Q: Spring + Hibernate: server receives correct JSON but Hibernate inserts null values I encountered a very annoying problem while realizing a project with Spring + Hibernate on server side, with MySQL as DBMS.
There are two main entities that are involved in this problem, Product and Feedback, connected with a relation One-To-Many (so one product can have some feedbacks, but a feedback can relate only to one product). It's like a classic structure of products with user feedbacks.
This is the implementation in Spring of the two entities:
Product.java
package it.uniroma2.e01.model;

import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EnumType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.MapKeyEnumerated;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import it.uniroma2.e01.constant.Category;
import lombok.Data;

@Entity
@Data
@Table(name = "product")
public class Product {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    @Column(nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String name;

    private String description;

    @Column(nullable = false, length = 1)
    @MapKeyEnumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL)
    private Category category;

    @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.MERGE)
    @JoinColumn(name = "product_user_id", nullable = false)
    private User user;

    @OneToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.DETACH, CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH, CascadeType.REMOVE})
    @JoinTable(name = "product_feedback",
        joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "product_id")},
        inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "feedback_id")}
    )
    private List<Feedback> feedbacks;

    public Product() {}

}

Feedback.java
package it.uniroma2.e01.model;

import java.util.List;

import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EnumType;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.MapKeyEnumerated;
import javax.persistence.OneToMany;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import it.uniroma2.e01.constant.Rating;
import lombok.Data;

@Entity
@Data
@Table(name = "feedback")
public class Feedback {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;

    @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.MERGE)
    @JoinColumn(name = "feedback_user_id", nullable = false)
    private User user;

    @Column(nullable = false, length = 1)
    @MapKeyEnumerated(EnumType.ORDINAL)
    private Rating rating;

    private String text;

    @OneToMany(cascade = {CascadeType.DETACH, CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.REFRESH, CascadeType.REMOVE})
    @JoinTable(name = "feedback_comment",
        joinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "feedback_id")},
        inverseJoinColumns = {@JoinColumn(name = "comment_id")}
    )
    private List<Comment> comments;

    public Feedback() {}

}

When I try to insert a new feedback related to a product updating an existing product what it happens is that Hibernate correctly understand the operation to do, but it tries to insert a feedback with all null values (excepting the id field, that is auto-generating).
For example, I have the following product already in the DB:
Product(
    id=20,
    name=Antipasto misto,
    description=Misto di antipasti,
    category=APPETIZER,
    user=User(
        id=1,
        email=lukinho89@hotmail.it,
        username=Luca,
        password=ciao
    ),
    feedbacks=[]
)

and with a PUT request from client I try to update it. The product object received (in JSON), print on the console on server side, is correctly:
Product(
    id=20,
    name=Antipasto misto,
    description=Misto di antipasti,
    category=APPETIZER,
    user=User(
        id=1,
        email=lukinho89@hotmail.it,
        username=Luca,
        password=ciao
    ),
    feedbacks=[
        Feedback(
            id=null,
            user=User(
                id=1,
                email=lukinho89@hotmail.it,
                username=Luca,
                password=ciao
            ),
            rating=GOOD,
            text=Prova,
            comments=[]
        )
    ]
)

and Hibernate tries correctly to insert the new feedback, but instead of binding the right values it tries to bind all null values, triggering an error. This is the log:
2017-08-23 15:49:24.720 DEBUG 1479 --- [nio-8080-exec-7] org.hibernate.SQL                        : insert into feedback (rating, text, feedback_user_id) values (?, ?, ?)

Rockies 13, Reds 8: Colorado bats explode, bullpen evades
Early firepower leads Rockies past a dismal 8th inning
By Justin Wick@justwick May 13, 2021, 11:33pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: Rockies 13, Reds 8: Colorado bats explode, bullpen evades
As the sun began to set, the Rockies were riding high. Colorado tacked on nothing but runs through several early frames, but some eighth-inning bullpen struggles were enough for the Rockies to warm up the closer after holding a 10-0 lead.
Colorado held on, thanks to a dominant starter performance and a whole lot of hits through the entire lineup.
Cincinnati's Castillo chased early
In his previous three starts, Luis Castillo allowed 11 earned runs in a combined 14 1⁄3 innings. He entered Coors Field this evening with a career-high ERA, FIP and xFIP; tonight's eight runs allowed in 3 2⁄3 innings will do little to lower those figures.
Raimel Tapia led off with a single in the bottom of the first, and damage would quickly surmount. Connor Joe moved up to the second spot in the order and promptly responded with a first-inning double, putting the Rockies on the board within a matter of pitches. A Ryan McMahon fielder's choice and Josh Fuentes homer would give the Rockies a 3-0 lead.
Castillo kept the Rockies off the board in the second and third, but Colorado would plate five more runs in the fourth by way of four consecutive singles (Joe, Charlie Blackmon, McMahon, Fuentes).
Cincinnati's Opening Day starter exited with the Rockies' winning percentage at 98.4.
Everybody hits
Of the 10 Rockies that stepped to the plate, eight of them recorded a hit. Five of them had multi-hit evenings, and both Fuentes and Daza collected three hits of their own.
Fuentes drove in four runs, posting a .768 wOBA on the night with a first-inning homer and singles in both the fourth and sixth. Bud Black placed Fuentes in the fifth spot in the order behind McMahon, and the combo showed for some prime firepower in the middle of the lineup.
Daza helped set the tone for the Rockies in multiple innings; he didn't drive in any runs but he posed a huge challenge as the seventh hitter in the order. Daza reached base as the leadoff hitter in both the second and fifth inning, and also reached with a one-out single in the fourth.
The Rockies had 15 hits on the evening. Seven additional walks by the Reds' pitching staff inflated their pitch count, and it put the Rockies in prime position to take some hacks.
Colorado's Chi Chi deals
Chi Chi González was not strong in his previous start, allowing seven earned runs to the Cardinals in four innings. His return to Coors Field was a favorable one, as he held the Reds to just four hits over seven scoreless frames.
Cincinnati did not send more than four hitters to the plate in any of González's seven innings. The right-hander only recorded two strikeouts on the evening, but a combination of spaced-out hits and a ground ball percentage of 45.5 put González in prime position to have a day. He throw just 88 pitches in his seven innings of work, and allowed a single walk.
Colorado's bullpen does not deal
After a Wednesday doubleheader, the Rockies entered Thursday action with a tired bullpen. González's seven innings proved vital, and it showed when his day was done.
Cincinnati batted around in the 8th inning—and then some. They recorded eight hits and eight earned runs with Lucas Gilbreath, Robert Stephenson and Mychal Givens all tossing a third of an inning. A combined 28 pitches were thrown in the top of the 8th by Colorado arms.
The half-inning lasted over 30 minutes and the Rockies went from holding a 10-0 lead to playing in a 10-8 nailbiter. Cincinnati's Shogo Akiyama, Nick Castellanos, Alex Blandino, Tucker Barnhart and Kyle Farmer recorded singles in the frame, and the Reds further threatened with Tyler Stephenson's two-run homer and a three-run blast by Jonathan India.
Late breathing room: Rockies plate three in the eighth
Yonathan Daza continued his strong day at the plate with a one-out double to right field, scoring Dom Nuñez after the catcher reached on a walk. Alan Trejo would drive in Daza on a sacrifice fly, and pinch hitter Garrett Hampson would surmount the damage with a solo shot to left field.
Bowden closes the door
Colorado had at least some form of bullpen success as Ben Bowden worked a scoreless ninth. Cincinnati went quietly in the night with a groundout, walk and consecutive flyouts. Bowden needed just 10 pitches to cap off a 13-8 win.
The game got ugly—but the Rockies held on.
Cincinnati's Wade Miley threw a no-hitter in his last outing, and the former Diamondback is readily familiar with Coors Field after spending four seasons in the NL West. He threw 114 pitches in his last start and receives some additional rest having last pitched on Friday.
Germán Márquez will look to turn his 5.49 ERA around; he has allowed 13 earned runs in his last 10 2⁄3 innings while eight of them came in a dismal start against San Francisco. Márquez is pitching on standard five-day rest and threw 90 pitches in his last start (6 IP).
Friday's first pitch will again be at 6:40 p.m. MDT. Each team used five pitchers in tonight's contest after using five or more on Wednesday, so Miley and Márquez will play a pivotal role in preserving their team's bullpens.

Peach and Citrus Iced Tea is a wonderful blend of iced tea, peaches, and citrusy fruit juices!
Welcome to the weekend. Yaaay! We made it!
But did you notice how hooooooootttttttt our days are turning out? It's already Summer and we can do nothing to stop it. Turning on the a/c and staying in the room the whole day is absolutely not an option because it will jack up our electric bill. Taking a bath a gazillion time each day will jack up our water bill and will make the person delivering the bill think we built a swimming pool somewhere inside the house.
We can probably take a bath two to three times and— hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
I downloaded Plant Nanny last month to check if I'm getting my recommended daily serving of water. It's a really cute app wherein you water the plants whenever you drink a glass of water. Helps you track if you've drank enough water all throughout the day. Guess what I discovered? I am not drinking enough. Now, I make sure I drink lots of water.
On other news, I cleaned out my cupboard and discovered I had lots of teas! I guess it's just right that I turned them all into iced tea since it's always scorching hot out there.
I made this Peach and Citrus Iced Tea turning the one and only peach in the fridge into syrup and then adding fresh orange, lemon, and lime juice. It's very refreshing… plus caffeine.. Bwahahaaha. (now I sound evil) Helps me inject bits of energy all through out the day.
In a not so related news, Since last night, sis has been bugging me for an Ilocos road trip in May. If our budget permits, then why the hell not, right? Will try to compute how much would it take but I'm really hoping for more rakets this month and the next so we can have a fabulous trip.
I can only imagine how much we're gonna enjoy a food trip in Ilocos!
To Make Iced Tea:Steep your tea bags for 5 minutes in boiled water.
After 5 minutes, remove tea bags and allow to cool to room temperature.
To Make Peach Syrup: Place water sugar and peaches in saucepan over med-high heat until they come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Crush peach slices as you stir to dissolve the sugar.Once the sugar is dissolved turn off the burner, cover, and allow to rest for about 30 minutes. Strain syrup to remove fruit pieces.
Add peach syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice to tea and refrigerate.
Pour over glasses full of ice and garnish with fruit slices.
In any case, summer is definitely on its way and this looks SO good. Pinning for a hot summer day.
Nice! I bet the fragrance of peach will be so lovely. This will be great as a dessert tea after the heavy meal.
This iced tea is just what I need right now. I looks so refreshing! Need to try it.
This is making me crave for some iced tea! I think it's awesome to be able to make this especially during the summer! I am so keeping the recipe!
The photos are great, it makes me thirsty. haha. I will try this soon.
A mixed of different fruits that provide natural goodness, has great taste, nutrients and very filling can give us a real burst of energy level. That is what you called complete satisfaction!
I'm really happy that in your place is almost summer time! I'm going to try it this coming Summer. Saved.
That sounds so refreshing! I drink a lot of iced tea all year round, and one of my favorite flavors is peach. I haven't tried making it myself yet, but I definitely will now!
This looks amazing, I must try this.
This sounds so yummy! You could mix it with soda water to make it like a fizzy drink!
This looks so delicious. I love peach tea so I'm sure I'd love this. Yum.
I make peach tea all the time. It is so refreshing. Everyone in our home loves it.
This looks scrumptious! MY hubby loves tea. Will have to make this for him..
This is our favorite drink. Specially in summer months, this drink has amazing effects on our body. Loved the idea of sharing on the blog.
I don't drink Iced Tea, but this looks amazing. I love peaches. Thanks for sharing. I will have to experiment with different things to make something similar.
Love these amazing pictures! Love a good tasty glass of iced tea. This looks amazing! I bet it tastes awesome. Makes me want to make one now.
Your photos are so awesome Peachy! i love Iced tea and this one looks very refreshing, I will try this one this Sunday.
I do hope you give it a try.


Jetex has its origins with three remarkably enterprising and talented young men, in England in the early part of the twentieth century.
Two of the three were the Wilmot brothers, Charles Mandeville ('Bill') Wilmot and John Wilmot. As schoolboys in the second decade of the century, fired with enthusiasm for the exciting developments in aviation, they produced and sold their own hand-written magazines, The Aeroplane World (above right) and The Aeroplane Monthly.
The third young man, initially working quite separately from the Wilmots, was Joseph Naimé Mansour, a talented model-maker whose craftsmanship had achieved early recognition. He had accepted an invitation to contribute to the most prestigious example of the modelmaker's skill ever created in Britain – the 1:12 scale Queen Mary's Doll's House (right), still today a major attraction at Windsor Castle.
With his moulded fuselage process perfected, Joe Mansour's enterprising spirit turned to a scheme for commercial production. So, in 1931 he advertised in Flight magazine for others to join him in setting up a business to develop and manufacture model aeroplanes. The Wilmot brothers, who meanwhile had been experimenting with fuselage construction from very thin aluminium sheet, responded to Mansour's advertisement.
In what was to prove a typical businesslike move, the trio formed two companies in 1931. One, Wilmot, Mansour & Co., Ltd., held patents which they had been granted, and the other, International Model Aircraft Ltd. (IMA) had the world's largest toy manufacturer, Lines Brothers, as a shareholder (right). IMA was responsible for production, which was eventually conducted in the large Tri-ang factory in Merton. The Tri-ang football field adjoining the IMA factory was to became a model aerodrome, where customers could learn to fly the models coming off the production line.
IMA's initial product was to be an innovative model aeroplane with an aluminium fuselage and paper wings – the FROG Interceptor fighter Mark IV (below right). Not only was the Interceptor unique in its method of construction, but its motive power also showed innovative flair. It was powered by a rubber motor which turned the propeller via a minute Swiss-made gearbox, allowing a smaller, more realistic, propeller to be used. The rubber motor could even be wound up by means of a high-speed geared winder built into the model's box.
Moreover, in an era when the rudimentary appearance of model aeroplanes bore little similarity to contemporary full-size aircraft, the Interceptor stood out with its semi-scale resemblance to the Supermarine Schneider racers. With a propellor speed of 2,700 r.p.m., it was quite the fastest rubber-powered aeroplane to be bought – typically, it travelled 300 feet at a height of 70 feet and a scale speed of 240 mph.
The 'FROG' name came from Joe Mansour, who had coined the acronym from the slogan "First to Rise Off Ground", to express the advantage his papier-mâché models had over the stick-and-silk machines. Later, it came to signify "Flies Right Off Ground". A 'W'and an 'M' were incorporated in the FROG logo (below right). By November 1932, the Wilmots and Mansour had achieved their goal of commercial production with over 800 Interceptors per day being produced.
Taking advantage of Tri-ang's world-wide outlets, the Interceptor was by 1933 being produced in the colours of many different countries, and being built at the rate of 1000 per day. The initial price of 10/6 was reduced to 7/6, and eventually to 5/-. Sales kept climbing, and the original Interceptor model remained in continuous production through till 1940.
Faced with the problem of frequent breakages of the Interceptor's carved wooden propeller, the IMA designers once more showed their inventive flair by moulding the propellers from cellulose acetate. The material proved such a success that most small parts for the FROG flying models were subsequently made from it. Later, it was to have an even bigger role as the material for the FROG Penguin non-flying scale models.
In 1934, IMA's next model was introduced. This was a scale D.H. 80A Puss Moth, made famous by the long distance flights of Amy Johnson, Bert Hinkler, and Jim Mollison. Emboldened by success, in 1935 the company released its most ambitious flying scale model, the Hawker Hart, with three rubber motors geared together, and rigging sprung to minimise damage. However, the production difficulties of this complex model proved costly for IMA.
Not neglecting the ready-to-fly market, IMA also introduced a development of Mansour's original model aeroplane, having a moulded-paper fuselage with balsa wings. Lighter and easier to manufacture than the Interceptor, this was turned out in very large numbers and a variety of types and sold in Woolworth's department stores. More expensive and larger kits, a Spitfire, a Vickers Wellesley bomber and a PV.6 dive bomber, were sold at specialist toy shops. By the end of 1936, IMA had 21 models on the market.
The DMWD also brought Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) into the act, as manufacturers of wrapped cordite charges for engine starter cartridges and thus having suitable facilities for large-scale production of the Wilmot-Mansour rocket motors. Research on a suitable fuel was conducted at ICI's Nobel Division in Ardeer, Scotland. This research was in the hands of a young (30 year old) chemist, Alex Hutchison (below right). His great contribution to the success of Jetex was to invent the fuel itself, the low-temperature, steady-burning fuel that was so different from the earlier nitrocellulose propellants. Hutchison's unique formulation was patented under his name in 1948.
On a parallel track, Joe Mansour was charged with the construction design of a target drone, with four feet wingspan, to be used by Wrens (Women's Royal Navy Service) to teach merchant seamen to 'lay off' when attempting to shoot down enemy aircraft. In due course, because the seamen became very proficient in shooting down this slow-flying aircraft, Joe Mansour's IMA team was asked to develop a faster-flying rocket-powered model. This was of pod-and-boom configuration, with a fuselage of moulded papier-mâché (shades of Joe's first models!) in four sections glued together over a balsa keel and formers with wing and tail of balsa and fabric construction, the whole sprayed bright orange (right).
With their wartime activities entailing a reduced involvement in the management of IMA, Bill Wilmot and Joe Mansour chose to sever their relationship with that company in 1944. (The original trio had been reduced to a duo with the death of John Wilmot in a car accident in 1943.) Their commercial ambitions were now focused on powering model aircraft with smaller rocket motors of the gas-generating type used in their target aircraft. Manufacturing premises were obtained in Bishop's Waltham in Hampshire and five staff were employed. As a name for this enterprise they turned to a company which they had incorporated in 1932 – Wilmot, Mansour & Co., Ltd.
War work also continued, with the two development tracks of Wilmot's towed target gliders and Mansour's powered target drones merging in rural Hampshire as a combined project. Initially, the work was carried on at Marwell Hall, where the estate has been requistioned for a wartime aerodrome, and then at the AFEE site at Beaulieu Aerodrome. Target gliders and rocket-powered craft of various sizes, ranging between 4 ft and 32 ft were designed and tested. At Beaulieu, Wilmot and Mansour had the use of a small hangar in which a Spitfire XVIII was converted into a target tug. The hangar also housed model aircraft which were used to test the model motors developed at the Wilmot Mansour factory in Bishop's Waltham. Research and development on suitable fuel for the motors were conducted at the ICI factory in Scotland.
The two young sons of the CO of the RAF Beaulieu experimental station between 1945 and 1947, Chris and Robin Heath (right), were pressed into service as juvenile 'test pilots' of simple gliders powered by the model motors. As Chris recalls, "they worked very well and on occasions, we had to spend a good deal of time and effort chasing these planes across the heath", with the result that "apparently Wilmot and Mansour decided that if their invention survived the Heath children's handling and mishandling, the Jetex toy was a good idea".
ICI was contracted to manufacture the propellant in quantity. E F H Cosh, visiting the ICI plant in Scotland with other journalists early in 1948, was shown motors of two types. One was a self-contained cartridge (right) of the type depicted in the March 1948 patent. The other type, "for the more advanced modeller", comprised "aluminium alloy jet motors, fitted with a special safety device [and] loaded with a pellet of gas-producing composition". He was able to witness "the 'Jetex' units flying tailless models in gusty weather conditions, and was particularly impressed by their stable performance". He reported that the motors would be "marketed towards the end of May".


That's right boys and girls, end of year bonuses will soon be upon us! Wheeeee!
You can feel the magic in the air and see the twinkle in everyone's eyes because when you're a working stiff like most of us are, receiving a month (or two!) of your salary as a bonus is the thing dreams are made of.
While the impulse would be to spend a huge chunk or all of your bonus to celebrate Christmas, I personally see my upcoming windfalls as the best way to make 2018 easier by allocating majority of it towards debt payment. This year has been financially taxing, but with the careful allocation of this year's bonuses, I can make sure that 2018 will not be as financially difficult and will be the year I shift my efforts from mostly Debt Payment to Security/Safety.


α2-Macroglobulin inhibits all classes of endoproteases by forming a complex with the protease. When the protease cleaves the macroglobulin "bait" sequence, the macroglobulin rearranges and traps the protease. It inhibits bromelain, chymotrypsin, elastase, endoproteinase Arg-C, endoproteinase Glu-C, ficin, papain, plasmin, subtilisin, thermolysin, thrombin, and trypsin. It is known to inhibit neurite outgrowth by blocking the activity of b-nerve growth factor.
Analysis Note Prepared from plasma that was shown to be non-reactive for HBsAg, anti-HCV, anti-HBc, and negative for anti-HIV 1 & 2 by FDA approved tests.
Application Notes α2-Macroglobulin inhibits all classes of endoproteases by forming a complex with the protease. When the protease cleaves the macroglobulin "bait" sequence, the macroglobulin rearranges and traps the protease.

If you're functioning plenty of hrs, making inadequate loan, coping with numerous concerns connected together with your team and employees, or just feeling that utilized in your enterprise is little better in comparison to working, then you definitely most likely need a company Coach.
In our economy, that's the healthiness of numerous business proprietors. It's additionally why greater than 80% of information mill amiss within 5 years, also when operated by smart, vibrant and extremely determined individuals.
The truly amazing factor is the good Company Train could very correctly reduce the void among precisely what individuals believe they have been aware of service additionally to company reality.
Because of the fact so excellent Business Coaches are generalists, rather of company consultants, which have the inclination to obtain experts, or that are usually very acquainted with a particular location or professional within the particular industry.

While an consultant is required to offering step-by-step outcomes (which, for almost any large corporation could indicate millions for the finish-line), a company Coach's results can offer tens or 1000s of dollars in earnings to small companies proprietor (which, for businesses and it is proprietor might be organisation – and existence – altering).

Service training is the greatest plan to this … because strategy to issues are become to and techniques transported in solid-time, while using the Business Train offering to influence the procedure instead of simply writing up research and departing it for the proprietor to complete.
This way, a company Train shares plenty of resemblances obtaining a sports train. Both use methods furthermore to means of lead others to success. In organisation, this takes the type of an effective proper strategic business plan in sports, a method.
An excellent Organisation Train will likewise see each worker as unique, additionally to works while using the owner to uncover extra effective and efficient methods make the most of existing sources to get better outcomes. They'll also encourage, inspire furthermore to check on an entrepreneur to obtain effective, ending up as an "uncommon friend" to attain a goal or result.
This suggestion of liability is important for companies for a lot of factors, that is among precisely why leadership development training is really effective. For several proprietors, operating a business implies "liberty," this means you will be liberating to operate just as one independent proprietor.
But real versatility is just acquired after business has truly be considered a company furthermore to lucrative venture that is able to run with no proprietor being literally existing operating a company.
In big firms, this volume of accountability is supplied getting a board of company company company directors. In the organization, the actual jump on his/her. Not just could a company Train provide a "appearing board" for brand-new additionally to existing efforts, they supports the master to understanding the sorts of business, creating furthermore to offering on 90-day plans, and testing additionally to calculating marketing efforts – from elevated lead to greater revenue margins.
1) As being a proprietor, are you currently presently presently coachable – or at best thrilled to learn? While you'd be the greatest choice in the service, you need to to happily be coachable, furthermore to need to alter. That signifies acknowledging you don't have any idea whatever, and also accept the factor your business runs the strategies by that's does is due to precisely what you presently understand and just all you have really recently been doing.
Does your potential Service Train contain the appropriate devices furthermore to systems to develop a business? Generally, you have to sense prone to excellent personality complement your train. The trainer must furthermore have a very systemized tool box of approaches furthermore to techniques proven to actually grow something. They have to likewise ask good concerns about your company that is concerns, since great queries – combined with the techniques to individuals concerns – will be in the middle in the helpful coaching partnership.
3) Could be the firm society suitable for mentoring? Business mentoring functions very best in an environment that isn't excessively political – since individuals types of companies penalize achievement and success. What type of business have you got? Realize that society starts on the top, together with your determination to change means departing rejection concerning the way the firm is actually run. That's essential, since in case you take proper proper care of a very political business culture furthermore to desire it transformed – it'll certainly – most likely earlier than you may consider.
4) Do you want to measure your Return on investment in relation to cash furthermore to time? From your organisation training perspective, both ideal metrics of Return on investment are success additionally to time invested really operating in your service. Why?

Line-up: JAMES TAYLOR Hammond & vocals; MARK COX guitar; ANDREW MCKINNEY bass; PAT ILLINGWORTH drums
For a over 30 years, the James Taylor Quartet have set the standard for the coolest sounds in funky acid jazz. On dozens of mighty albums and at their legendary gigs at home and around the world, they've quietly become a byword for distinguished British creativity.
The James Taylor Quartet's first single, "Blow-Up" (a funked-up version of Herbie Hancock's main theme from the seminal 1960s film of the same name), was released in 1987 on the Re Elect The President label, which would later become the Acid Jazz label. The track was championed by the NME and John Peel, appearing in Peel's Festive Fifty chart for 1987. The band's debut 7 track mini album, Mission Impossible (1987) followed and predominantly comprised covers of 1960s film themes such as "Alfie", "Mrs. Robinson" and "Goldfinger" in a rough, up-tempo, almost punk-like style, that was primarily focussed on Taylor's Hammond organ playing. Their second album, The Money Spyder (1987), was the soundtrack to an imaginary spy film, applying the band's distinctive style to Taylor's own compositions.
While promoting these albums The James Taylor Quartet developed a strong reputation as a live band, that remains to this day. The live set focuses on accessible rhythm driven music, that some classify as having elements of modern dance music, despite including a lot of improvised solos. During this period a contract with a major record led to them playing to ever increasing audiences. The band recorded their signature tune "The Theme From Starsky and Hutch" featuring Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis of The JBs in 1988 and this was included on their next album "Wait A Minute" (1988). Their popularity as a live act led to the release of the live album Absolute – JTQ Live in 1991, which attempted to capture the experience of the band in concert (even though it was recorded 'live' in the studio, the audience cheering being overdubbed later).

Q: Calling a Java SOAP Web Service by WCF Client I am calling a Java SOAP web service using WCF client (and Service Reference approach) - I am getting the following exception while trying to create an instance of the service client:
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'name of the service'
in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration
file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract
could be found in the client element.

Very little has been generated in the web config:

    </system.serviceModel>

I also tried Service Reference=> Adnanced=>Web Reference which failed with:
{"Unable to connect to the remote server"}

Is Service Reference a cul-de-sac route when calling non-WCF web services or how do I get it working otherwise?

A: Can you call the WSDL (http://....?wsdl) inside the browser? The WSDL file is the contract how describe, what the web service provide (method with parameter and return value), and on which way you get access to the service. - http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl

Q: How to determine what protocol a printer uses I'm trying to determine what printing protocol a network printer expects (ipp, http, etc). I've got the hostname and IP address of the printer, and access to a cygwin bash shell and powershell. How do I determine what protocol it's actually using? There's no print server between my machine and the printer as far as I know (but would appreciate tips on how to verify this).

A: You can use a tool like NMAP to perform a port scan of the printer's IP address, to see which ports it is listening for connections on. This will likely give away which protocol it is using, as these will almost certainly be left at the default. For example, port 515 would suggest LPR, and port 9100 would suggest HP JetDirect.
To perform the port scan of the printer with nmap, you can use the following syntax:
nmap -sS 192.168.0.101

Where 192.168.0.101 is the IP of the printer.
This will give you a list of ports that have been found open. Here's a scan I just did against a Sharp printer in the office:
C:\Scripts>nmap -sS 192.168.65.115

Starting Nmap 6.47 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-12-19 11:56 GMT Standard Time
Nmap scan report for 192.168.65.115
Host is up (0.36s latency).
Not shown: 991 closed ports
PORT      STATE SERVICE
21/tcp    open  ftp
23/tcp    open  telnet
80/tcp    open  http
443/tcp   open  https
515/tcp   open  printer
631/tcp   open  ipp
5900/tcp  open  vnc
9100/tcp  open  jetdirect
50001/tcp open  unknown
MAC Address: 78:1C:5A:22:83:70 (Sharp)

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 12.05 seconds

So here we can see that it is listening for connections on both 515 (LPR) and 9100 (JetDirect). There's also port 631, which is Internet Printing Protocol.
I don't know what port 50001/tcp is supposed to be doing, and apparently neither does NMAP (it shows the service as unknown). So after a brief Google, I have consulted the manual, and found it is the default administration/management interface, used by the proprietary admin tools to manage the printer.
So, we know that this printer supports not just one, but several printing protocols - and these are just the ones that are enabled on the printer. I could have probably learned all this much more quickly if I'd just read the vendor's specs, but it might not have been as much fun.
If your printer shows other ports, you might be able to look them up at IANA's registry of assigned ports, or elsewhere.
You don't have to use NMAP, there are other port scanners available, if you prefer.

A: The simplest way is to read the type of the printer and search it on internet. If the printer has a display, you may find out its IP address using its system menu.


German poet, author and critic Heinrich Heine (1797–1856) was an important figure in the Romantic movement. His writings had a profound impact on music and ballet, most famously in numerous Lieder, Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli's ballet Giselle and Wagner's opera Der fliegende Holländer.
Heine was born in Düsseldorf and studied there at the Lyzeum before moving to Hamburg in 1816 to work in his uncle's banking office. He briefly studied in Bonn and Göttingen before living in Berlin 1821–3, where he published Gedichte and Tragödien. He completed his law studies in Göttingen in 1825 and found widespread fame in 1827 with the publication of Buch der Lieder. He moved to Paris in 1831 and lived there for the rest of his life, working as a foreign correspondent and also writing for French publications on a wide range of subjects. His writings include the poetry collections included Lyrisches Intermezzo, Die Heimkehr, Die Nordsee and Neue Gedichte, the play William Ratcliff and the essay collections Der Salon.
Heine's poetry inspired Schumann's Dichterliebe and part of Schubert's Schwanengesang, in addition to numerous lieder by composers including Mendelssohn, Liszt, Brahms, Wolf, Grieg, Richard Strauss and Berg. His play William Ratcliff was adapted for opera by composers including Cui and Mascagni.

It's about time! I thought it was dumb that they waited this long. This is a win for me, since I don't have many holes in my nail polish collection but I am a fan of Julep's skincare and nail care. I will wind up taking a box more often because of it.
Can someone who's had My Maven for a while verify how it works for those of us who have watched from the sidelines? Is there a limit to which products you can sub into your box? Like, could I go crazy and do three bottles of Rethink Your Shower if I wanted while still keeping the original price?
Glad you have decided to join in on the Julep fun @@lamplighter! I've been with Julep since almost day one but then cancelled and started back up again about a year go. I've only skipped a few times. I just think for the price it's a great value. I like their skin care and make up too. My last box was two nail polishes and an eye shadow. Before that my boxes included add-ons. You can add on how ever many products you want on top of your features box and most of them are at discount so it's really hard not to go overboard with the add-ons especially since you get an extra gift if you add-on 3 items or more. You can modify the box to just include nail polishes but not sure if you can pick 3 of the same colors. I've never tried to do that. Hopefully someone knows.
When I signed back up I didn't upgrade to the option of changing the box either. I got frustrated after a few months and figured it was worth the extra cost because I've been able to make the boxes exactly how I want them. So much better this way.

'The Right to Swim' re-imagines St. Pete's Black history in vibrant gallery
Images courtesy Vivia Barron
St. Pete artist Vivia Barron is bringing her vibrant, inspiring, and at times heartbreaking show to The Studio @ 620. "The Right to Swim" is a collection of paintings by Barron that reimagines vintage St. Pete postcards and photographs with the one thing they were missing – people of color.
The gallery is on display at The Studio @ 620 (620 1st Avenue South) from August 6-28, including this Saturday's opening reception from 6-9 pm. The public can also view the gallery during the Second Saturday Art Walk on August 13 from 5-9 pm. Both viewings are free to attend, and additional gallery hours are available by appointment.
Barron has become known as a collector of vintage St. Pete postcards and photographs, and she is loved for her portrayal of the Black experience through her bold and colorful acrylic paintings. The Right to Swim combines those passions, directly addressing the pains of the past caused by segregation and discrimination, while also offering hope for today's brighter and more inclusive St. Pete.
Her work is meant to inspire all, to retell forgotten histories, and to give the Black and Brown people of St. Pete a sense of belonging in the city's lore.
Photo courtesy Vivia Barron
"My work doesn't just tell the story of St. Petersburg; it analyzes and tells the story of Black and Brown people who deserve to have their memories materialized in art forever," Barron said. "I paint these people without faces, but you can see their emotion in the electric togetherness of the setting."
The Right to Swim was most recently on display at the Carter G. Woodson African-American Museum. Learn more about the gallery, and Barron herself, at viviabarron.com.

Blake Griffin added 20 points, DeAndre Jordan 18 and Mo Williams 14 in the Clippers' third straight win and 11th in their last 13 games. They are also chasing the idle Lakers for the third seed in the Western Conference with six games remaining.
The Clippers' 36 wins are their most since they won 40 games in 2006-07.
Reserve Nate Robinson led injury-riddled Golden State with 28 points, including four 3-pointers. Klay Thompson added 24 points, Dorell Wright scored 23 and Brandon Rush 22 in the Warriors' third consecutive loss and 11th in their last 13 games.

The Jazz held a 4-point lead early in the final period, but Mayo scored 10 straight points for Memphis to erase the advantage. His 3-pointer with 46 seconds left gave the Grizzlies enough of an advantage to win for the fifth time in six games.
Rudy Gay led Memphis with 26 points, 18 in the second half, and 12 rebounds, while Mike Conley and Marc Gasol added 17 points apiece. Conley also had six assists.
THUNDER115
TIMBERWOLVES110

Anthony Randolph had 22 points and 11 rebounds and Michael Beasley scored 26 for the Wolves.
PACERS 105, BUCKS 99

WASHINGTON -- Luke Harangody had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Anthony Parker scored 15 points and Tristan Thompson added 14 to lead Cleveland past Washington.
Lakers coach Mike Brown says the NBA scoring leader is likely to take another game off to rest his bruised left shin. The Lakers are 3-1 without Bryant, beating Denver 103-97 on Friday night. Bryant is walking comfortably on his leg without protection, but hasn't tried running or jumping with the injury yet. ... Orlando Magic C Dwight Howard is officially listed as out with a herniated disc in his lower back for Orlando's game in Cleveland today. Howard sat out the Magic's 109-81 loss to Atlanta Friday, the fifth game he's missed in Orlando's last seven.

Q: Derivative of order 16 - is there a method to do so? I have the following exercise:

Find the $16^{\text{th}}$ derivative of $y$, (i.e. $y^{(16)}$), for $y = \sin x$.

Is there any method to do so, or I simply have to differentiate the function $16$ times?

A: Hint:
$y'=\cos x$
$y''= -\sin x=-y$
$y'''=- \cos x=-y'$
$y''''=\sin x=y$
Do you notice the recursion? $y^{4k}= \dots $?

Woman faces online backlash for donating more than $800,000 to charity. This is why
The nun received $822,000 from the sale of her home, which she also donated to charity.
A Chinese nun faces backlash online for donating a fortune to charity while her daughter struggled to pay her college tuition.
According to South China Morning Post (SCMP), criticism erupted on social media after a vlogger interviewed the Buddhist nun on a Shanghai street and posted it to Chinese video platform Juliu Video. In the clip, the woman revealed that she converted to Buddhism in 2019 and donated all of her money and property, leaving nothing to her parents or daughter.
The nun received 5.88 million yuan ($822,000) from the sale of her home, which she also donated to charity. Although her parents supported her decision, the woman said her daughter did not understand her decision.
"After I became a nun, I sold my house and donated all the money, without leaving a penny to my parents or my daughter. My parents generally look at things on the bright side. They said it's your money It's your business how to spend it. However, my daughter doesn't understand my decision," she reportedly said in the video.

The nun also explained that her daughter had to take out student loans to pay for her studies. "She (the daughter) said that when she graduates from university, she will take tests for some qualification certificates. Years later, she could get married or buy an apartment, so she hopes her mother can help her a little bit financially," said the nun. .
The woman went on to say that many members of her family were suspicious of her religious conversion and did not support her decision to give away her wealth. She described the place she now loves as "a deep corner in a forest".
From SCMP, on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo, the nun's video has been viewed millions of times. While some internet users supported her decision to give away her wealth, others said the nun should have helped her daughter with education costs.

"I don't understand at all. If you don't want to leave money to your daughter, why did you give birth to her? You're just avoiding responsibility," one user wrote. "She's crazy and extremely selfish!" remarked another.
A third person commented, "You don't help your own family, how can you help others?" "A good Buddhist believer, but not a good mother," said another.

About Surax
Surax replied to Surax's topic in Star Trek: Enterprise
I am refering to more than just this comment. She has continually bad-mouthed the series for a good long while now.
Surax posted a topic in Star Trek: Enterprise
Once again, Jolene Blalock is mouthing off about how she hates Enterprise. She has done nothing but complain almost since the show began. My question is: If she really thinks so poorly of the show, why doesn't she just leave? Why didn't she just leave a long time ago?
How would you rate "Affliction"?
Surax replied to Takara_Soong's topic in Episode Rating Polls
Click For Spoiler Archer seemed shocked and outraged that one of his officers could be a "traitor". However, he seemed to make a bigger deal of it then he should have. When was the last time they had a conversation outside of work? Maybe if he had gotten to know him a bit more Archer could have foreseen this, or at least have a genuine reason to feel like he was personally attacked. Section 31 didn't excite me as much as I expected it to. This was probably because of the lack of recent character development for Malcolm. We haven't heard anything about him since the episode where Hoshi baked him a cake. I am sick and tired of Trip/Tepal relationship. There are other crewmembers who have relationships. Which brings me to my next point. I was genuinely relieved to see the Hoshi/Phlox scene. I'm glad their friendship has been mentioned again, even if it was only for a brief moment. This episode is like the rest of this season, mediocre. 8/10
Star Trek's future
Surax replied to MrPsychic's topic in Ten Forward
I am sorry to those who believe that Enterprise was good but you are wrong. There was little character development and even less character interaction. Aside from a few good episodes, the overall quality was mediocre at best. Star Trek is not dead, but it will need a major staff overhual to come back from this.
What rating do you give "Observer Effect"?
Surax replied to VaBeachGuy's topic in Episode Rating Polls
Click For Spoiler This was, IMHO, the best episode of the entire season. There was some action, but mostly it was about the people. We learned some more about Hoshi, my favourite character, which was excellent. There was enough of the Trip/T'Pol romance to remind us of it, but not enought to make be pissed off. (Incase you can't tell, I don't like that romance). This episode rocked. 10/10
Missed Opportunity
Way back when the Original Series was on the air, having Chekov was big because of the Cold War and having Uhura was big because of the treatment of Blacks. I think that in the upcoming episode, Daedalus, the producers had an opportunity to use an Arab be the inventor of the transporter, much in the same way that Richard Daystrom was Black. However, someone dropped the ball on this, which is somewhat disappointing. Any thoughts?
How Would You Rate Kir'Shara?
Surax replied to fenriz275's topic in Episode Rating Polls
Click For Spoiler As with the Brent Spinner trilogy, the last episode left me unsatisfied. Yes, the high command was using emotions to guide their decision. But I also saw much emotion in T'Pau, as well as in T'Pol. There were times when I did not see cast members as Vulcans, but as human's with pointy ears. This trilogy did not solve the Vulcan plot line in my eyes. I found that all that happened was that the producers told us "Hey, the Vulcan's are normal again." Maybe it's just because we didn't actually see the change, but were only assured that it will happen eventually. How long did T'Pau say it would take to translate the Kir Shara? As for the Romulan thing, I think that Manny Coto is walking a fine line. He must remember that no humans must see a romulan before Kirk does. I realize that it was a Vulcan who saw the Romulan, and presumably they know about the Romulans, but still. If this Romulan thing is not done right, they will end botching this trilogy like they did the last two.
How Would You Rate "Awakening"?
Surax replied to Captain Bolivar's topic in Episode Rating Polls
They were not suggesting that Al Qaeda was innocent. They were suggesting that the Iraqi people were innocent. The only people America has gone to war with on faulty intelligence recently was Iraq. There was the issue of ties to Al Qaeda and the supposed stockpiles.

Nice. Any idea why startrek.com didn't post it?
Click For Spoiler This episode was surprisingly good. It sums up what Vulcans have really become and why they need to change. They tried to blast Enterprise out of the sky despite being allies and are willing to destroy Andoria because of faulty intelligence (sound familiar?). The one thing that stopped me from giving this episode a 10 was the Vulcans in this episode. Not only were the bad ones too guided by emotions, but I noticed many emotions in the good ones too. On her death bed, T'Pol's mom was on the verge of tears, while T'Pol herself wept. And T'Pau was getting angry at one point. Other than that one point, the episode was quite enjoyable. 9/10.
Jolene Blalock Says Season 4 Is Probably The End
Surax replied to Stephen of Borg's topic in Star Trek: Enterprise
I don't think that they should ever have made ENT. They should have waited a couple years for the franchise to build up to what it once was. I would rather wait 5 years to come back to a really good season than take this crap. This series could have been done so easily. The story is already told, all the writers need to do is fill in the gap. The foundation of the Federation, the Romulan War, the Klingon ridge issue, the Vulcan indescrepancies. Most of these issues are going to be dealt with in this season, but it shouldn't have taken 3 seasons before they did these.
Should Brent Spiner Become A Regular Cast Member?
Although I did like his character, I can see no way to incorporate his character into the series as a regular.
How Would You Rate "The Augments"?
Click For Spoiler Alas, I did not enjoy this episode. The trailer promised that the Augments would ignite the hostilities between the Klingons and Earth that would last for generations. They did not do that. Also, the authors lost another good opportunity to explain the klingon ridges, they disappeared because of the viruses. This episode highlights something that has bugged me about Enterprise. The directors/producers/writers have wanted to make this show original. Completely different from the others. This is a mistake. Although I enjoy a little originallity, there are many key issues that need to be addressed. The writers already have a universe to work towards, they just need to build up to it. How do the Klingons lose their ridges? How does the hostilities between them and the humans begin? What about the Romulan wars? What about the Vulcan descrepincies? What about the Federation, something about which has only been allueded to in TCW episodes? These questions have not been answered and I doubt they ever will.

Maybe someone could photoshop it.
"Top 25 worst films of all time...."
Surax replied to master_q's topic in Trek News
I find it extremely hard to believe that Nemisis is in the top 25. Movies have been made for the last 70 years at least and it is extremely unlikely that this one could make it on the list. Sure, it wasn't great. But it wasn't that bad.


My 7-year-old daughter is truly becoming a little mini me. This could be good and bad, but I am so proud of her and my other children. They love God. They are determined, kind (most of the time), and always dreaming.
The other day while we were watching Curious George on PBS, one of the commercials announced a kids writers contest. As I said, my daughter and I are very much alike. She loves to write, create, and dream up stories. Of course, her little ears perked up the moment the news tickled them. "A writer's contest? Can I do it. Can I do it, Mom. Please!" she asked.
Immediately, she ran to get my phone so we could look up the rules to the contest and discover the mystery topic. The topic of the contest is an invitation to dream.
PBS wants to know what K-3rd graders wish could happen in their neighborhood.
I love this. I wish I could read every entry!
So, I gave my daughter a piece of paper, a pencil, and told her to dream. "What do you wish could happen in our neighborhood?," I asked her. She says our neighborhood is boring, so she got very excited about the opportunity to dream up a new more exciting possibility. What she wrote, floored me.
She began her story inspired by Dr. Seuss' book, If I Ran The Circus. She dreamt of a circus in our streets, balloons floating by every house, and elephants parading. She laughed and smiled as she imagined what it would be like. It was magical in her mind. Her little hands gripped the pencil, writing as fast as she could. I smiled at her and left her alone to dream not knowing how her story would end.
When I walked back in the room just a few minutes later, she was already finished writing and coloring a picture of the world at the bottom of the page. I inquired if I could read it just as she got up out of her chair and bashfully walked over to hand it to me.
To my daughter, the best neighborhood is a neighborhood full of people who know God and live in JOY. Wow. I was not expecting that. She could have written about anything. Her story began with a circus, because a circus is fun and exciting, but the more she thought about it, she realized true joy only comes from God. So, we will have a circus where we tell people about Jesus. That sounds good to me, baby girl.
Daily my kids challenge me. My daughter has stirred me to pray for our neighbors. Perhaps, God has given my 7-year-old a vision for our neighborhood that I was too busy to receive?
What is the story you dream for your neighborhood? Maybe you should ask your children how they would finish the sentence. Don't underestimate them. Don't underestimate your ability to disciple them or God's ability to speak to them. Jesus said, "Let the children come to me." Let's do what He asked and see what dreams they begin to dream, the visions they begin to see, the promises they begin to hear, and the destinies they begin to live. God has a big plan for this generation.
P.S. If you are interested in the writers contest and you live in the Washington D.C. area, the info is here. The deadline for entries is May 1st. This is a great end of the semester homework assignment!!!
