Albéa
Sustainable development: a major concern!
Interview by Jean-Yves Bourgeois
"Packagings with a sustainable vocation seem to now have become part of all consumer expectations... It is a growing concern which has to do with ethical, economic and environmental issues." This observation - which was made in July 2009 by a well-known international research firm, teams from Albéa had already widely anticipated it. Actually, seven years ago, Albéa's current Innovation & Development Director, Nick Thorne, had already started research work in the development of environmentally friendly products.
Albéa's Innovation & Development Director, Nick Thorne
Premium Beauty News - So it's almost ten years from now when you first started tackling this task?
Nick Thorne - Yes, indeed as of 2002, we started looking seriously at this issue on the development of environmentally friendly products. Very quickly, this led us to Life Cycle Analysis concepts and we started our studies on measuring the impact of packaging. Without the help of figures it is very difficult to see the facts!
In 2007, it was clear that sustainable development would be a cornerstone of our strategy along with innovation and operational performance of our global industrial network.
Our commitment consisted in putting forward programs, initiatives and tools that we had conceived. Then we started to reflect on major issues that we wanted to base our strategy on and we began to build partnerships with some customers, some suppliers, and even some competitors. More generally speaking, we addressed the subject from two angles: the one of direct impact on environment and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, and the broader one of sustainable development.
Other equally important aspects were obviously not neglected in our approach, such our responsibility when purchasing raw materials from our suppliers, the control on the energy we use and our ability to generate waste. May I remind you that Albéa is also partners with Ecovadis that provided the first collaborative platform allowing companies to evaluate the environmental performances of their suppliers worldwide. Since its launch in 2007, more than 25 Groups chose this platform to monitor CSR risks linked to their supply chain and thus improve the sustainable development performance of their suppliers.
Premium Beauty News - Were customers truly motivated at the time?
Nick Thorne - Quite frankly, motivation was diffuse and somewhat unbalanced until 2006. And then, we must admit there was a strong acceleration as of 2008 and 2009. Today, it's a major concern.
Premium Beauty News - What are you working on specifically?
Nick Thorne - We are working of course on developing more environmentally friendly packaging and as I told you, on reducing the impact of our industrial activities but also on our social corporate responsibility.
Today, we are able to provide our customers with packaging solutions using less material or incorporating new materials and even to measure and compare, with a computer assisted tool of Life Cycle Analysis that we have specially developed, their respective impacts on environment.
A concrete example would be for instance, the reduction of the environmental impact of about 30% of a standard tube, thanks to improvements carried out on its closing system. We have also developed the ENCORE tube that contains 60% of recycled materials. Another example, engineers from the Betts company, who have joined us, have developed a new process for laminated tubes allowing to more easily do without secondary packaging for toothpaste products, for example. This is a new simplified technology for the manufacture of aluminium-free sleeves, who have the ability of resuming their original shape after an impact. I can also mention a mascara we developed for a large brand of cosmetic products, the conception of which helped decrease by 30% its environmental impact.
Premium Beauty News - Biodegradability, compostability, use of bio-polymers or recycled materials... The field is vast!
Nick Thorne - Yes, very vast indeed! But we must be pragmatic. Since the use of biopolymers is not available for the time being, we might as well turn to effective and immediate solutions, which are, between you and me, as essential as cutting down the weight of packaging, incorporating recycled materials, etc,. In so doing, we can reduce the amount of material used, through lightening or eco-design. We replace some materials by others and we measure the overall impact of each solution to compare it with existing solutions. What is important, too, is to work with raw recycled materials which are available in sufficient quantities, with food grade quality and aesthetically matching our applications. This is now the case with HDPE, but is not yet true for other key technical materials such as ABS that we use a lot.
This does not mean that developments on biopolymers do not motivate us. May I remind you that with the support of competitiveness clusters Plastipolis and IAR, we launched Thalia, the research and development project that comprises a consortium of ten manufacturers from the French plastics industry and two research laboratories (INSA Lyon and ESIEC).
The EUR 4 million worth project, with the support of the State and local authorities, aims to implement innovative solutions for the development of eco-designed products, using a eco-designing tool in order to combine innovative designs with new adapted materials (including bioplastics), to provide environmental benefits while complying with the functional and technical requirements of the concerned products and to take into account the economic and societal constraints of the market.
The positive effects of the Thalia project will impact several levels:
Significant reduction of the environmental impact of plastic packaging,
Protection of several thousand jobs in France in the plastic packaging sector,
An increase in the turnover of the various business partners.

Here at PayScale, we've highlighted the success stories of many career changers from all walks of life, age groups, and backgrounds. However, what we haven't discussed in great detail are some of the potential pitfalls of switching careers. Any career change has a 50/50 chance of going either good or bad. For the brave at heart, a career change can be the best thing to happen to an individual seeking a new and better opportunity.
Let's look at some factors surrounding career changers, the mistakes people make, and how to avoid these if you are in the process of changing occupations.
How Many People Have the Potential for Switching Careers in America?
For the 11.5 million people displaced by the Great Recession (August 2013, The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ), there have been some tough career decisions made in terms of where the next paycheck would be coming from. Nearly half of those who have been unemployed or underemployed have been so for 27 weeks or more, despite the current reduction in the total US unemployment rate (down to 7.4 percent). This means many people have had to take on second, even third jobs to put bread on the table while they plan the next course of action in terms of their careers.
Are We a Nation of Career Changers?
It's been estimated by career experts that in the course of one adult working lifetime, a person can change careers as many as seven times. In 2010, at the height of the Recession, Wall Street Journal reported that BLS researchers had shown that, "job changes are common early in a person's working years: Three in four workers age 16 to 19, and half between 20 and 24, have been with their current employers for under a year." However, they were quick to point out that these figures do not take into consideration the mature workforce that is forced to leave jobs because of layoffs and company shut-downs, and that many younger workers switch jobs due to temporary or seasonal summer assignments and college demands.
What are Some Mistakes that Career Changers Make?
The truth about changing careers at any stage of life or career growth is that mistakes can and do happen sometimes. Whether a job change is planned out or spur of the moment, these are some of the most common mistakes with switching jobs.
1. Not putting away enough in savings. We all live in uncertain times, therefore it's important to develop a savings mindset. Career changers are advised to sock away at least two to three months' salary, but realistically it should be closer to six months' worth if you want to maintain a stable lifestyle. Forgetting this basic fact can put you in the poorhouse in a short period of time, and cause you to focus on survival vs. career growth.
2. Forgetting to draw on previous career strengths. Just because you are changing careers doesn't mean you should throw all caution to the wind and leave your old work experiences behind. Too many people fall into the trap of forgetting the accomplishments they've had and instead try to take on something that falls way outside of their expertise. Instead, draw from the past and create a better future by looking for solutions.
3. Neglecting the educational element. To successfully switch careers, you may need some new training and education. This is for two reasons: 1. you lack the credentials to compete with subject matter experts, and 2. you need to brush up on your skills and make sure you bring yourself up to speed on changes in the new industry. Failure to do this will eventually backfire and prevent you from true career growth.
4. Fear of honoring your skills. You are a unique person, capable of so many new things. However, you may have settled into a career rut because it feels "safe" in some way. This is a mistake! Stop second-guessing yourself. Take a careful inventory of all your skills, your personality, and your interests and then seek out a career path that honors your total abilities.
5. Not finding a mentor or support network. As a career changer, you are apt to make mistakes, have questions, and run into obstacles. To get around this problem you need someone more experienced than you to guide you. Seek out a mentor and a career support network early on in your career change and you will be that much more successful in the long run.
Want some inspiration to change careers? Here is an encouraging article featured on Huffington Post that highlights the success stories of late in life career changers – proving it's never too late to transform your career into something better. We hope you are successful and if you need ideas about careers to try, be sure to check out the PayScale Career Goals tool.
We want to hear about your experience of changing careers! What have been the biggest mistakes or hurdles you've overcome? Share your thoughts on Twitter or in the comments section below!
While I agree with point 5. Not finding a mentor or support network. I personally want to share that its NOT AT ALL EASY TO FIND A REAL MENTOR. Most people want to use u for getting their work done or for selfish desires!Pls can u share an article on HOW TO FIND A MENTOR or WHO IS REAL MENTOR ?

Why impact unicorns are crucial to solving global problems
By Jeroen Bolluijt
Exponential scaling is critical to founders of social impact businesses who want to maximise the impact they have in the world.
It is also important for investors, who want to ensure that they get their return so that they can invest more in successful high-growth enterprises and other companies striving to create impact.
Most importantly it is a powerful way to truly solve global problems. If we want to tackle big issues we need to come up with big solutions and roll them out globally, at scale and at speed.
Impact unicorns as a mechanism for pervasive positive change
In the tech startup world, the unicorn is a well-known phenomenon, defined not as a magical horse with a horn, but as a privately held startup company valued at more than $1 billion*. They are praised and adored. But these unicorns are more than just a brag list for countries to show off their success. Unicorns are important as they tend to stay in the country where they were founded, and they contribute significantly to the local economy through job creation and taxes**.
Just as importantly, unicorns create an innovation eco-system around them, inspiring others to become the next one. The founders often go on to start other enterprises, they attract talent and get people enthusiastic about the change that is possible. The 'Paypal Mafia' is the most frequently cited example: Paypal's early employees and founders went on to create many of Silicon Valley's most prominent and successful firms, with more than $100 billion in combined value.
The creation of impact unicorns to solve global challenges
In the impact business space, our ambition should be to create impact unicorns: fast growing enterprises that have positively impacted more than 1 billion lives. And there are many companies that are on their way to that. Enterprises like the solar energy company d.light, that has officially impacted 100 million people in 70 countries by providing reliable, affordable and accessible solar lighting and power systems for the developing world. Another example is a company called Vitality that aims to make 100 million people 20% more active by 2025 through their wellness program. This is not another form of weightwatchers; this company is backed by 150 patents, uses the latest tech and is supported by global partners such as Apple and Livongo.
Another impact-unicorn-in-the-making is the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation which is leading the fight against malaria. According to the 2018 World Malaria Report, there were more than 200 million malaria cases in 2017. However, since the early 2000s, major investments in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention helped reduce malaria cases by more than 40 percent and reduce deaths by more than 60 percent worldwide. Although this has been a coordinated effort across a number of partners including the WHO, PMI and Global Fund, the US$2.9 billion in grants committed by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation to combat malaria has impacted millions of people.
The impact unicorn index
If the existence of impact unicorns is pivotal to solving global challenges, we need to better understand what it takes to create, grow and replicate this type of enterprise. The first step in this process will be tracking those entities that are on target to achieve the goal, those who have already impacted 1 billion lives or expect to do so within the next three years.
We have created an initial impact unicorn index and are working with a number of partners to create a final list by March 2020. Contact me if you are interested in joining this initiative or would like a copy of the final list when available.
The inaugural impact unicorn index candidates are:
President's Malaria Initiative
Global Fund
d.ligt
Grameen Bank
Me to We
The SafePoint Trust
*Aileen Lee, founder of Cowboy Ventures.
**Crossroads: An action plan to develop a world leading tech start-up ecosystem in Australia, 2019.

Explore these summer destinations—without breaking the bank!
Just beginning to feel the sweltering summer heat but already itching to get your vacation plans in place? Like everyone else, you're probably concerned about your budget. Don't worry; there's no need to scramble and deplete your bank account just to get that well-deserved break.
Below, we've rounded up a list of the best summer destinations you can check out that are within your budget—whatever it may be.
One of the most popular beaches in Quezon is Cagbalete Island. It's known for its long stretch of creamy white sands and vibrant turquoise waters. You can play and eat by the beach and just enjoy the sun on your back (and every other part of your body). There are resorts around the island but if you want to cut down on expenses and enjoy a truly unique experience on the island, you can always opt to camp out on the beach itself.
Anilao Beach in Mabini, Batangas may not be your first choice as it's mostly known as a top-notch diving spot but its crystal clear waters and fine sand beaches will convince you otherwise. The payoff is a 4-hour trip for a whole day (or weekend) of beach bumming and island hopping. Go snorkeling and marvel at Anilao's abundant marine life.
A lot of people bitten by the travel bug head to Zambales eventually—and for good reason. Its famed coves make for great camping sites, enough to fulfill the dream of every camper. You can save big on accommodations and even food costs if you pack your own. You can pitch a tent at Nagsasa Cove, Potipot Island and Anawangin Cave, among others. And while you're there, go star-gazing, surf at Liw-Liwa Beach and explore Subic.
The 5-6 hour travel time from Manila to the cerulean beaches, spellbinding sunsets and cascading falls in Bolinao, Pangasinan make for the perfect barkada trip. From there, you can visit its top attractions: Patar White Beach, Cape Bolinao Lighthouse and the Bolinao Waterfalls. And while you're at it, make sure to stop and appreciate its sunsets—it will be the perfect way to top off your trip.
Only 3.5 hours away, Puerto Galera is one of the most accessible and budget-friendly destinations near our bustling metro. With its crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches surrounded by lush forests, the coastal town makes a great spot for scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and beach bumming. Its main attractions include Sabang Beach, White Beach and Tamaraw Falls. You can also enjoy the lively nightlife should you feel like capping off your vacation surrounded by people and by making new friends.
A day trip to Bataan will satisfy your craving for history, culture and nature. Seemingly go back in time and explore the historical Mt. Saat and the Dambana Kagitingan—a shrine and its museum built in the memory of the brave people who fought and died during World War II. While you're there, you can do a detour to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, known for its Spanish-Filipino heritage mansions. You can also bask at Bataan's many scenic beaches in Morong, Bagac and Mariveles.
It's time that people stop sleeping on the "Marble Capital of the Philippines"—Romblon is blessed with three major (and unspoiled) islands! Tablas Island, Romblon Island and Sibuyan Island possess white sand beaches, marvelous sandbars, wild rivers and spectacular rock formations. You can also have a side trip to Fuerza San Andres to see the province's heritage offerings if that's more up your alley. Warning though: getting around can be a bit costly, so expect to shell out some money for this trip.
Want something a little more off the beaten path? Head over to Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur for an enthralling escapade in Mindanao. Here, you'll find the numinous blue waters, known for its flow source and unidentified depth that is the Hinatuan Enchanted River. You can spend your days island hopping, kayaking, snorkeling and swimming in this spot alone.
Don't let your budget hinder your dreams of discovering new places and experiencing life through its scenic spots. You can afford to travel; you just need to find the right fit—which should be easy considering how many beautiful spots our country has to offer. Plan and turn your summer trip into the dream you deserve.

In reality, study after study shows you want someone who is just like you.
Everyone seems to agree that opposites attract. Young and old people, happy and distressed couples, single folks and married partners—all apparently buy the classic adage about love. Relationship experts have written books based on this assumption. It's even been internalized by people who are on the hunt for a partner, with 86 percent of those looking for love saying they're seeking someone with opposite traits.
The problem is that what's true of magnets is not at all true of romance. As I explain in my book, Great Myths of Intimate Relationships, people tend to be attracted to those who are similar—not opposite—to themselves.
Whether people really find opposites more attractive has been the subject of many scientific studies. Researchers have investigated what combination makes for better romantic partners— those who are similar, different, or opposite? Scientists call these three possibilities the homogamy hypothesis, the heterogamy hypothesis, and the complementarity hypothesis, respectively.
The clear winner is homogamy. Since the 1950s, social scientists have conducted more than 240 studies to determine whether similarity in terms of attitudes, personality traits, outside interests, values, and other characteristics leads to attraction. In 2013, psychologists Matthew Montoya and Robert Horton examined the combined results of these studies in what's called a meta-analysis. They found an irrefutable association between being similar to and being interested in the other person.
Because similarity is associated with attraction, it makes sense that individuals in committed relationships tend to be alike in many ways. Sometimes this is called assortative mating, although this term is more often used to describe the ways in which people with similar levels of educational attainment, financial means, and physical appearance tend to pair up.
Love stories often include people finding partners who seem to have traits that they lack, like a good girl falling for a bad boy. In this way, they appear to complement one another. For example, one spouse might be outgoing and funny while the other is shy and serious. It's easy to see how both partners could view the other as ideal—one partner's strengths balancing out the other partner's weaknesses. In fact, one could imagine the friends and relatives of a shy person trying to set them up with an outgoing person to draw the shy one out. The question is whether people actually seek out complementary partners or if that just happens in the movies.
As it turns out, it's pure fiction. There is essentially no research evidence that differences in personality, interests, education, politics, upbringing, religion, or other traits lead to greater attraction.
Despite the overwhelming evidence, why does the myth of heterogamy endure? There are probably a few factors at work here. First, contrasts tend to stand out. Even if the partners in a couple match on tons of characteristics, they may end up arguing about the ways in which they are different.
Beyond that, there's evidence that small differences between spouses can become larger over time. In their self-help book Reconcilable Differences, psychologists Andrew Christensen, Brian Doss, and Neil Jacobson describe how partners move into roles that are complementary over time.
In the end, people's attraction to differences is vastly outweighed by our attraction to similarities. People persist in thinking opposites attract—when in reality, relatively similar partners just become a bit more complementary as time goes by.

Q: Adjust :hover property to a new property when the font-size of h1 has changed I have a little problem... I don't know how to adjust the :hover letter-spacing property when I have made a change in the appearance of the text using @keyframes... More specific: hover changes my h1 appearance like so: font-size, position, letter-spacing, etc. letter-spacing is default 0rem, but when I hover over the text it changes to 1rem. which works perfectly but I have added an animation that changes the position, font-size of h1, from font-size: 12.5rem; to font-size: 5rem; the problem is that I don't know how to change the letter-spacing when I hover over. When its font-size is 12.5rem; it looks good, but when the animation it's finished the font-size is 5rem, and it looks awful for me when I hover over it having letter-spacing 1rem. I need some help... please as you can see its changes its positions and font-size, the hover keeps to be 1 rem, I want to change the hover letter-spacing from 1rem when it has font-size12.5rem, to 0.2rem idk when I hover over it and it has the font-size of 5rem... I hope you understand what am I saying, btw if I've made any grammatical mistakes feel free to correct me, I'm not a native speaker and sometimes I struggle with English, therefore I need to know when I'm wrong. thanks btw.

Just wondering if anyone has tried MMCACHE with Moodle 1.2?
I can say that performance skyrockets!!!
The only issue is with the dynalink text filter. If I have that enabled (we have a lot of glossary entries for instance), then course homepages do not completely display. If I disable the text filters, then it runs absolutely awesome! It seems like MMCACHE does not want to wait to parse pages very long.
Ah, thank you. That is exactly the problem I was having with Turck ... the course pages weren't displaying fully (it would get down past the first section and then stop). This only happens with the cache turned on. I hadn't realised it was also related to dynalink. How very odd.
Im trying to install MMCache, is it possible to run in this server? is the requirement of MMCache is a must? How do I install and compile it in linux the setup instruction is not so clear about installation... help? Is it compatible to moodle 1.1.1 or higher version? What do I need?
You don't need mmcache or any other php accelerator, unless your server is running too slowly. I got it running on Redhat 9 with Moodle 1.1.1, but I got errors running 1.2. Martin said he also had trouble with mmcache, but PHP Accelerator works. So you could try that, if you need to speed your server up.
I just installed PHP with MMcache included and enabled.
Could you explain "the only issue is with the dynalink text filter". Is that on MMcache? And does this, "if I disable text filters", mean Moodle's filters?
I am getting the following error only when I enable the media plugin filter on Moodle, and wonder if it is related to MMcache.
I need the multimedia plugins for quiz questions with audio. If MMCache is the problem, what should I redo in its settings?
Sorry, can't help with that error. Since Turck caused much of the webpages not to be completely displayed, I discontinued trying to use it. This was when the text filter was enabled. I am not sure why this happened...maybe Martin came up with a solution.
Thanks, Rich. If there is no workaround for the conflict between MMcache and the mediaplugin/glossary filters, then I will have to give it up too.
No ideas from me, sorry. The filters work fine with the IonCube PHP Accelerator so that's what I use ... I didn't pursue Turck further to narrow this down.
Thanks! That's what I needed to hear (but not really what I wanted to hear ) I notice MMcache seems not be supported anymore, and it means I seriously have to think about a Linux server with PHP Accelerator to handle our big quiz/audio load. So sad to think about losing my Mac (no OS X version of the accelerator), but I know you have been recommending linux for a long time. It's kind of like losing my religion though. Send me over a couple beers to help me get over the trauma.
Martin has posted that MMCache isn't compatible w Moodle. Most of these accelerators fiddle with PHP's output chain, so code that also uses the output chain (such as output filters) tend to conflict with them.
Ioncube's PHP Accelerator is an alternative, and Martin seems to have indicated that it works better.

Q: Network call on alarm times out I have an app that uses AlarmManager to schedule a repeating alarm every X amount of time. When my receiver receives the Intent, it has to make a http request.
The alarm itself works fine and triggers when it should. The network call, however, starts timing out when the phone is not in use. To be more specific:
When I schedule it to fire every minute (bad practise, I know, but just to illustrate), the first 5-8 minutes the request succeeds. After that, I get a java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out. Sometimes it does succeed, but mostly this happens.
I tried setting the connect/read/write timeouts to a minute, but then I get this exception instead of the one above: java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to myapp.example.com/123.45.67.89:80.
My code:
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // Consider mApi and myBody to be initialised and valid
        mApi.myPostRequest(myBody).enqueue(new Callback<Void> {

            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<Void> call, Response<Void> response) {
                //Does not get here
            }

            @Override
            public void onFailure(Call<Void> call, Throwable t) {
                t.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
}

Things I've tried:

*

*as stated before, increasing timeouts

*acquiring a WakeLock in
onReceive and releasing it when the call is done (added the
permission)

Other information:

*

*The alarm is set using
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP,
SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), interval, pendingIntent); from my
Activity.

*I'm using Retrofit (2.1.0) for the network communication, but you could probably have guessed that from my code ;)

Any ideas on how to get the network call working when the phone is sleeping?

A: You Should use JobService here, it has many constraint to handle different scenarios and also your Job is guaranteed to be executed by the system.
The problem here is of doze mode, and using JobService this can be resolved easily.
Implementation is also easy all you need to do is create a JobService and inside it's onStartJob() start your network thread and then just dispatch your job.
For more detail
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/job/JobService.html

A: From https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/BroadcastReceiver.html

As a general rule, broadcast receivers are allowed to run for up to 10
  seconds before they system will consider them non-responsive and ANR
  the app. Since these usually execute on the app's main thread, they
  are already bound by the ~5 second time limit of various operations
  that can happen there (not to mention just avoiding UI jank), so the
  receive limit is generally not of concern. However, once you use
  {@goAsync }, though able to be off the main thread, the broadcast
  execution limit still applies, and that includes the time spent
  between calling this method and ultimately PendingResult.finish().

Further reading says

If you are taking advantage of this method to have more time to
  execute, it is useful to know that the available time can be longer in
  certain situations. In particular, if the broadcast you are receiving
  is not a foreground broadcast (that is, the sender has not used
  FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND), then more time is allowed for the receivers
  to run, allowing them to execute for 30 seconds or even a bit more.
(long work should be punted to another system facility such as
  JobScheduler, Service, or see especially JobIntentService),

You can try using @goAsync. Or you can switch your logic to JobIntentService
I haven't tested any of these.

A: You have a basic mistake in your code - you cannot make requests (or any long running operations) in your broadcast receiver - it dies after ~10 sec so that might be the reason for some of your failures.
You should move the request logic to a service (IntentService) which you'll start from your broadcast receiver and make the request there.
That should work just fine.

A: From developer docs : https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/AlarmManager.html

The Alarm Manager holds a CPU wake lock as long as the alarm
  receiver's onReceive() method is executing. This guarantees that the
  phone will not sleep until you have finished handling the broadcast.
  Once onReceive() returns, the Alarm Manager releases this wake lock.
  This means that the phone will in some cases sleep as soon as your
  onReceive() method completes

In your code onReceive will return before mApi.myPostRequest(myBody).enqueue ...task will be executed, then this task probably will be never executed due the CPU will stop as soon onReceive returns.
You said you tested acquiring a WakeLock, but new Android 6.0 Doze mode ignores wakelocks
It seems that OnReceive will have to wait for the task to end
Some ideas:
Checking for some terminate flag in a loop with thread.sleep ?
If the task uses a Thread object then using thread.join() ?

A: You should use AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, not AlarmManager.ELAPSED_REALTIME_WAKEUP to wake up device and you should use a service to do your job started in Received in onReceive with startWakefulService(context, service.class). This will ensure that device will fully wake up and do your network call without timeout.
alarmManager.setRepeating(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, SystemClock.elapsedRealtime(), interval, pendingIntent);

A: If the problem is caused by Doze and Wakelocks being ignored, you should try the tips offered in https://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/doze-standby.html:

Standard AlarmManager alarms (including setExact() and setWindow()) are >deferred to the next maintenance window.

*

*If you need to set alarms that fire while in Doze, use setAndAllowWhileIdle() >or setExactAndAllowWhileIdle().

*Alarms set with setAlarmClock() continue to fire normally — the system exits Doze shortly before those alarms fire.

A: there are 2 problems in your implementation:
1) if broadcast receiver doesn't get finished executing within 10 seconds then ANR will happen.
2) All network calls are optimized in the background, so when device is wake it may work else will not fire HTTP request to conserve battery and other resources.
what you should do is inside service create a loop (with sleep time of few seconds) that checks time on each iteration and when that time is reached then perform task, I have also faced such issues when tried to upload files to server at an interval of 1 hour, so I decided to work on my own rather than using AlarmManager class...
I hope this will help you...

A: Use Foreground service to get your job done.
Refer the official link for dive into Foreground service
By using Foreground service, we can set the interval to start doing an API call in the background without getting affected by the doze mode. follow this simple example that includes complete code and walkthrough.
happy coding. Thanks ;)

A breakfast cereal or snack usually consisting primarily of cooked dried grains and sweeteners such as honey, brown sugar or maple syrup. Oat-based granolas tend to be the most popular. Granola may also include dried fruit, nuts and a multitude of other ingredients. While some granola recipes require no cooking at all, most are baked until crispy.
Granola is often eaten while camping or hiking because it is lightweight, high in energy and it stores well.
In the late 1960's, granola was very popular with hippies who appreciated the food for its all-natural ingredients. This association with hippies resulted in an alternate definition of granola. Today, the word "granola" is also used to describe hippy-like personality traits (i.e. "That girl is real granola").


It has just started to cool down in North Carolina, so I finally got to pull out my sweaters. This was the perfect outfit to be walking from class to class in 60 degrees.
The Steve Madden Gills sneakers are great everyday shoes, they are casual and comfortable. My sweater is from Topshop; I got it as a gift a few years ago, but here is a similar sweater. Lastly, my jeans are from American Eagle. They are great if you want the comfort and look of leggings, but wanna look a little more put together.
I paired this with a simple and neutral makeup (mostly because I was running late haha). I love how clean and simple this look is. Black and grey are great to make any outfit look sleek. This was also an easy outfit to throw together last minute and still look cute.
I hope you guys liked this outfit of the day! Let me know if you guys would like more of these!

What Is the Theory of Constraints?
Answered March 05 2020
The theory of constraints looks at what's holding back an objective in manufacturing from achievement and supercharges a team to make necessary changes to revitalize progress.
For example, Mazda applied the theory of constraints to transform its business to meet the needs of consumers. Targeting those impacted by financial losses due to the recession, Mazda wanted to provide quality products that could be affordable. Mazda then developed advanced technology that provided low fuel consumption from an internal combustion engine that would rival a hybrid engine.
Some struggles stay the same for companies, no matter what industry they are in, where they're located, and who are working for them. These fundamental needs spawn most of the so-called "management fads" that populate many different websites, news feeds, and other sources of information.
While management fad is a term that is generally used in a derogatory sense, everything that is labeled this way has a basis in reality and the potential to change a company in a real, fundamental way. One of the best recent ideas that have been gaining traction is the theory of constraints.
In this article we will cover:
The goal of the theory of constraints
Application of the theory of constraints
The theory of constraints five focusing steps
Pros and cons of the theory of constraints
Examples of the theory of constraints
Implementing the theory of constraints in your business
The theory of constraints is a management strategy that focuses on improving the most important and limiting factor (the "constraint") until it is identified and resolved. This factor may also be referred to as a bottleneck, particularly in manufacturing.
The process is based on the philosophy that all complex systems are made of multiple activities that are all linked together. This chain of events depends on each event, one of which is the bottleneck/constraint/weak link.
When that link is eliminated, the entire process according to the theory of constraints becomes streamlined, more efficient, and more reliable. In a company-wide strategy, the processes move from link to link until all links are streamlined and efficient.
Instead of eliminating waste, the theory of constraints works from an increasing sales point of view. This viewpoint directly impacts the goal and the applications of the theory of constraints.
The simplest definition of the goal of the theory of constraints is profit, both long-term and short-term. In this process, multiple sub-processes such as the Five Focusing Steps and Throughput Accounting are used in order to discover, improve, and eliminate the different constraints that companies face.
In order to achieve this goal, the theory of constraints rests on prioritizing improvement activities above everything else. The top constraint is always the problem that must be solved first.
Typical theory of constraints applications
The theory of constraints can be used in a lot of different applications across-the-board. Some common ones include:
When many people first discover the theory of constraints, they think it can only be applied to plant management and other applications mentioned in the theory of constraints founding document, The Goal, by Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt. While those are common examples given in the book, the process can be applied to many different things.
Here's a look at that process, its core principles, and some of the pros and cons of this system.
The theory's processes
Unlike other processes, the theory of constraints rests primarily on its core principles. These principles, in turn, are a set of processes that focus on the constraints in question. The biggest pillars are the Five Focusing Steps and Throughput Accounting.
Understanding these pillars enables companies to understand the processes behind implementing the theory of constraints.
The Five Focusing Steps
These five steps are the foundation for identifying and removing constraints in this methodology. It's a cyclical process that can start at one specific point: identifying the constraint. The Five Focusing Steps are:
and Repeat.
This is a continuous cycle that is applied across all assets and constraints when companies commit to using the theory of constraints as a meeting in strategy. In other cases, it may be a one-off done to a particular asset to test the viability of the strategy for a company's needs. In either case, the five focusing steps are a great beginning to a cohesive theory of constraints strategy.
The thought processes
The thought processes mentioned here are a fancy way of referring to three questions that must be answered when you're using the theory of constraints. These are:
What needs to be changed?
What should it be changed to?
What actions will accomplish this?
In some cases, companies have used different, smaller strategies to answer these questions. More common strategies used include decision trees, diagrams, and other methods of sorting through data.
Throughput Accounting
The final pillar of this system is throughput accounting. Briefly put, throughput accounting is an alternative accounting system that prioritizes eliminating traditional issues that plague accounting, such as accumulating too much inventory and so-called "paper profits."
Three different metrics are used to determine how well companies are using throughput accounting. The first one is throughput, which is the rate at which customer sales are generated minus fully variable costs. These variable costs do not include labor, unless they can be fully tied to produced inventory.
The second metric is investment, that is money that is locked into physical things. And the last metric is operating expenses, which are fairly straightforward.
In the theory of constraints schema, most management decisions are based on increasing throughput, reducing investment, and reducing operating expenses in that order. The majority of the effort goes into increasing throughput.
The end goal of all of these systems, rules, and cycles is to focus less on cutting expenses and more on creating sales. That's the essence of the theory of constraints.
While it may seem complicated, especially when reading about this theory, the core idea is one that companies have always had in some shape or form. You can either cut expenses or increase sales. Ideally, you would do both. The theory of constraints puts increasing sales first and foremost.
That being said, every company is wildly different and not all strategies work in all places. Let's look at the pros and cons of the theory of constraints and where it would work best.
Before we get started, it's important to realize that these pros and cons may not be applicable in all situations. Also, the theory of constraints methodology is not always at fault and may not be the problem. With that being said, here are the typical pros and cons of the theory.
There's one thing that the theory of constraints is best at and that is it improves communication between departments. By its very nature, this strategy depends on different departments and sections of a company talking together to determine where the constraints are and work together on solving them. For companies that are struggling with styling, disconnection, and other communication issues, the theory of constraints may be a great help.
This process also excels at improving short-run capacity decisions, understanding and editing older company processes, and avoiding localized department optimization. The focus is on the company as a whole, as opposed to improving a department at a time. It takes a very organic approach to the events that happened on a day-to-day basis on a production floor and in the office at the same time.
Finally, it's something new. Sometimes organizations need a new strategy to shake them from top to bottom and to get them back on track. The theory of constraints is one such strategy that is very good at revitalizing large organizations and getting them all to work together again.
For every pro, there's generally a con behind it. Improved communication between departments and a heavy focus on constrained areas can lead to neglect of areas that do not face constraints. This focused concentration can also center around problem areas and forget about areas that are in need of reward or recognition.
This methodology also promotes a desire to reduce capacity and production. Because there is so much focus on trimming down excess inventory, it's tempting to simply stop making things in order to reach the new, lower quota. While the theory of constraints focuses on selling all of your inventory as a method of reducing access, there's always the reality that there's another way: cutting back. And that needs to be avoided.
The theory of constraints is also a short-term, rapid solution to constraints. If not carefully watched, the long-term is easy to forget about when companies start using these strategies. Because the long-term will become the short-term quicker than anybody cares to admit, these tendencies do negatively impact the company. Examples include neglecting to release new products, less attention to the resource and development sectors, and overall long-term improvements.
All of these aspects, both positive and negative, have a place and time. Some companies will find a lot of good comes from the theory of constraints. Others will have a harder time leveraging this method.
What's great about this system, in particular, is that it doesn't have to be a company-wide change. Try it out in a small department or integral piece and see what it may offer you!
Theory of Constraints Examples
Now let's move on to some examples of the theory in practice. Here, it's split up by industry but a few general things apply across the board. First of all, the processes outlined above are the same no matter what the industry. The application is what differs.
It's also important to note that the theory of constraints works at its best in different situations depending on the industry. For example, manufacturing plants may see the most improvement when they commit to the theory of constraints if they apply it first to their production lines, machinery, and other common sources of bottlenecks.
On the other hand, a maintenance company may see the most improvement when they apply these practices to paperwork, regulations, government guidelines, and other industry-specific constraints. Here are examples of the theory of constraints in the manufacturing, maintenance and healthcare industries to get you started.
It's not much of a surprise that manufacturing as a whole has seen great results from the theory of constraints. It's particularly useful when applied to large assets, production lines, and other areas crucial to the company's success. However, these same areas are very prone to bottlenecks, such as equipment downtime. One notable example is Dr. Reddy's Laboratories in 2014. Facing down a significant amount of backorders and low supplier ratings, they needed a change.
The theory of constraints enabled them to boost their ratings, fill their backorders, and eventually paved the way to them receiving a recent best supplier award. They continue to use it to this day.
Maintenance companies don't rely as much as manufacturers on heavy assets and production lines. However, they do have to balance the needs of many different facilities at the same time. They may also be a department within a larger company, with their own goals and methods that are not necessarily the same as other departments and don't have a highly-visible direct impact on the overall company.
The theory of constraints bridges the gap between a maintenance department and the rest of the company. For maintenance-oriented companies, it prevents siloing, improves information transferences, and cuts through the fluffy tasks that are done simply because someone said that they ought to be.
Healthcare industry companies of all sorts struggle with the mountains of paperwork that they must manage, sort, and utilize on a regular basis. That's a whole lot of constraints right there! The theory of constraints is a great way to start out what has to take time from what is taking time. This can be invaluable when it comes to paperwork and all of its attendant problems.
Depending on what part of the healthcare industry companies are in, they may find additional benefits, such as increased communication and connection that are offered to companies. It's a flexible system that can be adjusted to a lot of different needs, just like healthcare.
The best way to implement the theory of constraints in any given business is to start with the five focusing steps. It's a straightforward cycle that can be easily scaled up or down according to your needs. The cyclical nature of these steps makes it so that there's no need for huge, overwhelming company-wide change, yet if the system works, it's easy to scale it up.
That being said, what are some simple steps for those who do not want or cannot freestyle such a change on their own?
Walking through the different steps
The theory of constraints is one of the easier strategies to implement because it is so clearly outlined in the five focusing steps and in thorough accounting. Here are some questions to get you started on the five steps.
Identify: What is the current bottleneck or constraints that we are struggling with the most?
Exploit: What are some quick improvements you could make today, with the resources at hand? What are some improvements that will take a longer time?
Subordinate: What can we stop doing in order to make those improvements?
Elevate: Is the problem the first priority or are other things getting those resources, time and effort? Are we elevating the issue in question above everything else or is it still an afterthought or nuisance that we have to deal with?
Repeat. What's the next constraint on the list?
That's all you need to get started. What else do you need for a smooth transition to using the theory of constraints on a department or company level?
Getting buy-in from other managers and departments
After the initial testing phase/tryout, you may want to scale the theory of constraints to fill your overall department or company needs. This is highly dependent on raising and getting support from other managers and leadership throughout the company.
Some things to keep in mind during this process include:
Talk to the people who know your assets backed. They'll know where the bottlenecks are and they will tell you if you give them an opportunity!
Make sure that people understand what the theory of constraints is. A lot of people look at something new and think that it's going to create more work down the line. This isn't always the case and should be made clear from the start.
Understand that changing the way people think takes time. A lot of time is standard for most new management strategies.
Finally, it may not be for you. The theory of constraints is a great strategy for many companies, but it may not work for your needs. One of the most common mistakes during this whole process is getting too invested in a theory or strategy that does not work for you. It's a good thing to keep in mind as you work to create success.
After the groundwork has been laid, it's time for everything to work out--at least in theory. What are some troubleshooting guides for the most common problems that arise during the implementation of the theory of constraints?
First of all, the entire theory rests on the five focusing steps and thorough accounting. They should be the first two areas that you check when things start going wrong. In general, if one of the stops is forgotten, it will affect all the rest of the steps.
Next, throughput accounting is not a complete substitution for regular accounting. Both need to be present and monitored in your company, even after you have committed to the theory of constraints.
Finally, if something's not working, investigate it and go back to the basics. Have each of the five steps been accomplished? Are you treating the steps as a cycle? Are you aware of all of the constraints inherent to this theory and acting accordingly?
Many times, these small bumps seem much bigger than they actually are. As with most strategies, the important thing is to keep going.
The theory of constraints is a great method to revitalize companies and their processes. It focuses on moving quickly through the normal, everyday clutter that drags down employees, managers, and executives by offering solutions to the most immediate problems. This makes it ideal for companies who are older, struggling with tedious processes, or who don't have a cohesive system in place today.
On the other hand, this theory can cause younger companies to sprint too quickly through problems without thinking about the longer-term. The same things that enable companies to move quickly also tend to forget the long run. While this may not be a problem in companies where there is a sound infrastructure that simply needs to be dusted off, the theory of constraints should not be relied on as a be-all-end-all solution.
Like most management theories, the theory of constraints has a lot to offer companies today. Unlike many other strategies, it's easy to implement on a small scale in order to see if it works for your needs. Try it out today in tandem with a quality computerized maintenance management software and see where it will take you.
The sky's the limit!

But the drive is not recognized by gparted or any other disk utility.
Should I conclude that the drive is defective, or do I need to install any  special drivers for it?
EDIT: when connected to a Windows machine, the device is recognized (and a driver for it is installed from somewhere), but then Windows offers to format the disk, then fails with something like "formatting failed" with no further information. I wouldn't know how to begin to debug that, and anyway I want to use the drive on a Linux computer.
EDIT2: even though the device claims to be USB 3.0 compatible, I have connected it to an ordinary USB 2.0 port.

A: I have replaced the disk with another one and this time the disk was recognized and could be formatted. The large Barracuda must have been defective. I will close this question in a little while.

Home/Tech/Intel hopes to start making chips for car companies within six to nine months
Intel hopes to start making chips for car companies within six to nine months
Daniel MillApril 12, 2021Last Updated: April 12, 2021
Intel could start producing in-demand semiconductors for car companies within six to nine months, CEO Pat Gelsinger said in an interview with Reuters, commenting that the chipmaking is already being discussed with companies that design chips for cars.
"We're hoping that some of these things can be alleviated, not requiring a three- or four-year factory build, but maybe six months of new products being certified on some of our existing processes," Gelsinger told Reuters. "We've begun those engagements already with some of the key components suppliers."
Even if Intel is unable to meet that six to nine month goal, the news highlights the importance that Intel is placing on its new business as a producer of chips for other companies.
"We've begun those engagements already with some of the key components suppliers."
Gelsinger unveiled the new business — called Intel Foundry Services — as a "standalone foundry business unit" last month at his "Engineering the Future" announcement, with promises that the company would put its fabs to work producing x86, Arm, and RISC-V core chips for external clients. As part of that announcement, Intel also planned to invest $20 billion into expanding its fabs in Arizona to help it better meet demand from external partners.
The automotive industry has been one of the areas that's been hit hardest by the ongoing global semiconductor shortage, with car companies like Ford and GM forced to shut down production or make changes to their trucks due to a lack of parts. If Intel is able to start producing automotive chips within the year, it could provide a much-needed new avenue of supply to alleviate those shortages.
The global shortage has reached the point that the Biden administration is looking to intervene: the president has called for a review of the semiconductor supply chain in an executive order and hosted the executives of companies including Intel, Google, Ford, GM, TSMC, and Dell at the White House for today's "CEO Summit on Semiconductor and Supply Chain Resilience."
"We've been falling behind on research and development and manufacturing, and, to put it bluntly, we have to step up our game," Biden said at the meeting.

Joe Barrera: Christmas in South Texas
December 24, 2017 ~ The Almagre Review/La Revista Almagre
Growing up in south Texas in the 50's we used to get Christmas presents on three different days. First there was the feast of Saint Nicholas on December 6. Saint Nicholas, a fourth-century bishop who gave gifts to poor people, is the original gift-giver whose name has morphed from the Dutch Sinter Klaas into Santa Claus. Because of him people in Europe give and receive gifts. A remnant Spanish custom survived in our small town and the children got gifts on December 6. I remember getting oranges and apples in my stocking, but never the proverbial lump of coal that the bad kids were supposed to get. For many of the older Mexican people Dec. 6 embodied the spirit of the season, whereas Christmas was the American celebration. All the Christmas customs, the gift-giving, the decorations, etc. were absent. We didn't have a Christmas tree, for instance, until sometime in the late 50's. My mother found a dried branch from the huge pecan tree in the yard. She brought it inside the house, painted it white and hung Christmas lights on it. That was the first Christmas tree I remember. It looked beautiful. Gradually, Christmas presents began to appear under the tree. By the early 60's most of the old customs had died out and the new Christmas had taken over.
The real celebration of "Christ's Mass" was at church. "Misa de Gallo," midnight mass on Christmas Eve was the important occasion and even the little kids would attend. The highlight was the procession of the children to the empty manger, to lay down the image of Baby Jesus. After mass everyone would go home and eat tamales and drink the powerful cinnamon-laced Mexican chocolate. That stuff could keep you up all night but of course that was not allowed for the children. The men had gone deer hunting and brought back plenty of venison. The women had spent hours in the kitchen marinating the meat and putting it into the corn dough wrapped in corn husks and then steaming the tamales in huge pots. There is nothing more delicious than venison tamales. For days afterward we would be eating tamales. At Christmas women ruled the house. I remember my mother and her "comadres," which literally means "co-mothers," making untold dozens of tamales and enjoying their sisterhood time. I sneaked in just to listen to them talk, but men were not allowed in the kitchen.
The twelve days of Christmas, December.25-January 6, had real meaning in those times. There was the joy of Christmas, but mixed with sadness, as all earthly experience must be. We remembered the Holy Innocents on Dec. 28, when all the men and boys named Inocente were honored. I often wondered how so many not-so innocent types could have that name. And how could Herod have killed so many babies? There was New Year's Day, sacred to God the Father, who seldom gets any credit, but because of him sacred to all who bear his name, Manuel. After that there was Epiphany, on January 6, holy to all those named Epifanio. On Epiphany the Magi come bearing rich gifts. It is the Day of the Three Kings, el Dia de los Reyes Magos, the day of the Wise Men. This is also the name-day of all those named "Reyes." In the old way of looking at things your name-day is much more significant than your birthday. The saint or sacred feast whose name you bear is your protector, a type of totem beloved in the Indo-Hispano culture.
If there was a true joyous day for all, this was it. Jan. 6 definitely eclipsed Christmas for gift-giving. Baltazar, Melchor, and Gaspar had brought gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ Child. We emulated them and brought our own gifts. We gave gifts to friends and family. But in a holy time it's the King you must honor and how can you give the King any gifts? He already has everything, owns everything. He doesn't need your poor gift. The Irish nuns at the parish school told us so. They said that on his birthday it is the King who gives gifts. During this season we should ask the King for a favor. There is always life, but also death, and the Irish, like the Mexicans, are ever aware of death. The grace we should request, the sisters said, was for the dead–the release of dear loved ones from Purgatory. Release of captives, that was the true spirit of Christmas and Epiphany. More purified sinners are released from Purgatory at Christmas than on All Soul's Day.

Using Fictional Characters Without Permission Is A Real Problem
There always is a lot of confusion among the general public about the nature of copyright infringement and whether it is legal to create your own works, whether it be commercial products or fan fiction, based on other people's works. One person recently asked me what the penalties were for plagiarising fictional characters. Although I've written about the topic of intellectual property rights before, I thought I would share my answer with my other readers.
Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission, infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works.
Literary, artistic, and musical works — including books, comic books, video games, films, television shows, cartoons, and songs – are eligible for copyright protection. So is any written work (such as a character description) that is sufficiently original and substantial.
If you were to write your own story or make a video game about Superman character, for example, it would be considered to be a derivative work of DC Comic's Superman comic books. If you publicly distributed such a derivative work without DC Comic's permission, it would be copyright infringement.
In the United States, the penalties for copyright infringement are:
Infringer pays the actual dollar amount of damages and profits.
Infringer pays statutory damages ranging from $200 (accidental infringement) to $150,000 (intentional infringement) for each work infringed.
Infringer pays for all attorneys fees and court costs.
The Court can issue an injunction to stop the infringing acts.
Names alone are not substantial enough to be considered literary works and therefore are not eligible for copyright protection. You are free to name your baby "Superman" if you wish. Similarly, Joe Croce is allowed to have the lyrics "you don't tug on superman's cape" in his song You Don't Mess Around With Jim, as it is only a reference to the Superman character.
However, the words comprising names can be registered as trademarks used to represent a company or product. For example, one of the many trademarks DC Comic has registered for the word "Superman" is for confectionary products (USPTO trademark serial number 7578832).
Trademark infringement involves using someone else's trademark without permission on competing or related goods and services in such a way that it causes a likelihood of confusion in the average consumer. If you were to use the word "Superman" without permission on the packaging of candy that you were selling, you would be infringing on DC Comic's trademark 7578832.
A trademark violator who is sued by the owner of a lawfully registered trademark in the United States may be ordered to pay monetary damages based on lost profits calculated from the sales the trademark violator made while using the trademark illegally. If the court finds that the trademark violation was intentional, such as a case in which the violator is selling goods that he is trying to pass off as coming from a known popular brand, the court may impose penalties of three times the amount of actual lost profits.
Ideas are not protected by intellectual property laws. For example, the idea of a cape-wearing, flying, invincible superhero who comes from an alien planet is not protected, and so you are perfectly free to create your own cape-wearing, flying, invincible superhero who comes from an alien planet. However, if you add on enough details that are similar to the Superman character (similar outfit, his planet is named Krypton, works as a reporter for The Daily Planet newspaper, etc) that the average person would confuse your character with DC Comic's Superman character, you would be committing copyright infringement.
Plagiarism is taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Plagiarism is not a crime; however, when committing plagiarism, many people also commit copyright infringement, which is a crime.
Also, crediting someone's work that you use without their permission does protect you from committing plagiarism, but it does not protect you from committing copyright infringement. If you were to post your own story about or drawing of Superman on the internet with the disclaimer "Superman is a character owned by DC Comics. No copyright infringement is intended", DC Comics could still successfully sue you for copyright infringement.
Now, you've probably noted that I did use an image from a Superman comic book to illustrate this article. However, there are certain limited Fair Use exceptions to using copyrighted works without permission, such as criticism, news, an parody — so long as you only use enough of the work as is necessary for your purpose and your use does not deprive the copyright holder of any potential revenue or market for that work (you can also use characters for which the copyright period has lapsed or are otherwise in the public domain). I think that my use is Fair Use for my purpose of educating my readers about intellectual property laws. Besides, I don't think DC Comics would object on me telling people not to "tug on Superman's cape" with out their permission.

Netbook is an informal classification for a variety of small, low-power mobile personal computers (PCs) used primarily for e-mail and Internet access, that are becoming less common because of tablets such as Apple's iPad.[citation needed]
At their inception in late 2007 as smaller notebooks optimized for low weight and low cost — netbooks omitted certain features (e.g., the optical drive), featured smaller screens and keyboards, and offered reduced computing power when compared to a full-sized laptop. Netbooks split the difference between traditional, full-service laptop PCs, or notebooks, and smaller, more-limited devices such as Web-enabled "smart phones" and personal desktop assistants (PDAs). Over the course of their evolution, netbooks have ranged in size from below 5" screen diagonal to 12". A typical weight is 1 kg (2–3 pounds). Often significantly less expensive than other laptops, by mid-2009, some wireless data carriers began to offer netbooks to users "free of charge", with an extended service contract purchase.
In the short period since their appearance, netbooks have grown in size and features, now converging with new smaller, lighter notebooks and subnotebooks. By August 2009, when comparing a Dell netbook to a Dell notebook, CNET called netbooks "nothing more than smaller, cheaper notebooks," noting, "the specs are so similar that the average shopper would likely be confused as to why one is better than the other," and "the only conclusion is that there really is no distinction between the devices." Early netbooks ran either Microsoft Corporation's Windows XP Home Edition or a custom configuration of the free operating system Linux. Typically, netbooks support Internet communication via high-speed Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Their size precludes optical storage devices, but they usually include slots for solid-state flash memory cards.
A major factor in popularity decline[] was the lack of netbook competition. Specification restrictions imposed by chipset supplier Intel mean netbooks are arguably looked on unfavourably. A main factor being the low resolution screen. This Intel screen restriction certainly meant that the iPad was viewed more favourably further impacting the popularity of netbooks.

RARE Doris Day songs debut on new CD (featuring more recordings from the 'MY HEART' album sessions)
Published: 28 February 2014 (Updated: 1 April 2014)
American reissue label, Real Gone Music, have just released their all-new 'Doris Day' compilation album entitled MUSIC, MOVIES & MEMORIES showcasing an array of rare recordings from the GRAMMY Award-winning songstress. What sets this 'Doris Day' release aside from others is it is comprised of mainly recordings which have never appeared on an album/CD or are recently-discovered gems – spanning the 1940s through to the 1980s.
Without a doubt this release is one of the BIG attractions of Doris Day's 90th birthday celebrations. Why? Well for one thing it offers more "previously unavailable" songs from the star's final recording sessions of 1985. As fans will recall Doris' acclaimed 2011 album 'My Heart' debuted other magical recordings from these sessions which resulted in a global media frenzy and Top 10 hit album in the UK. This compilation now delivers Day's touching folk song about race horse "Wildfire", a pretty rendition of the 1960s pop hit "Everyone s Gone to the Moon" and our personal favourite her jazzy interpretation of Ringo Starr's "Octopus' Garden".
Also featured on this magnificent CD album is a 1947 rendition of the 'Show Boat' musical tune "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, a beautiful 1950s ballad entitled "How Well I Know", a STEREO version of Doris' last-ever film song, "Soft as the Starlight" (from the 1966 film 'The Glass Bottom Boat'), plus a duo of soundtrack selections from her musical 'Young at Heart' and an unreleased live version of darling Doris' multi-million selling signature tune "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)".
The already more-than-generous helping of Doris Day collectibles are further complimented by the inclusion of three stellar performances from Day's 1970s CBS-TV variety specials: "The Way We Were" (Barbra Streisand), a medley that closes with "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)" (Simon & Garfunkel) and the 1930s standard "The Gypsy in My Soul".
MUSIC, MOVIES & MEMORIES also contains a 1960s promotional radio interview where Doris reflects on her multi-faceted talents plus informative liner notes by acclaimed author Tom Santopietro, other photographs & quotes from Doris!

Yizkor, a special memorial prayer for the departed, is recited in the synagogue four times a year, following the Torah reading on the last day of Passover, on the second day of Shavuot, on Shemini Atzeret and on Yom Kippur.
See Yizkor dates in coming years here.
Yizkor, in Hebrew, means "Remember." It is not only the first word of the prayer, it also represents its overall theme. In this prayer, we implore G‑d to remember the souls of our relatives and friends that have passed on.
It is customary for those with both parents alive to leave the synagogue during the Yizkor service. A mourner during the first year remains in the synagogue, but does not recite the Yizkor. Some kindle a 24-hour Yizkor candle (before the holiday).
In addition to reciting Yizkor for one's parents, one may recite Yizkor for any Jew who has passed on, including relatives and friends. When reciting Yizkor for more than one person, repeat the Yizkor paragraph each time, and substitute the words "Aböh Mori" (my father), or " Imi Morösi" (my mother), with the appropriate title, as follows: For a Husband: "Ba-ali." Son: "B'ni." Brother: "Öchi ." Uncle: "Dodi." Grandfather: "Z'kainy" . Wife: " Ishti." Daughter: "Biti." Sister: "Achosi." Aunt: "Dodosi." Grandmother: "Z'ken-ti."
May G‑d remember the soul of my father, my teacher (mention his Hebrew name and that of his mother) who has gone to his [supernal] world, because I will — without obligating myself with a vow — donate charity for his sake. In this merit, may his soul be bound up in the bond of life with the souls of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and with the other righteous men and women who are in Gan Eden; and let us say, Amen.
May G‑d remember the soul of my mother, my teacher (mention her Hebrew name and that of her mother) who has gone to her [supernal] world, because I will - without obligating myself with a vow - donate charity for her sake. In this merit, may her soul be bound up in the bond of life with the souls of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah, and with the other righteous men and women who are in Gan Eden; and let us say, Amen.
May the All-Merciful Father Who dwells in the supernal heights, in His profound compassion, remember with mercy the pious, the upright and the perfect ones, the holy communities who gave their lives for the sanctification of the Divine Name.
They were beloved and pleasant in their lives, and [even] in their death were not parted [from Him]; they were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions to carry out the will of their Maker and the desire of their Creator.
May our G‑d remember them with favor together with the other righteous of the world, and avenge the spilled blood of His servants, as it is written in the Torah of Moses, the man of G‑d: O nations, sing the praises of His people, for He will avenge the blood of His servants, bring retribution upon His foes, and placate His land — His people.
And by Your servants the Prophets it is written as follows: I will cleanse [the nations of their wrongdoings,] but for the [shedding of Jewish] blood I will not cleanse them; the Lord dwells in Zion.
And in the Holy Writings it is said: Why should the nations say, "Where is their G‑d?" Let there be known among the nations, before our eyes, the retribution of the spilled blood of Your servants. And it is said: For the Avenger of bloodshed is mindful of them; He does not forget the cry of the downtrodden. Further it is said: He will render judgment upon the nations, and they will be filled with corpses; He will crush heads over a vast area. He will drink from the stream on the way; therefore [Israel] will hold its head high.

A source of comfort and practical guidance for family and friends, this book will guide you through the difficult times of illness and death, presenting Jewish tradition in a way that is both sensitive and instructive.
If both your parents are still alive you may not even be in the same room as where Yizkor is recited. There are other ways to honor your grandmother. Please see my response below to someone who lost their nephew about honoring a loved one who passed away.
Yes, you may add anyone to Yizkor one you're saying for a parent. You may recite it in English.
Thanks for your timely reply.
I am so sorry to hear this. One may not even be in the same room where Yizkor is recited if their parents are alive. Please see my response below to a similar question with some other suggestion how to honor the memory of someone who has passed away.
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your uncle. One whose parents are alive may not even be in the room where Yizkor is recited. There are many ways we can honor someone who has passed away. Doing good deeds - Mitzvot in their honor perpetuates their memory and helps the soul of the departed in Heaven. One can give charity in their honor, donate Torah books to be studied or prayer books to be used in Synagogue for prayers. I am sure that you can think of other Mitzvot you can do that would be beneficial for his soul. Perhaps there was some Mitzvah that you were considering doing before this occurred? You can now take that up in your uncle's honor.
She may recite Yizkor on the appropriate Holy Days. She may also say Tehillim - Psalms, at any time for the sake of his soul (and hers as well).
If one cannot determine the Hebrew names of the deceased, one may use the secular names. Though Yizkor is recited specifically for Jewish deceased, you can still recite Psalms and give charity in honor of a non-Jew who has passed on. Charity can be given to public not strictly Jewish causes.
Saying Yizkor for a person when you do not know their hebrew name and their parents name I want to say Yizkur for a parents but I do not know their hebrew name nor the hebrew name of the parents. I do not have any family to ask. How do I remember them through Yizkur?
Also, í have an "aunt" who is nonJewish but has done more to mold me than anyone. She would be one I would want to remember more than anyone; is it permittable to say Yizkur for her?
How do I fulfill the obligation of charity? I support Bikers Against Child Abuse (B.A.C.A.), do my contributions to them mães the requiements for charity.
