Being part of a person's health transformation is a privilege.
A few stories from some inspirational people.
The frustrating thing for me when I was carrying 18 stones (115kg) of weight on a 5ft 7 frame, was the compromise I was making on my lifestyle. From a young age I've always enjoyed the outdoors and loved adventures in the great outdoors. I've spent most of my adult life earning a living as an adventure sports photographer and cameraman. I work in an industry where I create imagery for people that sell healthy lifestyle products, and to an extent I'm expected to blend in with that image too. But my life of travelling and erratic eating patterns, combined with a lazy approach to eating the right foods, meant that over a gradual period of time I piled on the extra pounds and my body shape soon shifted. Before long it became very apparent that I'd drifted a long way from the healthy vibrant image I was endorsing through my photographic work.
Jon, in his 40s, had a metabolic age equivalent to that of a 63 year-old man when he decided enough is enough and his health had to come first.
On top of a generally slack approach to my eating habits, extra weight piled on after a serious motorcycle accident I was involved in. After my time in hospital I spent months on crutches and almost 2 years getting back to a point where I could think about being fully active again. I wasn't able to work in this period or enjoy the sports I previously loved. I substituted these things with eating and drinking even more than before and it wasn't long before I ballooned to a size that scared me.
I eventually recovered from my injuries and wanted to get back to being the active person I used to be, pursuing my sports as I did before the accident. I was still trying to live the active lifestyle in a body that just wasn't built for it. The effects of being so out of shape were having a big impact on the sports I was trying to engage in. Cycling with my mates meant they were forever waiting for me to catch up. Snowboarding with all that extra weight was putting extra stress on my knees and ankles. I really noticed it most on the slopes when I was making more stops to catch my breath and rest my legs compared with my friends. It meant less fun riding the mountain and more time for my friends hanging around and waiting for the chunky guy to catch up! But much worse, I was compromising my own safety when I was skydiving, my biggest passion. I got to a point where I was actually getting too heavy for my parachute and I even had to buy a bigger one to remain safe. Basically my parachute became too small for my body and my comfort zone. Granted, it would still open and save me, but bring me back down to earth at a frighteningly fast pace – putting me and others at risk. This experience was the wake up call I needed, along with a stern warning from my doctor around the same time. It was following a routine health check that I was called back to the surgery to discuss my weight. My doctor was concerned. My BMI was at a point where I was on a fast track to all sorts of scary weight-related diseases. Red flags came up for cholesterol, heart attack risk, diabetes, stroke and osteoarthritis.
Around the same time a friend had taken a picture of me at a wedding and I almost didn't recognise myself. When I looked at the picture I just saw someone in a body that looked ill. I couldn't relate to that person. I didn't like what I was seeing. Beyond the chubby smile I was putting on for the camera was someone who's body was suffering from years of lazy eating. I was literally eating myself to an early grave.
Seeing that picture of myself made me want my old body back. I stuck the picture on my fridge door as a warning to hopefully stop me from grabbing a sneaky cheese sandwich. Luckily for me I have some healthy friends that work in the fitness industry, and my good friend Matthew Nairn from Mint Fitness put me in touch with a clinical psycho-neuro-immunology (PNI) and nutrition practitioner he was working with and suggested I contact her, but only if I was serious about getting my health back on track. He told me that Adele Wolstenhulme could help me get back to a healthy weight and good condition, but only if I was committed. He told me she wasn't into 'faddy diets' using quirky magic pills or gimmicks or powders, but instead she advocates sensible, sustainable evidence-based approaches to eating and lifestyle change that would be the start of a whole new level of fitness to set me up for life. I knew that I was going have to dig deep and was going to have to find a new level of commitment and determination if I wanted to really make the change. I pondered over it for a while, and when I felt ready to commit, I made the call.
I met with Adele who explained the simple, yet thorough approach she uses to reverse the adverse effects of poor diets like mine using a combination of clinical PNI principles and Metabolic Balance®. I signed up to have my body evaluated using blood testing and bioimpedence measurements. I already knew that I was out of shape, but when Adele gave me the results I was shocked to learn that my metabolic age was equivalent to that of a 63 year old man! She determined that my liver was in pretty poor shape and I was definitely on track to an early grave and a miserable time getting there unless I was prepared to make some changes and commit to myself.
It wasn't just the fact that Adele had shown me bare facts in black and white detailing my deteriorating body that shocked me. I was already fed up feeling the way I was. Some people kid themselves they're content being out of shape and say the benefits of eating a care-free diet outweigh the time it takes watching what they eat and getting on top of their eating habits. I was not one of those people and Adele knew it, which is why she agreed to coach me back to health. I followed her instructions and fully committed to the short 90-day metabolic reset. I was amazed at how quickly I started seeing results. Pounds were literally melting off my body while I slept. I was impressed at how fast my metabolism started getting back to peak performance, simply by eating the right foods at the right times during the day. In just 3 months I transformed my body from 110kg at the end of October 2013 (with a waist measuring 110cm and hips at 114cm) to 88.8kg in January 2014 (waist down to 98cm and hips 103.5cm). It was a strict eating plan, which meant I had to follow it to the letter, but it was certainly doable and I'm so glad I did. I even managed to stick to the plan when oversees on various trips. It just meant I had to plan ahead and be a bit more organised than usual, but it was easy to stay on track and keep motivated when the results were so worth it. The planning and organising was a small price to pay for the amazing transformation I was going through. It's set me up for life with a new approach to food, and the benefits are huge. I feel so much better in my mind and body. I have so much more energy I'm able to put to good use. People around me see the difference and I get comments and compliments all the time. Some think the results are so drastic they think I've had surgery. Others don't even recognise me!
I'm applying my new found zest to areas in my work and sporting life. I've got rid of my chunky boy parachute and replaced it with a much less embarrassing smaller one. I've had a massive clear out at home and all my big boy clothes have gone. Those expensive shirts I grew out of years ago, but didn't want to throw away, now fit me perfectly. It's like I've been given a second chance to enjoy living my life without the compromises. Various doctors who've seen my results have also congratulated me. One radiologist who inspected my liver in an ultrasound was amazed when I told her my weight just a few months earlier. She was gob smacked at the healthy state of my liver, and said she was expecting it to be in a much worse state than it was. Adele my cPNI therapist / nutritionist puts it down to a determined effort to return my body back to the original way of living, from an evolutionary biology perspective. Basically this means eating the way we're naturally designed to eat, which means not eating little and often as so many of us do when we snack mindlessly. Whenever I made that trip to the fridge for that extra chunk of cheese I wasn't really hungry. It was just a habit I had to break. We just need to regain our natural hunger and thirst feelings Adele explained, and stop the snacking. Just eat when we're hungry and drink when we're thirsty. Makes complete sense! It's all based on our ancient physiology from hunter gather days. We haven't changed much as humans since then, but fast forward a couple of hundred thousand years, and the way we eat and move certainly has. All this has helped me to 're-set' my metabolism, as she put it, so I can use fat for fuel much more efficiently, instead of my body always being in feeding mode, and storing fat all the time. You can't use fat for fuel if you're constantly fuelling the body's tank.
Loosing the bulge allowed me to fix a hernia in my belly button that I've struggled with for years. I was previously denied the operation because I was too over weight and had to live with the tear in in my stomach wall. As soon as my doctor saw my weight loss in just 3 months he was actually excited to refer me for treatment. The actual surgeon who performed the operation was equally impressed at the lifestyle change I had made and wanted to know how I did it. I went on to explain the PNI / Metabolic Balance® process Adele put me through, which he's now interested in learning more about to see if its something he can recommend to more of his own patients.
Today I'm enjoying living at a weight I feel excited to be at. I'm not falling faster than the rest of my friends on sky dives and I'm looking forward to snowboarding in the mountains this winter without getting out of breath or worrying about how long my friends have to wait for me. I'm now at a weight where I enjoy life to the full, where my mind can work at its best with a new enthusiasm for life. I'm currently enjoying working as a free-fall cameraman in New Zealand – something I could not have considered a year ago. And I'm already planning new challenges for the rest of the year and beyond. I've signed up to run a marathon and I'm going to be embarking on challenges that Adele is setting for me, including a high-altitude mountain climb, along with endurance cycle rides and some adventure racing. My goals are ongoing and I want to get my body into a state where I can take on bigger and greater challenges. These are all things that I would have wanted to do this time last year but my body just wouldn't have allowed me to do. For me there's no going back. I've embarked on one heck of a life changing experience and I have no plans to turn back the clock. Life is for living and that's exactly what I'm planning on doing from here on in.
Jacqui's health transformed in weeks.
I met Adele via my trainer Matt at Mint Fitness a few years ago. He recommended her after I complained of feeling constantly tired and struggling with weight issues. I was also suffering a bit with low mood and other symptoms. I had an initial session with Adele and she looked at all areas of my life, including emotional well being, my diet and how often I was eating and exercise. Other areas of nutrition and lifestyle were covered too, and I learned a lot. Adele then produced a personal programme for me to follow. After a few weeks I started to feel a lot better, and then got completely well, full of energy and feeling great! I have followed the way of eating she recommends as a way of life. This combined with my training with Matt has meant I have lost weight and feel great all the time. If I have any health issues I check in with Adele, who normally has a simple and healthy solution. Adele is lovely, and takes her work incredibly seriously and has changed my life really. I can't thank her enough.
I discovered exercise and dieting from about the age of 15 and this became a way of life for me. I got married, had 2 children (lost all my baby weight twice, which was a challenge on its own). When I was around the age of 39 years old, it happened. For absolutely no reason I could understand, I baffled my gym instructor, my doctor and my slimming class leader, because my weight and my BMI were increasing slowly, but surely. There didn't seem anything I could do to change this. I felt out of control. Although people I spoke with said "oh its probably your age", I would accept this as a factor, BUT not an excuse.
After having the usual blood tests, hitting the gym hard and eating less and less, this continued on and off for the following 3 years where I felt I was just going around in circles. I can now admit it was effecting my whole lifestyle. I never wanted to go out with friends and made every excuse in the book. If I did I would always drive to avoid drinking. I would dread Christmas and family holidays just because of the additional weight I would put on. A two-week holiday, or over Christmas, I could put a stone on without trying.
I have been with my husband for 20 years, and although he can be really supportive I'm sure there have been times he would have loved to say: "Oh Deb stop going on about dieting and weight". But he never did once. What he did say was that he loved me for me, not how I looked. BUT that was far from what I really wanted to hear. It's the same old story. If your not happy and confident with yourself then nothing is going to make you change your mind – Nothing!! Or No one!!
The final straw for me was perhaps when I went to my GP surgery for some help, advice, direction or recommendations, and they didn't want to help me. I didn't tick a box as I was neither "anorexic", nor "excessively obese". I asked if they could recommend me to a dietician or nutritionist so I could have a better understanding of food, but they wouldn't help. Oh apart from the doctor's final flippant comment while collecting my bag as I was about to leave.
She said: "Have you ever tried smoking?" I quickly turned around and said: "No, why?" I asked. She added: "Its just that people who do smoke don't ever seem to have a weight problem". I was so shocked a professional person, a doctor, suggesting I take up smoking to lose weight!
Then, at a company conference in 2011, we heard a 60-minute talk from Dr Dorian Dugmore about well being within the workplace. Wow, he was so good, extremely inspirational and motivational, so much so that I signed up for the programme (along with 399 others) instantly there and then. Over the months that followed we had a process of tests and assessments, then on the final part of the programme we spent a day with Dr Dugmore and others. They talked about the importance of well being, and how stress effects you at work, health, fitness, etc. When we broke for lunch I took the opportunity and spoke with Dr Dugmore and explained all of the above to see if he could give me any advise. I asked if he could recommend a nutritionist. "Adele Wolstenhulme," he replied. He said: "If Adele can't help you, no one will". That was it there and then. I was given my first glimmer of hope.
Now unfortunately for me Adele lived and practiced in London at the time, but with her having family in the north and her travel schedule, this wasn't a problem for her. The rest is history as they say. We met, we talked, I talked, Adele explained, but most of all (although Adele has probably heard similar stories to mine 100 times or more) she listened. And then she explained 'Metabolic Balance®' in great detail. I'm not going to say the programme is easy at first, because it isn't. However, if you are ready for a challenge, are focused, and want a life-changing healthy eating programme, this is for you. And Adele was there to support me every step of the way.
Although Adele told me how effective this programme was, nothing really prepared me for the amazing results that followed. In just 12 weeks I lost 22lb, 31cm from my waist and 15cm from my hips. AMAZING! Metabolic Balance® HAS changed my life, improved my confidence, given me a sense of good health and well being, totally changed my mind set on foods, oh and done wonders for my relationship with my husband! In fact it has done everything Adele said it would and everything I wanted too. So Adele, the BIGGEST thank you for helping me get my life back on track and becoming a friend for life.

Song-Song couple of Descendants Of The Sun fame split
South Korean celebrity couple Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo, who tied the knot in 2017 after playing a sizzling couple on-screen, have announced their split.
Song Joong-ki, 33, who gave a statement to fans through his lawyer, said he hoped for an amicable divorce.
He officially filed for divorce from Song Hye-kyo, 37, at the Seoul Family Court on Wednesday.
The statement shared with online portal Soompi read: "Hello. This is Song Joong-ki. First, I'd like to apologise for delivering this unfortunate news to the many fans who love and care for me.
"I have begun the process of filing for divorce from Song Hye-kyo. Rather than denouncing each other and arguing over who is to blame, I hope that the divorce process can be wrapped up amicably.
"I ask for your understanding in regard to the fact that it is difficult to discuss the details of my personal life, and I will recover from my wounds and do my utmost as an actor to repay you through great productions in the future. Thank you."
Song Hye-kyo's agency, United Artists Agency, also released an official statement yesterday about the divorce proceedings, saying the split was due to differences in their personalities.
Five things about the couple
• Song Joong-ki, 33, shot to fame after playing a mischievous student in the popular historical drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010). He was also part of the original cast of Running Man when the variety show debuted in 2010. He left it in 2011 to concentrate on his acting career.
• Song Hye-kyo, 37, catapulted to fame after playing half of a star-crossed couple in the tearjerker Autumn In My Heart (2000), which starred South Korean hunks Song Seung-heon and Won Bin. She has also starred in hit television shows such as Hotelier (2001), All In (2003) and Full House (2004).
• Song Hye-kyo famously fell for South Korean heart-throb Lee Byung-hun on the set of gambling drama All In, in which they played a couple. When they split up in 2004, it was the hottest story in South Korean show business.
• Song Hye-kyo dated another South Korean heart-throb, Hyun Bin, after they played a couple in TV series Worlds Within (2008). They broke up after he enlisted for mandatory military service.
• The on-screen couple of the hit military romance Descendants Of The Sun (2016) announced in July 2017 that they would tie the knot on Oct 31 that year, after previously denying they were dating in real life.
Lim Ruey Yan
A representative of the agency said in a statement to Soompi: "We find it unfortunate that we are greeting you with unhappy news. After careful consideration, actress Song Hye-kyo and her husband are taking the first steps towards a divorce.
"The reason for the divorce is differences in personality, and because the two were unable to overcome their differences, they were forced to come to this decision.
"We respectfully ask for your understanding in regard to the fact that we cannot confirm any further details out of respect for the two actors' personal lives. Additionally, we urge you to refrain from making scandalous posts and speculative comments."
Earlier this year, South Korean media had speculated that the Song-Song couple, as they are most popularly known, were going through a possible divorce as Song Hye-kyo had appeared in public without her wedding ring.
During his press conference last month for his latest drama, Arthdal Chronicles, Song Joong-ki seemed to have put the rumours to rest after he spoke about how his relationship with Song Hye-kyo has changed since their marriage.
He said: "Nothing changed too drastically, but I do feel like I've become more emotionally stable as a result. I feel like all married people would understand this feeling."
Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo married on Oct 31, 2017, in an intimate outdoor ceremony at Yeong Bin Gwan, a Korean-style banquet annex to The Shilla hotel in Seoul.
Despite tight security, photos of the couple on a lawn – she, in a low-cut white gown, looking at him – surfaced on Weibo.
According to reports, the groom was in tears before he said his vows. The bride also shed tears during the ceremony.
It was reported that they had their honeymoon in Europe.
The celebrity couple met while filming 2016 hit drama series Descendants Of The Sun. He played special forces captain Yoo Si-jin, while she played doctor Kang Mo-yeon.

Thailand News | Police and road authorities ready to accommodate holidaymakers
Police and road authorities ready to accommodate holidaymakers
Police have coordinated with various organizations to ensure safety for holidaymakers and their homes.
The Metro Police Bureau, has launched a civil-state home safety program for vactioners in Bangkok to protect their homes while they are away.
Deputy National Police Chief Pol Gen Chalermkiat Srivorakhan traveled to Suthisarn road on Monday to observe the implementation of the program which is being carried out in a traditional way, with the addition of a sense of fun.
The deputy chief also visited the home of a famous Youtuber, Bie the Ska, who joined the program, to promote the scheme. Participants are required to install a red mailbox which is provided, on an outside wall of their house. On its surface the mailbox carries a QR code, which enables the downloading of a Police I Lert You application into the homeowner's phone.
Both the QR code and the mobile application will allow home owners and police officers to stay in touch during the long holiday period. The Police I Lert You application has already been downloaded more than 100,000 times since it was launched.
Meanwhile, the Department of Probation has jointly launched a road safety campaign with the Don't Drive Drunk Foundation, the Royal Thai Police and the Metro Police Bureau.
Those already on probation for driving misdemeanors will be asked to help the police assist other drivers during their journeys. Employees at the Department of Probation have also been told not to break any traffic laws or risk facing serious legal consequences.
In addition to road safety, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation and fire stations in Bangkok, are to be on standby around the clock during the Songkran holiday period to prevent fire-related accidents.
Meanwhile, Transport Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith released a road-safety mobile unit to urge drivers to drive slowly and turn the headlights on throughout the Songkran Festival in an effort to curb road accidents. The mobile unit will also be deployed in 77 provinces across the country during this period.
To ease traffic congestion, Motorway Number 7 and Number 9 will be open free of charge to divert commuters away from other major roads. A team of mechanics will also be on standby to provide rapid assistance to any vehicle whenever needed.
Any current construction on roads between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima and between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi will be temporarily suspended starting from today to ensure the traffic flows smoothly during the holidays. For more information on traffic updates please call the Department of Rural Roads at 1146 or visit www.drr.go.th.

Sabra Willner, CMO of Lenovo Software on Being a Modern Marketer
by Jenna Sindle July 26, 2019
written by Jenna Sindle July 26, 2019
Not so very long ago, marketing was the department that wrote and readied brochureware, shipped the booth to the next show site, and was far too often chided by the sales organization for not providing enough qualified leads.
But no longer!
According to Sabra Willner, CMO of Lenovo Software, the role of marketing hasn't so much evolved, as skyrocketed into a new era that is "oh so different from the past." What has driven this change from Willner's perspective is the availability of information generated by the customer and delivered to the marketing organization via their marketing stack of choice.
Sabra shared that in the last five years marketers have moved from 'we hope you like it' to 'we know your preferences and we want to be your guide on your buyer's journey' all because of the abundance of data. "It's a tremendously exciting time because all marketers can live and breathe data, but it's also a little intimidating as the expectations of sales leaders, CEOs, and even shareholders, rise with the increased investment in marketing infrastructure," she explained.
But far from being intimidated by these new opportunities for marketing departments and marketing leaders, Willner has embraced the change and forged a new path. "In marketing, we don't just make glossy brochures anymore, we don't just handle a certain aspect of the customer journey, we've come to recognize that the customer journey isn't linear. They're ping-ponging everywhere between the product, their interactions with sales, the customer success team, and back to marketing," she shared. "Data provides an extraordinary opportunity to tap into that non-linear journey."
This focus on the customer journey demands a new approach. As Willner explains: "It demands greater collaboration and alignment across teams to enable us to better meet customer expectations. We're not just about supporting sales and generating leads; it's about creating the experience, making the product sticky, making sure that the value is delivered throughout pre- and post-trial and pre- and post-purchase phases. That messaging that we start at the top continues to go throughout the journey."
Marketing technology or martech – often referred to as 'the stack' – has been essential to Willner's success at realigning the role of the marketing organization. "Funding go-to-market plans is still an important part of the modern marketer's budget, but the technology infrastructure and tools that we use as a marketing organization are steering our investments in new directions – and demanding more money."
But with more than 7,000 different marketing tools available it's hard to know which ones will gather dust and which will end up doing great work for the organization. Willner found her path forward by creating a cross-functional team made up of representatives from marketing, sales, and product/IT.
"We needed to bring the key stakeholders together to ensure our priorities were in order. We needed product/IT to understand if these tools would integrate with our existing infrastructure, we needed sales to make sure we were creating data that helped them move the needle, and of course marketing, since we are the ones using the tools," she said.
In doing so, Willner not only built a coalition of stakeholders that made executive buy-in easier, but also helped establish best practices around technology strategy, architecture, and workflow that will guide future martech investments, reduced redundancies in technology investments, and reduced marketing spend.
"All marketers have access to an abundance of data, but it's how they manage, analyze, and apply that data that creates a strategic edge," she said. "It's all too easy to get distracted by a new shiny object because it can take your raw data and offer one more piece of insight, but you have to take control of the stack to be successful."
With the changes that lie ahead for marketers as they hone their skills at connecting engagement to demand and owning the customer experience in a data-fueled environment, building the right marketing stack will be the key to success. "Marketing is a unique combination of art and science. In my experience the 'art' side has always been the strong suit of marketers, but those marketers that take the time to learn the 'science' of the field and invest in the right tools will deliver truly remarkable results."

CELINA — The rivalry between Monterey High School and Clay County, a rivalry that has produced some of the more exciting sporting events in District 6, 1A over the years, came to life again Friday when Monterey visited CHS. Clay County drew first blood in the race to the title this year as it claimed easy wins to sweep the basketball doubleheader.
Monterey jumped out early in the boys' game, but watched as the Bulldogs rallied in the second half to earn a 68-40 victory. In the girls' game, Monterey fell behind early and could never get going as the Lady Wildcats lost 88-54.
The Monterey High School Wildcats, trailing 33-27 at the half, looked to get back in the game in the second half with a smothering defense and a quick pace on offense. However, the Bulldogs turned up the intensity on their own side and created separation.
"The foul situation tonight created some of our issues," said Monterey coach Adam West, whose team fell to 14-6 and 3-2 in the district,. "When we went in the second half, they really attacked the middle of our zone and did a good job with it. I don't think we were as active as we were in the first half, probably a little tired.
Clay County, 15-2 and 5-0 in league play, opened the third period on an 8-6 run, allowing MHS to score only on a free throw by Randolph, a 3-pointer by Jaxson Billings and a basket by Randolph, to make it 41-33 with 3:03 on the clock. The Bulldogs led 45-34 as the quarter came to a close.
Things didn't get any better for Monterey in the fourth period. Clay County ran off a 9-2 surge to make it 54-36 with 5:45 to go. Monterey answered with buckets by Paxton Payne, (Peyton) West and Noah Saylors. However, the Bulldogs maintained their distance and rolled to the 28-point win.
Randolph led Monterey with 10 points, Payne had nine and Peyton West, Billings and Saylors chipped in five each.
Things got out of hand quickly for the Monterey High School Lady Wildcats Friday in their district battle with Clay County. Monterey, 0-16 and 0-5, fell behind 23-9 after the first period and the deficit increased to 23 points in the second quarter as Monterey trailed 49-26 at the intermission.
Katelyn Morehead led Monterey in scoring with 17 points. Anna Hudson tallied 12 points and Daniella D'Agostino chipped in 11. Hannah Mueller scored six points, while Faith Walker tallied five and Grace Clouse scored two. Elizabeth Pierce had one.
Strong scored 24 points to head the Clay County, 13-5 and 4-1, offensive effort. Arms added 23.
Monterey will be back in action Tuesday when the boys and girls host Pickett County. The first game is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Anna. Atticus. Austin. Aaaaand Lillian.
It's kind of perfect that her name doesn't belong in the family of A's, because Lillian isn't sure she was placed with the right family in the first place. Baby smiled at me a few times though, and I am HONORED. Atticus? Love bunny. Favorite activity with mom is reading books. We love his "I'm gonna do it!" face as he ran at the soccer ball. Anna's curls were on point! And Austin made our family hammocking venture a ridiculous success.
We started off by reading. Already Lillian is giving me looks. But Anna and Atticus are being tigers so that's good.
We decided to play in their reading and game room (totally digging the teal paint everywheres).

IBM MAINFRAME: How to Clear all TSQs during CICS start up?
How to Clear all TSQs during CICS start up?
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2017 9:46 pm Post subject: How to Clear all TSQs during CICS start up?
We want to clear all TSQs during CICS start up everyday(we don't need their contents for the next day). We have a lot of programs that use TSQ but we don't want to change thousands of source codes, so, What is the best way to do it in operational environment?
Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2017 10:09 pm Post subject: Reply to: How to Clear all TSQs during CICS start up?
Why not use START=COLD? Cold starting CICS removes all TS queues, among other things.
Posted: Tue Jun 27, 2017 2:28 pm Post subject: Re: Reply to: How to Clear all TSQs during CICS start up?
Thank you Robert. I was looking for a command that purges all TSQ contents before warm restarting of CICS. However, I didn't think of COLD starting, It seems a good and easy solution. I don't know whether COLD starting of CICS everyday has any bad consequences or not. But in general this is a good idea. Thanks.
Thank you Rohit. It was a good reference. Now I'm trying to weight up between CICS cold start and automatic deletion. In our environment during midnight maybe we need to delete a large amount of TSQs(thousands..). It seems to me cold start is the easiest way of deleting all TSQs.
We were trying to delete TSQs using Cold and even Initial start of CICS but it didn't delete our TSQs. We do have TSQ Server on Coupling Facility, then how we can delete these TSQs?!!
Write programs that clear up the mess they create, not sloppy Windoze-comparable garbage!
So the answer to your question is to live without being able to delete them, write a program to delete them one by one, make the applications delete them once done with them, or get them out of the coupling facility so CICS can delete them. As they are currently set up, you have no automated (nor easy) method to delete the TSQs.
You may be able to remove them by using the shared TS queue server command CANCEL (which is a console command - see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.2.0/com.ibm.cics.ts.doc/dfha2/topics/dfha2_cancel_commandoptions.html#dfha2ec); the manual is unclear about the contents of the TSQs after the CANCEL command is issued.
What I would want to know at your site is who decided to use a temporary storage server? And were not the advantages and disadvantages thoroughly discussed with the CICS development and operations people before the decision was made? Moving TSQs to the coupling facility is a MAJOR change to the way CICS works and the decision should have taken weeks or months to make at any normal organization.
Thanks for your good reply. It seems that the only way to clear TSQs is by issuing SETXCF FORCE command on TSQ structure. And I really don't know whether this is a good solution or not?!
And you are right in this case using TSQ server didn't give us any benefit!
It seems that the only way to clear TSQs is by issuing SETXCF FORCE command on TSQ structure. And I really don't know whether this is a good solution or not?!
No, it is not a great solution. However, it is probably the best solution you have right now.
Temporary storage queues -- the name states that they should be TEMPORARY and go away when not needed. Putting them into the coupling facility turns them into PERMANENT structures -- the exact opposite of what people usually mean by temporary storage.

Dominic Breazeale knows this could be his last shot at a heavyweight belt
Dominic Breazeale celebrates after defeating Eric Molina in a heavyweight boxing match Nov. 4, 2017, in New York.
(Kevin Hagen / Associated Press)
It's all about embracing teachable moments with Dominic Breazeale, the Southland-based heavyweight who's journeyed to New York for a title fight Saturday against unbeaten Deontay Wilder.
Breazeale (20-1, 18 knockouts), a 33-year-old from Eastvale, has absorbed the humbling lessons of a 2016 title loss in England to current three-belt heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. He's experienced a revealing stare-down with Wilder at a hotel lobby following their separate knockout victories.
For the last two months he's hunkered down away from his family, rejecting interview requests, to take in the wisdom of Oakland-based trainer Virgil Hunter.
"I didn't want to be jumping out of the ring for an interview," explained Breazeale, a 6-to-1 underdog. "I was trying to stay away from extra distractions. I wanted to focus on my craft, to understand everything that was going on. I wanted everything organized, no deterrents."
Breazeale has three knockout victories since getting stopped by Joshua (22-0, 21 KOs) in the seventh round of their bout and said he's summoned motivation from the idea that this Showtime-televised main event at Brooklyn's Barclays Center could be his last chance to become a heavyweight champion.
"Every time, you go into a fight, it could be your last one, and I say that while fighting for a world title in a heavyweight boxing match — a situation I know is always dangerous," Breazeale said. "But I've prepared well, and I go into it with a great deal of confidence and a high level of satisfaction that I'm ready for it."
Wilder (40-0-1, 39 KOs), the World Boxing Council champion from Alabama, generated headlines this week by going beyond the possibility of eliminating Breazeale from title consideration, invoking the burning embers of their February 2017 feud while saying, "This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time. It's legal, so why not use my right to do so?"
"I'm not going to waste my energy with something that doesn't make sense," Breazeale said of Wilder's "kill" comment. "I took from that [2017 confrontation] that he's not a dog-heart fighter. He's not the thug, crazy individual he says he is, because most individuals who have a purpose in mind as they walk up to an individual in a hotel lobby will act on it, not just stand there and say word after word after word.
"So for me, it's been my motivation to remind myself why I'm getting up at 6 in the morning to go run, doing the extra push-ups and rounds. It's behind my drive to win Saturday night. I'm calling his bluff in the ring. He hasn't faced anyone of my caliber."
Under Hunter, who trained retired and unbeaten Andre Ward to two division titles, Breazeale said he's emphasized attention on defense.
"I'm an offensive fighter. I like to throw my hands, like to throw big bombs, but I can forget about my defense, so we've been working on coming back to my home base — my defense, my fundamental stance, my jab," Breazeale said. "Virgil stops you from making a mistake. He takes the time to teach.
Sign up for our boxing and MMA newsletter »
"I'm not very fond of Wilder's boxing style or how he's grown as a boxer. This is the first time he'll face someone who can take his shot and give his shot back, and put him down on the canvas. He hasn't been down on the canvas as a pro, and when he does, I believe he'll realize, 'Oh [man], I'm in for a fight.' He's going to have to go through his checks and balances. 'Do I really want to get up and fight this guy, or am I done?' When I put him down, he's going to be done. And if he gets up, I plan on ruining his career, put him into retirement."
That would disrupt all the plotting that surrounds Wilder and his push beyond this mandatory assignment to reach either a unification bout with Joshua or a rematch with unbeaten former champion Tyson Fury, who vacated his titles to deal with addiction and mental health problems.
Breazeale has already been in there with Joshua, dealt with the time change, the unfamiliar food and heard the massive crowd rooting against him.
"It was a blessing and probably the biggest learning tool of my career. It made me understand what I was doing wrong, and why it was wrong. It made me self-correct, to study myself," he said. "I'm a better fighter and I've proven it with three knockout wins and becoming the WBC mandatory" challenger.
"This is my third fight in New York. Yes, it's a world stage, fighting for a world title, but I know what this is. At this point, I'm like a caged dog. I'm champing at the bit. I can't wait for the bell to ring."

Blanca Borrego and her two daughters had been sitting in the waiting room of the Northeast Women's Healthcare clinic in Atascocita, Texas for nearly two hours.
When Borrego arrived at the clinic the staff told her they needed to update her file and, after she filled out some paperwork, they asked for an ID.
Borrego, an undocumented immigrant handed the staff a fake driver's license. The staff contacted the police who were waiting for her in the examination room!
So what does this have to do with me you ask? She had a fake ID and deserved to be arrested.
"Patient tracking, oftentimes automated, is used in a variety of healthcare facilities throughout the United States and is a key component to incident response and management."
Hospitals are putting RFID chips inside name bracelets which allow a hospital to track a patients whereabouts in real-time.
"It's RTLS, or real time locating system," said Kelly Worsnick, a registered nurse and Operations Manager of the Emergency Department at G-CMC. She says since the hospital put in the system last month, she's already used it many times. That chip, or badge, is picked up by beacons located throughout the facility.

COMCARE has embarked on the development of a national framework for the planning and implementation of Integrated Patient Tracking Systems.
- Patient Identification: Data points collected to positively identify an individual.
- Location of Patient Within the System: Identification of an individual's movement within the system, and the present location of the individual.
- Post Event Analysis and Reporting: Functionality related to producing reports and aggregating data for analysis.
The second phase is the research piece, studying the implementation of patient tracking systems across the country. This information gathering completes the other components of the national patient tracking framework, including the development of a model RFP. Phase II is expected to take six months.
- From the pre-hospital setting through family reunification, successful patient tracking can have a powerful impact on patient care and patient safety. Properly implemented, duplicate data entry and its inherent errors, information loss, emergency room procedure preparation for patient arrival and caregiver communication can all be improved.
The third phase will be a model implementation. It "test drives" the framework with field trials and by following a few communities through their procurement and implementation processes. Phase III is estimated to take a year or more.

Why would FEMA/DHS want to train doctors, nurses and EMTs at fake hospitals and clinics and track our every movement? The answer can be explained in two words "Obama care" or government run healthcare! What is happening to America's doctors, has the Hippocratic oath become a joke?

Vets Speak Out! Interview with Christopher Gallagher
By Joan Brunwasser (Page 1 of 2 pages) 3 comments
Part Two of this Series
Christopher Gallagher grew up on Long Island (NY) and now lives in Las Vegas where he is president of the local chapter of IVAW (Iraq Veterans Against the War). He has been out of the Marines since September, 2005. In the meantime, he attended three semesters of college, maintaining a 3.5 GPA towards a business degree, and is currently an electrical union apprentice. Gallagher was part of a contingent of eleven vets that descended upon Capitol Hill this week to share their take on what is going on in Afghanistan. Their numbers included two women, and represented the Army, Marines, and National Guard. Coming together from California, Florida, Nevada, and Indiana, they fanned out to meet with Congressional staffers. Gallagher told me, "Unfortunately, I did not get the responses that I had hoped for. For many offices, it was business as usual."
Welcome to OpEdNews, Christopher. Perhaps you can start by telling us about your military service.
I was a Corporal in the Marines and served three tours in Iraq totaling 16 months. September 4th, 2001, was my first day in boot camp. This set the tone for the next four years of my life. The mission was to defeat terrorism around the world. My job was a radio operator, setting up and providing communication.
I participated in the invasion of Iraq in early 2003. My unit took part in taking down the statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad. My second tour was 2004. I was stationed in Haditha working at a dam.
On my third and final tour in Iraq, in 2005, I was the radio operator for
an 81mm. mortar platoon. Our mission was to run a checkpoint outside
the city of Fallujah.
This was my turning point when I started questioning the war. Weapons company patrols - searching for roadside bombs and insurgents in Iraq - consisted of driving around and waiting to be blown up. The Iraqis were herded like cattle through the checkpoint.
What was it that made you question our motives for being over there?
I started to realize things were wrong when I passed intelligence reports to the battalion and what they sent to higher was completely different than what I sent them. When I asked our intel people why they misreported the facts, they told me it did not matter. That is when I started questioning the war and what our mission was accomplishing.
What did your fellow soldiers think of your change of heart?
90% of my fellow Marines I served with are supportive. The negative Marines were too brainwashed to discuss it with. Two different Marines I served with stated that I did not deserve to wear the uniform. One Marine called me a traitor. I told them that what I was doing was honoring the memory of the marines who were no longer with us. We are not dealing with war but an occupation of a sovereign country. War can be a necessary evil, however I believe that occupation is a crime.
That 90% support level is not what I would have expected. When you say your fellow Marines, are you referring to fellow veterans or those you were serving with while on active duty?
I was not against the war fully until a year after I was out of the Marines. The VA was cutting the benefits and misdiagnosing ptsd [post traumatic stress disorder] as adjustment disorder or personality disorder, so it angered me. IVAW supports full funding of the VA and I joined IVAW because of their commitment to vets' issues and ending the war in Iraq.
What does your family think of your about-face?
They're supportive but worried for my safety and fear that speaking out against the war might hurt my political aspirations. My uncle is a retired army colonel who worked at the Pentagon and he supports me and what I do with IVAW.
What political aspirations?
In the distant future, I would like to run for public office.
So, your experiences in Iraq haven't made a cynic of you?
i am not cynical of the process. We have accomplished a lot. The Congress is more aware of the McGovern bill that states we need an exit strategy.

Westfield Montgomery (anteriormente como Montgomery Mall) es un lujoso centro comercial localizado en Bethesda, Maryland, en Democracy Boulevard cerca de la Interestatal 270 y Capital Beltway (I-495).

Historia
El centro comercial abrió en marzo de 1968, con tres tiendas anclas y 58 tiendas pequeñas. Las primeras anclas fueron Hecht Company, Garfinckel's y Sears. Una de las pequeñas tiendas fue Bond Stores outlet. En la expansión de mediado de los año 1970, se gastó entre $4.5 millones, en 155,000 pies cuadrado para la tienda Woodward & Lothrop y 60,000 pies cuadrado para construir 40 tiendas adicionales. En la renovación de octubre de 1991, ingresaron las tiendas Nordstrom y Crate & Barrel al centro comercial.

Recientemente se aprobó un plan para volver a expandir el centro comercial y convertirlo en un centro de compras de "estilo de vida". Con estas adiciones, se construirá una pasarela de modas, que conectara a las tiendas Nordstrom y Macy's con lujosas boutiques, y otras pequeñas tiendas, más restaurantes, y nuevas tiendas. Para finales de 2009, se espera que sean terminadas todas las remodelaciones y pondrá a Westfield Montgomery al mismo nivel del nuevo y masivo Tysons Corner Center cerca de McLean, Virginia.

Anclas
 Macy's (218,315 pies cuadrado)
 Macy's Home Store (75,848 pies cuadrado)
 Nordstrom (212,800 pies cuadrado)
 Old Navy

Countries are faced with the growing challenge of managing increasing risks from climate change and climate variability, putting development and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at risk. The adoption in 2015 of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the Paris Agreement on climate change provides a clear mandate for increased coherence in countries' approaches to climate and disaster risk reduction. While both frameworks refer to their respective goals and objectives, each guides progress towards a more sustainable, resilient and equitable future. Domestically, responsibilities for climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) tend to be spread across different institutions and stakeholders; internationally, they are supported by separate UN agencies and related processes. The different approaches and mechanisms inevitably result in overlaps and gaps.
Countries are increasingly recognising the benefits of increased coherence in CCA and DRR, exemplified by the number of countries that either have developed joint strategies or put in place processes that facilitate co-ordination across the two policy areas. For increased coherence, certain enabling factors must be in place, including strong leadership and engagement of key government bodies, broad stakeholder participation and co-ordination, clear allocation of roles, responsibilities and resources, and monitoring, evaluation and continuous learning. This can help identify trade-offs (e.g. growing need for public support to post-disaster responses in the absence of a focus on CCA) and synergies (e.g. a more comprehensive assessment of interlinked climate and disaster risks), while minimising redundancies in delivery.
Informed by the country experiences of Ghana, Peru and the Philippines, this report examines the potential for increased coherence in the approach used for CCA and DRR, structured around five entry points:
Policy and governance: Realising the benefits of increased coherence in CCA and DRR requires political support and leadership by a recognised co-ordination entity. Awareness raising and capacity development can ensure that the benefits and trade-offs of greater coherence are understood by key stakeholders and guide the identification of shared solutions. Ministries and agencies with a presence at the local level are well placed to lead efforts to increase coherence in CCA and DRR, subject to the availability of human, institutional and financial capacities.
Data and information: Despite a shift over the past decade from assessing climate and disaster hazards to better understanding the risks there continues to be a gap in related sources of data and information. This gap is furthered by limitations in human and technical capacity to access, generate and use the data and information available. Centralised platforms can support efforts to tailor data and information to user needs. This should be matched by efforts to strengthen the capacity of stakeholders to use the data to translate climate information into a format that can guide decision-making processes.
Implementation: Translating political commitment to increased coherence in CCA and DRR into coherence in implementation requires clear allocation of roles and responsibilities between institutional bodies with a mandate to co-ordinate and those with a mandate to implement and fund. Capacity constraints – human and financial – can exacerbate barriers to implementation, particularly at the local level where most implementation occurs. Lack of coherence and co-ordination at higher levels of government can also lead to conflicting or duplicative demands at the local level. Stricter enforcement of common policy instruments, such as land-use management and building codes, can also contribute to joint CCA and DRR outcomes.
Financing: Existing budgeting tools and guidelines can help identify funding gaps and priorities for public investments. Risk assessments and economic analysis can support prioritising measures known to foster greater coherence in CCA and DRR. Further, piloting of different financial instruments, in some cases with support from development partners, can also help governments develop solid risk financing strategies to respond to the impacts of climate-related disasters. For such pilots to succeed, however, they must include clear exit, replication or scale-up plans to allow relevant stakeholders to build on examples of good practice.
Monitoring, evaluation and learning: National reporting systems provide an important basis for the monitoring and evaluation of CCA and DRR. The level of detail that can be captured by separate or joint reporting systems for CCA and DRR vary. In all cases, a persistent challenge is to ensure that the information generated informs subsequent policy-making processes. While not unique to the context of CCA and DRR, the uncertain nature of projected climate change impacts and the need for a flexible approach, however, highlights the importance of continuous learning.
Development co-operation can supports partner countries in addressing climate and disaster risks while at the same time strengthening coherence in implementation of CCA and DRR. This includes support to initiatives, including pilots, that strengthen countries' policy frameworks and institutional arrangements and that can facilitate the identification of opportunities for coherence in CCA and DRM. At the same time, development co-operation can create barriers to coherence in CCA and DRR when the intersection between the two is not explicitly or sufficiently taken into account in the support provided, or when there is inadequate co-ordination between entities or providers of support for either CCA or DRR.

How Much Does the UFC 200 PPV Cost?
While the loss of Jon Jones hurts, UFC 200 still features one of the most compelling cards in the company's history. There are two title fights. There are prospects, veterans, knockout artists and thoroughly entertaining fighters littered throughout the card. There's the return of Brock Lesnar, one of the biggest draws this business has ever seen. And oh yeah, there's Andrerson Silva, arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all-time, fighting Daniel Cormier at light heavyweight on two days notice.
And the price is the same as usual.
You can click here to order UFC 200. The PPV costs $59.99 for high definition, and $49.99 for standard definition.
If you were thinking about adding Fight Pass, this would be the time to do it. UFC is offering a deal that includes both the PPV and six months of Fight Pass for a total $86.96. Ordering the HD PPV and six months of Fight Pass separately would cost you $113.93 normally, so it's an easy way to save if you were planning on going that route.
With three title fights and the return of Brock Lesnar, UFC 200 could be the company's biggest PPV ever.

India, Maldives Partnership To Emerge Stronger, Says Jaishankar
Thursday, January 19, 2023 by Indian Defence News
Male: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday said that the partnership between India and Maldives will emerge stronger than before as quality social infrastructure is being created across Maldives under this development partnership.
Congratulating the people of the inhabited islands in Maldives, Foakaidhoo for the successful completion of this project, the External Affairs Minister said that he is hopeful that people will make the best use of the creation for community bonding.
"I know today, from this inauguration, our partnership will emerge stronger than before. Once again, I congratulate the people of Foakaidhoo on the development of this Community centre. I hope you make the best use of it for recreation, for community bonding and most of all for pursuing a healthy lifestyle," the External Affairs Minister said during his remarks at the inauguration of the Community Centre in Shaviyani Foakaidhoo on Thursday.
The External Affairs Minister also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership and President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih and said that both countries have, in recent years, seen remarkable progress under their leadership.
Overwhelmed on his arrival at Foakaidhoo, Jaishankar added, "The community centre is an excellent example of the quality social infrastructure that is being created across the Maldives under the India-Maldives development partnership. I applaud the council and people of Foakaidhoo for the successful completion of this project."
He also thanked his Maldivian counterpart Abdulla Shahid for the effective coordination of the implementation of various high-impact community development projects in the Maldives.
India is supporting 45 such projects spread across 16 atolls and 36 islands through grant assistance while 23 of these projects have already been completed.
Moreover, a new project, for the development of a sports complex in Gaaf Dhaalu Gaddhoo has been added.
During his address, the EAM also stated that India would further take on additional community projects in the Maldives.
"I am also delighted to share that India will be extending a further MVR 100 million to take on additional community welfare projects just like this, in other parts of the Maldives," the EAM said.
The purpose of the project that we are inaugurating today is to encourage the local community, especially the youth and women to conduct and participate in various social activities, in economic activities which are necessary for their overall well-being and development, he added.
Highlighting PM Modi's Fit India and Khelo India campaigns during his address, Jaishankar said that the sports infrastructure across the islands will be developed through the dedicated concessional USD 40 million Line of Credit.
"I should add here that in India, we have two movements which the Prime Minister has personally propagated. One is called Fit India, to encourage all of us to be fit and the other is called Khelo India for the young people to take part in sports. For me today, this is a way of taking Fit India and Khelo India into our Neighborhood First Policy and we certainly, I think all of us, would like to see a much more socially active, physically active South Asia," he said during the inauguration of the Community Centre.
The minister asserted how a good foreign policy transforms people's lives and that the event showcased it in the best possible manner.
Jaishankar is on a three-day visit to the Maldives and Sri Lanka to further expand bilateral engagement with India's two key maritime neighbours.
He reached Maldives on Wednesday on his fourth visit to the island country after assuming office in 2019. He was warmly welcomed by Foreign Minister of Maldives Abdulla Shahid.
On Wednesday, not only Jaishankar reviewed India's joint projects with the Maldives but also reaffirmed the strong development partnership between the two countries. After holding discussions with Maldives Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid, Jaishankar said they reaffirmed the strong development ties between both sides.
Earlier today, Jaishankar who is on a diplomatic visit to Maldives, paid homage to Sultan Mohamed Thakururufaanu, a revered national hero of the island nation at his Memorial Centre.

Multisensory top-down sets: Evidence for contingent crossmodal capture
Mast F., Frings C., Spence C.
© 2015, The Psychonomic Society, Inc. Numerous studies that have investigated visual selective attention have demonstrated that a salient but task-irrelevant stimulus can involuntarily capture a participant's attention. Over the years, a lively debate has erupted concerning the impact of contingent top-down control settings on such stimulus-driven attentional capture. In the research reported here, we investigated whether top-down sets would also affect participants' performance in a multisensory task setting. A nonspatial compatibility task was used, in which the target and the distractor were always presented sequentially from the same spatial location. We manipulated target–distractor similarity by varying the visual and tactile features of the stimuli. Participants always responded to the visual target features (color); the tactile features were incorporated into the participants' top-down set only when the experimental context allowed for the tactile feature to be used in order to discriminate the target from the distractor. Larger compatibility effects after bimodal distractors were observed only when the participants were searching for a bimodal target and when tactile information was useful. Taken together, these results provide the first demonstration of nonspatial contingent crossmodal capture.

Q: How to pass one class to another in Typescript? I have the following class UserRepo:
import User from './UserModel'
export default class UserRepo {
   async createUser(user: {name: string}): Promise<User>{
       const user = new User(user);
       return await user.save()
  }
}

I want to export this class and bind it in another class in constructor, so I can have access to this method createUser (and the whole instance of the class UserRepo) in another class. For example this.UserRepo.createUser({name: "Bob"});
Pseudocode of my thoughts on the new class:
import User from './UserModel'
import UserRepo from './UserRepo';

interface IUserImplementation {
    insertUser(user: {name: string}): Promise<User>
}

export default class UserImplementation implements IUserImplementation {
    constructor(UserRepo) {
        this.userRepo = new UserRepo();
    }

    async insertUser(user: {name: string}){
        const data = await this.userRepo.createUser(user);
    }
}

A: You might be looking to implement a dependency injection pattern.
recommended:
export default class UserImplementation implements IUserImplementation {
    constructor(UserRepo: UserRepo) { // have the user create the UserRepo instance
        this.userRepo = UserRepo;
    }

    async insertUser(user: {name: string}){
        const data = await this.userRepo.createUser(user);
    }
}

You can also do:

export default class UserImplementation implements IUserImplementation {
    constructor() { // nothing
        this.userRepo = new UserRepo(); // create instance in constructor
    }

    async insertUser(user: {name: string}){
        const data = await this.userRepo.createUser(user);
    }
}
