Yesterday was a great demo. Using the JPL path planner, we were able to get two gliders into position in the Hyperion swath. The satellite passed overhead around noon, and the new waypoints for the next mission of the weekend were uploaded by later that afternoon. Our next behavior test is to have the gliders fly together, and we hope that by tomorrow's telecon we will have a nice glider bollus! We will discuss as a team during the 2 pm telecon the missions for the coming week. We will also start planning the missions to be conducted during the OOI community workshop and also how to the support a second Hyperion flight on Novemeber 14.
Hyperion visible image swath below. Yes not much to look at yet, but getting this coordinated was a great technology success! Kudos to Steve and his team!!!!
From the science side, winter blooms are cooking, and we can see elevated shelf chlorphyll in the depths shallower then the 40 isobath in. The glider data also suggests chlorophyll is enhanced for water depths shallower than the 40 m isobath.
Northwesterly winds are observed today. Wind amplitude has been decreasing and will reach a minimum later Saturday. NAM forecasts have shown excellent agreement with the buoy measurements. NAM indicates a break increase of winds late Saturday and early Sunday in the northeast direction. Very weak (~ 5 knots) wind conditions are predicted into Sunday in the northeast direction. We continue to get excellent SST images for Thursday. The ensemble forecasted surface current averaged over Thursday shows a good agreement with the HF radar data, although with somewhat weaker amplitude. The outflow from the NY harbor is clearly reproduced by the ensemble model. New images are added comparing the glider profiles of temperature and salinity with the four models. In general, the models are doing well in simulating these vertical profiles. Major discrepancies are also evident with large temperature (over 1 degree) and salinity (over 1 psu) differences. EO-1 satellite overpass will be later today, and the data/images from the onboard Hyperion hyperspectral imager are expected to be available Monday or Tuesday.
Friday night, its party time!
I have been flying gliders for 6 years with my team. There are times when you have an experience when all is amazing and you feel like you have seen the future. Today during the 2 PM telecon, I saw the future and lived the potential. I feel rich. We have Hyperion providing an overflight around 11 tomorrow. I asked David, "How many of gliders can I get into the Hyperion swath?" David over the web pulled up the Google Earth module, dragged the time icons, and he showed the projected area that can be serviced by several of the gliders. For a stupid and ocean boat guy, this was mind blowing. Wow. I managed to grab the figure, it is posted below. This was one quinestial moment for a glider pilot and is a game changer! Wow.
The waypoints were uploaded later in the day. The gliders are making good progress and we will see how they do tomorrow. The glider positions tonight are making progress. The Blue Hen is making great progress, it will be central to making progress as the weekend ends. It is late, my son's b-day tonight, so the full environmental report is tomorrow.
Winds have switched to Southeasterly today as predicted. NAM forecasts indicate weak winds Thursday and Friday. Northwesterly winds will resume Saturday with strong wind as high as 30 knots. Excellent SST images are obtained on Tuesday. In addition to the multiple bands in the SST, there is a strong outflow of cold (and probably fresh) water from the NY harbor into the sh lf break (shown in both the GOES and MODIS composite images). The cold water outflow from the NY harbor is evident in some models (e.g., HOPS), although with much weaker amplitude, certainly due to the coarse spatial resolutions. The HF radar data clearly show this strong current near the entrance of the NY harbor. The equal-weighted ensemble model forecast shows a relative weak offshore current in this region, mostly due to the fact that some models (e.g., ESprESSO) have strong current than others. All three gliders are moving along the predicted path.
There was a blog choke last night, looks like I erased my message. Anyway, lets recap where we are.
Gliders, they are flying really well. We have broken the ru21 to north to study the interesting features we saw in the mid-shelf. The University of Delaware's glider was deployed and is heading offshore (we are having an icon issue, should be fixed when John K. today, the glider is the "X"). The other two gliders Ru5 and RU 23 continue in on the shore. As they reach the shallower waters, chlorophyll values continue to rise. Offshore waters show colder water temperatures and the salinity is is higher in the nearshore waters. Nice validation for the winter bloom, more below. The glider to the north is seeing similar features despite being in deeper water. A reminder vertical data for people's interest can be found at http://marine.rutgers.edu/cool/auvs/?page=deployments.
What do the current show?
The currents have been calming down, and explains the great progress being made by the gliders. The path planner is very fun, and we tip the morning coffee to our JPL partners. The currents are likely to increase in the day as it is projected to whip up. Good thing the AUV team got their work in yesterday. The forcatsed currents are predicted to whip mostly offshore, and the inner shelf still is predicted to be calm. Below is the ROMS forecast from the Rutgers group. The ensemble model is also below with the variance in the U and V components. The errors in the ensemble model have decreased with variance being on the order of 5 cm/s on in the inner shelf in the U component, 10-15 cm/s in the V component.
The AUV assetts are in the water today as we speak. Below are pictures of the teams prepping yesterday.
For those who have not been the field station, below is the pier that you walk out to the field station on.

Winds have switched to Southeasterly today as predicted. NAM forecasts indicate weak winds Thursday and Friday. Northwesterly winds will resume Saturday with strong wind as high as 30 knots. Excellent SST images are obtained on Tuesday. In addition to the multiple bands in the SST, there is a strong outflow of cold (and probably fresh) water from the NY harbor into the shelf break (shown in both the GOES and MODIS composite images). The cold water outflow from the NY harbor is evident in some models (e.g., HOPS), although with much weaker amplitude, certainly due to the coarse spatial resolutions. The HF radar data clearly show this strong current near the entrance of the NY harbor.

All three gliders are moving along the predicted path.
Thoughts from MIT and WELCOME the AUVs TODAY!
Pierre sent on some great info to the team.
We have given our model fields to Arjuna and Henrik for the AUV planning tomorrow.
- Tidal effects (which we forecast will dominate at least for the first half of the day tomorrow due to weak wind forecasts), see for example: http://mseas.mit.edu/Sea_exercises/OOI-OSSE09/Tides/index_tides.html.
- The along-shore and cross-shore gradients (more interesting than a thermocline yoyo) since the water column is forecast to be relatively well-mixed in the AUV ops area, excepted mid-afternoon due surface warming (afternoon effect for the acousticians). The along-shore AUV-path to the north should show some colder waters slowly advected from the NY Bay. The cross-shore AUV path will also show a small temperature gradient in the area. Attached is a plot of T at 15m forecast for Nov 5 11am, EST.
- By the way, Oscar, the main mixing on the NJ shelf seems to have happened on Oct 25, with full mixing up to 30m depth (more or less). We just missed it by 1 week. This I think is link to the winter bloom we have observed in the glider data.
- For the curious and for John Wilkin, I also include a plot the the vertical avg 0-200m velocity that explains I think some of the features above the Hudson Valley that Yi talked about. You can see the tidal resonance (the forecast plot attached ccnt_VAV200Z_03Nov15z shows the strong flow conditions, with some internal tides elsewhere in the domain). At other times, the resonance leads to no tidal flow right above the valley, but strong flow on either side.
Late last night, even after the Yanks were celebrating their victory, the OSSE dialogue continued. I am compiling many of the thoughts and language of the dialogue. It provides a great summary of why we are excited, where we have been, and let's us dream about where we are going.
Yi was excited about a feature observed to the North in the MAB. He saw an outflow feature from the NY harbor,(satellite images of the features and the model realizations are posted in one of the blogs from last night). Yi's observation was that all four models are warmer in that outflow region, suggesting a weak or no outflow from the NY harbor, leading him to want some salinity data and he suggested we send a glider up to verify. This suggestion illcited a comment from the Stevens crowd and began an email dialogue. I am posting that dialogue.
Nickitas chimed in with some thoughts about the to what degree we can believe the SST for identifying small differences. His point was SST from satellite has inherent errors of a degree Celsius in our region and he cautioned that it can't be taking as absolute truth. Nickitas looked at the NDDBC buoys and saw NYHOPS is currently tracking COLDER by 1 degree Celsius, not warmer, at NDBC buoy 44009, and it is right on the money at NDBC 44025 and NDBC 44065 just outside NY/NJ Harbor, and several other stations not shown here but in the www.stevens.edu/maritimeforecast pages. These stations are inside the continental shelf.
As Yi pointed out later in the night, The errors for the various satellite data sets are in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 degree. Merging them together is certainly a challenge, probably will introduce more errors, so the SST uncertainty is probably over 1.0 degree. While we cannot say much with those regions with smaller differences, there are areas where the difference is significantly more than 1.0 degree, suggesting the discrepancies among the various models. As was the theme of the discussion in the cool room yesterday, this was viewed as exciting as it provided something as close to an objective "road map" of where to fly. He also pointed out here was not look for model model differences but to test how our systems are integrated by the cyberinfrastructure. He asked for comments, and John Orcutt soon chimed in that while there are examples of real-time assimilation into models (e.g. SCCOOS and Monterey) this is, he asked it this was the first time that the data and subsequent models are used to steer gliders.
Yi and Pierre followed. I add to their list.
In 1998-2001, the HyCODE/COMOP efforts at LEO manually ran models and twice a week provided a four day ensemble of forecasts. All field assets (REMUS, plane, boat, glider) used those forecast to plan their experiments. Those experiments were a collection of distributed efforts serving many needs, so scientists scattered "Much like Monty Python's race for people with no sense of direction.
Progress evolved during the e ASAP experiment in 2006, scientists were distributed in a virtual mode. Models were used to assimilate data collected from the field. While people were looking at model forecasts, but the end-to-end loop was being developed. FDuring this effort however models were used to guide the gliders and AUVs, the MB06 group even planned glider paths in real-time as well as horizontal and vertical yoyo's for the AUVs (done for PLUSNet, in real-time).
In 2007, with Pierre & Henrik's teams, guided the Kayaks directly from model forecasts that posted waypoints in web file on a website that the Kayaks read via iridium, with no human in the loop. These efforts continue in 2008 and 2009.
In 2008, there was the MB08 experiment, and the network did collect some EO-1 Hyperion images, but it was not coordinated with gliders and models. Scientists guessed where the was interesting feature (the north bay) was interesting, so Steve Chien's team uploaded commands to steer the satellite imager toward that general direction.
As you said, this is the first time that we complete the sensor web loop end-to-end, including in situ and satellite sensors, assimilative and forecasting models, and use 3D forecasted current to optimize the glider trajectories/waypoints. The next is couple that to the Hyperion overflight for Saturday.
The take home message the vision of distributed end to end system, all in the team have been working is evolving rapidly. On a personal note, thinking back to the 1998 experiments, it is exciting to see this evolution, and I would submit this history and present state should be a focus of manuscript by this team. We should think a nice venue to share that exciting history!
Today was an exciting day during the OSSE. We had friendly debate and lots of great ideas. This is what the future of oceanography can be, and I feel very lucky to be part of it. We also had give the strategy to the JPL path planner to provide the gliders the next set of waypoints.
The crux of the debate was where do we send the gliders? The AUV? Where should we send the U. Deleware glider? What should be the glider configuration for the saturday Hyperion satellite pass? What science do we want to address?
Several in the group wanted to get gliders to the north to resolve some interesting transport issues. See Yi's thoughts in the earlier blog. Others wanted to head the gliders in nearshore to confirm the presence of the winter bloom? Others wanted to fan out in the mid-shelf in parallel lines to validate models? Discussion of the way forward continued in discussion in many of the groups late into the afternoon. Given uncertainities that need to be resolved about shipping lanes, to figure out where are the safe northern zones, the inital decision to give the JPL scientists time to run the path planner, a decision was to fan out the gliders as they head in back to the mid shelf. Tomorrow we will figure out the distribution to cover uncertainity in the north and anchor the shelf wide modeling efforts. The gliders are making good progress. They are now heading onshore, this path planning is cool!
In the afternoon, discussion continued for over an hour with Julia Leven, Scott Glenn, Wendell Brown, Oscar Schofield, and Javier Zavaka-Garay. Currently the path planner uses the ensemble model to guide the path planner. One issue is that we know all the models have different uncertainities and errors. We focused our discussion on the variability in the currents as this is what influences the ability of the gliders to fly. Below is ensemble currents, below that are variance in the u and v components between the models. Our discussion focused on using the gliders to minimize the variance (decrease the red areas), and how that might be a path forward for how we prioritize missions in the next two weeks. The cross shore lines tonight should help minimize the uncertianity in the mid shelf where the winter bloom is occuring, and then we plan how to resolve the northern area that is of interest to a bunch of the OSSE science team. What a great day to be an oceanographer!

PETERS TOWNSHIP >> Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg have identified the driver of the tractor-trailer that ran into a woman's home Wednesday morning.
The incident began around 7:30 a.m., when Brooklyn, New York resident Mirbek Omurkanov, 29, was driving downhill on a section of Buchanan Trail West toward a construction area, where Jennifer Lymnm Suder, 44, Mercersburg, was stopping to allow workers to cross, police said.
Omurkanov was driving too fast to "properly react' to the construction zone, police said, and collided with Suder, police said. Omurkanov continued forward and hit a cement barrier being moved across the road. The truck then hit the residence at 14540 Buchanan Trail West.
After being hit, Suder's vehicle was forced to collide with a bus stop on the north side of the road, police said.
Homeowner Jacqueline Nellig, 64, was in the room next to where the truck hit her home, and suffered minor injuries, police said. Suder also suffered minor injuries, and was transported to the hospital by her husband. There was also an unidentified male occupant of the tractor-trailer that had been sleeping in the truck, who was transported to Meritus Medical Center in Hagerstown, Maryland for minor injuries.
No charges have been filed against Omukanov as of press time July 23.
THEFT >> A woman is accused of stealing gas Wednesday evening, Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg said. The woman arrived at Etters Auto Service and Fuel around 5:41 p.m. Wednesday, and she pumped around $28.60 worth of gas into her vehicle, police said. The woman then left the store without paying.
Police did not provide a description of the woman.
CORRUPTION OF MINORS >> An unidentified 33-year-old Chambersburg man is accused of giving a tablet of an unknown substance to a 7-year-old boy, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg. The incident occurred at a 4 p.m. June 16 at a home in the 1500 block of Greenway Drive, police said.
ASSAULT >> Dustin Michael Rexroth, 29, is accused of assaulting a woman around 5:40 p.m. July 1, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg. Rexroth pushed a 25-year-old woman to the ground and began choking her, police said. When he let go of the woman, she went to another room and Rexroth followed her, picked up her shoes and slapped her in the lower back with it.
THEFT >> A Chambersburg man is accused of taking an 81-year-old man's checkbook and writing checks to himself, Pennsylvania State Police, Chambersburg said.
Ryan Michael Allison, 19, was employed by a home care agency and was providing care for the elderly Upper Strasburg man, police said.
In addition to the theft of a checkbook, police believe Allison also stole a property tax rebate check and $400 in cash.
ASSAULT >> An unidentified Shippensburg man is accused of stabbing another man with a steak knife, Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle said.
The Shippensburg man accused the other man of knocking on his door and ringing his doorbell throughout the day, police said. The victim denied the allegations, and said he told the suspect to leave him alone at 8:20 p.m. July 18, in the 100 block of Walnut Bottom Road. During that time, the suspect stabbed the other man in the knee with a steak knife, police said.
The victim was treated by Shippensburg EMS at the scene. Charges are pending.
HARASSMENT >> Two Gardners residents fought over some pigs, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle. Pigs belonging to Larry Lynn Shaulis, 58, entered the garden of Brian Martin Pieton, 54, around 7 p.m. July 18, police said. When Pieton scared the pigs from his garden, Shaulis went to Pieton's home and engaged in an argument, police said.
Shaulis is accused of grabbing, scratching and punching Pieton, police said.
Charges have not been filed against Shaulis.

AU Patrols in Darfur to Protect Against Rape
The United Nations and international observers have identified rape as a tool used by Arab Janjaweed militias to terrorize women and girls in Sudan's war-torn Darfur region. The African Union force charged with monitoring Darfur has tried to combat the threat of rape in the most unsettled areas. Noel King reports for VOA from Otash camp in south Darfur.
African Union civilian police and military observers drive deep into the bush outside of Otash camp in Nyala, South Darfur.
Their mission is to patrol the remote area north of Otash, where thousands of Darfuri women and girls trek several times each week to collect firewood.
In order to cook the food rations the women are given by humanitarian agencies, they must leave the relative safety of the camp to collect firewood. Once outside, they face the threat of rape by armed militias known as Janjaweed.
In Sudan, as in many other societies, rape is a source of shame, and though it is rampant, many women fear reporting rape to Sudanese authorities.
AU civilian police chief inspector Henry Tanor explained to VOA why the firewood patrols were deemed necessary.
"When they go to the bush, the people try to rape them. So, all the time they come and report that when they went for firewood they have been raped and they have been attacked by Janjaweed," he said. "So they fear going to the bush. But they are compelled to go. Most of them live on this firewood."
Five kilometers from the camp, the patrol came upon two women wearing tattered robes and carrying heavy axes, used to cut the wood.
At first, they shied away as the AU police officers got out of their cars, but when they saw AU Captain Debbie Omoruan the woman looked relieved. Omoruan explained to VOA that it is important to have women police officers accompany the patrols.
"They are clamoring for us to come to the bush with them," she said. "That's why I have my women here. When the women are also here they feel very safe. Because [when] they see women the fear relaxes."
Later that same day, things went slightly awry.
Two young women collecting wood on a hillside heard the AU patrol approach and, believing they were in danger, began scrambling over the hills to get away.
AU civilian police and military observers, along with a young Sudanese police officer who was with the patrol, chased after them shouting greetings. In time, the mistake was made clear.
One of the women, Hawa Adam Abdel Nour, told VOA they were running, because they were afraid.
"This is the place where the Arabs used to attack us," she said. "When we saw you we thought you were here to attack. The attackers wore the uniform of the Sudanese police. We used to think they were here to protect us but they would take the young women away and beat the older ones,".
Observers often wonder why women leave the camp at all, instead of the men.
Another Sudanese woman interviewed for this story, Khadija Sebit, explains.
"They will just kill the men," she said. "One day 10 men from my village were killed by Janjaweed,".
Sudan is charged with arming and supporting the Arab Janjaweed following a 2003 rebellion by members of predominantly African tribes. In retaliation, the Janjaweed conducted a savage scorched-earth campaign targeting African civilian villages.
Experts estimate that at least 200,000 people have died during the conflict. More than 2 million others fled to camps for the displaced where they live in peril and squalor.
Critics have called the African Union force incompetent, because of its inability to stem violence in the region. But on firewood patrols their mission is often a success.
As the AU police and observers prepared to leave, the women hurriedly lifted bundles of firewood to their heads and followed the African Union patrol back to the camp.
International Court Names Top Suspects in Darfur War Crimes
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has named a former Sudanese state minister and a militia commander as its first two suspects in the case of war crimes in Sudan's Darfur region. VOA's Sonja Pace reports from London on the decision. Court prosecutor, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, outlined 51 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity against former Sudanese state interior minister Ahmed Muhammad Harun and militia leader…
Clashes Erupt Among Sudanese Arabs
The African Union has warned that violent clashes between nomadic Arab tribes are heating up in south Darfur. A series of recently attacks by the Reizegat tribe has paralyzed much of the region. Noel King reports for VOA from Kaas, south Darfur. Schoolchildren in Singita village, south Darfur, sing a song at the start of the school day. They sing, "Oh, bird, I am not a sniper, don't fly away from me." Perhaps strange words for a…
ICRC Deplores Worsening Conditions in Darfur
The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross says conditions are worsening for people in Sudan's province of Darfur, amid increasing violence and deteriorating security. Lisa Schlein reports for VOA from Geneva, where the Red Cross leader briefed reporters on his visit to Darfur. ICRC President Jakob Kellenberger says parts of Darfur are so dangerous that all humanitarian agencies have left. Only the Red Cross remains to minister to the…
US Envoy Returns to Sudan for Darfur Talks
The U.S. special envoy for Sudan, Andrew Natsios, returned to that country Friday in a new effort to expedite deployment of an upgraded peacekeeping force for the Darfur region. The proposed hybrid African Union and United Nations force remains under-subscribed. VOA's David Gollust reports from the State Department. Officials here say Ambassador Natsios will spend as many as ten days in Sudan, meeting with officials of the Khartoum government and…

Why many Canadians don't love self-checkout
A new survey suggests that while a majority of Canadians are up for trying self-checkout at the grocery store, few have actually embraced it. A food retail expert suspects mediocre technology is to blame.
Only 11 per cent of respondents in a survey said they use the automated machines regularly
Sophia Harris · CBC News · Posted: Dec 01, 2018 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: December 1, 2018
Most Canadian shoppers don't use self-checkout at grocery stores on a regular basis, a new survey suggests. (CBC)
Brendan Best says self-checkout isn't worth his time because something often goes wrong, forcing him to seek out assistance.
"I would not like to have that type of hassle, so I try to go through cashier lines," said Best, who lives in Halifax.
"There's nothing in it for me."
A new grocery shopping study out of Dalhousie University suggests many Canadians have dabbled in self-checkout, but few have found reason to embrace the technology — which, along with reducing labour costs, is supposed to make shopping more convenient.
Out of 1,053 people surveyed in October, two-thirds said they have tried the machines when grocery shopping. However, just 11 per cent of those shoppers report that they use them regularly, while the rest opt to use self-checkout only occasionally.
By the end of 2016 there were 255,000 self-checkout machines in stores around the world. (CBC)
The survey's margin of error is 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Its principal investigator suspects uptake is low due to self-checkout's "mediocre" technology.
"They're going to have to do a better job in getting the right technology in place if they want to capitalize on self-checkout," said Sylvain Charlebois, a professor at Dalhousie University specializing in food distribution and policy.
Call the attendant
Self-checkouts debuted in North America in the early 1990s and are now a staple at many major Canadian retail stores.
Although the technology has advanced over the years, it remains a source of frustration for many shoppers who have opted not to use the machines on a regular basis.
Shirley Fourney of Saskatoon says she uses self-checkout only when buying a few small items because she finds the bagging area has limited space.
Walmart ramps up self-checkout, scales down 'scan and go' shopping
"The automated bagging thing keeps saying, 'Put it in your bag. Put in your bag.' Well, no, I didn't because [it's] 10 pounds of potatoes," Fourney said.
"It's just inconvenient."
Brendan Best in Halifax says scanning snafus can also happen with small items.
"You have a thing of floss and you've already put it in the baggage area and it's not reading it and then you're going, 'Sir, sir, ma'am, ma'am, I need help.'"
Brendan Best of Halifax says he only uses self-checkout occasionally because he actually finds checking out with the cashier is often faster. (submitted by Brendan Best)
Valerie Menard says she often experiences problems when scanning items without bar codes that require extra steps, such as produce that must be weighed or items from the bakery.
"Whenever I've tried to do it with more than a few items or produce or a baked good, I'll have to get another staff member for help," said Menard, who lives in Waterdown, Ont.
"It just doesn't seem like it's saving anyone time."
She also finds scanning and bagging items a challenge when trying to keep an eye on her one-year-old son.
"Going through self-checkout isn't practical. We have children to watch."
Some shoppers also said they avoid using self-checkouts regularly for a reason that doesn't actually involve its technology: they're worried about putting cashiers out of work.
"The cashiers need the jobs," said Fourney in Saskatoon.
Of course, not everyone has gripes about self-checkout.
Bob Munson of Nelson, B.C., says he uses the machines whenever possible to avoid getting bogged down in "unneeded chit-chat" with the cashier.
"I'm shopping. I'm not there to make friends," he said. "I like to get the machine that does the job and just go."
Loblaws cranks up self-checkout with app that scans items while you shop
While Munson may be in the minority at the moment, professor Charlebois believes that will change.
In the age of automation, self-checkout is here to stay, he says. As the technology improves, he expects more shoppers will buy in — once they feel it truly makes their lives more convenient.
"The digitization of the grocery business is inevitable," he said.
Already, self-checkouts are changing. Major global supplier NCR recently announced it was incorporating image-scanning technology that eliminates the need for weight-based detection of scanned items. That means no more need for that annoying automated voice reminding you to place your items in the bagging area.
At Amazon Go, customers can take what they want without checking out thanks to technology that detects when products are removed from store shelves. (Amazon)
Some retail experts expect people will embrace self-checkout when it looks more like Amazon Go, a cashier-less store created by online shopping giant, Amazon.
Thanks to technology that detects when products are removed from store shelves, Amazon Go shoppers take what they want and just walk out.
Customers are billed via their Amazon accounts.
"Amazon Go is almost seamless," said Toronto retail consultant Bruce Winder. "It definitely, I think, has great potential because I see the value for customers."
Only seven Amazon Go stores exist so far, all in the U.S., but up to 3,000 more are reportedly in the works.
Dalhousie University professor Sylvain Charlebois suggests many shoppers aren't embracing self-checkout due to 'mediocre' technology. (Radio-Canada)
Until such technology becomes mainstream, Charlebois suggests retailers could attract more customers to self-checkout by offering an incentive, such as a product discount.
"Why not reward a behaviour you want to see in your store?"
Best says an added perk might help him change his mind about self-checkout.

Self-checkouts: Who really benefits from the technology?


Before you sit down to write your resume, there's one crucial question you need to answer first: should my resume be written in first or third person?
Below is an example of how to take a basic, generic bullet point and make it valuable by adding an action verb and number to quantify your responsibilities.
Generic responsibility: Processed monthly payroll.
Quantified Responsibility: Processed monthly payroll for 100 employees.
Then, add the system you used. A good formula to follow is: say what you did, the quantity by which you did it, and the system you used to do it.
Quantified Responsibility with System: Processed monthly payroll for 100 employees using QuickBooks.
"Processed" is the action verb, "monthly payroll" is what you did, "100 employees" quantifies your accomplishment, and QuickBooks is the system you used.
When writing your resume, be cognizant of your use of past or present tense. Use present tense to describe your current position and past tense for your previous positions.
To better organize your resume, utilize bolded and italicized words. Be consistent: if you bold a company name under your experience section, bold all the company names in that section. If you italicize dates for one position, do the same for all your other positions.
Finally, make sure to write your resume yourself. Don't use a resume writing service or have a friend write it for you. Recruiters see hundreds of resumes a week. They can tell when someone wrote their resume themselves and when they didn't. No one knows you better than yourself. Your resume will always be more successful if you write it.

Zamani Ibrahim, the frontman of popular 90s Malaysian band Slam, was arrested in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday (Jan 21) for alleged drug abuse.
While under arrest, a video was taken of him being asked to sing his band's hit song Gerimis Mengundang, while his right hand was cuffed.
About a minute into the video, he stops singing and asks sheepishly if he's sung enough.
A voice behind the camera can be heard asking the singer to continue.
The clip has since gone viral.
Many of those online expressed their outrage at how the singer was treated.
Whoever took that video of Zamani singing while handcuffed is zalim and irresponsible.
The police who took video of zamani singing in handcuffs, i personally think that is disrespectful.
Some called for the person who recorded the video to be punished.
The police who recorded Zamani's video should be handcuffed instead. You heartless moron.
Malaysian police say they will investigate and take action against the individuals who recorded and distributed the video online.
Zamani, 43, was arrested at his house in Ampang, Kuala Lumpur with an unidentified 32-year-old woman for alleged drug abuse, reported Astro Awani.
The Star Online reported that the woman was allegedly in possession of a plastic container with 1.2g of heroin.

Israel lifts ban on same-sex surrogacy in "historic" move
Israel has lifted surrogacy restrictions that prevented same-sex couples and single men from becoming parents via this route.
Announcing the move at a news conference on 4 January, Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz confirmed that a circular had been issued by the ministry which equalises access to surrogacy.
"It is a historic day for the LGBTQ struggle in Israel," he said.
Surrogacy was previously only available to heterosexual couples and single women, vastly limiting those able to use the means of becoming parents.
"Today, we are putting an end to years of injustice and discrimination," the Health Minister, who is also openly gay, added. "A week from today, we will also give equal access to surrogacy in Israel to single men, future fathers, as well as [male] homosexual couples – actually to any individual. Today we are issuing the director general's new circular, which enshrines the High Court ruling and revises the procedures in the law."
Horowitz also confirmed that transgender people will be able to access surrogacy in the country.
"From now on at the ministry, we will relate to every parent and family in an equal manner," he stated. "Everyone has the right to be a parent. Transgender individuals will also be able to obtain surrogacy in Israel."
It follows a Supreme Court ruling in July that banning same-sex couples and single men from access to surrogacy was a violation of their rights and must be altered within six months.
זה קורה. היום אנחנו עושים היסטוריה. בדיוק כפי שהתחייבנו, בעוד שבוע מהיום נאפשר גם ללהט"בים גישה שווה לפונדקאות בישראל.
אנחנו הופכים את מערכת הבריאות הישראלית לאחת המתקדמות ביותר בעולם ביחס לקהילה הגאה ולכל אדם באשר הוא ובאשר היא.
גאווה והתרגשות גדולה. pic.twitter.com/HF3C5uZwCb

Scarlett Harlett issues heartfelt statement after latest Drag Race UK episode
In August, Israel lifted a longstanding ban on blood donations made by gay man.
"There's no difference between one blood and the other," Horowitz explained. "Discrimination against gays in donating blood is over.
"When I became minister, I ordered the removal of the degrading and irrelevant questions from the blood donation questionnaire — remnants of a stereotype that belongs to history."
The move was praised by Israeli LGBTQ+ rights groups, who said it is a key step towards equality in the country.
Gal Wagner Kolasko, head of the Israeli LGBT Medical Associations, thanked the health minister for making the "historical correction."
He said: "Now there are safe blood doses for all without discrimination or harming human rights. Because discrimination also causes serious damage to health."

In 1718 a recently freed family of indentured workers inherits the small uninhabited Bull Island off the Carolina coast. The family consist of husband and wife, one son, and a second son who they bought as a baby. The local fishermen who were already using the island think they own the island and attempt to force the family to leave, during which the husband is killed. The conflict over the island escalates as more people including a castaway, a fugitive from justice, and hired heavies join each side. Not everyone is who they seem to be or claim to be.

ARSENE WENGER has pleaded with Theo Walcott to stay at Arsenal and be his new Robin van Persie.
Wenger met Walcott yesterday for talks after his contract negotiations with the club broke down.
The Gunners have offered a five-year deal worth £75,000 a week. But Walcott wants closer to £100,000.
Despite claiming their offer was a final one, it is understood the Londoners have come to an agreement with Walcott and his advisers that he will not leave during the current transfer window.
That buys the club some time, particularly as they are desperate not to sell him to Liverpool or Manchester City.
Wenger also tempted Walcott by telling the winger he was ready to try him as a central striker.
Walcott has made no secret of his burning desire to play down the middle, speaking about it on numerous occasions.
Starsport can reveal the England star, 23, has impressed Wenger with his finishing in training, ironically having a sensationally good session on Tuesday, the day news broke about contract talks stalling.
The last time Walcott spoke about his dream position was in April. "I am not the sort of player who likes to tell the manager I want to play up front and argue why it isn't happening," he said.
Sources close to the ex-Southampton star have confirmed his wish is to be offered a better deal and stay at the Emirates.
With Arsenal goalless in their opening two league games, trying Walcott through the middle has become a more inviting option for Wenger.
Walcott has a decent scoring record for the club, having claimed 11 goals last season and 13 the campaign before.
Van Persie, now at Manchester United, bagged 37 goals in all competitions last season.

Joe Shepherd was tired of spending money on a bag of jerky, only to bite and pull – eventually giving up – on pieces that were impossible to chew. He decided to take matters into his own hands, creating a better, easy-to-eat jerky. Cow Chips Beef Jerky was born.
Made from all-premium choice beef, Cow Chips is easy to chew, low in fat and high in protein, with approximately 19 grams in each bag. With a shelf life to two or more years, it's perfect for snacking on during hikes or on long road trips.
Shepherd achieved his perfect jerky by using a secret marinating process, then extracting most of the water in the dehydrating process, which results in a light and crispy snack that's easier to chew than traditional jerky. Cow Chips comes in two flavors: original and hot and spicy. Learn more and order some for yourself at cowchipsjerky.com.
Looking forward to trying Cow Chips. Most jerky is too tough for me.
Would love to try your jerky. Like to keep purchases close to home.

Q: JSON_Search() returns null I have a problem with a query. In my DB I have a field that contains a JSON with this format:
[[0, 16, 22, 37, 0, 0, 0, 71, 82],
[0, 18, 0, 36, 43, 0, 60, 0, 88],
[9, 10, 0, 0, 0, 58, 69, 77, 0]]

With this query
SELECT JSON_SEARCH(NumeriJSON, 'all', 77,null, '$[*]') AS Indice FROM Cartella WHERE JSON_CONTAINS(NumeriJSON->'$[*]', '77')

I want to get the position of the number in the JSON, but it returns null. Why? The structure of JSON is valid, because JSON_CONTAINS works well.
Thanks a lot.

A: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/json-search-functions.html#function_json-search says:

*

*JSON_SEARCH(json_doc, one_or_all, search_str[, escape_char[, path] ...])
Returns the path to the given string within a JSON document.

I emboldened the word string. JSON_SEARCH() doesn't work if the values in your JSON are integers.
Your example works if you make them strings:
insert into Cartella (NumeriJson) values (
  '[["0", "16", "22", "37", "0", "0", "0", "71", "82"],
    ["0", "18", "0", "36", "43", "0", "60", "0", "88"],
    ["9", "10", "0", "0", "0", "58", "69", "77", "0"]]');

mysql> select json_search(numerijson, 'all', '77', null, '$[*]') as `index`
    from cartella where json_contains(numerijson->'$[*]', '"77"');
+-----------+
| index     |
+-----------+
| "$[2][7]" |
+-----------+

This issue was reported as a bug in 2015, but it was closed by simply documenting that it only supports string searches.
Supporting non-strings was then reported as a new feature request in 2018. So far, there is no solution.
In the meantime, you must store integers as strings if you want to use JSON_SEARCH().
I would also recommend to stop using JSON, and instead store integers in normal rows and columns. Then searches for integers work just fine.
P.S. Please don't use the back-formation "indice." There is no such word.

Recommended web host for the quality of service, responsive support, good value overall. Special attention from Yoorshop for safety, a very important criterion for us beyond performance and price.
Very good service, very responsive and attentive.
"In accordance with French law, we inform you that this review has been filed in exchange for a counterparty as described in Article 16.4 of our TOS"
With my previous host I received spam constantly despite anti-spam filters so-called workforce that never sorted the good mails. With yoorshop, all sent emails arrive to their recipients, and all the real spam is ejected by the system. Their mode of operation (sending emails in smtp from prestashop and wordpress in particular) also allows not to be blacklisted, and to prevent possible future PB e-mail. What about the speed of hosting, with the Opcache system based on the server, my site is extremely fast and despite the very low cost of hosting first level, the difference is huge with my previous host. Do not ask them to take the place of your webmaster, if you seek one, they will tell you, but it is not their job. If necessary, however, they will be able to refer you via their knowledge base to the solution they think is the best. Their job is accommodation and they practice it in the best and most transparent way. Their assistance is reactive, and they refer you in the hour, however the main interest in them is that we do not have to resort to it, or rarely. The maintenance tasks in progress are also specified in the back office, and are systematically made during low hours at night ... Thank you for your high-performance services.
Our site was hosted by one of the leaders of the French web but with more and more problems at the level of customer service, not counting the number of times that our ecommerce website was slow or even out of service.
I found a recommendation on Yoorshop and the difference in speed of our website is blatant, always available & even the order feedback via the app is much faster. Their customer service is top because they answer you and find a solution within the hour !
I can advise you 1000% these real actors of the French web for the success of your website !
Excellent service, very responsive, I recommend.
At YOORshop, it is the efficiency of the technical and customer service. The customer service is easily accessible. We are delighted with their tailor-made offers!
Do not hesitate to solicit them to enjoy a trial of their services. and make your choice according to your needs.
After spending 9 years changing servers / hosts in France and abroad, from shared hosting to VPS, I became a fan of YoorShop.
While at others I spent my time optimizing the code of the site, to change plugins, reduce or trim everything that could be to have a site that loads in less than 3 seconds, I finally understood that the best optimization was a proper hosting. When others told me to delete the php code of the site which slowed the connection time (... and why not the images and WordPress with) I finally found at YoorShop a speed of loading of the site which authorizes the use from a CMS such as WordPress.
My site loads in 1.7 seconds at YoorShop instead of 4.5 seconds elsewhere without changing a line of code!
So spending 4 or 5 € more per month for the performance is much cheaper than spending your time changing the theme and especially to get down in SEO by Google PageSpeed.
Before I had shared hosting at a well known provider whose name I will not name. The site was extremely slow, I got hacked many times, the site was regularly down for no reason and the customer service was a disaster. I switched to a Yoorshop VPS and it's the best decision I made this year.
For an equivalent price, the site is much more responsive, no more hacking since and the server is almost all the time online and functional.

Looking for a weeknight spot to grab a quick drink and some food? Seoul Restaurant, located at 156 Cambridge Street in Beacon Hill, is a great spot for a last minute dinner date. The casual atmosphere makes it feel like dining at home, without the cooking or the clean up!
With all the rain that has been consistently falling on Boston, we couldn't eat at home another night: so we decided to make the trek down the hill to Seoul. We arrived, freezing and wet, so we quickly ordered two glasses of Cabernet, the Ramen with Beef and Dumplings and the Spicy Tofu and Seafood Stew to warm us up.
The food is always consistent and good. It would not be my first recommendation to a first timer in Boston, but it is always a quick and easy option in the neighborhood!
The summers, however, are another story! The restaurant is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows along Cambridge Street that are opened to let in the warm summer air. The fresh air, plus the Saki-Bombs, makes Seoul a must-stop before a night out in the summer.
Next time we go, I'd like to try the Korean BBQ combinations...If you get to it first, let me know how it is!

Latest news from The Montefiore Hospital
New Local Partnership Connects Art and Health
Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival have recently announced a new partnership with The Montefiore Hospital, coming together to support community wellbeing via art-focused events and projects.
Brighton Dome works year-round to bring a diverse range of art to the people of Brighton and beyond. The Creative Learning team develop innovative projects, taking art to people who might not otherwise be engaged in the arts and running a rolling programme of workshops, performances and courses. The new partnership with Spire Healthcare's Montefiore Hospital, will allow this community work to develop and grow.
An advocate of using art to benefit wellbeing, The Montefiore Hospital - newly opened in 2012 - was the first hospital to incorporate Brian Eno's atmospheric and tranquil light and music installations in its building design. A full service hospital offering a comprehensive range of diagnostic and surgical services, The Montefiore was designed around its patients, committed to the creation of a comfortable, calming environment from the moment patients walk through the doors.
Kathryn Cooke, Business Development Manager at The Montefiore Hospital. "We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival. Being a champion for such initiatives creates sustained opportunity for art to be made more accessible."
Andrew Comben, Chief Executive Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival says: "We are thrilled to partner with The Montefiore Hospital. Art and culture has a crucial role to play in people's lives beyond entertainment – it can be both stunning and life-changing in one moment and then something that can help people maintain a connection to the world and their own equilibrium. There is also a growing body of evidence to support the fact that participation in the arts can contribute to community cohesion, reduce social exclusion and make communities feel stronger. The value of art in society really cannot be underestimated."

European Capital of Culture in 2013, Marseille has brought in the best architects to become a modern and dynamic city.
The Old Port was entirely redesigned by Norman Foster's architecture firm. Making the site pedestrianised has restored it to its former glory in Marseille's cityscape and given a cool twist to a site that's been here for 26 centuries. The Old Port won an award at the London Royal Academy of Urbanism's prestigious City Awards.
Visitors can stroll from the Old Port to MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilisations) and soak up Marseille's metamorphosis.
The J4 dock used to be for travellers in transit but is now devoted to culture and is home to the majestic collection formed by the 17th century Fort Saint-Jean renovated by Roland Carta, linked by the now famous bridge to MuCEM, a fishnet glass cube designed by architect Rudy RICCIOTTI.
The J4 is also home to the Villa Méditerranée and its bizarre cantilever, the Regards de Provence Museum and Voûtes de la Major which play host to shops and restaurants beneath the watchful eye of the Nouvelle Major Cathedral.
Just a few minutes away, Terrasses du Port shopping centre provides 2600m² of terraces and walkways along the Mediterranean. All these sites can be hired out for private functions.
The Silo, a former grain silo, has been turned into a 2000-seater concert venue with a cocktail room.
Amazing buildings designed by the best architects of our time now share the landscape.


On June 13, 2016, the U.S. Attorneys' Office filed a complaint in the Western District of Washington against the City of Seattle and its department Seattle City Light.
In United States of America v. City of Seattle, the complaint revealed that the FBI had been installing covert video surveillance cameras on city utility poles, as part of an investigation of particular subjects. The federal government is seeking an injunction to prevent the City, which had received a request from a KIRO 7 reporter under the Washington State Public Records Act, from disclosing the location of cameras that the FBI had installed on city utility poles.
The defendant was a software programmer at Goldman Sachs who worked on their High Frequency Trading (HFT) system. This proprietary internal software system ran algorithms to determine when to make trades based on rapidly changing market conditions. Aleynikov left Goldman to take a job offer at a small Chicago software company, which wanted to develop HFT software. However, before leaving Goldman, Aleynikov uploaded significant portions of the HFT code from Goldman servers to a server in Germany. Then, he downloaded that code at home, put it on a flash drive, and took it to Chicago to give to his new employer. He was arrested by the FBI upon his return to New Jersey.
Doug Whitman, the head portfolio manager at Whitman Capital, LLC, was indicted by a New York federal grand jury on insider trading and criminal securities fraud charges (read the indictment below).
The indictment alleges that in 2006 and 2007, Whitman's firm made $900,000 in illegal profits by trading Google and Polycom stocks using material, non-public information that Whitman himself acquired to make the trades.
Whitman is also charged with buying and selling Marvell Technology Group stock and options over roughly two years using insider information.
Facebook and Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna filed lawsuits today (see below) accusing affiliate marketer Adscend Media, LLC along with company co-founders Jeremy Bash and Fehzan Ali of engaging in 'likejacking' a/k/a 'clickjacking' to deceive and trick users into giving out their personal information.
"Likejacking" describes the sleazy practice of tricking Facebook users into clicking a Facebook "Like" button that triggers a malicious activity, like posting a status update in order to spam them and their friends.


The UK has a great tradition of public funding for the arts. Though there is much national pride in the Arts Council, established in 1948, its policy and funding decisions have always been the topic of debate and criticism from all sides of the political spectrum and the artists themselves. The latest round of Arts Council England funding for its National Portfolio Organizations for the period 2018-2022 raised one such debate. With 13 new dance organizations in the portfolio, 64 in total, up from 57, and more investment in hip-hop and South Asian dance, it all seems to be good news. Yet the decision to stop its subsidy for Greenwich Dance, one of London's dance development organizations, caused much upset.
From my experience there are a couple of big changes that impact how we fundraise for dance. Firstly, dance as a sector, is no longer a preserve of only professionally trained (young and able) bodies. Inclusive dance companies and dance classes for older people are mushrooming across the UK. Sadler's Wells, London prestigious dance venue, hosted the Elixir Festival for the fourth year, celebrating lifelong creativity and the contribution of older artists.
There is also an increasing recognition of the role of dance in public health. A cross party group of parliamentarians has just published a report 'Creative Health: The Arts for Health and Wellbeing', calling for increased recognition at government level and a mix of private and public investment in this area.
Arguably, the most significant change recently has been the fact that public bodies outside the arts, such as the National Health Service, are now prepared to invest in dance. For instance, earlier this spring the NHS England announced £2.3m investment in the rollout of a dance-based falls prevention programme by arts and health charity Aesop. The program will run for two years across England and Wales, in collaboration with health and social care providers, and arts organizations including Yorkshire Dance and Birmingham Royal Ballet. I am happy to declare an interest here. DanceWest, the organization I support as a fundraiser, was also recently awarded an NHS grant to run a Bolder Not Older program of free dance classes to improve health and wellbeing and reduce the social isolation of older people in west London.
These are all great developments and provide new job opportunities for dance artists interested to work directly with communities. The question might be – are the UK dance education institutions offering the necessary community dance training to all dance students and not only those on specialist courses? And how could those independent dance artists, already juggling portfolio careers, up skill themselves to respond to that increasing demand for dance in health?
Mil Vukovic-Smart is a London-based dance and performance artist, writer and choreographer. She also works as development manager for DanceWest, the community dance organization for West London.
Secondly, it might be a cliché but dance is happening everywhere, beyond the safe but often insular compounds of dance studios. My favorite project, that I was recently involved with is Dancing Books. It uses literature as inspiration for movement for pre-school children and their families. DanceWest piloted the project in partnership with two local libraries last year. The project was so positively received by the participants and libraries staff alike. We secured further support from the Arts Council Libraries Fund, to extend the program to more libraries across West London.
There is an increasing pressure to fundraise through cultivation of philanthropic giving and crowd funding. I agree with Wigro that we should also be wary of the limitations in that respect: "When it comes to independent artists, I have a hunch that crowd funding circulates money between us, more than it gets 'new' money from other donors into the system; so I think overall it isn't as sustainable as perhaps it is made out to be, especially now that requests to contribute to campaigns are so frequent." For me, it all comes down to relationships, and developing partnerships with people and organizations from all walks of life, dance or not.

Q. In the book, every family member seems so separate from each other. How does this happen in a crowded house?
A. Eight people in a three bedroom home. You would think everyone would be close but the fact of closest quarters–and no room for privacy in the physical sense–causes each individual to create a mental shell to curl up inside of, to protect whatever can be protected. There was in that wretched house a constant sense of panic bordering on the absurd, breeding the absurd. That doesn't lead to the sorts of interactions that naturally develop relationships. So what you had were harried or hysterical interactions continually and not any open, free exchange of thoughts or feelings. "Sharing" seemed liked the worst possible thing that could happen because once you let something out in a house lacking private spaces it would be there for everyone to utilize in any manner they wanted to, and that was scary. So we burrowed and burrowed and burrowed into our brains or–alternately, ran to a neighbor's house or lost ourselves in sports or partying or other activities to relieve that growing sense of despair and isolation amid a mob. In the chapter "The Reinvention of Ice" and also in the epilogue I comment that brothers and sisters were blurs that raced by. Out of loneliness and love and curiosity we sporadically tried to grab each other, reach and hold each other…but there was really nothing that we gave each other to hold on to. We were all spinning fast, on our own singular mental and emotional tracks, out of control, out of luck, yet with this endless frantic sense of trying to move ourselves forward to some elusive better place.
Q. Also every family member seems to harbor these frustrated, but inescapable, artistic ambitions.
A. I think this gets back to the junkification question and the fragmenting of the family core. That hope of dredging from the wreck some kind of restitution and sense. Art is about freedom, and art is about synthesis, and the ideal of art is one that forever appeals to the traumatized, and rightly so. A second chance is to be had there, or seems available. And a tribute to the strength of that appeal is that it existed even in children who were confronted daily with tragic results of parental art worship. My mother never being able to quote accurately poems she loved, and my father's dusty shelves of self-published novels no one would ever read. The art pursuit for these adults was darkened and shadowed in the extreme, but STILL it remained very clear to we children why they refused to relinquish the dream of making art. Art was in fact their only chance left to have a synthesis, to gain a firmer grasp on their shattered reality. There would be no other way. They were people who wouldn't seek medical help. They did not have the money for it, and did not have, I think, the understanding of what it would mean, say, to have the support of a professional in their darkness. They had always been so alone. But solitariness is innate to the art pursuit and art beckoned, in part, because of that. What was hardest to see, and what was most ridiculous at times to see, was how they had fingered art as something good that might help them and yet didn't pursue it seriously. It devolved into those poems sloppily warbled in a parked car with a dead battery as if Dylan Thomas might get us home! It became that moment when my father asked me to take his decades-old writing to a local writing group to read instead of my own fresh writing. And because of that lack of seriousness, that hope of art, unrealized, forever dangling, only served to deepen their confusion.They wanted it–the art cure–to be easier than it ever could be. And there just seemed to be no way inside them to accept the fact that things weren't going to be easy–that they weren't going to get the break they felt they had longed deserved. By break, I guess I mean, incisive sentences and stanzas pouring out like sweet wind. The other wind poured from them: sour. So a genuine love of art devolved into the hollow and bitter gestures. I get this garish image of someone who is drowning and who is thrown the life-ring, and who actually touches the life-ring but then chooses not to cling to it, but rather to lazily put their elbow on it and to rest their head on the elbow. The drowning man, the drowning woman, not clinging to the life-ring! they are sort of, you know, just touching it, not letting it float them, thinking about maybe letting it float them, as if they were not going to drown in a few seconds, as if they had all the time in the world to decide whether to survive. That sums up house extremes of lassitude, of self-neglect. Daily displays of dolor amid crisis drove me, at one point, to post on my bedroom door a sign reading OFFICE HOURS 3-5. I felt all this work needed to be done, and fast.


I work with professional women over 40 who desire to make positive changes in their lives after having faced a divorce that may have left them feeling deflated. Together we face obstacles head on and create a bigger, bolder, more exciting vision than we ever knew possible.
a serious woman who is able to treat and coordinate big groups of people in a professional and respectful way. I really enjoyed working with her.
Debra is smart, competent, and energetic. She provided us with invaluable feedback during a redesign process of a foundational workshop curriculum and then delivered the workshop to numerous classes of students. She's a great teacher and a wonderful colleague!
Debra is a team player who is dedicated to helping other academics succeed. Her ability to respond quickly, in a friendly manner with accurate information to inquiries makes her an important part of the Academic Ladder team. As a coach at the Academic Ladder Writing Club she has shown exemplary skills and knowledge of the challenges faced by academics in developing regular writing habits. She continually provides guidance and up-to-date information in the academic arena.
Debra possesses solid communication skills in both Spanish and English. During her time at CIEE she understood well the needs of our students and responded to issues with clarity, charm and, when necessary, compassion. She is well organized and can manage many tasks simultaneously. Debra works well under pressure, asks questions when necessary, but does not need direct oversight in her work. She is autonomous but works well in groups. She was a delight to have on staff, albeit for a short period, and she would work well in an international education environment.
Debra is an extraordinary writer, delving deep into the soul of a place to truly share it with our readers.
She is consistent with her travel writing articles, both in a timely manner and with a great deal of expertise.
She also does double duty and includes photos, which makes the article even more valuable to our business and our readers.
Her writing is clear, thoughtful, interculturally sensitive, and energetic. She is one of the most conscientious people I've ever worked with, constantly bringing new ideas and connections to the table, so that we can improve our website.
I highly recommend Debra in any capacity, and am grateful for the opportunities we've had to work together.

Network: MTV
Episodes: 12 (half-hour)
Seasons: One
TV show dates: May 9, 2013 — June 29, 2013
Series status: Cancelled
Performers include: Bo Burnham, Armen Weitzman, Caitlin Gerard, Cameron Palatas, Tom Wilson, Kari Coleman, Shelley Hennig, Robbie Amell, and Rory Scovel.
TV show description:
This TV series follows Zach Stone (Bo Burnham), a recent high school graduate who's pursuing the new American Dream; he's going to be famous with no talent whatsoever. From Zach's attempts to become a celebrity chef or a ring-tone recording artist to purposefully going missing, he'll try any avenue to get noticed and stop at nothing until he reaches fame. Chaos, awkwardness and embarrassment ensue in this clever and timely series that serves as a comedic send-up of today's current culture of instant celebrity.
Instead of investing his time and money in a college education, Zach is spending his life savings to pay a film crew to follow him around. Though the cameras may impede on quality time with his college-bound friends and drive his family insane, Zach is convinced this "behind-the-scenes footage of a pre-celebrity" will be a hot commodity when he's one day, inevitably famous.
Greg (Armen Weitzman) is Zach's soft-spoken and loyal best friend. They weren't the coolest kids in high school, but Zach tries to convince him that the show is their chance to shine before Greg heads to college at the end of the summer.
Amy (Caitlin Gerard) is Zach's oldest friend and seems to be the only person that can bring him back down to earth when his pre-celebrity wheels start spinning. Whether they are going out for iced coffees, or attempting to avoid awkwardness at a party, it's when they're together that Zach feels most like himself. Could there be something more to this relationship? Is an on-screen romance too risky?
Andy (Cameron Palatas) is Zach's overachieving, popular younger brother, who can barely tolerate his fame-seeking antics. He's smart, an incredible athlete, and doesn't parade around the house in a dress followed by a camera crew — needless to say, he's the family's pride and joy.
Zach's dad (Tom Wilson) is an old-school man's man and is not so happy about Zach's current quest to become a "star" at any cost. Doubting that Zach can actually become famous for no reason, Mr. Stone believes more in a hard day's work than Zach's "get famous quick" schemes.
Mrs. Stone (Kari Coleman) is initially hesitant about Zach's show (especially with the camera crew's frequent footage of her in her bathrobe), but still tries to be supportive of her older son. Whether it's allowing him to "headline" at a funeral, or teaching him to cook so that he can play Top Chef, Zach's mom helps him be himself no matter what aspirations he has at the moment.
Christy (Shelley Hennig) was the hottest, most popular girl at school — and therefore has no idea who Zach is. That is, until, she sees the cameras. Now she's practically part of his entourage, and with that on-camera sex appeal at his side, her motives are the least of Zach's worries. Zach's friend Amy, however, feels differently — and her concern over Christy's presence could drive a wedge between her and Zach.
Nick (Robbie Amell) went to the same high school as Zach and Amy but graduated a couple years prior. He's currently attending college and working as a trainer at the local gym during the summer. When Nick starts to pursue Amy romantically, Zach quickly becomes jealous.
Pat (Rory Scovel) is Zach's manager at the local no-frills supermarket. He often gets caught mugging for the cameras whenever he can — trying hard to be the cool, funny, and self-proclaimed "Genius Boss." He definitely gives Zach an uncommon leniency in exchange for a chance at his own few minutes of fame.
Series Finale:
Episode #12 — "Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous (No, Really)"
Good Morning Boston prepares to do a story on Zach's journey to fame, which just causes more drama with his family and Amy. The latter had ambiguously told Zach that she wanted to be "more than friends" that morning.
Zach winds up pushing his brother Andy over the edge. He leaves after telling Zach that he's embarrassed to be his brother. Zach retorts that he doesn't want Andy to be in the report. Instead, Zach gets his overweight Asian-American boom operator to play his brother.
As the news team starts filming, Zach ends up making his parents even more aggravated. After a near misshap with the electric saw, his dad storms into the house. He accuses his wife of enabling Zach. She denies this at first, but when Zach calls them selfish for holding up the report, she agrees. They finally decide to stop putting up with him and kick him out of the house.
That night, he sleeps at Greg's house who tells Zach that he's always welcomed to visit him at his dorm when he goes to college. Zach has some time to reflect. The next morning, when he to the news studio for an interview, he tells the audience that, while the footage made the family look ideal and happy, that's not really the case. He admits that he's been selfish, and has been destroying his relationship with everyone he's cared about in trying to be famous. He also says that he's in love with Amy.
He storms out of the studio to go find Amy who's left for college without saying goodbye. Back at his dressing room, Zach is giving a hardy goodbye to his camera crew when Amy enters the room. She's seen everything and the two of them kiss and become boyfriends and girlfriend. Zach tells her that he's done trying to be famous.
Holding hands, they walk out of the studio. They're then stormed by a small crowd of fans. Everyone begins chanting his name and fans ask him to sign autographs. As Zach does this, he starts singing his theme to himself.
We see Amy's smile begin to fade and slowly become a frown. The old Zach is back.

My 11 year old son and I discovered this show on Netflix absolutely LOVED it and totally binge watched! We just cracked up the whole time…especially my son. We talk about all our favorite funny parts and crack ourselves up all over again. We are so sad and disappointed it Zach Stone wasn't renewed. Nothing to watch with my 11 year old now(can't take those Disney shows!)…hopefully MTV will change their mind??
I can't believe it got canceled. This was probably the best comedy on TV, and for some reason it was on MTV. Obviously they didn't deserve to have it on their channel because they didn't see it's full potential or give it another chance. What they should have done in the first place is advertise for it obviously. I didn't even know it was on air until the middle of the season. So maybe if more people knew about it, it had some advertising and hype, it would have done better. It's a shame, it was a fantastic show that… Read more »
I feel kind of bad that it was cancelled this show was actually pretty funny to me I watched it everyday. I was really excited for it to come out now both of my favorite tv shows have been cancelled first BUCKWILD now this MTV is making some bad decisions.

In just a few minutes you showed me things to improve the insulation and stop air flow from outside I never thought about.

Q: Codeigniter passing two values on callback (form_validation) I'm trying to pass two values to a function, so that i can check the username and password for the users. However, i can't get it to work. When i have one value, there is ne problem doing this. But how can i pass more than one value?
function($val1, $val2)
This is my code
http://pastebin.com/JKnTEqLN

A: If you want to pass two variables to your function, change line 6
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|alpha|xss_clean|callback__check_login');

to
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|alpha|xss_clean|callback__check_login[$val1,$val2]');

For more than two values, youll need to use http_build_query($val2) and then explode it inside of your function

A: (please correct me if I didn't get the question right:)
I wouldn't do that way.
Instead of using the _check_login() function callback as a validator for the username field (which doesn't really make sense, imho), why not call the check_login($username,$password) function WHEN the input fields are validated?
So
  if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE)
  {
   $this->load->view('user_login');
  }
  else
  {
    $this->user_model->check_login();
  }

In User model you will be doing the check
Anyway, that's what the form_validation library is for, to validate inputs, not to elaborate datas.
If you just wanna check the existence of a user (to avoid duplicates, for example) to validate the input field, then you don't need the $password parameter, so the callback would work just fine.

A: public function score_check($name, $arr)
    {If you would like to pass two variables I have found the best way to create an array with both variables.
$arr = array($val1, $val2);
$this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'required|alpha|xss_clean|callback__check_login['.$arr.']');

Your callback would be something like
public function check_login($str, $arr) {
      $val1  = $arr[0];
      $val2 = $arr[1];
}

Hope that helps
