I'm pretty pleased with how many books I managed to read this month! May is going to be pretty busy life-wise but there's also a ton of new releases so I'm hoping I can stay on track!
I genuinely enjoyed this book! While the story is pretty unique, the rest of it isn't anything special in my mind. I am looking forward to the sequel though.
Edit: I wrote this right after I read it but I had NO idea how problematic this book was until I discovered this post . I genuinely feel sick for not noticing. I am in no way excusing myself and I really need to slow down and properly read descriptions.
Beautiful and heart wrenching. However, I found that some of the passages didn't read like poems and their format (a new line for every word) was more distracting than anything else. Definitely still going to buy my own copy (I borrowed from the library) so I can sticky note my favourites!
You can watch my review over here!
The story was intriguing but I felt like there wasn't enough that happened. I wasn't surprised by the twist either. I am curious, and I already have the second book, so I'm going to continue the series.
Did anything even happen in this book?
I don't think it's possible for Ally Carter to write a bad book.
All I'm going to say is that I'm very thankful that book 3 comes out in a few days.
A disappointing and anti-climatic ending.
I read a total of 10 books in April putting my reading challenge at 27 out of 75!

The mixing board formerly housed at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London and used to make records for artists as diverse as Pink Floyd, Kate Bush, and three out of four Beatles was sold at auction on Monday for $1.8 million, Rolling Stone reported yesterday.
The sale—part of a larger collaborative event at auction house Bonhams titled "TCM Presents… Rock and Roll Through the Lense"—far surpassed the house's initial estimate of $700,000. The buyer is unknown.
The desk was used at the studios between 1973 and 1981 and in addition to the aforementioned artists was also deployed on Faith, the third album by British band The Cure. In addition to the console, the lucky buyer will also receive letters of provenance, a documented history of the board, instructions, and even a copy of Dark Side of the Moon, which was recorded using the machine.
The Bonhams rock auction also had up for sale a pair of platform shoes worn by Cher in the 1970s. These two-tone, rhinestone-studded beauties fetched a mere $562, which is a long ways from $1.8 million and a true bargain.

Collaboration between Le Régent College and Le Rosey
At the request of Le Régent Crans Montana College, Le Rosey is to enter into a collaborative project whose objective is to maintain Le Régent's identity while sharing with it Rosey's own expertise and educational values. This coaching relationship is set to continue for a trial period of three years, after which time a closer collaboration between the schools could come into operation.
Le Rosey, founded in 1880 and well known around the world, is one of the oldest and most emblematic of independent schools – schools which defend a profoundly Swiss identity while combining this with an open, international mindset and entrepreneurial family values that focus on the long term. It intends to offer Le Régent new perspectives that will strengthen a school culture rooted in the canton of Valais and its mountains and one that will prepare its students for the future through a unique, inspiring and rigorous educational model.
Le Régent came into being in 2015 thanks to the Lens Commune and those who loved the Haut-Plateau area of Valais and who were determined to offer parents and their families the chance to share the extraordinary experience of living in a landscape of spectacular beauty amongst those with strong community values. An unusual vision in an increasingly standardized world.
This collaboration between Le Rosey and Le Régent is ultimately based on the conviction that a beautiful school in the Swiss mountains can offer children an education that exists nowhere else.

International oil companies remain vital to the growth of Asian oil and gas industry. Asia still requires the injection of profit-driven innovation from international oil companies, sector leaders claim.
Asia needs international oil companies to continue to play a large and essential role in the oil and gas industry's research and development activity, despite the growth of national oil companies, a group of the region's oil and gas industry leaders has stated. The comments were made at an exclusive dinner and round table discussion event to generate research information for a forthcoming Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) report on the outlook for the oil and gas industry in 2012 and beyond, commissioned by GL Noble Denton.
The event, which was held in Singapore to coincide with Singapore International Energy Week, was attended by a mix of senior representatives from international oil companies, technical suppliers and industry associations who offered strong opinions on where the industry is heading and the challenges that await it in the future.
The rise of Asia's national oil companies (NOCs) does not mean international oil companies (IOCs) will be marginalised in the region. State-owned oil companies have played a leading role in developing Asia's growing profile in the international energy market over the past decade. Overall, national oil companies now control about 80% of the world's oil reserves. Research gathered for the EIU 2012 report shows that just 15% of respondents expect to see a more favourable approach to working with international companies from governments and NOCs, a 10% drop on last year's figure. However, according to the energy industry leaders participating in the GL Noble Denton event, Asia will continue to count on global players to provide the innovation that is critical to the safe and efficient exploration of more challenging environments.
The growth of China's oil and gas industry. China's place in the Asian energy market remains difficult to predict, leading the Singapore round-table attendees to offer conflicting opinions on how heavily its neighbours will be impacted by China's growth. Some believed that the rise of China's prominence in the Asian oil and gas industry was likely to have a significant commercial impact on other countries, once issues of quality have been overcome. Others, however, felt that China's interests in oil and gas projects outside of the Asian region will mean its growth was less likely to impact upon other countries in the market.
The Asian energy market is at particular risk of under-resourcing itself over the next decade. Concern over skills shortages in the region reflect similar anxieties across the oil and gas industry. However the rapid growth in energy demand across the region, means the need to address this problem is particularly acute. Sustaining this growth will require unprecedented numbers of oil and gas professionals. Participants at the round table suggested that companies broaden the pool of candidates that they could draw upon by requiring fewer years of technical experience.
"The discussions raised around the tables at this event have confirmed the underlying concerns felt within Asia's oil and gas industry, many of which are linked to the rapid expansion the region is experiencing," said Richard Bailey, GL Noble Denton's Executive Vice President for the Asia Pacific, who hosted the event.
"The Asian oil and gas industry is clearly focused on its future challenges, and the opportunities that lie ahead, and GL Noble Denton continues to support its key players in developing the innovative solutions they need to meet the region's evolving energy demands, " he said.

"My designs might not comply with usual standards, but they come from my imagination and earnestness."
"My name is Sukanya Thongperm, and I was born December 3, 1960 in Ang Thong province. My father passed away when I was child, and then my mother passed away three years ago. I am the second of three children but when I was 10 years old, I was sent to live with some relatives. I was like a daughter to them, so now I feel like I have two families, my biological one and my adoptive one. My second family lived in Bangkok, and I would visit my mother as often as possible.
"I studied primary school in Bangkok, junior high in the province of Prachuap Kriri Khan, and then I returned to Bangkok for vocational college. I then studied and obtained a bachelor's degree in English from Ramkhamhang University. As a student, I worked in a few souvenir shops in hotels, including jewelry shops.
"I am Roman Catholic. I believe in God and that one must do one's best today and everyday. I go to church every Sunday and on special Christian holidays. I work hard at what I do every day of the week and manage to find the time to relax at least two to three times a month. At the end of every year, I usually go to Mae Hong Son province, northern Thailand, on the border with Myanmar. I go with friends to help another friend, who is an evangelist.
"I am single and I live alone in the big city, but I feel lucky to have many friends around me. I never feel lonely and my friends are always by my side, whether I feel happy or sad. Likewise, I am there for them. I think I am a very fortunate woman to have the friends I have made.
"I have always enjoyed designing and decorating, but I had never had the opportunity to study in this field. Nevertheless, time has brought me the opportunity to do the thing I love best. I don't have any formal training in jewelry design or craft, but I love doing it anyway. My designs might not comply with usual standards, but they come from my imagination and earnestness. I think I have talent and I learned a thing or two while working in jewelry shops when I was at university. Besides, I have a passion for all things jewelry! I love to design it and wear it!
"I like to go to jewelry exhibitions for inspiration – I never copy someone else's work. My designs are special and unique, and sometime reflect my customers' taste. For example, the British like simple yet unique pieces, while my American clientele prefers a more a deluxe, modern, and majestic style. My Thai customers like smaller pieces decorated with gemstones. However, I don't adhere to any one particular style. I like variation and while I may pay attention to someone's preferences, I transform them according to my own taste and style.
"My plans for the future include opening my own jewelry boutique, from where I can sell my jewelry collections. It may require a lot of many but I know one day I'll see my wish come true."

Few things take a beating on our bike like our wrists and shoulders. Almost everything you do on the bike requires the upper body to either transfer force into the handlebars or absorb energy from the handlebars, placing a lot of stress and tension on them.
Plus, you have to deal with wrecking. The wrists and shoulders take a lot of impacts from wrecking, meaning most of you reading this have or will have some sort of injury to these areas from hitting the deck.
What this all adds up to is a lot of tight wrists and shoulders. This can show up in a lot of ways, including restricting your movement on the bike as well as neck and/ or elbow pain.
All which can detract from your performance and enjoyment. This means you need something to help you keep those areas moving and feeling their best.
In this video I take you through a 5 minute follow-along mobility routine that can help riders who need to improve their wrist and shoulder mobility. Try using it 3-5 times a week for the next few weeks and see how a little mobility can go a long way on the trail.
As your riding season gets going be sure to make time for your strength and mobility training. Don't let excuses like "I don't have time" keep you from doing the things off the bike that will help you perform and feel better on the bike.
p.s. Want some more follow-along mobility routines specifically designed for mountain biking? With my MTB Mobility Follow-Along Routines you'll get 10+ routines that include routines to help with low back pain, knee pain and even specific skills like cornering.
Each routine is less than 15 minutes long and has its own follow-along video. There's nothing else like it out there for the mountain biker who needs to improve their mobility in a MTB-specific way.
Is mobility training more important than cardio training?
Attention: Riders suffering from nagging aches and pains brought on by poor mobility in the ankles, knees, hips, low back and/ or shoulders. Discover the simple 15 minute Follow-Along routines that will instantly improve your mobility, letting you perform at a higher level with less pain. Just click play on these follow-along videos as I show you how to go beyond stretching to unlock your stiff joints and find a new way to move on your bike.

Six Working Men - Johnny Flynn
Johnny Flynn is an actor, poet, musician and songwriter of extraordinary (but in no way boastful) talent.
Most recently he has played Lady Anne and Viola respectively in Mark Rylance's all-male productions of Richard III and Twelfth Night - long and very successful runs, first at The Globe and then at The Apollo. His band Johnny Flynn and The Sussex Wit released their first album A Larum in 2008, catching the revived interest in folk at just the right moment; their second album, Been Listening, was released in 2010: their third will be released this summer.
Last year Johnny wrote and recorded the soundtrack for off-the-wall American comedy A Bag of Hammers. He'll return to the stage at the Royal Court this May in Bruce Norris's The Low Road, a fable of free market economics and cut-throat capitalism.
In person Johnny is quiet, self effacing, watchful; on stage, something altogether else - and always worth catching. He was born and brought up in Pembrokeshire and now lives in London with his wife Bea and son Gabriel.

Download "A Micromachined 2DOF Nanopositioner with Integrated Capacitive Displacement Sensor"
4 Fig. 2. Fabrication process for the 2DOF nanopositioner. the stage along the X direction against the applied DC voltage. The stage was actuated bi-directionally by applying static voltages ranging from 0 V to 100 V to the driving electrode on either side of the X direction, and the displacement was measured by the PMA under different driving voltages. The stage has a dynamic range from 6.27 μm to μm along the X direction, which falls into the range of AFM scanning applications. A capacitive readout IC (MS110) was chosen for sensing the capacitance change and providing an output voltage proportional to that change. The advantages of MS110 are high resolution, stability, low drift and more importantly adjustable internal balancing capacitors . To minimize the stray capacitance and electromagnetic interference, the MEMS device chip is positioned very close to MS110 chip. Fig. 5 demonstrates the experimental setup for capacitive sensing using the evaluation board MS110BDPC . Pin 4 and Pin 6 supply the capacitance bridge with AC carrier signals which are 100 khz square wave differential signals with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 2.25 V. Pin 5 is kept at 2.25 V DC potential and connected to a common electrode that is the movable part of the MEMS structure. The feedback capacitor of the capacitance transimpedance amplifier, the output buffer gain, and the LPF bandwidth were selected to be pf, 4, and 0.5 khz respectively. At every actuation voltage for the displacement measurement, the output of MS110 (Pin 14) was measured using a digital oscilloscope (Tektronix TDS 024B). Fig. 6 shows the measured sensor output voltage versus the stage displacement. The dynamic behaviour of the 2DOF nanopositioner was characterized using a spectrum analyzer (HP 5670A). Superimposed on a 40 V DC bias, a V sinusoidal actuation signal with different frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 8 khz was applied to the actuator and the output signal reflecting changes in the amplitude of vibration, detected by the capacitive displacement sensor, is sent back to the spectrum analyzer. Fig. 7 presents the frequency response of the fabricated nanopositioner. The first resonance frequency is measured at 4.24 khz, which is 15.5% higher than the simulated first undamped natural frequency of.67 khz. This discrepancy is due to the fabrication imperfections. The phase delay from 10 Hz to 8 khz is 200. Fig.. SEM image of the 2DOF nanopositioner. (a) whole structure; (b) magnified view (center stage). IV. CHARACTERIZATION Accurate characterization of the device is important to verify the design as well as the fabrication quality. Prior to testing, the device was glued and wire-bonded onto a PCB packaging board. The static behaviour of the nanopositioner was measured using a Polytec TM Planar Motion Analyzer (PMA).

We will also learn how to create a camera inside After Effects that moves in exactly the same way as the one we used in Cinema 4D, using something called 'RPF Camera Data'. This is perfect for compositing loads of 2D elements into a 3D scene inside After Effects.
The examples I have used in this tutorial cover the basics. I hope that after reading the tutorial you will be able to expand on it, as it really does open up a lot of possibilities. At the end of this tutorial, you will have a finished motion graphics piece would be ideal for use as an ident.


Marbella on the Spanish Costa del Sol has it all – a beautiful Mediterranean climate, glorious golden beaches, a dizzying array of luxury real estate, plenty of designer shopping, fabulous fine dining and a decadent nightlife to boot. No wonder the uber rich and celebrities from around the globe flock here to enjoy the high life on what must surely be one of the jewels of the Mediterranean.
If you want to join the exclusive Marbella set – whether for short breaks or on a longer term basis – you need to first of all go shopping for some super prime property. Whether you're looking to invest in an exclusive luxury villa in the hills high above the town, perhaps surrounded by the lush greenery of neighbouring golf courses, or prefer a centrally located townhouse, apartment or penthouse with easy access to clubs, bars, shopping and socialising, here are four Marbella hotspots you simply must see.
If you're after opulent glitz and glamour, you simply can't beat Puerto Banús. While the beach here is no less fabulous, it's the picturesque marina built in 1970 by local property developer José Banús, and the large number of super yachts regularly moored here that has cemented the area's reputation as one of the best loved luxury ports in Europe.
Undoubtedly one of the top addresses in the area, Puerto Banús is packed with designer boutiques to rival Paris, including luxury brands Louis Vuitton, Dior, Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci, to mention a few. A stunning selection of high-end restaurants, bars and clubs are regularly attracting the rich and famous from all around the world.
This is the perfect spot for a super prime apartment, exclusive beachfront penthouse or contemporary beachside villa, complete with every conceivable mod con. If you have to ask, you can't afford it.
Running between western Marbella and Puerto Banús is the famous 'Golden Mile' which, for the sticklers among us, is actually 4 miles long. It's a fabulous stretch of silky, sandy beach with a seafront that is best known as the epicentre of the Marbella scene, boasting panoramic views, the super prime real estate and arguably the best nightlife in Europe.
Properties on the Golden Mile are super exclusive and you're bound to encounter the occasional celebrity neighbour here. Along the seafront and set back further towards the Marbella hills are an eclectic selection of palatial villas, large estates and modern mansions, all with private pools and generous, fully landscaped and manicured plots. Money should be no object when you're house hunting on the Golden Mile.
Located north of San Pedro in the hills above Marbella and set in wonderfully remote surroundings, the exclusive estate of La Zagaleta offers exceptional privacy and discretion and surely he ultimate in luxury living.
More than a country club than a neighbourhood, La Zagaleta is a favourite chosen retreat for a wealth of A-list celebrities. Hollywood stars Sean Connery and George Clooney, sports personalities David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane, musicians Rod Stewart and Beyoncé, and Russian president Vladimir Putin are just some of the exclusive residents who have chosen this dreamy location.
The country club itself has a membership policy restricted to residents only, with two golf courses and a luxury clubhouse with pool, library and bowling alley, equestrian facilities, tennis courts and more.
Finally, the comparatively recent development of Nueva Andalucía is situated just west of Marbella and north of Puerto Banús. It's a large, tranquil neighbourhood with a good selection of high quality residential property set in a peaceful atmosphere.
The area is particularly well known for its 'Golf Valley', with the sweeping golfing greens of Los Naranjos, Las Brisas and Aloha being punctuated with stunning Spanish villas including some that are perhaps a tad more affordable than other top addresses. Homes in Nueva Andalucía are well situated to take advantage of nearby designer shopping, a selection of Michelin-starred restaurants and luxurious spas in the area.


The venue of the BEYOND 2020 conference will be the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, Svenska Mässan, the biggest organiser of trade fairs, exhibitions and events in Scandinavia with 100 years of experience.
The Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre is a state of the art and all-inclusive, amazing venue located in the heart of the city. Hotels, restaurants and cafés, parks, culture and shops are conveniently located within walking distance.


Expansion of the Minera Escondida copper mine included constructing a corrugated steel structural plate arch tunnel. The tunnel acts as a buried bridge to carry a haul road over the mine's conveyor system. During construction of the embankment, the tunnel experienced differential settlement along the length and across the span. On behalf of the contractor, SGH evaluated distress in the tunnel structure and its reinforced concrete footings, and designed repairs.
SGH concluded concrete footings and certain tunnel sections would be adequate to resist the intended heavy haul loads and effects of settlement. We recommended a structural liner for remaining tunnel sections and repairs to locally damaged rings. To help the contractor avoid these issues during the construction of future tunnels at the mine, we recommended a process for pre-loading the foundation soil.

Milk protein fractions moderately extend the duration of satiety compared with carbohydrates independently of their digestive kinetics in overweight subjects
Agnès Marsset-Baglieri, Gilles Fromentin, Gheorghe Airinei, Camilla Pedersen, Joëlle Léonil, Julien Piedcoq, Didier Rémond, Robert Benamouzig, Daniel Tomé, Claire Gaudichon

Print publication: 28 August 2014
Digestive kinetics are believed to modulate satiety through the modulation of nutrient delivery. We hypothesised that the duration of satiety could be extended by modulating the kinetics of dietary amino acid delivery in overweight subjects, using snacks containing casein and whey protein. In the present study, eighty-two subjects underwent a first satiety test where they received a control snack containing 60 g maltodextrin. For the next 5 d, the subjects consumed a liquid protein snack containing 30 g carbohydrates and 30 g proteins (casein, whey protein or an equal mix of the two; n 26–28 per group). The subjects then underwent a second satiety test after ingesting the protein snack. The time period elapsing between the snack and request for lunch, food intake at lunch and satiety scores were recorded. A subgroup of twenty-four subjects underwent a digestive and metabolic investigation after ingesting their protein snack. Gastric emptying times were 2·5, 4 and 6 h for whey protein, mix and casein, respectively, displaying different kinetics of appearance of dietary N in plasma but without affecting pancreatic and gastrointestinal hormones. Compared with the control snack, proteins extended the duration of satiety (+17 min, P= 0·02), with no difference between the protein groups. The satiating effect of proteins was greater in subjects who ate their lunch early after the snack (below the median value, i.e. 2 h) at the control test (+32 min, P= 0·001). Energy intake at lunch was not modulated by proteins. The satiating effect of proteins is efficient in overweight subjects, especially when the duration of satiety is short, but independently of their digestive and plasma amino acid kinetics.
Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in the control of food intake by dietary amino acids and proteins

Journal: Nutrition Research Reviews / Volume 25 / Issue 1 / June 2012
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 May 2012, pp. 29-39
The present review summarises current knowledge and recent findings on the modulation of appetite by dietary protein, via both peripheral and central mechanisms. Of the three macronutrients, proteins are recognised as the strongest inhibitor of food intake. The well-recognised poor palatability of proteins is not the principal mechanism explaining the decrease in high-protein (HP) diet intake. Consumption of a HP diet does not induce conditioned food aversion, but rather experience-enhanced satiety. Amino acid consumption is detected by multiple and redundant mechanisms originating from visceral (during digestion) and metabolic (inter-prandial period) sources, recorded both directly and indirectly (mainly vagus-mediated) by the central nervous system (CNS). Peripherally, the satiating effect of dietary proteins appears to be mediated by anorexigenic gut peptides, principally cholecystokinin, glucagon-like peptide-1 and peptide YY. In the CNS, HP diets trigger the activation of noradrenergic and adrenergic neurons in the nucleus of the solitary tract and melanocortin neurons in the arcuate nucleus. Additionally, there is evidence that circulating leucine levels may modulate food intake. Leucine is associated with neural mechanisms involving mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), energy sensors active in the control of energy intake, at least in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. In addition, HP diets inhibit the activation of opioid and GABAergic neurons in the nucleus accumbens, and thus inhibit food intake by reducing the hedonic response to food, presumably because of their low palatability. Future studies should concentrate on studying the adaptation of different neural circuits following the ingestion of protein diets.
The satiety effect of disguised liquid preloads administered acutely and differing only in their nutrient content tended to be weaker for lipids but did not differ between proteins and carbohydrates in human subjects

Whether protein is the macronutrient with the strongest satiety effect remains a matter of debate because of the diversity of study designs employed. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of different liquid preloads made up of proteins, fats or carbohydrates only, under stringently controlled conditions, on satiety. Fifty-six subjects participated in the present study which consisted of four randomised test days, i.e. 1 d per macronutrient and one control day. During each test day, the subjects were required to consume the preload in full, and then their subsequent food intake was measured. The volunteers were divided into two groups: the first (T0) group, which consumed the preload immediately before lunch, and the second (T1) group, which consumed it 1 h beforehand. The main results showed that the participants consumed significantly less at lunch following the consumption of all three preloads than on the no-preload day, and consumed less after the consumption of the carbohydrate preload than after the consumption of the lipid preload. When energy from the preload was included, overall energy intake was significantly greater in all the three preload conditions than in the situation involving no preload, with only partial compensation for preload energy in all conditions. Total daily energy intake was highest after the lipid preload ingestion, but this could be a chance finding since it was not significantly higher than that observed after protein or carbohydrate preload ingestion. No significant effects of the interval between the preload and test meal ingestion were found. These results do not confirm the greater satiety effect of proteins than of carbohydrates, but partially confirm the weaker effect of fats.

Snacking is often regarded as a cause of overweight. However, the main issue is to determine whether the consumption of snacks leads to an increase in energy intake or whether a compensation phenomenon exists and maintains daily energy intake at a constant level. The objective of the present study was to determine whether the repeated consumption of a high-protein, moderate-energy, cheesy snack given as a preload 1 h before a meal altered energy intake at the next meal and then throughout the day, and if this kind of snack was energetically compensated. Normal-weight women (n 27) were recruited for the study. All subjects were healthy non-smokers, aged 18–60 years. The snacks consisted of portions of cheese containing 22 g protein, with an energy value of 836 kJ. Two types of snack were compared, differing in terms of the type of milk proteins they contained: the first contained casein only (CAS), while the second contained a mixture of casein and whey proteins (WHEY+CAS; 2:1). The principal finding of the present study was that the ingestion of the two snacks 1 h before lunch led to energy compensation of 83·1 (sem 9·4) and 67·0 (sem 16·4) % for WHEY+CAS and CAS respectively, at lunch, and 121·6 (sem 36·5) and 142·1 (sem 29·7) % for WHEY+CAS and CAS respectively, regarding the whole-day energy intake. In conclusion, the repeated consumption of a high-protein, moderate-energy, regular cheesy snack should not promote overweight because energy intake appears to be regulated during subsequent meals on the same day.

Q: How do I run my selenium tests with Jenkins/Maven? I set up Jenkins on my local machine running Ubuntu, pointed it at my jdk, and maven, created a job to run my Selenium tests and gave it the path to the pom.xml in the project, but when I try to run the job, it fails right away.  The console output reads

Building in workspace /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/new job
  [new job] $ /usr/share/maven2/bin/mvn -f /pathto/pom.xml -Dtests=firefox_tests.xml -Dreceiver=myemail@myemail.com...You must specify at least one goal or lifecycle phase to perform build steps.  The following list illustrates some commonly used build commands:
  mvn clean Deletes any build output (e.g. class files or JARs).mvn test...

I'm just not sure how to proceed.  How can I get past this error and get my Selenium tests to run with Jenkins and Maven?  Thanks.

A: Have you hooked the selenium test into the Maven lifecycle?
Normally selenium tests would be executed as part of the integration-test phase, which could be configured with a plugin configuration like below in your pom.xml
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-failsafe-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <skip>${skip.selenium.tests}</skip>
        <parallel>none</parallel>
        <threadCount>1</threadCount>
        <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
        <disableXmlReport>true</disableXmlReport>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <id>runSeleniumTests</id>
            <phase>integration-test</phase>
            <goals>
                <goal>integration-test</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

With this added to your pom (and all Selenium dependencies in place), you should be able to run the selenium tests with
mvn clean integration-test

And that is also the command you should specify in your CI server.
Or if it just asks you for goals to execute, choose: 'clean integration-test'

A: According to your error and output, you are running it as:
mvn -f /pathto/pom.xml -Dtests=firefox_tests.xml -Dreceiver=myemail@myemail.com

So, there is no any goal what to build here. How are you running it manually? Probably forgotten to run as "mvn test -f ..." ?

House Judiciary panel to hold April hearing on white nationalism
By John Bowden - 04/03/19 06:16 PM EDT
The House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday that it will hold a hearing next week on hate crimes and white nationalist groups in America.
A statement from the panel, which is chaired by Rep. Jerrold Nadler Jerrold (Jerry) Lewis NadlerTrump knocks Mueller after deal struck for him to testify House Democrats request briefing on Epstein, Acosta Nadler apologized after repeatedly calling Hope Hicks 'Ms. Lewandowski' at hearing MORE (D-N.Y.), confirmed that the hearing is set for Tuesday morning.
"This hearing will examine hate crimes, the impact white nationalist groups have on American communities and the spread of white identity ideology. The hearing will also foster ideas about what social media companies can do to stem white nationalist propaganda and hate speech online," the statement read.
"Social media platforms have served as world-wide conduits to spread vitriolic hate messages into every home and country. The deadly 2017 'Unite the Right' white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, served as a frightening reminder of the current threat white nationalism and hate groups pose to the nation," the committee's press release continued.
Multiple news outlets reported last month that Nadler was planning to summon officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI to answer questions concerning the agency's efforts to counter white nationalism after recent attacks on faith communities.
Last month's deadly shooting at two New Zealand mosques, as well as the October 2018 shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh reignited calls for lawmakers to address white nationalism. President Trump Donald John TrumpPompeo changes staff for Russia meeting after concerns raised about top negotiator's ties: report House unravels with rise of 'Les Enfants Terrible' Ben Carson: Trump is not a racist and his comments were not racist MORE drew sharp criticism after last month's New Zealand mosque shootings for saying he does not see a rise in white nationalism.
The president said last month that attacks such as the New Zealand shootings involved "a small group of people," dismissing questions about far-right rhetoric and his own appearance in the Christchurch shooter's manifesto, which called Trump a "symbol of renewed white identity and common purpose."

Katarina Witt (Staaken, NDK, 1965. december 3. –) kétszeres olimpiai bajnok német műkorcsolyázónő.

Élete

Sportpályafutása

Sok más sikeres keletnémet sportolóval együtt ő is a Karl-Marx-Stadtban működő Gyermek- és Ifjúsági Sportiskolában kezdte pályafutását. 1977-től kezdve Jutta Müller edző vezetésével készült fel a versenyekre. 1982-ben aratta első sikerét, amikor a koppenhágai világbajnokságon ezüstérmet nyert.

1983-ban nyerte élete első Európa-bajnoki címét. 1984-ben vett részt élete első olimpiáján. A szarajevói téli játékokról aranyérmesként térhetett haza, még ebben az évben az NDK polgárai az év sportolójává választották.

A következő olimpiáig hátra lévő négy évben Witt a világ legjobbnak tartott korcsolyázója lett.

Négy év alatt három világbajnoki arany- és egy ezüstérmet gyűjtött be, illetve négyszer állhatott az Európa-bajnoki dobogó legfelső fokára. 1988-ban toronymagas esélyesként érkezett a calgaryi olimpiára, ahol megvédte négy évvel korábbi bajnoki címét. Sikereiért megkapta a Nemzetközi Olimpiai Bizottság kitüntetését, az Olimpiai Rendet is.

1988 törést is jelentett sportkarrierjében. A szocialista országokban szokatlan utat választva 1988-tól profinak szerződött és három évig Észak-Amerikában turnézott. A nyugaton elért sikerek ellenére nem fordított hátat az NDK-nak sem. Továbbra is tagja volt az NDK ifjúsági szervezetének, a Szabad Német Ifjúság (FDJ) vezetőségének, és a szocialista állam reprezentánsaként több rendezvényen is szerepelt. Szerepvállalása ellenére nem élvezte a keletnémet hatóságok bizalmát, a Stasi munkatársai folyamatosan megfigyelték. Profi sportoló lévén már nem indulhatott az 1992-es albertville-i olimpián.

1994-ben sikeresen visszaminősíttette magát amatőr sportolóvá, így rajthoz állhatott a lillehammeri olimpián. A versenyek alatt a közönség kedvence volt, ám az ott elért hetedik hely már az élsporttól való végleges búcsúját jelentette.

A sportkarrier után
Észak-amerikai tartózkodása idején a filmezés iránt is érdeklődni kezdett és itt is kitűnt profizmusával. 1990-ben Emmy-díjat kapott a Carmen a jégen című filmbeli alakításáért. Később feltűnt a nagy sikerű 1998-as Ronin című amerikai-francia akciófilmben is.

1994-ben jelentette meg önéletrajzi kötetét Meine Jahre zwischen Pflicht und Kür címmel.

1998-ban a Playboy magazin német kiadásában szerepelt aktképeivel. A képsorozat viharos sikert hozott az újságnak, amelynek példányszámait Marilyn Monroe szerepeltetése óta először kapkodták el teljesen. 2001-ben újból az újság lapjaira került.

Napjainkban német kereskedelmi televíziók szakkommentátoraként találkozhat vele a közönség. 1991 óta folyamatosan szervez különböző jégrevüket szerte a világban. 2008-ban vett végleg búcsút a jégtánctól.

Katarina Witt a legtöbb volt NDK-sportolóval szemben megőrizte ismertségét és népszerűségét az egyesült Németországban is. Alapítványa mozgáskorlátozottak sportolását támogatja. Rendszeresen nyilatkozik meg a sportot érintő közéleti témákban és az európai társasági élet egyik kedvelt alakjává vált.

Whenever I want to impress, I bake my fail proof chocolate cake. This recipe is my basic recipe with a few extras. The basic recipe is simple, easily adapted and all ingredients go into a food processor or mixing bowl. I guarantee it will rise triumphantly and taste so delicious you will never need another chocolate cake recipe again.
This recipe can be adapted in so many ways, you can simply serve slices of the basic cake recipe with hot fudge sauce and ice cream, whipped cream or slice and fill with chocolate icing and simply dust with icing sugar. I guarantee it is a recipe that will rise every time and won't fail to impress.
Sounds and looks AMAZING. I love Black Forest cake. The stacked cherries on top are beautiful.
Thanks Stephen, this recipe is so simple and always rises amazingly.
Wow, I AM inspired. That is absolutely gorgeous. I;ve never baked anything like it. i wonder if a beginner could do it? Amazing!
Most certainly this is a beginners cake, I am not a great baker but good at anything savory, hence why I use this basic recipe all the time. The extras that make it into a Black Forest cake are simple. You have to try it, seriously if it doesn't rise hugely I will be astounded. Just make sure it is not 'overcooked' so you don't dry it out. I check at an hour and then again 10/15 mins later.
So easy to make Cindy, gosh sorry I have only just seen this comment and I am a bit late to say the least to respond...oops.
I used to use your recipe all the time and I got lots of compliments on the cake :D Have you made a few changes to the recipe? I seem to remember using milk in it. Can I use a cup of milk instead of the yoghurt? If I were to use the yoghurt, can I use the good old Meadow Fresh type that comes in the 2kg tubs? Thanks!

Chuck Robbins sets Cisco up to take off
A look back at what Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins accomplished during his first year leading the company
It's been about a year since Chuck Robbins took over as CEO of Cisco. Following in the footsteps of John Chambers certainly could not have been easy. Chambers was perhaps the most visible, thought-leading CEO in all of technology. Also, he had been at the post for about 20 years, something rare in business today, and had reached quasi celebrity status.
When Robbins took the helm, many customers, analysts and investors asked me whether I thought Robbins would maintain the status quo or shake things up. I didn't know Robbins all that well when he took the job. But Cisco had tremendous success during the Chambers tenure, so the natural assumption was Robbins wouldn't do anything to disrupt what was already working. I thought he might make a few tweaks here and there, but I wasn't expecting big changes.
In hindsight, I was certainly wrong. The first 11 months of Robbins' tenure was anything but status quo. Robbins has indeed shaken things up, and his thumbprint is clearly on the company. Let's take a look back at the past year and see how Cisco got here.
RELATED: 20 highest paid tech CEOs
Cisco has always had a large number of technology partners. Recently, however, the company has taken partnering to a much deeper level. For example, Cisco and Apple recently announced deep integration between the two companies. In late 2015, Cisco and Ericsson announced a technology partnership to build "networks of the future." Another example is Cisco's $100M investment in Inspur.
I've talked to Robbins about the partnerships, and his thesis is that in a world where speed will determine the winners and losers, sometimes partnering allows both companies to move quickly without having to go through the process of a large merger. I fully expect to see more technology partnerships that drive more value for customers.
One of the hallmarks of the Chambers-led Cisco was its ability to innovate and grow through acquisitions. Partnerships work, but sometimes buying the technology is the right thing to do. Robbins has embraced this and has been extremely active with M&A. Below is a list of the acquisitions Cisco has made since Robbins became CEO:
Tropo (Collaboration, Cloud, Programmability)
Piston (Cloud)
Open DNS (Cloud, Security)
Maintenance Net (Business Model)
Pawaa (Software)
Portcullis (Security)
ParStream (Analytics)
Lancope (Security)
1 Mainstream (Cloud video)
Acano (Collaboration)
Jasper (IoT)
CliQr (Cloud)
Leaba (Core)
Syanata (Collaboration)
CloudLock (Cloud, Security)
It's interesting to note that almost all of the acquisitions are in the areas of software, cloud or security, giving Cisco new capabilities to grow in the digital era.
[ Looking to upgrade your career in tech? This comprehensive online course teaches you how. ]
Cisco has alinged itself with the digital age. In May, the company launched a new brand campaign urging its customers to embrace the concept of digital transformation. Cisco's message to the world is that there's never been a better time to transform the business. Do it now before the competition does and gets a leg up on you. To help customers, Cisco unveiled its Digital Network Architecture (DNA), which helps companies use the network to evolve into a digital organization.
The company's recent Tetration product supports digital organizations by providing an unparalleled level of visibility into the network and analytics to gain new insights with the data provided.
Also, Robbins has made a concerted effort to focus more on software and subscription services. While hardware remains Cisco's "secret sauce," the value is being delivered through software. A software-first approach supported by the hardware lets Cisco be more agile and move with digital speeds while being more profitable—a win for customers, resellers and investors of Cisco.
Organizational changes
The Robbins tenure started off with big news with respect to Cisco leadership. On June 1, he issued this blog post, Leadership Transitions for the Digital Age, stating he wanted to position Cisco to better compete in an increasingly digital world. To accomplish that, he would be creating a flatter leadership team that could move with speed.
As part of this transition, he announced that Gary Moore (president and COO) and Rob Lloyd (president of sales and development) would be leaving Cisco. Shortly after, Cisco announced the following executives would also be leaving: Padmasree Warrior (CTO), Wim Elfrink (executive vice president for industry solutions and chief globalization officer) and Edzard Overbeek (senior vice president for services).
Since then, a handful of other Cisco leaders have exited, including Pankaj Patel (executive vice president and chief development officer) and Hanh Tu (president of Cisco China). I'm sure I've missed a few that happened over the past year, but its clear the leadership has changed and Robbins now has the team he wants.
In March of 2016, Robbins re-tooled the engineering organization. As part of the reshuffling of the deck chairs, 18-year Cisco veteran Kelly Ahuja left, and Yvette Kanouff is now the lead on service provider. Zorawar Biri Singh, who is also the company's CTO, now heads up cloud services and platforms. Also, Rowan Trollope was named senior vice president and general manager of IoT and applications, and David Goekler, senior vice president of security, was recently handed the reigns of all network with the departure of the famed MPLS group.
I have spent extensive time with both Goeckler and Trollope and have had some interactions with Singh and Kanouff. Customers should feel comfortable that Cisco engineering, which has been the hallmark of the company for decades, has never been in better hands.
The new leadership team is now composed of the following:
Kevin Bandy, senior vice president, chief digital officer
Ruba Borno, vice president, growth initiatives, and chief of staff to CEO
Chris Dedicoat, executive vice president, worldwide sales
Mark Chandler, senior vice president and general counsel, chief compliance officer
Joe Cozzolino, senior vice president, services
David Goeckeler, senior vice president and general manager, networking and security business
Rebecca Jacoby, senior vice president, operations
Francine Katsoudas, senior vice president and chief people officer
Kelly A. Kramer, executive vice president and chief financial officer
Pankaj Patel, executive vice president and chief development officer (currently on the executive team but announced he will leave the second half of 2016)
Hilton Romanski, senior vice president, chief strategy officer
Zorawar Biri Singh, chief technology officer and senior vice president, cloud services and platforms
Rowan Trollope, senior vice president and general manager, IoT and collaboration technology group
Karen Walker, senior vice president and chief marketing officer
In the past year, I've had the opportunity to talk with Robbins on several occasions. I find him to be very direct and to the point. He's crystal clear that Cisco needs to needs to be more streamlined, and he wants accelerate the speed at which the company operates.
At Cisco's size, becoming lean and agile may seem like a daunting task. Robbins spent time retooling the company. He has his team in place, the products are set, and partnerships have been made. Now it's time to step on the gas and break away from the competition.

T+L Reports: Ferry Good Food
By Travel & Leisure May 20, 2009
Inspired by the artisanal shops and diverse restaurants of San Francisco's just-inaugurated Ferry Building Marketplace, two city hotels have introduced food tours. At the Four Seasons San Francisco (415/633-3636; www.fourseasons.com; tours from $175), an epicurean concierge guides guests through the market, and the W San Francisco (415/777-5300; www.whotels.com; doubles from $499) has a tour led by the hotel's executive chef, Paul Piscopo. Both itineraries culminate in an elaborate feast. Should you venture into the marketplace on your own, there are five spots worth a visit. Celebrity chef Traci Des Jardins concocts Mexican comfort food with a sophisticated twist at Mijita (415/399-0814; dinner for two $20). Try the Niman Ranch pork carnitas wrapped in tortillas. • The high-concept Vietnamese Slanted Door (415/861-8032; dinner for two $65), with unbeatable views of the Bay Area, serves succulent lamb topped with tamarind sauce. • Boulette's Larder (415/399-1155; lunch for two $25) creates French nibbles such as steaming choucroute (cabbage) and hearty pork meatballs. • Cowgirl Creamery (415/362-9354) carefully selects hundreds of regional and international dairy products (wasabi goat cheese disks, Cabrales blue cheeses). • Don't skip confectioner Michael Recchiuti's namesake store (415/834-9494), which sells fine handmade chocolates. His burnt-caramel truffle with bittersweet ganache is sublime.


According to TVLine, Young & Hungry has been renewed by Freeform for a fourth season, though a premiere date has not yet been set.

Parsha Potpourri
Torah Corner
Vayavey es ha'Aron el ha'Mishkan vayasem eis Paroches hamasach vayasech al Aron ha'Eidus ka'asher tzivah Hashem es Moshe (40:21)
In his commentary on our verse, the Baal HaTurim points out that the Torah emphasizes that every aspect of the construction and assembly of the Mishkan was done precisely as Hashem commanded Moshe. In fact, the phrase "as Hashem commanded Moshe" is used 18 times in Parshas Pekudei. As there are no coincidences in the Torah, the Baal HaTurim explains that this number alludes to the 18 blessings recited thrice-daily in the prayers known as Shemoneh Esrei.
I once heard a beautiful and profound insight into the explanation of the Baal HaTurim. Hashem told Moshe (31:1-5) that Betzalel should be in charge of building the Mishkan and its vessels, for He had imbued him with Divine wisdom and with expert artistry and craftsmanship skills. We are accustomed to viewing artists as free-thinking and creative spirits, valuing self-expression over adherence to strict rules and guidelines. As many of the specifications for the Mishkan weren't absolute and even numerous deviations wouldn't invalidate it, one might have expected Betzalel, with his "artistic spirit," to improvise and attempt to "improve" upon Hashem's blueprint. Therefore, the Torah stresses that he followed each and every instruction down to the smallest detail.
Similarly, many people today complain that they feel constrained by the standard text of our daily prayers, which was established almost 2000 years ago. They feel that as our daily needs change, so too should our expression of them. However, based on the Baal HaTurim's comparison of the daily prayers to the construction of the Mishkan and its vessels, we may suggest that on a deeper level, he is hinting to us that we need not feel stifled by the repeated expression of our needs and entreaties using identical phrases, as illustrated by the following story.
A close disciple of Rav Yechezkel Abramsky once mentioned that an acquaintance of his had recently undergone a difficult kidney transplant. Rav Abramsky sighed, feeling the other Jew's pain, and then remarked, "I pray every day that I shouldn't be forced to undergo such a procedure." The surprised student questioned why he made a special point of reciting this unique prayer daily. Rav Abramsky responded that this request is included in the standard wording of Birkas HaMazon, in which we request that we not come to need matnas basar va'dam – gifts of flesh and blood (e.g. transplants).
The student challenged this explanation, as the simple understanding of the words is that we shouldn't need monetary gifts from other humans ("flesh and blood"). Rav Abramsky smiled and explained that the Sages incorporated every need we may have into the text of the standard prayers. Any place we find in which we are able to "read in" a special request we have into the words is also included in the original intention of that prayer.
Just as Betzalel followed Hashem's precise guidelines for the creation of the Mishkan and still found room for creative expression by doing so with his own unique intentions and insights, so too our Sages established the standard wording of the prayers with Divine Inspiration, articulating within them every feeling we may wish to express. Many times, in the midst of a difficult situation, we begin the standard prayers with a heavy heart, only to find a new interpretation of the words which we have recited thousands of times jump out at us. This newfound understanding, which has been there all along waiting for us to discover it in our time of need, is perfectly fit to the sentiments we wish to convey, if we will only open our eyes to see it and use our Sages' foresight to express ourselves.
Ki anan Hashem al ha'Mishkan yomam v'aish tih'yeh laylah bo l'einei kol Beis Yisroel m'chol mas'eihem (40:38)
The book of Shemos concludes by teaching that the Mishkan was covered by Hashem's cloud during the day and by fire at night throughout the travels of the Jews in the wilderness. In his commentary on this verse, Rashi curiously adds that even the times of their encampments are also included in the reference to "their journeys." What lesson is Rashi teaching us?
Rav Moshe Shternbuch suggests that Rashi is symbolically teaching us that there are no interruptions in a person's service of Hashem. Even at the times when one is forced to take a break, the rest doesn't constitute a goal unto itself, but rather a means of renewing one's energy in order to continue with the next journey.
Parshas Pekudei is traditionally read near the end of the yeshiva's winter z'man, as the students prepare to return home for bein ha'zmanim and the Yom Tov of Pesach. As we conclude the book of Shemos, Rashi teaches us the Torah's philosophy regarding this intersession. It shouldn't be viewed as an independent break in the yeshiva calendar, but rather as a link in the chain of personal growth and an opportunity to refresh ourselves in order to return and begin the next z'man with a feeling of enthusiasm and renewal.

Parsha Points to Ponder (and sources which discuss them):
1) In reference to the making of the Tzitz (head-plate) of the Kohen Gadol, the Torah states (39:30) that "they wrote on it 'Holy to Hashem.'" Why was it necessary for multiple people to inscribe a mere two words on the Tzitz? (Moshav Z'keinim, Taam V'Daas)
2) In the special portion which is read as Parshas Shekalim, Rashi writes (30:12) that a census must be conducted by counting the half-shekels which were contributed by each person because it is forbidden to make a head count. The Gemora in Yoma (22b) explains that when it was necessary to count Kohanim in the Temple, the person in charge would count their fingers instead of their heads. As their fingers and heads are all part of the same body, why is counting one forbidden and counting the other permitted? (Shu"t Torah Lishmah 386, M'rafsin Igri)

United States name popularity data is provided by the Social Security Administration and is based on Social Security card applications.
Data for a given year is not made available until well into the next year.
Data reflects what was recorded and has not been edited for errors, so for example the gender associated with a name may be incorrect.
The more babies that are given a particular name, the higher the popularity ranking. If multiple names have the same usage, the tie is broken by assigning popularity rank in alphabetical order. Therefore in the case of names with fewer occurrences, names with the same number of occurrences may have vastly different rankings because they will be interranked alphabetically.
To safeguard privacy, the SSA does not include names with less than 5 occurrences.
Please note, we update the data each May when the SSA releases new figures. All data changes at that time, including previous years, which will change minutely based on new information.


The half-brother of Meghan Markle was busted for driving under the influence in Oregon early Friday, police confirmed.
Thomas Markle Jr., who shares a father with the Duchess of Sussex, was stopped for speeding while driving in Josephine shortly after 1:30 a.m., and the officer determined he was "visibly intoxicated," according to an Oregon State Police report obtained by the Daily News.
Thomas underwent a field sobriety test after being pulled over, and he registered a blood alcohol concentration of .11%. The legal limit for operating a vehicle in Oregon is .08%.
He was taken to a detox center in Grants Pass after being hit with a DUI citation, and his car was towed.
The 52-year-old will have to appear in court at a later date.
The DUI bust comes roughly two years after Thomas was arrested for domestic violence following a dispute with his now-fiancée Darlene Blount, during which he allegedly held a gun up to her head, according to reports at the time.
He and Blount got engaged earlier this week.
Thomas and his famous half-sister are estranged.


I've been to The Handburger twice. Shared a handful of burgers with friends and they were all pretty good, though I won't say they are worth a special trip down- with the exception of their delicious Stuffed Portobello Mushroom burger.
Now if you are vegetarian a mushroom burger on the menu in a hamburger joint is good news. Or if you are a mushroom fanatic (like me) you can start jumping for joy too.
The portobello was the size of my palm, and stuffed generously with a pureed mix of spinach, walnuts, parmesan cheese and beancurd. Tastewise, the flavours that really came through were the spinach, and parmesan, a flavour combination that went superbly well with the mild earthiness of the plump and juicy mushroom. The tangy herbed tomato sauce was the icing atop the cake; provided a nice finish to the whole ensemble.
Feel free to switch your buns for other stuff on the menu. By default it comes with the spinach and parmesan bun which was quite nice really when I tried it. Parmesan wasn't as overwhemingly salty as I thought it would be.
Of my two visits to the seperate THB outlets, I preferred the visit to the one in Raffles City. For whatever reason my burger got a little soggy towards the end when I dined in Somerset313.
They are having a loyalty program now. Darn, if only they started this earlier. Went with a group of people during the first time round which would have earned enough points for a free meal during the second visit!

Q: Stay filtered if already filtered in Jquery If anyone can think of a better title for this, please don't hesitate to change it.
I am quite new to jQuery and have ran into an issue with filtering elements.
I am filtering DIVS with the data- attribute via a checkbox using the change function.
My issue is that if I filter on one data attribute (colour) and I then filter on another attribute (brand) the elements are all hidden. But if I untick one of the filters, the elements pop back up even though they are still filtered by another attribute.
Is there anyway I can stop this from happening?
Here is the code .

Blue

 Red

Colours:
Blue<input type="checkbox" id="BlueCB" checked>
Red<input type="checkbox" id="RedCB" checked>

Brand: Nike <input type="checkbox" id="NikeCB" checked>

To replicate problem, untick the nike checkbox, then untick the blue checkbox and tick again. The element will pop back out, which is the issue.
Here is the JSFIDDLE
This probably doesn't sound like the best explanation, but I have as best as I could.. you will understand after you play with the fiddle.

A: The below code will work for multi brands as well as multi colours, which is done by having a separated filters array for brands and colours, if the filter is checked we add to the corresponding filters array, then finally we check the each div and check whether it has both the brand and colour keywords, if both met we show( * ) it, otherwise we hide( * ) it:
JS Fiddle

var Divs = $('.divs'),
  CheckBoxes = $('.chbx'),
  BlueSelector = $('#BlueCB'),
  RedSelector = $('#RedCB'),
  NikeSelector = $('#NikeCB'),
  Index, Colour, Brand;

CheckBoxes.on("change", function() {
  // Reset filters Arrays
  var ColoursFilters = [],
    BrandsFilters = [];

  // If Blue checkbox is checked, add it to colours array -
  // Otherwise it's unchecked, remove it from the colours array
  if (BlueSelector.is(":checked")) {
    ColoursFilters.push('Blue');
  } else if (BlueSelector.is(":checked") == false) {
    Index = ColoursFilters.indexOf('Blue');
    ColoursFilters.splice(Index, 'Blue');
  }

  // If Red checkbox is checked, add it to colours array -
  // Otherwise it's unchecked, remove it from the colours array
  if (RedSelector.is(":checked")) {
    ColoursFilters.push('Red');
  } else if (RedSelector.is(":checked") == false) {
    Index = ColoursFilters.indexOf('Red');
    ColoursFilters.splice(Index, 'Red');
  }

  // If Nike checkbox is checked, add it to brands array -
  // Otherwise it's unchecked, remove it from the brands array
  if (NikeSelector.is(":checked")) {
    BrandsFilters.push('Nike');
  } else if (NikeSelector.is(":checked") == false) {
    Index = BrandsFilters.indexOf('Red');
    BrandsFilters.splice(Index, 'Blue');
  }

  // Now we check for every colour and every brand -
  // If both conditions met, show the div, else hide it.
  Divs.each(function() {
    Colour = $(this).attr('data-colour');
    Brand = $(this).attr('data-brand');
    if ($.inArray(Colour, ColoursFilters) > -1) {
      if ($.inArray(Brand, BrandsFilters) > -1) {
        $(this).show();
      } else {
        $(this).hide();
      }
    } else {
      $(this).hide();
    }
  })
});

  Blue

  Red

Colours: Blue
<input class="chbx" type="checkbox" id="BlueCB" checked>Red
<input class="chbx" type="checkbox" id="RedCB" checked>

Brand: Nike
<input class="chbx" type="checkbox" id="NikeCB" checked>

EDIT 1:
In case you want to set all checkboxes default state to be unchecked, we create a function checkFilters() having all the logic in and we call it as the page first loads as well as every time one of the checkboxes state is changed, as shown in this JS Fiddle 2.

EDIT 2:
The javascript code still having redundant code and this is only for 3 checkboxes, supposing there are 10 brands and you have 5 colours for each brand then the code would look messy and repeated with more chances for bugs, to make the code more robust, flexible and also much shorter, we add a data-type and data-keyword attributes to every checkbox, and depending on the value of the data-type attribute we return the respective array and push the value of the data-keyword attribute into the corresponding array so it will work no matter how many colours or brands checkboxes there are, just like in this JS Fiddle 3
Input example:
<input class="chbx" type="checkbox" id="BlueCB" data-type="Colours" data-keyword="Blue" checked> Red

JS:
function checkFilters() {
    // Reset filters Arrays
    var ColoursFilters = [],
    BrandsFilters = [];

   CheckBoxes.each(function() {
       var $th = $(this), ArrayType, keyword;

       // Using ternary operator, we return the array that corresponds to the data-type
       ArrayType = $th.attr('data-type') == 'Colours' ? ColoursFilters : BrandsFilters;
       keyword = $th.attr('data-keyword');
       if ($th.is(':checked')) {
           ArrayType.push(keyword);
       } else if ($th.is(":checked") == false) {
           Index = ArrayType.indexOf(keyword);
           ArrayType.splice(Index, keyword);
       }
   });
   // ...
}

* Note that jQuery .show() "is roughly equivalent to calling .css( "display", "block")" while .hide() "is roughly equivalent to calling .css( "display", "none")"

A: A very late addition, but had a momentarily forgotten fiddle open in the background. After a letter of the Forgotten Fiddle action group, I decided to post it after all.
Since the goal seems to be to hide data related to unchecked boxes, rather than show any data for which any data-attribute is checked, you could create a blacklist for which data elements should be hidden.
As well as mentioned in other answers my preference would be to put all meta data in (data)-tags, such as <input type="checkbox" data-type="colour" data-value="Blue" checked>, but rather than keep separate filters, create a combined filter of the elements that should be hidden. Since jquery can easily select on element attributes, the jquery functionality can be used to do the filtering for you.
The idea is that by determining the filters like this, any new data attribute can be added (such as size, which I took the liberty of adding in the fiddle too).
var $boxes = $('input[data-type]'), //all input boxes with data-type attribute
    $dataObjects =$(); //will be filled with all bound data elements
$boxes.each(function(ind, inp){     //create filter information
    var type = inp.dataset.type, value = inp.dataset.value; //for older browsers, use  $(inp).data('type')
  var filter =  'div[data-' + type +'="' + value +'"]';
  inp.dataset.filter = filter;
    $.merge($dataObjects,$(filter));
});

$boxes.change(function(){
    var blacklist = $boxes.filter(function(i,b){return !b.checked})
    .map(function(i,b){return b.dataset.filter}).toArray().join();
  $dataObjects.hide().not(blacklist).show();
});

Fiddle

A: You can use the jQuery to add a data-selected attribute to checked items. I'm assuming the items are not selected by default. By using the attr property on the selected divs, you can add such an attribute. To make sure only filtered selectors appear when you click on the Nike checkbox, you want to add a data attribute to the selector for that check event, turning it into $("div[data-brand=Nike][data-select=true]"). Also, for brevity, you can chain the attr property and the css property together.

var BlueSelector = $('#BlueCB');

BlueSelector.on("change", function(){
if($(this).is(":checked"))
{
var divs = $("div[data-colour=Blue]");
divs.attr('data-select', true).css("display",  "block");
} else
{
var divs = $("div[data-colour=Blue]");
divs.removeAttr('data-select').css("display",  "none");
}
});

var RedSelector = $('#RedCB');

RedSelector.on("change", function(){

{
var divs = $("div[data-colour=Red]");
divs.attr('data-select', true).css("display",  "block");

Blue

Red

Colours:
Blue<input type="checkbox" id="BlueCB" checked>
Red<input type="checkbox" id="RedCB" checked>

Brand: Nike <input type="checkbox" id="NikeCB" checked>

A: Add to your if statements for the color selectors to determine if the Nike box is checked.
If the Nike box isn't checked, I personally would uncheck and disable the color check boxes.
