Q: How to send Spring Boot logs directly into Elasticsearch server? I'm looking for a best/newest way to send Spring Boot application logs directly into Elasticsearch server without using Filebeats or Logstash. How can I do that? Is there a simple/modern way in Spring Boot or using any good/reputed library to achieve that?
What I need is directly sending logs from Spring Boot to Elasticsearch without any middle service like Logstash. If a third party library that can add to pom.xml and if it is doing that completely that is fine. I need the Spring application itself to handle this. I have checked some similar questions in Stack Overflow.
But some libraries are deprecated now and some are not updated for a long time. I like to know about a new library or a way to do this now? Basically what it is writing to console should be sent to Elasticsearch.

A: You could include the logback-elastic-appender library in your pom.xml and use the included com.internetitem.logback.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchAppender class as the appender in the logging config in logback.xml file
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.internetitem</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-elasticsearch-appender</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
</dependency>

Is that one of the libraries you didn't want to use because it hasn't been updated recently? If so, you could write a custom appender and point to it in the logback.xml file. A simple implementation of the appender could look like below:
package com.example.demo;

import java.time.Instant;
import java.time.ZoneId;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.ILoggingEvent;
import ch.qos.logback.core.AppenderBase;
import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;

public class ElasticSearchAppender extends AppenderBase<ILoggingEvent> {
    private static final String ELASTIC_SEARCH_API_HOST = "http://localhost:9200";
    private static final String ELASTIC_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME = "dummy-index";
    private static final WebClient webClient = WebClient.create(ELASTIC_SEARCH_API_HOST);
    private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(ElasticSearchAppender.class.getName());
    public static final DateTimeFormatter ISO_8601_FORMAT = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXX")
            .withZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());

    @Override
    protected void append(ILoggingEvent eventObject) {
        Map<String, Object> loggingEvent = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        loggingEvent.put("@timestamp",
                ISO_8601_FORMAT.format(Instant.ofEpochMilli(eventObject.getTimeStamp())));
        loggingEvent.put("message", eventObject.getMessage());

        // Add additional fields like MDC

        webClient.post()
            .uri("/{logIndex}/_doc", ELASTIC_SEARCH_INDEX_NAME)
            .bodyValue(loggingEvent)
            .retrieve()
            .bodyToMono(Void.class)
            .onErrorResume(exception -> {
                LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, "Unable to send log to elastic", exception);
                return Mono.empty();
            })
            .subscribe();
    }

}

logback.xml:
<configuration>
    <appender name="ELASTIC" class="com.example.demo.ElasticSearchAppender" />
    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="ELASTIC"/>
    </root>
</configuration>

A: You can use the LOGGER that Spring boot provides:
import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;

private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(yourClass.class);

LOGGER.info("PRINT THIS OUT");

This should show up in a file called "Messages" in elastic beanstalk.
This comes from spring-boot-starter-web dependency.
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>

A: Create your self-host Elastic server, add elastic.jar to the project and add Elastic configurations to your Dockerfile:
java -javaagent:elastic-apm-agent-1.0.jar \
 -Delastic.apm.service_name=project_name \
 -Delastic.apm.server_urls=http://elastic_server_url \
 -Delastic.apm.secret_token= \
 -Delastic.apm.environment=$ACTIVE_PROFILE \
 -Delastic.apm.application_packages=package_name \

Saving money is a great financial move. It comes with a variety of benefits including giving you more spending power. However, saving in itself is not an easy thing to do. It requires a lot of commitment and self-discipline. Below are a few tips that you can use to help you save effectively.
Budgeting simply means planning how you will spend your money. You should budget for all your income, possibly before you even receive it. When making the budget, be realistic on the amounts you allocate for each item. Try to do away with anything that you do not really need. The first item on your budget should always be 'savings.' This means that you only get to spend what is left after you save as opposed to saving what remains after you spend.
There are many places where you can put the money that you save. The best choice is to open a savings account and deposit all your savings in it. You will gain some interest from the saving when it stays in the account over a stipulated time, which adds to your savings. Some banks also offer features such as lock accounts, which will come in handy for those who lack self-discipline.
Debts make it quite difficult for you to save. If possible, avoid taking any debt, especially if how you spend the money will not have any returns. Pay using cash as opposed to credit cards. If you have to get a debt, ensure that your lender offers reasonable terms regarding the interest rates and repayment period. You should also ensure that you have a sure plan of how you will repay the debt.
To increase the amount of money that you are able to save, you need to increase the amount of income that you get. There are two main ways that you can do this. The first is to work extra hours to earn more. You can even consider taking a part time job. The second way is to start a business or invest in one that already exists. With business, you have to choose carefully where to invest in to avoid losses.
You should set a goal for your savings. This can be anything such to buy a car, go on vacation, or pay for higher education. It will also work as motivation for you to save.

Q: ASP.NET Timer Event protected void SubmitButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
        ---
        ---
    //line 1
    get_datasource();

    String message = "submitted.";
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(), "popupAlert", "popupAlert(' " + message + " ');", true);

    timer.Interval = 30000;
    timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_tick);

    // Only raise the event the first time Interval elapses.
    timer.AutoReset = false;
    timer.Enabled = true;
}

protected void timer_tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//line 2
    get_datasource();
    GridView2.DataBind();
}

The problem is with the data in the grid view that is being displayed... since when get_datasource which is after line 1 is called the updated data is displayed in the grid view since it is a postback event but when the timer event handler is calling the timer_tick event the get_datasource function is called but after that the updated data is not visible in the grid view. It is nnot getting updated since the timer_tick is not a post back event

A: The server-side timer as you have implemented it, will not work for what you are trying to achieve.
If you wrap both the timer and gridview in a updatepanel, the timer will trigger a postback everytime the tick event fires and you be able to update the data.
Heres a great blog post to get you going: http://mattberseth.com/blog/2007/08/using_the_ajax_timer_control_a.html
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
    <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server">
        </asp:GridView>
        <asp:Timer id="Timer1" runat="server" Interval="30000" OnTick="Timer_Tick" Enabled="false" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Update" OnClick="SubmitButtonClicked" />
    </ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>

Server-side code:
    private void Timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs args)
    {
        get_datasource();
        GridView2.DataBind();

        Timer1.Enabled = false;
    }

    protected void SubmitButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        String message = "submitted.";
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, this.GetType(), "popupAlert", "popupAlert(' " + message + " ');", true);

        get_datasource();
        GridView2.DataBind();

        Timer1.Enabled = true;

    }

A: You cannot use a timer like that. While ASP.NET tries to hide the request/response cycle of HTTP, the cycle is still there so you cannot just do whatever you like in your postback: you still need to understand that a HTML response is being sent back in response to a HTTP request.
Is there any particular reason why you're trying to use a timer like this? It doesn't seem to make sense to me. What is it that you're trying to achieve?


Now may be the time of Windows 10, but there's big chunk of population that still uses the legendary Windows 7. One of the biggest reasons for the survival of Windows 7 for this long is its ease to use and the bundle of features it comes with. Without being fancy, it offers almost everything that is capable of satisfying almost every daily need of yours. Moreover, this is the operating system that doesn't require an expensive set up or a bulky space on your hard drive. However, you might feel depressed at times when you're locked out of Windows 7 administrator account. If you face any problem like so, we've got your back to take you out of this situation.
Tool (Here we're taking example of Windows 7 Password Genius. You may use any).
A working Windows computer or laptop.
USB or a writable CD/DVD.
Download and install Windows 7 Password Genius on the other working computer.
Plug in your USB flash drive or insert the CD/DVD in the RW/ROM.
On Password Genius window, select USB device or CD/DVD according to the device you've chosen to unlock Windows 7 and click on Begin burning button.
Once the burning completes, you can see a Burning Successful message on screen. Now you've a bootable USB or CD/DVD to execute the job.
When you experience a situation where you are left with your PC locked, you must change the default boot option by going to BIOS settings that appear when you press boot option key during the initial booting of PC. It is important to switch the boot option when you are locked out of Windows 7 to let the USB do the resetting.
Connect the USB drive or CD/DVD to your locked PC.
When you switch on the machine, keep pressing the boot option key i.e. ESC, F1, F2, F8 or F10 depending on the manufacturer of BIOS.
Navigate through the arrow keys on the Boot tab in BIOS setup.
Select your booting device as USB or CD/DVD.
You must confirm the Windows 7 system and select your administrator account that you wish to unlock, while the Password Genius tool runs on your locked PC. Then, click on Reset Password button.
Make sure you click on Yes on the pop-up window and successfully remove Windows 7 admin password.
Tap on Reboot in order to apply the changes made.
You would now be able to login to your locked out administrator account of Windows 7. The screen would not ask for any password for you to login.
Overall, it is very unlikely that you may end up getting your Windows 7 admin account locked. But, it doesn't cost to be prepared to face situations when you see your PC locked. You may either be prepared by keeping a USB flash drive ready for emergencies or can create one when it is required. If you know some more tricks that can help you with locked out admin account of Windows 7, do let us know in the comments below.

Friday Night Dinner actor Rosalind Knight has died, it has been confirmed in a statement by her family.
The actor, who was also known for her roles in two Carry On movies, was 87 years old. No cause of death has been shared at the time of writing.
The statement from Knight's family read: "It is with huge sadness that the family of Rosalind Knight announce her death following a glorious career as a well-loved actress in theatre, TV and film.
"She was known to so many generations for so many different roles and will be missed as much by the kids today who howl at Horrible Grandma in Friday Night Dinner as by those of us who are old enough to remember her in the very first Carry On films."

It continued, calling her a "great reader, art lover and raconteur" and noting her support for the theatre world "through her involvement in the building of the Royal Exchange Theatre, alongside her husband Michael Elliott, and her support for the Actors Centre and the Ladies' Theatrical Guild". The statement, which was written by her daughters Marianne and Susannah Elliott, added that Knight was also "an active member of her local history society and opera society, and was a fierce campaigner and fundraiser for the Hogarth Trust".
"She will be greatly missed by all who knew her," it concluded.
Knight's first credited TV appearance was as Miss Fanny Squeers in a 1957 adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby. She went on to appear in Carry On Nurse and Carry On Teacher, Jackanory, Only Fools And Horses, Gimme Gimme Gimme, About A Boy, The Crown and more. Her last role was as Horrible Grandma in Friday Night Dinner.
Tributes have begun to be paid to Knight online following the news of her death. Friday Night Dinner star Tom Rosenthal tweeted that he felt "lucky to have known her".

"Sorry to heap more sad news on but we lost Rosalind a few days ago," he wrote. "Despite being the most wonderful Horrible Grandma she was in real life quite the opposite. She filmed the last series whilst not particularly well and remained the most fun and talented person."
"Simply wonderful," wrote Kathy Burke in her own tribute, while Gillian McKeith hailed her for her "glorious career" and being a "gifted entertainer. See those and more below now.

Mac Jones wins another challenge; Gets offer from Louisville Cardinals
By Jason Marcum@marcum89 Apr 25, 2016, 8:06pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Mac Jones wins another challenge; Gets offer from Louisville Cardinals
@macjones2017
Mac Jones is quickly becoming one of the top quarterback prospects of the 2017 class.
Jones was just named MVP of the Rivals QB Challenge in Baltimore over the weekend. He's already won events in Orlando and Atlanta, but the Baltimore challenge saw more elite QB prospects competing, which Jones is putting himself in the same tier as.
"From the moment he stepped on that field, he felt he was going to win this thing," Rivals.com recruiting analyst Mike Farrell told the Lexington Herald-Leader. "There was no doubt in his mind. Second place was never an option for him. And I really like that about him."
Oh, and he's also a firm commit for the Kentucky Wildcats, and even with schools like Alabama, West Virginia and others pursuing him, Mac has given no indication he's wavering on his pledge.
"As he continues to do better and wins these things, more and more schools are going to come in," Farrell said. "Originally, the thought was if he got one of those huge SEC offers he was going to stay close to home and go play there. But, it's not like he jumped on the Alabama offer. So, you just kind of have to think about that."
While UK should be able to hold onto Jones, he will continue to get offers from many BCS programs, including the Louisville Cardinals.
Just received an offer from University of Louisville! #GoCards #ACC pic.twitter.com/IoS6gnVMx2
— Mac Jones (@macjones2017) April 25, 2016
I got a good laugh out of seeing the reaction this drew on Twitter. People are freaking out over a BCS program offering a possible five-star prospect a scholarship, not to mention the Cards having a heavy recruiting presence in Florida, so it was only a matter of time before they offered Jones.
But it is Louisville, so of course people will make a bigger deal about it than it really is. I'd be far more worried about schools like Alabama before I worry about the Cards. People aren't giving Mac enough credit for not only how committed to UK he is, but how much he's recruiting fellow 2017 recruits to UK.

The longest of the three courses on the RTJ Golf Trail at Grand National, the Links layout can be stretched to 7,311 yards and some think this well-manicured course is the best on the entire Trail. Certainly, the water-laden par four 18th is one of the strongest finishing holes on any of the twenty-six member courses across the state of Alabama.
The Links course doesn't quite play as firm and fast as its name might suggest. Instead, it requires a decent aerial game to manoeuvre the golf ball around tree-lined fairways, where water and wetland areas come into play occasionally, and there are several holes with significant elevation changes.
Notable holes include the left doglegged par four 4th, where the fairway wraps itself around the waters of Lake Saugahatchee, the par three 9th, which is played to a 150-foot long peninsula green, and the solid par five 12th, with its fairway narrowing at it approaches a sand-protected green.
Perhaps it could have been called Redundant National. Four of the first seven greens were identical: three tiered jobs. On the back nine, a new redundancy appeared: a ridge bisecting the green from right to left. There were still a few of the first redundancies, though. So by the time I'd finished my round, I felt like I'd putted on half a dozen greens at the most.
Or perhaps it could have been called "The Long Walk." No, it wasn't nearly the length of Slawomir Rawicz's trek from Siberia to India during World War II, but it certainly felt like it. I knew I was in for it when the path from the 1st green to the 2nd tee was nearly a quarter mile….as was the walk between the 15th and 16th. There were similar forced marches on half the holes. Yes, I could have taken a cart, but that sport bears only a passing resemblance to golf…..kinda like the difference between downhill skiing and cross-country.
The course does have some redeeming qualities, including good condition and some interesting holes. My four ball rating is nearly a three, but I will concede it is an above average course.

Geschichte

Die ältesten Spuren datieren auf das dritte und vierte Jahrtausend v. Chr. und sind im Doblergraben sowie am Ziegelberg zu finden.
Eine Römerstraße überquerte bei Leonhardspfunzen auf der "pons aeni" den Inn und verlief in Richtung Westen bis nach Augsburg.
Von der ersten christlichen Kirche "ecclesia ad sinsa" wird im Jahr 790 in der Gegend um Sims berichtet. 1130 wurde das Dorf Stephanskirchen erstmals urkundlich als "stevenchirgen" erwähnt. Auf dem Schlossberg befand sich die Burg Rosenheim, auch Schloss Rosenheim genannt. Erstmals im Jahre 1232 erwähnt, diente es als Verwaltungs- und Gerichtssitz der Wittelsbacher; es verfiel Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts.

Die Pestepidemien des Mittelalters forderten auch in Stephanskirchen ihren Tribut. Im Wald zwischen Kieling und Baierbach steht ein Gedenkstein zum Andenken an die dort Begrabenen. Die Aufschrift der Gedenktafel lautet:

Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges im Jahr 1632 herrschte in den Ortschaften der Umgebung die Pest. Viele Menschen starben an dieser Krankheit und wurden hier an diesem stillen Ort in Massengräbern bestattet. Der Überlieferung nach sind ganze Ortschaften ausgestorben. In Kieling blieb nur ein kleines Mädchen übrig. Dieses steinerne Kreuz wurde zum Gedenken an die Toten aufgestellt. (Geschichtlich überliefert durch Pfarrer Angerer, Stephanskirchen).

In den Hauptmannschaften Gehering und Stephanskirchen, Vorläufern der heutigen Gemeinde Stephanskirchen, herrschten bis ins 18. Jahrhundert ländliche Strukturen vor. Stephanskirchen und die neu entstandene Arbeiter- und Taglöhnersiedlung Hofleiten wurden im Zuge der Verwaltungsreformen in Bayern 1818 selbständige politische Gemeinden. 1854 kam es zur Vereinigung von Hofleiten und Stephanskirchen. Aufgrund der sozialen Unterschiede kam es bis ins späte 19. Jahrhundert zu heftigen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Gemeindeteilen. Seit 1900 wurde Schloßberg durch die Nähe zu Rosenheim zum größten Ort im Gemeindegebiet.

Von November 1944 bis April 1945 befand sich im Gemeindeteil Haidholzen das Außenlager Stephanskirchen des Konzentrationslagers Dachau, in dem etwa 250 KZ-Häftlinge Zwangsarbeit verrichten mussten. Die russischen, polnischen und französischen Kriegsgefangenen wurden in einer Barackensiedlung auf dem Gelände der dortigen Flak-Kaserne untergebracht. Das Hauptgebäude dieser Flak-Kaserne existiert heute noch, seit 1947 befinden sich darin die Produktionsanlagen einer Süßwarenfabrik. Die Häftlinge arbeiteten für regionale Auftraggeber und für die Chiemgauer Vertriebsgesellschaft O.H.G, ein Zweigwerk der Firma BMW, das in Stephanskirchen Flugzeugmotoren fertigte, seinen Betrieb aber nie voll aufnahm. Aus mehreren unabhängigen Quellen geht hervor, dass es im Außenlager Stephanskirchen auch zu Morden an Inhaftierten kam. Gegen Ende 1944 war das Werk Ziel von Luftangriffen, bei denen zwei Belegschaftsmitglieder starben. 30 % der Gebäudesubstanz und 20 % des Maschinenparks wurde zerstört, es entstand ein Schaden in Höhe von 250.000 RM. Auf Befehl Heinrich Himmlers wurde im März und April 1945 eine Evakuierung in rückwärtige Konzentrationslager durchgeführt, in deren Verlauf viele Häftlinge aus Erschöpfung starben oder von der SS erschossen wurden.

Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kamen etwa 1500 Flüchtlinge und Heimatvertriebene nach Stephanskirchen und gründeten in der Nähe der Kaserne die Siedlung Haidholzen (→ Flüchtlingssiedlung). Straßennamen wie "Schlesierstraße" oder "Sudetenlandstraße" weisen bis heute auf die Herkunft dieser Vertriebenen hin (→ Flucht und Vertreibung 1945–1950).

2003 wurde in Schloßberg ein neues Rathaus eröffnet.

Einwohnerstatistik
Zwischen 1988 und 2018 wuchs die Gemeinde von 9.035 auf 10.528 um 1.493 Einwohner bzw. um 16,5 %.

Stephanskirchen liegt an der Staatsstraße 2362, die eine direkte Verbindung nach Rosenheim herstellt. Von Rosenheim aus ist die A 8 über die B 15 erreichbar.

Durch die Gemeinde Stephanskirchen verläuft die Bahnstrecke München–Salzburg. Sie wird im Kursbuch der Deutschen Bahn unter der Streckennummer 951 geführt. Der Bahnhof wurde am 7. Mai 1860 als Kreuzungsbahnhof an der erst eingleisig gebauten Verbindung in Betrieb genommen. Er besaß neben dem Hauptgleis auch ein Ausweichgleis, dies konnte mit dem Ausbau der Strecke entfallen. Später wurde der Bahnhof erweitert, indem eine Waage, eine Erderampe, eine Wagendrehscheibe und Abstellgleise hinzukamen. Die Weichen wurden beidseitig handgestellt. Am 31. Mai 1981 wurde der Halt aufgrund von Fahrgastmangel aufgegeben. Zuletzt hatte der Bahnhof vereinzelt im Ausflugsverkehr zwischen Rosenheim und Freilassing Bedeutung. Am 25. November 1985 wurde auch der Güterverkehr eingestellt und die Station stillgelegt. Das Empfangsgebäude wird heute privat genutzt.

Heute wird Stephanskirchen im öffentlichen Personennahverkehr nur noch durch drei Buslinien der RVO bedient. Die Linie 9496 fährt Montag bis Freitag von Rosenheim über Stephanskirchen und Riedering nach Aschau im Chiemgau ungefähr im Zweistundentakt. An Samstagen verkehren einzelne Busse, an Sonntagen ist kein Betrieb. Die Linie 9497 ist mit gleichem Fahrplanangebot zwischen dem Bahnhof Rosenheim über Stephanskirchen, Riedering, Rimsting und dem Bahnhof Prien am Chiemsee unterwegs. An Samstagen fahren auf der Buslinie 9497 nur zwei Kurse, an Sonntagen ist kein Betrieb. Linie 9498 verstärkt das Angebot zwischen Rosenheim und Stephanskirchen.

language learning software by Auralog!
The following Tell Me More review is based on my experience with Tell Me More French V10. I have been working with it for some time now, so I have a good handle on it. I make some comparisons to my version of Tell Me More Performance German, which I believe is version 9 (read my review of this older version called Tell Me More Performance here.) You can also read Tell Me More reviews from other language learners below, and I highly recommend you go their website and try their demo to experience it for yourself.
Read Tell Me More reviews from other language learners or if you have already used it before, write your own review of Tell Me More!
Tell Me More is a world renowned language learning method by Auralog. It can boast many of the same awards, credentials and sales figures of some other language methods like Rosetta Stone or Pimsleur, but does not quite have the name recognition that they have. I'm not sure why, because it is a world-class program that is actually far more comprehensive than any other products.
They have updated the look and feel and the overall navigation of the program. Honestly, I don't think it needed it because I liked Version 9 just fine. But, the new version looks great. The tab layout at the top with Training, Resources etc. is nice, and the little pie charts and bar graphs showing how much you have been studying and what you have been learning are also nice touches.
My 4 year old laptop actually doesn't meet their required specs, but it runs the program just fine, it's just a little bit slower. On my other computer (which does meet the specs) it runs great. I've had no installation issues or other issues of any kind in the 5 months that I have been running the program - it's been remarkably stable. My overall impression is that it's a great program that didn't need to be improved but they improved it anyway.
Tell Me More is largely based on dialogues. Right from the beginning I was presented with the kind of everyday conversation you are likely to have. There are a few different paths these dialogues can take for some variation, but not too much to be overwhelmed.
Then there are the activities. The conversations you were just exposed to are hashed and re-hashed every which way you can imagine. You are tested and re-tested on the grammar, word-order and vocabulary in activities and exercises that engage you in a variety of ways to ensure that you are learning and using the material.
In word-finds and crosswords, for example, new vocabulary and context-specific vocabulary is mixed in, so you don't get bored with the same material over and over again. Listening comprehension is a particular focus that I like. For instance, you will hear the word pronounced and you must locate it in the word-find. You won't see the spelling until you get it right. This is a great way to tune your ear to the new language.
After completing one activity (hopefully getting it all right), you move on to the next activity. It could be focused on listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary or even culture. Every aspect of the language is included in the lesson plan.
There are two different learning modes in Tell Me More (more on this below) that you can choose. My experience with Tell Me More so far has been in the Guided Mode. As you read this review, keep that in mind as the learning experience in the other mode can be quite different, something that I think is a great feature of Tell Me More.
The dialogues which form the basis of your first experiences in the program are based on day-to-day topics. It's the kind of everyday conversation anyone is likely to have. This, of course, features the most common verbs, vocabulary, function words and grammar. It presents to the learner what is most useful to the most people, and doesn't try to dumb it down.
The earliest dialogues begin with text, a few images and natural sounding audio spoken by multiple native speakers, both male and female. With the text, you can click the Translation button and get the translation of any word and hear it pronounced just by clicking on it, without going out of the activity. Later, video dialogues, role-playing, and more expository material are included in the activities.
Other published language methods try to slow down the dialogue, making it too clinical. Not so with Tell Me More. It may seem more difficult at first, but it is ultimately better for you.
The activities form the bulk of your learning regimen. There are an abundance of different games and activities - word finds, crosswords, phrase matching, fill-in-the-blanks, listening and reading comprehension, dictation, pronunciation practice, role playing, grammar and word order exercises and more. Some are passive while others are active. They can focus on any combination of listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary or culture.
These activities and games break up what can be the monotony of study, without being the sole focus of the method like some inexpensive language programs. Some activities, like the grammar exercises, are like those you will find in a text book. Others are much more interactive, using the full potential of the computer.
In the Guided Mode that I am using, my whole lesson plan is mapped out. I have a series of lessons and activities laid out in front of me. I've chosen not to focus on any specific aspect of the language (like reading or speaking), but I was given the option to do that if I wanted.
If you prefer, there is the Free-to-Roam Mode, where you can study any lesson or engage in any activity at any time. It is the same material as the Guided mode, but it is presented in a very different way. It is entirely up to you.
This level of flexibility is great. If you need the program to tell you what to learn, it can. If you want to determine that for yourself, you can. There was a Dynamic Mode in the previous version. Honestly, I never really tried it because I was so satisfied with the Guided and Free-to-Roam modes. Maybe that's why it wasn't included in this new version.
Usually, one of the disadvantages of using software to learn a language is that you can only be studying with your computer. Books and audio methods have the advantage of being able to go with you, allowing for greater flexibility and convenience. Tell Me More partially nullifies that disadvantage by providing ways to export the learning material to go with you.
Tell Me More allows you to convert lessons into audio format and export them in order for you to use on your mp3 player or cd player. This is a smart feature. It doesn't just blindly convert a lesson into audio, but rather it creates a whole mini audio method all by itself. It uses the background music of the program as an intro, includes an explanatory introduction, then replays dialogues and vocabulary for review. Another section includes a little role-playing, replaying the dialogues but prompting you to play one of the parts and respond aloud.
This additional audio export feature is a great extra that reinforces exactly what you have been learning in a different format. It improves upon the limitations of software and adds convenience to an already flexible language method.
This is where Tell Me More most shines. There are plenty of language learning programs and methods to learn the basics, but it is so difficult to find learning materials for the intermediate and advanced levels. Tell Me More finally provides some real study material at these levels, leading the learner forward right into intermediate and more advanced topics. Because of the quantity and quality of the content, Tell Me More is a viable option for those who already have some knowledge of the language, unlike most other language methods.
I am astounded as I look around in the software sometimes just to review some vocabulary or look up a grammar point. There is so much content here. For each level, for every section of every lesson, there is vocabulary, grammar, audio and video. There is a resource for an online Euronews lesson that features weekly news topics. I could use this program every day for years before it is finished!
Even after (at the time of this writing) 2 semesters of French in college, I am finishing Level 3 and preparing to move on to Level 4 of the 10 Level program. Much of the same material and topics covered in class and the textbook was also covered in Tell Me More, but very often the vocabulary used was a little different. I expected this, simply because the vocabulary used in almost any two courses is different. I found it very helpful.
My French teacher was excellent and the textbook is very good, but most of my classmates were not very good which slowed down the class. Tell Me More gave me a different learning perspective that helped me considerably and made those classes easy A's. The cost of those two classes was more than the price of the 10 Level Tell Me More French. Considering I'm on Level 4 of a 10 Level program, the cost of Tell Me More is looking quite good compared to the cost and effectiveness of the classes.
Looking to get better grades in French Class? Tell Me More would help enormously. It's entirely possible that I may not be able to continue in French next semester if it doesn't fit into my schedule. That would disappoint me, but I will continue studying on my own with this program. In fact, when I transfer to a better school, I will need to take a French placement exam. With Tell Me More in my toolkit, I'm not worried about that test at all!
When you first start the program, you are prompted to choose the level you are starting at or take an online placement test which will suggest a proper level for you. I took the test (which takes about 30 minutes) and found it to be a little difficult. I had taken French in high school (many years ago) and was currently taking French in college. My score on the placement test was 5.3, which would put me in level 5 of the program. I am a good test-taker and made some good educated guesses, so the score was a little generous. I looked around in Level 5 but found it too difficult for me. My vocabulary is a little (probably a lot) weak and I just couldn't keep up. I placed myself in Level 3 and have found it enjoyable and challenging at the same time.
This placement test is most important if you purchase a 2 Level or 5 Level product. The DVD includes all of the levels, but what you are buying is the key to 'unlock' levels. The placement test allows you to set your level so that you are not wasting levels that you purchase. For example, let's say that you have had some high school or college French and want to bring it back to a decent level, but you don't want to start from the very beginning. If you bought a 5 Level product, you could take the placement test and let's say start at Level 3. You would then 'unlock' levels 3,4,5,6 and 7. It's a smart feature that allows for some flexibility. Considering the 2, 5 and 10 Level purchase options, and the fact that you can purchase additional level packages, there is a solution for everybody.
Any reputable company nowadays has a guarantee. Tell Me More has a 90 day, money back guarantee. Just be sure to keep all the original packaging and the receipt, although you should do that for anything you buy. If you must return the product, call the company first. Most companies require you to get a return authorization before sending something back.
Here's the good news - there aren't many. Tell Me More tries to do a lot and mostly succeeds.
I had a minor problem with the Glossary in the previous version. While I don't have the same problem in this version, I still don't like the layout of the Glossary. I would rather it was just a dictionary that could be searched either English to French or French to English like many online translators and dictionaries. I still have trouble just looking up a word sometimes.
Sorry Mac users - they don't have a version for you, PC only. I'm not a Mac user myself, but I believe there is a way to run Windows and Windows-based software on a Mac. You'll have to look for Mac support elsewhere to get help for that. Update*** There is an online version for Mac users now available.
Most publishers of more expensive products limit their product selection, and Tell Me More is no exception. Tell Me More Version 10 is available in English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. There are also products for learning Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Arabic and Dutch, but they don't go as far as those 10 Levels. These languages account for more than 95% of all language learners out there, so most people won't be disappointed. But if you are looking for software for something less commonly learned like Swedish, Catalan, Korean, or even Russian, you'll have to look somewhere else.
Let's get one thing perfectly clear - Tell Me More is not cheap. It is a big financial commitment that requires an equally serious commitment on the part of the learner. But, having said that, it is comparable in price to big-name language learning products like Pimsleur and Rosetta Stone. I'll make specific product comparisons later, but with Tell Me More you get a whole lot more functionality and content than any other course I have seen, and that translates into value for your investment.
Tell Me More has a steep learning curve. Not to learn and use the software and get the most out of it, but with the learning material itself. It does not spoon-feed bits of information to make the beginning learner feel like he is actually learning something, a la Rosetta Stone. Tell Me More doesn't ease you into it or try to slow down or dumb down the material unnecessarily. It demands hard work on the part of the student in order to advance. It shows some respect for the learning process and the student. Some would be put off by this but I prefer it this way.
Pimsleur is one of the most popular and well-known language learning methods, and that is why I am including it here. However, it's really comparing apples to oranges because Pimsleur is a purely audio language method. There should be two different sets of expectations for an all-audio method and a software method. But see the next two comparisons for some apples to apples.
First, let me say that I love Pimsleur. Its pronunciation and conversation work are just unequalled. I would use it for any language but never completely by itself if I wanted to really learn the language. It has its limitations. It has limited vocabulary and if you already have some experience with the language it may move too slow for you, or be of limited value.
For the same price, Tell Me More has many times more vocabulary and flexibility. You can work at your own pace, unlike Pimsleur. The pronunciation and conversation practice isn't the laser-like focus that you get with Pimsleur, but it is admirable. Overall, the flexibility and variation possible can provide a great work-out for any learner of nearly any level. A motivated student could get so much more out of Tell Me More than Pimsleur.
If you absolutely have to choose between these two, you must choose Tell Me More.
Note** I am comparing Tell Me More V10 (the latest version) with Rosetta Stone V3 which I am now familiar with.
This is much more of an apples to apples comparison, as both Rosetta Stone and Tell Me More are software packages of roughly equal price.
Rosetta Stone has some flexibility, and has varied its content, but still feels tedious. It has a tendency to let you cheat just to get through an exercise when you get bored (which happens quickly), but Tell Me More doesn't ever get to that point.
Tell Me More offers even greater flexibility, and the variation ensures that learning needn't ever be tiresome. The Learning Modes provide an overarching control that lets students tailor their learning experience to specific learning styles, something that Rosetta Stone lacks to the same degree.
Tell Me More simply has better extras. The activities and games provide variation that never bores the learner. The pronunciation practice and evaluation is effective, while in Rosetta Stone it is still quirky and unpredictable. I never liked that feature in Rosetta Stone, but find myself enjoying it with Tell Me More.
I suppose I have to talk about what a 'level' is. A 'level' in Rosetta Stone can't be compared to a 'level' in Tell Me More because they are both using completely different standards and goals. So, I won't make some silly statement that Tell Me More has 10 Levels but Rosetta Stone only has 5. It's not the same thing. But, with a comparable price, a Tell Me More 10 Level product compared to a Rosetta Stone 5 Level product ought to be a fair comparison, right? It's not even close. The level 3 or 4 that I'm in now in Tell Me More ought to compare with Level 2 in Rosetta Stone, but Rosetta Stone just isn't close.
Tell Me More has so much more intermediate and advanced material than Rosetta Stone. For roughly the same price, the extra content, better features, flexibility and usability just make Tell Me More far better than Rosetta Stone.
Transparent Language makes software for all the languages that Tell Me More is available in, plus a few others.
Transparent Language Premium does quite well on the volume of its content and some of its activities and extra features, but Tell Me More is just too much to compare directly. Where Transparent Language wins is on price, as it is significantly cheaper than Tell Me More. If budget is your biggest concern, and the price of Tell Me More is just too much, Transparent Language Premium is a good software alternative. Overall though, Tell Me More is far superior - much more complete, comprehensive and interactive.
Tell Me More is for the serious student, particularly at the intermediate and advanced levels. I'd like to tell you that I am an expert with this language program and intimately aware of all the possibilities and limitations of it, but I can't. It will be years before I exhaust all the possibilities and content. And that's why I am so excited about Tell Me More. To summarize this Tell Me More review - It is the best language learning software on the market today!

New Territory of Russia
In November, Russia gained a slice of someone else's country. This did not happen through unidentified troops crossing the border, nor through hybrid warfare. Instead, he negotiated his capture in full view and without a single question asked by the United States or the rest of the world.
The fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia for Nagorno-Karabakh preceded annexation. The mountainous region is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but since the 1994 ceasefire between the two nations it has been controlled by ethnic Armenians. The conflict broke out again in September. Two months later, a peace agreement was reached, with Russia as the winner: it brokered a ceasefire that put the Kremlin's ostentatious peacekeeping boots on the ground. America watched idly as this happened.
As the traditional protector of Armenia, Russia had the only advantage to convince Armenia to sign this ceasefire. Upon signing, Yerevan gave up claiming the territories he had occupied within Azerbaijan since 1994 and won nothing – except a ceasefire instead of forced surrender. In exchange for ensuring slightly less humiliation for its ally, Moscow was given a gift and a presence.
In reality – unless the United States is prepared to fully engage in the peace process – Nagorno-Karabakh is now Russia's indefinitely. The Kremlin ostensibly controls the territory for five years, with automatic scrolling for another five, if none of the three parties to the ceasefire oppose it six months before the end of the term.
Russia will certainly not do so. It is now the guardian of a central region for Europe's energy diversification (reducing the role of Russian imports). If the region is strategically important to NATO, that makes it strategically important to the Kremlin.
Armenia, distrusting Azerbaijan, will want the peacekeepers to remain. The short but brutal conflict has conclusively proved that Armenia cannot win militarily and that, therefore, ethnic Armenians must accept the government of Azerbaijan or the protectorate of Russia. Weak and broken, Yerevan finds it less humiliating to accept Russian tutelage in Nagorno-Karabakh, if only to deny an archenemy complete victory. But this is a long-term disaster for Armenians. This means that they are effectively trapped in a Russian embrace. They cannot turn west and they cannot turn east – either diplomatically or for investments – because the Russians are now in charge.
Although traditionally considered by Moscow to be "on the other side", Azerbaijan – due to the warm support of the United States and the EU in recent years – has continuously deepened diplomatic and economic relations with Russia, partly out of necessity and lack of alternatives. However, now, with Russian military boots on the territory of Azerbaijan for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union, Moscow's influence has also become an economic advantage: by militarily securing a transport corridor through Armenia – closed before the cease- fire – for Azerbaijan's Nakhichevan enclave, Russia now controls Azerbaijan's long-sought direct land route from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean and Europe.
The West could certainly have predicted this. That's how it always starts: a footrest soon turns into a footprint. Crimea, Eastern Ukraine, South Ossetia, Abkhazia – the list of examples continues. The Russian presence becomes Russian control: the only logic of Putin's neoczarist ambitions.
In fact, now, just a few weeks after the troops were deployed, the Kremlin is maneuvering: the lines on the maps have started to fold and flex. On the website of the Russian Ministry of Defense, a page shows a map outlining the area where Russian peacekeepers, according to the terms of the agreement, are to be stationed and will have jurisdiction to operate. On December 13, miraculously, the lands they controlled expanded. This was changed back to the original the following day, after diplomatic pressure from Azerbaijan. But this activity shows that Kremlin cartographers are getting creative – and too early in this intervention.
Now rumors about the Russian "passport" in Nagorno-Karabakh are mounting. The fabrication of new demographic realities on the ground, granting citizenship, has been used to maintain influence on the internal affairs of other post-Soviet nations. Since the Russians occupy the area, the Russian state is thanks to enter.
It is a classic in the Kremlin repertoire. It preceded the invasion of Crimea. It happened in two regions of Georgia, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, again before the start of the wars, with Russia coming out as the main beneficiary. More recently, the passport has been aggressively implanted in eastern Ukraine, through an optimized and useful process. The Kremlin predicts that there will be more than a million Russian citizens carrying newly minted documents by the end of the year. In all of these situations, Russia's control is secure.
The passport would mean that a negotiated agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh's final status – which should be some form of autonomy within Azerbaijan, as in Soviet days – will never materialize. Instead, it will become a protectorate with a Russian passport, giving Russia the pretext – or in the Moscow lexicon, the legal right – to enter the region should any imaginary threat arise to its "citizens".
Considering the US-led assistance now being poured into Ukraine after Russian destabilization, it is surprising that more precautionary measures are not being taken in the South Caucasus.
However, there is time for America to intervene: the ceasefire will give way to negotiations for a final peace agreement, with much still to be decided. The United States must oppose the passport completely and widely. American companies must invest in infrastructure and energy projects in the region, in order to limit Russia's leeway. And US-led joint investment initiatives between Armenia and Azerbaijan would help to reduce their dependence on Russia.
It is time for the United States to intensify diplomatic and economic efforts and to reinsert itself in this process. Otherwise, Russia's empire will continue to expand without control.

18/10/2018 Digital challenges: in Namur, we're facing them together!
The University of Namur is witnessing extraordinary growth, both in terms of the number of students, particularly foreign students, young people and adults alike, and as regards the services and infrastructures available to businesses and to society. It applies the '3 As' rule: Accueil, Attractivité et Agilité (Welcome, Attractiveness and Agility).
The digital sector, based on its highly advanced abilities, is without any doubt the best proof of this involvement.
The NADI is an interdisciplinary research centre devoted to digital technology. Its specialist areas are Artificial intelligence, Big Data, huge databases, the collaborative economy, innovation and services, security and privacy, software programs and systems, technology and society, smart cities,… and of course, the ways in which these subjects can support the development of other sectors, in particular the medical sector.
UNamur was a pioneer in computing sciences, creating the first IT faculty in Europe in 1970. The Namur Digital Institute, which brings together over 150 researchers from UNamur, was officially opened on 23 October 2018.
TRAKK itself is currently undergoing a transformation and in around a year's time, it will become a large-scale creative hub ready to welcome all projects, people and organisations from the worlds of art, business, science and new technologies.
In addition to the TRAKK workshops, a regular programme of activities known as DiNam'IC aims to bring the worlds of research, business, associations, culture and the public authorities into contact with one another, specifically within the Namur ecosystem.
11/10: TRAKK – Innov&vous: Change in companies: how should you deal with it?
Throughout the weekend, teams developed innovative ideas and solutions to improve life and connectivity in rural areas during the Hackathon organised by CSLabs and UNamur.
Hackathon results summed up by Regional IT: solutions for anti-waste villages, country doctors and water preservation.
UNamur has 11 research institutes and eight platforms for the benefit of innovative companies.
