Film festival is on in Wellington and we hadn't managed to get to anything until last night. Went to a movie called Nuts - based on the life of a person the Guardian refers to as a "great historical footnote" John Romulus Brinkley.
Movie is a mixture of clever animation, some interviews with historians and some of Brinkley's home movies - he was a man with high self esteem it would appear.
because we are talking about the late 1920s and early 1930s radio was very new. Brinkley was a radio pioneer - his first station KFKB (Kansas Family Knows Best) - which gained enormous following including for his own advice programmes.
The second radio station he set up was in mexico (when he lost his broadcasting license in USA he worked out that he could live in Texas, create the programmes there and broadcast out of mexico with a large enough transmitting tower that "you could hear the radio through the fillings in your teeth"
Apparently Wolfman Jack took over the Mexican radio tower - and thus JR Brinkley is responsible for the birth of rock'n'roll radio.
The biography of the man is an incredible tale. Movie was done well and if you have the opportunity to see it - online or in movie theatre you would all enjoy it I think.


Following hot on the heels of its South Korean rival Samsung's Galaxy A8's, China's Huawei Technologies announced an all screen phone with a display hole for camera. An evolution of the notch, the punch-hole cameras are all about maximising the display area and Nova 4 does that by offering 6.4-inches of space with a 2310 x 1080 resolution. Samsung was the first company to pack a punch but Nova 4's hole looks smaller despite housing a 25 MP camera. The back camera is a massive 48 MP camera as a part of triple camera setup.
Huawei Nova 4 comes with a Kirin 970 processor with 8GB of RAM. The Kirin 970 has a Mali G72 GPU, which is, considerably weaker than the Adreno line of GPUs from Qualcomm. The Huawei Nova 4 comes with Android Pie based EMUI skin, which is little bit heavier on the system than something closer to stock Android.
As far as other specifications are concerned, Nova 4 comes with 128GB of storage, a fingerprint sensor on the back, 3,750mAh battery and 18W fast charging capabilities over USB-C.
Meanwhile, Huawei's sub-brand Honor has also announced a phone with a camera hole. Called V-20, the phone is said to feature an even smaller hole diameter - 4.5mm versus the competition's alleged 6mm - for the front camera. Just like Nova 4, View 20 also features a 48 MP rear camera powered by Sony's IMX586 CMOS.
Meanwhile, Nova 4 is currently available in China. The phone will eventually make its way to India and Europe as well. It is priced at 3,399 yuan (about $490) in China, but there's also a cheaper version that goes for 3,099-yuan ($450), which replaces the 48MP shooter on the back with a 20MP sensor.

Cairo Is Milking the Saudis and Uncle Sam for Loans and Aid but Russia Is the Power It Actually Likes
Russia can't replace American and Saudi largesse but is the only power Sisi can trust not to stab him in the back
Marko Marjanović	 1 May 18 866 2
Egypt's US relations rest on bribes and fear alone, with Putin there is actual ideological affinity
The extent of Egyptian-Russian ties makes it clear. The Sisi government really likes Russia. Cairo has no reason to displease the United States and every reason not to. Staying on Uncle Sam's good side means billions of dollars in military aid per annum, displeasing it would mean regime-change subterfuge. Since all Uncle Sam demands for this is the betrayal of the Palestinians the self-interested Egyptian generals find it a price easy to pay. The US even turned a blind eye when Sisi in 2013 out-competed the Muslim Brotherhood in anti-American rhetoric accusing the Brothers of being favorites of the US.
At the same time the Egyptian military is hiring themselves out as mercenaries to the Saudis in Yemen and even selling pieces of Egypt to the Saudis. The Saudis are a useful backer against the Muslim Brotherhood, and more importantly, willing to dole out billions in affordable loans the generals need to stave off repeat of popular unrest.
And then there is the third major partner of Cairo, the Russians. Under the radar the ties between the two have multiplied greatly since 2013. As elsewhere in the Middle East Russia is slated to build billions of worth of nuclear power plants. More importantly the two militaries now regularly train together and the Russians have basing rights in Egypt. The two root for the same side in the Syrian and the Libyan civil wars, and are allies in the efforts against ISIS. All of this albeit it must certainly irritate Washington under whose influence Egypt nominally falls.
Yet there is zero danger Egypt will abandon its Moscow ties for the simple reason it is the one power Sisi can trust not to stab him in the back. The Russians have no history of fomenting instability in the region but are consistently on the side of order. The Americans and the Saudis however have a clearly demonstrated propensity for turning on figures like Sisi, even if in Egypt's case they find more reasons to prop him up instead. For now.
Read up on the extent of ties, many of them semi-clandestine:
Now that direct commercial flights have been restored between their capitals, Russia and Egypt are looking to expand their affiliations.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's re-election enables Cairo to continue the same foreign policy toward Moscow. In a congratulatory cable to his Egyptian counterpart, Vladimir Putin expressed hopes for further cooperation, which is already rather comprehensive, between the two countries.
Russia is seeing progress on its two mega projects in Egypt: the industrial zone underway east of Port Said, and a long-term collaboration on a nuclear power plant at El Dabaa. In addition, the two nations are due to resume direct flights to popular resort destinations after a 2½-year suspension prompted by the bombing of a Russian charter plane over the Sinai Peninsula in October 2015. Wilayat Sinai, an Islamic State affiliate, claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The countries are gradually restoring tourist flow despite the threat of terrorism. However, any surge in outbound Russian tourism may come at the expense of Russian resorts in Sochi and Crimea, so Moscow is likely to stick to a balanced policy on this matter.
Military-technical and even military-political partnerships still top the priority list for Russia and Egypt. In November, Egypt consented to a five-year reciprocal arrangement to allow Russian military planes to use Egyptian facilities and airspace as long as either side provides a five-day notice. The deal raised much speculation. On one hand, many people believe the agreement will merely streamline regulations concerning regular joint military exercises of Russian airborne forces and Egyptian armed forces paratroopers. On the other hand, some Russian pundits believe the decision would not only enable Russian naval aviation to carry out surveillance in the Mediterranean region, but it would also strengthen Russia's positions in Libya should an unfavorable scenario unfold there.
For example, Egypt opened in July what it says is the largest military base in the Middle East to protect the country's western border with Libya and oil fields. At the same time, facilities at Sidi Barrani — near the Egypt-Libya border — were being reconstructed to prevent extremists, illegal migrants and smugglers from infiltrating the country.
In recent years, Russian media have occasionally mentioned Russia might be thinking of leasing the former Soviet air base at Sidi Barrani. Russia was even reported to have deployed special forces and drones there. Russia and Egypt have strongly denied such reports, with Sisi himself rejecting the idea that there is any foreign military presence in his land. Yet Algerian sources stated that Russia has provided intelligence support from Egyptian territory to Libyan Gen. Khalifa Hifter, whom it backs in that country's civil war.
Also, French sources say experts from Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate have trained Egyptian special forces.
In general, Russian-Egyptian military and technical cooperation, which is increasingly becoming strategic, looks promising for both parties.
In the fall of 2015, Egypt signed a deal with Russia to purchase 46 Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopters. Cairo also reportedly placed an order for about 50 MiG-29M/MiG-29M2 fighter jets.
Also, in early June 2017, pictures — allegedly taken at the Port of Alexandria — surfaced showing S-300VM Antey-2500 anti-aircraft systems being unloaded.
There are other contracts that have been kept under wraps as well. For instance, photos of the multimode 3D-radar Protivnik-GE on social media were the only evidence that Russians had supplied the cutting-edge radar station to the Egyptian army.
In the summer of 2017, Russia's machine-building company UralVagonZavod appeared to have "leaked" its 2016 annual report, which was later removed from the website. The report highlighted plans to start licensed production of Russian T-90S/SK battle tanks in Egypt. At the moment, Russia and Egypt are apparently close to finalizing a contract for the licensed assembly of about 400 T-90S/SK tanks — half in SKD format (simple installation), and half in CKD format (requiring installation and welding of hulls and towers).
"Although the M1A1 Abrams tank manufacturing facility located outside Cairo in Helwan assembles tanks from US-supplied kits, Egyptian land forces need more, as the kits are shipped in small batches and every now and then the delivery is suspended for political reasons," Andrey Frolov, editor-in-chief of Arms Export magazine, told Al-Monitor. He said similar issues have come up with US Boeing AH-64D Apache helicopters.
Moscow has indeed secured some major contracts to supply weapons to Egypt against strong competition with the United States. However, the supplies of arms and equipment hardly improve Egypt's security situation, especially in the Sinai Peninsula. Political factors and Egypt's inadequate anti-terror strategy based on warfare principles are not particularly helpful in defeating radicals.
Military operations carried out amid media blackouts can result in rumors of numerous civilian casualties, which Wilayat Sinai actively exploits to promote recruiting and intensify fear. A comprehensive approach to combating terrorism requires a flexible strategy and relevant political openness to prevent regime opponents and radicals from joining hands, rather than the current approach of cracking down on radicals, regime opponents and/or intellectuals. However, it's questionable whether the Egyptian president — a hard-liner and advocate of coercion who disqualified all other would-be presidential candidates — would agree. Theoretically, it's easier for Sisi to focus on foreign policy and diversifying ties to counterbalance Western reprisals for human rights violations. This state of affairs is playing into Russia's hands. In turn, Egypt can play the Russia card against America.

The United States of America – Self Titled ('68)
"And the price is right, the cost of one admission is your mind"
The United States of America were signed to Columbia Records before putting out material, or even playing a live show. Soon afterwords, they released this self titled psychedelic LP, their only album. They split mere months after its release.
What is truly surprising about this album, is the electronic sounds (not to be confused with electronic music). As Joe Byrd, (vocals/effects) once said,
"The only available functioning keyable synthesizers were Robert Moog's, at +$20,000. We were left with whatever functioning sounds I could squeeze from three variable wave shape generators, modulating one another."
If that doesn't grab your attention, I'm not sure what will. This 1968 LP is, thanks to the band's lack of funds, a staple of electronic innovation.
Framed by two songs of the same title, "The American Metaphysical Circus", the album is given interesting bookends, sort of like the lead in to The Resident's God In Three Persons (and nearly as thematically twisted!). There is mention of torturing children, if one should refuse to give up their soul as admission into some sort of carnival. The song is initially sedate, yet as it progresses the vocals become distorted by modulators, becoming unintelligible. There is also a noticeable political bend to the album. Joe Byrd was drawn to communism, and Love Song For The Dead Che reflects these political intentions.
The United States of America is cluttered with musical references, specifically to the band's overall infatuation with old-time American music. There is a calliope, a ragtime piano, various marching bands, and even a dixieland-esque intro to "I Won't Leave My Wooden Wife for You, Sugar." (Although what struck me as truly wonderful/strange was the choral intro to "Where Is Yesterday."
In any case, the album is a staple of late 60s experimental psychedelic music. Yet on repeated listen, the comical nature grows tiring, and the almost art-rock extravagance begins to grate a bit. Needless to say, it's a worthwhile listen, if only to acknowledge the immense difficulty they must have had creating the electronic sounds with only basic tools such as a ring modulator. The following download link is the 2004 reissue, which I find superior to the original, as it includes a good 10 unreleased tracks.

Q: How to retain AJAX data after a POST with limited AJAX requests I'm using C# with .NET 4 (though as per company policy, we never use any ASP controls, only HTML inputs, so our pages aren't really all that much different from Rails or PHP pages).
My page is required to make a number of AJAX requests to populate a few <select>'s based on the values in other inputs on the form. The AJAX requests merely go to simple ASPX pages that return <option>'s that are retrieved from a database. When the user submits the form and it goes through some validation, and fails, I want to still retain the values in their inputs. What I am currently doing in my page_load function is storing all of the POST Request's form values in an object and then re-selecting them on the page. Problem is, I have to re-run all my AJAX requests when the page loads so that I can populate the <select>'s in order to re-select what the user had submitted at the post.
It's undesirable to make so many AJAX requests as soon as the page reloads after a POST. Is there a better way I can save all the <option>'s so that I don't have to make all these AJAX calls after the page reloads?

A: How about saving the  option values in a hidden input before posting so if the posted form doesnt pass server-side validation you will be able to have the option data in the Request.Form object and you will be able to re-populate the  control on the server with these values and use some kind of if() condition to prevent AJAX functions being used on the returned page.

A: I was also in the same problem . The solution that worked for me was : To enable viewstate to true for page , if not for page , we can do the same for just list controls. Then even if some server-side error occurs ,list controls will retain their values.
Another solution to the same problem is :
Whenever ajax response comes , we can save it in a hidden input (as discussed above),but we don't need to have too many hidden inputs for the same , it can be handled by using just 1 hidden input variable .
Whenever ajax response comes, we need to append the value of the same hidden input field (to differentiate we need to append the name of the listbox in that value) , then we can easily bind the controls without sending ajax calls again.

Small Bankruptcies
This section is from "The Encyclopaedia Britannica". Also available from Amazon: Great Books of the Western World (60 Volumes).
When the official receiver reports, or the court is otherwise satisfied that the debtor's property is not likely to realize more than £300, the court may make an order for the summary administration of the estate, in which case, if the debtor is adjudged bankrupt, the official receiver in the ordinary course becomes and remains trustee, and certain other modifications are effected with the view of simplifying and accelerating the procedure. The chief of these modifications are as follows, viz. the Board of Trade acts as committee of inspection; there is no advertisement of the proceedings in a local paper; in legal proceedings all questions of law and fact are determined by the court without a jury; adjudication may be made on a report by the official receiver before the first meeting of creditors where no composition or scheme is proposed; meetings of creditors may be held in the town where the court sits or the official receiver's office is situated; notice to creditors of meetings other than the first meeting, or of application by a debtor for his discharge, are dispensed with in the case of creditors for amounts not exceeding £2. Costs, other than a solicitor's charges, may be paid without taxation; and the time for declaring the first dividend is extended to six months, but the whole estate must be realized and distributed within this period if practicable.
No modification, however, is permitted in the procedure relating to the public examination and discharge of the bankrupt. Notwithstanding that an order has been made for summary administration, the creditors may at any time by a resolution passed by a majority in number and three-fourths in value of those voting at the meeting, appoint a trustee in place of the official receiver, in which case the summary order ceases to be operative.

August 2, 1929: Ground broken for Duluth Airport
On this day in Duluth in 1929, Mayor Sam Snively and other officials gathered for the groundbreaking ceremony of the Duluth Airport. The event was part of a three-day parks celebration that included a concert at Leif Erikson Park and the dedication of Skyline Parkway, which had been extended to Jay Cooke State Park. Parks superintendent F. Rodney Paine chaired the festivities, and guests included Minneapolis Mayor W. F. Kunze and members of Minneapolis's parks board. While in town dignitaries enjoyed a drive along the "North Shore driveway" (today's Congdon Boulevard and Scenic Highway 61) cruised "the boulevard" as Skyline Parkway was more commonly known, and toured the city's parks, including Enger Park Golf Course. The groundbreaking ceremony took place at 2 p.m. Before the final site for the airport was chosen, city officials had considered several other locations, including a field near 63rd Avenue West, Wheeler Field, and property at the intersection of Maple Grove and Haines Roads in Proctor. The site chosen was then known as the Work Farm site (not to be confused with the Poor Farm); the airport authority paid $70,000 for the 640-acre site. On September 13 and 14 the field was officially dedicated and named the Williamson-Johnson Municipal Airport for Harvey Francis Williamson, Jr., a local commercial aviation pioneer, and Lieutenant Conrad Gilbert Johnson the first aviator from Duluth's killed during the first world war.

Richard Swift performing with The Shins on Sept. 28, 2012, at Cuthbert AmphitheaterPhoto by Todd Cooper
As I Go
Remembering acclaimed musician, producer and Cottage Grove resident Richard Swift
Music by William KennedyPosted on 07/19/2018
Richard Swift was arguably the most prolific and best-known musician in Oregon. He toured the world with acts like The Black Keys and The Shins, while collaborating with and producing some of indie rock's biggest names at National Freedom Studios, a recording facility Swift owned and operated in Cottage Grove. The full list of notable artists Swift touched includes Damien Jurado, Foxygen, Mynabirds and many more.
Swift died July 3 at the age of 41. The causes of death were hepatitis, as well as liver and kidney distress, according to a social media post from his family, record label and artist management.
Swift was also a successful solo artist and songwriter. Whether in his solo work, in collaboration or as a producer, Swift always looked forward. He had a crisp and clean, yet emotionally present style, which occasionally recalled classic Motown. On one of his solo tracks, "Songs of National Freedom," Swift mentions his desire to lead a low-key life in Oregon. "I made my way into the spotlight," he sings, "just to realize it's not what I want."
It seems like a little miracle that Swift managed to bring such quality artists to the small south Lane County city. Last year, when I spoke to Shins singer, primary songwriter and Portland resident James Mercer in advance of his show in Eugene, he mentioned frequently traveling to see Swift.

And Alyssa Gonzales, co-owner of Cottage Grove bar, restaurant and music venue The Axe & Fiddle, tells Eugene Weekly Swift was like family to her and her staff.
"Years ago, in our infancy, Swift would spin his favorite records Monday nights as DJ Donald Five Pennies," she says. And while Swift brought some of music's biggest names to Cottage Grove, he always prioritized his small-town lifestyle and tight-knit community.
"Swift brought musicians and big names from all over the world to our small-town public house, his favorite place to be outside of his home studio just a few blocks away," she explains. "We had the pleasure of hosting and befriending some of the most incredible people and talents because of Richard, including himself."
"Every farm party, baby shower, wedding, birthday party — Swift was sure to show up," she continues, "'Man alive, we have the greatest buds on the planet,' is something he would say often. We held each other up and will continue to do so because Richard loved fiercely and we all learned from that. We have countless memories, inside jokes, silly photos and videos and of course his beautiful music."

Upon learning of Swift's death, Black Keys bandleader Dan Auerbach posted to Instagram: "Today the world lost one of the most talented musicians I know." In 2016, Swift played bass with the Keys and was also a one-time member of the Arcs, an Auerbach side project. "He's now with his Mom and Sister," Auerbach continues. "I will miss you my friend."
Dave Depper, guitarist with Bellingham, Wash., indie rock act Death Cab for Cutie, also paid tribute to Swift on Twitter. "For so long, he was a cult artist, a unique Oregon treasure," Depper writes, "but it's no wonder that his secret finally got out, resulting in just about everybody on Earth wanting just a thimbleful of his magic on their records over the past few years."

In June, Swift was admitted to a Tacoma-area hospital with a "life-threatening" condition, according to a GoFundMe page launched to help his family cover medical expenses. He is survived by his wife and three children. Swift was working on new material at the time of his death.

Every now and again it is important to take a look into the pantry for opportunities to clear the clutter. I sorted through the cans and bottles to find items that were near or past their expiry date. I also looked for items that we could donate to the food bank. Sorting through your pantry is a great way to make sure you don't over buy at the grocery store too. I often think I am out of something so I pick it up at the store only to get home and see that I had some in behind the cereal or the massive jar of peanut butter. Having an organized pantry does help me to quickly see what I have and what we are out of. In fact this week we didn't even need to buy any 'supplies' for the pantry we just had to buy fresh produce and meat to make our meals and then relied on what was left in the pantry to use.
I used to have a very small pantry (that's a loose term for a very small cupboard that was cramped and hard to use). It was next to impossible to organize it and see what I had and didn't have ... so yep, I kept buying things I thought I was out of but which were actually just in the back of the shelf, beyond my site. Now I have a bigger pantry and it's organized. I can see everything! It really is the key!
What a great idea to donate items that won't be used before the pull date to a food bank. Brilliant!
Looks like you did pretty great on the challenge though!
I didn't even notice until now that the top shelf isn't in the picture! It is where we store our booze, party supplies (you can always use more hawaiian leis), wok, turkey roaster etc etc. Easier to keep clean because it is the big stuff.

Q: SQL Server 2017 - "SQL Server Assertion:" Error I'm encountering a scenario very similar to this:
SQL 2016 SQL Server Assertion: File: <pageref.cpp>, line=951 Failed Assertion
With more or less the same error text:

SQL Server Assertion: File: <pageref.cpp>, line=1496 Failed Assertion
= 'IS_OFF (BUF_MINLOGGED, m_buf->bstat) || pageModifyType != PageModifyType_Contents || GetPagePtr ()->IsTextPage ()'. This error
may be timing-related. If the error persists after rerunning the
statement, use DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for structural
integrity, or restart the server to ensure in-memory data structures
are not corrupted.

I found a KB that says that it fixes this issue:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb3205964-fix-an-assertion-occurs-when-you-bulk-insert-data-into-a-table-from-multiple-connections-in-sql-server-2016-3fbe6f26-4cbe-43bb-9ddf-3c302fa5562f
Problem is, that fix is for 2016, not 2017.  This instance is running 2017 CU22-GDR (KB4583457 - 14.0.3370.1), so it's on the latest GDR CU as of this writing.
I work for a managed service provider.  I'm not privy to what queries are being run, nor can I make any alterations to any queries, so I can't provide any insight there.
Anyone know what could cause this error in 2017?  Other than asking the client to investigate any "bulk insert data into a table from multiple connections" operations?


In 2005 Maykel and Javier Sotomayor joined together to create a new group. Sotomayor gave the new group the name "Salsa Mayor" and has remained in touch with the band while Maykel is the composer/director. In 2005 Maykel Blanco y Su Salsa Mayor had already made a name for themselves in Cuba and in Europe, catching the attention of timba fans with humorous videos and with timba arrangements that demonstrated the maturation of Maykel's skills as a composer/arranger. Demos of their songs were on all the DJs playlists.
There was an early version of their CD available only in Europe. It was called Si quieres, quiéreme , but it was in 2006 that they finally officially released their first wide-distribution album, Recoge y vete . The new CD was an instant hit, making Salsa Mayor one of the most popular groups of 2006.
Maykel Blanco y Su Salsa Mayor did their first major European tour during the summer of 2007. Europe was eagerly awaiting the chance to see this band live. In fact I have never seen an audience react like the audience in Paris did when Salsa Mayor performed there for the first time. There is no doubt that Salsa Mayor has quickly taken a place in the affection of timba fans.

Q: EF Fluent API - retrieving related entities I have project class where each Project has its WorkOrders.
Those are tables created in MySQL
CREATE TABLE `project` (
    `idProject` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `idCompany` INT(11) NOT NULL,
    `Title` VARCHAR(100) NULL DEFAULT NULL COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci',
    PRIMARY KEY (`idProject`, `idCompany`),
    INDEX `FK_project_company` (`idCompany`),
    CONSTRAINT `FK_project_company` FOREIGN KEY (`idCompany`) REFERENCES `company` (`idCompany`) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)
;

CREATE TABLE `project_workorders` (
    `idProjectWO` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    `idProject` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
    `idWorkOrder` INT(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
    PRIMARY KEY (`idProjectWO`, `idProject`, `idWorkOrder`),
    INDEX `FK_project_workorders_project` (`idProject`),
    INDEX `FK_project_workorders_workorder` (`idWorkOrder`),
    CONSTRAINT `FK_project_workorders_project` FOREIGN KEY (`idProject`) REFERENCES `project` (`idProject`) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION,
    CONSTRAINT `FK_project_workorders_workorder` FOREIGN KEY (`idWorkOrder`) REFERENCES `workorder` (`idWorkOrder`) ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
);

And then there are FluentAPI configuration files
class ProjectConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Project>
    {
        internal ProjectConfiguration()
        {
            this.HasKey(p => new { p.idProject , p.idCompany});
            this.Property(p => p.idProject)
                .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);
            this.HasRequired<MaxUser>(p => p.CreatedByUser)
                .WithMany()
                .HasForeignKey(p => p.CreatedByID);
            this.HasMany(s => s.ProjectWO)
                .WithRequired(w=>w.Project)
                .HasForeignKey(k=>new { k.idProject,k.idProjectWO});
            this.Map(m =>
            {
                m.MapInheritedProperties();
            });
        }
    }

    class ProjectWOConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<ProjectWO>
    {
        internal ProjectWOConfiguration()
        {
            this.HasKey(p=> new { p.idProjectWO , p.idProject, p.idWorkOrder });
            this.Property(p => p.idProjectWO)
                .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);
            this.HasRequired<MaxUser>(p => p.CreatedByUser)
                .WithMany()
                .HasForeignKey(p => p.CreatedByID);
            this.Map(m =>
            {
                m.MapInheritedProperties();
            });
        }
    }

The problem is I can not get related entities to appear in Project object.
No matter what I try , the ProjectWO sub-object is always empty.

Any help is appreciated.

A: Regarding the MapKey...  This relates to EF 6, It seems EF Core doesn't have this feature, so I'm not too sure how to define relationships without FK properties. (Hence why I tend to avoid bleeding edge tech until everyone else has gotten bloody, and screamed at the authors to make it usable. :)
Given the following entities:
public class Project
{
   public int IdProject { get; set; }
   public virtual List<ProjectWorkOrder> WorkOrders { get; set; }
   ...
}

public class ProjectWorkOrder
{
   public int IdProjectWO { get; set; }
   public virtual Project { get; set; }
   public virtual WorkOrder {get; set; }
   ...
}

public class WorkOrder
{
   public int IdWorkOrder { get; set; }
   public virtual List<ProjectWorkOrder> Projects { get; set; }
   ...
}

The MapKey would go in the Project entity configuration:
public class ProjectConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<Project>
{
   public ProjectConfiguration()
   {
      ToTable("projects");
      HasKey(x => x.IdProject)
         .Property( x => x.IdProject)
         .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);

      .HasMany(x => x.WorkOrders)
         .WithRequired(x => x.Project)
         .Map(x => x.MapKey("idProject")
         .WillCascadeOnDelete(true);

public class ProjectWorkOrderConfiguration : EntityTypeConfiguration<ProjectWorkOrder>
{
   public ProjectWorkOrderConfiguration()
   {
      ToTable("project_workorders");
      HasKey(x=> x.IdProjectWO)
      Property(x => x.idProjectWO)
         .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);

      HasRequired(x => x.Project)
         .WithMany(x => x.WorkOrders)
         .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
      HasRequired(x => x.WorkOrder)
         .WithMany(x => x.Projects)
         .WillCascadeOnDelete(false);
   }
}

By telling EF about the FK column you remove the need to declare FK values in your entity. With entities I would recommend using either reference members (i.e. The Project reference in the ProjectWorkOrder) or the FK field, or neither; but not both reference and FK. The reason for that is that when you have both the reference and a FK this can lead to confusion in the code and within EF when it comes time to save changes to an entity.  If I set a reference to an instance of an entity with an ID of 1, but then can set the FK field to "2", what do I trust EF to do? Typically to avoid this weirdness you need to add code to the setters to ensure that the reference and FK can never be set to different values. So if you're using EF Core, then that's probably the route you'd need to consider unless someone knows of a way to get .HasForeignKey or the like to deal with the schema rather than the entity.
Whether I add references back to parents would depend on what entities serve as top-level within my system. For instance if I always deal with Projects and want to get the relevant work orders and don't need to go from work orders back up to projects then my ProjectWorkOrder entity wouldn't bother having a Project or ProjectId, Project would just register a .HasMany(x=> x.WorkOrders).Map(x=>x.MapKey("idProject").WithRequired(); If I do go from WorkOrder to project then I'd have the navigation property. In some cases where I don't care about the entity details, just the association (I.e. a lookup) then in those cases I'd just map the FK. Generally these would be linked to an enumeration or name-value pair. This example assumed 2-way navigation.

Will My Life Show God's Tattoo?
My friend, Loni, displays inside her left arm Jeremiah 29: 11-12. Even though it sounded familiar, I looked it up again this morning. "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plan to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you." I guess it would have hurt more and cost more to have the actual words etched into the arm. When Loni got the tattoo, her life had just taken a 360 degree turn to become a follower of God, plus her budget was limited. I'm proud of her for providing a visual reminder of the importance of her decision and her plan for the change to be permanent.
When I consider it, Jesus also wore tattoos. They just happened to be the scars of spikes driven through his hands and feet. One of his closest followers, Thomas, had to see it to believe it and said so.
How can my life show in 2017 the permanence of a growing love for serving God? Will it be to treat others well? Will it be to study to grow spiritually? Will it be to share God's love and plan with others? Will I be the one to start the conversation–'When do you feel closest to God?' What do you think–will this 'showing God's tattoo' be important this year for you, too?

Love this line…"When I consider it, Jesus also wore tattoos. They just happened to be the scars of spikes driven through his hands and feet." Thank you, Zeta.
Wow–that's what was so imperative to me, too.
Thought provoking post. The passage from Isaiah reminds me that God never forgets me and isn't afraid to show it. I am convicted there are times when I'd rather fade into the scenery than stand out for God.
I know how you are about standing out; it is a risk. I'm being more and more compelled to 'start the conversation.' I've found that people want to talk about God; they simply will not speak up first. What do you think?

Q: ASP.NET: Your most used httpmodules Interested in description of your most used ASP.NET httpmodules that solved a specific problem for your webapp.
Best practices and in-the-field usages are welcome.

A: Used a module which checks for Authorization of a given user. So, when any resource is requested it checks whether the user has the rights to access it, and if not it would take the user to a friendly page.
ACL can be in Authz DB or an xml file and are differentiated using the roles.

A: MBCompression: handlers and modules to compress Css files, JavaScript files, pages and WebResource.axd.
I use it in environments where I don't have full control of the server and native IIS compression is not possible.

A: Run a background service when you don't have access to the server's OS (as is the case in a shared hosting environment).

A: I've got an SSL module which checks if the page being requested needs to be accessed via SSL, and redirects accordingly.  The list of pages or folders which must be accessed via an SSL connection are stored in an XML file.  When pages being are requested via SSL which don't need to be, the module redirects them to the non-SSL version, and vice-versa.

A: ELMAH is very popular and useful for exception logging in ASP.NET applications.

A: An HttpModule that supports friendly URLs by converting human-legible URLs into the ones the program uses behind the scenes on every requst. It also drives my CMS.

A: For me the most used http module is the the forms authentication module.
We use it to secure pretty much every website we use.

A: I use a suite of http modules and http handlers:
http://code.google.com/p/talifun-web/
StaticFileHandler
An http handler that will serve static files in a cached, compressed and resumable manner.
It generates consistent etags and the correct meta tags for caching on proxies and locally. This is especially useful when you don't have control over the configuration of the webserver.
It can also serve cached requests and compressed cached requests from memory bypassing the hard drive.
It supports the following http header tags:

*

*Accept-Ranges

*ETag

*Expires

*Last-Modified

*Range

*If-Range

*If-Match

*If-None-Match

*If-Modified-Since

*If-Unmodified-Since

*Unless-Modified-Since

CrusherModule
A module that compresses js into a single file, and css into a single file.
It also watches for changes to any of the watched css or js files and regenerates the crushed file. It generates a unique hash for the crushed file and appends it to the css url and the js url. So you are always sure to be served the correct content, regardless of caching.
CssSpriteModule
A module that combines component images into a single sprite image file and generates the css sprite file required to cut the sprite image into its component images.
RegexUrlAuthorizationModule
A module that provides authorization based on urls matching regular expressions.
LogUrlModule
A very simple module that makes it easy to hook into web requests that match a regular expression.
PageCompressionModule
A module to compresses dynamic pages for webforms and mvc.

Investor: Time for health insurance companies to act like D2C businesses
Health insurers need to make a change fast, according to a new report from investment firm the Psilos Group. The group's 2014 Healthcare Outlook report contends that the shift in insurers' customer base from mostly employers to mostly individuals, spurred by the Affordable Care Act, will lead to a major shift in how the insurance market works.
"The health insurance industry's 50-year legacy as a business-to-business model is on the edge of irrelevance," Steve Krupa, managing member of Psilos Group, said in a statement. "The health insurance market is rapidly shifting to 40 percent individual policies from just 10 percent prior to the Affordable Care Act. A change of this magnitude affects every stakeholder in healthcare. However, with this change comes an enormous opportunity for forward-thinking companies and new investment."
In a call with MobiHealthNews, Krupa stressed that up until now, insurance companies have looked at individual consumers as end users, but not, by and large, as customers. To sell to individuals, insurance companies need to find ways to become trusted consumer brands.
"Today, most people have interactions with their insurance companies under strife. They're sick, they just got injured, they're trying to pay the bills of a family member that just had surgery," he said. "They don't have a relationship with their insurance company until something like that happens, and by that very nature, that relationship is going to be strained when it becomes activated. So I think the insurance companies have to figure out how to activate that relationship during other times."
But just changing the branding without changing the product won't be enough for insurers to win in a post-consumerization world. The report lays out changes insurance companies should make along every step in the company's value chain: research, product development, supply chain management, provider network management, operations, and marketing.
The changes laid out under those sections are wide-reaching, encompassing more cost transparency, a la carte purchasing options, and consumer-facing products like patient health portals, claims calculators, and health engagement rewards programs. Krupa identified claims management as one of the most important areas, citing Cognizant's acquisition of TriZetto as an example of the sort of investment insurers will start to make in improving those systems.
"I look at how insurers pay claims, manage data, transmit that data, and how they make it available to various stakeholders, and it doesn't have the same robustness and modernness of most other industries that serve consumer interests," he said. "And I think that's an important part of where things are headed and I think that as they begin upgrading that area of their business, it will make it more logical as to how they add other features to their product that will appeal to consumers."

Australia captain Aaron Finch expects India to fight back hard in second ODI
Australia gave the India team a reality check with a crushing 10-wicket win in the lung-opener on Tuesday.

RAJKOT: Australia captain Aaron Finch has no doubts that India will "fight back" in the second ODI here Friday after being battered in the series-opener in Mumbai.
Australia gave the hosts a reality check with a crushing 10-wicket win in the lung-opener on Tuesday, riding on David Warner and Finch's unbeaten hundreds.
But Finch said it would be silly to take India lightly as they boast of world-class players.
"That was a pretty good performance. I think our fielding was a little bit sloppy but all in all we ar really happy with how the boys went," he was quoted as saying by 'cricket.com.au' after the win in Mumbai.
ALSO READ: MS Dhoni trends on social media after India's humiliating loss to Australia in first ODI
"They (India) will fight back no doubt. They are a great side, got some world-class players," Finch said talking about what to expect from Friday's match.
Chasing a below-par 256, David Warner (128 not out) and Finch (110 not out) shared a record opening stand as Australia cantered home in the first ODI.
Asked about his opening partner's batting display, the Australia skipper said: "He (Warner) is playing unbelievably well I think. It's so hard to bowl to him once he gets in. He hits the ball all around the ground, so stopping him from scoring is so hard.
"He is so clear with how he is going to bat, his footwork is pretty good. His mental state is unbelievable when he is out in the middle. He is so clear with his thoughts and his game. He is in top shape."
ALSO READ: India will make comeback in series against Australia, believes Sourav Ganguly
While lauding his bowlers for their superb show in the middle overs, Finch hinted that Josh Hazlewood could get a chance in the second ODI by resting either Pat Cummins or Mitchell Starc in an effort to manage their workload.
"To be able to control such a damaging top-order with their lengths is brilliant. The ball just swung enough to keep them in the game all the time. They were so accurate which you have to be in these conditions," he said.
"The bowling line-up will obviously be discussed with Josh (Hazlewood) on the sidelines. With back-to-back games and pretty quick and a reasonably heavy Test load, I'm sure Josh will come in for one of them (Cummins or Starc) at some point.
"(But) Unless it's a forced change with a niggle or injury, I don't think it would be much," he added.

Does anyone know where I can purchase an authentic new Gibson Les Paul in Chiang Mai? Specifically, I'm after the 2019 Honeyburst Standard.
I recall visiting a guitar store in the Airport Central a couple of years ago, not the friendliest staff but many guitars to choose from. Will appreciate any thoughts. Thanks in advance.
Not sure but looks like this place will be your best first stop.
It would possibly be cheaper to fly out of Thailand, to USA or even Singapore or Japan, buy one there and bring it back as your personal instrument.
Wow, fast and informative replies, many thanks to you all.
I would buy it in Bangkok.
I agree with about the staff in the Central Mall guitar shop. I've gone there many times for strings and the attitude and service was really poor. I go elsewhere now.
I also agree with the comment above about checking prices (online) in other countries, as well as Bangkok. It's probably unlikely that any store in CM would carry the model you said and if they did it would priced well north of 100,000 Bt. The Les Paul Standard 2019 Cherry Sunburst model was priced at 3500 $US at a store I checked in the US. The markup in Thailand (as it is for all types of consumer electronics) would be very large.
Good luck. That is an exquisite guitar. I hope you find one. I wish I could afford it!
Try Kai Dee ( mostly second hand ) or Lazada.
As far as I remember, the duty on electric guitars (and amps) is 10% so it shouldn't be too expensive to import one, although the CITES restrictions on rosewood might complicate matters as the 2019 standard has a rosewood fingerboard. I wouldn't buy one from a physical store in Chiang Mai because the only one I know of that is likely to stock them has prices about 15%+ higher than stores in Bangkok.
I've found https://www.facebook.com/Mmusicthaii/ to be the easiest to deal with of those in Bangkok that I've tried, and competitive on prices. Unfortunately, all of the music stores in Thailand seem to be incapable of keeping their websites up to date as far as what they do and don't have in stock is concerned so you need to contact them to find out what they have available.
If you go the secondhand route, there are some trustworthy sellers on Kai Dee but I'd avoid Lazada for any purchases where authenticity might be an issue.
https://www.guitarthai.com/classified/classified.asp is another good site for secondhand deals. Although, if you want the 2019 model, I'm guessing you won't be looking at secondhand deals!


You see, my mom knew something else as well. Stealing is a sin before our Holy Creator. When we take something that is not rightfully ours, we reveal our rebellion against God. Most of us know this and most of us trumpet it. Among all the things that professing Christians quibble over, the command "Thou shalt not steal" is rarely considered a controversial topic. In fact, the Bible's prohibition against stealing isn't controversial among wider society.
Most parents, Christian or not, would not be happy to discover that their child had shoplifted candy. Most of us want the government to punish those who steal cars, shoplift TVs, or break into the houses of others in order to steal. But many of us feel no tinge of conscience when we illegally download music or watch a pirated movie.
People are attempting to pirate the film. PLEASE understand that a professional film production company spent four years flying around the country producing this film. We're hoping to make several more editions. While you think you're spreading the word by pirating, you're actually killing any chance of the rest of the series being made. And you're breaking the law. PLEASE do not pirate this film.
Many Christians seem to believe that watching pirated movies, listening to illegally downloaded music, and using photocopied sheet music and books are not stealing. Setting aside the fact that doing so is an act of disobedience to the government God has placed over us, those things are stealing.
If you record movies onto other devices (DVD, VHS, digitally, et al.) and give or even sell those copies to your family and friends, you are a thief. If you avail yourself of the many websites that show pirated movies, you are a thief. If you illegally download music, you are a thief. If you photocopy music for your church choir to use without obtaining the proper permission, you are a thief. If you photocopy a book and pass those copies out to your study group, you are a thief.
Those are harsh words. But harsh isn't a synonym for false.
Like the sin of lying, if we're being honest, we've all stolen something. Therefore, all of us need Jesus: we're liars and thieves; we're sinners.
However, my intended audience for this post aren't those who have yet to repent and believe in Jesus. It's my brothers and sisters in Christ who laugh off copyright laws as they enjoy pirated movies and music.
Brothers and sisters, that's sin, and there's no ethical way around it.
As the producers of American Gospel pointed out in their Facebook post, your motives do not matter. Those who watch their documentary and conclude that their friends and family would benefit from watching it, are stealing money out the pockets of those involved in the production and are chipping away at the producers' ability to make more in the series if they pass out pirated copies of the movie. Those who pirate the documentary are revealing that their desires are more important than obeying God and that they don't care that they are undermining the ability of others to make a living and provide for their families. And that applies to watching pirated movies produced by non-Christians, too.
There is a larger conversation in this about how many American evangelicals undervalue the arts. Even within that conversation, though, there is zero room in the Bible for allowing the stealing of the intellectual property of others.
This is such a "get the splinter out of your own eye" topic as to make it hard to talk to each other about. Chances are, unless you are a complete luddite, you have violated this very thing, and I'm including myself in that "you." But God doesn't call us to ignore sin because we all do it. Instead, we should all humbly encourage each other to pursue holiness while resting in the glorious reality that our Father loves us and has saved us from all sin, including violating copyright laws.
If you are guilty of watching pirated movies and music or of taking part in the illegal photocopying of music and books for your church or Christian school, you need to repent. And, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you need to stop doing it.
This is really sad. Thank you for sharing. Pirating would be like turning a good message into a poor one, or in other words, the ends don't justify the means.
Not sure about the U.S., but in Canada there are "fair use" laws that allow portions of books and other materials (up to a certain percentage) to be copied and used for educational purposes – would you still consider it stealing if a page was photocopied – for small group reading for example – even if it was fully within the law to do so?
That's a good question, and one that I'm not able to answer. I do know that there are reasons why Hollywood releases movies in Canada almost last.
I guess the question becomes, do the laws of one nation transcend over the rights of the artist? I'll admit, that's a tough one.
Fair use is in U.S. law, too. Basically it stops when you're using significant portions of a copyrighted work. A page or two, fine, but whole chapters without permission? Nope.
I've had a number of times where I've had to remind fellow engineers not to pirate copyrighted works, pointing out that since we're people who produce ideas, pirating papers and such is more or less saying "I shouldn't be paid." Not always a popular thing to say. And I've cringed as coworkers go into the pirated video shops all over Asia.


As hospitals seek new ways to increase efficiency and safety while reducing costs, surgical services are finding themselves under the microscope, charged with identifying areas for improvement.
And while its not easy, given the unique needs of each surgical procedure, our experience has been that a comprehensive assessment one that includes an examination of the efficacy of surgical products used, as well as staff productivity, overall safety and associated costs will often reveal areas where a few relatively minor adjustments can have significant results. This is particularly true with surgical prep processes.
In fact, recent evaluations have consistently identified two key aspects of the surgical prep where a slight change in practice or product can result in higher productivity, lower costs and improved safety.
While the process of surgical site preparation has remained virtually unchanged over the years, the variety and delivery of solutions has not. Todays solutions range from aqueous/non-aqueous isdophor and isopropyl alcohol to iodine, chlorhexidine and chloroxylenol and gel compounds, all of which come in multi-use bottles, or pre-measured single-use applications.
They are faster to apply, less messy, cleanse more effectively, dry faster and enhance drape adhesion, thus preventing the sterile surface from being compromised while speeding prep time.
Pooling between patient and equipment is reduced since application is controlled, thereby reducing the risk of skin irritation and providing for a quicker post-procedure clean-up.
While they may cost a bit more (an obstacle that can often be eliminated by appropriate product utilization based on procedures), their benefits in terms of speedier preps, enhanced drape adhesion and reduction of other risks outweighs the cost. Thus, pre-measured applicators can have a positive impact on the bottom line.
The second area of surgical prep that can be streamlined to improve efficiencies without affecting safety is to eliminate the waste created by outdated practices, such as discarding sterile exam gloves in favor of surgical gloves when prepping patients. Exam gloves, which cost 10 to 20 times less, provide more than adequate protection and wont degrade during the few minutes it takes to prep a patient.
Its also important to note that the exam gloves found in most prep kits are latex-free, while surgical gloves often are not. Therefore, discarding exam gloves in favor of surgical gloves can unknowingly expose staff and patients to latex. Since sensitivities can be unknown (many patients havent come into contact with latex prior to the gloves used for surgical prep), unnecessary exposure to latex should be eliminated.
This practice also undermines the goal of standard and custom procedure trays and leads us to our next target for waste elimination. When these trays are dismantled, any cost and productivity savings realized through their use is tossed out with the unused contents. If this is happening, its time to re-evaluate the contents.
According to a survey by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, a five-hospital system in Portland, Ore. reported a net savings of more than $30,000 per year and a total waste prevention of 11,000 pounds per year just by removing items from their custom surgical packs that were not routinely used.
Finally, its time to stop excessive layering of surgical drapes. In the past, when cloth (reusable) drapes were utilized, it was necessary to create multiple layers to foster absorption and prevent fluids from pooling. But advances in the materials used for disposable and reusable drapes eliminate that problem, along with the need for multiple layers. In fact, it is now possible to square off and then use one key drape and/or universal drape of the appropriate reinforcement.
In summary, by using the appropriate products made from the appropriate materials, it is possible to improve the safety and speed of the surgical prep process and cut costs by eliminating waste, increasing productivity and reducing inventory costs.
Rosaline Parson, RN, BSN, CEN, CCRN, is vice president of Clinical Resources, the consulting arm of Maxxim Medical, a leading manufacturer of custom procedure trays, medical gloves, vascular access and critical care products. Clinical Resources is comprised of RNs skilled in providing clients with inservice education, CEUs, product utilization studies, procedure costing application and clinical support during product conversions.
Discarding the sterile exam gloves in favor of sterile surgical gloves when prepping a patient for surgery. The exam glove, which is far less expensive, provides more than adequate protection and wont degrade during the few minutes theyre in use while prepping the patient.
Using layers of drapes after prep instead of one drape of the appropriate reinforcement for the procedure. Excessive layering is an unnecessary expense that takes longer and costs more without enhancing safety or preventing infections.
Dismantling custom procedure trays and using only a portion of the contents, and then discarding the rest. If this is happening in your facility, its time to re-evaluate the contents of those procedure trays.
Not using scrub solutions in pre-measured applicators. They may cost a bit more than multi-use bottles, but they actually save money in the long run because they are less messy, faster to apply, cleanse more effectively and enhance drape adhesion, thus preventing the sterile surface from being compromised. Too, by standardizing prep solutions throughout a facility, savings is realized through bulk purchases. Date labels and excess waste is also avoided with pre-measured applicators.
Using materials that contain latex. Even if latex-free costs more, the risk isnt worth the pennies saved. With the proliferation of latex-free products on the market today, there is no reason to risk exposing patients and staff to latex reactions because your surgical supplies ranging from gloves and gowns, to drapes and trays arent latex free. For many, the prep may be the first latex (gloves) contact the patient will have, and it could easily be avoided with use of the right glove packaged with the prep process.


We will provide you with world-class reports that summarize the reproductive effects of your company's products. The reports include data from our proprietary databases, public databases worldwide, and the published literature. We author these reports with quality and compliance in mind and in a format that you can share internally and/or externally.
Our Maternal Health experts can also write documents for a variety of audiences, manage writing projects, and maintain consistency of style and message across multiple documents.
This report compares your product's potential reproductive risks to those of similar products (eg, drugs in the same class or drugs for the same indication) and provides detailed suggestions for surveillance activities and mitigation strategies. Lactation and effects on fertility are also included.
This report provides scientifically-based justification for the pregnancy, lactation, and effects on fertility sections of your product's labels. If needed, we will also address regional variations. The document is written to be readily submitted to regulatory agencies.
Has your company perfomed a clinical or an observational study and you need an expert to write the interim or final report? We have decades of experience doing that! And because we have experts in different fields (eg, clinical, pharmacovigilance, teratology), we can do this timely and with minimal oversight.
This document contains all that is available about your product's reproductive risk, including data from our pregnancy exposure registry, licensed specialized databases, articles published in the medical literature, and the experience of our Maternal Health experts. Lactation and effects on fertility are also included. These reports can be formatted for regulatory use or for internal distribution (we can also create a great PowerPoint presentation for your audience!).
This most comprehensive report includes all the contents of the other reports: a detailed description of your product, indication, and exposure, a complete review of the literaure, summary results from clinical and observational studies, a description of the identified and potential reproductive risks, surveillance activities, risk mitigation strategies, and the language for various regulatory documents. It's an all-in-one document, which we can update periodically for you.
After reading one of Pregistry's reports I realize that they can only be written by dedicated Drug Safety specialists in pregnancy and lactation. They set a very high bar.

Create time for relaxation and spontaneity by defining and scheduling your priorities ahead of time.
Before leaving the office and settling into the weekend, Stephanie Shalofsky, founder and professional organizer at The Organizing Zone in New York City, takes a few moments to identify her top priority for Monday morning. She also updates her to-do list for the following week and does a clean sweep of her workspace. By writing these things down ahead of time, you'll be able to jump right into your work on Monday, and relax over the weekend knowing you've got next week's list ready to go. Don't miss these 8 bedtime secrets of professional organizers.
"I usually start each weekend by defining my objectives for the weekend and being sure that I haven't scheduled every last minute," says Shalofsky. "After all, weekends are for down time and shouldn't be scheduled to the same extent as the work week." Leave time for essential chores like laundry and grocery shopping, but don't feel pressure to create a detailed itinerary.
In a 2011 interview with Techonomy, Jack Dorsey, CEO and cofounder of Twitter, said he gave each day a theme (Monday is for connecting with management, Tuesday for focusing on product, and Wednesday is for marketing and growth). "Saturday I take off. I hike," he said. "Sunday is reflection, feedback, and strategy." When they're not in weekend mode, these are the 10 things successful people do after work.
Jill Annis, a professional organizer and columnist in Madison, Wisconsin, says daily maintenance is the only way to keep paper chaos under control. If you've already broken that rule, take 15 minutes on the weekend to catch up. Annis says the most common habits that bring people stress are hold onto too much paper, avoiding filing it, not labeling folders, not alphabetizing folders, and not maintaining their system. Tackling just one of these tasks each weekend will leave you with a stress-free filing system in no time.
"I don't like running around before my kids head off to school looking for a missing scarf or making lunches, so my husband and I split these tasks," says Liz Allen, professional organizer and founder of Simple Life Organizing in Olathe, Kansas. "By the time we go to bed, all the lunches are ready, and I've made sure everything we'll need the next day is in its place." These are the 11 secret morning habits of highly organized people.

Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative supports a community where struggling residents across the region can achieve a basic standard of living in housing, health care, nourishment, education and sustainable financial resources.
Historically, poverty has been framed as linked to the conditions in urban and rural environments … By 2010, more than one in four suburban residents were poor or near-poor.
Read more about Suburban Poverty
Health, Education, and Food Access: The Health, Education and Food Access Committee promotes multi-sector collaborations between health, education and food access to reduce the impact of poverty in the Tri-Valley.
Housing: Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative works to increase access to affordable housing.
TVAPC Organizational Structure
The Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative (TVAPC) is governed by an elected, volunteer Steering Committee. The representatives of the Steering Committee are members of the Leadership Group from a variety of sectors. Members of the Steering Committee serve a one year term and may be re-elected at the end a term. Elections are held on the last Leadership Meeting day of a calendar year.
Members of TVACP comprise the Leadership group and participate in governance of the collaborative by reviewing and voting on collaborative business. The Leadership group meets quarterly and is open to the general public.
The Steering Committee and Leadership Group direct the Project Manager. The Project Manager helps to oversee the TVAPC strategic plan, budget, business and communications activities, marketing, social media and community liaison work.
TVAPC has two working groups that meet as committees to address the specific areas of interest to the collaborative: the Health, Education and Food Access Committee and Housing Committee. Theses committees meet monthly and are open to the general public and new members.
The committees may establish a task force to study potential projects. The task force is charged with reporting its findings and recommendations to the committee from which it originates.
TVAPC has a sponsoring fiscal agent that receives and distributes collaborative monies and completes record keeping activities.
TVAPC is deeply rooted in the cities of Dublin, Livermore and Pleasanton and also benefits from participation by members from Berkeley, Castro Valley, Danville, San Leandro, San Ramon and Oakland.
TVAPC Logic Model
The Tri-Valley Anti-Poverty Collaborative operates under a Collective Impact framework with a
unique structure which does not lend to traditional logic model representations. The TVAPC
promotes multi-sector collaborations through convenings. Thus, the input for the collaborative
is the human, social and financial capital of members. The activities of the collaborative involve
sharing data and discussing needs and methods for filling gaps to reduce the impacts of poverty in the Tri-Valley. The outputs of the collaborative are: (1) needs assessments, which are helpful
to the community at large for making decisions, (2) special events providing relevant data-
driven community education and improvements to service delivery and (3) special projects
addressing identified gaps.

Deonna Purrazzo Is a Jersey Girl Who Climbed the Pro-Wrestling Ranks and Made her 'RAW' Debut!
By Mustafa Gatollari
The WWE Raw Women's championship has been dominated by Becky Lynch for quite some time, but that doesn't mean the pro-wrestling organization isn't constantly looking to develop new talent. Each new fresh face that rises up the ranks has the potential to become the "next big thing," and Vince McMahon and co. know this, which is why they develop superstars like Deonna Purrazzo, who just "graduated" from NXT to RAW.
Who is Deonna Purrazzo from WWE's RAW?
A native of Livingston, N.J., Deonna trained at the D2W pro-wrestling academy (which no longer exists) and then with Damian Adams at the Team Adams Training Facility in Wharton, N.J. She also honed her skills at Ohio Valley Wrestling in Louisville, Ky. and after accumulating a nice toolbelt of moves, she joined Ring of Honor for house shows.
It wasn't long before Deonna was wrestling on televised matches for ROH, along with TNA wrestling and World Wonder Ring Stardom, and, WWE. Her appearances for the big show was mainly as a local "jobber," aka fodder for their bigger stars like Asuka, Emma, Nia Jax, and Bayley.
But Deonna proved to be a great persona and athlete to work with, and it wasn't long before she was offered a NXT contract.
The black and yellow brand is seen as the WWE's "developmental" show, where a lot of younger and "greener" stars are given a chance to show off what they got both in the ring and on the mic. Now that one of the WWE's biggest stars, Finn Balor is on NXT, that can help a bunch of other superstars get the chance to be on the bigger shows like RAW and SmackDown, which is exactly what happened with Deonna.
On Dec. 16, 2019, Deonna made her debut on RAW against Asuka where, in a pretty darn good display of professional wrestling, she succumbed to the Japanese star yet again. Fans were disappointed to see her lose, however, because they were so impressed with her abilities inside the ring.
Torture. #Virtuosa 👁
A post shared by Deonna Purrazzo (@deonnapurrazzo) on Dec 11, 2019 at 8:58am PST
YouTube user BlueTongue writes, "i've been waiting for Deonna's appearance on tv for so long, and when she finally does, she loses, i hope she goes to nxt and have good rivalities, she's so good in the ring." Conan Edogawa penned, "Deonna is talented, hopefully they should put her on TV more."
There's a good reason why Deonna probably lost to Asuka, however, as it seems that the WWE is priming the latter for a heel turn and a run for the women's championship as a potential rival for Becky Lynch. It certainly seems that the "bad guys" are taking over the organization, like Bray Wyatt.
I'd hate us too 👁💄
While Bray isn't exactly a total "heel" for the WWE and more of an anti-hero with some weird, and monstrous tendencies, it's evident that fans are demanding superstars that have a bit of a unique flair to their performances. That could be the reason why Becky Lynch, who despite being a "face" is so aggressive with her brand.
That was very clear to see in her recent match against the Kabuki Warriors where she and Charlotte Flair brutalized Asuka and Kairi in an ugly, drawn out bout that saw all four of the women sustain some pretty gnarly injuries, with Kairi and Becky getting the worst of them.
#Virtuosa 👁
A post shared by Deonna Purrazzo (@deonnapurrazzo) on Nov 18, 2019 at 12:44pm PST
Will Jersey Girl Deonna soon be winning matches against some of these top superstars now that she's on the RAW roster? Or will she go back to NXT with a bit more name recognition now that she's been on the main stage? We'll see what the WWE has in store for her in her next appearance.

How To Choose The Right Haircut For Your Face Shape
19th March, 2020 04:43 PM Categories: Fashion For Men
Frame your face right with our guide to the cuts and styles for every shape.
Like your clothes, haircuts aren't one-size-fits-all. But unlike your clothes, you can't take a crap haircut off after a day of fielding abuse from your colleagues.
Which is why – before going under the barber's scissors – it's worth knowing which styles best suit your face shape. After all, an extra inch here or a smattering of facial hair there can make all the difference.
What Face Shape Am I?
But how can you actually determine what shape your face is? It's simple. First, arm yourself with a flexible tape measure. Then, take the following measurements, recording each as you go.
Forehead: Measure across your face from the peak of one eyebrow arch to the peak of the opposite arch.
Cheekbones: Measure across your cheekbones, starting and ending at the pointiest part below the outer corner of each eye.
Jawline: Measure from the tip of your chin to below your ear at the point at which your jaw angles upwards. Multiply that number by two to get your jawline measurement.
Face Length: Measure from the centre of your hairline to the tip of your chin.
Once you've taken these measurements, note which is the largest of the four, and then compare this to the seven main profiles to find out where your face falls.
Oval: Face length is greater than the width of the cheekbones, and forehead is greater than the jawline. The angle of the jaw is rounded rather than sharp.
Rectangle: Face length is the greatest measurement. Forehead, cheekbones, and jawline are similar in size.
Triangular: Jawline measures greater than cheekbones, which measure larger than the forehead.
Round: Cheekbones and face length have a similar measurement. They are larger than the forehead and jawline, which also have a similar measurement. The angle of the jaw is soft and much less defined.
Heart: Forehead measures greater than the cheekbones and jawline. The chin is pointed.
Square: All measurements are fairly similar. The angle of the jaw is sharp rather than rounded.
Diamond: Face length measures largest. Then, in descending order: cheekbones, forehead, and smallest is jawline. The chin is pointed.
Haircuts For Oval Faces
Seen as the genetic jackpot for women, an oval may not be the most alpha of face shapes for men, but it's a good canvas for experimentation. Symmetrical and well-proportioned, an oval face shape does pretty much any hairstyle justice, so – you lucky boy – the choice is very much yours.
That said, there are a couple of minor caveats to ensure you optimise your ovalness. "The trick with an oval face shape is to wear your hair off the forehead to create some volume and angles on top," says Aveda master barber Stelios Nicolaou. "The most suitable style is a classic short back and sides and slightly longer on the top, with a side-swept parting."
You'll also want to avoid a forward fringe. "Too much heaviness on the forehead softens features and increases roundness of the face," says celebrity hairstylist Jamie Stevens.
And feel free to ditch the beard, says Ruffians creative director Denis Robinson. "You don't need facial hair to fill out any disproportionate gaps in this case, so feel free to go clean-shaven."
Haircuts For Square Faces
Considered the masculine ideal, a square face shape is characterised by a razor sharp jawline, even proportions and an overall chiselled appearance. Grrr.
Like the oval, it's a great foundation for most styles and is versatile enough to work with both extremely short and longer hairstyles – from buzz cuts to French crops to quiffs. Just bear in mind that the shorter you go, the more you look like you've just been conscripted. Not that that won't serve you well.
"Classic, neat haircuts complement a square shape best – think close fades, side partings and short layers," says Stevens. Some light stubble also gives the sharpness of your jawline a little welcome texture without blurring its line.
Haircuts For Diamond Faces
Narrow in the chin and brow, with width in the cheeks, the diamond is one of the rarer face shapes. Because of that, it has some specialist requirements to ensure it looks its namesake.
"Hairstyles that add width at the forehead and chin area are your best bet," says Stevens. "Fringes work well to add texture to the forehead, while longer styles that can be tucked behind the ears are great for accentuating a diamond shape's bone structure."
Don't, however, take the sides too short – given the width of the cheekbones, a hairstyle that's particularly short at the sides will only make your ears look bigger. Softer lines and layers are better for this face shape, working to soften its natural angles. Try a side sweep or deep side-parting, and consider growing a 5 o'clock shadow if you want to add some size to a narrower chin.
Haircuts For Heart-Shaped Faces
Wide at the temples and hairline, gradually narrowing to a point at the chin, the (fairly rare) heart face shape benefits from a few optical illusions to make it appear better proportioned.
"Avoid cuts that are very tight, as these will accentuate the narrowness of the chin and the width of the forehead," says Stevens. "A medium-length swept look is the safest bet." Mid-length and long hairstyles that are kept reasonably thin and light soften the heart shape's strong forehead.
Facial hair is also key in this case, adding some much-needed bulk to a narrow chin and jawline, says Robinson. "As with the diamond face shape, a beard helps a heart shape gain fullness in the lower, narrower half of the head."
Haircuts For Triangle Faces
Due to its narrow forehead and wide jawline, a triangular face requires the opposite treatment of a heart shape.
"A style with volume is king with this one," says Stevens. "Opt for longer, nose-length haircuts with fuller sides, which work to add depth."
As for the beard, the most you'll look good with is some light stubble. But really, given the prominence of the jawline in this case, it's best to steer clean-shaven. Grab the razor, fellas.

Irvine, CA – October 11, 2018 – Windes, a leading California accounting and advisory firm, has been named as an honoree in the second annual Civic 50 Orange County awards by the Orange County Business Journal and OneOC.
The award provides a local standard for superior corporate citizenship and showcases how companies use their time, skills and other resources to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business. This is the second time the Civic 50, a national initiative of Points of Light, has been localized for a specific market. Since 2012, the Civic 50 has annually recognized the 50 most community-minded companies in the nation as determined by a survey developed by True Impact. For Orange County, honorees were determined using True Impact's adapted national Civic 50 online survey that is independently administered and scored.
Companies were selected based upon four dimensions of their community engagement programs: investment, integration, institutionalization and impact. The Civic 50 OC honorees include businesses from three categories: small, medium and large (based on the company's number of local employees).
