Temereva E.N., Malakhov V.V. 2011. The evidence of metamery in adult brachiopods and phoronids // Invertebrate Zoology. Vol.8. No.2: 87–101 [in English].
KEY WORDS: Lophotrochozoa, phylogeny, lateral mesenteries, metamorphosis, body plan.
ABSTRACT: There are both metameric and nonmetameric animal body plans in each of the three main branches of the bilaterian tree – the Ecdysozoa, the Deuterostomia and the Lophotrochozoa. Has metamery originated independently in these groups or is it a synapomorphy of all Bilateria? If the latter is correct, we might expect to find remnants of metamery in nonmetameric forms. The Lophophorata seems to be the only group of main bilaterian groups that lacks metamery. Here, we infer that the lateral mesenteries of brachiopods and phoronids are metameric in nature and originated from dissepiments between segments of trunk coelomic sacks of an oligomerous ancestor. In addition to preoral and lophophore coeloms, brachiopods and phoronids demonstrate a metameric subdivision of the body coelom. The trunk coelom of recent brachiopods and phoronids is a product of partial fusion of three or two segments, respectively. The lateral mesenteries in phoronids and brachiopods bear funnels of excretory organs like the dissepiments of true metameric animals (for example, annelids). In both groups, the lateral mesenteries are situated at an angle to the main axis of the body and always at a right angle to the axis of metamery. We conclude that metamery was present in ancestral Lophrophotrochozoans and in the common ancestor of all Bilateria but has since been reduced in some groups. The reduction of metamery in phoronids and brachiopods is correlated with strong changes in their body plan. We suggest that lophophorates are primitive lophotrochozoans because they retained some plesiomorphic features.

Meet Pete White, a father and native Angeleno who lives this struggle every day, and a leader at Los Angeles Community Action Network (LA CAN).
"Many Angelenos are "houseless" in a community that is their home. I use the term "houseless" intentionally because a home has more than four walls. A home has a community of care, and that community of care at its best is going to include an affordable, humane place to be housed."
– Pete White
What has been your journey to housing and housing justice? What role do you see housing justice playing in the lives of Black communities in California?
I'm a native Angeleno. My family came in the 1940s fleeing lack of opportunity in Northern Louisiana, which was a very oppressive place for Black folks. My family was part of the early arrivals to California, landing around Central Avenue. During WWII, when the Japanese were sent to internment camps, some families, like mine, arrived in a place called Bronzeville, Los Angeles (now known as Little Tokyo).
Decades ago, I remember first seeing startling numbers of Black folks living on Skid Row. These were folks living in the streets and the shadows of these centers of power–multinational corporations, City Hall, Board of Supervisors. In 2016, Manuel Pastor (Director of the Equity Research Institute at USC) wrote a report called Roots & Raíces1 that looked at immigrants and where they're going geographically. He also talked about Black folks and noticed that we were being erased across all zip codes. We were only gaining numbers in one zip code–Skid Row. So, we must reject the narrative that poverty and living on the streets is a byproduct of choice, mental illness, or substance abuse. Poverty is and has always been a product of the state's political and economic decisions.
What policies and practices in your region have strengthened or diminished housing access, affordability, and justice?
Let's talk first about the history that led us here. Black folks were legally banned from gathering wealth. We couldn't get loans or fund our children's education. Then, in the 80s, many safety net programs, like HUD, stopped investing in affordable housing, which had provided some semblance of economic stability for Black folks who maybe had to hustle with two or three jobs, but at least had housing.
These historical roots produce what we see today, the inability of many in our community to actually root down and have actual stability. The issues we see play out in the data were all raised during the COI listening sessions we held. Today, we have Black unemployment and rent rising, but wages staying stagnant. For those who have two or three jobs, the notion of owning your home is a stretch, and utterly unimaginable if you are unemployed. That's undeniable if you do the math. The average fair rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles is $2,600 a month. For this to be affordable, which means only ⅓ of your salary is going to rent, a family would need to be making about $95,000 a year. When you think about the cost of living in San Francisco, a family of four earning around $111,000 would be just breaking above the poverty level. Who has that kind of money?
What is the relationship between housing justice and Black erasure in CA? Why is it important that our CA Citizens Redistricting Commission understand this relationship?
The myth that poverty is driven by individual choices and circumstances has been a convenient ruse that allows policymakers to run away from their responsibility to ensure that folks have the opportunity to put down roots. This is the same opportunity–by the way–that propelled many white folks to homeownership and the middle class after WWII. This myth has led to a series of failed policy and political decisions that have been catastrophic to Black folks in California–including the War on Drugs and mass incarceration–as well as funding decisions. For instance, instead of fully funding the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, we have funded the police and carceral state.
During the racial uprisings in 2020, we saw all these signs calling for action on affordable housing. People see the relationship between anti-Blackness and housing justice. When the commission makes its decisions about maps, representation, and resources, I hope they consider the impact the pandemic has had on housing justice, and the social tsunami that is coming at us quickly when eviction moratoriums end and folks find themselves owing a year and a half of back rent. We have to make sure maps are drawn that bake in those realities and don't aid Black erasure from California's cities.
What problems in the representation of Black communities in Congress or the state legislature have impeded housing access, affordability, and justice in CA? How should these problems be addressed?
Congress and our state legislature have to be clear-eyed about the root cause of being unhoused, willing to step ahead of this tsunami, and bold enough to take on zoning policies that are actually racist tools designed to maintain segregation and keep poor folks and people of color out of certain communities. We need representatives who want to fight for inclusionary zoning, where developers have to consider and engage communities that reflect a range of income levels. This concept, which was raised in many of the conversations we held, reflects an appetite among Californians to have a more inclusive and just state.
What are the unique opportunities for creating more housing justice in CA? Why is it important that our CA Citizens Redistricting Commission understand these opportunities?
The housing justice movement is not a new movement. Folks impacted by this injustice have been organizing and building political power for decades. The movement has grown as more and more people find themselves priced out of housing in California. We're hearing about white public school teachers living out of their cars because they can't afford rent. If there was ever a time for a housing justice movement, it's now.
"We are having conversations about affordable housing and redistricting in the height of gentrification. It is critically important that communities that are equally situated remain together."
If we begin to carve maps that divide areas that have been working together to build political power, all the work building power will be lost.
How have Black leaders and communities in CA organized, advocated, and voted for strengthening housing access, affordability, and justice? How can redistricting set the stage for continued organizing, advocacy, and voting around housing justice?
I wrote an article with a friend called Breaking the Silence: Homelessness and Race, which illustrates how systems, not people, are broken. The three main reasons we are where we are today are because of deindustrialization (lost jobs due to outsourcing, technology, etc.), gentrification, and the War on Drugs dating back to the 1980s.
In the past 20 years, we forced certain data sets to be released publicly because we now know that cities and municipalities manufacture houselessness by their political and development decisions. In Los Angeles, 75-80% of unhoused people are Angelenos, and many are living on the streets in the communities where they used to be housed.
"This means many Angelenos are "houseless" in a community that is their home. I use the term "houseless" intentionally because a home has more than four walls. A home has a community of care, and that community of care at its best is going to include an affordable, humane place to be housed."
Redistricting will set the stage for the future of the housing justice movement. The maps drawn over the next few weeks by the CA Citizens Redistricting Committee will determine the voting path for representatives and ballot measures seeking to solve housing affordability, availability, and justice in our state.

Q: Xamarin forms UWP Silent printing I have the need to print a html document from a UWP Xamarin forms app with out the print confirmation dialog being shown to the user.
I have looked into Using full trust but this seems to have been removed.
Setting
<Capabilities>
    <rescap:Capability Name="runFullTrust"/>
</Capabilities>

Reports rescap is invalid.
I have also tried using a service to print with no luck.
Using InternetExplorer or WebBrowser to format and print works fine from a windows forms app but running in a service will ether never return from navigating to the document or from the command to print.
void PrintOnStaThread(string htmlPath)
{
    const short PRINT_WAITFORCOMPLETION = 2;
    const int OLECMDID_PRINT = 6;
    const int OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER = 2;
    using (var browser = new WebBrowser())
    {
        DebugLog.WriteLog("Control WebBrowser created");
        browser.Navigate(htmlPath);
        while (browser.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
        {
            DebugLog.WriteLog("DoEvents loop");
            Application.DoEvents();
        }
        DebugLog.WriteLog("DoEvents loop finished");
        dynamic ie = browser.ActiveXInstance;
        ie.ExecWB(OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, PRINT_WAITFORCOMPLETION);
        DebugLog.WriteLog("DoEvents loop finished end of method");
    }
}

or
public void Print(string htmlFilename)
{
    documentLoaded = false;
    documentPrinted = false;
    DebugLog.WriteLog("Pre new InternetExplorer()");
    InternetExplorer ie = new  InternetExplorerClass();
    ie.DocumentComplete += new DWebBrowserEvents2_DocumentCompleteEventHandler(ie_DocumentComplete);
    ie.PrintTemplateTeardown += new DWebBrowserEvents2_PrintTemplateTeardownEventHandler(ie_PrintTemplateTeardown);

    object missing = Missing.Value;
    DebugLog.WriteLog("Pre navigate");
    ie.Navigate(htmlFilename, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing);
    while (!documentLoaded && ie.QueryStatusWB(OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT) != OLECMDF.OLECMDF_ENABLED)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(100);
    }
    DebugLog.WriteLog("Doc loaded");
    ie.ExecWB(OLECMDID.OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT.OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, ref missing, ref missing);
    DebugLog.WriteLog("Printing");
    while (!documentPrinted)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(100);
        DebugLog.WriteLog("Printing loop");
    }
    DebugLog.WriteLog("Printed");
    ie.DocumentComplete -= ie_DocumentComplete;
    ie.PrintTemplateTeardown -= ie_PrintTemplateTeardown;
    ie.Quit();
}

I have tried many different variants of these approaches all with the same result.
Implementing code that people have used to the past (dated around 2016) seems to no longer work so I am assuming that this has been restricted by Microsoft.
Does anyone know away to achieve what i need to do?

A: You're on the right track with a full trust component. Silent printing is a known gap in the UWP context, and it currently requires a full trust component. There is a UserVoice entry to allow direct printing being explored.
The problem you're having with the full trust capability is that you need to define the rescap prefix in your manifest as shown in the Restricted Capabilities section of the App capability declarations document .

To declare a restricted capability, modify your app package manifest source file (Package.appxmanifest). Add the xmlns:rescap XML namespace declaration, and use the rescap prefix when you declare your restricted capability. For example, here's how to declare the appCaptureSettings capability.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Package
    ...
    xmlns:rescap="http://schemas.microsoft.com/appx/manifest/foundation/windows10/restrictedcapabilities"
    IgnorableNamespaces="... rescap">
...
<Capabilities>
    <rescap:Capability Name="appCaptureSettings"/>
</Capabilities>
</Package>

I don't suspect that the code you looked at from 2016 didn't work in a UWP context then either. I don't know specifically what you're running into when printing from a service: doing so is significantly more complicated than it sounds both in setting up the service correctly to be able to print and in making sure that you use printing API that are designed for use in a service (my best guess is that the IE controls you're using aren't). Printing from a full trust component in your app will be much easier and more direct. You can write that component in WinForms if that's the framework you're most familiar with.

As part of a makeover at Disney California Adventure, the popular California Screamin' roller coaster will be remade into the Incredicoaster, inspired by the Pixar Animation Studios movie "The Incredibles."
The news of the roller coaster change, announced on the Disneyland Resort blog, is among the first few details offered on plans to redo Paradise Pier, a boardwalk-inspired area of California Adventure Park.
California Screamin' will close Jan. 8, with plans to reopen with its new look in the summer of 2018. The coaster will include a "mid-century-modern-style" loading area and new ride vehicles, the blog said.
The park, which opened in 2001, was originally intended to reflect the fun-and-sun attitude of California but initially failed to draw the crowds Disney had hoped. The latest makeover is part of a larger effort over the last few years to inject California Adventure with more Disney characters and boost attendance.
During the D23 Expo in July, Disney representatives announced plans to add characters from Pixar movies to Paradise Pier, converting it to Pixar Pier. Pixar is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Co.
A neighborhood on the western side of the boardwalk will be inspired by another Pixar film, "Inside Out," and will include a "family-friendly attraction," the Disney blog said.
Mickey's Fun Wheel, the giant Ferris wheel in the center of the boardwalk, will have a new look, with each of the 24 gondolas on the wheel featuring a different Pixar character, the blog said. Among other construction projects that will begin Jan. 8, the midway games on the boardwalk will also be overhauled, each with a new Pixar flavor.

Things To Consider For Renting a Port-A-Potty by Hogansburg, New York!
Typically people don't think of a portable restroom rental company as the first place they'd contact when having an event, but it'smost of the time needed when large crowds are present.Most people used a porta potty at some point in their life, yet when it comes time to actually rent several for an event, the process can bemore challenging than you would think.
Any outdoor occasions, and even some indoor events, will require facilities for your guests. From the smallest occasions to the largest wedding, porta potties are always going to be a requirement to make sure your event goes smoothly. How upscale your gathering will be, how many people will be coming and how long the event will be are the major factors determining which types of portable toilets you're going to require. Reading up on the business and the varieties of porta potties they have available is sound advice before choosing any old stalls.
Foremost, think about the many portable toilet choices that you'll be presented with when selecting a vendor. The two broadest choices for toilet rentals is porta potty stalls and complete toilet trailers. Also, think about whether separate hand washing facilities and sanitation aids are available, and what is required to ensure that toilet trailers have the power and lighting you need. Finally, don't forget to inquire about how the toilets are serviced during especially long events, events in hot weather, and get togethers with a large number of attendees.
Your entry-level porta potty will be made of plastic, feature a single stall and will come with toilet paper along with some sort of hand sanitizer . If you are trying to keep costs down, you could always use an outside sanitation station where attendees can wash their hands after, which will save you the extra fees of having to rent units with inside wash bins. Because portable toilets do not use typical plumbing, it contains strong deodorizing chemicals to disinfect and manage waste . The chemicals are the blue liquid found at the bottom of a portable toilet, and if you are renting for a long time, then you may need to inquire about removal and refill services.
Placement of your portable toilets is very important, whether you're having a wedding or a jobsite, if they're too far away it could really bog things down. You should make sure that your portable toilets are placed on dry, level ground and should be centrally located so that people have easy access to them, but not too close that they are in the way. Fortunately, you can change your porta potties to fit your occasion and needs by adding additional options. Even the nicest event can be ruined by low quality bathroom facilities, which is why you need to consider the quality of your portable toilet rental.
There's a variety of situations where you can benefit by getting a portable toilet rental on site for any occasion that involves large amounts of people. Scenarios where you probably want to think about renting upscale portable restrooms are weddings, business events or charity fundraisers. Whenever you are hosting people who are going to be dressing in in nicer cloths, it makes sense to opt for the more upscale portable toilet options. The purpose of these stalls would be to try and recreate the bathroom experience someone would enjoy while at a smaller indoors function.
Prior to finalizing your selection you will benefit from having an understanding of the different types of selections that come with your porta potty rental. Your standard portable toilet should come with the basic necessities like toilet paper, hand sanitizer, a holding tank and paper seat covers. You could even spring for a high end portable toilet that has a flushing capability and additional amenities like air fresheners or running water with a sink. The most upscale of mobile toilets will include a typical soap dispenser, mirror, and also a washing station. These selections are perfect for large outdoor weddings or formal events because guests will want to check how they look, and having an indoor light is a recommended amenity.
At the very least you're likely going to be forking over at least fifty dollars for renting a basic porta potty for a day, or as much as 0 depending on the location you're in. You certainly won't want to overestimate and end up paying for more stall than you need, so it's important to get the exact amount you want in order to save on fees. If you want to save as much money as you can its recommended you choose the portable toilet company that is closest to your event, that way you can save some money on delivery fees and the customer service team is close in case an issue arises. In wedding seasons and on weekdays, portable toilet vendors may raise the price of portable restrooms. You can get the best rates if you rent your portable toilets ahead of time throughout the off season. As long as you have a basic understanding of portable toilet options and what goes into their offerings, you'll be able to make the best choice in order to manage a great event regardless of how many guests you're expecting.

While the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Pfizer have been dominating headlines as governments around the world roll out mass-scale vaccination programs, Moderna has announced that its mRNA therapeutics and vaccines are also showing activity against variants of SARS-CoV-2, more commonly known as the Delta variant.
Rapid spread of Delta variant in Europe
As the Delta variant spreads quickly from countries including South Africa and India, European governments are clamping down on travel, introducing vaccine passport schemes to prevent another COVID wave. Moderna's positive results have been welcomed as another arrow in the quiver of the fight against the disease.
"As we seek to defeat the pandemic, it is imperative that we are proactive as the virus evolves. We remain committed to studying emerging variants, generating data, and sharing it as it becomes available. These new data are encouraging and reinforce our belief that the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine should remain protective against newly detected variants," Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna said in a press release.
Moderna is pursuing a clinical development strategy against emerging variants to address the pandemic as the virus continues to evolve. The company is also studying a multivalent booster candidate which combines a 50-50 mix of Moderna's authorized vaccine against ancestral strains, and a single vaccine at several dose levels in an ongoing study.
Personal COVID care at home
Meanwhile, a private clinic in Spain has made the innovation of providing personal care at home, in addition to its clinic. Offering a wide range of services, nurses will care for you—providing vaccines and health advice to prevent and care for illness such as COVID-19—at home, so you feel especially protected.
Moderna has received emergency—or other conditional or provisional—authorization for use of its COVID-19 vaccine in adults from health agencies in more than 50 countries, and an Emergency Use Listing (EUL) from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The company has also filed for emergency authorization for use of its COVID-19 vaccine in adolescents with health agencies in the European Union, Canada, the U.S., Switzerland, and Japan.
The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are similar in the way that they both require a double dose delivering a small amount of genetic code to cells to activate the immune system. The vaccine was 94.1% effective at preventing symptomatic Covid-19 after the second dose. The interval between Moderna doses is 28 days—compared to Pfizer's 21 days—and Moderna's must be shipped at -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Moderna COVID-19 vaccine & European Commission
The European Commission has purchased an additional 150 million doses of Moderna's vaccine, including the ability to purchase other COVID-19 vaccine candidates from Moderna's pipeline. This purchase brings the European Commission's confirmed order commitment to 460 million doses and sees Moderna's updated variant booster vaccine being introduced in 2022. The booster vaccine agreement now faces regulatory approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
The Commission has also granted a conditional marketing authorization (CMA) for COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna, based upon the recommendation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for use of the COVID-19 Vaccine Moderna for active immunization to prevent COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 virus in individuals 18 years of age and older.
"We appreciate the collaboration with the European Commission for these additional doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, which could be used for primary vaccination, including of children, or possibly as a booster if that becomes necessary to continue to defeat the pandemic," said Stephane Bancel. "We are encouraged by the initial booster data, which reinforce our confidence that our booster strategy should be protective against current variants. We will remain proactive as the virus evolves."

Five star First Direct tops customer service poll
First Direct has topped a Which? survey of 75 big UK brands after getting five out of five stars for all areas of customer service.
The telephone and internet bank received a customer service rating of 89% for, among other things, making customers feel valued, dealing effectively with problems and product knowledge.
Next on the list was John Lewis, followed by its supermarket chain Waitrose, which gained scores of 86% and 85% respectively. One of John Lewis's satisfied customers described it as "a model of customer service".
Bottom of the list, however, with a rating of only 44%, was AOL Broadband. One unhappy customer said the company had "no concept of the meaning of customer service". It was closely followed by fellow broadband provider TalkTalk and the bank Santander, both of which scored a mere 45%.
Which? chief executive Peter Vicary-Smith said: "Offering good customer service should be a priority for any business – it beggars belief that so many big name brands still fail to grasp such a basic concept."
A report undertaken by the TM Forum, an industry association for the information, communications and entertainment sectors, found, meanwhile, that improving the customer experience should be associated less with altruism and more with boosting the bottom line.
The Forum's managing director Rob Rich said: "While growth by acquisition increases overall revenues, it often creates tremendous challenges for profitability. Organic growth through increased customer loyalty and retention is a more effective driver of profit as well as a stronger predictor of future profitability."
The study entitled 'Exploiting Analytics' indicated that customer analytics could be used to predict customer lifetime value, which could, in turn, be employed across the customer lifecycle to boost both the customer experience and individual's profitability.
Other important factors in creating a positive customer experience, however, included top management support, strong programme governance and effective customer data management.

'Don't worry, I'm going to help you': Stranger saves mum and kids from sinking car
29 Oct, 2019 6:04am

As Robbie Cattle reached a terrified mum and two young kids who were treading water next to their sinking car, he told them "don't worry, I'm going to help you".
"One of the kids was screaming and she was panicking," he told the Herald.
"I said 'don't worry, I'm going to help you, I'm here now'."
Moments earlier he'd be driving down a Bucklands Beach Rd when he came across a group of people screaming on the side of the road. A car was submerged in water about 10 to 15m offshore.
While the exact details of how it got there are unclear, neighbours believed the car was parked in a steep driveway on the other side of the road but the handbrake might have failed.
The car entered the water on Sunday night. Photo / File
They say a man, believed to be the woman's husband and children's father, desperately tried to stop the car as it raced down the driveway on Sunday night. He wasn't able to stop it and it reportedly hit a parked car, flew across the road and landed in deep water.
Cattle said he just reacted to the situation, pulling his clothes off as his partner told him "go, go, go".
"She was on the phone to 111 and I was already pretty much half naked," he said.
The trained divemaster leapt into the cold water, swimming the 10m-15m distance to the screaming family who had managed to get out of the car.

When he reached the struggling trio he pulled the mother higher up above the waterline.
"She was starting to go under the water," Cattle said.
"Then I put her on my chest and she was holding them [the children]".
He swam back to shore as fast as he could with them in his arms, as the mother thanked him repeatedly.
Police later told him the water was 4 or 5m deep.
But Cattle's pretty humble about his actions.
"I didn't really do that much, I only just got them to shore," he said.
He later had to seek medical attention for his cut feet. But he says it could've been worse.
"I'm just glad that everyone got out alright and that we're not reading a different article."
The man was seriously injured and taken to hospital.

Liam Sheedy interview: "We want the real Tipperary to stand up in Croke Park - if we do that it will give us a sporting chance"
Brian McDonnell
bmcdonnell@tipperarystar.ie
Liam Sheedy absolutely believes in his Tipperary panel of players. Picture: Eamonn McGee
Liam Sheedy chatted with members of the local press for twenty-four minutes on Monday evening and during the discussion the Tipperary senior hurling manager mentioned the word "performance" seventeen times. And, on each occasion the Portroe man was careful to hitch on his heartfelt belief in the Premier County players. Liam Sheedy solemnly believes that the Tipperary players will deliver a performance against Wexford in Sunday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship semi-final.
"I sat here before the Cork match and we were going out to play the Munster champions in the first round of the championship. We knew that we would have to bring a performance and the lads knew that they would have to bring a performance. And, they brought a massive performance," Liam Sheedy explained to the Tipperary Star.
"So, now we find ourselves facing the Leinster champions and, likewise, we have to bring a massive performance. If we don't we will come up short. This is a massive opportunity for this group to go and get themselves back into an All-Ireland final.
"We find ourselves exactly where we want to be and we are hell-bent on bringing a performance. We want the real Tipperary to stand up in Croke Park next Sunday because if we do I think that will give us a sporting chance. And, we all know the consequences if we don't," Liam Sheedy said.
MUNSTER FINAL DEFEAT
Tipperary roared through the opening four rounds of the Munster championship when accounting for Cork (2-28 to 1-24), Waterford (2-30 to 0-18), Clare (3-21 to 0-17) and Limerick (1-22 to 0-21) before encountering a real speed bump in the provincial final when the defending All-Ireland champions, Limerick, presented the Premier County with a twelve-point defeat (2-14 to 2-26) at Páirc na nGael.
"You have to ask yourself do you lose or do you learn," Liam Sheedy said as his thoughts turned to the aftermath of the disappointing Munster final performance and aspects of the All-Ireland quarter-final victory over Laois (2-25 to 1-18).
"We were not really happy with what we brought the last day (versus Laois). We did enough and we got over the line, but, ultimately, we didn't really find our flow and we really need to find our flow," Sheedy added before highlighting the Premier County's indiscipline in the tackle.
"We gave away thirteen shots at goal and eleven of those were converted. In this game you just can't give double-digit frees away; having looked back on the footage some of it wasn't that we were unlucky. We were late coming and we found ourselves positioned wrongly for the tackle. And, as a result of that the forward will always have the advantage. So, we were disappointed with aspects of our play.
"Tackling is a huge part of the game now. And, in parts of this championship we have not really matched up in that regard, but nothing focuses you like the Leinster champions and nothing focuses you like the All-Ireland semi-final. We know that we have to bring a very, very disciplined and controlled performance to the pitch on Sunday because there is a lot of energy coming in this Wexford jersey. We are well aware of that, but, likewise, we have a huge energy in this team and we didn't really hit the heights of the round robin series in Munster in the Munster final or in the All-Ireland series to date."
IN A GOOD PLACE
Irrespective of such technical issues Liam Sheedy has argued that his players are in a good place emotionally.
"People shouldn't underestimate the impact of losing the Munster final heavily," Liam Sheedy explained.
"The last twenty-five minutes, really, was a no-show from us. And, that's the first time that we would have seen that all year - that does take its toll and it took its toll on the group because we set very high standards for ourselves. And, when we don't achieve them we are extremely disappointed.
"The players know what a good performance looks like. We don't measure ourselves just on the scoreboard. We are very clear on how we measure ourselves and our performance. And, we didn't measure up, especially in the second half, in that Munster final," Sheedy said.
"It was hugely disappointing for us, but full credit goes to the All-Ireland champions: they put us to the sword. We had to learn from that and we had to re-group. We had to go again and training has been very competitive in the last number of weeks which is really encouraging."
But the senior management group led by Liam Sheedy (Portroe), Tommy Dunne (Toomevara) and Darragh Egan (Kiladangan) have their players exactly where they want them to be.
"We are exactly where we wanted to be," agreed Liam Sheedy.
"We did not take the route that we would have liked to have taken, but I have seen enough out of this team to know that if we bring what we are capable of bringing we have a good shout."
PERCEPTION PLAYS A PART
The perception of a team, especially when it suffers a comprehensive defeat, can change dramatically. Tipperary did ship a twelve-point defeat in the provincial final, but for long stages of the championship the Premier County set the pace. So, perhaps, perception is playing a part; Tipperary may not be as bad as Limerick made them seem in the Munster decider.
"Sometimes when it is going very well people nearly put you on a pedestal way higher than where you actually should be and then, obviously, when things are not going as well, sometimes, they are very quick to push you down further than you actually are," Liam Sheedy revealed.
"It's amazing - we were probably being spoken about in the really high echelons after the first four rounds (of the championship) and after the last two matches we seemed to have been, somewhat, written off in a number of sectors. So, I suppose for us it's really about asking ourselves what have we got in the tank?
"These guys have gone through eight months of extremely productive work," Liam Sheedy added.
"I feel privileged to be managing a really good group and they are giving it absolutely everything. I could not be more pleased by how they have applied themselves. All I can ask of them now is to really empty the tank for this cause. What we are looking for now is for this group to bring all of the work that they have done out onto the pitch on Sunday."

WEXFORD ARE SERIOUS
Wexford are undefeated and are provincial champions - David Fitzgerald's men drew with Dublin (2-19 to 1-22), Galway (0-16 each) and Kilkenny (0-21 to 1-18) before seeing off the challenge of Brian Cody's men in the Leinster final (1-23 to 0-23) while the Model County also beat Carlow (2-28 to 0-19) en route to this stage of the championship.
"This is a serious, serious Wexford side which is seriously well prepared," Liam Sheedy said.
"They are in peak physical condition - they will stay the distance. They have extremely good hurlers and they have a lot of pace in their team. And, they are very comfortable in the game plan that they play.
"Their shooting efficiency in the Leinster final was something that you would have to admire - they only had three wides. So, when they got a chance their radar was on; that's why we feel that we are really going to have to apply the right level of pressure to force the shots somewhat. And, we know that if we foul and we give them the free shot then Lee Chin will punish us every time.
"We all know that this is a formidable opponent that we face on Sunday, but what else would you expect," Sheedy added.
"What else would you expect when you get into the last four of the All-Ireland series?
"The likelihood is that you are going to get to sixty or sixty-five minutes and there will only be a point or two in it either way - that's what you can expect.
"We know exactly what's facing us: they are the Leinster champions and they are unbeaten in the championship, but we also know what we can bring. And, all of our focus for the last two weeks has been on what we are going to bring," the Tipperary senior hurling manager explained.
"We are not naïve in any way. We are well aware of what they bring and how they play, but, ultimately, we are also aware of what we can bring. What I have the most control over is my own team and my own dressing room and that's what we really, really focus on. We know exactly how Wexford play and we know what their style of play is. Ultimately, the game will be played on one team's terms for large parts of the contest and whoever is able to impose their strengths and their game on the opposition is going to have a really good chance of bringing home the prize.
"Wexford are a formidable opposition, but when I look at my team and when I look at what we can bring I am hugely excited. We set very high standards for ourselves in this group and that is all driven by the players themselves. They know that they have not hit the heights of what's required to be successful over the last two matches. They were a shadow of themselves versus what they brought to the previous four matches. So, I am looking for the real Tipperary to come out," Liam Sheedy said.
"The preparation has been superb. The lads have really trained hard. Everyone around the squad is doing everything that they can for this group and the group is responding. We will be asking the group now to go and deliver a performance in Croke Park. I have total belief in this group and their ability to go and bring a performance. If we do we have a real chance of getting to an All-Ireland final. And, if we don't we will come up short."

MTV's "Teen Mom 2" Season Two Debut Is Most Watched Premiere In History Of The "Teen Mom" Franchise With 4.2 Million Total Viewers
TV By The Numbers December 7, 2011
via press release:
National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy Cites "16 and Pregnant / Teen Mom Effect" as a Factor in the Historic 2010 Teen Birth Rate Decline
New York, NY – December 7, 2011 — MTV's season two premiere of "Teen Mom 2" is the most watched season premiere in the franchise history, attracting 4.2 million total viewers and a 4.1 P12-34 rating. The season debut powered MTV to its highest rated Tuesday in network history, and marked a 21 percent increase over the previous "Teen Mom 2" series premiere in January 2011. Among W18-24, "Teen Mom 2" averaged a 10.5 rating, the second highest in series history. "Teen Mom 2" was also the #1 program of the day with W12-34 and #2 with P12-34.
The "Teen Mom 2" season 2 premiere will repeat on MTV tonight at 9pm ET/PT and 11pm ET/PT. Additionally, viewers can watch Chelsea, Jenelle, Kailyn and Leah's "16 and Pregnant" episodes when MTV re-airs them on Saturday, December 10, 2011 from 7:00am – 11:30am ET/PT and Sunday, December 11 from 4:30pm – 9:00pm ET.
Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) announced that the U.S. teen birth rate declined 9 percent in 2010 and is now at the lowest level ever reported. Experts from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy cite the "Teen Mom" franchise as one of the key factors contributing to this steep decline.
In reference to the historic drop, the CEO of the National Campaign Sarah Brown recently stated, "Teens are being more careful for a number of reasons, including the recession, more media attention to this issue—including the "16 and Pregnant/Teen Mom effect?—and more attention to and investment in evidence-based programs. But at the end of the day, the thanks and admiration go to teens themselves."

Q: How to attach different picture for each product type I am building an eCommerce website and I want to add different combinations for the same product.
I use jQuery to add extra input fields as well.
I can successfully insert all data related to product_variation things like color, weight, type, qty but except images.
My database tables: products, product_images, product_variations.
In product_variations table I have field product_variation_image which I want to use for storing image for specific product type. I just don't know how to insert image there for specific product type, yes I know I need to use foreach loop but the problem is I'm already using foreach loop for product variation data, I tried so many different things nesting foreach into foreach but nothing seems to work.
P.S product_images table I'm only use for product basic images also for products which don't have any type.
I will leave my code below... with some comments on where the problem might be.
 public function product_store(Request $request)
{
    // PRODUCT TYPE VARIABLES //
    $productTypes = $request->product_type;
    $productColors = $request->product_color;
    $productWeight = $request->product_weight;
    $productQtys = $request->product_qty;
    $productPrices = $request->product_variation_price;
    $productTypeImages = $request->file('product_variation_image');
    // PRODUCT TYPE VARIABLES ENDS //

    // PRODUCT COVER IMAGE //
    $productCoverImage = $request->file('product_cover_image');
    $productCoverImageNewName = hexdec(uniqid()).'.'.$productCoverImage->getClientOriginalExtension();
    Image::make($productCoverImage)->resize(917,1000)->save('upload/products/cover-images/'.$productCoverImageNewName);
    $productCoverImageLink = 'upload/products/cover-images/'.$productCoverImageNewName;
    // PRODUCT COVER IMAGE  ENDS //

    if(!empty(implode($productTypes))) {
        $productId = Products::insertGetId([

}

A: I have come up with different solution.
After inserting product with multiple images and if product has any variations, I redirect user to another page. Where he can select image for each type if he wants to. And I'm inserting only image id from product_images table, to product_variations table field - product_variation_image.
By the way, I use a jQuery plugin called image-picker for that. And now everything works and my client is happy with that.

 public function product_store(Request $request)

    $productTypes = $request->product_type;
    $productColors = $request->product_color;
    $productWeight = $request->product_weight;
    $productQtys = $request->product_qty;
    $productPrices = $request->product_variation_price;
    $productTypeImages = $request->file('product_variation_image');
    // PRODUCT TYPE VARIABLES ENDS //
    // PRODUCT COVER IMAGE //
    $productCoverImage = $request->file('product_cover_image');
    if($productCoverImage) {
        $productCoverImageNewName = hexdec(uniqid()) . '.' . $productCoverImage->getClientOriginalExtension();

Bermuda – Oceania Cruises
Posted on November 28, 2014 by SUNGRL
After five days crossing the Atlantic we were looking forward to exploring Bermuda. Our ship was docked at Kings Wharf, Bermuda for two days. Kings Wharf is also known as the Royal Naval Dockyard which was built by the British Navy in 1815. The Georgian style fort served as a North Atlantic base during the World Wars. In 1975 the Bermuda Maritime Museum opened, and restoration of the Dockyard has made it a popular tourist destination.
On the first day we got a day pass for the buses and ferries. First up we took the ferry across to Hamilton which is the capital of Bermuda. We were really impressed with the friendliness of the locals. Everyone said hello and asked how you were and they were all so genuine. We really liked the architecture as well – lots of quaint and colourful buildings all over the island. The building roof's are also unusual in that they are tiled with a concrete or plaster covering. This finishing adds protection against the storms and high winds that sometimes plague the island.
We were studying the map and bus schedule on the ferry and one of the guys who works on the ferry came over and sat down to chat about the island. We had heard that Bermuda was very expensive and this guy confirmed this by telling us that there was very little property on the island that cost under USD1.2 million. He also said to be above the poverty line you had to be earning at least USD70,000. Almost everything is imported which adds to the expensive nature of everything. The local currency is the Bermudian Dollar which is valued at approximately 1:1 with the US Dollar.
Bermuda's economy is based on offshore insurance and reinsurance, and tourism, the two largest economic sectors. Bermuda had one of the world's highest GDP per capita for most of the 20th century and several years beyond. Recently, its economic status has been affected by the global recession, however, the people of Bermuda enjoy a high standard of living.
We had a wander along the waterfront in Hamilton which is called Front St where the Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich has one of his super yachts, Eclipse moored – it was huge. They have some lovely shops and they wouldn't be a British Overseas Territory without Marks & Spencer. Apart from Marks & Spencer I found it hard to comprehend that the country was British as the people were all dark skinned and spoke with American like accents. The island actually reminded me of an upscale Fiji or Rarotonga.
We walked up to the bus station which was next to the City Hall. We were heading to St George. The island has these pink buses which go all over the island – we learnt quickly that the bus drivers think they are driving in the Formula One. The taxi driver we spoke to on our second day on the island said didn't you see the t-shirts that said "I survived the Bermuda Buses" – definitely summed it up.
St George used to be the capital of Bermuda. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site and there are many remnants of the island's involvement in the American Civil War. We went to King's Square which is the social centre of St George and saw the Town Hall which was built in 1782.
After St George we caught the bus back to Hamilton where we had lunch at the Pickled Onion. The menu was extensive and we enjoyed a nice lunch overlooking the water. Back on the bus after lunch to check out one of the south shore beaches – Horseshoe Bay. The colour of the water is amazing and we enjoyed our walk along the beach. Apparently the sea temperature is about 25 degrees and there were a few people out swimming. Back to the bus stop to catch the bus back to the ship.
Bermuda lies about 600 nautical miles off the east coast of the US. "The Bermudas" are actually a group of approximately 180 islands, with the seven largest islands connected by causeways and bridges. At the core the islands are volcanic. The land above sea level is limestone formed over long centuries by coral and crushed sea shells. The ruggedly elegant limestone adds a wonderful (and practical) character to the style of the island's architecture.
Bermuda has been on navigational maps of the new world since the 1500's but none of the European powers exploring the Americas thought of settlement until the English in the early 1600's. Well marked charts were obviously of little help over the centuries to the hundreds of ships which met their doom upon the treacherous reefs that surround Bermuda. Today the misfortune of the early sailors works to the islands advantage. The multitude of shipwrecks, together with having the northernmost coral reefs in the Atlantic, gives Bermuda some fantastic sites for snorkelling and SCUBA diving.
Following the US Civil War, Bermuda was growing and exporting a lot of vegetables to US markets in New York; among the best and most popular exports were onions. All was going smoothly and profitably until 1898 when some Texans got hold of a packet of onion seed from Bermuda. The entrepreneurial Texans registered the name Bermuda Onions and started growing and exporting them all over the US.
In the best English tradition, if it is 4pm in Bermuda it is time for Tea. Nearly 5,000 years after the Chinese first boiled the little green leaves, tea finally reached England in the mid 1600's (well after coffee). It quickly became one of the favourite drinks of the working class. The tradition of Afternoon Tea as it is known today is said to have started in the mid 1800's with the Duchess of Bedford, one of the Ladies-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria. On a stronger note, locally produced Black Seal Rum is an island favourite. When the rum is mixed with ginger beer soda you have the popular "Dark & Stormy." Another popular mixed drink is the Bermuda Rum Swizzle. This cocktail combines rum, fresh fruit juice, bitters for the snap and grenadine syrup for sweetness. The Bermuda Brewery Company brews some very good, dark, German-Pilsner style stout beers.
Bermuda is the northernmost point of the so-called Bermuda Triangle, a region of sea in which, according to legend, a number of aircraft and surface vessels have disappeared under supposedly unexplained or mysterious circumstances. The island is in the hurricane belt and prone to severe weather.
The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the Western Atlantic Ocean that has become associated with mysterious disasters. Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the triangle shaped area covers about 440,000 square miles between the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The sinister reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in which floating masses of gulfweed were regarded as uncanny and perilous by early sailors; others date the notoriety of the area to the mid 19th century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in 1918, when the USS Cyclops vanished.
The incident that consolidated the reputation of the Bermuda Triangle was the disappearance in December 1945 of Flight 19, a training squadron of five US Navy torpedo bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with 14 crewmen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages; a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster with 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared was the tanker ship Maine Sulphur Queen, which vanished with 39 men on board in 1963.
Books, articles, and television broadcasts investigating the Bermuda Triangle emphasise that, in the case of most of the disappearances, the weather was favourable, the disappearances occurred in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact, and the vessels vanished without a trace. However, sceptics point out that many supposed mysteries result from careless or biased consideration of data. For example, some losses attributed to the Bermuda Triangle actually occurred outside the area of the triangle in inclement weather conditions or in darkness, and some can be traced to known mechanical problems or inadequate equipment.
In the case of Flight 19, for example, the squadron commander was relatively inexperienced, a compass was faulty, the squadron failed to follow instructions, and the aircraft was operating under conditions of deteriorating weather and visibility and with a low fuel supply. Other proposed explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include the action of physical forces known to science, a "hole in the sky", an unusual chemical component in the region's seawater, and abduction by extraterrestrial beings. Scientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that the number of disappearances in the region is not abnormal and most of the disappearances have logical explanations. Paranormal associations with the Bermuda Triangle continue to persist in the public mind.

Q: SSIS package execute application(. exe) file which is protected by password I have a application (. Exe) file,
At the time of running, it is asking the password to process.
My task is to run that exe file using SSIS package and pass the static password at the runtime.
Kindly help me to resolve my issue.

A: It is a matter of making the Arguments as an expression. In that expression you can pass the entire command line string including the password. This when you expose it via Package Configuration, it can then be made dynamic. Here is a link that shows how a SQL Server Package is used to zip a file with password which you can use to tweak for your package - SSIS: How to Compress/Zip your file using 7-Zip?
