BMW 6 Series Gran Diesel Coupe vs Mercedes CLS vs Porsche Panamera: Review & Comparisons
The new BMW 6 Series Gran Diesel Coupe is elegant, fairly economical and has sporty pretensions. If you want something a bit more luxurious than the 5 Series, it ticks a lot of boxes. It's a lot like the two-door 6 Series in many ways but gets two more doors and more length. It also boasts more space in the rear as well as a larger boot. Overall, it's one of the most accommodating if expensive BMW's on the market.

Are BMW expensive to own?
We take a look at the cost of owning a BMW
When you are looking at a new car, there are many different costs that you need to think about. Of course, there is the initial purchase of the car (or lease), but there are also running costs, insurance, tax...the list goes on. These further costs can make some cars considerably more expensive than others. A car that doesn't cost much initially could cost a lot in running or repair costs. So it's important that you think about all of these things before you decide which car you buy. And on that note, one of the questions we get a lot at here at OSV is 'are BMW cars expensive to own?' and it's a very valid question...

Best cars for accountants
Ever wondered what the life of an accountant would be like? We find out what an accountants typical day is like and what car would best suit their needs
Accountants have this stereotype of being quite.... vanilla. You know, a bit magnolia. But almost every accountant I have met have been quite the opposite. Working with numbers is no great joy. Least of all for me, I'm very much more of a words type person. So perhaps it's that perception that working with numbers is boring that leads to this stereotype. When someone utters accountant I am immediately faced with a mental image of someone wearing an ill-fitting suit and thick-rimmed glasses carrying a calculator. Working on the assumption that the stereotypical accountant is more of a myth, I researched some of the most popular cars driven by accountants. To ensure this list of the best cars for accountants is accurate (because let's face it our accountants love accuracy). I've also looked into a typical day in the life of an accountant. So let's take a look at the best cars for accountants.

A Massive Review of the 2017 BMW 5 Series
Is the 2017 BMW 5 Series beautiful and beast-like? Or is it as bland as blancmange? Renowned motoring journalist and BMW connoisseur, Tim Barnes-Clay, drove it to find out
The BMW 5 Series is King of all it surveys. From atop the executive car castle, it might be feeling a little bit worried, though. Pretenders to its throne have strengthened and gathered at the gates to compete, so the 5 Series has had to up its game in a bid to stay on top. The question is, has it done enough to fight off the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6? Has BMW managed to build yet another fantastic saloon?

'I am excited to associate with director Shashank in my first solo lead'
Rachana Inder, who started her career with Krishna's Love Mocktail bags her fourth Kannada project and a big one
Published: 11th August 2021 09:36 AM | Last Updated: 11th August 2021 09:36 AM | A+A A-
Praveen and director Shashank
By Express News Service
Rachana Inder will be the face of director Shashank's Love 360, which will be a Kannada and Telugu bilingual. An official announcement was made by the director on his social media platforms. "She is going to make you laugh, cry and fly. The beautiful and talented Rachana Inder will play the female lead in #Love360," mentioned the director.
Rachana will be featured alongside debutant Praveen, who is a medical student foraying into the film industry. The director, who is bankrolling the project under his banner, Shashank Films, had shortlisted a couple of heroines for the role and finally zeroed in on Rachana.
The upcoming talent from Sandalwood made a splash with her debut Love Mocktail directed by Krishna. She later bagged a couple of good projects, including Ganesh-starrer Tribble Riding, directed by Mahesh Gowda, and Harikathe Alla Girikathe starring Rishab.
Love 360 will mark her first film as a solo lead, and an excited Rachana says, "I am doubly happy to be part of a Shashank film." Rachana is happy that she could merit her first audition for a director who gives importance to heroines in his films.
"He was looking for an actor, who can perform, and I was overwhelmed when he said that I fit the bill. I can't reveal any details about the character, but what Shashank sir has offered is challenging and requires a lot of effort from my end. I have a big task ahead."
Rachana says that she has just a song pending for Tribble Riding, and has completed shooting Harikathe Alla Girikathe. "My current focus will be on Love 360. I am looking forward to begin with the photoshoot, and then start shooting from August 27," she says. Love 360 will have Arjun Janya scoring music and cinematography by Abhilash Kalathi.

While attending the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, Winnifred Wylde believes she witnessed a woman being kidnapped. She tries to convince her father, an inspector with the Chicago police, to look into reports of mysterious disappearances around the White City. Inspector Wylde tries to dismiss her claims as exaggeration of an overactive imagination, but he eventually concedes to letting her go undercover as secretary to the man in question--if she takes her pistol for protection and Jude Thorpe, a policeman, for bodyguard.
Will she be able to expose H. H. Holmes's illicit activity, or will Winnifred become his next victim?

Major League Baseball | St. Louis Cardinals
By Randy Karraker | July 17, 2017
Other Teams' Trades Have Put the Cardinals Behind the NL Pack, but They Can Still Deal
The big question surrounding the mediocre Cardinals has been "should they be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?" On the Bernie Miklasz show last week, club chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. said they don't plan to be buyers or sellers, they like to be "dealers."
Well, any deal they make now is going to be impractical in terms of trying to win in 2017. The needs are too great for one move to make a substantial, realistic enough difference in their outlook. And what the National League powers have already done or are rumored to be doing puts the Cardinals even further behind the pack.
The Cubs needed starting pitching, and acquired lefty Jose Quintana from the crosstown White Sox Friday. They're also rumored to be in the running for former Oakland All-Star righthander Sonny Gray. The Nationals had the National League's worst bullpen at the All Star break, but on Sunday, they made a move, sending two prospects to Oakland for another former All-Star, lefty Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson.
Madson is a great story. He saved 32 games for Philadelphia in 2011, and then missed the '12, '13 and '14 seasons with various arm injuries. He returned with Kansas City in 2015 and had a 2.13 ERA in 68 games, then moved to the A's for another 30 saves last season. Doolittle was an All Star in a 22-save 2013 and has dominated lefthanded hitters during his career…allowing a .184 batting average and a .512 OPS to left-handed hitters in six years. In 340 career plate appearances against lefties, Doolittle has allowed six home runs.
Los Angeles have won 23-of-26 and are rumored to be after Baltimore's Zach Britton, who last year turned in one of history's most dominant relief seasons. The overloaded Dodgers are also one of the teams…along with the Cardinals…rumored to be interested in Detroit outfielder J.D. Martinez.
The trades that have already gone down set the Cardinals further behind the pack and if the rumors come to pass, the Cards will only be able to keep pace, not overtake the Brewers. If Milwaukee…another club rumored to be trying to upgrade…goes 34-34 the rest of the way, the Cardinals would have to go 42-29 to tie them. With the defensive and bullpen woes facing this team, how are they going to go on a run in which they play .591 ball after failing to get to .500 since June 2?
From the opening day roster, perhaps only Carlos Martinez, Mike Leake, Yadier Molina and Jedd Gyorko have met expectations for the club. Clearly, Jhonny Peralta, Aledmys Diaz, Randal Grichuk, Jonathon Broxton and Miguel Socolovich didn't live up to what the Cardinals thought they would be. They're either gone or have spent time in the minors and Matt Adams has lived up to hopes after his trade to Atlanta.
Adam Wainwright struggled mightily in April and most of June. Michael Wacha hasn't been able to deliver innings. Lance Lynn didn't have a quality start in June until his last one, and had a 5.68 ERA for the month. Mike Leake got off to an incredible start. However, in each progressive month, Leake's ERA, OPB, SLG and OPS against have gone up.
In the bullpen, every member has had his struggles. Trevor Rosenthal, Seung-Hwan Oh, Brett Cecil, Kevin Siegrist, Matt Bowman and everyone else down there aside from Tyler Lyons has struggled at various times, especially right now. What we thought was a strength before the season has become a liability.
Even Dexter Fowler, Stephen Piscotty, Kolten Wong, Matt Carpenter (especially as a third-place hitter) and Greg Garcia haven't lived up to expectations. When that many players are having that much trouble nearly 100 games into the season, it's going to be hard to fix enough of them to rebound in that year.
So, DeWitt is right. The Cardinals should be looking to make deals that benefit them for 2018. With all their young pitching, it's highly unlikely that they'll keep Lynn. They should auction him off to the highest bidder. Lynn's market value at the moment is probably as high as it's been all season, and with Quintana having been traded, the supply is less.
If they can get a veteran shortstop that's great defensively, they should. The interest in J.D. Martinez and Josh Donaldson should be authentic. Martinez would be a player they'd hope to introduce to St. Louis and keep next year. Donaldson is under team control for 2018, but they would try to extend a player like that, too.
The Cardinals need to build a unit. There are too many sixth-place hitting second basemen on the roster right now. They also need to prepare to play great defense next year. What has transpired over the last month defensively needs to continue.
Aside from Lynn there isn't much to sell, but the Cardinals have enough pitching and young outfield depth to buy. Make the deals. Hope for the best the rest of this season. Hey, the Cardinals have made a miraculous turnaround before, but if this season DOESN'T turn around they should get 2018's foundation in place ASAP.

Tevez apologizes to Man City after five-month feud
By Rob Harris AP
LONDON — Carlos Tevez finally apologized to Manchester City on Tuesday following a five-month feud that has cost him close to 10 million pounds (US$17 million), and could soon return to action for the club after withdrawing an appeal against his latest fines. The Argentina striker has not played for the Premier League leaders since September when he refused to warm up during a Champions League match and only returned last week from a three-month unauthorized absence at home. City coach Roberto Mancini had initially told Tevez he would never play for City again after his act of public insubordination, but later softened his stance and only asked for an apology. That came on Tuesday, with City announcing that Tevez has "apologized to all concerned for his recent conduct." "I wish to apologize sincerely and unreservedly to everybody I have let down and to whom my actions over the last few months have caused offense," Tevez added in the same statement. "My wish is to concentrate on playing football for Manchester City Football Club." Tevez's relations with City broke down during last season after the striker said he wanted to leave England to be closer to his family, which moved back to Argentina after failing to settle in Manchester. However, the club refused the then-captain's transfer request, and Tevez went on to help City end a 35-year trophy drought with a victory in the FA Cup final. But he then enraged Mancini with his act of rebellion at Bayern Munich in September. The dispute has cost Tevez around 10 million pounds (US$17 million) in fines or lost earnings, including a multi-million pound bonus he missed out on by handing in the transfer request. He had been challenging the most recent fine of around 1.2 million pounds (US$2 million), but will now accept the punishment. "Carlos has … withdrawn his appeal against the club's finding of gross misconduct which was due to be heard by a Premier League panel in the coming days," City said. "He has since begun a training program designed to return him to optimum fitness." Tevez had hoped to join AC Milan in the January transfer window but a deal broke down. After the Munich incident, Tevez was suspended by City for two weeks and fined a fortnight's wages for refusing to resume refusing to warming up during the match. An internal disciplinary hearing found Tevez guilty of five breaches of contract, including bringing the club into disrepute and failing to follow the instructions of his manager. Returning to Argentina in the wake of those sanctions — without permission — seemed to have ended any hope of the striker playing for City again, but he could now return to action when he is fit. City has not struggled without him, with the team on course to win the English championship for the first time since 1968 as it sits top of the standings.

Why You Should Never Ask Iron Maiden to Lip-Sync on TV
By Damian Fanelli 07 June 2019
What happens when you ask one of the world's biggest metal bands to lip-sync on TV?
What happens when you ask one of the world's biggest metal bands to lip-sync on TV? Look no further (or is it farther?) than this vintage—and hilarious—Iron Maiden clip from 1986.
That August, a German TV show, P.I.T., asked the hard-rocking U.K. band to lip-sync along to "Wasted Years"—which, we remind you, was not all that unusual in the mid-Eighties (and long before and long after).
Things start off pretty normal—except that Steve Harris and Dave Murray have switched instruments. Then, at the 40-second mark, Bruce Dickinson grabs Harris' guitar while Harris grabs the mic. Then Dickinson pretends to play a guitar solo during the verse. Suddenly drummer Nicko McBrain leaves his kit ... he's then handed a bass ... then Harris gets behind the drums.
There's really no point explaining the rest; you'll just have to watch. Let's just say things "sink" into madness. The motto here? Do NOT ask Iron Maiden to lip-sync.
"Wasted Years" is from the band's 1986 album, Somewhere in Time. Carry on!

'Believe Me' Shows Maturation of Faith-Based Filmmaking
Christian Toto Send an email September 25, 2014
Some of the criticisms are well earned, while others reflect the industry's unease when it comes to religion.
So the plot of "Believe Me," opening nationwide and on VOD services Sept. 26, sounds like more of the same. Except the film was made by folks who share a deep sense of faith.
The film follows Sam (a charming Alex Russell), a broke college student who gets his pals to tour the country raising money for a faith-friendly cause. Only Sam is a fraud, a young man of no discernible faith planning to use the funds to pay his student loans.
Believe Me Official Trailer #2 (2014) - Nick Offerman, Alex Russell Crime Comedy HD
The comedy shows Christians all too willing to believe anything, so long as the pitch men speak nicely, smile broadly and are standing up on a big stage.
The array of flawed characters is impressive for a genre which sometimes works without enough shades of gray.
It's hard to imagine a movie like "Believe Me" opening a decade ago, especially as faith-based films were still struggling to reach the marketplace. No more. Now, both mainstream and indie studios acknowledge the clout of faith-based filmmaking. "Believe Me" suggests a new, bold direction for the genre.
DID YOU KNOW: "Believe Me" co-star Miles Fisher, who bears an uncanny resemblance to Tom Cruise, imitated the actor discussing Scientology for 2008's "Superhero Movie." That clip quickly earned more than 10 million views online.

Neuroeconomist Paul Zak, also known as "Dr. Love," recommends at least eight hugs a day to be happier and enjoy better relationships.1 Psychotherapist Virginia Satir also famously said:2 "We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth." This may very well be the "hug threshold" that allows your body to produce ample amounts of oxytocin, which is released in response to physical touch. The neuropeptide oxytocin, released by your pituitary gland, is a naturally occurring hormone in your body with incredibly powerful, health-giving properties.


When I have something to do, I have every intention of doing exactly what it is that I set out to do. Sometimes I don't get it done. I'll get distracted by something — like my mind has a mind of its own. Do I mind that my mind seems to have a mind of its own? Of course I mind. Unfortunately, my mind doesn't seem to mind. So the only way to get my mind to mind is if I don't pay it any mind. Mind you, my mind's mind is not easily ignored. Once it sets its mind to something my mind doesn't mind if it hurts me — or anyone else — to get what is wants. But you see, I've got my mind made up to give my mind's mind a piece of my mind and I don't mind if my mind's mind loses its mind because I've finally decided to mind the store around here and take my mind back from my mind's mind so that I don't lose my own mind. In fact, I'm going to do that right now if you don't mind.

How to buy legal weed in the online era
It really shouldn't be this easy.
Andrew Tarantola, @terrortola
04.20.17 in Green
eyegelb via Getty Images
Medical cannabis is now legal in a majority of US states -- 28 plus DC, to be precise. As the legalization movement continues to gain momentum, buying weed "over the counter" is easier than ever. You no longer have to "know a guy"; you just need to know an app. And we're not talking about scouring the Dark Web for black market drug bazaars. These days, getting cannabis delivered to your door is only marginally tougher than signing up for Amazon Prime.
Unless you're lucky enough to already live in one of the seven states that have legalized recreational cannabis, the first thing you'll need to do is acquire a medical cannabis license to treat the valid medical condition that you are suffering from. If you're not sure whether you have a qualifying condition, you can find out here. Obtaining a license is especially easy to do online in California, where apps like EazeMD and NuggMD offer discounted evaluations that can be completed in just a few minutes. Unfortunately, it isn't quite so simple in other states and you'll likely have to make an in-person appointment instead. Luckily, sites like Medical Marijuana Doctors and Leafly maintain up-to-date listings of local doctors, as well as pricing and office hours. In some cases you can even make your appointment online too. How easy is that?
Once you have been legally empowered to purchase medical cannabis, it's time to educate yourself about what you're about to put in your body. Once again, your two best options are Leafly and Massroots, both of which offer in-depth strain guides that will present you with a good deal of factual knowledge -- at least a lot more than a list of strain names like Blue Dream, Green Crack and Sour Diesel will. Both sites also allow you to search for strains based on your medical condition or the desired effects you wish to achieve. You can even research the ever-growing range of edibles, from THC-infused honey sticks to intimate massage oils, and concentrates like oils, crumbles, waxes and shatters.
If you can't find the answers you're looking for on either of those sites, you're still in luck, because this is the internet. Classic stoner mags like High Times have long since made the jump to digital and have been joined by a plethora of reputable sites like Cannabis News, which aggregates stories from various wire services. There's also The Cannabist, which covers both breaking news and the wider stoner culture, and The Merry Jane, a news-and-features site started by Snoop Dogg.
Now that you have your license and know what you're doing, it's time to score some weed. Relax, it's 2017: the process is pretty mundane at this point. On one hand, you can schlep over to the nearest dispensary and stand in line. On the other hand, you could just pull out your phone and have your order delivered to your front door. A number of dispensaries, like The Green Cross and Medithrive in San Francisco, offer online ordering and GrubHub-style delivery.
Additionally, outfits like SpeedWeed in LA, Eaze and Meadow all offer dedicated delivery services, and sites like Where's Weed and Weedmaps will point you to reputable third parties. Unfortunately, as with online recommendations, the law on deliveries varies from state to state (and sometimes city to city), so make sure you know which side of the law your delivery guy is on.
Finally, we get to the good part: partaking. But I swear to all that is good and stony, you will put that homebrew honeybear bong down right now. You just went through all that trouble to get a license, educate yourself, find a dispensary, and buy some weed using your pocket computer and you're going to smoke it out of a ... is, is that a goddamn apple? That's like cooking a Wagyu steak to well-done and then slathering it in ketchup. I mean, we're living in the 21st century. We've got AI assistants and self-driving cars and you want to smoke weed that has been scientifically engineered to be as potent as possible, and tenderly grown in a state-of-the-art hydroponic farm, out of an empty soda can like it's 1983. For shame.
See, there's this new thing called vaping, which vaporizes the active ingredients (namely THC and the cannabinoids) of the flower without combusting the actual plant matter itself. That way, you get all of the beneficial effects without the gross tar and carcinogens.
There are a plethora of both tabletop and handheld vaporizers on the market today. Marquee brands like Volcano, Vape Xhale and Pax are generally both safe bets, but expect to pay a premium price for their premium performance. If you can't afford those, here are some things to look for in your vapes:
Always go for convection heating elements over conduction coils if at all possible. The coils tend to burn out quickly and get gummed up with concentrate.
Put the torch down. If you're getting into dabs, you'll be far better (and more safely) served by upgrading to an e-nail like the White Rhino Torrid, which retrofits your existing water pipe into a dabbing rig, or the Dr Dabber Boost and Source Nail, which allow you to do honest-to-goodness dabs while on the go.
Avoid knockoffs. There are a ton of cheap vapes circulating online, so make sure you know what you're buying before reaching for your wallet. The Wirecutter is always a good resource in these matters.
With these online resources, you should be able to better understand -- and more responsibly enjoy -- the wondrous world of semi-legalized weed using only your smartphone. Finally, you can stop tipping your delivery guy in nugs.

About Norma Gentner
Author and Songwriter, Norma Gentner, has always had an adventurous spirit, which is not only reflected in her Songs of Science, but also in her own life. Having grown up on a small island just minutes from Niagara Falls, she had opportunities to explore its shores and wildlife, which inspired her passion for science. While researching two of her titles, Dig A Dinosaur and Munch, Munch, Munch, Norma spent a week in the Badlands of Montana on a paleo-dig and later visited the El Rosario Monarch Sanctuary southwest of Mexico City. Each encounter with the natural world left her with questions—questions that needed answers.
Norma's writing career began as a series of serendipitous events when she was looking for a nonfiction song about bears to use with her kindergarten students. Knowing that music has a "Pied-Piper" effect, she began searching for a science song—one that would help students learn the content in a snap! There were so many facts just "lumbering" around in her head, and what happened next has always remained a mystery. Norma explains it this way: "I can't seem to find words to describe the magical place where melodies are born. They seem to suddenly appear and wrap themselves perfectly around the words or ideas. I got so excited when the did you know part of my first songbook appeared that I found myself shouting the first few verses of Bear Facts all the way home!" That was the beginning of a literary career that now includes a dozen science songbooks and tapes for children— all published by the Wright Group.
As a teacher with 33 years of experience as an elementary, special education and enrichment teacher, Norma comes with the expertise and knowledge to guide both children and teachers in discovering answers to their questions. In recognition of this talent, Norma Gentner was honored as a finalist representing New York State in the National Science Foundation's Presidential Award for Science and Mathematics Teaching in 1995 and 1997. She has also led students in achieving both Regional and National awards in Toshiba/NSTA's Explorasvisionnational science competition.

This article summarises some key concepts of one of the last paper published by RAN, titled "Dealing with violent extremist and terrorist offenders: Formalising cooperation among police, prison, probation and prosecution," co-written by one of our partners Jean-Luc Marret from Fondation pour la Recherche Stratégique.
In one of the last papers published by RAN, titled "Dealing with violent extremist and terrorist offenders: Formalising cooperation among police, prison, probation and prosecution" our partner Dr. Jean-Luc Marret explores how the cooperation between the four law enforcing entities police, prison, probation and prosecution is being shaped in EU Member States.
When talking about P/CVE approaches, it has been underlined the importance of cooperation among law enforcing entities such as police, prison and probation. Recently, the importance of prosecution has been noticed at European level, considered to be an inevitable fourth pillar in investigating, sentencing and the rehabilitation for violent extremism and terrorist offenders.
"Police, prison, probation and prosecution need each other, they constitute a reciprocal system of mutual dependency around the investigation and sentencing of violent extremism and terrorist offender and eventually around rehabilitation of these persons too", it states.
Cooperation among such "4P" entities started in a completely informal way, with people engaging in contact with each other motivated by their professional needs, for example to obtain certain kinds of information. Over time, with the growing number of diverse multi-agency cooperation systems in Europe, it came clear that a there was a need for more formalised cooperation procedures.
In 2016, the European Parliament and the EU Council to design the Directive (EU) 2016/68, to implement a national legislation regulating the obligations, limitations and possibilities for 4P cooperation, while guaranteeing the right of prosecute or investigated persons in the field of P/CVE.
According to Jean-Luc Marret and his co-author, this formalisation implies a step forward in how law enforcing entities work together while dealing with violent extremism for four reasons. First of all, the implementation of standardised working procedures allow a better circulation of information and intelligence as well as a better organised common knowledge base. In other words, it allows a strategic alignment of the 4P work and the avoidance of gaps and overlap while dealing with former violent extremism. It also increases the LEAs capacity for synthesis and analysis and finally, it reduces the risk of omitting a sensitive individual case. All in all, the collaboration helps to keep an eye on the bigger picture.
Although 4P cooperation is considered to do more good than harm, it clearly presents some challenges. Specifically, three have been identified in the RAN paper. Firstly, the new legislations takes time to be effective, as professionals have learn to how to operate within the new framework, especially in terms of confidentiality of information/intelligence sharing, protection of individuals' rights, their privacy or access to personal collected data. Secondly, formalised procedures entail the risk of delayed responsiveness because following procedures takes time. Thirdly, mark information tools could cause a sort of over-activity at operation staff level with potential backlash effects.


The Dereham prospect scored his first goal for his boyhood club against the Millers before conjuring a delightful pass for Max Aarons to put City in front at Carrow Road, and maintain their Championship promotion push.
Farke is loathe to shower too much praise on any of his talented youngsters. One need only recall this classic, after Cantwell had impressed in the comeback win at Nottingham Forest earlier this season.
"I am totally happy with how Todd develops and how he influences our game," said the head coach.
Todd Cantwell with his vast collection of trophies when playing for Dereham Town. Picture: Supplied by Kevin Owen.
Cantwell's second half show against the Millers underlined he is a fast learner.
Add that 'end product' Farke touched on again after Saturday's game and there will be plenty more headlines and plenty more acclaim for a boy who from as far back as his fledging youth career at Dereham Town wanted to be a professional footballer.
That tells you something about his character and his single-mindedness. Cantwell has not had as smooth a passage to the City first team as perhaps Aarons or Jamal Lewis.
There was a sense Farke and maybe sporting director Stuart Webber needed to be convinced he was ready to step onto the biggest stage in the green and yellow.
Farke highlighted not only the boost to his football education but the effect living away from home in a different country and a different culture would have on the person as much as the player.
Cantwell has that touch of arrogance you need to break out from the safe, comfortable academy environment.
For all the flair and technical ability there is also an impressive work ethic.
That comes through if you dip back in the archives and read interviews with his proud family or teachers.
The midfielder was not just the best player among his peers playing for the Magpies' junior sides or at Northgate High School before the Canaries' came calling. He was also one of the hardest working.
That drive and determination has carried him all the way to what may now be an increasingly influential role in the defining part of City's Championship season.
Onel Hernandez is likely to be back in the mix for the pre-festive period, once he overcomes a hamstring injury, but the Cuban will know he faces a challenge to reclaim his place on the left.
That, above all else, is arguably the most impressive facet of Cantwell's coming-of-age performance against Rotherham; following on from previous eye-catching cameos. The 20-year-old looks a more natural fit in the centre of the park.
You can see in seasons to come that vision and awareness could best be served in an advanced attacking midfield role.
But right now his route to the Norwich first team is on the left, with the licence to cut infield as he did to devastating effect on Saturday.
Maintain the same levels of productivity in the coming games and Farke may have to become accustomed to praising a young man the City fans delight in hailing 'One of their Own'.


Thrilled about her brand new open plan living space designed by Milray Park Designer Ellie Bradley, Erin decided to keep the good design going! Next destination, her 1-year-old son's nursery.
Struggling to add the finishing touches to the space for it to feel complete, Erin turned this time to Milray Park Designer Amy Collins Walker (of Interiors Addict) for help.
The room was painted in white, with grey curtains. I already had a brown timber cot and a grey armchair but nothing much else. It felt a bit cold and unfinished.
Brief: Brighten up the room up with accessories while keeping the existing furniture.
I wanted to create a nursery that would reflect my little boy's cheeky personality, something with some pop of colour! I also wanted something that could grow with him, and wouldn't be too hard to update here and there as he transitions from cot to bed!
AFTER: We bet Arlo's nights will be full of sweet dreams!
It was the second time I had worked with a designer on Milray Park eDecorating platform and trust me it's quite addictive!
Before moving in, I spent many days and nights browsing the web trying to figure out what I was looking for. My husband and I, also spent quite a few afternoons at the shopping centre thinking it would be so much easier to select furniture if we were to see them in our home first.
Milray Park has just made it so easy to shop for your home!
After having experienced the Milray Park service, now, I would rather pay a $299 flat-fee to get a professional to put together a curated shopping list of items that perfectly matches my vision for the space over doing it myself and end up with a mix and match of furniture I'm half satisfied with!
I am also a great fan of the Shop with Milray Park service. In total, I ended up saving something like $600 on my shopping list and I got to order all my items in one single transaction while my personal shopper took care of placing all my orders and coordinating my deliveries. Too easy!

Vanessa Fanfan, Michaël Benjamin Mikaben's wife, is organizing a fundraiser
22 October 2022 Évelyne Chaville and Translation : Évelyne Chaville
The widow of Haitian singer and musician, Mikaben, chose the gofundme platform to make this funding request. "Mika's Legacy" is the name of this fundraiser which is illustrated by a family photo where we see Mikaben and his wife Vanessa as well as their two children, Gabi and Léia, all smiling.
Vanessa Fanfan first thanked all those who have shown love and support to the family of her late husband, including his two children and the unborn baby and indicated what the money will be used for.
"On October 16th, we all experienced the untimely and tragic passing of our beloved Michael Benjamin, professionally known as Mikaben, many supporters have reached out wanting to give and contribute to the lives and future of his wife and three children.
He has always been known as the man of the people, and we couldn't be more grateful to have so much love and support at this time (…)
Mika has touched so many lives and brought happiness across the globe. He will forever be remembered and loved. These funds will be designated and allocated towards Mika's 3 children's college fund and his nonprofit foundation Ti-Souf", we can read on the online fundraising website.
The artist's fans responded to this call and more than 86 000 dollars had already been collected 24 hours after it was put online. Some have not hesitated to donate 500, 900, 1,000, 1,500 or 2,000 dollars but you can contribute from 1 US dollar by clicking on this link https://gofund.me/5bdd9062.

Blockchain a closed Network of systems that connected to a central server but not mutual network connection. Systems in this type of network accept shared Data to some limitations forced on the Data. The Distributed state is simply a shared state machine, with each block designing a modification to the updated distributed state. Mainly Blockchain Architecture contains Transactions, blocks, mining and consensus. Consequently Architecture of Blockchain includes so many Factors.
Generally,Transactions will show the purpose of blockchain. They known as Tiny Building Blocks of Blockchain online training system. Transactions contain the Address of sender, address of Recipient and a value. This is not much difference from an original transaction, which you will see on a Credit card statement. Especially,This is the part of Blockchain Solution Architecture.
A Bitcoin process contains Transactions. Each transaction of the Bitcoin will move the value of other Bitcoin from single address to another Address. A transaction modifies the position of accepted correct Block chain. A Blockchain is a Shared State Machine. It meant that every node catches own copy of Block chain. Incidentally ,the Updated state defined by, processing As a result of ,every Transaction in order as it shows in Architecture of Block chain.
Transactions packed and Delivered to every Node in the way a Block. As updated transactions Spread on the whole Network. Especially,Without Depending they processed by Each node.
Generally,Blocks are Data Structures, their need is to pack so many sets of transactions and Distributed to every Node in the Network. Blocks Designed by Miners. Blocks has a block header, known as meta Data that helps to verify the Duration of a block. This is important for Blockchain Application Architecture.
Critical Block Metadata contains current version of the Block design. Past block header hash and preferred block is parent block. Merkle root hash, a cryptographic hash for every transactions contained in this block. Especially in Architecture of Block chain.
Time that this block was Designed. Bits, the updated error used to design this block. Nonce is random value, that is the designer of a block is Initiated to control.
Accordingly, Blockchain are exact based systems by structure nodes. The systems in the network, they independently take decision and get which chain of blocks is widest and true. A block designed and set on the network. Every Node processes the block and Decides. As a result of it fixes in to the exact updated blockchain.
In the Context of Block chain, we have some types of blocks. Most blocks, will enlarge the updated main blockchain. These known as "main Branch Blocks". Blocks prefer a Default block, that is not available at current blockchain. This type of blocks are known as "side branch blocks". Especially,We have some blocks prefer a Default block, that is non-recognized by the node processing the block. These known as Orphan blocks.

Food On-The-Go Trend 2017 – Have we gone crazy for an im-pasta?
In April 2017 Bunzl Catering Supplies joined with key supply chain partners and leading retailers to launch the Square Mile Challenge at London's Liverpool Street Station and The Royal Exchange, with the full support of the City of London Corporation.
Kraft napkins and Towel napkins – what's new in tableware?
Food On-The-Go Trend 2017 – The monstrous freakshake.
Brimming with colourful ingredients, bowls full of deliciously creamy thick smoothie, pilled with an assortment of fruits, nuts and seeds have taken breakfast to a whole new level. The popularity of the smoothie bowl trend was first born when health food bloggers on Instagram flooded their feeds with bowl after bowl of vibrant, photogenic smoothies.
The juice and smoothie bars industry has grown rapidly over the past five years – its revenue is estimated at over £85 million, according to IBISWorld's Juice & Smoothie Bars' market research report 2016. Revenue growth has been driven by increases in health awareness and consumer demand for healthy, convenient, on-the-go beverages.
Inspired by a trip to Kenya when she was only 21 years old, Bunzl Catering Supplies National Account Manager, Shezmin Madhani, founded a charity called Nia Children's Foundation. Nia operates in Kenya to keep children in school by providing them with a proper breakfast and lunch.


U.S. Government Accountability Office and some IP information sources differ on whether there is a patent troll problem.
In a comprehensive study examining forces impacting the patent system mandated the American Invents Act, the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found that only about 20% of patent suits are brought by NPEs or so-called patent trolls. The majority of patent litigation, the report stated, are filed by companies that sell products.
This information is in stark contrast to what lawmakers and the public have been led to believe. Data reported this year by RPX and cited by Professor Colleen Chien of Santa Clara University School of Law, and other others in academic papers, says that in 2012 NPE suits were 62% of those filed. Rational Patent Exchange (NASDAQ: RPXC) is a publicly held patent aggregator that buys patents on behalf of its members, mainly large technology companies, to avoid being named in patent infringement suits.
It's not difficult to tell that some companies are interested in painting a more negative picture of patent litigation and plaintiffs than really exists.
NPE activity is up over the past few years for multiple reasons, and the licenses that result from them are not necessarily bad for innovation or commerce. The pace and meaning of innovation is accelerating rapidly. With new and complex ideas having greater meaning to businesses than ever, disputes over inventions are inevitable. So is misinformation.
Bad actors that file patents that should never have issued in the first place, and who routinely infringe others' inventions, are no better than businesses that launch nuisance suits. Unfortunately, there are a lot more of the former than the latter.
Information sources that fail to provide all of the information or to explain it in context compound the problem.

Are Daffodils Perennials?
By Jacob J. Wright ; Updated July 21, 2017
Daffodils, from the genus Narcissus, are harbingers of spring; their trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of yellow or white grow from bulbs. Daffodils are perennials that return year after year in the garden when given the proper culture. American gardeners grow daffodils across most of the temperate-climate states.
The key to a daffodil's life is the health of the underground bulb. The bulb is a modified stem that stores carbohydrates. From the bulb base, thin roots grow to absorb water and nutrients. Inside the bulb are layers of tissues, including cells that develop into flower buds and leaves. The bulb persists year after year. Cool soil temperatures in winter trigger hormones to form a preliminary flower bud. In late winter's warmth, the bud and leaves emerge from the soil. The blossom lasts one to three weeks, but the leaves endure into late spring. The foliage conducts photosynthesis to replenish the bulb with food so it can produce side bulbs and bloom again next spring.
Daffodils grow best when planted in a moist but well-drained soil. Avoid planting them in compacted or heavy soils that readily flood or remain wet for long periods after rain. Bulbs rot in oxygen-depleted ground. Ideally, when daffodil bulbs are dormant in summer, warm and dry soil is better than cool, wet conditions. Plant daffodils where the foliage basks in no less than 6 hours of sunlight daily. Without sufficient light, the leaves cannot replenish the energy reserves of the bulbs. Weak, malnourished bulbs fail to return another year.
Regional Considerations
In a broad context, daffodils grow well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3b through 9a. However, not all species or cultivars of daffodils do well in regions with climatic extremes, such as winter cold in zones 3 and 4 or summer heat in zone 9. In these areas, only some daffodils grow as perennials. In Minnesota, in zones 3b and 4, only the hardiest daffodils survive the long, cold winters and cool, moist soils in summer. Conversely, the long, hot summer in northern and central Florida, zone 9, can harm some daffodils since the heat causes foliage to prematurely wither or summertime rains can lead to bulb rot.
Special Characteristics
Daffodils contain toxins that prevent rodents and deer from eating the bulbs, flowers and foliage. Therefore, the plants tend to grow without any predators. As long as leaves make food after flowering ends and naturally wither away by late spring, daffodils tend to naturalize. Naturalizing means that the bulbs reproduce and that seed occasionally forms. This allows plants to multiply in number and physically spread across a landscape. For example, if you plant 10 daffodil bulbs on a sunny hillside, you should expect to see three to five times as many bulbs and springtime flowers within five years.

Have you ever heard the saying "a goal without a plan is just a wish"? This is certainly true when it comes to triathlon. If you want to be fitter, leaner or faster you can't expect it to just happen magically. The key to success is to follow a training plan and stick to it consistently over a period of weeks, months and years. If there is a magic pill, it is consistency.
There are many benefits to following a training plan but two of the biggest are that you'll feel more accountable and you'll experience a greater sense of progress. These two things help you commit to completing your workouts on the days when you don't feel like training.
A good training plan should also address your strengths and weaknesses, fit around your lifestyle and be tailored to achieving your goals. Ideally you also want a training plan that's flexible, so that you can still benefit from training with friends or a local groups. And it should include regular recovery periods too.
It may sound like a lot to get your head around, but the truth is that a plan doesn't have to be perfect. "A good plan implemented today is better than a perfect plan implemented tomorrow" as another saying goes. The most important point is that you have some sort of plan and you try your best to follow it. According to TrainingPeaks.com (an online training platform) athletes who follow a training plan are twice as likely to achieve their goals.
When you follow a training plan, it is inevitable that you won't always be able to do the prescribed workout on the right day. In this situation you need to apply common sense and swap your workouts around. That's perfectly normal and acceptable. Just be careful not to stack lots of tough workouts into the space of just a few days. Doing this might leave you liable to injury and over-tiredness. Sometimes you simply have to miss a session and move on. Don't beat yourself up, it happens to everyone from time to time. At least you'll feel fresher for the next one.
A good training plan should prescribe an intensity level for each workout. Some coaches will use descriptive terms such as easy, medium and hard. Whereas most will use training zones based around heart rate, pace, power and perceived exertion (this is what I do). It's important to understand the different training intensities before you start the plan, otherwise you run the risk of over- or under-training.
It's also worth knowing that your training zones for methods such as heart rate zones, percieved exertion, pace and power won't always marry up perfectly. And it's also common that running heart rates are higher than cycling ones - often by 5-10 beats.
So just treat the training zones as an approximate guide, rather than worrying about 1 watt here or there.. The most important thing is that you train consistently.
Don't feel you need to do all your workouts alone. If you enjoy doing club or group workouts, you can still incorporate these into your training plan. In fact, it's a good idea. Just make sure that your group workouts replace similar types of workouts from your training plan. For example, you might swap a solo run-intervals workout for a group track running session. Or a solo swim could be replaced by a tri-club coached swim workout.
Most pre-written training plans are designed to get you fit for one key race - for example, a sprint triathlon. If you decide to race in the middle of your training plan you'll have to use your own common sense again. Racing requires taper and recovery time, which can eat in your training time. So it's important to strike a good balance between training and racing. The longer the race, the more recovery time you'll need afterwards.
Before a race you should taper for a week by doing shorter sessions than you would normally, but at similar intensities to normal. Include at least one rest day. After completing an event take two days off completely. Then for the remainder of the week do short sessions at low intensities. Continue this regime until you feel relatively fresh. For Sprint-distance events allow 1-week, for Olympic distance events allow 2-weeks, for half Ironman's allow 3-weeks and for full Ironman events you will need at least 4-weeks to recover.
If you get ill, for example a cold virus, do not train at all until you feel 90% better. From this point, you should only train at an easy pace until you feel 100% again. There is no real benefit to training hard when you're ill. At best it might prolong your virus and at worst it can damage your heart. Viruses are part and parcel of life, you just have to accept them and move on.
If you get an injury, stop doing the discipline that exacerbates it. Immediately see a sports injury expert who has a good understanding of triathlon. They should be able to help you tweak your training plan and tell you when you can return to full training again.

Treatment Patterns and Health Care Costs in Commercially Insured Patients with Follicular Lymphoma
J Health Econ Outcomes Res. 2020 Sep 4;7(2):148-157. doi: 10.36469/jheor.2020.16784. eCollection 2020.
BACKGROUND: Few studies have estimated the real-world economic burden such as all-cause and follicular lymphoma (FL)-related costs and health care resource utilization (HCRU) in patients with FL.
OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated outcomes in patients who were newly initiated with FL indicated regimens by line of therapy with real-world data.
METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted among patients with FL from MarketScan® databases between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2013. Patients were selected if they were ≥18 years old when initiated on a FL indicated therapy, had at least 1 FL-related diagnosis, ≥1 FL commonly prescribed systemic anti-cancer therapy after diagnosis, and did not use any FL indicated regimen in the 24 months prior to the first agent. These patients were followed up at least 48 months and the outcomes, including the distribution of regimens by line of therapy, the treatment duration by line of therapy, all-cause and FL-related costs, and HCRU by line of therapy were evaluated.
RESULTS: This study identified 598 patients who initiated FL indicated treatment. The average follow-up time was approximately 5.7 years. Of these patients, 50.2% (n=300) were female, with a mean age of 60.7 years (SD=13.1 years) when initiating their treatment with FL indicated regimens. Overall, 598 (100%) patients received first-line therapy, 180 (43.6%) received second-line therapy, 51 received third-line therapy, 21 received fourth-line therapy, and 10 received fifth-line therapy. Duration of treatment by each line of therapy was 370 days, 392 days, 162 days, 148 days, and 88 days, respectively. The most common first-line regimens received by patients were rituximab (n=201, 33.6%), R-CHOP (combination of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride [hydroxydaunomycin]; n=143, 24.0%), BR (combination of bendamustine and rituximab; n=143, 24.0%), and R-CVP (combination of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone; n=71, 11.9%). The most common second-line treatment regimens were (N=180): rituximab (n=78, 43.3%) and BR (n=41, 22.8%). Annualized all-cause health care costs per patient ranged from US$97 141 (SD: US$144 730) for first-line to US$424 758 (SD: US$715 028) for fifth-line therapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The primary regimens used across treatment lines conform to those recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network clinical practice guidelines. The economic burden for patients with FL is high and grows with subsequent lines of therapy.

Author and public intellectual Tahar Ben Jelloun's 2009 novel Au Pays is a stunning, introspective work that delves into the questions that are essential to the immigrant experience. As a Moroccan-French immigrant, Ben Jelloun is able to examine these ideas through the lens of his persona experience, making his characters both honest and relatable. Mohammad, another Moroccan immigrant and the protagonist of Au Pays, identifies himself as a proud worker, a loving father, and a devout Muslim, but each of these identities is thrown into question as he tries to find his place in "Lafrance." As retirement looms ever-closer, Mohammad decides that he does not wish to be buried in the French ground, and thus returns to his native Morocco. However, going back to his homeland forces him to reexamine his memories and face uncomfortable conclusions about his culture and himself.
The use or omission of trigger warnings in the classroom setting is a controversial topic. Should trigger warnings be used before teaching uncomfortable topics such as religious beliefs, the impacts of violence, home-life or graphic descriptions? How does one deal with these topics in the classroom? While some research has been conducted in an attempt to find an answer to these questions, there have been no consistent answers or established policies for educators to turn to. The gap in this research has delayed the construction of potentially enlightening lesson plans as well as prohibited further real world learning for students. This project will focus specifically on the language classroom and the challenges and cultural implications that arise when dealing with uncomfortable topics. This research will fill the gap by conducting surveys with students and teachers and experimenting with different teaching styles and lessons that encourage creativity, participation, cultural awareness and critical thinking. This research project will serve as an opportunity to discover new ways in which to reestablish that the language classroom is an area of enlightenment for subject matters of all types as well as provide an outlet for educators so that they are encouraged not to fear tackling uncomfortable subjects in the classroom.
The seventeenth century is known as the "Grand Siècle" of France, a time period in which many great laws, movements, political figures, and works of art emerged. The "Grand Siècle" was dominated by the aura of the Sun King, Louis XIV (ruled 1643-1714), who, at Versailles, had put France at the center of the world. He had extensive connections, especially with the Eastern world. Chinese fashion even influenced the dress within the court of Versailles. Inside the courts such as Louis XIV's, and those modeled after his court, there were men who were responsible for maintaining the extravagance and glory of the courts. These men, called maîtres d'hôtel were essentially responsible for managing what went on behind the scenes of the court, whether it be coordinating decorations or cooking the meals for a party. François Vatel was a maître d'hôtel, employed by Nicholas Fouquet and the Prince de Condé, whose death remains, to this day, much of a mystery. In this paper, the death of François Vatel is discussed in the context of letters by Madame de Sévigné and the film Vatel directed by Roland Joffé. His death is also contrasted with the bright reputation of the courts in seventeenth-century France, and brings up the question of a hidden darkness within those very courts. Ultimately, this essay suggests that Vatel's death was a symbol of darkness in the seemingly sound court system of Louis XIV's France.
Music opens numerous doors of creativity and enlightenment when combined with our cognitive development skills. The question is how music can enhance the teaching of foreign languages and other subjects in the classrooms. This paper explores the importance of using music in ways that can be combined with traditional teaching methods. Music can be used as a tool to create more profound and impactful ways in students' learning. This paper will examine the existing scientific studies about how music impacts cognitive development. We will examine how the various regions of the brain are activated when a person is working on music, mathematics, and languages. Throughout this research, I intend to prove how music can have a positive impact in learning. Furthermore, the essay will take into account how music may benefit students with different learning styles within the classroom. Not only will I be consulting existing research on this topic but I will also take into account the results of a survey that I recently conducted. Also, my personal experience will inform me further on this matter. With each of these pieces of supporting evidence, I will determine the results connected to how music can enhance the teaching of foreign languages.
This presentation examines the conflict between the two Identities that each Japanese person possesses. These are the true identity, and the identity projected by a Japanese person in order to conform to society's expectations. This examination is conducted in the context of the novel The Broken Commandment by Shimazaki Tōeson. This project will analyze the main character, and other character's interactions with each other, their inner monologue, and the policies created by society. These examples will show the conflicts and resolutions in balancing the two identities, as well as connect this conflict/resolution to the larger narrative of Japanese identity dissonance, which continues even in modern Japanese society.

With meets under doubt, AFI working on internal competitions
AFI president Adille Sumariwalla reveals that the Chennai national, scheduled for September 20 to 25, is doubtful amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

With its scheduled September 12 start to the competition season looking doubtful, the Athletics Federation of India is working on other options to keep athletes in shape.
"It (September 12 start) looks difficult. But there will be some internal trials, some internal competition among the campers in Patiala and Bengaluru," said Adille Sumariwalla, the President of the AFI, in a chat with Sportstar.
"And if there are other javelin throwers, shot putters or discus throwers in that area, if they are allowed to travel, then they will be allowed if the Government allows them."

The AFI has scheduled its season-opening Indian Grand Prix in Patiala on September 12 and this will be followed by the National Open in Chennai (September 20-25) and the Federation Cup (Patiala, from October 6).
Chennai national doubtful
"The Chennai national looks doubtful, I don't think the state government is going to allow that. If trains are not going to start, how are people going to come?
"But definitely, we will have internal competitions in Patiala. And for walkers in Bengaluru because they are there."
Sumariwalla feels that even if this year's competitions are cancelled owing to the coronavirus pandemic, it will not be tough for Indian athletes to qualify for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
"Most of the people who had to qualify have already qualified. The rest have enough time to qualify (from March when the AFI plans to start its 2021 season till June 29)."
Focus on relays
He also felt that long jumper Sreeshankar, sprinter Dutee Chand and shot putter Tajinderpal Singh could compete in indoor meets and qualify. But he wants the quartermilers to focus on the relays.

"Hima Das will not qualify in the 400m but she has already qualified in the relay. It will be tough (for anybody) to qualify in the 400m but I would prefer that they focus on the relay at the Olympic level because now they have two relays (mixed and men or women). The pressure will be tremendous if they run they run the 400 too," he said.
"They may qualify (in 400m) but does that help the Indian team? If they are good, they may come to the semifinal, then what? Are they running 49s, no. Are they running 44s and below (in men's), no.
"So, they will run two rounds in the 400m and then spoil the relay."

Q: CryptKeeper's icon not showing in panel in Ubuntu 13.04 I installed "CryptKeeper" an hour ago, and I just cant get it's icon to be shown in the panel.
I've tried running this code in the Terminal:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"

but the output was "No such schema 'com.canonical.Unity.Panel' ".
After searching a little, I discovered that the Unity notification area (systray) whitelist is no longer available in Ubuntu 13.04.
I also tried using "dconf-tools" ,but it didn't help.
I've been searching quite a lot, and the only option ,that I encountered, to get the icon to be shown in the panel is to get the Unity systray whitelist back in Ubuntu 13.04. I am not sure that's a good idea since it's obsolete.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

How we use Lisp to be independent and resilient
A cautionary tale
I remember this very specific day… I went to work- at a company I used to work for- a large multi-national software development corporation. A regular day, except that when I fired up the compilation toolchain around 8 AM, I was displeased to see an unexpected error:
License for <proprietary product> expired.
The build chain was so monolithic that it was impossible to work around the product whose license had expired. In effect, no code could be compiled, thus leaving thousands of developers across the world stuck useless in front their screens. The whole company ground to a halt, until, some hours later, the license got renewed and redeployed across all the machines.
Back then, it really frustrated me. Today, thinking like a product manager, I'm left thinking of it as a weak business strategy.
A lot of risks surface when we examine this strategy:
What if it had taken a week to renew the license?
What if the license could not be renewed?
What if we could not find a replacement?
However, were we even able to secure a replacement, it would have required work and even further delay to plug it back into the toolchain.
All of this seems like a big waste of time and money: literally thousands of man hours lost.
Looking back, we got off easy.
Sometimes, core components may not be possible: should the essence of your product rely on a feature that exists nowhere else- you are out of luck.
More generally, the reliability of dependencies matters: should one of them have a non-fixable bug or missing feature, it can and often will halt all product development and maintenance.
Non-dependability is important for the business reasons highlighted above, and more generally, for the perennity of your product. If you want your software product to last, you need to be confident about its dependencies.
The risk of SaaS
In modern business, it's common practice to rely on third-party services that are not self-hosted (frequently referred to as SaaS products).
There are many issues with this approach:
As we saw earlier, it puts your business on a razor thin edge, subject to the mercy of the SaaS provider.
For users and customers, external services are things we cannot control nor guarantee. Their behavior is a black-box, of which we know nothing.
As an example, you may want to give your customers a privacy guarantee, but by utilizing a third party service, you cannot do so.
This is why it's important that your whole product with all its dependencies can be self-deployed (which means you must have the right to do so legally).
The right tools for independence
It turns out that there are certain measures one can take to increase their independence.
The first that comes to mind is utilizing free, open source dependencies:
No more licensing issues, ever.
When a feature is missing, it's possible to add it yourself.
When there is a bug, it can be fixed.
But even in a free, open source environment, there is no guarantee of no friction:
It may take ages to deploy a bug fix or feature.
Not all dependencies can be vendored, which means you'll have to rely on the versions available on other systems. Which means you cannot benefit from local updates and fixes you make yourself.
This is where programming languages show their differences. Most programming languages won't allow you to override the limitations of their dependent libraries. Common Lisp, however, can: nothing is hard-wired, everything can be reshaped, redesigned.
From http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/macros-standard-control-constructs.html about the extensibility of the language:
A Lisp programmer who notices a common pattern in their code can write a macro to give themselves a source-level abstraction of that pattern. A Java programmer who notices the same pattern has to convince Sun that this particular abstraction is worth adding to the language. Then Sun has to publish a JSR and convene an industry-wide "expert group" to hash everything out. That process–according to Sun–takes an average of 18 months. After that, the compiler writers all have to go upgrade their compilers to support the new feature. And even once the Java programmer's favorite compiler supports the new version of Java, they probably still can't use the new feature until they're allowed to break source compatibility with older versions of Java. So an annoyance that Common Lisp programmers can resolve for themselves within five minutes plagues Java programmers for years.
Tools matter1 2.
What do I gain from independence?
Independent, self-deployable products are resilient: should one go down, another one can be brought back up instantly. Self-deployable products give you you new decision parameters: decentralization, privacy, and security, to name a few.
In short, if you want to be in control of your business insist on full source licenses for all of your dependencies. Insist that should your dependencies have bugs or missing features, that you can fix or add them. Stay in control by choosing the right tools and libraries that form the pillars that support your software.
