CPC Definition - Subclass F21L
Last Updated Version: 2022.05
F21L
LIGHTING DEVICES OR SYSTEMS THEREOF, BEING PORTABLE OR SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR TRANSPORTATION
Definition statement
This place covers:
Lighting devices or systems of lighting devices which are specially adapted to be carried, e.g. by hand, or otherwise transported from place to place, e.g. on wheeled supports, in order to provide illumination where required. The light sources of the lighting devices may be either electrically powered (e.g. by electric batteries, electric cells, electric generators or cables for electric mains connection) or non-electrically powered (e.g. by combustion or daylight).
Details and components specially adapted to be used for carrying or transporting lighting devices or systems of lighting devices.
Relationships with other classification places
The borderline between subclasses F21L and F21S is defined by the words "portable" and "fixed", not by "movable" and "non-movable". For example, lighting devices or systems used in the operation of vehicles, e.g. headlights, which are fixed on the vehicle and move together with the vehicle when it is travelling are considered to be non-portable, since they are components of the vehicle and fixed relative to the remainder of the vehicle at a permanent location. Such lighting devices are classified in subclass F21S. Lighting devices transported by a vehicle between locations and used for lighting purposes not related to the operation of the vehicle are classified in F21L.
Functional features or details of lighting devices or systems are classified in subclass F21V.
Structural combinations of lighting devices with other articles are classified in F21V 33/00, unless specifically provided for in this subclass or elsewhere in the CPC.
Light sources per se are covered in places indicated in the section "Informative references".
In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclass F21W in order to indicate the uses or applications of lighting devices, and of F21Y in order to indicate the form of the light sources of lighting devices.

Q: Is there a best practice or general calculation for burst and limit size when using TC? When using tc to rate limit an interface, one of the parameters that need to be specified is the burst or buffer size. I've read a few things trying to understand, but I still find it confusing how to know what to use.
Is there a best practice or simple calculation that can be used to set the burst/buffer amount for smooth communication?
Like say a certain % of the configured bandwidth limit or something like that?
I read a few articles where they showed examples but they were using pretty low speeds and I found that I had issues trying to translate that to higher speeds.
ex. 100mbit limit with 12.5mbit burst worked fine, but I seemed to have issues trying to use 1gbit limit with 125mbit burst. (was tryng to just use 12.5% of limit)
Also, is there any consequence to just setting an extremely large burst? (for example if limit = 1gbit & burst also = 1gbit?)
I'm also wondering pretty much the exact same thing as above, but for the limit parameter as well

The June 2017 edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report forecasts that, in 2022, monthly mobile data traffic per active smartphone in North America will reach 26 GB.
Monthly data traffic per smartphone continues to increase in all regions, despite large differences in data consumption patterns between networks, markets and subscriber segments. North America has the highest usage and traffic is expected to reach 6.9 GB per month per active smartphone by the end of 2017. This is almost twice as high as Western Europe – the region with the second highest usage – where it is set to reach 3.9 GB per month per smartphone by the end of 2017.
In 2022, North America will still be the region with the highest monthly usage at 26 GB, but other regions will be catching up. Factors that will drive usage include an increase in the number of LTE subscriptions, improved device capabilities and more attractive data plans, as well as an increase in data-intensive content.
Going forwards, traffic generated by smartphones will dominate even more than it does today. Between the end of 2016 and 2022, smartphone traffic is expected to increase by nine times, and total mobile traffic for all devices by eight times. By the end of the forecast period, more than 90 percent of mobile data traffic will come from smartphones.
As the most populous region, Asia Pacific has the largest share of mobile data traffic. This will continue into 2022, when the total mobile traffic in the region is expected to exceed 30 ExaBytes (EB). A rapid growth in mobile broadband subscriptions is expected, with China alone set to add 495 million mobile broadband subscriptions between the end of 2016 and 2022.
The level of mobile broadband maturity still varies greatly between countries in Asia Pacific. For instance, South Korea and Japan engaged in early deployment of LTE with a fast uptake, and markets like Singapore and Hong Kong are also highly advanced. In less developed countries, GSM is still the dominant technology, and insufficient network quality and the cost of data subscriptions remain barriers to higher mobile data consumption.
The region spanning Central and Eastern Europe and Middle East and Africa (CEMA) will experience an elevenfold increase in mobile data traffic up to the end of 2022. This is driven by a strong growth in LTE and smartphone subscriptions, as well as a demand for data-intensive applications like video.
North America and Western Europe currently have a larger share of total traffic volume than their subscription numbers imply. This is due to a greater penetration of high-end user devices and well built-out WCDMA and LTE networks, complemented with affordable packages offering large volumes of data. This combination leads to high data usage per subscription.


Alice Guilhon is dean of Skema business school in France. As dean of the former Ceram business school she oversaw the merger between Ceram and ESC Lille in 2009 to create Skema. Before taking on the role of dean she taught at several other schools including Trois-Rivières in Canada and the University of Aix en Provence in France.
Prof Guilhon's education includes a masters in economics and a Phd. Last year, she was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Mérite by decree of the French President of the Republic, in recognition of her work with the Ministry of Higher Education and Research of France.
Having spent an early childhood growing up in the south of France and Tunisia, Ms Guilhon says she now lives "in a plane" because she divides her time between Lille, Paris, Nice and overseas. She enjoys opera, sport and epistemology - the study of knowledge.
(1) What do you enjoy most about your job?
There's a satisfaction in the knowledge that we are working for the students, helping them develop their personalities, both personally and professionally. As teachers, we have a lot of responsibility vis à vis our students. We have to open their minds and get them thinking critically as well making sure that they always want to keep on learning.
(2) What is the best piece of advice a teacher gave you?
To always listen and try to understand that people have different ways of doing things.
(3) When did you know you wanted to teach?
My father was a teacher and I knew I wanted to follow in his footsteps when I was 10. He was a university professor and was head of the economic chair in Marseille. I was full of admiration when he talked about his teaching experiences, especially in Tunisia. I think I was impressed because he was stood before an amphitheatre with 1000 students!
(4) What academic achievement are you most proud of?
The merger that I oversaw between Ceram and ESC Lille business schools. It was the first time two high-growth, international business schools decided to merge and position a school around the knowledge economy.
(5) What is your biggest lesson learnt?
To be humble when faced with injustice.
(6) What advice would you give to women in business?
I always have three words in the back of my mind: Courage, conviction and tenacity.
(7) How do you deal with male-dominated environments?
The strength of women is to know how to play on the weaknesses that have largely been institutionalised by men. Letting them believe that they are stronger, better and smarter, men tend to rest on their laurels. Women are on the whole less gullible.
(8) What is your favourite business book?
(9) What is your life philosophy?
(10) What is your plan B?
If I did not run a business school, I would work for the French Interior Ministry, specialising in economic security and competitive intelligence, which is my field of research.

Rabbitohs extend contract of Thomas Burgess until the end of the 2023 season
Wed 30 Jan 2019, 09:08 AM
Thomas Burgess Members Message
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are excited to announce the contract extension of international front row forward Thomas Burgess until the end of the 2023 season.
Burgess, 26, has made 119 NRL appearances since making his debut against Parramatta in 2013, adding to his 46 first team games for the Bradford Bulls in the English Super League before joining his three brothers Sam, George and Luke at South Sydney.
Thomas has gone on to represent England in 25 Test matches over the past six seasons as well as playing for the World All Stars in 2016. Thomas was part of the Rabbitohs premiership-winning 2014 team and was also part of the team that defeated St Helens in the 2015 World Club Challenge.
Burgess is very happy to be continuing his tenure with South Sydney.
I'm really looking forward to the seasons ahead and wearing that famous Red and Green jersey
Thomas Burgess
"Souths is all I've known and I'm really pumped to be signed up long term now," Burgess said.
"The Club gave me a chance when I came to Australia for the first time, a 20-year-old young lad, not knowing what to expect. Now six or seven years down the track, I'm still enjoying my football here.
"I love calling Sydney home and I wouldn't want to play anywhere else in the NRL than with the Rabbitohs.
"To play my 100th game with Souths last year was really significant for me, but now it's about quality rather than quantity and I want to play my best each week.
"I'm looking forward to getting out there and performing for the Members. They are the cornerstone of our Club and without them, the Club wouldn't be in the position it's in today.
"I'm really looking forward to the seasons ahead and wearing that famous Red and Green jersey."
He is one of the best props in the game worldwide and we're really happy to know that he will be representing our Club for at least the next five years
Shane Richardson General Manager of Football
Rabbitohs General Manager of Football, Shane Richardson, says Burgess is one of the key components of South Sydney's forward pack.
"Tom has shown great improvement in his game each season since he joined the Rabbitohs back in 2013 and we believe his best football is in front of him," Mr Richardson said.
"He is a big body in the middle for us, he has worked hard on his attack and equally so on his defence in recent seasons.
"He is also a great character to have around the team and a positive influence on the younger players in the squad.
"He understands what South Sydney is all about, he lives and breathes The Rabbitoh Way, and we know that he will give his best every time he represents the Rabbitohs, on or off the field.
"He is one of the best props in the game worldwide and we're really happy to know that he will be representing our Club for at least the next five years."

Q: NullPointerException when testing controller in Play 2.6 I'm working on a Scala Play 2.6 application that uses ReactiveMongo. I've followed the example of HomeControllerSpec.scala of the default Play 2.6 installation (play-scala-seed.g8) to test my ProjectController by creating a new instance of it but I am getting a NullPointerException.
Here's my controller:
class ProjectController @Inject()(
      cc: ControllerComponents,
      val reactiveMongoApi: ReactiveMongoApi
  )(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) extends AbstractController(cc) with I18nSupport {

  def collection: Future[JSONCollection] = reactiveMongoApi.database.map(
    _.collection[JSONCollection]("project")
  )

  def listProjects: Action[AnyContent] = Action.async { implicit request =>
    val futureProjectsList: Future[List[Project]] = collection.flatMap(
      _.find(Json.obj())
      .projection(Json.obj())
      .cursor[Project]()
      .collect[List](-1, Cursor.FailOnError[List[Project]]())
    )

    for {
      projectsList <- futureProjectsList
    } yield {
      Ok(views.html.project.list(projectsList))
    }
  }
}

And this is my test:
class ProjectControllerSpec extends PlaySpec
  with GuiceOneAppPerTest
  with Injecting
  with MockitoSugar {

  val mockedReactiveMongoApi: ReactiveMongoApi = mock[ReactiveMongoApi]
  val mockedExecutionContext: ExecutionContext = mock[ExecutionContext]

  "ProjectController GET" should {
    "render the 'List of Projects' page from a new instance of controller" in {
      val controller: ProjectController = new ProjectController(
                                                      stubControllerComponents(),
                                                      mockedReactiveMongoApi
                                                    )(mockedExecutionContext) {
        override def collection: Future[JSONCollection] = mock[Future[JSONCollection]]
      }
      val result = controller.listProjects().apply(FakeRequest(GET, "/projects"))

      status(result) mustBe OK
      contentType(result) mustBe Some("text/html")
      contentAsString(result) must include ("Projects")
    }
  }
}

But when I run the test I get:
[info]   java.lang.NullPointerException:

I also run 2 other tests for this controllers and they pass (render page from the app by injecting the controller, rendering from the router). So how can I get this test to pass? Thank you in advance for your help.

A: The NullPointerException comes from the use of the mock objects that have no defined behavior. So when the execution reaches reactiveMongoApi.database this will cause the exception.
This github project introduced a way of mocking the reactive mongo api but it's not really maintained anymore.
You can also check acolyte that allows you to mock the mongo connection.
By the way, you should not use mocks for the ExecutionContext, otherwise your Futures won't work

Video Game Review: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Gameboy)
December 20, 2019 by Talking Pulp	in Reviews, Video Game Review and tagged action, adventure, fantasy, Gameboy, Kid Icarus, platformer, review, side scroller, vertical scroller, video game
As much as I have liked firing up and playing the original Kid Icarus every few years since I was a kid, I had never played its sequel, which was released on the Gameboy, as opposed to the original Nintendo.
I feel like this is a severely underutilized franchise and to date, there have only been three Kid Icarus games made. Granted, the character of Pit does make appearances in other games, sometimes as simple cameos and sometimes as a playable character like in the Super Smash Bros. game series.
Despite quite a lengthy break between the first game and this one, Of Myths and Monsters doesn't really break any new ground. In fact, this almost exactly follows the template of the first game in how it goes from vertical scrolling levels to side scrolling ones and then gives you a fortress at the end of each world that can scroll in either direction.
Furthermore, this has the same amount of levels, laid out the same way. The graphics almost look identical, even though this lacks color, and the mechanics function about the same, although platform jumping seems a bit improved here.
My only real complaint is lack of color, which couldn't be avoided due to the Gameboy platform at the time. However, the final level in this is ridiculously insane.
But this chapter in the series does improve one major thing: boss battles.
Where Kid Icarus had lame, easy to beat bosses that were still incredibly tedious to fight because of their hit count, Of Myth and Monsters actually gives us some cool bosses, especially the final boss, that aren't as maddening to fight.
But even with better bosses, this is still bogged down by the last level and the black and white presentation. So I guess this makes it break even with the original game.
Pairs well with: the original Kid Icarus, as well as other NES and Gameboy action fantasy or sci-fi games like the two original Zeldas, Rygar or Metroid.

Two Buddhist Tourism Circuits to be Developed
Published: 05th May 2015 05:59 AM | Last Updated: 05th May 2015 05:59 AM | A+A A-
VIJAYAWADA:The TDP government proposes to develop two mega Buddhist tourism circuits in the state, covering 21 of the 50 prominent Buddhist heritage sites in eight districts of AP, at an estimated cost of Rs 1,500 cr.
Disclosing this while inaugurating a 5-day exhibition of paintings and sculptures on the life and preachings of Gautam Buddha at the Akriti Art Gallery here Monday, collector Babu A said that a proposal in this regard, prepared by the Andhra Pradesh Project Facilitators & Consultancy Services Limited, had been submitted to the central government for approval and the same was awaited. The collector further said: "Many precious monuments and tourist places in the region have been neglected so far. To revive the neglected sites, especially in the Vijayawada-Machilipatnam tourism circuit, the government appointed KPMG India as a consultant and it has submitted a proposal for the development of the tourism circuit. It focused on the Buddhist, Dutch and French monuments that have been abandoned in and around Machilipatnam."

Located on Jinhua Rd., next to Me Too Café and the 166 Loft Park, with lots of roadside parking, King Pot boasts a nice open layout with wood fixtures and not a lot of ornamentation to distract you from the gleaming copper hot pots or the food you throw in.
A small note about service: we went twice for this review—the opening night was a mess, with less said about it the better, but the second time was great, with fast and efficient service. However, you may want to take that into consideration before making the trip there on a Saturday night.
A few words about Beijing hotpot versus the more widely known Sichuan style hot pot. While Sichuan style relies on oils and loads of numbing chili peppers in the broth to give flavor to the meats and veggies you put in, Beijing hotpot presents you with a broth far clearer than any air you'll find in Beijing. Because the broth is nearly flavorless, this kind of hot pot relies on great sauces; also, you can't hide crappy ingredients behind mouth-numbing hot chilies. Also, because it isn't insanely spicy, it's a nice fit for summer weather, and won't leave you bloated and sweating red oil out your pores.
King Pot makes a real effort to give you great ingredients for your personal hotpot. The beef is all really fresh, and cut into big sheets served on ice or in delicious rolls. The lamb was thick cut, so it took a little longer to cook, but that also allowed you to better appreciate the texture of the meat. Also recommended is the shrimp paste; it looks kind of icky, but once it's cooked, it's like having big nuggets of delicious shrimp. You can also get your regular vegetables too, and once everything is cooked, you can dip it into their special sesame sauce, or more traditional Beijing hotpot sauce. Also don't forget the deep fried mantou, and the Beijing-style fried noodles. Prices for meat range from 38RMB to 168RMB (for Angus steak), and vegetables and side dishes are between 10 and 20RMB each. Wash it all down with their own dark beer (26RMB) and you've got a great meal for the summer.

Band of One: The River EP
The River EP by Band of One
Available at: all good download stores
Project homepage: Bandcamp
It's that time of year when I release something from Band of One. As the name suggests, this side project is just something I do that's all me, no brief or anything, keeping the song writing muscles exercised and basically trying stuff out for the sake of it.
Band of One isn't something I actively promote, I'm not signed to a label and I don't have a marketing budget. All I ask is that if you like what you hear then leave a review where you downloaded it from. That helps with the rankings in those stores. Oh, and maybe like the Facebook page / Twitter thingy and share some posts!
So, what's unique about this release? After last year's 'Being Ghosts' album release - a full band 'rock' production - I wanted to do something different. As I've never done an acoustic EP, I thought that could be an interesting thing to try and produce. I did end up adding some other instruments, so I suppose I can claim it to be a mostly-acoustic EP, but I suppose rules are there to be broken eh?
Finally, I sometimes get asked what my songs are about and I almost always fail to explain them properly. So here are some explanations to go with this year's release, along with the instruments I recorded for each song:
(Acoustic guitar, electric bass, piano, drums, tambourine, hammond, vocals)
Back in the summer of 2013 there was a series of Wednesday evenings where a group of friends gathered on a boat and floated around on the Thames near home. Everyone was going through something and the river was a tonic that soothed. That point in the evening where the sun was nearly down and the water was like a sheet of glass remains one of my favourite things. Add the fact that it was still warm and Pink Floyd was playing on the boat stereo, well, you get the idea.
(Guitar thump, hand claps, acoustic guitar, electric bass, 'cello, piano, vocals)
In 2011 I made the enormous leap from teaching to composing music for a living without really considering how to go about it. I was lucky to have a pal who gave me some work initially (thanks Mike), but I didn't really know where I was heading or how to get there. If ever there was a leap of faith this was it for me. So, of course, in the meantime I had doubts and paranoia and inner arguments about whether this career was going work, but (as with most things) the best way to learn how do something is to get on and do it. You can read more about the production of this song here.
Miracles and Accidents
(Acoustic guitar, piano, vocals)
I've learned in the last few years that you can never predict what's around the corner. Sometimes the most rewarding things come from the most unexpected places. So I say celebrate the unexpected.
(Piano, double bass, vocals, stair case, acoustic guitar)
I recently watched a documentary on Bruce Springsteen who explained that he changed his song writing style early on from writing about himself to making up stories, which gave him endless possibilities. I've always written in a semi-observational way, with my own experiences mixed in with friends, news etc. This song is an attempt to write from imagination rather than experience. Also, it started as the result of a production experiment you can read about here.
Electric Circus
(Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, electric bass, drums, tambourine, vocals, piano)
This song was written on a bus (and in a school class room later that same day) while I was doing some supply teaching to supplement the income. It was summer, and Electric Circus is an actual place (and more specifically a bus stop near Surbiton). It's a straight up, breezy pop love song about leaning on someone when life gets too much.
My friend and long time music collaborator Pauly came over one evening to help with the backing vocals.
So that's all for now, hope you enjoy it!
G
Everybody Loves A Moose!
Well, that's what they say anyway...so you know way back in 2013 when I worked on this series and couldn't show anyone anything because it wasn't being broadcast in this country? Well it's now on YouTube!
The show was incredibly fun and ridiculous to make. There'll be more announcements about the travels of our favourite Moose around the world soon, but for now, enjoy!

Can you actually adjust your own joints?
As with most things in life, there are people who believe that chiropractic adjustments could be a DIY project too. Patients who self manipulate are probably some of the most difficult patients to treat. "Self cracking may be treated with chiropractic manipulation"-says Dr Pamela Leader, MD and DC at EEMC Dubai.
Twisting and contorting your body in such a way as to elicit a "pop" from your spine, most likely doesn't do much for you. When a joint is restricted, the joints above and below work harder to compensate for the lack of movement in the stiff joint. So these joints are moving too much already. To put it in simple terms, the joints that are stiff and hypo mobile are the ones that need the adjustment, when you self manipulate, you could be adjusting the joints around it, and moving the wrong ones.
You are forcing these joints to move even further when you self adjust. This can, over time, cause stretching of the ligaments that support the spine and lead to instability and future problems.
Yes, for a brief moment you might experience some sort of relief…. due to the natural release of a pain-relieving chemical called endorphins. But it's short lived, and unfortunately the actual problem could only get worse, possibly becoming the source of degenerative arthritis.
At the age of 16, Patient A* fell down and suffered a blow to the head/neck area. The patient obviously suffered from trauma to the upper neck joints. It came to the knowledge of our chiropractor that this kid has been adjusting his own neck since the age of 13. Before commencing to treat him, she referred him to get a cervical X-ray first. At the tender age of 17, this young male had already clear signs of arthritis most likely as a result of frequently self-manipulating his neck.
Self-manipulation has the potential to be very unsafe. To say the least, combining this with the fact that it rarely tackles the root of the problem, and almost always makes it worse, performing self-manipulation just doesn't make good sense. That's why we chiropractors visit other chiropractors — just as a surgeon would seek out another surgeon for an operation.
The research that inspired the topic of this article can be found at http://vertebralsubluxation.sharepoint.com/Pages/2013_1175_selfmanipulation.aspx.
If you feel the need to continually crack your neck it back there is probably a chronic blockage in a certain part of your spine. Have it checked by a well-qualified chiropractor and you will obtain real long-term relief.

5 hole-in-the-wall lunch spots worth tracking down
Posted on May 21, 2008 by David Allen
For our annual Living Here magazine, I was asked to write a piece about restaurants and a shorter piece recommending five non-chain eateries.
Alas, the magazine (due out any day now as a DB insert) proved smaller than expected because of lagging ad sales and both my pieces were bumped. Oh, the humanity. So the main piece became today's print column and the sidebar is published below. Waste not, want not.
Note that I spread the five choices around geographically. So while these are not (as Nick Hornby would say) my all-time Top 5 restaurants, they're five that I've patronized multiple times over the years and enjoyed, for one reason or another.
Donahoo's Golden Chicken
1074 N. Garey Ave., Pomona (also 1117 N. Grove Ave., Ontario)
The Donahoo's box lunch is to fried chicken fanciers what the bento box is to Japanese food fans, an all-in-one conglomeration of tastes. The box consists of either two pieces of chicken or six chicken strips, perhaps the Inland Valley's best fried chicken, plus a pile of bland thick-cut fries (crinkle-cut at the Ontario location), a fist-sized roll and a small container of cole slaw. A plastic fork is tucked into a side flap. It's to-go only. If you're at the Pomona location, take your box a few blocks east to Lincoln Park and have yourself a picnic.
Fredy's Tacos
1821 E. Fourth St., Ontario
Located in the Ralphs center at Vineyard and Fourth next to a panaderia, Fredy's serves up small, Mexican-style tacos with plenty of onions and cilantro on corn tortillas. A humble place with mighty food, Fredy's draws laborers, journalists and Ontario police. Dine in and listen to ranchera music from the jukebox or watch a telenovela on the TV.
Angelina's Cafe
9135 Archibald Ave., Rancho Cucamonga
Hidden in a business park, Angelina's proves to be a cozy place with high tables, mustard-colored walls and a welcoming atmosphere. The food, mostly sandwiches and salads, is modest and reliable. There's a daily special to spice things up a bit. I like the old-fashioned spaghetti and meatballs, served in a portion large enough to take home half. The burgers are pretty good, you can get a salmon caesar salad for $8 and they make their own potato chips.
Flo's Cafe
7000 Merrill Ave., Chino, and 5650 Riverside Drive, Chino
Flo's is a down-home place, so popular there are two locations. They have the same menu, meaning that your choice of Flo's can be based on where you are at the moment, either physically or psychologically. Downtown Flo's is slightly downscale Coco's; airport Flo's is old-school coffee shop with airplanes, and sometimes flies, outside. I prefer airport Flo's but I visit the other in a pinch. Whatever you order, even if it's biscuits and gravy at breakfast, only the uninitiated make the mistake of not saving room for the homemade pie, cobbler or pudding.
San Biagio's N.Y. Style Pizza
1263 W. Seventh St., Upland
They have pastas here, baked and served in an aluminum tin, and sandwiches too, but the main event is the pizza. It's made in the New York style, a thin crust topped with tomato sauce and a sprinkling of mozzarella, plus whatever toppings you like (a purist would say none). You can order by the slice or get a whole pie. Slices are thin enough you can fold one in half and pretend you're in Brooklyn, even though you're really in a shopping center in Upland. Owner Biagio Pavia doesn't speak a lot of English but his enthusiasm is contagious. He speaks the universal language: a thumb's up or a high-five, accompanied by a big smile.

Flo's #2 on Riverside Drive in Chino began life as a small drive-thru donut place called JB's Donuts in the late 1970's. JB later added a dining area and became a restaurant called JB's by the early 1980's.
The orginal Flo's at the airport was sold to Paul and Donna Hughes circa the mid 1970s. Hadla and I are having a disagreement as to when they took over the Riverside Drive JB's location. It was either the 1980's or 1990's. Anybody know? Hadla says 1986. I say later.

The only one of these that I've visited is San Biagio's, which I love. They don't take credit cards, but in these days of overspending on credit, maybe that's a good thing.
Jerry Title
My wife and I like both Flo's, but also prefer the Chino airport site. Don't really know why. Maybe it 's the flies???
Also, to my chagrin, what has been missing from our fine Inland Empire now for many years is a Jewish deli. I can't imagine why. There is a large Jewish community here, but ever since Joe Greene died, and Greene's Deli at Holt and Park closed (many years ago now, but can't remember exactly how many), no enterprising member of the community has seen fit to give it a try. Too bad. I think it would be a winner.
[We have a few Italian-style delis but you're right, there's no Jewish deli out here. Thanks for the background on Greene's; I hadn't heard of it. — DA]
Scott in R.C.
I'm guessing we shouldn't question "Hal's" recall on dates and places from the past. As far as Flo's #2, I had breakfast there on November 2, 1991 with my groomsmen on the day of my wedding.
[You're not going to tell us what each of you ordered? — DA]
Groom — Corned beef hash, eggs over easy, biscuits and gravy, coffee and water. Best man — Hot links, poached eggs, biscuits and gravy, coffee. Usher #1 — Ham, eggs over easy, biscuits and gravy, coffee. Usher #2 — Corned beef hash, eggs sunny side up, biscuits and gravy, coffee.
[OK, OK! But I'm disappointed none of you four had pie. — DA]

Greene's Deli had a second location on Foothill in Claremont that stayed in business for a while after the Pomona location closed. Unfortunately that location slowly died too. Greene's is sorely missed.
My "next best" deli isn't a Jewish deli at all but still satisfies my deli cravings quite nicely… Here's a vote for Claro's Italian Market!
Desdave
Am I the only one who thinks the service at Flo's (both spots) is possibly the worst known to man? Everytime I go in there it is like I am from another friggen planet or something. It got so bad I don't go in there anymore.
Maybe it's the 'Steal your Face' sticker on my car?

Donahoo's (Garey location) is hands down the best fried chicken in the I.E — their rolls are to die for too!
First heard of it on a food blog site, then saw Allan Borgen (an I.E. food critic) review it, and had to go. That was two years ago and I go about once every two to three months.
I've been hunting for a cheap, hole in the wall taco/burrito place. Looks like I have to give Fredy's a try.
[Try it, you'll like it (I hope). If not, well, there's no shortage of taqueria alternatives. — DA]
Annie Muss
I only wish Donahoo's would switch from using trans-fatty shortening… so I wouldn't have to feel guilty — so often.
rick freese
As far as taco joints go, I like El Merendero's in La Verne, can't go wrong here. Donahoo's chicken is to die for.
Cafes for me are hard to choose. The staff makes a place what it is. I have eaten at several, but always go back to the Mission Family Restaurant on Mission & White in Pomona.
It needs just a little more upholstery work on the booths, but the food is consistantly good. The staff is polite and on the ball. Not too much more you can ask for, as far as I'm concerned.
[Mission Family will eventually get its own column. It's kind of a dump but I like it, and architecturally, all the "bones" are there for a classic diner. Someday some rich investor will throw a million bucks into the place and it will look amazing. — DA]
Dave, here's my "Hal Linker" impersonation:
Wedding day breakfast @ Flo's Cafe? I'll bet the groom had pie — heh, heh, heh. I'll be here all week.
I can't tell you the dissatisfaction on the faces of the Hollywood folks when they test screened "My Stepmother Is An Alien" out here (perhaps this is when Seth Green developed his Pomona Valley fetish). We sent them to Greene's Deli, I thought they were over towards the Bagelry @ that point? Richard Benjamin liked his sandwich, but it was inconceivable an area this size had only one Jewish deli … I guess with all the ranchers & farmers starting here we focus too much on breakfast 'round here.
Fave in RC
I've been to two of the five: San Biagio's N.Y. Style Pizza and Donahoo's Golden Chicken. Both are to die for! San Biagio's is YUMMY for a Friday night dinner in front of the TV! And Donahoo's, I have to make a special trip to Pomona but I order biscuits for holidays!
A hole in the wall taco place in Rancho Cucamonga is TACO HUT! It is actually a step up from a hole in the wall! It's clean, the service is great and the food is just as good as homemade! It's on Foothill in the Auto Zone center between Hellman and Archibald.
[Been there and liked it. — DA]
Ms. Lois
I ate at the Mission Family only once. I went back to work, got sick, went home & never went back.
[I can see how that would be a turnoff. — DA]
Bob Terry
I have the trifecta for your five spots. Being born and raised in Pomona, Donahoo's was a treat for us in the sixties when Pop had a few extra bucks, even us in South Pomona would venture to the north side once in a while.
Then, living in Chino for 24 years, Flo's at the Airport was where we (numerous wives) would always take out of towners…even saw friends from Escondido who flew in just for breakfast.
Now Angelina's has great food but her catering is out of this world! She is catering my son's wedding next month, full menu, no cheesy buffet, for less than $15 a person. All you wedding planners out there, if there is really such a thing, give her a call.
[Always trust a man who once shook RFK's hand. I mean, twice shook RFK's hand. — DA]
Donahoo's is the place with the big chicken/rooster on the sign, isn't it? That place ROCKS.
[It is, Renee, and it does. — DA]
Hey Dave, try Sergio's in Upland, Foothill/San Antonio, N/E corner. Awesome Mexican food. As good as crummy El Gato Gordo !!
[Given that I was unimpressed (to be polite) with El Gato Gordo, that's not much of a recommendation, Ray. But I'll try it anyway. — DA]
Mission Family Restaurant was originally Hull House. It was clean, great food and only 5 minutes from our house. But my all time breakfast favorite "joints" was Seapy's at Holt & San Antonio and The Big-E-Nuff Cafe on Mission. Wilbur was the owner/chef and had maybe 10-12 seats at the counter. Can anybody confirm my thoughts?
[Big-E-Nuff Cafe? What a great name! — DA]
As a small child, I loved when my parents took us to Seapy's because they had a treasure chest by the register filled with small toys and other trinkets. Children were allowed to choose and keep one toy.
The Big E Nuff Cafe sounds really familiar. There was a tiny cafe on the north side of Mission, just east of Palomares. It was a true greasy spoon to be sure and with counter service only. It was only half as large as another greasy spoon back when – the Apex Cafe on Garey at Third.
Whoops sorry David – didn't mean to slip back to the things that aren't here anymore theme.
A present-day Mexican restaurant that offers excellent Mexican food at a reasonable price is Los Jarritos II on Garey just south of Foothill.
[Los Jarritos II is indeed a treasure. Highly recommended. — DA]
OK Mr. Allen, so El Gato Gordo doesn't get your approval but c'mon, COSTCO Polish Dog is not to your liking ???
[I prefer hot dogs with a casing. Sorry. — DA]
Bonnie MacKay
Does anyone know what happened to Bravo Burgers in San Dimas? A sign on the vacant building said they were moving but I can't find them. Thanks.
[Anyone know? — DA]
Charles Bentley
Yes, the previous Bravo Burgers location in San Dimas is no more. When I inquired about it, I was told that a new location is to come in a brand new building. But that's still a year away! And don't try going to the company Web site for help — it's under construction ("New Site Coming Soon!" it says).
The good news is there is a Bravo Burgers located not far away on White Avenue in Pomona (the NW corner of White & Orange Grove). There's also one in Chino Hills.
We can only hope the new San Dimas location will appear sooner than answers about the old site.
One side comment for David — Your Midwestern roots are a dead giveaway with your penchant for casings on your hot dog. Something to do with the "snap" when you eat them, right? As a good friend of mine once said, "If I want casing, I'll buy luggage. If I want snap, I'll eat a jalapeo." He also said, "Eating a sausage with a thick casing is like eating a tamale still wrapped in a corn husk."
Me? Whether it's a Dodger dog, Coney dog, Louisiana hot link or Maxwell Street Polish (please hold the onions!), I love 'em all.
[Speaking of Midwestern roots, I shoulda said I like washing my hot dog down with a soda pop. — DA]
Burger Meister
The reason Bravo Burgers in San Dimas was the great family that ran it. The one in Pomona is one of many a different owner runs and the quality of the food and what's on the menu shows. I would drive past several burger joints to go to Bravo in San Dimas. The word is they are gonna be opening one on Bonita & Eucla, near Chaparral Lanes, We'll see. Cross your fingers, I've been going to Kosmo's on Foothill. They are OK.
[I'll have to try the Bravo in San Dimas sometime. And what is this Kosmo's of which you speak? I'll hunt it down too. — DA]

Q: How do I use Laravel's chunk to avoid running out of memory? I am pulling around 100k records from temporary tables, doing some slight modification on the data, downloading photos, and then putting the fields I need to keep in a "master" table.  This is quickly causing my app to crash as it runs out of memory.
I read the very brief docs on using chunk() with Laravel's eloquent ORM but do not know how to even begin to implement it in my class.
Here is what I am currently doing:
    public function fire()
{
    // Turn off query logging
    DB::connection()->disableQueryLog();

    $feeds = RetsFeed::where('active','=',1)->get();
    foreach ($feeds as $feed)
    {

        $class = "TempListing{$feed->board}";

        $listings = $class::orderBy('MatrixModifiedDT','desc')->get();

        $listings->each(function($listing) use ($feed) {
            ListingMigrator::migrateListing($listing,$feed);
            echo "Feed: $feed->board\r\n";
            echo "SubcondoName: $listing->SubCondoName\r\n";
            echo "Development: $listing->Development\r\n";
            echo "\r\n";
        });
    }

}

Each feed (or datasource) is dumped into a temp table in a different chore.  That works fine.  Then, I grab all of hte listings out of one table (which is around 30k on average) and run my ListingMigrator method.
Where do I put the chunk in this example?  Would it replace the line:
$listings = $class::orderBy('MatrixModifiedDT','desc')->get();

I don't fully understand the closure in the eloquent docs.  This is all they have to say about it and here's the code example from the Laravel site:
    User::chunk(200, function($users)
{
    foreach ($users as $user)
    {
        //
    }
});

A: The chunk call should replace the get call - it is designed to work on the pre-get() query builder object.
$listings = $class::orderBy('MatrixModifiedDT','desc');

$listings->chunk(200, function($listings) use($feed) {
    $listings->each(function($listing) use ($feed) {
        ListingMigrator::migrateListing($listing,$feed);
        echo "Feed: $feed->board\r\n";
        echo "SubcondoName: $listing->SubCondoName\r\n";
        echo "Development: $listing->Development\r\n";
        echo "\r\n";
    });
});

History- Important places, persons in news
In news: Battle of Chamkaur (1704)
History | Mains Paper 1: Modern Indian History
Prelims level : Battle of Chamkaur
Mains level : NA
The new Punjab CM represents the Assembly constituency of Chamkaur Sahib, which is of significance in Sikh history.
For such history-related topics, one must not forget to note the contemporaries of a particular period.
The Battle of Chamkaur
The coalition forces of Mughals and hill rajas led by Wazir Khan, the Nawab of Sirhind, had laid siege to Anandpur Sahib in the hope of capturing Guru Gobind Singh in May 1704.
After seven months of fighting and heavy losses, the coalition forces offered a safe passage to the Guru and his followers.
The heads of the coalition pledged they would not harm the Guru, his family, or his soldiers.
The peace treaty was sent in the name of Emperor Aurangzeb himself.
But when Gobind Singh and his followers stepped out of the Anandpur Sahib fort on the night of December 20, they were attacked.
Historically, this was where that Guru Gobind Singh lost two of his elder sons in a battle with the coalition forces of Mughals and the hill rajas.
What happened at Chamkaur Sahib?
The Guru, accompanied by panj piaras (the five Sikhs he had initially baptised), his elder sons and around 40 soldiers, regrouped in a fortress-like two-storey house, with high compound walls made of mud.
They were surrounded by an army commandeered by Wazir Khan and Sher Mohammed Khan, the younger brother of Malerkotla's chieftain.
The Guru sent out soldiers in small squads for hand-to-hand combat. Two such attacks were led by his sons, both of whom died fighting.
Three of the panj piaras — Mohkam Singh, Himmat Singh and Sahib Singh — too died fighting.
How did the battle conclude?
When very few soldiers were left, they decided the Guru should leave so that he could carry on his mission.
It was at the Chamkaur fort that panj piaras issued an edict (hukumnama) ordering the Guru to leave.
This was the first edict issued by panj piaras after the formation of the Khalsa on April 13, 1699.
Before leaving, the Guru gave his attire and distinguishing kalgi to Sangat Singh, a Mazhabi Sikh who resembled him.
Three other soldiers too left the fort, and went in separate directions. The following day, the enemy forced their way inside to find only two soldiers who fought till their last breath.
Five days later, Guru Gobind Singh's two younger sons, aged nine and seven, were bricked alive for refusing to convert.

The record in 2011 stated that Donegal was a home of 161,137 people. The historic name of Donegal is Tyrconnell. look at facts about Derbyshire here.
In Ulster, Donegal receives the status as the largest county by area and size. In Ireland, it takes the record as the fourth largest county.
The only county in Republic of Ireland, which shares a small border with Donegal, is County Leitrim. County Fermanagh. County Tyrone and County Londonderry are the counties in Northern Ireland which share larger land border with County Donegal.
The cultural identity of the people who live in Donegal is a little bit different from the rest of the Republic of Ireland due to its geographical isolation. That why, Donegal maintains a famous slogan "Up here it's different" to promote Donegal.
The largest town in Donegal is Letterkenny. There was a record, which stated that it was a home for 19,588 people.

I have two weeks of October Kindergarten Homework now available. (Monthly packet now available) Once all four weeks are completed they will be available as a bundle. I realize many of you prefer the entire month at one time but my crazy schedule has not allowed me to work that far ahead. I keep hoping things will slow down a bit but my house is just as hectic as it was the first week of school.
I have a few pictures to share and I hope to get them posted next week. We have been doing so many fun activities in our class!! I will also take pictures at the Ohio Blogger Meet-Up this weekend....can't wait!!!
Just bought your adorable clipart and I love it! I live in Ohio and have not heard of an Ohio blogger meet-up!?
It's this weekend on Sunday in Columbus. It's not to late to join us!!! Email me and I can give you the info!!

Today is the first day of Microsoft's Ignite 2016 conference, where the firm announced a number of new Office 365 features at its morning keynote. For instance, "Tap" is a new feature for Word and Outlook, that helps you re-use existing content from your organisation in current documents or emails.
Salesforce recently released a competing intelligence productivity service called Salesforce Einstein - a service which may be the driver behind the recent partnership between Microsoft and Adobe. Tap helps users pull data from a centralized source within their organization and use it to finish a task or a project. Users can input a topic that they're creating a presentation for, and using Bing, PowerPoint will deliver a list of templates related to the topic.
Slides will be populated with information from the Bing knowledge graph, and Creative Commons-licensed images from the web.
Other workflows will also be made possible through the Workday-Microsoft integration over time. Raw geographic data will turn into Bing-based maps in Excel.
"It's very common for a customer to say, 'I've selected Workday, and I'm a Microsoft shop, '" said Dan Beck, a senior vice president with Pleasanton, Calif., based Workday.
Some of these smart features are already active and to get the Excel and PowerPoint helpers you need to wait till the end of year.
Here's how the bundle works: you can pay what you want and automatically get the last two of the bundle's twelve courses.
There were also advances on the security front with improvements to Office 365's Advanced Threat Protection, including "URL detonation" which interrogates suspicious links in a secure virtual environment, and "dynamic delivery" allowing for email attachments to be scanned for malware without delaying the associated message. The company intends to seek the help of and convince IT professionals to ensure that digital transformation will optimize business operations and empower customers and employees.
The new UI will resemble the Windows 10 Start menu, in that the app or service icons - Microsoft dubs them "tiles" - can be moved, resized and pinned in place.
