She not only overcame struggles with anxiety when she was a kid but went on to write a book about it to help others.
She quotes this as the best advice she ever got, "stay irrepressibly true to yourself and be tenacious about finding ways to manifest the truest form of you." Preach!

With the CHP #10-st grind you really have to listen very, very carefully at idle to tell there's a hotter cam in the engine. This Cam was designed to create an awesome performance balance by allowing your engine to sound and act like your daddy's Caddy, but with no loss of your Cadillac's excellent street manners as the Cam's "Stealth Technology" has a smooth and clean idle. Best yet, just choose to stomp on the gas pedal and Ol' Mustang-boy next to you at the stop light won't believe what just happened to his trampled ego. As with any lift ratio over .500, the top of the valve guides will need to be machined for added retainer-to-guide clearance and a VT08 Spring Kit is required for proper spring pressure.

Q: Multiple count() with WHERE clause I have an SQL table which contains flashcard objects. The table has a column indicated whether a flashcard is free or paid. Flashcards are divided into categories. In my android app I need to display the number of flashcards which are free, and also the number of flashcards which are paid, for each category. If a flashcard isn't free, it is paid.
My SQL isn't great, so far I have a query which returns the number of flashcards which are free:
SELECT _id, category_primary, count(category_primary) FROM Flashcards WHERE available = '1' GROUP BY category_primary;

I want to try to get the count of both free and paid flashcards in a single query/cursor as I display the result in a ListView using an adapter.

A: You can add the available column to the GROUP BY:
SELECT
    _id,
    category_primary,
    available,
    count(category_primary)
FROM
    Flashcards
GROUP BY
    available,
    category_primary;

As an aside, I would have expected you to need the _id column in both your original query and this updated version - I have left it out because I'm assuming your original query works fine.

A: select f.category_primary, count(f1._id)as available_count, count(f0._id)as disable_count
from (select _id, category_primary from Flashcards) f
left join (select _id from Flashcards where available='1') f1 on f1._id=f._id
left join (select _id from Flashcards where available='0') f0 on f0._id=f._id
group by f.category_primary

A: Steven Fenton's answer came close, but wasn't quite what I wanted. I found my answer here: How to get multiple counts with one SQL query?.
The query that worked for me is:
SELECT
    _id,
    category_primary,
    sum(CASE WHEN Flashcards.available = '1' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) category_free,
    sum(CASE WHEN Flashcards.available = '0' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) category_paid
FROM
    Flashcards
GROUP BY
    category_primary;

The naming of the column available is pretty poor on my part, and I didn't phrase my question very clearly. A better name for the column would be is_free Thanks for those who helped answer my question!

The Dutch composer Simeon ten Holt composed 'Canto Ostinato' in 1979. It is traditionally performed on 4 grand pianos, and bases on a continuous repetition and build-up of the various sections, leading to what is often called a meditative experience. ATELIER LAMBERMONT – run by pianist and sculptor Robert Lambermont (who famously stages Canto with RONDANE quartet, the purest and youngest representatives of Ten Holts' ouevre) created the smallest possible version of the masterpiece: a hand-operated musicbox. The studio created a layout for the gift packaging: an indulging play of words and typography, reminiscent of a piece of music.

Q: Complex number division If z=a+bj
Can anyone explain why real(z/z*) can't be figured out using =(a-bj/a+bj)
=(a/a)
=1
And imagenary (z/z*)
=(a+bj/a-bj)
=(bj/-bj)
=-1

A: Denoting the imaginary unit as $i$, we see that if we have a complex number:
$$ z = a+bi $$
then its complex conjugate is:
$$ \bar{z} = a-bi$$
and so:
\begin{align*}
\frac{z}{\bar{z}} &= \frac{a+bi}{a-bi} \\
&= \frac{a+bi}{a-bi} \frac{a+bi}{a+bi} \\
&= \frac{a^2+2abi -b^2}{a^2+b^2} \\
&= \frac{a^2-b^2}{a^2+b^2} + \frac{2ab}{a^2+b^2}i
\end{align*}
Therefore:
\begin{align*}
\Re \left[\frac{z}{\bar{z}} \right] &= \frac{a^2-b^2}{a^2+b^2} \\
\Im \left[\frac{z}{\bar{z}} \right] &= \frac{2ab}{a^2+b^2}
\end{align*}


In April Patently Apple reported on PC sales and Apple was shown to be in the cellar's fifth position with Growth being non-existent and in fact down by close to 5%. Today IDC posted their PC statistical chart for Q3 and we're able to see that Apple is once again in the cellar position with even a higher negative growth factor of -11.6%. The industry as a whole was down 0.9%.
IDC reports that "The traditional PC market has trended toward stabilization since 2017 and even flirted with solid growth in 2Q18. While demand from mature regions remained key to the market, many emerging markets had to contend with unfavorable currency headwinds and other politico-economic factors that cramped demand. In addition, heading into Q3 there were some concerns about processor shortages. Despite these concerns, most of the top OEMs were able to fulfill a sizable portion of their demand and outperform the market. All in all, the quarter appears to have been driven by pockets of strong demand as well as a focus on increasing inventory ahead of further supply issues and expected price hikes. From a geographic perspective, all regions exceeded forecast, though Latin America and Asia/Pacific saw year-on-year declines."
For the USA market, IDC reports that "The U.S. PC market had yet another growth quarter with a total of 17.2 million units shipped. The boost in PC volume was a result of growing demand for notebook PCs in the enterprise segment and increasing popularity of gaming systems that supported the consumer segment."
In respect to Apple, IDC added that "Apple finished the quarter in 5th place, declined over 11%, and was the only top 5 company to underperform the overall market." For more on this report click here.
While Apple fans are hoping for a Mac update, especially for MacBooks, it's still in the air. If they don't deliver, expect Q4 PC sales for Macs to tank again.


The first American river gets the Street View treatment as Google sends cameras down the Colorado River, bringing rapids and ridges of the Grand Canyon to screens around the world.
Continuing what seems like a quest to photograph every stretch of space on Earth, Google took its Street View cameras and technology down the Colorado River, the first time an American river is available for a virtual vacation.
Giving you one less reason to go outside, Google's "river view" spans 286 miles of the Colorado — that par that meanders through Arizona's Grand Canyon National Park — in their latest effort to deliver the world's far-flung, and often dangerous, places to our screens.
Screenshot from a trip down the Colorado River using Google Street View.
Google took an eight-day trip down the river in August 2013 and teamed up with American Rivers, an environmental non-profit, to uncover sights previously reserved for white water rafters and daring adventurers. As The Wall Street Journal's Marketwatch reports, staff attached Street View cameras to a raft, capturing panoramic views that were later stitched together. If you don't want to click down the Colorado River online, Google's time-lapse video sums up the trip quite nicely.
Google visited the Grand Canyon last year to test out their Trekker backpack cameras, basically a walking, mobile version of their image-capturing technology.
In 2013, the Colorado River was listed by American Rivers as the most endangered river in the country, at risk from drought and increased demand for water due to climate change. The river, which serves around 40 million people and spans seven western states, is called a "lifeline in the desert" by American Rivers. Effect of the drought can be seen on the river view around Lake Mead.
"We hope this inspires viewers to take an active interest in preserving it," Google project lead Karin Tuxen-Bettman told the Associated Press.
"It's just a valuable snapshot in time of what the river is like right now," said Amy Kober of American Rivers.
It will be interesting to see where Google goes next with Street View. They've already taken on the Antarctic and sailed down the Amazon. Street View features the Base Camp at Everest, Venice, Italy, and the Galapagos Islands. But considering Google has used push carts and snowmobiles to capture parts of the world where cars and other vehicles cannot travel, the possibilities are endless.
But despite Google giving you the ability to be transported across the earth, there's nothing like actually being there in person. Go, if you can.

It sounds like a headline out of a notorious 'Fake News' story on social media but apparently, it's true-- and here's what the FBI wants you to do about it here in Minnesota.
If you're like me, you might wonder just how or why foreign hackers would want to access your own personal router. Voter files? Sure. Sensitve info from the government? I get why foreign hackers might want that too. But why would anyone want to hack into our router-- so they can see us binge-watching House Hunters again?!?
Well, According to this BringMeTheNews story posted on Monday, the FBI believes that Russian malware has been released that could not only hack into your info via your router, but also grab your sensitive info (like passwords to various sites) and files, spy on your web traffic, and perhaps even destroy your router too.
The story says its something called the "'VPNFilter,' and it's has been happening since 2016, but hackers have stepped up the attack in recent weeks to the point it's prompted the FBI to issue guidance to all router owners," the story noted.
Basically what you have to do is turn your router off and then back on again. Because the malware works in three stages, the story turning your router off and on again should stop any activity-- if there is any-- in its tracks during the first stage and keep your info safe.
This Rochester corner will take you on a time-warp!

With the increased successes of Google's self-driving cars, more and more auto manufacturers are entering into the high-tech world of vehicles that can drive with less and less human intervention. While this is exciting new technology, debates have raged over whether this is a truly safe endeavor. With the recent death of a Tesla driver who was killed while his car was driving on Autopilot, many in North Carolina and around the country have joined in concern over what may be actually be a dangerous product.
In the first documented case of a fatality caused by a wreck while a car was in self-driving mode, a man who recently praised the technology perished. The car's cameras were unable to distinguish between a brightly lit sky and the white side of a turning 18-wheeler. According to the driver of the semi, it appeared that the driver was watching a movie during the time of the crash, which was still playing after the man passed through the truck and crashed into a telephone pole just down the road. Tesla has since said that watching a movie on the touchscreen in the car is impossible.
The accident occurred on May 7 near Williston, Florida, when the semi was crossing the divided highway an attempting to turn left. The wreck completely sheared off the roof of the car, and the driver was declared dead at the scene. This is not the first time that automatic braking systems have failed, and many other car manufacturers such as Lexus and Toyota have recalled vehicles to upgrade the radar calibrations to include events that were originally programmed into the system.
While it may be understood that self-driving cars still need humans to give input and remain alert, it can be easy to be lulled into a false sense of security by the technology. Those in North Carolina who have experienced accidents due to what many may consider a dangerous product could benefit from discussing their situations with an attorney. Attorneys who are well-versed in product liability litigation will be in the best position to offer guidance as to the various legal options available to seek restitution in the event of an accident.

Q: get data of how results have been found in Amazon Cloudsearch as we use cloudsearch to find our documents and data, we have this issue that some of the data that are returned back to us, we have to know that how they've been found.
I know that we can specify which fields to search for them, but is there any way that amazon gives us a hint or some information that how the returned data has been found. on which fields it exists?
this can be really really useful information for us and affects the way we show data to our users.

Drunk driving occurs when a person is driving an automobile, after consuming alcoholic beverages to the extent that his ability to drive a motor vehicle is impaired.
Drunk driving can be called by a number of different names or abbreviations, depending upon what state you are in. Common names are "Driving While Impaired" (DWI), "Driving Under the Influence" (DUI), or "Operating a motor vehicle while Under the Influence of intoxicating Liquor" (OUIL).
Many people charged with drunk driving protest that their driving was fine. They believe either that the officer made up an excuse to pull them over, or that the "mistake" that the officer observed was appropriate or had nothing to do with their driving.
Every state imposes a maximum permissible blood alcohol content (BAC) for drivers, and you can be considered legally impaired even if you do not feel that you are in any way affected by the alcohol you consumed. The legal limit for blood alcohol is normally 0.08%, although drunk driving charges are often possible based upon your driving conduct even at a lower BAC.
It is thus possible to be charged with drunk driving based solely on the measurement of alcohol in your breath, blood or urine. When your blood alcohol is measured to be above the legal limit, you can potentially be convicted of drunk driving no matter how well you were able to operate your vehicle.
Even if the traffic stop had nothing to do with your driving conduct, it is possible to end up with a drunk driving charge. For example, you may be stopped because there is a mechanical problem with your motor vehicle or after an accident. If the officer finds you to appear intoxicated due to such factors as slurred speech, poor balance or coordination, bloodshot or glassy eyes, a conspicuous odor of alcohol, confusion, clumsiness, combativeness or disorientation, the officer may investigate further for evidence that you were operating your vehicle while intoxicated.
A per se impaired driving charge allows a conviction for drunk driving based solely upon a driver's blood alcohol content, without the need for further evidence that the defendant's ability to drive was impaired as a result of intoxication. A per se offense can only be charged if your blood alcohol content is known.
As a broad rule, defendants do have the right to represent themselves in court. At the same time it is not a good idea to try to represent yourself against any criminal charges.
Drunk driving may seem to you like a relatively simple offense, but it is in fact a relatively complicated charge, and it carries significant potential penalties and financial consequences. There are many technical defenses that an attorney may be able to raise to assist you either in avoiding conviction, negotiating a lesser charge, or in reducing the consequences of conviction such as a driver's license suspension or increased insurance costs.
The penalty for a drunk driving offense varies significantly from state to state. All drunk driving offenses carry potential jail sentences.
Most first offenders are given lesser punishments, such as driver's license restrictions, fines, mandatory attendance of drunk driver's education classes, mandatory attendance of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings or alcohol counseling, community service, or probation.
It is common for people to be sentenced to jail for a second or subsequent drunk driving conviction.
Some jurisdictions sentence all drunk drivers to jail following conviction, although the term may be very short (e.g., one weekend) for a first offender.
Habitual drunk drivers face more severe sanctions, such as driver's license revocation, incarceration, and larger fines.
In most states the potential penalty may increase if a minor child was a passenger in the impaired driver's vehicle, or if an accident or injury results from the impaired operation of the vehicle. Some states also impose higher penalties where a defendant driver's blood alcohol is exceptionally high, or if the defendant was driving in a particularly dangerous or reckless manner while impaired.
Impaired driving charges involving the use of pharmaceutical products or illicit drugs often carry more serious penalties than alcohol-related drunk driving charges. For drivers who operate a vehicle while under the influence of drugs, even for first offense violations some states allow felony charges.
In some cases a convicted drunk driver will be required to install an ignition interlock device on his car, requiring him to pass a breath test in order to start the ignition. Some states will immobilize or impound the drunk driver's car. Some drunk drivers also have a breath testing device installed in their homes, and have to submit to random tests on that device when called by their probation officers.
Some states have vehicle forfeiture statutes, and those laws may allow the state to try to take away your car as the result of a drunk driving conviction.
Some states impose very serious penalties on habitual drunk drivers, including the possibility of felony charges that carry possible prison terms. For example, in Michigan, the crime of OUIL 3rd is a felony offense, punishable by up to five years incarceration.
For impaired drivers, the possibility of being involved in an accident that results in a serious or fatal injury is very real. To be blunt, drunk drivers cause a lot of accidents and, due to their diminished capacity to drive, are less likely to avoid accidents even when they're not at fault.
Many states make it a felony offense to cause a serious bodily injury as the result of a drunk driving accident.
Many states have specific felony statutes for drunk driving causing death. Drunk driving causing death can also result in manslaughter or "second degree murder" prosecution.
If the state can prove that the driver's intoxication was the cause of an accident, the driver can face a very long prison term. In some states, the driver's intoxication at the time of an accident is sufficient to support a conviction, even if another driver was at fault.
If an impaired driver injures or kill somebody, the driver will also likely be sued by the injured person or their family. Any damages caused to people or property as a result of drunkenness are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, meaning that an impaired driver can have a judgment hanging over his head for many years, perhaps indefinitely. Many states will not allow you to have a driver's license until you satisfy (pay off) a judgment against you for injuries you cause in an automobile accident.


When I received the invitation to Watsons Brand Refresh Fashion Show, I was very curious what it was about, why would Watsons, the Asia's leading health and beauty retailer organise a fashion show? Hence I made sure I RSVP to the event and made my way to IOI City Mall last Thursday after work.
It was a happening night attended by all the Watson's celebrity friends, Watson's business partners' bloggers community and members of the media. Watsons Brand Refresh Fashion Show was a best platform to present Watsons' new brand look to stay relevant and in-trend with customer's needs.
Watson's new rebranding approach is towards fresh and vibrant look. It has showcased a glittering star-studded fashion show revealing the all new Watsons store staff uniform as part of its initiative to be relevant to its customers and further strengthen the message of 'Look Good, Feel Great'.

With this new look, Watsons will continue to leverage on its positioning as the No. One beauty and health retailer in Asia to help every customer to look good and feel great – both inside and out by addressing their health and beauty needs in store and online.

Local celebrity friends including Fuying and Sam, Amber Chia, Alvin Chong, Arja Lee, Husna Mustaffa and Kit Mah has paraded the stage with the all new Watsons store staff uniform. This new look will continue to further elevate the fresh and experience at the store.

"I just wanted to let you know that after several days on trial, I settled [my client's] construction accident case for $4.5 million. Immediately after the jury was discharged, I spoke with several jurors who told me that they really appreciated the medical illustrations for their clarity in dealing with [my client's] devastating injuries. They also expressed their gratitude in being able to read from a distance all of the notations without difficulty. Obviously, the boards were visually persuasive. I am certain that this contributed to our successful result."
Michael Gunzburg, Esq.
"A few words about The Doe Report: recently in a brachial plexus injury case, we used an image from The Doe Report to demonstrate the injury. We downloaded the PDF file image, and were amazed at the quality. The hard copies that you sent were even more clear. As well, we could not have been happier when you customized the image and reversed the injury from the left shoulder to the right shoulder, which is where our client's injury was.
The speed and cost-effectiveness of the product made it the perfect tool for our purposes. We will use The Doe Report again in future cases."

"Medical illustrations are essential evidence in personal injury litigation and MLA is simply the best I've found at producing high-quality illustrations. Your illustrators are not only first-class artists, but creative and responsive. Your turn around time is as good as it gets. My clients have won over $60 million in jury verdicts and I can't recall a case which did not include one of your exhibits. On behalf of those clients, thanks and keep up the great work!"

"Whether it's demonstrating a rotator cuff tear, neck movement a few milliseconds after rear impact, or a proposed lumbar fusion, the Doe Report represents an instant on-line database of medical illustration for health-care and legal professionals.
Illustrations can be purchased 'as is' or modified within hours and sent either electronically or mounted on posterboard. An illustration is worth a thousand words, as juries perk up and look intently to capture concepts that are otherwise too abstract. Start with good illustrations, a clear and direct voice, a view of the jury as 12 medical students on day one of training, and your expert testimony becomes a pleasure, even on cross examination. An experienced trial lawyer should also emphasize these illustrations at the end of trial, as a means of visually reinforcing key concepts covered.
As a treating physician, I also use these accurate illustrations to educate my own patients about their medical conditions. The Doe Report is an invaluable resource, and its authors at MLA have always been a pleasure to work with."

Secret engagement ring box looks like a golden snitch
Andrea James 6:57 am Fri Jun 30, 2017
Freeman Design crafted this gorgeous necklace and pendant inspired by the golden snitch, a ball used in quidditch in the Harry Potter books. This video shows that it holds a secret engagement ring.
This is a piece that we had the joy to be commissioned to make recently. Made out of Sterling Silver, the Snitch inspired piece had an extra thick coating of 18ct Yellow Gold, with the wings likewise plated in an extra thick coating of Rhodium. Made to be a necklace pendant, we made an Nimbus 2000 inspired broomstick charm to accompany it that unbeknownst to everyone else, is the key to open it. The hinging and catch mechanism is concealed so that when shut, no one else can tell that it can it is actually meant to open, keeping the Engagement Ring a complete secret. Enjoy!
The vertical video might be forgiven, since it's their first upload.

San Mateo County supervisors to vote on…
San Mateo County supervisors to vote on controversial Big Wave development once again
By Aaron Kinney |
REDWOOD CITY — After years of delay and controversy, a developer may finally win approval for a unique vision combining housing for developmentally disabled adults and a large office complex along the Pacific Ocean just north of Half Moon Bay.
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday will once again consider the Big Wave Wellness Center and Office Park, four years after the board first signed off on the project and 15 years after the idea was first hatched.
The initiative, deemed the largest of its kind in the history of the rural San Mateo County coast, has undergone myriad revisions and survived numerous challenges from environmentalists and others who claimed the project did not adhere to rigid laws regarding development in sensitive coastal zones.
Reduced from its original size, Big Wave now consists of a 97,500-square-foot residential facility with a basketball gym, outdoor pool and living space for up to 50 developmentally disabled adults and a business park with as many as 155,000 square feet of office space in five two-story buildings.
One of the primary goals of the project is to provide meaningful paid work for the Big Wave residents, who would serve coffee and sandwiches out of a deli and maintain the grounds of the office park. Revenue would flow to the nonprofit that runs the center to pay for expenses, as would a fee imposed on the office park tenants.
The founder of the project, El Granada contractor Jeff Peck, was inspired to create Big Wave by his developmentally disabled daughter, now 27, who would be among the center"s residents. Finding housing and jobs for adults with disabilities is a challenge, he said, and he worries about what would happen to her if he died or fell ill.
"What we wanted to do is in the private sector create a financial engine to create affordable housing and jobs and make it financially sustainable in perpetuity," said Peck, 61. "This is a model that could be replicated all over the state."
Opponents of the project lodged numerous concerns. They argued the development was too big for its rustic location between Half Moon Bay Airport and Pillar Point in unincorporated San Mateo County. They said the site lies in a tsunami inundation zone and has poor water resources.
Environmental groups filed lawsuits challenging the county"s 2010 environmental impact report and appealed the Board of Supervisor"s 2011 approval to the California Coastal Commission.
In January, the latest version of the project came before the county Planning Commission, which approved the plan. Environmental groups appealed once again. This time, however, negotiations facilitated by county staff were able to address many of the opponents" complaints, according to a county staff report.
Representatives for Committee for Green Foothills, the Sierra Club and the Surfrider Foundation, three leading critics of Big Wave, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Lisa Ketcham, president of the Pillar Ridge Homeowner"s Association board of directors, said the project has improved, but she"s still worried about traffic.
"I cannot say I support it. It"s still too big. But at this point it"s probably as good as we"re going to get," said Ketcham, whose association represents more than 200 families who live near the Big Wave site. "There"s still lots of issues, but it"s much better than it was before."
Peck said that, if the supervisors approve Big Wave again, the decision could be still appealed to the Coastal Commission. But he hopes the commission, which has helped his team revise the project, would reject the appeal.
"I"m not going to have any relief or satisfaction until we get a coastal development permit," Peck said.

Of the Sun – Before a Human Path (Review)
April 14, 2017 by wonderboxmetal
Of the Sun are a progressive metal band from the US and this is their second album.
This is an interesting brand of progressive metal – Of the Sun essentially take the groove metal of bands like Pantera and Lamb of God and mix it with a bit of modern progressive music that has hints of Gojira, Mastodon and Alice in Chains in it. Continue reading →

Ferium – Behind the Black Eyes (Review)
This is the second album from Israeli Death/Groove Metal band Ferium.
Ferium's début album Reflections was a lively and enjoyable album that mixed Death and Groove Metal in just the right amounts.
The first thing about Behind the Black Eyes that strikes me is that it's a far more focused effort than their début; the total playing time, total number of songs and individual track lengths have all been pruned, showing a band who have gained experience in the last few years and have trimmed away the fat to leave a lean, aggressive Metal machine.
The band essentially employ the same format as they did previously – heavy riffs and groovy beats interspersed with elements of modern Metalcore and underscored by a Death Metal base – but this time it's tighter and more direct. That's not to say there's no depth of songwriting here, rather, the band are now closer to the style they clearly want to play and are playing it as they know how best to do; with angry brutality and poised aggression.
The singer growls and barks his way through the tracks. He seems to have improved on his already very satisfactory earlier performance and on this latest release appears to have settled into his role even more comfortably than previously. His voice is quite versatile, with his many different vocalisations all intent on maximising aggression.
All of the songs are well written and demonstrate a band coming into their own. Interesting and nuanced riffs rub shoulders with simpler bruisers, resulting in satisfying songs that may take a direct approach but provide enough content so as to be worth returning to over time.
Well, Reflections was good, but this is better. Well done Ferium.
Highly recommended for fans of Whitechapel, Gojira, Lamb of God, Job for a Cowboy, Thy Art Is Murder, Meshuggah, etc.

Sanzu – Heavy over the Home (Review)
This is the début album from Australian Modern Progressive Death Metallers Sanzu.
We've met Sanzu's Gojira/Morbid Angel-inspired work before on their Painless EP, where they proved themselves to be an energetic and highly-promising addition to the world of Extreme Metal.
On Heavy over the Home Sanzu continue to develop their influences into something even more personable than previously. Although you can still readily identify the Gojira in their sound, for example, they've taken ownership of this even more than on their EP and Heavy over the Home is a force to be reckoned with.
It's also a heavy force, as I suspect this word is used deliberately in the album title. Sanzu do heavy very well indeed. It's hard to do your own thing when heavily influenced, (pun intended…), by such a recognisably distinctive band such as Gojira, but Sanzu have risen to the challenge by embracing their Morbid Angel-esque Death Metal side even further on this release, meaning that we end up with a kind of Gojira-gone-Death-Metal sort of album. This accomplishes two things; it allows the band to go their own way and make their sound much more their own, and also it sounds absolutely great.
Twisting, rolling rhythms and punishing grooves seem to trample and flatten from above, and the band's melodic sensibilities, developed though they are, seem utterly incapable of blunting this crushing heaviosity. We wouldn't have it any other way, of course.
The 45 minutes of music on this album allow the band to spread their wings and develop much further than on their first EP, and it's very pleasing to see Sanzu metamorphosing into something more than their influences, something they can be proud to call their own.
In an utterly crushing display of super-heavy Death Metal, Sanzu destroy the opposition with ease and leave us with a top-quality album to enjoy in the smouldering ruins of what came before.
I'll be playing this on heavy rotation from now on, that's for sure. I advise you do too.

Voros – Diseased Deity (Review)
December 5, 2015 by wonderboxmetal
Voros are a Death Metal band from Australia and this is their début album.
If heavy Death Metal with good riffs and pacing is your thing then look no further. Voros feature a thorough approach to Death Metal that sees them take the Classic style and infuse it with a modern energy.
Believe it or not, but Diseased Deity covers a lot of bases; Death, Thrash, Progressive, Technical and Modern Metal are all thrown into the blender and feed into this Death Metal feast.
The vocals are savage shouts full of anger and hatred which seem to lash out of the music like diseased barbs. The singer has a touch of the Meshuggah about him, giving his voice a different edge to that of the normal Death Metal vocalist.
The songs are well-written and see the band showing off what they do, whether it's riff-hungry, mid-paced Thrashing, faster complexity or blasting destruction.
I like the combination of older and modern influences that give this a feel of Lamb of God and Gojira conspiring together to cover Morbid Angel, Death and Immolation tracks. It's a really good way to approach this album; modern fire with tried-and-tested Old-School steel. On Diseased Deity it all comes together perfectly and the songs are an interesting, varied and engaging vision of what the band want to achieve.
The various influences work together very well to produce an album that takes from several different styles, with the band having enough skill and talent to make it all their own. Diseased Deity is very impressive and these songs have both immediate appeal and longevity of delivery.
This is a great find. I recommend you get hold of this immediately.

Sanzu – Painless (Review)
Sanzu are an Australian Death Metal band and this is their début EP.
This is Progressive Death Metal with a modern slant – kind of like a more extreme Gojira; Gojira mixed with Morbid Angel would be a good starting descriptor.
The grooves and heavy rhythms are immediate and effective, but there is more than meets the eye here and subsequent spins reveal deeper layers to the songs.
The meaty guitars pummel and destroy and the production on this release is absolutely immense. With this recording they could be playing anything and they'd still demolish buildings. As it is, combined with these huge, monstrous riffs they seem to peel off with wild abandon, Sanzu sound unstoppable.
They have the songs to back this up though, otherwise it would be all sonic carnage but no longevity. Gojira have such a distinctive sound that it's easy for any band that even comes close to their style to sound like a rip off; although Sanzu are clearly influenced by Gojira they avoid sounding too much like them due to the more aggressive delivery and the other Death Metal influences in Sanzu's sound.
Well. Listening to this for the first time on a Sunday morning I can faithfully report that it blew all of the early-morning cobwebs away and left me feeling energised. This is an EP that bears repeated listens though, as the first time around it's all too easy to get fixated on the colossal guitars and miss a lot of the other stuff that's going on.
If this is just their début EP, what's next for Sanzu? For their first album I hope for the same huge sound and a further development of their Progressive Metal side, while still keeping the Death Metal brutality. If they can pull this off then we may just have a modern masterpiece on our hands.
Until then we have Painless. It is enough. For now.
A must listen.

Amniac – Infinite (Review)
Amniac are from Greece and this is their début album. They play Post-Metal.
This is Post-Metal that's largely moulded after the trinity of Isis/Neurosis/Cult of Luna, although they also have a more Metal quality to their sound akin to Gojira; both bands share a love of emotive, winding leads as well.
The singer has a clear and powerful voice. It's legible and deep at the same time. It's a very strong focal point for the band to have and he puts in a commanding performance.
The music is equally strong and commanding though and ultimately this is the real star on Infinite. The build/release nature of Post-Metal is present and correct, although Amniac are probably a bit heavier than some who play this style, with chuggy Metal riffs and Sludge influences thrown into the melting pot.
Amniac seem to have a firm grasp of good songwriting skills and of what makes a good riff. The guitars are very emotive and manage to carry the emotional content well whilst retaining that strong and forceful side.
This is a very accomplished album, especially for a début; lots of thought and skill has clearly gone into its composition.
Give Amniac a listen. Highly recommended.

Nero Di Marte – Derivae (Review)
Nero Di Marte are from Italy and play Progressive Metal. This is their second album.
This is complex and dense music. There's a lot of substance here, a lot to take in. Nero Di Marte are not your conventional band; they do things differently.
Rather than catchy riffs or hooks, instead they play riffs that merge and flow with each other to build up a complex tapestry over time. As the songs progress it becomes clear very early on that a lot of thought has gone into these compositions.
This is modern, heavy Prog; more akin to Gojira, Mastodon and Memories of a Dead Man than Dream Theater. This isn't Post-Metal, but the band borrow the sense of dynamics and momentum-building that Post-Metal does so well and fuses them into their own sound.
These are masterfully crafted tracks that are as engaging as they are entrancing. The low-key vocals almost get lost in the churning maelstrom of guitars and percussive treats, yet they're there, they add a lot to the already busy music and they help the band connect to the listener in a very visceral way.
Derivae sounds very warm, with the drums in particular having a very satisfying feel to them. This feels like real music, not just something pieced together and let loose with minimal feeling.
Overall, this is a thunderously strong album.
A rewarding and entrancing listen.

Memories Of A Dead Man – Ashes Of Joy (Review)
Memories Of A Dead Man are from France and play Modern Progressive Metal.
Here we have a band that merges Metal, Post-Metal, Hardcore and Sludge into one big compelling whole.
This is ambitious music that has the talent to back it up. This is Modern Progressive Metal in the style of Gojira or the excellent Eryn Non Dae – both also French; I wonder if there's some strange conspiracy to inflict interesting, thoughtful music on the world…? Where do I sign up?
The songs meander and bruise, wander and startle. A pounding rhythm section backs up emotive guitar riffs and a voice like leather. At least that's when the singer's not softly crooning at you that is, which he doesn't do very regularly but when he does it sounds very intimate.
The band will take you on a journey through melancholic atmospheres surrounded by walls of guitars and heavy riffs. The length of the songs work in favour of the band as they make the most of the freedom allowed them, irrespective of genre constraints or rules.
Music like this is full of ideas and quirks, whether it's as simple as a certain riff in one song or the addition of female operatic vocals in another; the band create an impressive soundscape in which to dwell, and invite you to come join them and sample their world.
Memories Of A Dead Man have crafted a modern Metal treasure with Ashes of Joy. Let's hope many people get to find it.
This is music for adventurers and explorers.

Super Massive Black Holes – Calculations of the Ancients (Review)
Canadian band Super Massive Black Holes play Experimental/Progressive Jazzy Death Metal, and this is their début album.
This is bright and shiny music that's technical but also slightly whimsical in nature; there's something of the Devin Townsend about it.
The band manage to mix disparate elements of Devin Townsend, Opeth, Ephel Duath, Gojira and Cephalic Carnage; schizoid jazzy breakdowns, atmospheric interludes, Stoner vibe rockathons, pseudo-Grind workouts and heavy melodic cyber Metal all collide on this album.
The songs are surprisingly cohesive for all this. Sometimes an idea or a section can feel a bit half-formed or unfinished, however, although from the sound of it this could very well be intentional; to keep the listener guessing or to stop them becoming complacent?
The vocals are mainly between a shout and a growl, with the vocalist reminding a little of the singer of Gorod, or even Gojira on occasion, only not quite as emotive.
I like this album, although it definitely needs time to reveal its charms and won't be to all tastes. Give them a listen and see what you think.

Q: Deactivating swap error on shutdown I randomly get deactivating Swap error on shutdown.My swap partition is on an ATA disk in an usb enclosure and connected to the laptop via usb.Its always mounted on boot and there is no problem with that.
Can anyone help me in answering if thats the cause? And if its indeed, any workaround?
Thanks for reading this.

A: Modern SSDs don't have a problem with swap. Either add an AC power supply to your external disk, or move swap to your SSD. With only 4G RAM, it will swap. Create/update your swap to 4G minimum.
Verify proper swap operation by using the free -h or swapon command.
Update #1:
Creating a /swapfile on the SSD will require four things...

*

*properly create /swapfile or swap partition

*edit /etc/fstab, change any existing swap lines with current UUID, or for /swapfile to:
/swapfile    none    swap    sw      0   0

*edit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume if it exists

*

*sudo -H gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume

*sudo update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)

*edit /etc/default/grub and check for resume= kernel parameters

*

*sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

*sudo update-grub
Update #2:
Video rendering problems. With only 4G RAM, setting vm.swappiness=30 is absolutely wrong.
You really need more RAM. Always add RAM in matched pairs, so that the system can take advantage of memory interleaving. So, if you've got one 4G DIMM now, add a matching 4G DIMM. Or, replace the 4G DIMM with two 8G DIMMs.
We'll try and reset your vm.swappiness to a more reasonable value for your current memory size...
Set vm.swappiness=80 (based on 4G RAM and 10G SWAP), this way...
sudo -H gedit /etc/sysctl.conf # edit this file
Search for an existing vm.swappiness= entry...
CTRL+f vm.swappiness

*

*If found, edit it to say vm.swappiness=80

*If not found, add vm.swappiness=80 at the end of the file
Save your edits and quit gedit
sudo sysctl -p

Q: How to add "nd" in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio At the moment I have, for example, a row like this in the DB:
Name       floor         building
Paul D.    32nd floor    C

Now I need to change "32nd floor" to "32nd floor"
If I directly copy paste it in the row in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio I lose the format and it's just "nd" as normal text.
Also tried it with:
UPDATE [Temp].[dbo].[OfficeFloor]
SET [floor]='32nd floor'
WHERE [Name] = 'Paul D.';

But I don't know how to add nd in the update query...
Is this even possible in SQL Server?

A: The formatting of a value in a column is supposed to be the responsibility of the
application when data is presented and not the database. This aspect has to do with an important principle in the relational model ( which forms the very basic of T-SQL) called Physical Data Independence.
The data type say varchar of floor column is a property of the value stored in the database, and the internal storage format shouldn't be your concern.

A: I can add it with this code:
UPDATE [Temp].[dbo].[OfficeFloor]
SET [floor]= '32' + nchar(0x207F) + nchar(0x1d48) + ' floor'
WHERE [Name] = 'Paul D.';
