Mario Andretti Racing School
© Robert Anderson
Ever Wanted To Race? Here's How You're Getting Behind The Wheel Of An F1 Car
Jim Clash
The Mario Andretti Racing Experience, founded in 1999 as CART Driving 101, reaches a milestone this summer: It will celebrate its millionth customer. Bob Lutz, the 44-year-old founder and CEO, says the lucky driver will be given two free surprise sessions on-track and featured on the school's Facebook page and in its newsletter.
Before heading to the school at Charlotte Motor Speedway for some hot laps myself (no, I wasn't the millionth customer), I asked 2014 Indianapolis 500 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay for some driving tips on oval tracks. "Gradually pick up momentum," said the 33-year-old, who races in IndyCar for Andretti Autosport and who is the longest active driver visiting hospitalized children for the Racing for Kids charity. "But don't just stay at the same speed. Continually push a little harder each lap. You'll feel the car can take more through the corner than what you could ever comprehend."
Retired four-time Indy 500 champ Rick Mears, who had raced for Team Penske, was more blunt with his advice. "Stand on it, and turn left," he chuckled.

The 600-horsepower, 1,800-pound cars are pretty close to formula real-deals, and they are capable of real-deal speeds: 180 mph! Inside, your legs squish into the nose of the cockpit. The clutch, brake and throttle are within inches of each other. Good thing you don't really need the first two: because the cars have just one gear — high — you never shift and only use the brakes in pit lane.
Like many racing outfits, a program at the Andretti experience starts with classroom instruction, including videos, then students are belted in to the car for track sessions of five to eight minutes each. The more advanced the program, the more time on the track. A five-point harness belt system, crash helmet equipped with a radio and a hot, bulky driving suit are your protection in case of mishaps.
In all fairness, I had driven at the Andretti experience before. When I ran my laps, though, it was a lead-follow situation — a pro instructor was in a car in front leading me in his draft. When he sped up, so did I, and when he turned left, I did too. But at Charlotte there was to be no lead car, a change Lutz had initiated in 2009. Now a radio spotter, positioned in the grandstands to canvass the whole track, is constantly in contact with drivers via a radio. The idea intrigued me, but added to my anxiety.
Because of the high gear ratio, a rolling start is needed to fire the engine. After my push I popped the clutch, the car shuddered and I was off. It had been eight years since I had been in one of Lutz's cars, and I had never driven at Charlotte, so as Hunter-Reay advised, I took my first laps slow.
But Nick, my spotter, sensed my building confidence and urged me to speed up each lap. Within minutes, I was cruising above 120 mph. A strong air draft began to build around me, forcing my helmet into the headrest. It was distracting but welcomed, helping cool me down in the 90-degree heat and humidity.

Once the car really got to flying, it occasionally hit the rev limiter, a computer chip capping engine revolutions per minute (rpms), and therefore speed. My first sessions were limited to 5,000 rpms, but as I became more comfortable, the staff upped the chip size by increments of 400 rpms.
If you can ever relax out there, it's on the straights. With 10 seconds or so before the next corner, all you need to do is drive in a straight line. The afternoon sun skitters off Charlotte's colored grandstand seats, creating a calming effect. But don't get seduced: The corners are entirely different. Ease the throttle, point the nose of the car toward the white line at the bottom of the track and brace for a jolt as the tires bite into the asphalt and your body is slammed into the right side of the car.
While the machines are built to hug the track, there are limits. Push too hard too fast or run the wrong racing line and the machine won't just slide like your family station wagon. Rather, the slick tires will break loose without warning. "It's never pleasant hitting the wall," Hunter-Reay had warned. "Even with the softer, safer barriers, it's an extremely hard impact — and it hurts."

Earlier this month, Microsoft officially launched Microsoft Dynamics 365 globally. As Microsoft Gold Partners, we have access to the latest product information for Dynamics 365 and in this blog we explore what the product is and the business benefits.
Added Flexibility: with Applications included that fit all types of industries and businesses. You now have the ability to subscribe to applications specific to your business needs, this allows you to grow your business at your own pace and run your entire business from the cloud.
Productive: Dynamics 365 enables seamless productivity by integrating familiar products like Outlook and Excel and surfacing them in the context of business processes, roles and jobs.
Intelligent: Using Cortana and Power BI you can now build intelligence into business processes helping employees and customers discover, analyse and apply data to improve decision-making.
Adaptable: Dynamics 365 enables businesses to increase the speed of their business processes. By using apps integrated within the Dynamics 365 platform, business leaders can change and evolve their processes in real-time using a modern, consistent, extensible platform and not restricted by legacy technology.
With Microsoft Dynamics 365, Microsoft offers one complete platform fostering productivity, intelligence and security, which are the three fundamental elements of their Digital Transformation strategy. Dynamics 365 integrates with Microsoft products such as Office 365, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Intelligence and other third party applications.
What differentiates Microsoft Dynamics 365 as a business platform from respected competitors?
There are several respected business platforms on the market similar to Dynamics 365, that deliver ERP and CRM solutions as well as built in intelligence. However Dynamics 365 offers several advantages when compared to them. We recently explored these in more detail in our useful blog that compares Dynamics 365 to Salesforce and Sage. 1: Integration capabilities with other products Microsoft Dynamics 365 integrates perfectly with Microsoft Azure, Office 365 and SharePoint without purchasing other development tools and languages for the integration. Current Office 365 and/or SharePoint users already have the advantage given their user adaptability level to the Microsoft user interface. Office 365 and SharePoint compliments and strengthens the core benefits of Microsoft Dynamics 365 with their integration, extracting data and patterns from email conversations to actionable tasks and shared documents. You can read more about the specific features in our useful page specifically dedicated to the features of Dynamics 365. We advise current Office 365 and or SharePoint users to explore Microsoft Dynamics 365 before deciding a contract for another business platform. Significant savings are made through development and integration stages of the project and most significantly the data intelligence that can be achieved through the smooth integration of Microsoft products. 2: Customer Data, Compliance and Security via the UK data centres Microsoft have three UK data centres and they offer a backed 99.9% SLA with monthly measurement periods. Businesses who are required to store their data in a specific location, such as within the UK or EU, can rely on Microsoft's expanding network of more than 100+ data centres around the world. Other similar business platforms to Dynamics 365 do not offer this.
You have probably read numerous studies about productivity and multitasking. One of the most prevalent studies is perhaps the 40% productivity loss by switching between business applications while composing a customer email and the experience of an in-between mental block. (American Psychological Association) Microsoft has been reinventing itself for the past two years investing significantly in data centres and product development in the race of Digital Transformation. The mission of "Mobile First. Cloud First" in 2014 has now paved way to The Fourth Industrial Revolution which is The Digital Transformation era, where IT is no longer the definition for Information and Technology but for Innovation and Transformation, in today's demanding consumer environment.
How can Dynamics 365 grow business?
Sales teams often shift between business apps such as CRM, Twitter, LinkedIn and Outlook during their workday, while marketers have various marketing platforms open at once. With Microsoft Dynamics 365, users can view a dashboard reflecting stats from social media channels direct from the marketing module (due for launch 2017) and as Outlook integrates with Dynamics 365 sales people can produce updated quotes direct from Outlook, which ensures the customer is responded to in the quickest time frame possible. As part of digital transformation, many businesses long to have a unified platform for their business apps. Ultimately, for those at board level, imagine how a transformation like this will affect your business and bottom line.

Home Opinion Will Tottenham's champagne football run out of fizz?
Will Tottenham's champagne football run out of fizz?
Tottenham have been praised for their style of football by some of the best managers in the game.
"They've played the best football this season," commented Sir Alex Ferguson. David Moyes said he'd actually pay to watch this current Spurs team play.
We have had some excellent performances. The first half against Fulham springs to mind, while the game at Norwich was probably the most comfortable away performance I've seen as a Spurs fan.
The highlight was the mauling of Liverpool. The giants from Merseyside could not cope with the pace and industry of a Tottenham side who were finding their feet after the wake up call given to them by the two Manchester clubs.
The movement, the passing, the finding of angles and space with the physical attributes that this current team posses are a joy to behold and a blend which has been rarely seen in recent times at The Lane.
The best team we've had since the eighties and arguably the best team since the sixties. The plaudits continue from Fleet Street.
But history has shown the team that play cavalier football usually succumb to the longevity of league football. Pure footballing teams like Newcastle under Keegan and Arsenal in recent seasons, have failed to sustain a title challenge, while more mechanical teams like Arsenal under Graham, Dalglish's Blackburn side and Mouriniho's Chelsea, have ground out results to surpass more entertaining sides.
Obviously you can counter that with teams such as Arsenal and Manchester United, who in the late 90's showed it could be done with a style and panache which was light years ahead of other teams. But even those teams, full of beauty and grace, had a workmanlike mentality and a never-say-die-spirit which brought them Premiership glory.
So the 1-0 wins against inferior teams who 'park the bus' should be embraced with open arms, with the understanding that winning the League will take more than beauty. Do Spurs have it in them to 'win ugly'? Or will this be a familiar tale of a glorious failure?

1st! Sorry, never done that before! Promise it will be the last. COYS.
Bertie January 12, 2012 at 9:02 pm
No, because the players are only playing in the Premier league and not in any cups or European competition so they only have to play 38 games. If they can't manage to play so few games then we need to get rid of them.
DAVSPURS January 12, 2012 at 9:14 pm
The Champagne wont lose its fizz if Harry keeps the cork in and stops doing what he does best flogging the media for all its worth. When you are constantly being asked can you win the league the pressure builds and our players start over playing referees start flashing red cards injuries mount from desperate teams space starts too be squeezed. This is what has happened too City and can happen to us this is what Harry should do aim for the top and we will finish third but start demanding we win the league and we will struggle for fourth.The key is to stop dropping players in form like Defoe we got away with it by Lennon and Ekotto wonder bum assisted shot. This wont happen every week and Ady and Van are firing blanks Ady plays better with Defoe and playing 4411 will lose us games on the run in . We have had the luck with injuries happening too our last three teams Sunderland West Brom and Everton and we have scored four goals and conceded none. We need too improve our attacking or suffer draws or defeats Ady has not scored for three games and Van one since October . The two players who can solve this are Huddlestone and Defoe i hope Harry told him he would play against Wolves. If he hasent his head will be wrecked do this and we can keep our Fizz and make a big bang when its opened. Coys
TonyRich January 12, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Defoe in form? He is scoring some important goals, but I would not consider him in form. Dav mate. You are talking about "solving" something. When we are joint second, with our best record since the double-winning side in 61 – an identical record to Man U after 20 games…..What is there to solve? We have earnt 6 more points than the top two since we lost to City. If this is a problem then MORE PLEASE!
Servando January 12, 2012 at 9:52 pm
I agree with Tony. It is not luck that in the last 18 games we have gained more points then Man U and City.
As far as Defoe, I also believe he is in form. The reason why is that when he comes in it shifts the team which is exactly what a sub is suppose to do. And he has scored, compared to last season he is 100% better.
TonyRich January 12, 2012 at 10:58 pm
…Defoe is better than last season, but not on the form of the start of 2009-10 season.
billy January 12, 2012 at 9:18 pm
How long before davspurs pops up with his drug based bullshite again? We have the energy, the guile, the pace, the power and now the closest ive ever seen to the belief. We are so bloody close it hurts! COYS
We are not the team from last year or the year before. We might have 80% of the same players but we have gained so much more power in every match. No team is perfect and there will always be horrible games that might seen like the end. Perfect examples are our first 2 games against Manchester's. Then again look at Man U and their horrible lost against Man C. Yes they lost but I don't think a lost like that destroyed their chances of winning the title. Look at Madrid. They look unstoppable in la liga and in UEFA put them against Barcelona and don't play like Champions.
This is why I love the premiership. Long tournament and nothing is decided until May.
The key is to win all of the bottom half of the table games. When it comes to games against top 5. They fear us now and should. We will go in as underdogs but a true underdog has no fear of losing, only of not trying hard enough.
Even if they end up in 4th at the end. I believe this has been the best season yet and I will be happy.
One more thing. Harry if you already know you will be leaving us in summer. Don't say a word until then. Anything sooner will be devastating.
Toogs January 12, 2012 at 11:02 pm
I do not agree one bit with davspurs. Defoe on form? We got lucky we had Lennon and Ekotto score. Probably the same sort of fan that says they want spurs to buy Cahill and Nathan Dyer for a title challenge, and probably wanted modric out in the summer. Fickle
This Spurs team is capable of winning the title. Just need one more striker and a young Hoilett in case Lennon and Bale get injured. We have best midfield in Europe behind Barca and Real Madrid. A STRONG defence although injuries hit often, and a decent striker.
Jonny Moffett January 13, 2012 at 11:01 am
With the addition of maybe 1 or 2 players in the window (Hoillet/Remy) I think we will have the squad capable of performing between now and May. Remember the double is still on. 61!

Inaugural flunks education history, limits aspirations
Commentary | By Craig Gurian |
EducationHistoryPolitics
"The true college will ever have one goal — not to earn meat, but to know the end and aim of that life which meat nourishes." — W.E.B. Dubois, as quoted in Andrew Delbanco, "College: What It Was, Is, And Should Be"
Jan. 30, 2013 — As many have noted, President Obama's second inaugural address reflected a deep awareness of critical themes in American history. He touched on the founding principle, still a work in progress, that all men are created equal. He referenced the necessity of fighting a Civil War — the second American Revolution — to purge our nation of the sin of slavery.
Is that all that schools and colleges are for? Purely training grounds for work? Making Americans suitable for prospective employers?
Though he momentarily lost his courage by omitting the crucial role of unions in securing decent wages and working conditions for millions of Americans, he did recite some key lessons of the 20th century: that markets need to be regulated; that a great economy does not spring magically from individual "entrepreneurs" but rather is built on solid infrastructure supported by all of us through our government; and, mindful of the fact that "any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm," that "every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity."
Obama's limited remarks about education, by contrast, offered no uplift, no appeal to the great hopes of generations of Americans that have come before us. His pitch, dredged from the same early-20th century period of industrialization when "we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce," was utilitarian entirely: we need schools and colleges to "train our workers."
One scours the text of the inaugural address in vain for any broader purpose cited by the President. Yes, education, like other matters of public concern, is a collective endeavor, but in the service of having the math and science teachers "we'll need to equip our children for the future." It is, after all, a brutal world out there (that is, a Clinton/Obama there-is-no-alternative-to-unrestrained-globalization world), and the little ones must be made ready. How will we "empower our citizens" to "work harder, learn more, reach higher?" With "skills."
Perhaps the President believes that education can only be sold as a practical commodity. And, indeed, more and more parents and students do view high school and college as training grounds where one can be made more attractive to potential employers.
But there is a rich tradition of American thought stretching back to the early days of the Republic that viewed education in a different way. Education, in this alternative model, was essential for democratic citizenship. That is, only people who were educated would be able to take on their role as active and engaged citizens.
We desperately need to return to the idea of education for citizenship (two essential elements of which are the development of the ability to think critically and the fostering of a sense of historical perspective).
I don't mean to suggest that there was an educational promised land from which we have been expelled. In fact, the implementation of the ideal of education for citizenship — much like the implementation of the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence — stumbled badly, and is still not achieved.
In the early days, for example, the hopes for public schools on the part of founders like Jefferson were disappointed — advocates of small government refused to supply funding adequate to create a robust system of public schools. And many supporters of education for citizenship thought not in terms of universal, equal education, but treated a complete education as the province of an elite who would take their places of prominence in government, business, religion, and the academy.
There was, as well, a substantial list of exclusions based on race, religion, and gender (although, as University of Michigan history Professor Mary Kelley observes in "Learning to Stand and Speak," many women were educated at female academies and seminaries, a set of institutions that both reflected the demand of many women to take on the rights and obligations of citizenship and a crucial means through which women began, in fact, to enter civil society as early as the 1790s).
But from the 1960s into the beginning of the 1980s, a period during which substantial progress was made in sweeping away artificial limitations, it was entirely possible to critique schools and colleges for what they did and didn't do as a matter of education, not for their prowess or weakness in "pre-commerce."
Today, of course, some of our greatest universities seek to grow and brand themselves along the lines of multinational corporations, and, in the dominant view, schools are nothing more than the farm teams of businesses.
We desperately need to return to the idea of education for citizenship (two essential elements of which are the development of the ability to think critically and the fostering of a sense of historical perspective). That idea calls us to a very different place, a more exalted place, than does the President's message of the need to try to get ahead, lest one fall irretrievably behind.
We should be about the task of perfecting a vision of genuinely universal, nuanced civic education — education that enables us, among other things, to discern the difference between one politician's charlatan cries and another's clarion calls.
And perhaps we might even dare to begin to think about education as a sublime process through which we can learn about each other and our world, about the ways we reach and fail to reach others, and about the greatest joys, the deepest sorrows, and the fullest transcendence that are all part of being human.
Don't we want education to be something more like that?
Mr. President: do better.

If you have installed a newer version of Debian GNU / Linux such as Debian Jessie or Debian 9 Stretch or Ubuntu 16 Xenial Xerus either on a server or on a personal Desktop laptop and you want tto execute a number of extra commands next to finalization of system boot just like we GNU / Linux users used to do already for the rest 25+ years you will be surprised that /etc/rc.local is no longer available (file is completely missing!!!).
This kind of behaviour (to avoid use of /etc/rc.local and make the file not present by default right after Linux OS install) was evident across many RedHack (Redhat) distributions such as Fedora and CentOS Linux for the last number of releases and the tendency was to also happen in Debian based distros too as it often does, however there was a possibility on this RPM based distros as well as rest of Linux distros to have the /etc/rc.local manually created to work around the missing file.
But NOoooo, the smart new generation GNU / Linux architects with large brains decided to completely wipe out the execution on Linux boot of /etc/rc.local from finalization stage, SMART isn't it??
For instance If you used to eat certain food for the last 25+ years and they suddenly prohibit you to eat it because they say this is not necessery anymore how would you feel?? Crazy isn't it??
doesn't stone the boot process with minutes, including it will add just 2, 3 seconds extra to boot runtime, so why on earth did you decided to remove it??
So the smart guys who develop Gnu / Linux distros said its time to depreciate /etc/rc.local to prevent the user to be able to execute his set of finalization commands at the end of each booted multiuser runlevel.

In a Web application data migration project, I've come across a situation where I have to copy / transfer 500 Gigabytes of data from Linux server 1 (host A) to Linux server 2 (host B). However the two machines doesn't have direct access to each other (via port 22) for security reasons and hence I cannot use sshfs to mount remotely host dir via ssh and copy files like local ones.
As this is a data migration project its however necessery to migrate the data finding a way … Normal way companies do it is to copy the data to External Hard disk storage and send it via some Country Post services or some employee being send in Data center to attach the SAN to new server where data is being migrated However in my case this was not possible so I had to do it different.
I have access to both servers as they're situated in the same Corporate DMZ network and I can thus access both UNIX machines via SSH.
Thanksfully there is a small SSH protocol + TAR archiver and default UNIX pipe's capabilities hack that makes possible to transfer easy multiple (large) files and directories. The only requirement to use this nice trick is to have SSH client installed on the middle host from which you can access via SSH protocol Server1 (from where data is migrated) and Server2 (where data will be migrated).
Or on CentOS / Fedora / RHEL etc.
completed (with progress bar), current throughput rate, total data transferred, and ETA.
through to its standard output and progress will be shown on standard error.
standard input is copied. This is the same behaviour as cat(1).
Note that with too big file transfers using PV will delay data transfer because everything will have to pass through another 2 pipes, however for file transfers up to few gigabytes its really nice to include it.
jump-host:~$ ssh -R 2200:Linux-server1:22 root@Linux-server2 "rsync -e 'ssh -p 2200' –stats –progress -vaz /directory/to/copy root@localhost:/copy/destination/dir"

Events after the Reporting Period: Reissuing previously issued financial statements
IAS-10
Reissuing previously issued financial statements
ProjectsWork plan for IFRSEvents after the Reporting Period: Reissuing previously issued financial statements
IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period: Reissuing previously issued financial statements
The Interpretation Committee was asked to clarify whether IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period permits only one date of authorisation for issue when a set of financial statements is reissued in connection with an offering document.
The issue arose in jurisdictions in which securities laws and regulatory practices require an entity to reissue its previously issued annual financial statements in connection with an offering document, when the most recently filed interim financial statements reflect matters that are accounted for retrospectively under the applicable accounting standards. In these jurisdictions, securities law and regulatory practices do not require or permit the entity, in its reissued financial statements, to recognise events or transactions that occur between the time the financial statements were first authorised for issued and the time the financial statements are reissued, unless the adjustment is required by national regulation; instead security and regulatory practices require the entity to recognise in its reissued financial statements only those adjustments that would ordinarily be made to the comparatives in the following year's financial statements. These adjustments would include, for example, adjustments for changes in accounting policy that are applied retrospectively, but would not include changes in accounting estimates. This approach is called 'dual dating'. The submitter asked the Interpretations Committee to clarify whether IAS 10 permits only one date of authorisation for issue (ie 'dual dating' is not permitted) when considered within the context of reissuing previously issued financial statements in connection with an offering document.
The Interpretations Committee noted that the scope of IAS 10 is the accounting for, and disclosure of, events after the reporting period and that the objective of this Standard is to prescribe:
when an entity should adjust its financial statements for events after the reporting period; and
the disclosures that an entity should give about the date when the financial statements were authorised for issue and about events after the reporting period.
The Interpretations Committee also noted that financial statements prepared in accordance with IAS 10 should reflect all adjusting and non-adjusting events up to the date that the financial statements were authorised for issue.
The Interpretations Committee noted that IAS 10 does not address the presentation of re-issued financial statements in an offering document when the originally issued financial statements have not been withdrawn, but the re-issued financial statements are provided either as supplementary information or a re-presentation of the original financial statements in an offering document in accordance with regulatory requirements.
On the basis of the above and because the issue arises in multiple jurisdictions, each with particular securities laws and regulations which may dictate the form for re-presentations of financial statements, the Interpretations Committee decided not to add this issue to its agenda.
Stage completed: May 2013
The Interpretation Committee discussed a request of guidance on the accounting implications of applying IAS 10 when financial statements are reissued

The one main problem I had with this story is Batman's whole "I refuse to believe that you're an immortal and that the Stag is a supernatural being that's impossible to permanently kill" schtick. Look, Bruce HATES supernatural crap, but he's not stupid enough to deny it exists. He deals with it on the reg. His whole head-in-the-sand Dana Scully act was seriously out of character, to me.


One of the most innovative features at the annual Glee exhibition, the Retail Lab @ Glee – new for 2017 – has secured backing from a wide range of leading suppliers, who have come on board as 'Preferred Supplier Partner' and 'Selected Supplier Partner' of the Retail Lab's four trend-lead areas. Here, 'Preferred Supplier Partner' Elho's Sales Manager UK & Ireland, David Nicholson tells us more about Elho's plans for the Retail Lab @ Glee.
Can you tell us more about what products you will displaying?
We'll be displaying a selection of Elho's new and best-selling pots. What we've found is that colour is one of the main things that attracts garden centre customers when they're exploring the aisles. We'll be showcasing how retailers can utilise colour to best effect – even if people end up buying more muted tones of pots.
Why did you choose to become a preferred supplier of the Retail Lab @ Glee 2017?
The decision to become a preferred supplier of the Retail Lab was actually very easy. At Elho we're all about bringing nature into people's everyday lives. The four global trends the Retail Lab has identified of Community, Family, 'Re-wilding' and 'Well-being' resonate with our own vision and how we're working both with the trade and also communicating with consumers.
As urbanisation takes over and our access to nature becomes more restricted, we've really noticed a trend towards turning any outdoor space into a garden. Balconies, terraces, vertical spaces are becoming green with easy to fit balcony pots and vertical gardens and drainpipe clickers.
What's also exciting is to see the growth in house plants and pots used as interior accessories. While this has been a trend in Europe for a while, the UK has lagged behind. But we're catching up fast and every garden centre we speak to is increasing their range of interior pots. We invest a lot in understanding colour trends researching everything from fashion to technology. This enables Elho to bring out ranges that are bang on trend every year. We'll be showing these new colours at Glee.
We're also seeing a resurgence in grow-your-own. It's felt that the movement that began stalled slightly in the last few years. It's now picked up apace. And this grow-your-own isn't just for people with allotments or larger gardens. Balcony allotments and window sill growing is an exciting trend which is why we're bringing out a grow house for balcony pots. Our Grow Table continues to do extremely well as it provides space for growing is small gardens, patios and terraces – and people love how it combines design with function.
Garden trade shows are not just about seeing new products, it's about inspiring visitors to change how they do business. To excite them and to reinvigorate their innovation. That's that the Retail Lab will be. Giving people access to innovative new ideas. Bringing trends to live in the retail environment. Inspiring people to do things different and better. Creating a community in the sector. We're really excited to be part of Retail Lab at this year's Glee.

Q: How to tell if Kendo Chart tooltip is currently displayed? I am trying to prevent new data from refreshing my Kendo chart while the user is hovering over a tooltip.
My current solution is to use a $timeout of 5 seconds after the tooltip is drawn inside getTooltip(e) and using a flag to switch between pauseUpdate and !pauseUpdate.
Does Kendo provide a way to track when a tooltip gets shown on the screen and when it gets destroyed?

The Isaan Record
Telling the Stories of Northeast Thailand
40 years on – Northeasterners remember a Bangkok massacre
10/07/2016 Interviews	The Isaan Record
The massacre of protesters at Thammasat University on October 6, 1976, sent shockwaves throughout the entire country. On the 40th anniversary of the incident, four contemporary witnesses from the Northeast recall their memories of that day and the ensuing consequences.
Inthon Saeng-ngamsueng was born in Bo Thong village, in Chaiyaphum's Nong Bua Daeng district in 1951. In the early 1970s, the government planned to build a dam on the Upper Chi river which would have resulted in the displacement of Inthon's village as well as 40 other communities. Many university students came to support the villagers in their fight against the dam's construction. After the October 6 massacre Inthon joined the armed struggle of the Communist Party of Thailand (CPT) and took on the codename "Comrade Sura."
Where were you on that day? How did you learn of what happened?
I was at home. I heard about it on the radio. In my village we already had students staying with us. Some of them followed closely what was happening on the radio.
How did you feel about the violence of that day?
At that time, I felt angry for what was done to the students, asking why they [the perpetrators] did this, and I wondered whether those students who I knew would come back alive? I had once been to Thammasat University as a representative of my subdistrict to organize the movement against the dam, so I could picture where the massacre took place. After the event in Bangkok, state officials began coming to our area to search the houses, looking for [subversive] books. The students who had been living in the village had to escape to the Phu Khiau mountains. Later, a number of students fled from the cities and wanted to join their ranks. So we organized trips to take them up the mountains. Soon after October 6 there was a whole communist base in the Phu Khiau area. It became known as the Work Zone 196, which was the only zone established by students.
If you had been at Thammasat University on that day, what do you think you would have done?
I am not sure. I was close to the students, but what happened was very cruel. I would have wanted to go in there to join the students but those who were staying in my community told me to not budge. Should anything happen, they said, they would certainly flee into the forests.
What does "October 6" mean for you?
"October 6" exposed the extent to which the government would go to protect its own power. It was a very cruel crackdown. And it was done by Thais against their own fellow citizens.
Pol. Capt. Samran Hoitakhu (64) is a former member of the Border Patrol Police in Nong Khai province. Now in retirement, he is proud of his role in the suppression of communism, especially after the Communist Party of Thailand had grown in strength following the influx of students who had fled after October 6, 1976.
Where were you on the day of the massacre?
During the event on October 6, 1976, our superiors [in Bangkok] informed us in an official letter to prepare a mission to take control over the villages in the Dong Mun area in Kalasin Province. My operation team consisted of an infantry of 40-odd officers. The commissioner ordered us to be prepared in every aspect, with munition and everything. There was a meeting to inform us of the situation in Bangkok.
However, when it was time to go, my team was not tasked with arresting and suppressing the people. Rather, we were tasked with using psychological tactics to reach mutual understandings with the people, in order to dissuade them from taking action.
We counseled the villagers to use judgment in listening to the news in order to deter them from joining the Communist terrorists, for example. I remember that police and military officers as well as the security unit would huddle together every evening in order to discuss the situations, assessing how things stand in the area as far as the Communist terrorist movements went.
How did the event on October 6 affect your work in the villages?
We explained the situation to the people in the communities. We summoned the village leaders to a meeting where they learned about the current political situation. Citizens could cooperate with the state authorities; they could comment on the situation through their village representatives, and the information would be transmitted through the chain of command to ensure sustainable and effective solution to the problem.
We did all this because in some areas, the whole village turned Communist and refused to cooperate with the state authorities. These villagers would take shifts to guard the entrances and exits, to make sure that no state authorities infiltrated their village. Whether in uniform or not, state authorities would taken violent actions against villagers, because such violence was what the anti-government Communist terrorists would cite in order to convince more people to join their movement.
Many people were not thinking of committing violence or fighting the state. They were walking the middle path, not leaning towards one side or the other. They would not attack others without a reason, which would lead to violence.
Most clashes back then, I believe, happened along the border, especially during the period when the villagers would go into the forest and turn into Communists under misguidance. In the border village where I was, my conviction was that people still believed in nation, religion, and monarchy. It was a third party, not the villagers themselves, who made decisions. This third party misguided the villagers, claiming that their action who benefit the nation, but it really benefited only themselves.
As far as my role in this went, I was able to understand the common people to some extent. I was able to bring people who had joined the Communist terrorist movement back to supporting the state. It was a contest over the [loyalty] of the masses.
How did you know who was a Communist? Did you every have to resort to violence?
To find out the extent to which people cooperated and understood what the state authorities were doing, it was part of our job to gather information from the people, both openly and undercover. I think I was working for the people. When they ran into trouble, they would come to us to ask for our help—even those who were Communist terrorists would give us the intelligence, telling us in this and that village, who had already turned Communist and who was about to become a Communist, as well as the reason behind their conversion.
The Communist terrorists would give false information to the villagers who they hoped to convert. To attack the government authorities, they would make claims such as: poverty was due to the exploitation by the governing class; there was no justice in society; poor people were being bullied by the state authorities; etc.
I admit that the police actually suppressed people who supported the Communist terrorist movement, but violence was what usually steered people toward the Communist movement.
Bunsong Madkhao, a 66-year-old community organizer with the Alternative Agriculture Network (AAN), joined the CPT in the summer of 1977 when he was about to be conscripted. By that time, he had become well-versed in socialist theory due to the influence of his brother-in-law and uncle-in-law, both local teachers and also leftist community leaders in Yasothon. He heard about the October 6 massacre on state radio, as well as the on the communist movement's radio channel.
How did you hear about the massacre?
We heard about it on the Government Public Relations radio. But we also listened to the Voice of the People of Thailand channel, the radio program of the Communists who organized the rebellion. We listened to both sides, but we thought that the people's side provided more accurate information. In a way, we were already left-leaning, so we listened to that side more. When we heard the news that the students were surrounded and beaten up. It caused us much pain, it was a very emotional time.
What was your memory of the violence of that day?
At that time, the reason the state was going to arrest students was that, from what I remember the catalyst for the chaos was [General ] Thanom [Kittikajorn, the ex-Prime Minister and dictator overthrown in 1973] coming back to the country as a monk. Then they said that those who opposed monks were Communists.
That they were ingrates betraying the nation, religion, king, and democracy. So they used that as a pretense for unleashing force on the protesters. We felt that it was unjust to the common people. After that day, we prepared for whatever would happen, in case that danger might arrive at our doorstep. Because I was living in a "pink" zone where my brother-in-law and uncle-in-law were teachers and active leaders in a teachers' organization at the time.
How was the situation in Yasothon on that day?
There were no arrests. There were villagers who had been bought to become spies, though. There were civil servants on the prowl. So we had to be more careful. We had to destroy meeting minutes, as well as banned leaflets and documents for distribution. Anything that wasn't important we burned up. What was important we hid away, sometimes buried underground. And we were more discreet about meeting other comrades.
What does "October 6" mean to you?
The event destroyed the morale of many fighters for democracy and the revolution. It caused us sadness and grief to see many friends get beaten up, many who fell and died. It resulted in the loss of fighters committed to our ideology.We were weighed down and aggrieved by what happened. We were vengeful, hatred was fuming in our hearts. It was a hot feeling, not just dejection. It pushed us toward armed rebellion.
Before that, we were okay with staying home and organizing our community. But this event pushed me to the decision to really commit, go to the forest, fight, and take revenge.
At the same time, on the other hand, community organizing in villages was still essential. Who would work in those areas if everyone left for the forests? They [movement leaders] wanted people to be there until it became impossible.
Like the university student brutalized and hanged under tamarind tree on that frenzied day in Neal Ulevich's iconic photograph, Prayuth Chumnasiau (64) was a student hailing from Ubon Ratchathani. Unlike him, though, Prayuth survived the massacre and was detained for seven days. With friends falling like leaves, he shedded his student uniform and headed for the forest in Amnat Charoen.
Where were you on that day?
I was there when it happened at Thammasat University. And I was arrested and detained at Bang Khen Police School for seven days. On October 12, the police allowed for bailing. Ramkhamhaeng University, which I was studying at, bailed all of its students out. The conditions were that after the bail, each student had to report themselves at the Special Branch every month. All students arrested and bailed by Ramkhamhaeng University reported themselves and had their profiles recorded. A few days after the bail, I decided to join the armed struggle with the communist movement in the forest.
I traveled there with a couple of friends. We took a bus from Bangkok to the area which today is Amnat Charoen province. Then we took another bus from Amnat Charoen to a village where the comrades in the forest came to pick us up. We carried only a small travel bag filled with some clothes and fabric shoes. Drugs were essential too: fever-lowering and anti-malaria pills. Because during that time I used to go out in rural communities to build schools for them, so what I had with me was what I would carry when going to out there.
What do you remember from the time after October 6, 1976?
According to those I had talked to who were students at the Ubon Ratchathani Teacher College, the majority of those who went into the forests to join the Communist Party had grewn up in the old socialist groups in Ubon Ratchathani city. For example, local politicians who were socialists before October 14, 1973. There were strong leaders at the Teacher College who opposed the dictator Thanom and Praphat.
The armed struggle caused damages to peoples' lives and property in the city. For safety reasons, the armed forces shifted from the city into the forests. The coordination also had to change to mobilize people to join the movement in the forests.
At Phu Sra Dokbua or Zone 444, where I was stationed, there were six more students. These students were from Ramkhamhaeng University, Ubon Teacher College, Ban Somdet Teacher College, and Phetchaburi Teacher College. We were all the same age and all joined after the cruel event of October 6, 1976.
Our working area was Yasothon province, which then was part of Ubon Ratchathani province. All six of us met in the forest, which gave us the chance to exchange our knowledge and beliefs. We all agreed that waging an armed struggle in the cities was not safe for our lives. As students we had been hurt and treated like we were no human. So, we decided to change the battle field from the cities to the forests.
The [state] rulers then were ruthless, and they slaughtered and suppressed the people without any mercy.
We decided to be under the leadership of the Communist Party because they had experience and strategies for the struggle. They provided weapon training for every student.
Like university students in other provinces, I already had a close relationship with the organizing division of the Communist Party. So, we were able to contacted and welcomed by them.
Back then, I remember that after the event on October 6, the universities in Bangkok established an association called Associations of Parents of Missing Students (samakhom luk hai) because their children went into the forests. The parents listed the names of their missing children at the association.
The Communist movement had its own radio station. [After October 6,] the Voices of the People of Thailand released an announcement from the National Student's Center of Thailand (NSCT), which had moved from the city into the forest, declaring that almost 3000 university students were joining the fight of the Communist Party of Thailand.
Students from Isaan were spread out in Khon Kaen province, in the area of Dong Mun in Kalasin province. In Sakon Nakhon province, the Phu Phan area was the center of the Communist movement, which had been operating from there against the government.
Why did you want to join the Communist armed struggle?
After I was arrested at Thammasat University, my friends were shot dead. The police officers commanded us to take off our shirts and crawl on the ground. They hurt us so badly.
The students, including myself, had studied political movements under the social conditions of that time. In class, we read books and studied the principles of organizing movements against the upper class which was exploiting the lower classes.
The students set up a unit to read political books and analyze the political and social situation at that time. A book that was influential for the movement was Chit Phumisak's "The Real Face of Thai Feudalism Today." They also read other books like "The Mother" by Maxim Gorky, "Looking Forward" (lae pai khang na) by Sriburapha, translated books by Che Guevara and a large volume from the Soviet bolsheviks.
After reading, discussing and exchanging they produced posters of Che Guevara and Chit Phumisak. These posters were supposed to encourage other students. The senior students would then take them to rural communities.
They wrote music in the "Songs For Life" genre spreading the ideology of opposing social injustice which was growing in our heart. This encouraged us to go out to the villages and support the farmers or help the laborers in the factories.
We were taking a jab at state power quite a lot. Our utmost hope was that all the suppressed people would be freed.
What does October 6, 1976, mean to you?
I would like to give all the meaning of this day to all of those who fought for the people. The event was a result of the fight to liberate the country and create the new society where equality and justice could exist. The fight on that day was resolute and brave. It was a fight that brought about a big change in the country. It came about through actions aimed at complete change.

Q: Establish remote SSL connection after or before local user connection for SSL wrapper? I'm trying to make a stunnel clone in C# just for fun. The main loop goes something like this (ignore the catch-everything-and-do-nothing try-catches just for now)
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = Validator;
            TcpListener a = new TcpListener (9999);
            a.Start ();
            while (true) {
                Console.Error.WriteLine ("Spinning...");
                try {
                    TcpClient remote = new TcpClient ("XXX.XX.XXX.XXX", 2376);
                    SslStream ssl = new SslStream(remote.GetStream(), false, new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(Validator));
                    ssl.AuthenticateAsClient("mirai.ca");
                    TcpClient user = a.AcceptTcpClient ();
                    new Thread (new ThreadStart(() => {
                        Thread.CurrentThread.IsBackground = true;
                        try{
                            forward(user.GetStream(), ssl); //forward is a blocking function I wrote
                        }catch{}
                    })).Start ();
                } catch {
                    Thread.Sleep (1000);
                }
            }

I found that if I do the remote SSL connection, as I did, before waiting for the user, then when the user connects the SSL is already set up (this is for tunneling HTTP so latency is pretty important). On the other hand, my server closes long-inactive connections, so if no new connection happens in, say, 5 minutes, everything locks up.
What is the best way?
Also, I observe my program generating as much as 200 threads, which of course means that context-switching overhead is pretty big and sometimes results in the whole thing just blocking for seconds, even with just one user tunneling through the program. My forward function goes, in a gist, like
    new Thread(new ThreadStart(()=>in.CopyTo(out))).Start();
    out.CopyTo(in);

of course with lots of error handling to prevent broken connections from holding up forever. This seems to stall a lot though. I can't figure how to use asynchronous methods like BeginRead which should help according to google.

A: For any kind of proxy server (including an stunnel clone), opening the backend connection after you accept the frontend connection is clearly much simpler to implement.
If you pre-open backend connections in anticipation of receiving frontend connections, you can certainly save an RTT (which is good for latency), but you have to deal with the issue you hinted at: the backend will close idle connections. At any time that you receive a frontend connections, you run the risk that the backend connection that you are about to associate with this frontend connection and which has been opened some time ago is too old to use and may be closed by the backend. You will have to manage a pool of currently open backend connections and periodically close and refresh them when they become idle for too long. There is even a race condition where if the backend decided the connection has been idle too long and decides to close it but the proxy server receives a new frontend connection at the same time, the frontend may decide to forward a request through the backend connection while the backend is closing this connection. That means that you must be able to know a priori how long backend connections can be idle for before the backend will close them (you must know what the timeout values that are configured on the backend are set to) so you can give them up just before the backend will decide they are too old.
So in summary: pre-opening backend connections will save an RTT versus opening them only on demand, but it is a lot of work, including subtle connection pool management that it quite tough to implement bug-free. Up to you to judge if the extra complexity is worth it.
By the way, concerning your comment about handling several hundred simultaneous connections, I recommend implementing such an I/O-bound program as a proxy server based around an event loop instead of based around threads. Basically, you use non-blocking sockets and process events in a single thread (e.g. "this socket has new data waiting to be forwarded to the other side") instead of spawning a thread for each connection (which can get expensive both in thread creation and context switches). In order to scale such an event-based model to multiple CPU cores, you can start a small number of parallel threads of processes (more or less one per CPU core) which each handle many hundreds (or thousands) of simultaneous connections.

It's something that's entirely dependent on a person's body as well as personality. Consequently, in that situation, what delivers great results to your neighbor, friend or co-worker may not provide you the same type of results. That's the main reason why you should make sure that you try several weight loss methods until you find the one that works for you and stick to it as long as you can. Occasionally, a combination of various approaches is what delivers the best results. Having said that, here is a list of 10 great ideas that you can use that will help you in a big way to reach your weight goal.
Include Food In Your Diet.
This may sound quite different from what people are used to hearing regarding the issue of dieting, however it's recommended that you include food in your regular diet in order to maximize the results. The reason is that consuming healthy food in fixed quantity is much better than consuming several types of food in limited quantities. When considering healthy foods fruits and vegetables should be at the top of the list, nevertheless you should also consider having meat such as poultry and fish, whole grain products along with dairy.
Evidently, the amount of calories that you take in daily is something that you should pay close attention to, nonetheless by having some of these healthy foods in your diet plan this allows you to consume much more while still be able to reach the same amount of calories. The difference is that you will have to go through a starvation process, which is one of the main reasons that many people quit their diets.
The next reason people abandon their weight loss plans has to do with the fact that they get tired of consuming only fruits and vegetables and have a strong desire toward their old, unhealthy eating habits which comprise fast foods along with sugary snacks. There is no doubt that these types of foods are not good for you and they will contribute to weight gain, however you should not stay away from them in an absolute way, you can indulge in occasionally. This is where moderation comes heavily into play; it's not much of a problem to consume unhealthy food from time to time.
An effective approach that can be implemented in order to make these foods more calorie-efficient is to make of low-fat alternatives by replacing whatever you can. For instance, cheese is found in a number of classic fast foods like pizza or cheeseburgers. With this in mind, you can easily eliminate one or two hundred calories by simply replacing regular cheese with low fat. Another foremost example is fizzy drinks. In that regard, the best way that you can take pleasure in drinking carbonate beverages without adding to your waistline is to drink diet sodas.
Consider drinking a lot of water.
Well, this sounds quite simple and easy to you and it's also self-explanatory. Essentially, you cannot drink water excessively. It should be used as a refreshment when you are thirsty and you should also drink sodas as an occasional self-indulgence. In the event that you want to try something else, milk or tea is the way to go. You should make that as a habit to drink a full glass of water before every meal. This will in turn cause you to feel full and eat less.
Your primary activity should be eating.
We have a dinner table for a very good reason, which is to eat on it. Clearly, not that many individuals do that nowadays. The reason is that it's become very usual for individuals to eat while sitting in front of the television. Well, it's not good thing to do at all. Lot of studies have confirmed that people eat more while engaging in some type of activity that distracts their attention away from what they were supposed to be doing. An excellent example is eating while watching television. The solution to that problem is while eating make ensure that your entire focus is placed on only that. When you do that, you become more aware of the food you eat and are less likely to eat a lot.
TV can be a good friend.
With respect to losing weight, the television can be used in such a way that can be quite helpful as well. Evidently, we usually spend decent amount of time watching TV. In fact, it can play some role in helping you to lose weight when combining it with weight loss required activity, exercise. The great thing in connection with combining both of them is that people don't normally consider it as exercise. If you are not active while seriously, considering working out some day this can have a very positive effect on your body. It doesn't have to be done intensely.
You can get started with 15 to 20 minutes on a daily basis and grow from that point. It's such an easy type of exercise. After learning that, the next time you are watching television along with the commercials, this is the right moment to get up and start walking around the room. If it turns out that, you have a treadmill or a stationary bike in the home, why not doing just a quick 5-10 minutes on these. It's also the right time to become creative: for instance, you start dancing all around the room whenever you hear one of your favorites theme music; at the same if you come to the realization someone or something that causes to become angry or frustrated, then do a little cardio boxing. These types of exercises may not be that significant, but it's the types of little things when applied consistently that will start adding up over a period of time and give genuine results.
In the event that you are kind of reluctant in regard to work out this is another thing to consider. Obviously, the majority of people don't consider walking as exercise, but rather as a necessity. The bottom line is that walking can be very helpful in enabling you to lose some pounds. That being the case, on whatever occasion that you have some free time, it's good to take a nice walk.
If you are both creative and aggressive enough with your vision, you can find more opportunities during the day in which you take a quick walk. Walking on your way to work is one excellent example. However, if that's too far, you can consider parking your car a block away and walk from there. Let's for instance, if you normally take the bus or the subway, consider getting just at least one station early. Ultimately, each additional walk, even if it's not that long, will help you with respect to burning off calories and it may not take you that long to start seeing obvious changes taking place.
Consider sharing with your partner.
Keep in mind that, the weight loss process is quite similar to a long as well as difficult journey. With that being said, just like any other journey, it's less difficult in case you don't have to go through it only by yourself. Therefore, by having, someone (husband, wife, boyfriend, and girlfriend) or it could be a close friend by your side, this will empower you in a big way to persevere and achieve great results much faster.
Additionally, the other benefit of having a partner is that you both can give one another essential moral support. In that case, whenever one is feeling bad as well as depressed and gets to the point through that person is contemplating giving up, the other individual can step in and encourage him to stay on track. On top of that, you two can share your workouts along with your meals. Many individual realize that in such situations they eat less and exercise much more. As a bonus, some extra money can be saved by sharing the two.
Clearly, this one might be quite difficult to apply for some individuals; however, it can really help those who can do it. You make sure that you eat at same time on a daily basis, including the snacks. By doing this, one of the things that will happen is that your body will start getting adjusted to certain schedule and this will then make it less likely for you to experience hunger at odd hours along with snacking needlessly.
We put a great deal of emphasis on junk food, sugary along with salty snacks that we purchase without paying that much attention about that. The problem is that we just eat them because we already bought them since we don't want our money to go to waste. That's the main reason it's imperative that you develop a shopping list before you even leave home and apply it thoroughly. The idea is that by knowing everything that you need beforehand will make it very unlikely for you to spend extra times looking for unnecessary things in the aisles and oftentimes things that will supply our body with unhealthy calories.
Moreover, buying what you only need can also save you some money in the run. Finally, if you perform your grocery shopping at a mall or it could be anywhere similar to a mall, you should try to take advantage of this awesome opportunity by looking through the entire shops prior to buying anything you need. Walking around the mall is an excellent way to take an extra walk.
10. Make use of smaller dinnerware.
It's clear that this tip may sound kind of weird to you, however it has proven to work. By making use of smaller plates, this will give us a tendency to eat more than we really have. To put that in perspective; let's say for instance, you put on a big plate the same amount of food this will then give you a feeling that you have eaten less and cause you to become more inclined to add some extra food. This same analogy also works tremendously on a psychological level, at the same time there is a physical issue attached to it as well: if it turns out that your small plate is already full of food you just have no more room to add some more, even if you wanted to.
You are given 10 tips that you can use in order to lose weight and make necessary adjustments to your lifestyle. By the way, you not are obligated to use all of them, however the more you can apply , the better results you will get down the road. As mentioned above it's best to try different weight loss methods and stick to the one that works the best for you, so the ideal thing that you can do in such situation is to give them all a try and see which ones that you can use continually and which one you can't. From that point, you are free to create your own plan that delivers the best results.
