Signs point to success
Michael Kruse,Times Herald-Record
Players buy into Yankee aura
New York — The signs are everywhere.
There is no substitute for victory
? Gen. Douglas MacArthur
That one, with bright white letters on a dark blue background, leers at the Yankees as they walk through a tunnel lined with mini-golf grass and into the Stadium's home-side dugout.
I want to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee
? Joe DiMaggio
That one? It's in the clubhouse, in the same style and the same typeface, above the door on the way out, as well as in the ground-level lobby when the elevator opens en route to the third-floor press box.
It's all a little much, a litany of largely unnecessary reminders that, yes, the Yankees are the Yankees and everybody else is not.
Yet, the players say, there is, in fact, something to it, the notion that this famous franchise is somehow different.
"Something special," Japanese outfielder Hideki Matsui said through translator Roger Kahlon this week. "It's kind of hard to express."
And not just because of any language barrier.
In the midst of such motto madness, only a week into their Bronx lives, new Yanks Aaron Boone and David Dellucci still are genuflecting at this much-discussed mystique.
Jeff Nelson, meanwhile, following a 2?-season hiatus in Seattle, is waxing reverential about how ecstatic he is to be able to re-embrace it — it, of course, being The Yankee Way.
Meaning the Way in which Steinbrenner and Company trade for Armando Benitez, decide in three weeks that (imagine!) the big guy's unfit for pressure, then ship him and, naturally, cash for Nelson?
That Yankee Way?
"There's just something different about the Yankees," Boone told a dozen or so reporters on Tuesday. "Enough said."
Pulled aside later — a 12-to-1 questioner-to-questionee ratio, after all, usually makes for substandard conversation — he was asked to elaborate: What, really, is this Way, and what makes it singularly Yankee-like?
"Pride, having tradition," the erstwhile Red said. "It's the proudest and the most winning tradition in sports."
True. But that's not a way — let alone a Way — so much as it is a set of record-book realities.
"You have to have a lot of respect for how you approach the game," burly first baseman Jason Giambi said Friday. "And that's because of the history."
"Having respect for the 'NY,' " added Todd Zeile, who's played for nine other teams in his 14-year big-league career. "It's an unspoken, unwritten code."
OK — still, though, what is it?
"It's not a 'what,' " said pitcher Mike Mussina, sitting on the chair in front of his locker, putting down a crossword puzzle, though never, ever straying from his delectably dry demeanor.
"It's just there. It's history. It's mystique. It's expectations. It's style. It's all that stuff."
Also, it's No Long Hair, No Facial Hair, No Giving Away Your Uniform and No Throwing Your Hat Into The Stands (Unless Your Name Is David Wells And You're Peeved At Having Pitched Poorly).
"A lot of people have thoughts of this clubhouse being more than it is," manager Joe Torre said. "We're just here to play baseball."
Sure. And Microsoft just makes some computer stuff.
Players who join the Yankees after starting their careers and establishing their stars elsewhere — that is, most of the high-priced guys here — want to see the plaques out in left-field Monument Park.
And they can't help but ogle the pictures inside, which, like the signs, are unavoidable — black and white and yellowing portraits of the legends of this game.
Like Mickey Mantle, sitting on a bench, wearing that toothy smile, looking like the country-handsome heartthrob he was, kneading his bat with what appears to be a dog bone.
Or the inimitable Joe D, his back to the photographer, gazing out toward the bleachers, the No. 5 centering a strong, elegant, almost regal pose.
Real-time images happen here, too, such as Yogi Berra, in loafers, khakis and a blue blazer, shuffling, from time to time, across the carpeted clubhouse to the Yanks' finely tiled bathroom.
"When you come to this Stadium, this clubhouse, it all kind of hits you," backup catcher John Flaherty said. "It can be a little overwhelming."
Mantle and DiMaggio don't look like baseball players. Even Yogi. Even Yogi today.
They look like Baseball. They look like America. But enough with the sap: They just look good.
Which gets to — Enrique Wilson.
The former Cleveland Indian, now in his third year in the Bronx, says his friends call every once in a while to tell him he looks different in a Yankee uniform.
"You look different," Wilson said, "and you feel different.
"When I was with Cleveland, when we played the Yankees, I had, like, a fear."
Silly?
The goofy Dominican with the Incredible Hulk boxing gloves and the rainbow sack of Toys 'R' Us golf clubs next to the spikes in his locker — well, he raises an interesting point.
What about the dudes not wearing the pinstripes? Do they see The Yankee Way? Do they feel it?
No opponent player will admit that — ever — until, obviously, they become Yanks themselves.
"When this team's playing well, you can tell from the other dugout," said Mussina, who, in the winter of 2000, came to the Bronx from Baltimore. "Things are done a little bit differently."
Different. All right already. But how so? How is it different?
"There's definitely some sort of presence," Flaherty said.
"Boonie" and "Dellooch" are beginning to understand that. But they can't explain it; nor, it seems, can anybody else.
"It's tough to put into words," Flaherty added.
He need not worry.
That's what all the signs are for.


Here are some points of advice for using public WIFI. My first point is to not use public WIFI, there is just so many things that can be done to you, passively that is really really is not a good idea. But for all of you that must, here are 10 points to consider.

Channel 4 News editor calls on industry to build own news platform as he says Facebook now pays nothing to broadcaster
Channel 4 News editor Ben de Pear has called on the news industry to create an alternative to Facebook that will fund publishers, as he revealed the social network is now paying nothing to the broadcaster.
Channel 4 News' own Facebook page has well over 4m likes and it has won awards for its videos, shared on the platform, including reports from filmmaker Waad Al-Kateab on the ground in war-torn Syria.
De Pear told the Drum that Channel 4 News had made a strategic decision to use clips of its video content on Facebook, receiving 2bn views in 2016 alone.
But he repeated his complaint that the revenue income from Facebook in exchange for this content was a fraction of what it cost to create it. Although he said Facebook money was used to expand the broadcaster's digital team.
He told the Drum that Facebook had rejected his request for more "transparency on the money" and that after the broadcaster decided not to use mid-roll adverts in videos, following a change in Facebook's video setup, Channel 4 News was no longer receiving money from the platform.
"I said we couldn't do that, we couldn't have a news report about Aleppo and then have an ad in the middle for Persil Automatic," he said. "We now get no money from Facebook for our content."
Facebook has come under fire after 50m users' data was allegedly harvested by Cambridge Analytica in a bid to target them with political advertising around the US presidential election in 2016 and possibly the Brexit vote.
Channel 4 News was one of three news organisations, including the Observer and New York Times, to expose the scandal. Its reporters went undercover to interview Cambridge Analytica boss Alexander Nix.
The media coverage has resulted in Facebook's share prices plummeting, wiping $67bn from the company's value.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took out full-page adverts in six UK national newspapers on Sunday apologising for what he said had been a "breach of trust".
Cambridge Analytica is under investigation by the Information Commissioner's Office while Zuckerberg has been called to appear before UK MPs and US congress.
Prior to this Facebook had been facing heavy criticism over its role in the proliferation of "fake news", including the dissemination of Russian state-sponsored advertising that may have influenced UK politics, and its failure to take down videos promoting extremism and terrorism.
De Pear told the Drum: "The question we have had over the past year is: is Facebook too toxic a platform to actually appear on as news?
"All the news organisations need to talk to each other and maybe we can come up with a separate platform – I don't know, call it Newsbook? – where we can be funded."
He added: "It's probably unrealistic but should all news be in one place? [A place] where you see a multitude of opinions but where it is verified news and not just made up, like so much of it was on Facebook, and it's run by organisations which care about news and care about the truth, which Facebook has not yet proven they do."
De Pear also echoed calls for Facebook to be regulated and said it had grown too large and powerful.
"Facebook's plan, which was to be the internet all in one place, where you had your friends and personal stuff alongside everything to do with news and entertainment, we can see now it was just too ambitious, too dangerous," he told the Drum.
"Maybe you need to know that where you are reading a news article is not the website or app of a particular news organisation, it's on a platform that is designed for and values news and not just somewhere where Uncle Bertie's 80th is mixed up with Cheryl's hen party and, oh look, there's been a terror attack in Mogadishu."

The assumption that we are unable to locate, discern and judge real from fake news underpins attempts to control the news flow, citing advertisement concerns is the least concern . Channel Four as the BBC show little interest in providing impartial, unbiased reporting. One only has to view the Foreign office approved stance regarding Syria and most recently the poisoning circus to understand what Mr De Pear envisages. All dissent and criticism of the official line is relegated to the conspiracy theory bin. Thank you but no thanks Mr De Pear.

POTTSVILLE — A 10th-grade Pottsville Area High School student was charged by Pottsville police after an incident Monday morning.
Police Chief Richard R. Wojciechowsky said officers were called to the school around 9:30 a.m. after a boy reportedly made a threat to use a firearm in the school.
The chief said officers learned that the boy was in a classroom with other students when he asked if anyone knew where he could get a weapon so that he could shoot up the school and shoot a specific faculty member.
Wojciechowsky said students became upset and reported the statements to school officials, who immediately took the student to a more secure location and called police.
Wojciechowsky said the student admitted to school officials and police that he made the statements but claimed that it was a joke.
Wojciechowsky said Schuylkill County juvenile justice officers met with police and took custody of the student for further action pursuant to their agency's protocol.

The hospital is a beacon of light and hope as we pull in. I barely remember to put my car in park before I jump out and I leave it in the middle of the lane, the tires wrenched haphazardly toward the curb.
"Ma'am, you can't park there," a guy in a security uniform says with his fake badge, but I don't answer. I toss him my keys and push my way to the doors, and that's when I see him.
They've pulled him out of the ambulance, and he's so still, so white. He's got the body of a man and the face of a boy, and he's got vomit in his hair. One hand dangles over the edge of the gurney, orange flecks dripping from his fingers to the floor, but no one notices, no one cares.
"Beck," I breathe, and he doesn't open his eyes. "Beck," I say louder, as loud as I can. His mouth is slack, but he's not dead, he can't be dead because someone is pumping his heart with her fist. She's running next to the gurney, and she's pounding on his heart, making it beat.
"Coming through," she yells at the doors, and there is a team of people working on him. They're frantic, and that's not good.
I chase after them, through the emergency room, through the people, but someone grabs me at a giant set of double-doors, the gateway to the important rooms.
"You can't go in there," a nurse tells me.

Researchers at UC Davis believe the serious damage is being done to Earth, and it's marine life thanks to climate change. The human impact that is being had on Earth and climate change were at the center of a study which revealed just how long and profoundly those impacts could be felt moving forward.
Researchers warned that the damage that is being done today will take thousands of years to recover from, and that those who live today, or their grand children – will not see a recovery plan that can adequately fix the damage that has been done.
Sarah Moffitt of UC Davis' Bodega Marine Laboratory and Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute pointed reiterated the team's findings by pointing out that, the previous 100-year scale that was thought to be a good reference to how climate change was impacting the various ecosystems around the world – isn't as effective as the 1,000-year scale that she believes more accurately does so.
Moffitt isn't alone in that thinking, either, as many scientists around the world have collectively thought that this is a matter of global priority. The damage that is being done is, as she called it, "a gritty reality that we need to face as scientists and people." Simply orchestrating half-effective plans to stop or slow climate change isn't enough. At this point, if we want to avoid damage that isn't significantly worse than what future generations are already going to be facing, then we need to work around better implementations to battle climate change.
It can't be about slowing climate change, but as this study points out – it needs to be about stopping climate change in its tracks – and starting a process that is going to take thousands of years to actually move toward. That might actually be the biggest challenge anyone has faced to date in the climate change discussion.

Paul's Conversion Bible Story Study Guide
On the Road to Damascus Paul Made a Miraculous Turnaround
by Jack Zavada
Jack Zavada is a writer who covers the Bible, theology, and other Christianity topics. He is the author "Hope for Hurting Singles: A Christian Guide to Overcoming Life's Challenges."
Few Bible stories are as thrilling as Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. Through the power of Christ, a man who had been a hate-filled villain became a love-filled hero. By submitting himself completely to Jesus, Paul was able to spread the gospel throughout the known world.
Question for Reflection
The same Jesus who rose from the dead and transformed Paul wants to work in your life too. What could Jesus do through you if you surrendered as Paul did and gave him complete control of your life? Maybe God will call you to work quietly behind the scenes like the little known Ananias, or perhaps you'll reach multitudes like the great Apostle Paul.
The story of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus is told in Acts 9:1-19; Acts 22:6-21; and Acts 26:12-18.
Paul's Road to Damascus Conversion Story Summary
Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee in Jerusalem after the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, swore to wipe out the new Christian church, called The Way. Acts 9:1 says he was "breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples." Saul obtained letters from the high priest, authorizing him to arrest any followers of Jesus in the city of Damascus.
On the Road to Damascus, Saul and his companions were struck down by a blinding light. Saul heard a voice say, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" (Acts 9:4, NIV) When Saul asked who was speaking, the voice replied: "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:5-6, NIV)
Saul was blinded. They led him into Damascus to a man named Judas, on Straight Street. For three days Saul was blind and didn't eat or drink.
Meanwhile, Jesus appeared in a vision to a disciple in Damascus named Ananias and told him to go to Saul. Ananias was afraid because he knew Saul's reputation as a merciless persecutor of the church.
Jesus repeated his command, explaining that Saul was his chosen instrument to deliver the gospel to the Gentiles, their kings, and the people of Israel. So Ananias found Saul at Judas' house, praying for help. Ananias laid his hands on Saul, telling him Jesus had sent him to restore his sight and that Saul might be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He arose and was baptized into the Christian faith. Saul ate, regained his strength, and stayed with the Damascus disciples three days.
After his conversion, Saul changed his name to Paul.
Historical Context
Saul of Tarsus possessed perfect qualifications to be an evangelist: He was versed in Jewish culture and language, his upbringing in Tarsus made him familiar with the Greek language and culture, his training in Jewish theology helped him connect the Old Testament with the gospel, and as a skilled tentmaker he could support himself.
When retelling his conversion later to King Agrippa, Paul said Jesus told him, "It is hard for you to kick against the goads." (Acts 26:14, NIV) A goad was a sharp stick used to control oxen or cattle. Some interpret this as meaning Paul had pangs of conscience when persecuting the church. Others believe Jesus meant that it was futile to try to oppress the church.
Paul's life-changing experience on the Damascus Road led to his baptism and instruction in the Christian faith. He became the most determined of the apostles, suffering brutal physical pain, persecution, and finally, martyrdom. He revealed his secret of enduring a lifetime of hardship for the gospel:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." ( Philippians 4:13, NKJV)
When God brings a person to faith in Jesus Christ, he already knows how he wants to use that person in service to his kingdom. Sometimes people are slow to understand God's plan and may even resist it.
Paul's conversion showed that Jesus himself wanted the gospel message to go to the Gentiles, quashing any argument from the early Jewish Christians that the gospel was only for the Jews.
The men with Saul did not see the risen Jesus, but Saul did. This miraculous message was meant for one person only, Saul. The scales falling from Paul's eyes symbolized a spiritual transformation that allowed him to see the truth. Once he knew the truth about Jesus, there was no going back.
Paul may have been knocked off his horse and struck blind, but in the end, the choice to follow Christ was his own.
Saul witnessed the risen Christ, which fulfilled the qualification of an apostle (Acts 1:21-22). Only those who had seen the risen Christ could testify to his resurrection.
In some ways, Paul's conversion was similar to Jesus' death and resurrection. Paul "died" to his past life of persecuting Christians and was "resurrected" to a new life as a zealous evangelist.
Major Themes and Life Lessons
In one moment of fear, enlightenment, and regret, Saul understood that Jesus was the true Messiah and that he (Saul) had helped murder and imprison innocent people. Despite his previous beliefs as a Pharisee, he now knew the truth about God and was obligated to obey him. Paul's conversion proves that God can call and transform anyone he chooses, even the most hard-hearted.
Jesus did not distinguish between his church and his followers, and himself. Jesus told Saul he had been persecuting him. Anyone who persecutes Christians, or the Christian church, is persecuting Christ himself.
A person's past does not matter to Christ. He is more interested in a person's future. Even though Saul had been one of Jesus' cruelest enemies, he became one of his closest friends. God's forgiveness is full and final.
God often chooses the most unlikely people to accomplish his will. Over and over in the Bible, God picked flawed men and women to help carry out his plan of salvation. The lesson is that the power comes from God; the person is only a vessel.
When God calls a person to a task, he equips that person for it. Paul received the Holy Spirit, along with the truth of the gospel so he could share it with others. Paul could not have achieved his remarkable accomplishments in his own strength. He was empowered by God.

Q: Confusion about Hash Map vs Trie time complexity Let's say we're comparing the time complexity of search function in hashmap vs trie.
On a lot of resources I can find, the time complexities are described as
Hashmap get: O(1)
vs
Trie search: O(k) where k is the length of chars in the string you want to search.
However, I find this a bit confusing. To me, this looks like the sample size "n" is defined differently in the two scenarios.
If we define n as the number of characters, and thus are interested in what's the complexity of this algorithm as the number of characters grow to infinity, wouldn't hashmap get also have a time complexity of O(k) due to its hash function?
On the other hand, if we define n as the number of words in the data structure, wouldn't the time complexity of Trie search also be O(1) since the search of the word doesn't depend on the number of words already stored in the Trie?
In the end, if we're doing an apple to apple comparison of time complexity, it looks to me like the time complexity of Hashmap get and Trie search would be the same.
What am I missing here?

A: Yes, you are absolutely correct.
What you are missing is that statements about an algorithm's complexity can be based on whatever input terms you like.  Outside of school, such statements are made to communicate, and you can make them to communicate whatever you want.
It's important to make sure that you are understood, though, so if there is a chance for confusion about how the n in O(n) is measured, or any assumed constraints on the input (like bounded string size), then you should just specify that explicitly.

• Who uses the Tile Advice Forum?
The majority of posters to the Tile Advice Forum are people who are contemplating, or actually doing, their own tile or stone projects at home. Some of the projects are basic (a small bathroom floor or an entryway), and some are extremely complex (a full tile shower with curving walls, for example). The pros on the forum try to size up each visitor and determine his or her skill level and aptitude. If we think a person is up to the task, we encourage him or her to get with it. If, on the other hand, it seems doubtful a person will be able to achieve satisfactory results in his or her endeavor, it might be suggested that something more basic be attempted.
Our objective is to get the project completed in a "workmanlike" manner. It needs to look good and function properly. We try always to promote methods that are accepted in the building and tile industries.
We also have experts in other crafts, including cement finishing, carpentry (home-building), electrical and plumbing; and a number of the tile pros here are capable in other skills. So we don't mind discussing any aspect of home-building or home maintenance.
Our "engineering department" is usually staffed, although there is no guarantee that will be the case when you post. Our Chief Engineer is in the habit of bugging out and heading to the Caribbean at a moment's notice. :-) We do try, however, to always have someone available to discuss your structural concerns with you. Please remember, we do not guarantee results. Our engineers assume no responsibility for the outcomes of their suggestions. Their advice is freely given, and they must be held free from liability and responsibility.
We have product reps (tech reps) who wander in and out, and that provides us sources for information that might not normally be found around the job site.
A number of people come to the Advice Forum to gain insight into how to hire contractors to work on their homes. Since many of the pros here are self-employed (contractors), we are able to steer folks clear of the many pitfalls that can be encountered when engaging someone to work in your home. People who are building new homes, or having new homes built, often seek advice here.
And then there are people who hang around because they enjoy the social aspects of the site. We are a community of "regulars," and many of the folks who come here for advice on a tile project, for example, end up hanging around long after the project has been completed. So be prepared for trivia and certain threads that seem to go off on tangents. The moderators try not to let it happen too often, but sometimes it just can't be helped.
The regulars are professionals of every sort (heavy on engineers), and there are skilled and semi-skilled laborers (heavy on tile and flooring). There are business folks and entrepreneurs — technicians and salespeople. There are housewives and househusbands. Members live in several different countries with the majority spread across the United States and Canada.
We have several boards here, all of which you are invited to. There are no closed forums.
Come on in, have a seat and make yourself at home. Before you know it, you'll be a "regular," too. If you have not done so, I invite you to read the Forum Rules. Only takes a minute.


Delaware County commissioners have begun examining whether the county should form a transportation improvement district, an umbrella organization that would handle transportation projects across jurisdictional lines.
Commissioners at their May 9 work session heard a presentation from attorneys Steve Tugend and Rusty Schuermann, members of the law firm Kegler, Brown, Hill and Ritter, which provides counsel to TIDs in Clermont, Butler, Warren, Hamilton and Belmont counties.
Commissioner Dennis Stapleton initiated the meeting. He told ThisWeek that he knows Tugend and had spoken with a Clermont County commissioner at a County Commissioners Association of Ohio board meeting.
"My purpose for the whole discussion was to learn more from my end along with the other commissioners about the viability of a TID being an economic tool," he said.
At the meeting, commissioner Tommy Thompson said cooperation among the different county jurisdictions is better now than it was five or 10 years ago. "I think it's going to happen," he said of the prospect of TID implementation.
Stapleton told ThisWeek he's made no judgments about whether it would be a good idea for the county.
"This is just an introduction and nothing more. I am sure many more discussions would need to take place before we would proceed," Stapleton said.
Commissioners would have to pass a resolution to begin a TID and then appoint board members to oversee it. Though membership varies, Tugend told ThisWeek that members can be county commissioners, engineers and administrators; township administrators and trustees; and city representatives.
"This allows for a county to bring in various contributors and to leverage their combined contributions to bring in as many resources as possible to fund transportation projects," Tugend said.
A TID would group transportation projects together in the same area, across jurisdictional boundaries.
The TID board cannot act independently and finance road improvements alone, however. It must have approval from federal, state, county and local entities, said Nancy Burton, communications manager for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 6.
Tugend said that a TID's unified approach would prevent ODOT from having to choose between competing projects in the same county or jurisdiction. Because of the group approach, the TID would also have a larger funding base and be able to provide a bigger local match for projects to get a larger amount of ODOT funding.
While Butler County, the first county to implement a TID, chose a larger board, most TIDs opt to use a smaller system, Schuermann said.
The bigger board includes two members appointed by county commissioners; three members appointed by the most populous municipal corporation in the TID area; two members appointed by the second-most populous municipal corporation; two members appointed by the most populous township; and the county engineer. There is also an option to appoint a member from a township or municipality in the district who isn't a member of one of the other groups. One nonvoting member is appointed by the regional planning commission. All state senators and representatives could be non-voting members.
The smaller board includes five members appointed by the county commissioners. One non-voting member is appointed by the speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, and another non-voting member is appointed by the president of the Ohio Senate.
Counties normally provide more funding because they have larger budgets, Schuermann said. No one is required to contribute, and entities don't have to fund all projects at the same level. Funding strategies vary according to each TID. Individual projects could be funded one at a time, or a revenue pool could fund a program of projects.
Commissioner Ken O'Brien said he chose not to attend the presentation. He said he's interested in whether the TID could be a solution for the county but wants to make sure that the area could financially sustain a TID.
He said the county's attorneys should take the lead on the project and recommend attorneys to speak with. He questioned why attorneys with Kegler, Brown, Hill and Ritter were chosen for the presentation.
"If we are not paying for the attorney, why is it that they're coming?" he questioned. "What is it that's in it for them?"
Stapleton told ThisWeek that he chose the law firm because it had worked with Butler and Clermont counties. The state authorized transportation improvement districts in 1993.
County engineer Chris Bauserman said the county needs to determine if other public entities would be interested in collaborating and if enough multi-jurisdictional projects exist to justify a TID.
"I like the idea of agencies being able to pool their funds and hopefully being able to attract more federal and state funds to Delaware County," Bauserman said. He said he would be concerned about creating another level of government if potential benefits don't justify it.
� Approved five right-of-way acquisitions totaling $28,552 for the Sawmill Parkway extension project. The county has acquired about half of the needed right of way. The total estimated right of way cost is $4.6 million, and the total estimated construction cost is $36 million. The project will extend Sawmill Parkway north from Hyatts Road to U.S. Route 42. Construction could begin as early as 2013 and is funded through county road and bridge revenues.
� Approved a $232,221 preliminary engineering contract for the Lewis Center and Africa roads intersection project. The project will add a traffic signal to the intersection and left turn lanes from every approach and right turn lanes on two of the approaches. Preliminary cost for construction is $1.6-million. Work would start between 2014 and 2015. The county could seek funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission.
� Approved a $92,150 contract for the replacement of two bridges on David Road, east of River Road. Construction will be in 2014 and will take about three months to complete. County road and bridge funds will pay for the project.
� Approved a $36,874 contract with Quickmow for roadside mowing to supplement mowing performed by county crews.

In early 2003 the Museum for African Art presented Ingrid Mwangi's video installation neger don´t call me in an intimate gallery, juxtaposed with 'Facing the Mask', a large-scale exhibition of historical African masks. Mwangi's installation used video projection and sound to reveal personal confrontations with difference and prejudice she faced as a young teenager, when she left her native Kenya to live in Germany. Neger Don't Call Me presents a grid of images of the artist creating abstract masks out of her own dread-locked hair. Her masks refashion traditional African forms as well as masks worn by bank robbers and a range of zoomorphic forms. The installation also included four chairs with built-in speakers emitting the artist's commentary on how living in Germany heightened her awareness of being African. Neger Don't Call Me expresses the fury and refusal surrounding racial classifications that contrasts with her awe and respect for the African images, like those found in 'Facing the Mask'. The poignant juxtaposition of the historical African masks and Mwangi's desire to change perceptions about contemporary Africa highlights the creative context of much of her work.
Mwangi attended the University of Fine Arts Saar, in Saarbrücken, Germany, where she explored graphic design for two years and then changed her major to new artistic media, studying with Ulrike Rosenbach, a renowned German video artist. Rosenbach studied under Joseph Beuys, who encouraged artists to make art (what he called the social plastic) that had social consequence. Using Beuys's methodology, Rosenbach urged Mwangi to experiment with body art and performance, to lift artistic material out of experimentation and illustrate connecting points between self and society. Working with video as an open medium of image and sound, Mwangi began to work with and alter images of her body as a means of collapsing oversimplified narratives of race, gender and sexuality.
In an early suite of video works wild life, neger and masked, Mwangi transformed herself into beastly images that derive from the discriminatory imagination of the West. By turning herself first into a roaring caged animal in Wild Life (1999), then into a minimalistic self-portrait covered with a mask of her own dread-locked hair in Neger (1999) and Masked (2000), Mwangi's videos blend beautiful images with the edge of brutality embedded in racial stereotypes. The success of these works lies in Mwangi's deft ability to critique the consumption of these images while questioning the role of the viewer in identity construction.
While Mwangi could easily have continued to mine creative material from a self-reflexive point of departure, she chose to take on a broader range of issues. Her working method of starting with her body and personal experiences evolved as she began to collaborate with her partner, the German artist Robert Hutter. Together they created to be in the world and see in the light, a powerful pair of video works. Both capture close-up views of individuals responding to violent images shown off-camera. Presenting one individual at a time on a single monitor, To Be in the World documents a range of emotional states. Shot with a digital camera in a dark setting, the footage presents intimate encounters with the viewer's faces lit by the disturbing footage on the source monitor: the use of close-up angles, coupled with audio-bleed from the original material, allows viewers to tap into their own imagination.
Recent works such as dressed like queens and chameleon demonstrate Mwangi's continued desire to break video work conventions. In Dressed Like Queens, Mwangi projected images on to three large, hand-dyed fabrics commissioned in Kenya. The red, brown and green textiles drape down and pool together on the floor, while the video portrays a pregnant woman, flanked on each side by Mwangi. The artist narrates a text about the strength and power of African women as the woman moves majestically through space. Dressed Like Queens represents a reclamation and commemoration of African women that resonates with feminist ideologies of recovery and empowerment.
Mwangi's installation pieces often stir and unsettle emotions by mixing known references and images in controversial contexts. In her most recent installation splayed, three flat-screen monitors present the artist - arms outstretched - formally echoing Jesus on the cross. As the words 'monogamous polygamy' are incised into the artist's forearms, Splayed questions the role of women in complex social systems using the lens to investigate connections between individuals and society. If artists' works are read as responses to their immediate environment, it is clear that Mwangi is exploring the potential and limitations of video as a tool of social change, both in and out of Africa.

Unhappy with Uncertainty? Trust in Christ!
There are two characteristics of the human race that have been blazing through my soul recently, partially because both of them are something my heart has been struggling with. The first is that a vast majority of us are unhappy with uncertainty.
The other is that we are constantly occupied with the future. I would like to say that these are many times very related. Our uncertainness about our own future is a huge source of human discontentedness.
Let's take a look at major areas where we can become consumed with our own futures, and hopefully, it will help to recenter your focus and deal with uncertainty.
All of us have things we are worried about. We have relationships to keep intact. We have jobs to attend to. We have money problems to fray us to the breaking point. We have tragedies and trials and burdens to carry.
There are many things that we can worry about. This worry comes from a fear of the unknown. What if my marriage starts to crumble? What if I don't get my work report done on time? What if we don't have enough money to pay the rent? What if her cancer doesn't go away? Uncertainty is the most stressful feeling.
This is not to say that our worries aren't founded on legitimate concerns. You may be late on your report. You may not be able to find enough money in your budget for the bills. But just because something is legitimized doesn't mean it is justified.
"For this reason, I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
Uncertainty cripples us, but Christ is saying that God is faithful to take care of his children's needs. If we are doing our best, then Christ will cover us in everything else. Now, this doesn't mean that everything will always go well.
Christ also promised hardship. But he will be WITH us. Can you understand how freeing and encouraging that is? You may lose your job, cancer might persist, and you might not get the money you need. But the God of the universe, who crafted everything you see, is beside you and moving in you and around you to draw you closer to him and preserve you in your trial.
Now, Chances are, you've also run into some large disappointment in the last year. This is another area where an uncertainty about life can make us lose sight of our hope in Christ.
It might not have been a life-altering disappointment. It might have been a concert that you really wanted to go to, but at the last second, something more important came up. You've probably been at least a little disappointed even today.
Whether that means not getting the last pop tart, or having to stay up an extra hour to take care of something you had forgotten about.
No matter what it was, most of us don't take these disappointments well. We stew in the what could have been. What SHOULD have been? We get angry and even embittered by the fact we can't have what we assumed we would be able to.
This negative attitude comes from two places. Firstly, from our inability to see the future. You could have never known that something would stop you from going to that concert. So in your head, it was a fixed constant.
It was something that was going to happen and you were genuinely excited about it. It becomes a hope and a desire, that we foster in our hearts. Whereas worry dealt more with a need, desire and disappointment deal with a want.
Second, it comes from an assumption that we deserve or are owed what we believed we could get. You may be working hard, and the thing that got you through all those days was the thought of that concert.
You feel as if you worked for that concert and now it's owed to you. Worry is an over thinking about what we feel we don't deserve, disappointments are when we think too much about what we feel we do deserve.
When we foster these wants we make two critical errors that Jesus warned us about. The first is loving the pleasures, of this world.
If our minds are focused on the pleasures that we could lose or have lost, then our minds are on the things of this world and not the things above.
Secondly, Christ urged us to deny ourselves of worldly pleasures and to take up the cross of sacrifice and hardship in service to the kingdom.
Holding on to our disappointments is completely counter to that call from Christ.
One last problem of uncertainty to consider. Almost everyone plans far ahead into the future. We have a career plan, a dating/marriage plan of some sort, and a retirement plan. We plot out our lives with no knowledge of the future. Now, this can be good and bad. On the one hand, it can be good to have a set goal and purpose.
But on the other very important hand, we can replace our trust in Jesus with these plans. This trust isn't necessarily about worry, although it can be wrapped up in it.
We want a sense of comfort and stability in our lives. We want to know that WE have everything under control. But oh what a lie this is! Since when did we have control of anything?
Since when could we look to our own limited thinking for support? God knows the future. God knows what we need, what will come, and who we should be when we get there. But because we have it all planned out we don't look to God to prepare us for the future.
In fact, our future itself belongs to him. Are we not supposed to do the will of our father? What if suburbia and an early retirement isn't his plan for us? When is the last time we thought about that, Much less prayed about it? And what freedom! To know that our future plans don't stand on how well we can see with a blindfold on. But instead, they stand on the sovereign king who created that future and in whose plan we are meant to subside.
We need to give up our worry, let go of our disappointments and the fear of uncertainty, and push past our plans. God has all of it in his hands. If we have the faith the size of a mustard seed, we can move mountains.
But we need not even do that just yet. Right now, we just need enough faith to let go of our molehills. Earnestly ask God in prayer for this trust, and find a new sense of peace in keeping your mind in and your heart on Christ.

The patterns of elite DevSecOps practices
As DevOps practices are maturing rapidly, organizations with elite DevSecOps programs are automating security earlier in the development lifecycle and managing software supply chains as a critical differentiator to their competitors.
The 6th annual DevSecOps Community Survey of 5,558 IT professionals conducted by Sonatype in partnership with CloudBees, Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute, Signal Sciences, 9th Bit, and Twistlock, revealed that organizations with elite DevSecOps programs are outperforming other enterprises by extreme margins.
Those factors include:
DevOps automation – Elite DevSecOps practices are 350% more likely to have fully integrated and automated security practices across the DevOps pipeline. They also have increased feedback loops that enable security issues to be identified directly from tools.
Open source controls – 62% of respondents with elite programs have an open source governance policy in place where automation improves adhere to it, compared to just 25% of those without DevOps practices.
Container controls – 51% of respondents with elite practices say they leverage automated security products to identify vulnerabilities in containers, while only 16% of those without said the same thing.
Training – Organizations with elite DevSecOps practices are 3x more likely to provide application security training to developers than those organizations without DevOps practices.
Preparedness – 81% of those with elite practices have a cybersecurity response plan in place compared to 62% of those without DevOps practices.
"Forty seven percent (47%) of the organizations we surveyed are deploying to production multiple times a week, while the velocity of their security practices are also increasing", said Derek Weeks, VP and DevOps Advocate at Sonatype.
"The DevSecOps community has shown us that elite organizations are performing significantly less manual work, seamlessly blending security into their developer's world, and are better prepared for remediating security incidents as they arise, when compared to their counterparts without DevOps practices."
Other key findings from the survey:
24% of all respondents suspected or verified a breach related to open source components — representing a 71% increase since Heartbleed made headlines 5 years ago.
50% of elite programs produce a complete software bill of materials that's updated regularly, while only 19% of those without DevOps practices keep this.
Developers continue to believe security is important, but are unable to make it a priority. This is the third year in a row where 48% of respondents admitted that developers feel they don't have the time to spend on this.
Lack of preparedness for many is a top down issue, with 41% of executive level respondents admitting that their company does not follow an open source governance policy.
50% of respondents using cloud infrastructure, noted they simply rely on the service provider to secure their cloud.
28% of respondents admitted they do not protect secrets like passwords, API keys, and certificates.
35% of all respondents said their number one challenge in application security is that they find out about the problem too late in the process.
46% of organizations without a DevOps practices do not have application level credentials encrypted, while 75% of elite DevSecOps practices do.
"Key DevOps principles including: continuous learning via collaboration, automation (CI/CD), infrastructure as code, and monitoring, help ensure effective and timely responses to any breach", said Hasan Yasar, Technical Manager and Adjunct Faculty Member for Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute.
"We must all recognize security is a living thing and organizations should be prepared to prevent and respond to breaches at any moment within their application lifecycle. It is difficult to imagine proper cybersecurity hygiene and sufficient preparations for a breach without DevSecOps in place."


וַיִּקְרְאוּ שְׁמוֹ, עֵשָׂו - They called his name Esav.
The Degel Machaneh Ephraim had almost no chassidim, even though he was a truly righteous and holy individual and a descendant of the Baal Shem Tov. Once he was a guest in Lvov of Rabbi Leib di-Memeles, who was known for his hospitality to strangers. At the same time, a non-religious author was also a guest in the house. This author attempted to insult the Degel, and said to him, "You act like a rebbe, but you don't have any chassidim. I have more admirers than you have."
The Degel answered him, "We are told regarding Esav, 'They called his name Esav,' using the plural form 'they'. On this, Rashi comments, 'All called him that.' On the other hand, in regards to Yaakov, it states, 'and he called his name Yaakov.' On this, Rashi comments, 'Hashem called him Yaakov,' because only Hashem recognized and appreciated Yaakov, while the masses preferred Esav."

Q: how to improve sql INSERT INTO speed <?phph
$Q=mysql_query("SELECT case_number,boxes FROM master");
    while($arr=mysql_fetch_array($Q))

    {

             $s=trim($arr['case_number']);

             $noc=trim($arr['boxes']) ;

             $e=($s+$noc-1);

        for($x=$s;$s<=$e;$s++)
            {

                    mysql_query("INSERT INTO master_break (case_number) VALUES('$s')");

                    $x++;

        }

        }?>

A: One thing you can try to do is inserting in batches. Insert syntax supports something like:
INSERT INTO master_break (case_number) VALUES (123), (456), ...

Try it with increasingly higher batch sizes until you find something that suits you.

A: You can read about this in the manual - particularly, the stuff about insert....select, delayed, multiple row inserts, and disable/enable keys.

A: Insert into master_break(case_number)
(select case_number from master)

If you need only the unique ones, add a DISTINCT:
   Insert into master_break(case_number)
    (select distinct case_number from master)

A: make all your insert in one transaction speed up time significantly.
like
mysql_query('START TRANSACTION', $link);
for ($i = 0; $i < 20; ++$i)
{
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO master_break (case_number) VALUES('$s')", $link);
}
mysql_query('COMMIT', $link);

see in http://www.slideshare.net/jwage/doctrine-2-not-the-same-old-php-orm slide 52

A: Use prepared statements and stuff them all into a transaction. i.e.:
$pdoHandler->beginTransaction();
for (whatever) {
    $query = $pdoHandler->prepare(whatever);
    $query->bindParam(whatever);
    $query->execute();
}
try {
    $pdoHandler->commit();
} catch(PDOException $e) {
    do whatever;
}

That way, you'll be safe from SQL injections too.
