On going research and development using HNG in waste elimination processes is showing how effective HNG can be in the gasification of plastics and other waste materials. HNG introduced into waste processing generates extremely high temperatures, without pre-heating. The result is a highly rapid gasification of materials that are captured, catalysed and re-used as a clean fuel.

What is the best Android Kit Kat Launcher?
by Brett Reardon October 4, 2018 0
One of the arguments frequently used by Android fans to establish their platform's superiority is the wider range of customization options available on the platform when compared to iOS. Widgets afford a certain degree of customization on the default launchers that come with phones, but there are also 3rd party launchers available on the Play Store that offer additional features or greater customization. Here are my favorite launchers you can install to change the experience to something a bit more personal than the out-of-the-box setup almost everyone has.
With a free version and a $4 paid "Prime" version, Nova Launcher is probably the most popular 3rd party launcher. The free version offers an impressive array of features, including icon pack support, resizable widgets, and flexible icon grid size for the homescreen. The paid version adds features like homescreen gesture support and unread notification counts. You can change almost everything about the layout and functionality of this launcher, enabling you to make everything look and function exactly how you want it. The free version never feels limited, but the added features of the "Prime" version are definitely worth the $4 for the improvements on a screen of your phone you probably see more than any other.
While still in a closed beta test, Aviate launcher provides a look at what the next generation of launcher might look like. The layout and the apps it presents change based on the time of day and where you are, attempting to make your phone more useful based on context. When at home, it may put Netflix or Play Movies closer to the top of your list, while if you're at work it will put apps like Evernote and Drive closer to the top. These applications are chosen initially by default categories, though you can resort applications that it may not have sorted correctly at first. Once it's set up, it should make the phone more useful at all times. You can't just download this right now, but it's definitely worth signing up to get a beta key sent to you.
Obviously, there are more than just these two options available to replace your homescreen app. These are just my two favorites that I've used. Google's Google Now Launcher is very nice, but it is only currently available (officially) for Nexus and Google Experience devices that have KitKat. Other launchers offer degrees of customization similar to Nova Launcher, or try to compete with Aviate's context-aware app presentation. No matter what you're looking for, there is something out there for you to customize your device exactly how you like it.

Versatile – Constant innovation brings its rewards
August 13, 2018 Company Profiles, Feature
County Meath-based Versatile has been able to chalk up over 30 years of operation thanks to a forward-thinking approach that has seen it constantly evolving its offering to suit the needs of a rapidly changing marketplace. This eye for innovation was recently further underlined when its Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation unit was put forward for a prestigious Irish Construction Industry Award 2018 within the Construction Product of the Year category.
"It's always been in our culture and DNA to provide customers with the best products available and the ComfoAir Q is just the latest example of this approach in action," explains Andrew Treacy, Managing Director. "The product was only launched in the past year and is an absolute quantum leap forward in terms of the benefits it brings to heat recovery ventilation. For example, it is a very quiet unit, producing 40 per cent less noise in comparison with similar products available in the market, while it also has the lowest SFP (Specific Fan Power) rating around. What's more, the user interface is extremely simple to use. Overall the ComfoAir Q is able to provide outstanding comfort for a perfect indoor climate and healthier buildings with maximum energy efficiency. It's cooling properties have even been able to overcome the overheating issue that has emerged due to the fact that modern buildings are so airtight."
Versatile has been operating within the heat recovery ventilation market for around ten years now, building on a specialism within the heating sector that dates back over three decades. "Over the years we've strived to organically evolve the business by listening to the needs of the market and continually keeping an eye on the latest innovations that are coming through," adds Mr Treacy. "We remain a family company and have developed the business to the extent that it now has three distinct elements within the overall group: Versatile Heating, Cooling & Ventilation; Versatile Bathrooms and Versatile Tiles. A workforce of around 60 employees support our activities across these three divisions."
Versatile's emphasis on innovation has not only helped it secure award recognition but more importantly has enabled it to shrug off the previous market downturns. "Even during the worst of the recession we were still able to keep growing the business because of the quality of the product range we offer and the fact it's so cutting edge. This meant we were leading the way in terms of energy efficiency, something that obviously becomes increasingly important to businesses during a market downturn when money is tight.
"We would never sell a product that we didn't believe in and as a result we have been able to develop excellent relationships with our suppliers and Zehnder is a prime example of this. In fact, their original owner, Hans-Peter Zehnder, said to me ten years ago that we needed to move into heat recovery ventilation because of how the market is changing. Ten years on and here we are, with their product being one of our fasting growing lines. In addition, the ComfoAir Q is ideally placed to make the most of the move towards 'Near to Zero' energy buildings that we're seeing within the wider marketplace. We're also continuing to focus on innovative radiator products too."
Despite the success of the Zehnder ComfoAir Q in particular, Versatile continues to look for opportunities in all areas of the marketplace, including traditional radiators. However, there are also challenges to be contended with, particularly with the uncertainty surrounding Brexit. "We export a significant amount of products to the UK with it accounting for around 70 per cent of our business so the whole Brexit issue is concerning, as is the volatility of Sterling. We have plenty of experience to draw on when dealing with these types of challenge, however, and we're looking forward to further develop the business by adding more products to our ventilation portfolio.
"It is clear that the market is increasingly embracing higher quality solutions and the likes of the Zehnder ComfoAir Q product will become the norm rather than the exception, as awareness of the benefits it can provide grows. Moving forward, 'Near to Zero' buildings will become all the more important to achieving Ireland's commitment to reducing its carbon emissions, so we'll be playing our part in the overall solution. It's all about having a joined up approach and we're keen for our technologies to be involved. The key now is to raise awareness of what our products can offer and the benefits they provide. In addition to being functional, our portfolio also has a strong aesthetic element too and across the group we are very design-orientated.
"It's important to emphasise that the strength of our product portfolio is only part of what we're about as a business because we're also extremely customer-focused. Our strapline is 'From inspiration to installation, we're with you all the way' and as part of this ethos our designers work closely with the client every step of the way from the very start of the project until completion. This means that in the unlikely event of an issue we will be on-hand to analyse the problem and resolve it. The overriding objective is to provide the customer with complete peace of mind."
It is this commitment to ensuring the customer receives the required level of solution that has played such an integral part in Versatile's longevity as a business. The other key element is the strength of its range, as demonstrated by the award recognition that its Zehnder ComfoAir Q ventilation unit has received. This marriage of excellent customer service and a high quality range of products looks set to keep providing the foundation for the company's future growth and development.

Circular Business Circular Guelph Business Food Innovation Food Waste Waste as a Resource
Local lab uses brewery waste as a resource to grow mold for fermenting foods
Richard Preiss, Angus Ross, and Nate Ferguson met while working at a research lab at the University of Guelph that focused on yeast. Richard and Angus were interested in homebrewing and had a solid understanding of the importance of yeast and its lifespan. Many Canadian brewers face challenges accessing liquid yeast in a timely manner and Richard and Angus wanted to address this issue. When discussing their ideas for the business, they knew what they wanted to do but did not know how to execute it. Fortunately, Nate came onboard as a key component in the development and launch of Escarpment Laboratories in 2015. With all three founders having a background in Microbiology and Chemistry, they needed support on the business side of things. Escarpment Labs began at the University of Guelph's CBaSE (now the John. F. Wood Centre) which provided mentorship through Innovation Guelph at the time. They decided to stay on with Innovation Guelph through the Startup Program to further develop and scale their business.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Escarpment Labs had to limit staff capacity at the lab, which meant there were more opportunities for the scientists to experiment with cooking and food fermentation at home. Beyond yeast, a range of filamentous fungi (molds) are used in fermented foods. The two types of molds they were trying to grow were: Koji, which is used to make soy sauce, miso, and rice wines; and Rhizopus, the culture which binds tempeh together. While working at home on these two projects, the team was able to develop some proof of concepts and are now looking at how to produce the mold cultures in a circular way. It was the perfect time for Escarpment Labs to apply to the Seeding Our Food Future (SOFF) program as they were already trying to integrate more circular practices. Their project for SOFF focused on using waste as an input and helping their customers reduce waste or create value from waste. With the help of their mentor at Provision Coalition, they have been experimenting with growing the mold cultures on spent grain from local breweries. Typically, these cultures are grown on rice or barley. However, Escarpment Labs wanted to see if they could not only use an ingredient that was not for human consumption, but something that was previously seen as waste.
Escarpment Labs has also been looking internally at ways to utilize their own waste as a resource. One of the inputs for growing yeast is yeast extract, which is dead yeast that has been grinded down. As much as Escarpment Labs tries to have all yeast made to order, they also keep a small amount on hand for overflow orders which means it will sometimes spoil. The SOFF program helped Escarpment test if they could take their own expired yeast and turn it into the yeast extract needed for growing fresh yeast. They have succeeded in freeze drying and grinding up their wasted yeast and are now performing laboratory-scale tests to validate the in-house yeast extract as an input.
At Escarpment Labs, circularity means being smart about running a business and recognizing the opportunities for reducing waste. At the end of the day there is so much time, money, and energy that is wasted trying to produce the products that are being sold. If there are opportunities to think creatively about wasted materials and turn waste products into profits, it is key to explore those avenues. One of the biggest challenges that Richard recognized in the food industry is profitability. Many food businesses operate with incredibly challenging margins and circularity in food presents so many opportunities for added profit. Circularity requires businesses to work together because often there is no use for waste internally but there is externally. Richard reaffirms that the more circular a business is the more opportunities they must become sustainable both environmentally and economically.

El Proyecto Roma es un modelo educativo perteneciente al movimiento escolar llamado "Pedagogía Alternativa" o "Educación Alternativa" un movimiento mundial que nace en contraposición del modelo pedagógico tradicional tan extendido en la mayoría de los países, especialmente de occidente que según especialistas como Ken Robinson, está llegando a su ocaso.
El Proyecto Roma se define a sí mismo como un modelo de educación inclusivo creado por el Doctor Miguel López Melero, catedrático de la Universidad de Málaga en España que
originalmente nace como un proyecto de investigación entre investigadores de España e Italia, (de ahí su nombre) centrado en encontrar maneras para educar exitosamente contextos, los resultados fueron tan reveladores que llevaron a López Melero a universalizar este modelo educativo.

El modelo pretende aportar ideas y pensamientos que ayuden a la creación de una nueva cultura pedagógica. Busca transformar los contextos escolares de los alumnos para lograr generar un cambio cultural que respete a las personas en su diversidad y las valore como sujetos de dignidad y derecho.
Quiere hacer del aula una comunidad de convivencia y aprendizaje que incorpore a las familias y la escuela en las propias situaciones del conocimiento a través de una metodología que favorece un aprendizaje cooperativo, mediante la toma de decisiones reales y el desarrollo de estrategias para "aprender a aprender" por medio de proyectos de investigación y no por medio de planes curriculares preestablecidos.

Justificación pedagógica.
El Proyecto Roma tiene sus fundamentos epistemológicos en la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Jürgen Habermas, en la idea de investigación-acción de Stephen Kemmis, la concepción de inteligencia de Alexander Luria, la antropología de Lev Vigostki y el modelo de educación como culturización del ser humano de Humberto Maturana. Igualmente se fundamenta pedagógicamente en las ideas de Jerome Bruner, John Dewey y Paulo Freire.

La hipótesis básica que impulsa el Proyecto Roma es que todas las personas son competentes para aprender pues no nacemos siendo inteligentes sino que a través de los contextos y las experiencias nos vamos haciendo inteligentes, la inteligencia no es una cuestión previa al aprendizaje, sino que es justo al revés, el aprendizaje produce desarrollo cognitivo, nos hace inteligentes. La inteligencia no depende de ningún don sino de las oportunidades que tengamos para aprender.

El modelo pretende que a través de proyectos de investigación que nacen del interés de los alumnos se logre un trabajo cooperativo y solidario, busca que los estudiantes aprendan a pensar, comunicar, sentir, decidir y actuar, en un ambiente inclusivo en donde convivan personas diferentes, algunas de ellas con diferentes peculiaridades cognitivas pues, López Melero cree que a través de la diferencia se mejoran y enriquecen los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.

Principios del Proyecto Roma
Desde el Proyecto Roma se asume y defiende el proyecto educativo democrático que emana de los Derechos Humanos y los Derechos del Niño, de ahí que su preocupación sea saber qué debe aprender el alumnado y cómo deben enseñarlo. Este es el sentido del currículum escolar para el profesorado del Proyecto Roma y esto no es sólo una cuestión académica, sino ética, porque no tiene que ver sólo con los contenidos curriculares, sino, también, con cómo las personas se van configurando a través de los mismos. De ahí que sostengan que la doble finalidad de la escuela pública sea aprender a pensar y aprender a convivir a través de los sistemas de comunicación, de las normas y valores que se establezcan democráticamente y se vivan en las clases.

Sus principios son:
 Todas las personas son competentes para aprender (Principio Confianza)
 Se trabaja de manera cooperativa y solidaria en las aulas (Grupos heterogéneos)
 La construcción del conocimiento de manera social a través de proyectos de investigación. (Convertir nuestras aulas como si fuese un cerebro. Proceso lógico de pensamiento).
 El aula como comunidad  de convivencia y aprendizaje (Construcción de la democracia en las aulas).
 El respeto a la diferencia como valor (las diferencias étnicas, de religión, de hándicap, de procedencia, etc., mejoran los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje).
Por todo ello, enseñar a indagar y a investigar es algo que define al profesorado del Proyecto Roma y esto, a su juicio, sólo lo pueden conseguir a través de proyectos de investigación, ya que consideran que la indagación es el fundamento del aprendizaje. Es a través de los proyectos de investigación, considerado como aprendizaje cooperativo, como adquieren sentido los contenidos más significativos y relevantes necesarios para resolver situaciones problemáticas. Así que los contenidos deben proporcionar al alumnado por un lado educación (conocimientos significativos y relevantes) y por otro desarrollo (instrumentos simbólicos necesarios para el aprendizaje autónomo). Desde el Proyecto Roma se postula que no se trata de adquirir conocimientos sino de aprender a observar, indagar e investigar.

Dimensiones del pensamiento.
El Proyecto Roma afirma que para lograr un mayor aprendizaje la educación se debe realizar siguiendo el proceso lógico del pensamiento, mismo que se da en cuatro dimensiones, la dimensión de la cognición y metacognición o zona de pensar, la dimensión del lenguaje o zona de comunicar, la dimensión de la afectividad o zona del amor y la dimensión del movimiento o zona del movimiento.

En la dimensión de la cognición y metacognición se da la percepción, la atención y la memoria. En esta dimensión los alumnos pueden aprender las clasificaciones, seriaciones, agrupamientos y categorizaciones.

En la dimensión del lenguaje se da la codificación y decodificación de los distintos lenguajes como son los idiomas, el lenguaje matemático, el físico, el artístico o el musical.

La dimensión de la afectividad es adentrarse al mundo de las emociones y los sentimientos, de la comprensión de la diversidad y la consiguiente valoración de las diferencias y de la necesidad de colaborar, en esta dimensión nacen las normas de convivencia y la comprensión de los valores.

En la dimensión del movimiento se da el conocimiento del cuerpo, la lateralidad, la praxia o psicomotricidad fina y gruesa.

Proyectos de investigación.
Para el Proyecto Roma los proyectos de investigación son un modo de aprender a aprender en cooperación y comprenden las siguientes partes:
 Cuestiones Previas: Etapa en la que se conocen los integrantes del grupo, se consensúan las normas de convivencia (de clase, asamblea y grupo) y se definen responsabilidades.
 Asamblea. En una conversación grupal, a partir de una situación problemática común, se determina el proyecto de investigación. Esta situación problemática debe partir de los intereses y curiosidades del alumnado, en relación con su vida cotidiana. Se elabora un lista de lo que se sabe y de lo que se necesita saber para dar respuesta a la situación problemática.
 Plan de Acción. Se forman grupos heterogéneos que planificarán la acción. Cada grupo decide qué va a construir para dar respuesta a la situación problemática y elabora un plan de operaciones (aprendizajes genéricos-interpersonales) siguiendo el proceso lógico de pensamiento. Cada miembro del grupo, decide también sus aprendizajes específicos (intrapersonales). Por último se planifican los posibles imprevistos.
 Acción. Cada grupo lleva a cabo su planificación para la construcción de lo que han decidido, el maestro/maestra sigue el proceso de trabajo de cada grupo y ofrece la ayuda que se requiera para reconducir sus reflexiones y acciones.
 Asamblea Final. Bajo ciertos lineamientos se presenta el proyecto de investigación en asamblea a los otros grupos y se procede a la evaluación de los aprendizajes genéricos y de los aprendizajes específicos. Se elabora el mapa de aprendizajes de toda la clase.

== La construcción de la democracia en el alula
La convivencia democrática es una forma de maduración social. La democracia se vive propiciando un espacio de participación real en la toma de decisiones de los miembros de un grupo, de allí surge la necesidad de establecer normas de convivencia basadas en la confianza que se tiene que dar entre cada uno, en el respeto mutuo y en el diálogo permanente. Cualquier grupo de personas debe ser una comunidad de convivencia y aprendizaje ==.

Para el Proyecto Roma los valores no se enseñan, se viven en la vida de convivencia, todo grupo debe conversar sobre cuáles serán sus normas de convivencia, mismas que deben ser lo más equitativas posibles y basadas en la libertad de todos los componentes del grupo.

Las normas no son una relación de 'cosas' que se publican o se dictan, sino que cada miembro debe asumir su responsabilidad. Es decir, que el incumplimiento de una norma conlleva que los valores que deben emerger en la convivencia no salgan a la luz.

Aún cuándo cada sociedad es diferente hay unos principios básicos y fundamentales que les hace decir cómo vivir. Así las normas deben surgir del consenso y no de la votación, pues la decisión de las mayorías puede no ser una decisión justa, sin embargo una decisión consensuada en la que todos los miembros pueden dar sus argumentos para su vivencia o no vivencia y que no se define sino hasta que todos la hayan asimilado es garantía de su cumplimiento.

En el Proyecto Roma no hay reglas (que son impuestas y rígidas) sino que se construyen normas que se suscitan al vivir una situación problemática y nacen de la reflexión y el consenso.

La evaluación.
López Melero propone un método de evaluación cualitativo que se fije en todas las dimensiones de la persona y no un método cuantitativo que se centra únicamente en algunos aspectos.

Según esta teoría el modelo de evaluación por calificaciones de la escuela tradicional:
 Califica el desarrollo individual con lo que genera exclusión y competencia.

 Tiende a valorar únicamente el pensamiento lógico racional produciendo en los alumnos desprecio por las otras dimensiones de la persona.
 Obliga a los alumnos a alcanzar un estándar curricular que produce una situación de competencia creciente que genera estrés y bullyng.
El modelo evaluativo del Proyecto Roma:
 Reconoce el conocimiento cooperativo que elimina las diferencias y el bullying.
 Da igual importancia a todas las dimesiones de la persona.
 Cualifica el aprendizaje interdisciplinario y da seguimiento a los avances del alumno.
El examen en la escuela tradicional es en la mayoría de los casos la herramienta principal de la calificación, en él se deposita gran parte de la definición del alumno, mientras que en el Proyecto Roma el examen si lo hubiera sería una herramienta más para ayudar -nunca definir-  a saber si el alumno ha adquirido un cierto tipo de conocimientos y una cierta habilidad.

Halloween can be a tough holiday to make healthy, the main focus is sweets and treats, but not all Halloween snacks have to be unhealthy, good food can be fun too. Our team in Motivation Gorey have put together their favourite healthy halloween treats for kids. These healthy halloween treats will make any party table look spooky yet colourful on halloween night. So before you dish out sweeties and chocolate why not give some of these a try.
Apple Monster Mouths: Cut an apple into quarters, remove the seeds and remove a wedge from each. Fill the mouth with low fat peanut butter and yogurt covered raisins or almonds.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds: For older kids, roasted pumpkin seeds are a deliciously healthy snack! To roast your own pumpkin seeds, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Wash your seeds removing and pumpkin pulp, spray with 1 cal spray and a pinch of salt. Bake for 45 minutes.
Banana Ghosts: Half a banana and decorate with chocolate chips.
Orange Pumpkins: Little mandarins or clementines are easily turned into cute little pumpkins with just a simple stalk of celery poked on top!
Fruit Salad Pumpkin: A great way to incorporate carved pumpkins to your table display. Carve a really big open mouth then place the pumpkin on a tray and scatter lots of chopped up fruit in front of it.
Sweet potato pumpkins: Slice sweet potato into 1cm thick disks and carve out a simple pumpkin face on them. place them in the oven for 30 minutes at 180C, turn them after 15 minutes.
Edible eyeballs: Slice carrots into 1 inch thick chunks, top each with small blob of low fat cream cheese, stick one half of pitted black olive on top.
If you give any of these ideas a go we'd love to see your photos. Please share them on our Facebook page.

Even before I was born I was loved deeply and very precious to my Father. The moment He fashioned me He fell in love. He had never seen anyone so beautiful. His beloved daughter. Tears fell down His eyes as He held me, His precious daughter. He watched me grow; I made Him laugh with the silly things I'd do. My tender heart caused Him to smile. How beautiful I was in His eyes.
There was also a sharp pain in His heart as He watched me, for He also knew what was to come. He knew I would not understand what was to be apart of my life. At such a tender age it would seem that people would want to destroy me. My Father would weep for the pain and suffering I would endure. He knew He had the power to stop my suffering; a suffering that would leave me numb and lost. He understood because His Son had suffered an even greater suffering for the sins of all mankind.
My Father knew I would someday grow to understand the suffering of His Son because of what I would suffer. I would see His suffering and understand the pain and the torment He went through to no fault of His own. He knew I would see the hope, and the beauty in His suffering. His beauty would then reflect in my face.
During my suffering I would feel so alone and abandoned. I felt alone not because He was not there, but because I could not see. I was blind to the truth of Him. I did not see that He had His arms wrapped so tightly around me, loving me.

Many people although see the need and fabulousness of carpet tiles opt out of having them in their own home due the expense of having the fitted by a professional. These people obviously have not looked in to them properly as if they had they would of found out that they are in fact extremely easy to fit and that they could of fitter them by themselves. To fit this amazing flooring solution you do not need any experience at all, its a completely easy process and all that you need to do is follow a few very easy steps.
If you would like to fit these in your home then first of all it is important that you make sure you have everything that you are going to need. You will of course need carpet tiles of your choice, a tape measure or ruler depending on what you prefer to work with, a cutting knife that has a sharp blade, a strong pair of scissors, a mop and bucket and finally some high quality carpet adhesive that can be bought at affordable prices from many, many places.
To start the process you should measure out the area in which you would like the tiles to go, you can do this with your ruler or tape measure. After this you should do some maths to see if the tiles your have are perfect for these measurements. You may even want to roughly lay them on the floor to practise and see how they are going to look. It would also be a good idea to remove absolutely everything out of the room so it is easier for you to work with. If the room that your fitting the carpet tiles in isnt the exact measurements of the tiles you may need to cut a few of the tiles down to size. You should do this as carefully and precisely as possible, measuring it our properly and cutting carefully with your scissors. If you choose to use your knife instead of scissors, although this may sound obvious you should do so on a surface that wont get damaged from the blade. If the surface that the tile are going on arent completely clean it will make sticking them much harder so you should have a good mop beforehand and wait for it to dry out.
You will then be ready to put your tiles down. You should follow the direction o the back of your individual glue to see just how much you have to use. You should start next to the wall to make sure you are fitting them properly and save you from any mistakes being made. Many people choose to glue a few tiles at once so they can get it done faster. This doesnt mean you should rush though, do not glue more than four or five tiles at once otherwise the glue might dry up a little and make them less likely to stick. After this all you need to do is bring your furniture back into whatever room it may be and enjoy.

Q: Consola h2 no muestra una de mis tablas Tengo mi proyecto Spring Boot, corro el proyecto, y la consola h2 sólo me muestra la tabla Post, y no la de User

La clase post está hecha de la siguiente manera
@Entity
@Table(name = "post")
public class Post {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id_post", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "description", length = 255)
    private String description;

    @ManyToOne
    private User user;

}

Pero la clase User la tengo de la siguiente manera
@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id_user", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private Long id;

    @Column(length = 50)
    private String name;

    @Column(length = 50)
    private String email;

    private LocalDate birthDate;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JsonManagedReference
    private final List<Post> posts = new ArrayList<>();

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "User{" +
                "id=" + id +
                ", name='" + name + '\'' +
                ", email='" + email + '\'' +
                ", birthDate=" + birthDate +
                ", posts=" + posts +
                '}';
    }

    public User() {
    }

    public User(String name, String email, LocalDate birthDate) {
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

    public User(Long id, String name, String email, LocalDate birthDate) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.email = email;
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

   //getters and setters
}

Tengo una función donde creo varios usuarios pero al momento de ejecutarlo se rompe la aplicación, no creo ningún post, pero al momento de correr la aplicación sólo me muestra la consola la tabla de Post y la terminal me muestra
Hibernate: drop table if exists post CASCADE
Hibernate: drop table if exists user CASCADE
Hibernate: drop sequence if exists hibernate_sequence
Hibernate: create sequence hibernate_sequence start with 1 increment by 1
Hibernate: create table post (id_post bigint generated by default as identity, description varchar(255), user_id_user bigint, primary key (id_post))
Hibernate: create table user (id_user bigint not null, birth_date date, email varchar(50), name varchar(50), primary key (id_user))
Hibernate: alter table post add constraint FKk2pskk356iip08omsx3t2x0qm foreign key (user_id_user) references user

A: Tenía el mismo problema y lo solucioné de igual manera añadiendo esta línea de código al archivo application.properties:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update

¡Gracias!

Infosec has the highest CCNA pass rate in the industry! Get certified now!
Why Earn your CCNA with Infosec?
The Cisco Certified Network Associate Routing and Switching certification exam (200-125 CCNA) covers many areas, including network fundamentals, LAN switching, IPv4 and IPv6 routing, WAN technologies, infrastructure services, security and infrastructure management. Infrastructure management makes up 10 percent of the exam topics published by Cisco.
In this article, we discuss what you need to study for the infrastructure management part of the CCNA R&S. The CCNA R&S has adjusted its course of study over the years, and it now includes topics that are more practical than ever. Beyond CCNA, the infrastructure management concepts and tools you learn here will be directly useful for administering production networks.
The infrastructure in "infrastructure management" refers to network infrastructure, which is a combination of routers, switches and the LAN/WAN links that bind those devices together. The management in infrastructure management refers to the use of concepts, protocols and tools for day-to-day maintenance and troubleshooting of networks.
CCNA R&S puts various technologies together under the banner of infrastructure management. These technologies do share a common theme, but are otherwise different. You can generally study each of these technologies independently without following a specific order. For example, you can focus on ping and traceroute commands at one time without concerning yourself with monitoring protocols like SNMP and Syslog.
Please note that the term "network management" is commonly used in the industry to refer to the same grouping of tools called "infrastructure management" in CCNA R&S.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a core topic in infrastructure management. You will need to know SNMP concepts well, and be able to configure both SNMP v2 and SNMP v3. The two versions have significant differences, especially in their security features, and you will need to understand those differences.
Syslog is a standard for message logging. The terms "Syslog" and "logging" essentially refer to the same thing. There's more information on this topic in the device management section of this article.
IP SLA (IP Service Level Agreement) is a tool available on Cisco routers that lets you set up automated operations for sending synthetic probe traffic into the network. By sending packets and receiving responses, the router can measure and report network availability and performance. CCNA R&S covers ICMP echo-based IP SLA operations.
Cisco routers and switches use two different configuration files: running-config and startup-config. You will need to be certain what each file does. You must be able to copy configuration files to and from the router and find your way around the device file system where those configuration files are stored. You should also know IOS features for archiving and restoring device configuration.
CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) and LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) are similar protocols that discover basic information about neighboring routers and switches without needing to know the usernames and passwords for those devices. CDP is available only on Cisco devices, while LLDP is supported by Cisco and other vendors. For CCNA R&S, you should be able to configure and verify CDP and LLDP. You should also be able to interpret the information learned by those protocols about neighboring devices.
Cisco has used different methods for managing router and switch licenses over time. CCNA R&S focuses on the most common method called PAK (product authorization key) licensing. You should be able to verify current licenses, install/uninstall a new license, activate a license code, and backup licenses from a device.
Cisco devices generate log messages to notify the administrator of any issue. You need to understand how a Cisco device handles those messages and how you can configure devices to send the messages to different locations.
Log messages carry timestamps that must be accurate for the log messages to be truly useful. You can use the clock set command in combination with NTP to keep correct time. The clock timezone command lets you set the correct time zone.
Loopback interfaces are virtual interfaces on Cisco IOS devices. To create loopback interfaces, use the interface loopback number command in global configuration mode. You will need to understand the unique features and uses of loopback interfaces.
Cisco sells many different products that may run different operating systems. The Cisco IOS Software is the most prevalent Cisco operating system, found on routers and Catalyst LAN switches. CCNA R&S covers a few IOS features that work nearly identically on routers and switches.
The Cisco IOS software comes as monolithic files stored in the device file system. For CCNA R&S, you should be able to upgrade and recover IOS image files using several alternate methods.
CCNA R&S has a brief discussion about how to recover a lost router or switch password. It's an important life skill for network professionals.
Routers and switches can be thought of as specialized computers. They have a file system of their own where they keep configuration and IOS image files, among other things. For CCNA R&S, you need a basic familiarity with the device file system.
Ping and traceroute are useful troubleshooting tools. Both tools test the data plane: that is, the ability of the network to send packets between two points. The ping and traceroute commands are available on both Cisco routers and switches. Extended versions of both commands are available that make very capable tools for network troubleshooting. You should take your time understanding the idiosyncrasies of those extended options.
By default, Cisco routers and switches do not send log messages to telnet and SSH users. The user must enter the terminal monitor command in privileged EXEC mode during the session to tell the device that it would like to receive log messages.
These log messages provide information about past events. You should be able to interpret log messages, as it is an important troubleshooting skill. You will also need to know the configuration commands for sending log messages to different destinations.
SPAN (Switch Port Analyzer) is a tool available on Cisco switches that allows you to make the switch send a duplicate copy of all frames to a specific switch port. Local SPAN refers to the scenario where the SPAN destination port resides on the same switch as source port(s) or VLAN(s). For CCNA R&S, you should know SPAN concepts and local SPAN configuration on a Cisco switch.
For decades, people have used the CLI or web interface to configure and maintain network devices manually. You spend time understanding protocols that devices use, learn the commands needed to configure those protocols, and manually add configuration commands, device by device. That's how we've managed networks so far.
Network programmability, also known as SDN (Software-Defined Networking), represents a new way to build networks. The term "network programmability" indicates that there is great focus on programming or automating networking through software.
This brings our review of infrastructure management for CCNA R&S to an end. So far, the discussion has remained in the boundaries set by the official CCNA R&S syllabus. We hope that you now understand what's required to do well on the infrastructure management component of your CCNA R&S exam, and feel that much more ready for the exam itself. Good luck!
Earn your CCNA the first time with Infosec and pass your exam, GUARANTEED!

San Ramon, CA—June 9, 2011—The EnOcean Alliance announced today it has signed up its 200th member company, NanoSense. NanoSense develops products using EnOcean and KNX technologies that regulate and optimize air quality inside buildings. Created in April 2008 by Distech Controls, EnOcean, Masco, MK Electric, Omnio and Thermokon, the EnOcean Alliance now counts 200 member companies from 20 different countries. Collectively, Alliance members support 750 interoperable products deployed in over 200,000 buildings worldwide that use energy harvesting wireless technology designed for building automation systems. Other Alliance members include General Electric, Siemens, Masco, Leviton, Honeywell and Texas Instruments.
The EnOcean Alliance has created an ecosystem around energy harvesting wireless technology to create an industry standard, continue product interoperability and promote the technology among members. EnOcean-based energy harvesting solutions are battery-less and wireless, and therefore operate independent of an external energy source. The sensors "harvest and store" tiny amounts of energy from motion, light or temperature differences. The harvested power is sufficient to transmit a wireless signal and intelligently control lighting, heating and air conditioning systems. In many cases they deliver recurring savings of 20-30 percent in new building installations and up to 80 percent savings in retrofit scenarios. Maintenance, cabling requirements and installation time are also considerably reduced.
"I'm very proud to welcome our 200th member company to the Alliance," said EnOcean Alliance Chairman & CEO Graham Martin. "We've seen significant growth in just three years and this milestone is a real symbol of vitality and dynamism of the Alliance. This fine success rewards all of the work carried out by our members and our promoters."
Leading companies worldwide from the building sector collected to form the EnOcean Alliance, with the aim of promoting and establishing innovative automation solutions for sustainable buildings – and so to make buildings more energy-efficient, more flexible and lower in cost. The core technology of the Alliance is the energy harvesting wireless technology for flexibly positioned and service-free sensor solutions. The EnOcean Alliance aims to standardize and internationalize energy harvesting wireless technology, and is dedicated to creating interoperability between the products of OEM partners. More than 200 companies currently belong to the EnOcean Alliance. The headquarters of the non-profit organization is located in San Ramon, Calif.

I didn't want boring normal floating shelves, so I made floating hexagons! These hexagon shelves were really easy and quick to make!
I measured 10" lengths of board and marked them. You could make yours whatever length you want depending on what size shelf you want to make.
Make 30-degree cuts with both facing inwards on each piece.
Cut 6 pieces per shelf.
I used masking tape to hold the pieces together, then put Gorilla Wood Glue on the joints before assembly. I used a brad nailer for final assembly, and to give the shelves just a tad more strength.
Since the boards I used weren't perfect and neither were my cuts, I used wood filler to fill in the gaps before painting.
Sand down all the wood filler and the surface of the wood to give it a better surface finish before painting.
I painted the shelves using a roller and the leftover baseboard paint from remodeling my room. You could use whatever paint you want, including spray paint.
To hang up my shelves I used D Ring hangers, I just thought they would be the best option to use for the weight and size of the shelves. Feel free to let me know what you think would work better in the comments!
Using the spacing I used on the shelves I screwed in a couple of screws in the wall and then hung up the shelves from those.
You're done, enjoy them! I may change around what I put in them, but here's what I displayed in my shelves!
