We know that many customers have been requesting a dimmable full spectrum bulb. After a great deal of development work and testing we are delighted to offer the Androv dimmable daylight bulbs to the market. We think these could be the first in Europe!!
Our daylight bulbs have a colour Temperature equivalent to Noon daylight, use 75% less energy then standard bulbs, produce excellent colour rendering and contrast for reading.
Energy Savings: Assuming 8p per unit, over 10,000 hours the 25W uses 250KW costing approx £20. A 75W ordinary bulb would use 750KW costing £60 over the same period. The saving in electricity cost would therefore be £40. So you can save money and have dimmable full spectrum lighting in your home!!
Until 150 years ago most people worked outdoors, and obtained enough natural sunlight every day of the year. Windows filter out many parts of the light spectrum. Professor Dr. Fritz Hollwich, Director of the University Eye Hopsital in Munster, discovered that only around 25% of the light absorbed by our eyes is used directly for vision, the other 75% travels via the optic pathways to the brain and hypothalamus - the body's chief control system. This controls the nervous system and endocrine system, affecting amongs other things our glandular and hormone system.
Irradiation with sunlight increases the number of white blood cells, most of the lymphocytes, causing an upsurge in the defences against infectious diseases. It also stimulates the formation of Interferon, thereby preventing viruses from proliferating. Our bodies need clear information about day and night in order to regulate our waking and sleeping phases and the biorhythms associated with this. When it is dark more melatonin is produced, which signals to the body that it is time to sleep. On the other hand bright full-spectrum light suppresses the production of melatonin. If parts of the light spectrum are missing, the body can enter a twilight state, comatose, neither fully awake nor asleep. To summarise the human body has developed over millions of years with daily exposure to natural sunlight. Working indoors has removed much of this natural resource from our lives, but it can be closely replicated with full spectrum bulbs.
Will they work with my dimmer switch at the home/office?
We have extensively tested this product, and developed it to work with a wide range of electronic and resistor dimmer switches. We do however think that the modern "electronic" dimmer switches are much better because they are more energy efficient, produce almost no heat, and no sound. It is impossible for us to test these units with every dimmer switch on the world market, so if for any reason they do not work for you - please just return to us within 30 days for a full refund.

The Climate Change Narrative
Collide-a-ScapeBy Keith KloorFeb 1, 2010 9:31 PM
In 2008, it was shaped by Copenhagen and the proposed U.S. congressional cap & trade legislation. That makes sense, since major political events (especially protracted ones) tend to propel narratives. (Ordinarily, climate science drives the global warming narrative, but 2008 was akin to a presidential election year for climate change.) Sure there were new public opinion polls and plenty of fresh, alarming scientific findings that fueled media coverage, but the master narrative flowed from the political dealmaking done in the U.S and on the international stage. The storyline in 2009 is shaping up to be something much different. Marc Morano can continue to insist that global warming is a hoax because of the hacked emails or the latest IPCC screwup, but no amount of screaming headlines on Climate Depot is going to alter the firm scientific consensus that anthropogenic global warming is real, or the minds of a majority of people who think it's real (if not an urgent problem). So there's still going to be a debate on how to curb greenhouse gases this year. The question is, will cap & trade remain a central theme? I'm guessing no if the U.S. climate bill gets put on the shelf with healthcare legislation. What does that mean for the next round of international talks in Mexico City? Remember, it's a given that a world treaty hinges on the U.S. passing a climate bill. So what happens if cap & trade is eliminated from congressional legislation, which seems increasingly likely? What if the whole bill is scuttled? What's the climate narrative then, leading up to Mexico City? How do you negotiate an international cap & trade mechanism with carbon reduction targets if the world's second largest emitter isn't on board? I thought that Mike Hulme laid out an intriguing scenario in this recent Nature piece. Hulme speaks to the growing sense that a clearer path emerged from the chaos of Copenhagen, one that
reflects a new political reality [where] politics and power will win out. My view is that this was a good outcome from Copenhagen. I think that people may well now see that there is more progress to be made by pursuing options outside of the formal structure of the UN.
Along these lines, Hulme said he would
like to see more radical thinking. Different climate forcing agents might be best attended to in different ways. One could have two separate treaties: one controlling short-lived agents such as black soot and methane, and one concerned solely with carbon dioxide.
So far so good. I can imagine climate advocates in the U.S signing up for that. But then Hulme suggests a mitigation strategy that would require a whole new institutional and political mindset:
I don't hold out a great deal of optimism that market-based mechanisms "" especially with [only] a proportion being auctioned "" provide a strong enough downward pressure on emissions. For that reason, I wouldn't mind too much if [the climate bill] doesn't get through the Senate if it forces other types of thinking. I've come around to the view that we need to set near-term targets that are pragmatic and technology-based, and they should be achievable on the basis of credible social, technical and economic analysis, not aspirational targets driven by IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] science. It's better to be pragmatic than to be overly aspirational; surely the lessons of the 12 years since Kyoto tell us that?
Now if this perspective catches on, we got ourselves a whole new climate narrative. UPDATE: Soon after writing this post, I recalled the news last year of Republican Senator Inhofe's concerns about black soot. Hulme raises the idea of a separate treaty on this noxious pollutant. Perhaps there is common ground between climate advocates and skeptics on black soot? UPDATE 2: David Roberts of Grist is becoming a true climate realist:
It's now fairly clear that the long-time environmentalist dream of having a binding international treaty that imposes ambition on participating countries is forlorn. The iron law of geopolitical relations is asserting itself here: countries will do what is in their own best interests based on their own circumstances ... and no more.

Q: KO Single page app. Async data calls randomly failing/not binding I've got a single screen with multiple dropdowns. Each get populated via a web api call.
I'm in an active directory environment. I'm using the Durandal SPA framework.

At the moment I do the loading of my dropdowns on the activate of my view. EG.
  activate: function (data) {
            var id = data.id || undefined;
            userRole(data.mode || 'usr');

            // i added this as i was thinking i dont need to initialize the "static" dropdowns every time
            // I'm testing my code without this as we speak.
            if (!hasBeenInit) {
                lookupInit(id);
                hasBeenInit = true;
            }
        },
   }

[A] It seems like randomly, depending on the amount of server load (I'm guessing) my dropdowns wont get populated..
[B] Some of the dropdowns are dependant on the value of another.
I've I've achieved this by making use of the knockout subscribe event. and updating my observable collections.
Javascript
userInfo.BuildingCode.subscribe(function (value) {
        vm.userInfo.FloorCode(undefined);
        http.get('api/Floor', { id: value }, false)
            .done(function (response) {
                console.log('api/Floor');
                vm.lookups.allFloors(response);
                console.log(vm.lookups.allFloors());
            });
    });

html
<select data-bind="options: lookups.allFloors, optionsText: 'FloorName', optionsValue: 'FloorCode', value: $root.userInfo.FloorCode"></select>

If I had to select the building value for example, the floor dropdown must get new values.
The API call does happens, it seems like the observable array gets updated, but the values don't seem to be reflecting on the view.
Chrome console log
api/Floor main-built.js:14
[Object, Object, Object]

api/Floor main-built.js:14
[Object, Object, Object]

api/Floor main-built.js:14
[Object, Object, Object, Object, Object]

What can i do to ensure my lookups/dropdowns get populated each and every call. As well as their execution order stays as specified.
I've tried something like this, but it just feels wrong. I've also added an async false overload to the  durandal http helper, but it didnt seem to work... any ideas? :\
   http.get('api/employmenttype')
            .done(function (response) {
                console.log('api/employmenttype');
                vm.lookups.allEmploymentTypes(response);
            })
            .then(function () {
                http.get('api/actionlist')
                    .done(function (response) {
                        console.log('api/actionlist');
                        vm.lookups.allActionListOptions(response);
                    })
                    .then(function () {  ... } );

UPDATE
I investigated my async call overload. Ended up being the culprit, once i fixed it, my data seemed to load constantly. The only side effect is that none of my server side data sets loads asynchronously. (Which i'm hoping I wont get crucified for).

A: Assuming that lookupInit is a async call make sure to return the promise. So activate becomes something along the line.
activate: function (data) {
    var id = data.id || undefined;
    userRole(data.mode || 'usr');

    // i added this as i was thinking i dont need to initialize the "static" dropdowns every time
    // I'm testing my code without this as we speak.
    if (!hasBeenInit) {
        hasBeenInit = true;
        return lookupInit(id);
    }
    return true;
},

I'm still digesting the other part(s) of the question, but thought that might get you started already.
Update: The value of vm.userInfo.FloorCode is reset to undefined, but in the select there's no optionsCaption: 'Please select...' defined. It might be that ko won't update the option values because is can't find a corresponded value.

T-Mobile Offers Free 4G Laptop Stick with Contract
By Melanie Pinola
T-Mobile's new 4G mobile broadband laptop stick, the T-Mobile Jet 2.0, can now be ordered for free (after a $49.99 instant discount and $50 mail-in rebate card), with a 2-year contract for mobile broadband service. The device, which plugs into a USB port on your PC or Mac laptop, delivers high-speed HSPA+ 4G Internet access.
With the news of AT&T's planned acquisition of T-Mobile, you might be wondering if buying a new T-Mobile product and signing a 2-year contract is a good idea. As PC World writer Tony Bradley previously pointed out, the acquisition is no cause for panic-it's likely more than a year away, and that's only if it goes over antitrust and other regulatory hurdles.
Most importantly, T-Mobile has continued to demonstrate its commitment to growing its 4G network, with the announcement Tuesday of doubling the network's theoretical download speed to 42 Mbps and the introduction of new 4G smartphones, the T-Mobile G2x and Sidekick 4G. In addition to the Jet 2.0 laptop stick, T-Mobile is also launching other 4G mobile broadband devices later this spring: the T-Mobile Rocket 3.0 (first device with 42 Mbps capability) and a prepaid T-Mobile Rocket 4G.
The T-Mobile Jet 2.0 is available now. It features Wi-Fi connection management and a microSD memory card slot so you can use the laptop stick for external storage as well as wireless Internet access (speeds up to 21Mbps). At the time of this writing, the Jet 2.0 was not listed under T-Mobile's Internet Devices category, but you can find it via search and add it to your cart from the product page. Monthly data plans start at $29.99 per month for 200MB.

I love my church. About three years ago, if you had asked me what I thought about church and I would have said I didn't care. Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't that I didn't understand that church was an important part of every believers life, it was that I had been hurt so many times by the people in the church.
We would ask people to come over and they would agree to but then something else would come up. A lot of the girls were part of a club but I and my sisters were never invited. No one had the time for us but I saw them making time for other people and that hurt. I was only twelve at the time and perhaps I saw some things and misunderstood them but I felt left out and that was painful.
When we started attending White Stone Family Bible Church, I could have cared less. Looking back now, I know that if it hadn't been for what happened next, I probably wouldn't be going to church. What happened you might ask? People took the time out of there lived to show they cared. They came over to our home and spent time with us, they let us know that they were praying for us when we went through hard times, and they said 'Hi Sarah,' on Sunday mornings, showing me that they knew me and cared. .
One of the things that the Christian homeschooling community has really messed up is that they get so wrapped up in all sorts of activities that they don't have time for people, yet making time for people and loving them is at the core of our Christian values.


A subcommittee of three state legislators in Iowa voted 2-1 Tuesday to advance a bill that would allow dairy operators in the state to sell unpasteurized milk direct to consumers.
Similar bills have not survived in the Iowa Legislature in recent years. This year the effort in the Iowa House was assigned to a subcommittee of the Local Government Committee.
The subcommittee vote Tuesday was along party lines, with Republicans Greg Heartsill, the sponsor, and Bobby Kaufmann in favor of it. Democrat Art Staed voted against advancing the measure.
Supporters say it's a matter of food freedom. They want to determine for themselves and their children whether they drink milk that has been pasteurized to kill bacteria, viruses and parasites. They contend so-called raw milk is more nutritious and safe.
Opponents — which include health care professionals and public health departments from local, state and federal levels — say it's too dangerous, especially for children because their immune systems are not fully developed. Immature immune systems and suppressed immune systems, such as those in elderly people, cancer patients and others, cannot successfully fight the E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter and other bacteria that is often present in unpasteurized milk, health officials advise.
The debate is being played out in legislative bodies across the country. Federal law prohibits the interstate sale of unpasteurized milk, but sales within a state are up to state lawmakers.
Most states prohibit all sales of unpasteurized, raw milk. Some allow farm-to-consumer sales, which is the route the Iowa bill sponsored by Republican Greg Heartsill is taking.
A few states allow herd-share sales. In those situations, consumers must buy a "share" in a dairy herd and in return for regular payments can receive raw milk. A small minority of states allow retail sales of raw milk, which makes it available in grocery stores and other locations.
The Iowa bill, HF2055, would require special warning labels on raw milk containers that dairies sell direct to consumers. The bill provides specific language for the labels and other requirements.
As of Tuesday night, the bill had not been further scheduled for consideration in the House.
Some lawmakers want it moved out of the Local Government Committee and assigned, instead, to the Agriculture Committee for the next phase. If enacted, the Iowa Department of Agriculture would have the responsibility for enforcing the new law.
As defined in the current version of the bill, violations would be misdemeanors, punishable by up to 30 days in jail and/or a fine of $65 to $650.

Deadlines Matter – Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Get Your Propositions on the Ballot
The General Election ballot includes 7 statewide propositions. Californians are used to voting on propositions. Some years have included many more than 7 to ponder. This year there could have been 10, but 3 propositions did not meet the Secretary of State's deadlines to qualify in time to be placed on the 2022 ballot. You may, or may not, see them in 2024.
The proponents of the propositions related to funding efforts to fight pandemics, to prevent employees from filing lawsuits related to labor law violations, and to raise the minimum wage, were understandably disappointed.
One proponent, Joe Sanberg, sued the Secretary of State to get the minimum wage proposition on the 2022 ballot. Sanberg's team collected enough signatures to qualify the proposition, but the counties did not finish validating signatures until after the deadline to get it placed on the 2022 ballot. The judge in the case sided with the Secretary of State's office saying that the proponents should have turned the signatures in earlier if they wanted to guarantee placement on the 2022 ballot.
Calpeek loves ballot propositions and believes the more the merrier, but we also believe in deadlines. If proponents find the qualification process complicated, we are happy to recommend campaign consultants to help them through the process.
Calpeek July 29, 2022

I have taught at Allegheny College since 1982 when my work as an artist focused on things other than considerations of how art can facilitate community, economic and environmental development, or how art can remediate landscapes and places, or transform people.
This all began to change in 1997 when I developed the Arts & Environment Initiative, an interdisciplinary arts-based program that provides Allegheny College art students apprenticeship training in the practices of community and environmental art. Through this program I bring my students and my community partners together to support collaborative public art projects that emphasize reuse, repurposing, environmental restoration and community revitalization. These projects often create opportunities for youth engagement through the arts, and so provide opportunities that transform both people and place.
I enjoy collaborating with diverse groups, and helping local partners reach consensus and realize public art projects that celebrate place and local assets. Some of my collaborators include the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, and the City of Meadville. I am at ease navigating the complexities of city governments and state agencies, and have found many amazing collaborators in these organizations as well as local businesses.

625 new coats donated to Cesar Chavez School
By Hannah Sievert | March 22, 2019 1:46pm
Students at Cesar Chavez line up for recess.
Media Credit: Hannah Sievert / The Beacon
Hear this story in podcast form:
At 12:45 p.m., Robin Cooper lets her second-grade class out to recess. The kids run, screaming and laughing, to the basketball court, the monkey bars, the slide. It's a cold day in February at Cesar Chavez School, a kindergarten through eighth grade school in North Portland. A few snowflakes drift down from a gray sky.
The second-graders barely notice the cold. Many of the kids are bundled in matching bright puffy coats that pop in color against the cement. Dark blue, lavender purple and bright pink streak across the playground.
Many students at Cesar Chavez used to have trouble going to recess on cold days like this. The school has many kids whose families can't afford coats, even though temperatures in Portland were frigid this past winter. Cesar Chavez is a Title I school, meaning that almost all of the students in the school come from low-income homes.
But the coat problem was solved, at least for this year, when UP senior Itzel Moreno-Vega applied for an Operation Warm grant in October to get a new coat for every Chavez student. And she got it. In early February, Operation Warm, a charity that produces and donates coats to low-income communities, gave 625 brand-new coats to the students at Cesar Chavez.
The coats allow the kids — including those who used to wear only sweatshirts outside or dig through the lost-and-found for extra layers — to play at recess without worrying if it's cold. For many of the students, this was the first time they received something that was brand-new and high-quality that they could call their own.
"I think it's the greatest thing I've ever seen," Cooper said. "I think it's the greatest thing I've ever seen for our community. I think what she did is remarkable."
Students play in their Operation Warm coats at recess.

Moreno-Vega first heard the story that motivated her to act from a parent. The social work major started working with Latino Network last September for a year of fieldwork required for graduating. Latino Network, a culturally-specific organization that focuses on empowering youth, had placed her at Chavez to work with parents.
In the fall, she met with a few parents to ask them what they felt their needs were and how the school could better support them. One parent told her a story that stuck with her.
The story was this: The parent knew of a few students who couldn't make it to two weeks of school last year because it was too cold outside and the students didn't have coats. The students couldn't make it to the bus stop and wait for their bus in 20-degree temperatures.
"After hearing that, I just thought, that's such an easy solution, a coat," Moreno-Vega said. "It's just a necessity."
Moreno-Vega started noticing that a lot of kids at Cesar Chavez didn't have coats at recess, even though the temperatures were dropping in Portland. Cooper agreed that she often had second-grade students who would go out to recess without a coat.
"I have kids that probably shouldn't have gone to recess because what they'd wear is just a sweatshirt. But they would still go," Cooper said. "But they probably shouldn't have. Or they would go to lost-and-found and try to wear something from lost-and-found, just to wear it out to recess."
In October, Moreno-Vega began researching organizations that could provide coats to kids in need. She decided to apply for Operation Warm's coat wish list because they manufacture coats in-house and the students would receive new coats, not second-hand ones. One of the questions the application asked was, "what would a coat mean to your community?"
"I answered that explaining that little things like a coat can really support a kid, can really make them feel like they're being valued and supported, especially if that coat can get them to school, can protect them from the cold at recess," Moreno-Vega said. "Especially a new coat. A lot of individuals in poverty don't get new things. Them being able to pick it out and pick out their right size, not something that's too big or too tight, that's really empowering. It can have a really positive effect later on."

Moreno-Vega didn't expect to receive the grant. The Operation Warm grants are competitive and the organization receives thousands of applications for the grants each year. Applying for such a large amount — 550 coats — made it seem to Moreno-Vega that receiving it would be impossible.
But on Jan. 11, Moreno-Vega got a call that Cesar Chavez had received the grant. The coats were delivered to the school and passed out on Feb. 1. The Portland Public School district filmed the day when teachers and school workers handed out the brightly-colored coats to the kids.
"I don't really know how to describe the moment other than there was just a lot of joy," Moreno-Vega said. "A lot of people were really happy about it. A lot of parents were really thankful and grateful."
Operation Warm sent 625 coats, which was 75 more than Moreno-Vega had asked for. Students could pick out the color and size they wanted, and the extras were given out to parents and younger children.
"People who don't need things so badly don't get that excited and gracious for it," Moreno-Vega said. "Kids were jumping up and down when I told them. It was a moment that really connected the community."
After the kids received the coats, Cooper said some students didn't take them off for the rest of the day.
"I have been in this community for 25 years and, yes, our kids have been given things but usually they're second-hand things," Cooper said. "This is one of the first times my whole class got a coat that they will wear, that they're proud of, that's brand new. They had the tags on them. They were so thrilled. They came back into the class and they wouldn't take them off."
A few of the coats from Operation Warm hanging in Robin Cooper's second grade classroom.
Liliana Gomez, a contract worker from Latino Network who works at Cesar Chavez, agreed that having something new was unusual for most of the students at Chavez. Gomez had seen coat drives done at the school in the past, but none of them were this big and they didn't include coats that were new. Getting a new coat, Gomez said, is empowering to kids who live in poverty.
"Being able to get something that's like a brand new coat as opposed to a used coat makes them feel like they matter as much as kids who get new coats," Gomez said.
Moreno-Vega received several emails from teachers and parents thanking her for what she did, but Moreno-Vega didn't see the grant as something beyond her job description. The grant was just another way to aid the community — not unlike how the teachers aid the community every day.
"Whenever they would thank me I'd thank them back because we're all working together for the same goal," she said.
Moreno-Vega grew up in St. John's, down the street from Cesar Chavez. While she didn't go to Chavez, she was thankful that the practicum program allowed her to give back to an area of Portland that she came from. As a first-generation student, Moreno-Vega always has the family members and community that helped her get to college in the back of her mind.
"I've always been like, 'what about all these people I left behind?' like my family members who didn't get these opportunities who are equally or more deserving," she said. "I've always felt this obligation and I'm very fortunate that through the practicum program I've felt like I'm fulfilling my obligation."
In the future, Moreno-Vega hopes to work in a type of social work that includes empowering youth or working with parents. Social work, Moreno-Vega admitted, is a tough job. It can be fulfilling, but can also be emotionally draining. This experience is a reminder that the work is worth it.
"The experience with the coats, that's just a moment that's going to continue to inspire me throughout my career," she said. "I feel like in this field there are so many lows and not many highs, unfortunately. I hope this inspires me and keeps me going."

Ell pleads not guilty to assault of Associate VP
by Madison Pfeifer
Assault victim told police former UP employee attacked him with baseball bat


Want love, love yourself first. Want respect, respect yourself first. Want to believe in something, believe in yourself first. Sow positive to reap positive.
Want to write. Write for you. Write from within your heart. Write what you know. Write about your (filled in the blank)_______________. If you like, we'll love it. If you love it, we'll like it. Words flow best in a peaceful and positive mood.
There will always be someone saying something thats really about nothing. (shock face) It's only an opinion. No idle words. No negative thoughts. No doubts. And most of all, no fear! (gritted teeth smile) Roll with it!


You don't get big in New York City without having to deal with those who cross you. When Donald Trump turned into a national politician, he apparently took that grit with him — and applied it to the "Never Trump" contingent within his own party.
At a presidential campaign-style rally in Ohio for Republican House candidate Troy Balderson, who's running in a special election on Tuesday, Trump boasted about how he "destroys" Republican candidates who try to take him down.
"How do you get 100 percent of anything? We always have somebody who says, 'I don't like Trump, I don't like our president, he destroyed my career,'" Trump told the audience Saturday in Lewis Center, Ohio.
"I only destroy their career because they said bad things about me, and you fight back and they go down the tubes, and that's OK," he added.
So, how has Trump been at "destroying" careers in the GOP?
There are a few names one could think of here. "Low Energy" Jeb Bush, who went from 2016 Republican frontrunner to 2016 has-been, comes to mind immediately. So do any number of members of the Republican presidential field.
Since he's been elected, we've seen Trump send the very establishment Rep. Mark Sanford back to the Appalachian Trail after the president tweeted his opposition to Sanford on the day of his primary election. The South Carolina Republican will instead be watching general election returns on Nov. 6 from somewhere other than his own victory party.
To the great people of West Virginia we have, together, a really great chance to keep making a big difference. Problem is, Don Blankenship, currently running for Senate, can't win the General Election in your State…No way! Remember Alabama. Vote Rep. Jenkins or A.G. Morrisey!
Blankenship, once ahead in the polls, lost the race rather handily to state Attorney General Patrick Morrissey. Of course, Blankenship didn't cross Trump in the traditional sense, but one could say that the president wasn't especially fond of either too-conspicuous flattery or someone riding his coattails.
Do you think Trump went too far here?
There are others, as The Hill points out, that have benefited from Trump's imprimatur. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp won over Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle in a recent race after getting a bump from the president.
The one that the president missed on was former Sen. Luther Strange, who was appointed to the Senate when former Sen. Jeff Sessions became attorney general. No matter how you feel about former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore and the allegations against him, a Strange victory in the primary stages would have almost certainly guaranteed the seat would have remained in GOP hands.
As for the putative horrors of Trump saying this at a campaign-style event, let's all please stop clutching our cruelty-free, lab-made pearls here. Politics is a barbarous contact sport where we expect participants to act as if they wouldn't hurt a fly even as they try to end each other's careers.
Trump's honesty is refreshing. For better or worse, it's an illuminating view into the actual psyche of a political figure. He's not threatening anyone physically. He's merely showing a bit of New York grit, something every politician needs in the arena. If that's not what you have the appetite for, perhaps politics isn't your thing.

Q: DB4o database DatabaseFileLockedException I would like to access the same db file from different programs in parallel. All programs are running on the same VM. Here is the code I use:
private ObjectContainer db;

public DatabaseManager(String dbName) {
    ObjectServer server = Db4oClientServer.openServer(Db4oClientServer
            .newServerConfiguration(), dbName, 0);
    try {
         db = server.openClient();

        // Do something with this client, or open more clients

    } catch(Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

When I run the second program I get DatabaseFileLockedException. How to use this db in parallel?

A: Only one db4o instance can access the database file at the same time. If you try to reopen it while a object container has it open you will get this DatabaseFileLockedException.
Within the same JVM instance you can open new session containers like this:
 ObjectContainer rootContainer = // the one you've opened the file with
 ObjectContainer session = rootContainer.ext().openSession()

With your code you also can use the .openClient() method to do the same. However you actually don't need the client server stuff as long as you're in the same JVM instance. You can use the stuff above with a regular embedded object container.
In case you need to access the same database from multiple databases, then you need a full blown client-server setup.

Just as with any other industry, higher education also requires innovation in order to grow and improve. It is also quite a competitive environment, which is why IT is usually the number one driver of innovation in the sector.
Those are the results of the latest Gartner research. The analysts have thus released a list of the top 10 strategic technologies recommended for higher education in 2016.
Adaptive Learning – it adjusts the way educational content is given to students, based on their responses.
Predictive Analytics – Through the use of large amounts of data, future behaviour or outcomes can be predicted.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – These systems have two objectives: automating student-centric busines processes and gathering data.
Open Microcredentials – Through microcredentials like badges and achievements, institutions can additionally motivate students.
Digital Assessment – Leveraging new technologies to create tests and reports.
Smart Machines - Smart machines can be used for analytics, student and faculty advice, as well as in improving research productivity.
Open educational resource (OER) Ecosystem – Educational content that's easy to find and free to access.
Listening and Sensing Technology – Through the monitoring of social media and similar platforms, analysis of sentiment can be made. Gartner says these tools are "at very low maturity levels" within educational institutions, but could be applied in various ways, including recruiting and enrolment.
Collaboration Technology – Although this is not a new trend, its importance in the way people work has increased.

Court-Martial Rape Conviction Overturned Due to Packed Jury
By Tom Knighton Feb 01, 2018 7:44 AM ET
No one wants a rapist going free, but no one's rights can be upheld without due process and the rule of law.
An enlisted Coast Guard man's 2012 rape conviction was recently thrown out by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. The seven person jury was packed with five women, and incredibly, four of them were professional advocates for victims of sexual assault. According to the Washington Times, Judge Margaret A. Ryan stated that the four admirals who put the court-martial's jury pool together produced an illegal "gender-based court stacking." She also suggested that what took place amounted to unlawful command influence.
This implies that an officer in command used rank to manipulate the trial. The five-judge panel was unanimous.
"[T]he error in this case is both so obvious and so egregious that it adversely affected not only Appellant's right to a fair trial by an impartial panel, but also the essential fairness and integrity of the military justice system," Judge Ryan stated.
The court further argued that the conviction would never have happened without this "gender-based court stacking." The evidence against the enlisted man was apparently so weak that one hearing officer recommended the charges be dropped. He was overruled by the admiral in charge.
It's not difficult to understand how this may have happened. There's been tremendous pressure on the military to crack down on such incidents among claims that sexual assault is rampant within the armed forces. It's not hard to imagine a commanding officer doing what he could to ensure a conviction.
If the victim was raped, she deserves to see justice. If the trial was weighted, there can be no justice.
Luckily, for this enlisted man, wiser heads eventually prevailed.

Over 1,100 candidates with criminal antecedents contested Bihar polls
Following a Supreme Court direction in February this year, the Election Commission had in March asked political parties to justify why they chose candidates with criminal history to contest elections
5:59 PM, 8 November, 2020 Updated 8:03 PM, 8 November, 2020

The third and final phase of Bihar assembly elections was completed on Saturday (November 7) and the fate of the candidates will be known on November 10. According to the data collated by the Election Commission of India (EC), over 1,100 candidates with criminal antecedents contested the polls.
As per EC's data, a total of 3,733 candidates were in the fray in Bihar including 371 women. A total of 1,157 candidates have criminal antecedents.
Following a Supreme Court direction in February this year, the Election Commission had in March asked political parties to justify why they chose candidates with criminal history to contest elections.

Assembly elections in Bihar were the first full-fledged polls where such details of their candidates were made public by parties.
In September, the EC had made the norms of publicity of criminal antecedents of candidates stringent by putting a timeline on when such advertisements should be published and broadcast during electioneering.
In October, 2018, the Commission had issued directions making it compulsory for candidates contesting elections and the parties fielding them to advertise their criminal antecedents in TV and newspapers at least three times during electioneering.
Related news: Nitish says Bihar polls will be his last
Now, the EC has made it clear that the first "publicity" of criminal records should be within first four days of the last date of withdrawal of candidature.
It said the second publicity should be between fifth and eighth day of the last date of withdrawal.
The third and final publicity should be from ninth day till the last day of campaign – two days prior to polling day.
"This timeline will help the voters in exercising their choices in more informed manner," a statement by the Commission had said. An EC official said the timeline would ensure that the advertisements attract the public eye. There was a feeling that candidates time the publicity of their criminal records in such a way that it fails to grab attention.
Earlier, a report by poll rights group Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) said over 1,200 candidates in the Bihar polls have declared criminal cases against themselves, with 115 of them accused in cases related to crimes against women and 73 candidates facing cases related to murder.
Out of the 3,722 Bihar assembly election candidates analysed, 1,201 (32%) candidates have declared criminal cases against themselves, the report said.
In the 2015 Bihar assembly elections, out of 3,450 candidates analysed, 1,038 (30%) had declared criminal cases against themselves, it added.
The report further said 915 (25%) candidates have declared serious criminal cases while in the previous Bihar assembly polls in 2015, 796 (23%) candidates had declared serious criminal cases against themselves.
Serious criminal cases are non-bailable offences attracting over five years of imprisonment, the report said.

Snow Joke Half Marathon turns 40
SEELEY LAKE - The Snow Joke Half Marathon celebrates its 40th anniversary this year under new ownership. Run Wild Missoula and the Missoulian are teaming up to produce the event where hundreds of runners take a lap around Seeley Lake Feb. 23.
"It's an iconic event, in Montana and certainly in western Montana," said Tony Banovich, executive director of Run Wild Missoula. "We wanted to make sure it continues … as a successful event, so we're happy to come and provide our operational know-how."
Formed in 2006, Run Wild Missoula has received widespread recognition for the Missoula Marathon, which was named Runners World's best overall U.S. marathon in 2010 (Boston was fifth). The same publication last week included it as one of the "10 Best Bucket List Marathons You Should Run in 2019" along with the likes of Paris, Stockholm and the Midnight Sun Marathon in Norway.
The race starts at 11 a.m. at Seeley Lake Elementary School. Pilot cars will run from Morrell Creek to Boy Scout Road while racers are on Highway 83. Motorists can expect traffic to be held starting just before 11 a.m. Banovich said they adjusted the timing so they hope the longest wait will be 15-20 minutes right at the start of the race.
"Once we get past that first [wave of runners], we expect we will be able to run a pilot car every 10 minutes," said Banovich.
Runners will need to cross Highway 83 on Boy Scout Road as they head into the finish. Law enforcement will be directing traffic to ensure runners are able to cross safely starting around 12:15 p.m. but motorists should not expect delays.
The new race directors will continue the tradition of teaming up with Seeley Lake Elementary School and Seeley-Swan Search and Rescue to staff the aid stations along the way.
Unlike most half marathons, dogs (on leashes) have been welcome at the Snow Joke for years. The Cheetah Herders introduced an official Canine Division in 1983.
That'll remain, said Banovich, who was a senior distance runner at Butte Central when the first Snow Joke was run in 1980. Five years later he finished fourth in the Seeley half-marathon.
"Pat Caffrey and his group had their way of doing things, their personality, that may be a little different from Run Wild and the Missoulian," Banovich said. "That being said, we'll be trying to keep some of the quirkier things about the race, like the goofy signs and the dogs."
The top three men and top three women finishers will split $700 in prize money. Each runner will receive a 40th anniversary medal. Early registration cost for the race is $40. Runners can sign up at mtsnowjoke.com. Long-sleeve 40th anniversary Snow Joke T-shirts are available for $25.
Missoulian Publisher Jim Strauss said, "We're especially pumped about this year's run because it marks the 40th anniversary. The half marathon has grown into quite an event from its humble beginnings with 32 runners in 1980."
Snow Joke didn't start regularly attracting more than 100 entrants until its late teens. The numbers of finishers first blew past 200 in 2004 and topped 300 the following year. Since 2010 the race has drawn more than 600 four times, peaking in 2016 when 832 men and women, 81 of them with dogs, completed the circuit around the lake.
More than 550 runners already have registered, which is about 20 percent ahead of last year's total at this time. Registrations could top 700, organizers say.
Winter weather has never forced cancellation of Snow Joke, though Caffrey once said warm weather threatened it a number of times.
Strauss called the town of Seeley Lake "an idyllic setting for a winter run."
"That picturesque backdrop is one of the great attractions of the Snow Joke," he said. "Seeley Lake is proud to be the host community for the Snow Joke and always puts its best foot forward to support the race and the hundreds of runners before, during and after the race."

Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Bieber's current manager, Scooter Braun, first discovered him through his YouTube videos in 2007. Braun, as noted, was impressed with the videos resulting in contacting Bieber's mother, Patricia Mallette, about wanting to work with his musical abilities. Moreover, him having convinced his mother, Braun arranged for Bieber to meet with singer-songwriter, Usher, in Atlanta, Georgia. As a result, Bieber was signed to RBMG, a record label based in Atlanta, then to Island Records — part of Def Jam Records — with a recording contract offered by a prominent record executive, L.A. Reid.
Justin Bieber may have hit stardom before he hit puberty, but the "Baby" singer has long been able to make women from Selena Gomez to soccer moms swoon. By the time Justin turned 18, Bieber Fever had become a global epidemic, and the world's most famous "Boyfriend" had amassed more than 24 million Twitter followers and 45 million Facebook fans. The Canadian crooner's beginnings were famously homespun: Posting videos of himself covering popular songs on YouTube, Bieber attracted the attention of Usher who ultimately became his mentor. Island Records signed Bieber and quickly released his first album.

Bieber's fans, or Beliebers, are as much a force as the star himself. When Kim Kardashian jokingly tweeted that she had "Bieber fever," she received death threats from Justin's fans.

News: Alessandra Ferri back for Royal Ballet's Woolf Works.
Friday 8 May 2015 by Clare Evans
Alessandra Ferri is returning aged 52 for The Royal Ballet's Woolf Works, as its oldest leading lady since Dame Margot Fonteyn. She will take the lead in the three-act ballet from Wayne McGregor, based on the writings of Virginia Woolf.
Ferri hopes to blaze a trail for older dancers, saying that the over-40s face age discrimination in the ballet world.
"(Younger choreographers) are unable to see that you are unique and to enjoy that fact. Some of them hardly even look at you in the rehearsal studio. I'm a pioneer and maybe I can open the door to whole new possibilities for other mature dancers," she said.
McGregor, a long-time fan of Ferri's, explained why sought her out for his leading lady.
"She is such an amazing dancer and a good actress," he said. "I wanted to push her physically. We still have this very particular idea about the age at which people should dance."
Born in Milan, Ferri joined the Royal Ballet at 15, catching the eye of Kenneth MacMillan, eventually becoming the famed choreographer's muse. She was made a Principal at just 19 years old, and retired (temporarily) at 44. She'll have to dance for another eight years to match Fonteyn, who marked her 60th birthday with a celebratory dance at the Opera House.

A Police Report Leads to a Bank Wire Recall
The Basis for the Dispute
This case involves the loss of a large sum of money and a complex recovery scenario, but ultimate success through experience, expertise and tenacity.
S.N. is a woman nearing retirement age, residing in her native Italy and looking to improve her retirement portfolio. Her descent into the world of unregulated online investments was as tragic as it was predictable. After talking her into a modest initial deposit, her "broker" made sure her "investments" paid off handsomely, setting the stage for a €60,000 deposit, ostensibly to "secure her future."
Tragically and typically with unregulated investment schemes, this was the point at which S.N. began to lose money faster than she could monitor. When she could no longer even log into her online account or access the broker's website, she understood what had happened to her, and reached out to MyChargeBack for help.
Upon investigating her case, we determined that we could indeed make a good case to her bank, despite its complexity and challenges. Foremost among these was the fact that she had made her large deposit by bank wire transfer, which, in contrast to credit or debit card payments, offers no chargeback protection. In addition, a bank wire may not leave an easily traceable money trail.
It is commonly believed and repeated that wire transfers are never reversible, and that they have no more protection against fraud than there are with paying cash. That, however, is not entirely true. But the process of tracing and recovering the funds is not easy, fast or straightforward.
We got to work by providing S.N. with the initial batch of paperwork to submit to her bank and to file a police complaint. Our documentation, in addition to the police report, was enough to convince her bank to send a recall request to the merchant's beneficiary bank in Lithuania.
The MyChargeBack Difference
A month of waiting with no clear answers from the bank led to some frayed nerves on S.N.'s part and plenty of behind-the-scenes preparations on ours. Just as we were readying a legal demand letter to send to the bank in Lithuania, our client received the wonderful news from her bank that €50,000 of her money had been retrieved and deposited in her account. While it represented slightly less than 100% of her deposits, it was close, and was both a tremendous victory and a return to financial stability and security for her.
S.N.'s Impressions
Regarding the need for help:
"After a month of high profit the consultant convinced me to put €60,000 in the account. I did the worst thing of my life . . . When I try to log in the web, it says the page was not reachable. I think I will die! . . . In Google the web page it is not available but I am desperate. Thank you for your advice."
Regarding the outcome:
"It is wonderful. I received this transaction back from the bank €50,000. No words to say how much I am happy."
Regarding MyChargeBack's assistance:
"Thank you, my life is changed. It was a really surprise for me . . . unbelievable. Thank you so much. Cheers."

GERMANY: ROAD TO BETTER DAYS
By Stefan Theil On 8/15/04 at 8:00 PM EDT
The news was dismally familiar. Last week the Prussian Claims Society, a nationalist organization of Germans whose prewar estates were annexed by Poland in 1945, announced it would sue the Polish government in the EU courts to get back its members' land. Polish papers and politicians erupted in predictable outrage. There was talk of countersuing Germany for 1 trillion euro in wartime reparations. More controversy centered on Erika Steinbach, the feisty head of the Federation of Expellees, who wants to build a memorial in Berlin to the 11 million Germans driven from the country's former east after World War II--which Poles see as a bald and inexcusable attempt to paint Germans as victims in a global conflagration that they themselves ignited. Former foreign minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski denounced Steinbach's plans as "fatal for Polish-German reconciliation."
It's been only three months since Poland joined the European Union, opening a new chapter in Europe's history. Yet suddenly, all the talk is of the past. Two days before the flap over Prussian estates, Poland's elite gathered in Warsaw to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the failed 1944 uprising against the German Wehrmacht, which left 200,000 Poles dead and the Polish capital a wasteland. They are painful memories, on both sides. But painful as the old wounds may be--and obviously they are not yet fully healed--the context in which they've been reopened could not be more different. A decade ago, when Poland began its long trek to join the EU, these old grievances dominated the uneasy and mutually suspicious relationship with Germany. Today they come between neighbors who are increasingly linked by trade, tourism and political ties. Germany and Poland are now partnered in an EU where their future fights (and alliances) will be over Brussels posts and policies, ranging from joint budgets to farm subsidies--not old borders or Prussian land.
That's partly why German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder went to Warsaw last week. It was the first time a chancellor was invited to attend the ceremonies marking the anniversary of the uprising, and the--notes he struck went far in reassuring Poles. "Today we bow in shame," Schroeder told his listeners, adding that Germans "know very well who started the war and who its first victims were." Then he categorically ruled out any restitution claims "that would stand history on its head." No less symbolically, the new German president, Horst Kohler, last month picked Warsaw, rather than traditional Paris, for his first official visit abroad. Even a few months ago that clarity would have been welcomed--but not hailed as big news. It's a measure of the moment that both Poles and Germans must be reminded of how important it is not to hold their future hostage to the past.
The trajectory of that future is plain, if not always clearly seen. Just three months into the EU, and truck traffic across the newly open Polish-German border has doubled, according to German highway authorities. That will mean another surge in the two nations' rapidly rising trade, already 32 billion euro in 2003. More than 8,000 German companies have operations in Poland, but now investment is starting to flow the other way. Last year Warsaw-based energy conglomerate PKN Orlen made corporate Poland's biggest acquisition abroad to date, buying 500 German gas stations for 101 million euro. Says Orlen Deutschland director Michal Jonczynski, "This is only the start."
Less quantifiable ties have also grown. German and Polish border guards share duty on the EU's new eastern frontier; soldiers train together in a joint military corps. Without help from an army of Polish masons, fruit pickers, nannies and maids--most working illegally until labor restrictions phase out in a few years--the German service sector would grind to a halt. These immigrants, in turn, fuel Polish growth with the checks they send back home. True, talk to ordinary Germans, and Poland remains a blank spot on their map. Two thirds have never visited Poland, and indeed wouldn't dream of doing so. A survey by Geo magazine last week showed Poland, among Germany's nine neighbors, to be the place they disliked most. That said, German tourism is showing signs of picking up. For every German expellee hoping to recover his lost estates, there are a dozen going back to help the new (Polish) owners fix them up.
Flaps over the past will no doubt make headlines for years to come, rattling nationalistic chains and raising old ghosts. Still, it's a new era for both Germans and Poles. History will always be baggage that the two nations will carry along their common road. But the good news is that, slowly, it will grow lighter.


My favorite Trade show opening line is: "What brings you to the show today?"
I find that it isn't intimidating to the attendee, and it gives you a chance to qualify the prospect. Their answer should lead you to more questions.
What openers have you found successful at your shows?
Sore Feet Can Ruin Your Whole Day!
I remember too well the time my office receptionist broke Tip #1 (Wear Comfortable Shoes), and it was not a pretty sight. It was the first time "Mary Jane" was helping out in a trade show booth. I instructed her that she needed to wear comfy shoes and she looked at me like I'd just lost my mind. She showed up looking fabulous, wearing a skirted suit and modest blouse, her makeup was just right, and she had on her feet a pair of very stylish, very high-heeled pumps. At that point, all I could do was hope for the best.
I learned a lesson that day – next time she helped at a trade show, she wore low-heel pumps and next time I had a first-time helper, I did a much better job explaining the "why" of the rules I was laying down.
With Tips of the Trade preparing your staff for your next trade show, you can be sure each member of your team will put their best foot forward – and that it'll be wearing comfortable shoes.
Ladies, it is always a good idea to bring a second pair of shoes to change into mid-day. Suggested heel height is one half inch to one and a half inches. A change of heel height can give you a new burst of energy. This is true for men as well. Although your heels don't vary as much as women's do, a shoe change and insoles can make your days feel better.
Support hose has changed…… If cocktail waitresses in Las Vegas can wear them you can too! The tip is to wear a color closest to your skin tone. You would not believe the difference you will feel on a day with support hose versus a day without.

Ken Watanabe is headed to Broadway
2014-07-03 15:00:00by Kristina Pino
As the King of Siam
Today, in news that has me grinning ear to ear, I found out that Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai, Memoirs of a Geisha, Godzilla [2014]) is going to play the King in a production of Rodgers and Hammerstien's The King and I on Broadway opening April 16th of next year. This will be his Bway debut. Playbill reports that he is joined by Kelli O'Hara who will portray Miss Anna Leonowens.
The King of Siam is a fantastic role for him, I think, and it isn't just because he has the right look and age for it. He's also a fantastic actor, and this particular role relies more on the dramatic acting of the player, and less on singing, though he does have a few singing parts.
The King has most famously been portrayed by Yul Brynner. For the uninitiated, his role is one of a leader who wants to see his country become more modern and "scientific," as he mentions a few times. Though Anna is arguably the main protagonist of the story, the King is probably the most memorable character. At least, for me he is. This play takes place in Bangkok and most scenes are going to be in various parts of the King's palace, as Anna has been hired to tutor his wives and royal children.
Check out the video above for a look at what Mr Watanabe will be doing on stage. I understand that without context this scene looks a little weird, even creepy, but it isn't. It's just the romantic tension. The Playbill article I'm using as my source also mentions that this revival of the beloved musical will use the original choreography and musical arrangements.
