Migrated my Yosemity machine to a new El Capitan machine with the migration assistant and now Sourcetree shuts down immediately. Downloaded the latest version 2.0.5.2 but no success.
Actually, the latest version is 2.1. Can you try to downloaded this version and try again. If I'm not wrong, the issue which you were facing was a bug which was fixed on version 2.0.5.8.
Well, just tried again, el Capitan 11.3, Sourcetree 2.1 does not crash but that is all it does. It just sits there in the menu bar and nothing works. I can activate menues (eg. preferences) but just nothing. Quitting via keyboard or the menu works, nothing else.

Michigan football gets commitment from 2023 4-star defensive lineman Joel Starlings
The immediate benefit of Michigan football's win over Ohio State was a trip to the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis. The offshoot was a sudden boost for recruiting.
Coach Jim Harbaugh and his staff receiving a verbal commitment from 2023 defensive lineman Joel Starlings of Benedictine College Preparatory in Richmond, Virginia. Starlings, who is rated among the top 200 players in the country, announced his decision on social media Sunday evening.
At 6-5 and 310 pounds, Starlings possesses the physical tools necessary to man the interior defensive line for defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald. Paired with the commitment of 2022 defensive lineman Kenneth Grant — a 6-4, 335-pound nose tackle from Indiana — it's easy to recognize the coaching staff's desire to become stouter at the line of scrimmage.
Starlings was among a slew of recruits in Ann Arbor over the weekend for Michigan's upset of Ohio State. He posted a video from behind the U-M bench and teased a potential commitment.
The verbal pledge from Starlings gives Michigan two commitments in the class of 2023 after Ann Arbor Huron kicker Adam Samaha broke the ice late last week.
Starlings held additional scholarship offers from Georgia, Michigan State, Florida State, Penn State, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Oregon, among others.

Garcia comes up aces on a frenetic Friday at Match Play
Already the most fickle event in golf, the Dell Technologies Match Play on Friday was an endless frenzy. "You just never know what can happen out there," Billy Horschel said after beating Max Homa on the third playoff hole. 64 seed in Match Play history to make it to the weekend. 60 seed, while Erik van Rooyen (62) advanced by beating Daniel Berger with a par on the second playoff hole. The eight playoffs to decide group winners broke the previous mark of five in 2017 since group play began six yeas ago.
An opening day of emotions and a few surprises at Match Play
In the Dell Technologies Match Play, every day can feel like Sunday. "I turned out to hit that shot really well, went super high over the trees. It was his biggest loss in Match Play since Ben Crane beat him, 8 and 7, in the second round of 2011. Kevin Kisner, the defending champion from 2019 — the Match Play was the third event to be canceled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic — won his seventh straight match by beating Louis Oosthuizen. When you're up against an opponent who plays really, really well and you play just a little better, it's really satisfying."
Big finish sends Garcia to big lead at Players Championship
A solid start turned into a brilliant one for Garcia, who finished birdie-birdie-eagle for a 7-under 65, staking the Spaniard to a three-shot lead among the early starters. Garcia was among only five players from the morning draw who broke 70 in what appeared to be ideal conditions, with only a mild breeze and a course in immaculate condition. Ad"For some reason, it just kind of fits my eye," said Garcia, who has a pair of runner-up finishes to go with his victory. He played alongside Rory McIlroy, who began his round with a double bogey from the woods on No. 10 and finish a nine-hole score of 43 by hitting two tee shots into the water on the 18th for a quadruple-bogey 8.

Phillip, File)PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The backdrop was a navy blue board filled with 33 logos of The Players Championship. The tour has played 36 out of the 39 weeks since it returned, stopping only because of holidays, not an outbreak. Players received a text late at night after the first round saying that The Players Championship was canceled and there would be no tournaments for at least a month (it turned into three months). AdMonahan remembers missing the opening tee shot for the first time since he joined the PGA Tour as executive director of The Players Championship.
Kevin Na has a big finish and wins the Sony Open
Chris Kirk putts on the 13th green during the third round at the Sony Open golf tournament Saturday, Jan. 16, 2021, in Honolulu. Na finished one shot ahead of Joaquin Niemann and Chris Kirk, and only one of them got a consolation prize. Niemann chipped in for birdie from 55 feet on the par-3 17th and got up-and-down with a long bunker shot on the 18th hole for a 66. Needing nearly 150 FedEx Cup points at the Sony Open, his tie for second was worth 245 points. He looked comfortable even when the Sony Open appeared to be slipping away.
Steele takes lead with 61 to get another chance in Sony Open

(AP Photo/Marco Garcia)HONOLULU – Brendan Steele knows he can play well at the Sony Open whether it's windy or calm, in sunshine or rain. One year after Steele lost a late lead at Waialae and lost in a playoff, he delivered the lowest score of his career Saturday in ideal conditions with a 9-under 61 that gave him a two-shot lead going into the final round. "You hope that you come back and you play well and erase whatever negative memories there are," Steele said. It was wide open on Saturday, and it's not likely to be any different in the final round.
Todd matches Johnson's 61 to take the lead at Travelers
Both golfers shot bogey-free rounds, with Todd making five birdies on the front nine and Johnson five on the back. Todd said the round became a game of whatever you can do, I can do just as well. Its hard to miss the leader boards obviously, so (Johnson's) name was up there from a pretty early point, Todd said. Mackenzie Hughes, who led after a 60 on Thursday, shot his second straight 68 for sole possession of fourth place. Nick Watney withdrew just before the second round of last weeks RBC Heritage Championship.
Tour recognizes racial injustice with moment of silence

Phillip)FORT WORTH, Texas Colonial already was quiet with no spectators around for the return of the PGA Tour on Thursday. As the PGA Tour commits to amplifying voices and efforts to end systemic issues of racial and social injustices, we have reserved the 8:46 tee time to pause for a moment of silence, prayer and reflection, Monahan said. Harold Varner III, one of four PGA Tour players of black heritage, was the strongest voice. He also pointed to Woods, not only as prolific a winner the PGA Tour has ever seen, but a player with a multiracial heritage.

Spirit Bear: Echoes of the Past
Children's book written by Dr. Cindy Blackstock
Children's book tells story of Victoria's removal of Sir John A. Macdonald statue - Times Colonist, Oct 18, 2021.
Victoria's statue of Sir John A. Macdonald and the decision to remove it from outside City Hall are featured in a new children's book.
The story, by First Nations child-welfare advocate Cindy Blackstock, tells the story of a family of bears visiting Victoria and learning about Macdonald's role in creating the residential-school system as they witness the removal of his statue from City Hall. Spirit Bear: Echoes of the Past is the fourth in a series of children's books on reconciliation. (Egan-Elliott, R. Oct 18, 2021. Times Colonist.)
(Photo of Spirit Bear provided by Dr. Cindy Blackstock)
This bear was gifted to the school from Dr. Cindy Blackstock and Dr. Jeannine Carriere was appointed as its kokum or caretaker. Jeannine asked Cindy if this could be a two-spirited bear as Spirit Bear is male and he has female cousins doing ambassador work across Canada. Our two spirit kids also need an ambassador so thought this was a perfect opportunity.
For now, the bear is named 'Sweety' as Jeannine calls her grandchildren by that name often since they were babies. In the new year, however, we should have a naming ceremony. Dr. Billie Allan has offered to link her with the two spirit student group to introduce the bear and perhaps some of them would like to be part of naming as well as making them some bling.
Jeannine gave Sweety some bling such as the sash, beaded medicine wheel and cedar rose. Tracy Underwood made them an adorable Cowichan hat with the ear holes. Jeannine would like to approach Aunty May for some Cowichan slippers. All this can happen in the new year.
The bear came with Jeannine to the Reconciliation Forum where she spoke on the panel with Susan Aglukart. There were some two spirit youth in the audience and a mom who were very happy that our bear is two-spirit ambassador for our kids in care."

With the advancement of technology it has provided us with many benefits as well as helped us to lead a life of luxury and ease. It has also helped in diminishing the distance between the people and increased chances of communication. However, like all good things, this advancement too has certain negativities which are majorly looming up on us like the security threats that are becoming stronger and stronger. This makes security testing very important in the current days.
Very Frequent Changes: With the ever increasing demands of the customers, the developers have to bring about frequent updates and changes in the application they are developing. This has to be combined with the regular testing of the software to check if the security is top notch even after the changes that have been brought about. Previously testing needed to be done on the alpha and the final product, but this frequent testing poses to be a real challenge. These changes make all year round testing compulsory.
Too Many Pages: With the development of better and more detailed applications, contents which require testing also increases. This in turn increases the time required for testing these detailed applications. Automation tools may ease this challenge faced by the testers but it only accounts for certain vulnerabilities of the applications the rest of which has to be detected by manual process in order to be rectified. This challenge can be somewhat avoided by keeping special focus on the various threats which appears again and again on the application which may help in cutting down the cost of the whole security testing process and ease the challenges.
Lots of Privilege Levels: Prevention of privilege escalation via holes in the application is one of the major jobs of the security testing process. With the increase of privileges provided to the customers the number of security tests applicable to the applications automatically increases. Increased number of tests will result in increased time invested as well as increase focus for each of the application which becomes a major issue for the testers. The problem intensifies when the automated tools fails to find the holes which further escalates the already provided privileges and time consuming manual testing procedures are required for it.
A Lot of Ajax: Introduction of Ajax poses to be a serious security threat in the current days. Ajax enables the users of the various applications to request for various little changes in the same. Each of these various little requests allows tempering of the available security changes as these changes could bring about various kinds of cracks in the system. This leads to constant security testing of application by the testers. Another major problem is the fact that although these problems may be related to the old school ones, tools for Ajax security testing are still developing.
Tools Haven't Matured: The most prevalent challenge which is faced by the testers during security testing of the application is the lack of tools which will be capable of performing automated security tests on the applications that are being developed. The automated tools which are available are only partially capable of detecting the security breaches or loopholes present on the application. This compels the testers to perform the various security tests by the old school manual testing process which requires more labor as well as greater amount of time for the completion and detection of flaws.
These are some of the major challenges that the testers are facing when it comes to security testing of the various software.
In my recent research, I've found that automated testing tools have a long way to go to becoming easily customizable. A lot of manual testing is still required along with script writing.
In my experience I have found that several skilled testers still faces challenges while doing security testing as this testing requires versatile skills. Many testers uses automated security testing tools but at the end we need to rewrite test cases as we don't solely rely on automation testing.

Boat supplier taps Milford
Company planning to invest $1 million, create 75 jobs by '23
LISA GREEN | The Journal Gazette
A startup boating industry supplier plans to set up shop in Milford, creating up to 75 new jobs by 2023.
Williamsburg Marine will invest more than $1 million to equip a 30,000-square-foot building on Old State Road 15 to produce marine interiors and related components and accessories. The company is already working with a network of mid- to upper-end marine customers and plans to be operational in Milford by mid-fall, the Kosciusko Economic Development Corp. said Tuesday in a news release.
Karen Weaver, Williamsburg Marine's general manager, said the leadership group has more than 30 years of experience in the industry.
"We are excited to start our operations in Milford and to become a leading employer in the community," she said in a statement.
Elaine Bedel, president of the Indiana Economic Development Corp., said the state loves "to see companies like Williamsburg Marine choose Indiana to start and scale operations." She said the "business climate and talent pipeline" should allow the company to thrive in Kosciusko County.
The IEDC offered Williamsburg Marine up to $750,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans, the news release said. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is not eligible to claim incentives until after state residents are hired.
The types of jobs and wage information was not immediately available Tuesday afternoon.
Alan Tio, CEO of the Kosciusko Economic Development Corp., called Williamsburg Marine a "high growth potential company."
The Milford Redevelopment Commission has approved a training grant of up to $50,000 in lieu of tax abatement to reimburse the company for the costs of training new employees.
"This announcement reaffirms our belief that Milford is great location between Goshen and Warsaw to start and grow businesses," said Dan Brown, chairman of the Milford Redevelopment Commission, in a statement.

Julie O'Rourke, seen here with husband Anthony Esteves, never thought she would move back to her home state.
If you had asked Julie O'Rourke at age 18 whether she'd live in Maine as an adult, she would have looked at you like you were crazy.
The apparel designer — who produces a line of children's clothing called Rudy Jude — grew up in Blue Hill, Maine, just north of Deer Isle. Like many young residents of Maine's relatively sleepy coast, she couldn't wait to get out of state.
Julie, Diogo and Anthony: a hard-working family enjoys a moment of ease.
In the orbit of the Pine Tree State, if you're not from Maine, you're simply "from away." But despite such an intense amount of state pride, "away" is exactly the place a lot of young Mainers dream of going. Julie spent 10 years exploring Providence, New York, Ireland and Hawaii before choosing to return home. She built a life with her partner, Anthony Esteves, who she met at the Rhode Island School of Design, and their young son, Diogo.

DETROIT — General Motors and Henry Ford Bloom Adjustment active a absolute adjustment to accommodate a advanced ambit of bloom affliction casework for up to 24,000 salaried advisers and their audience in Southeast Michigan.
The absolute adjustment with GM is the aboriginal of its affectionate in Michigan. Only about 3 percent of self-insured companies nationally accept some anatomy of absolute diplomacy with providers, said the National Business Group on Health.
But a growing cardinal of ample self-insured administration — Boeing, Walmart, Lowe's, Whole Foods, Disney and Intel — accept activate that one abiding way to abate agent bloom affliction costs and advance annual is to cut out middle-men bloom insurers and advance with chip bloom affliction commitment systems that allotment amount accumulation and pay based on value.
Under the five-year adjustment for GM ConnectedCare, Henry Ford charge hit an anniversary banking annual and will be captivated answerable for hitting key quality, amount and appliance of casework metrics on a advanced ambit of services, said Dr. Bruce Muma, acting admiral and CEO of Henry Ford Physician Network.
Metrics accommodate targets for chump service, antitoxin care, such abiding altitude as affection ache and diabetes and ER visits, Muma said.
Though Henry Ford Bloom was accustomed in 1915 by Henry Ford, architect of Ford Motor Co., the bloom adjustment has no accepted affiliation with the battling automaker.
ConnectedCare with Henry Ford is accessible for GM salaried advisers during accessible acceptance starting in October with advantage to activate Jan. 1. Acceptable advisers and audience will be covered in Wayne, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw, Livingston, Lapeer and St. Clair counties. The plan is not actuality offered to abutment employees.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan will be the contract's third-party administrator, processing and advantageous for claims and casework and auditing abstracts for adaptation of aggregate accumulation at the end of anniversary year beneath the PPO contract, Henry Ford and GM said. A key aberration is that GM and Henry Ford will use appraisement they accept agreed on, rather than Blue Cross adjustment pricing.
If Henry Ford stays beneath absolute anniversary amount agreement and hits 19 agreed-upon metrics, the six-hospital adjustment will breach the accumulation with GM. If those targets are not accomplished beneath the risk-based contract, Henry Ford could lose money.
Sheila Savageau, GM's U.S. bloom affliction baton for all-around advantage and benefits, said the auto aggregation absitively about four years ago it bare to actualize a new application archetype that moves abroad from fee-for-service anesthetic and encourages affection and value-based care.
Working with Blue Cross on two added PPO diplomacy it offers its employees, GM had been able to authority bottomward anniversary amount increases to amid 2 percent and 4 percent. GM anticipates a 10 percent accumulation over the five-year activity of the adjustment for the aggregation and employees, she said.
Savageau said GM told Blue Cross it planned to action a absolute adjustment to one or added bloom systems in Southeast Michigan for 2019.
"Blue Cross has been a absolutely acceptable cardinal partner. I told them three years ago to get on lath with value-based contracting. They weren't there yet. They were added fee-for-service, so we absitively to attending for a absolute adjustment with one of the bloom systems in Southeast Michigan," Savageau said.
Over the accomplished three years, Blue Cross has confused aggressively to assurance value-based diplomacy with ample bloom systems. Blue Cross now diplomacy with about 80 percent of hospitals in Michigan beneath value-based arrangements, Helen Stojic, administrator of accumulated diplomacy with Blue Cross.
Stojic said Blue Cross' authoritative casework alignment adjustment with GM and Henry Ford is the insurer's aboriginal absolute adjustment amid an employer and provider.
GM issued an RFP to all bloom systems based in Southeast Michigan, Savageau said. Three finalists were chosen, including Beaumont Bloom and Ascension Michigan, according to a antecedent a about the action who asked for anonymity. Henry Ford won out.
Savageau said it is accessible GM will add added bloom systems in absolute diplomacy in approaching years to accord advisers added options. Beaumont beneath animadversion and Ascension did not acknowledge on deadline.
Advantages for GM with absolute diplomacy accommodate giving the aggregation added ascendancy over bloom annual architecture and the abeyant to lower costs of care. Providers additionally accept added adaptability to adjustment the tests or bear specialty affliction they accept is all-important for a patient's analysis after accepting to accommodate through allowance aggregation red tape, additionally alleged above-mentioned authorization.
Lower costs for GM additionally are a above advantage, said Savageau, but a lot depends on Henry Ford hitting the value-based targets and advisers afterward physician admonition and blockage aural the attenuated network, she said.
"We accept a cost-share philosophy, so any accumulation we accept will be aggregate with employees," Savageau said. Beneath the bloom annual structure, GM pays for about two-thirds of costs with advisers advantageous for one-third, she said.
ConnectedCare will be the third plan advantage for salaried GM employees. The added two options are additionally high-deductible bloom affairs with bloom accumulation annual affairs based on a PPO network.
"This (Henry Ford) advantage is the aforementioned plan architecture as the added two (Blue Cross options). The key aberration is the account addition they pay. It is the lowest-cost option," Savageau said.
Stojic said GM's added two affairs are Blue Cross articles and additionally accept value-based apparatus that seek to advance affection and lower costs.
Savageau beneath to accompaniment the account premiums to advisers for the three plans, but said ConnectedCare would be $300 per year beneath big-ticket for advisers than GM's basal plan with Blue Cross and $620 beneath than the added big-ticket accepted plan with the Blues. For ancestors enrollees, ConnectedCare will be $860 beneath than the basal plan and $1,980 beneath than the accepted plan, based on college deductibles, copayments and co-insurance.
There are added incentives for advisers to accept the Henry Ford plan and break aural its network.
Under ConnectedCare, the deductible for a distinct GM agent will be $1,500 with a 10 percent co-insurance for in-network, or "tier one" advantage with Henry Ford and added appointed providers. Going out of adjustment in "tier two" advantage would access the co-insurance to 30 percent, a abundant college amount than GM's added two plans.
Overall, GM advisers will accept their best of added than 3,000 providers in the ConnectedCare network, including Henry Ford active and affiliated doctors and added providers who are bare to annular out specialty services. Those casework beneath the plan will accommodate primary care, hospital, emergency care, behavioral bloom and pharmacy.
GM and Henry Ford activity 20 percent to 25 percent of GM's 24,000 acceptable advisers and audience will assurance up for the Henry Ford affairs the aboriginal year. Muma said he believes 50 percent will be covered over time.

Being in the wedding industry, I see a lot of fads that come and go with the seasons. I've seen short dresses, lace ones, large bouquets, and small ones. Everything from the flavor of the cake to the timing of the bouquet toss changes every season, but one that is getting more and more popular by the year is something called the "First Look." Originally, I thought this was just a fad, that it would go away like everything else. But now, it seems like every couple is opting to include it in their special day! So, what is it, exactly?
Well, traditionally at a Wedding Ceremony the Groom does not see his Bride until she is walking down the aisle to take his hand in marriage. In the last few years, though, couples have been doing a First Look: when an hour or so before their wedding, the Bride reveals herself to her beau without their friends and family eagerly looking on. The two of them typically have a very intimate moment prior to saying "I do" at this time, and it makes for great pictures. Based on my conversations with a few wedding photographers, the trend seems to have started so photographers snap some photos before the Wedding instead of taking as many during the Cocktail Hour. Which, I have to say, is completely reasonable.
A First Look is truly a beautiful moment between the Bride and Groom, but there's just one thing missing… We lose the moment everyone loves when we see the Groom's face as the church doors open and he first lays eyes on his bride! Call my old fashioned, but I kind of miss that exciting moment, although I definitely understand why someone would want to have the First Look beforehand.
So, what about you? To look or not to look?!

Q: How To select All Rows from a SAS data set that Match at least one value in another SAS Data set I am trying to read the ticker names of 100 stocks / ETFs from one CSV file. I have two CSV files, one contains the data for all stocks / etfs over a 90 day period. The second contains the name of the 100 stock/etf tickers I am interested in selecting. Below is my code, WORK.ETFnames is the one column data set that contains the 100 ETF names I want to select from the fulldata. How can I use this list of names to correctly select the desired data. In WORK.FULLdata the names are stored in a column called "Ticker". I have already sorted the data by type (either ETF or Stock) but cant figure out how to select the rows I am actually interested in from these tables. Thank you!
PROC IMPORT OUT=WORK.Fulldata
   DATAFILE="/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/q2_2012_all.csv"
   DBMS=CSV REPLACE;
   GETNAMES=YES;
   DATAROW=2;
RUN;

PROC IMPORT OUT = WORK.ETFnames
   DATAFILE = "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/ETFs.csv"
   DBMS=CSV REPLACE;
   GETNAMES=YES;
   DATAROW=2;
RUN;

PROC SQL;
   CREATE TABLE stocks AS
   SELECT *
   from Fulldata
   where Security EQ "Stock";
QUIT;

PROC SQL;
   CREATE TABLE ETF AS
   SELECT *
   from Fulldata
   where Security EQ "ETF"
QUIT;

A: You might want to try merging the two datasets, and only accepting those that have matching "Ticker" values. I'm going to assume that the dataset ETFnames has the names stored under variable "Ticker" too.
  PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.Fulldata
            DATAFILE= "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/q2_2012_all.csv"
            DBMS=CSV REPLACE;
     GETNAMES=YES;
     DATAROW=2;
   RUN;

   PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.ETFnames
            DATAFILE= "/folders/myshortcuts/myfolder/ETFs.csv"
            DBMS=CSV REPLACE;
     GETNAMES=YES;
     DATAROW=2;
   RUN;

  PROC SORT DATA=WORK.Fulldata OUT=WORK.Fulldatasort;
        BY Ticker;
  RUN;

  PROC SORT DATA=WORK.EFTnames OUT=WORK.EFTnamessort;
        BY Ticker;
  RUN;

  DATA WORK.Partdata;
        MERGE WORK.Fulldatasort WORK.EFTnamessort(in=A);
        BY Ticker;
        IF A;
  RUN;

  PROC SQL;
  CREATE TABLE stocks AS
  SELECT *
  from Partdata
  Where Security EQ "Stock";
  QUIT;

  PROC SQL;
  CREATE TABLE ETF AS
  SELECT *
  from Partdata
  Where Security EQ "ETF"
  QUIT;

As far as I can tell this will give you the desired result. You could also do a join in your PROC SQL statements instead of a MERGE, but the MERGE is easier to write IMO.

Q: Extension shortcuts not working in Selenium I've created a shortcut to the extension that starts up whenever I press Ctrl+Shift+Z. The shortcut works when I manually use it on the chromedriver browser. I opened a keyboard tracking website that confirms that the keys are being pressed by the selenium script, yet doesn't activate it. If I manually press Ctrl+Shift+Z on my keyboard while the webdriver is open it activates the extension so there's no issue with the extension or webdriver. I'm unsure as to why this is, and I've tried multiple methods

ETSU men's basketball coach Steve Forbes was right that he owes an apology, but it's not to the fans, it's to his team.
As a season ticket holder, I was disgusted to read his remarks following the loss to Furman last weekend. This particular team is the best one I've seen during the six years we've lived here. This particular group of players turned me into a full-on fan. I used to bring knitting to games when we started going. Now I lose my voice from cheering. They are, for the most part, unselfish, mature, patient and supportive of one another.
Apparently they are doing that on their own, because Forbes showed none of those qualities in his remarks. His comments were petulant, immature and disrespectful, not to mention unhelpful. Leaders should live by the adage, "correct in private, praise in public." If he felt those things needed to be said to his team, then he should have done it in private. My heart broke for those young men after the Furman game, especially coming off the overtime loss to Wofford.
I was happy to see Coach Bartow leave because of his sideline tantrums. I'm seeing more and more of that behavior in Coach Forbes, and I think his players deserve better. Is there work to be done? Yes. But it needs to start with the top, and with his own attitude.
New legislation encourages Tennessee's General Assembly to address an open secret that administrators of public institutions often seem to avoid: Higher education relies on the part-time, low-wage, unbenefitted, precarious labor of adjunct instructors like myself. I've been teaching English at ETSU since 2011 and English and humanities at Northeast State since 2013.
When they come to my classes, most of my students don't suspect that their teacher sometimes holds second and third jobs as a gas station clerk and server, occasionally selling plasma to make ends meet. My students don't know that changes to enrollment numbers often mean that my classes get canceled days before they are scheduled to start, so the significant labor I put into preparing a course can easily go unpaid. My students don't know that, whenever possible, I teach an overload of courses. Even though our students usually don't know these things, adjuncts' working conditions are our students' learning conditions. Adjunct labor is another example of how reliance on low-wage jobs undermines our society.
In 2018, adjuncts accounted for 40 percent of ETSU faculty. The average pay to teach a typical course is $1,950, which one estimate sets as equivalent to $8.40/hour. At current in-state undergraduate rates, 20 students enrolled in that same course pay the university around $33,000 in tuition. Considering that the average pay of an adjunct accounts for only 6 percent of tuition, we see how adjuncts are exploited as a cash cow to subsidize the university budget. Where does the money go? If administrators care about the pursuit of excellence, our educational institutions and legislators should prioritize supporting those of us with our boots on the ground in the classroom. Please support fair pay for adjuncts. Support House Bill 0707/Senate Bill 0775.
In a time when we attempt to show our grateful appreciation to worthy patriots such as veterans, firefighters, law enforcement officials and emergency responders, I would like to include a special tribute to another segment of our society that is sometimes overlooked — caregivers.
It was my privilege to encounter a number of them recently. My wife had hip replacement surgery and spent 13 days in rehabilitation at Four Oaks Healthcare Center in Jonesborough. I was so impressed with the attention we received from all the personnel there: physicians, nurses, therapists, food service attendants and room service workers. What an encouraging and positive spirit emanated from these noble caregivers! The staff demeanor each day was always caring, friendly and family oriented. Meals were savory and reminiscent of home cooking. We cannot thank God enough for such sweet-spirited servants. What a vital role they play in their ministry to patients and their families. My wife and I are grateful that the Lord brought us to such a caring and loving place. Such caregivers will forever remain in our hearts as true patriots indeed!

FOXBORO -- One of the more fascinating big-picture storylines of this season for the Patriots is how they've been able to thrive defensively despite losing their top cornerbacks from last year's Super Bowl-winning group.
They threw numbers at the position in training camp, but since then -- largely because of injury -- they have been reduced to two corners with any kind of significant experience: Malcolm Butler and Logan Ryan.
They've made it work despite their low numbers at that spot, however, and the team is currently leading the league in terms of points allowed per game (18.2).
How? For weeks now, they've taken from a position of depth (safety) and applied to where they've needed help (corner). Tavon Wilson saw time as the team's No. 3 corner on Monday night against the Bills. Against the Colts in Week 6, Patrick Chung saw time checking wideout TY Hilton. At different points this year, Devin McCourty has moved from his usual spot as the team's single-high safety to take on some cornerback responsibilities himself.
Watching the Patriots apply depth at safety to a cornerback spot in need sparked a question that I asked Bill Belichick at Wednesday's press conference: Given that the team finished Monday's win over the Bills with just two healthy receivers -- Brandon LaFell and Chris Harper -- might New England's coaching staff tap into their depth at tight end to make up for their deficiencies at wideout?
More specifically, might the team deploy Rob Gronkowski -- who has had very good success lined up in the slot and out wide near the boundary -- as a wide receiver more often now that the wideout position needs healthy bodies?
"Sure, it's a possibility," Belichick said.
Gronkowski is a mismatch on the outside. He's faster than most linebackers, allowing him to run by them when they're in man-to-man coverage. Or he can post up on smaller corners and safeties for shorter completions.
The only problem with lining him up out wide, though, is that the team loses the benefits of having him in the middle of the field as a traditional tight end.
From his spot in-line, he has the whole route tree available to him. He can run left, right or straight up the field. He can also help open up space in the running game. When he's detached from the formation, the number of jobs he's able to perform are reduced.
"It creates a different kind of matchup, and depending on who is covering him, it puts that player in a less comfortable position," Belichick said of putting Gronkowski on the outside. "But the closer you are to the middle of the field the more route options you have. You can go inside or outside, it's really the same thing at that point when you're right in the middle and you have a lot more variety in what you can do.
"When you're outside your route tree, you can't get to the other half of the field basically unless it's a long-developing over route or something like that. So your route tree is in more of a confined area.
"I'm not saying it's good or bad. It's just different. I think there are places and advantages to, whether it be a receiver or tight end -- I mean, they're all receivers: backs, tight ends, receivers -- there are advantages to being outside or somewhere in that slot area or inside, if you will. So it depends on what you're trying to do, who you're matched up against, what you're trying to run."
It may be fun for fans to consider . . . A 6-foot-6, 260-pound full-time wide receiver. (At least until the rest of the position group gets healthy.)
But what makes Gronkowski one of the most dynamic offensive weapons in the league is his versatility. He can line up as a tight end, or as a receiver, or even as a fullback, and threaten an opposing defense. His physical skill set and ability to move from one spot to the next on a play-to-play basis is what makes him so hard to keep track of.
Preventing him from bouncing around formations and keeping him at one spot -- even if it's a spot in need -- might qualify as robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Have we been hit by hackers? No idea, CIOs admit
Current security practices mean data breaches can take six months to detect, warns a new survey.
By Danny Palmer | February 23, 2016 -- 16:10 GMT (08:10 PST) | Topic: CXO
85 percent of CIOs admitted their cybersecurity strategy is reactive rather than proactive.
The vast majority of organisations are failing to take a proactive approach to defending their data against cyber attacks and are only reacting once they've been breached -- and in some instances, it can take up to six months to even figure out an incident has occurred.
That's according to a survey of CIOs by endpoint security software firm Carbon Black, which suggests there's a disconnect between the pressure to proactively prevent, detect ,and respond to security threats and the reality of how incidents are actually discovered and resolved.
Mandated encryption backdoors? Such a bad idea
Cybersecurity agency warns policy makers against limiting any security features in software, even if that makes lawful interception harder.
When asked if they'd agree with the statement, 'While we aim to have a proactive approach to hunting out threats, the reality is that we are more reactive, dealing with them as they happen', 85 percent of CIOs surveyed admitted that, yes, their organisation's cyber defences are more reactive than proactive, waiting until after a breach in order to take proper defensive action.
But worryingly, the survey found that even when forced to react in the aftermath of a malicious attack, only half of CIOs believe that they'd be 100 percent confident in knowing what systems and data had been affected, and how, within 24 hours of a breach.
According to the Carbon Black survey, organisations believe it would take an average of two whole months to actually uncover that a breach has occurred.
When asked, 'Do you worry that if you were breached it would take a long time to find out it had happened, or worse that you may be breached without realising?', a quarter of CIOs said they were concerned that if they were breached, it could take one or two weeks to detect.
Another 15 percent said it could take up to a month to detect a breach, 18 percent said it could take up to three months, while 14 percent said it could take up to half a year. By that time, it's likely large amounts of damage will have been done.
According to Ben Johnson, co-founder of Carbon Black, if companies just sit back and wait to react to cyber attacks, rather than taking initiatives themselves, they're leaving themselves in danger.
"Hackers today are determined, sophisticated, and well-funded -- sitting and waiting for them to make a mistake and expose themselves is not an effective strategy," he says
Ultimately, Johnson argues, organisations remain vulnerable to attack because security practices can still be stuck in the past, rather than equipped to deal with the tactics and practices of modern cyber criminals.
"Digital businesses are more open and accessible than ever before, as we are all constantly connected to the internet. As such, our security perimeter is no longer the network, but the endpoints we use to connect -- which are multiplying in number and range every day. However, while the nature of the threats we face is changing, our approach to security is yet to catch up," he explains.
According to Johnson, greater collaboration between businesses would provide a significant advantage in the fight against cybercrime.
"The next generation of security needs to use collective intelligence of thousands of users, share knowledge and patterns of attack behaviors across a community. We all have the same goal, to hit back against the bad guys, so we need to unite to do this more effectively," Johnson concludes.
Carbon Black's survey was carried out by research firm Vanson Bourne and involved questioning 200 CIOs at UK businesses with more than 1,000 employees across multiple industry sectors.

Have you been hearing the word 'Macro' thrown around a lot more in the past year or so, and wonder to yourself what all the hype is about or even what the word stands for? I know myself before I got into health and wellness I had not nearly heard the word as much as I have in the past few years. Let me start by saying Macro is short for Macronutrients. I will share why Macronutrients are important and how they play a key role in eating and living a healthy lifestyle.
Macronutrients are nutrients that provide us calories or energy. The three macronutrients are Protein, Carbohydrates and Fat which all play a key role in the body's ability to function. All macro's are essential, even if some fad diets say otherwise. Carbohydrates and fats are both great sources of energy and protein that nourish and protect our muscles. Carbohydrates and protein have 4 calories per gram, while fat has 9 calories per gram.
Now that you understand what Macros are, you're probably wondering what this means to you? Each of us are individuals with uniquely different bodies; some of us sit more for work, some of us are more physically active, our age is different, our height, gender and some of us workout, while some of us simply live life. All of this is perfectly ok. However, these variables play a key role in understanding how many macros we as individuals should be eating to fuel our individual lifestyle and goals.
So now you want to start tracking your macros? The first thing you're going to want to do is to invest in a food scale and pick out a macro-tracking app. This is going to make your life a whole lot easier when it comes to keeping track of your daily macros. My favorite app is either MyFitnessPal or MyMacros+ but of course there are loads more options. The main point of a tracking app is just that, to track your daily macronutrient intake in order to really know what you're putting into your body. Many of the apps include large food nutrition databases, some have barcode scanning features, and others include progress and goal features.
Tracking your macros everyday isn't something that must be done; however, if you're just getting started I always suggest tracking for a few weeks or months to get an idea of what the amount of food looks like for you; once you have an idea, eye-balling is good enough. On the other hand, if you're anything like me, you find it very interesting and fun to track daily – this of course is personal preference. Its all about finding the balance that fits you!


Lunch with the Birds was performed on St. Kilda Beach on a quiet wintry day where the birds and I could commune. I was exploring a play on flight, ascension and the nature of the scavenging sea gulls. If I presented whole food as distinct from chips and pies, would they eat? This must have been influenced by HitchcockÕs ÒBirdsÓ however seagulls, although brave are not that aggressive. This meditation is a metaphysical meeting. The series was exhibited at Art Projects, directed by John Nixon in 1980. T Lunch with the Birds was exhibited at Hiede Museum of Modern Art in Juliana Engberg`s, The Beach, in 1994.

Q: A Simple Combinatorics Question I have attempted to answer the following question.
Ten books are placed at random on a bookshelf. Find the probability of three given books being side by side.
My solution is $8(3!)/10!$ because there are three factorial ways to arrange the three books side by side and 8 ways to place all three in a row of ten and there are 10 factorial total permutations of all ten books.
But the answer should be $1/15$. why?

A: Let We have $B_{1}\;,B_{2}\;,B_{3}\;,.......................,B_{10}$ books.
Then Total no. of arrangement of $10$ Diff. books in a row is $10!$
Now Here we arrange $3$ Given book in side by side so we will take $3-$ as a one bundle and remaining other $7$ books and arrange the $1$ bundle and $7$ books in a row
Which is $8! \times 3!$(for arranging bundle of $3$ book)
So probability $ \displaystyle = \frac{8! \times 3!}{10!} = \frac{1}{15}$
Thanks

A: As well as $8$ ways of picking the position of the three given books within the ten and $3!=6$ ways of ordering them, there are also $7!$ ways to order the seven non-given books.  So, the probability is
$$
\frac{8\cdot 3! \cdot 7!}{10!}=\frac{1}{15}.
$$


Who Else Wants To Increase Their Songwriting Powers By 10 Times?
I want to share an idea that can literally multiply your songwriting powers by 10X.
And that's not just a made up number either. In a moment I'm going to share with you exactly why I say this very specific number.
Well, whether it has or not, there's an important lesson in this.
And that lesson is, when you have an idea and ACKNOWLEDGE it by taking ACTION on it, it makes way for a stream of associated ideas.
In fact, for every 1 idea that you take action on, you will generate at least 10 associated ideas.
The key is in acknowledging the very first idea… because if you don't the other following ideas will never be born.
But if you DO acknowledge an idea, and then watch carefully for related ideas to be born, your creative powers will increase exponentially.
Why Will Your Creative Powers Increase So Dramatically?
Firstly, while you're playing with the first idea, related ideas WILL be born.
As I mentioned earlier, it's easily possible to create at least 10 related ideas.
And when these NEW ideas surface, they also bring with them many more related ideas.
This is a rock solid concept that you can use in your songwriting. What I'm talking about is the idea of creative momentum.
Writers block doesn't occur because of a lack of ideas. It occurs because for some reason or another, the person has decided to stop acting on the ideas, or hunches that occur to them when they're writing.
If you build creative momentum, ideas will always flow abundantly. Your brain is so powerful, and the thing it's absolutely brilliant at doing is creating ideas to support something you're trying to accomplish.
This astonishing power your mind can be tough to see at times. One of the biggest reasons is because most of the creating it does happens at an unconscious level.
This means that the processing or "creating" is going on outside of your awareness.
It's only after an idea has been completed when it suddenly "pops" into your awareness for you to take action on it.
When you sit down to write a song, whether it be writing music or lyrics, here's what typically happens.
By sitting down to write, you're sending a signal to your brain that's basically saying, "I want to create ideas for a song".
Your unconscious mind acts on this, and will go to work, creating ideas for this song.
As you fiddle around on your instrument, or write a few words of lyrics, you'll notice very subtle signals inside your mind. These signals will be ideas for what you're trying to accomplish in this session.
Now, because the signals are very subtle, they can be a little hard to make out. This is why most musicians dismiss these ideas and complain that they have writers block.
Instead of dismissing these ideas though, you must embrace them.
You must try and tune into them, subtle and vague as they may be. Do your best to acknowledge the idea. Attempt to bring it into the world on your instrument or through your lyrics.
When you do this and acknowledge these subtle ideas that occur to you, all of a sudden you'll feel amazed as more ideas will begin occurring to you.
This initial idea, even if it wasn't your best, breeds new ideas. Each new idea, as you play with it, evolves with little effort at all.
And as this happens, the quality of your ideas are sent on an upward spiral. When you first began, the initial ideas may not have been incredibly compelling. But now that you've created this creative momentum, you've struck a rich vein of ideas of amazing quality!
Also, while the first ideas at the beginning of the session were very subtle and hard to notice, you've now "tuned into" the signals your unconscious mind are sending you.
And because of this you notice the new ideas that arise very clearly, in stunning detail.
Boy, this is an exhilarating ride!
Your Job? Get The Ball Rolling!
Now, at this point you're probably realizing that songwriting can be a fun, joyous process. And you'd be right!
There's only one tough little patch you need to get through. And this is at the beginning of each creative session.
When you sit down to write some music or lyrics, the first 5-10 minutes can be tough. This is where you're not completely "tuned into" the signals coming from your unconscious, so it feels like no ideas are coming out.
In this tough little period you MUST keep plodding away, and maintaining awareness for those first, subtle ideas. And when you notice something, ANYTHING, you must "jump on it" as fast as you can.
When you do this you will easily begin to build creative momentum, and sooner or later you'll notice your mind creating a large flow of mesmerizing musical ideas – more than you can keep up with!
There's Much More As Well!
While I've just given you a secret that can absolutely increase your songwriting powers by 10 times, there's much more where that came from!
The ideas in this article came out of many years of research I conducted into the creativity process, as well as looking deeply into many studies of human genius.
Out of this research I discovered that literally anyone can take their songwriting abilities to spectacular heights, using a few very specific principles and techniques.
I've compiled these techniques, ideas, and principles into a songwriting course that's available online through this website.
It's hands down the most effective course on the topic of songwriting, because it uses the same strategies and techniques that the "musical geniuses" of the world use to write their masterpieces.
If you want to release your full, amazing potential as a songwriter, be sure to visit the blue link above and check out the details. You will also find many stories from the musicians who have already taken the course, discussing their amazing breakthroughs.

A rough sketch of Jasper and Alice done in Photoshop.
My first Alice picture was shite, so I thought I should make a new one. I think this one's better.
Mackenzie, a not-so-ordinary girl, is uprooted from the only home she has ever known and forced to move to the small town of Forks, Washington. Miserable at first, she eventually sees that the town is much more interesting than she'd expected when she befriends a peculiar boy named Jacob Black. She soon finds they have much more in common that initially thought and within hardly a few months, her once-normal life becomes a complicated mess fraught with confusing emotions, mythical creatures and a great danger that threatens everything she holds dear.
Drawing of a still of Edward from the Twilight movie.
Sketch of Emily =] Yup.
Rough sketch of my own Esme Cullen.
Well, it's, uhh... Ice skating! Twilight style. Yay?
Quick sketch of Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black.

I'm so creative with titles, aren't I? :D Poor Jasper gets dragged along on a shopping trip with Alice.


Military Spouse Appreciation Day is the most awkward holiday ever invented. The military means well. After all, the research says that spouses are the No. 1 determinant of retention, thanks. So why do I cringe every time some admiral or general falls all over himself trying to thank us?
It is embarrassing. Sometimes they thank spouses for our contribution- as if we've just made a deposit into our IRA. Or they thank us for the "tender care" we take of our service members- as if these guys were baby sea otters caught in an oil slick.
You deserve to be thanked for marrying someone who is not normal.
It isn't normal for a guy to think world peace is his personal responsibility. It isn't normal for a woman to put the needs of 300 million Americans above her kindergartener's "Fairies Come to Camp LeJeune" play. But that's what our service members do all time.
At a certain point in the marriage, we spouses recognize that our husbands or wives are men and women who were born with something inside them that makes them different from everyone else on the planet. They don't want to sell things or buy things or manufacture things. They want to protect and serve.
That quality can make for a complicated family life. But the great spouse adapts to that extraordinary partner- because he or she wants to be married to that person and no other.
You deserve to be thanked for holding the center.
Every time someone studies deployed military families, he or she has always discovered the same thing: The kids' adaptation is based on the mother or father at home. If the home parent falls apart, the kids disintegrate with him or her. If that parent scrapes his or her act into a backpack and lugs in around the block, the kids are right there singing "Climb Every Mountain" dressed in nothing but some old drapes. The family universe revolves around the parent at home, and that makes family life possible for our service members.
You deserve to be thanked for fighting the employment question at every base.
Every time we move, we military spouses have to negotiate the whole job thing. Do you work right away? Do you stay home with the kids this time? Is it worth it to drive 45 minutes each way to Las Cruces just to work retail? Is it time to go back to school? And major in....what?
Those married to civilians don't have to make, remake and constantly agonize over these decisions. We do. Military spouses often make very sophisticated compromises to do the best they can for their families. That is remarkable.
You deserve to be thanked for mastering homecoming.
It isn't just the big homecoming at the end of deployment that spouses anticipate/negotiate/celebrate. It is the entire process of getting the spouse all the way home from being at war.
It is the wondering whether there is a problem when the sixth beer of the night is popped open. It is the constant scan for "changes" that may or may not get better. It's the git 'er done homecoming process that happens after the four-week hop to humanitarian aid in Haiti. It is the daily homecoming rituals that spouses compose so that the family can be as open and peaceful and ready when the service member is home.
That's a lot of thinking and planning for something that civilians just take for granted that spouses do every day. Awesome. Truly.
You deserve to be thanked for committing to your own style.
Back in the day, there was a right way to be a military wife, and everyone knew what it was. It had something to do with paying calls and never wearing curlers to the commissary and keeping your lawn clipped just so.
We don't have those rules anymore. Instead, the military asks that we just do it all: Get a job. Raise those kids. Take tender care of your service member. Spend within your means. Let the military do its job.
There are no rules. Which means there is no praise for doing it right. We each choose to do this in our own way, using our own judgement to figure our what needs to be done, using our own individual strengths to make it all happen. You are a support group of one. Enjoy that.
It will be another year before someone thinks to thank you for all you do. So I hope this is the year that you start looking at that high-and-tight and appreciate that it is so much more than a hairstyle.
I hope this is the year you appreciate that you and only you hold the center of the family.
I hope this is the year you stop beating yourself up for failing to do things the "right" way, and let yourself go with what your own style, your own flair, your own undeniable spark of greatness.
This has to be the year you - along with your spouse, and your command and your mom and your kids - start to appreciate you. Because, believe me, I already do.

The Mamba Series of speed controls are legendary, and now the company is poised to bring their newest speed controls to the market with the release of their new Mamba X Series. We can't wait to try them out and fortunately there are two versions to choose from including the Mamba Micro X for 1/18th scale vehicles, and Mamba XL X for large 1/5th scale electric vehicles. Let the roost fly. Read below to see more info from Castle Creations.
The new Mamba X Series ESCs pick up where the previous generation of Mamba controllers left off. More powerful and more tunable than ever before, the Mamba X Series is all about EXTREME R/C power, control and fun.
The first of the new Mamba X Series ESCs is the new Mamba Micro X for 1/18th scale vehicles. You thought the Mamba Micro Pro was fun? Just wait until you put the new Mamba Micro X, now with added Auxiliary Wire functionality, sensored-motor support and waterproofed, in your rabid 1/18th scale rig.
Next in the Mamba X Series is the massive Mamba XL X for large 1/5th scale electric vehicles. Big power meets big control, the new Mamba XL X is "extra large" taken to the next level with a larger internal BEC and new auxiliary wire that allows for on-the-go performance adjustments via your transmitter. Best of all, the new Mamba XL X will be available as ESC only or as part of a new combo that will provide you with everything you need to extract extreme performance out of your large scale R/C vehicles.

Q: Can I see in a log file all GUI based tasks in its alternative command-line format? For example, I normally open mousepad (xfce equivalent of gedit) from the applications menu. However, I know that you can also do this in a terminal by typing mousepad.
Following this example, what I want is whenever I open mousepad via GUI, a new line is written in a log file stating something like Sep 5 15:35:11 lucho@lucho:~$ mousepad. More in general, what I want is to log all GUI activities that are potentially do-able via command-line (like opening programs, changing permissions, modifying a system settings, etc) but written in its alternative command-line execution format. I want this in order to improve my knowledge of how to use the command-line (without going through the man pages). There are many things I do through the GUI which I don't do via command-line (some potentially automatable via a script or via keyboard shortcuts) and having this log file would be a good way to learn them.
I'm aware of the existence of the syslog file in /var/log but that is not what I need. The Activity Log Manager app from Ubuntu repositories does not show command-line format, so far as I know. I need something like the .bash_history file that exist in my home folder but recording my GUI-based activities.

A: Proposing that kind log file as base for learning is actually a brilliant idea!
Unfourtunately, many actions of GUI programs are implemented in the program itself, not using external commands; And even if it uses external commands, it may be in a different way than one would do it in a shell;
So that does not exist, and is not easy to implement.
But I have a solution for a part of the problem: The program name in the GUI is sometimes differen from the program name one needs to know for a shell command - not only if the GUI name is translated to a local language.
For example, how to start the program Files in the comman line?
We need to look into all *.desktop files for the name. There, we find the command in the Exec line:
locate -b '.desktop' | xargs grep -ls '^Name.*=Files$' | xargs grep '^Exec.*'
lists desktop file names and commands for the GUI program File - replace that with the exact name you look for - even it it's multiple words (for substring search, leave out the = and $).
With the command, I find Files may be nautilus, dolphin or active-filebrowser:
/etc/xdg/autostart/nautilus-autostart.desktop:Exec=nautilus -n
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/nemo:nemo.desktop:Exec=nemo %U
/usr/share/app-install/desktop/plasma-active:kde4__active-filebrowser.desktop:Exec=active-filebrowser -graphicssystem raster %u
/usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop:Exec=nautilus %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop:Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop:Exec=nautilus --new-window

A: Introduction
While it's not possible to log all GUI actions, such things as logging commands that correspond to open windows can be done. Below is the simple python script that does the job. It's still in development, but does 90% of the required task.

The script shows timestamp, event type, the window PID, and the corresponding command.
How to use
The standard rules of any script apply. Make sure you store the script in ~/bin directory. If you don't have ~/bin directory , then create one. Save script file there and ensure it is executable with chmod +x ~/bin/log_open_windows.py. After than you can run it from command line at any time you wish by calling ~/log_open_windows.py in command-line.


A second phase of trials designed to encourage small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to recycle has been launched across the UK by the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP).
Some 16 organisations are taking part in the six-month long demonstration trials building on work into best practices carried out in the first phase.
The aim is to develop convenient and cost effective recycling services on a wider scale to make it easier for more of the countrys SMEs to recycle.
Issues that will be looked at in particular include effective SME recruitment onto recycling services, collection techniques and frequencies plus charging mechanisms.
Demonstration trials include glass container collections for the hospitality industry and city centre cardboard and paper collections plus multi material collections. These will include: paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, metal and aluminium cans, plastic drinking cups, computer equipment, printer and toner cartridges.
WRAP SME recycling programme manager Liz Morrish said: This demonstration trial phase of the programme enables us to work with our partners on much larger scale so that we can develop robust good practice guidelines and models that will enable better targeting of SMEs.


On the January 1st this year I got one very odd email from online store I purchased something from couple of years ago (BTW, it was the worst online shopping experience ever: it worked like a soviet hospital, not an internet shop).
Anyway, it was a 'Happy Birthday' email, and no, my birthday is not the January, 1st.
It's very unlikely that I entered 01/01 as my DOB: I try not to tell it to online stores when the field is not required; even when it is I prefer to enter 02/29 to minimize the number of such automated HB congratulations.
So it got me thinking: why on earth would their database contain 01/01 as my DOB?
My best guess is that they are storing date of birth as a unix timestamp. And at some point the value I provided (NULL) got converted to 0 (zero).
And zero seconds since the Epoch means 01/01/1970: so, their software decided I just turned 45 and sent me a happy birthday email (I didn't think it was possible, but my opinion about that particular store got worse).
What lessons should developers learn from this story?
Never use TIMESTAMP when you can use DATE data type. They are different, and date of birth is definitely a DATE.
Do not confuse NULL and zero (or empty string). NULL is a special value, meaning 'NOTHING'. There are cases, when it's the same as zero (e.g.: number of items purchased), but generally it's not the same (as in my example with non-entered DOB).
Use DEFAULT values properly. 0 and NULL are not necessary the same.
Treat data carefully during upgrades/conversions. I'm not sure if the DOB field was there when I was registering at the website, but it could be introduced in the database later – and all old records may have got their values for DOB field set to 0 instead of NULL.
In my last guess is true, I'm not the only one who got that stupid 'Happy Birthday' notification when we should have received 'Happy New Year' notification instead.
Happy New Year to all (if any) readers of this blog!
