Rototom Sunsplash, recognised as the 'Most Sustainable Festival'.
The Fest Awards honoured the environmental actions of the reggae macro-event of Benicàssim at the gala held on Wednesday in Bilbao.

A legendary farewell closes the 27th edition of the Rototom Sunsplash
After seven intense days, the living reggae legend Burning Spear starred this monday in the last great musical party of the Main Stage, together with the mystical energy of Luciano, the experience of Africa Unite and the dub of Iseo & Dodosound.
The Rototom Sunsplash reunion unites 211,000 attendees from 77 countries and reaches an international streaming audience of more than 2.8 million people.
The live broadcasts from the various digital channels have streamed more than 650,000. The festival bids farewell to an edition that once again creates the atmosphere of diversity, interculturalism and commitment that makes the musical event a global experience with no age limit.
Rototom Sunsplash bids farewell to 'We must change the world' this evening after more than 180 concerts and sessions, as well as 182 extra-musical activities.
Our closing day welcomes the Jamaican legend Burning Spear today, who will be accompanied on the Main Stage by the Rasta messenger Luciano, Africa Unite from Italy and the Spaniards Iseo&Dodosound. In one week, we have totalled 388 hours of music and 204 hours of conferences, workshops, debates and other...
A memorable evening to celebrate the penultimate day of the festival.
The mystical reggae of The Abyssinians, the only show in Europe of the legendary Sly Dunbar & The Revolutionaries, the hip hop of Mala Rodriguez and the versatility of Alborosie were the protagonists this Sunday of a unique musical journey on the Main Stage.
Davido, Horace Andy, Mellow Mood and Hempress Sativa connect Nigeria with Jamaica on a magical night.
The fifth night of the 2022 Rototom Sunsplash brought together different generations of artists to create unprecedented connections, through an impressive programme. Almost every night, the 'foundation' artists are in charge of heating up the Main Stage with the first set of the night, and this Saturday it was the...
The Abyssinians and Europe's only show from Sly Dunbar and The Revolutionaries encourage the Jamaican dream team for the penultimate day.
The Italian Alborosie, who has been faithful to us since our beginnings, and the Andalusian rapper and vocalist Mala Rodríguez, complete the lineup of the Main Stage. Our 2022 edition has already received 120,000 attendees in its first four days.
An afrobeat opening with Nigeria's Davido
The line-up for the Main Stage this Saturday, 20th August, will be completed by the legendary Horace Andy, the Jamaican Hempress Sativa, an exponent of the new reggae scene, as well as the Italian-Spanish tandem Mellow Mood-Emeterians. The Social Forum begins its session with the goal of peace and journalistic...
Party number four, with which the Rototom Sunsplash reaches its equator this friday, has also been characterized by being under the banner of the great eclecticism that exists between the different subgenres of reggae.
The worthy replacement of Black Uhuru, who dropped out of the line-up after the cancellation of their European tour, was one of the most eccentric characters in Jamaican music. Eek-A-Mouse, the ideal personification of the madness and excess of the Jamaican dancehall from the 80s and 90s.
More than 28,000 people kick off Rototom as we approach the halfway point, with audiences from 77 countries touring Benicàssim
Jamaican multi-Grammy award-winners Morgan Heritage and France's O.B.F. headline this Friday's Main Stage, which also features Aza Lineage and Eek A Mouse. Dub Princess and Mighty Mystic add an international touch to the Lion Stage, which hosts a double choral offering with the collective Chill Mafia from Pamplona and Barcelona's...
The music that moves us often has the power to make us travel virtually without moving from where we are and to remind us of past times. And the great eclecticism of this third night of the Rototom 2022 had the ability to take us to many different places and times.
The first stop was the birthplace of reggae at a crucial moment in the development of the music tradition that we love the most. It is customary this year for Jamaican roots& culture masters to perform first on the main stage. And last night it was the turn of the...
In Areas, RototomPosted 18/08/2022
Wednesday night began in a very special way with the beautiful concert by Clinton Fearon & The Riddim Source, a kind of preview of what will happen next monday with the return to the Rototom Sunsplash of the legendary Burning Spear.
Although not part of the group from its inception, Clinton Fearon was a key member of the Gladiators, a crucial experience of the Jamaican roots of the 70s and 80s.
Sean Paul shakes up day three with his dancehall revolution
The Main Stage makes a double stop this Thursday in Jamaica and we add Max Romeo to our 2022 roots oriented line-up, alongside Fatoumata Diawara from Mali and Morodo from Madrid.

Mariinsky Theatre
See file Datscha Bar See file Mod Club
Karsavina, Nureyev, Chaliapin and Sobinov have all performed here, which says it all really.
Impeccable programme.
This theatre has had various names: from 1920 to 1935 it was known as the National Academy and Ballet and during the Soviet Era it was known as the Kirov Theatre and Ballet (after the politician Sergei Kirov). However, it is currently known as the Mariinsky Theatre. The Russian-Italian architect Alberto Cavos designed the theatre seeking inspiration from the Dresden opera house. It only took a year to build and was finished in 1860. It has hosted some of the very best Russian ballet and opera and, in keeping with tradition, still offers a world-class programme. Famous ballet dancers and opera singers such as Karsavina, Nureyev, Chaliapin and Sobinov have all performed here. In May 2013, Mariinsky II opened in an adjoining building as a sister theatre with more modern installations.

Denna artikel avhandlar den biologiska definitionen av "koloni". För andra betydelser, se koloni (olika betydelser)

En koloni (från latinets colonia) är i biologi en större mängd  individuella organismer av samma art som lever tätt ihop, ofta till fördel för hela kolonin. Ibland kan specialiseringen av individerna vara så långsträckt att de endast kan leva i kolonier. Några exempel är vissa insekter, som myror och honungsbin, lever endast i kolonier, och Blåsmaneten (Physalia physalis), en organism som består av en koloni av fyra olika former av polyper.

En koloni av encelliga organismer kallas för en kolonial organism. Skillnaden på en flercellig organism och en kolonial organism är att den individuella organismen i en koloni kan överleva själv även om den separeras från kolonin, medan celler från en flercellig organism inte klarar detta. Grönalgssläktet Volvox är ett exempel på ett mellanstadium mellan dessa båda tillstånd. Det finns en hypotes om att koloniala organismer var ursprunget till de flercelliga organismerna.

En bakteriekoloni (eller koloni av andra mikroorganismer) definieras som ett kluster av organismer som växer på en yta av, eller inom ett fast medium, ofta odlad ur en enda cell. Eftersom alla organismer inom kolonin härstammar från en och samma förfader så är de genetiskt identiska (förutom de som förändras genom mutation).

Written by Jean-Baptiste Dulong, this is a mount/umount utility for the panel.
Add it to the panel, close the appearing options dialog and simply click the new hard disk icon in your panel. You will see a menu containing all items from fstab, i.e. any partitions and removable media, that is currently inserted.
Now, you want to mount the inserted CD-Rom? Just click onto the appropriate line in the menu. Can't mount it? But have the possibility to `sudo'? Then go to the options dialog and specify your own mount command, which might be `sudo mount'. Make sure that sudo is configured to not ask for a password.
Next, you didn't get any feedback if the CD was mounted successfully? Why don't specify a file launcher in the options dialog to display the mounted volumes after mounting them?
Ok, now you're done working with the CD and want to unmount it. You click the hard disk, click the appropriate line, but don't know, whether it was unmounted successfully. You can check so by clicking the hard disk icon again and see, whether it is still mounted, or specify to display a short messages after successfully unmounting the mounted volume.
So, basically, everything works now, but you have network file systems which might be nice to be displayed… Well, there's another option to include network file systems.
Except for the panel (and its headers, if you want to build the plugin on your own), you don't need any additional packages.
It is recommended to have a file manager installed which can be started after a successful mount.
It is furthermore suggested to install pmount and use it instead of the `mount' command.

Stonehouse Pizza and Cavery are offering two pizzas and a bottle of wine for just £15 from Thursday 14th until Saturday 16th of February. For an extra fiver you can upgrade to a bottle of prosecco! This would be an ideal pre-cinema meal or a brilliant deal to share with friends. It doesn't strictly have to be a Valentines meal at all, if anything it's a chance to dine out at a bargain price!
The offer is valid on any two classic pizzas and a bottle of Cooper's red, white or rose wine. This would usually cost £27.47 based on two £8.49 pizzas and a £10.49 bottle of wine, that's a saving of £12.47.
If you opt for the prosecco it would usually cost £33.97 so the £20 offer would give you a saving of £13.97. You can also upgrade to the signature pizzas or calzones for an extra £2, but the classic ones offer a decent variety of toppings and flavours.
As you know, I love a deal but what I love even more is a double deal! If you want to save a little bit extra on this fab little meal deal you can currently get a £15 Stonehouse gift card for just £13.80 on Zeek.
For those of you that don't know, Zeek allows you to buy discounted gift cards or sell your own unwanted ones.

You can then refer your friends and family to earn your own referral credit to make even more savings.
If you don't want to use Zeek you can still get extra saving if you bank with Halifax or Lloyds. Log in and check your cashback deals – I currently have an offer for 15% cashback when using my bank card to pay at Stonehouse restaurants so you might have a similar offer. My cashback deal would give me £2.25 cashback on the £15 deal making the meal just £12.75!
The party package is just £6.99 a head and it gives party goers the chance to roll out their own dough and create their own mini pizzas! It's an absolute bargain as that prices includes the cost of: invitations, disposable chefs hats and aprons, a mini margarita pizza with two toppings for each child, a mini bottomless ice cream each, Ribena Minis Blackcurrant drinks, pizza party activity sheets, plus balloons and goody bags to take home. You can read more about parties here.
Keep your eye out for another Valentines inspired post in the next week or so, rather than dining out, I am going to include some thrifty date ideas.

Afua Hirsch's Brit(ish) is essential reading for any black person who has struggled to find home
Kimberly McIntosh
In The Novelist as Teacher, Chinua Achebe tells us that African writers have a responsibility: to educate and regenerate their people, the way they see themselves and reveal to them their history with the accuracy it's so rarely afforded. Here in the diaspora, black British writers are still burdened with this duty, as our country fails to reconcile its colonial past with the reality of race and racism in the present.
It's a responsibility Afua Hirsch, journalist, former barrister and the only person talking sense on Sky News show, The Pledge, feels keenly. "If I hadn't have come from a privileged background it's unlikely I would have had access to the elite institutions, that I'd have access to my platform. It's the reason why I use my platform to write about these things. I feel a responsibility there," she tells me on a day so unseasonably warm we've both had to buy emergency summer clothing to change into.
Africa and the question of home is the central theme of her book, BRIT(ish) and when I sit down to chat with her about it, she has just returned from launching it in Ghana. So what was it like launching the book in her other "home", the birthplace of her mother, her husband's family and for a time her base as West Africa correspondent for the Guardian?
"So much love for my book in Ghana," she explains in a café in central London. "But there's been a lot for it here too. It's been really humbling." Interestingly, there was a lot of gratitude that she took the time to tour the book in West Africa. When an audience member in Ghana questioned why other authors of African heritage, who use their black experience for stories, didn't bother doing the same, he received a standing ovation. "I don't think black authors aren't touring in Ghana or Nigeria because they don't think it's worth it," she says, "I think it's just publishers aren't doing it for them. I organised my tour myself. Authors of African heritage are still struggling to tell their stories at all."
"Gratitude is a word that has hung over the debate of the book, the same smog of 'polite' racism that has followed Stormzy in a barrage of Daily Mail articles"
Gratitude is a word that has hung over the debate of the book, the same smog of "polite" racism that has followed Stormzy in a barrage of Daily Mail articles. Not everyone has welcomed the book as they have in Ghana or The Guardian. David Goodhart, the well-known host of dinner party racism – couching racist ideas with the respectability of academic language and ill-informed theory – wrote a scathing review of the book. Naming her the "high priestess of the religion of anti-racism", he attacked Afua personally and refers to the book as "not a subtle or rigorous work", arguing from "anecdote, not data". This is despite 22 pages-worth of citations to reputable sources – including many academics.
If a book on race gets an indefensibly harsh and unsubstantiated critique by David Goodhart in the Evening Standard then it's safe to assume it's worth a read. Afua weaves the personal with facts and figures, making the book accessible through anecdote but with the evidence to back up her claims. So why did Goodhart go for the jugular regardless?
"When you combine evidence and research with personal stories, people feel threatened, as it's that much harder to ignore it, Afua theorises. "My arguments may not be perfect and I genuinely welcome debate, but I do think that when people struggle to find holes in my argument they tend to go after me personally." I'm inclined to agree. "Those attacks are frustrating and draining but kind of affirming," she says. And it's hard to deny that the harshest critics of the book tend to inadvertently prove its relevance.
As someone who writes about dating, my favourite chapter of the book is Bodies'. An excerpt featured in The Guardian on her visit to the Black Man's Fan Club – a fetish sex club where white "appreciators" of black men come to give life to their fantasies. The depiction of colonial tropes that were let loose and internalised by the black men were disturbing. But Afua tells me that the chapter was divisive. The Guardian suggested it lowered the tone of the book ("Hirsch's visit to a seedy swingers' party held by the Black Man's Fan Club, for white women (and their watching partners), is not the most subtle route into the complicated myth of black male hypersexuality.").
"I included it because I think it's important that we don't just talk about Brexit and the politics of identity, immigration statistics and stop and search. This is very personal and intimate and we live it in so many ways. But it's not been mainstreamed in our discussion of race and identity as it should be," she says. "There's this whole world where these reconstructed slavery ideas are thriving". Love and sex are spaces where airs and grace around race disintegrate. If we need evidence that racism is still pervasive, we can find it here.
"My favourite chapter of the book is 'Bodies', which features Afua's visit to the Black Man's Fan Club – a fetish sex club where white 'appreciators' of black men come to give life to their fantasies"
Afua believes we can't deal with any of this if we can't grow up and speak honestly about our colonial past. In the chapter titled 'Origins', she dissects Britain's collective amnesia on colonialism. "Without reckoning with our Imperial past, we will never tackle racism. The lack of diversity we see is a symptom, not a cause. We're doing the easy stuff," she adds, "you can tell how much change is happening by how hard it is."
The people who should be trying the hardest are still doing the bare minimum. When we meet, we're both overwhelmed with media requests to discuss the Windrush scandal. Busy as ever, she's got a book event after our meeting, before prepping for Newsnight to talk about the crisis. The link between the mistreatment of the Windrush generation by the state, the narrative and the colonial nostalgia is not lost on either of us. "Theresa May wouldn't even meet Caribbean leaders," she says, noting how unconvincing the claim that the Commonwealth represents historic relationships between equals. "No one will admit that this is the remnants of Empire. It was the Colonial Office one day and the Commonwealth office the next." We both laugh at the absurdity of it all. It is quite the delusion: "it's a psychosis."
So after eight chapters questioning the concept of home – what does home mean to Afua now?
"I've let go of the idea that home is a place that can solve my identity problems. They stopped being problems because I stopped seeing them as something to be solved. And more of a journey that I've been on. I've become more confident in my blackness and my Africanness. I think for a long time I felt it needed to be validated against something.
"Like how well I could speak my mother's language or how good I am at cornrowing my daughter's hair…but it's about consciousness. It's not how you behave, speak or live – it's what you care about. Those are the questions I'm interested in now – not where I live. But it's a long life journey."
Reading Brit(ish), I relished going on some of that journey with her.
Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging by Afua Hirsch is published by Jonathan Cape (£16.99).

Having heard Many Good Things about the Applecross duathlon, I finally decided to give it a go this year. A 14.5km trail run sounded easy enough, and figured the 24km cycle should be managable with a little training. For training, I dusted off my bike and embarked upon an intensive two-week programme of riding the 10-minutes to work and back, the main contributions of which were animated conversations with bus drivers over the merits of disc brakes and a philosophical discussion with two police officers on ethics choices involving traffic signals and the rise of the Fascist State, none of which proved to be of the slightest use in Applecross.
Applecross itself can be reached either via a scenic coastal road or by driving over the stunningly beautiful Bealach na Ba, possibly the best road in Scotland. "Not advised for learner drivers, very large vehicles or caravans" reads the sign at the start. Shortly after, I am met by a large vehicle towing a caravan.
The race itself is a pleasantly low-key affair. You can enter as the "challenge" or start the "race" (and have your time recorded) an hour later. About 50 take the challenge and 90 more do the race. Sam is the only other Westie I see entered — doing well, with a top-10 finish. I took the trail run slowly, the only speed I know. After a couple of miles of farm road the route climbs 200m and becomes really quite scenic. It's an easily followed route and generously marshalled. As scenic goes, the cycle was even better. Sweeping views out across Raasay and Skye, heather in bloom, sparkling wee lochan. Rolling hills, mainly. Nothing too steep, and the last mile into the bay is quite flat. Finishers are welcomed by a piper and a rauchous, cheering crowd. For £6 entry, this is ridiculously good value for money.
Next year's duathlon is on 17 September, and entries open on 4 June. Watch out, as they go quickly!

Q: how to configure run configuration of pydev google appengine project in eclipse ? I'm trying to run django on top of Google appengine. but finally i could not find
why it cannot be done..
I follow the manual of 2 websites and finally could not solve my problem..
 << References >>

 2. http://andablue.blogspot.kr/2013/03/google-app-engine-python-django-google_9.html

Below image is the description of structure of project.

I configured pydev google appengine run configuration like below.

But when i try to run it i confront the error message like below ..
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '?/Users/nextdoordoctor/dev/ndd_mobile/src?'
How should I do to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance ;)

A: I would really wanna suggest you to use django-deployer because it makes life essay as it deploys any Django app to the following PaaS providers: Dotcloud, Stackato, OpenShift and Google App Engine. The goal of django-deployer is to minimize the effort to deploy a Django app to any of the popular PaaS providers
Also have a look on its demonstration.

Last year, one of my primary New Year's resolutions was to bring a greater sense of calm to our home and our lives. This urgent, feverish desire to slow down might have partly been due to the fact that I was halfway through my husband's 9-month deployment and I was tired. But I also had this overwhelming sense that we just had too much: too much stuff in our house, too many activities on our calendars, too many obligations we were beholden to…you get the idea. I was tired of feeling tired…tired of picking up stuff…tired of falling into bed each night defeated…tired of running on empty. And I was ready for a change. With New Year's resolutions, I tend to just "go for it." But because I reeeaaally wanted this one to stick, I armed myself with a series of books to help motivate me, inspire me, and (hopefully) teach me how to simplify every aspect of our lives. Since you too might be on a simplification quest of your own, I thought I'd share the books I read last year, some highlights of each that really stuck with me, and the changes I was able to make as a result of reading them all!
A Simplified Life. I've followed Emily Ley on social media for a long time, and it probably doesn't surprise you to hear that I'm pretty smitten with her preppy planners and happy accessories. But more than her adorable stripes and irresistible use of color, I was most attracted to her common-sense approach to simplification. I snagged her book as soon as it became available and finished it in a day or two.
I love this book for the simplicity of it (sorry if that seems ridiculously redundant). This book is NOT an in-depth how-to, and at times, it is even a bit too "simplified" (it glosses over a lot of topics in a really light and fluffy way). However, the overall theme…that eliminating physical clutter and reducing daily commitments ultimately makes time and space for what really matters most…is not only refreshing but really inspiring. It's essentially a big, beautiful, very-easy-to-read book that says: "you don't have to do it all" and provides some simple steps for getting started. This book is great way to dip your toe into the whole concept of simplification, reduction, and less…especially if those concepts scare you!
Emily strips away (or tries to at least) the desire (I suspect) most of us young moms feel to be perfect, do it all, and do it all well. She encourages exactly what the title says: to show yourself grace during trying times instead of holding yourself to a standard of perfection. She suggests simple and practical changes for any busy household, and most of all gives "permission" to cut yourself a break!
Chasing Slow. This book is written by a blogger, so if you like the feel and intimacy of reading a personal blog posts, you'll enjoy this one. Chasing Slow is not a how-to book on simplification, rather a cautionary tale about the risks and costs of trying to do and be too much. I found myself constantly nodding along with the author's experiences and reflections, and was often reaching for a highlighter so that I could easily re-references the nuggets that resonated with me so deeply.
More than telling me how to pair down or slow down, this book demonstrated the wisdom in doing so. Mostly though, as the title suggests, it drives home the point that slowing down, just like decluttering, is not something you can do once. As life ebbs and flows, you will be faced with opportunities to both increase and decrease what you have and what you do, and you will need to constantly choose the simple life you want.
Soulful Simplicity. This is another book that is much more a tale of inspiration and motivation on the path toward simplicity rather than a list of how-tos (although there is some of that in there too!).
While it does have a "memoir" feel, it's much more about the mental/spiritual transformation that simplification can create. It definitely helps you sort out and commit to your "why" of decluttering, living with less, and simplifying before you actually put in the work to make it happen.
The Year of Less. Up until this point, everything I had read on simplification felt light and fluffy and airy. I was absolutely motivated to declutter our home and our schedules but in a very easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy way. This book, however, snapped me out of my zen-like trance and provided a much juicier, more riveting tail of the affect of too much: too much stuff, too much spending, too much eating, too much drinking.
The story is of the author's own self-imposed, year-long shopping ban. And while she does provide some interesting reflections on society's compulsion to accumulate (and there are certainly lots of good nuggets about the benefits of owning/buying less), the story is much more about the events of her life during the year she didn't shop rather than about stuff and not buying it. Admittedly, I was hoping for more of an emphasis on the shopping ban itself. Nonetheless, the extremeness of her experiment and her specific shopping rules really did get me thinking about what I buy, how often I buy it, and if I really need it at all.
The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. After so much "philosophy" and inspiration about simplification and living with less, I was more than ready to dive and "get my hands dirty," so to speak. And what better way to really dive into minimizing than with Marie Kondo?!?
I've already written at length about my impressions of this book (here and here) but I'll quickly say this: whether you agree with/adopt her dramatic approach to decluttering or not, this book is a worthy read simply for her perspectives on how to actually get yourself to let go of items. More than any other book I read this year, her sentiments about "sparking joy" have really stuck and replay in my head over and over!
The More of Less. Of all the books I read this year, this one is the most "minimalist movement" of the bunch. It does serve up a strong dose of motivation, but if you find yourself really ready to embrace minimalism and need some help getting started, this is a great how-to handbook. The author is one of the foremost authors in the minimizing field, and his approach to living with less is very easy to digest.
Simplicity Parenting. This is another book that I've talked about already here on the blog. And while I didn't read it during my 2018 minimization read-a-thon, it's the book that actually sparked my desire to pursue simplification in the first place!
This book is more about parenting and raising calmer, happier kids than decluttering and minimizing. However, he strongly advocates getting rid of most of your kids' toys as a mechanism for reaching that calmer/happier end. And what stuck with me even more than the importance of getting rid of toys was the idea that it doesn't stop in the playroom: how the rest of the house looks, functions and feels affects our kids (and ultimately, us!) too! I put his methods to work in our playroom almost two years ago. Although the rest of the house is still a work in progress, I can say without a doubt that getting rid of most of our toys was one of the best things we ever did!
Cozy Minimalist Home. This was the last book I read for the year, and it was the perfect way to bring together my newfound passion for decluttering and simplifying with my long-time love of decorating our home. It can be so easy to declutter to a point where it feels like you have nothing left. And likewise, it can be all-to-easy to keep buying stuff you think you love only for your home to still feel incomplete and cluttered. Where is the middle ground?
This book embraces and teaches the "less is more" concept from a design perspective, encouraging you to find big, quality statement pieces that will transform a space in lieu of small, insignificant "tchotchkes" that only add stuff for stuff's sake. More than just inspiring theories, this book actually breaks down the "how" of infusing style into your space without adding more stuff and uses before and after photos to illustrate point after point. If you too want your home to look great but don't want it to feel like the crowded shelves at HomeGoods, this one is a must read.
So how did all these books work? Is my home fully decluttered? Have I embraced the minimalist lifestyle? Not quite…I'm not "there" yet…not by a long shot! But I did make some real, meaningful progress that has me motivated to keep going!
Admittedly, I'd love to be a little further along in our whole house decluttering. So far, I have ruthlessly worked my way through my closet, my craft room, the playroom, the kitchen and our garage…and I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff. More than I've ever gotten rid of before. But I still look around and see so much accumulation…a lot of it stuff I know we don't need or love. That said…I've truly "seen the light," especially in my closet and the playroom. These spaces are so much easier to keep under control because the amount of stuff we're storing is practical and manageable, and I so badly want the rest of the house to be at the same level. Thankfully, we are 6 months out from moving, which is my prime decluttering window, and I'm on a mission for this to be one of our lightest moves yet.
The biggest change that these books brought about though, is a dramatic reduction in my buying. Purging and organizing has never been my problem…I'm more than happy to get rid of stuff we don't use. But until this past year, I've never really been able to stem the flow of items coming into our home (only for them to get purged months or years later). The vicious cycle has always haunted me; and the collective theme of these books really got me thinking about all the wasted time, money, space and energy my "bring it in-purge it out" habit has cost me and my family over the years. Without really planning to, I found myself shopping so much less this last year. I stopped going to Target, the craft stores, and HomeGoods "just because" (which almost always ended up with something coming home with me); I completely re-vamped the way I shop for craft supplies (a tactic I shared in my newsletter but I'll detail more in another post!); and I actively and consistently talked myself out of buying items I knew we didn't need. I didn't necessarily set this as a goal, but the themes of less, simplifying, excess, decluttering, and more were ingrained in me so deeply via reading these books that I (finally!!!) began to internalize it. And it's this reason, more than anything else, that I think I've finally turned the corner on clutter! At least I really, really hope so!
Have you read any of these books? Do you have any impressions that have stuck with you? Do you recommend any other books on this topic? I'm always looking for more good reads, so feel free to share in the comments!

Google Handles a Billion Piracy Takedown Requests in a Year
Of the 1,007,741,143 takedown requests received, 908,237,861 were removed from search results.
https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-handles-a-billion-piracy-takedown-requests-in-a-year
As the biggest provider of search results on the Internet, Google receives a constant barrage of requests to remove content from its results. Some of those requests come from governments, but the majority are submitted by copyright owners very keen to stop their work from being pirated.
These requests arrive in the form of a URL takedown demand, which Google then needs to verify is a legitimate claim before taking the appropriate action. And all the data related to those requests is combined into the regularly updated Google Transparency Report.
The latest figures make for some surprising reading. TorrentFreak reports that over the last year, Google received over a billion URL takedown requests from copyright holders. Of those, just under 909 million turned out to be legitimate and got removed, with those infringing links leading to 347,000 affected websites.
The scale of the takedown system Google runs is huge, and it's growing at a phenomenal rate. Consider that Google kicked off the takedown request program in March 2011. In total 1.97 billion URLs have been removed since then. From 2011 to 2015 it generated around 970 million requests, but the other billion happened just in the last year. How much will it have grown again by November 2017?
Getty Images: Google Promotes Piracy
Google allows you to explore the data, which reveals who the reporting organizations are, as well as which domains suffered the most with removed links. Takedown agencies Rivendell and Degban join publisher BPI at the top of the charts, each submitting in the region of 250 million takedown requests. As for domains, 4shared easily topped the charts with over 50 million URLs removed.

An Interview with Amdocs' David Jacobs
By Michael Grebb | March 1, 2011
As cable operators struggle to keep up consumers as they demand more seamless content integration, we sat down with David Jacobs, CTO of Amdocs' Broadband, Cable & Satellite Division, to analyze challenges facing distributors. He walks us through the "value zone," and also explains why he thinks the "dumb pipe" model can actually be "brilliant" for some ops.
Multiplatform and authentication has changed the game. What's the biggest challenge for MSOs right now?
Previously, we had this closed environment with the vendor in the room. Now we've got connected TVs, PS3s, game consoles—much more open ways for other vendors to enter the living room and to enter the consciousness of individuals. And we've seen the rise of Netflix… A lot more competition in the living room for the same people. Now that's great, and the pay TV distributors of today can respond to that. But many of the challenges to that are that many don't have the infrastructure to respond in an appropriate way.
So what do these traditional distributors need to do?
The first element is that largely their IT infrastructure is a subscription based IT infrastructure. Much of it is very much oriented toward a device or a home. It doesn't necessarily have the sensibility to deal with individuals within the home and recognize that there are individuals who might want their own capability. The second thing is that master catalogs have mostly dealt with what I would call coarse-grained product—bundles of content… Even if you take TV Everywhere type concepts and forget everything else that's going on, everyone will agree that you've got a much finer grain to knead for catalog items.
So is that upsell opportunity the big monetization angle here?
I see three key areas coming together and that are creating this value zone. I think that's really the way you have to see it: as a value zone. And the value zone is [about] having cataloging capability—in other words, "What have I got? What's available to me? What am I entitled to?"… The second dimension is obviously the content itself… The third thing that comes together to create this value zone is the ability to perform transactions.
Some, however, suggest that cable stop trying to control this environment and just use third-party vendors, at least for the transactional element. Is that a good idea?
I think that there is a recognition that the bill is already large, don't add to it and have that handled by a credit card or a Paypal or some other solution like that. But that doesn't mean the primary pay TV operator doesn't want to own that experience that the customer is getting… I don't think I'm unfair if I say that for a very long time the IT functions within many of the pay TV operators was at the very end of the thought process. They're not part of the product; they're there to support the product. And now we're starting to see a change of attitudes in that where IT is part of the product… Most of the IT is very subscription oriented. It handles subscriptions well… But the machinations that have to go on behind the scenes to make it work are not very nice.
But changing those systems can be expensive. Are there ways to do this economically?
One of the things we've been working on is adding… a layer that can add this kind of capability to our IT infrastructure, add the elements that create identities for individuals, add the elements that will allow for better extraction in certain areas… So yes, I think there is definitely an intermediate step. I think Amdocs will be one of the vendors that provide a layer that will make some of that happen. But I think we will see incrementally that people will be revamping their IT infrastructures because it's the only way that they'll be able to keep up.
What about small operators? They face a lot of competition as well, but they have very small IT resources? What do they do?
Maybe some of them will move to be a brilliant pipe provider and seek to resell other people's capabilities—almost through a wholesale model. I think the ones that are the most challenged and are in what I call a poverty trap are the tier twos. On the one hand, they still have the deep pockets that the tier ones have got, yet they don't want to [lose] the existing revenue they get today from pay TV today… I think the model is that they're very much going to say, "What is the value that I can create myself, and how can I leverage what other people are doing?" Not build it myself, but somehow be able to buy it on a wholesale [basis]. So I do believe that the small guys will embrace the Netflixes, will embrace many of these other alternative providers… and offer that as their service because that's the way they maintain some level of concurrency with the rest of the industry.
Most would say "dumb pipe." You say "brilliant." Why?
Because everyone still makes a good quality pipe… Even today, if it's not a good quality pipe… people won't pay for that. There's more evidence coming out that people will pay for that consistency and that quality.
Any final thoughts?
I think everyone's really excited, but you have to remember where we are. We're still at the 0.5 at best of what we're creating here. I don't think we've reached 1.0 yet… We're still really early days… I think we all need to kind of remember that.

Most women do not access dental care during pregnancy, despite evidence that poor oral health can have an adverse impact on the health of a pregnant woman and her child. Health plans, through their interactions with pregnant women, health care providers and community partners, can make substantial contributions to improving access to and utilization of dental care during pregnancy.
The National Institute for Health Care Management (NIHCM) Foundation and the Children's Dental Health Project (CDHP) are pleased to release an issue brief, Improving Access to Perinatal Oral Health Care: Strategies & Considerations for Health Plans, that highlights the importance of good oral health during pregnancy, reviews oral health practice guidelines and policy statements, and presents opportunities for health plans to address the patient, physician, workforce and financial barriers that are currently limiting utilization of perinatal dental care.

In The Blind Prophet we find ourselves in the city of Rotbork, which plunges into ruin, succumbing more and more to demonic influences. The main character of the game is Bartholomeus - one of the twelve Apostles, or divine soldiers, who for over two thousand years have been trying to restore the balance between good and evil, appearing both on Earth and in Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. The plot has a non-linear construction, and how the fate of the protagonist and Rotbork will unfold depends on the decisions made by the player.
In The Blind Prophet, we travel through a city of ninety-nine boards bathed in the darkness, talk to neutral characters and make morally ambiguous choices that influence the story's further course. In addition, there are a number of puzzles waiting to be solved that require acquiring specific items and using them in various ways, or carefully combing through the location in search of useful tips. Production has a simple and intuitive user interface.
Two-dimensional graphics of The Blind Prophet were made in a cel-shading technique. The plot is conveyed mainly through film interludes consisting of static scenes shot in comic style. The game takes place with the accompaniment of climatic, gloomy soundtrack.

Rain of Reflections


I was recently playing around with various techniques for packaging Java microservices and running on OpenShift using various runtimes and frameworks to illustrate their differences (WildFly Swarm vs. WildFly, Spring Boot vs. the world, etc). Around the same time as I was doing this an internal email list thread ignited discussing some of the differences and using terms like Uber JARs, Thin WARs, Skinny WARs, and a few others. Some folks were highlighting the pros and cons of each, especially the benefits of the thin WAR approach when combined with docker image layers.
Skinny – Contains ONLY the bits you literally type into your code editor, and NOTHING else.
Thin – Contains all of the above PLUS the app's direct dependencies of your app (db drivers, utility libraries, etc).
Hollow – The inverse of Thin – Contains only the bits needed to run your app but does NOT contain the app itself. Basically a pre-packaged "app server" to which you can later deploy your app, in the same style as traditional Java EE app servers, but with important differences, we'll get to later.
Fat/Uber – Contains the bit you literally write yourself PLUS the direct dependencies of your app PLUS the bits needed to run your app "on its own".
Now let's define how the qualifiers map to the world of Java applications and package types (JAR, WAR, etc).
Maven and in particular Spring Boot popularized this well-known approach to packaging, which includes everything needed to run the whole app on a standard Java Runtime environment (i.e. so you can run the app with java -jar myapp.jar). The amount of extra runtime stuff included in the Uberjar (and its file size) depends on the framework and runtime features your app uses.
If you're a Java EE developer, chances are you're already doing this. It is what you have been doing for over a decade, so congratulations you're still cool! A thin WAR is a Java EE web application that only contains the web content and business logic you wrote, along with 3rd-party dependencies. It does not contain anything provided by the Java EE runtime, hence it's "thin" but it cannot run "on its own" – it must be deployed to a Java EE app server or Servlet container that contains the "last mile" of bits needed to run the app on the JVM.
Same as a Thin WAR, except using the JAR packaging format. Typically, this is used by specialized applications/plugin architectures that use the JAR packaging format for its purpose-built plugin or runtime artifacts. For example, the .kjar format from Drools.
While less well known than its brethren, a skinny WAR is thinner than a Thin WAR because it does not include any of the 3rd-party libraries that the app depends on. It ONLY contains the (byte) code that you as the developer literally type in your editor. This makes a lot of sense in the docker world of layered container images, where layer size is important for DevOps sanity, and Adam Bien has done an awesome job demonstrating and explaining this. More on this later.
This is a Java application runtime that contains "just enough" app server to run applications but does not contain any applications itself. It can run on its own but isn't that useful when running on its own since it doesn't contain applications and won't do anything other than initializing itself. Some projects like WildFly Swarm allow you to customize how much is "just enough" while others (like Paraya Micro, or TomEE) provide pre-built distributions of popular combinations of runtime components, such as those defined by Eclipse MicroProfile.
Hollow WAR – In theory you could package some kind app to run within another app server and then deploy apps to that inner layer. Good luck with that!
Fat/Uber WAR – Doesn't make sense with the general idea of Fat/Ubers being runnable with java-jar.
EAR files – by definition an EAR file cannot be hollow, fat, or skinny, so all you can create is a Thin EAR (which is what it is already, by definition). Move along, nothing to see here, except that EAR files could be the vehicle that carries dependencies for skinny WARs within the EAR.
The rise of for-rent computing and the popularity of devops processes, Linux containers, and microservice architectures has made app footprint (the number of bytes that make up your app) important again. When you're deploying to dev, test, and production environments multiple times a day (sometimes hundreds per hour or even 2 billion times a week), minimizing the size of your app can have a huge impact on overall devops efficiency, and your operational sanity. You don't have to minimize the lines of code in your app, but you should reduce the number of times your app and its app dependencies have to pass across a network, move onto or off of a disk, or be processed by a program. That means breaking your app into different packaged parts so that they can be properly separated and treated as such (and even versioned if you so choose).
With cloud native microservices, this means using layered Linux container images. If you can separate your app's components into different layers, putting the most frequently changing parts of your app on "top" and the least frequently changing parts on the "bottom", then every time you re-construct a new version of your app you are in reality only touching the highest levels. Saving time across the board for storage, transport, and processing of the new version of your app.
Great. Just tell me which one to use!
It depends. The pros/cons of each have been discussed by others [here, here and here]. Fat/Uber JARs are attractive due to their portability, ease of execution in IDEs and its all-you-need-is-a-JRE characteristic. But the more you can separate the layers (into skinny/thin), the more you will save on network/disk/cpu further down the line. There's also the added benefit of being able to patch all the layers independently, for example, to subscribe and quickly distribute fixes for security vulnerabilities to all of your running apps). So, you have to decide amongst the tradeoffs.
WildFly Swarm is a mechanism for packaging Java applications that contain "just enough" functionality to run the app. It has an abstraction called a Fraction, each of which embodies some functionality that apps need. You can select which Fractions you need, and package only those fractions along with your app to produce a minimized and specialized runnable image for your app.
You can test it out with java -jar target/weight-1.0-swarm.jar and then curl http://localhost:8080/api/hello in a separate terminal window.
Not bad – 45M in size for a completely self-contained FAT jar. You could stuff this in a docker image layer everytime you rebuild, but that 45M will grow as you actually implement a real-world app. Let's see if we can do better.
Now we're getting somewhere. This 512K Thin WAR could be deployed to any app server (such as WildFly itself). So if you stuff this much smaller file into your upper docker layers while your rarely-changed app server lives in a lower layer (as Adam Bien demos multiple times), you'll save quite a bit of time and energy during multiple builds. Let's keep going.
If we continue to add direct dependencies (like database drivers and other things virtually every production app will need), our Thin WAR will also grow and grow in size over time. While 512K isn't bad, we can do much better.
With Maven you could remove the direct dependency from the resulting Thin WAR by declaring it has to be provided, meaning that the runtime (in this case, WildFly) is expected to provide that dependency. Due to the nature of app servers and WildFly's modular class loader, to make WildFly provide this dependency when your app is deployed to it you would need to create a custom JBoss Module definition in your Wildfly configuration and declare a dependency on that module in your app.
WildFly Swarm provides a better way that does not require that you touch the app server bits at all. We can create a custom module called a Fraction. Fractions are first-class citizens in WildFly Swarm, and it has special logic which links code inside of Fractions with application code at runtime. By doing this, our application truly has no dependencies and becomes a Skinny WAR.
It's completely unusable on its own, however. It requires not only an app server with JAX-RS support but also a server that can provide our direct Joda Time dependency. WildFly Swarm provides another facility to create such a server runtime that will contain just enough app server PLUS our newly separated Joda Time dependency. It's called a Hollow JAR.
There's the hollow server weighing in at 44M and our skinny WAR at 2243 bytes (the Linux du utility reports disk space allocated in units of the filesystem's block size, which is 4K on my system, but rest assured the skinny WAR is indeed 2243 bytes and when transferred over a network only 2243 bytes will be sent).
Now you can stuff the hollow JAR into a Linux container layer, and then stuff the skinny WAR on top. When you rebuild your project with new code, assuming you're not adding more dependencies to the app server, only your skinny WAR will be rebuilt, saving time, disk space, trees, and your sanity during those 2 billion container rebuilds you do each week.
Much better than WildFly Swarm's 45M. But where do we go from here? It's still 14M for a hello world app.
While it is possible to separate app code from Spring code and produce an effect much like WildFly Swarm's hollow JAR / skinny WAR duo, it requires you to violate the Fourth wall and know of the internals of the Spring Boot Uberjar, and write scripted surgery on the resulting FAT jar to split its contents along the app boundary defined by Boot. The result is a very tightly coupled and non-portable app and app server, with virtually no hope of upgrading and no ability to deploy anything to it other than the app from which it sprang. Runnable hollow JARs are not considered a first-class citizen in the Spring world.
We shrank our app from 45M → 512K → 2243 bytes using WildFly Swarm. With this approach, we can separate our app from its runtime dependencies, and put them in separate Linux container image layers. This will make your CI/CD pipelines fast, but also make your developers faster at edit/build/test and provide assurance that you are testing with the same bits that will land in production. Win-win-win in my book.To build your Java EE Microservice visit WildFly Swarm and download the cheat sheet.

Saban Films has acquired North American rights to "Bottom of the 9th," an upcoming drama that stars Joe Manganiello and Sofía Vergara. It marks the joint acting debut for the real-life couple.
"Bottom of the 9th" is the story of a man who returns to the Bronx following a 17-year stint in prison for a violent mistake he made as a young man. His imprisonment deprived him of a professional baseball career, and ruined his relationship with the love of his life. The film is slated for a theatrical bow on July 19.
"Bottom of the 9th" is from director, screenwriter, author and musician Raymond De Felitta, the filmmaker behind "City Island" and "Madoff." The film was written by Robert Bruzio and was formerly titled "Stano." Manganiello is best-known for his work in "True Blood" and "Magic Mike." Vergara stars in "Modern Family" and previously appeared in "Hot Pursuit" and "Chef."
Manganiello produced the film with his brother Nick Manganiello under their 3:59 banner, alongside William Chartoff and Lynn Hendee.
Bill Bromiley and Jonathan Saba negotiated the deal for Saban Films along with Kathy Morgan on behalf of the filmmakers.
"This is an excellent first joint project for Joe and Sofia and their real-life chemistry shines on screen," said Bromiley in a statement. " 'Bottom of the 9th' is really heartfelt, our audiences will love this endearing story of second chances and perseverance."
Manganiello commented, "I couldn't be happier to be collaborating with Saban on the release of 'Bottom of the 9th.' It was a labor of love for me and I am so lucky to be partnered with people so genuine and passionate about the film. They are the perfect partners."
Saban Films' upcoming films include Casey Affleck's directorial debut "Light of My Life"; Brian De Palma's "Domino" starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau; and Derrick Borte's "American Dreamer" starring Jim Gaffigan.

Although impressed, Colin's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Colin that he thinks Colin's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else"... Colin says.. "President Obama"... His boss quickly retorts. "Yes"... Colin says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington"... And off they go.
Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Colin, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope"... His boss replies.
Colin and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Colin says, "This will never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope"... An he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Colin emerges with the Pope on the balcony but by the time Colin returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Colin asks him, "What happened"...?
His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the man next to me said, 'Who the bloody hell is that on the balcony with Colin"...?
