How do i install windows xp without professional without getting errors?
I just built my own computer. Everything works fine, except when I try to install my copy of Windows XP Professional I get errors about corrupt files on the hard drive and it exists installation. I was wondering if there was a way to clear the hard drive, that does not have an operating system on it, or a way for me to just install Windows XP Professional without the corrupt error popping up to exit installation. Thank you.
This question was answered on September 19, 2003. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.
You would have to reboot your computer and install win xp from scratch The only way to clear the hard drive is to erase everything in it by manualy deleting all the files but only while you are rebooting win xp

When I watched the trailer for "Edge of Tomorrow" immediately I was hooked. I mean "Alien crossed with Groundhog Day"…sign me up! Let me tell you though, the trailer does no justice at all for the film. "Edge of Tomorrow" is in fact, my favorite film of the year so far. It is very underrated and deserves much more attention. "Transformers: Age of Extinction" is a decent movie and it made a billion dollars, so obviously quality doesn't win in terms of success. Tom Cruise is completely badass, as is Emily Blunt who was outstanding. The visual effects are the best I have seen all year and the film is not only NON-STOP (that's right all in caps) but also funny as all hell! This is a must see movie and I highly recommend it.
Official Premise: The epic action of Edge of Tomorrow unfolds in a near future in which an alien race has hit the Earth in an unrelenting assault, unbeatable by any military unit in the world. Major William Cage (Cruise) is an officer who has never seen a day of combat when he is unceremoniously dropped into what amounts to a suicide mission. Killed within minutes, Cage now finds himself inexplicably thrown into a time loop, forcing him to live out the same brutal combat over and over, fighting and dying again and again… and again. But with each battle, Cage is able to engage the adversaries with increasing skill, alongside Special Forces warrior Rita Vrataski (Blunt). As Cage and Rita take the fight to the aliens, each repeated encounter gets them one step closer to defeating the enemy.
Warner Bros is releasing this film under a new title to hopefully drum up some new business "Live. Die. Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow". They are bringing this together in a combo pack with a Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray + DVD + UltraViolet digital copy. The 3D is some of the best and most relevant that I have seen in theaters in a long time. It is well placed and adds tons of depth and even a few good scares in the film. On Blu-ray, it translates just as well. The 1080p transfers is simply outstanding. The film feels like a live-action video game in many scenes. The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 is also mind-blowning. I love the score to this film and it really is represented well with the crazy amount of action.
The special features are good but I would have loved to had an audio commentary track as well. "Storming the Beach" features director/producer Doug Liman taking us behind- the-scenes featurette for the film. Along with this feature is a three-minute alternate Adrenaline cut of one of the "Operation Downfall" sequences. "Weapons of the Future" features cast and crew talking about weapons. "Creatures Not of This World talks about creating the film's aliens and their story. "On the Edge with Doug Liman" is a fantastic nearly 45 minutes in-depth documentary on the production. Lastly there are seven deleted scenes included.

Ministers warn COVID-19 researchers anew of threat of foreign actors
OTTAWA — A trio of federal cabinet minister is warning COVID-19 researchers to take additional precautions to protect their efforts from thieves and vandals.
The statement today says the federal government is concerned about "hostile actors" targeting pandemic-related research in this country and urges government scientists, academics and private-sector workers to double- and triple-check their security measures.
Signed by Industry Minister Navdeep Bains, Health Minister Patty Hajdu and Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, the statement recommends strong cyber- and physical-security protocols.
It's not clear what prompted this new alert, months after Canada's intelligence agencies first warned of state-sponsored hackers targeting COVID-19 research.
In mid-July, Canadian, British and U.S. security services said they believed hackers working for Russia's intelligence agency were trying to steal vaccine research.
The statement today warns of threats to intellectual property and business interests as well as long-term economic competitiveness from espionage and foreign interference.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 14, 2020.

Our Work – Dancesequences Inc.
We believe that movement, dance and the arts are key ways human beings communicate and connect with one another. We also believe the arts can provide meaningful experiences of joy, awareness, cooperation, growth and learning. By providing opportunities for communities to share personal stories and experiences through the art of movement expression, we strive to create an open, nurturing environment that allows the interchange of dialogue to interpret, enhance and celebrate our common humanity through dance.
When are we visible for the wrong reasons? Why?
When do we have a visible, physical presence, but are invisible? Why?
This theme of "(in)Visibility" encompasses a wide range of topics around disability, abuse, homelessness, environment, migrants/refugees, ethnicity, aging and much more. As we dance together, we seek to strengthen communities by bringing people who have been invisible into community life; to give them opportunities and a forum to express their thoughts and feelings with movement; and to discover ways to reach out and connect with people across different communities.
Utilizing group dance improvisation techniques, we offer dance classes that are designed to celebrate the dancer in each of us and encourage a fully inclusive and participatory creative environment where each individual contributes his/her/their whole self to the group experience. Residency focus and duration will be determined by the collaborating organization's needs and schedules. Classes and workshops can be conducted on site at the organizations' locations….all we need is a room where we can dance and people interested in exploring movement.
The word "performance" is defined by the dictionary as a "musical, dramatic, or other entertainment presented before an audience." In this "performance" setting, artists are separated from viewers. Dancesequences seeks to redefine "performance" because we believe creativity belongs to all human beings; that the creation of art in itself is the primary focus and does not need to be validated or judged within the realm of a "performance." We offer, instead, "Sharings," where we explore possibilities to dissolve barriers between artists and audience. Sharings can be presented anywhere, not just in a proscenium theatre setting, thereby bringing dance back into everyday lives as a natural, human activity. If requested, company dancers will work with residency participants to craft pieces to share with the larger community. As an integral part of our residencies, we encourage "Q&A" forums at Sharings where dialogue between dancers, participants and the community can take place.

Introduction to Labor Compliance will provide you with the federal and state labor laws that pertain to caregivers in residential care homes, but with a twist!
6Beds will present this labor training with an intuitive and narrative approach by beginning with what matters most to many care home operators — how to comply with live-ins.

From there, we will cover the other areas of federal and state labor laws that regulate our caregivers. Click here to learn more.
This advance workshop will analyze a fictitious care home's staffing model for labor compliance violations as well as delivery of care and cost optimization.
This workshop will empower you to assess your own facility's state of labor compliance and help you develop optimized and compliant staffing models for your facility — helping you to save hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, the right way, over the long life of your care home(s).
Provide you with insights as to how you can implement these labor compliance and cost-savings solutions in your facility.
(Attendance for this funding session is limited to 6Beds members only at $990/person).
This first-ever training offered to RCFE and ARF care home operators will show you how to navigate and access different funding sources available to our industry, not known to many.
Learn the how-to's to participate in various multi-billion dollar government programs, including the Assisted Living Waiver (ALW) program that is looking to add 2,000 beds this year, due largely to a lobbying effort of a coalition that included 6Beds. Ordinarily, consultants charge between $900 – $1,200 to assist with ALW application. However, included in this funding seminar, one will be onsite to assist interested parties explore and begin the ALW application process.
This funding session is a 6Beds members-only benefit. The information to be presented is valued at over $10,000.
Seating is limited. Reserve yours now.

Smart Cities? We've Moved On. Now It's Liveable Cities and Smart Communities
56% of the world's population live in cities, including myself and most of the RMA team. We all, by and large, want the same things from these cities - decent jobs, affordable housing, safe, clean streets, power and drinkable water, interesting things to see and do, and transport that get us from A to B to C with as little drama as possible.

McKinsey outlines "nine structural levers for success" – but misses one essential pillar
Transforming telco businesses requires many steps, as McKinsey notes, but it must also include changing outdated and cumbersome procurement processes. Without extending supply chains and embracing smaller players and new entrants, telcos will be unable to benefit from new sources of innovation that can drive transformation.

Smart working – what operators need to do
The shift to remote working has created an opportunity for operators to differentiate their connectivity services. They cannot continue to think about "residential" and "business" customers. Instead, they need to think about how they can offer packages that support remote and distributed working, as well as the applications that people use.

Q: How to get a list of all Choice field options using Client Object Model How would you get a list of all the possible choices from a choice field (e.g. Task list Priority or Status fields) using javascript client object model?

A: On SharePoint 2013, we can use the REST API. An example would be with a GET request similar to this:
/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('task')/Fields?$filter=Title eq 'Fieldname'
The request returns the field metadata. For more detail, view this link:
http://www.ozkary.com/2015/10/sharepoint-choice-field-options-with-angularjs.html?m=1

A: You can get this from SP.FieldChoice.get_choices() (SPFieldChoice inherits SPFieldMultiChoice)
To get that object you need to use context.castTo to cast SP.Field to SP.FieldChoice.
// Setup context and load current web
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
context.load();

// Get task list
var taskList = web.get_lists().getByTitle("Tasks");

// Get Priority field (choice field)
var priorityField = context.castTo(taskList.get_fields().getByInternalNameOrTitle("Priority"),
                                   SP.FieldChoice);

// Load the field
context.load(priorityField);

// Call server
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onSuccessMethod),
                          Function.createDelegate(this, this.onFailureMethod));

function onSuccessMethod(sender, args) {
    // Get string arry of possible choices (but NOT fill-in choices)
    var choices = priorityField.get_choices();
    alert("Choices: (" + choices.length + ") - " + choices.join(", "));
}

function onFailureMethod(sender, args) {
    alert("oh oh!");
}


City of the lost, 5.
I am enjoying the story very much I only feel it wsnot needed to split the story into books,it could have been fine as one thicker book.
I have loved Kelley Armstrong for many years and even though these are a little out of my genre I am absolutely enjoying them! Love the characters and the story they are telling!
Can't wait to see where the series goes next. Anxious to read the next book. Easy read but lots of twist and turns.


Where Are the Ansar Today?
A sister once told me that she and her family had made hijrah to Egypt but that she couldn't have come without her microwave oven. Hmmm. That struck me as perhaps not being in quite the same spirit as the Muhajirun who emigrated from Makkah in 622 CE. But then again, maybe that's just because when I lived in Los Angeles, I was the only person there who didn't own a microwave.
The Muhajirun left behind not only their property but often their families, too. At that time there were very few households in which everyone was Muslim. Most families were split, with one spouse or one child Muslim and the rest of them pagan. Those who emigrated never knew if they would see their family members again. No photographs to remember them by, no weekly telephone calls or e-mails to those left behind. But the Muhajirun were willing to make the sacrifice.
Today there are still many who revert to Islam and find themselves cut off by their families. If they are still living at home at the time of their reversion, they may actually be kicked out. If they're not still living at home, their families may just cut their relations with them. (To be fair, there are also families who don't ostracize their Muslim member, even if they do think he or she has "gone off the deep end.") Yet people continue to revert, unable to deny the truth any longer. So, though they may not actually move to a new land, they are in some respects like the Muhajirun, that is, in need of help.
But where are the Ansar today?
Do we have shelters for new Muslims (or for those suffering from domestic violence)? Do we have social services for them? Networks to help them find jobs? Or even just services to help them learn their religion? Or what about services for immigrant Muslims who need to settle in a new land, learn a new language? Only in limited cases, I'm afraid.
We often hear about the great sacrifices that the Muhajirun made, but they couldn't have left Makkah without the Ansar, the Muslims of Madinah who helped them.
The Ansar did more than open their homes and help the Muhajirun financially. They knew full well that by pledging to protect Muhammad and his followers, they were challenging the whole of Arabia. We know that they realized that, because one of them stood up and warned the others just before they pledged.
Are there many of us today who are willing to help our fellow Muslims if there is any sort of risk involved? I'm afraid that where we are living comfortably, too many of us don't want to "get our hands dirty" or get involved.
Another great thing about the Ansar. Before they became Muslim, they were divided into two tribes, Aws and Khazrah. And I mean divided, frequently at war with each other. Yet when they accepted Islam, they were able to overcome those differences and unite under Muhammad's leadership. No more "my dad can beat your dad." These people were serious in their devotion to Islam.
Today we see too many of us divided over minor issues—even ones as petty as the style of each other's clothes or the length of veil or beard. Or we take an issue on which there is not unanimous consensus and let that be the basis by which we judge others. Rather than looking at the 90 percent on which we agree, we focus on the 10 percent on which we disagree. Thus we make no progress, always squabbling over petty details while our enemies continue to mow us down (literally or figuratively), drain our coffers, humiliate and debilitate us.
When my husband and I visited Madinah some years ago, I commented to our host that I was disappointed that the Prophet's house and original mosque had not been preserved as a museum. I would have liked to see the simple way he lived. (I can see it now—an Arab Williamstown with the reconstructed or preserved buildings, the main part of each room roped off, all the artifacts left "just the way the owner left it," employees in period costumes, $20 admission.) Our host replied that, first of all, the mud brick they used back then didn't last long, so there was no way to preserve it. And that that was not in the spirit of Islam, Islam was for progress.
Well, yes, we should be progressing materially, while not letting that become our be-all end-all. In fact, the Prophet's main concerns in Madinah were not for the economic revival or the pursuit of wealth, but simply that the Muslims might be safe and secure—able to walk the streets without being hassled or molested—and free to worship.
As the beginning of another Hijri year arrives, we need to take stock of where we stand as individuals and as an Ummah. In the West we are facing more restrictions on our freedom of religion, especially our right to dress in accordance with our religion. As a repercussion of 9/11, in some places we are still assaulted, harassed, or unjustly treated by civilians and police alike. In other parts of the world most of us suffer, some worse than others, under dictatorships by "Muslims" who torture, maim, and kill those who strive to enact Shari`ah again.
There are enough of us world wide who are suffering as the Muslims of Makkah did—sometimes worse—but the question remains, where can we go that's better? And where are the Ansar to help us?
Must Muslims Pray in Arabic?

Modern Day Pirate Tales
Notes on the world of piracy from journalist Daniel Sekulich
Prosecuting Pirates & Going After The Money Trail
A few weeks ago, I wondered what the United States would do in the wake of the apprehension of five suspected pirates by the crew of the frigate USS Nicholas, stating, "We must prosecute these criminals, wherever we can. If it takes bringing them thousands of miles from Somalia to face a judge, then so be it." I wrote that post worrying that suspected pirates would end up being sent home to Somalia, another manifestation of the 'catch and release' scenarios that have been too common in the past few years. Hopefully, this may not be the case.
It is being reported that the five men captured by the Americans may be sent to the U.S. to face criminal proceedings, probably in a federal court in Virginia (this is because the suspects attacked the USS Nicholas, which is homeported in Norfolk, Virginia). As for 16 other individuals currently being held by the US Navy aboard ships off the Horn of Africa, the CNN report says that 10 may be sent to Oman - because they had attacked an Omani-flagged vessel - while the remaining six may also end up in the U.S.
At the same time, other media reports say that Germany is preparing to prosecute 10 suspected pirates who had commandeered the German container ship MV Taipan, before being captured by Dutch marines. Those ten men have been flown to Europe by the Dutch and will be turned over to German authorities shortly.
Meanwhile, it also being reported that U.S. president Barack Obama has authorized the Treasury Department to go after the financial assets of individuals believed to be involved with piracy off Somalia (you can download the press release here). In the press release, the American president says that, "The deterioration of the security situation and the persistence of violence in Somalia, and acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia...constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat." It is also being reported that the Treasury Department has a list of names of individuals whose assets they would freeze.
Taken together, the decisions to prosecute suspected pirates and to go after the money they may have acquired from their operations constitute a positive shift towards applying the rule of law to organized criminal entities preying upon mariners in that part of the world.
And as the various means to deter piracy finally come together, it would appear the criminals involved are aware of the situation, and possibly getting desperate. We've already seen pirates striking every further out to sea, into remote parts of the Indian Ocean. AllAfrica.com is now reporting that Somali pirates are targeting vessels hired by Somali businessmen, driving up the the price of foodstuffs in that country. Since most shipments into Somalia happen only because 'security money' has been paid to some warlord, it would seem that rival gangs are attacking these vessels, breaking whatever tacit agreement has existed between the groups previously.

Daniel, how will they freeze assets of these individuals, especially since almost all of the transactions in which they engage are in cash? Are the pirate lords investing in international markets or hiding their money in Swiss bank accounts?

Players to Watch: Santa Ynez QB Luke Gildred
By: Casey Buscher
KSBY'S Player to Watch this week is Santa Ynez quarterback Luke Gildred.
The junior has led the Pirates to a 4-1 record heading into week 6 of the season. In five games played, Gildred has completed 64 of 126 passes with over 800 passing yards and 12 touchdowns.
In the Pirates win over Lompoc in week four, Gildred led the pirates to victory with over 300 passing yards and 5 touchdowns. He hopes to continue improving every day with hopes of leading this team to a league championship.
"I've been kinda brought up through the varsity program my freshman and sophomore year, communicating with the coaches on what they like. It prepped me well for this season... Before the end of the year, I definitely want to cut down on turnovers a lot and have a better completion percentage, and make better decisions every single week and limit my mistakes and mental mistakes," Gildred said.
As a first-year varsity starter, head coach Josh McClurg is impressed with the way Luke is leading the Pirates.
"I think Luke is getting has progressively gotten better every week. He's really been in the film room with the QB coach going over everything he needs to prepare and fix some things from the week before and I think he's taking it to heart, it shows."
"This team really wants to leave a big legacy. We've already started it with a win over Lompoc but we just want to finish through as one of the best teams Santa Ynez has ever seen," Gildred added.
Luke and the Pirates take on Cabrillo on the road this Friday in their first match-up on the season.


In addition to Darla's excellent response, I would add exposure is vastly important. Planting on South facing slopes to maximize UV gain is critical. Also, planting near bodies of water (rivers,lakes) that act as heat sinks and can moderate cooler night time temperatures will have a profound effect on ripening fruit in cooler climates.
Along those lines, Canopy management is important. Each cluster needs enough leaves to promote photosynthesis needed for ripening, but position and vigor should be thought about so as to not overly shade the grapes in cool climates.
Overall vine health is also important.Vines need optimal amount of light, heat, nutrients and water to grow and ripen, especially in cooler or more marginal areas. For example, excessive water can promote leaf growth rather than fruit ripeness.Conversely, inadequate water would delay ripening as it delays the vines'ability to go through biochemical pathways to reach ripeness. So, the managers would have to consider and manage all these variables as well.
Vine training method is also important in terms of achieving optimal ripeness as well as managing yield and disease pressure.

Tonkowiec wonny (Dipteryx odorata) – gatunek rośliny z rodziny bobowatych. Pochodzi z Ameryki Środkowej oraz północnej części Ameryki Południowej. Jego nasiona znane są jako fasola tonka (też: bób tonka, fasola tonkini, fasola tonkińska). Łupiny ich są czarne i pomarszczone, posiadają gładkie brązowe wnętrze. Mają silny, słodki zapach ze względu na wysoką zawartość kumaryny. Słowo tonka pochodzi z języka Galibi (Carib), używanym w Gujanie Francuskiej.

Morfologia
Drzewo osiągające do 25-30 metrów, z pniem o średnicy do jednego metra. Kora jest gładka i szara, natomiast drewno jest czerwone. Liście są pierzasto złożone, z listkami skórzastymi, błyszczącymi i ciemnozielonymi. Kwiaty są różowe. Każdy owoc zawiera jedno nasiono.

Biologia i ekologia
Kwiaty tego gatunku są zapylane przez owady. Kwitnienie trwa od marca do maja, a owoce dojrzewają od czerwca do lipca. Nietoperze żywią się miąższem owoców. Dla kilku gatunków grzybów tonkowiec wonny jest żywicielem: Anthostomella abdita, Diatrype ruficarnis, Macrophoma calvuligera i Myococopron cubense.

Datowanie radiowęglowe pni tonkowca wykazało, że drzewa osiągają wiek ponad tysiąc lat. Przed tym odkryciem nie przypuszczano by drzewo amazońskie mogło żyć tak długo ze względu na trudne warunki panujące w lasach tropikalnych.

Fitochemia i właściwości nasion
Nasiona tonkowca zawierają kumarynę w ilości od 1 do 3%, a rzadko nawet do 10%. Kumaryna odpowiada za przyjemny zapach nasion.

Uprawa
Tonkowiec wonny jest światłolubny. Rośnie na ubogich, dobrze osuszonych glebach. Jednak najlepszy wzrost osiąga na żyznych glebach bogatych w próchnicę. W rodzimym obszarze występowania najlepiej rośnie w warunkach średniej rocznej temperatury 25 °C i około 2000 mm opadów rocznie, z porą suchą od czerwca do listopada. Twarde, zewnętrzne części strąków usuwa się i nasiona są rozkładane na 2–3 dni do wyschnięcia. Głównymi producentami są: Wenezuela, Brazylia i Kolumbia. Najważniejszym krajem importującym są Stany Zjednoczone, gdzie nasiona są wykorzystywane przede wszystkim w przemyśle tytoniowym.

Wykorzystanie
Nasiona stosowane są w przemyśle perfumeryjnym, cukierniczym, tytoniowym oraz jako dodatek aromatyzujący do piwa. Tonkowiec zazwyczaj dodawany jest do piw ciemnych, jak Stout czy Russian Imperial Stout. Nadaje piwu charakterystyczny aromat. Jednak kumaryna spożywana w dużych dawkach może powodować krwotoki, uszkodzenie wątroby lub porażenie serca, dlatego jej stężenie w produktach spożywczych jest kontrolowane.

Fasolka tonka jest używana jako substytut wanilii w perfumach i tytoniu; została jednak zakazana w niektórych krajach. Wciąż jest używana m.in. we Francji (głównie w deserach i potrawkach) oraz w perfumach.

Stosowanie nasion tonkowca w przemyśle spożywczym jest regulowane / ograniczone w Stanach Zjednoczonych przez Food and Drug Administration. Wiele leków przeciwzakrzepowych na receptę, takich jak warfaryna, jest opartych na 4-hydroksykumarynie, chemicznej pochodnej kumaryny początkowo wyizolowanej z fasoli. Jednakże sama kumaryna nie ma właściwości przeciwzakrzepowych.

On Sunday morning, the Beeb broadcast extracts from the young people's service at the English Catholic Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool, which had taken place the previous day.
Liturgical Apartheid along age lines has always intrigued me. At Lancing we once had a head master who profoundly disliked our traditional Catholic Solemn Mass; in the end, as a compromise, it was agreed that the younger students would have a separate and more "age-appropriate" plain-said-Mass-with-hymns provided for them. This led to a most diverting rebellion; some of the students concerned, naturally, would have preferred not to be compelled at all to go to Chapel, but they all made it very clear that, if they had to attend, they insisted on going to a 'proper', adult, service. The 'experiment' was discontinued amid general rejoicing.
So I listened with curiosity to the first part of the Liverpool service!
It began with addresses by two Metropolitan Archbishops. The first of these Most Reverend and Palliate Fathers expressed his joy at being with the vigorous young people because "people in anoracs with grey hair" tended to be a bit tired. The second hierarch also managed a deft sneer at the older people "next door". (In Classical Latin Rhetoric, this sort of game is called a captatio benevolentiae.)
Beautifully old-fashioned, don't you feel? We shall know that our archbishops really have been swept up into Modern Thinking about Ageism when they also tell older people how much better it is to be with wiser and more experienced people than it is to waste time with the rash and facile impetuosity of Youth.
Or, far far better than both, when they have learned the difficult art of speaking to Catholics of all and every ages without any such clericalist condescension. Sneering at one age group is not, surely, the only way of ingratiating oneself with another group. Indeed, I find this sort of Age Discrimination distinctly unattractive.
They were followed by a voluble and enthusiastic (but pallium-free) Americanette. She started by trying to get a revivalist-style roar out of the gathering ... but failed! This was the point at which a "Whoopee" sensation passed through my mind, as I realised that our splendid Catholic young people were not going to allow themselves to be led by their unwilling noses into noisy vulgarity. This augurs well for the future of English Catholicism, and I am most certainly not being ironic or, I hope, condescending in saying so.
But the speaker didn't like their reticence, and she accused the gathering of ... ... lacking "spunk"!!! Yes, she actually used that indecent obscenity!!!
Two great nations, indeed, divided by a common language!
I was so glad I had listened in. One must keep in touch with the Mainstream.
Fr Ray Blake said...
It was so patronising.
If this what senior bishops believe young people want no wonder so many opt for the exits.
I hear that the bishops have thoughtfully provided a version of the Catechism for young people. It's called YouCat - youth catechism. The idea is that this highly trendy name will make Catholic doctrine attractive to the young.
Here's another idea. Why not replace dreary organs with electric guitars and synthesisers? I'm sure that once the young realise how 'cool' it is to be Catholic, they will flock to Mass in their droves.
Oh, what a difference a pond makes. On this side, "spunk" and its adjective "spunky" are mild and even affectionate terms. But I also fail to see their place in a liturgical celebration. Thank you for providing this penetrating insight to the Mainstream, which I normally avoid. I will now return to my Gregorian Rite cocoon.
Thorfinn said...
In our diocese the Youth requested - and received - a Traditional Latin Mass at their annual shindig. And I recently spoke to a faithful 40-something couple who, while anything but hostile, were confused and surprised that their teenage son has developed a liking for the TLM and has tried to spur them to share his interest. There truly is a generational divide among orthodox Catholics whose primary formation, in youth or adulthood, was pre- or post-election of BXVI.
Father, it might just be that the poor American lass doesn't know that that word has a quite different meaning here in Blighty than it does across the pond.
Et Expecto said...
My guess is that the gathering was of teenagers, but the Archbishops spoke to them as if they were six year olds. I doubt whether the young people were impressed!
Many years ago I was present at a 'dedication liturgy' kicking off a parish First Communion preparation program at which the children were solemnly presented with expensively produced workbooks. These had been designed using lettering that mimicked large, childlike handwriting, presumably to make the material suitably child friendly. As the children examined their books afterwards, I overheard one little candidate ask one of their friends: "Why's it written all funny like that?". To which the other child replied with studied disdain: "Oh, that's how they think we write!"
Ignatius, Cornwall said...
After half a century of the "yoof" voting with their feet to escape Modernist trendy Novus Ordo NuChurch "liturgies" with unpleasantly strummed gitters and folksy rubbish and agonisingly awful kiddie-quality songs, one would have thought that those in charge would have twigged that, colloquially, IT JUST DIDN'T WORK!! It seems to me obvious that our hierarchs are either (1) intent on destroying the Church OR, (2) that they actually believe they are evangelising but they're just plum dumb! Surely they can see the horrific results of fifty years of the downgrading of the liturgy, the ugly-fication of so many sanctuaries by "re-ordering", and terrible catechesis that has cost the loss of uncountable souls. Many churches and religious communities have closed. Conversions and vocations are few. AND Now it seems that we are to ignore the exhortations of Our Blessed Lord and Saint Paul and "accompany" (a trendy Francis/NuChurch buzz-word) those who continue to live in their sinful ways. Thus, heresy and sacrilege are now actually being encouraged, for heaven's sake!! Far too many Catholics will accept this evil because they've been softened up by decades of creeping Gradualism and left with a sort of pick-n-mix Catholicism -- which feels just like a form of Protestantism to me. ((Plus: The present scandel of those Cardinals, bishops, and other clergy, (many still in place), who protected those priests involved in perversions, abusive crimes, hypocrisy, and lies -- or acrually have been at it the filth themselves - and still said Mass!! Check-out Fr Zs recent blog postings. THE CHURCH NEEDS A CLEAR OUT -- from the top, down!!)) Truly, our hope is in the Yoof -- the coming generations -- and a return to a holy priesthood and a PRAYERFUL liturgy.
These two bishops spoke dismissively of older people-on what basis do they deem themselves exempt from their own classification, or are bishops becoming younger these days?
I would have thought that an auditorium full of young people spending time in adoration of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament on a Saturday evening was cause for rejoicing. But then I'm just a grey haired, tired catholic who spent his Saturday evening at the cinema watching Mamma Mia.I don't possess an anorak.

You may not be familiar with The Mary Tyler Moore Show on that side of the pond (or the American use of the word 'spunk'). It was immensely popular here in the 1970s.
Mary works for a TV station and her boss is Mr. Grant – played by Ed Asner - who is a curmudgeonly fellow not given to praise. In one scene he calls Mary into his office and surprisingly proceeds to compliment her on her work.
He ends with: "Mary, you've got spunk!"
Mary smiles broadly at the compliment - until Mr. Grant adds: "And I hate spunk!"
RichardT said...
"...one would have thought that those in charge would have twigged that, colloquially, IT JUST DIDN'T WORK"
Part of the problem is that if they changed direction now, that would mean admitting that their previous tactics were wrong, and that the decline of the Church in the West is, at least partly, their fault. Never underestimate how many stupid things people will keep doing to avoid admitting that they were wrong.

North Korea and its self-destructive streaks
Posted March. 12, 2019 07:50,
Updated March. 12, 2019 07:50
North Korea and its self-destructive streaks. March. 12, 2019 07:50. .
Recent analysis on the CSIS satellite photos found that North Korea's Dongchang-ri missile test site has been repaired back to normal, with activities indicating that the regime is making preparation either for a rocket launch or an engine test at the site. U.S. National Security advisor John Bolton said Washington is precisely monitoring North Korea's activities, without a blink of an eye. The South Korean government said it is closely watching all developments in the North such as the possibility of Pyongyang's preparation for missile launch, and the floor leader of Seoul's ruling party also called it "a matter of a grave concern."
It is unclear what the recent developments in the North are intended for, but it is likely that the communist country is expressing its complaints against the Trump administration since the failed U.S.-North summit in Hanoi. Seoul and Washington are worried that this might lead to actual provocations instead of falling short either as a temporary tantrum or a saber-rattling designed to boost bargaining power. In fact, U.S. President Donald Trump is expressing a great deal of disappointment towards the communist regime. Journalists in the U.S. are considering it noteworthy that the U.S. president is not dismissing Dongchang-ri's restoration as "fake news."
Resorting to military muscle-flexing or brinkmanship to escalate tensions to the extremes was a long-standing gambit of North Korea that it pulled whenever agreements went awry or its demands were not met. The intention behind it was to change the direction of policies towards North Korea by reminding its neighbors of the seriousness of North Korean nuclear program, and in fact, making such a fuss proved to work several times in the past. The recent developments in Dongchang-ri are a typically North Korean response to Washington's proposal for a "big deal" aimed at a complete dismantlement of North Korea's nuclear weapons and nuclear materials, as well as its biochemical arsenal.
Once the North makes moves at Dongchang-ri, be it a rocket launch or an engine test, it is highly probable that the regime will present an unreasonable case that it is working on a satellite for peaceful use rather than a military missile. Or it could be a long-term psychology war designed to announce the North's plan to launch a satellite and ratchet up the levels of threat gradually until the North Korean leader's birthday (April 15). In 2012, Pyongyang signed the February 29 agreement thereby suspending its nuclear and missiles tests in return for food aid, but it pressed ahead with a long-range rocket test, claiming, "peaceable satellites launch is a separate matter." However, the international community has never recognized validity of such claim.
There cannot be any nuclear or space technology for peaceful use in North Korea. The nuclear and rocket technologies applicable to nuclear power generation or space vehicles are only permitted to normal states that comply with international rules; therefore, they can never be reserved for such a rogue, criminal nation like North Korea, which feeds on provocations. Moreover, the Trump administration won't turn a blind eye to the vicious cycle of North Korean nukes where threats and provocations are compensated with negotiations only to be followed by more provocations. It is vital that the North puts an end to its self-destructive impulse, which might bring doom to all the progress they made in dialogue with Washington.

The iFi Audio xDSD is a high-resolution portable Bluetooth USB DAC designed to deliver sonic clarity from a variety of playback sources for audiophiles, audio engineers, and music lovers at home or on the go. Its built-in LiPo battery powers it for up to ten hours and is rechargeable via USB. Stream audio wirelessly via Bluetooth with AAC and aptX support, connect a smartphone or computer to the USB Type-A port, or route a S/PDIF signal into the 3.5mm input jack.
The xDSD supports resolutions up to 24-bit / 192 kHz via S/PDIF, up to 32-bit / 768 kHz PCM via USB, and up to 24.576 MHz DSD512 via USB. Selectable tone enhancements include the 3D+ Matrix, XBass+, and two digital filters. The 3.5mm TRRS/TRS output supports balanced and unbalanced headphones and is driven by the Cyberdrive headphone amp for low noise and robust output levels. The xDSD's compact enclosure is constructed from 6063-T5 aluminum-magnesium alloy for strength, durability, and low mass.
AAC- and aptX-enabled Bluetooth raises sound quality to CD-standard levels. The xDSD can store up to eight paired Bluetooth devices. Wired, the USB Type-A OTG/CCK connector offers premium audio performance for smartphones, laptops, and USB-enabled DAPs with resolutions up to 24.576 MHz DSD512 and 32-bit / 768 kHz PCM. The 3.5mm coaxial/TOSLINK combo S/PDIF input gives older DAPs and disk players a new lease of life as a transport to serve the xDSD with full-resolution audio up to 24-bit / 192 kHz.
From the Burr-Brown multibit DSD1793 DAC chipset to the femto precision GMT clock and intelligent memory buffer system derived from AMR Audio's flagship DAC products, the xDSD is packed with the technology it takes to deliver jitter-free, musically-pleasing sonic performance.
Ready for Tidal MQA out of the box, the xDSD also supports 11.289 MHz DSD and 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM. Alternative firmware is available for unlocking DSD512 sample rates and PCM audio up to 32-bit / 768 kHz.
iFi's S-Balanced technology delivers maximum performance from single-ended and balanced headphones alike. Compared to standard balanced circuitry, noise and distortion are lowered by up to 9 dB. Even with non-balanced headphones, crosstalk and related distortion are reduced by 50%. Compatibility for both balanced and unbalanced headphones is straightforward thanks to the 3.5mm TRRS/TRS jack.
The analog signal-based 3D+ Matrix circuit creates a holographic sound field akin to listening through speakers in a room. Designed to offset the subtle bass response in many open-back headphones, the XBass+ circuit restores deep, clean, and tight bass without muddying up the midrange. You can even switch between the transient-optimized, minimum-phase Listen filter and the frequency response–optimized Measure filter.
Whether at home or in the car, the Line Out mode means the volume control, 3D+ Matrix, and XBass+ are bypassed in order to configure the output stage for the best line-level operation. This effectively avoids double-amplification.
The Cyberdrive headphone amplifier stage is one of the pivotal circuit designs in the xDSD. It places all parameters of the fully analog system under digital control for a best-of-both-worlds scenario. The Cyberdrive design incorporates the iFi-exclusive OV4627 ultra-low noise FET input op-amp and W990VST digitally controlled stepped attenuator to deliver uncompromising sound quality.
Front- and rear-panel LEDs indicate battery status, audio format, input mode, volume level, and active processing functions.

Q: Reduzir tamanho de jar em Projeto Maven Estou gerando um jar a partir de um projeto Maven e o tamanho esta absurdamente alto.
Quais medidas posso tomar para reduzir o tamanho deste jar?

A: Verifique se alguma dependência adicionada no seu POM.XML pode ser removida.
Além disso, muitas vezes uma dependência depende de várias outras libs. Se vc tem certeza que alguma delas não está em uso vc pode removê-la usando
Ex:
<dependency>
  <groupId>br.com.teste</groupId>
    <artifactId>artefato-teste</artifactId>
    <version>2.0</version>
    <exclusions>
      <exclusion>
        <groupId>br.com.teste</groupId>
        <artifactId>sub-artefato-teste</artifactId>
      </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

A: Além de seguir o conselho dos colegas e rever dependências e dependências transitivas, existem ferramentas que podem te ajudar.
Uma primeira maneira de reduzir o tamanho do Jar é compactar utilizando Pac200. Você pode fazer isso com o Maven utilizando o plugin Maven Pack200 Plugin.
Outra maneira é utilizar um plugin como o Apache Maven Shade Plugin capaz de criar um Uber Jar minificado (i.e., que empacote apenas classes realmente utilizadas pela aplicação) ou ainda algo como o ProGuard que além de remover classes não utilizadas também diminui, "ofusca" e otimiza o código.
Todas essas ferramentas tem suas limitações. Por exemplo, parte dos servidores de aplicação não funcionam com jars compactados com pac200. Minificadores e otimizadores também podem ser perigosos, eles não conseguem detectar classes carregadas por reflexão e geralmente requerem um certo esforço de configuração manual (excluir classes do processo de minificação) quando utilizados com frameworks e bibliotecas mais complexas. Também não é incomum ter problemas ao utilizar um ofuscador com novas versões do Java (geralmente leva um tempo até o ProGuard ser atualizado).

A: Uma alternativa é criar o jar sem as dependências. O jar conterá somente as classes do projeto e ficará bastante reduzido. Nesse caso, você vai precisar colocar os jars que o projeto precisa em algum lugar e adicionar esses jars no classpath do projeto.
O seu pom.xml ficará mais ou menos assim:
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifest>
                <mainClass>testes.testes.App</mainClass>
            </manifest>
            <manifestEntries>
                <Class-Path>poi-ooxml-3.14.jar poi-3.14.jar</Class-Path>
            </manifestEntries>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>

Dessa forma, o jar será criado sem as dependências.
o trecho com o <Class-Path> será adicionado no arquivo MANIFEST.MF.

Innovation in Life Sciences Delivers New Breakthroughs
Data from a connected economy is funneling a wealth of monetization opportunities for business leaders across the life sciences industry
Data that reveals how consumers use a company's products, and the context in which such products are consumed, creates new business opportunities by monetizing what we call "consumption data." In many cases, consumption insight provides opportunities to offer advice for how product users can save money (auto insurance), lose weight (FitBit), prevent costly repairs (smart appliances) or get better gas mileage (connected cars).
The connected economy is similarly inspiring CIOs in life sciences organizations to monetize data and to use its resultant insight to run their organizations more competitively. When asked to prioritize technology investments, business intelligence and analytics ranked first in a survey of CIOs across the life sciences sector (See Figure 1).¹

Innovation in medication adherence addresses a $300 billion problem
Pharma marketers often deploy branded solutions for medication adherence. However, an agnostic, cross-brand platform, driven by consumers, offers pharmas an alternate solution versus one that might appear biased. Alternatively, pharmaceutical organizations such as Merck KGaA, Takeda and Gilead use a cross-brand platform (called Medisafe) with a registered base of four million patient and caregiver users, who have collectively recorded over two billion successful medication doses on their iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.²
The platform's consumption analytics, which are regularly shared with pharmaceuticals, detail the story behind the 200 reasons patients don't follow their prescribed drug treatment plans (a $300 billion problem in the US alone where 50 percent of cardiovascular disease patients don't adhere to their prescribed medications).³
Source: NIH study of 10,000 patients
An AI-enabled interface delivers a tailored contextual experience to each user, with content, resources, videos, coupons and motivational messages—based on the patient's regimen, condition and specific circumstance. Many patients opt for coaching through their Apple Watch. A Bluetooth-connected pill bottle (via the cap) is also offered to simplify the reminder process. Pharmaceutical firms also use the platform to deliver co-pay information and education in disease management and drugs. (See Figure 2.) Tools for instantly surveying patients are also available.
Noble, a provider of prefilled syringes and respiratory devices, uses a similar platform called HealthPrize to reward patients with positive educational experiences and videos for verifying prescriptions and reporting compliance. Patients received added incentives and rewards for reaching key milestones that measure health improvements.
Healthprize founder, Katrina Firlik, (a former Yale Medical School professor and neurosurgeon) says "every constituent benefits when adherence increases: hospitals, doctors, health plans, employees, pharmacies, pharmacy benefit managers and pharmaceutical companies." HealthPrize's architecture, which supports web and mobile platforms, is designed around financial incentives, education and reminders, using principles of behavioral economics, gaming and consumer marketing.
"Though outcomes vary depending on the illness, life sciences and healthcare givers agree that even the smallest improvement in medication adherence would save billions of dollars."
Advanced analytics find key stakeholders and opinion leaders
Advanced analytics, natural-language processing and algorithms are being used more and more to examine healthcare professional (HCP) data, map entire disease populations and to find important stakeholders, such as key opinion leaders (KOLs). Top pharmaceutical companies, for example, are using analytics to help them find points of leverage within customer communities.
With disease mapping and KOL identification solutions from providers (such as Voxx Analytics, Veeva, IQVIA and SteepRock), leading pharma organizations use social network analysis (SNA) mathematical models to garner insight into relationships surrounding HCPs and to graphically illustrate important network influences. Once a specific effort is scoped, technology is used to harvest and cleanse relevant information from publications, social media and other affiliations. HCPs can then be linked and analyzed (based on the strength of their connections) using graphical tools. SNA analysis uses algorithms to source top influencers and key collaborators in the disease community, letting medical affairs teams assess actual reach and potential KOL impact (See Figure 3).
Several providers offer KOL data and identification services to help medical affairs teams quickly find the right Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs).
Providers such as Austere Analytics have a Rising Star service to help pharmas be the first to establish relationships with those that show high probability of being future KOLs.
A rising star is evaluated by its network position. If a physician is connected to several influencers through the course of medical school, residencyand a fellowship, for example, her position within a network is much more likely to make her a rising star than simply reviewing her publications might lead you to believe. Voxx describes the rising star paradox as a moment when a client looks at a rising star list and either says "I don't know any of these people" or "I know all of these people." The best rising star shortlist is somewhere in between those two.
Smart health records accelerate clinical trial recruitment
It can take years, even decades, to get new life sciences products to market. As much as 80 percent of the problem can be attributed to the challenges of recruiting qualified patients for clinical trials. The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation was able to find the right patients significantly faster than traditional centers by using a mobile app and real-world data from electronic health record (EHR) systems.
The foundation built a smart health record for each prospective participant which notified patients for trial participation if its algorithms detected a >90% match with its acceptance criteria. High rates of success were also insured by drawing on patient-powered research networks (PPRNs), which contain patients and/or caregivers motivated to play a role in ongoing research for a specific disease state or medical condition.
The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation enrolled 10 patients in three weeks for a type of study that typically recruits five patients in a year.
The process helped enroll 10 patients in three weeks for an idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis study (versus the more typical rate of five patients in a year). The foundation took a patient-centric approach, making a concerted effort to make the needs of participants the priority, including the removal of typical obstacles to trial participation and adherence. For example, mobile devices, sensors and wearable technology allowed the trial subjects to perform trial activities from home.
Improving adherence in clinical trials.
AbbVie, Roche and Takeda have deployed similar technology to support central nervous systems (CNS) studies with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform for mobile devices (research shows 20 to 30 percent of failed clinical trials point to non-adherence; see Figure 5). The software-based solution draws upon the participant's phone camera to automatically confirm medication ingestion (no manual video review is required). The technology (from AiCure) visually identifies the drug and the participant based on facial recognition and the act of ingestion. No other requisite hardware is required. The solution doesn't require any change to the manufacturing process of the medication or its packaging. By using the technology in an outpatient environment, sponsors and investigators increase adherence and improve statistical power in multisite clinical trials.
Laboratories of the future free up investigator time
According to the United Nations Population Division,4 food production needs to increase by at least 70 percent over the next 40 years to keep up with the world's forecasting population growth. Although our natural resources are limited, the potential for advances in agricultural production are not limited according to executives at Dow AgroSciences, a subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company, which develops solutions in order to innovate farming. To address the challenge, Dow executives are investing in laboratories of the future (LotF).
More time for experimental design
Today, it takes a considerable amount of time to reprogram laboratory automation to run new protocols. Hence, instrument utilization rates often fall under 15 percent resulting in significant delays between hypothesis and confirmation testing. Scientists at several leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms scientists address the problem with a solution from Synthace (called Antha), which translates protocols across various hardware vendors to rapidly reconfigure instruments. This frees up investigator time to focus on experimental design versus robotic programming (also making more time for rapid testing and reporting).
Machine learning plays a key role in lab automation
Antha's operating system, based on an open-source-based language, lets investigators visually design, execute and analyze biological workflows without the need for code. Added flexibility enables more degrees of freedom when creating complex multifactorial design of experiments (DOEs) workflows. Built on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, the system leverages active learning and knowledge graphs to continually update and design experimental systems. User clients improve their models by opting into data share elements to let the solution conduct machine learning over cross-industry protocols and methodologies. Synthace's strategy responds to the industry's ballooning biologics and cell therapy pipelines, providing a solution at the intersection of laboratory software, bioengineering, cloud-based labs, research informatics and advanced computing (see Figure 6).
Scientists use a drag and drop visual workflow editor to configure experiments, which can be replicated by others by drawing upon digitally represented, cloud-stored methods.
Conclusions and recommendations
Generating valuable insight from data inside and outside the organization to create new business value and to optimize processes, is a strategic goal of life sciences organizations across the industry. According to Gartner's 2018 CIO survey, business and technology leaders in life sciences organizations would like to move beyond rearview analysis into more forward-looking intelligence with advanced capabilities provided by predictive and prescriptive analytics.
When it comes to supply chain, patient engagement, clinical trial patient recruitment and biologic research, we believe investments in advanced analytics offer life sciences organizations the opportunity to compete and operate more effectively, for example:
Improve medication adherence
Consider brand-neutral platforms to optimize patient engagement or to increase medication adherence using smartphone apps and Bluetooth-enabled pill bottles. While these inventions are simple in concept, they deliver much-needed innovation to a problem that burdens the healthcare system with billions of dollars in unnecessary costs. Platforms such as Medisafe, have gathered more than 2.5 billion data points that pharma companies can use to gain insight into product and market usage trends.
Find the right opinion leaders
Business leaders in life sciences organizations are starting to do a better job at identifying and segmenting potential key opinion leaders (KOLs) by leveraging big data, advanced analytics and algorithms. By using more advanced techniques, business leaders ultimately engage with the right people to maximize the strength of their organization's reputation. Graphical tools make it easier to visualize the strength and quality of relevant connections across the community of HCPs.
Recruit qualified patients for clinical studies
Clinical leaders can improve patient recruitment and adherence, especially in rare disease studies, with modern, innovative techniques for running clinical trials that lead with patient needs. Patient-centric strategies should do everything possible to remove obstacles to trial participation and adherence. Clinical leaders might also consider virtual trials that draw on mobile devices, sensors and wearable technology to make it easy for subjects to participate from home.
Consider lab automation
The market for laboratory automation is more mature than autonomous vehicles or manufacturing/supply chain robotics. New ways to power laboratory instruments, especially in increasingly regulated labs, offer numerous benefits for R&D managers and laboratory IT directors with responsibilities for LotF, laboratory modernization and biologics. Hence, business and technology leaders in life sciences should start to evaluate innovative laboratory automation solutions.
