This section describes how to use the Administration Console to connect to and manage message brokers.
Adding a broker creates a reference to that broker in the Administration Console. After adding the broker, you can connect to it.
Click on the Brokers item in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Add Broker from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on Brokers and choose Add Broker from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Add Broker dialog box (Figure 2–3) will appear.
Enter a name for the broker in the Broker Label field.
This provides a label that identifies the broker in the Administration Console.
Note the default host name (localhost) and primary port ( 7676) specified in the dialog box. These are the values you must specify later, when you configure the connection factory that the client will use to create connections to this broker.
For this exercise, type the name MyBroker into the Broker Label field. Leave the Password field blank; your password will be more secure if you specify it at connection time.
Click OK to add the broker and dismiss the dialog box.
The new broker will appear under Brokers in the navigation pane, as shown in Figure 2–4. The red X over the broker's icon indicates that it is not currently connected to the Administration Console.
Once you have added a broker, you can use the Properties command on the Actions menu (or the pop-up context menu) to display a Broker Properties dialog box, similar to the Add Broker dialog shown in Adding a Broker to the Administration Console, to view or modify any of its properties.
Now that you have added a broker to the Administration Console, you can proceed to connect to it.
Click on the broker's name in the Administration Console window's navigation pane and choose Connect to Broker from the Actions menu.
Alternatively, you can right-click on the broker's name and choose Connect to Broker from the pop-up context menu. In either case, the Connect to Broker dialog box ( Figure 2–5) will appear.
Enter the user name and password with which to connect to the broker.
The dialog box initially displays the default user name, admin . In a real-world environment, you should establish secure user names and passwords as soon as possible (see User Authentication); for this exercise, simply use the default value.
The password associated with the default user name is also admin; type it into the Password field in the dialog box. This will connect you to the broker with administrative privileges.
Click OK to connect to the broker and dismiss the dialog box.
Pause Broker temporarily suspends the operation of a running broker.
Resume Broker resumes the operation of a paused broker.
Restart Broker reinitializes and restarts a broker.
Shut Down Broker terminates the operation of a broker.
Query/Update Broker displays or modifies a broker's configuration properties.
Disconnect from Broker terminates the connection between a broker and the Administration Console.
A broker is distinguished by the connection services it provides and the physical destinations it supports.
Select Services under the broker's name in the Administration Console window's navigation pane.
A list of the available services will appear in the result pane (see Figure 2–6), showing the name, port number, and current state of each service.
Select a service by clicking on its name in the result pane.
For this exercise, select the name jms.
Choose Properties from the Actions menu.
The Service Properties dialog box (Figure 2–7) will appear. You can use this dialog box to assign the service a static port number and to change the minimum and maximum number of threads allocated for it.
For this exercise, do not change any of the connection service's properties.
Click OK to accept the new property values and dismiss the dialog box.
The Actions menu also contains commands for pausing and resuming a service. If you select the admin service and pull down the Actions menu, however, you will see that the Pause Service command is disabled. This is because the admin service is the Administration Console's link to the broker: if you paused it, you would no longer be able to access the broker.

Ryan Murphy's New Show Will Star 5 Transgender Women of Color as Series Regulars
"Pose" makes history the largest cast of trans actresses in series regular roles on any scripted series.

The cast of "Pose."
FX/Fotor
Ryan Murphy's newest show will delve into New York City's drag ball culture, with a stellar cast of five up and coming transgender actresses in series regular roles. "POSE" makes history for featuring the largest cast of transgender actors as series regulars on any scripted series. FX Networks, which produced other Murphy hits "Feud: Bette and Joan," "American Crime Story," and "American Horror Story."
Set in the 1980s, "POSE" looks at the juxtaposition of several segments of life and society in New York: the rise of the luxury Trump-era universe, the downtown social and literary scene and the ball culture world. Murphy co-created the show with Brad Falchuk and Steven Canals.
After a six-month nationwide search, "Pose" cast MJ Rodriguez ("Luke Cage"), Indya Moore ("Saturday Church"), fashion model and ball scene fixture Dominique Jackson, Hailie Sahar ("Mr. Robot"), and Angelica Ross (from the Emmy-nominated "Her Story"). All five are out, transgender women, and will be playing authentic transgender characters. Billy Porter, a Tony Award winner for Broadway's "Kinky Boots," rounds out the cast.
Murphy and Falchuk seem committed to authenticity, bringing consultants on from the ball scene as well as transgender writers and creatives.
"We are thrilled that 'POSE' pushes the narrative forward by centering on the unique and under-told experiences of trans women and gay people of color," said Canals. "Ryan has assembled a strong team of storytellers and innovators to collaborate on telling this important narrative. As a Bronx-bred queer writer of color, I'm honored to aid in ushering this groundbreaking show into homes."
Our Lady J ("Transparent") will write for the series, as well as New York Times best-selling author Janet Mock. Michael Roberson and Twiggy Pucci Garçon ("Kiki") will consult, helping develop authentic ball world stories to be featured in the show. Hector Xtravaganza, Skylar King and Sol Williams — participants in the ball culture world of the 1980s — will also serve as consultants.
Trans director Silas Howard ("BY Hook or By Crook") will serve as the Co-Executive Producer for the series.
Check out the fabulous trans cast below:

WP Job Board allows you to run a job board inside WordPress. It allows web developers, entrepreneurs, recruitment agencies and bloggers a reliable, high-quality job board solution.
How do I use PayFast with WP Job Board Plugin?
In order to use PayFast with WP Job Board Plugin, you will need to install the PayFast payment module for WP Job Board Plugin which is provided by PayFast.
Currency will need to be set to South African Rands (ZAR) on WP Job Board. See FAQs below for instructions.
The payment options will then be shown, select 'Sandbox', 'Debug On' and the 'Pay Now' button you prefer.
How do I add South African Rands (ZAR) to WP JobBoard?
You can add the South African Rand to the currencies list by adding the code below in your theme functions.php file.
To check your currently active theme, go to Appearances.
PayFast works on browser redirection and will redirect the user to PayFast for payment after they click the 'Pay Now' button on the Checkout page.
The user will be returned to the 'Front' page of your WordPress installation.
Where is my "base WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 folder"?
This is the root of your WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 installation. Where this is, depends on what system you are using and where you are hosting.
The easiest way to find this though would be to look for the WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 directory structure.
The base (or root) WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 folder will look similar to the image shown below.
Simply find the folder in your installation which looks similar to this structure and that will be your 'base WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 folder'.
I upgraded WP Job Board Plugin v3.6.0 and now "PayFast" no longer appears as a payment option!
When upgrading WP Job Board Plugin, the PayFast payment module files may be deleted.
You simply need to reinstall the module following the installation procedures above and the 'PayFast' options will reappear with your previous setting intact.

Q: Typesafe activator(Play with Java) eclipse command can't load Jars in Eclipse IDE I've been playing around with Play 2.0 since last few weeks. I used "play eclipsify" & imported the project to Eclipse. Everything went perfect. All the jars were loaded into IDE as "Refrenced Libraries" from Repository folder.
Now i've installed typesafe activator & using Play 2.3. I again used "activator eclipse" command. But now it doesn't load jars from the project. No refrenced libraries in IDE. It picks up all the jars, but from  /root/.ivy2/cache/further_path_for_each_jar. This leads to all the jars missing.
Apart from manually giving path of each of those libraries, What's the solution?
Sorry if re-post. I didn't find my solution anywhere.
Thanks & Regards. :)

A: you could try:
activator clean compile, then
activator eclipse.
sometimes I delete the project and re-import it.

A: I've tried like this to load the jars into my application for eclipse juno ide configuration and it's loaded all the jars and worked fine:
in command prompt: go to your application path and then go to your play installed folder and then give the entry like this:
play eclipse with-source=true .

Last month marked the release of 3, the aptly named third full-length album from tricot. The album was accompanied by a huge push from the band and their team at Bakuretsu Records, both abroad and at home. The domestic release features two versions: a deluxe art collaboration with artist Cho Hikaru and a minimalist CD with no lyrics booklet and simply the number "3" printed on a clear jewel case. The latter retailed for 1500 yen, putting it at about half the price of a typical major album in Japan, presumably hoping to reach the widest audience. They also partnered with Big Scary Monsters for a European release and Topshelf Records for an American release. Three music videos were made for this album, not including two previously released tracks ("Pork Ginger" and "Setsuyakuka") which already had videos. "Tokyo Vampire Hotel" was also a tie-in as the theme song to a Sono Sion (director of Suicide Club) Amazon Prime drama of the same name. What's more, the entire album is available for listening in full on YouTube. Their focus seemed to be to reach as many people as possible with this third album and they seem to have done that. 3 has gotten a ton of music press in the English-speaking world, with features on NPR and more, and in Japan it charted on Oricon at 20, the best since their debut full-length T H E, which hit 18. But how is the album?
For the first time since T H E, basically the entire album features only one drummer, Yoshida Yuusuke, who is also currently their main live drummer. The two exceptions are previously recorded tracks of "Setsuyakuka" (Abe Yuuma) and "Pork Ginger" (Wakiyama Kousuke, tabaccojuice drummer and contributor on A N D).
"Pork Ginger" was given away for free during Christmas 2015, but this is the first time since then it has been available for purchase.
Despite two songs having previous releases, "Wabi-Sabi" is the oldest song on the album and was written shortly after the release of T H E. It was never performed or recorded until now.
"Yosoiki" is the first track to feature (briefly) lead vocals from all three members.
From first to last, every track on 3 feels like an integral part of a bigger whole. There are no throw-away tracks. Every song feels like tricot, yet this is by far their most experimental album to date. Sukima is a staccato jazz swagger and Namu is a sugar-fueled pop nightmare. The whole album in general leans more to a pop sound than anything else so far and has few heavy-hitting rock tracks that were signature pieces in their earlier albums. Yet while the album has a great cohesive feel, two of the songs with the biggest impact are the two previously-released tracks, so it doesn't quite feel right to credit them to this album. T H E, with "Pool," "Omotenashi," "Ochansensuusu," "99.974C," "Oyasumi," and more, still feels the most impressive in terms of memorable individual songs. That said, 3 is a still great album. It has a lot in it for tricot fans, and may present a new angle for examination for tricot skeptics. I highly recommend a listen and think that this is a candidate for album of the year.
As a mild disclaimer, I don't have the widest taste in music in terms of genre, so saying this is a list of my favorite rock and pop albums of the year would have pretty much the same results. There were so many wonderful albums that came out this year, but the following thirteen are all ones that I've been drawn to and listened to closely and often. I don't necessarily love every track of every record, but they are certainly all worth a listen from front to back, and I hope someone will take an interest in something new from reading this list. All albums had to be four tracks or longer to count for the list. I've arranged them in order, but lining up your favorites is such a difficult task and on any given day, I feel like the ranking could be quite different. Next year it probably wouldn't look anything like it does now. The more you listen to music, the more your impressions change. But for today, this is how I feel.
This is energetic and fun. Pop punk with funny lyrics. The contrast between slightly shouty male vocals and the very clear, high female vocals really makes their songs stand out despite the relatively simple structure, and they have great harmonies. It's a three piece but the recordings have double-tracked guitar or sometimes keyboard, so it's a relatively full sound for punk.
Koresawa is the ideal JPOP-style singer-songwriter for me. Her songs are straightforward and basic in structure, but they are all catchy and feature wonderful instrumentation, with a mix of acoustic and electric guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and extra percussion, well-mixed and well-performed by Koresawa herself and session musicians. Her voice certainly also trends toward the more nasally and cute singing often found in mainstream pop (one of the two archetypes, the other being strong powerhouse ballad singers), but she sings quite well. Her lyrics are always adorable, and this 4-track EP is probably her best effort to date with four songs that you could just let go on repeat.
One of my favorites on the heavier end of alt rock since FLiP have gone on hiatus — a couple of their very early songs actually remind of me of FLiP quite a lot. They've since gone a different direction in their sound, but it's heavy hitting and poppy, with impressive guitar leads and a very distinctive voice from singer Chako. The guitar is even more impressive live while Hase is doing highkicks… I've sometimes seen them compared to tricot, though I personally don't see too much similarity (no changing time signatures and completely different guitar and vocal sounds). My favorite from the band is their first mini album, but their latest release (and first available in stores) is excellent and includes several rerecordings from previous CDs.
Definitely one of the bands following in the footsteps of Chatmonchy, but Regal Lily easily breaks out of that paradigm with their unique style. Honoka's slightly-out-out-tune, impassioned singing is wonderful and she makes liberal use of the chorus effect for her guitar (which is currently a Fender Mustang despite the single of this album being Rickenbacker). A strong indie character and some shoegazer influence, with quiet verses leading to huge choruses crashing down on you like a tidal wave with their ocean of sound. This CD is another first available-in-stores album and they seem well on their way to wider success.
The first Gozen CD to have more than a couple tracks on it — it certainly feels like their first really complete work. So much time has passed since their last recording that you can really feel the progress they've made. The mixing is better and a lot of the songs are ones they've been playing live for over a year, so they've been polished quite a bit. The lead track (with a music video) is the first song written by the band's new guitarist and sole male member, Hoshi. All the rest of the tracks are by vocal/keyboards Anisonin. It definitely feels different from the minor key haunting songs that Anisonin dreams up, yet still is not jarring from sound. Definitely a good overall CD that makes me excited to see what they'll do next.
This feels like a slightly more mature and slightly more experimental tricot. It's not a large departure from their previous music, mathy alt rock with cleanly overdriven guitars, but definitely feels like they want to try some different ideas. This may also be the reason for singer Ikkyu's solo project that started this year. With each track drummed by a different person, each song has a bit of a unique groove. As with most of tricot's releases, there were some songs that I felt were much stronger than others, but still no bad songs. This is one of the earlier releases from this year to make this list, which speaks to its staying power. Read my earlier full review here.
As always, it's hard not to be captivated by the dramatic vocals of Tatejima Yoko. She sounds like a singer straight out of the 30s or someone performing in a musical, yet the band is playing rock/folk. You definitely won't find this mix anywhere else, and is definitely a sound that's not for everyone, but I think it's completely captivating. Minohodo has several rerecordings, but the new songs are good, including the lead track "Pants Hill" — the live version of which I initially watched on YouTube and fell in love with the band over. They've changed one guitarist since their last music release, but with only a subtly different style, the music feels relatively the same to their last CD, Matryoshka-san.
This was one of my biggest surprises of the year. I'd never heard of this band, as they mostly play locally in Hokkaido, but they were in the Tokyo area for a short tour and I happened to see them play at a show I was at to see another band. The sound is so strongly UK rock that if the lyrics were in English you might not even suspect it's a Japanese band. The songs are short and punchy and completely satisfying.
One of the most relaxing, sweet, and wonderful albums I've listened to all year. These folky numbers, with just singing, acoustic guitar, and piano, are truly beautiful and the lyrics are incredibly touching. This album is a testament to the power of simple music beautifully crafted. Read my earlier full review here.
This is an interesting album for this list. I like all of the songs, yet nothing stands out strongly like "Sou" on Full Range. But the album, 10 tracks long, works so well as a complete piece that it forged its way all the way to #2 on my list. Funk-inspired pop rock with groovy basslines and funky lead guitar and interesting singing — often leaning more to talking than singing depending on the track. I found myself listening to Localism front to back for several days on end when it came out, and then even went back to re-listen to all of their old CDs too.
Another release from earlier in the year that managed to stay in my mind this whole time. Jidori is the best Zekkei has ever been and is a perfect five tracks of pop-rock with a little edge, a little groove, and impressive, addictive singing. It's a shame that bassist Uemaya is leaving the band in March. Hopefully they can find a good replacement and continue to put out amazing music. Read my earlier full review here.
In a follow up to Tadori ("picture taken by someone else"), released earlier this year on Jackman Records after being one of the 2015 winners of the RO69 JACK 2015 amateur band contest, in just four days they will release Jidori ("selfie") on Bakuretsu. "Saishin heiki" ("newest weapon") is the single track from this upcoming mini album.
Although tricot released a single online (Pork Ginger) during the winter, this is their first physical release in over a year. Not only that, but it's a return to the mini album format that most bands abandon after they start making full length CDs.
As with their previous release, A N D, KABUKU EP features multiple drummers. The first track doesn't actually have a drum track, but instead features an a cappella intro with multi-tracked vocals providing singing and percussion. The guitars come in later in the track. This song is a little bit experimental but also a pretty clear message: tricot may not have a permanent drummer but they are not an incomplete band.
Most of the other tracks' drumming is provided by fairly unknown indie drummers. Setsuyakuka is Abe Yuma of the band Norm (濃霧), Aaa is Kitagawa Akiyuki, who has various projects including Hello Micro Computer, and Aoi Kuse is Yoshida Yusuke, who recently drummed for tricot at two concerts. Plastic is drummed by Yuumi of FLiP, one of my favorite major label bands, which recently went on an indefinite hiatus. Abe's drumming really fits tricot to a tee. Kigatawa starts out his track with an interesting rimshot-based drum line. Yuumi's track is the most technically challenging, with some insane rhythms and tempo changes.
Overall, this five-track album is ambitious and a positive direction for the band. Although there were numerous elements adding freshness to A N D, such as the influence of the various drummers and a salsa number like Niwa, overall it felt like another chapter from the same book at T H E, with the tracks that didn't stand out right away blending into the mix. Every song on KABUKU EP feels a little bit new, a little bit different, yet they don't stray too far from tricot's core sound. The structure of the songs is exciting and Ikkyu's singing, especially on Setsuyakuka, really takes it to the next level.
I was watching a live stream broadcast of tricot's concert in Wakayama tonight. It was the last stop on their Yattokosa tour of Japan, where they performed at all 17 of 47 prefectures of Japan in which they had never done a show. tricot has always been a band that really shows they care about there fans and this tour is a great example of that attitude. They purposefully went to play shows that probably didn't sell very well compared to their other options so that fans who live far away could get a chance to see them.
During the encore of the show, they announced a new five-track CD entitled "KABUKU EP" to be released April 27th. None of the tracks have been released, although it's possible that Pork Ginger will be one of them. It will also be interesting to see what they do about drummers — will there be multiple guest musicians like the last album or will regular support drummer Miyo be doing them all? They also released a new art picture, shown below.
The first track is also on the third demo, but I imagine it will be a re-recording as well. They've released a new music video of papapa with the new recording.
There was a whole assortment of good music in Japan, but my favorite songs of the year were often from singles or were gems in otherwise less-impressive albums. Instead of a long list, I've decided to just post about my top three albums of the year. Each of these I've listened to over and over and they not only have some amazing stand-out songs but work as a whole; there isn't a single track I'd skip when listening. This entry is for the third best of the year.
After the departure of their drummer Komaki in 2014, there were some doubts as to how the sound of tricot would pan out. His complex rhythm patterns seemed essential to their mathy rock sound. However, they went on to release the single Break in the summer of that year, overly symbolizing a break from their previous incarnation and the start of a new era for tricot. Originally, the band was just the three girls playing with support drumming, so this was actually a reversion back to earlier days. Break was a strong single, with an melancholic sound and slower tempo; it's the kind of number that really grows on you the more you listen. The They solicited for videos of fans tearing paper on which they had written a word that they wanted to "break" (I'm in the video by the way!) Providing the drums on the single and for the vast majority of live shows after Komaki left was Miyoko Yamaguchi (Miyo) from Detroit7. Her main band isn't currently active but she does support drumming for a variety of other indie artists.
The followed up Break with a second single, E, in the spring. The music video is a dizzying spinning view of three drum sets flashing between scenes of each of three members playing drums and their own instruments. E sounds more akin to the tracks from the previous album T H E, but with some novel drumming from BOBO, heavy on the tambourine.
They recorded the album with the help of five drummers. In addition to Miyo and Bobo mentioned above, Toshiki Hata (ex. Tokyo Jihen), Kousuke Wakiyama (tobaccojuice), and Muneomi Senju are featured. Finally, there is one track from a previous recording session with komaki. tricot had a live stream where they played one song with each of the five drummers, and all joined in during the breakdown in Niwa, which they uploaded on YouTube as well.
Overall, the album is a strong effort. It has some real memorable tracks, with a relatively wide range of sounds from the cool Kobe Number to the intense Kieru to the dramatic Break. That being said, I find myself liking their previous album T H E more overall. Along with the impressive songs on A N D, there are a number of forgettable tracks as well. Still, I am quite satisfied and looking forward to see what tricot brings for their next album. They're already off to a great start with their new single Pork Ginger, which was one of my favorite music videos of the year.

After a motor vehicle crash, a 45-year-old man presented to a freestanding emergency department, where he received CT imaging. On administration of intravenous contrast, the patient experienced muscle spasms, coughing, and chest tightness. These symptoms spontaneously resolved within 30 minutes.
The chest CT demonstrated a 300-mL air embolism in the right ventricle of the heart. The patient was transferred to a quaternary care emergency center, where he was positioned in the left lateral decubitus position, was monitored with telemetry, and began receiving oxygen therapy.
Repeated CT imaging was obtained at approximately 12 hours postiatrogenic injury, which revealed that the embolism had spontaneously resolved. The patient was monitored for 24 hours and discharged home without any obvious immediate sequelae.
- Patient presentations of venous air embolism range from asymptomatic to neurologic deficits, chest pain, dyspnea, headache, and confusion, with the symptoms in part dependent on whether the embolism is in the right or left side of the heart.
- Cardiac arrest and respiratory collapse can also be the initial presentation of air embolism, which makes this diagnosis difficult.
- The lethal dose is estimated to be 300 to 500 mL, rendering the outcome of the patient in this case remarkable.
- The treatment of air emboli is largely supportive, including positioning the patient in the left lateral decubitus position and providing supplemental oxygen.

"The Girl on the Bus" is the twelfth episode of the thirtieth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 651st episode overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on January 13, 2019.

Plot
Channel 6 news opens up with the city's history of the founding and development of Springfield, which leads to the run down school bus Lisa and Bart ride to school every day. On the bus, Lisa wishes she had a close friend, then notices a girl sitting on her front porch playing a clarinet. The next day, Lisa asks Otto Mann to stop the bus, and he drops her off. Exploring the Springfield Heights neighborhood, she finds the girl's house and notices her crying through a window. Lisa introduces herself to the girl, whose name is Sam, and finds that they have much in common.

Sam's parents invite Lisa over to dinner, then ask her about her family. Wanting to not reveal her embarrassing family, Lisa lies about her them, saying that Homer is a sculptor, Marge is a chemist, Maggie is a precocious professor, and Bart does not exist. Sam's parents want to meet Lisa's parents, but then reveal that they are moving. When Sam's father drops Lisa off, she tells Ned Flanders to pretend that he is her dad. Eventually, Sam's family announces they are not moving, so Lisa then lies that her parents are going to Lithuania, not wanting her lies to be exposed. She then begins a short double life with Sam's family and her own. After a while, Marge catches her. Marge forces Lisa to invite Sam's family over to dinner and tells Homer to be on his best behavior.

At the dinner table, Homer uses the lines Marge gave him to talk, but then when Sam's father asks Homer about his life, Lisa finally admits she lied about her family. Sam's father admits to lying as well; he previously stated that he was from Nigeria, but he is actually from Cameroon. Noticing the sudden awkwardness, Bart invites everyone to hang out in his redecorated room, which he worked on secretly while everyone was focused on Lisa, who is ecstatic to have her story have a happy ending.

Over time, Bart's room becomes a hit, and he invites everyone to his room to use as a hang-out except his own parents, who are worried the situation is getting out of hand. Bart's appointed bouncer Nelson Muntz does let in Marge, who promises Homer she will talk to Bart.

Reception
Dennis Perkins from The A.V. Club gave the episode a D+ ranking, stating "Lisa's a tough character to write for. Not because her smarts make her better than everyone else, but because her awareness of her world's absurdities can't shield her from being, irrevocably, part of it. So again—degree of comedic difficulty noted. But this is The Simpsons. And say what you want about the good old days, but when there's a legacy of writing great Lisa stories and you botch one this badly, the failure is that much more glaring."

Tony Sokol from Den of Geek gave the episode 3.5 out of 5 points ranking, stating "'The Girl on the Bus' gets caught in crosstown traffic by the ending. While we always know the family is going to work things out, lately things have been working out too well for the Simpsons. The comfort of the smooth animation now couches comfier endings. There is no additional twist to the loving outpouring. It is a feel-good episode that should have felt a little bad. Lisa learns how exciting it is to deceive all the people she loves, but she can't sustain her enthusiasm."

Q: Recognizing strings of Time in ruby This isn't much of a problem, really, it's entirely out of curiosity.
For a program I'm working on I write a information to files at certain times (currently once/day, may change), but it's done in such a way that the time for each recorded piece of information is important. As such, every time I want to take samples and append information to the file, first I append the following:
file_out.write Time.now

As an easy way of remembering exactly when each write was made.
Now here's what I'm curious about: is there a way to check if a string received from the file ("cur_line = file_in.gets", for example) is a Time stamp?
The reason this isn't a problem is that my current method is simple regex:
if cur_line =~(/^(Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat|Sun) (Jan|Feb|Mar|Apr|May|Jun|Jul|Aug|Sep|Oct|Nov|Dec)/)

And seems to work perfectly for my needs.
(Due to the nature of the project, and the formatting of what I write, I know that there will be no other lines in the file that include any text of format '{Day} {Month}' so I stop parsing there. Just day or just month would be insufficient and lead to false positives).
Are there other, perhaps prettier, ways of checking for the timestamps? I won't necessarily use something else (especially if you say "well you can do X but it will cause performance to suffer greatly" (not that comparisons are a great concern for performance, in this project. I'd guess that the difference would probably be negligible)).
It's just something that struck me as interesting and something I guessed there might be cool ways of doing in Ruby. :)

A: You can just do Time.parse cur_line, which will return the current date if the time cannot be parsed properly. Not necessarily ideal, but Time.parse is pretty powerful :)
EDIT: Interesting way to do your regexp:
Before you loop over the file, declare the regular expression as so:
expression = Regexp.new("^(#{Time::RFC2822_DAY_NAME.join("|")}) (#{Time::RFC2822_MONTH_NAME.join("|")})")

Then, when you loop over each line, do: cur_line.match(expression). This will return nil if no match. An interesting (albeit longer) way to do this.

A: You could try to run the lines through chronic  or Date.parse, but I would bet that both of these methods are less efficient than using a regular expression.  The impact of that efficiency is completely relative to how much text you have to parse.

[China, Guangzhou, October 16, 2017] China Telecom China Co., Ltd. Guangzhou Research Institute and Huawei said results of the world's first 400GE test indicate next-generation large-capacity port technology 400GE possesses the qualities required for commercial deployment.
With the rapid development of HD video, cloud computing, and other services, backbone network traffic has experienced average annual growth of over 45%, creating challenges for backbone network bandwidth. As the next-generation port technology, 400GE can significantly increase backbone network bandwidth to help carriers cope with the explosive growth of data traffic. Currently, international standards organizations are accelerating development work on 400GE standards, which are expected to be released by year-end 2017. In 2016, China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute and Huawei established a 400GE joint innovation R&D team to develop live-network service requirements, application scenarios, standards formulation, and technology R&D, driving the standardization and commercial use of medium-and-long distance 400GE port technology.
"High-speed traffic growth has contributed to the rapid development of high-speed port technology," said Zhu Yongqing, IP technology research owner at China Telecom Guangzhou's Research Institute. "In the final release of the 400GE technology standard, China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute and Huawei performed the world's first 400GE port tests based on requirements of the live network, realizing a combination of network requirements and technical R&D. The test results reached expectations. In the future, we will cooperate with Huawei and other partners to promote development of the 400GE industry and maturation of the supply chain, ultimately driving the development of China Telecom's network and the national broadband infrastructure."
To promote development of the UBB industry and explore ways to boost service growth, the Ultra-Broadband Forum (UBBF) 2017 will be held October 18- 19, 2017 in Hangzhou, China. This UBBF will focus on: "New Growth with B2B", "Deliver the Video Dividends", "Accelerate Gigaband Society", "Towards 5G Era" and on the innovation of All-Cloud Network solutions. In this forum, Huawei and China Telecom Guangzhou Research Institute will demonstrate the achievement of the 400GE joint innovation to push development of the UBB industry.

Micromax is all set to launch Bharat Go, its first smartphone to come with Google's Android Oreo (Go edition) which is surely going to make noise in the market for sure. The company has also claimed that Bharat Go is the first smartphone in India to come with Android Oreo (Go Edition) which is why we are expecting that this phone will do good business at the Indian market.
Launched as an optimised version of Android, Go edition works even with smartphones that have only 512MB of RAM and has access to a slew of apps designed for low-bandwidth. It comes will apps like Google Go, Google Maps Go, Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Google Assistant Go, and Files Go. Everything you can see that it is coming up with some really decreased volume app. However, the company didn't say anything about the price of the phone and that is really secret for now.

League of Women Voters of Saratoga County (Saratoga County, N.Y.)
Founded in 1920, the League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that informs citizens about government, encourages their participation, and seeks to influence public policy through education and advocacy. One of nearly 60 local leagues in New York State, the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County (formerly the League of Women Voters, Saratoga Springs Area) formed in early 1965. This collection documents the operation and activities of this local league from its founding through 2010.


Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper isn't ruling out calling a special legislative session if a statewide anti-fracking ballot measure passes next week.
Unless the legislature delays implementation of it, it takes effect immediately upon the governor certifying the election. He has 30 days to do so after Election Day (next Tuesday).
On Friday Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said he has already reached out to both sides and will sit down with them — and the governor-elect who will replace him due to term limits — before calling a special session.
Gubernatorial candidate Walker Stapleton, a Republican, said during CBS4's televised governor's debate last month he would support a special session.
"I would pursue every redress possible for that job-killing measure," he said.
His opponent Jared Polis, a Democrat, said he wouldn't in the debate. He said if 112 is approved he'll preserve "the sanctity of the will of the voters" and allow implementation.

ComboBreakerKid's Favorite 102 Songs of 2012
Posted on December 18, 2012 by Very Warm
So. If you noticed in the title, there aren't 100 songs on here like most other lists you'll find. There's 102. Why, you might ask? Well because I just couldn't bring myself to round off the list at just 100. It bore too much on my musical soul. There were just so many good songs this year I didn't have the heart to leave some of them out. I had a list of about 130 songs that I simply adored, but I whittled it down to 102 while ranking 50 of them as my Top 50. I know there's something about quality over quantity, but THIS IS QUALITY. All of these songs are some of the best I've ever heard. Believe it.
So, in the first 52, it's just songs that I immensely enjoyed, all of them place in the same position in terms of rank. None of them should rank last or first in the first 52. Just alphabetically. There aren't any songs anywhere on this list that in your mind should rank as "bad" or "worst" or whatever. They're great!
In the TOP 50, the songs will be "ranked" in some fashion. They've all moved around several times, so the number it's listed as doesn't mean much. It mostly depends on what I was feeling at the time. Besides the Top 5, which has been pretty much stable throughout the entire year. So check it out, y'all. You can click the song names to direct you to a Youtube video of the song. Have a good time!

Alright, now here's a rough estimate to my Top 50 favorite songs of 2012! It was an insane year alright, a few of these songs came into the list within the last few days! They're super good!
50. Chromatics – Back From the Grave
– Perfect for night drives and cool, 80's themed escapades through the city.
49. Oneohtrix Point Never – I Only Have Eyes For You
– A beautiful, warped version of the classic song.
48. Allo Darlin' – Europe
– Some of the finest twee pop I've ever heard. Cutesy and fun.
47. Dan Deacon – True Thrush
– Catchy melody, some of Deacon's finest hyper pop work.
46. The Men – Please Don't Go Away
– Surf rock-esque song, very simple, fun, hard-hitting and catchy
45. The Gaslamp Killer – Flange Face (ft. Miguel Atwood-Ferguson)
– Wonderfully demented electronic music, features great strings.
44. Submerse – Tears
– Sweet future garage with a sweet vocal sample and Burial influences
43. Alunageorge – Your Drums, Your Love
– Pop song with great vocals and glitchy instrumentals, band better be HUGE soon.
42. Liar – Bruised Knee (ft. Borealis)
– Another great future garage/house hybrid with skittering claps and beats.
41. Mac DeMarco – My Kind of Woman
– Lazy, romantic, charming, and warm love song from this young slacker.
40. Kendrick Lamar – Swimming Pools (Drank)
– Party rap song that deals with alcoholism and family issues. Great beat.
39. Andy Stott – Numb
– Dark, oppressive, ominous, features ghostly female vocal sample. Beat will destroy you.
38. Schoolboy Q – Hands on the Wheel (ft. A$AP Rocky)
– Shameless party rap song about weed n brews and is CRAZY CATCHY
37. Moon Duo – I Can See
– Psych rock gem with repetitive, churning guitars and crazy solos.
36. Clams Casino – Swervin (remix)
– Chilled out hip hop instrumental with a riding beat, classic Clams Casino.
35. El-P – The Full Retard
– El-P at some of his finest production work and lyrical ability: hard and fun.
34. Menomena – Plumage
– Strong indie rock song with horns, self-deprecating lyrics, hard-hitting piano and guitar, and anthemic choruses.
33. Korallreven – Sa Sa Samoa (Elite Gymnastics Remix)
– Tribute to 90's rave culture plus a great Whitney Houston sample.
32. Dean Blunt – The Narcissist (ft. Inga Copeland)
– Perfect 3am song. Feels like someone lonely in the city, strangely soulful.
31. Tomas Barfod – November Skies (ft. Nina Kinert)
– Very unique, clicking, twitchy beats with great, flying vocals
30. Julia Holter – In the Same Room
– Baroque synth pop with porcelain vocals and very calming synths and harpsichord(?).
29. Hundred Waters – Visitor
– Fantastic blend of organic and artificial textures under gorgeous vocals
28. Hot Chip – How Do You Do
– Danceable, fun, 80's worshiping, electronic pop song. Super catchy, too.
27. Bat For Lashes – Laura
– Very minimal arrangement of piano & strings, showcases singer's great voice
26. Wild Nothing – Midnight Song
– Dream pop song with an absolutely KILLER hook. SUPER catchy.
25. DIIV – Doused
Driving, unrelenting, lo-fi dream pop with jangling guitars, mumbled vocals and DAT BASSLINE WOAH
24. John Talabot – Oro Y Sangre
Dance music that's super simple and gets to the point. Ultra dense and sweaty, it sounds like a running through a dark rainforest with fireflies buzzing around.
23. Japandroids – The House That Heaven Built
Borderline cheesy/awesome, this rock song is powerful enough to launch you out of your chair and go high five your bros to start a great adventure.
22. Father John Misty – Funtimes in Babylon
The ex-Fleet Foxes member shows that he can make some killer, heartfelt indie folk songs on this one. Does the sound better than most of FF's discography.
21. Laurel Halo – Thaw
Sterile, unsettling, and creepy, but very addicting. Obtuse vocals paired with oscillating, lifeless synths makes a deadly combination. Ann Arbor native, too!
20. Ty Segall Band – Wave Goodbye
Sludgy, crusty garage rock with hints of doom metal influence. Crushes anything in it's path with huge guitar riffs and sarcastic, sneering, and sometimes screaming vocal delivery.
19. Chairlift – Amanaemonesia
One of the finest pop songs I've heard all year: the vocals are great, the melody is catchy, it's unique (who's ever heard of 'Amanaemonesia?') and the synth work is fantastic too.
18. Perfume Genius – Hood
An extremely heavy and heartfelt personal account of struggling with gay identity and estranged love. Purely piano, voice and percussion can conjure up deep amounts of emotion.
17. Beck – I Only Have Eyes For You
Beck's rendition of the classic doo-wop song keeps the doo-wops intact unlike Oneohtrix Point Never's version, but adds screens of reverb over it giving a dreamy, nostalgic feeling to the vocals and melody. Super romantic.
16. Merchandise – In Nightmare Room
One of the best post-punk/new wave combinations I've ever heard, the singer's voice is dripping with Smiths-like romanticism, the drum machine adds industrial flair and the guitar just shreds in the background with killer, washed out riffs.
15. Mister Lies – I Walk
Spaced out RnB with strains of Burial influence in the instrumental. Feels like you're floating in space watching planets pulsate with light and galaxies collide billions of miles away. The smooth vocals are reverbed like crazy so the whole thing turns into a sensual echo chamber where spiraling, smoking synth trails weave in and out of the soundscape, leaving some sort of star system of soul.
14. Lemonade – Neptune
A great example of a pop/RnB hybrid that's been missing from radio play for the a while now. Infectious, water-influenced beat, yearning vocals, and a sense of class in terms of pop sensibilities. An expertly crafted pop song.
13. Jai Paul – Jasmine
On Jai Paul's second song released in two years, he's proven to us that he is the master of teasing. This song is ripe with sleek synths and echoing handclaps, held together by crushing bass and Paul's processed vocals. Please, Jai Paul. Give us some more material to feed on.
12. Purity Ring – Fineshrine
On this song Purity Ring is at some of their finest, in terms of dark warped beats and disturbing lyrical content. James' innocent voice singing about gutting herself to house her lover while glowing, black-lit beats pulsate around the vocals which really gives off an aura of unsettling darkness, but also a feeling of naive and passionate love. If this song were a fantasy landscape, it would be a dark, colorful lake surrounded by spooky trees leaking glowing sap into it.
11. Tame Impala – Apocalypse Dreams This was the first experience of new Tame Impala material after repeatedly listening to their previous album, Innerspeaker, and I was VERY pleased after I listened to this. It's a total psychedelic epic, with great buildups and overall flow that is completely unhinged at the end, letting all of the guitars and effects loose to create a cacophonous, swirling nest of psychedelic magic.
10. Grizzly Bear – Sleeping Ute
I think Grizzly Bear was the first "indie rock" band I ever got into, which was after they released their album Veckatimest in 2009. I loved the vocal harmonies and that I hadn't heard any music that sounded like that up until that point. Now, you listen around and tons of bands are producing that same Grizzly Bear sound to some extent. Sure it isn't that unique of a practice or that unique of a sound, but still. So when I first heard this song, the first single off of Shields, I was elated.
The raucous energy that this song holds is infectious, I've never heard anything out of Grizzly Bear's catalog that sounded like this. The guitars are great, the percussion is complex as ever, but the smallest detail in this song is what hooked me. Around the 2:30 mark, after Rossen stops singing there's a moment where they could have just played the constant riff, but instead they put some weird sound effects in background while the riff is going on, like rapid percussion and something sliding down a zipline and smacking into a wall. I don't know, this little detail in the song really put it on the "great" scale, I guess it just keeps up the feeling of chaos within the song, it's not just another song in their book. All these things are happening around them, including this song. I love the whole album, but that little detail in the background put this song above many others this year.
9. Frank Ocean – Pyramids
I was obsessed with this almost 10 minute epic of a song for the better half of the summer when it first came out. It was the first taste of material the public was offered dealing with Ocean's newest album, the fantastic Channel Orange. It was totally different from the stuff on his previous effort, Nostalgia, Ultra in the way that he's matured in many senses. For one, this song has multiple movements and features some of the best vocals and instrumentals on the album. The narrative of starting in the time of ancient Egyptians and then going to the present to a strip club kept me interested the entire length of the song. There are just so many creative ideas on this one song, it's incredible that the rest of the album is great as well, that all of Ocean's creativity wasn't all used on this one song. I read somewhere that Ocean isn't planning on putting out any more albums. To that, I'm pretty sad. I wanted to see if he had anymore tricks like this up his sleeve. Hopefully that was just a passing feeling.
8. Cloud Nothings – Wasted Days
Talk about Cloud Nothings reinventing their sound; this band went from churning out fuzzy, lo-fi pop songs to crafting giant, emo rock epics like this one where about six minutes of the almost nine minute length devoted to instrumental solos and wrecking ball style percussion. This song absolutely bleeds with angsty passion, as portrayed through the guitars and the final, screamed lyrics of "I THOUGHT/I WOULD/BE MORE/THAN THIS!!!" This is the second song off of the album, so it really sets the stage for what's to come later. It's an extremely well put together song and really impressed me after hearing their previous material, which is still good, but the progression is what got me the most.
7. Elite Gymnastics – Here, In Heaven 4 & 5 (CFCF Remix)
The original version of "Here, In Heaven" by Elite Gymnastics that was released last year placed relatively high in my Favorite Songs of 2011 list. I loved the breakbeat and heavily processed vocals and it was unlike anything I've ever heard before. Elite Gymnastics then remixed their own song and released it as "Here, In Heaven 2" which placed even higher. It was slower, more spaced out, eerier, and left tons of room for vocals and sound effects to echo in the cavern of a soundscape. This version, "Here, In Heaven 4 & 5," however, is something special. It starts off with a light, echoing piano line that sounds like it was cut straight out of a Hayao Miyazaki film. The piano holds some kind of fleeting, dreamy nostalgia, such like the movie "Spirited Away," which I love. The rest of the song keeps this calm, dreamy nostalgia alive with synth strings and piano until the end, where it builds up then goes into silence, only to have it resolve after about 15 seconds of silence. Bottom line, if you enjoy Miyazaki films, you'll love this song. If you don't enjoy Miyazaki films, you'll probably still enjoy this song.
6. Fiona Apple – Every Single Night
This song marked the triumphant return of Fiona Apple after her long disappearance from the public and musical eye and boy, I don't think she could have outdone herself on this one. This song really fit everything she was planning on going for in her album this year, The Idler Wheel…: minimal, radio hookless songs that showcase Apple's voice and unsettling yet beautiful instrumentals backing it up. After putting out albums where the production has been immaculate and there were tons of jazzy, pop flourishes on the whole thing, this really signaled the new change of pace this artist was going for after her absence. The lyrics are some of her best and the vocals are complex and wonderful, as is the rest of the album. This song came out first and it really left the most lasting impact on my taste this year. Thanks for coming back, Fiona.
5. Beach House – Wild
Beach House effectively melted my heart when I first heard this stellar song. It starts off with a cheesy retro drum machine that was actually featured on the keyboard I had when I was a kid, then goes into that signature woozy guitar lead that sets the stage for the rest of the song. Victoria Legrand's hazy vocals on this track are great per usual and the lyrics evoke a sense of childlike wonder and dreamy nostalgia. The whole thing feels like it is blowing in a flurry of romantic energy, much like the rest of Beach House's discography. It's a purely enjoyable experience full of swooning guitars, breathy vocals and calming, organ-driven synth textures.
4. Killer Mike – Big Beast (ft. Bun B, T.I. & Trouble)
In my mind, this is the epitome of huge, southern, trap style hip hop that has come out in recent years. Everything is perfect in this song. The El-P produced beat is nuts and matches the ultra-aggressive attitude through the expertly delivered verses of Killer Mike, T.I. & Bun B. The main chorus of this song sums the theme up pretty well: "POW MOTHERFUCKER POW" isn't really "subtle." It's explosive, unrelenting, banging and a FUN time. To quote Killer Mike, this really is the opposite of the sucker shit they play on TV. This is HIP HOP. This is RAP MUSIC.
3. Grimes – Oblivion
I'm pretty sure this song is my most played song in my iTunes library. That's saying something. I have a lot of music on there. Sure this song really came out last year but the official release came this year with Grimes' futuristic pop masterpiece Visions, so I think it's fair to put it on this year's list as well. What makes this song so infinitely listenable? Well it's a combination of things. The first thing that hits you is the squelching, 80's pop song worshiping beat that is bubblegum-pop catchy and stays constant throughout the song, minus part of the bridge. What comes next are Grimes' unique, airy vocals floating over the beat with a simple drum machine beat basically only providing a metronome to the song. The lyrics are ambiguous yet catchy and every added synth layer fits in perfectly. It's simplistic pop at it's finest, taking strains of pop songs from the 80's to the distant future and combining them altogether into some hyper-catchy pop masterpiece. Unbelievable.
2. Death Grips – The Fever (Aye Aye)
There are many reasons why The Money Store was my number one album of the year. One of those reasons was that the songs on it are SO FREAKIN GOOD that every single song could have placed on this list. Actually, many did. As you can see, I try and feature only one song per artist on this list, so at one point the song that represented Death Grips on this list included pumped-up "I've Seen Footage," the rambling "Hacker," and even the album opener "Get Got." But after looking at the play counts of the individual songs on the album, "The Fever" had the highest amount and I concluded that this song most accurately represented my interpretation of this album. Like most other Death Grips songs, this song includes a blasting, chaotic beat; frantic, powerful drumming a la Zach Hill; extremely violent lyrical imagery (electrocution, ankles tied to cinder blocks, bubonic plague, getting thrown from a moving car, etc) being told by the brutal flow of MC Ride. If you don't enjoy the song, I can understand. The lyrics are hard to discern, the vocals are grating, it's obtuse at all levels, but I don't think anyone can deny the hook in this song, along with how well the instrumentals fit with Ride's blasting flow. I love this song and this album. You should check it out if you haven't.
1. Burial – Rough Sleeper
Woohoo! Number one! Burial's "Rough Sleeper!" Well wait, wait a second… Woah woah woah. Hold up. So, what I'm telling you here is that a song that came out not even a week ago is my NUMBER ONE SONG of the ENTIRE YEAR? What about ALL of the other songs from the year? Didn't I say that the Top 5 has been pretty clear for MOST of the year? Well folks, you gotta believe it. My favorite song of 2012 came out on December 14th, 2012. Wow. But lemme back up this statement with a few facts.
The first being my number one song of 2012 has been charting as a Burial song for the whole year. For about 90% of 2012, my number one song was either "Kindred" or "Ashtray Wasp," both off of Burial's Kindred EP he released earlier this year. Burial is my favorite electronic producer and that EP floored me, in my mind it vamped his signature sound up to whole new levels while incorporating more dark, beat driven elements into the songs that upped the atmosphere and catchiness to the songs. All of the songs were pretty long, allowing the songs to have a lengthy narrative arc packed with transitions, recurring melodies or samples and keeping a constant theme. These songs are fantastic still and I was all ready to publish this list with "Ashtray Wasp" as the number one. Until this two song EP came out.
Second, this new EP may only have two songs on it, but it accounts for over 25 minutes of material. "Truant," the first song, is 11:45, while "Rough Sleeper" is 13:47, one of Burial's longest tracks to date. They both feature multiple parts and at times feel like they're comprised of completely different songs stitched together to make a whole piece, but they work together pretty well. Don't get me wrong, "Truant" is fantastic as well but "Rough Sleeper" manages to take some of the best moments from his entire discography and blend them altogether into one, magnificent, multiple parted piece of music.
It starts off signature Burial style: a light, dusty, crackling sound to emulate the sound of rain along with light organ in the background. A deep, pulsing beat finally comes in with warped, RnB vocal samples floating over the instrumental like a ghost, much like other Burial songs, everything seems pretty standard Burial at this point. So many other things are in this massive song after the first few minutes: a foggy saxophone sample, bells and chimes that sound like they were also sampled on Burial's 2011 Street Halo EP, clattering pieces of metal, reverbed-out organ, a heightened sense of urgency portrayed through the instrumentals, and a melodic arc I've never heard in a Burial song before.
A decent portion of this song doesn't sound totally depressing and devoid of hope. Most Burial tracks ride on the sound of despair, sounds associated with being broken up with, a family member or friend dying, and urban loneliness in general. These emotions are paired with gritty, mechanical beats that are a staple part of the style of music he is usually characterized in, which goes by many names: UK dubstep, grime, garage, 2-step, whatever you'd like to call it. It's dark, grimy and unforgiving. However, in this song, the tone not only elevates from dreary to uplifting, it actually makes me feel good listening to it. Burial's works are usually pretty daunting listens due to the amount of melancholy woven throughout the songs, but in this song it actually features a portion where you can see the sun shining through the rainclouds, which I've never heard before in a Burial song. The main driving sample during this portion is one of shimmering bells, that sound much like the ones that were at a playground that I visited frequently as a kid. There's other elements to this part that bring up the mood as well, like unoppressive beats and warm synth drones flowing in and out. It's a beautiful movement and it's great to hear something different from the producer.
This addition of serenity is great, but Burial takes no time to break that small wall of hope down, by ramping up the tempo and piling on one choppy beat after another. The amount of distorting fuzz is piled on as well, creating an air of confusion while these jittery beats come at you from all angles, along with muffled vocal samples and other disorienting sound effects popping out from the twisting, metal nightmare. Then, just like nothing happened, it ends. In the middle of a barrage of beats, it crumples up and ducks out, leaving the listener more confused as the next song starts to play (in my case it's "The Fever (Aye Aye)" and smacks the listener in the face.
So, if that massive explanation didn't win you over to listen to at least SOME of Burial's discography, I'm not sure what will. If you have listened to this and you're familiar with his past discography, what did you think of it? If you weren't familiar with him and you still listened, what did YOU think of it? I want your opinions, people! Also your opinions on the list in general! Did it please you? Confuse you? Anger you? Arouse you? Let me know! I enjoy the feedback, people!
And that's that. I tried my best to encapsulate my version of music in 2012, but if you happen to disagree with my own tastes, be my guest. Maybe I'm living a lie. Who knows!? Have a great holiday season, everyone!

As you can see there is many fields and if I try to execute:
select * from describe drft1_menu;

the obtained output is terrible. What have I to do tho show only some specific fields? (for example only the id, title and alias fields of all contained records)
Tnx
Andrea

A: For only one column (or similar-named columns) you can use:
SHOW FIELDS FROM `drft1_menu` LIKE 'id'

-for id column. But that may not answer the question in common case. For that there's INFORMATION_SCHEMA database (sample below for columns id, title):
SELECT
  *
FROM
  INFORMATION_SCHEMA.columns
WHERE
  TABLE_SCHEMA='database_name'
  AND
  TABLE_NAME='drft1_menu'
  AND
  COLUMN_NAME IN ('id', 'title');

-output will not look like DESCRIBE, but will provide same information. The good thing about this, however, is that you can specify only those description fields that you need (for example, only COLUMN_NAME and DATA_TYPE fields)

A: Select id, title, alias from drft1_menu

A: Use this query:
SELECT id, title, alias FROM drft1_menu;

A: So far as DESCRIBE is a shortcut to SHOW COLUMNS, you can use this last one and use its filter to filter to some pattern.
SHOW COLUMNS FROM drft1_menu LIKE 'pattern';

A: To get only specific fields from the table you can simply use
select SELECT id, title, alias,etc.. FROM drft1_menu;

You can use condition in the select query to obtain desired output.
For example if you need only id column and also the id should be less than 10,use
select SELECT id from drft1_menu where id<10

Millis Road is a fantastic school. The principal and the entire staff are dedicated on providing a safe and fun learning environment for all of the children that attend. The kids love the school and there are so many great events throughout the year for all of the grades to participate. We love it and are so glad that our kids were able to attend such a positive environment for such an important time in their lives, their elementary years.
Millis Road Elementary is one of the best elementary schools in Guilford County. From the principal to teachers, students, parents and staff, there is a sense of respect and pride in our school. We are one of the first public schools in the area to attempt raising private funds for a combination gym/auditorium - we have a "can do" attitude. Millis Road is part of a fantastic larger community of schools - both Jamestown Middle and Ragsdale High are newly built and/or renovated.
Millis Road is a phenomenol school! The principal is outstanding, he is the only principal that I have ever witnessed doing car rider line in the morning and afternoon. He is available, friendly, and in tune with the children that attend MRE. The teachers and staff are also excellent! They work hard to ensure that each child has a warm, nurturing, academic environment to thrive in and are welcoming to ALL children. The PTA is also hard working, involved and supportive of the children and staff. Overall, this is an amazing school!
Millis Road is a wonderful elementary school. Everyone is welcome, the children are happy and eager to learn, the PTA is phenomenal, the principal goes above and beyond the call of duty and the teachers are the greatest! Our PE teacher has to be the best in the state along with many other teachers. My oldest daughter is in 5th grade and has had a great teacher EVERY year. My middle child needs certain other resources and they too are helpful to her situation. They are two VERY different children and yet both of them are nurtured and taught so they both can excel. I volunteer very often and have opportunities to help daily. Our family is beyond happy with Millis Road. I am excited for my youngest to start there in a few years. We feel so fortunate to be a part of this fabulous school!
Every child that I know that attends Millis Road, has a GREAT experience. The teachers, Principal and volunteers all care deeply for each and every student.
The principle, teachers, and staff love teaching our children. Our parents are welcomed into the school to volunteer.
This is a wonderful school. It has a small town community feel to it, and the principal is extremely welcoming. My son has been pushed to achieve his very best. I read the other reviews, and felt compelled to write as I only have great things to say.
This school is outstanding! The teachers are excellent and the principal is wonderful all over! I love this school so much and so do my girls! One of my girls actually cried when she had to leave for summer break! My girls love the teachers and so do I! They really help each one individually! It is a great choice!
My son attended for half of his first grade year. We were new to the school system. We were not welcomed or oriented well at all. I wasn't given the opportunity to volunteer, the students were not disciplined well, my son's learning disability was not picked up on either. We were glad to leave the school.
From the outside, this school looks hideous. It is old and ugly. However, the quality of staff is good and the sense of community is outstanding. It is a smaller school than many of the surrounding elementaries. There are a few portables, but they are only used for extras like PE and music. No full-time classrooms out there.
I have been very disappointed with my child's education this year. I feel like she was not challenged enough. She is in the first grade and tested well in to the second grade level on reading. After that test she was not challenged on her reading anymore. Books stopped coming home for her to read,it just seemed like the teacher felt like she didn't have to work on reading with her at all. Overall I think the school is okay even though you have to be friends with someone important to be included in the loop. Communication is a huge issue this year. Parent/teacher communication is basically non-existant.Maybe my issues are with one particular teacher however, I don't seem to be the only one considering a different school for next year.
Looks are deceiving with this school! It may look old but it is wonderful! Teachers, Principal, parents, PTA.....are all superb!
