NAMM 2013: Midi Fighter Spectra Launched
Midi Fighter Spectra namm NAMM 2013
Last updated 14 November, 2017
Replacing the single-colour arcade buttons with multi-colour, and adding extra function buttons on the side, the Midi Fighter Spectra updates the original Midi Fighter Classic's spec.
Replacing the Midi Fighter Classic, DJ TechTools has today announced the Midi Fighter Spectra ahead of the NAMM Show 2013, which adds extra functions buttons and full-colour LED ring lighting to the original Midi Fighter design.
While not deviating too far from the 16-Japanese-arcade-buttons-in-a-box idea, the new LEDs in this design make it more suitable for controlling Traktor's Remix Decks (it's still the only third-party controller that can), and overall the unit offers a reasonably affordable "in" into the Midi Fighter ecosystem for budding button-pushing controllerists. The colours and animations of the lighting can be controlled either directly by Midi or using the supplied utility software, and the six discrete function buttons on the side of the unit can be used to switch layers, adjust presets and so on.
As ever, the company makes a big deal out of the customisation options, with you being able to select button colours, top plate and body colours when ordering.
You get to choose the colours of various parts when you order, and your unit is them assembled for you to your spec.
While programming a separate box of buttons to trigger samples, cues, loops and effects might not be everyone's idea of something essential, if it's yours, the Midi Fighter ecosystem has got you covered. We love the fact that there is an intrinsic understanding here that just because something is electronic, it isn't any less an instrument; these units are beautiful, durable and built to perform on, and it's no surprise that users tend to speak in terms of love, not like.
DJ TechTools supports its products with a thriving ecosystem, including mappings and samples available for free from the manufacturer's website, which is a definite plus-point if you want a product where you can connect with and contribute to the user community.
Also as we mentioned earlier, the Midi Fighters are the only third-party devices to offer control at all over Traktor's Remix Decks at the time of writing, so if for whatever reason you're looking for an alternative to the Traktor Kontrol F1, a Midi Fighter is currently your only choice.
Editing the firmware using the supplied utility.
Do say: This is where live EDM performance is heading!
Don't say: It's just a box of buttons, isn't it?
The Midi Fighter Spectra is demoed here, and is available now from DJ TechTools for US$175.99.
Can you see yourself adding a Midi Fighter of something similar to your DJing? Or are the buttons provided by manufacturers on controllers like the Kontrol S2/S4/F1 and VCI-400 good enough for this stuff? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Foreign Ministry launches speakers bureau
Public diplomacy effort focuses on 50-80% of world who are indifferent to Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

A statistic that is abhorrent to most Israelis, but true according to Israel diplomacy specialists: 50 to 80 percent of the world doesn't care about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As hard as it is to imagine for people living here, at least half of the world is indifferent to the political situation.
Public diplomacy, or hasbara, has traditionally featured a black and white picture of the rest of the world: either you love us or you hate us. Much of the effort has been directed towards trying to convince the haters to change their ways, or trying to convince the lovers that everyone else hates us.
But the new hasbara, or pro- Israel diplomacy speakers bureau launched by the Foreign Ministry and the Israel advocacy nonprofit organization Kinetis on Thursday in Jerusalem focuses on a third market, which encompasses the majority of the world: the ones who just don't care. "The third market is indifferent to the political situation," said Joanna Landau, the founder and executive director of Kinetis. Landau estimates that 50-80% of the world falls in to this "indifferent" category.
"We're targeting them, we're not trying to convince the convinced," she said.
"We were really only having one conversation: the geopolitical conversation," said Zavi Apfelbaum, the senior director of the Foreign Ministry's brand management section, which deals with public diplomacy.
"We realized in order to have people know who we are and relate to us is for them to know who are Israelis and open a door to connect with people," said Apfelbaum.
The result was a seven-yearlong, country-wide soul searching exercise as the ministry tried to get the entire country to agree: Who are we, and what do we want the rest of the world to know about us? The speakers bureau launched on Thursday, called ConnectIL, includes 200 inspirational Israelis who are experts in fields from across the spectrum, from celebrity chefs to wine sommeliers, to paralympic champions and film directors.
"This is a mosaic of narratives of who we are," said Apfelbaum.
The seven-year soul search boiled down to one concept: creative energy.
The Foreign Ministry and Kinetis reasoned that foodies aren't tuned into the conflict, but they probably would be interested in the most perfect shakshuka recipe in the country (according to Lonely Planet, the shakshuka at Jerusalem's Tmol Shilshom café is one of the top ten breakfasts in the world). Choreographers may not be concerned with the route of the security barrier, but they would love to hear more from Tel Aviv's innovative Bat Sheva dance philosophy.
Thus the comprehensive database of speakers for ConnectIL was born. The database is only open to organizations, who bring large groups, both Jews and non-Jews, to Israel.
Moran Samuels, a 30-year-old paralympic rowing athlete, is one of the speakers. "I'm a proud Israeli, proud to live here, and proud to represent it as an athlete," she said. Her talk, however, focuses on her optimism and determination to continue playing basketball in the face of a spine stroke, which paralyzed her from chest down one Thursday morning at age 24. Her talk doesn't really mention Israel advocacy or pro- Israel diplomacy. "I'm not coming and lifting a flag. I was born and raised in Israel, and it's enough that you're going to know me," she said. "It's not about changing opinions by saying this or that. I'm trying to say, come to Israel and hear what I have to say."

Q: Domination relationship between generalized Dyck Paths In short, we are seeking an injection between generalized Dyck paths that end at a certain height into the set of paths of the same length that end at a lower height such that the image path stays below the original path.
Let $\Gamma_{k,n}$ be the set of all length $n$ random walk paths (consisting of steps $(i,j) \to (i+1,j+1)$ and $(i,j) \to (i+1,j-1)$) started at $(0,0)$, ending at $(n,k)$, that never have negative $y$ coordinate. For example, $\Gamma_{0,2n}$ consists of the Dyck paths of length $2n$.
It is our intuition that for any $k$ and $n$ it holds that $|\Gamma_{k+2,n}| \leq |\Gamma_{k,n}|$. Moreover, since the ending point is lower, there ought to be an injection $i\colon \Gamma_{k+2,n} \to \Gamma_{k,n}$ such that the image $i(\gamma)$ is always "below" the starting path $\gamma \in \Gamma_{k+2,n}$. Formally, each $y$-coordinate of  $i(\gamma)$ is less than or equal to the $y$-coordinate of $\gamma$ with the same $x$-coordinate.
Here is a picture of what we mean by the image path being below the original. The dashed line is the part of the image that disagrees with the original path.

A: $\Gamma_{2,4} $ has size 3 but $\Gamma_{0,4}$ has size 2. More generally, most paths that stay nonnegative for $n$ steps end at height of order square root of $n$.   Are you really looking for a coupling rather than an injection?

Obama's Slippery Slope to Military Strikes on Iran
By Flynt Leverett, Hillary Mann Leverett (Posted Apr 26, 2010)
StrikesIran, Iraq, Israel, United StatesCommentary
Today, POLITICO published our newest Op-Ed, "Obama's Slippery Slope to Strikes on Iran" (excerpts below but also worth reading in full on POLITICO.com).
Our piece was prompted by the partial leak of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates' January 2010 memo on Iran to the New York Times last week and subsequent statements by Gates and one of his key deputies, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Michèle Fluornoy. As we note in our Op Ed, these developments reveal two crucial points:
First, the Obama administration is deeply divided about its Iran policy, beyond the current effort to get new sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council. Second — and more important — there is a serious risk that President Barack Obama may eventually be maneuvered into ordering military strikes against Iranian nuclear targets.
Gates' memo — which has been widely discussed since its partial leak to the New York Times but not especially well understood by the punditocracy — is consistent with the Defense Secretary's views on Iran, going back to his service in the last two years of the George W. Bush administration. Gates is deeply skeptical that attacking Iranian nuclear targets will accomplish anything of strategic significance, and believes the potential downsides — including retaliation against U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq — could be severely damaging to America's regional position.
As we write in POLITICO,
Gates also seems to believe that the United States can 'contain' an Iran that has mastered uranium enrichment but stops short of actually building a nuclear weapon. Even if Iran detonates a device, in Gates's view it should still be eminently containable.
In sum, both Gates and America's senior uniformed military leadership believe that the United States does not need to go to war over Iran's nuclear program.
But senior officers privately express concern that the Pentagon's preference for containment over military confrontation with Iran is not getting the traction it should in the Obama Administration's policymaking process.
In this context, Gates' January 2010 memo was intended "to leapfrog the interagency process and 'tee up' for presidential decision a number of specific items required for serious pursuit of a containment strategy."
But the Pentagon's strong preference for containment is opposed by powerful figures at the White House — "including Deputy National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and Dennis Ross, senior director for the central region (including Iran)." The "senior officials" who leaked Gates' memo
were clearly seeking to use their selective description to catalyze more robust planning for potential military strikes against Iranian nuclear targets — the very option that Gates has consistently opposed.
This explains Gates' public claim that his memo had been "mischaracterized" by the leaker. It also explains Fluornoy's later statement that an attack against Iran is "off the table in the near term." (Though, after White House intervention, Gates' spokesman walked back Flournoy's comment.)
For some at the White House, "containment is problematic because it would be interpreted in Israel and pro-Israeli circles here as giving up on preventing Iran from becoming a nuclear threshold state." But, we go on to note that
Others in this camp may actually believe that Washington should be preparing for military action against Iran.
As [Dennis] Ross told us before he returned to government service in the Obama administration, President George W. Bush's successor would probably need to order military strikes against Iranian nuclear targets.
Pursuing diplomatic initiatives early in Obama's tenure, Ross said, would be necessary to justify potential military action to domestic and international constituencies.
That is precisely what the administration has done — first, by pursuing halfhearted diplomatic initiatives toward Tehran, then, when Iran did not embrace them, blaming Iran for the impasse.
Adopting containment as the administration's posture toward Iran might undermine some White House officials' efforts to prepare the political ground for an eventual presidential decision approving military strikes.
We conclude with this argument:
Obama's overly hedged approach to diplomacy with Tehran has succeeded only in giving engagement a bad name.
Now, he has surrendered the high ground of U.S.-Iranian rapprochement that he courageously staked out during the 2008 presidential campaign, leaving militarized containment as his administration's "moderate" (even "dovish") alternative to more coercive options.
Gates is correct that a U.S.-Iranian military confrontation would be severely damaging to Washington's strategic position. But containment is an inherently unstable and dangerous posture — perhaps likely to end up sparking a U.S.-Iranian war.
Meanwhile, failing to pursue serious, strategically-grounded engagement with Tehran could continue to leave the administration's Middle East policies in free fall — accelerating the erosion of U.S. influence in this critical region.
There must be a better way to do foreign policy than this.

We are presented with a challenge in trying to maintain acceptable hair standards in Winter: the combined effect of wind, snow and rain, paired with inevitable hat hair, can make a bad hair day turn into a bad hair season. But the wintery conditions outside needn't mean neglecting your locks altogether - here's a quick guide on how to embrace the elements by adopting a 'windswept' look.
Start off by washing your hair with a Moisturising Shampoo and towel drying vigorously to remove excess water.
While your hair is still damp, spritz generously with a sea salt spray to achieve a gritty texture and light hold. For a messier, tousled look, avoid using a comb, and allow hair to dry naturally in order to retain texture and volume - to style, scrunch with your hands having applied a small amount of our Styling Paste for hold.
For a smoother, swept back finish, blow dry on a high heat from the front of the head, using a brush (or your fingers) to create shape and height. If you're based in the UK, this is a tactic you'll have to frequently employee: due to the changeable weather, it's important to take care of your hair every season.

CNFA Elects Espy as Chair
Former Agriculture Secretary to Assume Helm of CNFA Board
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA), an international agricultural development organization, announced that A. Michael (Mike) Espy, former secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has been appointed to chair the CNFA Board of Directors. Espy was voted into the position with the unanimous support of board members following CNFA's fall board meeting in Des Moines, Iowa, during the World Food Prize Foundation's 2022 Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue.
Effective January 1, 2023, Espy succeeds Elin Miller who will continue to serve as a member of the CNFA Board. Miller served as the chair of the board from 2017 to 2022.
Prior to serving as agriculture secretary during the Clinton administration, Espy served seven years as U.S. representative for the 2nd District of Mississippi. On both occasions, he was the first African American to hold the position. Currently, he works as a private sector attorney, counselor and agricultural advisor, running his own law firm, Mike Espy, PLLC. He has been a member of the CNFA Board since 2008 and will be the first African American to serve as chair.
"I am grateful for having had the privilege of contributing to the growth and advancement of CNFA's critical work to ensure the nutritional and economic well-being of underserved rural populations around the world," said Miller. "I also am pleased to pass the helm to such a capable successor. Mike's extensive experience as a top agricultural executive in both the public and private sectors brings CNFA a leader who is exceptionally well equipped to bring those two entities together to accomplish the goals of our organization."
Elected to Congress in 1986, Espy served as a member of the Budget and Agriculture Committees, and as a member of the Domestic Task Force of the Select Committee on Hunger. Prior to that, he worked as a trial lawyer and served as assistant attorney general and director of the Mississippi Office of Consumer Protection. He served in a number of other positions in Mississippi, including as assistant secretary of state, and director of the Office of Public Lands. He has also worked with various international non-profit organizations in Africa, including serving for six years as a senior advisor and legal counsel for an international food charity that grew to be the ninth-largest food charity in the world during his time there, feeding millions every day.
"Mike has consistently made valuable contributions to our mission during his years as a CNFA board member," said CNFA President and CEO Sylvain Roy. "He combines solid government and agricultural expertise with a practical, on-the-ground style that melds perfectly with CNFA's approach to international development. We look forward to making even greater use of his skills as we continue to work with private- and public-sector partners to help meet the world's growing demand for food. CNFA also wishes to thank Elin Miller for her work to improve the governance of our organization and advance our strategic objectives over the past several years."
"I am honored that the CNFA Board has entrusted me to chair this extraordinary organization," Espy said. "I look forward to working closely with them to ensure the continued success of our current initiatives around the world—and of those yet to come."
CNFA was founded in 1985 as the Citizens Network for Foreign Affairs with the aim of building a broader public understanding of U.S. international relationships and its increasing importance, particularly with regard to developing countries. In the 1990s, CNFA found success linking agribusinesses to agricultural inputs, through programs funded by USAID and USDA. The USAID Farm Store Program (1999-2002), implemented by CNFA in Moldova, was especially successful and launched Farm Service Centers, which continue to connect agribusinesses with quality inputs and services in over 200 locations across seven different countries. CNFA changed its name in 2007 to be more representative of its focus on international agricultural development. Today, the organization partners with communities around the world to facilitate market access, enhance agribusiness competitiveness, increase productivity and improve access to inputs and financing. With the number of people globally almost doubling since CNFA's inception, these initiatives are necessary to feed a population that continues to grow.
"With the global population surpassing 8 billion people, now more than ever it is critical that the most vulnerable groups have access to the resources they need to sustain a healthy livelihood," said Espy. "As chair, I will make sure that CNFA continues to go above and beyond to work with local and global partners to meet the world's growing demand for food."
A native of Yazoo City, Mississippi, Espy graduated from Howard University and holds a law degree from the Santa Clara University School of Law.
About CNFA: Cultivating New Frontiers in Agriculture (CNFA) is an international agricultural development organization that specializes in the design and implementation of sustainable, enterprise-based agricultural initiatives. CNFA works with businesses, foundations, governments, and communities to build customized local and global partnerships that meet the world's growing demand for food. Since its inception in 1985, CNFA has designed and implemented enterprise-based, agricultural development initiatives to facilitate market access, enhance agribusiness competitiveness, increase productivity and improve access to inputs and financing in 47 countries.


The earliest occurrence of the word "prison" in the King James Version is found in the narrative of Joseph's life in Egypt (the Jahwist). The term used, namely, cohar, means perhaps "round house" or "tower." It seems probable that among the Hebrews there were no special buildings erected as "jails" in the premonarchical period, and perhaps not before the post-exilic period, when the adoption of the civic institutions and customs of surrounding nations prevailed. In Egypt and Assyria, on the contrary, there were probably public buildings corresponding to our modern jails. Among the Hebrews, rooms in connection with the royal palace or the residence of prominent court officials would be used for the purpose.
According to one narrative (Jahwist) in Genesis the prison in which Joseph was confined had a "keeper," while according to another narrative (the Elohist) the offending members of the royal household, namely, the royal butler and the royal baker, were placed "in ward" with the "captain of the guard" in charge, i.e. in some part of the royal palace. This is still more probable if, instead of "captain of the guard," we should translate "chief of the cooks" i.e. superintendent of the royal kitchen.
It was often necessary to restrict the liberty of individuals who for various causes were a menace to those in authority, without inflicting any corporal punishment, e.g. Joseph's brethren were kept "in ward" three days (Genesis 42:19); Shimei was forbidden to pass beyond the boundary of Jerusalem (1 Kings 2:36); the person who was caught gathering sticks on the Sabbath was put "in ward" pending his trial (Numbers 15:34). In the monarchical period, prophets who criticized the throne were put in prison, e.g. Micaiah by Ahab (1 Kings 22:27), Hanani by Asa (2 Chronicles 16:10). Hoshea, after his abortive effort to institute an alliance with So or Seve, king of Egypt, was shut up in prison by Shalmaneser (2 Kings 17:4); compare also 2 Kings 25:27 (Jehoiachin in Babylon); Jeremiah 52:11 (Zedekiah in Babylon).
The Book of Jeremiah throws considerable light on the prison system of Jerusalem in the later monarchical period. The prophet was put "in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Yahweh" (20:2). Mere imprisonment was not adequate punishment for the prophet's announcement of Judah's doom; it was necessary to have recourse to the pillory. During the siege of Jerusalem Jeremiah was confined in the "court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah's house" (32:2, etc.). The "court of the guard" was evidently the quarters of the sentry who guarded the royal palace. According to the narrative of Jeremiah 37, the prophet was arrested on a charge of treachery and put in prison "in the house of Jonathan the scribe" (37:15). This verse does not necessarily mean that a private house was used as a prison. The words are capable of another interpretation, namely, that a building known as the "house of Jonathan the scribe" had been taken over by the authorities and converted into a jail. We read in the following verse that the house had a "dungeon" (literally, "house of the pit") and "cabins" or "cells."
The data are not sufficient to enable us to give any detailed description of the treatment of prisoners. This treatment varied according to the character of the offense which led to incarceration. Samson during the period of his imprisonment was compelled to do hard labor (Judges 16:21). Grinding was the occupation of women, and marked the depth of Samson's humiliation. Dangerous persons were subjected to various kinds of physical mutilation, e.g. Samson was deprived of his sight. This was a common practice in Assyria (2 Kings 25:7). The thumbs and great toes of Adonibezek were cut off to render him incapable of further resistance (Judges 1:6).
Various forms of torture were in vogue. Hanani the seer was put into the pillory by Asa (for "in a prison house" we should render "in the stocks"; see the Revised Version margin). In Jeremiah 29:26 for "prison," we should render "stocks" (so the Revised Version (British and American)) or "pillory," and for "stocks," "collar" (as in the Revised Version margin). the King James Version renders a different Hebrew word by "stocks" in Job (13:27; 33:11). There was a special prison diet (1 Kings 22:27), as well as a prison garb (2 Kings 25:29).
There are other Hebrew words rendered "prison" (sometimes incorrectly) in the King James Version. In Psalms 142:7, the word which is translated "prison" means a "place of execution," and is derived from a root which denotes, for instance, the isolation of the leper (Leviticus 13:5; compare \ 24:22; 42:7\). In Isaiah 53:8 "oppression" not "prison" is the correct translation while in Isaiah 61:1 the Hebrew denotes "opening of the eyes," rather than "opening of the prison." Prisoners are promised "light after darkness, gleam after gloom."
In the New Testament "prison" generally occurs for the Greek word phulake, which corresponds to the Hebrew word mishmar, referred to above (Matthew 5:25; Mark 6:17; Luke 3:20; Acts 5:19; 1 Peter 3:19). In Revelation 18:2, the King James Version renders this word by two different words, namely, "hold" and "cage"; the Revised Version (British and American) employs "hold" in each case (the Revised Version margin "prison"). In one passage "ward" is the rendering in the King James Version (Acts 12:10). In connection with the imprisonment of John the term used is desmoterion, "place of bonds" or "fetters" (Matthew 11:2); the same word is used in the case of Peter and John (Acts 5:21,23), and of Paul and Silas (Acts 16:26). But the more common term is also found in these narratives. In Acts 12:17 "prison" renders a Greek word which means "dwelling." In Acts 5:18 the King James Version, "prison" is the rendering for another Greek word, namely, teresis, "watching" or "ward" (the Revised Version (British and American) "ward"). In Acts 4:3, the King James Version employs "hold" as the rendering for the same word. This would correspond to the modern "police station" or "lockup."

I should know by now that the universe gets drunk. This is a thing that happens. What I didn't quite understand is how often the universe would hit the bottle, like, at 11am on a Monday.
Which is not a thing that normal people say.
I then proceeded to demand that he address me as "James Beard Award Nominated" and then my name, or whatever pet name he wished to bestow upon me. Being a long-suffering and obliging fool, he did precisely that, further destroying whatever humility I may have had. I told Rand that while I realize that this nomination is already a remarkable thing, I very much want to win for one very specific reason: I'm pretty sure the award is a round medal on a ribbon. Which means you can wear it to a fast food restaurant. While still in your pajamas. And when people ask what it is, you say that it is a James Beard Award for culinary excellence which you got because you were really mad at institutionalized sexism and also Mario Batali's cinnamon rolls.
While I do not think that I will win (because I am hoping that someone will take the universe aside and say, "We need to talk about your drinking"), the nomination is an absurd honor unto itself, and I am abusing it to the fullest extent that I possibly can. Mostly by screaming it at my friends and loved ones when I want to win an argument. It is particularly useful when a friend is feeling down and needs a pick-up.
I now feel uniquely qualified to weigh in on all culinary matters, both appetizing and nightmarish. So when Chuck Wendig (who is basically a real-life version of Wash from Firefly) tweeted that he wanted to try the gastronomical abomination that is Heinz's creme egg flavored mayonnaise, I felt the need to comment.
I have a layover in Heathrow in about 2 hours. Ew. I'll see what I can do.
I think it's only available at that pop-up!
I thought that was just the free samples.
At any rate, Chuck, you may have to make your own.
Chuck, listen to me: I have a James Beard Award nomination and I am telling you that you have the capability to make this … substance.
At which point Lin-Manuel Miranda weighed in because Twitter.
Anyway, I'm off to Heathrow and probably going to get myself banned from Duty Free for you, Chuck. You're welcome.
The bad news, of course, was that Chuck was right, and that they don't actually sell this stuff in stores, because I think that EU regulations prevent you from selling the culinary equivalent of a slumber party dare and that's why we now have Brexit. Thanks a lot, Angela Merkel. I did find a lot of Cadbury chocolate, and I did ask one Duty-Free employee about the mayonnaise and he was so incredibly helpful while he slowly backed away from me like I was a raccoon holding a flamethrower.
I asked if they had mayonnaise.
Guy gives me a look reserved for a child who has just cut their own hair.
He told me to go ask at a restaurant.
I briefly considered mentioning the James Beard Award nomination, but I felt like that would have pushed the story just too far into the realm of absurdity. I sadly left Heathrow without any success. In the meantime, I'm wondering if I can make this abomination at home. I mean, I have the technology. And a James Beard Award nomination.

Q: spring-integration-aws SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter control bus I have the following bean:
@Bean
public MessageProducer sqsMessageAdapter() {
  SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter adapter = new SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter(this.amazonSqs, awsConfiguration.myQueue.get());
  adapter.setAutoStartup(true);
  adapter.setMaxNumberOfMessages(1);
  adapter.setSendTimeout(2000);
  adapter.setVisibilityTimeout(200);
  adapter.setWaitTimeOut(20);
  adapter.setOutputChannel(this.myOutput);
  return adapter;
}

MORE INFO:
I am trying to find a way of stopping/starting the polling on command, i'm doing this using annotations without xml.
Currently I am using the SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter and calling the stop method, followed by the start when I want to restart the channel adapter. The problem I am having is that a timeout exception gets thrown in the stop method regardless of timeout settings. This happens on the future.get() call (line 197 of SimpleMessageListenerContainer) I think this is causing start not to work. Start does not throw any exceptions but the poller does not pick up any new messages
UPDATE:
The start and stop commands seem to be working correctly. The problem seems to be that I cannot set the property:
public void setQueueStopTimeout(long queueStopTimeout) {
    this.queueStopTimeout = queueStopTimeout;
}

This lives with SimpleMessageListenerContainer.java from SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter.java without this I am getting timeouts as the default is not long enough.

A: Your question isn't clear. Please, consider be more specific in the future.
Anyway let me guess, that you mean start()/stop() operations of that SqsMessageDrivenChannelAdapter. Not sure that what is the problem to inject it in the desired place and call those methods.
@Autowired
@Qualifier("sqsMessageAdapter")

Prep the bok choy by removing the root end and cutting off the green leaves. Reserve the leaves. Slice the white stalks crosswise about 1/4 inch.
Pre heat your oven to 425F. In a 4 quart oven proof pot or Dutch oven, sauté the anchovies in the oil until they practically disintegrate. Add the shallot and garlic and continue to sauté until fragrant. Add the sliced bok choy stalks and sauté about 5 minutes more.
Stir in the rice until it's nicely coated and then add the wine, salt and pepper. Bring up to a simmer and cook until the wine is absorbed into the rice. Add 2 1/2 cups of the chicken broth, bring back up to a boil and then cover and place in the pre heated oven. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until the liquid is just about absorbed in to the rice.
While the risotto is baking chop the green leaves of the bok choy finely, making sure to remove all of the white stalk that sometimes runs through the leaves.
Thank you Lisa! You're too kind!
Thanks Abbie! We liked it a lot!

AGGRESSORS : ANCIENT ROME REVIEW
FGM Site Admin August 21, 2018 3 Comments
Aggressors: Ancient Rome from Matrix Games
FGM review by Badger73
It is 280 BC. Alexandros ho Megas, the great conqueror, relinquished a most heroic mortal life almost five decades ago. The Diadochi, his successors, lie dead as well. Their sons now reign throughout the East. Antiochus I Soter leads the Seleucid Empire. Ptolemy II Philadelphus rules Egypt where the material and literary splendor of the Alexandrian court are at its height. His brother, Ptolemy Keranaunos is king of Macedon. In Greece, the 125th Olympiad sees ancient city states form new leagues. King Pyrrhus of Epirus wages war in Latium against the Consuls Laevinus and Coruncanius who jointly command Rome 474 years after the city's founding. In Tunis, the long established metropolis of Carthage grows greater and dominates Mediterranean trade. The known world is at a turning point. Any nation might rise supreme and make history its own.
On 30-August-2018, Matrix games releases "Aggressors: Ancient Rome", a 4x ("eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate") computer game of strategy and high level tactics, developed by Kubat Software. The game design and concept are largely influenced by Civilization IV, Colonization, Panzer General and Centurion. As one of the few people in the world outside a Trappist Monastery who never played Civ IV, my best frame of reference for evaluating this game is primarily "Rome Total War", specifically its "Europa Barbarorum" modification. (Vanilla Rome Total War came with 3 playable Roman Factions, 8 playable non-Roman factions, and 10 non-playable factions. Europa Barbarorum provided 20 playable factions.)
"Aggressors: Ancient Rome" (hereafter referenced as A:AR) focuses on the peoples and lands of Third Century BCE surrounding the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. The campaign map extends from the Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) in the west to the Sea of Galilee (Judea) in the East, from the Alps in the north to the Sahara in the south. It includes twenty (20) civilizations, ranging from Roman, Ptolemaic, Carthaginian or Seleucid empires, through smaller city-states and kingdoms in Greece and Asia Minor, to a number of nomadic barbarian tribes in Thrace, the Alps and the Iberian Peninsula. The nation which builds the most viable empire wins the game.
In this tile based 4X strategy game, empire building involves not only territorial expansion but also technological, cultural, military, and economic development. Each turn equals one year. The player's goal is to develop a system of government that has the most dominant impact on the effectiveness of economy, happiness of people and army morale. Players focus on resource management. Every action requires resources for its execution.
The wealth of the state is not micro-managed in settlements. It is distributed throughout the entire naton. Every tile counts. Cities are prominent, but as the state management is not city-centered (unlike Civ IV as I understand it), players need to pay attention to their entire country. When connected and managed well, everything works together to make a solid foundation for a strong empire. Neglecting isolated areas not only drains the wealth of the state; neglected places become areas of enemy exploitable weakness.
A:AR emphasizes managing populations, the human shoulders which lift the empire to success or failure. Populace is distributed in cities, a state's main recruitment areas, where people are the source for workforces and military units. Population growth can be increased by building new cities, supporting immigration, and by stimulating higher birth rate (natality) through state and local grants. A:AR also accounts for people's happiness, their level of civil satisfaction showing the overall mood of the population. General and local happiness affect army morale, emigration rate, and sufficient unhappiness can trigger revolts or civil wars.
The player will mostly spend every turn actively or passively managing land, agriculture, minerals, knowledge, technology, wealth, culture, trade, population, and influence. At the same time, players formulate diplomacy and war.
Unlike Rome Total War, all A:AR all battles are abstracted and resolved by the AI. There are no low-level tactical battles to play. The computer resolves combat automatically utilizing a host of positive and negative factors which you as the player provide and control before battle is met. A:AR battles are won by pre-battle planning factors such as the terrain, army training, motivation, organization, supplies, and so forth. There are no Character elements in A:AR. The game places you in the role of Conscript Fathers, Council of Elders, or Royal Court where you provided for attack and defense strength of the units, their army morale, general morale, loyalty, terrain bonuses or penalties, experience or special skills acquired through improvements, sufficient supplies, battle readiness, and such before sending your legions forth on campaign. Then you trust and hope your generals prevail. You are the supreme commander; you oversee the welfare of the state. The low-level "man-to-man" fight is left to your army generals. Every battle requires you to consider all these strategic factors before launching combat. Overlooking or underestimating strategic matters will lose battles and cause the downfall of your empire.
This game is PC only. I played it via Steam on a two-year-old MSI GT72S Dominator Pro G-220 Gaming Laptop.
Processor = Intel Core i7-6820HK CPU @ 2.70 GHz
Installed RAM = 32 GB
System Type = 64-bit o/s, x64 based processor
Video card = nVidia GeForce GTX 980M
Operating system = Windows 10 home edition
I took my time warming up to this game. I like to have some idea of what to do before I do it. The game comes with a solid and thorough PDF manual which I skimmed entirely to understand the game better before getting started. There is also an in-game "Aggressors Library" which is a reference that is always available during game play. It is very good and thorough. Then I read the Matrix / Kubat Software development diaries at URL = http://www.slitherine.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=519.
I also watched several helpful YouTube videos. All of these materials gave me a good sense of what to expect.

Three (3) A:AR nations come with both a Basic and Advanced in-game tutorial; Rome, Carthage, Ptolemeic Egypt. I started with the Roman Republic for the basic tutorial. It is a scripted tutorial taking 30-45 minutes which directed a specific action and would not proceed until that action was accomplished. It covers basic game mechanics very nicely. Upon completing the Basic tutorial, I felt comfortably prepared to play a game at BEGINNER level. I loaded a new game and picked Rome to play.
Rome in 279 BC is at war with Epirus. Initial objectives are to conquer all of Italy, seize Sicily, fortify the Eternal City, and gain primacy of place in the Mediterranean. Thus I played 10 hours to achieve some of my goals and be thwarted from others.
The important civil units are Builders and Nomads. Builders go where you direct to construct roads, cultivate land, erect bridges, and establish settlements. Nomads go where you direct to explore the frontiers and establish settlements. Builders cost more resources to create but do more in the game. Military units fight where you direct and can establish settlements. Units disappear into the settlements they create. Unlike their historical counterparts, Roman Legions do not build roads in this game; a small quibble easily overlooked when immersed in play. At the BEGINNER level, morale is not in effect. I was happy not to worry about rebellious conquests or mutinous soldiers as I learned how to build, research, trade, and understand diplomacy.
After 50 turns, I had achieved two goals and lost more fleets and legions than I want to remember. I still had not correctly researched building warships and galleys. Rome needs a good navy and I was behind my enemies developing one.
But I had learned how tile movement works, both land and sea. I had established several cities and improved their Civil Service, Defense, and Trade. I had built a Temple and Blacksmith; the first to improve Happiness, the second to improve mining resources. I was learning rudimentary diplomacy and establishing simple trade affected by variable distances robbery. My population was productively stable and my people were happy. On the down side, campaigns against Carthage were disastrous!
I quit my Beginner game and returned to the Advanced Tutorial as Ptolemeic Egypt. It is not scripted like the Beginner tutorial. It explains additional game functions in a more free form manner. It covers broader game mechanics very nicely and helped me understand what I was now ready to learn after completing the Basic tutorial and spending some time in a simple game. I feel even better prepared to play a game at a higher level where Morale and Influence matter and I can more intelligently research technologies.
Assessment.
The game plays smoothly. The AI logic is sensible and clean. I was pleased that no outcome was bogus and that the game never faltered nor stuttered. Each nation is unique. How they interrelate is intriguing. The Dev team claims ten years of development and testing is invested in this product. I believe them and encountered nothing to make me doubt that game code is sound and robust. A:AR is a solid effort. It fully delivers on the promises made and does good justice to the history it represents. It captures the elements which make this era appealing to me and particular to this ancient period: locales, strategic considerations, differing combat units, intelligence and logistics considerations, supply preparations, strengths and weaknesses of particular units as well as of the government and organization for each nation state. With all this available, players can readily explore a wide range of insight and hindsight in an pleasantly immersive fashion. Whether you approach this 4X game as unseasoned tyro or hard-bitten veteran, it nicely captures its intended ebb and flow in a very satisfying form.
Through a glass darkly.
Pavel Kubát, the creative force behind Aggressors, says this about his game,
"Modding was embedded in the Aggressors core from the beginning and to prove the stability and flexibility of the framework. . . . The player can change just about anything he/she wants. The game has been designed to support modding and it's done in an easy way. You can change assets like maps, terrain, civilizations in the scenario, but you can even change the rules like types of units, improvements, governments. The built-in editor allows you to change the look of the map by adding or removing tiles and changing terrain, adding or removing map items, and designing a unique web of diplomatic relations in order to give you a maximum freedom in creating your own world. There is a fully-featured, in-built editor for the players who only want to change bits and pieces in the scenario. . . Some of our beta testers already created their own worlds and have shared them with others to test them."
I find this promise fascinating and am excited to see what comes out of this game's Steam Workshop and Community Hubs. My experiences are that good mods elevate the joys of play by whole orders of magnitude. Such things as the modder skins and sounds in Combat Mission, the WW2 mods of Arma3, the Europa Barbarorum mod for Rome Total War make good games great and great games exceptional. I look forward very much to new experiences on a proven platform for a long time to come.
Parthian shots.
Having played Aggressors: Ancient Rome for only twelve hours, I have two thoughts about it; first, I was always eager to learn what would happen next after I ended every turn; second, I can't wait to learn how to play this game much much deeper and far far better. I wish you the same. Carthago delende est!

Great review Badger. I used to be addicted to Civ until they broke it with 5. A couple of points: how much does the game cost and it would be nice to provide a link to its website.

Before I made God a priority in my life. I didn't live an obedient life, I lived my own way and on my own, I didn't think I needed anyone or anything. I adapted to the things around me which in the end left me feeling alone. Now that God is a priority in my life, I'm still not perfect and I am still growing in the knowledge of Him. It's a process. I wanted to change this verse to make it sound nicer because I don't like using the word stupid, but in this case you can't get around it. Most translations translate the Hebrew word here in this verse as stupid. It actually does apply. Webster's definition of stupid is: given to unintelligent decisions or acts; acting in an unintelligent or careless manner; lacking reason; foolish; senseless.
Solomon is saying whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. If you have committed yourself to lifelong learning the you know it takes discipline to submit to the process. Greatness is not achieved in a day, but it can be achieved daily.
God has Great plans for you and He wants to operate mightily in your life, but it's not going to happen if you don't cooperate with Him. God can give you wisdom but you must obtain knowledge. Give yourself over to the process of reading, studying, and spending time with those that already are where you want to be. It takes discipline.
You need discipline in your life!
Are you willing to do what it takes to get to where you want to be.?
Are you still breathing..? Then God is not through with you!
He can still do all the things that you dreamed He would do through you, but you must submit yourself to the process of learning, growing, changing, and developing! Will we make mistakes..? Yes, Solomon was very wise but even he made mistakes. As we seek to walk down God's desired path for our lives, we will inevitably get off course from time to time and we will need course corrections.
Corrections are purposeful and necessary. I don't want to get to the end of the road or the end of life to find out I arrived at the wrong destination. None of us are perfect. Embrace correction and stop fighting against it.!
You are human which means you are imperfect. You are not always right, you don't know it all, and you must resist the prideful impulses to believe that you do. Learn to love discipline and submit yourself to the process of lifelong learning in God.
It's never too late to make the change that changes everything!
Remember God is taking you through a process! Be eager to learn His ways and Seek to please Him instead of yourself.
Father God, I declare, by faith, that I have the discipline it takes to submit to a daily routine of personal development. I submit myself to the process of lifelong learning. I know that I am not always right, so I welcome correction. Line my words up with Your Words. I want to cause my thoughts to align with Your thoughts. I take captive every thought that is not pleasing to You. I want to be a person of action, I want there to be action behind my words and thoughts. Holy Spirit, when I am off course, I welcome your course corrections, so that I can, and will, arrive at Your desired destination for my life. I am not stupid. I have the sense to know that I don't know it all. Teach me Father that I might become who You desire for me to be. I'm listening. In Jesus' name. Amen!

Popularity. Ugh. High school. But, there are two types of popularity. Which one should we pursue, likability or status? Likability starts in early childhood and includes helping others, being a supportive leader and pursuing harmony. Later, in adolescence, status becomes the goal. Why then? Because the teen brain craves attention and visibility and status satisfies the reward centers of the brain. Those popular kids, well, they're prone to risky behavior and relationship problems through young adulthood. They never stop looking for the popularity they enjoyed in high school. They didn't develop those likability traits that will benefit them throughout their lives. As a result, their competitiveness and attention-seeking behaviors result in unhealthier and unhappier lives and likely, a shorter life span. Search for balance between likability and status. Help your kids to understand the difference.

Chemistry photo diary: Vikram Shankar
Vikram Shankar
University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health
What do you do?:
I am in my 3rd of 4 years of medical school. The 3rd year of medical school is spent largely rotating through different medical specialties such as pediatrics, surgery, neurology, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and OB/GYN. I recently completed a 6-week pediatrics rotation and I am currently on a 6-week OB/GYN rotation in Milwaukee. This will be followed by a rotation in psychiatry in Madison.
What is a typical day like?:
A typical day for me really depends on the rotation that I am involved with. In pediatrics I spent a lot of time in clinics assisting with Well Child visits where we would assess the growth and development of children. In contrast, in hospitals we see cases where children have more severe illnesses like sepsis and meningitis. Currently, in OB/GYN I have the opportunity to work on cases with underserved and low-income populations where I get to talk to patients about reproductive health, assist in surgeries, and deliver babies. The OB/GYN rotation has been a lot of fun!
What was your path to get to where you are today?:
I started with a very non-traditional path to medicine. After graduating with a degree in Urban and Environmental Policy, I decided to join the Peace Corps for 27 months in a small West African country called Togo. This was the most invaluable experience I could have had. I was incredibly touched by this experience that I didn't hesitate to change my career path to medicine. This career path will bring me back to a place and people I feel strongly close to. West Africa is where I want to live and practice medicine, and for this to become a reality I decided to go back to college and started taking science classes as part of PSU's pre-med program. My first class was Intro to Chemistry with Dr. Marilyn Mackiewicz, a research assistant professor at PSU in chemistry. Her teaching methods demonstrated how energetic and passionate she was about teaching chemistry and its real-world applications. I could not have picked a better mentor to help me provide a strong foundation in chemistry to students back in Togo during the summer months when I visit the country. Through Dr. Mackiewicz guidance and mentorship I have been able to teach basic chemistry, organic chemistry, and various health-related projects to help educate the students. We also learn what is important for them and how we can make an impact that improves their lives. This cultural-science partnership has been expanded recently to working with local pediatricians in Togo to distribute books during Well Child visits as a means of promoting early childhood literacy. Educating the students is important because they can connect science with diseases and therapeutic treatments, which can be transferred to their parents.
What makes you excited to go to work every day?:
Medicine gives me the opportunity to share in other people's struggles regardless of their individual background or life circumstance. Whether this interaction involves breaking down complex disease mechanisms or giving full attention to someone suffering from depression, I am encouraged to know that I am there for the sake of that person at that very moment. Everyday I am developing skills that are both lifelong and universally applicable, and it's very rewarding. It is also rewarding to know that my fundamental science background in chemistry and biology is being used in a real world application.
What is next on your career path?:
I hope to live and practice medicine in West Africa (Togo, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, or Liberia). After I complete my medical residency in the US my goal is to join Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization that works largely in war-torn regions. In addition, my future plans include collaborating with Dr. Mackiewicz to help educate the students in Togo in the future by building a stronger cultural-science partnership.

Q: Difference between JDBC transactions and sql script commands I have a question using transactions in a JDBC connection.
I know how to use setAutoCommit(), roolback() and commit().
But now I read that it is also possible to use these commands in a sql script:
begin transaction;
create table table1 ();
create table table2 ();
commit;

What is the difference? And what happens if I set the auto-commit mode of the JDBC connection to false and then run the sql script? Does the transaction commands then only have temporary effects or are the commands ignored?

A:
What is the difference?

Running JDBC code such as commit() or rollback() is simply a Java wrapper around raw sql (i.e. sql script).  If you call commit() from a JDBC connection, ultimately the commit command gets called in SQL as a result.

And what happens if I set the auto-commit mode of the JDBC connection to false and then run the sql script?

If you set auto-commit mode of a JDBC connection to false, you are only setting auto-commit false for the scope of that particular connection.  If you have a different connection and invoke an sql script, or even open another JDBC connection, the connections would have their own auto-commit modes.

Does the transaction commands then only have temporary effects or are the commands ignored?

If you are operating with auto-commit=false, then nothing permanent happens to the database until you commit the transaction.  If you are operating with auto-commit=true, then a commit is essentially happening after every command.

A: If you want to use transactions in your application, you typically set autoCommitto FALSE and you explicitly issues COMMIT or ROLLBACK.
So the script in your question will create the two tables in one transaction, i.e. either both or none.
Two notes to your script:
Some database systems (e.g. Oracle) do implicitly open the transaction (there is no begin transaction)
Some database systems (e.g. Oracle, MySql) do implicitly COMMIT the create table statement, so the last COMMIT will have no effect and in those RDBMS it is possible to end with only one table created.

Henriette "Henny" Deppermann (* 26. Mai 1860 in Bergedorf; † 20. Juni 1942 in Berlin) war eine deutsche Landschafts- und Vedutenmalerin. Außerdem arbeitete sie als Illustratorin.

Leben

Deppermann verbrachte ihre Kindheit und frühe Jugend als Tochter von Carl und Maria Katharina Deppermann, geborene Behn, in Bergedorf. Sie studierte zunächst in Hamburg, dann in Berlin, wo sie seit 1889 Mitglied der Allgemeinen Deutschen Künstlergenossenschaft des Vereins der Berliner Künstlerinnen und Kunstfreundinnen war. In Berlin-Schöneberg unterhielt sie ein Atelier, welches sich 1893 in der Nettelbeckstraße 24 befand, wo sie auch Kurse in "Dekorativer Malerei" gab.

Als Landschaftsmalerin zog es sie immer wieder in die Natur. Dabei entstanden Gemälde auf Hiddensee, Rügen oder im Rheintal bei Bingen. Als Illustratorin zeichnete sie auch Personen des Zeitgeschehens wie Fürst Otto von Bismarck in seinem Arbeitszimmer in Friedrichsruh.

Werk
Ihr Werk umfasst zunächst naturalistische, später impressionistische Landschaftsbilder, die von einem harmonischen, unaufdringlichen Kolorit und einer sanften, aber dennoch ausdrucksstarken Lichtgebung geprägt sind. Daneben finden sich in ihrem Œuvre klassische Stillleben, technisch dominieren Aquarelle, Entwürfe für Fächer sowie Öl- und Gouachegemälde. Von ihren Zeichnungen wurde die 1894 in "Moderne Kunst" erschienene Illustration Fürst Bismarck in seinem Arbeitszimmer in Friedrichsruh bekannt.

Ihre Bilder waren in mehreren Ausstellungen zu sehen.

 1882, 1898–1901 und 1906 auf der Akademischen Kunstausstellung in Berlin
 1. bis 28. Februar 1898 auf der Kunstausstellung der Berliner Künstlerinnen und Kunstfreundinnen in dem königlichen Akademiegebäude Unter den Linden 38 zu Berlin mit dem Gemälde "Motiv aus der Villa Julia am Comer-See"
 1889 und 1900 im Münchner Glaspalast
 1904 auf der Weltausstellung in St. Louis mit dem Werk "Nixen im Mondschein" für das sie mit einer Medaille ausgezeichnet wurde
 1893, 1898, 1901, 1906 in Chicago
 1894 auf der neunundzwanzigsten Großen Gemälde-Ausstellung des Kunstvereins in Bremen

Does anyone use their iPhone, Xbox / Wii to track exercise?
I have a jawbone UP and Wobbles has a Fibit Surge + we both use the Fitbit Scales.
On my Facebook I see lots of posts from friends that update their progress, maps and graphs and wondered whether a Gadget Fitness forum is something you guys might be up for? A friendly challenges forum with others so you can compare and give each other a push.
What do you think; would you use it?
I have a Fitbit flex and I love it. It's so motivating!
I have a Fitbit flex too... although I will admit it's been stuffed into my bedside table for a few weeks it really needs charging up!
As for scales, I just use the ones at SW each week... can't afford the Fitbit Aria ones yet!
I have Withings and their scales too. And I do like all the info it churns out. It talks to MyFitnessPal and Runkeeper too so no matter what I do, or don't, they all know what I've been up to.
I really want a fitbit! Atm I just use the Shealth app on my phone and it is quite good and does pick up on when I start running rather than walking (I can almost guarantee 2 minutes of it thinking I'm running every morning when I realise I've left myself 2 mins to walk to work ) it just frustrates me that with it being on my phone I don't have it on me all the time for when I'm at the gym/ got no pockets.
Meeeeee as mentioned ... surge! Although I don't use it for 'steps' I would share other progresses and graphs I'm proud of!
I've been tempted to buy a Fitbit!
Fitbit surge is really good but if you want it for the GPS it doesn't sync your maps with MFP which I was gutted about big time! If you want to just use the fit bit app it's good other wise I would go for the fitbit HR assuming you want to track more than steps.

"Time of the Planet", a race to show that "climate change matters"
The initiative aims to ask for the enactment of a wetland law.
By: Paulina
A new edition of the race for "Planet Hour" will take place on Saturday, March 30 in Costanera Sur, Buenos Aires City, to show that "climate change matters to us".
Organized by Fundación Vida Silvestre, this time the athletic event will be held in night mode, with scheduled start at 20.30, with routes of 3K and 8K.
Powered globally by WWF, World Conservation Organization, "Planet Hour" was created to symbolically demonstrate that governments, companies and individuals can work together for a living planet.
For more than 10 years, during "Planet Hour", some 13,000 landmarks and landmarks from around the world have been darkened, such as the Opera House in Sydney, the City Hall in London, the Empire State Empire in New York, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and The Planetarium in Buenos Aires.
Since 2009, Fundación Vida Silvestre Argentina has coordinated and carried out this WWF campaign in Argentina, and this year it calls to participate in the race - this time in night modality - to "show that we can all change climate change."
This is a climate change attributed to human activity, which alters the composition of the atmosphere and increases the average global surface temperature above 2 °C.
This leads to serious consequences such as loss of biodiversity, melting glaciers, climatic phenomena extremes, ocean acidification and habitat changes, among others.
These impacts impact communities, seriously affecting millions of people, causing thousands of deaths and generating losses of $1 billion per year worldwide.
