Q: Watson Data API - Creating a project fails Utilizing the Watson Studio GUI, I have no problems creating a Studio project and integrating it with a git repo. I need to script this process. When using the Watson Data API (2.23.1), I can indeed create a project using the .../transactional/v2/projects REST call, but that call doesn't appear to have any git related info in its payload.
After creating the project (not yet integrated with git), I then try issuing this REST call:
.../v2/asset_files/git_transactions/remote passing the newly created project.
Its payload contains git info, so I assume it's the one to use to integrate the project with GIT:
{"repo_url": "https://github.ibm.com/orgn/xxxx.git","access_token":{"git_host":"GitHub Enterprise","token_value":"xxxxxxxxxxxxx" }}

But this call always fails with:

{"code":400,"error":"Bad Request","reason":"Invalid request body, access_token format is not valid","message":"The server cannot or will not process the request due to an apparent client error (e.g. malformed request syntax)."}

The message mentions the access_token format being invalid, but I'm following the api documentation wrt format.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

A: Have you seen the Swagger doc for Watson Studio projects at: https://api.dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/v2/projects/docs/swagger/#/
If so, you will see that you can include the GH integration in your project creation step.
You can use the GetProject API to grab the JSON from your working project with the GH integration already working to confirm the schema required.

A: Apologies, you are correct that the /transactional/v2/projects api endpoint does not support including GitHub integration whereas the /v2/projects api endpoint does but it is not the recommended one to use programmatically.
That said, there is a update API which will allow you to add your GitHub integration to your newly created project which you created via the transactional/v2/projects api assuming that you have already added your GitHub access token to your Watson Studio Setting as per Enable access to GitHub from your account
You can simply pass the body:
{
"github": {
        "repository": "https://github.ibm.com/orgn/xxxx.git"
         }
}

And your project will be updated accordingly.

A: I've tried to update project which created via the transaction/v2/projects api and already added GitHub access token.
After that I can see that it is applied it (/v2/projects/{projects id}), but it is not applied Integrations section in Projects setting page.
I think it is not being update to backend pod.

"I was picked out to be picked on in the name of Jesus." » « Osprey.
Miss Hokusai.
Last year we wrote an article about Oei Katsushika, the daughter of the famed Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. What we didn't know at the time was that a Japanese film on that exact subject was just getting ready to be released. Directed by Keiichi Hara (Colorful) and Production I.G (creators of Ghost in the Shell), "Miss Hokusai" is coming to theaters in the U.S. this fall and the trailer was just released.
As we wrote last year, only about 10 actual works have been attributed to Oei, but considering Katsushika Hokusai created some of his most famous and brilliant works towards the end of his life it seems reasonable to wonder just how much of the work was created by Oei. And the film appears to tree in similar waters:
As all of Edo flocks to see the work of the revered painter Hokusai, his daughter O-Ei toils diligently inside his studio. Her masterful portraits, dragons and erotic sketches – sold under the name of her father – are coveted by upper crust Lords and journeyman print makers alike. Shy and reserved in public, in the studio O-Ei is as brash and uninhibited as her father, smoking a pipe while sketching drawings that would make contemporary Japanese ladies blush. But despite this fiercely independent spirit, O-Ei struggles under the domineering influence of her father and is ridiculed for lacking the life experience that she is attempting to portray in her art. Miss Hokusai's bustling Edo (present day Tokyo) is filled with yokai spirits, dragons, and conniving tradesmen, while O-Ei's relationships with her demanding father and blind younger sister provide a powerful emotional underpinning to this sumptuously-animated coming-of-age tale.
Looking forward to this very much! Via Spoon & Tamago.
Art, Culture, Movies, People
This looks wonderful. Story, art, animation, feminism, everything.
I agree. Almost everyone on the planet is familiar with the Great Wave, even if they aren't familiar with the artist. Now I really wonder how much was Oei's work that was never credited.
"With two brushes and four chopsticks, we can get by anywhere." That's both wonderful and sad. I don't know which one more.
Am I right that O-Ei is a three-syllable name as Japanese doesn't have diphtongs?
I'd pronounce it O ay. I don't remember much Japanese, but ei is pronounced ay, as in say, like George Takei, and ai is pronounced as a long I, as in ice.
I think that's right. It's been a long time since I've summoned up any conversational Japanese, so I could be completely wrong.
Crimson Clupeidae says
Caine is correct (I lived in Okinawa for three years, and although I've forgotten most of it, I still remember some!)
Technically, the e is prounounced like eh, and i is a ee sound. If you say the two syllables together, they sound like ay, although with a really good ear (something most of us westerners who aren't used to the type of tonal context of Japanese don't have), you can actually hear a native speaker pronouncing it as eh-ee or ah-ee (english alphabet sucks for trying to hint at the subtleties), but when I spoke it, I was lazy and and would just say it like a long i. :) Same thing with the rl sound that so many westerners make fun of as a Japanese 'lisp' or whatever. It's actually a very subtle, and somewhat difficult to make sound where you roll the r sound into the l sound.
Although the Japanese language doesn't have any glottal stops (like many Pacific Island languages), the difference between a single O and a double OO, for instance, is there, but most westerners wouldn't be able to pick it up. To most of us, it would just sound like a long O.
oops, too late
re: Caine #4
Although I'd agree that the pronunciation should be closer to three syllables
oh eh ee
but glided sorta together without becoming a True Dipthong.
Wikipedia spells her name Ōi (おうい) and offers
There are multiple theories as to the origin of her name, including Ei (her given name), Ei-jo("jo" meaning "woman" or "daughter" in Japanese), O-i ("loyal to itsu"), and O-Ei(お栄?, honorary 'O' as a prefix for womens' names in 19th century Japan).
栄 can also be pronounced sakae.
The kanji in the title, between Miss and Hokusai is
百日紅
さるすべり
sa ru su be ri
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagerstroemia
for no reason that I have been able to find.
Crimson Clupeidae
Okinawans talk funny.
So saith many of my Tokyo-dwelling informants.
Usually with a little (condescending) chuckle.
I smile and nod because I cannot hear any difference.
Upon listening to the trailer second time, the name Oei was said (around 1:40), three syllables, but the e-i less separate, as chigau said. The first time I didn't pick that up, because it wasn't in the subtitles.

A feature that I like very much in Application Insights is "Availability Monitoring". It allows you to configure web tests that are automatically executed in fixed time intervals and monitor the availability and responsiveness of your application. Application Insights currently supports two different types of tests, url ping tests and Visual Studio Web Tests. The tests can be scheduled and executed from a list of about 20 different locations around the globe. Activating sites in different countries gives you a great insight into the user experience that remote users will have. Once you have a set of tests defined, the results will be collected and shown in the availability dashboard.
This one is easy. You just define an url that needs to be called, set the interval to when you want it to be called and pick the locations from where it should be called.
The Azure Portal allows you to upload a Visual Studio Web Test and execute it on a schedule and from several distant locations. A Visual Studio Web Test is basically a list of urls that are called one after another. This list of urls can then be enriched with verification information. An example would be to fail the test if a HTTP response code other than 200 has been received. In order for the test to decide if it was successful or failed, you can check for errors, HTTP return codes, response times or data in the response. Once the Web Test is completed it can be saved and uploaded to the Application Insights instance through the Azure Portal.
Visual Studio Web Test can either be written manually in Visual Studio or recorded using the Visual Studio Web Test Recorder. However, I would like to show you yet another really nice trick that only few people know about. Web Tests can be recorded using the free http proxy tool Fiddler from Telerik (https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler). Just open Fiddler, go to your application in the browser and use your website. Fiddler will pick up all the requests and responses that went from your browser to your web server. In Fiddler, mark the requests that you are interested in and select "File –> Export Sessions –> Selected Sessions". In the save as dialog, select "Visual Studio Web Test". Then, open the saved file in Visual Studio and modify to your liking.
Once you are happy, save it and upload to the Azure Portal.
Clicking on the "Availiability" tile in the Azure Portal takes us to the availability overview that shows us a chart of all the successful and failed tests that have been executed in the time range and a line chart with the test duration over time.
From the details blade, you can download the web test results and open the file in Visual Studio. This allows you to take a look at the details of every request and response included in the web test results.
I really like how the loop is closed by creating a web test in Visual Studio, uploading it to the Application Insights Instance, letting it run on a schedule from different locations, downloading the results and analyzing them in Visual Studio!

The short-term signals of I Know First's proprietary algorithm can be successfully utilized besides their application for better timing of the mid and long term investments. Variety of rules based on those can be developed for trades execution and rebalancing on a daily basis.
A high predictability level and signal strength are key factors for the most intuitive approach of selecting the highest ranked stocks. Besides that, there can be several ways of integrating a trend or mean reversion logic into the selection process to account for trader's approach and/or market conditions.
The following back test results of four strategies in this context are given for the S&P 500 stocks universe since the begin of 2016. At most 20 highest ranked stocks per day (if available) are traded in each case, the equity lines represent the value of corresponding equally weighted and daily rebalanced baskets of stocks, set up to outperform the broader universe. For three of them, additionally to the predictability and signal level, the price and signal dynamics are taken into account for the respective selection processes. No technical analysis elements (indicators, oscillators) are part of the analysis below. The signals are generated daily before the market opens and subsequently used to rank the stocks. For simplification purposes the simulation uses close-to-close price changes only and hence no limit orders or stop losses are considered for further performance enhancement. Both long and short positions can be taken, no leverage is applied.
In all of the strategies mentioned above only signals with higher predictability levels were used.

Prevention, detection and investigation
2. Prevention, detection and investigation
The best way to fight fraud is to try and prevent it happening in the first place.
We've put a number of arrangements in place to detect and prevent fraud and corruption activity. This includes a thorough verification of the circumstances detailed on applications received for various services such as benefits and housing.
We also take part in a number of data matching exercises designed to identify discrepancies in a person's declared circumstances from records held.
In addition to the National Fraud Initiative where data is matched from other departments within the council, other government bodies, social housing providers and other partner agencies, the council is also part of the Kent Intelligence Network.
This is a is a collaboration arrangement between all Kent local authorities including Kent County Council, Medway Council, Kent and Medway Town Fire Authority, the Kent district/borough and city councils; where information is shared to identify potential fraud. Further information about the Kent Intelligence Network can be found via Kent County Council.
If it is alleged that someone is committing fraud, it will be reviewed by us and, where appropriate, we will investigate. All allegations relating to benefit fraud will be passed to the Single Fraud Investigation Service at the Department for Work and Pensions.
Where it is proven that someone has deliberately attempted to get council tax reductions/discounts/exemptions, business rates reductions/exemptions, housing, any service to which they are not entitled, or have sub-let or parted with possession of their council housing we will have to take action.
In all cases we will look to recover the money back that we have lost and then consider whether any further action needs to be taken. This could include criminal proceedings. We will always publicise the details of any successful convictions to try and prevent others from doing the same.

Yeah, I've had this annoying copy/paste problem on amd64 since day one. I cannot copy from Eterm and paste it to 32bit Opera. But then again I can copy from Opera and paste it to Eterm. Go figure.
I've also noticed that I must first copy from Eterm, paste it to Gaim (or some other program, but Gaim is usually the one I have at hand), then copy it from Gaim and then paste it to Opera. Voilà, it works.


Home / Archives / August 2005 / undocumented Oracle?
There has been a flurry of blog posts from Radoslav, Doug, Jonathan Lewis and from Tom Kyte all about a paper written by Don titled "Undocumented secrets for super-sizing your PGA" that was recently released.
I like undocumented and hard to find information so I am always interested by papers like this. I won't get into the for and against of this particular article and the opposers, Radoslav has done a good job of summarising the current state of this farce in his post "The Don Burleson's article"
I wanted to highlight this post not for many of the reasons that others have quoted but for one reason in particular. This is that whilst undocumented information is interesting to know it should not be used in production databases under any circumstances, also hidden parameters should never be set unless Oracle support direct you to do so.

How to Build a DIY Animal Shelter for Barnyard Animals
Need to build your own DIY animal shelter for your dog or even barnyard animals, we'll show you how in this project covering this awesome animal shelter built by our customer, Linda.
This shelter features a sloped design and it can be easily recreated even if you don't have much building experience. The design can even be modified or configured for your exact dimensions.
Using Kee Klamp fittings and pipe, you can built a frame for the shelter with no cutting needed. In this project, we'll cover the details of Linda's DIY animal shelter, the fittings you'll need to built one just like it, and how to use each fitting.
So let's right get to it:
Linda's Animal Shelter Project Details
First up, let's cover the details of Linda's animal shelter. The shelter itself is 6 ft. deep by 10 ft. wide. It's 5 ft. high in the back and approximately 7.5 ft. at the front.
For the frame of the shelter, Linda used Kee Klamp fittings and Schedule 40 galvanized pipe. To anchor the structure, four t-posts were used at each corner with the pipe sliding over each of the posts.
From there, 2x4s were used to complete the frame to allow Linda to attach the shelter siding and roof. The 2x4s at the top of the roof are attached to the pipe frame using the P50 fitting. This fitting attaches to the pipe frame but also has a tab with a hole in that extends from the fitting. The wood 2x4s could then be bolted to each of the P50 fittings.
Regular u-bolts were used to attach the wood 2x4s at the side of the frame.
Moving on, the shelter was fitted with a 9 ft. wide roll of Tyvek around the top and sides of the shelter frame. This barrier helps to keep rain out.
For the roof and side paneling, 8 ft. galvanized steel ribbed roof paneling was used. These panels fit over the roof nicely but for the siding, they had to be cut to size using a circular saw with a metal cutting blade.
Overall, Linda has been really happy with the shelter and says it's working out great for her animals:
"So far it's working great at giving our ram lambs a shady place. We made it tall enough to walk into just for the sake of simplicity for us, but it's way taller than the rams need. :D. The good news is that if we ever put our llama in that field it's tall enough for her, too. I'm also thinking of putting boards across the side support to create a shelf to hold grooming tools, extra bowls/dishes, etc. "
Fittings Needed to Build this Animal Shelter:
Below, are all of the fitting used in this project that you'll need in order to build your own:
Parts You'll Need
351-8 - Ridge Fitting, 1-1/2"
02 x $32.27 $64.55
350-8 - Eave Fitting, 1-1/2"
10-8 - Single Socket Tee, 1-1/2"
P50-8 - Offset Single Tab Panel w/Slot, 1-1/2
How to Use Each Fitting to Build Your Own Animal Shelter:
Now, let's talk about how to use each fitting so you can build your own animal shelter just like the one Linda built.
At the back corner for each side of the shelter, the Eave fitting is used to connect the vertical post, the horizontal support, and the pipe used for the roof slant:
At the front of the frame, the Ridge fitting is used to connect the vertical post, the horizontal support, and the other end of pipe for the roof slant:
The Single Socket Tee fitting is used on both sides of the frame to add an extra support. This support is connected to the Eave fitting at the back of the frame.
Lastly, the P50 fitting is used at the top of the frame to attach the roof 2x4s:
That's all there is to it! Using Kee Klamp fittings really makes the process so much simpler since the fittings are adjustable and can be locked down or loosened by adjusting the set screw for that fitting.
If you're thinking of building your own animal shelter, make sure to browse our full selection of fittings to find the right ones for your project, and if you need any help, don't hesitate to reach out to our team for assistance.

Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb : Review
By SJardine on May 24, 2017 in Reviews
More than twenty years ago, the first epic fantasy novel featuring FitzChivalry Farseer and his mysterious, often maddening friend the Fool struck like a bolt of brilliant lightning. Now New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb brings to a momentous close the third trilogy featuring these beloved characters in a novel of unsurpassed artistry that is sure to endure as one of the great masterworks of the genre.
Fitz's young daughter, Bee, has been kidnapped by the Servants, a secret society whose members not only dream of possible futures but use their prophecies to add to their wealth and influence. Bee plays a crucial part in these dreams—but just what part remains uncertain.
As Bee is dragged by her sadistic captors across half the world, Fitz and the Fool, believing her dead, embark on a mission of revenge that will take them to the distant island where the Servants reside—a place the Fool once called home and later called prison. It was a hell the Fool escaped, maimed and blinded, swearing never to return.
For all his injuries, however, the Fool is not as helpless as he seems. He is a dreamer too, able to shape the future. And though Fitz is no longer the peerless assassin of his youth, he remains a man to be reckoned with—deadly with blades and poison, and adept in Farseer magic. And their goal is simple: to make sure not a single Servant survives their scourge
It's been a few weeks since I finished Assassin's Fate and I'm still struggling to put how I felt about it into works. I've been a huge fan of Robin Hobbs ever since I first picked up a copy of Assassin's Apprentice nearly 20 years ago when I stumbled across it at the library. In all that time I don't think there has been another author who has so consistently made me fall in love with her characters and the world that they live in. I've sat up the entire night at least 3 nights now, reading this book 3 separate times.
I don't want to chance spoiling anything for the people who haven't read the book or are just getting started on the series so I'm not going to go into much detail. I will say that I think this is by far the best book Robin Hobb has written so far. I've never had a book make me feel so many different emotions at one time. I laughed, I cried, I cheered, and I got angry over and over again as I read this book. I don't really know how she managed to pack so many different emotions into a single book.
Since I've been reading this series for almost 20 years now I probably had my expectations set way too high for this book, but Robin Hobb somehow managed to exceed my expectations in just about every way. I've always said if there is one thing that I think this author does better than anyone else it's write the ending to a trilogy or series. I can still remember finishing Assassin's Quest years ago and just being awed by the ending — Assassin's Fate surpassed that ending in every way possible. Robin Hobb has a lot of work ahead of her if she eve wants to top this book at some point in the future.
There probably isn't a single person that I wouldn't recommend this book to over and over again, though I would highly recommend that everyone who hasn't read the rest of the series do so first. Anyone who tries to start here will be completely and utterly lost.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A: The recommended approach is the run two queries, one for the data and one with COUNT().
With MySQL, you can also use SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS (mostly if you have a LIMIT clause), however the performance of that is disputable, see Which is fastest? SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS FROM `table`, or SELECT COUNT(*).

E6 Highway Project
Sweden and Norway
Highway construction and improvements

The final leg of the E6 highway is expected to be completed by 2015. Image courtesy of Yvonne Palm Lundstrom.
The Svinesund road bridge on the E6 highway was completed in 2005. Image courtesy of Lennart Forsberg.
The 3,140km long E6 Highway is the primary road of both the Swedish west coast and the north-south region of Norway. The E6 Highway is among the most important highways of the Scandinavian zone, as it connects several key locations. It has been estimated that approximately 12,000 vehicles travel on the Swedish part of the highway, with one-fifth of those being heavy trucks.
The construction of the Hovinmoen-Dal part of the E6 Highway was carried out between 2007 and 2009. A four-lane highway was constructed as part of the project.
Struma Motorway, Bulgaria
Struma Motorway is a major road infrastructure project located in the Yugozapaden region of south-west Bulgaria.
Trafikverket, the Swedish Transport Administration, has awarded a contract worth $70.12m for the construction of the final portion of the E6 Highway located in the south-western part of Sweden. The contract is for constructing the 7.5km stretch connecting Pålen and Tanumshede. The construction work commenced in January 2013 and will be completed in the middle of 2015.
The traffic flow on the E6 highway has been consistently increasing. Some portions of the highway at the northernmost part of Norway are not sufficiently wide, thus slowing down the heavy vehicles. In addition, there are many sharp curves, especially at the northern part of Trondheim.
Trafikverket is currently considering many safety and capacity improvements to the E6 highway, including construction of new interchanges, new roundabouts at a number of existing interchanges, new ramps, and so on.
Details of the E6 highway routes
The E6 highway links the major economic regions of Oresund, Gothenburg and Oslo. The route passes through the Swedish regions of Trelleborg, Malmö, Helsingborg, Halmstad, Gothenburg and Svinesund.
"The E6 Highway is among the most important highways of the Scandinavian zone."
It then connects to Norway and covers the regions of Halden, Sarpsborg, Moss, Oslo, Hamar, Lillehammer, Dombås, Oppdal, Melhus, Trondheim, Stjørdal, Verdal, Steinkjer, Grong, Mosjøen, Mo i Rana, Saltdal, Fauske, Narvik, Setermoen, Nordkjosbotn, Skibotn, Alta, Olderfjord, Lakselv, Karasjok, Varangerbotn and Kirkenes.
The route finally ends at the town centre of Kirkenes, close to the border of Russia and Norway.
The latest sections opened on the E6 highway include the Skee-Ejgst and Knäm-Lugnet sections (opened in 2012), the Tanumshede-Knäm section (opened in 2011), and the Rabbalshede-Pålen and Lugnet-Skee sections (opened in 2010).
Bridge construction on the E6 highway
The Swedish Road Administration has built four road bridges on the highway, all of which comprise big steel structures. The Uddevalla bridge was the first to be constructed, in 2000.
"The E6 highway links the major economic regions of Oresund, Gothenburg and Oslo."
The construction of the Svinesund road bridge on the E6 Highway started in 2002 and was completed in 2005. The bridge, which crosses the Ide Fjord and links Sweden and Norway, is among the world's biggest single arch bridges.
Two more bridges were constructed on the E6 Highway crossing Dynekilen and Sorkilen, in 2008. Using big steel structures to construct the bridges not only reduced the duration of construction, but also ensured that disruption caused to traffic flow was minimal. The length of all four bridges together is 600m.
Contractors involved with the E6 highway construction
Bilfinger Berger, Ingenieurbüro Meye and Schubert were the primary contractors and structural engineers for the Svinesund road bridge construction work.
Finland-based Ruukki (Rautaruukki Corp) supplied the steel structures for three bridges, at a cost of approximately €2.5m ($3.76m).
The chief construction contractor for the Hovinmoen-Dal roadway was Mesta. The value of the contract awarded to Mesta was €70m ($90.92m).
Veidekke Construction built the two bridges on the highway across Dynekilen and Sorkilen, under a contract worth SEK165m ($21.22m) awarded by the Swedish Road Administration.
The construction contract for the last part of the E6 Highway, between Pålen and Tanumshede, has been awarded to Skanska.
Norwegian Public Roads Administration and Swedish National Road Administration jointly provided the funds required for the Svinesund road bridge construction work.

Maiori, Industrial Pioneering Spirit
It all started in Hong Kong in 1989. Maiori Design is born. Founded as MDF (Manufacture Design Factory) Maiori positioned itself as a manufacturer of furniture parts, able to manage the manufacture of its products from design to marketing. We were then at the dawn of globalisation. The Berlin Wall had just fallen and China was opening up to the outside world, Another new economic and creative dynamic was taking over. Production was being outsourced now, particularly in Asia and lifestyles and consumption patterns were evolving too.
Conscious of the ongoing evolutions, Maiori relied on know-how, tradition and craftsmanship, all of which were propelled in an industrial, global and world-wide logic. Furniture from MDF factories were in line with European standards, while at the same time, the brand also set up a Research & Development department in which the designers involved could monitor, supervise and control the production of their objects. This prompted Maiori to design its own pieces of furniture, for itself but also for other brands. Maiori established itself by placing its label on "in-house" designs and creations fitting its values, spirit and philosophy. That is to say, that could offer a quality of execution at an affordable price, without neglecting creativity, innovation and the relevance of breaking away from fashions and trends.
Some twenty-five years later, the brand matured. It has refined its strategy, identity and extended its product range to include solar lighting, but it remains faithful to its original values. Maiori has always claimed a pioneering spirit, an openness to the world, talent, cutting-edge technologies and design. Each of the brand's objects tells a story and is designed to make life easier for its users. Usefulness takes precedence over futility. This logic is reflected also in Maiori's commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

Exhibition- Jude Bailey-O'Hare
Jan 2 @ 6:00 pm – Feb 2 @ 6:00 pm
Jude Bailey-O'Hare
The deterioration of a mind.
A visual response on the descent of a transient relationship through representational processes.
I decontextualize, then I reconstruct. Dissecting and looking past the obvious, close observation of the subject. I work on small scale because I believe it allows a more intimate, delicate connection with the piece while still allowing the viewer a broad exploration into the individual reality of each work.
I attempted to give up everything I loved that did not love me back. But now, I analyse and I make. Using first and second-hand experiences of toxic behaviour within a relationship as the subject matter while extracting the essence and feeling involved in those experiences through a trail and error process of stitching techniques to create an atmosphere within each piece that will push the audience to hopefully question and explore the meaning behind every action taken within their own relationship. Any relationship.
Within the range of small works, I have a variety of muted, pared-down pieces as well as over-worked, heavily-stitched pieces. The range of stitch techniques and styles are relevant to the depth and complexity of relationships.

"Zacc on Sax and Vocals – Dynamic, energetic, confident, talented, versatile! This young man has energy to burn. Either he's singing, playing Sax, using Tambourine or down in the crowd whipping up a fever!"
"Zac on keys. So refreshing to see a good keyboard player in a band. Zac, like his band mates, plays with an ease and confidence that belies his young age."

Belfast Street Art Walking Tour
STARTS FROM: OUTSIDE THE DUKE OF YORK, COMMERCIAL COURT, BELFAST
START TIME: 12 NOON, (2HR), FINISHING AT BLACK BOX
Belfast is a weird, passionate, messed up place. The legacy of our conflict is about more than people, it's about place. It's about how the people of Belfast navigate this divided city, and how we build shared spaces for people of all backgrounds to co-exist.
If you spend any time in Belfast you'll know that it's walls are covered in art. Often this art has been used to mark territory for one side or the other but recently, alongside this, something transformative has been bubbling. Street artists from across the globe have joined a new breed of Belfast based street artists to leave their mark on the city, and in particular in the Cathedral Quarter where the annual festival Hit the North takes place.
As curators of this festival Seedhead Arts know the artists, the stories, and perhaps most importantly the need to forge a new narrative for Belfast. Our Street Art Walking Tour forms part of that narrative. This art speaks of love, of laughter, of anger, of beauty and of defiance but most of all it speaks of Belfast and the place that it's becoming.
Join us for a gently paced, two hour walk around the ever changing face of Belfast Street art every Sunday at noon, leaving from the red benches on Commercial Court (beside the Duke of York)

Q: How to force Entity Framework 4.0 to generate parameters of equivalent size to their corresponding database columns I have a very simple table called Member, which consists of the following:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Member](
    [Member_MemberId] [int] IDENTITY(1000,1) NOT NULL,
    [Member_ExternalId] [varchar](32) NULL,
    [Member_ConsumerId] [varchar](32) NULL,
 CONSTRAINT [PK_Member] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
(
    [Member_MemberId] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX  = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE  = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS  = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS  = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]

I'm running a query using EF 4.0 from a datacontext as follows:
return Members.SingleOrDefault(member => member.ExternalId == externalId);

The generated SQL looks like this:
exec sp_executesql N'SELECT TOP (2)
[Extent1].[Member_MemberId] AS [Member_MemberId],
[Extent1].[Member_ExternalId] AS [Member_ExternalId],
[Extent1].[Member_ConsumerId] AS [Member_ConsumerId]
FROM [dbo].[Member] AS [Extent1]
WHERE [Extent1].[Member_ExternalId] = @p__linq__0',N'@p__linq__0 varchar(8000)',@p__linq__0='Paul'

From a performance POV, this query is suboptimal, given that it automatically casts the Member_ExternalId column as varchar(8000), when the column itself is limited to varchar(32).
Is there a way to force EF to generate on-the-fly parameters of size equivalent to their corresponding rows?

A: There doesn't seem to be a way of implementing this directly. I assume that it's a built-in feature to guarantee consistency across execution plans. I've replaced the query with a stored procedure in the meantime.

A: We suffered from that convertion a lot. After a bit investigation, we mapped some properties in mapping classes to tell EF to that column is not big as you think.
A SQL parameter with 8000 char length decreases query performance A LOT.
We didn't map all properties' lengths in mapping classes but we mapped when we need performance.
You can define your parameter in an EntityTypeConfiguration mapping class like this (tested):
Property(t => t.ExternalId)
    .HasColumnName("Member_ExternalId")
    .HasColumnType("varchar")
    .HasMaxLength(32);

Or you can use data annotation (not tested)
[Column(TypeName="varchar")]
[MaxLength(32)]
public string ExternalId {get; set;}

Q: VSTS Release triggers on multiple artifact sources won't care for branch specification Microsoft have added ability to define a VSTS Release Trigger for a specific branch only. It's listed as "Release management orchestration improvements – branch conditions, multiple artifact triggers" on the Features Timeline.
We do use branches and PR builds too, but we only release code from Git master branch. In the past we even had to create a custom extension for this.
However it's still not working as expected in case of multiple builds taken to a Release. Consider this scenario:

*

*We have component A and component B, both produce builds for master branch, as well as other branches and PRs.

*We have a single Release definition with 2 triggers defined for both builds for master branch only.

*On Artifacts tab we added both builds with the option "Latest", as two other options are manual and so won't conform to Continuous Deployment principle.

*When component A is built for master, it triggers a Release which takes artifacts from this Latest master build of component A.

*But the build taken for component B can be for any branch\PR, whatever is the latest.

Is there any way to ensure that only specific branch builds are taken into
  Release (master builds in my case)?

See screenshot below.
1) Configuration of triggers for 2 builds.

2) Artifact source taken is the Latest version

3) Some releases are still triggered for other branches (not master in this case):

A: What you want is the ability for an artifact where the default version is "Latest from a specific branch"
This feature is currently under preview for a selected set of customers and will be released soon for a wider audience.

Simultaneous confidence bands and hypothesis testing in varying-coefficient models
Jianqing Fan, Wenyang Zhang
Regression analysis is one of the most commonly used techniques in statistics. When the dimension of independent variables is high, it is difficult to conduct efficient non-parametric analysis straightforwardly from the data. As an important alternative to the additive and other non-parametric models, varying-coefficient models can reduce the modelling bias and avoid the "curse of dimensionality" significantly. In addition, the coefficient functions can easily be estimated via a simple local regression. Based on local polynomial techniques, we provide the asymptotic distribution for the maximum of the normalized deviations of the estimated coefficient functions away from the true coefficient functions. Using this result and the pre-asymptotic substitution idea for estimating biases and variances, simultaneous confidence bands for the underlying coefficient functions are constructed. An important question in the varying coefficient models is whether an estimated coefficient function is statistically significantly different from zero or a constant. Based on newly derived asymptotic theory, a formal procedure is proposed for testing whether a particular parametric form fits a given data set. Simulated and real-data examples are used to illustrate our techniques.

The fact that most writing is the graphic representation of vocal-auditory processes tends to obscure the fact that writing can exist as a series of morphemes at its own level, independent of or interacting with the more fundamental (or at least more primitive) vocal-auditory morphemes. Recognition of visual morphemes is also hampered by the controversy, not yet subsided, over the primacy of the spoken versus the written; the victory of those who sensibly insist upon language as fundamentally a vocal-auditory process has been so hard won that any concession to writing savors of retreat. Yet, so long as a point-to-point correspondence is maintained, it is theoretically possible to transform any series of morphemes from any sensory field into any other sensory field, and keep them comprehensible; the only condition is that contact with the nervous system be maintained at some point. More than theoretically: it is actually done for the congenitally deaf-and-dumb reader of Braille, who 'reads' and 'comprehends' with his finger-tips. Just as here is a system of tactile morphemes existing with no connexion (other than historical) with the vocal-auditory field, so there is nothing unscientific in the assumption that a similarly independent visual series may be found.
1. Visual morphemes exist at their own level, independently of vocal-auditory morphemes. Even a perfect phonemic transcription would, if used for communication, immediately become a system of visual morphemes. In modern English, education has made the visual system part of the public domain, so that it exhibits some evolutionary tendencies unsecured to vocal-auditory morphemes.
2. In the implicit reactions of literate people, eye movements combine with other implicit movements. There is as good reason to posit eye movements as the physiological correlate of 'thinking' and 'understanding' as there is to posit laryngeal movements as such a correlate.
3. In view of the close integration of the 'language organization', it is probably necessary to revise the dictum that 'language must always be studied without reference to writing'. This in no way detracts from the value of that dictum as applied to all languages at some stage of their development and to largely literate speech communities today; it is merely a recognition of a shift that has taken place in the communicative behavior of some highly literate societies.
4. If it is true that the residue of language after the vocal-auditory is subtracted has provided a redoubt from which attacks could be made on linguistic science, then an appreciation of visual morphemes by both parties to the controversy may prove a step in the direction of reconciliation.

I received some very encouraging messages addressed to the friend complaining to me yesterday we were too few in Valletta. I've picked out two of them that seek to benefit from history or from experience.
This first is from a letter Victor Hugo wrote in exile. The reference to 7.5 millions is to the suffrage that would make Louis Bonaparte, Emperor Napoleon III in 1851.
Whenever you feel outnumbered, remember that right and wrong are not a popularity contest.
You are a captain of artillery at Berne, Monsieur Louis Bonaparte; you have necessarily a smattering of algebra and geometry. Here are certain axioms of which you have, probably, some idea.
Between two given points, the straight line is the shortest way.
A part is less than the whole.
Now, cause seven million five hundred thousand voters to declare that two and two make five, that the straight line is the longest way, that the whole is less than a part; cause eight millions, ten millions, a hundred millions of voters so to declare, and you will not have advanced a single step.
Well—you will be surprised to hear it—there are axioms in probity, in honesty, in justice, as there are axioms in geometry; and moral truth is no more at the mercy of a vote than is algebraic truth.
The notion of good and evil is insoluble by universal suffrage. It is not given to a ballot to make the false true, or injustice just. Human conscience is not to be put to the vote.
Look at that lamp, that little obscure light, unnoticed, forgotten in a corner, lost in the darkness. Look at it, admire it. It is hardly visible; it burns in solitude. Make seven million five hundred thousand mouths breathe upon it at once, and you will not extinguish it. You will not even cause the flame to flicker. Cause a hurricane to blow; the flame will continue to ascend, straight and pure, towards Heaven.
That flame is the flame which illumines, in the night of exile, the paper on which I now write.
When we were living in Germany, in our quiet residential street in a village close to Bonn, a neighbour decided to erect a mobile phone antenna on his residence. It was a huge installation, on an hillside villa of a greedy but bankrupt resident. The outcry against the antenna among the neighbours was huge.
But, being a sparsely populated hillside, we were few. We all pooled in our various resources – time, money, know-how and a grit to fight. We collected signatures to present them at the local council so that the item is put on the agenda, blocked the street with a parked car so that a crane couldn't pass (but within the law) and raised hell with the local press.
The police came during the street blocking and found that the car, albeit in the way for the crane, was parked correctly and hence could not be towed. We informed the press, the press came and we staged a demonstration, which duly featured in the regional newspapers. We met weekly to discuss the next steps. We had a website and made our fight public. We went on the radio. And we had a slim chance to win at court because of irregularities (the mobile phone lobby in Germany is very powerful).
A neighbour said, if we don't fight this, we lost already. It was a slim chance, we took it and we lost.
So what? We fought. We didn't go quietly into the night and accepted the monstrosity as a fait accompli. We raised awareness, met wonderful people who supported our cause and formed new bonds. We got the respect from the local council, we became a small force to be reckoned with. Many people admired what we did. Many more couldn't be bothered, the aerial wasn't in their backyard after all and not depreciating the value of their properties.
How many were we? Eight people.
How many were at the demonstration? Five. All holding placards.
A year after our lost court case, the local council decided to renew our street and asked for a hefty sum from the residents. We fought again, this time we were a few more people, but the core group that did the work consisted again of only nine people. This time we won.
It's not the numbers that count. It's what you do and how you use your resources and abilities.

Two Questions For Your Doctor Before A Colonoscopy
Before the colonoscopy begins, it pays to ask your doctor some pointed questions.
Cancer prevention guidelines recommend that men and women get screened for colorectal cancer every 10 years between the ages of 50 and 75.
Colonscopy is the usual approach, but only 59 percent of people who should be screened get the tests, according to the American Cancer Society.
No wonder. Colonoscopy involves inserting a tube equipped with a lighted camera into your rear end and snaking it through the length of the colon looking for fleshy masses called polyps that may be cancerous or become cancerous.
Before the test, patients must take laxatives to ensure their bowel is empty. As clinicians sometimes say, between the bowel preparation and the test itself, the "ick" factor is pretty high.
Unfortunately, unless the test is performed by a skilled physician with a good record of detecting polyps, all that effort may be wasted. "The biggest problem with colonoscopy is that it's operator dependent," says Dr, Douglas Rex, director of endoscopy at Indiana University Hospital.
A skilled physician should have a polyp detection rate of about 25 percent for men and 20 percent for women, says Dr. Durado Brooks, director of prostate and colorectal cancers for the American Cancer Society. Those figures correspond to the percentages of men and women over 50 who have polyps.
Another key indicator is the "colonoscopy withdrawal time," which measures how long a physician takes to remove the scope after reaching the beginning of the colon. Longer is better, within reason. A withdrawal time of at least six minutes is associated with higher detection rates. Ten minutes is optimal, according to an analysis published last year.
"The colon is a very twisted organ, and you may see things on the way out that were missed on the way in," says Brooks.
Don't be shy. To make sure you're getting the most out of your once-a-decade screening test, quiz your gastroenterologist about those two measures, says Brooks.

A pair of Banana Republic employees were busted for grand larceny yesterday after they stole more than $50,000 worth of clothing, and attempted to sell it on eBay, authorities said.
Nassau County cops said Kilma Robinson, 34, of Piscataway, N.J., and Michael Gonzales, 23, of Elmont, had been clerks at the Roosevelt Field Mall location since April.
The duo, cops said, stuffed garbage bags and boxes with clothing and accessories and put them near the trash in the store's back room.
They allegedly would retrieve the booty later, dump it in their cars and stash it in their homes.
Cops said their investigation revealed that the tandem regularly put the items up for sale on eBay and earned an undisclosed amount of money from the scam.
Nassau police suggested that Banana Republic management alert eBay officials to the hot merchandise.
Security guards confronted the pair yesterday, and the duo allegedly copped to the thefts.
Store security then alerted police, who arrested the employees without incident at the East Garden City store.
A search of their homes, police said, turned up more than $50,000 worth of stolen Banana Republic goods.
The stolen items consisted mostly of women's clothing. The pair lifted men's clothing, jewelry and watches as well.
The two were arraigned yesterday on second-degree larceny charges in First District Court in Hempstead.
