After the closure of The Hut, a legendary dive bar across the street from campus, students are now flocking to the Normandy House Lounge on Tuesdays and Thursdays, prompting the management to hand out plastic cups instead of glass on nights when students swell the bar.
However, Hut property owner Ray Lychak continues to work on the building every week day to "clean the old girl up," while always wearing his iconic red work shirt, sunglasses and faded jeans. He said that his contractor is amazed at how many people stop by the property to do walk-throughs and share memories of the bar.
The wood panels on the bar's walls were just removed—the panels had blackened after enduring years of spilled libations, Lychak said. He is also meeting with an architect to discuss plans to redesign the bathrooms, and plans to make them ADA compliant.
The bar closed in mid-December after former proprietor Mike O'Brien failed to renew his lease. He ended up removing most of the bar's interior fixtures, including the iconic dollar bills. Since early January, Lychak has been working to tidy up the property.
Lychak said he still wants to reopen the property as a bar that may or may not serve food, and is close to selecting the proprietors—he is currently choosing between two potential tenants, both of whom have business experience.

O'Brien sold the university three signs that were posted on the exterior of The Hut—two of the signs were located on each side of the building, while the third sign listing the bar's operating hours was posted near the front door. The outdoor signage is currently being stored on campus.
He said that O'Brien's lease outlined that O'Brien owned the indoor fixtures and furniture in the bar—this includes the wooden bar, tables and chairs that the university purchased from O'Brien. However, Lychak insists that the lease outlined that he owned the outdoor signage, not O'Brien, and claims that O'Brien had no legal right to sell the signs to the university.
"Those particular signs are clear cut, they don't belong to anybody but me," Lychak said.
Lychak said he has attempted to speak with administrators about the outdoor signage many times, but was stonewalled and redirected to different offices each time.
"It's a shame that the university has to stoop so low and is so hush hush about everything," Lychak said.
So far, Lychak claims he has yet to meet with an administrator about the signs. He said he tried to meet with John Ottoboni, Santa Clara's general counsel, but Ottoboni refused to speak with him because Lychak has an attorney.
"We've got too many new people hired on campus that don't know the history of Santa Clara and the history of The Hut," Lychak said.
Ottoboni was unable to meet ahead of print deadlines. Chris Shay, interim vice president of finance and administration, did not respond to interview requests via phone or email.

Since the closure of The Hut, alumni have been speaking out about their concerns and allegations about the university's involvement.
Alumnus Scott Asher, who graduated in 1987, said he thinks that it was "incredibly unusual" for the university to act as a "PR agency" for O'Brien and announce that The Hut was closing in an email to the university community on Nov. 2.
"To involve themselves in the business of the private company … something just seemed strange about it," Asher said.
He said that hearing the university make such statements of certainty that the bar was closing and would be gone forever was a "red flag" to him and many other alumni.
"It makes us ask the question, how can you be so certain that there won't be another tenant?" Asher said.
Asher said he has reason to believe that the administration knew that O'Brien would shutter business long before the university announced it would close; he said he thinks that it has been dishonest to faculty, staff, students and alumni about this.
On Oct. 26, 2016, an anonymous source came forward and told The Santa Clara that Santa Clara administrators were well aware that The Hut was closing. One week later, on Nov. 2, Jim Lyons, vice president for University Relations, sent out an email to the university community saying that the bar would be closing.
"The circumstances surrounding the bar's 'closure' are obviously fishy and disputed by the owner, and unfortunately I suspect our Jesuit institution was directly involved in whatever backroom deals were made," class of 1990 alumnus Todd Rahimi said in an email.
Now, Asher says he questions Santa Clara's leadership, adding that there are "thousands" of fellow alumni who share the same sentiment about the way the administration has treated the closure of The Hut.
He said this has prompted him to question what else the university might be keeping under wraps.
Rahimi said that the university has a "long history of lying to students and alumni," citing Santa Clara's "efforts to close the Hut in the past" and the circumstances surrounding when the university nixed its football program.
"In those moments, we wonder where the Jesuit part of the program has gone and are grimly reminded that the school's administrators are running a business venture like any other, and they will do what they must to get what they want," Rahimi said.
An alumnus who wishes to remain anonymous said that they knew that the university paid for the wooden bar to be ripped out from inside of the building. The bar was removed in December before O'Brien vacated the property.
Asher said he thinks that removing the bar from the property created another hurdle for Lychak to open the bar again. Asher, who once owned a business in Willow Glen, said that anytime you do a tenant improvement on older property, you typically have to get the rest of the building up to code.
The property, a 1910 farmhouse, lacks fire sprinklers, ADA compliant entrances at the front and back of the building and ADA compliant bathrooms. However, Lychak is going to bring the bathrooms up to code.
"You raise the question: has the university just put so many hurdles into the expense of getting this thing up and going again that now you've got a private landowner in his mid-seventies who is now faced with all of these financial hurdles—all because the university was complicit in the supposed acquisition of these assets that O'Brien was allegedly able to sell," Asher said.
Lychak is also claiming that someone "ratted him out" to the city that the bar was removed from the inside of the building. He said that a city inspector came by on Jan. 13 and told him that you need a permit to remove a bar from the inside of a building, and that someone reported him to the city for not having a permit.
"The guy said he couldn't tell me who reported it," Lychak said, adding that the inspector told him that he needed to purchase a $55 permit after removing the bar.
Asher said he thinks Lychak will continue to have tremendous difficulty re-opening the bar after the school purchased some of the interior and exterior elements.
"You've now stuck a private citizen with property that has little value, and they can just bleed the guy until he has no choice but to sell the bar," Asher said.
Although the university does not own the property and did not outline plans to develop on The Hut property in the 2020 plan submitted to the city, alumni are still speculating that the university is positioning itself to eventually have control over the block that The Hut is located on. Santa Clara owns all but five properties on that block.
Santa Clara also owns Franklin Street, which borders both campus and The Hut property.
"I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to realize how many properties they own over there, strategically positioning itself," Asher said.
On a post shared by the Alumni Association in early November regarding The Hut's impending closure, over 400 individuals commented on the post sharing memories and lamenting about how the bar was closing. One woman wrote on the post that her daughter received a survey about suggestions for another campus dining option, and that one of the options was the location of The Hut.
"I don't think (the administration) will ever realize the damage done to the standing of the school in the eyes of generations of Bronco alumni," Rahimi said.
Law student Miguel Flores said he understands why Santa Clara might not want a bar so close to campus due given the effects of alcohol on students.
The building is also located down the street from the Jesuit Residence.
However, without The Hut being open, he and his fellow law students lack a centralized meeting spot to allow them to come together and unwind after class.
The Normandy House Lounge, where many students are wetting their whistles, is located near the highway 17 on-ramp, which is significantly further away from campus than The Hut. Now, many students walk several blocks from campus at night or drive to the bar.
"Most students didn't even need to drive (to The Hut), they all live in that vicinity," Lychak said.

Airport Worker "Heartbroken" Witnessing Waves of Migrant Children Silently Flown Around the Country
StoryJuly 03, 2018

award-winning Democracy Now! producer and correspondent.
Renée Feltz
Democracy Now! correspondent and producer who has long reported on the criminalization of immigrants, family detention and the business of detention.
While reporting from the U.S.-Mexico border, Democracy Now! saw firsthand how migrant children separated from their parents are being sent around the country. We spoke with an airport worker who described children being brought in early in the morning in order to be flown out to other states, and raised concerns about how they are being treated. "The oldest I have seen is 10 or 11 years old. … The youngest is maybe 5," he says. "They are sitting there silently. … I feel kind of heartbroken. They are very, very young kids."
StoryDec 03, 2021Haitian Asylum Seekers Held Under Del Rio Bridge Now Face Inhumane Conditions in New Mexico ICE Jail
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman. We raced to the airport in Brownsville, Brownsville along the U.S.-Mexico border, to catch our flight back to New York. The airport has two airlines, American and United. The CEO of United put out a statement, saying, "Based on our serious concerns about this policy and how it's in deep conflict with our company's values, we have contacted federal officials to inform them that they should not transport immigrant children on United aircraft who have been separated from their parents." Well, that left American Airlines to transport children. And apparently a number of them have been transported. We sat down at Amelia's Cafe with a waiter at the cafe. He nervously agreed to describe what he'd seen.
AMY GOODMAN: Have you seen children coming through unaccompanied, separated children?
SANTIAGO: Yes. Since I started working here in April, I have seen like at least—cases like that, at least twice every month. The adults, when they come here, they come, and they order their food here. And usually, the kids—most of the time, they usually—no, it's very rarely that somebody comes and buys them food, too. But most of the time they're over there, and they're all wearing the same shirt color and everything.
AMY GOODMAN: These are the separated children?
SANTIAGO: Yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: And the adults come here to the cafe, and they have their breakfast or whatever.
SANTIAGO: Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: But they're not getting food for the kids.
SANTIAGO: No. Most of the time, no. Very rarely that that happens.
AMY GOODMAN: Did you ever ask for the kids to be brought here so they could eat?
SANTIAGO: The first time, yes, because I didn't know what it was, who they were. I thought they were from a school program or something. And then they told me that they were from—the separated kids that they're bringing over here, and that they were not supposed to like buy or bring food for them.
AMY GOODMAN: And how did they look? First of all, how old were the children?
SANTIAGO: Most of them—the oldest I have seen probably would be 10 or 11 years old, at most. Most of them are young kids. And like they're all very serious. They're not smiling or anything. They're all very serious look in their faces. And they always obey what they tell them to do. They're always sitting down there silently without like speaking up or anything.
AMY GOODMAN: How does it make you feel?
SANTIAGO: Well, to be honest, I feel like kind of heartbroken, because they're very, very young kids, that I bet they don't even know what's going on yet. And it's not like it's their fault that they're here in the first place. And for them to be going through that, like I don't wish that upon anybody.
AMY GOODMAN: Are they girls or boys?
SANTIAGO: Both sexes, equally. I would say they're both sexes equally.
AMY GOODMAN: And what have they been wearing?
SANTIAGO: They wear regular shirts, like the one I have, but they are colored. They're like—
AMY GOODMAN: They're T-shirts.
SANTIAGO: Yeah, T-shirts.
AMY GOODMAN: And what about their pants?
SANTIAGO: Their pants, they are khaki-like pants.
AMY GOODMAN: All the same?
SANTIAGO: All the same.
AMY GOODMAN: And where are they going?
SANTIAGO: Well, they never tell me where they take them. They just tell me that they are the kids that are separated. They never disclose any information from there.
AMY GOODMAN: So they fly them through the airport, at what time?
SANTIAGO: They're usually at the—with the very first flight that goes in the airport.
AMY GOODMAN: In the morning?
SANTIAGO: Yeah, the very first flight in the morning. The first flight usually is around 11:00 in the morning.
AMY GOODMAN: Have you ever gotten to talk to any of the children?
SANTIAGO: No, because, like I said, most of the time they are tight, and I can't leave the workplace in here.
AMY GOODMAN: Most of the time they're right out here in this waiting room here?
SANTIAGO: Yeah, in the lobby area right here in the airport.
AMY GOODMAN: And they just all sit next to each other?
SANTIAGO: Yes, ma'am. Yes.
AMY GOODMAN: As the people who are in charge of them sit here and have breakfast.
AMY GOODMAN: So how does it make you feel?
SANTIAGO: Like I said, it makes me feel heartbroken seeing that, seeing little kids go through that. It's very sad. And it really makes me feel sad for them, because, like I said, I bet they don't even know what's going on in their lives. And it's not even their fault that they're here in the first place. So, I just hope they can make it through.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you know where they're coming from?
SANTIAGO: No. Like I said, they don't tell me anything.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you know like if they come from Southwest Key, from the old Walmart?
SANTIAGO: Well, no, wouldn't be able to tell you. I'm sorry about that.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you know what countries they're from?
SANTIAGO: Well, yeah, they're from—from what they told me, they're from like South American countries.
AMY GOODMAN: You said the children, it looks like the oldest are like 10 and 11. How old are the youngest?
SANTIAGO: The youngest, I would say they're 4 to 5, because they're already walking and everything. Yeah, so 4 to 5 years old, the youngest.
AMY GOODMAN: And are they helping each other? Are they taking care of each other?
SANTIAGO: Yeah, they're always together. They're always—everybody's like always holding hands or hugging during when they're waiting in there, before they're ready to board.
AMY GOODMAN: And do you know where they're flying to?
SANTIAGO: No, don't know. They don't tell me that. Even when I ask them, they don't tell me that.
AMY GOODMAN: And how long has it been going on for? Ever since you got here?
SANTIAGO: Well, yes, ever since I started here, like I have seen that. I started working down here in April. But I met the woman that used to work before here. She told me that it used to happen before, too.
AMY GOODMAN: Did there—did it get more frequent in the last weeks?
SANTIAGO: I would say yeah, because, before, it used to be like, like I said, twice a month, at most. But now like usually like at least once a week sometimes even.
AMY GOODMAN: But now, more recently—
AMY GOODMAN: —in the last few days, did has happen?
SANTIAGO: Yeah, the last time it happened, it was like three days ago that I worked. That's when I saw it.
AMY GOODMAN: Three days ago.
AMY GOODMAN: Just like just a few days ago from today.
SANTIAGO: Yeah, yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: Earlier this week.
SANTIAGO: Yeah, earlier this week.
AMY GOODMAN: How does it affect people in the airport?
SANTIAGO: Well, nobody ever says anything here, I guess, because it's not—I guess they're not supposed to, right? It would look bad if they say anything like that. But like I—but from like my other co-workers and when we talk about it, yeah, it also like, you know, affects them, even though this has nothing to do with them, but it still affects them, seeing like that every day, right? Well, not every day, but like every time that they come here.
AMY GOODMAN: When you hear about the old Walmart, the Southwest Key facility, where 1,400 kids are being held in cages, do you know about that?
SANTIAGO: At first I didn't know about it, until recently, when they started telling me about that. When I heard about it, I was like—I didn't believe it, or I guess I didn't want to believe it, because it sounded so horrible, you know? But it's something that I hope that, like I said, doesn't happen to anybody, something so horrible like that. I mean, they're human beings, too.
AMY GOODMAN: Does any kid stand out for you, someone you saw over there, sitting just beyond this cafe?
SANTIAGO: Well, kids that come with their brothers, I would say, because when you see two kids that are related, like brother and sister, brother-brother, sister-sister, they're—you know, they are taking care of each other. They're always hugging or—well, the older one is always hugging the little one and, I guess, making him feel safe.
AMY GOODMAN: That's Santiago, a waiter in the cafe at the Brownsville airport. When we went through the TSA line to our gate, there were UMs, unaccompanied minors, in the waiting area. Democracy Now!'s Laura Gottesdiener, you spoke to them in Spanish.
LAURA GOTTESDIENER: Yeah, I spoke to a 16-year-old boy from Guatemala. He had been in Casa Padre, in the old Walmart, for three months. He had not been separated from his parents. But what he said really stood out, is that a number of the other boys that he was jailed with had been separated, and they had started to receive calls from their parents, who had already been deported back to Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras.
AMY GOODMAN: And then, we went from on the plane with them—their minder did not want us to talk—she was from Southwest Key—to these boys. At the airport in Dallas, when we got to our American Airlines gate, there was another row of at least six children. They weren't wearing the typical uniform of the sweatshirt and the sweatpants. They had different clothes. But they all had their new slip-on sneakers, carrying plastic bags of food, like premade sandwiches. Again, you were interrupted when you tried to talk to the kids, Laura.
LAURA GOTTESDIENER: Yeah, these were about maybe 5 and 6 years old, and the oldest was maybe 11 or 12 or possibly 13. They all had plastic bags with snacks. They all wore the exact same shoes. And when I asked the oldest one, you know, "Where are you guys headed?" she looked at me, and she said, "I don't know." And that's when the man, who said he was a social worker, who was accompanying them interrupted me and said, you know, "You can't speak to them, because of the situation," he called it.
AMY GOODMAN: The situation.
LAURA GOTTESDIENER: Yeah, I asked him repeatedly, I said, "What situation?" He said, "The situation."
AMY GOODMAN: And he referred to himself as a social worker.
LAURA GOTTESDIENER: He said he was a social worker.
AMY GOODMAN: And clearly, these kids were going to Newark. Final comment, Renée, as we wrap up this piece? And we will post the full interview with the waiter, Santiago.
RENÉE FELTZ: Well, it's going to be a tough road, moving forward, for the parents and the children to be reunited, to move forward in their legal cases. There's a lot of confusion about who can talk to who, how can they find each other.
AMY GOODMAN: The deadline for reuniting these kids with their parents—
RENÉE FELTZ: Coming up in about a week.
AMY GOODMAN: —is next July—is July 10th.
RENÉE FELTZ: Right.
AMY GOODMAN: That's in a few days, for under 5 years old, and two weeks later. Government not telling us what's happening.
RENÉE FELTZ: Not telling us, and don't seem to have any plan.
AMY GOODMAN: And the end of that story of the USS St. Louis, the Jews turned back by the United States during World War II.
LAURA GOTTESDIENER: More than 200 of the Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
AMY GOODMAN: And that does it for our show.

Warren is a Instagram Strategist who maximizes the community building power of Instagram. Specializing in social communities, he's optimized the engagement of entrepreneurs, small businesses, startups, agencies, & non-profits.
If you're interested in vanity metrics do not book the call.
Warren's community has celebrity followers such as Michael B. Jordan, Erika Jayne, etc. As well as collaborated with influencers such as Grant Cardone, Ellen DeGeneres, book publishers, and various advertising agencies.
Maintaining authenticity and trust when diving into influencer campaigns and sponsorship is a must. How you approach and guide talent is crucial to the effectiveness of your campaign. Whether your a brand or personality, I can help you navigate and establish a standard operating procedure for making the process a win/win.
I know how to utilize various platforms outside of instagram to streamline processes of lead generation and engagement-- If your making a buying decision as a small business owner, company, or entrepreneur, give me a call and let's talk options for instagram.
I've worked as an influencer and strategist with Fashion brands such as Todd Snyder, Uniqulo, TVR Optical, and GQ. I've consulted with platform speakers, authors, and small businesses on how exactly to build a community of engaged fans, not just follower counts.
How do I grow some balls and execute a business startup?
I would question whether your doing it for yourself or not. I think a lot of times we hold silent resentments towards the things that are expected of us. This question has to do with value, self-esteem, and confidence-- it's not in the business arena yet.
What to do when your coaching client decides to offer coaching package to others that is similar to your coaching package with that client?
It's a short answer- that's not your money.
I want people to rip me off-- I feel strongly enough that I can go back into the lab and create!
Wish them well & focus on deliberate creation.
What are the best practices in growing an online business on Instagram?
Case Studies & Social Proof of the results you are getting for people & how at the end of the day they are converting for the customer. "Followers" is a vanity metric that not many business owners care about-- they care about conversions.
When it comes to SEO, how do you attract people to your site when you're introducing a new (aka not-searched) topic?
If your doing something fitness related I would create an Instagram account. Provide specific practical tips/ how to information- information that would get your ideal client a result without needing you- you'll be able to curate a feed and look book that makes sense to your target customer -- then start engaging with hashtags and keywords that are being used them. So much more traffic you can attract from a platform that has 600 million users than worrying about SEO on a daily basis.
What's the best way to generate leads on Instagram for local business?
Set up and optimize the profile with a lead gen in the bio/ post content with practical tips/ how to's / entertaining and educating videos - make that content visible to their target demo through relevant hashtags/ consider partnering with chamber etc-- optimize posts for engagement by asking questions and using Instagram stories to preview content on main page - engagement and auto liking content comes way after-- I think of Instagram as a party... bots as promoters-- if the content strategy isn't in place the bots can promote and spam all they want... the like to follow ratio will still be awful.
What are the components of a risk assessment for a social media campaign that I should be able to define?
Since Instagram launched the archive feature- any trolling as it relates to this platform can be easily moderated. Simply (temporarily) archive the piece of content and moderate comments (block users) and un-archive the content. As far as people trolling the # in which your promoting your campaign-unless the content violates community guidelines there isn't much you can do- I would say from experience- this doesn't as often as you'd think.
If I had more specifics about the campaign I could suggest more-- good luck!
On which platforms can I find a reputable Growth Hacker for hire?
Right here on clarity by reaching out via message, follwing the growth hacker hashtag paying attention to engagement rates on Twitter and Instagram. Would also look up variations of what growth hacking means at its core to widen your search for strategists who don't list themselves as self proclaimed growth hackers.
What are the best tools to use for growing social media reach?
I use audiense- would love to walk you through the platform- the trial is amazing and customer service is 10/10.
I have hustle and motivation to find a job, but every time I get a job I lose it due to anxiety. What is your advice?
I'm launching a new line for women clothing, and I would like to understand more about instagram marketing. What is the best way to engage users?
Instagram is my JAM-- it's a powerful platform in and of itself- understanding instagram places with be paramount to your success-- depending on the demographic of your audience you can really dial into competitors to build brand awareness... While working and in close connection with with brands such as @TVROPT, @CharlieByMZ, and Uniqlo... these brands heavily use influencer marketing. (for an amazing article on this concept https://blog.kissmetrics.com/guide-to-influencer-targeting/ ) You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for influencers-- and influencer don't have to have industry clout.. they could be the trendsetters of high school etc-- and their are ways of finding these local people on instagram.
What are the best practices in generating millions of likes on a Facebook Page?
Distribution & Syndication is the name of the game...Most aren't aware that when your content is shared & liked by those not following your page, you are then given the opportunity to manually invite them to your page.
If you can find a collection of niche groups within facebook & share the content that speaks directly to them- you can jumpstart the engagement that could lead to lots more engagement.
Of course there is a lot more ways to distribute-- but i've found this one the most effective.
Super helpful, great advice, recommend highly.
Warren is the man! A really lovely, productive chat that has me fired up and excited to move forward. Thanks for the great insight.
Warren came to the call prepared, he researched my IG profile and was ready with actionable feedback.
Very proactive, well-prepared and emailed a great follow up afterwards. Great as getting as much out of the time as possible.
Our time spent with Warren was valuable and chalked full of "a-ha moments". I'd recommend for expertise and the quality of the material discuss and the excellent experience Clarity offers.
Warren & I jumped on the phone to create a social media plan. He really loves to know who his clients are & their vision. This came in handy when we talked because he was prepared with step by step information on how to get started. We used screen share since I'm a visual learner and knew trying to find new things would be like trying to find waldo. After filling up pages in notes Warren sent me a follow up email with an implementation plan. Within a week I've already seen incredible results.
I learn so much from Warren! He has an amazing gift!
Warren's way of doing things has always managed to impress me, based on the experience he's had with a wide arrange of clients, he provides priceless advice you couldn't get anywhere else. It's a pleasure to interact with such an inspiring person who is able to put together ideas and realistic-ambitious goals, and this to me is the whole point of collaboration. Do yourself a favor and book a call with him soon, to start seeing positive changes in your life.

Tether is gaining momentum against competing stablecoins | by heidi
Paolo Ardoino, the chief technology officer of Tether and Bitfinex, is confident that Tether will preserve its status as the most used stablecoin, despite the rapid growth of competitors such as USD Coin (USDC).
"If you see the volumes of Tether compared to the rest of stablecoins, they are insanely higher. They are even 10 times higher on a bad day," he pointed out.
According to a report from Arcane Research, USDC, the second-largest stablecoin, has been growing at an impressive rate over the last year and could soon overtake Tether in terms of market cap. Ardoino is not worried about this possibility and pointed out that USDC's growth has been slowing down in the last month.
"In the last 30 days, Tether regained momentum," he said.
According to Ardoino, one of Tether's main competitive advantages is its focus on people that have difficulties accessing financial services.
"Tether is really perceived as an instrument of freedom, a solution, a tool that helps everyone. It's not a tool built for the banks, it's not a tool made for Wall Street."
While USDC has gained a reputation of being more transparent and better regulated than Tether, Ardoino considers this a false narrative. As pointed out by the chief technology officer, since January 2021, Tether has been publishing breakdowns of its reserves, including the rating of its commercial papers.
"I think that we, as Tether, in terms of transparency, we're in a really good shape," Ardoino argued.
The rapid development of central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, won't make stablecoins such as Tether irrelevant, according to Ardoino. In his opnion, CBDCs will likely run on centralized blockchains that won't allow the same flexibility as open, public blockchains.
"One of the things that excite people about public blockchains is the programmability. You can build more complex behaviors.", he said.

The Nobel Prize Sydney Brenner has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and he is telling us about his scientific career.

Sydney Brenner, born in South Africa 87 years ago, was one of the first scientists to see the original model Watson and Crick made of the DNA double helix. Since then he has made many seminal discoveries in development, genetics and molecular biology – a field he pretty much helped create. He won the Nobel Prize in 2002 for establishing the worm C. elegans as a model organism for studying development, and for his subsequent description of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Brenner was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) last April, in a ceremony held in the Biomedical Research Park of Barcelona (PRBB) Auditorium.
Sydney Brenner in a ceremony held in the PRBB Auditorium, in which he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF).
Why did you become interested in biology?
I was once interviewed in Japan together with an engineer and we were asked how we got into our respective fields. He said as a kid he used to take radios apart and then build them again, and that sparked his interest in electronics. I said as a kid I used to dissect frogs but then I wasn't able to put them back together… so I decided to learn how organisms are formed!
Which has been the most satisfying moment of your career?
The most satisfying time has been each discovery, the moment when you are the only person who knows that new thing.
The last 87 years! Seriously, research, and life, is difficult. But it can be overcomed. You just need to have the capacity to look for a solution, a way out.
Yes, becoming the director of an institution! When you are a director you are like a window, people above you go through you to talk to people below, you are an intermediary, and that's terrible. The best thing is to be able to work on your own thing.
You need to have two different characters. You have to be open, creative, constantly questioning and having ideas. But you also have to be able to do the work, go on a straight line through walls, if need be, to get where you want. Few scientists have both characteristics.
What has changed in research in the last 50 years?
As I wrote in a recent obituary of Fred Sanger, someone like him – twice a Nobel Prize laureate – would not have survived in today's research environment, because he didn't publish much. Nowadays everyone is assessed in the short term and your publications track record is the most important thing anyone checks, which is terrible. Another big difference is funding: funders are becoming more conservative all the time, they don't want to risk anything, and that means that new things in science are dying. At the time my colleagues and I made most of our discoveries in Cambridge, people thought our theories were crazy, but we were lucky enough to have support from the LMB-MRC to prove them wrong.
What should the role of science in society be?
Scientists know how to solve problems – unlike politicians! Science is an attitude. It's taking decisions based on evidence. Obviously not everyone can learn the details of science but I think everyone should know the scientific method.
Any advice for young researchers?
I don't like to give advice, but I'd tell them, enjoy your independence as an individual and have confidence in yourself.
Here you can see Sydney Brenner's speech at the PRBB Auditorium, on receiving his honorary doctorate from the UPF.

Dortmund to head to China for Summer tour
The German giants are taking their talents to the far-east.

Borussia Dortmund will travel to China this summer to play a series of friendlies against Manchester United and Manchester City as part of the 2016 International Champions Cup China.
On July 22nd BVB will face Manchester United in a match at the Shanghai Stadium. Thomas Tuchel and his players will then face the other club from Manchester, City, in a game on July 28th in Shenzhen. The Manchester City game will have a few added story lines as it will feature Pep Guardiola managing against a German team only a few weeks after his departure from Bayern Munich.

Last summer saw Dortmund go to Asia to play matches in Japan and Malaysia. China is the most populated country on the planet and represents an enormous possible fan base for teams to tap into. Although I'm sure many American fans were hoping for a pre-season tour of the United States.
This years UEFA Euro 2016 tournament will certainly affect the squad that travels to China. The Euros will take place in France from June 10th until July 10th. BVB players whose countries advance deep in the Euros will probably be given the chance to rest and recover instead of joining the squad on this trip to China.
Some Dortmund fans have reacted negatively to the news of this tour as they view it as a monetarily driven trip that could negatively affect the building up of fitness in the pre-season. How do you feel about BVB's trip to China this summer?

GETTING TO KNOW: Dancer Marlon Simms talks about the icons, pre-performance jitters, and his pop-culture faves
STRONG SUIT: "Going over the dance in my head is critical," says Simms, who counts Nettleford and Chevannes among his former mentors.
"I couldn't have asked for better opportunities in my life. The work that I do comes with huge responsibilities, and it's one that keeps me humbled to know that I was asked to do it," reflects Marlon Simms, enjoying a much-needed break inside the NDTC rehearsal studios, after wrapping a high-energy class with a group of teen girls doing the Edna Manley College summer school programme.
At 39, Simms is a man who wears many hats in the local dance world. In addition to being a faculty member at the School of Dance for the past 10 years, he's an acclaimed performer and choreographer, admired for his poise and intellect and, since 2013, the Associate Director of the National Dance Theatre Company of Jamaica. As the internationally renowned company embarks on his 2016 season, Simms invites us into his world, dishing on the principles and people that guide his life – and the culture picks he can't get enough of.
My favourite books and most memorable reads: "I have been a literature lover all my life, but I have a particular weakness for Caribbean novels. I enjoyed Earl Lovelace's The Wine of Astonishment and The Schoolmaster. I also like Chinua Achebe's books. And one of the most beautiful novels I've ever read is The Stones Cried Out, a modern-day story, by Japanese author Hikaru Okuizumi. Highly recommended."
The best films I ever saw: "The first instalment of The Matrix really opened by eyes, and the cinematography was amazing. The Sixth Sense was also appealing to me. I like when books become films, so The Devil Wears Prada is a favourite of mine. I think Meryl Streep played that character perfectly."
The icons and mentors who changed my life: "Dance has four – Bert Rose, Barry Moncrieffe, Clive Thompson and, of course, Rex Nettleford. And I worked closely with all of them, which was a huge honour. Before he died, Professor Barry Chevannes was one of the persons I spoke with about where I wanted to go academically. He was very helpful."
The musicians I'm always impressed by: "I do love Beres [Hammond] and those classic sounds of people like Dennis Brown. I like Raging Fyah as one of those emerging bands. I knew some of the members when they were at Edna [Manley College]. My stepfather used to listen to Percy Sledge and Gregory Isaacs all the time, so I grew up listening to them. And you can't leave out Bob Marley."
Before I go on stage: "I pace a lot. I get very nervous before a performance. I tend to call people for support (Laughs). I warm up and try to sweat it out. Going over the dance in my head is also critical. And I also love to do ab work before I go on stage."
Favourite Jamaican foods: "Grilled chicken, and stuff on the Island Grill menu. I'm there all the time. But I have a weakness for oxtail and curried goat. Any day."
How I spend my alone time: "I love Netflix. I have it on my phone. It's the only way I can escape. (Laughs).

Polite robot has social skills above some humans
JUDY LIN
PITTSBURGH -- A group of scientists who set out to build a robot with human social skills may have actually improved on humanity: Their creation courteously steps aside for people, smiles during conversation and politely asks directions.
The 6-foot robot, named GRACE, for Graduate Robot Attending Conference, will wander a symposium on artificial intelligence that begins this weekend, where it will demonstrate its good manners. It will try to sign in at the registration desk, find a conference room, give a speech and answer questions.
GRACE, a drum-shaped contraption with a digitally animated face that appears on a computer display, is the work of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and elsewhere.
GRACE is the only autonomous machine -- that is, one without remote controllers -- entered in the mobile robot challenge at the American Association of Artificial Intelligence's National meeting in Edmonton, Alberta.
Other robots will be attending -- some clad in tuxedos and serving hors d'oeuvres -- in an attempt to show off the latest machines that can move safely and naturally among people.
GRACE was designed by her principally male creators to be female. But in form, at least, she is not much of a woman.
It has no arms or legs. Instead, its barrel-shaped torso, sheathed with sonar panels and black plastic bumper guards, rolls on wheels. GRACE cannot handle stairs or escalators.
The robot's feminine attributes are limited to a voice that sounds like an automated telephone operator and a heart-shaped cartoon face with big blue eyes and high cheekbones. But the voice and lips are poorly synchronized, making GRACE look like a character in a poorly dubbed foreign film.
On Sunday, a team of nervous designers will watch as GRACE attempts the challenge.
The robot's laser and sonar components are supposed to sense distances and steer GRACE around people. Its camera vision system and speech recognition software are supposed to recognize humans' hand gestures and words.
And its artificial intelligence "brain" is supposed to gather all the information and tell the machine how to react.
Whether GRACE will accomplish all these things without a slip-up -- while acting, well, graceful -- is the question.
"This is so far the hardest thing I've ever done in my career," said Robotics engineer Bryn Wolfe, a 17-year industry veteran involved in the project. "That's why I'm so nervous about it."
Carnegie Mellon computer scientist Reid Simmons, coordinating the GRACE project with help from the Naval Research Laboratory, Swarthmore College, Northwestern University and defense contractor Metrica Inc., gave GRACE a 50 percent chance of completing all her tasks.
Simmons, who said the robot was made female because he believes women communicate better than men, solicited drama students to teach GRACE how to act like a human. It was a tough task.
"Just think of what a robot would have to do just to answer a question from a person in terms of speech recognition," said competition co-chair Holly Yanco. "Not only that, but people ask questions in different ways."
Ultimately, the Carnegie Mellon team hopes to teach GRACE to schmooze, by recognizing a person and asking questions.
"Whatever happens it'll be a step forward -- a good start for coming years," Simmons said of this weekend's competition.

Q: Buttons are not working using tabulator in VueJs Here, I have setup a table using tabulator in my VueJs project. I have followed the instructions for tabulator setup in VueJs from: http://tabulator.info/docs/4.1/frameworks#vue .I have added button like adding row and updating row but for some reason it is not working. I can see my button but it is not functioning.
Here is my code:
 <template>

    <v-btn color="green" @click="addRow">Add Row</v-btn>

</template>

A: It's not a great idea to use jQuery and Vue.js in the same UI. Don't do it if you can avoid it.
Your buttons are not attached to any functions or actions in the Vue way.
Just use an event bind on the buttons, attaching it to one of your methods, to control what it does, like:
<v-btn color="green" @click="addRow">Add Row</v-btn>

and then on your component methods:
methods: {
    addRow() {
        // add your row here
        this.location.addRow({})
    }
}

In light of the severe downturn, the viability of the master limited partnership model as well as valuations has faced significant challenge.
Compared to other sectors, master limited partnerships (MLPs) appear slightly expensive versus utilities (a surprise to us given the rally in utilities this year) but cheap versus exploration and production (E&Ps) firms and oilfield services (OFS) (again a bit of a surprise given our recent sector rally).
In view of the sharp MLP rally off the bottom of over 30%, we have 12 downgrades and one upgrade. We have downgraded Magellan Midstream Partners LP (ticker: MMP ), Oneok Partners LP ( OKS ), Columbia Pipeline Group ( CPGX ) to Underperform; downgraded Kinder Morgan ( KMI ), Enterprise Products Partners LP ( EPD ); downgraded Spectra Energy Partners LP ( SEP ) to Neutral; and upgraded Enable Midstream Partners LP ( ENBL ) to Outperform.
Our top picks are Genesis Energy LP ( GEL ), EQT Midstream Partners LP ( EQM ) and Tallgrass Energy Partners LP ( TEP ). Our best picks to position for an upside oil/gas price pivot are Cone Midstream Partners LP ( CNNX ), Archrock Partners LP ( APLP ), Enable Midstream and EnLink Midstream Partners LP ( ENLK ).
The accepted wisdom before the downturn was that the models were robust enough to withstand industry cycles and that pipeline and processing plant cash flows had a degree of insulation from the industry cycle due to the long-dated nature of fee-based contracts. But the prolonged downturn has challenged the robustness assumption on account of counterparty risks and contract-renegotiation risks.
Balance-sheet strength, liquidity and distribution coverage have become a more-important priority. Valuation assumptions have also been challenged. The dividend-discount model (DDM) valuation model has less viability as a valuation tool if the distributions are subject to disruption as does yield spread analysis. Valuation models such as enterprise valuation/earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EV/Ebitda) and price/discounted cash flow (P/DCF) showing relative indifference to distribution policy are being resurrected as a way to look at the sector.
We believe that the customary assumption of MLP industry yields around 6% will be a long time before being revisited owing to the stronger coverage, thicker equity requirements needed to withstand cycles of the future. Management teams that have already positioned for this have seen their equity hold up a lot better during this current cycle.
A look at the history reveals a stronger correlation between multiples and the price of oil than most or at least we previously cared to admit and helps give us insight into the "right" yield or yield spread (about 6.5% yield at $60- to $70-a-barrel oil, and 5.5% to 6% yield at $80-a-barrel oil), the "correct" EV/Ebitda multiple (about 12-13 times at $90- to $100-a-barrel oil and about 10 times at $30- to $40-a-barrel oil though clearly neither condition is sustainable) and suggests that the number of periods where EV/Ebitda multiples are below 9.5 times are very few and the "correct" P/DCF multiple (over 15 times at $90- to $100-a-barrel oil and about 11 times at $30- to $40-a-barrel oil).

There's No Place Like Holmes
Posted by Heather in Literature, Sherlock Holmes
always 1895, bbc sherlock, benedict cumberbatch, legend and myth, sherlock holmes
"The air of London is sweeter for my presence." ~Holmes, The Final Problem
Back in May, I found myself glued to my TV for the season finale of BBC's magnificent modernization of Sherlock Holmes. My fellow Vicky A and I texted frantically back and forth during "The Reichenbach Fall", the 'buzz-uzz' of which occasionally sent me flying off the couch in surprise as it interrupted my enrapt attention to the drama proceeding across my screen. We bounced from scene to scene, notes flying about regarding this bit of minutiae or that bit of genius plot. I remember sitting on the couch towards the very end of the episode, blubbering to my husband that "OMG he HAS to be watching from afar, he HAS to be watching from afar BAWWWWWWWWWW THERE HE IS" and then shamelessly dissolving into ugly sobs. I know I wasn't the only one: previews of this finale described it as "utterly heartbreaking". Why does Holmes still affect us so deeply to this day? Why does Holmes matter?
It is difficult to approach this question scientifically as he would want us to do. How do you quantify or measure the popularity of a thing such as this or translate mere popularity into legend? We can measure Conan Doyle's success thusly: the Holmes stories have been translated into more than 60 languages and Holmes himself is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most portrayed character on the large or small screen (254 times by 75 different actors, beginning in 1900 with a 30-second silent film called Sherlock Holmes, Baffled). Holmes is also one of the top downloaded books in Project Gutenberg. This phenomenon has given rise to hundreds of Sherlockian societies worldwide and countless continuing scholarship. It has also been turned into a tool (HOLMES 2 (Home Office Large Major Enquiry System) ) used by the UK Police force to track major case incidents and to provide inter-unit compatibility across the police forces of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, as well as the Royal Military Police.
Not every great work of literature becomes legend. Holmes and his beloved Watson are regarded as real life figures to be studied, revered, and emulated. We can visit their home at 221b Baker Street in London today and wonder where they got off to in such a hurry without even putting away their toast trays. People sent death threats to Conan Doyle unless he brought Holmes back from beyond the grave and thankfully, he obliged; for 125 years and counting (another TV series, Elementary, featuring a female version of Watson, debuted on ABC this fall), his legacy has endured.
One can't call the recent success of BBC's Sherlock or the Robert Downey, Jr./Jude Law movie blockbusters a revival because Holmes never faded away. Again, we have to ask and wonder why. What has made him such an integral part of the English literary landscape and its national heritage? Is it his industrious spirit? His utterly modern sensibilities? His technological savoir-faire?
Perhaps it is his thoroughly modern genius that elevates him to superhero status in our eyes: his cold dedication to his art, usually in remittance of his fees, is the embodiment of the concept "art for art's sake" made popular by Théophile Gautier. For all his quirks, he is a representative of the English enterprising spirit. With his loyal friend Dr. Watson by his side, the shining emblem of the kind doctor, the valorous soldier, the chivalrous knight with his trusty gun ready to defend honor, Queen, and country, they run off to defend humanity from the worst kind of villain. Between the two of them are England's past, present, and future: Watson embodying the stalwart, traditional morals of England's heroic and mythical past, to its modern, empowered future in the brilliant mind of Holmes.
First and foremost, the Holmes stories show us that vast, and occasionally highly specialized, knowledge is power. Self defense, chemistry, soil composition, and topography all matter as does an intimate knowledge of the city and its surroundings. We see that, 99% of the time, problems can, and should, be solved through hard mental work and by only working with facts, not suppositions, assumptions, or prejudices. Like the Dark Knight Detective Bruce Wayne, Holmes uses his intellect (and some good-old fashioned boxing) over supernatural means, making him a hero we can identify with. He set the standard for cleverness, and reinforces the knowledge that in fact, smart is the new sexy.
His mind (and Watson) are all he needs to solve the world's problems. The problem itself – and the mental act of solving it – is his true reward, not money or even fame. More often than not, he allows the local police force to take the credit for his brilliance, revealing a sense of kindness and a willingness to preserve the reputation of the local constabulary. That money does not matter to him is another point of admiration; wealth cannot and does not influence him. He therefore cannot be bought and will spend his attention on someone poor as long as their case appeals to him, while a priceless blue carbuncle is casually chucked in the back of his desk drawer, likely never to be seen or cared about again.
His methods are also of a social importance. We appreciate the thought of a non-government agent working on our behalf – an Everyman there to turn to when the police fail or refuse to provide aid. His use of the poor as a network – his Baker Street Irregulars – in return for various forms of compensation or employment, works as a kind of enfranchisement for a faceless society. Throughout the stories, Holmes stands out as one of the few individuals who acknowledged and valued the existence of the London poor.
What we are left with is a super-heroic, Victorian Renaissance man with great power, intellect, and skill but still full of honor and integrity. Holmes remains relevant because the importance of intellect, of knowledge, of the bonds of friendship, and the thrill of adventure will never die. Holmes and Watson are Knights of the Victorian era, romanticized and immortalized as legend but also serving as real figures of historical interest wholly representative of the ideals and values of that time. Few will argue that, in our adoration and reverence, much like the Velveteen Rabbit, they too have become real and have found everlasting life.
Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and so can never die:
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game's afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears–
Only those things the heart believes are true.
A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.
– Vincent Starrett

I don't know about other people, but I love him because he can do things I cannot, or am admittedly too lazy to learn.
He's perfectly flawed.
I find that I do not care if he's a prick, gets smashed, makes mistakes, kills small children, whatever as long as he's brilliant.
His nasty side just voices my general thoughts about people anyway.
Same reason I like Hugh Laurie in House. He's intolerant, but super squishy wayyy down deep where only microscopes go. Just the other day I caught an episode that showed the character House's driver's license – guess what his home address is?
221 B Baker St.
I'd never connected the two characters until then. Duh.
See? Toldja. I'm not fit for all that thinkin' stuff.

Q: LibGDX Problems with textures in 1st launch after installing I have a problem with my android app created with LibGDX. After 1st launch part of textures in game just disappear and only after relaunch (not hide and reopen) all works fine. It happens only 1 time currently after 1st launch after installing. If installing on installed app, all works fine.
I use atlas for textures, it is 2048x2048. In project I use AssetLoader class with static objects. I saw some tips, that problem may be with static, but then why part of textures normally load?
If somebody had this kind of problem give an advice.

A: This is called context loss. Textures you load and create are unloaded automatically when you hide, and some of the context are lost between hide and reopen. Relaunching or killing active app after hide will destroy current JVM and when you open again it will be fresh launch and everything works fine.
To avoid this you can manually manage this situation by overriding pause() and resume() methods on ApplicationListener class (which is your main class extending ApplicationListener). You should unload/dispose assets on pause() and reload/create them on resume().
It's not the best but to give an idea you can see an implementation here in question's "EDIT:" part: LIBGDX White textures in the first run on android
But I strongly recommend to avoid static fields and use AssetManager class to load and get Textures, TextureAtlases and such other assets. And let it manage textures for you.
Take a look at: https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Managing-your-assets

A: I found the problem. It is not in AssetLoader ot Textures. When i load game objects, I also recreate data in phone resources, so when this data exists, all loads fine, but if it is 1st time and it needs to create this data on phone, it causes problems with loading resources. I just move "recreating data" to own function and now all work fine.

DA: Charges unlikely in Shirley pedestrian fatal
Dec 28, 2011 at 6:12 AM Dec 28, 2011 at 6:14 AM
SHIRLEY, Maine (AP) — Prosecutors say a driver who struck and killed a 67-year-old retired teacher out for his regular walk in Shirley earlier this month likely won't face charges.
Piscataquis County District Attorney R. Christopher Almy says the case is still being investigated but he does not think charges are warranted.
Norman Pelletier was struck and killed on Dec. 17 by a vehicle operated by John Ponkala. Pelletier was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities tell the Bangor Daily News http://bit.ly/up5IBp that Ponkala fell asleep at the wheel as he and his two passengers were returning from a shopping trip. Neither speed nor alcohol was a factor.
Pelletier was a Vietnam veteran who taught and coached at schools in the Greenville area for 35 years before retiring in 2004.

2016 saw the dawn of a new era, and unsurprisingly on the men's side it continued; Maggie were very fast. Clare bumped up two (Pembroke; Caius, still looking nice but under powered) but couldn't touch Maggie despite having two attempts. Saturday saw LMBC two cementing their place in div 1 just opposite the John's beer crowd, pretty well where their M1 got headship last year. Christ's got blades and a welcome return to M1.
On the women's side Downing got spoons, falling to Caius on Wednesday who had their day in the sun before falling to Jesus on Friday, who rowed over head on Saturday.
Wednesday: M1, W1, M2 (to come; Sidney / Pembroke re-row).
(but I get it more-or-less to myself 300+ commutes of the year, so I'm not really complaining).
Love the chaos pic, reminds me of head of the charles. We're having the first Interior Alaska regatta this weekend and it's probably been a decade since I've been in a shell, wish us luck at least the water is warm this time of year.

Historical Marker #1765 in Walton commemorates the Abner Gaines House, which was used as an inn and stagecoach stop on the first stagecoach line that ran between Cincinnati and Lexington.
A member of the prominent Gaines family, Abner Gaines (b. 1766) purchased property in southern Boone County from Archibald Reid in ca.1813. He continued to operate a tavern and inn built by Reid in ca. 1795. Gaines built a striking new house in ca. 1814, which is preserved today as the Gaines Tavern History Center. This Federal style house has 3 stairways and 10 carved mantels. Gaines also became the proprietor of the first stagecoach line that carried mail and passengers between Cincinnati and Lexington; a thirty-four hour trip in 1818. Gaines was a Boone County Justice from 1805 to 1817, at which time he was appointed Sheriff.
Abner and his wife Elizabeth (Matthews) had 13 children; several of them experienced some notoriety in various areas of the United States. Abner's oldest son, James Matthews Gaines, became the first postmaster for the community referred to as Gaines Cross Roads, now Walton, in 1815. Woodford Gaines became a paymaster in the regular army and spent time at Fort Smith, Arkansas. President Andrew Jackson appointed Richard Gaines U.S. District Attorney of Mississippi. Legrand Gaines became a wealthy cotton farmer in New Orleans. Benjamin Gaines owned extensive plantations in Chicot County, Arkansas. William H. Gaines made a successful claim for a large portion of Hot Springs, Arkansas. Major John Pollard Gaines was a soldier and a statesman. He was also the original owner of the Maplewood Farm, along with Margaret Garner and her family, before he sold to his brother, Archibald, and moved to the Oregon Territory to assume his position as governor. Archibald K. Gaines was the infamous owner of Margaret Garner when she escaped and was later tried for murdering her child, as well as the alleged father of at least three of her children.

When you discuss each process in detail, you will reveal things for which there is no instant solution that fully satisfies everyone involved. Perhaps you do not agree on what the process should look like or maybe the software capabilities are insufficient. Anyway; it is always better to discover this at the very beginning than during the implementation. Now you can still work on the process flow, come up with a workaround or customize the software. This way you prevent unnecessarily delay later in the project.
Internally, your key users in the ERP project are the experts when it comes to the processes in your organization. The consultants of your software partner are the experts on the other side of the table. By putting them together in one room you bring together a huge amount of knowledge and you will make the best decisions regarding your processes and how to automate them. Your key users know the processes well and especially know where they want to improve. The consultants can use their experience and expertise to advise how the processes can be done faster and more efficiently. After all, you do not want a copy of what you have now, but move a step - or more steps - forward.
In fact, the diagnosis is your first step of the implementation. It is not an extra session that makes the project more expensive, but it is a session that lays the foundation for a smooth and successful implementation. By performing a thorough diagnosis, you get in an early stage an overview of the work in the project and any possible difficulties/obstacles. You can anticipate immediately, saving you time and money. Everyone knows the horror stories of software implementations that get out of hand, projects that go far over budget or never get to a go-live. This is often due to poor preparation. By knowing exactly what you are going to do together before you start, you save yourself this misery.
With an ERP diagnosis you do not eliminate all discussions and do not tackle all problems. An ERP implementation is comprehensive and has a big impact. So without a question you will run into issues that you had not foreseen. And that will lead to heavy discussions and/or difficult decisions. However, by starting with a diagnosis you already solve a lot of issues and the implementation becomes a lot easier.

A World Without #Beethoven? (Music Documentary with Sarah Willis)
"What would the world be like without Beethoven?" That's the provocative question posed by this music documentary from Deutsche Welle. To answer it, the film explores how Ludwig van Beethoven's innovations continue to have an impact far beyond the boundaries of classical music, 250 years after his birth. What would be missing from jazz or from film music, for example, if Beethoven had never created his many innovations? Would the concert business exist as we know it today? And how has it changed the role of the artist? Sarah Willis, horn player with the Berlin Philharmonic, sets out on an entertaining and informative journey in search of answers. She meets people from around the world – musicians, managers and even politicians – to follow the traces of Beethoven's influence. Sarah's journey begins with the most famous four notes of classical music and their immense influence on pop music. "It all started with Beethoven," says Scorpions guitarist Rudolf Schenker about the preeminent role the composer's influence has played in the development of the rock riff. Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull) speculates: "Maybe he just spilled his coffee and it happened to become 'Da-da-da-dum.'" Jazz trumpeter and Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis explains what Beethoven's last string quartet (No. 16, Op. 135) has to do with the rhythm of jazz. "Star Wars" film composer and multiple Oscar winner John Williams praises Beethoven as the master of sounds that create images. And pianist and composer Gabriela Montero adds, "His music is valid at all times." CHAPTER (00:01:42) No Rock Riffs Without Beethoven? (00:13:13) No Concert Business Without Beethoven?

Through gilets jaunes, strikes and Covid, Paris's 400-year-old book stalls fight to survive »


Gencon 2012. Now I have a reason to snoop around the Wizards booth. FR to be supported, not surprised, that's a smart move. If they do indeed find a way to support all editions this could bode very well for fans of other settings like Greyhawk for me. Good analysis!
One thing that sticks out is how they are imitating Paizo and how they handled playtesting. I say this not because I am a pathfinder fan (never really played it) but rather this could be the first step for Wizards not being the leader of the industry but rather just another company copying those that striving forward. On the other hand, nice to see them doing something different and maybe learned from their mistakes.
@mortellan I can imagine that's one of the things Wizards want to do - include a lot of the classic settings. Wish I could make Gencon though!
My interest in D&D (which has been in intensive care, on life support, since 4e came out) started towards revival/resuscitation with the news that Monte Cook was coming back on board. It's going to take more than that before it's healthy enough to take off on its own, though. Hasbro's managed to do a lot of damage as far as I'm concerned - they've got a great deal to make up for. Time will tell.
If its a grid based game I won't play it. I haven't enjoyed D&D since 3rd ed came out. That said somehow I've been suckered into game after game of 3rd, 3.5, 4e and finally pathfinder ... never been as much fun for me and about two months ago I finally just called it quits. So if there is a "turn off the grid" option I'm in, otherwise my days of any D&D are probably behind me.
Having bought 2E, 3E, 3.5E and a few books from 4E I can honestly say that, unless 5E is something extremely groundbreaking that I have no intention of purchasing any of the books - think i'll stick with Pathfinder (a system that actually allows me to use most, if not all, of the money i've already spent on numerous D&D supplements).
Wizards/Hasbro has already betrayed formerly loyal D&D players. They have shown me that they only care about money, nothing more.
Granted, they are a business and a business needs to care about money. However, they should care first about their customers being happy, then the money will follow if the business does a good job.
I don't trust Hasbro/Wizards any more. They lost their way and my trust. I will take a wait and see approach. I suspect that many gamers will do the same. I will not rush out and buy a bunch of books like I did with 4th edition, just to be burned. They took my money like that once before. NOT AGAIN!
I will wait at least four years after 5th edition comes out, read reviews, and flip through books in the book store before I spend one penny.
Wizards/Hasbro has a long difficult road ahead of them. It will not be easy to get me back.
I have already lost all respect for Wizards (back when 4th edition was released).
I'm happy with Pathfinder and that's where I'm staying.

Q: Passing user input data from html to php page and showing the content back to html page without reloading I have a text box which takes URL as a input from user and on submission I want this URL to pass onto PHP page where I can make use of this URL. After all the processing in the php page, I want to show data on the same html page where user entered the URL.

A: You can access user-provided variables through the $_REQUEST array in PHP.
Depending on how you passed the variable (POST or GET request), you can use also $_GET and $_POST variables.
To show what's inside them you can use print_r function.
Note that $_REQUEST will also read user cookies, if there are any.

A: HTML:
<form method="POST" action="yourPHPPage.php">
<input type="text" name="url"/>
<input type="submit" value="send"/>
</form>

PHP :
<?php
$url=$_POST['url'];
echo $url;
?>

Hope it will help you.

A: You could have found this out with little efforts. But here's the basic version:
your form:
<form action="action.php" method="post">

Link: <input type="text" name="link" />

<input type="submit" />

</form>

action.php:
<?php
$link = $_POST['link'];
echo $link;
?>

Check the documentation on creating forms here.
Hope this helps!

A: To pass variable to php site you need to use one of 2 solutions.

*

*Ajax I'd recommend Jquery - this solution passes variable without page reload.

*The other solution is to use form tag.
Code:
<form method="POST" action="test.php">
    <input type="text" value="value of variable" name="testname" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit me" />
</form>

This will pass variable via POST method and it can be accessed in test.php
<?php echo $_POST['testname']; ?>
<form method="GET" action="test.php">
   <input type="text" value="value of variable" name="testname" />
   <input type="submit" value="submit me" />
</form>

This will pass variable via POST method and it can be accessed in test.php
<?php echo $_GET['testname']; ?>
with get variable may be also passed via url
test.php?testname=valueofvariable it can be accessed with
<?php echo $_GET['testname']; ?>
I don't recommend $_REQUEST because it handles 3 types of requests which is get, post and cookie and it may cause hard to find errors unless you check what type of request you have via $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']
