireland.
Donal Traynor, QFA, has been connected to the community and voluntary sector since he was a child. His family were actively involved in both sport and local community development. "I'm from a rural part of Cavan and growing up, GAA and community were the same thing," he says. It was a connection that only strengthened over time, eventually leading to a career.
Traynor has worked within the social enterprise space for over 20 years. In November 2020, he became Community Finance Ireland's youngest ever CEO. The organisation is a leader in social finance - lending to charities, not-for-profits, sports groups and community and voluntary organisations. Since it began trading, CFI has lent over €78 million across the island of Ireland.
Community and voluntary organisations can find it difficult to source credit through traditional channels. Traynor explains that lenders can often ask volunteers with not-for-profits to sign personal guarantees for loans, which he believes can discourage the rise and sustainability of volunteering. If finance is required to help establish community projects, the engine that keeps them running is volunteers. "The country would crumble without volunteers," he says.
Donal began working with Community Finance Ireland when the organisation was called Ulster Community Investment Trust (UCIT), operating in Northern Ireland only. In 2008, Traynor helped to set up UCIT Ireland, a subsidiary organisation, which was tasked with establishing a loan portfolio in the Republic of Ireland. Following its success, and with a view to growing operations island-wide, UCIT Ireland rebranded as Community Finance Ireland in 2015.
During his career, the portfolio of organisations that CFI supports has changed a lot. "When I joined the organization in 2004, 97% of our funds were invested in workspace." he says. Investing in workspace was seen as a way to increase employment for local communities. "it's telling today that we're looking at a portfolio operating at €34 million in total and 37% of it is invested in sport. 18% is now in faith-based lending – evangelical churches, Egyptian Coptic churches, Pentecostal and Muslim organisations. We're continuing to push the boundaries at what we can to invest in."
Investing in impact
The nature of lending in the community and voluntary sector is unique. Social impact is a key factor in assessing loan applicants. "If the social impact is not obvious, we don't lend to you. If you look at the UN sustainable development goals – if we cannot find one of those that fits the purpose of the organization applying for a loan, then it's out," Traynor explains.
Support and relationship building is also a critical aspect of CFI's work. When borrowers have challenging times that impact loan repayment, CFI needs to step up as a trusted partner. Donal explains, "not everything you lend out over 10-15 years will be a bed of roses. Problems arise and that's when we have to step up to the plate with our relationship building skills. We're not just sending an email or a solicitor's letter saying 'you owe us money, we're coming for it'".
Working with a not-for-profit can bring its own challenges, but also its own rewards. Donal sees the impact of his work not just through the individuals he supports, but with communities across the island. "You can drive around the country now and look at various pieces of infrastructure, or organisations that you've helped to solve problems for. You don't need to shout it from the rooftops, but you sleep easy knowing the work that you're doing is having a lasting legacy."
Time to lead
Donal became a Qualified Financial Advisor in 2016. He cites the QFA programme as helping him to progress from an Associate Director position into the role of Chief Executive.
"The learning I got out of it was very, very important," he says. "If you can't do lending properly and you have a volatile portfolio, there's not much point in stretching to become the first non-banking Chief Executive of the organization. The professional diploma was very important in the process."
While Traynor did have ambitions to take on an executive leadership role in his career, the timing was a surprise. "I was quite prepared to give it another 10 years before I took on the role of CEO within the organisation. If I ever intended to be CEO of any organisation though, it was going to be this one."
Traynor sees great potential for CFI going forward. A current priority for the organisation is increasing awareness of the availability of social finance and its benefits. In the wake of the pandemic, CFI recently announced a €10 million all island recovery loan fund.
Social enterprise is booming in Ireland and Traynor believes that we haven't even scratched the surface of what is possible.
In 2019, CFI held a series of events called Catalyst in Dublin, seeking to meet with people interested in starting social enterprises. Over 400 people attended the events, sharing their eclectic visions to recycle bikes, regenerate communities, conserve water – the visions were varied and the passion was tangible. "What opened our eyes, these people were young."
Up to recently, charities and community groups were associated with older demographics – people looking to give back later in life and donate their time to the local community. But now, CFI is seeing many people in their 20s interested in starting social enterprises.
"Be it the awareness of climate change, the lack of housing and problems with homelessness in this country or issues with health and education internationally– the focus of the youth of today is looking beyond getting paid every week. They want to do something fulfilling and rewarding."
It's an exciting prospect for Donal, and for Ireland, as it seems the rise in social enterprise is only just beginning.
