Best decision we made so far. During my trips to Korea with family or friends, transport from the airport to our lodging is always the dilemna. Good thing I stumbled upon blacklink. we were able to book a service on the day of our arrival. Our driver, Mr Lee, on time. He was so helpful and very considerate. He inisisted that we go in the car where it warm and that he load our luggage in the van. He was also very patient. We mistakenly put in the wrong address on the registration as we couldnt understand Korean. He didnt drop us off the the wrong place. When that was sorted out, he brought us to our exact accomodation. He also made sure that we met with our host and got in our accomodations safe and sound. Thank you Mr Lee! Will definitely book blacklink again. it was value for our money and very convenient

It was my first time to visit South Korea, and was a bit worried about our transfers from Incheon International Airport to our hotel in Myeongdong as the schedule of our flight will arrive at SoKor quite late. No buses or trains available anymore during that time. Tried checking ride hailing apps but find it too expensive while deals from other travel booking sites but there were a lot of restrictions and add-ons. Good thing I came across Blacklink when I tried searching online. To be honest I was a bit hesitant since it is my first time to use the platform. Apparently, I was immediately relieved because they send email updates from time to time (payment confirmation, assigned driver and vehicle, etc). When we arrived, the driver is patiently waiting for us and assisted us with our luggages politely and willingly. With this, I also booked a vehicle through the platform for our transfer from the hotel to the airport. Will definitely use Blacklink again whenever I go back to South Korea. Great Job! So happy with the service. Plus, it's very efficient and convenient especially if you travel by group. -Carmina, Philippines

Cracking Days Shooting
Nice days shooting over the spaniels today. Had to work hard for their finds but all four worked really well
We've updated our website to make it more easy to keep up to date
Our first trial award!
Yesterday I took part in the North West Counties Field Trials Association Novice Cocker Stake at Blenkinsopp Hall near Haltwhistle. Despite being in Cumbria, a so called local trial, it still took me 2 and a quarter hours to get there. The joys of living in the most inaccessible cul-de-sac in England!
I was out the door around 6:30am for a 9am meet, with the obligatory stop at Southwaite services for a coffee and bacon butty from Greggs before arriving at the meet point around 8:50am. Briefings and the raffle, which I didn't win, were soon out of the way and we were back in the cars to make the short trip to the starting point of the trial.
I was running at number 12 so thought I'd have quite a long wait, however, dogs number 2 and 4 hadn't turned up so it wouldn't be long before I was in. We started the trial in sieves with a rabbit and a few partridges getting up. The early dogs had quite long runs before we reached an area where there were 3 or 4 partridge pens which understandably meant there was a bit more game around.
Dog number 10 was unfortunately put out, I think for failing to find a bird, and I was called over to run under Roy Ellershaw. It was a patch of dense sieves next to a partridge pen and I cast Fern off, immediately powering through with nose down and pace. She soon bumped two partridge up, one of which was shot approximately 20 yards away. It was a runner so Roy told me to send her almost immediately after the fall. She went out straight to it and picked it, she struggled slightly to find me in the number of bodies, or at least I though that's what it was but more of that late, before delivering to hand.
I cast her off again and she flushed another single partridge, sitting up whilst the gun on my right brought it down maybe 15 yards in front. Roy asked John Bailey who was judging the other side if he would like the retrieve as Wayne Parrington who was running under him needed one, so Fern sat patiently whilst that was brought back to hand. At this point Roy turned to me and asked which side of the bed I got out of this morning and I should go an buy a lottery ticket as all the other dogs had had long runs before their finds!
I cast her off again and she flushed 3 partridge, two breaking right and one breaking left, both sides had shots, me and Fern focused on the one on the right which was missed, but it was the one that came down 40 yards to our left that we were to try and get. Neither me or the dog had seen it come down so I sent Fern back to try and get her on the right side of the wind, however she was pulling to the right towards another partridge pen.
I stopped her and it took two redirections to the left before she was in the area, which to her credit as soon as she was she had it on the way back to me in no time at all. Frustratingly she circled me again before delivering, I couldn't put my finger on why this was, she's been fine in terms of delivering to hand. That was my run over under Roy and I was relieved to have got through it. Fern's gears were continually going up and if she'd have had any more flushes I think I'd have struggled to hold her hunting, she's a dog on the edge at times.
The next few dogs again had relatively long runs, some going out for running in and failing on retrieves. It wasn't too long before I was backing up prior to going in under John Bailey. Fran Ardley who was running before me had a long run before finally getting a flush on a rabbit and that was her run done, I was up!!
I've entered a few trials now where John has been one of the judges, and I've never actually lasted long enough to get a run under him, something which I mentioned when I got called up. I let him know that I'd had three flushes and 2 retrieves under Roy and he jokingly put his book away and said "That'll do you". If only it was that easy!
We were again in sieves, slightly less thick this time, and I thought it'd give Fern an opportunity to show herself a bit more and flow. As soon as I cast her off her nose was down, hunting with intent where the rabbit Fran had flushed had run through the sieves. We maybe hunted for a hundred yards or so before we came to the end of the sieve bed. It was lead on and a short walk over to another sieve bed to head back towards the partridge pens.
We had another hunt of 200 yards or so as the only dog as there were only even numbered dogs left, all eyes were on us, before finally flushing a single partridge which was shot around 50 yards out to the left, which was also a runner. "Great" I thought to myself. I sent Fern back as she'd watched it away but pulled to the right towards a partridge pen with birds flapping around in. a quick redirect and she soon picked the bird and was on her way back. She stopped short and put the bird down. "Balls!" I thought to myself. A quick readjust and she came into me, but again circled me before delivering, what was she doing?!?!?!
Handed the bird over to John and that was me done. I'd finished another trial, I was elated. Numbers 14 and 16 again had quite long runs before the trial was declared over, there was to be no run off and it was back to the vehicles for the presentations.
I knew Fern had hunted very well, she was fast, thorough and kept her nose down with a nice action. However, her delivery had gone off the boil today and ultimately that cost me. If she'd have been clean with that I may have been up there.
The dogs were read out from the winner first.
1st: Steve Winspear – Kiltonbeck Cooper
2nd: Simon Ryder – Clarburgh Ben
3rd: Wayne Parrington – Whitebeam Frost Pocket
4th: Hawksbeck Belle –John Park
Certificates of Merit:
Fran Ardley – Crimson Promise
K Gaskell - Lisburn Judy
Frances Brooks - Saxaphone Bounty
Scott Mossop – Creechdale Phoebe of Amberquest
GET IN THERE!!!!! I'd finally got an award. I had to help John out with reading the name out and he said I had to get it changed as it had taken him so long to write it out! I was over the moon. I've persevered with her and this is some reward for all the time, money and effort I've put into getting her this far.
I spoke with Roy and John after the trial and they both couldn't believe she was a bitch because of the power she has and said if the retrieves would have been clean I'd have been up there in the placings, probably not first as Steve Winspears dog was a cut above the rest from what I saw.
The drive home was a happy one once again!! I'm starting to think that number 12 is my lucky number. I was number 12 when I got Guns Choice in the Gwynedd Trial a few weeks ago, I was number 12 yesterday, in my 12th trial with Fern, in December the 12th month of the year. I'm not one for being superstitious but I will now only be running if I'm number twelve in December trials haha!

The month of July always brings a bit of a slowdown for me, only in that I find myself in hotels across the country in the name of Travel Baseball. Currently, I am in a hotel in Atlanta for two weeks waiting out the popup rain storms and the rescheduling of baseball games. What this does allow me to do is get away from the details of operating my everyday life and provide time to ponder important things, such as naming my filly! I have a long list of potential names that I keep on my cell phone. Whenever I am enlightened by a potential name, I jot it down. The list consists of 26 names to date. Over the last several months, I have asked my family members for ideas. Many drives back and forth to the barn with my daughter consist of the name game. It is not easy, naming an animal, right? From the new puppy, to kitten, to potential future super star. My husband and I insert a name potential in to the following, "…..and coming down the stretch, is ___________,……." What name do we want the announcer to be yelling? And of course, there are the actual rules and regulations for naming a Thoroughbred. There are quite a few I have come to find out, which are maintained by The Jockey Club, which I have summarized below: •	A name may be claimed on the Registration Application, on a Name Claiming Form or online. Names cannot be claimed via telephone. Name selections should be listed in order of preference. •	A foal must be named by February 1 of its two-year-old year, otherwise a fee is required. •	You must use the name within one year from the day it was reserved. •	A foal's name may be changed at any time prior to starting in its first race. Ordinarily, no name change will be permitted after a horse has started in its first race or has been used for breeding purposes. •	Names of horses over ten years old may be eligible for use if they are not excluded and have not been used during the preceding five years either for breeding or racing. Names of horses that were never used for breeding or racing may be available for use five years from the date of their death as reported. •	Specific rules: 1. Names must be 18 letters or less (spaces and punctuation marks count as letters); Excluded names: 2. Names consisting entirely of initials such as C.O.D., F.O.B., etc.; 3. Names ending in "filly," "colt," "stud," "mare," "stallion," or any similar horse-related term; 4. Names consisting entirely of numbers. Numbers above thirty may be used if they are spelled out; 5. Names ending with a numerical designation such as "2nd" or "3rd," whether or not such a designation is spelled out; 6. Names of living persons unless written permission to use their name is on file with The Jockey Club; 7. Names of persons no longer living unless approval is granted by The Jockey Club based upon a satisfactory written explanation submitted to the Registrar; 8. Names of racetracks or graded stakes races; 9. Names clearly having commercial, artistic or creative significance; 10. Names that are suggestive or have a vulgar or obscene meaning; names considered in poor taste; or names that may be offensive to religious, political or ethnic groups; 11. Names that appear to be designed to harass, humiliate or disparage a specific individual, group of individuals or entity; 12. Names that are currently active either in racing or breeding; 13. Names of winners in the past 25 years of grade one stakes races; 14. Permanent names. The list of criteria to establish a permanent name is as follows: a. Horses in racing's Hall of Fame; b. Horses that have been voted Horse of the Year; c. Horses that have won an Eclipse Award; d. Horses that have won a Sovereign Award (Canadian Champions); e. Annual leading sire and broodmare sire by progeny earnings; f. Cumulative money winners of $2 million or more; g. Horses that have won the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes, The Jockey Club Gold Cup, the Breeders' Cup Classic or the Breeders' Cup Turf; and h. Horses included in the International List of Protected Names. 15. Names similar in spelling or pronunciation to the classes of names listed above. 16. Names of horses previously recorded in The American Stud Book by the same sire or out of the same dam as the foal for which the attempt is made. 17. Names of horses appearing within the first five generations of the pedigree of the foal for which the attempt is made. And the final rule is that The Jockey Club maintains the ultimate decision-making authority on name approval. So, the clock is ticking with about six months to go to arrive at the perfect name. And being a task master, I find I need to cross this off my list of To Dos sooner than that. Do I name her from a derivative of the sire and dam, Tritap (Tapit/Victory Road) and Skip the Glitter, (Glitterman/Skip A Dare)? I was thinking First Born Tap or Emerald Coast may be good options. What about my dream in all of this – Achieve the Dream or Dream Fulfilled? Or after something financial to tie to my accounting roots – Debitsandcredits or Financial Plan? What about tied to her greyness – Stormy Night or Gracious Grey? Or my books – Height of the Storm? So many options! I haven't yet put any of my ideas through the interactive naming system, so don't know which ones may have already been used, but I figured I would come up with my top ten and go from there. With this all being said, I figured I would see what ideas you all may have – do you have an idea for a name as you all have been a part of my journey? I would love to hear your feedback so feel free to post your name idea in the comments section of the Facebook post at www.facebook.com/triplecrowndreams. I will keep you posted as I whittle down a list!

Ovamo smrducka, neuobičajeno za ovo doba godine, ali najavljuju drastično poboljšanje u nedelju veče.
Samo ti prati koliko će ljudi bit na dočeku njihovom za par dana bez obzira na rezultat. To će ti dovoljno reć.
ivan napisao: Samo ti prati koliko će ljudi bit na dočeku njihovom za par dana bez obzira na rezultat. To će ti dovoljno reć.
Gdje si ti pročitao da sam napisao da ćete biti nesretni? Rekao sam da ćete biti sjebani ako izgubite, tj. da će vam biti žao ukoliko ne pobijedite Francuze, što je i normalno. Kad si u finalu, moraš da se nadaš makar sa druge strane bio 2x jači tim... Na to sam mislio, a ne da ćete biti nesretni, nezadovoljni itd. Normalno je da ćete biti zadovoljni, ali svakako nije isti osjećaj biti prvi i biti drugi. Biti drugi znači da ti je falilo tako malo, tj. samo taj jedan korak, a pogotovo je to značajno kod najvećeg svjetskog sportskog događaja kao što je SP u fudbalu. Biti prvi je ipak nešto posebno, sigurno.
A što se tiče dočeka, to svakako ne namjeravam da pratim.
uhh tek sam sad došao sebi i ne mogu vjerovati!!!
Jebeno finale svjetskog prvenstva! Pa ne moš vjerovat!!!!
Nemam šta reć repki nego SVAKA VAM ČAST!
Čovječe, pa ovo je stvarnost!!! MI SMO U FINALUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
Sve na produžetke smo prošli i svaki put smo lovili zaostatak!!! Ne možeš vjerovati što se događa zadnja 2 tjedna u Rusiji!
Ovakvu borbu, trud, strpljenje nikad nisam vidio u životu kod Hrvatske ni kod jednog hrvatskog kluba. Nikako se nisu predali i nisu izgubili ni jednog trenutka kompas već su svaki put lovili rezultat, vraćali se i na kraju slavili. ZATO SMO TU GDJE JESMO!
Bože hvala ti na još jednom velikom povijesnom trenutku, a bilo ih je u zadnjih 29 godina.
Srce i dusa od ponosa i Hrvatstva boli!
The old man took his cattle up the hill that morning in December 1991, because that's what he did every day, rain or shine, winter or summer. He took his cattle up the hill that morning, and he never came back.
A handful of men in police uniforms arrested him. Whether or not they were legally police officers was moot, and it was also irrelevant: round these parts, power came from the barrel of a gun, not from a piece of paper.
The man's crime was the same crime it always is in places riven by sectarianism: not being one of them. Being the other. Being the enemy. His crime was nothing he'd done: it was who he was. He was Croatian, they were Serbian. That was all there was to it.
The men took him and a few others to the nearby village of Jesenice, and there they were executed. The old man left behind a family whom he loved and who loved him: none more so than his six-year-old grandson with whom he shared a name and from whom he had been practically inseparable, the old man doting on the boy, the boy hero-worshipping his grandfather.
The name they shared was Luka Modric, and this Sunday that small boy, now 32, will lead his country out in the World Cup Final.
Football uses the language of war: strikes, shots, volleys, attacks, defence, bombardment. Modric, like all his countrymen, knows the difference between the real thing and the game: knows too that in Croatia one is always bound up with the other, because between them they are the history of that small, proud nation writ large.
After his grandfather was murdered, Luka's family's house was burned down, and they had to live in a hotel for years: not an expensive comfortable one, but a basic, crumbling one in their hometown of Zadar. When the mortars fell, as they often did, young Luka would sit inside and wait them out: but when the all clear was given, he'd be off playing football in the hotel car park, sometimes with other kids, sometimes on his own. Anything to escape the grim, numbing reality of living in a perpetual state of conflict.
He was a small kid: too small, as it turned out, to be taken on by the local bigwigs Hadjuk Split. He ended up playing aged 18 in the Bosnian league for Zrinjski Mostar, which was where both team-mates and opponents discovered two things about this kid: that he had all the skills you could want, and that he could look after himself too.
Fast forward 15 years, through a journey that has taken him from Dinamo Zagreb via Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid. Even though he still looks like, in the unimprovable words of the Guardian's Barney Ronay, 'a little boy dressed as a witch', he is now one of the best players in the world: a midfielder of fabulous talents, one of the very few who can bend time and space to his will.
And of all those talents, perhaps the greatest is this: that he makes others play better. When the simple pass is the best option, that's what he plays. When he needs to hold the ball for a few moments so his team-mates can get into better positions, that's what he does. When he has to cover back after someone else's mistake, that's what he does.
He's not one of those superstars whose megawattage draws the eye and the play too, whose own presence inhibits the other ten men wearing the same shirt as him. He's the ultimate leader precisely because he doesn't make it all about himself. You won't find him rolling around as though he's just stepped on a landmine, or ripping his shirt off when he scores, or standing there looking haunted when things aren't going his way. He leaves that kind of stuff to Neymar, to Ronaldo, to Messi. They're all home already. He's still there, and so are his team.
And his team love him. When he missed a penalty late in the match against Denmark, his team-mate Ivan Rakitic gathered the others round. 'Listen,' he said. 'Lukita's got us out of more messes than we can count. It's our turn to repay him.' The Croatians put the miss behind them and won the subsequent shoot-out, with Rakitic slotting the winning kick.
But if you want to know what Modric is made of, here it is: only a few minutes after missing that penalty, he'd taken another one in the shoot-out, with the Danish keeper Kaspar Schmiechel in his face trying to put him off. Did he score second time round? Of course he did.
It's hard to understand – no, it's easy to understand, but hard to properly FEEL – what this Croatian side mean to their country. The most famous image in English football history is that of Bobby Moore lifting the World Cup. The most famous image in Croatian football history, by contrast, is that of Zvonimir Boban taking a flying kick at a riot policeman.
Boban was sacked from the Yugoslavia team who went to the World Cup that year. He didn't care. In his own mind he was Croatian, not Yugoslavian, and eight years later he captained Croatia to third place in their very first World Cup. He was leader of a generation of fabulous players - Slaven Bilic, Robert Prosinecki, Davor Suker - who to this day are revered in their country.
In reaching the final, Modric's men have already gone one better than their predecessors. It's fitting that they're playing France: both sides have played three group matches and three knockouts, with Croatia the stars of the group stage and France the best team in the knockouts.
The smart money has to be on France. They are a better team overall, and they have won all their knockout matches in normal time where Croatia have been taken to three consecutive extra times: an additional 90 minutes of football, the equivalent of an entire match more.
My head says a French victory, perhaps even an easy one. But my heart says a Croatian win, for the fairytale of the underdogs, for a proud people forged in war, and most of all for their remarkable captain and the old man after whom he was named.

The NHL just announced two outdoor games on the 18th fairway of Edgewood Tahoe
By Coleman Bentley
What a time to be alive for hockey fans. A month ago, we still weren't sure what sort of horrors Bettman and co. had cooked up for us in 2021 (if any at all), and now here we stand on the precipice of all hockey, all the time. Glory be.
RELATED: This compilation of NHL players using the same cliches is the funniest video you'll see today
But it's not just the prospect of actual, honest-to-goodness, non-bubble pucks that has us belting "Oh Canada!" at the top of our lungs, however. It's also the NHL's announcement on Monday, amidst the Wild Card clean up and National Championship hubbub, of two outdoor games set to go down on the shores of Lake Tahoe NEXT MONTH. If that doesn't get you sparked for a Labatt and gravy on your french fries, maybe this scenic computer rendering will.
RELATED: Team USA won the World Junior Hockey Championships and then celebrated with a trash can with Team Canada's logo on it
Savvy golf fans among us may recognize that as roughly the 18th fairway of Edgewood Tahoe, which hosts the American Celebrity Championship each summer. The Dallas Stars' Joe Pavelski finished third in that event back in 2018, but this year it will be Nathan McKinnon taking center ice when the Colorado Avalanche take on the Las Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, February 20th. The Eastern Conference then gets its turn on Sunday the 21st, with the Bruins taking on the Flyers. All four teams will sport their Reverse Retro threads, in case you needed even more incentive to tune in.
Adding to the prevailing pond hockey vibe is the fact that no fans will be in attendance. Perhaps that's putting too positive a spin on what is obviously a big compromise, but with the 2021 Winter Classic and Stadium Series game now officially cancelled, we'll take whatever the outdoor pucks gods will give us.

The Last Days of Shoreditch – Finale Interview
It was always on the cards, the clue, of course, was in the name, yes it really is the last days of The Last Days of Shoreditch and it's finally time to say goodbye after 8 long and eventful years.
Located in a formerly derelict 30,000 sq ft space on the intersection between Shoreditch and Old Street, Last Days of Shoreditch and Red Gallery have fostered and celebrated a community of creativity and collaboration for the last eight years. Where it has spearheaded a movement that has helped make East London the cultural and economic powerhouse it is today. It's also well known as a place of fun and entertainment in East London, with ever-changing themes. This summer was The Enchanted Garden, which filled the space with a tropical beach area, swinging hammock beds, a tree-house, specially commissioned sound installations and more.
There's a sense of irony that this now iconic venue is to be replaced with a swanky hotel, more so after we spoke to Ernesto, the founder and CEO of Red Gallery and The Last Days of Shoreditch (Watch the full interview with Ernesto above). Some of his first memories of Shoreditch were back when it was practically impossible to get a pint of milk in 1991, you had to get a bus to a petrol station. It's hard not to notice the difference, as Shoreditch is constantly evolving and growing almost like a living thing.
So while Ernesto has been building spaces since he was about 14, and this arguably is his most successful to date, he's not sad and feels it's time to move on. They've had a great run after all. That said, he seemed genuinely surprised by the outpouring of support and sadness at what is the end of an era.
I doubt he would call the hotel that will replace its progress, and nor would I, but it's far from a surprise either. You can tell he's happy with the run they've had and I doubt he would have called it the Last Days of Shoreditch if he knew it would last so long. Yet the name feels more poignant now than it perhaps did back then.
The sad truth is that big money and large corporations are drawn to the very places that they often end up replacing, or put out of business. That's not to say that Ernesto hates them, far from it. He was very positive about the many he's worked with over the years. Many of the things they have been able to do has been possible because of such collaborations.
Does he feel that the success of what he and others like him have been able to achieve in East London (not forgetting, of course, the great team behind he's had behind him), has contributed to the draw of money Shoreditch and the gentrification? It's a side effect for sure, but it's much better to have had these things, than not at all.
Making a space that welcomes families as much as 'lads on the town' and making it work is no mean feat, but somehow The Last Days of Shoreditch have achieved this. Though many will likely know it for the big DJ's, amazing art, constantly evolving art and that giant yellow mushroom which he's still very fond of.
For me, it felt like an oasis from the crazy and seemingly relentlessness of Shoreditch. Within minutes of walking through those doors, the life outside peels away and no longer matters. There are a few places that I can think of that has that effect.
What about the future of Shoreditch? Ernesto was a bit more downbeat, the money men lack the culture or thinking beyond just the money. They need to do more to soak it in and understand what makes Shoreditch tick. Whatever they build or open needs to tap into that. Just another chain restaurant or hotel does nothing for the area and it's not what it needs.
For his next project, he wants to go bigger and have more of a focus on performing arts. While he didn't say where exactly, he spoke enthusiastically about going further east or northeast, where he believes that there are huge opportunities to build and invent new spaces.
I for one will be sad to see the doors close for the last time. It's not actually the last days of Shoreditch, perhaps more the beginning of the end. One thing's for sure, it will never be the same, but that's okay because for all it's many positives and negatives Shoreditch never stands still. It's always evolving and means many different things to different people!
I'm looking forward to what he does next and I'm hoping it's bigger and better. So raise a glass to an institution, either there on the last day (Sunday 29th July 2018) or where ever you might be.
Join them for fun, food, drinks and Funk & Soul and House Music. £5 per ticket.

If the Book of Revelation is the Book of Sevens, then Genesis 41 is the Chapter of Sevens.
There are seven well-fed cows, and seven gaunt cows.
There are seven plump heads of grain on one stalk, and seven thin heads.
The seven well-fed cows represent seven years of plenty, and the seven gaunt cows represent seven years of famine.
The seven plump heads of grain represent seven years of plenty, and the seven thin heads represent seven years of famine.
God gave a dream of the cows to Pharaoh of Egypt to show what was coming, and God gave a second dream to show the same seven years of plenty and the same seven years of famine.
"And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass" (Genesis 41.32).
Since God repeated the dreams, and since God was setting the whole thing up, there is no doubt that He had something special in mind with the number seven, showing a complete cycle of events that He used to free Joseph from prison, to place him in a position of power by interpreting the dreams for Pharaoh, and that Joseph might bring his family to Egypt until such time that the Lord would prepare the Land of Canaan for the Israelites.
The sevens in this case show God working in world events, manipulating them for His own purposes.

Blog 2015 July Ukiah Valley Medical Center's ...
Ukiah Valley Medical Center's Demolition Celebration Marks Milestone in Campus Expansion Plan
Jul 30, 2015 Event
Ukiah, CA – It was a cool, crisp ordinary Monday morning on July 27, 2015, as 80 community members, physicians, and employees gathered at Ukiah Valley Medical Center (UVMC) for an anything but ordinary celebration – to watch a building be demolished and say their goodbyes by writing on the wall and then take turns swinging at the building with sledgehammers.
Prior to the demolition, President and CEO of UVMC, Gwen Matthews, reflected on the complexities of the make ready work that led to this point along with the poignant passage from Scripture, "There is a season for everything under the heavens…There is a time to tear down and a time to build up," which was echoed by Chaplain Greg Harper, director of spiritual Care at UVMC.
After Matthews finished her introductions, Ernie Wipf of Wipf Construction approached the building with an excavator and took a bite out of the wall of the building where medical imaging records, materials management, information technology, and telephone operators were previously housed.
David Weis, AVP of Operations at UVMC, then proceeded to introduce and invite representative employees who have given to the emergency department (ED) and intensive care unit (ICU) expansion project to take their swings. Among those was Brenda Lee, executive assistant at UVMC who shared, "It was quite exhilarating, I really didn't know how I was going to feel, but smashing into the walls really gave me a personal sense that I had contributed to something great, and that something even better is being built for our community!"
After the employees had a chance to take a crack at the building, UVMC Patient Care Executive Heather Van Housen, introduced major representative physician donors, Charlie Evans, M.D., UVMC chief of staff and emergency physician, Hershel Gordon, M.D., pathologist, and Ziad Hanna, D.O., general and bariatric surgeon, Jeremy Mann, M.D., chief medical officer for NCN ambulatory services and pediatrician, who had an opportunity to take part in the chaos.
Dr. Evans shared, "This is a step forward in the right direction, and it is a great addition to the hospital as it progresses as a medical center. Likewise, Dr. Gordon, who has been providing care for 42 years said, "It really feels like this is the beginning of a great new ED and ICU, and I'm glad the process is under way." Dr. Hanna also said, "The event was extremely personal for me. I felt bad at first because there's so much history in this place, but since we're here to build it back up, I was also happy to be a part of the new era of health care for our community." Dr. Mann agreed, "It was a wonderful event to mark the beginning of our long-awaited campus expansion. Swinging the sledgehammer was rather difficult as I believe the walls of that old building had become petrified!"
For some in attendance the idea of a demolition celebration was a new concept, "I've been to many ground breakings," said Charles Ackerley, of Jennings Ackerley Architecture and Design of San Francisco, the architect behind the design of the project, "but this is the first time that I have ever taken part in a demolition celebration!" Mr. Ackerley came to the event with hardhat and golden sledgehammer, ready to do some damage.
To wrap up the event Allyne Brown, director of philanthropy said, "It was very important to us that the community, physicians and employees had a chance to celebrate this milestone. They were part of making this project a reality." Community donors who participated in the festivities included Ed Berry, Bonnie Carter, Suzie Hardie, Francine Selim and Ken McBurney of Friedman's Home Improvement.
The demolition is yet another sign of progress in the $41 million campus expansion project, of which $3.75 million was raised by community members, physicians, and employees. Scheduled to be completed next year, the project will expand the current emergency department to 19 private rooms and eight private rooms for intensive care. Construction also includes a rooftop helipad to provide easy access for emergency helicopters. To learn more about philanthropic opportunities at UVMC please contact Allyne Brown at (707) 463-7623.

Edmund Bristow (1787-1876)
Bristow was born in Eton, Berkshire, the son of an heraldic painter. At an early age he was patronised by the Princess Elizabeth, the Duke of Clarence (afterwards William IV), and others. He made sketches of well-known characters in Eton and Windsor, painted still life, interiors, and domestic and sporting subjects. He had great sympathy with animals, some power of rendering their characteristic movements and expressions, and is said to have been a friend of and given advice to Sir Edwin Landseer.
In 1809 he exhibited a painting, "Smith shoeing a Horse", at the Royal Academy, and was an occasional exhibitor there and at the British Institution, and Society of British Artists, until the year 1838, when he exhibited the "Donkey Race" at the latter's gallery in Suffolk Street.
Bristowe was an eccentric man of independent spirit and worked only when the spirit moved him – not to order. He sometimes refused even to sell his finished works. He excelled in the drawing of monkeys, cats, and horses. His works tended to be small in scale, well observed and with great attention to detail. Many of his works were bought by private collectors in the local area. Amongst his paintings may be mentioned: 'Monkey Pugilists,' 'Cat's Paw,' 'Law and Justice,' 'Incredulity,' 'The Rehearsal,' 'Pros and Cons of Life.' Engravings of a few of his works appeared in The Sporting Magazine and elsewhere.
Bristow produced little during the fifteen years immediately preceding his death, which took place at Eton on 12 February 1876, at the age of 89.

The Ukrainian government has officially condemned Syria's recognition of the breakaway autonomous states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Pavlo Klimkin, Foreign Minister of Ukraine, posted this on Twitter.
'I decisively blame the fact that the Syrian regime recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. We remain committed to supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with our Georgian friends. The gans of Russia's sidekicks is far too famous now', the post reads.
On May 29, Syria officially recognized the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, establishing diplomatic relations with them. In return, Tbilisi broke the diplomatic contacts with Damascus.

Q: Kafka message timestamps for request/response I am building a performance monitoring tool which works in a cluster with Kafka topics.
For example, I am monitoring two topics: request, response. I.e. I need to have two timestamps - one from request and another from response. Then I could calculate difference to see how much time spent in a service which received a request and produced a response.
Please take in the account that it is working on a cluster, so different components may run on different hosts, hence - different physical clocks - so they could be out-of-sync and it will distort results significantly.
Also, I could not reliably use the clock of the monitoring tool itself, as this will influence timing results by its own processing times.
So, I would like to design a proper way which is reliably calculate time difference. What is most reliable way to measure time difference between two events in Kafka?

A: Solution 1:
We had similar problem before and solution we had was setting up NTP ( network time protocol).
In this one of your node act as NTP server and runs demons to keep time in sync across all your nodes we kept UTC and all other nodes has NTP clients which kept same time across all the servers
Solution 2:
Build a clock common  API for all your components which will provide current time. This will make your system design independent of node local clock.

With whom do you connect in the story of Jonah?
Maybe you feel like the sailors who don't seem to recognize God until they are desperate for help and their troubles are looking like they might swallow them up.
Maybe you feel like the people of Nineveh before Jonah's visit: lost in sin and needing someone to speak God's truth into your life. After Jonah's visit they were humble and repentant. Is that what you are feeling right now?
Maybe you feel more like God: you desperately want people to know your love, but it seems no one wants to listen to you.
I am afraid that all too often I identify with Jonah, the spoiled brat, who wants God to follow my plan and stop urging me to do things that are outside my comfort zone. I want God to forgive me and to punish those whose behavior angers me. I want to go my own way and ignore the call that God places on my heart because it looks challenging and it is not at all what I had in mind for my life.
Somehow I think Jonah and I are related! I recognize in Jonah my own bad attitude. I spend my energy feeling sorry for myself instead of doing what God has told me that I should be doing. I wallow in my own bitterness. Why would God even choose to use someone who is so defiant?
In Jonah I see my own disobedience. Jonah acts like a spoiled teenager who is angry that he did not get his way. Most days I think my behavior must look like that to God. Like Jonah, I choose my own agenda over God's and fail to follow the compassion that God has for even those who are most difficult to love.
Almost all of creation behaves obediently in the story. The wind and waves, the vine, the worm, even the pagan sailors and the evil city turn obediently to God. The only one who struggles with obedience is the one who claims to follow God. Not such a great witness!
Lord deal as patiently with me as you persevered with Jonah. Teach me the joy of obedience and redirect me from my agenda to yours.
Lord, forgive me for my defiance and my rotten attitude. Help me to stop feeling sorry for myself and to follow you willingly with a cheerful heart. In Jesus name, Amen.


-Do you remember the first day you met Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson?
"Of course. It's not very common to remember the first impression of the person, but I do remember what it was like for those two. They are very special.
I met Taylor first. He was very young at that time. He seemed so young that I felt like I should protect him. This might sound presumptuous since now I feel there's not much age gap between us, but back then, I felt that way. Just being with him will make you smile… he was just like Jacob. I felt really comfortable around him from the start. It felt like I've known him for a long time.

Long Branch Housing Authority, Long Branch, NJ, Did Not Properly Handle Income and Expenses Related to Agreements With Other Housing Agencies
2022-NY-1003
2022-NY-1003.pdf
We audited the Long Branch Housing Authority based on the results of our previous audits of the Asbury Park and Red Bank Housing Authorities, which received management services and technical assistance from Long Branch for several years. The objective of the audit was to determine whether Long Branch properly handled income and expenses associated with its agreements with Asbury Park and Red Bank in accordance with requirements.
Long Branch did not properly handle income and expenses related to services provided under agreements with two other public housing agencies. Specifically, it improperly accounted for more than $2.2 million as non-Federal funds. Additionally, it did not properly allocate and support base payroll expenses and maintain adequate documentation to substantiate incentive payments. This condition occurred because Long Branch improperly considered itself to be a contractor and did not have adequate controls to ensure compliance with Federal requirements. As a result, HUD did not have assurance that $1.5 million in incentives paid from agreement income was eligible and reasonable, and nearly $700,000 in unspent agreement income that had not been used continued to improperly reside in a Long Branch account. Additionally, HUD did not have assurance that an estimated $1 million in base payroll expenses was paid from the proper funds, and any Long Branch program funds used were not available to benefit its own residents.
We recommend that HUD require Long Branch to (1) provide support to show the reasonableness and eligibility of the $1.5 million in employee incentives paid from agreement income or reimburse its program for any amount it cannot support, (2) provide support for a reasonable estimate of employee time used to perform services for the two agencies and reimburse its program for any program funds improperly used for those expenses, and (3) implement adequate controls to ensure that it properly classifies income received under any future agreements or activities and to ensure compliance with applicable cost principle requirements in the future. Additionally, we recommend that HUD make a determination regarding nearly $700,000 in outstanding agreement income, including whether those unspent funds should be returned to the public housing agencies.

Commentaries General Archives Movie of the Week Reviews Women on Film
AWFJ Movie of the Week, Dec. 1-7: WILD
December 1, 2014 December 9, 2014 Nikki Baughan	0 Comments	anne brodie, Gaby Hoffman, Jean-Marc Vallee, jennifer merin, Laura Dern, maryann johanson, nell minow, Pam Grady, reese witherspoon, Sandra Kraisirideja, Sheila Roberts
Opening Dec. 3, the AWFJ Movie of the Week is Wild, Jean-Marc Vallee's follow-up to 2013's Dallas Buyers Club, which won stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively (and was also nominated for Best Picture). Expect similar accolades for Reese Witherspoon, as critics are calling her lead performance one of the best of her career. She takes the role of real-life hiker Cheryl Strayed, who embarked on an 1,100 mile solo trek along the challenging Pacific Crest Trail in a bid to overcome the untimely death of her mother. It's a raw and honest turn from Witherspoon, who also produced the film, showcasing both her natural talent and impressive dramatic range. Read on…
In adapting Strayed's memoir, Nick Hornby has brought both Cheryl's story and her character to vivid life, both though her solitary, reflective journey and through her relationship with her late mother (played by the great Laura Dern). And Vallee handles the story with the skill we've come to expect, embracing both the expanse of nature and the intimate emotional conflicts that Strayed must overcome. A fascinating story told entirely from the perspective of a thoroughly interesting woman, Wild is one of the year's very best.
AWFJ Movie of the Week Panelists Comments:
MaryAnn Johanson: My pick is Wild, an extraordinary film that doesn't depict simply one woman's outdoor adventure but illuminates a particularly female perspective on the world that I don't think any movie has ever shown before.
Nell Minow: Wild: Reese Witherspoon as producer and star seems like exactly the right person to bring this external and internal journey story to screen.
Pam Grady: Reese Witherspoon delivers one of her finest performances as a woman seeking to find herself during a perilous sole hike in Wild, Jean-Marc Vallee's soulful adaptation of Cheryl Strayed's acclaimed memoir.
Anne Brodie: Wild is an extraordinary experience, a spiritual and emotional coming of age for a mourning daughter set against nature. A perfect film from Jean-Marc Vallée and awards-worthy performance from Reese Witherspoon.
Jennifer Merin: Wild puts best-selling author Cheryl Strayed's eponymous memoir on the big screen. Reese Witherspoon plays the diarist who hikes solo along the Pacific Crest Trail, a 1000 mile treacherous but scenic mountain trek. Her goal is to test herself and to overcome her addictions and other self-destructive habits. Witherspoon's well-paced performance traverses all the highs and lows of Strayed's journey. The film is at once gripping and inspirational. The cinematography is great. We have here an epic journey of self discovery.
Sheila Roberts: My recommendation is Wild, director Jean-Marc Vallee's impressive follow-up to last year's "Dallas Buyers Club." It's a compelling film about determination, rebirth and taking the road less traveled featuring a terrific performance by Reese Witherspoon. Inspired by a true story of personal triumph, Nick Hornby's script and Witherspoon's portrayal of Cheryl Strayed and her 1,100 mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail are refreshing in the way they refuse to play into stereotypes.

DEFINITION PLEASE – Review by Carol Cling January 18, 2022


Earlier this year, only a few months after Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa opened, my sister and I booked a getaway there.
We wanted to see if the 178-room seaside retreat, one of the newest additions to the Opal Collection - an exclusive ensemble of luxury hotels - would live up to all the positive buzz it had generated.
On a site once home to a Holiday Inn, the Jensen Beach resort boasts a popular oceanfront restaurant; two pools; a signature spa; state-of-the-art event space; and a magnificent beach location ideal for sunbathing, swimming in the surf and strolling barefoot along the shore.
Hutchinson Shores is a far cry from that old inn, which was destroyed by Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne in 2004. The building sat vacant for years and fell into disrepair. Some locals even believed it was haunted.
But we won't dwell on the past, especially when the future remains so bright - and the only spirits to be found at Hutchinson Shores are in the form of alcoholic beverages at the Drift Kitchen & Bar, with its stylish lounge and chef's bar. It's a perfect contemporary setting to gather with friends to toast a day in paradise.
The resort has two other popular drinking spots: Reflections Pool Bar, which is, as its name suggests, beside one of the two pools, and the Dune Beach Bar, by the lap pool and the beach. Both serve drinks and light bites.
When it comes time to truly dine, guests will want to visit Drift Kitchen, which offers fresh seafood, Italian specialties, cocktails and a carefully curated wine list. The restaurant, popular among hotel guests and locals alike, delivers postcard-perfect views of the Atlantic Ocean. During season, which is when we visited, it's a good idea to make reservations.
We arrived at the hotel several hours before dinner and entered through an architecturally gorgeous lobby with a grand floating staircase and other elegant features, including a living green wall, a giant sand sculpture and an artistic chandelier with two huge sailfish (a nod to the area's rich fishing history) and dozens of small glass fish.
Throughout the hotel, designers used a calming palette of natural colors and driftwood accents with modern touches. A giant driftwood table imported from Ireland serves as the reservation post at Drift restaurant.
Guest rooms are a blend of beachside retreat and nautical luxury, with bold navy-and-white-striped drapes and bleached hardwood floors. To conserve energy, guests use a room card to turn on the lights, and the AC goes off when sliding doors to the patio are open.
Our room, with a pool view, was ready when we arrived. Had we arrived earlier in the day, we would have taken advantage of the Opal Club, a relaxing space outside the lobby where guests can gather while their rooms are being prepared. The club offers a vanity and towels for guests who want to waste no time getting to the beach or pool.
Because we have encountered noisy ice machines at other hotels, we requested a room away from any. But we didn't have to worry. At Hutchinson Shores, a fully stocked pantry is available on each floor with individually packaged ice and bottled water. Fresh fruit is provided in the mornings, and chocolate chip cookies are available in the evenings.
The property is so lovely that guests may not want to leave at all during their visit. But, if they do, there are many attractions in the area, including eco-adventures, museums, and eclectic shopping and dining in downtown Stuart.
History buffs won't want to miss Gilbert's Bar and House of Refuge, one of the most photographed sites on Hutchinson Island. Built in 1876, it is Martin County's oldest structure and one of 10 Houses of Refuge built along Florida's coast in the late 1800s. Docent tours are offered and recommended.
Since our stay at Hutchinson Shores, the property has added a weekly activities program that includes shell collecting, sand- castle-building contests, corn hole competitions, dive-in movies, yoga and evening drum circles on the beach. The Opal Spa at Hutchinson Shores has expanded its services and offers signature massages, facials, reflexology sessions and body treatments.
Hutchinson Shores Resort & Spa is located at 3793 N.E. Ocean Blvd., Jensen Beach. For more information, call 877-502-4653 or visit hutchinsonshores.com.

Q: siddhi gpl execution geo extension distance function is throwing datatype error I am trying to create a siddhi application where it adds output when a person is in proximity to certain preset locations. These locations are stored in the database. The input is sent from postman as of now.
But I keep getting the error saying the datatype is not 'double'. I have even checked the table details and the datatype in mysql table is set to double.
Following are the details for siddhi code and the error.
Can someone please guide me.
location for the siddhi extension:

Alternatively I've also tried to cast the latitude from table into double in the query.

Can you verify whether o.latitude can become null?


An SUV with F1 tech? Sign us up.
Ever since Volvo introduced the second generation XC90 back in 2015, we have been extremely impressed. The most powerful variant of the XC90 is the T8 Twin Engine plug-in hybrid model, which produces 400 horsepower from a 2.0-liter twin-charged four-cylinder with a hybrid system and yields an impressive electric driving of 19 miles. Volvo is now refreshing the XC90 for the 2020 model year and the biggest addition is a Formula 1-style kinetic energy recovery braking system. That's right, you can now buy a luxury SUV with technology from F1.
Volvo says its new energy recovery system, which will be sold under its new 'B' badge, offers up to 15% fuel and emissions reductions in real-world driving. The new brake-by-wire system recovers kinetic energy under braking and stores it for later use. In a press release, Volvo said, "The introduction of the new XC90 'B'-badged cars represents a major step for Volvo Cars towards its electrification ambitions."
Volvo says it will also offer the system on all 60 and 90 Series cars, meaning other models like the S60, V60, S90, V90, and XC60 will have their own 'B' branded variants.
We know Volvo is planning to introduce an EV model based on the XC40 and another EV called the Polestar 2, so this new braking technology could come in handy for both cars. For now, the energy recovery system will only be available on the twin-engine T8 models with electrification, not the gas-only T5 and T6 variants.
To complement the new energy recovery system, this 2020 facelift also includes subtle exterior changes including new wheels (in 21- and 22-inch sizes), new exterior colors, and a new grille. Volvo will continue to offer the luxurious four-seat Excellence variant, the more practical seven-seat model, and a new six-seat variant.
The 2020 Volvo XC90 will go into production in May at the Torslanda plant in Sweden but Volvo says the new 'B' badge won't available in the United States at this time.

In my article in Jacobin last week on the phrase "officer-involved shooting," I wrote about how, for police and their spokespeople, wordy sophistry is a kind of tradecraft. The phrase "officer-involved shooting" obscures meaning and deflects agency through a performance of dispassionate, bloodless authority, by which many journalists seem easily seduced. For this reason, police are invested in policing the language others use to describe the work they do.
According to the law of the streets where these assaults occur, there is no "unarmed" individual.

Besides why waste your time, we've heard it all many times on this NG.
Thanks for proving that mountain bikers aren't interested in FACT.

this subject line was only to attack bikers, not to promote your issue.
you have became so obsessed with it you have lost contact with reality.
That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

Fox's War on Paganism
The news network that every, bleedin' year goes on and on about the "war on Christmas" has never had much interest in the religious holidays of other, non-Christian faiths. As Jon Stewart famously said to Bill O'Reilly, "If you think Christmas isn't celebrated in this country, walk a mile in Hanukkah's shoes."
Fox did, however, go out of its way to marginalize Wiccan and Pagan holidays. In fact, they were outright derisive.
The trouble started last year when the University of Missouri added the eight sabbats of the Pagan year to the university's holiday guide. Graduate student Christopher White was not amused by the move towards inclusiveness and took to The College Fix to complain
The Wiccan and pagan festivals are listed right alongside major religious holidays such as Easter, Christmas, Ramadan, and several other Jewish and Buddhist observances.
Their inclusion in the religion guide may be considered an indication by some of the mainstreaming of Wiccan and pagan beliefs in America.
While the percentages of Mainline American Christians have declined over the past twenty years, from 86.2 percent in 1990 to 76 percent in 2008, they still, in terms of percentage, dwarf the 1.2 percent of American Wiccans and Pagans, according to the American Religious Identification Survey of 2008. These statistics beg the question: why put both Christianity and Wiccans in equipollency?
Not only does the, ahem, graduate student misuse the phrase "begs the question," he apparently doesn't understand that here, in these United States, our rights aren't contingent on majority status. And even if they were, one wonders why Jews at 2.1% of the population deserve to be in the university guide, but Pagans at 1.2% don't. Yes, Judaism comes in at a very distant second to Christianity. Wicca, by the way, is the fifth largest religion, putting it ahead of Buddhism, which White also considers legitimate enough to be in the holiday guide. So I don't know what Mr. White is studying there at the University of Missouri but one assumes it's requires no working knowledge of Constitutional law, logic, or statistics.
Fox News, which has apparently given up fact-checking entirely, took the ignorance wide. They erroneously deduced that this meant that these would all be vacation days and students would no longer need to "cram for exams" on Pagan holidays, prompting a stern correction from the university. From there it was pretty much open season on the "fringe belief systems" that those kooks in Missouri strangely consider legitimate enough to be in a calendar.
Tammy Bruce described the decision as "beyond political correctness; it's almost like an excuse to do nothing. It's like social nihilism, where nothing matters."
Honoring Pagan holidays, according to Bruce is "less about elevating other religions and other individuals and more about diluting the dynamic about what's important in people's lives," which I think is her way of saying that including Pagan holidays is all part of the "war on Christmas."
If you can suffer through the video above, you'll hear Bruce explain that respecting Pagan holidays is exploitative... of Pagans. Pagans and Wiccans "should be very angry at how they're being used by the establishment," says Bruce, "to downgrade what's important to the majority of Americans."
Dizzy yet?
Tucker Carlson seemed to find the whole thing too trivial and geeky to be threatening.
"Any religion whose most sacred day is Halloween, I just can't take seriously," Carlson said on the Feb. 17 broadcast of "Fox and Friends" weekend show that touched off the controversy. "I mean, call me a bigot."
"Every Wiccan I've ever known is either a compulsive deep Dungeons and Dragons player or is a middle-aged, twice-divorced older woman living in a rural area who works as a midwife," he said.
Two petitions totaling more than 40,000 signatures, a Facebook page demanding an apology, and outrage on the Missouri campus later, Carlson apologized... twice.
Once on Twitter:
Two days after the Feb. 17 show, Carlson apologized on Twitter: "To Wiccans and pagans: Sorry for my pointlessly nasty remarks. Your holidays still confuse me, but you seem like nice people."
And later, on the show:
"Comments in the story offended a number of people -- that was never my intention," Carlson said on the show Saturday (Feb 23). "I also violated one of my basic life rules, which is live and let live. The Wiccans have never bothered me or tried to control my life. I should have left them alone. Sorry about that."
To my knowledge, no one else from Fox News has apologized.

Q: Thread safety in C# lambdas I came across a piece of C# code like this today:
lock(obj)
{
  //  perform various operations
  ...

  //  send a message via a queue but in the same process, Post(yourData, callback)
  messagingBus.Post(data, () =>
  {
    //  perform operation
    ...
    if(condition == true)
    {
      //  perform a long running, out of process operation
      operation.Perform();
    }
  }
}

My question is this: can the callback function ever be invoked in such a way as to cause the lock(obj) to not be released before operation.Perform() is called?  i.e., is there a way that the callback function can be invoked on the same thread that is holding the lock, and before that thread has released the lock?
EDIT:  messagingBus.Post(...) can be assumed to be an insert on to a queue, that then returns immediately.  The callback is invoked on some other thread, probably from the thread pool.
For the operation.Perform() you can read it as Thread.Sleep(10000) - just something that runs for a long time and doesn't share or mutate any state.

A: I'm going to guess.
Post in .net generally implies that the work will be done by another thread or at another time.
So yes, it's not only possible that the lock on obj will be released before Perform is called, it's fairly likely it will happen.  However, it's not guaranteed.  Perform may complete before the lock is released.
That doesn't mean it's a problem.   The "perform various actions" part may need the lock.  messagingBus may need the lock to queue the action.   The work inside may not need the lock at all, in which case the code is thread safe.
This is all a guess because there's no notion of what work is being done, why it must be inside a lock, and what Post or perform does.   So the code may be perfectly safe, or it may be horribly flawed.

A: Without know what messagingBus.Post is doing, you can't tell.  If Post invokes the delegate it is given (the lambda expression in your example) then the lock will be in place while that lambda executes.  If Post schedules that delegate for execution at a later time, then the lock will not be in place while the lambda executes.  It's not clear what the the lock(obj) is for, to lock calls to messagingBus.Post, or what...  Detailing the type (including full namespace) of the messagingBus variable would go a long way to providing better details.

A: If the callback executes asynchronously, then yes, the lock may still be held when Perform() unless Post() does something specific to avoid that case (which would be unusual).
If the callback was scheduled on the same thread as the call to Post() (e. g. in the extreme example where the thread pool has only 1 thread), a typical thread pool implementation would not execute the callback until the thread finishes it's current task, which in this case would require it releasing the lock before executing Perform().

A: It's impossible to answer your question without knowing how messagingBus.Post is implemented. Async APIs typically provide no guarantee that the callback will be executed truly concurrently. For example, .Net APM methods such as FileStream.BeginRead may decide to perform the operation synchronously, in wich case the callback will be executed on the same thread that called BeginRead. Returned IAsyncResult.CompletedSynchronously will be set to true in this case.

Century Media, in conjunction with Sony Legacy will reissue the 1991 Combat Records thrash metal classic, Idolatry by Corpus Christi, TX thrashers, DEVASTATION on December 16th. Produced and mixed by legendary knobsman, Scott Burns (Sepultura, Obituary), the band's third full length and swansong LP is considered an extreme metal classic, known to ardent fans and hugely influential on today's wave of thrashers including fellow Texans, Power Trip. Formed in 1986, DEVASTATION forged a sizable rep, winning over crowds and sharing stages with the likes of Sepultura, Dark Angel and Demolition Hammer. While DEVASTATION would temporarily call it a day in 1991, their legend has echoed loudly throughout the metal community. Their self-released 1987 LP Violent Termination and 1989's Combat debut, Signs of Life installed the quintet as a contender in the then-swelling thrash underground and set the stage for Idolatry. While the band called it quits in 1991, amidst changing popular tastes, their influence and popularity has only grown over time.
Idolatry [LP]
Artist: Devastation
Vinyl - Indie Exclusive
1. Deliver The Suffering
2. Freewill
3. Forsaken Hatred
4. Souls Of Sacrifice
5. Idolatry

USC sued over clinic gynecologist accused of misconduct
Four former University of Southern California students sued the school and an ex-campus gynecologist who they accuse of molesting patients over decades as a "serial sexual predator," according to a court filing Monday.
Dr. George Tyndall routinely made crude comments, took inappropriate photographs and forced the plaintiffs to strip naked and groped them under the guise of medical treatment for his "sexual gratification," the civil lawsuit said.
Tyndall, who worked at a USC clinic for 30 years, denied wrongdoing in interviews with the Los Angeles Times. He didn't return phone calls and it wasn't known Monday if he has an attorney.
The complaint accuses the university of failing to properly respond to complaints about Tyndall. USC said in a statement that it was aware of the lawsuit.
"We are focused on ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students and providing support to those affected," the statement said.
The Times reported Friday that USC received about 200 complaints from former patients and that the school is planning to forward some of those reports to the Los Angeles Police Department. The LAPD hadn't opened a criminal investigation into Tyndall as of midday Monday, said Officer Drake Madison.
Tyndall continued to examine young women even though he was the subject of complaints that started years ago, according to the newspaper. The complaints against Tyndall include claims of inappropriate remarks about patients' bodies and inappropriate touching during pelvic exams.
Tyndall was suspended with pay in 2016 and resigned with a confidential financial settlement in 2017, the paper reported.
The lawsuit alleges the school agreed to the settlement to keep quiet the details of an internal investigation that found Tyndall "routinely made sexually and racially inappropriate remarks to patients, kept a secret box full of photographs of his patients' genitals."
The suit seeks unspecified damages.
In a letter last week to the university community, USC President C.L. Max Nikias stated he read reports from Tyndall's patients over "many difficult hours" and that it left him profoundly disturbed.
"He should have been removed and referred to the authorities years ago," he wrote. "Once again, I want to personally apologize to any student who visited our student health center and was made to feel uncomfortable in any way. You deserved better, and we let you down."
The university fired Dr. William Leavitt, the clinic's top doctor, and Tammie Akiyoshi, the clinic's director.

it seems that Flow completed. but i check partyB database ,there is no data in vault_states table .
why?
ps.i knew how to use com.r3.corda.lib.tokens.workflows.flows.rpc.IssueTokens flow

A: The holder is not a required signer when issuing tokens; try removing the CollectSignaturesFlow and SignTransactionFlow calls from the initiator and responder flows; only keep FinalityFlow and ReceiveFinalityFlow.
You can see here that the required signers are:

*

*The issuer on issuing.

*The holder on moving.

*The issuer and holder on redeeming.

But also the contract says here that there could be other signers on issue; so I'm not 100% sure that's the cause of the problem.
Try removing the signature flows and re-run your test; and let me know if it worked.
Another thing, check the logs of the initiating node (the log is inside logs folder inside your node's folder structure); are there any errors?.
