Looking back, I'm not sure if it was the pancakes we loved or if it really was the time we spent together. After all, we found out later that she just used the recipe on the back of the Bisquick box. I didn't even know what maple syrup was until I was much older because all we had at home was Karo syrup.
As much as I loved the simplicity of my mom's pancakes, now that I'm all grown up, I prefer something a little fancier, like these ones flavored with orange zest and ricotta cheese from chef Bobby Flay. They involve a little extra effort, but are definitely worth it. These pancakes are light and fluffy, due to stiff egg whites being folded gently into the batter. Yet, at the same time, they are rich and filling, due to the addition of ricotta cheese.
I wanted something seasonal, yet different, to top my pancakes, so I knew exactly what to do when I saw the season's first kumquats at the farmers market. These little sweet and sour beauties, the size and shape of a large olive, belong to the genus Fortunella, which is a relative of the citrus. Some varieties have actually been hybridized with many types of citrus. However, unlike citrus fruits, kumquats have edible smooth and shiny rinds. They are eaten whole, peel and all, minus the tiny seeds. Their mild, sweet rinds are the perfect contrast to their pungent, tart pulps. They make great jams and marmalades, especially when combined with other fruits like oranges and cranberries.
To make the compote, I "candied" the kumquats by cooking them in sugar, water, vanilla paste and orange liqueur until they were soft and the resulting syrup had thickened slightly. To cut the sweetness, I added a little candied ginger, which also gave it a little zing.
Whisk together the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
In another bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, milk, egg yolks, vanilla, and orange zest and whisk until smooth.
Using a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff.
Add the dry ingredients to the ricotta/egg yolk mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Whisk in a small amount of the egg whites to lighten the batter, then fold in the remaining whites.
Heat a cast-iron griddle or large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Brush with butter or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle in about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan and cook the pancakes for 3 or 4 minutes. Flip, and cook the other side until golden brown. Stack desired number of pancakes and serve topped with the Kumquat and Candied Ginger Compote (recipe follows). Dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle chopped candied ginger.
For the compote: Combine the sugar, water, candied ginger, orange liqueur, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Add the kumquats and orange segments and cook, stirring frequently, until the fruit softens and the syrup thickens, about 5 minutes.
Reblogged this on Chef Simondsjr.
These pancakes look absolutely amazing!
Reblogged this on Asianrockstar's Blog.
Kumquats are fantabulous and even more so with ginger — you've composed a superstar recipe!
Thanks, Valerie! Kumquats are my new obssession.
I knew that these were yours immediately – such a distinctive style of photography! Looks amazing, Daisy!
Thanks, Frugal! Never really thought about my photographic style, but I'm always trying to improve my skills.
Gorgeous, Daisy! Wonderful combination of flavors! I absolutely love kumquats (I've pickled some that I'm blogging soon!). The ricotta in the pancakes sounds utterly divine.
I can't wait to see how you've used kumquats. You're always so imaginative with ingredients.
I absolutely love pancakes, sweet or savory and love using fresh ricotta mixed in. I've often had ricotta pancakes with lemon, but I must give this orange version a try! The stiff whites in the recipe is key (I made a version on the blog, kept it overnight as a test, not as pretty but certainly tasty). The kumquat and ginger sounds wonderful together. So glad I stumbled onto these. Delicious!
Thanks for visiting and for your nice comment, Orly. I love lemons in everything, so I'll be making these with lemons next.


Some skintight looks from Babes and Felines.
Her ultraclingy basics are shot on models with all manner of body "imperfections" — back rolls, stretch marks, cellulite, you name it.
Even kurve kween Kim Kardashian is a fan: During her first pregnancy with North West, she shimmied into the brand's clingy styles (similar to this $40 tube dress).


Today is the 4th of July, which is a holiday with historical significance in the US. Twenty years ago, Jeff Goldblum and the Fresh Prince defeated an alien invasion using a PowerBook and a hastily written computer virus. It's such a big holiday, they've just released a mediocre and forgettable film about it.
This scene has spawned many a flamewar. Anyone with a vague idea of how computers work may note that hardware architectures are complicated, and even with access to alien hardware and software, designing a virus capable of disabling all of the alien spacecraft in one fell swoop strains credulity. Some people point to a deleted scene which explains that computers are based on alien technology captured in Roswell, and thus, our computers are already compatible. Others mutter something about, "It's just a movie, what the hell is wrong with you?" while rolling their eyes.
Here at TDWTF, we know that no competently run IT organization is going to let its entire shielding system across an entire battlefleet be vulnerable to a single virus delivered to a single node on the network. We know the real story must be quite the WTF.
Lisa graduated from the Aldebaran Institute of Technology in 1996, expecting the "rising tide" of the late 90s tech boom to carry her to wealth and riches. She went to a college job fair shortly before graduating, handed out some resumes, and tried to resist senioritis long enough to make it to the end of the semester.
Lisa was young, inexperienced, and the recruiter was very good at his job. She went in for an interview, chatted with Al (the head of IT), met a few of the other techs, and even got to meet one of the fighter pilots, who cut quite the dashing figure. Star struck and seduced by the promises of fantastic wealth (once they handle that minor, piddling problem of conquering the Earth and blowing up a few easily recognizable landmarks), Lisa signed on and boarded the mothership just a few days after graduation.
On her first day, Lisa was invited into Al's office for some orientation. The office was little more than a closet, just off the main hangar bay. It was made even more cramped by Al's insistence on covering the walls with the various certifications he'd earned in his career- A+, Net+, and in the fanciest frame, MCSE.
A few days into the voyage to Earth, one of their users wasn't happy- the Hangar Operations Officer was having issues with spacemail. Lisa went to his workstation to try and help.
"They're quarantined as a virus," Lisa said.
Cringing, Lisa watched the hangar operations officer open the virus. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, it did open a window with a picture in it- a lewd picture of a Muton's posterior- and flashed a message that "you have been pranked!". For a finale, it inverted the mouse pointer.
"I told you," Lisa said, "that probably wasn't from your mate. You're just lucky it was a piece of joke software and not a dangerous virus." A quick reboot set the mouse back to normal, and Lisa made sure the dangerous email was deleted before she handed the mouse back to the Ops Officer. "Please don't open strange attachments in the future," she warned.
The next few weeks were mostly routine support, until that dashing pilot- Lieutenant Bradford- submitted a ticket about his fighter craft. It was stuck in a reboot loop- the main computer would turn on, print out an error message, and then reboot. Obviously, this needed to be fixed before the invasion started. Lisa fired up Gopher to try and find out what was going on.
As it turned out, this was a bug in the v8.0.2 firmware running on the entire fleet of fighters. When the system clock's battery started running low and the clock started to drift, the firmware had a bug that would trap it in this reboot cycle. This particular bug had been fixed in v8.0.5, which was released six years prior. The manufacturer had actually cut support for the entire v8.x.x series and was up to v11.x.x.
A slow network was difficult to diagnose, but an inability to access a shared folder was easier to explain: the mothership's firewall blocked that port. Unfortunately, the firewall software wasn't one she'd ever seen before, and the configuration Al had built for it was pretty much an incomprehensible mess of exceptions and whitelists and blacklists and more exceptions. Lisa needed to get Al to fix it.
"Oh, a slow network, eh," Al said.
Things got really busy during the invasion. There was a lot of coordination that needed to happen. Several squadrons of fighters- including Lt. Bradford's- got transfered to the Assault Ships. Lisa barely had time to notice. As it turned out, no one had run a test on the landmark-destroying superlasers since the last invasion, and Al- in a fit of cost-saving- had installed 15 amp breakers in the power supply, which were entirely insufficient to the task. Lisa had to walk the Assault Ship techs through the process of identifying which circuit had the necessary 40 amp breaker on it, and then how to find the superlaser's power cable to connect it to the right circuit. That's if there was a 40 amp breaker available- Lisa had to coordinate an on-site electrician for Assault Ship ZX–80 (which hovered over the White House), and it was a near thing to get the circuit re-wired in time to fire as part of the coordinated attack.
After a few days of eighteen hour shifts, Lisa finally got a bit of a break. All the easily recognizable landmarks had been blown up, and the Supreme Commander was confident that the humans would surrender any second. And that's when she noticed a new fighter joining the network. This one was running an ancient version of the firmware- v4.1.2, which was supposed to be removed from service fifty years ago.
For the next few days, we'll be running some classic WTFs as we have a small summer break. We'll be back on Friday with a fresh Error'd.

Metropolis: Ensemble Offspring, Light is Calling
May 19, 2015 ReviewsChris Perren, Damien Ricketson, Ensemble Offspring, Michael Gordon, Nico Muhly, Steve Reichmatthewlorenzon
Ensemble Offspring, photo courtesy of the artists.
Sydney-based new music group Ensemble Offspring continue the Metropolis festival with a colourful series of works for live ensemble and video. Their programme Light is Calling began with a great example of a minimalist work that uses less to achieve more. Light is Calling for solo violin, electronics, and video is an attempt to "make something beautiful" after the ugliness of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Composer Michael Gordon provides a slow-moving violin part, devastatingly interpreted by Ensemble Offspring's Veronique Serret. Reverberant and reversed samples form a finely-textured bed of electronic sound. Film maker Bill Morrison, who also contributed to Julia Wolfe's Fuel in the MSO's second Metropolis program, brings the piece to new emotional heights. Morrison's film consists of a reprint of footage from the black and white 1926 movie The Bells. Morrison melts film footage of figures, faces and horses to produce hauntingly distorted images. As the film turns to yellow, brown, and black, the images smear and stretch across the screen. The echoing electronic part, lamenting violin and immolating film all seem mourn a long-lost innocence.
Nico Muhly's It Goes Without Saying combines live clarinet (Jason Noble) with prerecorded metallic sounds including a kitchen whisk, bells and harmonium. The delicate sound world also includes pre-recorded clarinets that duet playfully with the live performer. The piece is accompanied by a video of stop-motion hair clippings on a white background. The hair slowly coalesces into a face, setting in motion a series of vivid animations including soap suds and metallic shards. Noble transfixed the audience with the hypnotic clarinet part. This was especially strong during the opening abstraction of drifting hair follicles.
Ensemble Offspring's Metropolis programme included the world première of audiovisual artist Chris Perren's Dive Process. In Dive Process, Perren builds on his recent experiments with musical and video phasing. Dive Process uses a retro video of a girl diving into water. The video is reversed and replayed at her point of entry into the pool, creating a rhythmic explosion and contraction of bubbles. Three versions of this film are then played side by side at different rates in a mesmerising phasing pattern. Perren's score for percussion, clarinet, and violin mirrors the visual phasing pattern. Perren builds the intensity of this pattern during segments where dozens of copies of the video are spaced around a sphere. Continuing the theme of rhythmic counterpoint, the ensemble then played Steve Reich's Vermont Counterpoint, a sister-piece to Reich's Six Pianos, which Zubin Kanga performed in an arrangement by Vincent Corver earlier in the festival.
Ensemble Offspring reserved the second half of the concert for Damien Ricketson's magnificent Fractured Again Suite. For this large-scale chamber ensemble work, Ricketson draws inspiration from the physical properties and sound of glass. In particular, Ricketson singles out the glass harmonium, a relatively popular instrument in the eighteenth century that has since fallen into obscurity. The closest thing one can hear to its ethereal tone nowadays is a dextrous performance on a row of tuned wineglasses. Ricketson builds the Fractured Again Suite out of fragments of compositions for the glass harmonium by Mozart, Donizetti and others. These fragments are then reflected, distorted and splintered like glass to form the arresting and sparkling surface of the suite. The rapid opening resembles an off-kilter clockwork automaton racing towards self-destruction. The glass-inspired video accompanying the work includes a brilliant array of coloured lights projected upon tubes, panes, and rods of glass. Some of these lights are reflected in repetitive, rhythmic ways, while at others they resemble the more timbral reflections of the piece's later movements.

Nonsemble, Practical Mechanics
June 28, 2013 ReviewsChris Perren, Nonsemblematthewlorenzon
Nonsemble
Practical Mechanics (album review)
Practical Mechanics was a British hobbyist magazine that ran from 1933 to 1963, providing instructions on how to build anything from a bathtub to an airplane alongside articles on the emerging technologies of the space age. Composer Chris Perren has marvellously painted the magazine's techno-utopianism in a five-movement composition for his Nonsemble, drawing on the machinic rhythms and open harmonies of post-rock and minimalism.
Thanks to a beautifully-typeset score, the album can be performed by anyone with ready access to junk percussion, a sampler, a piano and a string quartet. Perren ingeniously overcomes the notational clutter of long, syncopated "simile" passages by giving each instrument's cell, number of repetitions and cues in relation to the other instruments. The score is also a great pleasure to read alongside the album, with the notation realising the love of mysterious technical geometry proper to the period.
Practical Mechanics by Chris Perren
The first movement The Great Awakening opens with a piano thumping underneath a vintage vocal sample. The piano sounds like the mechanical heartbeat of the watch listed in the sample alongside the elevator, airplane and other modern inventions. Swelling strings punctuate the anxious piano before launching into multi-geared polyrhythms that reach their climax in a magnificent breakdown of harmonic and metrical modulations. This thrilling opening to an album suffused with cold-war nostalgia benefits from comparison with Kinetic Work, the opening of the Montreal viola and percussion grindcore duo Hanged Up's album Kicker in Tow. While Perren's polyrhythms provide a greater sense of tumbling, racing freefall than Hanged Up's energetic changes, Hanged Up use rusty, grimy production values to cast a more cynical pallor over the era's myth of progress. Like the chrome space-phalli adorning the covers of Practical Mechanics, Nonsemble's album is impossibly shiny and almost saccharine in its major-mode tonality. It is itself a testament to the spread of affordable technology.
With all my love of technology (more! Better! Faster!) I cannot help thinking that the period in question—with its proliferation of nuclear armaments—and the myth of technological progress in general deserves a healthy dose of morose musical criticism, if only for the gothic-horror kicks. But this would be selfishly steering Perren and Nonsemble towards an entirely different set of musical reference-points, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Lutoslawski rather than Mogwai and Glass.

TRADE, INVESTMENT TO DOMINATE DISCUSSIONS DURING PRESIDENT ZUMA'S STATE VISIT
May 10, 2017 - WebDesk - Comment is Closed
DAR-ES-SALAAM, Opportunities for enhanced bilateral trade and investment as well as issues related to regional and international co-operation will feature high on the agenda during the visit by South African President Jacob Zuma, who is expected to arrive in Tanzania Wednesday for a three-day state visit on the invitation of President John Magufuli.
Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Co-operation Dr Augustine Mahiga told a media conference here that the South African leader's delegation would include six Cabinet ministers and 80 business persons.
The visit by President Zuma follows a meeting with Dr Magufuli during the 28th African Union (AU) Heads of State meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. President Zuma will arrive in Tanzania on Wednesday evening and he would be received by his host, President Magufuli, Dr Mahiga said.
During the visit, the two leaders will witness the signing of three agreements on co-operation in environment, energy and transport. The two countries are presently also negotiating other areas for co-operation such as health, education, infrastructure, trade, investment, tourism and irrigation farming.
On Thursday, President Zuma and his host will hold private talks and thereafter take part in an expanded meeting to include delegates from the two countries. After the meetings, the two leaders will witness the inking of the three agreements on environment, energy and transport, Dr Mahiga said.
Discussions are also underway on co-operation in other areas, including the education sector where we plan to have exchange programmes for teachers to share experiences in addition to cooperation in media.
Dr Mahiga revealed further that the two countries have so far inked 15 agreements on co-operation covering education, science and technology, culture and agriculture.
During the visit, President Zuma will also attend a luncheon to be hosted by the business communities from South Africa and Tanzania and thereafter attend a business forum to bring together businesspersons from the two countries, he said.
Trade between Tanzania and South Africa has been rising over the past years from 900 million US dollars in 2007 to 2.4 billion USD last year. South Africa is an important partner in investment, it is the second country with huge investments in Tanzania, after Kenya, Dr Mahiga remarked.
Investors from South Africa have invested in about 225 projects with a value of 803.15 million USD in various sectors of the economy, employing 20,916 people. Tanzania exports fresh-cut flowers, coffee, live animals, garments, jewelries, tobacco and edible oil to South Africa.

How can Digitalization be a success factor not only for the big players?
This is what our team is trying to figure out. A cooperation of science and practice guided by the University of Wuerzburg and renowned fashion companies. Click here for a list of all partners.
The marriage of the digital world and the physical one are creating new sources of value. Omni-channel or fast fashion strategies as key success factors that can transform a fashion company's business.
Online seller Zalando proved as a game changer. Not only the market shifted but how things are done in fashion retail. Online platforms for example are non-negotiable anymore.
Zara hit on a formula for supply chain success that works – fast fashion. It keeps the time-to-market cycle as short as possible. The Spanish retailer can design, produce and distribute a garment to market in just fifteen days.
A fashion company's success is not only depending anymore on its designers or where it produces the clothing but on IT.
Prior to an engagement with an omni-channel strategy, a large part of success was contributed to sales from brick-and-mortar stores. As a matter of fact, many companies maintain an e-commerce channel but still lack an integrated omni-channel strategy. This is the root cause for varied customer experience across channels, disjointed back-end operations and pricing inconsistencies.
Given all the above Digital Retail Lab is confronted with the facts and as its goal wants to develop possible innovative IT-solutions, in the ecommerce and IoT area. Also it wants to further develop omni-channel integration and strategies. Digital Retail Lab is a research initiative incorporated by Julius- Maximilians-University of Wuerzburg and innovative fashion retail companies from the region.

Catwoman is the story of meek, mild-mannered artist Patience Philips, who works for Hedare Beauty, a mammoth cosmetics company on the verge of releasing a revolutionary anti-aging product.
When Patience inadvertently happens upon a dark secret her employer is hiding, she is attacked and killed. But Patience is given a second chance - a second life in which someone not quite human resides. Someone with the strength, speed, agility and ultra-keen senses of a cat.
With her newfound power, Patience becomes Catwoman, and sets out to stop Hedare's callous plan to unleash an appallingly dangerous product into the world.

Attention Span:
Believeability:
This film was incredibly frustrating for me to watch. While I do love my heroes and heroines, the computer generated effects from the Hulk were abysmal, and I had hoped to see a lot more actual actors in Catwoman. Unfortunately, despite casting Halle Berry as the lead title character, the majority was computer generated.
Clearly, with the rapidly advancing technology, it was only a matter of time before stuntmen and women would be pushed aside, in favour of CGI. But I find that Catwoman and the Hulk create a great counter argument against such a move.
The movie itself was graphically very shiny and sleek, but ultimately, the Catwoman came off looking more rubber-like and freakish than one would have hoped for. The plot in itself is an origin story, which is generally hard to stuff up; but it did not seem to follow any of the comic books versions or remakes.
With the Catwoman being dressed in a latex/vinyl style suit, I was expecting to have the 'dominatrix' storyline, but instead I was fed some absolute drivel about the lead character being killed in the opening scenes, but saved and given the ultimate agility powers by a magic Egyptian cat, that was earlier stuck on a ledge
Review by: mizim (Miriam)
Dated: 28th of February, 2014
Don't get it twisted. This is an awful film.
Halle Berry can't take full blame for the reason why this movie sucks, the script was juvenile and corny. She plays Patience Williams, a timid beauty ad designer who accidentally stumbles on to an evil plan by the owner of the company she works for. The evil plan involves marketing a beauty cream that is known to cause skin disorder and cancer. Patience is chased out of the building and into a drainage system where she falls to her doom and is revived by a cat.
This movie is humorously bad. Her origin with the cat that revives her is laughable. The way she walks so awkwardly (like she's had one too many catnip) in that tacky cat suit is a riot, the fight scenes as well as the dialogue is laughable too. The most funniest and probably the worst scene in the movie is where she beats her soon-to-be boyfriend/cop in basketball with HIGH HEELS ON!!! She looked like a total goof dribbling that ball between her legs. Then there's those moments in the movie where you have to suspend your intellect like the time Halle slid through those prison bars without getting stuck or the fact that the toxic cream that the main villain is peddling makes her(the villain) immune to punches and kicks that would knock the average person unconscious.
The acting is dreadful and the action is a joke.

After being resurrected by an ancient Egyptian cat, cosmetics industry designer Patience Phillips (Berry) turns from shy, badly-dressed punchbag into the vengeful, powerful Catwoman. Employing her feline powers, Phillips seeks rough justice for those who killed her...
Like Van Helsing with a smaller budget, this is only worth seeing if you can handle shallow characters and dull, plastic action scenes for the sake of unintentional laughs.
I rented this movie because I was expecting like a x-men movie or Elektra or something like that.......but what I got was the worst marvel movie ever made.....if it weren't for the hulk this would be the worst super hero movie ever.....in other words it stinks!!!
Berry's scenes with Alex Borstein play like a bad Fox comedy, while the CGI-laden sequences in the film often bring to mind cut scenes from a PlayStation game. Indeed, what is Hedare but the final boss in a videogame that plays itself? Pitof's visuals, while not original, are appropriately inhuman in their anxiousness. The same can't be said about the film's soundtrack. What with all the urban music used in the film to underscore the cheesy games Berry and Benjamin Bratt play with each other (on and off a ghetto basketball court), Catwoman sometimes feels as if it's been pieced together from a dozen or so Ally McBeal parodies trying to pose as hip-hop videos. I suppose one could argue that Pitof is to be rewarded for working into this film about sparring dualities an aesthetic that suffers itself from an identity crisis: the images think white but the soundtrack thinks black.

Dated: 31st of January, 2005
After the B-Grade hatchet jobs done to other Comic heros in recent movies (including Hulk, Hellboy, and some of the later Batman movies) I flat-out decided to wait until it was available on hire before I would hand over a single dollar.
Kinda glad I did really... though this was a surprisingly entertaining movie, I could not help but be niggled by some of it. The CGI scenes were, from the point of view of someone who has dabbled with CGI and found it almost impossible to get any decent results, a technical masterpiece... but they just didn't flow right, and were slightly overdone in places. This took a bit of the shine off them, making them less than they should have been.Some of the corny one-liners made for groans from this side of the screen, again taking something away that didn't need to go. Good dialog is vital to a SpFX-Special, otherwise you end up with a 'ham-&-cheese-on-whitebread' like Independance Day.
Ignoring plot holes and over-acting, the technical level of this movie was stunning! Not up to full spec by any means, but hey, it would take a few extra 0's on the end of the budget limit to really do these acrobatics justice. A bit like stetching a Sedan when a Limo isn't available... a compromise, but not the worst outcome by any means.
Overall, not bad for what it was at all. A bit corny, a bit limp in places, but still a strong contender for 'a good night in with the partner'. Warning: Contains highly inflamatory Feminist commentary, thinly disguised. Guys, deal with it, it's a quick shot and all over... think of it as an immunisation of sorts I guess. :)

Q: Confusion regarding Producers and Consumers in Kafka I am working on a existing project and using kafka to fetch some data from DB(for generating reports). I have some questions. Which may sound silly to many(Sorry for that). I am mentioning the steps which I have performed till now.

*

*Installed Confluent

*Started Zookeeper, Kafka and Schema Registry

*I had downloaded MySql connectors jars and copied to kafka-connect-jdbc

*Then made a mysql properties file with connection url, topic-prefix etc.

*The I started the mysql connector using this command
bin/connect-standalone     etc/schema-registry/connect-avro-standalone.properties etc/kafka-connect-jdbc/source-quickstart-mysql.properties

*After this if I run the avro consumer command in terminal using this command
 bin/kafka-avro-console-consumer --topic mysql-01 --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --from-beginning
it gives data succesfully.
Now, the problem and confusion.
 I want to get the same data by using Spring Boot.
 I am writing code only for consumer. Do I need a Producer here??(As per my understanding goes, I have data already in my topic, I just need to fetch that)
I have made an avro schema for that as well. It gets deserialized as well but I don't get the data.
The data which get printed in terminal is:
{"cust_code":27,"cust_description":{"string":"Endline survey completed"}}

The data in Spring Boot console is:
{"cust_code": "cust_description":{"string":""}}

Objective of the device: Recent advances in laparoscopic surgery include single-port access devices that allow accommodating multiple surgical instruments through one access site. The TransEnterix Single-Port Instrument Delivery Extended Research (SPIDER) system may improve single-site surgery by eliminating the need for multiple fascial incisions while replicating the triangulation use in current multiport techniques.
Description of the technology: In this study we describe a single incision gastrostomy tube placement using the TransEnterix SPIDER device in a patient with unresectable completely obstructing esophageal cancer in need for enteral access. Access to the abdominal cavity was achieved through a single 1.7 cm incision in the infraumbilical area through which the device was introduced.
Results: We have demonstrated in this study that single-port laparoscopic enteral access techniques with the TransEnterix SPIDER system result in minimal tissue trauma compared with standard multiport laparoscopic techniques. The use of both flexible arms facilitated retraction of the stomach with placement of the gastrostomy tube under direct visualization.
Conclusions: The TransEnterix SPIDER platform is effective in cases were triangulation is necessary. It is particularly useful in those procedures in which there is no need for specimen extraction and therefore incisions can be maintained small.

Historic Droitwich: Its Streets and People
Historic Droitwich: Its Streets and People is a project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) which has been carried out over three and a half years to March 2017 by members of the Dodderhill Parish Survey Project group. We hope that this will be the first of two or three HLF-supported phases and that we can carry out further research on the architectural and social history of the town's earliest streets and buildings.
The current project has looked at documentary evidence of the people who have lived and worked in the town over 8 centuries (from the 1200s to the mid 1900s), and at the buildings which survive that were constructed initially from the 1300s to the 1600s.
The project's results are available on its website, which has been launched to include the most important of Droitwich's oldest buildings, and will soon be updated with more information on other buildings which also survive from the 1500s or 1600s.
More will be added to the website as time and our research move forward: to include buildings 'lost' over the last century or so, to add information on buildings constructed from the 1700s onwards, and to include the results of further research on the people of the town such as family tree reconstructions and information from sources not yet accessed.

All The King's Men
Set in the 1930s, this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel traces the rise and fall of Willie Stark, who resembles the real-life Huey "Kingfish" Long of Louisiana. Stark begins his political career as an idealistic man of the people but soon becomes corrupted by success. Generally considered the finest novel ever written on American politics, All the King's Men is a literary classic.

The library should offer readers the original 1946 Pulitzer Prize-winning edition and make a clear distinction between that one (approved by Warren) and the later edition that was changed after his death.
wyenotgo Aug 27, 2015
Warren has mastered the art of vernacular prose better than any writer I know, and he puts it to good use, seamlessly blending small-town deep south patios with the polished lyricism of an accomplished poet, thereby creating a compelling sense of time and place.
This is a story of self-discovery, conflicting values, loves that go disastrously awry; and above all, it's about the many blurred lines between good and evil, as men's pursuit of their goals drives them to increasingly desperate actions, spiraling into violence, mayhem and ultimately into a degree of corruption no better than that which they initially sought to overcome.
A true American classic, unmatched by any political novel I've read, except for "Advise and Consent".
michael12 Oct 10, 2014
This is the "restored" edition from Warren's original manuscripts. It is not the edition that was published in 1946, and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1947. The editors at that time made a number of changes to make the book more palatable to the times. Bawdy passages were eliminated and crude references were softened. The narrator was made more sympathetic. The name of the hero was changed from Willie Talos to Willie Stark, to make the name sound less foreign and confusing. The editors adopted the publishing house style which negated much of Warren's stylistic flair. All of these changes have been removed for this restored edition. Still it would be nice if EPL had the original edition for comparison.
JLMason Nov 01, 2010
This book contains the most beautifully written poetic prose I've ever read. Not surprising: I discovered that the author was a poet and the first poet laureate of the US. You will reread sentences and paragraphs to marvel at their beauty and sensuality. The author has both an ability to capture a sense of place and a sense of character; you know these people. There are twists and turns in the plot that are not predictable. The book is considered one of the finest fictional accounts of politics ever written. Not surprising that it won a Pulitzer. The original movie based on it in the 1940's won best picture. I am now seeking out other books by this author.

Political Corruption — Fiction.

WATCH Video: Atiba Harris Signs New Contract with FC Dallas
Posted on December 15, 2016 in Sports // 0 Comments
FRISCO, Texas (Thursday, Dec. 15) – FC Dallas has re-signed defender Atiba Harris to a new contract.
Harris, 31, is a veteran of 246 appearances, has scored 29 goals and has 26 assists. The St. Kitts and Nevis native has played 96 MLS matches in an FC Dallas uniform, scoring nine times and adding 11 assists in two separate stints.
Harris' first term with FCD coincided with Dallas' rapid rise to an MLS Cup appearance in 2010, after the club missed out on the postseason in 2008 and 2009. His second tenure with Dallas has been more impressive, helping the club to the two best regular seasons in franchise history (2015-16), the 2016 Supporters' Shield, a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title and a berth in the Knockout Round of CONCACAF Champions' League.
Harris willed FC Dallas to its berth in the Champions' League Quarterfinal by scoring the only goal in Dallas' 1-1 draw in Nicaragua against Real Estelí on Aug. 24. He also netted the game-winning goal in a 5-2 win against Suchitepéquez on Oct. 20.
Dallas opens its 2017 season with a Champions' League match at Toyota Stadium against Panamanian side Árabe Unido on Thursday, Feb. 23.
The signing comes just less than a month after retiring from International Play for St.Kitts-Nevis where he served as Team Captain for the last 4 years.

LSB chairman warns MPs of "unintended consequences" of referral fee ban
Posted by Dan Bindman
Edmonds: you don't intervene where there is no evidence
Banning referral fees in personal injury (PI) may have unintended consequences that will be worse than the current situation, Legal Services Board (LSB) chairman David Edmonds told MPs yesterday.
Meanwhile, he predicted it would be possible to scrap the existing system of legal regulation rapidly and replace the LSB and the eight frontline regulators with a single over-arching regulator.
In an unapologetic defence of the board's position on the ban before the House of Commons' Justice Committee, Mr Edmonds reiterated the LSB's scepticism and highlighted the fact that the market in PI referral fees had operated without any detriment to consumers.
The committee's chairman, Sir Alan Beith, said he and his colleagues wanted the ban and made clear he viewed referral fees as an integral part of a system which encouraged claims management companies to harass people to make unwarranted personal injury claims. While condemning this behaviour, Mr Edmonds stuck to his argument that the evidence did not justify a ban.
He said: "I'm both defensive and protective of our stance on referral fees… I like to see markets operating in a way in which markets can operate, which is that referrals are made and satisfactory solutions are found – and you don't intervene where there is no evidence that you should intervene."
Accused by Sir Alan of complacency, Mr Edmonds – flanked by LSB chief executive Chris Kenny – pointed out that the Legal Services Consumer Panel had concluded there was no consumer detriment resulting from referral fees. He conceded only that there was "a degree of agnosticism on the part of my board, fuelled by the report of my own consumer panel, because if anyone was going to… find evidence of consumer detriment it would be the research that they commissioned in this area – and they didn't find any".
He said it was "incredibly difficult" to make a ban on referral fees "stick" and that moving to a "more complex" system that lacks transparency for consumers might have "unintended consequences". He added: "I just worry that we'd end up in a situation that is worse than the one that we have at the moment."
Although he would not be drawn on exactly what consequences he foresaw, he made reference to devising "another way of paying the fee" and "another way of quid pro quo" – both of which would apparently breach the ban.
Addressing the committee with Bar Standards Board chair, Baroness Ruth Deech, and the Bar Council chairman, Maura McGowan, in the public seats immediately behind him, Mr Edmonds said he had "serious doubts" that the existing regulatory framework could "hold good" for the next five years.
"I don't see why in two or three years' time it wouldn't be possible to create a regulator that applied itself across the whole landscape. I think it would be clearer for consumers. I think it would be clearer for lawyers. But there would be enormous resistance if you attempted to wind in the existing primary regulators into a single organisation."
On accusations by the BSB, Bar Council, Law Society and – most recently – the Solicitors Regulation Authority of regulatory 'creep' and micro-management by the LSB, Mr Edmonds described the criticisms as "unfounded". But he accepted there were tensions between the LSB and frontline regulators, which he said was natural for a 'supra-regulator' and the community it regulated.
Questioned by Plaid Cymru MP Elfyn Llwyd, a dual-qualified solicitor and barrister, on why along with will writing for regulation, Mr Kenny said it had been a fine judgement but that the numbers of unregulated people doing it did not justify intervention. He explained: "I won't pretend it was anything other than a 55:45 decision".
referral fees
Robert Malcolm says:
Having recently experienced the claims management companies' approach to business after a traffic accident I can only applaud the impending ban on referral fees.
They attempt to cloak their lack of details about an incident by inappropriately hiding behind the DPA even when the information concerns a road or a time.
It's a dirty industry that requires the regulators to regulate properly, not waste time pleading their case that they should be allowed to pay people for passing on personal information that must have been leaked from an information system, contrary to the DPA, in the first instance.
Louise Restell says:
What David Edmonds has shown, intentionally or otherwise, is that the referral fee ban has nothing whatsoever to do with consumer detriment and everything to do with ministers falling completely for the insurance industry line. It would be nice if referral fees were the root of all evil and banning them would solve everything, but the truth is much more complicated. Sadly, politicians like an easy answer.
Rob Gee says:
Will insurance come down savings will not be past on because the insurance companies will be worse off.
John Jones says:

Study: "LinkedIn is Basically a Money Pit" Because of Ad Fraud
by Samuel Scott | Sep 8, 2020 | Marketing Essays
The LinkedIn Ads network is likely awash in mistaken clicks and bot traffic that make the platform's value extremely dubious, according to a new study from global digital agency RMG that the company shared exclusively with me.
Three weeks ago, RMG founding partner Ryan Gellis posted a thread wondering if LinkedIn "is full of fraudulent accounts and unchecked misclicks that artificially inflate the cost of advertising and result in poor performance compared to other ad networks." The ensuing discussion inspired him to look into the issue further.
Gellis goes through his findings in this YouTube video. For the test, RMG promoted a webinar by targeting c-certain c-suite executives at large companies in the United States based on their job titles. The ad encouraged them to click to sign up for for event for free.
The first issue the agency found was the projected versus actual cost per click. LinkedIn estimated a $25 average CPC. The actual campaign CPC was nearly $45.
"What's the point of forecasting if you project one cost and then the actual cost ends up being 200% the projection?" Gellis asks in the video.
But the real issue was the source of the clicks themselves. LinkedIn's ad platform reported 11 clicks. RMG's logs showed ten clicks. FullStory, the digital experience analytics platform that RMG uses, stated that eight people registered for the webinar. However, the true number of registrations was zero.
"Zero people signed up for the webinar from that specific campaign," Gellis told me in an interview. "That's kind of the punch line and why I believe this is newsworthy. Nobody signed up. In fact, nobody even exhibited what I believe is real user behavior on the site after clicking the ad. That is also true of all the other ads we ran on LinkedIn. We had a total of 0 people ever "sign up" on any ad we ran during our testing on LinkedIn — regardless of the ad format or messaging."
RMG suspects bot activity or misattributed misclicks had been the cause because visitors would bounce away from the webinar's landing page before it even had a chance to render — in other words, they would click the LinkedIn advertisement and then leave the website in less than 1.3 seconds. In addition, FullStory reported mouse movements that were nothing like what an actual human would do.
"As far as we're concerned, the LinkedIn ad network basically has fraudulent clicks and/or misclicks that don't get attributed to the users that are being passed through as leads in campaigns," Gellis says in the video.
Of course, the simple size in RMG's one-day test was extremely small. The target audience size was 16,000. The number of impressions would be between 680 and 2,000. The cost was $250. But Gellis told me that the results match a prior, larger test.
During a $3,000 campaign in March, LinkedIn reported 256 clicks with an average CPC of $11. The company received zero leads from all of the clicks.
"You'll see the call to action is 'Request Demo,'" Gellis said. "So, arguably, a user who sees this ad and clicks legitimately on it will be looking to get a demo of the analytics tool we were marketing. If the ads were giving us behavior like this on a $3,000-per-month budget, it's unlikely they would have performed any better with additional budget."
RMG charges that LinkedIn's advertising is on a closed network and does not follow the Interactive Advertising Bureau's standards for digital advertising. (The IAB did not respond to a request for comment.)
After reviewing RMG's findings, a LinkedIn spokesperson sent me the following company statement.
"LinkedIn is a members-first organization and our Ads program is designed to ensure that only high-quality, relevant ads are served to our members. We prohibit the use of bots or other automated fraudulent methods to access our services, as they are in violation of the User Agreement. Additionally, LinkedIn is a member of the IAB and works closely with the organization and its members to help develop standards for the digital advertising industry."
But when summarizing his findings in the video, Gellis is skeptical of LinkedIn.
"As far as we can tell, LinkedIn is basically a money pit," he says. "You're not going to get the performance that you would expect out of the network."

A: Seems relevant to Change time format in Django Views
Use
microsecond=0

Or you can format your datetime in view as you want following that template filter https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/templates/builtins/#std:templatefilter-date
{{ value|date:"Y-m-d" }} {{ value|time:"H:i:s" }}

A: you can set datetime format for your created_date, by settings for all datetime fields:
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DATETIME_FORMAT': "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M",
}

only for current serializer, and if your other fields it is just reference you can use source option, for example:
class EnrolledSerializer(ModelSerializer):
    created_date = serializers.DateTimeField(format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
    ptitle = serializers.CharField(source='product.author.username')

read the docs: date-and-time-fields and source.

Teravainen Helps Lift Hurricanes Past Wild 5-1
Filed Under:Minnesota Wild
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Teuvo Teravainen had a goal and two assists and the Carolina Hurricanes kept pace in the playoff race with a 5-1 win over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night.
Jordan Staal, Brett Pesce, Andrei Svechnikov and Lucas Wallmark also scored for Carolina, which picked up its fifth win in seven games to keep its hold on the Eastern Conference's first wild-card spot. Petr Mrazek stopped 24 shots.
The Hurricanes, who own the NHL's longest playoff drought at nine seasons, have a five-point cushion with eight games to play.
Eric Staal scored and Devyn Dubnyk made 28 saves for the Wild, who dropped out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference with the loss and Colorado's 4-2 win over Chicago. Minnesota played without leading scorer Zach Parise after he took a high stick to the face against Washington on Friday.
The Hurricanes outshot the Wild 34-25 and controlled the tempo from the outset.
The first period was scoreless only because Dubnyk kept it that way, making a string of string of highlight-reel saves_including stopping Svechnikov on a breakaway_to keep Carolina off the board.
But the Hurricanes finally broke through 3:06 into the second when Justin Faulk's shot from the point hit Jordan Staal's skate in front of the net and redirected through Dubnyk's legs, and the floodgates opened.
Just over two minutes later, following a Wild turnover at center ice, Justin Williams fed Pesce at the top of the left faceoff circle and Pesce finished with a wrister past Dubnyk's glove into the upper-left corner to make it 2-0.
Eric Staal got Minnesota on the board with a power-play goal midway through the second after Micheal Ferland received a double-minor for high-sticking, but Carolina put it away with three third-period goals.
Svechnikov took a nifty backhand pass from Teravainen in the slot and buried it in the opening minutes of the third to make it a two-goal game again, and Wallmark finished a one-timer from Ferland with 10:51 remaining to all but wrap up the victory.
Teravainen added the final punch when he stole the puck at center ice and beat Dubnyk on a breakaway.
Wild: Host Nashville on Monday.
Hurricanes: Host Montreal on Sunday.

Axion Power(TM) to Work With Norfolk Southern on Battery-Driven Locomotive Project
Axion Power International Inc (OTC Bulletin Board: AXPW), the developer of advanced PbC® batteries, announced today that it will launch a development program with Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC), one of the nation's largest railways, to develop a battery management system that would allow rail locomotives to operate on battery power and recharge their batteries through regenerative braking.
Axion Power Chairman & CEO Thomas Granville commented, "Railways are the most fuel-efficient method of transporting freight, moving a ton of freight 457 miles on a single gallon of fuel. The ability to run locomotives on electricity is well-established, although the standard means of doing so to date has either been a third rail or an overhead connection both of which require extensive and expensive infrastructure apparatus. Most locomotives currently operate by burning fossil fuels. Utilizing Axion's unique PbC batteries with their high level of charge acceptance and high cycle life will allow selected locomotives to operate free from diesel generator sets – and will help make Norfolk Southern trains the cleanest in North America.
"The key will be developing a battery management system that is robust, safe, dependable and easy to maintain," Granville said. "We are highly confident, based on our ongoing work, that this system can be successfully demonstrated in a fairly short time frame. We are, of course, pleased and delighted to be working with Norfolk Southern, an industry leader and a trail-blazer in hybrid locomotives."
About Norfolk Southern Corporation
Norfolk Southern is one of the nation's premier transportation companies. Its Norfolk Southern Railway subsidiary operates approximately 21,000 route miles in 22 states and the District of Columbia, serves every major container port in the eastern United States, and provides efficient connections to other rail carriers. Norfolk Southern operates the most extensive intermodal network in the East and is a major transporter of coal and industrial products.
Axion has developed and patented a next generation energy storage device that won the prestigious Frost & Sullivan Technology Award for North America in the field of lead-acid batteries. According to Frost & Sullivan, Axion's new PbC® batteries have "the potential to revitalize the lead-acid battery industry by breathing new life into an established technology that is not well suited to the requirements of important new applications like hybrid electric vehicles and renewable power."
Axion Power International, Inc. is the industry leader in the field of lead-acid-carbon energy storage technologies. Axion believes this new battery technology is the only class of advanced battery that can be assembled on existing lead-acid battery production lines throughout the world without significant changes to production equipment and fabrication processes. It also believes it will be able to manufacture carbon electrode assemblies in volume at low cost using standard automated production methods that are commonly used in other industries.
If and when its electrode manufacturing methods are fully developed, Axion believes it will be able to sell carbon electrode assemblies as virtual plug-and-play replacements for lead-based negative electrodes used by all other lead-acid battery manufacturers. Axion's future goal, after filling their plant's lead-carbon battery production capacity, is to become the leading supplier of carbon electrode assemblies for the global lead-acid battery industry.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama says hes not sure whether the Patriots cheated when they used deflated footballs in the game that got them to the Super Bowl, but says he assumes the NFL will consider giving referees more control of the footballs.Obama said in a live NBC interview from the White House kitchen about two hours before kickoff Sunday he doesnt think theres any other sport where teams prepare and bring their own game balls.Obama says he assumes the NFL will figure out how to put referees in charge of the footballs from start to finish to avoid any of these controversies.Obama says he thinks the Patriots would have beaten the Colts regardless of the footballs.But pressed on whether they cheated he said: I think that if you break the rules then you break the rules.New England is playing the Seattle Seahawks for the NFL title.

SEOUL, South Korea -- The head of the organizing committee for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang resigned Monday, saying new leadership and a "stronger system" is needed to complete preparations for the games. Former provincial governor Kim Jin-sun was elected president of the organizing committee in late 2011 after Pyeongchang won the right to host the first Winter Olympics in South Korea. He was re-elected last year for another two-year term. "PyeongChang 2018 is at a turning point for the latter half of its games preparation, which requires more detailed planning and execution," Kim said Monday, according to a committee statement. "At this critical juncture, I believe that PyeongChang 2018 needs new leadership and a stronger system that will effectively carry out various games-related projects," he said. The organizing committee did not comment on the process for replacing Kim or his likely successor. Kim, former governor of the eastern Gangwon province which includes Pyeongchang, led the South Korean towns two unsuccessful bids for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics. In 2010, he stepped down as governor and had since served as an ambassador to Pyeonchangs bid committee for the 2018 games. Kims tenure was to officially end in October 2015 and it is not known what exactly caused his early departure. International Olympic Committee officials who visited Pyeongchang recently expressed no major concerns about preparations for 2018. Gunilla Lindberg, who led the IOC co-ordination commission on a threee-day inspection visit, said a large amount of work had been achieved since the panels previous visit in June last year.dddddddddddd "The 2018 games are on the right track, but it is clear that much work remains," Lindberg said. "With only four years to go until the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympic Winter Games begin, it was important for the commission to be able to survey the progress being made on the different venues. We are pleased to see that work on key sites like the sliding centre and coastal Olympic Village has begun." IOC President Thomas Bach visited Pyeongchang earlier this month and downplayed concerns about tight construction schedules. "It is not new that when it comes to the organization of games that, in one or the other project, there are some delays in comparison to the previous plans, so theres no reason right now to become nervous," Bach said. He said the IOC remains confident that Pyeongchang can organize "excellent" games. The IOC thanked Kim on Monday for "his hard work and excellent commitment" to the organizing committee, known as POCOG. "We held our last project review meeting with POCOG at the end of June and developed with them a clear roadmap of activities until the end of the year," the IOC said in a statement. "We have full confidence that these activities will be delivered by the POCOG team in a timely manner and using their existing processes. We continue to work closely with them on their preparations for the games."
