Q: Where are all past Salesforce Release Notes As a follow on to the recently posted question
"What are all of the reasons why Salesforce customers should upgrade the API version on their Apex classes, triggers, and pages?".
Where can I find all past Salesforce Release Notes, so I can review changes necessary to upgrade my Apex classes, triggers and pages to newer API versions?
I need notes all the way back as far as v18.0, other people may need to go back even further.
Going to https://developer.salesforce.com/releases, currently shows Summer '14 Release Preview. There is a link there to "Past Release: Spring '14" but that doesn't go anywhere and there is no link to all past releases that I can find.

The Brownwood Quilters Guild met for its regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2016, at the First Christian Church in Brownwood. Present were 24 members including new member Deborah Lehman, and two visitors: Julia McAnelly and Vickie Dutton.
President Lana Webb called the meeting to order. The consent agenda was approved, with a motion to accept by Vickie Mazurek and a second by Connie Hart.
Old Business: Lana reported that the need for CPS bags continues to increase. She encouraged everyone to make some and suggested staying after a meeting to sew these or blankets or pillow cases.
Connie Hart reported that the Chamber has asked us to come to the Corks and Caps Event next year. We voted previously not to make a donation quilt this year, but we could quilt one or even two of the old quilt tops and raffle them.
Lana showed us some possibilities for art work for the T-shirts.
New Business: The date for the December meeting was changed to Monday, Dec. 12, because of scheduling conflicts at the church. We will meet at 10:30. Everyone needs to bring 4 fat quarters for playing the Left/Right/Center game. Also, remember to bring your completed pot holder for the gift exchange. We will have a potluck meal, with the guild furnishing the meat.
The Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Christmas under the Stars Festival on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2-3, from 4:00-8:00 pm at the Depot Plaza and Lehnis Railroad Museum. 2000-3000 people are expected. We have tentatively agreed to participate. Mildred Turner has already quilted one of the old donated quilt tops and we will raffle it off. Millie Schwab volunteered to do the binding. Contact Lana if you can sell tickets on either day.
BOM: Connie Hansen presented the BOM to be made for December, a Hexagon Trivet or Pot Holder to be made from your choice of scrap fabrics. Instructions are on the website.
* BOM: Connie Hart won the Dolly Madison star blocks.
* Lana Webb: 7 projects for Christmas gifts, including a Texas wall hanging, a red and white disappearing 9-patch from BOM's, Jungle Songs quilt, a Fly Away Ladybug top, and a disappearing 4-patch top from BOM's and an unfinished Shoo Fly top.
BOM presenter next month will be Millie Schwab. Program Prizes next month will be by Charlene Cortez.
Program: Charlene Cortez led a workshop on the Folded Star table runner. Everyone who had registered for this workshop received a kit with precut pieces and embroidered border pieces, plus instruction pages. Several membersstayed to make these beautiful table runners at the meeting.

Through the deceptively complex pop of Quit The Curse marks the debut of Anna Burch, it's anything but the green first steps of a fledgling new artist. The Detroit singer/songwriter has been visible for the better part of her years-long career singing in Frontier Ruckus, or more recently co-fronting Failed Flowers, but somewhere a vibrant collection of solo material slowly began taking form.
Growing up in Michigan, her fixation with music transitioned from a childhood of Disney and Carole King sing-alongs to more typically angsty teenage years spent covering Bright Eyes and Fiona Apple at open mic nights. By 18 she was deep into the lifestyle of the touring musician, juggling all the regular trials and changes of young life while on a schedule that would have her gone for months on end.
After a few whirlwind years of this, exhausted and feeling a little lost, she stepped away from music completely to attend grad school in Chicago. This respite lasted until 2014 when she moved to Detroit and found herself starting work in earnest on solo songs she'd been making casual demos of for a year or so. Friends had been encouraging her to dive into solo music, and one particularly enthusiastic friend, Chicago musician Paul Cherry, went so far as to assemble a band around scrappy phone demos to push for a fully realized album.
"Writing songs that I actually liked for the first time gave me a feeling of accomplishment," Burch said, "Like, I can do this too! But working with other musicians and hearing the songs go from sad singer/songwriter tunes to arranged pop songs gave me this giddy confidence that I'd never felt before."
The process was drawn out and various drafts and recordings came and went as the months passed. By now Anna was playing low key shows and d.i.y. tours solo and had released some early versions of a few songs on a split with fellow Detroit musician Stef Chura. Even at a slow, meticulous pace, with every step the album took closer to completion, it felt more serious and more real. After a more than a year of piecemeal recording sessions, Anna was introduced to engineer Collin Dupuis (Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen) who helped push things energetically home, mixing the already bright songs into a state of brilliant clarity.
The nine songs that comprise Quit The Curse come on sugary and upbeat, but their darker lyrical themes and serpentine song structures are tucked neatly into what seem at first just like uncommonly catchy tunes. Burch's crystal clear vocal harmonies and gracefully crafted songs feel so warm and friendly that it's easy to miss the lyrics about destructive relationships, daddy issues and substance abuse that cling like spiderwebs to the hooky melodies. The maddeningly absent lover being sung to in "2 Cool 2 Care", the crowded exhaustion of "With You Every Day" or even the grim, paranoid tale of scoring drugs in "Asking 4 A Friend" sometimes feel overshadowed by the shimmering sonics that envelop them.
"To me this album marks the end of an era of uncertainty. Writing songs about my emotional struggles helped me to work through some negative patterns in my personal life, while giving me the sense of creative agency I'd been searching for."
Emerging from years spent as a supporting player, Quit The Curse stands as a liberation from feeling like Burch's own songwriting voice was just out of reach — an opportunity, finally, for the world at large to hear what's been on her mind for quite a while.
The Isle of Wight raised, fuzzed up Indie/Rock artist claims: 'Don't tell me stories, I'll write songs about them'.
After a successful year of releases, securing support from Clash Magazine, Earmilk, Crack in the Road, Nothing But Hope And Passion. Spotify have championed her latest release 'Call Shotgun' landing it a place on the New Music Friday UK, The Indie List and All New All Now playlist. Lauran has also gone to selling out her first headline show, as well as a string of support shows including Clean Cut Kid/ Bryde and Girli. and has taken to the Bestival main stage for two years in a row. Other estival appearances include Liverpool Sound City, Isle of Wight Festival, Commom People, Blue Dot and Follow The Sun.
Lauran has had great radio support, including Steve Lamacq at BBC 6 Music, John Kennedy at Radio X and has received a constant support from BBC Introducing.
Lauran's ever-growing sound hints at a grander and gungier live setting, captured effortlessly and with no coming up for air in her recordings to date. Tom Robinson at BBC 6 Music described a prior release 'Hunny is this what adults do?' as ' a colourful animation in which Lauran's left - field personality spills over' he went on to say 'It's uniqueness of sound is what makes this song so darned stand-out attractive.'
Her single 'Fun Like This' has been described as a 'Pop etched ode, to non conformity'. It's said to be a 'big old grungey 90's single, which has been nailed perfectly.
THE GOLDEN DREGS
Ben has spent the past four years filtering Falmouth life into his first full length album - Lafayette. What plays out is a rich representation of small town living; from the churn of the rumour mill to the assortment of intriguing characters that only seem to exist far away from motorways, Itsu chains and the relative anonymity afforded by city living.
With a musical approach inspired by 70's Americana and jam bands - The Basement Tapes, The Grateful Dead and the Mussel Shoals scene - Lafayette is an album fit for longer evenings full of simpler decisions. It's jangly summer-summoning pop for the hours when the sun is disappearing below the sea.

Components such as foot and ankle units, pylons, knee units and hip units are recommended by the clinician or a Hanger Clinic lower extremity specialist based on the user's functional level as defined by Medicare.
There are two approaches to building a lower extremity prosthesis: exoskeletal or endoskeletal. Exoskeletal prostheses have a hard outer plastic laminated shell or skin with a wood or urethane foam interior. In the exoskeletal prosthesis, the strength is provided by the outer lamination, and the shape or cosmesis (cosmetic cover) is an integral part of the prosthesis. This style of prosthesis is very durable, however, the choice of components is limited and the weight of the prosthesis is usually heavier than an endoskeletal design. It can be appropriate for a person who will be using the same prosthesis for many years.
Endoskeletal prostheses feature an inner support pylon composed of lighter-weight materials like aluminum, titanium, and graphite. These designs have interchangeable connectors and other components such as knees and feet. The shape or cosmesis is derived from a removable soft, foam cover that is finished with a nylon hose or other flexible material. This style of prosthesis is generally more adaptable and is well suited to people with active lifestyles. Endoskeletal prostheses offer more component options with more adjustability, but the cosmesis is less durable.
A Hanger Clinic prosthetist will help you decide which style is the best choice for you and your lifestyle.
The pylon is the portion of the prosthesis that transfers weight between the socket and the prosthetic foot. Many people prefer dynamic pylons that help reduce the shocks that are transmitted to the residual limb each time the heel strikes the ground. This is particularly important for people who participate in high-impact activities like running or other sports. The spring-like action of a dynamic pylon also helps move the person forward, compressing upon heel strike and then releasing when the toe lifts off the ground. Some pylons have torque-absorption that allow for rotation of the foot up to 45 degrees in either direction; the amount of resistance can be adjusted depending on the activity. Torque absorption can be an important feature for people who play golf or tennis, or want to go out dancing.
Like feet, there are many different models of prosthetic knees on the market today, yet all fall under two broad categories: mechanical and computerized.
Mechanical knees may be single-axis or polycentric (multi-axis). A single-axis knee operates like a basic hinge and is durable, lightweight and inexpensive. It uses sliding friction to prevent the leg from swinging forward too fast and allows for one optimal walking speed. Some single-axis knees have a manual lock which offers more stability when walking, particularly for those who are unsteady on their feet.
Polycentric knees are good for active people who would like a more stable gait without the expense of a computerized knee unit. There are also pneumatic (air) and hydraulic (fluid) knees, which allow the user to walk comfortably at varying speeds.
Computerized or microprocessor controlled knees are the latest in knee technology and offer users the most stability and the most natural gait of any knee. The on-board microprocessor samples the gait 50 times per second, automatically adjusting the response of the knee to the walking surface. Microprocessor controlled knees are more expensive but can be very beneficial to any user, particularly those with high activity levels or multiple limb amputations.
A basic hip joint operates like a hinge, allowing the joint to flex and then to extend slightly. A locking hip joint with a stride limiter offers more stability. A hip flexion bias system is a spring-loaded hip that begins to flex forward before the knee reaches its maximum forward travel, shortening the leg and allowing the foot to clear the ground. While there are numerous hip joints available, the anatomically correct placement of the hip is what ensures a person's ability to walk.

Q: What's the best way to 'ping' thousands of servers every minute? I run a server monitoring site for a video game. It monitors thousands of servers (currently 15,000 or so).
My current setup is a bit janky, and I want to improve it. Currently I use cron to submit every server to a resque job queue. I refill the queue just as soon as it's empty, essentially creating a constantly working queue. The job will then simply try and open a socket connection to the server ip and port in question, and mark it down if it fails to connect.
I have 20 workers, and it gets the job done in about 5 minutes. I feel that this should be able to go MUCH faster.
Is there a better, quicker way of doing this?

A: So, what you are doing currently I assume is doing a TCP socket connection which pings your game server. The problem with using TCP is obviously that it is a lot slower than UDP.
What I would advise instead is creating a UDP socket that just checks for the game server port.
Here's a nice quote from another question:
>        UDP is really faster than TCP, and the simple reason is because
> it's non-existent acknowledge packet (ACK) that permits a continuous
> packet stream, instead of TCP that acknowledges each packet.

Read this question here: UDP vs TCP, how much faster is it?
From my experience with game servers, the majority if not 100% of all modern game servers allow you to query them on a UDP socket. This will then respond with details on the game server. (I used to host a lot of servers myself too).
So basically, make sure that you are using UDP rather than TCP...
Example Query
I'm just searching for this information now and will update my question...when I find some source.. what game is it that you are trying to get information for?

A: Use typical solutions for typical tasks. This case is about available detection every n seconds - one of daily sysadmin task. It should not be over ICMP, use SNMP over UDP proto. One of complete solution is Nagious/Cacti/Zabbix, which have built-in functionality to combine everything about your servers: LA, HDD, RAM, IO, NET as well as available detection.

A: You don't mention how you are making the socket connections, but you might want to try using ruby curl bindings: curb instead of net/http.
This will typically be much faster.

The owners of the ranch in Texas that was raided by police for supposedly being the site of a large massacring ground and having mass gravesites filled with children's bodies took the psychic to court after it became obvious there was no such thing and won a $6.8 million judgment.
Although the psychic was either lying or was just plain wrong, authorities stated that they do not regret following up on the tip because no matter where information like that comes from, it is their job to investigate it to make sure.
It was discovered by District Court Judge Carl Ginsberg that Gridley dragged Bankston and Charlton's names in the dirt by making up defamatory statements about them and lying about the massacre to the sheriff's office in Liberty County. Judge Ginsberg agreed that the false claims made by Gridley hurt Bankston and Charlton's reputation, and exposed them to financial loss, ridicule, and public hatred. The couple also added that the police completely trashed their house during the raid, and that due to Gridley's false claims, they lost several friends.
It is not surprising that a psychic gave false information to the police, it happens all too often, especially during high-profile missing persons cases where police are flooded with hundreds of tips from so-called psychics. There have been cases where psychics were believed to have aided in the discovery of a missing person but more often than not, they do not offer valid information.
There have been times when information given to authorities by psychics causes a great deal of distress to the general public as well. For example, back in 2004 there was a psychic who advised the TSA of a bomb that was on an American Airlines flight on its way to Dallas, Texas. The TSA took the information seriously and working with the police they searched the airplane thoroughly, even enlisting the help of bomb sniffing dogs and equipment designed to find bombs but never found anything. The flight however was still cancelled causing a high inconvenience to the passengers, not to mention how frightening it was for them.
The case of the Texas ranch reminds us of the issues when it comes to providing accurate information to the authorities in a responsible way. It is a crime in itself to make a false report, but usually unless the claims turn out to be blatantly false, or if the information was a costly one to investigate, people will not be prosecuted for it. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the police don't want people to be afraid to call in a tip that has the potential of being helpful just because they are not positive about what they are reporting. It is a delicate balance because the police prefer to not charge someone who honestly felt something was wrong and called it in, but they also do not want to have their time, money, and personnel wasted on hoaxes and false information.
It is uncommon for a psychic to be found guilty and be charged in court but hopefully now that it has happened it will set an example for other psychics (and people) who like making claims that cannot be backed up and only serve to humiliate people and cost the authorities money and resources.

Leno, host of NBC's "The Tonight Show," shared his national audience this week with Thompson, whose "Janice Thompson Show" is a staple of Schenectady Access Cable Council programming.
It was a gag. During Leno's Monday night monologue, he asked his viewers to play "Spot the Cable Christmas Special." Separate clips of Mariah Carey and Jewel followed, both singing lavishly produced numbers. The third clip featured Thompson, dressed in a black dress with a red bow in her hair, singing "Jingle Bells" as she shook a tiny bell. A somber John Slovacek, wearing a red Santa cap, played the piano.
The studio audience got the joke. So did Thompson and others involved in the cable production.
Thompson, who lives in Schenectady's Stockade section, said the eight-second clip was taken from her 15th annual Christmas show, which can be seen on SACC Channel 16 and the SACC website. She said she was still up when she received a telephone call around midnight Monday from Jim Lewis, who used to direct her show and had just seen the monologue.
Even though Leno and NBC were poking a little fun — comparing big-budget specials to more cost-conscious cable productions — Thompson was glad for the exposure.
Randall Hogue Sr., president of SACC, said his group recently received a telephone call from a California agency representing "The Tonight Show." Agency staffers asked some questions about SACC and the Thompson show, but did not disclose their plans.
Hogue thought the bit, which was not credited as a Schenectady production during the segment, was funny.
Pianist Slovacek, who lives in Scotia, is part of the clip's appeal: He accompanies Thompson with a serious expression on his face.
"I think I was a little bit nervous," said Slovacek, who said the performance was his first on Thompson's program. He also didn't mind being part of a Leno punch line.
"They did kind of poke fun, but it was all in fun," he said.
Thompson's hourlong special, which includes several guests and songs, can be seen at various times Thursdays through Sundays throughout the month on SACC Channel 16 or anytime on the SACC website, http://sacc.tv.


FORMER Arsenal striker Carlos Vela has denied suggestions that his old club could re-sign him due to a buy-back clause included in his move to La Liga side Real Socdiedad last summer.
Vela switched from the Gunners to the Basque outfit last July for around £4m, having enjoyed a successful loan spell at Sociedad the campaign before.
Arsenal included a buy-black clause in the deal to give them the opportunity to bring the 23-year-old back to the Emirates if they wanted, although Vela has poured cold water on speculation that he would return.
The Mexican international claims that he is happy with Real Sociedad, who he has helped to sixth in the Spanish top-flight this season scoring 11 goals.
"I've never regretted signing for Real and the results prove me right," said Vela.
"I think my decision to stay at Real is looking more and more like the right one. I've never regretted coming back. I came because I trusted the team and I thought we could get better.
"After being here for a year and knowing what my teammates are like on and off the pitch, it makes it easier to decide whether to stay or go to a new team, where you don't know what's going to happen," revealed Vela.
"The team has proven that it is very good, that we have excellent players and we can compete with anyone.
"I'm talking about giving more, not just this season, but over the coming years. I think the team can improve even more. We can do better than we are now."
Arsene Wenger had high hopes for Vela when he signed the Mexico forward back in 2005, after he had helped his country win the FIFA U-17 World Cup finishing the tournament as top scorer.
But Vela failed to settle in England, and was loaned out to Salamanca, Osasuna and West Brom before a temporary deal with Real Sociedad turned permanent.

State coughs up documents, pensioners still have questions
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — After months of denying the requests of NEWS10 ABC, the state finally handed over documents that could give former workers at St. Clare's Hospital some answers as to why they've been shut out of their pensions.
NEWS10 first reported on Tuesday the Department of Health had extended the time frame to provide documents requested by our reporters. On Thursday, those documents were suddenly sent to NEWS10.
"We've lived through these things so we know them to be true. It's just getting proof and that's what you have now," said pensioner Mary Hartshorne.
She still has hope that the pensions will be restored. Hartshorne says after she had a private meeting with the Bishop she's confident there will be a solution. But, she's not so satisfied with the state.
"As far as Governor Cuomo, he has had not one ounce of interest in anything we've had to say."
She has a follow-up meeting with the Bishop at the end of May.
Even though NEWS10 received a response from the DOH, others who filed FOIL requests still have not.
ALBANY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) -- New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo released an update on Saturday morning on how the state is dealing with COVID-19.
To date, there are now 17 cases of the UK COVID-19 variant. The latest case was found in Tompkins County.

GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Guilderland police charged Jeffery Grossman, 32, of Guilderland with Assault after police responded to a reported stabbing incident at Crossgates Mall near the Food Court.
Police say on Friday just after 10 a.m. Guilderland police responded to an incident where a man, identified as Daniel Keefe, 62, of Troy, had reportedly been stabbed with a knife. The suspect, Grossman, is then said to have fled on foot but was quickly taken into custody after a brief struggle with officers.
ALBANY COUNTY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Albany County Executive Dan McCoy announced Saturday that the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Albany County has now climbed to 15,524 to date, an increase of 257 new positive cases since Friday. The five-day average for new daily positives has increased to 278 from 269.8.
The County Executive reported that among the new positive cases, 39 had close contact with positive cases, 200 did not have a clear source of infection at this time, one had travelled and 17 are healthcare workers or residents of congregate settings.

News You Can Use: Fables, Faith Mark Origins of Fall Festivals
UM experts reveal stories, customs behind Chinese Moon Festival, Sukkot, Halloween and Oktoberfest

OCTOBER 28, 2019 BY EDWIN B. SMITH
With the arrival of autumn comes the observance of several festivals and holidays. As many make plans to participate in these fall celebrations, University of Mississippi religion experts have shared their origins and customs to help enhance the public's experience of each.
Most religious traditions commemorate both fall and spring seasons with various rituals, marking occasions of harvests and astrological equinoxes. Ancient traditions were intimately linked with the rhythms of the earth.
"With human survival dependent upon adequate harvests, community leaders sought divine aid at these crucial times, creating complex rituals to help secure that aid," said Mary Thurlkill, professor of religious studies. "Over time, liturgical calendars incorporated autumnal celebrations, including Navaratri/Dasara in Hinduism, Rosh Hashanah and Sukkot in Judaism and Hallowtide in Christianity."
Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is observed in several countries on Oct. 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints, martyrs and all the faithful departed.
"It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain," said Steven Skultety, chair and associate professor of philosophy and religion at Ole Miss. "Samhain itself was Christianized as Halloween by the early church.
"Some believe, however, that Halloween began solely as a Christian holiday."
Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks, visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories and watching horror films.
In many parts of the world, the Christian religious observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain popular.
"Some Christians historically abstained from meat on All Hallows' Eve, a tradition reflected in the eating of certain vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes and soul cakes," he said.
While the Moon Festival, Sukkoth and Halloween are millennia old, Oktoberfest is a relatively modern fall event. First occurring in 1810, it has become the world's largest Volksfest, a beer festival and traveling funfair. Held annually in Munich, it is a 16-day folk festival running from mid- or late September to the first weekend in October, with more than 6 million people from around the world attending every year.
Other cities around the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the original Munich event.
"It's probably no coincidence that many of our state and county fairs occur around the time of Oktoberfest," Skultety said. "During the event, large quantities of Oktoberfest beer are consumed.
"Visitors also enjoy numerous attractions, such as amusement rides, sideshows and games. There is also a wide variety of traditional foods available."
The Mid-Autumn Festival – better known as the Moon Festival – is one of the most important traditional Chinese holidays. Its origin can be traced back to the Zhou dynasty, more than 3,000 years ago in China, but the festival has gradually developed into a major holiday widely celebrated in East Asia and some areas of Southeast Asia.
"Most of the festival's customs are related to the moon," said Fei Lan, associate professor of religious studies. "In Chinese culture, the moon has inspired poets and musicians throughout centuries to leave behind thousands of beautiful poems and numerous masterpieces in music about the moon."
Sukkot, the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles, stems back to Israel in the first millennium, said James Bos, associate professor of religious studies. This year, it began at sunset Oct. 13 and ended at nightfall Oct. 20.
"Sukkot is a biblical Jewish holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh month, Tishrei," he said. "During the existence of the Jerusalem temple, it was one of the three pilgrimage festivals on which the Israelites were commanded to perform a pilgrimage to the temple."
Sukkot is a seven-day festival, with the first day celebrated with special prayer services and holiday meals. The seventh day is called Hoshana Rabbah and has a special observance of its own.
During the intermediate days, known as Chol HaMoed, some types of work are forbidden and many businesses are closed.
"Throughout the week of Sukkot, meals are eaten in the sukkah," Bos said. "Every day, a blessing is recited over the lulav, a closed frond of the date palm tree, and the etrog, the yellow citron."
Whatever form various fall celebrations may take, Skultety advises safety first.
"Remember, the enjoyment of these festivals and holidays largely depends upon the condition you find yourself in after they're over," he said.

Fortnite For Android Has Been Pulled From The Google Play Store
by Daniel Tack on Aug 13, 2020 at 07:14 PM
FacebookPost
Following today's earlier chaotic news of two titans blasting back and forth at each other with Epic Games' Fortnite on the Apple App Store, the popular game has also been removed from the Android Google Play Store. Check out everything going on with that situation right here.
In a statement to The Verge, Google addresses the removal of Fortnite from the Google Play Store:
The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores. For game developers who choose to use the Play Store, we have consistent policies that are fair to developers and keep the store safe for users. While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play.
The clash between Apple and Epic earlier in the day led to the filing of legal papers and has big implications across multiple industries, depending on how things shake out.
Where this wild web spins over the next few days, weeks, and months is anyone's guess, but there's not likely to be a dull moment in this brawl. One thing is certain, things are going to get pretty fierce.

France respects Burkina Faso's request to withdraw its troops inside a month
By hanad On Jan 25, 2023
France's overseas ministry stated on Wednesday that France will honor the phrases of Burkina Faso's request to withdraw its forces from the West African nation inside a month.
Burkina Faso stated on Monday it had determined to finish a navy pact permitting French forces to struggle militants on its soil as a result of the federal government wished the nation to defend itself.
"On Tuesday, January 24, we obtained an official condemnation from the federal government of Burkina Faso of the 2018 settlement regarding the standing of French forces current on this nation," the ministry stated in an announcement despatched to Reuters.
"In keeping with the phrases of the Settlement, the withdrawal shall be efficient one month after receipt of the written discover. We'll adjust to the phrases of this Settlement by complying with this request."
The West African nation is dealing with an Islamist insurgency by teams linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State, which have seized swathes of territory and displaced tens of millions of individuals within the wider Sahel area south of the Sahara.
Burkina Faso Nationwide Tv reported on Saturday that the federal government suspended the 2018 navy settlement with Paris on January 18, giving France one month to withdraw its forces.
Identical path as Mali The nation has adopted the same path as neighboring Mali, falling out with Paris after a navy coup introduced the navy junta to energy and the French presence turned more and more unpopular among the many public.
Burkina Faso's authorities assured Paris that it will not comply with Mali by turning to Russia's Wagner firm to assist its military – though a contact staff from the mercenary group had already visited.
France maintains about 200-400 members of its particular forces stationed in Burkina Faso. It withdrew its forces from Mali final yr after the navy council there agreed to a take care of the personal Russian Wagner Group, staffed by Russian veterans and criminals (select to jail or struggle), to function within the nation.
"This doesn't imply the tip of diplomatic relations between Burkina Faso and France," authorities spokesman Jean-Emmanuel Ouedraogo informed RTV following the announcement.

So you want to be an engineering manager
Insights and advice from engineering leaders who have been where you are today
Yesterday you were a standout engineer. Today you're a standout engineer with a question to consider: Do you want to be an engineering manager?
For many, answering that question isn't just difficult, it can actually be quite scary. How will your day-to-day change? Will you be able to continue honing your skills as an engineer? What training and support will you receive as you transition to management? And what happens if you decide management isn't for you? 😬
There's a great deal to think about as you consider the engineering management path and you shouldn't have to go it alone. That's why we invited four engineering leaders to join us and share their experiences at a Meetup focused on the transition from individual contributor (IC) to engineering manager.
Here are some of the key lessons and advice we took away from the event and that we think might help you begin to determine if management is for you. And if you want to hear everything for yourself, watch the recording of our panel discussion below.
1. Deciding to become an engineering manager
As an IC or even team lead, it can be difficult to know what being a manager is actually like and whether or not you would enjoy it. If the following points resonate with you, becoming an engineering manager might be right for you.
Scale your impact — You can grow your influence in a lot of ways without becoming a people manager, says Eugenia Dellapenna, Senior Engineering manager at Medium. If you're interested in scaling your impact and being directly accountable for the humans on a team or in an organization through programs and coaching, then you may like being a manager.
Solve new problems — Early in her career, Rukmini Reddy, now VP of Engineering at Abstract, quickly rose to principal engineer. Her then CTO saw in her a talent for people and building relationships and urged her to give management a try. Though quite skeptical about the move, she gave it a shot and never looked back.
"Programs are very predictable. Humans are not. That's what I love about the craft." —Rukmini Reddy
But it's not all about knowing how to work with people. Rukmini advised that as you enter into management you will still require the technical chops to discuss work with your team. Without it they won't respect you.
Deciding to remain an individual contributor
The different challenges and new skills development that come with management aren't of interest to everyone. If you know you love exploring deep technical problems, or if architecting a company's software infrastructure is part of your five-year plan, then continuing down the IC path is probably the right decision for you for now.
2. Setting your expectations for management
Regardless of where you work, when you becoming a manager your day-to-day is going to change. Accepting this reality is important. Here are a few additional realities you should warm up to if you're considering becoming a manager.
Code less, mentor more — When you become a manager, you're going to be doing a fair bit less coding that you were used to as an IC. For Sri Raghavan, Engineering Manager at Asana, his first few months of being a manager were about finding new ways to value his impact on the organization.
Before doing it, he had no idea what to expect from being a manager. A year in, he loves it. "Management [is] a way that I contribute to the organization and feel impact," he says.
Surrender to change and prepare for surprises — The way in which your teammates approach a problem may not be exactly how you'd go about it. You'll have to learn that different doesn't mean wrong. Nitpick less.
One of the things that surprised Ryan most about becoming a people manager was how often direct reports brought up very personal issues in one-on-one meetings. Visa complications, difficulties in a relationship, a deceased pet. As a manager, it is likely that you will be the first person to whom a team member brings a problem. So be prepared for your meetings to sometimes shift from project-focused to person- and support-focused.
Set boundaries — With that in mind, "Other people's well-being is not your burden," advised Rukmini. "Compassion over empathy."
"You aren't your reports' therapist." —Eugenia Dellapenna
There's a lot of emotional labor involved in being a manager, and it will not be helpful for you to try to take on the role of primary supporter. People want to be heard, and often that can be enough.
3. Assessing your effectiveness as a manager
As you get started as an engineering manager, one question you may find you consistently ask yourself is: Am I doing a good job? The answer is probably yes. But, here are a couple of ways to help you gauge your effectiveness as a manager.
Ask your team for feedback — What feedback do you have for me? If that question doesn't do the trick, Ryan Leary, Engineering Manager of the Oculus team at Facebook, says try, If I had a magic wand, what would you want?
Ask these questions of everyone on your team, but also be sure to seek out the people on your team or across your organization who don't shy away from giving feedback. It's going to help you improve as a leader.
Evaluate success metrics — Is your team shipping? Are you shipping on time? Are you operating well? Are people happy and collaborating in a healthy way?
"A lot of factors go into a team being successful," says Eugenia. "It's my job to diagnose what's going wrong and why. Ultimately, if my team is successful, that means I'm doing my job well."
4. Being a great manager
You might find your footing on the path to management sooner than you expect. And on your way to becoming a great manager, there are a few things our panel urges you to never forget.
Empower your team — "Have my back and get out of my way." When asked by a former CEO how he could best support her, that's how Rukmini replied. Empower the people on your team to do their job by providing them with the resources, autonomy, and guidance (when they need it) to be successful.
Be the sword and shield — Fight for your people and protect them. As a manager, Ryan says, it's your job to both lead and protect. Advocate for what your individual team members need to be successful — and, by extension, for your team and you, as a leader, to be successful — and also be prepared to bite the bullet for them when it's required.
Say I don't know — You're going to feel like you have to have all of the answers when you start out as a manager. You don't. Sri shared that "Whether the question was about compensation or promotions, I felt like I had to know everything." For him, it was a battle to eventually be able to say honestly "I don't really know, but I will find out or we can learn more together."
Learn to let go — While it may be your instinct as a manager to try to fill gaps — and yes, this is an important responsibility of yours — it can very easily get out of control. You can't be responsible for everything, and sometimes you just can't answer every question that comes your way on Slack. Let your team share in some of that responsibility, thereby granting them the opportunity to grow in new ways.
Make the hard decisions — It's probably not going to be easy to acknowledge, but there's a chance that not everyone on your team is going to be successful (for whatever reason). Early in your time as a manager, you might try to do whatever you can to help a struggling teammate keep up with the rest of the group. But when you find someone dragging down the rest of the team and things aren't changing, even after a concerted effort from yourself and HR, it will be time to let them go. The rest of your team needs you, too.
5. Recognizing the power of good management
Being a manager is really hard work. So much depends on you and your ability to set your team up for success. But when you get it right, being a manager is so very rewarding. Here are a couple of ways the power of good management has manifested for our panelists.
Building healthy teams — Seeing your team energized and excited about their work is going to feel great. "I love my job," said Sri. "I inherited my team, started managing a few folks and expanded to managing the whole team." Today, his team is healthy and other engineers across the organization want to become a part of it. (It is incredibly rewarding as a manager to hear that last part.)
Helping team members advance their careers — When you've been working with someone for a while, coaching them, and then you see them accomplish their goal. That's one of the best parts of management according to Ryan. Building plans for promotion with your direct reports and seeing them advance will make you feel great.
Ryan admits that, selfishly, hearing "If you ever leave, take me with you" and "I never want to leave [this team]" will feel pretty great, too.
Additional resources to help you on your path to management
At the end of the panel discussion, we asked each panelist for resources that have helped them along the way. Management is a skill that you must continue honing, so it's no surprise that everyone noted they continue to go back to these resources.

Few tour guides can be counted on to show you something completely offbeat or unusual. And I, who can be counted on to tune out effortlessly from a tour guide's ramblings, can be trusted to a fault to spot the unusual in the offbeat. Even if I say so myself.
In May 2011, I travelled to Oman on assignment for Outlook Traveller at the invitation of the Ministry of Tourism (that story is archived here). There were countless backstories that I gleaned on that trip and this was one.
Before that, a fact. But wait, even before that, a disclosure.
I'm a Malayalee, a native speaker of the south Indian tongue called Malayalam. I cannot stress this point enough because I meet many educated (but obviously poorly travelled) people who can't tell the difference and that, to me, is as irksome as that cardinal confusion between Hindi and Hindu that is at the heart of many American Desi coming out parties. Also note that I didn't capitalize the 'south' in 'south India' because, unlike South Korea, it is not a nation; unlike South Dakota it is not a state; and unlike South America it isn't a continent. So, to labour the point, my roots lie in Kerala. And though I live in Bangalore, also in south India, I speak my mother tongue well enough to save my life and get in a bit of trouble at the same time. The last, inevitably, is a gift.
In the Sultanate of Oman, as of 2007, there were almost 135,000 Malayalam speakers who comprised 60 percent of the total expatriate Indian population in the nation. This is not strange or unusual because Oman was one of the countries in the Arab Gulf that welcomed immigrant workers in large numbers in the 1970s and 1980s, and Indians (at 20% of the total population of Oman) are the largest immigrant group. Many of these people are unskilled workers, many are skilled workers, about 10 percent are professionals and over 2,000 of them are doctors, many in senior positions.
You can stop yawning. There's a reason I'm trumpeting the influence of Malayalam in Oman and just how deeply invested my people and mother tongue are in this Arab nation. On that trip in May 2011, we drove from Sur to Muscat skirting the edge of the Hajar mountains on one side and the cerulean Persian Gulf on the other. We stopped en route at the stunning Bimmah sinkhole (a post on that later) and there I saw this notice for a missing person. The unfortunate man was an Omani and I hope he was found alive and well. But I'd like to draw your attention to the order of languages on the notice: first, English, then Malayalam, and finally Arabic.
Yeah, I'm thinking of that Neil Armstrong on the moon joke, too.


This is a nice treat which is worth a couple of gram sugar!
Peel the pears then boil them in some water with 100 g (3.5 oz or 0.2 lb) sugar, the vanilla pod (cut into half, lengthwise) and the lemon for about 10 minutes.
Take out the pears from the water carefully, cut into half and place them on a paper lined backing tray.
Brush the pears with honey and bake for 15 minutes.
Combine the mascarpone with the espresso and the rest of the sugar.
Serve the baked pears on the espresso cream then dust with the ground cinnamon and enjoy!

Concept Paper for the Discipline of Management
Very simply, management is the process of getting the job done through others. Henri Fayol, known as the father of Modern Operational Management, defined management as 'to manage is to forecast and plan, to organize, to command, to coordinate and to control'. But most of the people one not interested to be commanded.
In this situation, to define management, Heinz Weihrich & Harold Koontz said, 'Management is the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals, working together in groups, efficiently accomplish selected aims'.
Two types of elements are identified which constitute the process of management.
1. Internal Factors- planning, organizing, staffing, leading and motivating, coordinating, and controlling.
2. External Factors- economics, technological, social, ecological, political, and ethical.
Classification of Management
From the various studies it is found that the activities of a manager within an industry could be divided into some categories. These are:
Technical (production) ________ Operation Management
2. Commercial (buying, selling, and exchange) ___ Marketing Management
3. Financial (search for, and optimum use of, capital) __Financial Management
4. Security (protection of properties and persons) _____ Risk Management ____Human Resource Management
5. Accounting (including statistics) __Managerial Accounting
6. Managerial (planning, organizing, coordination and control) ___Principles of Management
Management concepts and management techniques have always been used, either consciously or unconsciously and the practice of management is as old as recorded history. Professor Claude. S. Georges has provided an interesting survey of the management practices of Sumerian temple priests, Egyptian Pharaohs, and other functionaries of ancient civilization. He observed that management was quite widespread throughout those civilizations, and that the literature of the times referred to such managerial concepts as planning, staff assistance, and division of labor, control and leadership.
Relatively sophisticated management practices emerged during the eras of the Greek and Roman Empire. The feudal system introduced the usual problems associated with the management of a decentralized organization, including delegation of authority, decision-making and accountability.
Thus, even though the practice of management was present throughout history, the literature of management is nearly 250 years old, with the most significant writing appearing in the last 100 years.
Many different contributions of writers and practitioners have resulted in different approaches to management. The following table summarizes the major contributions of management writers and practitioners:
Name of the contributors Year Contribution
Frederick W. Taylor 1911 Scientific Management
Henri Fayol 1916 Modern Operational Management Theory
Elton Mayo and F. J. Roethlisberger 1933 Behavioral Sciences
Chester Barnard 1938 Systems Theory
W. Edwards Deming Immediate after World War II Quality Management
Thomas Peter and Robert Waterman 1982 Modern Management Thought
To Islamize the knowledge regarding management, the course instructor has to relate the Islamic concept to the conventional concepts of management. To do so, the person has to do some research works. For doing the research work they may follow both the library research as well as empirical research. For both the research, the researcher will have to study the Quran and the Sunnah, and the literatures of the early successful Muslim practitioner. For empirical research, the researcher may use some successful business and service organizations which are following the Islamic principles in their activities, as the sample. They can use both the primary and secondary data for study.
After completing the research, the researchers will have to incorporate the new findings with the existing conventional approaches to management. And the duty of the teachers will be to prepare the reading materials by incorporating the Islamic concepts and spread out the knowledge among the existing and future practitioners.
Islamic Epistemological Critique of Basic Concepts and Paradigms
Allah is the only one source of knowledge. Man cannot know any small part of His knowledge but whatever He wants. The last Devine book, Al-Quran and the earlier books that He sent are full of different types of knowledge whatever is needed for man. A lot of glorious histories of the Muslim are present. Considering knowledge, now they are very poor. They don't have any literature of the managerial systems of early successful leaders and businessmen who were Muslim in practice. However, the literatures we have and the basic sources of knowledge, al-Quran and the Sunnah, are not being studied properly by us and not practiced the lessons as well.
To build up the awareness among the practitioners and to spread the knowledge of Islam regarding any discipline and arena, we will have to try our best from every sector where we are.
Islamic Epistemological Introduction to the Discipline of Management
It is evident that traditional authors of management have not mentioned any contribution of Islam in management. The contributions of Islam in different aspects of management can never be over emphasized. According to the Holy Quran, Holy Prophet (SAW) and companions (RA) faced lot of problems in managing the Islamic state and they solved those problems by introducing divine principles and guidance given by Allah (SWT). Prophet Muhammad's (SAW) contributions and the contributions of four caliphs were great to the development of management.
As a small part of the Muslim Ummah, we, the teachers, can reform the course curriculum of management by adding Islamic inputs with the existing outlines. For example, the reformed curriculum of Fundamentals of Management is mentioned bellow:
Curriculum Reformation

Role of Fiqh al muamalaat al maaliyyat
Without fund nothing good can be done. For research and other related works there is a lot of needs of money. The persons or the institutions that have funds, their moral responsibility is to support the persons to make some contributions in the discipline of management for helping the practitioners to be practical in life.
Since, there is no single problem or discipline of which better solution is not present in the guidance of Islam, a better approach to management is also present here. And our duty is to find out the Islamic approaches to management and spread out the knowledge among the practitioners, both existing and potential.

Now that the designer templates have been available for a couple months, and they are becoming "just another option" that's used by some (maybe not all) bloggers, we are starting to see some confusion expressed. The CSS code in designer templates, used in defining colors, fonts, and template objects, is considerably more complex. One of the first discoveries made was that "Fonts and Colors" can't be used to adjust font and color settings, for Designer template blogs.
Not all functionality is available, in any one wizard, however.
Fonts and Colors have to be changed, using the Template Designer - Advanced wizard.
New Gadgets have to be added using "Page Elements", because the Template Designer - Layout wizard lacks the "Add a Gadget" link found in "Page Elements".
Gadgets can be re positioned on the screen, using either the "Page Elements" or "Template Designer" - Layout wizards.
Right now, it looks like both "Page Elements" and "Template Designer" are going to be used, for maintaining Designer template blogs, for a while. If you want to add gadgets to your blog, you'll need "Page Elements". For tweaking settings, you'll have to use "Template Designer", which will require that you start from the Draft Blogger dashboard. The GUI gadget re positioning process seems to work for both "Page Elements" and "Template Designer" - Layout, though I would not be surprised to see problems resulting from use of "Page Elements" reported sometime soon.
I am in the process of adding pages to the top of my blog. However, I'm having some difficulties. I would like my home page to link back to the main feed of my blog. Exactly like your home tab does above. As of right now, all I get is a totally separate page.
Also, I would like to have within my archives page a list of my archives in chronological order as well as by labels. I've read some of your posts about static content, etc. Although I must admit it's all Greek to me. Could you help?
Those are two very interesting questions. Why don't we explore them, in BHF: How Do I?, where it's easier to carry on a dialogue?

Q: How to validate the Month, Day and Year ranges using javascript? I'm doing a PHP project which needs to take data from the user which includes date. The datepicker method using jQuery seems not working. So, i decided to get the correct date using javascript.
So far, i am able to check the correct format using following script.
function checkdate(input)
{
var dateformat=/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}$/ //Check for format validity
if (!dateformat.test(input.value))
{
document.getElementById("error").innerHTML="Invalid Date format, use MM/DD/YYYY";
return false;
}
else
{
  document.getElementById("error").innerHTML="";
  return true;
}

I want to validate those ranges month(1-12)/Day(1-31)/year(2000-2014).
I'm looking for any other possible alternate way to get the correct date from user too.

A: You can use this Regular Expression.
var date_regex = /^(0[1-9]|1[0-2])\/(0[1-9]|1\d|2\d|3[01])\/(200\d|2010|2011|2012|2013|2014)$/ ;

This is example for that.

    <input type='text' id='ttt' />
    <input type='button' onclick='validateDate()' />

EDIT : Just formatted

A: Try Moment.js plugin
Validation will look like this:
new moment(input.value).isValid();

A: JS :
function checkdate(input){
 var validformat=/^\d{2}\/\d{2}\/\d{4}$/ //Basic check for format validity
 var returnval=false
 if (!validformat.test(input.value))
   alert("Invalid Date Format. Please correct and submit again.")
 else{ //Detailed check for valid date ranges
   var monthfield=input.value.split("/")[0]
   var dayfield=input.value.split("/")[1]
   var yearfield=input.value.split("/")[2]
   var dayobj = new Date(yearfield, monthfield-1, dayfield)
   if ((dayobj.getMonth()+1!=monthfield)||(dayobj.getDate()!=dayfield)||
        (dayobj.getFullYear()!=yearfield))
     alert("Invalid Day, Month, or Year range detected. Please correct and submit again.")
  else
     returnval=true
 }
 if (returnval==false) input.select()
  return returnval
}

HTML
<form onSubmit="return checkdate(this.mydate)">
<input type="text" name="mydate" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />

Valid date format: mm/dd/yyyy

<input type="submit" value="submit" />

No temporary concussion substitutes in the Premier League next season
Jamie Gardner, PA Chief Sports Reporter
A temporary concussion substitute trial in the Premier League next season has been rejected by the game's lawmakers.
The International Football Association Board met at Wembley on Wednesday to discuss the possibility of a trial after a request from world players' union FIFPRO and the World Leagues Forum to test the protocol in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Major League Soccer.
However, Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham, who supported the idea of a trial, said no consensus could be reached.
"There were very strong and very different views in the room, and we didn't reach a consensus," he said.
"We agreed that it would remain under active review."
However, Bullingham conceded there was now no chance of a trial taking place in the next Premier League, Ligue 1 or MLS season.
The focus, he said, was on improving the effective implementation of the permanent concussion substitute protocol.
Mark Bullingham said there would not be IFAB support for a temporary concussion substitute trial right now
The news will be a major blow to brain injury campaigners who believe the temporary concussion substitute approach would give the best protection to players.
Bullingham admitted that the concussion debate was the "longest conversation" in a meeting which overran by about 90 minutes.
But when asked whether a Premier League trial could still happen next season or had been pushed further away, he said: "It's been pushed further away.
"I tabled it a year ago, I tabled it again today. There are different points of view and they all have merit. I'm probably not the best person to give you both sides of the argument, but there won't be IFAB support for a trial right now."
The permanent concussion substitute trial will instead continue indefinitely. FIFA conducted a survey of team doctors that had adopted the trial, and found that 71 per cent supported the permanent concussion substitute model.
The FA had been co-ordinating international efforts to get a temporary concussion trial approved and gathered together the other three UK football associations for a meeting on Monday, where it is understood a majority were united in support of a protocol being trialled.
However, the fact that no consensus could be reached indicates FIFA – the other constituent of IFAB – remains convinced that the permanent concussion substitution trial is the best approach.
The Professional Footballers' Association's head of brain health, Dr Adam White, said: "It's extremely disappointing that IFAB's members have yet again passed on the opportunity to introduce what we believe would be a valuable tool to better protect player welfare.
"Leagues and player unions are aligned on this and asked IFAB for permission to introduce temporary concussion substitutes from next season.
"There is a fundamental issue if player unions and leagues feel football's lawmakers are holding them back from doing what they collectively agree is best to protect the safety of players.
"The next step will be for unions and leagues to discuss what this means and what options are available to them.
"We believe the introduction of temporary concussion substitutes is now increasingly seen as a common-sense measure to better protect players.
"Many will rightly ask "if not now, when?"

The young Czech had defeated Cameron Norrie and Felix Auger-Aliassime to make the last eight but was broken in his first service game and, although he put on a creditable display, it was not enough to take a set from Tsitsipas.
