And the name games continue...
Yesterday, a different version of Friday's post, It's all in a name appeared as a letter in the Taipei Times. A copy of the Taipei Times letter appears below. In Friday's post we pointed out how the media can subtly influence the perception of something by their choice of name. The old story of story of what some call hero others call villain.
On Friday we pointed out how the Taipei Times seems to box anyone who speaks out over, or protests over an issue linked to the environment as an "environmentalist" or "activist" or "conservationist" or some other "ism." Create the impression that just greeny-hippie-bunny-hugger-types are up in arms. The lunatic fringe again! When in fact it is Joe Citizen and it's civic groups, concerned residents, teachers, academics, parents, farmers and so the list could go on. They are people we relate to. They are everyday regular folk. They are us. And they've had enough of polluted skies, fields and waterways. They've had enough of greed and corruption and they want it to stop.
Yet again today we see another Taipei Times article (Petrochemical project slammed by protest group) about a protest over the fourth expansion project at Formosa Plastics Corp's sixth naphtha cracker complex in Mailiao Township, Yunlin County. And once again we learn that was those pesky "local environmental activists" again. There's that subtle boxing to create the impression it's the lunatic fringe again. Yes, they do name some of the groups represented at the protest. And right at the end, almost as a footnote, we learn that there actually were more than 30 civic groups from across the country. But in those all important opening paragraphs we read "protest" "small" "local environmental activists."
We learn nothing really about what they are protesting about beyond the most obvious. Some of the seemingly dirty underhanded ways the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) was passed are touched on but no mention of Formosa Plastics horrendous environmental track record even gets a mention. No mention of all the recent fires. No mention of how they have attacked freedom of speech with their recent SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) where two Formosa Plastics affiliates filed a lawsuit against Professor Tsuang Ben-jei (莊秉潔) of National Chung Hsing University's (NCHU) department of environmental engineering because they claim that he said emissions from FPG's sixth naphtha cracker plant in Yunlin County's Mailiao Township (麥寮) resulted in a higher cancer occurrence rate amongst nearby residents which has injured FPG's reputation. Yeah, the criminal suit brought by two Formosa Plastics affiliates that are also investors in the Mailiao off shore facility has been dismissed – i.e., non indictment. FPG can "appeal." However, a civil suit is still pending.
None of this makes it into the article. No mention of the threats that the likes of the Mailiao plant pose to local residents both human and non human like the critically endangered Taiwan pink dolphins.
Why? Why is the article so selective in what it reports? It's obvious that the protesters aren't getting a boost from the media for their cause. So who is?
Taipei Times letter- July 30, 2012.
It's all in the name
What one calls a terrorist another calls a liberator. It is all in the name; how those who hold power or desire power wish the masses to perceive something. The media obviously plays its part in all this.
Take the Taipei Times article "Environmentalists protest over EIA" (July 26, page 3). Environmentalists? Images of long-haired hippie types stuck in a 1960s mindset rambling on about free love and Mother Earth come to mind. And I am pretty sure that is just what some politicians, developers and corporations want you to think. "Yeah, the lunatic fringe up in arms again causing disruptions!"
The first paragraph of the article read as follows:
"Environmentalists yesterday protested against an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for an expansion project at a naphtha cracker complex that failed to include fine particles."
You would be forgiven for thinking it was just those pesky environmentalists that have a problem with an environmental impact assessment for the fourth phase expansion project at Formosa Plastics Corp's sixth naphtha cracker complex in Yunlin County's Mailiao Township (麥寮). Some group of crazy green bunny-huggers whining about fine particles not being listed.
Now, let us delete "environmentalists" and give a more accurate description of those that typically are present at these protests against the expansion projects down in Mailao:
"Concerned local residents, civic groups, fishers, farmers, workers, teachers, academics, parents, lawyers, doctors, conservation and environmental groups yesterday protested against an EIA for an expansion project at a naphtha cracker complex that failed to include fine particles."
OK, it is a bit long, but you get the point. It sounds different, doesn't it? It changes things. We relate to these people. They are us. They do not sound so loony.
However, the Taipei Times so often boxes these regular folks and organizations as "environmentalists" or "activists" or some other "ism." I am sure the so-called developers must smile at this subtle eroding of Joe Citizen's image and credibility.
You see. It is not just environmentalists that are pissed off with Formosa Plastics and its toxic hell down in Mailiao. After all the pollution, fires, greed and lack of ethics, after soaring cancer rates, dirty air and smokey gray skies, people have had enough. They want to know why the Environmental Protection Agency allows this toxic nightmare to continue.
However, others would have you believe it is just some nutty environmentalists who have a problem with it.

It's all in a name
Formosa Plastics at Mailiao in Yunlin County in all its toxic glory.
To the Nazis they were terrorists, subversives and a host of other evil sounding names. The Allies called them resistance fighters, partisans, patriots and freedom fighters. And so often through history what one calls a terrorist the other calls liberator. It's all in the name; how those that hold power or desire power wish the masses to perceive something. The media obviously plays its part in all this.
Take this story from today's Taipei Times. The headline reads "Environmentalists protest over EIA." Environmentalists? Images of long-haired-hippy-types stuck in a 60s mindset rambling on about free love and Mother Earth come to mind. And I'm pretty sure that that is just what they want you to think. Yeah, the lunatic fringe up in arms again causing disruptions.
The first three paragraphs of the Taipei Times article read as follows:
"Environmentalists yesterday protested against an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for an expansion project at a naphtha cracker complex that failed to include fine particles.
The EIA for the fourth expansion project at Formosa Plastics Corp's sixth naphtha cracker complex in Yunlin County's Mailiao Township (麥寮) did not list PM2.5 (fine particles less than 2.5 micrometers) as an item in the evaluation.
Before the impact assessment meeting, environmentalists gathered in front of the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and called on committee members to reject a proposal to once again expand the plant."
You're to be forgiven for thinking it was just those pesky environmentalists that have a problem with an environmental impact assessment for the fourth phase expansion project at Formosa Plastics Corp's sixth naphtha cracker complex. Some group of crazy bunny-huggers on about fine particles not being listed.
Now, if you would allow me, let's change a few words in just the first paragraph of the article to read:
"Concerned local residents, civic groups, fishers, farmers, teachers, parents, lawyers, doctors and conservation and environmental groups yesterday protested against an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for an expansion project at a naphtha cracker complex that failed to include fine particles."
Sounds different doesn't it. It changes things. We relate to these people. They are us. They don't sound so looney.
You see. It's not environmentalists that are pissed off with Formosa Plastics and its toxic hell at Mailiao in Yunlin County. After all the pollution, fires, greed and lack of ethics. After soaring cancer rates, dirty air and smokey grey skies people have had enough. They want to know why the EPA keeps allowing this toxic nightmare to continue. But others would have you believe it was just some nutty environmentalists who have a problem with it.
Shocking Truth: The fatal reality of entanglement and bycatch for the Taiwan Pink Dolphins
Summer is here and once again researchers are out collecting data on the critically endangered Taiwan pink dolphins. In a few short years we've watched as best estimates have gone well below 99 for the total population with the likelihood of around 70 individuals being where this unique population is now at...or should we be saying, "was" because obviously that data is based on data from previous years.
At the 2007 international workshop on the pink dolphins scientists identified five major threats to the Taiwan pink dolphins:
- by-catch in fishing gear;
- reclamation of estuarine and coastal regions for industrial purposes;
- diversion and extraction of freshwater from major river systems of western Taiwan;
- release of industrial, agricultural and municipal effluent into rivers and coastal waters;
- noise and disturbance associated with construction, shipping and military activities.
We know what the threats and problems are. They are obvious and you really don't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that unless something is done about these dolphins now they are going to become extinct very quickly. The extinction of the Baiji in 2007 shows just how fast a dolphin species can become extinct. There is more than enough evidence to show that the situation is critical. If we don't act now it will be too late! But the powers-that-be aren't acting. They demand more evidence and data in what can only be seen as a stalling tactic and the only beneficiary of that are those milking the resources of the west coast; heavy industry and fisheries.
We know that entanglement and by-catch is taking a grim toll on these dolphins. Two dead pink dolphins have washed up on the west coast since September 2009. There are rumors of other instances where dolphins have been killed through by-catch but I hear you say, "Ah, those are rumours! Where's the proof?" But do we need such proof as that of a rotting carcass? We have two. There is overwhelming evidence that by-catch and entanglement is happening. The evidence is there for us to see. Because this occurs at sea there isn't always going to be a rotting carcass washed up on the beach. We can look at the the collected data and see that by-catch is happening and that unless something is done about it these dolphins are going to fall victim to the threat of by-catch so quickly that it would be unlikely they will survive another decade under the current onslaught. And it's happening so quickly that the data isn't going to show the trend until we are well and truly beyond the point of no return.
Here are some photos from this year:
TW-04 (aka "Humpy") was seen on 1st July sporting a new large scar on its tailstock (the deepest cut visible) probably from entanglement with gillnet.
This calf was seen in early June with the entangled line and hasn't been seen since).
TW-88 was seen in early July in the Yunlin/Chiayi area. The lines on the two animals look like monofilament lines (most likely from gillnets).
Given these and all the other photos collected over previous seasons do we really need to use collecting more data on by-catch and entanglement as an excuse for not acting now?

Another shocking wounded Pink Dolphin photo!

Vinyl Rules, Tapes Drool: An Interview with Prostitution
Brooklyn black metallers Prostitution will be making the trek to Wallingford, CT's Cherry Street Station on January 15th to share the stage with Xenosis and Jimmy Junk Bird and the Stiffs. Guitarist Russ Cowen, bassist Jesse Adelson, and drummer Jason Spence talked with Alternative Control earlier this month about the band's new material, the benefits of being a trio, and more. See what they had to say below…
First, can you tell me a little about the band's history?
Russ: My singer from a previous band met Jesse at a wedding on Long Island. We all started jamming, with Jesse filling in on bass. Some folks dropped out and we got Ben Bloom on drums and formed Prostitution. Ben moved and Jason came on board, and here we are.
Jason: Prostitution was around for a few years before I joined up. In fact, I was in a couple of bands that gigged with them. We were at a party at Russ's place during a time when I was in between bands. Russ and Jesse were bummed that they weren't playing the Prostitution material anymore and we basically came to the conclusion that it was a brilliant idea for me to start learning the songs. I've been jamming with them for nearly a year now.
Jesse: They got that one right. We have all been in several bands and at the right time Jason was available to be our drummer after a almost two-year hiatus.
Your version of black metal has some really catchy moments. What is the band's songwriting process like? And who would you count as influences?
Russ: Oh boy. I dunno, sometimes somebody will come in with something and we will just hammer it into shape. Or we will just find something. I like Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones, 70s prog, 80s stuff… Blues guitar players of all kinds… The other guys listen to all sorts of thing. We just try to write good songs. I like catchy music.
Jesse: We mostly write on acoustics to make sure every note is heard. Distortion does just that, distorts the sound. We don't wanna pass any BS on anyone just because it's heavy. Our influences range. Mine are David Bowie, Queen, The Blood Brothers, and 80s synth pop.
Jason: I haven't written much with them yet. Jesse sent me a handful of songs, I basically learned Ben's parts and modified them to fit my style. So far, writing consists of someone bringing in parts and we work them out… Jam them to see if it fits and where it fits. I suppose when we write, my main influences range from Gojira to 80s British pop rock to Black Sabbath to bands like Behexen and Belphegor.
Self Titled – 7″ by Prostitution
Do you find any specific advantages or disadvantages to being a trio rather than a four or five-person band?
Jason: It's far easier to write music… Get parts down and it's nice to not have to rely on a 4th or 5th person to do things. My first band was a 3-piece and I honestly prefer it. Everything gets done faster… we can achieve a better feel and sound as a trio. Traveling is easier. The downside is that there is less of people to split the cost of all things that are band.
Jesse: More room for us to shine individually.
Russ: Trios get to stretch out more. I've always loved trios. The Police, Prong, ZZ Top, Rush… Also, less people, less hassle. Way to put the trio question as number 3. 😉
You guys have a mysteriously small amount of music streaming on the internet. Are there secret unposted recordings somewhere?
Russ: Yes, yes there are.
Jason: Yes. Yet to be revealed. Things are changing….
Jesse: We have some older recordings, but want to release new stuff with our newer drummer. 2016 for sure will see a new Prostitution release. We have put out two 7″s that look and sound tight as hell.
Listless by Prostitution
Your music is available on vinyl and digital download. Obviously everyone does digital downloads now, but why did you choose vinyl over CD or cassette (which seems to be the other "hip" thing, in addition to vinyl)? How did the vinyl sales go?
Russ: We are all vinyl enthusiasts. It seemed natural. Sales went well enough that we printed vinyl a second time… They just look really great.
Jason: Or vinyl sells rather well. Digital downloads are definitely the way to go. We will be doing some special things in that realm with the next recording. And, fuck releasing cassettes. I get the whole nostalgia thing. Listening to a side at a time. Blah… If you're going to spend money on something physical buy vinyl. It's a far better sound.
Jesse: Vinyl sales have gone pretty well. Vinyl rules, tapes drool.
You mentioned on Facebook that you're beginning to work on new material. How will the new stuff be different than the old stuff, or a progression from it?
Jason: I bring a slightly different sound into the mix. It's a bit heavier overall… A bit doomier… I have a heavy grindcore background so sometimes that shows.
Russ: Ah, you know, you try not to write the same song over and over. I try to think of what we don't do and then try to do that. There is a point where it's like, no more strummy minor chords…
Jesse: Heavier, more progressive, sluttier.
Prostitution was originally going to play Cherry Street with Xenosis in September. How did you get hooked up with those guys?
Jason: Through Owen Burley of (Jesse's other band) Beast Modulus. They met at MDF last year.
What is the metal scene like in Brooklyn?
Jesse: Tight knit. Everyone's down and supports each other. Lucky to be a part of it.
Russ: It's great. You know, metal people are gentle. Everybody is really friendly.
Jason: There's a ton of good bands making the rounds and a couple new venues have popped up lately that support the scene.
What are your proudest moments as a band?
Russ: Every now and again, we nail a part that we've been chasing around, playing crazy… And then it's fixed.
Jason: Our trip to PGH which resulted in us being stranded in the prostitution capital of the country, Carlisle, PA.
Jesse: Just the music we produce and the fun we have. High energy, melodic brutality. If it wasn't my band I would definitely go to every show. 🙂
Why did you call yourselves Prostitution?
Russ: It's such a good name. Clearly, we had no choice.
Jesse: It really is the best name, so it was an easy decision. Always wanted to name a band that.
For more from Prostitution, find them on Facebook and bandcamp — and get your ass out to Cherry Street on January 15th! Event info here.

Have you found yourself somehow stuck in the same position in your life over and over again?
Maybe you keep attracting the same type of guy, or you are hired for jobs that start off really promising, but the company turns out to be going under and you get laid off a year later.
Maybe you're constantly stuck in living situations with roommates that make your life hell.
This weekend, I had the opportunity to take a seminar with Andrrea Hess, psychic teacher and author of Unlock Your Intuition: How To Accurately and Reliably Access Your Most Valuable Resource to see if I could get some answers as to why some of us seem to get stuck in the same repeating patterns, and she had some pretty enlightening info.
According to Hess, who teaches her clients how to unlock the law of attraction in their lives, there are a few things we could be doing to actually cause these repeated problems in our lives, and a few things we can do to fix them.
Some of us actually believe that being in a position of lack is more valuable for us on a spiritual level. We think there are valuable lessons to learn from constantly being broke, sad, or lonely.
We may not be conscious of this belief, as it might have begun in childhood and is now taking affect in our adult lives.
To use an example from my own life, in order to feel more powerful as a child, I developed a belief that love was something I had to earn rather than believing I innately deserved it. I developed that belief because the people I depended on for unconditional love weren't in a position to give it to me, and that fact was too painful and scary to recognize at the time.
Maybe we grew up in a family that struggled financially, and we inherited a belief that we couldn't create abundance in our lives from within, but that it had to come to us from some outside force.
Until we recognize those beliefs and how they could be affecting us today, we will continue to feel powerless to change them.
Giving our power away to "the universe."
Even those of us who believe that we are the creators of our own life tend to shirk responsibility when it comes to the bad things, although not on purpose.
According to Hess, "We know we're doing something to create the same thing over and over, but we don't know HOW we're doing it, so the big mystery is, HOW did I create this?"
However, when we run into the same problem for the umpteenth time, instead of trying to answer the question of how we are causing our own problems, we give our power away to the universe, saying, "I guess the universe is trying to teach me a lesson."
This is actually a way to avoid responsibility for our problems, according to Hess, who believes that the law of attraction includes both negative and positive consequences.
You either believe you are a participant in your life and that things are happening to you, or you believe that you're the creator of your own life. If you choose to believe that you create your own life, that you are the God of your own experience, then you need to embrace responsibility for everything that shows up in it.
During her seminar this weekend, Hess talked about Karma, which she defines as "a mirror, where the energy of an action is matched by its consequence."
So how does that play a part in our repeated mistakes? Well, because the energy we put into an action will create the energy we get out of it.
Any choice we make out of fear will create fear. The choices we make out of need will create need, and the choices we make out of excitement will create excitement.
Put these theories to the test.
After attending her seminar, I tried putting the law of attraction to the test in small ways. I was feeling bored with my life when I first decided to attend her seminar, so I decided to make small choices out of excitement. I changed the location where I worked, and decided to try a new coffeeshop this morning.
When I got there, my friend spontaneously texted me to see if she could come write with me today. Already the excitement and fun in my life was starting to build.
I'd encourage you to try this, too. Once you've identified the belief that is creating a negative consequence in your life, start making the opposite choice.
If you are making choices out of need, make a choice out of generosity. Make your life an act of giving, and you just might see abundance start to flow in.
Keep a journal and write down the choices you make and the energy you were feeling when you made that choice. Then see what comes out of it, and write that down too.
That way, even the negative consequences of our actions are empowering.

Q: How to select json value json
 var employees ='{"skills":[{"category":"JavaScript","tests":[{"name":"One","score":90}, {"name":"Two","score":96}]},{"category":"CouchDB","tests":[{"name":"One","score":79},"name":"Two","score":84}]}]}';

jquery
 var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(employees);
 for(i=0; i<obj.skills[0].tests[0].length; i++)
 {
  alert(obj.skills.tests.name[i]);
  }

Hi Here i need is in alert i want output is
"one 90
two 96"
i want first test values to alert or print in ul li. any one help me.

A: Your test object is not a list but has 2 properties name and score:
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(employees);
var test0 = obj.skills[0].tests[0];
alert(test0.name+' '+test0.score);

To show for all tests of a skill:
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(employees);
var testi;
for(var i=0;i<obj.skills[0].tests.length;i++){
    testi = obj.skills[0].tests[i];
    alert(testi.name+' '+testi.score);
}

A: It would be best if you use _.forEach in lodash just to make it easy, however if you want to use native javascript find below.
ALso please note you have missed a opening braces i.e. "{" before

{  //this is not there
  "name":"Two",
  "score":84
  }

Solution
 var obj = JSON.parse(employees);
 for(i=0; i<obj.skills.length; i++)
 {
    var temp = obj.skills[i];
    for(j=0;j<temp.tests.lengh;j++)
    {
        var outputObj = temp.tests[j];
        alert(outputObj.name+" "+outputObj.score);
    }

 }

If you dont want output of all skills then remove outer forloop i.e.
var obj = JSON.parse(employees);

for(j=0;j<obj.skills[0].tests.lengh;j++)
{
    var outputObj = temp.tests[j];
    alert(outputObj.name+" "+outputObj.score);
}

A: use .each in jquery
 var employees = {
    "skills": [{
        "category": "JavaScript",
            "tests": [{
            "name": "One",
                "score": 90
        }, {
            "name": "Two",
                "score": 96
        }]

    }]
};

$.each(employees.skills, function (key, val) {

    for (var i in val.tests) {

        alert(val.tests[i].name);
        alert(val.tests[0].score);
    }
});

A: As from comment above by Satpal you missed the [0] in the loop, so that you cant able to alert data. So use like below
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON(employees);
var test;
for(var i=0;i<obj.skills[0].tests.length;i++){
test = obj.skills[0].tests[i];
alert(test.name+' '+test.score);

}

Hope this helps...

Just like DevOps is a culture that involves continuous integration, a DevOps engineer's career is a process of continuous learning through experience. You may delve into books and YouTube courses explaining the optimal software delivery process or dev tests in practice, but you have to do it in a real-life production environment to understand it.
That is why if you want to progress as a DevOps you need to join the right team. A team that uses state-of-the-art tools, works with the same methodology, uses the same processes as global tech leaders such as Amazon, Google or LinkedIn, and embraces the role rotation model. Ideally, a team within an organization that gives you an opportunity to work on different application development projects, from various sectors of the economy, and on different scales. We are building such a team at Netguru.
At Netguru different operations teams work together on various projects, and discuss possible solutions.
Career stagnation is a serious problem for many experienced sysadmins. The reason is simple - in most cases, they just become too comfortable with their well-paid jobs. If there's no fire, they have little to do, and doing nothing may be very pleasant in the short run, especially if you get your money. However, you pay the price for stagnation with time as your skills lose their market value. What's even worse, it's dead boring.
The DevOps revolution is changing the administrator's job. Even the best and the most experienced specialists will find their skills outdated if they don't learn the new methodology, release management processes, and the new tools. That is why it is a great career risk for DevOps engineers and administrators to stay in the same company too long if the organization they work for doesn't keep up with the global standards.
How to stay relevant? You need to progress - develop new skills and learn new solutions. You can start reading books by DevOps practitioners. You can start with one from this list of 13 publications. I would also recommend reading "The High Velocity Edge" by Steve Spear, a book that influenced many top tech companies. The author presents four organizational (and individual) capabilities, which make up Spear's model: seeing problems as they occur, swarming and solving problems, spreading new knowledge, and leading by developing. What is more, it is crucial for you to use the newest global cloud solutions in your everyday work (not only Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure). You need to learn how to control the disclosure of features, how to use feature flags to provide granular control that allows making changes without deployment, and progressive experimentation. This is a practice you will never learn in an organization using on-premises software.
To stay relevant, you need hands-on experience with the best DevOps tools and services. Our team loves experimenting with new solutions and we are constantly searching for new ways to improve performance and reliability as well as improve our productivity through automation. We also have our go-to stack which includes the most prominent DevOps tools - Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Datadog, Graylog, Let's Encrypt, PagerDuty, and various Amazon Web Services, such as RDS, EC2, ECS, ECR, CDN, S3, Route53, plus Certificate Manager.
The best way to achieve all the above goals in a quest to explore a new stack, meet more experienced people, and hop on a path leading to senior positions, is to join the right team. And now is the perfect time to land in a modern world-class DevOps team at Netguru and get a chance to be in the vanguard of a trend that is bound to become the future of system administration and software development. The DevOps transformation in Netguru is led by Kuba Jakubik, who took the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) Tech Lead position in Netguru after working as a Network SRE for Google in Ireland. Kuba is on a priority mission in Netguru. His job is to introduce the best SRE practices inspired by Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn. Kuba's responsible for spreading the DevOps culture throughout the organization and promoting close cooperation among admins and developers. The goal is to create the best DevOps team in the region (at the very least).
This is one of our main assumptions. The sysadmins should understand the product - the technology and business goals - while the developers should know the infrastructure, including where and how their containers are arranged. This is an essential part of Netguru's collaborative culture. There are so many different configurations of tools available. We want different operations teams to work together, talk, and discuss possible solutions. The Agile software development revolution has changed the rules. Engineers need to have interdisciplinary knowledge, and this means successful DevOps need to learn the trade of coders. Fortunately, it will come naturally when you join the right team.
At Netguru, we don't just use the buzzwordy tech. We choose the tech and processes we really believe in. Just like in the past we embraced agile, continuous delivery, and remote collaboration, and build the whole company on it, today we fully embrace 99.999 reliability as a goal and infrastructure as a code as a long-term solution. We build our DevOps culture at Netguru using a continuous improvement approach. This is especially important as even organizations that made the effort to implement continuous delivery may fall into the trap of a drifting or coasting mentality.
It may be a challenge for project managers and even software developers to work on many projects for different clients. We know that they often dream about working on a single long-term product they can improve and watch grow... However, it's a different story with DevOps. A prosperous world-class software development company may just be the perfect environment for them. By working for many clients, you get to know various technologies - such as Ruby on Rails, Python, Node.js, and machine learning frameworks. You can see how these solutions perform under different circumstances as your team is responsible for diverse projects: from a bike-sharing mobile app in New York City, through a leading FinTech in Berlin, to a medical repository for hospitals and clinics.
What's more, Netguru's DevOps team rotates roles every week. Once you are a fireman on standby duty with a pager in your pocket, then you embrace a proactive role in planning and building new apps and engines, and eventually, you get a week for your personal development, when you can learn the tools your team or other Netguru teams use. The process we use at Netguru DevOps team is based on three pillars: making sure everyone understands the individual and global goals, using feedback loops, and transparent communication.
Collaborative culture is an essential part of Netguru's identity.
Certificates are not necessary, but we are happy to see our DevOps engineers getting Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure credentials. As with all Netguru teams, we encourage everyone to participate in meetups. We really believe in communication and collaboration.
This is how we see it. From our perspective, joining an international organization with remote teams in its blood and working of dozens of top-tier advanced projects simultaneously can really help you progress as a DevOps engineer. We are building a new team inspired by the practices of Google, Amazon, and LinkedIn. It may be the right time to join us.

Then and now: 'What's in a place name? - Tom Aherne
Tom Aherne
John O'Donovan recorded the Irish language names of the places in the 1840s
I HAVE always been interested in our local place names, and wondered how did those Irish towns and villages which we know today get their names?
Most of them have a romantic ring to them, and it is not always easy to find the true origin of those old Gaelic place names. One thing we can be glad about is that our Gaelic heritage has survived despite the inroads the stranger made into our little isle of green.
Our Irish place names have survived throughout the land as a whole whereas the language sad to say has not. Saints and churches, trees animals' hills and rocks are all embedded in Irish place names. So too, are family names remembered in many towns villages townlands and crossroads all round Ireland .
Most Irish cities, towns and villages today have what we call anglicised names. Yet, before the British occupation of Ireland, Irish were referred to in Gaelic, both in the written and spoken word. Some of the true meanings of many of these towns and cities are, however, lost in the mists of time. Even in modern day Ireland the meaning of some of these names can be vague. Even today, many Irish towns and villages are known to bear both Gaelic and anglicised forms of their names.
It is rather sad to think that today, so few people know the history of their own place, or how it got its name or meaning. It is never too late for those of you who had never to leave home to find out all about where you live. Sad to say , too much of our local history was carried away to other lands, by those who were forced to emigrate in times gone by. This knowledge which people had was taken to the grave with them when they died. It is lost and gone forever, simply because it was never written down.
When someone asks us where we come from, we readily name the place where we live. If the person asking seems none the wiser, then we usually name a much bigger place nearby in order to help them locate it. But it is sometimes less easy to describe exactly what sort of place we live in as people often have a quite different understanding or notion of that. There are many different land divisions that go to make up a county and a country.
A hamlet is a small village usually without a church, and a settlement is a place or area occupied by settlers (or a small village). A village is a group of houses and associated buildings larger than a hamlet and smaller than a town and usually in a rural area. Also be a self-contained district or community within a town or city regarded as having the characteristics of village life. A parish is an area having its own church or otherwise a Civil Parish is a district especially constituted for purposes of local government.
A town is a large urban area with a name and defined boundaries and its own local government being larger than a village and not created as a city. A city is strictly a large town which has been created a city by Royal Charter and containing a cathedral. A district is a division of a county or region electing its own councillors. A county is a territorial division of a country and a chief unit of administration.
Place names hold a fascination for Irish people and Irish people have a keen sense of place. It is important for us all to record the names and lore associated with our home place, and about how they got their names. As many ditches are being knocked and small fields are being made into large fields, many names are lost forever in the process. Unless these names are gathered together and preserved, they will surely die out. That would be a sorry loss to the nation's heritage.
One can also assume that underneath the layer of modern names lies a layer of older Irish names, that have been for the most part, lost when the farm changed hands and new names were coined. It is important to record these older names across the country where they still exist. When it comes to place names much of the knowledge is scattered amongst members of the community.
In Ireland the collection of place names began to occur in a systematic manner in the 19th century when the first Ordnance Survey maps were being drawn up. These maps were being important for the British government, not out of an interest in the place name heritage of this country, but out of the desire to know exactly where the boundaries between townlands were so that the country could be managed more effectively at an administrative level, fully taxed for example.
Thousands of names were collected in the process of this mapping project. Those who gave the names to the surveyors back in the 1840s, were often the owners of large estates, the local clergy, and others held in high esteem. John O'Donovan was employed to record the Irish language names of the places in question. He was an Irish language scholar and his judgement is accepted as highly dependable. The notebooks compiled by the surveyors including John's work came to be known as the Ordnance Survey Name Books or even the John O'Donovan Name Books. Microfilm versions of these notebooks can be consulted in the National Archives in Dublin and in our universries and county libraries.
Local libraries will have information on collections made in each county as well as collections of names from historic documentation and published works as well as unpublished materials from private individuals in their local studies section.
There is also the very large volume of place names to be found in the School's Folklore Collection (1938) in the department of Irish Folklore for each county and generally available on microfilm in county libraries. By studying place names you are trying to work out what the people back then were saying, and it does connect you with your ancestors. It can be enjoyable as some of these names are so poetic and expressive.

Q: CDI Programmatic lookup exception (InjectionPoint) I'm confronting to a bug on my TomEE server. The CDI dynamic lookup doesn't work as planned.
Especially when the bean i want to look up is produced by a factory (@Produces) with the InjectionPoint as parameter.
Here is a simple example of my problem.
The Qualifier @RandomNumber
@Qualifier
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE })
public @interface RandomNumber {

@Nonbinding
int min() default 0;

@Nonbinding
int max() default 10;
}

His Literal RandomNumerLiteral
public class RandomNumberLiteral extends AnnotationLiteral<RandomNumber> implements RandomNumber {

private final int   min;

private final int   max;

public RandomNumberLiteral(final int min, final int max) {

    this.min = min;
    this.max = max;
}

@Override
public int max() {

    return this.max;
}

@Override
public int min() {

    return this.min;
}

}

The Factory method (POJO)
@Produces
@RandomNumber
public Integer producesNumber(final InjectionPoint ip) {

final int min = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(RandomNumber.class).min();
final int max = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(RandomNumber.class).max();

return (new Random().nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min);
}

The test class (the select result of the dynamic lookup is neither ambiguous nor unsatisfied)
public class Test {

@Inject
@RandomNumber(min = 20, max = 50)
private Integer                         random;

@Inject
@Any
private Instance<Integer>               randomInstance;

public void test() {
    System.out.println("Random1: " + this.random);
    System.out.println("Random2: " + this.randomInstance.select(new RandomNumberLiteral(20,50)).get());
}
}

The first statement is working fine but for the second i got an exception:
javax.ejb.EJBException: The bean encountered a non-application exception; nested exception is:

Ask fellow campers about "La Salle Lake State Recreation Area" and nearby attractions.
We wanted to visit Lake Itasca and see the headwaters of the Mississippi. I had been looking for a site within the Lake Itasca State Park for two nights, and could not find any single site available for the two nights that we wanted. The campgrounds require online booking, and there is a booking fee for each reservation unless you make the booking on the day that you are checking in. I had decided that I would book the first night on the morning we were to check in and the second night on the next morning, when I was looking on AllStays and noticed that there was another state campground, La Salle Lake State Recreation Area, just 10 miles away - and it had plenty of availability and full hookups - for just a few dollars more a night ($37/night + $7/day vehicle pass). We did the online booking on the day we were going to check in so saved the $8.50 booking fee. The La Salle Lake campground was very nice - long sites with decent separation from neighbors (and since it was sparsely occupied, we didn't have anyone in the sites on either side of us). The camp host came to greet us and was very neighborly in being willing to answer questions or provide help if needed. When we first parked in our site, we were a bit unlevel side-to-side but then realized that there was a crown to the site and if we straddled it we would be in better shape. We camped at La Salle Lake State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.
Visit Lake Itasca State Park and the Mississippi headwaters and visitors center. Get groceries before you come (there is a Walmart in Park Rapids where we boondocked the night before checking in so we had less than an hour's drive to get to the campground - but that would have been a long drive if we'd needed to go back for groceries). Walk down to La Salle Lake and enjoy the quiet.
This was previously a private, mostly seasonal, park before the state bought it. Single lane road in and out with turn-around at end, would be impossible for two campers to pass each other on most of the road. A few sites are reasonably level but most are difficult. Trees and site# signposts make entry and exit challenging. We could exit our site only by driving across the next site's grass. Other than these issues, it's a great campground....peaceful and quiet, convenient to Itasca State Park, 30 minutes from Bemidji (groceries, laundry and fuel). Wifi is excellent (and free). Entry to LaSalle Lake is about half a mile west off the main road. The lake is suitable for kayaking, canoeing and small fishing boats (10 mph speed limit) but has challenging boat entry. Trail from campground to lake is .3 mile long and quite a hill. Cannot see lake from campground. Campground employee said the state plans to expand and improve the place but no date on when that would happen. He also said the campground usually has vacancies during the week but weekends are always full so reservations are important. We camped at La Salle Lake State Recreation Area in a Fifth Wheel.
When Minnesota increased their state park fees on 7/1/2017 they made annual passes free for disabled veterans, even non-residents. If you fall into this category, get an annual pass sticker at the Itasca State Park visitor center. The history museum and Lyle's Logging Camp exhibit in Cass Lake are well worth a visit.
Very nice FHU back in sites with fire pit and picnic table. 5 miles from Itasca State Park..same entry pass gets you into both parks. Itasca Park Campgrounds were full midweek, La Salle had over 30 sites open. Restrooms with private showers and laundry available on site. We camped at La Salle Lake State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.
All the features of Itasca State Park are 5 miles away. Headwaters of the Mississippi River and Douglas Lodge for meals.
Nice park with widely spaced sites. Many sites are not level enough for our auto level to work. We moved three times to find a site where we could level the rig. Once leveled and hooked up, very nice. It was a good thing the park was mostly empty; would have been a disaster if it were full. The state park reservation system leaves a lot to be desired. You can reserve a site online but someone can drive in and fill out a reservation card and park in that spot and you have no recourse. No lights at night; very dark with clouds or no moon. All sites are back-in. Can be a challenge given all the trees and signposts.
The state requires a $5.00 per day sticker on all vehicles entering the park so that should be added to the price. We camped at La Salle Lake State Recreation Area in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice setting near Itaska Sate Park. Sites well spaced and long back-ins. Good road within park. Quiet. Well maintained. All sites are full hookup. Good shade but many spots (1 thru 8) will allow satellite reception. Most sites slightly un-level gravel. About 30 minutes to Bemidji and 10 minutes to Itasca state park. We will be back. We camped at La Salle Lake State Recreation Area in a Motorhome.
Excellent biking paths and other activities at Itasca State park.
Are you affiliated with La Salle Lake State Recreation Area ?

After all the Jess and Dan drama, Ines and Sam seemed like a distant memory. But for Ines, the heartbreak was still raw. She finally confronted a lying Sam, accusing him of leading her on and dubbing him "scum" in a heated showdown in front of the group.
Ines had once had high hopes for Sam. At her final Commitment Ceremony, she wrote "Leave" eager to be with Sam outside of the experiment. However, Sam, who was all too happy to talk about olives and do some bed tossing, actually started sweating when Ines began talking about having a relationship with him. Her last chat with him had been her telling him she was all in, and Sam responding that he liked her too, privately admitting it was all a bit "full on".
At the Commitment Ceremony, Sam came clean about the affair – to a point. He also shut down any chance of a long-term future with Ines, and Ines watched her breakup play out in public.
"I wouldn't care if Sam dropped off the face of the earth," she said bluntly, but at the reunion Dinner Party, Ines was disgusted to see Sam merrily sipping wine and catching up with old pals.
Sam had his story and he was sticking to it, as he recollected being "honest and truthful" with Ines and Lizzie – at the same time – right through his time in the experiment. Hearing Sam deny anything happened between them enraged Ines, who had zero recollection of having merely gone on a date with Sam, only to have him tell her they had no connection and future.
She recalled how Sam had told her they would live together and continue the relationship on their own terms, only to be blindsided by him publicly dumping her and exposing his version of the truth at their final Commitment Ceremony.
Irritated he was escaping unscathed, Ines sat herself next to Sam at the dinner table. As he started to squirm, she asked how he thought the Reunion would play out. Sam assured her they would be fine, adding that the pair had been open and honest with their partners. Ines pondered that, questioning just how honest he had been with her.
Snapping into full Destiny's Child mode, Ines was on a roll. "Do you understand me?" she said, eyeballing Sam, who had started his trademark sweating under pressure.
"What are you doin'?" he choked, aware he was about to cop the confrontation he had been dodging all night.

Sam asked her to relax but Ines was heated. "You're a liar," she smirked. "Everyone sees through your bullsh*t," she added, as Lizzie, watching on, supressed a smile.
"Are you HEARING yourself?" she said, as Sam suggested she was bringing drama upon herself. "Don't you EVER make me question my worth, you liar!" she shouted, standing up and allowing Jess to lead her away. "Piece of scum," she finished.
"This whole time I've protected him because he manipulated me," she revealed sadly.
Show downs, confrontations and a break up.


I dont know if i told you this but i didnt collect anyones emails or mailing addresses before i left, so i dont even have Cassidys home mailing address. i think i would prefer to send it to her home in cardston anyways. So if you could send me that address… that would be splendiferous and i would really appreciate it.
Thats craziness!! dad shot a bear and the Bishopric got released in the same week?? I had completely forgotten that Bishop Leavitts time was coming to a close but thats exciting to hear that you got another excellent Bishop to replace him!! I love Bishop leavitt alot so it will be a little weird to come home to bishop Nunn haha but im sure he will do a great job. And i wouldnt worry to much about your callings in the church there Dad. Like Elder Oaks said in the Last general Conference about the stake president that he released that soon got the calling to be a nursery teacher and how only in this cjurch can that be seen as equally honorable. So i wouldnt worry to much about your calling because any calling in the church has you in the service of the Lord. Even Folding and unfolding chairs on saturday and sunday is a great calling haha.
This past week was a little Crazy. I left Ladysmith to go to my new area in Lesotho, But unfortunately, no missionaries are allowed to go into the country because the Military tried to over throw the government. I think its called a couexx…. im not sure how you spell it…. But as of right now im serving in an Area called botshabelo which is not to far from kimberely my first area and is very close to Bloemfontein which is my first Zone. Haha i was surprised when i heard that i would be coming back to this zone, but everything is done by the wisdom of him who knoweth all things. My Companion is Elder Lime ( not lime. Pronounce it lee-meh) and he is from Kenya. We talk about Kenya a few times but we always agree, that im never going to kenya which is just fine with me. Ive grown to love this mission to much to leave it right now.
The work is going good but im also very tired from all the walking that we are doing haha I hope you guys have a good week!! And keep up the good reading in the Book Of Mormon Shae!!

The Union Home Ministry has given the last chance to the 4,842 institutes and organisations to retain their licences to receive foreign funding.
In a notification issued by the ministry, it is stated that to retain their registration under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), the institutes have to disclose their annual income and expenditure statements to the government by October 18, after paying penalty.
The institutes which are given final chance to continue their FCRA registration include IGNOU, Mumbai University, ICMR, Punjabi University, North Eastern Hill University, Pondicherry University, Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College and Indian Institute of Rural Development besides others.
It is mandatory for every organisation to be registered under FCRA to receive funds from abroad. Under the law, it is also compulsory for the organisations to submit their details regarding income and expenditure to the government annually else their registration will be cancelled.
According to the home ministry, FCRA registration of over 18,600 organisations and institutes were cancelled for not filing the returns during 2010-11 to 2014-15, despite serving repeated notices. The ministry had given the organisations a month's time between May 15 and June 17 of this year to file their returns. As many as 13,681 of them responded to the ministry's notices or filed their returns. However, 4,842 of these institutes and organisations did not respond despite repeated notices.
Now, for these 4,842 institutes and organisations, its the final opportunity to file the returns by October 18, the home ministry said.

Last Call For The Pen Is Mightier
The latest instance of pharmaceutical finagling (as the trend for drug makers is to buy an established company's patent on necessary medicine and then jack up the price by, say, 1000%) is the most popular drug used to save lives and prevent anaphylactic shock, the EpiPen.
The drug used to retail for about $30 for a portable injector used to deliver a life-saving dose of epinephrine used to counter extreme allergic reactions to things like shellfish or bee stings. People with deadly susceptibility to these allergens need this drug in case of emergency exposure.
But the maker of the drug, Mylan, is now charging hundreds and hundreds of dollars per dose, and that has gotten the attention of Congress and of outraged voters in a presidential election year. The condemnation has been swift of Mylan's CEO. Heather Bresch.
Did I mention Bresch's father is our old friend West Virginia Dem Sen. Joe Manchin? I didn't? Maybe that explains Bresch's rapid about face today, offering customers financial help.
Drug maker Mylan (MYL) said Thursday that it would offer discounts on a life-saving allergy shot after generating a firestorm when it implemented sharp price increases for the treatment.
The company said it would offer coupons covering up to $300 "for patients in health plans who face higher out-of-pocket costs" for the EpiPen Auto-Injector treatment.
Mylan also said it would double the income level at which families are eligible for assistance in purchasing the medication to 400% of the federal poverty level. The company said a family of four with income up to $97,200 won't pay out of pocket.
"As a mother, I can assure you, the last thing that we would ever want is no one to have their EpiPen due to price," Mylan CEO Heather Bresch said on CNBC in an interview. "Our response has been to take that immediate action of making sure everyone has an EpiPen."
The average wholesale price of EpiPen has increased by 500% since 2009, while the price that insurers and employers pay to Mylan is up 150% over that period. There's no generic equivalent and no brand-name competitor.
Politicians and patient advocates have criticized Mylan for the price increases, describing the company's actions as emblematic of the drug industry's unfair stranglehold on the market for life-saving treatments.
Bresch vigorously defended the price hikes, arguing that the U.S. health-care framework "incentivizes higher prices" through a complex thicket of drug companies, insurers, health-care providers and pharmacy benefit managers.
"There's no question, the system is broken," she said. "There's no transparency, there's no clarity and no one knows what anything costs."
Well, as people keep saying, there's a solution for that, and it's to take the profit motive our of medicine. Maybe enough of these stories where drugmakers charge five or ten or thirty times the price for a life-saving medicine might get people to demand change.
We'll see. Meanwhile, Mylan stock has tanked and the company has lost $3 billion in value and counting so far, so there's always the Invisible Hand Of The Market to smack people around with.

In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions
Clare Malone at Five Thirty Eight Politics asks:
Can Kellyanne Conway Get Donald Trump To Stop Alienating Women?
Short answer: No.
But it's not just Trump who is on message in the battle to win back women voters — it's Conway herself.
A highly visible television presence already, she projects calm in a campaign marked by bluster and brash comments so far off the cuff as to be in the armpit. In a campaign that has earned its keep through television, Conway's presence on nearly every political program of late seems as much a strategy as Trump's softening rhetoric on the stump. Paul Manafort, in his pinstripes and power ties, was an Old Spice television presence, not doing much to complicate the perception that the Trump team was filled with anything other than middle-aged men.
This is not to say that Conway is without her barbs. "You think you would know who Hillary Clinton is if she wasn't married to Bill Clinton?" she said in a recently released clip from an upcoming documentary. She told the same documentary crew that many live polls were miscalculating Trump support because of stigma. "It's become socially desirable, especially if you're a college-educated person in the U.S., to say that you're against Donald Trump," she said. That claim is dubious at best.
But Conway often mentions that she is a mother to "four young children" as she works through her television talking points. Conway says she doesn't like personal insults. She seems at times like a one-woman chorus chanting "one of us, one of us" at college-educated and married women who might just be tuning in. "Big fan of yours," Megyn Kelly told Conway at the end of an interview with her earlier this week.
"It's tough to be a woman in politics on either side of the aisle," Celinda Lake, Conway's co-author, told me. "She's very smart about how she negotiates that." Lake, who said Conway is "very smart about power and access," will undoubtedly be a force trying to shape Trump behind the scenes, but that her utility as a public-facing campaign entity is undeniable.
"Unlike the Breitbart guy, she's not going to cause you any trouble," Lake said, a reference to Bannon.
The only question lingering around Conway is a simple one, Lake said.
"Will Donald Trump really listen to her?"
Long answer:
"If someone shows you who they really are, believe them."
-- Maya Angelou
Donald Trump has spent years showing us who he really is, and you think he's going to change now?
No. That would explain today's brutal Quinnipiac Universrity poll now showing Clinton up nationally by double digits.
In the battle of the unloved presidential candidates, Democrat Hillary Clinton tops the magical 50 percent mark among American likely voters, leading Republican Donald Trump 51 - 41 percent, according to a Quinnipiac University National poll released today.
When third party candidates are added to the mix, Clinton gets 45 percent with Trump at 38 percent, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. This survey of likely voters can not be compared with results of earlier surveys of registered voters.
Women and non-white voters propel Clinton in the head-to-head matchup. Women back her 60 - 36 percent. Men back Trump 48 - 42 percent. White voters back Trump 52 - 41 percent. Non-white voters back Clinton 77 - 15 percent.
Also in that same poll, 90% of likely voters say they have made up their mind who they will vote for, so odds are extremely good that any changes Conway will bring to the Trump campaign are far too little and far too late.
"We are starting to hear the faint rumblings of a Hillary Clinton landslide as her 10-point lead is further proof that Donald Trump is in a downward spiral as the clock ticks," said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.
"Trump's missteps, stumbles and gaffes seem to outweigh Clinton's shaky trust status and perceived shady dealings. Wow, is there any light at the end of this dark and depressing chapter in American politics?"
Tick. Tick. Boom.

North Carolina Goes Down The Crapper, Con't
If this week's Monmouth University poll of North Carolina is any indication, GOP Gov. Pat McCrory's re-election bid is in real trouble.
In the contest for governor, Democratic Attorney General Roy Cooper holds a significant 52% to 43% lead over incumbent Pat McCrory. Another 3% say they will vote for Libertarian Lon Cecil and 3% are undecided.
Cooper has the support of 93% of Democratic voters, while McCrory gets the backing of 89% of Republicans. Independents are divided at 47% for Cooper and 45% for McCrory. Cooper has a net positive personal rating of 38% favorable and 18% unfavorable, with 44% expressing no opinion of him. McCrory's personal rating is more divided at 39% favorable and 41% unfavorable, with 20% having no opinion of him.
Importantly, Tar Heel voters are split on the incumbent's performance as governor, with 45% approving of the job McCrory has done and 46% disapproving. A key element in the governor's rating is his support for House Bill 2 or HB2, the controversial law that prohibits local governments from allowing for transgender public restrooms.
A majority of voters (55%) disapprove of HB2 compared to fewer than 4-in-10 (36%) who approve of HB2. Among voters who approve of the law, 74% are backing McCrory in the governor's race. Among those who disapprove of it, 72% are voting for Cooper.
"McCrory is trying to take control of the HB2 debate with a new TV ad. As of right now, though, North Carolina voters feel it has hurt the state, which is helping Cooper's bid to unseat the incumbent," said Murray.
The Monmouth University Poll found that 7-in-10 voters (70%) feel the passage of HB2 has been bad for North Carolina's reputation nationally. Only 9% say it has been good for the state's image and just 14% say it has had no impact. Even among those who approve of the law itself, 41% say HB2 has been bad for the state's reputation compared to 21% who say it has been good and 28% who say it has had no impact.
The poll also shows Hillary Clinton up by 2, and GOP Sen. Richard Burr up by 2 in his re-election run against Deborah Ross, and even with the poll's high 4.9% MOE, McCrory is definitely running behind.
In fact, regardless of the Monmouth poll, the news for McCrory, Burr, and other NC Republicans is looking pretty grim.
Although the state has voted for a Republican president all but twice since 1968, the national tea party wave in 2010 brought the state legislature and governor's mansion under Republican control for the first time since Reconstruction. North Carolina then moved rapidly to the right with several conservative reforms that caused an uproar among liberals in the state.
Now, over the last few weeks as the possibility of tough election losses sinks in, top Republicans and some donors — who have had much to celebrate over the last six years — are trying to plot contingency plans to make up for the lack of field organization and advertising dollars from the Republican Party's nominee to boost down-ballot candidates, sources say.
Their fear is that a Trump loss by more than four or five points could put a dent in the party's super majorities in the state legislature and a Democrat in the governor's mansion, reversing the political course of the state.
"I do think that people need to be very open eyed about what could potentially go wrong," said one such top Republican who has been involved in discussions. "The sky isn't falling, but it's cloudy and we need to get in gear. It's going to require a different level of organization and intervening from the top of the ticket than we've seen, and it's going to require support from outside groups."
So if support for Trump and McCrory starts to soften considerably, my home state could finally find the votes it needs to free itself from the Republicans who have been destroying it for the last six years.
Here's hoping.
