UK Imposes New Restrictions For 4 Million Amid Virus Spread
LONDON (AP) -- Britain's health secretary defended the government's abrupt re-imposition of restrictions on social life across a swath of northern England on Friday, saying it was important to clamp down quickly on new outbreaks of COVID-19.
Matt Hancock said that while it's not the "sort of decision that anybody would want to take,'' the government had no choice.
"It is important to move quickly because the virus spreads and you've got to make sure you do everything you can do keep ahead of it," he told Sky News.
Under the new restrictions, people from different households in Greater Manchester, England's second largest metropolitan area, have been asked to not meet indoors. The order also applies to the surrounding areas of Lancashire and West Yorkshire counties, affecting more than 4 million people in all.
Hancock said data showed the coronavirus was being spread primarily between households.
He told the BBC that "one of the terrible things about this virus is it thrives on the sort of social contact that makes life worth living."
Opposition politicians supported the latest move but criticized the government for announcing the restrictions in a tweet from Hancock late Thursday, just two hours before they came into force at midnight.
Labour Party business spokeswoman Lucy Powell said the "bolt out of the blue" approach was "not the way to build confidence and to take people with you and maximize compliance with these steps."
The affected region has a large Muslim population, and the restrictions coincide with the Eid al-Adha holiday, where many people would normally gather in each other's homes.
The Muslim Council of Britain's secretary general, Harun Khan, sharply criticized the way the announcements were made, saying that for Muslims in the affected areas, "it is like being told they cannot visit family and friends for Christmas on Christmas Eve itself.''
"Failure to communicate makes it difficult for communities across the country to continue working together to minimize the spread of the virus, whilst eroding trust in the ability of authorities to steer our course as we tackle the Covid-19 crisis,'' Khan said. "The UK government has failed to provide clarity on the shockingly short notice and the reasoning behind the new rules.''
The measures are the second batch of regional restrictions imposed to try to curb a second wave of the virus in Britain, following a stricter local lockdown in the central England city of Leicester. The government said restaurants, pubs, shops and hairdressers in Leicester could reopen from Monday, more than a month after they were closed amid a surge in cases.
Britain's official coronavirus death toll stands at just over 46,000, the third-highest total in the world after the United States and Brazil.

Gli accattoni del Sacro Cuore è un film del 1913 diretto da Achille Consalvi.

Trama
Il giovanissimo marchese D'Hamilton ama onestamente Ester, bella e buona figlia di un mugnaio cieco. I suoi propositi sono contrastati dallo zio e tutore, che intende dargli in moglie l'unica sua figlia. Non riuscendo a persuaderlo assolda Grelù, un nobile rovinato dal gioco e dagli stravizi ma fondamentalmente non cattivo d'animo, che sotto ricatto appicca il fuoco al mulino dove Ester vive con suo padre e dal quale riescono per miracolo a salvarsi. Così rovinati sono però ridotti a chiedere l'elemosina a Parigi, sui gradini della chiesa del Sacro Cuore. Un giorno, in una infima taverna, Grelù sente Ester cantare una canzone, e colto dal rimorso confessa quello che ha fatto. Dopo aver meditato vendetta Ester torna dal marchese, che la sposa dopo aver cacciato di casa l'avido zio.

How Weezer's cover of Africa became one of the band's biggest hits
Weezer's cover of internet's beloved Africa, a song originally performed by studio maestros Toto, has resulted in the alternative band's biggest hit in years. How did it happen? And what will this ultimately mean for the esteemed pop-punk group?
What's Weezer famous for?
Weezer is an alternative rock band that gained massive popularity in the 1990s. Many of their singles became international hits. Their albums, especially The Blue Album and Pinkerton, influenced a host of admirers and a good deal of imitators. Singer and guitar player Rivers Cuomo became one of the most admired songwriters of his generation, a reputation that is continually growing.
Two of Weezer's most influential albums (Amazon links included)
Let's see. How would I describe Weezer to someone who's never heard their music and is without access to a streaming service ? Well, dear reader, they are kind of like Nirvana, but funnier and with tremendous, yet cleverly restrained, guitar chops.
Why is the song Africa famous?
It's one of the most popular songs in the world at the moment. Africa is famous in part ironically, and partly for entirely earnest reasons. Let me explain.
The song first became a hit back in 1982. In fact, Toto enjoyed a string of hit singles. The band's members were also quite technically gifted, bonafide studio wizards. Most notably being most of the group's members were involved in the recording of Michael Jackson's Thriller, one of the most successful LP's of all time.
Some of Toto's greatest contributions to music (Amazon links)
However, their career defining albums were largely ignored by music critics. Africa's resurgence in the 2010s is largely due to modern internet culture. On the one hand, the song's optimism has become a sort of soundtrack antidote to current uncertain times . On the other hand, it's a piece of nostalgia, embraced in a slightly satirical way. It's, well… a meme, for lack of a better name for it.
How did Weezer decide to cover Africa?
Since Africa has become the internet's favorite song, there have been countless cover versions recorded and made available for public consumption. In fact, some estimate that at the rate musicians are churning out versions, it could well become the most covered song in music history, overthrowing Paul McCartney's Yesterday.
Weezer come into the story as a consequence of a series of tweets. An account belonging to a teenage fan of the band requested that Weezer cover the song. The tweet received a lot of attention, eventually, turning into something of a public petition.
The band finally accepted the challenge of covering Toto. And while the world waited … they covered a different song, albeit a Toto song, another of the group's major hits , Rosanna.
And while the internet was busy enjoying the joke, Weezer were putting the finishing touches on the requested tune. And so, the band's own version of Africa was released. Hilarity, nostalgia and a well crafted cover song hit the internet which was over flooded with reactions.
How successful was it?
The joke soon turned serious, with the song receiving thousands upon thousands of plays and downloads across streaming services. Toto's own guitar virtuoso Steve Lukather, acknowledges that humor played a significant role in the success of Weezer's version of the song. Lukather also says that the numerous cover versions of Africa have helped Toto earn millions of views, streams and downloads.
"The likelihood of Toto and Weezer in the same breath is strange at first glance. It was a true WTF moment for us; maybe for them, too. I think they did on a dare or as a gag. I guess Weezer covers '80s songs for a laugh. I am sure they never saw this coming any more than we did. I see it as a win-win for both sides and we all laugh our asses off wishing we could see the so-called "hipster press" writhing in their worst nightmare of collaborations. But the kids don't care. They like what they like and somehow this "Africa" thing has caught on. Never thought I'd live to see it."
Why was it successful anyhow?
To the aficionados of internet memes, Africa plays like a kind of joke that everyone is in on. It also happens to be a well written, melodic, honestly idealistic piece of pop music. It's guilty pleasure that nobody has the apologize for.
Weezer's cover of the song had every conceivable opportunity to become successful. It had a powerful, grass roots social media message that attracted attention. It included a popular song, turned internet meme. And it was played and sung by the well-known alternative rock band.
Weezer has continued to be a popular band. Recent releases have included some of the band's best material since the 1990's. In spite of this, popularity naturally fluctuates. A regular Weezer release tends to be met with great enthusiasm mostly by their loyal fan base, who, to be fair, aren't few.
However, Weezer's cover of Africa, as a response to a popular tweet, was an event and a story that news outlets could gladly report on. The band walked into a story.
It doesn't hurt that the recording itself was good. The band maintains the original arrangement of the, while adding sharper edged guitars and Cuomo's famous, melodious singing.
Will this help Weezer's career?
Perhaps. Since releasing the song to Youtube, the song has gathered over 8 million views. To date it is still in the Top 10 Billboard alternative songs. Streaming services also list it as one of the most liked indie/alternative songs of the year.
Weezer's legacy is already well established. It is likely that their recording of the song was a gag to begin with. The payoff is a lovely bonus, earning them the kind of attention that any working band needs. It's a good song, recorded by a great band and an example of the power of social media in 2018.

Why Warriors Rejected 76ers' Ben Simmons Trade Offer
Anthony AmadorJuly 29, 2021
The Golden State Warriors had an opportunity to acquire Ben Simmons from the Philadelphia 76ers this week but ultimately decided to pass.
Over the past few days chatter had intensified regarding a possible trade being worked out between Golden State and Philadelphia. On paper it made sense.
Unfortunately, in reality it ended up being a little too difficult.
The key problem proved to be the Sixers' asking price for Simmons.
According to Keith Pompey of the Philly Inquirer, the Sixers wanted "Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, the Nos. 7 and 14 picks in tonight's NBA draft along with two future first-rounders." That was too much for the Warriors.
During a recent session on ESPN, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski acknowledged that the Sixers were looking for a king's ransom for Simmons.

— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) July 29, 2021
"The Sixers have been canvassing around the league, and they are asking for a massive return for Ben Simmons," he said. "One GM described it to me as Harden-esque, similar to what Houston wanted in the talks that led to them trading [James] Harden to Brooklyn."
It will be interesting to see how this situation ultimately develops. Obviously there are five teams that are very interested in adding Simmons. But each one has drawn a line in the sand regarding what they aren't willing to sacrifice to make a trade happen.
Will Philly ultimately be able to find a middle ground with someone and get a deal done? Time will tell.
That's one way to celebrate a birthday. https://t.co/kR0Coa801w

Modelling and spectroscopic studies of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and its interaction with hydroxyapatite as a model of bone
University of Pretoria: Research Output
Theses and Dissertations (University of Pretoria)
Barnard, Werner
The behaviour of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP, H4L) was studied in the aqueous medium and at the hydroxyapatite interface as a model of bone. In solution, the pH-dependency of the various protonated forms of HEDP was studied using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of various nuclei and from this comparable pKa values could be obtained from the 31P chemical shift curve. The Raman spectra of the aqueous samples were measured and each protonated form was identified by unique vibrational bands. Multivariate curve resolution analysis was used to redetermine the species distribution diagram, as well as pure component spectra of each protonated form. Molecular modelling was employed to determine the most probable conformer present in solution and also to calculate the theoretical vibrational spectrum of each conformer. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental data allowed the assignment of the different Raman bands observed. The species present at low pH were the most problematic to analyse due to the strong inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonding indirectly observed in the data. The interaction of HEDP at low and high concentrations with hydroxyapatite, bovine bone and CaHPO4 was investigated in situ by means of Raman spectroscopy and it was found that two Ca-HEDP complexes are sequentially formed at both concentrations, and that the order of formation of these two complexes can be explained from the species distribution diagrams of Ca-HEDP complexes. One complex, CaHEDP•2H2O, was successfully isolated and characterised by means of single-crystal X-ray Diffraction (XRD) methods and Raman spectroscopy. Theoretically generated Raman spectra were used to assist in the assignment of the solid-state Raman spectrum of CaHEDP•2H2O. It is postulated that the unknown complex is the monoprotonated Ca-HEDP complex. Using the Raman spectra of the complexes and HEDP as references, it was determined that HEDP(aq) interacts similarly with hydroxyapatite, bovine bone and CaHPO4 and thus hydroxyapatite can be substituted for bone in the Raman spectroscopic study of HEDP with bone. HEDP interaction was also studied at pH values of 5.0 and 7.4 to understand the nature of the interaction at the pH values at which the diprotonated (H2L2-) form is predominantly present, as well as at the pH of human blood plasma, which is slightly basic. HEDP exists as a monohydrate at room temperature and the single-crystal structure was redetermined, during which the hydrogen positions were experimentally obtained for the first time by means of X-ray diffraction methods. The anhydrous form of HEDP exists above 70°C and Rietveld refinement of the powder X-ray pattern of anhydrous HEDP was used to solve its crystal structure. The complexity of contributory factors allowed only for the non-hydrogen atom positions to be determined. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy were performed on both phases and there is evidence in the Raman spectrum that hydrogen bonding still plays a predominant role in the anhydrous solid state. All these studies led to a better understanding of the nature of bisphosphonate interaction with bone and the results can therefore be applied in future medical studies for drug screening regarding bone cancer research.

Can Mr Shifty Fight its Way to the Top?
By Jordan Helm on January 30, 2017
I wouldn't blame tinyBuild Games had they decided to rest on their laurels a little in 2017 following a rather active past twelve months. 2016 saw no fewer than fourteen titles go through the process of getting released or otherwise announced, which in another light could equate to around maybe four or even five years worth of projects for the more bigger publishers out there. Granted, tinyBuild aren't exactly honchoing AAA bonanzas with millions of dollars on the line, but the one thing they have going for them is their clear focus for a space in both the gaming market as much the consumer psyche. Perhaps that's why I've spoken rather highly of them in the past and why I consider their efforts in the industry to be on a productive par with the likes of Devolver Digital. And their portfolio has only broadened because of it, helping independent developers that, while not exactly introducing mind-bending new concepts, still manage to throw up an idea or two that causes you to stop for a second and think: "is this going to be not just my dark horse of the year…but the dark horse"
Independent developers have had a knack of being the ones to throw up something from out of left-field that is so often enthralling, let alone enjoyable. Last year, it was the likes of D-Pad Studio, Dreadbit, Superhot Team and more that carved out, though contrasting concepts, games that excelled because of what they ended up providing rather than merely what they promised. And it feels more and more like the same thing is happening when it comes to Team Shifty's debut release, Mr Shifty. Be it at E3 or PAX — a humble demo or, as I got to try out these past few days, an assemble of levels that make up just a fraction of the final game's total 120 level claim — tinyBuild, like so many other publishers, are helping to shine a light on the kind of refined (rather than entirely new) idea you can make accepting nods towards. You know the one, the "there's definitely something here" kind of nod.
By something, I'm naturally referring to the addictive if mechanically simple premise of phasing from one point to another to not only avoid numerous, perilous deaths but deliver the kind of righteous justice only a comic book crime fighter can deliver. And that's a right good punch-or-three to the face. If you're reading this preview of Team Shifty's current offering than I'm assuming you already know the basic structure of how Mr Shifty plays out: rooms full of cartoony, personality-devoid goons; the ability to quickly teleport over short distances; an attack button…what more needs to be said? Well a fair more actually, given that as I left my laptop-laden first-play of the game half a year ago, an enjoyable taster it most certainly was, there would always be that skepticism that up to now had lingered on — as we made sure to point out when we got a second bite of the cherry at PAX last year. That is, as entertaining a reflex-based (and thankfully not twin-stick controlled) wave-like eliminating of enemies on a level-by-level, floor-by-floor basis, might be…that the question concerning how long the genuine enjoyment would last before the design overall (from comic book-like aesthetic to right-angle shaped rooms alike) would begin to sour, remained.
I'm pleased to say that Team Shifty have, for the moment at least, looked past the dizzying spectacle that is flying around a furniture-filled room like a madman and have ensured that as far as progression goes, Mr Shifty does at the very least throw up new challenges along the way and as a result, conjure new risks that don't quite equate to simply counting up the number of visible foes on screen. Whether this be automated turrets that fire fast rounds upon appearing in their line-of-sight or precariously-placed exploding barrels (entire rows of them in some cases), the fact these deliberately lethal obstacles actually turn out to be the least surprising unveiling on what players can expect in the final build, goes a long way to expressing how Mr Shifty, as a package, is as much about the short spells of more tactically-sound decisions as it is the longer bursts of endlessly looping shiftshiftshiftshiftshift-die-repeat play-through's. Naturally Mr Shifty isn't a game you can simply spam your way through, as we've previously discussed, yet it's also one you can't just subconsciously recline one's self into and confide to being all about clearing rooms full of enemies.
True, that is the main appeal here and I'd be lying if I said retracing one's step through interconnected hallways and rooms, now littered with dozens (hundreds at some points) of dead bodies, doesn't raise a somewhat ravenous grin of inner-masochistic delight. But the kind of new ideas that only now I've tried out — the ones which I'm more pleased to detail in the recently-released Beta — are those that manage to prevent Mr Shifty from turning into both a visual and indeed structural one-trick-pony. The fact the game feels at points almost like a platformer — even if it does technically maintain the overhead view throughout — as you weave in and out of lasers and even rush down corridors as a salvo of explosions and bullet-fire try to catch you on your six, is proof that Team Shifty themselves haven't rested on their laurels when it comes to fine-tuning the game's core melee and agility mechanics as well as coming up with new ideas on how they can be possibly integrated into new scenarios altogether.
Of course, not all said scenarios are relatively as immediate in their appeal (and immediate in finally clearing them after a fair few retries) such as the ocassional "defend the area"-esque round of surviving wave after wave of respawning foes, yet even here Mr Shifty's more upbeat, more deadlier teetering-on-the-edge appeal helps spice up what many would consider rather tired set-pieces in a lot of games. It's a shame that it's so often these moments that bear most of the brunt of the game's minor performance issues at present — the sheer chaos on show at points at having numerous AI and visual effects running at the same time causing FPS to fall to around mid-40's from its once hundred-plus high. Sometimes causing such a storm that it causes gameplay to crash entirely. Not once, but unfortunately twice during my time with the Beta build.
For the most part, Mr Shifty retains its elegance of being a simple brawler with a not-so-simple method of accomplishment in each of its foe-littered floors whom can kill you as much from long distance in one hit as they can at close range. On first look it may appear that Mr Shifty's sparse and relatively minimal layout — as far as its level design goes — is a result of an unspecified chosen amount of input/effort on the developer's side. The reality is that like Hotline Miami before it, Mr Shifty is perhaps cleverly open and spacious so as to invite players into the orderly chaos waiting around nearly every corner. As a means to interest them on first go but also, later down the line, trip them up due to some possibly self-made confidence. Without giving away the finer details, let's just say the deliberate placement (and indeed coloring) of certain walls/furniture in parts will frustrate. Not at the game, but at one's self. It's this reason alone why Mr Shifty has a reasonable chance at climbing, much like the titular protagonist, to the top of indie supremacy later this year.

Some day I am going to head out of town without any planning and spend a week doing nothing but resting.
Yeah, probably not. That has all the appeal of a hospital stay for me. I like planning. I even like over-planning. I like my days so full that I can't possibly do everything I want to do---and I have to make another visit in the future to try to catch up (and, of course, I never will catch up).
This family vacation to Yellowstone is not so much about relaxation. It's more of a homeschool field trip. We've been planning our stay here for months, preparing lessons and exploring options. My goal is to write and work on an outline for my novel. My husband's goals revolve around hiking and being cold. (Norwegian ancestry makes the long, hot summers seem hotter and longer to him). My youngest is working on a unit study of animals. She's writing reports about the animals we've seen and so far she's written many notes about moose, elk, and osprey. My oldest is working on Yellowstone ecology. Yesterday we focused on the Yellowstone fires of 1988 as a jumping-off point for an essay she's writing. And middle child? He's working in earnest on his History Day project that isn't due until April. He's doing a private video blog of his progress and preparing to interview Yellowstone Park Historian, Lee Whittlesey. The topic for his project is The Hayden Expedition, so we're visiting the areas visited by the expedition as well as planning our time in the archives and the research library.
And yes, for those of you wondering how we left things at home, we did get a farm sitter for the sheep and my sister drove down to stay at our house with my mom. So everything keeps plugging away at home while we're away. I am ever-thankful for the community of friends and family that keep us moving along on this path.
So. . . yesterday we left before dawn and arrived at our destination near Hebgen Lake by 2:30 or so.


Adjustable Camera Pan/Tilt/Zoom: One of the most annoying things that can happen when you're using a baby monitor is closing the door and then turning on the video monitor only to realize that your camera isn't aimed at the baby at all, and you can't see a thing. Most of the baby monitor systems would require you to go back into your baby's room and manually adjust the camera. Some of the systems we review below have remotely adjustable camera angles, so you can pan side-to-side, tilt the camera angle upward/downward, and zoom in or out, without having to go back into your baby's room. Super convenient, and a critical feature to stay at the top of our best baby monitor list. It's also nice to have a relatively wide-view camera, like the Summer Infant wide baby monitor, so that even if you don't have wireless camera panning and tilting, the odds of still seeing your baby are pretty high if you have a wide-angle camera.
We wanted to recommend an inexpensive video monitor, but their flaws were so significant that we decided we'd rather spend less on a quality audio-only monitor like the VTech DM221. This is a well-reviewed best seller in the category, and it has crisp sound and better talk-back functionality than the best video monitors we found, as well as a longer range and better battery life than our video picks. It easily beats out its audio-only competitors for various basic reasons like being cordless, rechargeable, or less expensive.
To help you find the best video baby monitor for your family's needs, we've outlined some key features to look for, and we will continue to share the results of our testing. Here are our current top picks, followed by a buyers' guide that will help you identify your wants and needs if our picks don't match what you're looking for. And if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you'll find links to all of our latest video baby monitor reviews..
In our tests, Levana Ayden did well in the categories where Levana Keera underperformed, particularly with regards to user-friendliness. This was most noticeable in the simple controls, which are easy to learn. Levana Ayden also has a few useful extras such as a built-in nightlight and three lullabies to help sooth your baby as they sleep. This unit costs around $90, which is quite competitive with other video baby monitors. Unfortunately, the unit lacks the ability to remotely reposition the camera and has lower than average video quality, which can make details hard to see. The audio had mild interference, but this didn't affect the overall quality much. The one-year warranty is typical of video baby monitors.
Just because you're pulling double diaper duty doesn't mean you need to buy two baby monitors. If you're a twin mom, simply look for a monitor that can accommodate add-on cameras. The Babysense Video Monitor comes with two digital cameras right out of the box (and can handle up to four), making this the best baby monitor for twins. With the push of a button, you can toggle between views of your twin babes. Plus, this monitor features digital pan/tilt and zoom, two-way communication, room temperature monitoring and a 900-foot range.
Baby's exposure could potentially be even lower if parents place the camera on a wall at least 15 feet from baby (a distance still good for night vision to work properly with most monitors). Given the sensitivity of baby's developing systems we recommend placing the monitor as far away from the baby as possible while still being able to utilize the night vision as intended and see baby's face to determine if they are awake or sleeping at a glance. For most of the products, this distance is between 10-15 feet from the baby.
The video on its handheld unit is sharp and consistent, and even with 30 feet between the camera and the handheld unit, there wasn't lag or interruption in the video. In addition, you can use the handheld unit to remotely point the camera at different parts of the room. Although you can't record video or take pictures with the DXR-8, these aren't important features for a baby monitor. Setup is incredibly easy. After charging the handheld unit overnight, we plugged in the camera and it instantly connected. There was a slight lag in the video when the camera and handheld unit were 50 feet apart, which is why it only scored 90 percent in our connection test, but that's still better than other baby monitors we reviewed. In our battery life test, the monitor lasted 10 hours – only one other model has a battery that lasts this long. This video baby monitor doesn't have Wi-Fi, but that's not a problem. Our top Wi-Fi monitor, the Philips Avent, is more expensive and didn't perform as well as the DXR-8 in our tests. This baby camera has swappable lenses for telephoto and wide-angle views. It also has invisible infrared LEDs that let you see your baby in complete darkness without waking them. The DXR-8 doesn't have a nightlight or lullabies to comfort your baby, but those exclusions don't make this baby monitor any less impressive. The warranty on the DXR-8 only lasts a year, compared to the two-year warranty on the Philips Avent.
Still need help? We understand! There's a lot to choose from, and given that the baby monitor performs a super important job, we want to help you select the one that provides the ultimate peace of mind when it comes to baby's safety and security. We've rounded up 10 of the best baby monitors on the market, from high-end, do-it-all monitors to affordable but effective audio monitors and everything in between. You're sure to find your digital nap companion on our list!

"Puhleeze" butter my biscuits in Knoxville at the International Biscuit Festival!
This post was published on June 1, 2013, but we're sharing it with you again just to whet your appetite! The International Biscuit Festival returns to Knoxville, TN this weekend with big events — booths, vendors, music, and, of course, tasty biscuits — on Saturday, May 17, 2014. Join us! Click here for more information.
We passed the Cruze Farm Milk Truck on our way to get coffee and then checked out the booths as they prepared for the onslaught of 20,000 festival goers — ready to dig in to the doughy delights.
The crew from Plaid Apron stopped a minute for a picture but quickly got to work setting up their chalkboard with what had to be the longest name in the best biscuit competition: Candied Benton's Bacon, Clabbered Cream, Honey & Balsamic Reduction Buttermilk Biscuit!
Sapphire's was ready early on, so this blueberry specialty was one of my first of five samples I could get with a $10.00 ticket. Delicious!
By this time, the crowd packed the boulevard and long lines were ahead of us.
The Pillsbury Dough-Boy stood ready with his newly acquired friend Rather from Crested Butte, Colorado. Husband Bert grabbed a Grilled Biscuit Sloppy Joe from their tent!
After spying another long line, we knew something good was waiting where the man in a red shirt from Applewood Farmhouse greeted everyone with a smile. Sure 'nough. Winning the People's Choice Award with the most guest votes was their Andouille Shrimp and Grits Biscuit — hot, spicy, and not on anyone's diet, for sure. No wonder they took home the Biscuit Sunsphere Trophy!
But not to be outdone, RT Lodge now has bragging rights from the critics with their Deep Fried Biscuit with Braised Short Rib and Pickled Onion. Mmmm. A mixture of savory, spicy, and vinegary all in one. Deserved that Critic's Choice Award!
If biscuits alone weren't enough, there was even our favorite East Tennessee syrupy goodness from the Guenther family in a booth down the street: Muddy Pond Sorghum!
At the Biscuit Festival, even little kids get into biscuit eatin' — like this happy fella who likes packin' it in while strolling . . .
and these rather cooperative brothers in the children's tent patting and rolling and cutting biscuits just like the chefs do!
Since we were stuffed from more carbs than we usually eat in a month, we were glad to take a break and enjoy the lively lyrics and thumping, hand-raising sounds of Jimmy Brown Johnson and the Band of Awesome on the Flatbed Music Stage. No one stood still — or even wanted to!
We stopped to talk to our friends Kathy and Dan Hamilton who were on their way to the Blackberry Farm Biscuit Brunch in Krutch Park Tent. From all accounts, this is the culinary route to a great Saturday, so we may have to try it next year.
Harry and David set up a booth for the first time this year . . .
and B97.5 motioned us over for more freebies on a plate.
We almost did a double-take when we saw the Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams booth with the owner himself, Allan Benton, serving his nationally-famous smoked country ham and bacon.
I said to him, It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Benton. And you're still smiling after being on your feet all morning?
We mozied back around to Market Square to take in some of the crafts and farm-fresh foods brought in for the day. We found Biscuit Festival mugs . . .
and Blackberry Farm products you can purchase online or from their catalog. (No surprise: They have blackberry jam!) Click here for more information.
And wouldn't you know, we'd find something never seen by us before. Thrifty Girl brought something every biscuit lover needs to wear: biscuit head bands — I kid you not! One of kind, wouldn't you say?
In fact, it's just the sort of thing Erin Donovan, broadcaster for WBIR, might like to add to her growing wardrobe of must-have wearables with a biscuit theme! She's the Biscuit Queen for a reason!
If you haven't been to the International Biscuit Festival, make plans for next year: May 14-16, 2014. It's a feast. It's a fun day. And as organizer John Craig says, Who doesn't love a biscuit?

Come on down! We'd love to have you!
So fun Rusha – but the first and last are just wonderful!! Makes me want to start our own biscuit festival here in the south!! LOL.
ciao! a biscuit festival would be just a luvFAB treat. great captures.
Just come on to Knoxville and eat some great biscuits! We love this festival, and one ticket gives you your choice of three biscuits — more than we can possibly down at one time. We leave full and happy!

So good to hear from you. I love the Namaste at the end of your comment. We heard that all the time in Nepal! Best wishes for continued success!
My mother, bless her heart, was a housewife of the 50s and 60s. She thought homemade biscuits meant that she slammed the container against the edge of the counter so she could release the refrigerated biscuit dough inside the cylinder. But, as you all said, they were my mother's biscuits and I thought they were great! Only later did I find out that "real" homemade biscuits are a little different. And I am loving experimenting to determine the best.
I don't know how all these vendors at the Biscuit Festival can bring hot, fluffy, delicious biscuits to a tent downtown, but they do. The least I can do is show my appreciation for their efforts by diving in!!! Thanks for commenting, Cynthia!
You're my kinda guy! I had no idea that this biscuit festival would take off the way it has — so popular now. But I guess it's the same sentiment you just shared: never a bad biscuit!
I have to agree that my mom's biscuits were great, and so was her cornbread. She didn't, however, have access to Benton's bacon!!! Thanks for reading and commenting, Mary.

S. Arabia to open border, airports to Qatari pilgrims

Haj move could be first sign of diplomatic thaw, but observers say crisis far from over
RIYADH • Qatari pilgrims began arriving in Saudi Arabia yesterday after Saudi King Salman ordered the reopening of the border with the emirate to facilitate the annual haj pilgrimage, in the first sign of a thaw after the worst diplomatic crisis in the Gulf in years.
The Salwa border crossing has been closed since June 5, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates severed diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar over accusations the emirate fostered Islamist extremists.
Qatar has denied the allegation.
The announcement to reopen the frontier for Qatari pilgrims came after the powerful Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman received an envoy from Doha, the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said, in the first public high-level encounter between the nations since the crisis erupted.
King Salman has allowed "the entry of Qatari pilgrims to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through Salwa border crossing to perform haj, and to allow all Qatari nationals who wish to enter for haj without electronic permits", a statement on the SPA website said.
He also ordered that private jets belonging to Saudi airlines be sent to Doha airport "to bring all Qatari pilgrims at his expense".
The decision also came after Prince Mohammed received a phone call from United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who has sought repeatedly to defuse the regional crisis, SPA reported, without revealing the details of the conversation.
Saudi Arabia last month said Qatari pilgrims would be allowed to enter the kingdom for the haj this year but imposed clear restrictions, including flying via airlines approved by Riyadh.
Doha has accused Riyadh of politicising the haj and jeopardising the pilgrimage to Mecca by refusing to guarantee the safety of Qatari citizens.
The haj, a pillar of Islam that capable Muslims must perform at least once, is to take place at the beginning of next month. The pilgrimage is expected to draw around two million people this year.
Prince Mohammed emphasised the "historical relations between Saudi and Qatari people" after his meeting with the Qatari envoy, Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali bin Abdullah bin Jassim al-Thani, SPA said.
But some observers cautioned that the diplomatic crisis was far from over despite the apparent bonhomie.
"This is a goodwill gesture towards the Qatari people and not a breakthrough with the Qatari (government)," Mr Ali Shihabi of Washington-based think-tank Arabia Foundation said on Twitter, referring to the reopening of the border.
A Qatari government spokes- man also appeared to downplay any breakthrough, saying the envoy did not have a post in the government.
Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed said the envoy had been in Riyadh on a personal basis.
While welcoming the latest Saudi decision, the minister also lashed out at the "politicisation" of the haj.

Q: Integrating a solid using cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates

The region $W$ is the cone shown below (see image).
The angle at the vertex is $π/3$, and the top is flat and at a height of $7\sqrt{3}$.
Write the limits of integration for $\int_W dV$ in the following coordinates (do not reduce the domain of integration by taking advantage of symmetry):

Progress
As seen in the image, the ones highlighted in red are those I cannot figure out. I'm not sure if I have some fundamental misconceptions that allows me to derive some of the boundaries but not others, but if someone can kindly explain how to find those values in red, I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

A: The cross-sectional radius of the cone increases linearly with $z$, so the lower limit of $z$ also increases linearly.  So $1/7$th of the way up, the lower $z$ limit needs to be $\sqrt{3}$.  From your bounds on $x$ and $y$, $\sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{2}$ at $z=1$, so the limits of $z$ are $\left(\sqrt{3/2}\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\right)$ to $7\sqrt{3}.$
For the cylindrical coordinates, it's much the same.  Replace $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ with $r$.  (You should have $r$ as the integrand instead of $\rho$.)
For the spherical coordinates, the $\rho$ dependence is with $\phi$ only.  At $\phi=0$, $\rho = 7\sqrt{3}$, while at $\phi=\pi/6$, $\rho=7\sqrt{3}/\cos(\pi/6).$  So your upper limit is $7\sqrt{3}/\cos\phi$.
The integrand is determined from the spherical volume element, which is
$$dV = \rho^2 \sin \theta\; d\rho\; d\theta\; d\phi.$$

The Youth Advisory Council (YAC) is made up of local young people who are passionate about many different areas of community life.
The Junior Council is made up of two primary school students from each of the 23 primary schools in the City of Rockingham.
There are committees for events, arts, school leaders, sports, youth groups, environment and music.
For their 'Us and Our Community' project, the Rockingham Advisory Committee ran a series of photography workshops encouraging young people to photograph their favourite and least favourite places in their community, and to manipulate the images to make improvements to the space.
Young people from the Rockingham Youth Advisory Council and Junior Council presented an impressive range of ideas to enhance facilities in their area, when the Commissioner visited on 11 October.
As part of their 'Us and Our Community' project they took photographs of local beaches, parks and outdoor areas and then compiled drawings depicting suggested changes as overlays.
Two of the Commissioner's staff met with members of the Rockingham Junior Council as guests at their monthly meeting. The Rockingham Junior Council is made up of 2 students from each of the 23 primary schools in the City of Rockingham.

Symptomatic COVID Could Bring on Emergency Delivery in Pregnant Women
MONDAY, Oct. 11, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnant women suffering from COVID-19 with symptoms are more likely to experience complications that call for an emergency delivery, a new study suggests.
On top of facing a slightly higher risk for needing an unexpected cesarean section, women with symptomatic COVID-19 were more likely to need oxygen support and their infants were more likely to need care in a neonatal intensive care unit than women with asymptomatic COVID-19, the researchers report.
"This study, similarly to other available data, provides evidence regarding the serious health consequences COVID-19, and especially symptomatic COVID-19 infection, has on the pregnant patient and her newborn child," said Dr. Eran Bornstein, vice chairman of obstetrics at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"Given the substantial decreased risk of contracting COVID-19 infection or having symptomatic or severe disease after vaccination, patients who are pregnant or plan to be pregnant should be encouraged to complete their COVID-19 vaccinations," said Bornstein, who was not part of the study.
Bornstein's advice echoes that of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which urges all pregnant women to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to protect both themselves and their newborn.
For the study, a team led by Dr. Rovnat Babazade, an assistant professor of anesthesiology at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, looked at 101 pregnant women with COVID-19 who delivered between March 2020 and September 2020.
Among these women, 31 had symptoms of COVID-19. Of these, 42% had fever, 39% had a cough, 26% had shortness of breath, 16% had muscle pain, 16% had chills and 10% had chest pain.
The researchers found that 58% of the symptomatic women delivered in emergency circumstances, compared with 47% of women who had COVID-19 but no symptoms.
Symptomatic mothers were more likely to have complications, including breech birth, decreased fetal movement, too little amniotic fluid, and slowing or stopping of labor.
Also, their babies were more likely to need oxygen support (31% vs. 29%) and be admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (44% vs. 36%). One baby whose mother was symptomatic tested positive for COVID-19 after delivery, possibly infected from the mother, researchers said.
The rates of C-section delivery were higher among symptomatic women (65%) than among asymptomatic women (62%). These rates, however, were significantly higher than among the general population (32%), the researchers noted.
The findings were presented on Saturday at the virtual annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Findings presented at medical meetings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
"We know that the vaccine is safe during pregnancy, we're getting a ton of accumulating data on this," said infectious disease expert Dr. Marc Siegel, a clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City.
"We know that COVID is unsafe during pregnancy and that when you have COVID and you're pregnant, your chances of miscarriage go way up, your chances of being in the ICU go way up, and your chances of dying go way up," said Siegel, who had no role in the study.
COVID leads to compromised labor and delivery. "When you deliver you want to be in the best possible health, not battling a virus, not weakened, not with a fever, not with fatigue and not gasping for air," Siegel said.
He said that when the vaccine first became available, the question about its effect on pregnancy and the fetus were legitimate concerns.
"Flash forward to October. Well, we've had a lot of data that the vaccines are safe during pregnancy, and we know the vaccine is safe, period," Siegel said. "So if you're planning a child, get vaccinated now, and if you're in your first trimester, get vaccinated."

Quality of life can be improved when communities offer support to families, teachers, and caregivers, to ensure the healthy physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development and school readiness of young children.
The first years of life are crucial for a child's development and set the stage for future challenges or successes. In order to maintain a high quality of life in North Dakota, we need to invest in our children. Children raised in loving and stable environments that provide positive stimulation, and who receive early screening and intervention for health or developmental problems, enter school ready to do their best. The return on investment in these early years will pay back over a child's entire lifetime.
Birth weight can provide important insight into a child's long-term health and future success. During 2016, about 7 percent of babies in North Dakota were born with low birth weight (7.6%). Region IV (i.e., Grand Forks, Pembina, and Walsh counties) had the highest percentage of babies born with low birth weight in 2016 (8.0%).
Among 3 and 4 year olds in North Dakota, 28.6 percent were in preschool (i.e., organized child care programs offering educational experiences for children during the years preceding kindergarten – including Head Start) in 2016; the national average was 48.0 percent.
The percentage of young children (under 6 years old) for whom all parents are working increased in North Dakota from 66.1 percent in 2015 to 73.5 percent in 2016 and is higher than the national average at 65.5 percent. Household income and child care availability and affordability can be important factors that influence parents' participation in the labor force.
Low birth weight babies may have higher risks for certain health problems or suffer from social development or learning disabilities. Prevention strategies in addition to improving the health behaviors of pregnant women and screening during pregnancy include improving women's general health over the life cycle and effective interventions and changes in the social determinants of health (e.g., poverty, education, job opportunities).
Receiving quality prenatal care continued with acquiring early learning experiences in the years preceding kindergarten, are establishing the conditions that promote successful educational achievement for children.
An investment in our young children is an investment in the future economy and workforce of our state.
"The Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Block Grant Program—the Nation's oldest federal-state partnership—aims to improve the health and well-being of women, particularly mothers, and children. Every five years, legislation requires ND to develop a comprehensive statewide needs assessment for the MCH Services Title V Block Grant Program. This needs assessment is an ongoing collaborative process, one that is critical to program planning and development and enables the state to target services and monitor the effectiveness of interventions that support improvements in the health, safety and well-being of the MCH population."

Entertainment Industry Question 66: Is Facebook a good place to network?
This is a question that came up at a networking breakfast I attended yesterday, and the speaker steered the participant in another direction.
In the famous words of Ron Burgundy AKA Anchorman "AGREE TO DISAGREE!"
I think Facebook is a GREAT resource for networking ESPECIALLY for all of you shy people out there who hate going to networking events.
- A client needed a DP to shoot his short film, starring recognizable talent. I posted it on my status, and he received more than enough responses, set up interviews with some, and hired his DP.
- A Camera Operator needed a Camera Assistant ASAP. I posted it on my status. The job was filled within minutes.
Facebook gives you the opportunity to post about work/business, while also allowing them access to your personal life. Post photos of your family, pets, hobbies, etc. so people can learn what you have in common.
They also get a sense of your personality. By reading your status updates, they will see if you have like-minded interests, similar sense of humor, share a love for Jack Bauer, etc.
If you don't live in Hollywood, you don't get to be in people's faces as much as necessary. This allows you to be a part of people's lives, wherever you live.
I "friended" a large number of Camera Operators who had mutual friends. I'd known their names, from my years of being the Career Coach at The Cinematographers Guild, but I'd never met them. This year, at the SOC Awards, I met them in person, recognizing them from their Facebook pictures, and walking over saying, "Hey, Facebook Friend!"
I say GO FOR IT!
ANOTHER great resource for entertainment industry networking is Stage 32 because it's exclusively for entertainment professionals. See my article: Pitch Perfect on how to maximize networking on Stage 32.

Malamir () fue el gobernante de Bulgaria en  831 a 836.

Malamir fue hijo de Omurtag y nieto de Krum. Su nombre es de origen eslavo, y se afirma que es un Knyaz ("кънѧѕь", kъnędzь) búlgaro en poseer un nombre de este origen. Esto ha llevado a la especulación de que su madre fuera eslava, aunque todavía no ha sido demostrado.

Malamir se convirtió en gobernante de Bulgaria en el año 831 tras la muerte de su padre Omurtag, porque su hermano mayor Enravota (Voin) había perdido su derecho a la sucesión por convertirse en cristiano. Es posible que Malamir fuera joven e inexperto en el momento de su ascensión, y que los asuntos del estado fueran manejados por su ministro (kavján) Isbul.

Alrededor de 833 Malamir ejecutó a su hermano mayor Enravota por negarse a renunciar al cristianismo. Después de la expiración del tratado de paz original de 20 años con el Imperio Bizantino en el año 836, el emperador Teófilo asoló las regiones dentro de la frontera búlgara. Los búlgaros tomaron represalias, y bajo la dirección de Isbul llegaron a Adrianópolis. En ese momento, si no antes, los búlgaros anexaron Filipópolis (Plovdiv) y sus alrededores. Varias inscripciones monumentales sobrevivientes de este reinado hacen referencia a las victorias de Bulgaria y otras a la continuación de las actividades de construcción en y cerca de Pliska. Malamir murió en 836, al parecer como venganza por la ejecución de su hermano mayor.

En varios estudios anteriores Malamir es identificado con su sucesor Presian I, y se asume que sobrevivió hasta el 850 como el antecesor directo de Boris I. Esto es muy poco probable, Malamir como se atestigua había sido sucedido por su sobrino (el hijo de su hermano Zvinica), mientras que Boris I fue precedido por su padre Presian I. Zlatarski resolvió el problema en las fuentes fragmentarias, determinando que el sobrino no identificado de Malamir y sucesor fue de hecho, Presian I, y Boris fue el hijo de éste.

Q: How can I prevent Angular from re-sorting my list while editing? I created a little application using Angular to manage Todolists. Each list has a number of todos. Each todo has attributes name, value1 and value2.
Each list should be sorted automatically by Angular, so I used ng-repeat="todo in selectedList.todos | orderBy: todoOrderFilter":

        {{todo.name}} (Value1: {{todo.value1}}, Value2 {{todo.value2}})
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-xs" ng-click="editTodo(todo)"> Edit</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs floatright" ng-click="deleteTodo(todo)"> Delete</button>

In my controller I defined my order filter like this:
$scope.todoOrderFilter = function (todo) {
    return todo.value1 * todo.value2;
};

This works well so far until I tried to make each row editable. To accomplish this, I added an additional
 with input elements to edit the values inside each
 and also added ng-hide="todo.editing" and ng-show="todo.editing" to be able to turn on/off edit mode by simply setting todo.editing=true or false;
Full HTML looks like this:

        {{todo.name}} (Value1: {{todo.value1}}, Value2 {{todo.value2}})
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning btn-xs" ng-click="editTodo(todo)"> Edit</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-xs floatright" ng-click="deleteTodo(todo)"> Delete</button>

        <input id="todoname" ng-model="todo.name" ng-enter="updateTodo(todo)" type="text" class="form-control marginBottom" placeholder="Todo speichern" aria-describedby="basic-addon2"></input>
        Value1: <input ng-model="todo.value1" ng-enter="updateTodo(todo)" type="text" class="form-control marginBottom" placeholder="Value1" aria-describedby="basic-addon2"></input>
        Value2: <input ng-model="todo.value2" ng-enter="updateTodo(todo)" type="text" class="form-control marginBottom" placeholder="Value2" aria-describedby="basic-addon2"></input>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="updateTodo(todo)">Save</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" ng-click="cancelUpdateTodo(todo)">Cancel</button>

Edit button handler:
$scope.editTodo = function(todo) {
    todo.editing = true;
};

This kinda works but while I edit input fields for value1 or value2 my sort function is automatically triggered which causes the
 elements to jump up and down which is really bad.
So what I basically want is that my auto sort filter is disabled while todo.editing=true.
So far I found these similar questions on SO but they weren't really helpful:

*

*Disabling orderBy in AngularJS while editing the list (Don't understand how to apply the answer there to my code)

*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30845516/stop-ng-repeat-auto-sorting-your-objects-while-editing-text-box-and-checkbox-in (No answer)

Question: How can I prevent Angular from resorting the todo list while todo.editing=true?

A: The solution was to edit a copy of the object instead of directly editing it. Then, replace the original object with the copy when the user finished editing.

A: I firmly believe in utilising code that has already been written for us by the Angular team, and building upon it. As such, I think this is a perfect scenario for decorating the built-in orderBy filter to accept a fourth argument (ignore).
I haven't tested this myself very thoroughly but it should do the trick;
app.config(function ($provide) {
  $provide.decorator('orderByFilter', function ($delegate) {
    // Store the last ordered state.
    var previousState;

    return function (arr, predicate, reverse, ignore) {
      // If ignore evaluates to a truthy value, return the previous state.
      if (!!ignore) {
        return previousState || arr;
      }

      // Apply the regular orderBy filter.
      var order = $delegate.apply(null, arguments);

      // Overwrite the previous state with the most recent order state.
      previousState = order;

      // Return the latest order state.
      return order;
    }
  });
});

Usage:

I hope all of that makes sense (maybe even just works™).


"What is spey?" is a very common question for us to get at the fly shop. In the most basic terms, spey is simply a style of casting that allows anglers to throw generous amounts of line with minimal room for a traditional backcast. This is accomplished through a framework of dynamic roll casting.
Things are starting to cool down in Northern Michigan and if you are planning on getting out to enjoy to the fantastic fishing we have you need to think about staying warm on the water. Layering systems are a dynamic, flexible way to stay warm and dry through whatever Northern Michigan throws at us.
It's October and 25 degrees this morning on the river. My breath is distinct in the morning glow that barely reaches the riverbank. My fingers are starting to numb and I know in five minutes they'll be nearly useless.
The growing popularity of bead fishing has totally changed the way anglers chase Salmon and Steelhead in Northern Michigan. Beads are a highly effective and very realistic egg imitation that anglers can use in place of more traditional yarn flies.

Q: Trying to make udp server echo back to udp client and print on the screen, as well have udp client receive messages I'm trying to modify these two programs. I want to have udpclient.c be able to receive messages and have udpserver.c echo the message back to the client. I'd also like to have the udpclient time tag messages before it sends them. Received messages should result in the IP address of the server and the Round Trip Time (RTT) being printed on the client side. When I test it, client sends and server receives but server does not echo back message. The place that I attempted to modify is in the infinite while loop of each program afer "//added"

A: (If you read my earlier answer, please ignore it. It was incorrect.)
You missed a '&' in front of addrlen on line 82 in udpserver.c. It should be:
size = recvfrom(sock, buffer, nbytes, flags, (struct sockaddr *)&from, &addrlen);

Other than that your code is working fine (I ran it). However, there are three things I would like to mention:

*

*The client does not need to to bind his socket to receive messages from the server.

*The server does not need to create a new socket to send messages to the client. Just use the socket you called recvfrom with.

*Sockets should be closed once they are not used anymore (even at the end of the program). Having too many open sockets will lead to not being able to create any new socket.

It is now possible to specify an exclusion list of users with database-level privileges on all databases in the mysql.user table. This is done using a regular expression in the MySQL User Account advisor. An event is generated for any user which does not match the defined expression.
For more information, see MySQL User Account.
This change replaces the Non-root User Has DB, Table, Or Index Privileges On All Databases advisor, and moves its functionality to the MySQL User Account advisor. If you changed the scheduling or thresholds on the Non-root User Has DB, Table, Or Index Privileges On All Databases advisor, the changes will be lost after upgrading to this version.
References: See also: Bug #17742263, Bug #26130781.
The MySQL server, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, has been upgraded to MySQL 5.7.19.
Changes have been made to the prerequisites of MySQL 5.7.19.
libnuma.so.1 must be present on Linux platforms. The MySQL Enterprise Service Manager full and upgrade installers check for the existence of this library.
During a MySQL Enterprise Service Manager upgrade, the upgrade installer runs the mysql_upgrade utility.
The Tomcat server, bundled with the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, has been upgraded to 8.5.16.
The bundled JRE was updated to 1.8.0_141 for both the Agent and Service Manager.
--mysql_ssl is no longer required by the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager installer and has been removed.
Data Purge settings have been added for aggregated data. For more information, see Data Purge Behavior.
On Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X platforms, the agent installer did not check the installation directory to ensure it had the required permissions to install MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent in that location.
The current installation directory could not be accessed by non-root users.
to 755 for this directory.
Under certain circumstances, such as filtering on many graphs on the All Timeseries page, the resulting graphs were not correctly populated with data. This was caused by the default value for the maxHttpHeaderSize in the Tomcat configuration file, server.xml, which is set too low for large quantities of data. The value is set to 32K by default.
As of this release, the value of maxHttpHeaderSize is doubled, to 64K, and applied to both the SSL and non-SSL connector configurations in server.xml.
If you are upgrading to this version from a previous version, you must edit server.xml and add maxHttpHeaderSize="65536" to each of the default connectors.
Sparkline graphs did not refresh dynamically.
The Group Replication advisor, when expanded, listed MySQL instances which were not involved in Group Replication.
Under certain circumstances, if the server hosting MySQL Enterprise Service Manager was restarted, MySQL Enterprise Service Manager failed to restart, logging the following error: Error creating bean with name 'groupReplicationMembership'.
The Add a new graph drop-down menu was not displayed on the Overview dashboard.
It was not possible to open a selected range of a timeseries graph in the Query Analyzer. The Query Analysis link did not behave as expected.
An error was displayed when selecting the Table Statistics report: Unable to generate SYS Schema report for selected MySQL Server. (U0422).
As of this release, the agent's Admin, General, and Limited users are granted the EXECUTE privilege.
If you defined these users manually, you must grant them the EXECUTE privilege.
For more information, see Creating MySQL User Accounts for the Monitor Agent.
the Data Purge Behavior drop-down menus displayed Never if the first-time setup was performed using the configuration utility, and the purge values set to any value not divisible by 7.
The values were correctly defined, this was a display issue, only.
Graphs were not included in the Support Diagnostics report.
It was not possible to edit multiple advisors using the Edit Selected button.
Agent host names were not displayed in the list of agents on the Advisors page, only the alphanumeric agent ID was displayed in truncated form. This made it difficult to identify the agent.
As of this release, the agent is listed with the name of the host on which it is installed, instead of the alphanumeric ID.
Clicking on the Database Availability graph, on the Overview dashboard, opened a blank page instead of the Events page.
On Mac OS X platforms, the java_home_dir variable was not set properly by the installer. As a result, the configuration report contained the following error: ***unknown variable java_home_dir.
On Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X platforms, the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager upgrade installer could not upgrade the installation if the installation directory contained files or directories created by a different user, or a user with permissions which differed from those of the user running the upgrade.
As of this release, the installers check the installation directory to ensure all files and directories have the correct permissions. If they do not, it exits with an informative error message.
Under certain circumstances, it was not possible to monitor an instance which had previously been monitored and then deleted by MySQL Enterprise Service Manager.
Graph data was not displayed for intervals of four or more days if the interval was defined on a combined graph.
