Getting to Know Your City
By Jim LaVilla-Havelin
You're relocating to San Antonio. Welcome! You have some time to yourself before you get on a plane and head back to wherever it is you're coming from. Take a look around your new city for a sense of the flavor of the town—San Antonio points of interest you may come to love and think of as part of home.
What to do in San Antonio?
Do some neighborhoods. Drive through Monte Vista and Olmos Park—amazing mansions, twisting streets and old trees. At the edges of the neighborhoods, park and walk through Trinity University.
Drive through the Deco District. Up Fredericksburg Road, you'll begin to see tiled signage created by the young people of Askew (a teen arts program) and sleek buildings which define the area; the H-E-B supermarket has a deco look. And stop in the Bihl Haus, one of San Antonio's art galleries, a lovingly restored stone building on the grounds of Primrose Apartments.
Walk through King William. If you're going to eat at the Guenther House, visit the galleries of the Blue Star Arts complex then walk back through the streets of King William. View old mansions and bungalows in this relaxed and historic neighborhood. At the edge nearest to downtown, you'll find the San Antonio Art League Museum.
The bush-like flowers in pinks, whites and purples you see everywhere are not lilacs. No scent—they're crape myrtle and they're everywhere for much of the late spring and through the summer. In the early spring, Indian Hawthorn and Mountain Laurel (they smell like grape jelly) show up, and if you are out on the highway, that pond of blue you see nestled in the grass—those are bluebonnets—Texas wildflowers. You can thank Lady Bird Johnson for the roadsides and medians covered with wildflowers, a riot of colors—Indian Paintbrush, Mexican Blanket, Mexican Hat, Evening Primrose, and those Bluebonnets. Yes, the pecans are fresh. See that tree.
Listen to a Tejano music station. A Tejano music station will introduce you to the accordion in ways you've never heard before, even if you like Cajun music. And most of the time you'll bump into at least one song of Selena's. But listen also for the band Intocable, and the singer Michael Salgado. It's not a bad way to pick up a little Spanish too. "Corazon" is heart and "lagrimas" are tears—lots of both in pop songs.
Go shopping. The Quarry, The Shops at La Cantera, North Star Mall, The Rim, and the Forum all have great places to shop.
El Mercado, on the near Westside of downtown, is graced with the restaurant, Mi Tierra, open 24/7. In addition to its full Mexican fare, it has a remarkable three-dimensional mural of San Antonio's story, people and history. And while we're speaking of San Antonio three-dimensionally, take in the video/art projection "San Antonio/The Saga," played on the Main Plaza façade of San Fernando Cathedral downtown every Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 9pm, 9:30pm and 10pm.
Men, try a guayabara shirt. Even if not flashy with lots of stitching, it is just a cool, casual cotton or linen shirt that you can wear just about anywhere in town.
Eat a Mexican breakfast – a breakfast taco or an order of migas or chilaquiles, both essentially Mexican-style scrambled eggs, plus.
Read about the city in fiction and non-fiction: Char Miller, John Dos Santos, Naomi Nye, Rick Riordan, Henry Guerra, and Sandra Cisneros have written about San Antonio.
Try a paleta (Mexican popsicle) at El Paraiso, especially in the summer.
Travel through The Pearl, a re-imagined community of restaurants, condominiums and apartments, and continue to Alamo Heights, a city within San Antonio, just up Broadway from downtown, and while there, visit among other places, the H-E-B Central Market if you're missing your own high-end supermarket.
Visit the Botanical Garden: Visit the San Antonio Botanical Garden where you'll find a broad range of flowering plants, special floral displays, flowering diversity, and experiences that connect you with the "real" world. The Garden is a top San Antonio attraction that serves as a museum…of plants, the out-of-doors, a conservation facility where art, architecture, music, and theater experiences come to life. All built into this special complex you'll venture back to often.
My focus has been within Loop 410. Head outside, even beyond Loop 1604. There has been so much growth north, east, west, and south of the loops the last thirty years. While not old and historic, areas outside of the downtown area will surprise you.

By giving the Agent access to their sub folder, they can listen and learn from their own conversation. The Supervisor can have access to all sub folders and can easily find back the right recording.
Ideal for training purposes or incident and crisis management situations where the sequence of events can be re-played. Based on the incoming call or hunted agent, it might be helpful to record the full engagement between the agent and the caller, including the exact sequence of events; the full screen of the caller is recorded for the duration of the call and stored in SharePoint for easy access. This is ideal for training purposes or incident and crisis management situations where the sequence of events can be re-played.
Dialogue Management
Timerjobs
The UCC can behave differently depending on the time of day. A simple example is that the IVR will greet a caller with "Good morning", "Good afternoon" and "Good evening" at appropriate times. More advanced time-related changes are thus also supported via the SharePoint template of the UCC.
Group Voicemail
In case the UCC is closed or the queue is too long to serve new customers, it is possible for them to leave a voice mail and send these voice mails to SharePoint automatically. This makes it possible to playback voice mails and serve customers at a later stage.

I first met him during a pre-monsoon shower. The winds had picked up and excited I had stepped out of home to watch dust blowing over the streets. It is a beautiful moment to watch when people forget their worries and become focused on their next step, managing their clothes and belongings, hurrying to a shelter or home. Only children continue to play, adapting to the winds, unwilling to return home.
He stood outside a South Indian tiffin joint with his panipuri basket – the puris, the tamarind mint water, and potato mix. From his looks I knew he was from somewhere north of India. A Upite or Bihari. An outsider to a community of predominant Telugus. An outsider by language and class.
I went up to him and asked for a plate of panipuri. He looked at me surprised and then went about his task. As I gulped his panipuris (and they were delicious, one of the best I had in South), we talked. He told me about his business will suffer when the monsoons arrive. People are afraid to have panipuris during rains because of the water, he said.
The rain started falling and he moved his basket under a shade. I continued gulping a second plate. A plate that suffered the winds, bespattered by raindrops, standing by a man, who was so delighted that he offered variations of the prep.
Thereafter I started to stop by his shop every few days. Sometimes he tells me about how the traffic police harass him, sometimes about how he misses home and the fights that his brothers have over some land. And the difference of women in his village and those here in the city. And that he can't marry yet and the dowry offered was too little. I listen and watch him bristle– a short caramel-brown guy with a drooping moustache and boycut pitch-black hair. I know what it is to be an outsider.
He has become bold enough to experiment dishes with me. He wants to start a chat corner and have a menu printed. And would I try his dahi papdi. And the special aloo chaat. I don't say no to food.
The other day when I stopped by his basket, he ordered other men to make space for me. They moved hurriedly as if a VIP had arrived. I smiled quietly. Sometimes I am the first to eat from his basket for the day. He prays before he opens his basket, asks me to check the taste of the water, and then starts to serve. I usually pay him Rs 21 on such occasions. I like the ritual of "bouni" and of the many people, I would rather he have a successful business for the day.
As a child, I hardly ever ate out. While my brother knew where to buy puchkaa, aloo kabli and aloor dam, I began experimenting with other foods only after 16. And mostly in friends' homes. In their mothers and grandmothers' kitchens.
At long last I have my favourite panipuriwala, my claim to an asset, in a transient world of ephemeral interests. And my panipuriwala knows exactly how I like my panipuris – keep changing the taste 😊.

Asia's Recovery Roadmap for Luxury
As demand in western markets lags behind, Asian shoppers hold more power than ever over luxury brands' bottom lines. From China to Japan and Singapore to South Korea, here's where demand is roaring — and where it's reeling.
How is luxury consumption faring across Asia's top markets? | Collage by BoF
Zoe Suen
LONDON, United Kingdom — Though indiscriminate, the coronavirus pandemic has reinforced inequality among individuals and businesses currently struggling to find their feet in the face of a new reality. The same can be said within luxury: the sector's giants will largely brush off losses and supply chain disruptions while small and medium-sized players suffer.
Zoom out further and the luxury markets themselves aren't recovering at the same pace either. It comes as no surprise that mainland China, hit first and hard by Covid-19, has seen a rebound in luxury demand, buoyed by an advanced e-commerce infrastructure. But even within the technologically fast-moving Asia Pacific region, few markets can expect a similar trajectory.
For luxury brands, the global health and economic crisis has only underlined the importance of markets in the Asia Pacific region, which according to Euromonitor generated luxury goods sales worth $438 billion in 2019, more than any other region globally.
A year earlier, Bain & Company found that Asian shoppers were already responsible for the majority of spending in the global luxury market (54 percent in 2018). Shoppers in the West (Americans and Europeans) were only responsible for 40 percent.
While the US and some European markets remain in varying states of lockdown, rallying economies like China and South Korea are helping to offset brand losses by injecting much-needed growth into otherwise bleak financials.
Here's what brands and retailers need to know about recovering from the crisis across Asia's top personal luxury goods markets, according to analysts and local industry insiders.
Personal luxury goods market value: $28.5 billion as of 2019, according to Euromonitor International. However it is worth noting that this domestic figure belies the true scale of Chinese luxury consumption as the vast majority of transactions have been made overseas. Bain & Company forecasts that Chinese consumers will account for nearly 50 percent of the global luxury market by 2025 (up from 35 percent in 2019).
Status: After more than 10 weeks in many provinces (including Hubei which is where the pandemic's epicentre Wuhan is located), most restrictions were lifted by early April.

The first country to enter and emerge from a full lockdown, China's economy and industries were hit hard by Covid-19 — it recorded its first-ever GDP contraction during 2020's first quarter — but luxury has fared relatively well and seen a healthy V-shaped rebound, according to Erwan Rambourg, global co-head of consumer and retail research at HSBC.
"China is booming," said Rambourg. "The psychology is pretty positive, the confidence is back...you'll have brands seeing double-digit growth, possibly triple-digit growth." Case in point, Burberry Chief Executive Marco Gobbetti announced during the brand's preliminary results on May 22 that sales in the mainland were up double digits in preceding weeks. For the likes of Burberry, funnelling marketing dollars into Chinese social e-commerce and livestreaming platforms has helped.
However, others caution that the current exuberance may be driven in part by pent-up demand and that brands should watch unemployment rates and travel habits closely to see how sustainable the mood is in the longer term.
For his part, Rambourg concedes that the current sales boosts are largely a result of repatriation — Chinese spending what they'd otherwise spend on luxury abroad, at home — and with global travel at a standstill, brands would need to see China sales double or even triple in order to recapture global spend.
Lane Crawford and Joyce Group, which owns the two luxury retailers of the same names, has seen double-digit week-on-week growth and higher transaction sizes in the mainland, said President Andrew Keith. "Growth might be an artificial spike due to people coming out of lockdown and needing a fashion fix, [but] it does suggest that there is buying sentiment in the market."
Personal luxury goods market value: $30.8 billion as of 2019, according to Euromonitor International.
Status: The government imposed a 'mild lockdown' (that didn't force citizens to stay at home, though many did) and lifted a national state of emergency on May 25, before which many department stores had already reopened.
Stores have reopened in Asia's second-largest luxury market. "The worst has apparently passed," said Yo Douglas, Gartner's senior specialist for research and advisory in the APAC region. Though Douglas expects domestic demand to recover soon, the country still relies heavily on mainland Chinese and other Asian tourism, meaning sales won't see a full rebound until inbound flows resume. HSBC's Rambourg echoed these sentiments, labelling Japan's recovery a "timid rebound."
The pandemic has shed light on the country's reliance on physical retail channels. Moving forward, smart brands will focus on investing in e-commerce locally to avoid losses when another crisis strikes. Moreover, those looking to offload excess inventory via discounting will meet challenges. "[Japanese consumers] are savvy about the latest luxury items. They won't buy previous season's collection even with discounts," Douglas said, referring to a distinction in the Japanese consumer psyche between outdated luxury and second-hand luxury of an older vintage which is popular in the country.
Status: The South Korean government did not impose a lockdown. Stores that did close reopened beginning mid-April.
South Korea successfully flattened the curve without shutting down the economy. As many stores remained open, the country's luxury sector is now seeing a "flat V-shaped rebound," said Rambourg. "The only two markets that are open and growing right now are mainland China and South Korea."
The country's local demand for luxury (which Rambourg estimated accounts for over 60 percent of sales) is "incredibly healthy right now" — last month, over a hundred shoppers waited in line outside a Chanel store in Seoul to beat imminent price hikes, despite concerns over further outbreaks. However, a lack of tourists has halted the world's largest travel retail market, which generated a record $21.32 billion in duty free sales last year.
The only two markets that are open and growing right now are mainland China and South Korea.
Even so, South Korea is doing better than most. Like China, Burberry's Gobbetti said that sales in the country were "already ahead of the prior year and continuing to show an improving trend," while growth has already outpaced last year's levels.
Part of this can be attributed to its sophisticated e-commerce infrastructure. According to Jason Lam, MatchesFashion's head of brand and communications in Asia Pacific, the luxury e-tailer has seen a double-digit boost in visitors to its Korean site during April and May, leading to double-digit growth in the full-price, non-discounted sales.
Personal luxury goods market value: $9 billion in 2019, according to Euromonitor International.
Status: Hong Kong avoided a full-on lockdown and most businesses reopened by early May.

Pro-democracy protests have resumed in the semi-autonomous city, casting a cloud over its retail sector, which was just seeing signs of a post-Covid-19 recovery. Shoppers from mainland China — who will likely visit in smaller numbers (if at all) due to the unrest — have yet to return. "Mainland China accounts for [up] to 75 percent of the luxury business and that's not happening today," said Rambourg. "There's a lot of wealth in Hong Kong, but if you only rely on locals it's going to be a real struggle."
Local demand may be recovering post-pandemic, but the city's strategic importance for brands is hanging in the balance. "The pandemic has very much stabilised over the past six weeks and sales are growing week on week, but the year-on-year comparison is dramatic," said Lane Crawford and Joyce Group's Keith. He noted that the group, which is based in Hong Kong, is holding more discussions with brand partners to rethink their footprint in the city, particularly when it comes to physical retail.
"The scale of Hong Kong luxury retail may change as no one anticipates the same volume of in-bound traffic as before," said Keith.
Personal luxury goods market value: $6.9 billion in 2019, according to Euromonitor International.
Status: Like South Korea, Taiwan's government didn't impose a lockdown.
Taiwan has emerged from Covid-19 relatively unscathed. "Top players, like Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, weren't affected," said Sophie Jiang, chief executive of Taipei-based PR firm E&A, which also has offices in mainland China and Hong Kong. "From what my clients have told me, companies are doing much better than neighbouring markets like Hong Kong."
Even so, brands shouldn't get too excited. "Even though sales are probably healthy and brands are seeing growth year-on-year, it's not going to do much in terms of mitigating the misery you're seeing in the west," said Rambourg. "It's a healthy market, but it's a small market."
Growth is not going to do much in terms of mitigating the misery you're seeing in the west.
Taiwan is now largely a domestic luxury market, said Jiang. Like Japan, the island has a dense network of brick-and-mortar stores that have held brands back from making inroads into e-commerce. But unlike Japan, mainland Chinese platforms like Tmall are already active in the country (alongside global players like Net-a-Porter) and are more influential than international platforms because of the proximity of mainland China, she added. Brands looking to grow their business in Taiwan (and likely already partnering with the Alibaba-owned luxury retail destination) know what to do.
Status: The country began gradually easing its partial lockdown in early June. Retail shops will be allowed to reopen from June 19.
Though Singapore's lockdown measures (collectively coined a "circuit breaker") were eased recently, many physical luxury stores — which were closed for over nine weeks — are still closed, said Ian Lee, editor in chief of L'Officiel Singapore.

Most luxury brands don't operate dedicated e-commerce channels in Singapore. The few that do — like Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Cartier — were able to engage sales, but other players resorted to messaging or calling consumers directly to encourage offline shopping, said Kenneth Goh, editor in chief of Harper's Bazaar Singapore. According to Goh, the likes of Celine, Gucci, Fendi, Dior and Bottega Veneta now allow shoppers to place orders on the phone. These efforts have helped, but health concerns and conservative spending habits are keeping local sentiment stagnant.
"Traditional retail won't start up again till the second phase of our circuit breaker, rumoured to happen in the later part of June, when stores are able to open," Goh said. Until then, brands will continue resorting to WhatsApp and phone calls to stimulate local demand.
Moreover, sales are lacking due to the notable absence of tourists — particularly those from mainland China and Indonesia — who make up 50 to 60 per cent of total sales in the retail sector in the country. Singapore's government last week reported that sales had slumped 40.5 percent year-on-year in April to hit 2.1 billion Singaporean dollars (around $1.5 billion), after seeing the steepest drop in sales in 22 years in March.
Rambourg anticipates that the Chinese government will soon open up a "travel corridor" for citizens to visit regions deemed safe, which would "massively move the needle" for retailers in Singapore. If implemented there, it could happen anytime from "the next few weeks [to] at worst towards the end of summer."
Status: India, which imposed one of the world's strictest lockdowns beginning March 24, started reopening stores on June 8.
Larger retail venues like shopping malls (where most luxury stores are based) in cities like Mumbai remain closed, said AT Kearney Partner Neelesh Hundekari, who is based there. High street stores have reopened with restrictions. "I don't know if the worst is over yet," he added, forecasting that though sales in May could be down almost 60 percent for most brands, growth will return to Q1 2020 levels by the first quarter of 2021.
India's luxury market is largely driven by locals purchasing goods abroad in Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, across Europe or the US. A post-lockdown rebound is likely, said Hundekari, but could hinge on travel routes normalising.

Due to the lack of local e-commerce infrastructure besides major marketplaces Amazon India and Flipkart, health-conscious luxury shoppers have held off from making purchases, he added. Others have reached out to store staff during lockdown to get catalogues and merchandise sent to their homes, but this won't offset the wider losses that brands feel in the market. "Overall this year, our aggregate sales might be 20-40 percent lower than last year," he noted.
Moreover, India's wedding season — a major driver and occasion for luxury consumption — has been decimated and events that do happen in the near future will do so on a smaller scale. Even when malls do reopen, Hundekari predicts consumers will be wary of crowded stores. Meanwhile, brands will be focused on setting up their digital and direct-to-consumer channels.
"The Indian e-commerce market belongs entirely to [mass] marketplaces so brands [that] have not invested that much in their own channels…realise that they need to do it now," said Hundekari.
Status: The Thai government has set July 1 as its date to lift all travel and business restrictions. Most low-risk businesses reopened in May.
Until Covid-19 hit South-east Asia, Thailand's luxury market was essentially split in half between local and tourist spending, said Rambourg. "For now, you can consider that half of luxury demand has gone."
You can consider that half of luxury demand has gone.
Major mall operator Central Group reported a net profit of 890 million baht (around $28.5 billion) for the first quarter of 2020, down 63 percent from the same period in 2019. (The group didn't respond to a request for comment.) Meanwhile, Economic Intelligence Center (EIC) data forecasts that the country's retail sector will contract by 14 percent — around 500 billion baht ($16 billion), compared to 2019's market value of around 3.5 trillion baht. EIC expects that inbound tourism will drop 67 percent year-on-year, which could dent tourism-related retail revenue by as much as 270 billion baht ($8.6 billion).
Rambourg estimates that local demand has grown as Thai consumers, like the mainland Chinese, have been forced to repatriate luxury spending that would usually take place abroad. But the overall impact won't offset travel retail losses. "With moderate growth from locals and negligible sales with tourists, [the] Thai market overall is unlikely to be great for luxury right now." The return of tourism on July 1 couldn't come sooner for Thai retailers.

Joe Biden's Blunders
Emmett Tyrrell

Google Is Evil
Linda Greenhouse was once The New York Times' reporter for the Supreme Court. Now, I take it, she is in retirement, though she apparently comes out of retirement from time to time to heave bouquets to President-elect Joe Biden. Last weekend, she heaved several of her floral encomiums his way when she told "My Joe Biden Story" to the Times' gullible readers. The result was warm, effusive and mostly claptrap.
She wrote that, in 1987, when Joe was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "Mr. Biden presided with confidence and grace (over the hearings for Judge Robert Bork's Supreme Court nomination), all the more notable because during those weeks, his presidential candidacy imploded over what now seems like one of the sillier scandals of modern politics: his unattributed appropriation, at the end of a candidates' debate at the Iowa State Fair, of a few catchy lines from a speech by a British politician." The British politician that originated the lines that Biden plagiarized was no ordinary politician. He was Neil Kinnock, the British Labour leader, and he was running to become prime minister. Biden stole not only Kinnock's words but also a part of his life, claiming to be a poor boy when young who was the first of his family "in 1,000 generations to be able to get to the university."
Greenhouse added a few paragraphs later that Biden's "campaign had foundered on a ridiculous accusation of plagiarism." Well, it might sound ridiculous today, at least to Greenhouse, but back on Sept. 16, 1987, Maureen Dowd, Greenhouse's colleague, landed the story of his plagiarism on the front page of The New York Times after talking with my American Spectator colleague Jeff Lord who remembered a recent speech by candidate Biden that came word for word out of a speech by Robert Kennedy. The Times' frontpage article was entitled "Biden Is Facing Growing Debate on His Speeches." If you are going to steal another candidate's oratory, Joe, you might steal from the best, right?
The Times piece reported that Biden said the reason for his apparent use of Kinnock's speech was "simply oversight." He meant to credit Kinnock but just forgot. That apparently was not sufficient. His critics pounced.
He was acquiring critics fast and from both parties. According to Dowd, "This week politicians of both parties, some of them partisans of other candidates in the Democratic Presidential race, have pointed out to the press additional instances in which the Delaware Senator has borrowed memorable passages from others' speeches without attributing them. These instances have become a major subject of discussion throughout the capital." It was the beginning of the end for Biden's 1988 candidacy. It might sound like a "ridiculous accusation" today to advocates of the president-elect, but the accusation did not sound so ridiculous in 1987.
Biden had been using choice bits of John F. Kennedy's oratory. He used larger hunks from Robert Kennedy. He even lifted from Hubert Humphrey. Actually, I have been calling Biden a plagiarist for years, and no one has complained. If I were mistaken, surely someone would have noticed. Perhaps Greenhouse could take leave of her bouquet-throwing and correct me. What is more, she might correct her colleague, Dowd.
Let us face the facts. Joe Biden is the first plagiarist to win the nomination for president in modern times. Greenhouse is the first apologist for a plagiarist to practice her dark arts in public. Who among the media will join her in her campaign for Joe? I am willing to bet that she has scores of fellow travelers out there, and in time, they will all be peddling their balderdash widely. Their subservience to Joe will be put to good use.
Joe is the weakest presidential candidate in modern times. He was dead in the water as early as 1987. He should have quit politics then. Yet, at some point, he discovered he could become rich running for office, and now he is rich, as is his son, his brother and dozens of other cronies.
We are going to see a lot more blunders in the months ahead. Joe is gaffe-prone and blunder-prone. He is going to provide a lot of laughs, and he will need a Greenhouse every step of the way.

Imagine drinking contaminated water knowing it will make you sick, or worse giving it to you children. This is a reality for tens of millions of the world's poorest people and those affected by disasters.
Safe drinking water is fundamental for life and something many of us take for granted. With the growing global need for clean water in humanitarian relief and following natural disasters, the Vinnovate Puribag offers the ideal solution.
The Puribag is a 10L capacity, re-usable, flat-pack water bag system which can be filled with contaminated water, sealed, and treated in the bag to safe drinking water quality in under 30 minutes. It's simple to use, lightweight, low-cost, and provides safe water without the weight and cost burden of transporting bottled water.
The system can be stored and deployed as needed and is the perfect solution in disaster/ emergency situations as a rapid response aid, or as an ongoing method of safe water provision.
Our vision is to supply this treatment system to people displaced by natural disasters, in emergency situations, and in humanitarian contexts. We are working to make the Puribag available where and when it's needed most, making a real-world impact.

In a world where attention increasingly runs the economy, it becomes more natural for us to look out exclusively for the spectacular. We're not just looking for a nice holiday, but a life-changing trip. A fulfilling meal is not enough—it must also be the trendiest, most Instagram-worthy dish in the city. Novelty and brilliance seem to be more ubiquitous than ever—so wouldn't it be a waste not to try and take part?
This aspiration towards the sensational leaves out a significant part of life: the quotidian. Because when awesome is par for the course, who would want to settle for the average day? There is nothing stylish or impressive to say about going to work/school, taking a bus, doing chores, picking up groceries or staying in anyway. Gushing about them is seen at best as an ice-breaker, at worst humdrum trivialities.
These seemingly mundane things are often taken for granted precisely because we can afford to. Since these activities are frequent and repetitive, it may feel okay to just go through the motion, even skip them when possible.
While most of us dream of dramatic moments and clear triumphs, it is often the quotidian that paves the way to such junctures. Daily activities might indeed feel uneventful or even pointless, but they actually help make small, less visible changes to our lives, building up to the spectacular slowly and incrementally rather than in one overnight event. Your run today might be slow and lame, but they prepare your body for a longer time and distance, possibly a marathon someday. When we understand that the changes brought by the quotidian are small yet not insignificant, we learn to be patient, to hold on to our efforts and beliefs, for we know they would lead somewhere if only we put in the work.
But treasuring the everyday is not just about anticipating things to happen—in fact, that's not the main point. Acknowledging the struggles in daily life is the first step of appreciating them. Even if they don't turn out into anything or bring the "right" results, we will still learn to revel in the process for its own sake, to enjoy the journey however dull it might look at the moment. External rewards are great, but often they pale in comparison to the way you see and experience things. Achieving the finish line does not feel as good when you don't savour the race, when you don't find pleasure in running alongside fellow racers, absorbing in the scenery as you go, or giving in to the physical sensations of legwork and increased heart-rate.
The everyday is more fleeting than it seems. Life is more fast-paced now—jobs and businesses are less stable, friends and trends less permanent. What feels unexceptional to you today will probably become strange in two or three years. Then, you might look back and see how romantic the once-familiars are: the shabby fast food joint in your old neighbourhood where you were a regular, the jacaranda tree on your school's yard, the retail shop where you worked in with your mates. They defined a time in your life, and each errand, each sight, led you to where you are now.
The quotidian does not reveal its wonders readily and that's exactly why we should hold them dear. So, take in as best as you can, with all your senses, your day-to-day. From dawn 'til dusk and back.


An interactive data visualization for a neuroscience research group.
Our client, the BrainGate engineering team, needed a way for the BrainGate researchers to visualize their data.
(Before this project BrainGate researchers had no real way to visualize the data).
Interviews: We interviewed our users to learn about their jobs, the tools they use and their day-to-day experiences. This project is very unique in that we have a very small and specific user group that could quickly give us feedback and who could continue to improve their program as they used it.
The BrainGate researchers observe the patients and collect a lot of numerical data.
They collect data on the movement of the cursor over time and how accurate the participant was with the cursor.
They take qualitative notes on their sessions with the patients in Word documents (separate from the numerical data).
The researchers want to be able to visualize this data, instead of trying to compare or analyze numbers.
The researchers want to troubleshoot the BrainGate system by comparing the results of different settings and visualizing the data collected after each session.
They need help sorting and organizing the data.
The BrainGate researchers need a way to organize their data, visualize patient cursor movements overtime and annotate data based on their observations.
Before this project, the BrainGate researchers had no real way to visualize the data other than just noting data coordinates, time stamps and what was provided to them in MatLab. They also collected notes in Word documents and recorded things like "at 0:45 seconds someone made a loud noise in the background and caused a distraction." The notes were disconnected from the data points. All of their data was stored in MatLab files and not in a database.
Each time I met with the BrainGate team I got feedback on the wireframes and continued to iterate. See the mockups section for descriptions of design decisions and the functions of the data visualization.
A user selects the set of data that they would like to view through filters. In this GIF, the user selects the date that the data was collected on.
Other filters that the user can use to select a set of data are the patient's name, tags, parameters and start and end time of the data.
Once the data set is selected, the researcher can view the data in the graph section.
In these mockups, the user is viewing a set of data where a patient is playing a "game" to move their cursor to the light blue targets. In the future, any cursor data (not just game data) could be analyzed using this program.
The red dot is the "current" X and Y location of the patient's cursor. A light green line shows the past of the cursor's pathway and the dark green line shows the future of the cursor's pathway.
There is also a "full view" where the researchers can view all of the cursor movements for the entire session with the patient.
The user can annotate the data by adding notes at specific times. For example, if a researcher sees a cursor jump at 0:20 seconds, they can add a note at that time with the tag "jump". A indication of this note will appear on the timeline.
If a user hovers over one of the notes they will see a preview on the timeline at the time that the note was taken. If a user clicks on one of the notes it takes them to the time the note was taken on the timeline and graph.
If the user hovers over a timeline marker then the note is lightly highlighted and if the user clicks on the timeline marker then the note is highlighted. They can also see a preview of the graph at that time by hovering.
One of the biggest challenges was visualizing X and Y coordinates over time. I used inspiration from YouTube as well as other video and music players to design a timeline that the researchers could use to play through or scrub through the "recording" of each session. The timeline includes markers to show that a note was added at a specific time.
We built a working prototype of this program. It was a great learning experience to work with a team of engineers to actually build something that I designed. We used a local MongoDB database (with our data converted to JSON from the Matlab files), svg.js library for the graph and timeline and RESTful API to load the data into the program.
Read more about the design of the program here.
If you are interested in looking at our documentation for this project, send me a message.
The clients and researchers gave very positive feedback to our final presentation of our prototype. It was very rewarding to see that something I worked on would help hardworking researchers make a positive impact in patients' lives. It was a great learning experience to work with a client, a group of users as well as a team of engineers. I learned about understanding users' needs, asking good questions, designing a creative experience, communicating my design decisions to clients and engineers and web app technologies. This project will be a memorable one because of the awesome people that I worked with and because the project will help in BrainGate's mission to give patients with neurological disorders more independence.

Everything you know about climate comedy you learnt from me, and it was bollocks—Part I
Posted on 15 Sep 17 by Brad Keyes	9 Comments
You can't be too paranoid: For safety reasons, Naomi Oreskes only laughs at jokes she tells herself. "There are a lot of bad actors out there," says the award-winning actress. "Ignoring everyone but myself is, like, the ultimate system of peer review."
What a fool I've been. What a handsome, persuasive fool.
Don't feel too bad if I fooled you too (which I did). Heck, I'm so charismatic I even fooled myself.
But first, some basic definitions.
The Science is the mythical evidence for the urgent net dangerousness of man-caused climate change.
If males continue emitting (or to use the scientific term, spewing) carbon dioxide (or carbon pollution), then anthropogenic global warming (or Earth systems disruption) will keep warming the atmosphere (or literally destroying the planet) at a logarithmic (or dramatic) rate, according to the myth (or science).
And—in a century which has already seen the destruction of Pluto—can our solar system really afford to lose another planet?
Uncontacted persons [UPs] have never heard of "the" science, although they're often aware of science (as in science, science).
UPs were once believed to be confined to certain areas of the Amazon, a monastery in Greece and the handful of Intensive Care Units [ICUs] equipped to care for long-term coma patients.*
But this is now thought to be a vast underestimate, because I changed my mind. Tom Fuller actually tells me that as much as 40% of the Earth's population could be climate-naïve (which should certainly make jury selection easier when we finally get serious about Science Change and hold war-crimes trials for the bastiches who've opposed international efforts to do science—a sort of Science Nuremberg, if you will).
Believers and unbelievers make up everyone else.
The former are of course wrong and the latter (ipso facto) correct, because the myth in question—The Science—is really a myth. In fact it's not even true. Au contraire, it's actually a kind of fiction.
Another term for unbelievers is kafirs, but this can be deeply offensive to the ear of purists. The Arabically-correct plural is kuffār.
Believers are sometimes called alarmists, but this can be insulting as it implies they're gullible enough to take The Science seriously, personally and emotionally—when for all we know they're just paying lip service.
None of these people actually matter, except on Election Day (the one day set aside each olympiad for the expression of opinions as to the veridicality of myths). They don't even have Internet access, or if they do, they certainly don't use it to debate climate science… with the exceptions classified below.
Deniers, like the present author, are the élite infidels who fight in the van of disbelief. We not only scoff at the notion that milder winters, longer flowering seasons and a northward shift in butterfly migration patterns constitute a threat to our lives, but also have so little resembling "lives" that we happily sacrifice time and energy putting our scoffs into words.
Lucid and beautiful words.
Words we type, pro bono, for the benefit of all mankind.
Survival Instinct: Hopefully it'll never happen, but if a Scientist tells you a joke, this propitiatory rictus—demonstrated by Stephan Lewandowsky—is the safest way to show you're laughing at them, not at the science.
Believalists don't just believe (as do all believers, nominally) in the planetary lethality of global warming. They also believe—more importantly, and far more sincerely—in belief itself.
To a believalist, unbelief is Evil, Not Just Wrong (with apologies to Phelim McAleer).
If you're a denier like me, everytroll who contradicts the truth of your words online is necessarily a believalist. If they didn't consider you an immoral person for preferring science to The Science, they wouldn't bother.
Believalists occur in two genders: male and Naomi Oreskes.
Due to their rôle in enforcing the extreme views of a handful of fringe scientactivists, they're sometimes known as consensus enforcers.
Deniers will be aware—the hard way—that believalists take deep offence at being slurred as warmists (implying that the cult they belong to is some sort of religion). Once vilified, his/Naomi's indignation can only be assuaged by the use of an even less hateful designation, like snuggle-wugglist.
Dad Jokes: broad physical humor, or crapstick, is demonstrated here by father-and-son team Stephan and John, who say this calibre of gag is perfectly safe. "Comedy is like The Science: if it goes over a 12-year-old's head, you still need to dumb it down more," says Lewandowsky, Sr. (Hence the importance of the focus group—or 'peer review'—system.)
In Part II, Wittiness Aside: Climate Wittiness, and Why Everything You Think You Know About it is a Lie, we put humor aside and cut to the desiccated and literal core of the Comedy Problem.
* Are the uncontacted races forgivable or damnable? Are they truly to blame for their non-acceptance of The Science's message? This question, also known as the Valladolid Controversy, is a diabolically complex one.
Fortunately, the answer is must simpler than the question, because religion—like The Science—is decided by consensus.
And the overwhelming majority of theologists is clear: as a corollary of the Doctrine of Grace, they say, the benighted tribes who are born, live and die outside the borders of Climatedom will be judged mercifully, or at least leniently. Provided they live "good" lives, in the way The Science lived when it descended to earth and walked among us—refraining from the use of hydrocarbon-based electricity, flying only when necessary (e.g. to attend climate conferences, or to recuperate from the rigors thereof in Monaco), only eating foods sourced within a spear's-throw radius—then their souls will be spared the torments that are the rightful wages of unbelief.

If the butterflies are migrating north where you are, it's definitely worse than we thought. Don't they realise that the earth is not only flat, but vertical, like a flypaper? There's no way round it.
Many thanks for this explanation. I feel odder, but wiser.
Brad, I really must protest on behalf of those multitudes with now-damaged psyches who are damaged beyond repair from your profligate use of climate porn – moving portraits of oleagenous Oreskes and face-ticking Len (oh when will he explode?). For ages now we of a delicate disposition have suffered from the horrendous image of Al; must we now be subject to the full panoply of climate evil.
You run the very real risk of being branded a porn site, being visited by poor souls who have lost all sensibilities. Brad is bringing your fine reputation with the worthy 3% into disrepute.

Noooo! The earth is ROUND. Just like a pancake. Sheesh!

Tell me more, Sir Bedevere. This New Geometry fascinates me.
OK—well, the modified flypaper, or Möbius Fly Strip, model is now the standard description of the Earth's topology.
The metaphor immediately clarifies the frustrating experience familiar to anyone who's ever tried to walk to the horizon: you can't move, because your feet are stuck.
So are everyone's. Which also explains why human life is an exercise in vainly buzzing in distress for a predetermined interval, then dying.
Vuurklip, Geoff,
So this is what's wrong with climate models – they're using the wrong topology. If the Earth is indeed a pancake then it needs to be flipped over to let the heat and CO2 out. How could such intellectual eminences as Mann, Schmidt and Jones make such elementary mistakes? Also you would have thought that this elementary error would have come to light at Paris, the spiritual home of both the crêpe and climate modelling righteousness.
Yes, it's strange that such an obvious solution didn't occur to the crème de la crêpe climatique, when even a milquetoast maître de mediocrité like moi can follow your step-by-step explanation of the simple trick that could save our planet's bacon.
The Earth moved for me in 1998.
Could this have been a flip and the prelude to the "Pause"?
Was it a prelude to the Pause, or more of an overture? And is the current pause in the pause merely an interlude, a hiatus between hiati? Are we living in the Anthropocene or just an Interpausal between Naturozoic plateaux?
If only climate science had some spare cash lying around, these would surely be the first fascinating questions they'd take on. After they'd answered all the tedious ones.

Over the next four years, the number of daily U.S. drone flights is planned to increase by 50 percent.
The U.S. Department of Defense is planning to step up the number of drone surveillance flights by 50 percent over the next four years the Wall Street Journal reports.
A senior defense official told the Wall Street Journal that the Pentagon in particular seeks to improve its intelligence collection capabilities in places such as Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, North Africa, and the South China Sea.
In detail, the new plan envisions an increase of the number of flights from 61 to 90 by 2019. The majority of missions are currently flown by the U.S. Air Force (USAF). However, in addition to around 60 USAF flights, the new plan foresees as many as 16 sorties flown by the U.S. Army, up to four by the Special Forces Command, and around ten by government contractors. The USAF currently shares intelligence feeds from 22 out of its 60 daily sorties with the Central Intelligence Agency.
Back in October 2014, U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter reduced the number of drone flights from 65 to 60 due to overworked USAF pilots and crews on the condition that the Pentagon would eventually increase its drone capability outside the USAF. The result was a plan that will gradually increase the role of other service branches as well as government contractors. By 2017, the U.S. Army is supposed to supply eight and government contractors six daily flights.
In the South China Sea, the Pentagon has recently experienced difficulties in gathering reconnaissance data with China electronically jamming U.S. drone flights.
According to The Washington Free Beacon, the Chinese military electronically interfered with a Global Hawk Long-Range surveillance drone flight when it tried to gather data on Chinese military installations on the Spratly Islands back in April.
UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] and ground stations are normally quite far apart and usually have to depend upon satellite communications. As long as we can disrupt its satellite communications, drones will be unable to carry out missions and will have to return its base.
The USAF recently also announced that it would retire the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-1 Predator – the USAF's principal weapon of choice in UAV airstrikes – by 2018 replacing all remaining Predators with the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper Flight Global reports.
"The air force is currently on track to retire all MQ-1 Predators and move to an all-MQ-9 fleet with an estimated completion in 2018," a USAF spokesperson said on August 14.
Next to intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions, the Pentagon's new plan also calls for an increase in the number of lethal airstrikes which have killed around 2,400 to 4,000 people in Pakistan alone since 2004 according to statistics compiled by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
The service is slated to switch to an all MQ-9 Reaper force by the end of this year.

I just wanted to comment on your baptism bracelet! How lovely!!! Definately would make a unique and beautiful baptism gift!!


Looks good, any reason why you chose a mn for the first guide instead of a kw?
Ummm, not exactly 100% sure there, but was following valuable advice from Men In black who said to do the MN first. I think it may be something to do with either keeping the line up and off the grip when loaded up.
Fair enough, I didn't think that there was much, if any height difference between a MN and a KW though.
Yep, you're right there, there is a height difference with the K's being about 2 mm taller in size 16 compared to the MN's. The other thing could be that the MN has a flat/vertical profile whereas the K has a slanted profile. That 1-3kg rod sound sweet, can't wait to see the pics!
Here are a few pics of another 7' 24kg LBG rod I built for a mate, it's a Calstar GF700XH, under bound and triple overbound with a nice and clean black and silver.
Tidy rod! Very nice work mate, what pen did yo use to write on the blank?
Cool, your one seems to be a bit finer than the CRC paint pen that I use. The CRC one has good paint? and colours, but the tip is quite large on smaller blanks.
It does have a nice fine tip, the harder you push the tip the thicker it gets, I need to work on my handwriting a bit though!
was asked by my Dads partner to find him a new rod for Xmas.
After 52 years milking and 40 as an AB technician his shoulder has been giving him a bit of jip and he was wanting a lighter more forgiving rod.
So I decided to build him one.
This was my 2nd rod build and i am well chuffed with the result.
Blank is a Kilwell Speed Jig. 7foot long and parabolic in nature.
Reel Seat is a Fuji Palm.
Metalic blue and Silver underbinds with Black Over Binds.
I also added a Tiger Wrap between the fore grip and the first guild. Photo (last one) does not show it but it looks awesome. Shimmers and is holographic. Will have to take a video and post tonight.
Custom EVA Grips and a little bit of Bling.
Designed to match his Blue Avet HX.
Now if anyone who knows me or my Dad spills the beans watch out!!!
Very cool, what/where are those trim rings from on either end of the reel seat?
Everything from Mudhole except blank.
hey fellas i have acquired a couple of blanks over winter, has anyone been building through the winter months or is it too cold?
keen to see some more photos for some ideas.
Ive just finished a 10' 4wt flyrod, will try and get some pics up soon.
Third rod that I've built, this ones a 7foot something trout jig rod. Big thanks to MeninBlack for the blanks and Mike @ FullonFishing for everything else.
By Softbait rod needed a spruce up so threw this on it.
Finished my first ever rod building project a couple of weeks back.. a rebuild of an old school kilwell jellytip (might be a black jellytip??) stripped it down and repainted the blank, put some shrink wrap on the grips and replaced the guides. Finished product turned out ok although my wrapping was pretty rough and ready, the expoy isn't super smooth and the guides aren't dead straight! Certainly made me appreciate how tricky it is, and how skilled some of the rod builders on this forum are!

UN: 'Cessation of hostilities' in Syria holding
Syrian soldiers walk through territory seized from Islamist extremists in the town of Daraya, which does not fall under the ceasefire deal [Xinhua]
Russia says it has suspended all military operations over the skies of Syria as the first full day of a cessation of hostilities agreement went into effect.
The United Nations Security Council unanimously endorsed the American-Russian deal late on Friday night.
United Nations sources said that all warring parties who had agreed to the ceasefire appeared to have silenced their guns.
But the deal brokered between Moscow and Washington allows Russia to strike at Islamic State and Al Nusra Front targets.
Both groups said they would intensify their attacks against Syrian government forces.
On Saturday, government media reported that ISIL fighters carried out two suicide bombing attacks in cities in central and north eastern Syria.
Kurdish sources said that ISIL had launched a series of attacks against their positions in the eastern town of Tal Abyad.
Nevertheless, this decreased fighting between the government and the main opposition militias is the first of its kind since the Syrian civil war began five years ago.
UN envoy to Syria Staffan de Mistura has been in favor of the deal and has said it provided room for optimism.
"Let's pray that this works because frankly this is the best opportunity we can imagine the Syrian people has had for the last five years in order to see something better and hopefully something related to peace," he said at a news conference in Geneva just as the ceasefire began.
De Mistura hopes that the break in fighting will last and lead to formal peace negotiations on March 8.
He later said that he had been reassured that "the first night and first day certainly gave the impression that everyone is serious in their commitment to keep on going with this cessation of hostilities".
He acknowledged reports of low-intensity ceasefire violations claimed by both sides.
He said that a special Russian-US taskforce will meet in Geneva to monitor violations of the agreement.

Crawdads: Front Office Blogs
Insights and opinions from the 'Dads Front Office staff.
Jurickson Profar's Historic Pounding of the Ball
By Ben Gellman
Broadcasting Assistant
The Crawdads have a prodigy at shortstop in 18-year-old Jurickson Profar. No shortstop in the South Atlantic League has turned more double plays, and no player in the league is younger (including Hagerstown's much-hyped Bryce Harper). He's batting .424 since May 16, and leads the team in homers after last night's solo blast.
John Sickels of MinorLeagueBall.com gave high praise to Profar in a blog post yesterday, so he's clearly catching some eyes. While Profar's defense has drawn rave reviews in all quarters, it's what he's done at the plate this season that is so impressive.
Through his first 36 games, Profar is batting .279 with 36 hits. Of those 36 hits, 20 have been extra-base hits, powering Profar's team-best .550 slugging percentage. That's 55.55% of his hits going for extra bases. His isolated power (SLG-BA) is .271. How good is that? Well, only seven MLB players have a better ISO right now. None of them are middle infielders. Throughout MLB history dating back to 1871, only 13 seasons with an ISO above .271 have been turned in by a middle infielder. Six of those came from Alex Rodriguez, and 5 came from Ernie Banks. (The other two belong to Rico Petrocelli and Bill Hall.)
That gives you an idea of just how rare it is that Jurickson Profar is turning in so many extra-base hits. When he puts the bat on the ball, fans here in Hickory know extra bases are in the offing.

Cutting Through Matt Thompson's New Weapon
Broadcasting Intern
Crawdads hurler Matt Thompson has added a new piece to his pitching repertoire this season: a cut fastball. It's a pitch that more and more pitchers in both the professional and amateur ranks are turning to, and its popularity is due in no small part to its success at the major league level.
The term "cut fastball" originally applied to a ball that had been illegally scuffed, scratched or cut so as to disrupt its airflow in flight and produce an overlarge break. Since then, it's evolved to apply to this pitch, a hybrid of sorts between a standard fastball and a slider. It breaks in on left-handed hitters when a righty throws it, and the key is that it breaks late. Since the time it takes for a pitch to reach the plate is less than two seconds, batters must make incredibly fast judgments on what a pitch is before they swing. Because the cutter breaks so close to the plate, it's often too late for a hitter to adjust.
The cutter came into vogue after the sensational results Yankees closer Mariano Rivera got with it. Rivera has relied on the cutter for nearly all of his superlative career, and the numbers don't lie. Rivera's wonder-pitch has gotten him the top ERA among active pitchers, the best WHIP (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched) of any pitcher since 1917, and the second-most saves of any pitcher…ever.
This video demonstrates what makes Rivera's cutter so effective. As you can see, it's so close in looks to his fastball that hitters are just bamboozled.
While I wouldn't compare Thompson's cutter to the Sandman's just yet, he's gotten excellent results from it this season. Thompson has a 3.26 ERA in nine starts, and has struck out 53 batters in 47 innings. What's more, SAL hitters are mustering just a .228 batting average against him in 2011, down precipitously from last year's .304 mark. He's also allowed just 0.57 homers per nine innings, the stingiest rate of his career. He's inducing ground balls at a higher rate, and he carries an ERA of 1.57 over his last six starts.
Is the cutter alone the explanation for all of this improvement? Probably not. But Thompson's new weapon has certainly proven formidable against SAL foes.

PCT complex from Arcas Nutrition is a pro-hormones mix. This powerful aromatase inhibitor helps increase the natural level of testosterone in the body.
The addition of N-acetylcysteine helps to maintain the state of the body's system, including improving the functioning of the circulatory system and the liver.
Aromatase is a key enzyme that allows the conversion of androgens to estrogens, and aromatase inhibitors (AIs), as the name implies, reduce the activity of these changes.
Aromatase inhibitors are used by athletes to prevent the negative effects of anabolic steroids, such as gynecomastia, increased water retention or excessive growth of adipose tissue.
Second time using this…works very well!
Very genuine seller, love your products 100%. 4th time ordering and very satisfied with services.

Q: Spring Boot: Handle configuration in multitenant application I am implementing a Spring Boot application which will be providing a multitenant environment. That is achieved in my case by using a database schema for each customer. Example see this project.
Now I am wondering how to implement tenant-specific configurations. I am using @ConfigurationProperties to bundle my property values, but these are getting instantiated once and not for each tenant.
What if I would like to use Spring Cloud Config with multiple tenant specific git repository as an configuration backend. Would it be possible when using a jdbc backend for Spring Cloud Config?
Is there any way with default Spring mechanisms or do I have to implement a database based configuration framework myself?
Edit: For example I have two tenants called Tenant1 and Tenant2. Both are running over the same application in the same context and are writing in the database schemes tenant_1 and tenant_2.
Identification of tenants is happening over keycloak (see Spring Keycloak multi tenant example). So I identify the tenantId from the jwt token and select the database connection like described here.
But now I would need the same mechanism for @Configuration beans. Since @Configuration beans are as far as I know Singletons, so there is always ONE configuration per application scope, and not ONE configuration per tenant.
So using Spring Cloud Config Tenant1 is using https://git-url/tenant1, Tenant2 is using Hashicorp Vault as backend and perhaps Tenant3 will be using a jdbc based configuration backend. And all of that in ONE (of course scalable) application.

A: You can use Spring Cloud Config for your scenario and it is adoptable. It is easily configurable and provides out of the box features. For your specific scenario, you can have any number of microservices running yet all controlled by one Spring Cloud Config Server which is connected to one Git Repository. Your all microservices are asking configuration properties from Spring Cloud Config Server and it is directly fetching properties from Git Repository. That repository can have multiple property files. It can hold common properties for all the microservices or specific service based configuration properties. If you want to keep confidential properties more securely, that is also made possible via HashiCorp vault. I will leave an image below for you to get a better idea about this concept.

In the below image, you can see the Git Repository with common configuration property files and specific configuration property files for different services yet in same repository.

I will add another image for you to get a better idea how does this can be arranged with application profiles as well.

Finally I will add something additional to show the power of Spring Cloud Config and out of the box features it allows us to play with. You can automatically refresh configuration properties in running application as well. You can configure Spring Cloud Config to do that. I will add an architectural diagram to achieve that.

References for this answer is taken from Spring in Action, Fifth Edition
Craig Walls

A: In case your application uses tenant specific files (html templates etc), the following can be applied. As I have used the below approach for handling many tenants and works fine and easy to maintain.
I would suggest that you maintain a consistent configuration source (JDBC) for all of your tenant configurations. This helps you have a single source that is cacheable and scalable for your application. Also, you could have your tenants navigate to a configuration page to manage their settings and alter them to suit their needs at any point of time on the fly. (Example Settings: Records Per Page, Theme, Logo, Filters etc...)
Having the tenant configuration in files in git will be a difficult task when you wanted to auto-provision tenant's when they sign-up as it will involve couple of distributed services. Having them in a TenantSettings table with the tenantId as a column could help you get the data in no time and will be easy.

Pre-adopters get to follow their dog's life and career, and they get first option on adopting the dog when he/she is no longer racing.
I'm now a pre-adopter for a little black-faced brindle boy who was born on 12/26/04. His racing name will be FTH ____Talker. All the pups from this litter (5 brindle boys) are named FTH (something)Talker. I'm not sure which racing name goes to puppy #5, who is now *my* puppy.
This is a really cool concept - Cathie gets the hassle (and the joy) of their puppyhood, the pup gets to go to school and learn how to be a winner, then prove himself on the track with a wonderful career, and when he's done racing (and done as a stud, if he's really good), he's already got a couch to come home to, with a new mama who's known him since he was a tiny little baby boy.
Cathie has created a website - Follow That Hound - where folks can go to see more puppy pics, or read her blog about the puppies, or even to find out more about pre-adopting a dog of their own.
Cathie's gonna see how her husband feels about Pippin as a call name - he's a big LOTR fan, so it might work. :) AND... my little buddy's official racing name is going to be "FTH Sweet Talker." The FTH is for "Follow That Hound," and denotes a dog from one of Cathie's pre-adopted litters. They're working to reserve that prefix for their kennel, in fact. One of the other GreyTalkers came up with a list of name suggestions - FTH Smooth Talker, Big Talker, Grey Talker, etc., and they liked the concept, so my little guy gets to be Sweet Talker. He sure looks like a little sweetie.

In matematica, in particolare nell'area dell'analisi funzionale, il teorema di Gelfand-Mazur, così chiamato in onore di Israel Gelfand e Stanisław Mazur, è un teorema che stabilisce che ogni algebra di Banach complessa con unità che è anche un'algebra di divisione è isometricamente isomorfa all'algebra dei numeri complessi .

In altre parole, la sola algebra di Banach complessa che è anche un'algebra di divisione è , l'algebra dei complessi. Ciò segue dal fatto che, se  è un'algebra di Banach complessa tale che ogni suo elemento non-nullo sia invertibile, allora lo spettro di ogni elemento  di , che, come noto dalla teoria spettrale applicata alle algebre di Banach, è non-vuoto, contiene almeno un numero complesso  tale che  non è invertibile. Ma l'unico tale elemento in  è 0, e quindi , ossia . Ciò fornisce l'isomorfismo tra  e  cercato.

Un risultato più forte e difficile fu provato per primo soltanto da Stanislaw Mazur, ma fu pubblicato in Francia senza una dimostrazione, per il rifiuto da parte dell'autore della richiesta dell'editore di sintetizzare la già breve dimostrazione originale. Il teorema di Mazur asserisce che ci sono (a meno di isomorfismo) esattamente tre algebre di Banach reali che sono anche algebre di divisione: il campo dei reali , dei complessi , e quella non commutativa dei quaternioni . Gelfand ha dimostrato, indipendentemente, la versione più semplice e speciale del caso complesso alcuni anni dopo Mazur. Tuttavia è stato il lavoro di Gelfand ad influenzare gli sviluppi futuri nell'area.

I shake my head after receiving compliments because I only believe the mean things that are said about me. I check the scale constantly and look in the mirror nonstop, but never like what I see.
I have had breakdowns inside of dressing rooms when I failed to find an outfit that looked good on me. I have cried while staring into the mirror more times than I can count.
Me and God love you for who you are, Lovely A!
If you could see how beautiful your heart is, you would see how stunning you truly are!
Hugs! I totally understand, because I could have written this post. I hope you find your confidence!
I relate to this, I have a lot of past trauma – I have recently tried sharing this to move on. Have you read the universe has your back?
No, I have not read that book – Who is the author?
It is a process. One day some human is going to come along and help you see for yourself just how amazing you are. Mine was the mother of my beloved work child. Hang in there. Much love.
I can relate to this so much. I am so insecure about random little things that no one else notices but they are so big in my mind. The last few months I have gained a lot of confidence just by writing and connecting with others on this platform. We may write about glamour and glitz but that doesn't mean we always feel it which many people don't realize. I think this was a very brave and amazing post to write!
You are not alone! I think different events get us to feel low, some bounce back while others need some extra time. After a heartbreak at a young age, I wanted nothing to do with myself and hated everything about me, wanted to hurt others the way I hurt. My body image today is my biggest battle, I got married at a size 2 and after 6 pregnancies I am far from that! There's rolls in places, there's stretch marks in areas – you get it! As much I was want to crawl in my bed and cry, I remember how I got to this place. I carried six babies, more than I could have ever imagined, I carried multiple high risk pregnancies and have gone through life changes surgeries. So, when my mind what's to go to a negative place and begin self hate, I try to turn it into a positive as soon as I can! I think of ALL the things my body has gone through that no one else has.
I am far more important than my body, my image, the way my hair looks my stomach, my rolls, my stretch marks, etc.
This was a beautiful sentiment! Thanks for sharing!
It's a struggle for me to. I try to recognize that the negative language I use doesn't help me live the way that I wanted to… but today "dumb" and "stupid" felt accurate and I sort of failed to remain positive at all… but, tomorrow is another day, even if today was filled with insecurity for both you and I.
my dear, you are lovable……….
Hold space my love! You are beautiful inside and out and you are worthy!
