There couldn't have been a more perfect fit than the Queen of Soul in Kings County last night.
After two Brooklyn performances were canceled last year for medical problems, Aretha Franklin made good on her vow to play a free greatest-hits concert in Coney Island — and more than 10,000 fans packed into the open-air Seaside Concert arena.
The crowd was so large, it overflowed onto the adjoining boardwalk and beach.
Whether the song was soul, gospel, rock or funk, Franklin was stunning. Backed by a large band, she made good on her promise wailing through her classics from "Chain of Fools" and "Freeway of Love" to "R-E-S-P-E-C-T," performing them all with grace and ease.
Franklin was also vivacious on stage. This performance had the same zip of her stellar work in the late '80s. And despite a busted toe, she moved well and sounded like her powerful diva self.
Wearing a purple gown, the Queen also looked trimmer than she has in years — showing no sign of any of the ills that kept her off the concert circuit for most of last year.
To say the 69-year-old soul icon sounded good doesn't even start to describe this performance. Franklin's singing was remarkably nimble. She's still able to get to the top of her three-octave range. She was precise in her huskiness when she reached for bottom notes.
If cheers were the barometer, the show was at its best when Franklin worked her '60s soul songs. She was exceptionally aggressive on the up-tempo numbers, especially her 1968 hit "Think" that was delivered with more rock than Motown accents. Also notable was her latest single, "How Long," played as a sultry, slow-burn ballad.
The prettiest moment was when Franklin sat at the Baby Grand and accompanied herself to the Simon & Garfunkel classic "Bridge Over Troubled Water." Franklin's piano work was bluesy and her vocals had a gospel-rave quality to them that would have made Art and Paul jealous.
In Brooklyn, Aretha got the respect she asked for her most famous song — and a lot of love.

— Della
Winner of the Children's Choice Book Awards' Teen Choice Debut Author Award
Everyone knows Alice slept with two guys at one party. When Healy High star quarterback, Brandon Fitzsimmons, dies in a car crash, it was because he was sexting with Alice. Ask anybody.
Rumor has it Alice Franklin is a slut. It's written all over the "slut stall" in the girls' bathroom: "Alice had sex in exchange for math test answers" and "Alice got an abortion last semester." After Brandon dies, the rumors start to spiral out of control. In this remarkable debut novel, four Healy High students tell all they "know" about Alice--and in doing so reveal their own secrets and motivations, painting a raw look at the realities of teen life. But in this novel from Jennifer Mathieu, exactly what is the truth about Alice? In the end there's only one person to ask: Alice herself.
This title has Common Core connections.
Jennifer Mathieu started writing stories when she was in kindergarten and now teaches English to high school students. She won the Teen Choice Debut Author Award at the Children's Choice Book Awards for her first novel, The Truth About Alice. She is also the author of Devoted and Afterward. She lives in Texas with her husband, son, and dog.

"Swift pace and compact size may entice reluctant readers as well as those interested in a juicy yet thoughtful take on human dynamics." —BCCB

How Welfare Still Discourages Work—And Why That Must Change
OKLAHOMA CITY - November 27, 2019
Experts in the Field See Need for Reform
One Problem a Strong Economy Hasn't Solved
After nine straight months of an unemployment rate below 4%, many assume that everyone who wants a job has one. But as Express Employment Professionals sees on a regular basis, there are still many Americans who would like to work but choose not to-because taking a job would actually harm their financial situation.
Welfare programs in America are structured in such a way that they can create a disincentive to work. Express franchise owners witness this on a regular basis, hearing variations of a similar but unfortunate refrain: "I want to work but having a job would actually mean having less money."
Welfare programs represent a complicated patchwork of federal and state programs with varying qualifications and levels of benefits. But similar effects are witnessed across the country:
Boulder, Colorado: "They can't afford to make too much money or they will lose benefits." -Todd Isaacson, Express franchise owner
Windsor, Connecticut: "Welfare programs provide 'just enough' to incentivize staying in them. It drives people to take 'under the table' jobs instead of 'real jobs.'" ¬-Dwight Hahn, Express franchise owner
Crystal Lake, Illinois: "When an associate takes a job and it doesn't work out, they have to go through the hassle of applying for benefits all over again." -Terri Greeno, Express franchise owner
Wakefield, Massachusetts: "We have associates who can only work 20 hours a week because they will lose their benefits if they work more hours." -John Dickey, Express franchise owner
Fort Worth, Texas: "We can see how the dependency on welfare programs can cause people to have longer than necessary gaps in work history, which in turn makes it even harder to re-enter the workforce." -Jan Riggins, Express franchise general manager
As Express experts explain, this has consequences beyond the financial implications. Work provides vital non-monetary benefits including:
Purpose and confidence that comes from earning a paycheck
Socializing and a sense of belonging
Intellectual stimulation and improved mental health
Satisfaction of making a societal contribution
Dwight Hahn says, work "shows responsibility. It is good for self-worth, as well as mental and physical health. It allows people to contribute to society, provide for their families and give people hope and purpose."
Terri Greeno adds, "Work brings dignity to life. Work gives purpose and meaning. Work builds character. Work improves health and is inversely correlated to depression."
With all of this at stake, what is the solution?
Make welfare benefits "a sliding scale," says Todd Isaacson, "allowing people to work but still get benefits they need."
Jan Riggins agrees.
"I think a decrease in benefits as a stepping stone when re-entering the workforce would be more beneficial than an either/or situation," she said.
Welfare programs provide a vital safety net in modern society, especially when helping Americans facing difficult and unexpected circumstances, according to Bill Stoller, CEO of Express.
"It's hard to blame anyone for making the financial calculation that under the current system they might actually be better off not working," he said. "But we can't stop there. Work is too important and opens too many doors of opportunity for us to leave our fellow Americans trapped outside the workforce. Reform is needed to help people reach their full potential."
If you would like to arrange for an interview with Bill Stoller to discuss this topic, please contact Sheena Karami, Director of Corporate Communications and PR, at (405) 717-5966.

DHS Systems International is the global provider of deployable rapid assembly shelters, widely known as DRASH.
DHS recognizes that soldiers require equipment that is as resilient as they are. Whether in times of peace or in times of war, it is imperative that soldiers have the most functional technology to accommodate their missions. That is why DHS offers a range of products that provide solutions to the toughest problems affecting today's military.
Every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure that the end user has the most reliable and secure technology on the market. It is because of this demonstrated reliability that DRASH products have been an essential element in the US Army's Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS). Under the SICPS, DRASH trailer mounted support systems (TMSS) provide army personnel with high-mobility tactical operation centers that are rapidly deployable for command and control communications on the battlefield.
DRASH has a reputation for its capability to transform a series of products into a total system solution. It does this by integrating shelter, mobility, lighting, heating, cooling, power distribution, and command and control equipment into one package. DRASH is now extending its brand even further to incorporate energy efficient products into its already extensive line of equipment.
DRASH equipment has many applications including but not limited to: command and control centers, medical systems, life support areas, maintenance systems, UAV hangers, satellite support systems, homeland response force systems and mortuary affairs collection points.
DRASH deployable rapid assembly shelters are the epitome of quick and efficient soft-walled technology. All shelters are rapidly deployable and structured with an advanced, highly flexible composite material called Titanite. The shelter's frame is comprised of pairs of Titanite struts that connect at key points in the framework called hubs. These hubs account for rapid deployment, as they enable the entire shelter to be pushed up and out swiftly without additional assembly.
The shelter comes pre-attached with a double layer of Xytex, a high-tech fabric that provides insulation from hot and cold temperatures. The specially coated fabric is fire retardant, water repellant and resistant to mildew, abrasion and ultraviolet rays.
DRASH shelters come in a variety of sizes and divide into separate categories according to their width. Beginning with the smallest C Series shelter at 109ft2 (2.3m wide), and ending with the largest J Series shelter, at 1,250ft2 (116m wide), the range in size accommodates a diversity of client needs. In addition, every shelter is easily connectable to any other shelter regardless of the series or model.
An integral component of the DRASH shelter system is the Utility Support Trailer (UST). A UST is a support system designed to provide mobility, power and/or environmental control for all DRASH shelters. Environmental Control Units (ECU) insure the proper temperature and climate control within a shelter. USTs come in various models, tailoring to the energy needs of every mission.
Depending on the model, a UST comes equipped with a generator and/or ECU, a component of the total system solution that ensures that shelters are operable in all weather conditions. Some trailers incorporate a new energy efficient Intelligent Power Technology (IPT), while other trailers have traditional analog systems. All trailers are operable in rough terrain, and are easily towable by military vehicles.
DRASH Intelligent Power Technology (IPT) is a digital generator system that provides soldiers with the ability to control energy consumption on the battlefield. When IPT is active, it forms a microgrid of networked power that controls every generator underneath it to adjust to changing power demands within a tactical operation center.
IPT recognizes energy inputs and supplies power only where it is necessary, reducing energy waste and overall fuel expenditure. IPT is easy to set up, as it is designed for plug and play capability. The system is transportable and fully equipped to operate in even the toughest terrain. Rigorous testing supports IPT's robust functionality, high mobility and energy efficiency, ensuring that warfighters who choose IPT will operate with secure and reliable equipment.
DRASH Deployable Command and Control Equipment (DC2E) comprises a full line of projector systems, audiovisual switching systems and system accessories, all designed to facilitate information management on the battlefield.
DC2E equipment is portable and lightweight, so setting up and dismantling requires minimal time and few personnel. Screen displays are available in medium, large, and now an extra-large design. Depending on the model, the system may have a front or rear projection.
Audiovisual systems include mini, small, medium and large variants. An intelligent data distribution system, microphone system, clock system, IPT remote monitor and tactical utility field furniture are additional accessories that complete the DC2E line.
Today's military is facing an energy efficiency crisis unlike any before.

One of the top New Year's resolutions is to lose weight. Unfortunately, many people look to fad diets and weight-loss products to achieve their goals quickly. While these may prove effective initially, research shows that many people don't find long-term success with these types of diets.
Instead of setting a goal to lose weight this New Year, set a goal to lead a healthier lifestyle. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Exercise regularly. Aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week and to do strength training exercises of major muscle groups at least twice a week.
Maintain a well-balanced, healthy diet. Try to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein-rich foods and healthy fats.
Make sleep a priority. Try to get at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night.
Practice prevention. Regular checkups may help you stay well now and protect your future health. Discuss with your doctor what screenings and immunizations you may need this year based on your age, gender and family history.
Let's make health and well-being a priority in 2019.

If equipment is set up correctly, it is trouble-free. If it is trouble-free is it easy to forget its name.There is no need to remember something that works on the background. It works differently with interfaces. The interface should be trouble-free and be well-liked by a particular person. The control interface just like the design of your home is selected individually.
The interface is formed in iRidium studio and consists of control items, images, sounds and popups with hide and show effects. You can create a project in horizontal or vertical orientation for your tablet or phone. You can create a turning interface, set up changing its pages by swipe and many other things.
To send commands and display feedback you can use: buttons, levels, triggers, trends, joysticks, animated buttons and levels. You can program not only pressing and releasing the item but also send commands by gestures or in cycles on hold.
Security is provided by the 4-level password system. Some pages should be available only to the house owner, for example, control of his study or boiler room. You can block control – open a screensaver by timeout and then request the password to continue the work.
To save time at interface creation you can use ready items from the editor gallery: icons for all Smart home functions, different styles of ready pages to control AV equipment, links to images from cameras. You can also form your own gallery and use it in your projects.
The built-in tools of iRidium studio are enough to create a beautiful and functional interface. But if you need more, then you can add some functions to your interface with the help of JS programming.
If you do not want to create your interface from scratch, you can use ready interfaces from the web site. Then you do not need to think how to position buttons, what colors match, what font size should be used to sign items, how to set up navigation in the project and etc. There are free and commercial, light and dark, home and office interfaces. You will be able to customize them after the iRidium pro basic course. It is also one of the ways to make a profit off of iRidium pro: anybody can create an interface and place in for selling.
See interfaces of existing projects to get inspired and evaluate capabilities of iRidium pro.
The start page of the Chart interface provides quick access to all rooms from one page. The interface is available for purchase.
Sometimes impossibility to use some equipment because of its incompatibility with other system elements can be the limiting factor.
In iRidium pro equipment is controlled by drivers. A driver is a special program which converts user commands to the protocol of the controlled equipment and enables sending commands to the equipment and getting feedback from it. Drivers are divided to native (built-in) and script (modules).
The database of built-in drivers includes drivers for control of equipment: AMX, Bacnet, KNX, HDL, Crestron, Domintell, Duotecno, Modbus, Global cache, Helvar, Beckhoff ADS, ELCO EP iNels. The list of supported equipment is constantly grows.
The built-in drivers just like the interface are set up in iRidium studio. They are standardized, have detailed documentation and examples. Work with such drivers is easy and fast. For example, channels for control of KNX equipment are added with the help of project import from ETS and channel for control of HDL equipment are added with the help of the scanner. After adding the channels you need to input the settings for connection and the driver is ready for use in your project. Import and scanner functions are also available for Crestron, Modbus, Clipsal, BACnet, Duotecno, Domintell drivers.
iRidium pro has full compatibility with TP4 and TP5 projects for control of AMX equipment — you can download them on the panel directly, without import. Or you can add some additional functions in them in iRidium studio.
Thanks to the partnership with the Global Cache company the integrators have access to the private database of IR commands. It helps to save time on searching for control codes for different TVs, projectors and conditioners as you can add them directly from the database using drag-n-drop.
storing numbers, strings and data arrays in the memory of the control device.
when the i3 pro application comes from background the network is overloaded because of start request of all drivers.
iRidium server serves to overcome these limitations in iRidium pro.
iRidium server WB 6 Zero.
The hardware platform is selected depending on the size of the automation object and required functions. For example, when using iRidium server UMC, the server can receive and send commands via the KNX TP1 interface, serve as a KNX IP router and connect directly to the HDL buspro bus. You can see detailed information about each type of server on the web site, in the "iRidium server" section.
iRidium server controls drivers just like panels but it monitors the system 24/7. After connecting to the server the panels receive statuses of channels/sensors/meters from the server without sending requests to the bus.
Schedules, logic, rules, intellectual gateway function for the server project are created in iRidium studio.
Values of variables are saved in the SQL database. You can save values coming from equipment or create virtual variables and save data from panels and scripts in them. For example, you can store the value of the comfortable temperature the client sets in the control interface.
Output of the saved data is available as a trend on the panel or in the iRidium server web interface.
If there is some emergency iRidium server can send a PUSH notification to the Android or iOS based device with the running i3 pro application, an e-mail or a message to the messenger.
Use of iRidium server does not increase the price of the licenseне — it can be included in the project at any time.
The testing mode is free for all integrators. The Тest Mode license is uploaded automatically after signing in i3 pro or in iRidium server. It enables integrators to set up work of the project and make a well-considered decision before the purchase.
There is also a free 60-days trial period of when the project can be tested by the client.
Commercial licenses are divided by types. Each type supports a particular number of control panels which control the automation object. If the object includes support of the server, then each license type supports a particular number of server tags.
For example, if you have a control project for an apartment on 1 built-in panel and 2 phones of the hosts, then the number of used panels is 3 and the license type to be used is Basic.
The license price is calculated with the help of the online calculator on the website. Besides the license type the price is affected by the drivers used to control the project. For example, a license for control of AV equipment from one panel costs 150 USD. And for control of KNX and AV equipment from 5 panels — 600 USD.
Integrators get discounts on licenses depending on their status: Gold, Silver or Bronze. Integrators with Gold status have 40% discount, with Silver — 33% and with Bronze — 20%. After registration on the web site all integrators automatically get the Bronze status. Then their status changes depending on the sum of purchases they make for the last year.
New iRidium pro integrators have additional bonuses – if they successfully pass the test after online or offline trainings, their status changes to Silver for 3 months. If they buy anything during this period, they get the Silver status for a year. We are interested in integrators who put their knowledge to practice right away so time spent on trainings wouldn't be wasted.
Integrators select iRidium pro both because of flexible interfaces and integration with different protocols.
iRidium pro protects intellectual property of the integrator using the project encrypting function in iRidium studio. The encrypted project cannot be opened and edited in iRidium studio, it can only be started in the i3 pro application. The project in this format can be given to other integrators and clients without being concerned that somebody might use your solution.
In iRidium pro you can refer to any interface or driver parameter with the help of the JS language. It can be used by those integrators who need something more than standard functions to create complex communication logic. But it is an additional feature as none of the necessary settings of fully-functional and beautiful project requires use of scripts.
The free interface in the iOS style has 1 script: to send color to channels controlling the DMX strip. In order to use it you need to enter the channel names from your project.
iRidium pro saves your time on transferring projects to end users via the cloud. There is no need to come to the automation object when you need to update the project. If your client loses his phone, then you just need to download i3 pro on a new device and sign in – all projects will be available for download from any part of the world.
We train integrators to work with iRidium pro on offline and online courses. We have 2-days trainings in Moscow every month and the online course is available at any time you like. There is also a training on scripts which takes place in Moscow. Offline and online courses save the integrator's time both at start and during work – as there are fewer questions to technical support. At that after the courses integrators get an additional bonus if they pass the test successfully – the Silver status. Also, our company has webinars with presentations of Smart homes, new trends of the automation market, etc.
We help to present Smart home with the help of the "Virtual Smart Home" demo project. The project with the virtual apartment run on a PC and the project with the interface to control the apartment runs on a mobile device. The projects communicate through the server running on the PC. When you open a room in the control interface, the same room is opened in the apartment. And you can virtually turn on/off the light, control music, TV and climate.
For 5 years we have been holding the "iRidium Awards" project competition. Any integrator who has iRidium pro in the project or created a control interface can participate in the competition. The winners get prizes: discounts on licenses and Apple devices.
We create new products based on demands of integrators. For example, iRidium lite – with its help you can create a control project directly on the control panel, without using the editor on PC, though there is no possibility of free programming and creating unique interfaces. See more information about iRidium lite in the article "iRidium lite: new "dream app" for home automation professionals" and comparison of iRidium pro and iRidium lite in the end of the article.
iRidium pro is a product for professional integrators who install and program a Smart home and Smart office systems, Home Theaters and any automation systems.
It is used anywhere you need automation coupled with flexible visualization.
Fast setting up of drivers from ready database, creation of drivers for any equipment controlled via TCP, HTTP, RS232, UDP.
iRidium server helps to organize control 24/7, PUSH notifications, schedules, rules, communication between drivers, storing and displaying values.
There are free licenses for integrators to debug projects and for end users to test them. Commercial license are divided into 5 types. Each type supports a particular number of control devices and server tags.
i3 pro has additional features that make things easier for the integrator: project transfer to the end user via the Internet, project encrypting, offline and online trainings, the "Virtual Smart Home" demo project and etc.
P.S. In the article we told you about the main capabilities of iRidium pro. If you are interested, then have a look at 30-minutes"Introduction to iRidium pro" course. You will learn how to start work with iRidium pro, its components and licensing system and the way of the the integrator from registration tо transferring the project to the end user.

For years and years the Mediterranean (France, Spain and Italy) seemed to be the most popular holiday destination for the people in Europe. But slowly there seem to be more and more travelers choosing the northern part of Europe instead of the 'usual southern Europe'. It is actually becoming quite the popular holiday destination nowadays. More and more people seem to discover the beauty, peace and quiet Scandinavia has to offer. Here's our advice: visit the region south of Stockholm in Sweden (Söderköping, Valdemarsvik and Norrköping). In Sweden you'll find a mixture of nature, lakes, seas and old medieval villages, hence: all the ingredients to enjoy a totally different holiday break. A very good meal will be served at Stegeborg, a restaurant and hotel situated by an old ruin (where the most powerful royal families used to meet each other during the medieval ages). You can sit at a candle lit table right by the water: the place is magical when the sun sets. Don't worry about the cold, we know it's no St. Tropez, but they do have nice soft blankets to keep you warm when the temperature drops. Of course you should order the typical Scandinavian food: deer. At Stegeborg they know how to prepare one!


My name is Mr.Uthai Cheummarung email : nammuab@hotmail.com mobile: 0815305654 I am 45 years old, at the age of nine I left my family to live and become a temple boy at Wat Sa Kaew(วัดสระแก้ว อ ป่าโมก จ อ่างทอง) Angthong province. Eventually I became a novice monk and then a full time monk for 10 years, after when I left to gain more experience in life.
I studied very hard to learn to speak English and in 1991 also trained as a tourist guide at Chiang Mai University. I am now a fully qualified english speaking tour guide based in Chiang Mai.
I have worked for a several overseas travel companys and have traveled abroad to Singapore, Nepal, India, United States of America, Laos, Cambodia and Burma.

Q: Measure Remaining Time Left to use Function I want to make a function that references the last time the function was called to ensure that it can only be called at most every 10 seconds:
void SetUseFunctionLastTime()
    {
        std::chrono::system_clock::now();
    }

        bool UseFunction()
        {
            if (/*Code here*/) /*HERE: I want to check the remaining time
                               left before I can call it again*/
            {
                Log("Wait %d seconds to use this", seconds_left)
                return false;
            }

        SetUseFunctionLastTime()
    }

How do you achieve this?

A: Use the - operator to take the time difference:
void SetUseFunctionLastTime()
{
    last_time = std::chrono::system_clock::now();
}

bool UseFunction()
{
    std::chrono::duration<double> diff = std::chrono::system_clock::now() - last_time;
    auto seconds_left = diff.count();
    if (seconds_left < 10)
    {
        Log("Wait %d seconds to use this", seconds_left);
        return false;
    }
    SetUseFunctionLastTime();
}

A: #include <chrono>

bool UseFunction() {
    constexpr std::chrono::duration<double> interval_seconds{ 10.0 };
    static std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::steady_clock> last_call{ std::chrono::steady_clock::now() };
    const auto now = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
    const auto elapsed_time = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::seconds>(now - last_call);
    const auto seconds_left = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::seconds>(interval_seconds - elapsed_time).count();
    if (seconds_left > 0) {
        printf("Wait %lld seconds to use this\n", seconds_left);
        return false;
    }
    else {
        last_call = now;
        printf("Returning true.\n");
        return true;
    }
}

Q: 2 http servers for 2 services crashing in Node.js Bluemix app I'm trying to start 2 http servers with express in Node.js to listen to the requests of 2 Bluemix service. Both are working separately but not together. During deploying the app is being started several times without success. The meaningful part of the log is shown on the image attached.
Thanks for any advise, help!

<script src="//pastebin.com/embed_js/YghQ7eFC"></script>

Image about the log

A: To integrate the previous responses which explain correctly what is happening (two servers binding on the same port), I have to add that even though locally you can have two instances binding on two different custom ports, on Bluemix you cannot have 2 instances running on the same runtime, or even a single instance listening on different ports, because the traffic is routed only on http port 80 (and https 443)
To do this:
- have a container running this two node instances
- have two runtimes

A: The error log shows that the assigned port is currently in use.
Most likely the issues lies in the following code:
...
http.createServer(appDialog).listen(process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 3000);
...
http.createServer(appQA).listen(process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT || 3001);

both will use the port process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT if it is assigned and if so it will cause the error.
Either create a new ENV value or hard fix the ports to different values.

A: Actually I was able to get a workaround for the problem by using only 1 server for both services. It is working now, although not with a fix for 2 http servers working paralelly. I'm not a particular Node.js guru, I don't say this is the only solution for it.
Anyway thanks for the tips!


The 4th North Face Trail run in the series. Another big turnout. This time we are exploring what we called the Butterfly Trail.
About 60 persons came. We started after a short briefing and ran from the Dairy Farm Carpark B into the Beluakar trail of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. A short run in the trail and we were on the road into the dark, mysterious but scenic Butterfly Trail. Not too sure who coined the name. Certainly we didn't spot any butterflies during the run although there was one right at the end.
This was a twisting turning 3km trail. The trail was a bit narrow and it was single file in most area. There were some man-made obstacles for the mountain bikers but these were nothing compared to the many tree roots and overhanging branches. Running in this environment was extremely challenging. One really has to be alert. A slight mistake and ........ unfortunately that was what happened to one of the runner. He fell and twisted his ankle and had to cut short his run but not before having to limp a lonely 3km back. This marks our 2nd casualties of the series so guys, please be more alert and careful.
The Butterfly Trail actually skirts around the upper reach of the Upper Peirce Reservoir and the runners were able to catch glimpse of the beautiful reservoir especially with the mist following the rain of the last few days.
Out of the trail, the group gathered for a photo on the dam. Unfortunately, due to the vast difference in the speed of the various runners, some runners right at the back had to miss the group photoshoot.
See the mist at the background!
The Gangsa trail took the runners along the Bukit Timah Expressway. Most time, we were just running parallel to the expressway. While we can hear the roar of the traffic, we couldn't see any of them. So close and yet so far. Here, the runners encountered all the different type of terrains, from running on lallangs, to clay, to asphalt and dirt! There was upslope, downslope + the usual cyclists to avoid.
At the trail head to Mandai Track 15, we stopped for another group photo before making our way back. By then the sun was out and everybody was feeling the heat and the punishing effect of the uneven terrain. One runner became so dehydrated he was not able to run. Fortunately in the end he managed to walk back the last 5 km, and completed the 15km run, probably the toughest one to date.
With only 2 more runs to go, the routes are going to be more and more challenging. Running in our hot weather is tough enough. Running in the trail in our hot weather is doubly so. The Run Leaders are there to guide the runners but the runners have to take care of themselves. Participants are therefore reminded that they have to be fit to complete the run. This series of run is not suitable for beginner to running. It is meant for runners who have some experience in running, preferably able to run non-stop for at least 15km on the road and want to try out or enjoy the trails. Participants are also reminded that a 10km run in the trails can easily translate into a 2 hours run and therefore it is essential that they bring sufficient liquids especially as there are likely to be no water point along the route. In the event of emergency, while the Run Leaders are equipped with basic first aid kit, it may not be sufficient and help may come late due to the general inaccessibility of the routes from the main traffic roads. So guys, please read the advisory from the TNF and abide by it before proceeding to register for the next run.


There are some things that unite all actor websites: they should be easy to update, scale to multiple platforms, and be unique. No templates! I get it because I'm an actor as well as a designer - I know that it is easy to feel lost in a sea of talent. So while I have my finger on the pulse of what the "industry" wants (video clips!) I care more about what you want - it's gotta feel personal.
Kara wanted a clean site to stand out and show off her many sides: a dynamic and super approachable personality, and a dual career as an actor and model. We worked with colorful and clean headshot outtakes (fully edited for the website) to bring her personality to the forefront and two drop down menus for acting and modeling.
the platform allows me to update the content on my site easily, and as often as I'd like. Over a year after its launch, I still couldn't be happier with the result!
Sam has done an incredible amount of stunning work in film and was very certain of what she wanted: not just another actor site. So we worked to find non-standard (read not a headshot) photos to represent her- all pulled from film stills- and integrated them into a single page parallax scrolling website. By the time you reach the bottom you know her and are impressed.
Elann is a New York based actor who is constantly creating his own work: podcasts, storytelling, karaoke - plus all of the projects he becomes involved in! He wanted a platform to simply and elegantly showcase his many talents and interests so we worked to create a single page portfolio that scrolls through a gradient and highlights his best work. Plus, he has the option of directing prospective collaborators to a single page that highlights a single skill.
Lauriel is a NYC actor born and raised - and wanted an acting page that captured the duality of her work: classical theatre with modern gumption. So we decided to go super simple and strong with black and white images, interactive navigation, a colorful splash page, and some beautiful details to add character.
Zach does it all: music, theater, film... so we kept the design simple and focused on what represented him best: an image with a guitar slung over his shoulder.

Efforts to Restore Sustainable and Resilient Power to Puerto Rico Center on Microgrids
By Mark Feasel
During the summer of 2017, Puerto Rico was hit with a series of storms that challenged the infrastructure, power grid, and mettle of its inhabitants. As of March 7, over 10 percent of electric customers are still without power, according to the US Department of Energy. Mobilization of the first responders and energy providers have helped the Puerto Rican community begin to recover, while also identifying creative solutions to ensure Puerto Rico is better prepared for future weather events.
For Schneider Electric and its partners, recovery efforts in Puerto Rico have centered on three core principles. Firstly, we are committing resources towards delivering solutions that help restore power to those without electricity as quickly as possible through short-term solutions. Secondly, we are working with our local and global strategic alliance partners to help end users be more resilient and less susceptible to future power disruption risks in the future through hardened grid infrastructure and modern microgrid solutions. Finally, we are working with government stakeholders like the Puerto Rico Energy Commission (PREC) to create rules that incentivize microgrid adoption on the island, which will enable more flexible and practical pricing for microgrid development. Though a devastating event for the island, this moment in time is shining a light on the need to upgrade Puerto Rico's outdated infrastructure and create a more secure, flexible, sustainable, and resilient grid.
Prior to the storms, the island was reliant on the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA), its sole provider of electricity which served a population of 3.4 million people. The grid was fragile, expensive, and inefficient; nearly half (46 percent) of its power generation came from expensive oil-fired plants, while only three percent of its power came from solar resources, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. However, the rapidly dropping costs of solar and storage, along with the possibility of natural gas solutions coming to the island, means that larger portions of the load will be served by decentralized microgrids in the future – in both public and private arrangements.
In these urgent times, it is important to provide immediate support to restore power as quickly as possible. In the aftermath of last summer's hurricanes, energy providers have taken action to deliver temporary solutions that help restore power to the communities and businesses which drive the welfare of Puerto Rico. To meet these immediate needs, Schneider Electric brought more than 5 megawatts (MW) of solar power back online by restoring 1,500 photovoltaic (PV) systems using our Distributed Storage Solutions (DSS) and has been supplying equipment across the island to support temporary aid. Although helpful in meeting Puerto Ricans' critical and immediate power needs like cellphone charging, powering cash machines and providing electricity service for health care and first responders, these distributed systems are not the long-term solution for the grid.
Community, critical infrastructure, and industrial microgrids are essential to creating a robust electrical system that will offer the island resilient power during superstorms in the future. To that end, the island has acknowledged the advantages of microgrid installation in order to modernize Puerto Rico's power grid, however, financial and regulatory barriers remain towards putting that into practice.
Forward-looking power solutions like advanced microgrids are needed to prepare Puerto Rico to have power resilience throughout superstorms. Decentralized, grid-independent energy systems would offer more resilient power to the island by allowing providers to anticipate outages and place the systems into "island mode," during which they can operate at or near full capacity. Beyond solar power, microgrids can pull in other distributed power resources (DER) that enable sustainable energy usage, including natural gas, combined heat, and power, hydrogen and biofuels.
When selecting a provider for microgrid installation, it is important for facilities on the island to find a company that can offer an efficient, sustainable and cost-effective power solution in the long-term, since financing remains a major barrier for microgrid adoption, both in Puerto Rico and globally. Facilities that need microgrids often worry about costs and end up delaying such initiatives, but these financing concerns can be addressed through financial models like Microgrid-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Energy-as-a-Service that enable microgrids to be developed with no upfront costs in a public-private partnership arrangement.
Additionally, Puerto Rican companies can benefit from modular, pre-wired solutions that can be easily integrated with their current systems to help operate within and updated its outdated electrical infrastructure.
To address the regulatory concerns, the PREC has recently stepped in to provide oversight of PREPA's plans, spending and rates. The organization has been active in proposing new regulations that would allow for swift and safe microgrid development that would alleviate the burden on the island's antiquated grid. Additionally, companies and energy technology providers are currently working with the PREC to ensure regulation is put in place that is safe and reliable, while also being flexible under current circumstances. Efforts have centered on defining microgrids to determine which types of island mode-enabled grids will be covered with these new regulations, and the PREC is incentivizing the development of microgrids by charging fees to the microgrids that will interconnect with PREPA systems.
We are all working towards a common goal in the wake of Puerto Rico's recovery, and microgrids can help us apply lessons learned in this recovery period to achieve more efficient, sustainable and resilient Puerto Rican power systems. The urgency of Puerto Rico's situation has forced government regulators to acknowledge the importance of proactively and reactively preparing the power grid for resilience, and MaaS financing models are making this possible to achieve through microgrids. By working together with government entities to rework local regulations and incentivize microgrid development, Schneider Electric and its strategic alliance partners are helping Puerto Rico remake its power system to become more efficient, sustainable and resilient in the face of major storms.

Q: Optimizing database inserts java I am relatively new to java and database and therefore asking your help for my code optimization. I have around 20 text files with comma separated values.Each text files has around 10000 lines Based on the the 3rd value in each line, I insert the data into different tables. Each time I check the 3rd value and use different methods to save this data. My code is as follows. Could someone please tell me if this is the proper way to do this operation.
Thanks in advance.

    File dir = new File("C:\\Users\\log");

    con.setAutoCommit(false);

            br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while ((currentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
                List<String> values = Arrays.asList(currentLine.split(","));

                else if(values.get(2).contentEquals("0021"))
                    save0021(values,con);

                    save0089(values,con);
                if(statement!=null)

        statement = connection.prepareStatement(WRITE_DATA);

        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println("Could not save to DB, error: " + e.getMessage());
    }
    return;
}

A: *

*Don't create the database connection in the loop. This is an expensive operation and you should create it only once.

*Don't create the PreparedStatement in the loop. Create it once and reuse it.

*Don't commit after every single INSERT. Read about using batches for inserting. This reduces the "commit-overhead" dramatically if you only make a commit every let's say 200 INSERTs.

A: If this is going to be performance critical I'd suggest a few changes.

*

*Move the connection creation out of the loop, you don't want to be doing that thousands of times.

*Since each function is repeatedly making the same query, you can cache the PreparedStatements, and repeatedly execute them rather than recreating them with each query. This way the database will only need to optimize the query once, and each query will only transmit the data for the query as opposed to the entire query and the data.

A: Just spotted that batch insert was already mentioned but here is a nice tutorial page I came across, I think he explains it quite well

A: Use JDBC Batch INSERT,executeBatch() is faster as insert is made in one shot as a list.

Migdal Claims Division II Arnold Palmer Individual National Champion Award
NORMAN, Okla. – Sam Migdal of Central Missouri claimed the Division II Arnold Palmer Individual National Champion Award for earning medalist honors at the NCAA Championships.
Migdal was hot out of the gate with seven birdies during the opening round, good for 5-under 66 and the tournement lead. He carded three birdies early in his second round but a triple bogey at No. 12 kept him at even par for the day. He was tied for the lead with Ryan Gendron of St. Leo heading into the third and final round of stroke play. Migdal pulled away during the final round with three-straight birdies beginning at No. 4. He carded three more birdies, along with a bogey and double-bogey, to finish at 8-under for the tournament and a three-shot victory.
The victory was Migdal's third off the season.


2.) Reposition the locating hole to match original spacing — doable — isthere any downside?
Truthfully, I think any of those options will work OK, although cutting offand replacing the spring seats obviously is the best option, — it alsoallows you to correct U-joint angles at the same time.
Slotting the holes would be my last choice, since, under extreme conditions,the axle could move on the springs, even though this is probably just atheoretical problem.

News International sites targeted by hackers
Lulzsec's faked Sun website featuring the false story about Rupert Murdoch
Hackers last night (July 18) targeted the Sun's website and put up a false story announcing the death of Rupert Murdoch.
The group behind the attack, Lulzsec, also redirected all traffic to its Twitter feed.
Visitors to the site were greeted by the headline 'Media moguls (sic) body discovered' – a story that alleged Murdoch had 'ingested a large quantity' of radioactive palladium, before 'stumbling into his topiary garden'.
On Twitter, LulzSec also claimed to have hacked into email accounts and began posting what appeared to be passwords to individual email addresses as well as mobile numbers for editorial staff.
People trying to access the Sun website were directed to new-times.co.uk, a News International-owned domain.
The group gloated of their success last night, tweeting: "The Sun's homepage now redirects to the Murdoch death story on the recently-owned New Times website. Can you spell success, gentlemen?"
The hackers did not explicitly say why they hacked the site, but various tweets suggested it was linked to the phone hacking scandal.
It remains to be seen whether this will be the last of the action after the group tweeted: "…expect the lulz to flow in coming days."

An invitation to read. In the beginning was rhetoric, then literature. Since then, fashion, art and literature have fed on commercials, and vice-versa. Does advertising have a language, or is it a language? To what extent is it translatable? Fabio Gasparrini, copywriter and creative director of Horace, talks about how advertising works nowadays, not without some nostalgia over what it meant at its best when it became a new way of translating the needs of mankind, besides those of brands: read his article….

About Our Specialist
Dr. Ulrich Hähnle (PhD, FCS Ortho, Wits; MD, Facharzt for Orthopädie, Berlin) is an orthopaedic surgeon, who is sub-specialized in spinal disorders. He was born in Germany and has lived in South Africa since 1992. He obtained his basic medical degree in Berlin and the larger part of his orthopaedic specialisation at the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits). His spinal expertise was developed during fellowships with Dr J. Craig, Dr L. Nainkin and Prof J. Harms (Langensteinbach/ Germany).
For the last 10 years he has been working in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
For more than 2 decades his main professional focus has been on spinal artificial disc replacement, children and adult spinal deformities (Scoliosis and Kyphosis). In conjunction with Dr Malan de Villiers, Dr. Ulrich Hähnle developed the Kineflex cervical (Neck) and lumbar (lower back) disc prosthesis. Both the cervical and lumbar Kineflex disc prosthesis have been extensively used in Sweden and results have been entered in the "Swedish Spine Registry". The cervical disc is made of Peek and Ceramic and is fully MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) compatible, meaning that the MRI imaging is basically not disturbed by the disc prosthesis. Over the last 20 years Dr Hähnle has travelled to national and international congresses to present results of spinal disc replacement and deformity surgery. He holds multiple national and international patents and has completed a PhD on the subject of disc replacement.
Dr Ulrich Hähnle used to work at Linksfield Hospital, Gauteng from January 2000 until August 2020 and has now located full-time to Blauuwberg Hospital. Appointments at Linksfield Hospital can be arranged for the sessional rooms on request.

Editorial: Signs Are Good For Inexperienced Fiji 7s Side
We're on track to defend the 7s men's rugby gold medal for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.

The Significance Of Constitution Day
Roko Tupou Shares Her Take On Visitor, Vulagi Controversy
After the final teams for the Sydney 7s were announced last Friday, the World Rugby statistics on all participating teams showed encouraging signs that we're on the right path as we build towards the future.
For the Fiji Airways Fijian 7s team, the total number of tournaments (events) played by our current 13 players amounted to 180.
When compared with other participating teams this indicated that we're one of the less experienced sides of the Series. In actual fact we're ranked 11th out of the 16 teams when it comes to experience.
Series leaders South Africa are the most experienced team because their 13 players have played a total of 400 tournaments. They are followed by USA, England and Argentina. See the table below;
With these young guns, Fiji managed to hoist the Cape Town and Hamilton tournaments and is now leading the 2018/19 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series table on a points differential.
This is indeed a positive sign, but we should also bear in mind that having high expectations of our players could actually take its toll.
To win in Hamilton for the second year in a row is a big ask, but whatever outcome the Kalione Nasoko-led side are able to achieve in Sydney today should be accepted in the spirit of good sportsmanship.
But what we should not forget is our support and prayers for the team as they work towards reaching their full potential, by the 2020 Olympics.

Fast, friendly, good customer service. This was my first experience with Honest-1 and it was just an oil change, but I'd definitely go back.
they ran into some hiccups during the repair and had to stay at the shop longer than anticipated, but they went out of their way to try to save me money and explain everything to me. They also drove me home and picked me up when the repair was finished.
Great service and they have a small play area to keep your children happy and occupied while your car is being worked on. Super convenient!
I always take my 2013 Chevy Volt here. Their honesty and genuine desire to help really shine through with their service and recommendations. They'll always give you your options, and even recommend better options if what they are able to do isn't the best. Even still, their honesty makes me want to come back and give them my service, even if it isn't THE best price (even though most times they are the best price). I simply trust them more.
Quick, friendly, and didn't try to sell me a bunch of things.
We like taking our cars to Honest-1 because of their quick service. We also enjoy the staff because of their professionalism while being polite and courteous.
Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I felt like I was treated like an individual and not just someone to move through to get to the next customer.
Everyone is always friendly and working hard to make sure all customers are serviced. I'll keep going back!
Geez fans fast service, very friendly and honest staff.
