[Mrs. Joan Humble in the Chair]
Modification of approved programme
Question proposed [this day], That the clause stand part of the Bill.
Question again proposed.
Charles Hendry (Wealden) (Con): Welcome to the Chair, Mrs. Humble, for this afternoon's proceedings.
My concerns about clause 44 and subsequent clauses centre on the extensive power that they will give to the Secretary of State, and I hope that the Minister will shortly be in a position to give us greater clarity on the proposals.
Our principal concern is that companies that will be asked, or will volunteer, to build nuclear power stations will want as much clarity as possible. The clauses give the Secretary of State tremendous powers to alter what is required of those companies. Will the Minister give us information on the possible time scales? Do the clauses relate to programmes before decommissioning starts, or will the power relate to changing the decommissioning programme once it is in place? There could be a major difference in how it is applied.
What if significant extra costs are involved which the decommissioning fund is not initially set up to cover and the programme becomes very expensive? That comes back to the Liberal Democrat amendment proposed this morning. How will those extra costs be factored in when the Secretary of State requires those companies to be involved in the fund? How much notice will the Secretary of State have to give of the changes that are being proposed? If the notice is given while the decommissioning is under way, is there provision whereby he can say, "This must start tomorrow or next week", or will he expect those arrangements to allow for many years of planning before they come into force?
The Minister for Energy (Malcolm Wicks): Welcome to the Chair for this afternoon's sitting, Mrs. Humble.
With your permission, Mrs. Humble, I would like to correct for the record a response that I made this morning, as it might be helpful to the Committee. In answer to the hon. Member for Cheltenham, I explained that the Paris convention, to which the UK is a signatory, sets out a financial limit for operator liability in the event of a nuclear incident above which public funds may be used to meet third-party liability. I
should have referred to the fact that the convention, not EU law, sets a minimum level rather than a limit. That was my error.
Under the Paris convention, the usual limit is currently 15 million special drawing rights, which is about £12 million. The UK has gone further than that; we have chosen to exceed the normal maximum limit per incident in our implementing legislation by setting the normal level at £140 million.
The Government are currently analysing options for nuclear operators to obtain financial security for new heads of damages set out in the amending protocol to the Paris convention. We intend to publish a consultation document on the amended convention later this year. I apologise to the Committee for getting that wrong. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have said further satisfies the Liberal Democrats in relation to taxpayer protection.
The hon. Member for Wealden raised the issue of what we mean by "unreasonable delay". Again, I would like to be as helpful as I can in answering, but I cannot be arithmetically precise. First, the time involved in considering the proposal will depend on its quality and complexity. If it is of a lower quality, we will understandably wish to seek clarity, which will necessarily involve additional time. If the proposed programme involves complex financial arrangements, for example, that will also be likely to involve a longer period of consideration.
Secondly, there are statutory procedures that we must follow, such as consulting the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment Agency, or its equivalent in Northern Ireland. In addition, we would expect to consult the new board, which might also need to obtain expert advice. Thirdly, if the Secretary of State was minded to require a modification, he must give the operator and others with obligations under the programme an opportunity to make written representations.
To try to give a more precise answer to the hon. Gentleman, we might be talking about three to six months for the straightforward cases. For more complex cases, it could take a month or two more than that estimate. Estimates will necessarily be linked to the particular case under consideration. However, it is in no one's interest for that process to be either rushed, or unnecessarily or unreasonably delayed.
The hon. Gentleman also asked whether the Secretary of State's power unilaterally to modify an approved programme might create uncertainty for the operator. When the Secretary of State approves a programme, he does so to ensure that prudent provision has been made for the technical matters and for the financing of designated technical matters. Where he approves a programme, the Secretary of State is saying that it meets this requirement and that it adequately addresses the matters set out in the guidance, currently out to consultation, to be issued under clause 50.
It is important that the Secretary of State retains the power to modify an approved programme because it is an important part of the enforcement regime. In such circumstances, the Secretary of State might exercise the power to modify or impose an obligation to ensure that the necessary actions were carried out to bring the programme back into line with the approved programme. He might impose obligations to ensure that the breach did not occur again. It also enables him
to respond to changes in circumstances such as a change of control of the operator, as set out in more detail in the funding guidance as part of the funded decommissioning programme guidance consultation currently under way.
The Secretary of State might make a modification or impose an obligation where it is felt that the programme no longer meets the principles set out in guidance, or perhaps where the robustness of an associate body's provision for financial security is reduced. That would be one answer to that question.
The procedure for making a modification is set out in clause 45 and, for example, we must consult the interested bodies before making a notification. Ideally, we would work with the operator to make a modification. However, in a quick change in circumstances, such as when there is a change in the control of the operator, the modification might have to be very quick indeed. The hon. Gentleman will understand that I cannot be precise, but I hope that is a helpful answer.
Procedure for modifying approved programme
Malcolm Wicks: The clause sets the procedure for modifying an approved programme whether the modification is proposed by the Secretary of State or by other parties such as the operator. It sets out who should be informed of the proposed modifications, ensures that the Secretary of State is informed in writing of any proposed modification, if not made by him, and approves all modifications.
It is important to have the ability to modify a programme once it has been approved. The power will provide the necessary flexibility for approved programmes to take account of the kind of changes I mentioned in relation to clause 44. Requiring the Secretary of State's approval to any modification will ensure appropriate oversight of operators' programmes.
Regardless of who puts forward the proposal, the clause allows for any costs associated with the consideration of the proposed modification to be passed on to the operator. These costs might arise from seeking verification of the impact of the proposed modification on, for example, the cost of managing waste. We will set out in regulations how the charges will be calculated and when they will be payable.
There is a duty on the Secretary of State to give the operator, any other person with obligations under the programme and any person on whom the proposed modification will have an impact the opportunity to make written representations. That will mean that all those who have or will have obligations as a result of the modification will be given a chance to express their views on the impact the proposal might have on their activities. He will also need to take into account those representations, of course.
Anne Main (St. Albans) (Con): Will the Minister clarify something? Will there be a right of appeal against decisions that were made despite representations?
Malcolm Wicks: I hope to cover that important question in due course.
When deciding whether a modification is to be made, this clause, like clause 41, requires that the Secretary of State must exercise his power only with the aim of securing that prudent provision is being made for the technical matters, the financing of the designated technical matters and the cost estimates of those matters.
If the Secretary of State proposes to make a modification, he will have to determine that the programme originally submitted no longer makes prudent provision for those matters. In determining that, the Secretary of State will make reference to the guidance in force. Additionally, the Secretary of State will take into consideration comments made by the interested parties.
On the appeals procedure, as is the case with all issues across Government where the Secretary of State has the power to make the final decision, disputes between the operator and the Secretary of State can be settled by recourse to administrative law procedures. Therefore, an appeals procedure is not necessary. I am advised that that is also consistent with analogous legislation such as the Nuclear Installations Act 1965 and also in terms of legislation for offshore renewables.
Power to disapply section 45
Malcolm Wicks: The Secretary of State can make regulations so that the procedure set out in the clause does not apply to certain modifications. Regulations made under the clause could set a material financial threshold for operational and technical changes in terms of their impact on decommissioning and waste management cost estimates, so that any changes below that level—or, indeed, any cumulative changes over a certain period—would not need the Secretary of State's approval.
The tiered approach is consistent with that of the Health and Safety Executive and its enforcement of safety standards under licence condition 22 of the nuclear site licence. This power is important because it allows the operator to concentrate on running the station without having to seek approval for modifications which, for example, do not impact significantly on the costs of waste and decommissioning.
To ensure that the clause does not have negative implications for health, safety or environmental matters, the Secretary of State is required to consult interested bodies prior to making the regulations. Regulations made under the clause will also set out how the operator is to inform the Secretary of State of such modifications. That will ensure that the Secretary of State is made aware of any changes to an approved programme, even
if he does not have to approve them. The Secretary of State has other powers in the Bill and the programme to obtain information about such changes.
Steve Webb (Northavon) (LD): I have just a brief question in response to the Minister's comments. We are in the strange situation of deciding that although clause 45 has decent provisions and sets out how things should be done, clause 46 states that the Secretary of State does not have to do any of that if he does not want to.
When I first read that, I imagined that it was an emergency provision—something changes which means that it is important that the funded decommissioning plan is suddenly changed. I can understand why we would then disapply the careful safeguards set out in the previous clause, but the Secretary of State—I mean the Minister; I am getting ahead of myself—is saying the opposite, in that the proposal is de minimis and these are piddling, if I may use that word, little changes. He says that the Government do not want big paraphernalia because they are only changing small things, but that is not remotely apparent from reading clause 46.
My hon. Friend the Member for Cheltenham will try to catch your eye, Mrs. Humble, to raise slightly separate issues, but my worry is that the proposal is so vague and all-embracing that, essentially, we have agreed a set of procedures that seemed reasonable in clause 45, but we are now giving the Secretary of State carte blanch to rip them all up—albeit after consultation—on unspecified grounds which may be specified later. It seems so sweeping. Will the Minister reflect on whether the power is too broad and will rip up what we have just agreed to? The clause might say that it is to be used only in cases in which the regulatory burden of applying clause 45 is excessive and so on, but we do not even have any clues on that. I think that clause 46 is far too broadly drawn.
Mr. Brian Binley (Northampton, South) (Con): May I say what a pleasure it is to see you in the Chair, Mrs. Humble?
I want to raise a question which I asked earlier on consultation. I am equally concerned about the rather broad terms of the clause and that changes might be made that would have an impact on the local population almost without it knowing about them. Will the Minister describe the changes that could occur and give us an inkling about their size? Does he think that there might be a need to consider consulting on the matter, in the way that he promised earlier?
Martin Horwood (Cheltenham) (LD): May I say how nice it is to be serving under your chairmanship again, Mrs. Humble?
We discussed a number of amendments under clause 42 this morning, one of which we will later press to a vote. We will not press amendment No. 42, but it seems appropriate to refer to it in the context of this clause. It is about the right to consultation of the nuclear liabilities financing assurance board and whether that body will be consulted or informed when changes are
made. The Health and Safety Executive, the Environment Agency and others are listed and will be consulted by the Secretary of State. However, the very body that is supposed to deal with the financial arrangements of a funded decommissioning programme will apparently not be consulted because it is not specified.
How will the NLFAB carry out its functions if under subsection (3) modifications can be made by reference to the financial consequences of a decommissioning programme and yet there is no provision for the involvement of the very body that is supposed to exercise scrutiny over this matter? According to the White Paper, the NLFAB is supposed to provide advice to the Secretary of State on the regular reviews and ongoing scrutiny of funding arrangements. How will it do so if it will not even be informed when modifications to funded decommissioning programmes on the basis of financial consequences take place? Perhaps the Minister will clarify how that process will work in practice.
Malcolm Wicks: The hon. Member for Northavon was worried about the implications of a get-out clause. I am not sure if that was his phrase, but some might put it like that. I reassure him that we will lay out in regulations by negative procedure the circumstances in which the modification procedure under clause 45 will not apply. I will give him more reassurance on that matter later if I can. It will be debatable in the House, if appropriate, and we will look at the implications of it in regulations, taking into account his concerns.
The hon. Member for Northampton, South talked about the local community and the local authority in an earlier discussion. I think that that is more or less within the same family of questions. I said this morning that I would look at the matter and come back to the Committee. I do not think that either hon. Gentleman is saying that the local authority should have a role over the financial arrangements or the actuarial issues regarding the fund. They are concerned that there could be a change to the environment, for example because of a new building, or some traffic implications, and want to know whether the local authority should have a role. I am taking advice to see whether such things are covered under existing planning law, but I do not think that I will receive it today. If it is not covered, I will find out whether there needs to be further action and will come back to the hon. Gentlemen.
We discussed the nature of the board this morning and talked about what it is and what it is not. It will give regular advice to the Secretary of State. We do not feel that it needs the powers that the hon. Member for Cheltenham is prescribing because it will be there as part of government—with a small "g"—to advise us. I see no danger that we will not be able to benefit from its advice. I do not think that what he is proposing is necessary.
Martin Horwood: According to the White Paper, the purpose of the nuclear liabilities financing assurance board is not simply to give advice but to provide scrutiny, specifically with respect to the financial arrangements. However, the clause is about changes to funded decommissioning programmes, with specific reference to their financial consequences, and yet there seems to be no mechanism or expressed intention to involve the scrutiny body that we are just about to set
up in changes to the funded decommissioning programmes as they happen. Surely that is an essential prerequisite. Indeed, it would be useful to know what kind of financial consequences the Government have in mind in subsection (3). I would be grateful if the Minister could reassure me that the body will be involved in these processes.
Malcolm Wicks: The smaller—de minimis—changes will be set out in the annual report that the operator will have to submit as part of the programme. That is part of the transparency—or scrutiny—process. The Secretary of State has powers in the Bill to obtain more information if he is not satisfied with the changes that the operator has made. There will be transparency about these changes and the board will therefore be able to hear about them and give us advice on that if there is a concern.
Steve Webb: I wonder whether the Minister can help me. I sense that what is going on here is an example of his Department's legislative approach, which is to say, the things that one might not have thought of are in the clause but he has excluded the blindingly obvious. Is that what is going on here?
Malcolm Wicks: I would not put it quite like that. We are setting up the board to advise us. We are looking at the annual reports and if it wants to advise us on these things or if we want to take its advice, we will. I do not think that the whole chronology of every day in my Department and its interactions with a range of bodies needs to be in every Bill that we introduce. In terms of what size we mean by de minimis, we will be consulting on this level before making our regulations.
C lause 46 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

        }
        else {
            x.style.display = "none";
        }

Display Now:
 123 abc

Display want:
123 abc
456 pqr
789 xyz

A: Every new row that you write has it's display:none and has the same id.
When this JavaScript runs: document.getElementById("testable");, only the first element with that id is found  and so only the first element has its display altered to show.
ID's must be unique within a web page so don't give each new row the same one. Instead, consider giving them all the same class (which is allowed). Then, your JavaScript could loop through all of them and change their display like this:
// Assume that each
 has a class of row

let rows = document.querySelectorAll(".row");

rows.forEach(function(row){
  row.style.display = (row.style.display = "hidden") ? "block" : "hidden";
});

A: To extend upon @Scott Marcus's answer. On top of using classes consider adding the result ID's to your TR IDs to make them unique.
response.write("
")

This will help if you only want to make one row visible at a time and be able to toggle each individually, and if you want to show/hide them all at once you can do it with jquery:
$("tr[id*='testable-']").hide();
$("tr[id*='testable-']").show();

Facebook CFO Gideon Yu, who has been with the company just under two years, is leaving, reportedly because he, too, thinks the new, frenetic, update-y, kinda desperate-seeming, Twitter-wannabe Facebook sux.
Why He's a Babe: It's only fitting that the person who created Hot or Not, a photo-rating slash dating site–which reportedly sold for $20 million this year–should be considered hot. And Hong is, in that geeky sort of way. The thirtysomething Taiwanese-American has also earned the reputasian of being the funnest guy in Silicon Valley, at least he used to be anyway, until his doctor told him to chill, and we can't think of anything doper than a party guy who has to be told by his doctor to slow down (we aspire to get there in the near future). On top of all this, Hong has a blog, where he writes about his nerd interests, like Facebook apps and iPhones and taking a spin on the Zero G plane, which simulates weightlessness in space. And a man after our own heart? That's hot.


I love making this lasagna recipe when I throw large parties because it can be made in advance, so I can enjoy the festivities! The other reason why it is a great recipe to serve at large gatherings is that it is a vegetarian dish with a meaty and fullfilling texture (thanks to mushrooms and rich flavored cheeses). This is an old recipe that I have been making for about 18 years. Enjoy with great friends and good wine!
In a large pot of boiling water, cook lasagna noodles 10 to 12 minutes, until al dente. Drain and arrange lasagna pieces flat in a single layer on clean, dry towels to dry until ready to use.
To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and onions. Cook until soft, 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, an additional minute. Turn heat to high and add mushrooms to skillet. Cook stirring occasionally until mushrooms are soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Coat bottom of a large ovenproof lasagna pan with olive oil. Layer 6 to 7 noodles on bottom of pan, overlapping them slightly. Cover with 1/3 sautéed mushrooms (and juices that may have accumulated), 1 cup white sauce, 1 cup Fontina cheese, and 1 cup Gouda cheese.
Finish with a third layer of noodles, the remaining mushrooms and remaining white sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheeses have melted. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
I love making this lasagna when I throw a large party because I can prepare it in advance and enjoy the festivities! It is more elegant than traditional meat lasagna and it is vegetarian so everyone can eat it. Don't worry, the mushrooms are so meaty that you don't miss the protein texture in your meal.
Most people love mushrooms, but you can substitute them with thin sliced roasted peppers, eggplant or asparagus.
*The recipe for the "Cynthia's Special White Sauce" is in the recipe blog. It takes about 60 minutes to make and is totally worth it! If you don't have the time or patience, you can buy a ready-to-go white sauce in your grocery store or simply prepare a Béchamel (another kind of white sauce). You can make Béchamel by heating up 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of flour, slowly adding 2 cups of milk, and stirring constantly. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. It takes about 7 minutes to make.


This article is created to show how to view privileges for certain user in MySQL Database Server. It is used to recheck whether the privilege has already granted or not. The other reason is to make sure that to check whether the grant privilege command is working and have an impact to the previous state of privilege list.
For a start, check whether MySQL service is working. There is an article which can be used as a reference titled 'Check MySQL Service Status'. If the service of MySQL is working, it will allow to be connected remotely or local depends on the location of MySQL Database Server itself.
Before executing grant privilege command, it is important to be connected to MySQL Command Console. The article which can be used as a reference to connect to MySQL Database Server specifically its MySQL Command Console is titled 'MySQL Database Access from Command Line in Linux'.
The above example is a command which is used to show the grant which has already been defined in that MySQL Database Server. The user which is trying to be viewed its privilege list is 'admin'. The other information is the source is '%'. The sign '%' is used to represent any host, workstation or server. It means, specify all privilege list which is defined for user 'admin' whom used to connect from any devices with any IP Address identifier whether it is local or localhost, other local network interfaces or any external network interfaces.
It can be translated as the privilege which is owned by 'admin' whom used to connect from any devices is a full usage on any databases exist in that MySQL Database Server. It marks with the sign '*.*'.
It can be translated as the privilege which is owned by 'admin' whom used to connect from any devices are all privileges but only to a database named 'database_name'.


Xbox Live five years on – what's next?
Microsoft's Xbox Live has come a long way since it launched in November of 2002. Xbox Live started out as a multiplayer gaming network, but today the 8 million users with Live accounts do much more than just play games. Users can download movies and television shows, chat with friends, and more. Even Microsoft now describes the service as a "comprehensive unified online entertainment network". Marketing-speak at its finest, but it's true – Xbox Live is a key component of Microsoft's connected entertainment vision. In this post we look at the state of Xbox Live today, and explore some of the ways Microsoft will likely enhance it in the future.
Xbox LIVE will offer "300" on demand in HD starting Aug. 14, and is working with Warner Bros. at Comic-Con on a Bringing It Home campaign featuring "300" and other Warner Bros. properties. In advance of the street date for the "Heroes: Season 1" HD DVD boxed set, Xbox LIVE members will be able to download for free the show's pilot episode in high definition for a limited time.
This is the second article in a two part series exploring Microsoft's Internet TV strategy.
In part one, we looked at the history of Microsoft's Internet TV initiatives. We now turn our attention to examining what you can do with the company's products and services today, and we'll finish with some thoughts on what to expect in the future.
Today, Microsoft's three main television products are Windows Media Center, Xbox 360, and Mediaroom (formerly Microsoft TV IPTV Edition). Let's look at each in turn.


The initial capital campaign is winding down with pledges totally over $550,000 and more still coming.
That means that we can make our church facility more handicap accessible, offering hospitality to anyone who enters our doors or sanctuary. We can perform major capital improvements to aging furnaces, air conditioners and a host of other fixes beyond our yearly updates. All this is to refresh a building that is now worth over $5-7 million to rebuild with the same size and dimensions. Turns out, buildings are a great investment.
But, isn't investing in people more important? In fact, that is our job as a church. Our building serves the people, our ministries and our mission. We are called to help people build a relationship with Jesus Christ. That is our mission. People. That is putting things first. Let us keep that in mind as we pick out the paint colors, open walls and update, the chancel area for young families, strollers, and wheelchairs.
Who are we trying to reach? Who will we keep out?
– Authorize capital improvements within a set budget, based on the responses from the feasibility study we did last July which said people supported accessibility and capital improvements.
– Hire an architect to produce a detailed plan. Currently, we only have a preliminary design proposal, something to edit and further develop.
– Secure contractor bids for the proposal.
-Authorize a Building Team to handle the details But, there's more.
We will host another charge conference later this summer to vote on the final design plan before proceeding. At that point, we will need a vote to approve the final go ahead for construction based on a financial plan.
It's a long process. But so is building people. While we wait, let's put first things first.
Get to know your neighbors of all ages. Most families do not have a church home. Many are just waiting for a reason to come. Why not give them one? Invite them to church with you and tell them we are building a church for people like them.
It's the little things. My glass coffee press broke! I loved the coffee it made-strong and hot, but I could not find a replacement. Instead, I abandoned it and grabbed a fresh brew at the coffee shop on the run. It wasn't the same as slowing down and sipping java while still in my pajamas, but it was good enough. Like a real Minnesotan, I rationalized that the added chaos in my life was normal. The god of java was more important than time.
Small gods consume us—we settle for chaos when we long for time. We live vicariously through social media, but long to create our own memories. We let small gods rush us from here to there and anywhere but home, even on weekends. The small gods are more important than time.
We obey the small gods and our Christian souls run empty. We want to grab a quick cup of Jesus for life on the run—but small gods keep us busy. We are chained to small gods who tell us chaos is normal! STOP! That's exactly what small gods want us to believe! WRONG! God intentionally sent his Son to fight the chaos of small gods, rescue us, and defend our right to live in God's time, including a healing relationship with Jesus, the Prince of Peach who restores our soul– and sanity.
I boldly made a decision to grab my mocha and Jesus, to purposely carve out my God-given time for what really matters in life! Fight the small gods with intentional God-time. I got my morning devotions and coffee back–now in a new insulated, non-breakable coffee press. I stayed in my pajamas and talked with God. Prayer time was amazing, who knew? I carved out family time and WOW–my soul filled faster than my caffeine levels. Imagine that.
This is the Gospel's secret to a happier New Year: dump the small gods. Worship the big One. Carve out God-time every day: read a few verses of scripture, talk to God in a private space, worship with your family, volunteer for Jesus, fill your head with God-stuff, give to the ministry of the church… BUT… above all else, take deliberate steps to dump the small gods! Get your life back, your family, health, finances, and yes—definitely your soul back.
It's the little things that fill your life with goodness.
I read the words, but which one? The little church where I was baptized or where my children were baptized? Is it the one down the road or the one that returned me to ministry? Hmmm.
Coffee helps me ponder, so I sipped some hot Caribou and considered an odd possibility… none of the above! None of those beautiful churches were 'my church'. Every single one of them belonged to someone far greater than myself, Jesus Christ.
Wait! What about the traditions, Sunday routines and décor, I get a say in them, right? The coffee burns my lips.
Ask the Spirit. What the boss wants, the boss gets. If Jesus Christ need us to change directions, well, we do what the boss tells us to do. Change.
Be still my caffeinated heart! Change?
Jesus tells us to find new disciples, so we find new disciples, any way that works. We get out of our pews and do it. If what we are doing isn't working, we change to make it right. Jesus gets what Jesus wants, disciples. Jesus is the boss.
We change to find disciples, not change disciples to find us.
band-led service directed by a worship leader from the same demographic group as the missing. It's not my style, but then again, it's not 'my church.' The Boss gets what the Boss wants, disciples. Our job is to respond. We pray, plan, budget, pray some more and do what the boss wants, multiple disciples.
Jesus, you are the Boss. It's not 'our church', but 'your church.' Show us what to do.
Time to share the Caribou, folks. There's a work order in our pews.
I'm sitting in a Boston coffee shop sipping coconut iced coffee after having my first taste for such divine java at the Corner Drug store back home. Today, my table is smack dab in the heart of the Berklee School of Music in Boston. I'm surrounded by student musicians fully immersed in their musical studies. The young guy next to me is snapping his fingers to an imaginary beat as he explains music theory to the equally youthful gal directly across from him. They are whole heartedly engaged in the conversation, each contributing questions and comments that liven their spirits, laughing and exclaiming at the ideas they share.
There is energy here, life in the quest for answers! I love it! These beautiful people surrounding me are insanely curious about music- the language, story and construction of every note. It's in their soul as deep as God is within my own soul. Their passion flames a fire which cannot be extinguished, even at the expense of their own sleep. It's a passion that is God given, a quest for the language of the divine cosmos. Do they know it is a gift from God that drives them?
Then, there is me. I'm reading about Jesus,The Epic of Eden by Sandra Richter, which makes me an oddity here. No one here is talking about Jesus.
I speak Jesus. They speak music. We all drink coffee. It should be a match made in heaven.
Call me a dreamer, but I wonder what God would have us do to reach the people in the coffee shops in our world, or for that matter, the bars across the street? What language do we speak?
I pray for the Holy Spirit to transform our tongues to the language of the coffee shops and the bars, to speak music to the musicians so that we speak Jesus to those without Jesus. May the Spirit of Pentecost ignite our passion as deep the musicians surrounding me; and may Jesus be the music that fills the depths of their young souls.
Come, Holy Spirit, come. Form our tongues to speak the language of the people.
According to the trends, there are just 23 Easters left before the mainline Protestant churches close their doors-for good.
This message is for you–the reluctant Christian waiting for someone else to lead the way back.
If you are a reluctant leader, join the club. You are among many others, including me.
I wake up every day asking for instructions and wondering why God picked me, without a spouse and many obstacles to overcome.
Moses was just like us, scared and too afraid to lead. Yet, Moses was the face of the people despite his resistance.
They could trust him and respected his wisdom– both he would deny. Which is exactly why God chose Moses to lead. God wanted a leader who listened to the Spirit's wisdom instead of his own human understanding.
To deny one's gift of leadership is to deny the One who gave it to you. Peter learned the hard way. His denial was accepting his discipleship, and ultimately his leadership. Are you Peter?
There are many faces in a church-not one or two and all contribute to the Body. The more faces in diverse roles of leadership-the stronger the Body of Christ.
We are now at a pivotal point in church history with an estimated 23 more Easters before mainline churches close their doors.
Do we lead or settle? Do we set the pace for a bold future or copy others just surviving?
The cross was bold. The resurrection even bolder. Christ is boldest of all.
Can we, who put on Christ, be anything less?
Dare to lead, let others follow, and never settle for less.


Educators across the nation are up in arms over years of austerity and underinvestment in our children's education and in our public schools—and Texas educators are no exception.
Texas teachers are experiencing many of the same conditions that drove teachers into the streets in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, and North Carolina, where teachers organized and took action. Our state government cut education funding deeply during the Great Recession and is now refusing to make the investments necessary to meet children's needs in our public schools and community colleges.
Huge tax breaks for corporations have been the legislative priority—especially for the oil and gas industry, whose billionaires fund our most virulently anti-public education politicians like Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
School employee pay is stagnant. Texas teachers earn significantly less than other college-educated workers in our cities and receive wages that are thousands of dollars below the national average for teachers. Many school support staff do not earn a living wage. Health insurance costs for active and retired educators continue to escalate. Meager pay raises, when they come, are consumed by the rising cost of health insurance, and few school employees are able to afford family health coverage. Our so-called accountability system perpetuates a fixation and over-emphasis on standardized testing. The Texas Education Agency seems bent on labeling and punishing schools, supplanting locally elected school boards and forcing charter schools on communities by threatening to close their schools. Enough is enough! Texas educators are declaring to our elected officials that we will not accept the state's continued failure to meet the needs of our schoolchildren, their families, and of the professionals who serve those children in our public schools and colleges.
3) Repeal punitive accountability sanctions including forced closure of schools, forced takeover by charter schools or other outside management organizations, use of a single letter score to label school districts and campuses, and stigmatization of students and teachers based on test scores.
The Texas Supreme Court ruled in May of 2016 that our school finance system is barely constitutional. A bipartisan bill that would have invested $1.8 billion in schools was stopped by legislators seeking private-school vouchers a year later. Instead, the Legislature created a 13-member commission to recommend improvements for the school finance system.
While the Legislature will be armed with these recommendations, it's clear that the number one priority at the Capitol in 2019 will be increasing per-pupil funding—including an increase in the state share of funding to buffer the rise in local property taxes—an update in finance formulas, and greater equity in funding among school districts.
• Restore per-pupil funding fully to the pre-recession level of 2008 (an increase of $3.2 billion a year).
• Restore the state share of formula funding for school districts to at least 50 percent.
• Conduct a cost-of-education study to set the benchmark for optimal funding of the schools our kids deserve—covering the basics, meeting special needs, and providing equal opportunity for enrichment.
• Update outmoded funding formulas to reflect the full cost of educating nearly 5.3 million students—59 percent economically disadvantaged, 9 percent with disabilities, 19 percent English Learners.
• Assure funding equity, so that students have access to the educational resources they need regardless of where they happen to live.
• Guarantee state aid will keep up with enrollment, inflation, and rising state and federal requirements.
• Provide full state formula aid for community colleges, including employee benefits.
• Block private-school vouchers and equivalent drains on public education funding via privatization schemes like corporate-chain charter school takeovers, virtual schools like K12, Inc., "achievement districts," "home rule" charters, and deceptively labeled "parent triggers" for charterization.
To meet the growing needs of Texas students for the long term, build a new revenue structure assuring state funding that will keep pace with our students' needs.
• Close property-tax loopholes that shift the burden from commercial to residential ratepayers.
• Close loopholes in business taxes.
• Sunset unjustified sales-tax exemptions for business and professional services (but keep "lifeline" exemptions for health care, child care).
• Suspend the granting of new charters and the expansion of existing charters. Study the impact charter schools are having on student segregation, student discipline, disruption of neighborhood schools, public school funding, and student achievement.
• Require publicly-funded charter schools to be governed by elected boards, hold open meetings, and to ensure that all school property, including buildings, belongs to the taxpayers who fund the schools.
• Provide full-day, voluntary Pre-K and Kindergarten for all.
• Guarantee early extra help for struggling students.
• Ensure staffing to serve high-need students in regular classrooms.
• Enforce K-4 class-size caps, cap class size in Pre-K and higher grades, and bar overuse of online courses in lieu of in-person instruction.
• Expand bilingual, ESL, and dual-language instruction.
• Raise standards for entry into the teaching profession. Provide mentoring and research-based, teacher-directed professional development.
• Expand scholarships for instructional aides to become teachers.
• Assure teachers and paraprofessionals time to prepare and collaborate.
• Level the playing field to make privately run charter schools meet the same standards as local neighborhood public schools; block charter school expansion at the expense of the neighborhood public schools.
• Block nullification of state quality standards and safeguards under the guise of local innovation.
• Block implementation of misleading A-F grades for schools, which merely stigmatize students, schools, and neighborhoods.
• End misuse of state assessments as the main measure of success in a punitive accountability system.
• Tighten limits on local benchmark testing tied to state assessments.
• Use multiple measures to gauge student growth and guide instruction; include portfolio, performance-based assessments and measures of social/emotional learning.
• Ban use of "value added" models for individual educator evaluation.
• Use tests that are specifically designed for pupils with disabilities and for English Learners.
• End top-down, punitive sanctions; use community-developed solutions to improve schools, and use local, community-defined accountability measures.
• Expand use of the Community School model to build wraparound services for students and their families into neighborhood schools.
• Engage parents as full partners in developing school-improvement plans.
• Hold school districts accountable for providing a supportive environment for learning that reflects real employee, parent, and community input.
• Promote positive behavior supports and restorative practices and ensure administrator training in consistent, non-discriminatory use of the Safe Schools Act, while upholding teachers' and bus drivers' authority to remove disruptive students.
• Fully staff schools with counselors to meet students' social and emotional needs.
• Enact sensible gun laws to close background check loopholes and restrict minors and others shown to be unfit from acquiring firearms.
• Cease the foolish rhetoric about arming teachers and provide schools with the resources to hire professional law enforcement officers, where appropriate, to protect students.
• Enforce state law requiring seatbelts on new school buses.
• Notify parents if their child's school lacks full-time nurse staffing.
• Sunset the special-education video recording law to ensure that benefits are weighed against costs before the program continues.
• Boost state health-care funding for all education employees and retirees; reverse the long-term shift in costs onto employees and aim ultimately for the state to cover the full cost for every employee and half the cost for dependents—health coverage as good as the governor's!
• Sustain and improve defined-benefit TRS pensions—benefits you cannot outlive.
• Provide for a catch-up cost-of-living increase for all TRS retirees.
• Let education employees/retirees elect a majority on the TRS board.
• Expand and improve health benefits for adjunct higher-education faculty.
• Secure the repeal of unfair federal Social Security benefit cuts that victimize school employees.
• Raise educators' pay to match pay for comparable private-sector jobs in Texas.
• Pay a living wage to all education employees, Pre-K/16.
• Stop out-of-field assignments of educators and support staff.
• Clearly define the work day, work year, and work assignment; ensure extra pay for extra work.
• Strengthen employee contract, compensation, and due-process rights.
• Ensure basic due process and other employee rights in state law for all education employees, Pre-K/16.
• Train administrators to respect employee rights; penalize retaliation for employees' exercise of rights under state law.
• Maintain the ability of school boards to develop policy in consultation with employees' democratically elected representative organization.
• Let school boards bargain with an elected organization on local contracts. Police, fire fighters and other public employees in Texas already have this right.
• Assure adequate and effective training upon hiring and throughout employment.
• Stop inappropriate assignments to serve in roles for which employees are not trained.
• Establish standards for custodian workloads based on square footage of buildings maintained.
• Increase funding for paraprofessionals' tuition scholarships to become teachers.
• Uphold bus drivers' discipline authority under state law.

• Pay all employees in public schools a living wage.
• Ensure basic due process for support professionals in decisions affecting their employment.
• Provide administrative leave with pay for support personnel pending a decision on proposed adverse employment action.
• Boost state health-care funding for all education employees and retirees; reverse the long-term shift in costs onto employees and aim ultimately for the state to cover the full cost for every employee and half the cost for dependents—health care as good as the governor's!
• Make it the goal of state policy to enable all school employees to retire under the Rule of 80 at 70 percent of their active salary with an annual cost-of-living adjustment.
• Provide a catch-up cost-of-living increase for all TRS retirees.
• Limit tuition increases and increase financial aid.
• Maintain in-state college tuition rates under the 2001 Texas Dream Act for undocumented students who are Texas high school graduates and longtime Texas residents.

Sitting on the sidelines is not an option. Educators need to take action. We need to stand up, stand together, and speak out for our students, for all education employees, and for public education. Legislators listen best to messages from folks in their home district. Inform yourself about the issues and ask your state senator and state representative for their support.
Visit us at www.texasaft.org to stay up to date with the Legislative Hotline and Action Alerts, and to write to legislators directly by fax or e-mail. Dial 1-888-836-8368, give your state senator's or representative's name, and ask to be connected.
Team up with other leaders in your local to visit legislators in their home offices. Host a meeting with union members and local legislators to let them know your priorities before and during the legislative session.


The Nike Hypervenom boots were created for the out and out striker. The player who is tasked with keeping their cool in the box and thrives of taken every chance they get. The Hypervenom collection is one of the most popular in the Nike football boots range.
The elite models in the Hypervenom range are the Phantom and Phinish, which both great comfort and a soft touch, plus the boot molds to the shape of your foot thanks to an upper made from NikeSkin. The boot offers great stability for agile strikers, and stability for quick moves, from the Nike Flywire frame built into the boot.
These boots provide any forward player with the confidence to beat their marking, break in the box and get a powerful strike on goal. Unlike some boots made for strikers, they Hypervenom boots are extremely light, with high amounts of support to protect against strong tackles and collisions with defenders.

The stars will align for planet hunters twice in the next three years, allowing them to probe the nearest star to our own solar system for Earth-size alien worlds.
Proxima Centauri, which lies just 4.24 light-years from Earth, will pass in front of background stars in both October 2014 and February 2016. Astronomers should scrutinize Proxima during these two periods, looking for subtle light shifts that could reveal the presence of close-orbiting planets, a new study reports.
One astronomical unit is the distance from Earth to the sun, or about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers).
Proxima Centauri is a red dwarf, meaning it's cooler and smaller than our own sun.
Red dwarfs are the most common stars in the Milky Way, making up about 75 percent of the galaxy's stellar population. They're good candidates to host rocky, roughly Earth-size worlds, since lower-mass stars tend to have relatively smaller planets, researchers said.
Proxima is part of the three-star Alpha Centauri system, the closest solar system to our own. A scorching-hot rocky exoplanet roughly the size of Earth was discovered circling Alpha Centauri B, another star in the system, last year.
Astronomers have yet to find any worlds circling Proxima, but they continue to look. And the upcoming star alignments — which Sahu and his colleagues predicted by plotting Proxima's path through the heavens using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope — give them a rare chance to ramp up the search.
The alignments offer an opportunity to take advantage of a phenomenon called gravitational microlensing. As Proxima passes in front of the two background stars, its gravitational field will bend and magnify the distant stars' light, acting like a lens.
This process produces a light curve — a brightening and fading of the faraway stars' light over time — whose characteristics will tell astronomers a lot about Proxima. For example, researchers should be able to nail down Proxima's mass with unprecedented precision, which will in turn shed light on its temperature, diameter, brightness and longevity.
"If the planet happens to pass close to the star, it's possible to detect," Sahu said.
Hubble would be able to pick up a planetary signature in the light curve, Sahu added, as would several other powerful instruments, such as the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile.
Sahu and his team hope their new study, which has been submitted to The Astrophysical Journal, will get the word out, helping catalyze a full-on planet hunt using such big and capable telescopes.
"This is a rare opportunity where people can, in principle, look for planets around Proxima Centauri," Sahu said. "Hopefully this will lead to such a campaign."

ElixirScript vs C
When comparing ElixirScript vs C, the Slant community recommends C for most people. In the question"What are the best languages that compile to JavaScript? " C is ranked 22nd while ElixirScript is ranked 30th. The most important reason people chose C is:
Learning C forces you to grapple with the low-level workings of your computer (memory management, pointers, etc.) in ways that the other languages abstract away. Without an understanding of these low-level aspects of computer programming you will be limited if you try to develop an application that needs to run in a memory or performance constrained environment. Other languages like Python can obscure a lot of details, so your foundation may be weaker.

ElixirScript
Clear syntax
Uncluttered, yet unambiguous syntax
Excellent community
The Elixir community has proved to be welcoming and very supportive.
Great for concurrency
Leverages the existing Erlang BEAM VM
More familiar syntax
All of the benefits of Erlang; without as steep a learning curve of prolog based syntax. Elixir is heavily inspired by Ruby's syntax which many people love.
Great documentation
Elixir's documentation is very good. It covers everything and always helps solving any problem you may have. It's also always available from the terminal.
Understanding of computers
Learning C forces you to grapple with the low-level workings of your computer (memory management, pointers, etc.) in ways that the other languages abstract away. Without an understanding of these low-level aspects of computer programming you will be limited if you try to develop an application that needs to run in a memory or performance constrained environment.
Other languages like Python can obscure a lot of details, so your foundation may be weaker.
Helps with learning other languages later
A lot of languages used in the industry have a C-like syntax (C++, Java, Javascript, C#, PHP) and starting with C will help new developers to be familiar with it's syntax and by extensions with the syntax of many popular languages.
C is the industry standard programming language, moreover, it is the most popular programming language to use. C is the language used for most Windows, UNIX and Mac operating systems.
Capability to program in C is greatly appreciated in developers, creates an image of competency, and many programmers will learn it at some point in their careers.
C is portable between most hardware. Generally a C compiler is made for any new architecture, and already exists for existing architectures.
C is portable between all operating systems (Windows, UNIX, Mac, etc.) and only needs a program to be recompiled to work. This allows anyone on any operating system to learn about the language and not be held back by intricacies of their operating system.
With this said, C's portability these days is not quite what it used to be. Much of said portability relies on the POSIX standard in particular, and as time passes, the compliance of a given system with that standard is becoming less certain; especially in the case of Linux. Most things will still be portable (or at least emulatable) between Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD for example; but you will at times need to make use of platform-specific support libraries and APIs as well.
Low level of abstraction
While higher level languages languages like Java and Python provide possibilities to be "more expressive" per line of code, it's much more convenient to start with "less efficient" (get me right) language, in order to get initial concepts of how things behave at lower level.
Actually C is a good starting point moving to both higher and lower levels of abstraction, the good example here would be learning C before Assembler, as for general use the Assembler quite hard to understand due to low level of its abstraction (like getting the understanding on how loops work in C before trying to implement them on Assembler).
The king of languages, imitated, extended but never equalled
Made of a small set of keywords and rules, only your imagination is the limit. Above all, when it comes to 'pro' programming, C is the only one to rely on.
More control over the code
Teaches good practices
Writing in C will require you to understand how things are done. C implies using and understanding the fundamentals. Learning a higher-level language after is much easier.
Portable between CPU architectures
C was designed to be independent of any particular machine architecture, and so with a little care, it is easy to write "portable" programs (see here). By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, and therefore it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language like operating systems or small embedded systems.
C is simple with lesser rules than any other language
C is standardized and it is the go-to language when you have to speed things up.
Easy to drop down to assembly
Sometimes you really need to program directly in assembly. C's ABI and common compiler extensions make this a piece of cake.
If you can't grok C you should not be a professional programmer
It sets an early bar that if you can't hurdle you might as well do something other than programming and not waste any more of your time.
Basic concepts can be applied to accelerate learning any other language
You can easily pivot knowledge learned here and apply it to almost every other language.
There is a C compiler available for probably every computer system in existence today.
Low level langauge
Foundational, difficult but important
Learning C will teach valuable skills and transferrable understanding of computing. While learning a scripting language may be easier, students will not understand system constraints and performance problems, nor what features like garbage collection are actually doing in other languages.
No cons yet!
Languages is full of corner cases and undefined behaviors
Undefined behavior in a program can cause unexpected results, making it hard to debug. With UB, program behavior may vary wildly depending on optimization settings. There are many cases that invoke UB, such as signed overflow, invalid dereferences, large integer shifts, uninitialized variables, etc. These serve to frustrate novice programmers when they could be learning other concepts.
C will require you to learn concepts too advanced for most beginners
While other programmers will learn algorithms and structures and will do magic tricks and awesome applications, you will learn trash info that you should know maybe after 5-7 years experience in software development, not earlier. It's like going the first time as a seven year old kid to first school class, and your teacher tells you to learn you about Discrete Math, without basic math and how to do 2x2.
If you wish to be a really good programmer, C for sure will be in your portfolio, but not as a first language, and this programming language is used only for very hard and very limited tools which require a lot of professional skills from the programmer.
While the language compliments knowledge of computer components very well, and gives a deeper understanding, it is also quite difficult to learn, and to use correctly, especially without aforementioned knowledge.
Requires memory management
Learning programming is already hard enough when you don't have to worry about memory leaks.
Does not support modules; header file annoyances
Header files are a poor man's implementation of modules. Modern programming languages make use of modules which eliminate the need for C includes and header files and the many issues caused by them, such as the complete lack of dependency checking. Header files often contain even more include statements that point to other header files which also point to even more which drastically increases compile time. Modules only have to be compiled once, and when importing those modules into your software project, you only have to pull in the module that you are using, which is often times already precompiled. This way, the compiler knows exactly what it needs before beginning to compile your project and can automatically compile the few dependencies it needs in advance rather than recursively compiling every header file it runs across as in C.
Lack of support for first class strings
C does not support the string type, nor does it support UTF-8 strings that modern languages are employing today. Instead of strings, C makes use of the *char type which is a pointer to a character array.
Low-level
Depending on the purpose this can be either a pro or a con. If the task is to learn how to program, low-level of C will impend learning important concepts. Furthermore, C is rather limited in ways of building abstractions.
"Low-levelness" of C can be a pro feature in learning system programming.
Arrays are not first class objects
When an array is passed to a function, it is converted to a pointer, even though the prototype confusingly says it's an array. When this conversion happens, all array type information gets lost. C arrays also cannot not be resized, which means that even simple aggregates like a stack are complicated to implement. C arrays also cannot be bounds checked, because they don't know what the array bounds are.
Undefined behaviors and weak limited type safety
Subtle errors can render the entire program "undefined" by the complicated C standard. The standard imposes no requirements in such cases. Thus C compiler is free to ignore the existence of such cases and Bad Things are prone to happen instead. Even experts can't reliably avoid undefined cases in C, so how can beginners be expected to do so? C allows for non-type safe operations such as logic errors, wild pointers, buffer overflow, etc. UB and type safety issues create a large number of bugs and security vulnerabilities.
The need for C developers in the current market is very low, and trending downward
Older languages, like C, are no longer in their hay day. Even if you do learn it as your first language, you are only setting yourself up to need to learn another language in the long run. If you want a skill that you can not only learn from, but also potentially build a career on, C should not be your first choice.
Other languages can do it easier or better
There are languages like Rust, Object Pascal, D, Golang, Vlang, Odin, Zig, Jai, etc... that can be used instead. The other languages are easier to understand, use, and/or about as fast.
Completely lacks type safety
The C standard library is not type safe, and the language itself does not promote type safety built into the language, which leads to error-proneness of the language. If anything, it would be recommended that those interested in C to instead put their time in D, which actually includes a complete copy of the C standard library rewritten to be fully type safe.
Isn't truly portable or cross platform
The C programming language is not portable to other operating systems, and even different compilers, because the C language does not provide any reference cross platform libraries or compilers. Different platforms and compilers provide their own implementation of the C standard library which may not be compatible with the implementation in another compiler or platform. Without cross platform libraries and tools, one cannot state that C is portable. This is in stark contrast to modern programming languages that provide their own cross platform libraries and compilers, such as D, Go and Rust.
Only offers basic support for source code split into multiple files
Modern programming languages are capable of compiling split source code files by concatenating them together efficiently at compile time before compiling them. However, C requires the developer to resort to messing with header files and makefiles to get similar functionality.
Compiles procedurally rather than intelligently
In the same manner that C recursively compiles header files ad infinitum without any sort of dependency checking, C source code is also compiled in the same manner. If you attempt to call a function before it is declared, the compiler will fail because the function was not compiled before it was caled.
C structs are very weak and outdated
C structs lack a lot of modern capabilities that are vital in programming languages of today, such as assigning member functions to structs to give them object-oriented capabilities, constructs, deconstructors and RAII. Great care must be used when using structs in C to prevent memory leaks and ridiculously slow structs.
Includes require obscene resources to compile
All the modern languages have resulted in ditching the ancient deprecated model of #include statements and have instead adopted the superior model of modules. When compiling software written in C, the programmer is forced to also compile X headers which contain Y headers which contain Z headers and so forth -- drastically increasing the number of lines that need to be compiled. In order to compile something as simple as "Hello, World", for example, 18K lines of code needs to be compiled. This can be very taxing on RAM and CPU resources, causing compile times to quickly absorb a large portion of the programming process.
Heavily outdated programming concepts
C lacks a large majority of programming concepts that modern languages make use of today. The existing functionality of C makes use of outdated and deprecated methodologies which can be of great annoyance to the modern day programmer.

It's dark and it's pouring cats and dogs. Inside, even before the sun rose, people began to trickle in. Then they came in droves. Soon, the place was packed. It was still pouring outside. But inside, the people had gathered for a meeting. A pre-dawn meeting. How awesome is that! This, then, was the sight that greeted those who arrived late – the umbrella holder is overflowing. There are umbrellas all over the foyer outside to avoid wetting the carpet inside. Wow!

Triggered when the unit is damaged.
Note: Can be triggered on vehicles only when the engine is on (and therefore it needs a driver/pilot).
There is a bug in MP: On clients where the vehicle is not local, engineState is always false, so you should use the following instead.
Triggered when the unit's fuel status changes between completely empty / not empty (only useful when the object the event handler is assigned to is a vehicle).
Triggered when the unit lowers/retracts the landing gear (only useful when the object the event handler is assigned to is a member of the class "Plane").
Triggered when a unit enters the object (only useful when the object the event handler is assigned to is a vehicle).
Note: The GetIn/GetOut event handlers do not fire when changing positions within a vehicle.
causedBy: Object - Object that caused the damage, contains the unit itself in case of collisions.
MP Note: When calling functions, the commands player and group as well as remote objects are not initialised.
Triggered when a guided missile or an unguided missile which most likely will hit is fired on the unit.

Evil Bone have been haunting music blogs and twitter accounts for months; we finally get a chance to hear what the band is all about…and it's pretty great. The sound is rather definitely one of pop ilk, but the presentation is where the band is able to differentiate itself. The vocals have an effect on the, coming off like wisps of air floating atop the dense percussive groove that's established. This is the sort of place where listeners will get lost, entranced by the craftsmanship. No word on a proper release, but a worthy groove for you all to enjoy on a Friday.


The example above will create a sequence object called user_seq Because of the 'START WITH 1' parameter the first number in the sequence will be '1'.
The 'MAXVALUE 20000' parameter tells Oracle to stop generating sequence numbers at 20,000.
The 'INCREMENT BY 1' parameter will cause the sequence numbers to increment by 1 (i.e. 2,3,4, and so on.).
The last line, 'CACHE 100' tells Oracle to pre-generate or cache the next 100 sequence values and store them in system memory for increased performance. If the database fails (crashes), the sequence numbers are lost, and when the application is restarted, a gap may occur in the sequence numbers. To prevent this possibility you can specify NOCACHE, which defers the caching of sequence numbers in memory. Using NOCACHE may result in slightly reduced performance, but it will prevent any gaps from appearing in the sequence should a database failure take place. In general, Oracle recommends caching sequence numbers and not using the NOCACHE parameter unless the continuity of sequence numbers is considered a critical factor.
The example above will create an Oracle sequence that starts at 2 and increments by 2. The resulting sequence would be '2, 4, 6, 8, 10', and so on. Using the 'START WITH' and 'INCREMENT BY' parameters allow you to start and step by any required values. You can also use negative numbers for the 'START WITH' and 'INCREMENT BY' parameters if necessary.

Q: Javascript equivalent of Python's urlparse.parse_qs()? I am using python to generate a query string which will then be parsed by javascript.
Consider a fairly "complex" piece of data:
import urllib

params = {
         'record': 'customer',
         'filters': [
                 ('id', '>', 5),
                 ('name', 'startswith', 'Jean Luc')
         ]
}

urllib.urlencode(params)
'record=customer&filters=%5B%28%27id%27%2C+%27%3E%27%2C+5%29%2C+%28%27name%27%2C+%27startswith%27%2C+%27Jean+Luc%27%29%5D'

urllib.unquote(urllib.urlencode(params))
"record=customer&filters=[('id',+'>',+5),+('name',+'startswith',+'Jean+Luc')]"

In python, I can use urlparse.parse_qs() to take that url-encoded query string and reconstruct a Python structure.
Is there an equivalent for Javascript? Has someone written a library which knows how to parse such querystrings?
Incidentally, this Javascript is not running in a browser - it is an internal scripting functionality in a package called "Netsuite" - so using external javascript libraries is somewhat difficult (though ultimately doable if that is what is required.)

A: jQuery.deparam might be what you're looking for. Should be easy enough to look at his source and figure out how to do it if you can't use jQuery in Netsuite.

A: Its best to use either XML or JSON form of data to the Netsuite end.
and Netsuite scripts are pure javascript here, JQuery is not supported but JSON and XML data
can be parsed back to the objects using JSON.Parse and you can continue using the data there.
Cheers!!!

RPS 205 Upholds Commitment to Balanced Budget
Rockford Public Schools administrators have identified ways to halt a projected budget shortfall for the current fiscal year, FY 2015. District administrators shared the news of the shortfall with the School Board, department leaders and principals late last week. Budget adjustments for the current fiscal year will not affect employment for the rest of the school year, and the hope is to minimally affect schools.
The district faces an $8.8 million projected shortfall. Officials have identified $5.8 million worth of reductions identified for the rest of this fiscal year. Less than 10 percent of that total, or $540,000, will come from schools. Other adjustments include delaying computer upgrades, freezing purchases, transferring expenses, cutting the central office budget and other reductions. Another $2 million will come from budget areas that did better than forecasted. The remaining $1 million shortfall is earmarked for HR purposes. The FY 2015 budget was approved with this one-time spending plan in mind for a time-keeping system.
$8.8M projected shortfall
$5.8M in adjustments/freezes
$2M in favorable budget variance
$1M earmarked for HR time-keeping purchase
"This is not a situation we're happy about, but it's one we have to deal with," said Superintendent Ehren Jarrett. "We're committed to break even this fiscal year and not run a deficit. It's important to the School Board, my administrative team and the taxpayers in this community that we live within our means and still provide the best possible services for our students."
In November, audit results revealed that RPS 205 ended its previous budget cycle with a nearly $9M deficit, which is a less than a 3 percent variance from the adopted budget. The deficit did not result in program cuts or reprimands from the state.
Since FY07, RPS has run a surplus every year but one. In FY10, the state cut back on its payment schedule to districts statewide and RPS was shorted $11M. The district's unaudited reserve balance remains at approximately $109.7M for all operating funds – above the School Board's designated 25 percent.

Tight on cash but want to treat yourself? This tech offers the best bang for your buck.
With the rising costs of living putting a strain on many families – not to mention the Feds' huge rate hike (to curb inflation) that will likely affect your credit card and mortgage payments – Americans are looking for ways to save.
In fact, Google Search says there was a huge spike for words like "cheap" and affordable" over the past few months, which reached its peak in June (so far), confirmed Colette Garcia, Global Communications and Public Affairs, Search at Google, in an email to USA TODAY.
And with gas prices up to a record $5/gallon (on average) across the country, it's no surprise Google also says there has been a jump in search queries tied to electric vehicles (EVs).
Electric vehicles: The pros and cons – and costs – of switching to a plug-in car
Speaking of tech, those who still want to treat themselves or loved ones – perhaps as a gift for dads and grads this month – need not break the bank on premium products to have a premium experience.
That is, you might not hear much about inexpensive gadgets, but they exist, and often, without much compromise.
"As consumers feel the effects of inflation in fuel and food, they are likely to look for bargains in discretionary tech purchases," confirms Avi Greengart, president and lead analyst at Techsponential, a firm that offers research and advisory services to technology companies and retailers. "The good news is that there are deals to be had, especially in televisions and smartphones."
The following are five such examples of "best bang for your buck" tech items.
Talking Tech newsletter: Sign up for our guide to the week's biggest tech news
Thrifty tech lovers might consider bundles, often available for a limited time only, such as an Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker and LIFX smart bulb for $39 (which is $22 off, or 36 percent).
The only thing better than snagging a powerful smart speaker for $38 is when a smart light bulb is included in the price.
Such is the case with the all-new Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen), bundled with the Wi-Fi-enabled LIFX Smart Bulb.
Use your voice to summon Alexa, your personal assistant, to control your lights and other smart home gear (like Wi-Fi thermostats), stream music and podcasts, shop online, set alarms or request info like weather, news and sports scores. (While you can do it, you may not want to ask for stock prices until the market rebounds!).
Unlike some other smart lights, this dimmable LIFX bulb does not require a bridge or hub.
Sky-high electric bill? Save with smart power strips, LED bulbs, thermostats
Smart phone, smart price
Now available for $258 – a third or a quarter of some premium phones on the market – the TCL Stylus 5G smartphone delivers a lot of bang for the buck.
For only $258, the just-announced TCL Stylus 5G is a fraction of the cost of many premium smartphones, yet manages to impress for its deep feature set.
The 6.8-inch Android phone features a 50-megapixel AI-Quad camera, 13-megapixel front-facing camera and up to 26 hours of talk time.
"TCL's Stylus 5G has a 5G chipset from MediaTek, a large display and software features for note-taking and drawing," confirms Greengart. As the name of the product suggests, it also ships with a stylus pen.
"Are there compromises to hit that price point? Of course, there are [as] this isn't a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but the Stylus 5G offers a lot of productivity for $1,000 less."
Thanks for the memory
Easily transfer large files between laptops, smartphones and tablets with the pinky-sized SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C (from $11) that has a USB-A connector on one end and a USB-C connector on the other.
Starting at only $11 (for 32 gigabytes), the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C is a tiny storage solution that lets you easily move files between your USB Type-C smartphone, tablets and Macs and USB Type-A computers.
The swivel design lets you choose between the USB-A and USB-C connector.
With capacity up to 1 terabyte, the all-metal Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB can be easily clipped to a keyring to keep it convenient, wherever you go this summer.
Thanks for the (computer) memory! How to buy the right data storage for your needs
File transfer is fast, thanks to USB 3.1 Gen 1 performance with 150MB/s read speeds.
When plugged into an Android phone, the free SanDisk Memory Zone app automatically backs up photos and videos, as well as music, documents and contacts.
(iPhone users, on the other hand, could pick up the iXpand Flash Drive, starting at $16 for 32GB, which has a Lightning connector on one end.)
Great-sounding and comfortable wireless earbuds need not be expensive. The NexiGo Air T2 earbuds are just $69 for the pair, and are available in several colors.
Don't want to spend $179 on AirPods or don't like the look of the white stems sticking out of your ears? (Or maybe they just won't stay in your ears, period?)
For music lovers on a budget, NexiGo's Air T2 earbuds ($69) are a pair of ultra-thin, lightweight and truly wireless earbuds.
Available in black, silver or rose gold, they deliver a comfortable fit, surprisingly powerful audio (with 13mm drivers) and four embedded microphones for clearer voice calls.
While they lack powerful active noise cancellation (ANC) technology – instead, it has CVC ("clear voice capture") noise reduction tied more to phone calls — you can't beat the price, especially given the impressive design and sound.
Looked at your phone and earbuds lately? They're nasty. Here's how to disinfect them
Battery lasts up to 7 hours per charge and up to 28 hours with charging case.
Gaming, too
Rather than pay $60 0r more on each new video game, Xbox Game Pass is a $9.99/month subscription service that lets you play more than 100 high-quality games on Xbox, Windows PC, or select Samsung Smart TVs (no console required).
"As the supply chain limitations on computer chips slowly eases and crypto mining is less profitable, it should also be much easier to find game consoles and PC graphics cards at regular retail prices," says Greengart.
"However, for a real bargain, Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass allows you to play games on PCs and even Samsung Smart TVs – just add a controller."
Rather than paying $60 or $70 for each new video game, Xbox Game Pass is a $9.99/month subscription service that lets you play more than 100 high-quality games on Xbox, Windows PC or select Samsung Smart TVs (no console required) or $14.99/month for an "Ultimate" plan (both platforms).

When I picked up my new bike, the sales guy mentioned that I shouldn't start the engine until I am ready to ride away i.e. don't start the bike up and leave the engine idling/running while putting gear on etc. Does that sound right to anyone? I know a chap that used to let the engine run all the time, the theory being that it warms the engine up.
Re: Is leaving the engine idling on start up bad?
Just had the 600 mile service on mine. With mine just ran it whilst putting on helmet and gloves. Then slowly increased the revs whilst the engine warmed up. With current engine oils they are thin when cold and increase in viscosity when warm so no need to warm oil before riding off. Don't forget the temperature gauge is the water and not the engine. My current car has both and in the current weather water temp is normal in around 10 minutes of driving but the oil is around 10 minutes after that. So don't redline till you've got a few miles under your belt.
There is no need to idle/rev the engine for any amount of time. Better to warm everything up together as you ride. I get suited up, get on the bike and go.
There is no requirement to idle the bike excessively prior to riding (as has been discussed at length here: https://www.s1000r.co.uk/index.php/topic,7814.0.html) but it's a liquid cooled bike, it should not cause any problems if you do so.

Need an economical advertising fixture that has a sleek look? These poster hanging rails have an aluminum extrusion construction and an affordable price. Each display has a silver satin finish that complements any interior with its professional appearance. With their neutral color, the poster hanging rails are great for stores, restaurants, offices, service organizations and any other venue. The hanger can be suspended from the ceiling with chain or nylon line hanging kits that are sold separately. Alternatively, some models include suction cups for attaching the sign rails to windows. However, every frame allows two prints to be hung back-to-back, showcasing to both sides. Utilizing an easy-to-use clip open design, the poster hanging rails allow for graphics to be changed quickly. Setting up the signage for hooks is easy and allows the user to switch prints on the fly for any occasion. A poster hanging rail, also known as a quick-change banner hanger, is a versatile solution for merchandising.
A versatile display can hold many types of print including card stock, paper, vinyl and banner media. The quick-change banner hanger top attaches to the supporting chain, line or suction cup hook with an adjustable eyelet clip. This silver upper frame features a spring-loaded mechanism for keep the holder shut. A layer of rubber creates friction to prevent the graphic from slipping, creating a secure grip. An aluminum extrusion bottom keeps the graphic straight and prevents it from wrinkling or curling. Models with suction cups allow the lower frame to be attached to the window to fasten the signage on all four corners. The silver hanging rails with hooks are unique because they allow for any height of graphic as long as it does not reach the floor. This means that prints must only fit the width requirement to be displayed properly. A poster snap holder for windows is ideal for any size area because of the fixture's variable height. The many width sizes of the aluminum extrusion model make the quick-change banner hanger suitable for any location.
The hanging rails are capable of holding a graphic of any height and is only limited by the dimensions of the room it's placed in. A quick-change banner hanger can be used in buildings with high ceilings to feature large prints for maximum signage space and visibility. However, the silver poster snap holder is also ideal for smaller areas and can display shorter inserts in a landscape orientation. Aluminum extrusion sign rails with hooks are excellent for advertising at eye-level and are made to be flexible. A hanging fixture is great for sales, offers, events and other temporary information because of its stress-free opening design. On the other hand, the durable metal units will showcase permanent advertising for long periods of time with its durable construction. Adaptable hanging rails like these will meet any merchandising need.


This acorn and oak leaf brooch makes a stunning addition to a coat or jumper and brightens up the dull Winter days with a shot of colour and metallic shimmer.
Surprisingly robust and incredibly flexible, it is made from polyester fabric that is embroidered, sculpted and painted with shimmering paints. the leaves are very strong and will not fray or unravel under normal use. the brooch is lightweight.
The acorns are made from a combination of polymer clay, thread, glass beads and wire.
The brooch can be worn at any angle as the acorns move and will hang in any direction.
The oak leaf and acorn brooch measures 8cm x6cm and is presented in a 9cm square gift box. The brooch is quite robust and durable but care is recommended when handling and storing. Water should not damage the brooch but to avoid any distortion of the fabric it is recommended that you do not submerge in water, crush, iron or subject to high temperatures.
