Windows Sysinternals is a website that offers technical resources and utilities to manage, diagnose, troubleshoot, and monitor a Microsoft Windows environment. Originally, the Sysinternals website (formerly known as ntinternals) was created in 1996 and was operated by the company Winternals Software LP, which was located in Austin, Texas. It was started by software developers Bryce Cogswell and Mark Russinovich. Microsoft acquired Winternals and its assets on July 18, 2006.

The website featured several freeware tools to administer and monitor computers running Microsoft Windows. The software can now be found at Microsoft. The company also sold data recovery utilities and professional editions of their freeware tools.

Winternals Software LP
Winternals Software LP was founded by Bryce Cogswell and Mark Russinovich, who sparked the 2005 Sony BMG CD copy protection scandal in an October 2005 posting to the Sysinternals blog.

On July 18, 2006, Microsoft Corporation acquired the company and its assets. Russinovich explained that Sysinternals will remain active until Microsoft agrees on a method of distributing the tools provided there. However, NT Locksmith, a Windows password recovery utility, was immediately removed. Most of the source that Sysinternals provided was also removed. Currently, the Sysinternals website is moved to the Windows Sysinternals website and is a part of Microsoft Docs.

In late 2010, Bryce Cogswell retired from Sysinternals.

Products
Windows Sysinternals supplies users with numerous free utilities, most of which are being actively developed by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell, such as Process Explorer, an advanced version of Windows Task Manager, Autoruns, which Windows Sysinternals claims is the most advanced manager of startup applications, RootkitRevealer, a rootkit detection utility, Contig, PageDefrag and a total of 65 other utilities. NTFSDOS, which allowed NTFS volumes to be read by Microsoft's MS-DOS operating system, is now discontinued and is no longer available for download. A larger number of these utilities are nowadays bundled by the publishers for the sake of simpler downloading of all, or most, current versions in the so-called Sysinternals Suite.

Previously available for download was the Winternals Administrator Pak which contained ERD Commander 2005, Remote Recover 3.0, NTFSDOS Professional 5.0, Crash Analyzer Wizard, FileRestore 1.0, Filemon Enterprise Edition 2.0, Regmon Enterprise Edition 2.0, AD Explorer Insight for Active Directory 2.0, and TCP Tools.

On May 18, 2010 Sysinternals released its first new utility since its acquisition by Microsoft. Named RAMMap, it is a diagnostic utility similar to the memory tab of Windows Resource monitor, but more advanced. RAMMap runs only on Windows Vista and later. A system event monitoring tool, Sysmon, was released in 2014, which can collect and publish system events that are helpful for security analysis into the Windows Event Log.

In November 2018, Microsoft confirmed it is porting Sysinternals tools, including ProcDump and ProcMon, to Linux.

Licensing issue with Best Buy
In April 2006, Geek Squad, a tech support company working in cooperation with Best Buy, was accused of using unlicensed versions of the ERD Commander software. Winternals supplied Best Buy with copies of its software so that Best Buy could evaluate the software while conducting contract negotiations for using it on a permanent basis. When contract talks broke down Best Buy did not notify its Geek Squad Agents to stop using the software and discard all copies. A judge granted a restraining order on April 14, requiring that use of all unlicensed software be stopped, and forcing Best Buy to turn over all copies of Winternals software within 20 days. After settlement, a version of the Winternals software was released to be used by Geek Squad.

With a name like The Muttering Muse, all I could think was, "what in the world am I going to find here" when this one came up for review. One quick look at the subtitle, "Decaffeinated coffee is the Devils blend," and I figured this would be a site I could settle in to.
Kestrel authors this WordPress site. Upon first opening the page, the reader sees a beautiful graphic, which is from "A Bacchante" by Arthur Wardle. The graphic also contains a portion of a poem by E. E. Cummings. This blog has a very classy look. The colors are pleasing to the eye and work well with her header. Kestrel has an extensive about page. I always appreciate people who write a personal blog taking the time to really work on their About Me section. It helps the reader gain insight right away into the writer and Kestrel has done a wonderful job. You learn that she has two BA degrees and is working on a Masters in Religious Studies. Check out her full About Me page and you'll see pictures of her beloved dog Oreo as well as some fantastic snapshots she's taken. Kestrel is engaged to be married and she has a count down to the big day in her sidebar.
Along with the standard blog roll, this blogger has several added features in her side bar. Usually lots of clutter annoys me, but Kestrel has some cool applications. As a student myself, I enjoyed her status bars for projects she has to complete this semester. It must be fun for her regular readers to keep up with her progress! She also includes a list of books she's reading, complete with mini-summaries, and her current mood that includes what she's craving and wishing for among other information. Very fun little apps!
A little annoying is the password protection on several entries, such as 3 successive posts discussing an argument with her fiancé and a "real time" Thanksgiving post that I assume she updated during the day. I wouldn't really know though, as I do not have the password. Password protected entries appear throughout the blog archives. It appears Kestrel does this "in the interest of familial harmony," as she explains about the Thanksgiving post. I can only guess that many family members and personal friends read her blog, and she does struggle with that in a post from November 17th. This is all well and good, but it does pose a hassle to the occasional reader. Perhaps a more private, intimate blog written separately might be in order to solve her dilema.
Kestrel writes about anything that seems to come to mind. Her style is light and conversational. She posts everything from the occasional favorite recipes (I copied down Pasta & Vegetables Au Gratin – thanks!), to examples of her own digital artwork and even her choice of birth control. Nothing, it seems is off limits for Kestrel. As expected, there are posts about the wedding planning and even Kestrel's thoughts on current events.
The Archives start in April 2004, however there is only one post to be found there. Kestrel advises that it was posted on her previous blog. It's an entry about "The Passion of the Christ" and the issues surrounding that film. The archives do not start up again until August when the writer began using WordPress. If the "Passion" post is one she feels is important, perhaps it deserves it's own special place on her sidebar.
Overall, The Muttering Muse is an entertaining site. Kestrel posts often enough to keep her regular readers coming back again and again, as evidenced by her frequent commenters. I would have scored her higher were it not for the password thing. I'm sure I would have been provided one, had I sent email to request it, but quite frankly I'm supposed to review what I see. This writer's variety of content and interesting sidebar apps make this blog an interesting read. You'll just want to ask for the password to get the full Muttering Muse experience.
Filegirl is written by Kristine, and is mainly centered on her home and family life. My initial impression was that the blog wouldn't particularly interest me, but upon diving into the archives, I found myself enjoying it more and more.
Most posts have an illustration, a photo, a little extra something to enhance the experience. I became curiously interested to know how her daughter's brace settled, the effect of the April Fool's pranks, and why her mashed potato was green.
The site is quite a "girl-ish" design, but Kristine has obviously put a lot of effort into it – surf the archives, the posts all run in such a way that you're not reading from bottom to top, and each background is different. It's appealing.
I was definitely surprised I enjoyed this blog so much ; if you'd said "very personal blog" I'd have thought, oh dear, more "what I had for lunch" type posts, and that definitely shows how wrong the descriptions can be. Don't judge this blog by it's cover! It is interesting, and gives the reader an excellent view into one persons world.
The initial impression of this blog was a good one for me. I liked the layout. It was easy to understand, the colours meshed well and didn't give me a headache! I enjoyed the picture of the filing cabnets with the bird sticking out of one. I thought to myself that this might just be an interesting blog.
Kristine didn't let me down. I enjoyed her posts, getting to her archives was easy, although I didn't like the bit where you had to go to the main page to read another months archive. Kristine mainly writes about her life. It's a blog based around her husband, child & her obsession with Victorian/Gothic style houses.
Her writing style isn't hard to follow. The various links all work, there isn't many links cluttering the page either. She has some pictures thrown in which I found to be a nice touch. She made me laugh with some of her posts, the halloween trick or treating put down probably my favourite.
The general gist of Kristine's blog is personal. She writes about her life, her quirks & with the pictures thrown in, I found it entertaining.
This is Sara… a student, music lover and reviewer, cat lover, wry observer, and generally an all around renaissance lady. She has much to comment on in life, and enjoys doing so. She knows much about a myriad of things!
Sara has been blogging since early in 2002, and is a prolific and entertaining writer. She adds photos and links in an easily followed logical progression, and has a wry sense of humor both in her own words, and her choices of funny bits that she gleans from different sources. She is an honest and ernest reviewer of many types of music, and I'll agree that although she willingly shares many personal insights, her reviews are often the main focus of her writing. I could easily see her as a valued addition to any music review venue, as her honest ears and eloquent words give 'good review'… even if she (or we) don't exactly agree with the style.
Her blog is a fairly standard templete done in an uncluttered, easy on the eyes style. The coordinated shades of green were a pretty, undistracting way to showcase her writings and photos. All her links worked easily and were quite self explanatory. She has plans to write a novel for the National Novel Writers Month in November, and I'll be interested in what out of her large repetoire she chooses to fictionalize.
I enjoyed getting to know her through her years of growing and experiencing. I'm betting she's a very nice person, sharp and quietly humorous.
Dozer's Blog of Life and Other Observations is a clean looking blog based on the thisaway blue blogger template. It has the typical blog assortment of links, camera pics, a mood updater and guestbook.
The blog was started by Dozer in January of this year and by the end of January, Dozer had decided he wasn't in the mood for blogging. After a the blog had a two month hiatus Dozer seems to be posting regularly. Dozer works (and works and works and works) at the Tachoma dome and often talks about how work was, such as 'dealing with the usual stuff (drunks driving, people trying to flyer the cars, etc.)' and missing a lot sleep it seems (sometimes working 13 days in a row or ridiculously long shifts…) Certainly many of us can relate to the job that overworked us into oblivion.
The blog content reveals a bit about the author who seems to be a sensible, over worked guy who occasionally has some insightful thing to say. There are a lot of Quizilla quizzes, links to web content translators (as found in the Fo' Shizzle entry), observations about the importance of sleep, drunks at baseball games, evil iFriends pop-ups (and really, which pop-up isn't evil?) and the typical daily reflection of the days events. The more introspective comments, usually noted as 'On A Personal Note:' contain the best content in this blog. Dozer has also started a blog where he focuses on Movie and DVD reviews. It was great to see a link to the Firefox browser, but ironically when I tried loading the site in Firefox it got stuck and didn't load completely – it got stuck on htmlgear.tripod.com.
A fairly typical blog. Some good stuff, lots of links and another take on life. I think it would be great to see more personal and insightful content from Dozer. The blog has a great start and the author has shown intent to improve it further. Check it out.

The New Mr Darcy (Nov 2005)
The New Mr. Darcy
by Evan Henerson (LA Daily News, 25 november 2005)
Matthew Macfadyen takes a bow in latest film adaptation
By Evan Henerson, Staff Writer
Lizzie Bennet has been inspiring universal "You go, girl!" encouragement from women of all ages for going on 200 years, but it's the filthy-rich, handsome and misunderstood Mr. Darcy who frequently leaves those same women fluttering their handkerchiefs.
Film and TV adaptations of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" have boasted a formidable lineup of past Darcys. And good things seem to happen to the actors tapped to play the lord of the manor. Provided, that is, that they can eclipse the image of the last guy who played the lord of the manor.
The collar of Laurence Olivier, who took on Darcy to Greer Garson's Lizzie in the 1940 film, has long been a tough one to out-starch. But a shirtless Colin Firth in the 1995 BBC miniseries was enough to make author Helen Fielding write the performance into her "Bridget Jones' Diaries," which led to Firth playing the modern equivalent of Darcy in the two "Bridget Jones" movies.
Current "P&P" director Joe Wright hadn't seen either Olivier or Firth in the role. He cast Matthew Macfadyen purely because he felt there could be nobody better for the part.
"I met some film stars and I considered them, but in the end I came back to Matthew," says Wright who pairs Macfadyen opposite the Lizzie of Keira Knightley.
"Matthew was the right age" - 29 at shooting - "and he's a big, proper, manly man. I didn't want a little pretty boy, and I knew he wouldn't come to the role with any vanity. He would come to the role as an actor in search of a character."
"I was kind of aware of this whole Darcy thing," returns Macfadyen who, like Wright, had not seen earlier versions of the character when he took the role. "I couldn't worry too much about trying to be different. But I was aware of the place that 'Pride and Prejudice' holds in the UK,how it's very proprietary among ladies of a certain age. I kind of just jumped in."
Proprietary? You might say. A Jane Austen Mafia may not actually exist, but Macfadyen quickly got the sense that if this "P&P" went wrong, he'd incur the wrath of the Austen faithful.
"Joe has had this as well. It does feel like this undercurrent of, 'Don't (expletive) this up otherwise we'll find you and kill you,' " he says. "If you started worrying about that, you'd just be paralyzed with fear."
Darcy, as Austen readers and watchers well know, initially appears as a bit of a cold fish. Arrogant, dismissive and every bit a snob, he delivers one of literature's great demeaning marriage proposals to Lizzie, only to be rejected. He later proves to be something much different.
Any actor who plays the character figures to face the inevitable questions about tapping his own inner Darcy to make the performance believable.
Can Macfadyen relate to being rich and above it all?
"I'm sure I recognize Darcy in myself," he says. "I'm very sort of relaxed and laid back to the point of coldness, when inside I'm (expletive) myself to give the appearance of calm. I like that image of the shy boy at a popular event who is terrified of saying the wrong thing, terrified of being foolish."
And collaborating with Knightley? "Delightful to work with. Easy-peasy," says Macfadyen. "She's a proper actress, but she makes me feel old, and I'm only 30."
A well-established face on the London stage, Macfadyen trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts before performing with England's Cheek by Jowl and the Royal Shakespeare Company. He played Prince Hal in parts 1 and 2 of Shakespeare's "Henry IV" for National Theatre artistic director Nicholas Hytner.
Macfadyen, who is married to fellow "Spooks" star Keeley Hawes, performed in plays throughout his schooling. His mother and grandfather were both amateur theater directors, and Macfadyen just sort of took to the footlights.
"I'm just happiest when I'm doing it," he says. "I secretly applied to drama school my last year, and to my amazement, I won a place at RADA. I had found my audience."

Well, I had a bad day, so I decided on short notice that I really wanted the activity and social interaction of going to class. So I went, and came away grinning like an idiot--without fail I always leave class feeling better, and it's rare that I'm not smiling and/or laughing. I decided yesterday I wanted to start going at least 3 times a week, and it looks like it will be five this week, if I can stand it: tomorrow is weapons night, which is fun, and Friday we have time to train after class (we share the space with two other activities and we have to take the mats up, which is inconvenient but not really a big deal), and then Saturday we have a black belt from another dojo, and it'd be nice to show up and be supportive, as well as getting out of bed before noon. If I can manage all that, I suspect that on Saturday afternoon I will be in a deep Zen state induced by unthinkable loads of endorphins.
Now, of course, having exercised and then socialized at dinner, it's 0130 on Thursday and I can't sleep. I tried, I'm tired, I would like to be asleep, but it's not happening. And I've got aikido on the brain, my mind is racing with all the stuff I've been learning, even the things I can't remember the Japanese for (Sensei's been prepping us for the 6th kyu test, so I've mostly been doing the same four or five moves that we get tested on, but I've gotten to do a couple more advanced things). Training has affected the way I move, the way I get up from sitting or lying down, and the way my body feels, as I stretch out and work my muscles regularly. I can roll smoothly on my lower back, aided by the return of my abdominal muscles, which also allow me to roll on my back from a sitting position to get my legs up in the air unaided. I'm steadily dropping weight, which helps me stretch more (I can get my knees closer to my forehead with smaller rolls of fat in the way), which helps use muscles more effectively. I can feel the whole practice soaking in, like feeling the cold seep in when icing something (like my ankle, which I twisted last night). If I fall or roll onto my side, I hold my body and my legs as I would for an aikido fall. And slowly I'm starting to move more from my center, my hara, a point some inches below your navel which is sort of center-of-gravity related but is primarily a source of energy; I think it's a chakra, but all martial arts that I know of have in common that you move from your hara, that your actions begin and continue from there. If I'm not moving from my center I'm usually at least aware that I should be.
I can also talk about this interminably. I have aikido on the brain. It's like I've found a really fulfilling and wholesome cult. Except that it's not very cultlike, and I wouldn't recommend it to everyone--it's got a sort of "warm and fuzzy" aspect to it as martial arts, but it's still a martial art and if you're not up to falling on the floor and being put in joint locks a lot, it won't be any fun. I'm discovering for myself the joys of being 25, which, aside from my body being thicker and more sturdy, involves not being quite as resilient as I was at, say, 18, or even 21. I was warned about this repeatedly (apparently there are more surprises in store when I hit 30); the warnings are futile not only because we young folk still tend to have a vestige of immortality-think in us, but also, really, what the hell am I supposed to do about it? Stretch well, ice things if they need it, don't ignore stuff that hurts. But that's about it: we're doomed to growing older and our bodies breaking down to some degree. DOOMED, I tell you.
Made some progress on the taxes thanks to TurboTax; 90% sure the federal government owes me money, which would be helpful. No luck on the job front so far, but if you need a software engineer, please pass my resume around.

Q: jwplayer angular directive I am trying to create an angular directive that will update the url provided to a jwplayer when the element playlist-url is changed. I know/checked that when the scope(scope.tvUrl) changes in my controller that the el attribure playlist-url changes, so I know the problem is not in this part of the code.
<div pip-player playlist-url='{{tvUrl}}' channel-logo='{{channelLogo}}' id="pip-player"></div>

It is in my directive, the first console.log('ppTv hit') logs out but nothing runs in the link function, I thought that I am instantiating link in the 'return directive' part but I do not think that is the case. any help with the link part would be great or any suggestion with a different approach(using jwplayer as service instead) would be great. Thanks for the help!
(function(){
   'use strict';
     angular
    .module('app')
    .directive('pipPlayer', ppTv);

    function ppTv() {
        console.log('ppYv hit')
        var directive = {
             link: link,
             restrict: 'E',
             transclude: false,
             scope: {
                 playlistUrl: '@playlistUrl',
                 channelLogo: '@channelLogo',
             }
        }

        return directive;

        function link(scope, element, attrs) {
            console.log('jwplayer is starting')

            jwplayer('pip-player').setup({
                width: '100%',
                height: 360,
                file: scope.playlistUrl,
                image: scope.channelLogo,
                //file: "http://yipcontent-lh.akamaihd.net/i/cincomas_1@395143/master.m3u8?hdnts=exp…%7Ehmac%3D82c581395560a25c69b4beb3f679bb65645c644d4a2f1ac1682e89821325aa74",
                //image: scope.channelLogo,
                primary: 'flash',
                autostart: true,
                fallback: true,
                androidhls: true,
                type: 'hls'
            });

        scope.$watch(attrs.pipPlayer, function(value) {
            format = value;
            updateChannel();
        });

    }
}

})();

A: So after some refactoring an understanding link better I found a solution.
jwDirective.js
(function() {
angular
    .module('app')
    .directive('pipScreen', ppTv);

function ppTv() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        scope: {
            playlistUrl: '@playurl'
        },
        link: function (scope, element, attributes) {
            attributes.$observe('playurl', function(value) {
                jwplayer('pip-screen').setup({
                    file: value,
                    image: '@channelLogo',
                    primary: 'flash',
                    autostart: true,
                    fallback: true,
                    androidhls: true,
                    type: 'hls'
                });

            })

        }
    };
}
})()

Situated in the private Manyeleti Game Reserve, Tintswalo Safari Lodge, has unveiled a brand-new spa, solely for guests staying at the lodge. The Bush Willow Spa has been totally rebuilt and is a great spot for those in search of whole relaxation amidst the soothing sounds and refreshing scents of the African wilderness.
The Bush Willow Spa is a luxurious bushveld retreat, with large windows and doorways opening onto a wooden deck, surrounded by nature only. The spa's philosophy centers around the traditional healing power of trees – and with more than 336 species, including some Baobabs that are estimated to be over 4,000 years old, the Kruger region presents a veritable Garden of Eden.
Many trees and shrubs have medicinal properties that have been used for hundreds of years by African communities – and are still being utilised by traditional healers today to treat a variety of disorders. Surrounded by the natural power of trees of the wilderness, spa visitors will walk away from their treatments with mind, body and spirit restored and rejuvenated.
The spa comprises two single treatment rooms – separated by a sliding door, these can also be turned into a dual treatment room for couples. A Hydrobath, located on a wooden deck out in the open bush, makes for a unique spa experience, allowing guests to become one with nature.
The two-seater bath offers a wonderfully romantic treatment for couples and is best enjoyed as a signature 'Hydrotherapy Session', or as an added extra for Honeymooners booked in for a spa lunch on the deck.
Based on the ancient knowledge that water has healing and cleansing benefits, the jet bath works on stimulating circulation and lymphatic flow, while also helping the body to detox. The 20-minute session is a great addition to any of the spa's body treatments – especially used in conjunction with African bath salts and essential oils.
After their bath, couples may relax on two loungers next to the tub while sipping chilled champagne and taking in the extraordinary scenery.
The range of eco-friendly products used at the spa has been developed by Africology. The South African fair trade brand uses the healing essences of indigenous plants such as the Marula fruit, African Potato and Rooibos, all scented with the heavenly aromas of natural essential oils to calm the senses and offer a truly luxurious pampering experience.
Bush Willow's therapists are of Shangaan descent, from the local community, who have been chosen for their skills and expertise, and receive continuous training from Africology to ensure the very best results.
The new spa offers a further range of relaxing and invigorating signature treatments including Intonga Stick Massage, Soul of Africa Massage, Rooibos & Lavender Clay Body Wrap, and African Goddess Anti-Ageing Facial.


next several weeks. The reaction?
With most redesigns, there's the good, bad, and sometimes the ugly. Unlike, say, Digg, which was pummeled by users following its recent redesign, Twitter's new design is unlikely to spark revolt. But that doesn't mean that it isn't bold. It is, albeit in more subtle ways that reflect Twitter's belief that it provides a "consumption environment".
Here's a breakdown of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
More multimedia. 25% of Twitter's more than 90m tweets per day contain links, and a lot of those links lead to multimedia content. The new Twitter makes it far easier to view tweets that link to photos and videos, as multimedia content from popular sites such as YouTube, Flickr and TwitPic is now embedded on Twitter itself.
More context. The new detail pane does more than display multimedia content. Twitter is using it to display related tweets, mini profiles and maps. The pane adds some much-needed context to 140 character tweets.
It's intuitive. From the looks of the video demonstrating some of Twitter 2.0's new features, Twitter has managed to create a genuinely intuitive web-based interface. In addition to the new interface features supporting the display of multimedia and contextual information, Twitter has added an infinite scroll making it possible to view the Twitter timeline without having to click "more" again and again.
It's less simple. Twitter's simplicity is arguably one of the big reasons it's so popular. The new Twitter may be intuitive and well thought-out, but it's not the simple Twitter that many have come to know and love. That may upset some users.
More spam. The new details pane could for obvious reasons be an attractive feature to spammers. And if they start taking advantage of it, it will be bad news for the quality of the overall Twitter experience.
Twitter still can't compete with desktop clients. In my opinion, Twitter's needs as a business require it to exert greater control over how individuals and businesses interact with its services. By creating a more compelling experience on Twitter.com, Twitter is trying to do exactly that. But even so, the new Twitter won't bring third party desktop client users back, and it may not keep Twitter.com users from moving to a desktop client as their use grows.
Twitter is still Twitter. Say the word 'Twitter' and you're likely to get a smile or a roll of the eyes. Love it or hate it, Twitter is an inherently limited service. While a company like Facebook has rapdily evolved and taken big risks, Twitter really hasn't. Perhaps that's not a bad thing, but it's still nice to think that there's something more to Twitter that's just waiting to be revealed. This redesign won't reveal it.
Should retailers accept cash payments online?
Providing alternative payment options can be a useful tactic for online retailers to appeal to as many buyers as possible, and many now offer PayPal along with credit and debit card payments.
For some retailers looking to cater for as many shoppers as possible, there is also the option of cash payments. Is this a tactic worth pursuing for online retailers?
With a well-known brand and a high street presence, BHS has the potential do well online, both in terms of web sales, and in driving sales into stores. After all, other multichannel rivals such as Debenhams and House of Fraser have been using their high street presence to increase their multichannel revenues.

Korbin Sims Greets Former Team-Mate Willie Mason by Grabbing Him in the Crotch
Sean Swaby@seanswabyTwitter LogoUK Staff WriterMay 10, 2015
Korbin Sims picked a rather unique way of saying hello to his former team-mate, Willie Mason.
He grabbed him in the crotch.
Mason, now of Manly, was greeted by Newcastle's Sims with a pinch to his genital region.
The two of them both played for Newcastle from 2012-14.
While most wouldn't take kindly to such a handshake alternative, Mason took the whole thing in perfect stride.
Mason explained the whole situation to the Guardian.
Offended? Please—I think it's hilarious. I hope he doesn't (get charged for the incident) because me and Korbin are really good mates and I think it was unlucky because of the timing of it all.
I knew what he was doing. I was talking to him as he was doing it. I didn't even flinch.
It was quite funny to me. He's just a good young kid and I would hope that nothing is done because of it.
It's just two good team-mates from the last three years having a good old...just having a good reacquaintance.
[NZAUTV Rugby League, The Guardian]


There are a lot of generalities when it comes to different aspects of business management. The 80/20 rule can certainly be considered one of those generalities. The basic logic behind the 80/20 rule states that 80% of the final result is created by 20% of the action. This article looks at this often overlooked principle of business management and how it can be applied to inventory, revenue and customer relations.
An Italian economist by the name of Vilfredo Pareto is given credit for first conceiving the 80/20 rule. In fact it's some times know as the Pareto Principle. In the early 20th century, Pareto first observed that 20% of the Italian population owned 80% of the property in Italy. Besides business economics, the Pareto Principle has been used for many different applications.
Naturally in the reverse order, 80% of the inventory only accounts for 20% of the sales. Applying the rule to inventory control means that a company should have ample supply of inventory for those products that generate the majority of the revenue. On the flip side, the majority of the inventory (that generates 20% revenue) should be closely monitored to keep idle inventory to a minimum.
Understanding the company's target market is an important marketing tool for revenue generation. Being able to pinpoint and concentrate marketing efforts can have a major affect on profitability. First, being able to focus marketing efforts will help to increase sales. Secondly it can reduce expenses associated with advertising and promotions because of marketing efficiencies. Here's the basic rule for marketing strategies.
The Pareto Principle, as it applies to business management strategies, is a reminder that there are two sides to every coin. When it comes to inventory control, it's important to look at what's actually driving sales. Looking at marketing strategies, the focus should be on the majority of the target market. With customer retention, the other side of the coin is that a small majority of customers is the largest majority of a manager's headaches.

Q: Is there any way to implement both kfold (n_splits) and early_stopping_rounds in XGBoost GridSearchCV? I'm trying to implement early_stopping_rounds in a cross validation XGBoost model but when I specify early_stopping_rounds in the fit method it seems to not use the default cv = 5 (correct me if I'm wrong but my guess is that with cross-validation splits it uses the full specified number of n_estimators instead of going from 1 and up like with early_stopping_rounds). Not only that but I also have to split the data into an eval set for early_stopping_rounds to work but I don't have to do that for that if I'm using just kfold cv. Essentially my question is if there is a way to use just cross-validation splits with the full dataset and implement early_stopping_rounds at the same time. The reason is that I can speed up training with early_stopping_rounds and I don't have to tune the n_estimators hyperparameter. One way I think that it might work is if I use early_stopping_rounds with a train/test dataset but then apply kfold spilt on the best n_estimators of that set of hyperparameters with the full dataset, then use the score of the kfold split when evaluating the best set of hypers. That way I can quickly tune for the best number of trees for each set hyperparameters as well as get a less biased estimate when it comes to evaluation.
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV

regressor=xg.XGBRegressor(objective = 'reg:squarederror', seed = 123, n_estimators = 500)
kfold = sklearn.model_selection.StratifiedKFold(n_splits=5, shuffle=True, random_state=7)

parameters = {
    'max_depth': range(2, 10, 1),
    'learning_rate': list(map(lambda x: x/100.0, range(1, 50, 1))),

}

search = GridSearchCV(regressor, parameters, scoring = 'neg_mean_squared_log_error',verbose=3,cv=kfold)

eval_set = [(train_X, train_y), (test_X, test_y)]
search.fit(train_X, train_y,
           eval_set = eval_set,
        eval_metric = 'rmse',
        early_stopping_rounds = 50)

print("The best hyperparameters are ",search.best_params_)
print("The best score was ",search.best_score_)
print('The best estimator was',search.best_estimator_)

One thing I might try is to get a list of all the early stopping numbers for every hyperparameter combination and sort them by lowest error then run a grid search cv again but now through this list with kfold cv and see how the results compare to the early stopping test/train list. I just want to know if thats something even worth doing in terms of time saved from tuning for the best # of trees and model accuracy compared to just using the early stopping test/train list


ECONOMYNEXT – Sri Lanka has began work to upgrade its consumer protection regime in line with United Nations guidelines, reforms aimed at keeping up with changing trends like online shopping and cross border consumption, the Industry and Commerce Ministry said.
The island will adopt the UN Guidelines on Consumer Protection (UNGCP) with reforms done under a partnership between the Colombo office of the UN Industrial Development Organisation and the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) under the ministry, a statement said.
Existing laws are being evaluated under the Sri Lanka Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) Deliberations in an exercise involving representatives from 30 Sri Lankan regulatory agencies.
"This is the first time that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the CAA and even Sri Lanka itself is undertaking such an in-depth review of safeguards of consumption of products, services and compliance at national level," the statement said.
The exercise is a stepping stone towards harmonization of local laws with dynamic global standards sourced from UNGCP to design national consumer wellbeing policy respected by 100 countries, it said.
Sri Lanka's consumer protection framework at present is largely dependent on legislations such as the Consumer Affairs Authority Act which need revising.
"While these Acts introduced the much needed basic consumer safeguard framework to Sri Lanka they do not appear to be satisfactory anymore in the face of huge changes," the ministry said.
These include online purchases, new cross border consumption patterns including consumption of content such as data, and new consumer activism that looks for remedies on latest merchandise that was previously unheard of or unknown such as streaming or stored online digital content.
"Sometimes regulations are outdated, weak or non-existent and periodically they need to be examined to correct them and their quality," said UN Resident Coordinator McCauley.

FlexPlan project aims at establishing a new grid planning methodology considering the opportunity to introduce new storage and flexibility resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids as an alternative to building new grid elements.
Three achievements are targeted:
The creation of a new tool for optimizing grid planning, considering the placement of flexibility elements located both in transmission and distribution networks as an alternative to traditional grid planning (e.g., storage, electric vehicles, demand response)
A new methodology to analyse six regional grid planning scenarios at 2030-2040-2050. A pan-European scenario will deliver border conditions to initialize in a coherent way the 6 regional cases.
Regulatory guidelines for an optimized planning methodology for the future usage of TSOs and DSOs, indications on the potential role of flexibility and storage as a support of grid planning, and guidelines for opportune regulation.
FlexPlan new planning tool
The main source for the scenarios considered in FlexPlan project is the Ten Year Network Development Plan (TYNDP) 2020, developed by ENTSO-E, which describes possible trends up to 2050.
The grid planning methodology developed by FlexPlan will include more flexibility thanks to new storage and resources in electricity transmission and distribution grids.

It will be offered to grid operators through an open-source software platform.
INTERPRETER platform architecture
The modular grid management platform will provide a flexible solution that can be adapted to all energy systems, improving grid management and planning.
INTERRFACE – LOCAL FLEXIBILITY
ATTEST – LOCAL FLEXIBILITY
INTERRFACE project aims to design a Common Architecture that will connect actors and markets in a transparent, non-discriminatory manner.
It will develop an open architecture for sharing data among all participants in the electricity system value chain (customers, grids, market), from local, regional to EU level. It will enable TSOs, DSOs and customers to coordinate their efforts to maximise the potential of distributed energy resources (DERs), demand aggregators and grid assets, so as to procure energy services in a cost-efficient way and create consumer benefits.
INTERRFACE Interoperable pan-European Grid Services Architecture (IEGSA)
The increased sharing of data permitted by the Architecture will support better communication between all participants in the electricity system at different levels for more flexible and cost-efficient energy services.

Welcome to Frat City
Daniel Sisgoreo 3:15 am, Dec 02, 2011
There's nothing worse than that two-week period you spend in Bass every December. Thankfully, a couple of Yalies — the mysterious "DaLegend" and "MC Lars" — have put together a rap song (it's really more of an anthem) called "Frat City" that will surely get us through finals. After all, what better way to survive such terrible pain than by making us feel like we're swimming in cheap beer at SigEp?
"'Ey yo b, what's up?" the song begins. Okay, off to a shaky start, but don't worry: "That s— right here? It's called frat city." What's "frat city," you ask? Well, it "runs the whole school."
It doesn't stop there. The song has a simple repetitive beat as it drills in a solid, resounding message: "ADPhi, DKE, Zeta Psi, yo / better watch your girl if she on frat row." Oh, and don't forget the video: a picture of a tilted can of Natural Light beer — see? What would we do without the cheap beer?
Here are a few more choice lyrics (rough transcriptions of them, anyway):
"Box 6-3 then we hit Toad's Place / 30 deep at the door — we don't ever wait"
"Any girl looking like she wanna Alpha Del' / Tank top, flip-flops, Deerfield belt / she got her swag but so do errybody else / paying no attention / not a single Twitter mention"
"'Round 2 a.m. these girls start to get the mission / I'm so drunk, take off my clothes"
"Letters on my chest make the girls nympho"
"I'm not a fighter but my crew will stop your a– out / so think twice talkin' s— at the Zeta house"
Intrigued? You can listen to the song by clicking here.
UPDATE: The original YouTube video has been taken down, but you can still listen to "Frat City" here.

September – the month of changes — closes with a concert by a man who has changed the landscape of music over the past five decades. Gordon Lightfoot will perform at the Crown Coliseum on Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m. He is the complete package — singer, songwriter and musician. He learned piano in his teens and taught himself percussion and the guitar.
When one thinks of Gordon Lightfoot, three songs immediately come to mind, "If You Could Read My Mind", "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". His discography spans 50 years and has been covered by Bob Dylan, Toby Keith, Jimmy Buffet, Dan Fogelberg, Richie Havens, Elvis Presley, Judy Collins and a host of others.
"If You Could Read My Mind" speaks to a relationship that once flourished but hit rocky times. We hear the questioning in his voice wondering whether the relationship could be saved as he mourns for what once was but will never be again. "Sundown" relates the plaintive desire for a woman who is just out of reach. When he finally captures her, regret fills his soul.
After reading a Newsweek article in November 1975, Lightfoot penned "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." The song tells the tale of the tragic last voyage of the S.S Edmund Fitzgerald. The ship was caught in a winter storm in Lake Superior and all 29 crew members perished. The lyrics were drawn from facts that surround the tragedy. To this day, Lightfoot visits family members of those that perished when his touring schedule allows.
Lightfoot has weathered his own storms as well. The life of a touring musician took its toll on several relationships. In 1972, he contracted Bell's palsy and experienced temporary paralysis but continued to write music.

Breaking News: Keyes Wasn't Invited to This Debate, Either
By Right Wing Watch Staff | November 29, 2007 6:38 pm
When Alan Keyes announced his latest quixotic campaign, someone might have thought he hit the ground running: He was featured just three days later at the Values Voter Debate alongside real, live presidential candidates. Granted, he may have benefited from the fact that the four Republican front runners all skipped that event, and in the end, he didn't make too much of an impression, but none the less, it's nice to be wanted. And he also scored a spot at Tavis Smiley's black-oriented forum on PBS (although again, the four leading candidates skipped that debate).
But alas, "the Big Mo" would elude Keyes. He was left out of the GOP debate in Michigan; blaming NBC, Keyes called it a "sham." (On the other hand, it did have those four candidates…) He was also left out of the next debate in Orlando. Worst of all, he wasn't even invited to speak at the Family Research Council Values Voter Summit.
So at this point, it's not too surprising that Keyes would be left out of last night's CNN/YouTube Republican debate. Nevertheless, Keyes campaign chief Stephen Stone (who moonlights as a pro-Keyes editor of Keyes's RenewAmerica website) is outraged. Stone, in a angry—and long-winded—e-mail exchange with CNN, threatens legal action and insinuates foul play:
How do CNN and YouTube intend to dispel the obvious appearance that their exclusion of Ambassador Keyes from the debate does in fact amount to an attempt to damage the Keyes campaign? In other words, explain why the behavior of CNN and YouTube is not intentionally self-fulfilling — since it presumes in advance that the Keyes campaign lacks viability, and then proceeds to ensure such lack of viability by excluding Dr. Keyes from the nation's consciousness — even though he is the most eloquent and persuasive Republican candidate in the race, a candidate who in 2000 was widely credited with winning the Republican presidential debates and came in third in the primaries, and whose candidacy, therefore, cannot objectively be considered less than viable.
While it may be hard for CNN to present an objective criterion to dispute that Keyes is "the most eloquent and persuasive Republican candidate in the race," the network did claim to base its decision on minimum national poll results and a $1 million fundraising floor. Stone isn't having any of it: How can the polls be "reliable" when they don't include Keyes? (Well, except that one that does.) And how could CNN have possibly gauged how much Keyes has raised?
What evidence do you have of the actual amount of "individual contributions" raised to date by the Keyes campaign, upon which CNN and YouTube based their decision to exclude Dr. Keyes? Please describe the factual basis for identifying this amount, since we have never publicly released this confidential information, and explain how CNN and YouTube acquired it.
Now, this is especially comical, and not just because Keyes groups have a reputation for shady finances. One would hope that the CEO of a "major" presidential campaign would know that all federal candidates are required to disclose their contributions on a regular basis, and that information is hardly "confidential." It's easy to find on the Internet: By the last filing period, Keyes has raised $22,768 (that's thousands, not millions) from 15 individual donors. (That's fifteen.) By contrast, Fred Thompson—who officially entered the race around the same time—had raised $12 million from around 8,000 donors.

On Friday, Saturday Night Live's writer, Katie Rich tweeted that the "country's first homeschool shooter" would be the youngest son of President Donald Trump, Barron Trump. Rich was instantly confronted with a huge number of comments condemning her for focusing on the 10-year-old. She has since closed her social media pages and website.
Another remark said that SNL needs to re-assess their central goal and increase current standards for what constitutes diversion and turn into a positive impact in our way of life. They went ahead to state, "Katie Rich, along with NBC and SNL, who advocate her behavior are once again willing to stoop to the depths of hell for the sake of ratings, I suppose. The whole lot who think it's funny to berate and dehumanize anyone, especially a child, is despicable and classless." A request of was recorded on Change.org needing NBC to flame Rich. On Monday morning, there were over 50,000 signatures.


Around 1925, American composer/arranger Ferde Grofé and some of his pals drove from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon for a camping trip. Grofé made sure he was awake to witness the sunrise the next morning, and like so many spectators before and after, he was profoundly inspired – the magnificence of colors, the colossal-ness, its roaring silence – and he began composing a musical picture of it. Several years later, Grofé added 4 more movements, each evoking a different mood of the Canyon, and the finished work was premiered in 1931 as the Grand Canyon Suite.
But Grofé was never satisfied with simply arranging, though he was masterful at it. Already under his belt were quite a few compositions, including another of his best works, the Mississippi Suite (1925). And in a time when the country was searching for an "American Sound," [. . .].
Since becoming a "destination" in the late 1800's and soon thereafter a National Park, the Grand Canyon has inspired artists and writers in steady streams. Although poets' words rarely capture such a place as the Grand Canyon, some seem to echo Grofé's musical impressions brilliantly.
Grofé's Sunrise evokes the brimming of energy at dawn with a timpani roll and ascending horn fanfares, bird calls, and gentle contrasting rhythms representing[. . .].
No picture of the Grand Canyon is complete without its iconic, cantankerous and noisily braying burro, the Canyon's primary supply vehicle for centuries. Grofé's whimsical violin solo at the beginning [. . .].
With exceptional orchestral colors, Grofé captures one of the signature moments in the Canyon, as sky and earth illuminate in a painter's fancy, [. . .].


Ever have liquor store anxiety? That's a term we just made up, but it's when you walk into a booze shop and get so overwhelmed by all the options that you can't decide which bottle to buy—so you just pick up something you've had a million times before.
This is especially true for wine. With so many bottles from around the world, it's often easier to snag a couple Cabernets from Napa Valley because you know they're good.
The problem: Wine sellers set their prices based on demands. Buy what everyone else is buying (like California Cabs), and you're going to pay more than you really should.
But if you're willing to branch out a bit—and spend a few more minutes in the liquor store—you can find amazing wines that are similar to the ones you like, for a lot less money.
Next time you make a booze run, pull up this list on your phone. These are the bottles, regions, and grapes you should be shopping for to get the most bang for your buck.
The best part: Every bottle is listed under $20—and you can even find some for less than $10.
Monastrell is a type of grape, and it's a home run for guys who like big, full-bodied Cabernets like those from Napa, says Keith Wallace, President and Founder of the Wine School of Philadelphia.
"Monastrell is even bigger and chewier than Napa Cabs, and at a fraction of the price," he adds. Look specifically for wines from Jumilla and Yecla—Spanish towns that produce quality Monastrell wines, Wallace says.
For another way to escape the high prices of domestic Cabernet, head Down Under.
"Australia was big for a while, and now it's making a bit of a comeback," says Kevin Zraly, Founder of the Windows on the World Wine School in Philadelphia.
He also recommends Cabs from Chile as excellent value buys.
Two options: Los Vascos Cabernet Sauvignon, Jacob's Creek Coonawarra Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.
Dolcetto, a grape grown in the Piedmont region of Italy, is great choice for guys who enjoy fruit-forward, easy-drinking Merlot wines, Wallace says.
"A more famous alternative—the one that a lot of people already know about—is Malbec from the Mendoza region in Argentina," he adds.
Related: You Should Be Drinking Box Wine!
Temperanillo is a medium-bodied red grape that's similar to Merlot. Zraly recommends Temperanillo wines from the Rioja region.
Look for bottles labeled "Reserva," which means the wine was aged for a minimum of 3 years. These tend to be higher quality than less-expensive "Crianza" wines from Rioja—though Zraly says you can still find plenty of great Crianzas.
Barbera is a type of grape grown almost exclusively in Italy. "It's a little heavier than Pinot Noir, and the value is unbelievable," Zraly says.
When you're shopping, look for labels that include the words "d'Alba" or "d'Asti," which refer to specific areas that produce quality Barbera, Zraly says.
Another suggestion for Pinot fans: Gamay, a grape grown mostly in the Beaujolais region of France.
"Look for wines that say 'Beaujolais-Villages' on the label," Zraly advises. The designation "villages" means the grapes used to produce the wine all came from a specific village or area, and these tend to be higher in quality than Gamay wines labeled simply "Beaujolais," he says.
Even better: Gamay wines from the village of Morgon.
Rosé has enjoyed a recent surge of popularity—especially as a refreshing warm-weather alternative to heavier red wines.
"If you like pink wines, then the place to find the great ones is the South of France"—specifically the Provence and Côtes du Rhône regions, Wallace says.
He also recommends Rosé from Southern Australia.
If you dig heavier white wines like Chardonnay, check out Australian wines made from a grape called Viognier.
The Fiano Di Avellino grape from Southern Italy is also worth checking out, he says.
If you like lighter white wines, look for Alsace, France wines made from the Pinot Blanc grape, as well as Txakoli wine from Spain's Basque Country. "Both are really fantastic," Wallace says.


Glyn Lloyd, an employment lawyer specialising in immigration law at Morgan Cole, has outlined what changes to immigration law may mean for employers, of which directors, boards and HR departments should all be aware.
Writing for HR Magazine, he said the changes implemented at the start of this month were designed to simplify the rules and regulations governing immigration and employment.
The list of jobs for non-EEA workers now include the Standard Occupational Classification codes recently updated by the Office for National Statistics. The Codes of Practice for individual roles across various sectors are now outlined far more simply than before.
For example, the ability of immigrants to identify Tier 2 roles - by looking at skill and salary information - is far easier. A Tier 2 category role is for a foreign national offered a skilled job which cannot be carried out by a settled worker.
Criteria have also been relaxed in terms of how an employer can advertise a position before offering it to a non-EEA candidate. In the past, authorities had dictated how and by what media such jobs could be advertised.

Oh look what I received in the mail recently!
This post is out a little later in June, as I only received the May box towards end of the month of May 2013.
Is described as having cool fragrance of Cucumber infused with moisturizing Aloe Vera. A calming, hydrating bodywash that gently cleanses your skin, helping you to feel pampered and instantly relaxed.
So far I have used it, and find the texture tolerable. It does not have a very strong scent, and fairly affordable for its pricing.
I currently leave this bottle of 15ml EDT in my office drawer, for those times when I need a spritz of new fragrance, or just want to feel refreshed. What makes it a bit off putting is the bottle has a description of 80% alcohol? Ok, I can't expect too much when three bottles of this EDT retails for about Rm35 ish on the Hi-Shop website.
"formulated to purify and refine the skin while promoting confort and softness. This water rinsable cleanser also effectively removes dirt and absorbs all impurities while hydrating and protecting the skin to help control blemishes. It consists of soothing plant extracts to provide a soothing action for senstive skin."
I have yet to try this cleanser, as I have a number of other cleansers still unopened from my box of tens of samples and not to mention this as well..

Q: Make up something or make something up? Another murky subject arose today:
Would like to know, which one is appropriate:

I am unable to attend the mandatory meeting; I will make up some excuse.

Or:

I am unable to attend the mandatory meeting; I will make some excuse up.

A: Since we're legitimately allowed to separate the verb "make" from its particle "it", both of these options are fine. This is known as a separable phrasal verb. You don't have to separate these as long as you're not using a pronoun.
For example:

I made the most ridiculous excuse up

and

I made up the most ridiculous excuse

are both fine. But:

I made up it

is not correct since the pronoun must separate verb and particle.
In practice, Catija (see comment above) is right. It is easier for both the speaker and listener/reader to parse if we keep the whole phrasal verb together and put the complement after, otherwise we can get lost waiting for the particle.
So,

Make up some excuse

is probably preferred, but both are correct.
Here is a little light reading on phrasal verbs.

Former manager's $10million lawsuit against Cardi B dismissed in court
The lawsuit dates back to 2018
By Jasper Bruce
Cardi B. CREDIT: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
A $10 million breach of contract lawsuit filed against Cardi B by her former manager has been dismissed in court.
In 2018, Klenord 'Shaft' Raphael commenced proceedings to sue his former client. Mr Raphael accused Cardi of breaching the pair's agreement by signing with Solid Foundation, the management division of Quality Control records.
The rapper's former manager claimed to have discovered her, saying he played an "integral role in developing her music career and public image".
Cardi B subsequently launched a $30 million counterclaim, arguing that Mr. Raphael signed her original deal without supervision from a lawyer.
She also alleged Mr. Raphael had failed to provide accurate accounts of her earnings during the pair's working partnership and had been taking more money from her than he was owed.
Late last week, the original lawsuit and Cardi's counterclaim were both dismissed in court.
"This action, including all claims and counterclaims, is hereby dismissed in its entirety with prejudice against all parties. The parties have further agreed that all parties to this action shall bear their own costs and attorney's fees," read documents obtained by AllHipHop.com.
The dismissal means that Cardi B's music royalties, which had been withheld, will now be distributed properly.
Cardi took to Twitter today (December 27), saying that it "feels good to be free" from the legal drama.

Cardi B is, however, in the midst of other legal battles. Earlier in December, a man announced he would sue the rapper for using an image of his tattoo for the cover of her 2016 mixtape, 'Gangsta Bitch Music Vol 1'.
The plaintiff called Cardi's unauthorised use of the image "misleading, offensive, humiliating and provocatively sexual".
In September, the rapper was also sued for defamation by Trump supporters, after a confrontation in which Cardi and her sister allegedly accused them of racism.

Q: Open a local web page from Perl I'm writing a Perl script that creates HTML output and I would like to have it open in the user's preferred browser.  Is there a good way to do this?  I can't see a way of using ShellExecute since I don't have an http: address for it.

A: Assuming you saved your output to "../data/index.html",
$ret = system( 'start ..\data\index.html' );

should open the file in the default browser.
Added:
Advice here:
my $filename = "/xyzzy.html";  #whatever
system("start file://$filename");

A: If I understand what you're trying to do, this will not work. You would have to setup a web server, like apache and configure it to execute your script. This wouldn't be a trivial task if you've never done it before.

A: Since this is Windows, the easy option is to dump the data to a temporary file using File::Temp (making sure it has an extension .htm or .html, and that it isn't cleaned up immediately on script exit, so that the file remains, i.e, you probably want something like File::Temp->new(UNLINK => 0, SUFFIX => '.htm')). Then you ought to be able to use Win32::FileOp's ShellExecute to open the file regularly. This does make all sorts of assumptions about file types being associated with file extensions, but then, that's how Windows tends to work.

Once each month, we share our collection plate with a member-nominated non-profit organization whose mission and values align with ours. Our Unitarian Universalist principles call for us to work for justice and humanity. By reaching out to the community, we are showing San Antonio who we are and for what we stand.
We provide our congregation information about the recipient organization each month. In addition to raising awareness and donating financially, Share the Plate offers opportunities for our members to develop and deepen connections with these non-profit organizations. Our vision is that we will not only give money, but stay in contact and get involved. To that end, we maintain a list of previous recipients on our site, with links to the organizations' websites.
It must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission of service, advocacy, or direct action.
It must be either a local organization or a UU affiliated organization that is not already receiving budgeted support from First UU.
Note: Nominators of selected Share the Plate recipients will serve as the liaison to connect the organization, the Share-the-Plate coordinator and the congregation.
A one-sentence description of the organization for the ballot.
A list of the qualified nominations with links to their websites will appear in late April. In May, at our Annual Meeting, First UU members will mark their choices on a ballot. The nine organizations with the highest votes will be assigned a month, and as the date approaches, the coordinator and the nominator will promote Share the Plate.

Mark Jeneker Foundation
Mark Jeneker is a firm believer in the art of changing lives. He loved art as a child but fell into a life of crime and violence. Remembering how positive and calming art was to him as a kid, Jeneker began to develop his artistic skills as a coping tool that kept him out of trouble later into his adult life. After seeing how art was able to turn his own life around, Jeneker felt a calling to teach art to kids in the crime ridden neighborhood of Mitchells Plain, outside of Cape Town, South Africa.
Jeneker knows that the artistic lifes is a much more positive, beneficial and secure way to contribute back to society so, in 2013, he began teaching in the Mitchells Plain Library for free. As his program became more popular, Jeneker expanded into several primary schools and libraries in Mitchells Plain, teaching thousands of students every week. He provides the children with supplies, lessons and a safe space to create. Jeneker states that when he first came into the primary schools "all the kids talked about was crime and gangs, but now all they talk about is their love for art."
In 2016, Jeneker was voted as a Lead South African Hero and three of his pupils won the Golden Award at the Metro South School District art competition. In 2017 Jeneker created the Mark Jeneker Foundation in an effort to expand his influence on his community. So far, Jeneker has been able to sell 15 of his students paintings and 100 percent of those profits go back to the students in an effort to encourage them to keep creating art. His foundation and the opportunities that come from it shed light on a new and optimistic outlook for children who otherwise would not have the same options for their future.
The Mark Jeneker Foundation has no consistent sources of donations which means that Jeneker pays for all of the art supplies and his studio space out of his own pocket. Mark Jeneker has dreams of expanding his foundation into all of the schools in Mitchells Plain but in order to do that he will need funding to purchase more supplies and pay more employees to create more jobs in the community. Most importantly, he wants to be able to sell more of the pupils artwork so that he can continue to provide an escape for the children that are feeling negative pressure from their community. Please support the Mark Jeneker Foundation in his efforts to paint South Africa's future!
