Q: Routing to Internal IP? AKS I use an Azure Kubernetes service to provide my microservices. When I log in to my API gateway it works. But when I try to contact another microservice via the Api-Gateway I get an error (500 Internal Server Error). I have also set up a Eureka Naming Server in Kubernetes and all of my provided microservices are registered there. But why can't my API gateway communicate with my microservices?
It also works on the local machine.

All of my microservices run on the same node. My idea may be to reinstall routing in the API gateway. But is it possible to route to internal IPs? Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

A: Since you are running your API-Gateway inside the cluster, the process should be able to access all other pod using their service definition.
Assuming that all of your services/deployments are deployed in the same namespace. the api-gateway should be able to reference them by service name
e.g (fqdn)
contacts-back.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local:8100


Provides secure connection to your local network enabling control of your OpenMotics system through PC, iPad, etc.
Securely connects to the OpenMotics Cloud enabling control over your system from anywhere at anytime.
Possibility to automatically update your other OpenMotics modules (integrated bootloader in Master and Gateway controller).
How do I program a module?

Spectroscopic study of micro-discharges during plasma electrolytic oxidation of Al-Zn-Si alloy
Stevan Stojadinović, Rastko Vasilić
Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process of Al-Zn-Si alloy in water solution containing 4 g L-1 sodium metasilicate at constant current density of 400 mA cm-2 was investigated. The species present in PEO micro-discharges and their ionization stages were identified using optical emission spectroscopy technique. The obtained PEO spectrum consists of atomic/ionic lines originating from the elements present both in the substrate (Al, Zn) and the electrolyte (Na, O, H). Apart from atomic and ionic lines, AlO band at 484.2 nm was also detected. Plasma electron number density diagnostics was performed from the Hb line shape. The electron temperature of (4000 ± 400) K was estimated by measuring the relative line intensities of zinc atomic lines at 481.05 nm and 636.23 nm. In addition, surface morphology, chemical and phase composition of oxide coatings were investigated by SEM-EDS and XRD. Oxide coating morphology is strongly dependent of PEO time. The elemental components of PEO coatings are Al, Zn, O, and Si. The oxide coatings are partly crystallized and mainly composed of gamma phase of Al2O3.

D'Var Torah
It may be difficult to console someone who is grieving or in pain. Sometimes, we do so clumsily, at best. But is that OK?
At times, I have sat with a person in mourning, and they confide in me that someone had said something ineptly, or someone had expressed insensitive words. I remind the grieving person that the empty efforts at consolation likely were well-intended, but that the other person probably did not know how to console.
It is like the episode in this week's Torah portion.
Jacob is informed of the supposed death of his favorite son, Joseph, and he is shown Joseph's torn and bloodied striped coat. Jacob makes the natural assumption that Joseph had been attacked by wild beasts, and he begins protracted and inconsolable mourning. The Torah then reports "All his sons arose in order to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted." [Gen. 37:35]
Why did Jacob refuse to be comforted? Was it because the sons were guilty of conniving, and Jacob perceived their devious deception, their selling Joseph to Egypt? Doubtful – the text shows no evidence. Was it because Joseph was so much Jacob's favorite son that no consolation would be effective? Perhaps, for it is clear that Joseph was unique among the sons and shared a deep affinity with his father. Yet, even for a beloved one, consolation can come; witness Abraham for Sarah, and the same Jacob for Rachel. Was it that Jacob had suffered so much trickery and loss in his life, especially by his family, that this was the last straw? Again, I would doubt this, as he lived for many years, even without Joseph, until the dramatic reunion with Joseph and then living under Pharaoh's domain.
No, my suggestion as to why Jacob could not be consoled by his sons was because their consolation was insincere. They had sold Joseph into slavery and then sat down to a meal; they exhibited no sincerity or sensitivity for their father's feelings at that time, so how could they demonstrate such when his heart was broken?
Consolation, even if inept or clumsy, will work when it is sincere. Few among us are trained or practiced in always saying the right thing. Few among us will go through life and not stumble at the tough and challenging moments. Yet, if we are sincere and genuine in our efforts, then irrespective of their polish, they will at least touch the heart. Rarely does intention or motive matter as much as in consoling.
Jacob could not be comforted by disingenuous sons. We can do better, simply with sincerity.
Shabbat Shalom, Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Chanukah,

Michelle Obama's Tales of Racialized Victimhood
Trump Targets Omar and 'The Squad' During North Carolina Rally, Prompting 'Send her Back' Chants
Is This the "New Normal" for the Confirmation Process?
By Michelle Malkin
About Michelle Malkin
Follow Michelle Malkin on Twitter
FLOTUS at Target in 2011
She changes her story about her adventure at a big-box store.
Oh, woe is she. In an "exclusive" interview with People magazine this week, first lady Michelle Obama lamented the "sting" of "racist experiences" that she and her husband allegedly still suffer. My message for America's Marie Antoinette? Cry me a river.
To show how she's down with The Struggle of post-Ferguson agitators, Mrs. Obama cited a supposedly horrifying incident at a Target store where she was treated, in her paranoid mind, as a subservient. "Even as the first lady," she bemoaned, "not highly disguised, the only person who came up to me in the store was a woman who asked me to help her take something off a shelf."
A lowly peon asked her for an innocent favor? It's Jim Crow all over again! ABC News reports that Mrs. Obama said such "incidents are 'the regular course of life' for African-Americans and a 'challenge' for the country to overcome."
News flash: Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe that it is part of the "regular course of life" of tall people of all colors (Mrs. Obama is 5-foot-11) to be prevailed upon to reach high on behalf of those of us who are vertically challenged. These are not odious "incidents" of racism between slaves and masters. They're matters of common courtesy between equals.
So overcome your ridiculously hypersensitive, privileged self and deal with it, girl! (And now don't get all hot and bothered about the "girl" thing. Sheesh.)
There is, of course, a truly insidious "-ism" at work here: Cynicism. Mrs. Obama's dissemination of her false racial narrative in a popular celebrity rag is cunningly calculated to pander to America's aggrieved leftists. We know Mrs. Obama's victim sob story is a steaming pile of rotten turnips because the last time she talked about The Incident, it was a feel-good late-night talk-show anecdote devoid of discrimination.
On David Letterman's show in 2012, the haute-couture-clad first lady recounted the same "incognito" Target visit to demonstrate her just-like-you bona fides. She chuckled as she shared how the shopper asked, "Can you reach on that shelf and hand me the detergent?" As the audience laughed with delight and Mrs. Obama grinned from ear to ear, she told Letterman: "I reached up, 'cause she was short, and I reached up, pulled it down — she said, 'Well, you didn't have to make it look so easy.' That was my interaction. I felt so good."
From overjoyed Regular Mom to Oppressed Martyr, can Mrs. Obama's shopping fable get any more absurd? To paraphrase a popular slogan of the social-justice mob: Jig's up, don't compute.
It just goes to show you: Once a race hustler, always a race hustler. The first lady demonstrated a willingness to employ accusations of racial oppression for political gain from the earliest days of her adult life. Take Mrs. Obama's senior thesis at Princeton University, titled "Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community." Decrying her racial otherness, the Ivy Leaguer accused her university of pushing her down the dreaded path toward "further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant."
Yet, while regaling campaign crowds with complaints about bias, burdensome education loans, and the beastly lily-white corporate world, Mrs. Obama neglected to mention that it was a white male Princeton alum who went beyond the call of duty to bring her from her imagined "periphery" to the center of power.
As I recounted in my book Culture of Corruption, Sidley and Austin corporate law partner Stephen Carlson offered the elite student generous career guidance and mentoring while she was an undergrad and then reached out to her again when she was at Harvard Law. She secured a coveted job as a summer associate in 1987, accepted a full-time job upon graduation, and never looked back. Mrs. Obama, perpetual victim, hopped from Princeton to Harvard to prestigious law firms, cushy nonprofit gigs, an exclusive Hyde Park manse, and a crony corporate board appointment before landing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Only in America is such upward mobility possible by a thin-skinned incessant whiner who has fabricated racial tall tales all the way to the tippy-top of the ladder of opportunity. God bless the U.S.A.

'Fake governance' has plagued my generation. Here's how we rise above it.
"Tomorrow's leaders see the need to rise above partisan rhetoric. We have the potential to reach consensus on the problems corrupting our country. We just have to be willing to engage with one another to find it."
RealClear Public Affairs

Why I Still Believe in America
We have the opportunity to listen and to understand the pain and struggles of our fellow Americans, to move past our political affiliations in search of common purpose. We have the choice to empathize with those of different backgrounds, races, and ethnicities, to build coalitions that facilitate real and unified change. We have an opportunity to embrace the story of America.
The Fulcrum
Vince Cahill
Online politics is rough, sure, but wading in makes for a better electorate
There are no two ways about it: Political discourse is increasingly taking place online, and not only because of COVID-19 lockdowns. More than 70 percent of American adults were using at least one social media platform as of last year, according to a Pew Research Center survey. As would be expected, the figure soars above 90 percent among adults younger than 30.

Even in these trying times, it is through Jakob's efforts that we can see that open, constructive dialogue is possible, regardless of ideology or belief. With empathy and understanding it is possible to move beyond what we assume to be true and truly listen to understand people different than ourselves.

The normalization agreement reached last week between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, brokered by the Trump administration, is a diplomatic achievement for all the parties involved. The U.S. has brought two of its close allies in the region together; Israel has garnered diplomatic recognition from a third Arab state without making territorial concessions to the Palestinians; and the UAE has strengthened its own regional position and enhanced its reputation in Washington on both sides of the aisle.

Community engagement as a vital component of civic education.
By fostering a community built on mutual respect, rigorous dialogue and solution-oriented strategies, young people will be able to enhance their civic education before entering the often-toxic public discourse.
John Overing
Is there a way to combine two flawed election systems into a better hybrid?
Public trust in the American government has been declining for decades, forcing lawmakers and citizens alike to rethink the most fundamental element of our democracy: how we elect our leaders.

Bridging the Political Divide
Labels only divide us. Let us remember that we share this country and planet and that it is our collective responsibility to secure our future. There is an optimistic saying about today's students becoming the leaders of tomorrow. While I appreciate the sentiment, I would make a slight correction: our students are leading America today.
We Need To Change Our Political Culture.
In the short term, the idea of talking to someone you disagree with sounds like the cause of a headache. It appears naive that the solution to political gridlock can be as simple as facilitating discussions between opposing political viewpoints. However, the alternative of staying within our ideological bubbles is much worse.
Don't give up on democracy, fellow young voters
We have the power to unrig the system. Political apathy is not the answer. As a generation, we must turn to peaceful activism and civic engagement to demand a government that listens to us and a democracy that works for every American.

NAGPUR: In a big push to proposed Smart City Project, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has got powers as planning authority of mouza Pardi, Punapur, Bharatwada and Bhandewadi — covering almost half of East Nagpur — from the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT).
In another development, the area of proposed Smart City has doubled from initial 951 acres to 1,730 acres.
NIT board of trustees headed by chairman Deepak Mhaisekar on Friday approved the NMC's proposal seeking powers as planning authority of four mouza under area-based development plan of Smart City Project's phase-I. Municipal commissioner Ashwin Mudgal, CEO of Smart City special purpose vehicle (SPV) Nagpur Smart and Sustainable City Development Corporation Limited (NSSCDCL) Ramnath Sonawane and other trustees were present in the meeting.
NIT will submit the proposal to the state government for final approval. The government is likely to approve it soon.
Sonawane told TOI that NIT's decision will expedite works under Smart City. "Now, the NMC has powers to prepare draft of town planning scheme and execute works in localities under area-based development plan. Ahmedabad-based HCP Design, Planning and Management Pvt Ltd, appointed to prepare draft of town planning scheme, and global agency Grant Thornton India LLP, as project management unit (PMU), will prepare detailed project report of works to be undertaken in the areas," he said.
Also, the area of proposed Smart City has increased by 490 acres. Initially, the NMC had planned to develop Smart City on 951 acres of Pardi, Punapur and Bharatwada and then revised it to 1,240 acres by adding Bhandewadi. SPV has now added 490 acres that had been left out. The increase in area would help in effective town planning.
Of the total proposed project cost of Rs3,577.77 crore, the cost of area-based development plan in Pardi, Punapur and Bharatwada was Rs876 crore. It is now bound to rise with increase in area.
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and union minister Nitin Gadkari on August 13 are likely to perform bhoomipuja of Command and Control Centre proposed in CP Office premises under Rs520 crore Smart City Solutions Project, which is part of Smart City.
Under Smart City Solutions Project, L&T has installed 2,366 out of total 3,841 CCTVs, 45 of total 56 public announcement systems, 626 of total 790 Wi-Fi access points, 23 of total 158 Smart Bus stops, 12 display screens for environment-related information and 333.20km of 671km optical fibre network.

The R&S®TMU9evo air-cooled UHF transmitter represents the next level of development for the successful family of medium-power transmitters.
Energy efficiency and reliability have been further improved, allowing network operators to achieve even greater operating cost savings throughout the product lifecycle.
R&S®TMU9evo UHF transmitters achieve an energy efficiency of up to 40 %. Years of experience and continual development have given Rohde & Schwarz complete mastery over Doherty technology, which the company has been able to utilize to the greatest advantage.
The R&S®TMU9evo makes low demands on the cooling and energy supply and is therefore ideal for use in environments that do not have a typical transmitter site infrastructure. The transmitter's compact design allows the R&S®TMU9evo to be easily installed into existing racks, and its excellent energy efficiency removes the need for costly cooling systems.
Thousands of R&S®TMU9 transmitters are in operation around the world. Every day, they are proving that they deliver the highest reliability. The R&S®TMU9evo demonstrates the same level of reliability, keeping off-the-air time to a minimum.
Intelligent efficiency optimization from Rohde & Schwarz maximizes efficiency in changing environments, either at the press of a button or adaptively. When changing channels or adjusting the transmitter power, efficiency optimization ensures that energy costs are minimized at all times.
The R&S®TMU9evo features all of the proven strengths of the market-leading R&S®TMU9 platform. The transmitter retains the successful and proven R&S®MultiTX concept along with the R&S®Tx9 generation's intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), which is closely aligned with user requirements and work habits.
The R&S®TMU9evo tracks its performance with built-in analysis capabilities such as efficiency measurement and integrated signal analysis. These features offer instant feedback on operational parameters through a self-monitoring function. This ensures a consistently high quality of service and minimal operational costs.
The Rohde & Schwarz exciter solution relies on a pure software based approach that ideally prepares network operators for ATSC 3.0. Based on a high-performance IT server, it enables network operators to optimally leverage the full capabilities of the standard and to flexibly respond to future signal processing requirements.
The R&S®TMU9evo graphical user interface (GUI) offers broadcast network operators the convenience they want and need when installing, commissioning and operating transmitters. Together with the intelligent efficiency optimization, this reduces network operator costs and maximizes operational convenience.

The national organization advocates for safer police pursuit policies, more pursuit training for officers and technology that helps reduce the need for pursuits.
"Criminals could care less what is printed on a billboard," Farris said.
The cost of the billboards is even more perplexing to Farris since Mayor Tom Barrett and the Common Council approved funding for expanded GPS tracking technology for new police vehicles.
"If you're going to spend money, put it back into things that help reduce pursuits," Farris says in the letter.
Morales has said the billboards serve as a reminder of the reckless driving initiative launched by Milwaukee police, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office and the State Patrol earlier this year.
He added that the initiative is bolstered by his department's pursuit policy, which was revised a year ago to allow officers to chase drivers suspected of nonviolent felonies such as drug possession and reckless driving.
RELATED:'You will be noticing it': Milwaukee police, sheriff's office and state patrol ramp up traffic enforcement
RELATED:Milwaukee police vehicle pursuits surge after policy change to target reckless drivers
The department had tightened the policy in 2010 after four bystanders were killed by drivers fleeing police. The policy then stated that officers could not chase for misdemeanor offenses, such as drug possession, or nonviolent felonies, such as burglary.
But aldermen called for an overhaul to the policy after a rash of hit-and-run deaths and the rise of vehicles used as "rolling drug houses."
Morales was unavailable for comment Thursday and Friday, but a police spokeswoman said the reckless driving initiative has resulted in about 2,500 traffic-related citations and the seizure of a significant amount of drugs and illegal money.
"Our priority is to keep the streets of Milwaukee safe," Sgt. Sheronda Grant said, also noting a 21% drop in fatal crashes.
On June 7, Milwaukee Police Officer Charles Irvine Jr., 23, was killed when the squad he was in crashed on the city's northwest side during a pursuit of a reckless driver. His partner, Officer Matthew Schulze, was driving and was injured in the rollover crash.
The suspected fleeing driver, Ladell Harrison, 29, has been charged with 11 felonies.
Thousands of bystanders killed, injured
Nationally, from 1979 to 2015, more than 5,000 bystanders and passengers — including Paul Farris — were killed and thousands more injured during police pursuits at high speeds and in hazardous conditions, often for minor infractions, according to an analysis by USA TODAY.
Paul Farris was born in Milwaukee, grew up in Minneapolis and earned a bachelor's degree in history and political science from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, in 2006.
He was the lead singer of an indie rock band called theMark, was working as an insurance adjuster and had just completed law school entrance exams.
"He was an outgoing, active, smart, engaged young man," his father recalled.
"He had a lot of best friends."
Early on May 27, 2007, Paul Farris and his girlfriend were in Somerville, Massachusetts, in a taxi driven by Walid Chahine, 45.
Shortly before 1:30 a.m., Javier Morales, then 29, fled a trooper attempting to stop him in nearby Everett for a traffic violation in his Mercury Mountaineer.
Morales led the trooper on a high-speed chase through Everett, Medford and finally Somerville, where his SUV slammed into the taxi, fatally injuring Farris and critically injuring his girlfriend and Chahine.
Chahine died several days later.
Notified of his son's death by an emergency room doctor, Farris was not aware a police pursuit preceded the crash until after he arrived in Massachusetts to claim his son's body.
"The State Patrol never contacted us," he said. "I learned about what had happened from a reporter."
Javier Morales was charged with two counts each of manslaughter and motor vehicle homicide and sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison.
State Police later overhauled the agency's chase policy, placing greater emphasis on assessing potential risk to the public.
Jonathan Farris sought solace by connecting with the families of other pursuit victims and began researching pursuit policies and fatalities.
This led to "activism as therapy" and his eventual founding of Pursuit for Change.
He now travels the country promoting safer pursuit policies among lawmakers, law enforcement agencies and the media and has helped craft legislation to reduce unnecessary pursuits.
"My son would expect this of me, and I'm confident that if it had happened to me he would have done the same thing," Farris said.
"The only way change ever occurs is if some people get mad enough and something gets done."


Just tested this and it does not appear to be fixed.

GOP faces its Vietnam moment with health care vote
Bob Collins September 19, 2017, 6:51 AM Sep 19, 2017
"We'd like to do something and something's better than nothing."
And this concludes the lesson on how a dead-and-gone effort to repeal Obamacare rolled back to life.
Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts' response to the question yesterday revealed anew that the effort is born entirely of a concern for the political futures of the men of the U.S. Senate.
Coincidentally, his comment came the same evening as Ken Burns' second episode of The Vietnam War series concluded with President John Kennedy acknowledging that the still-growing Indochina war was likely a lost cause. But how could he say that "and still expect people to vote for me?"
Republicans are in their own political quagmire having made easy-to-make campaign speeches and finding actually destroying the health care of Americans is a little harder. Now, they've got only 11 days left before they'd have to include Democrats in an overhaul of the system. Eleven days to jam an under-the-radar bill through the Senate before Americans, whose attention has been diverted to hurricanes, gets wind of the effort.
"It is hard to overstate the cruelty of the Graham-Cassidy bill," the New York Times writes in its editorial today. "It would eliminate the mandate that even healthy people buy health insurance, end the subsidies that help people purchase coverage and stop the expansion of Medicaid.
It would offer states block grants they could use to help people get insurance but would leave people at the mercy of individual state legislatures and, over all, would provide $239 billion less than what the federal government would spend under current law between 2020 and 2026, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities."
The two Republican women who courageously bucked their political leaders on a bill considered better than this one — Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — lean against this bill, too, but haven't ruled out voting for it.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has once again been better at portraying himself as a maverick then actually being one (not that the nation's political media has noticed, mind you), is once again a key, providing political cover for himself by saying he might vote for it if his state's governor approves of the idea. He does.
"We've had nine months to get it done and we haven't so is it my problem now that we only have a week? It's not my problem," McCain tells CNN.
Extensive hearings? Reasonable time for debate? A Congressional Budget Office assessment of the bill's impact? No time for that. And, besides, something's better than nothing.
Senators will have 90 seconds to two minutes to speak on the bill, one Democratic senator says.
"It's a heck of a way to make a far reaching decision that will affect every American," Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts writes today.
But how else can senators expect the American people to vote for them again?
‹ Older No humans left on island hit by Hurricane Irma
Newer › In one city — nope, not ours — sports teams unite to fight racism
Paul Weimer
Mendacity, greed and a fear of the Tea Party base if they don't get rid of that Kenyan Socialist's health care plan may yet make the lives of millions of Americans demonstrably worse.
Welcome to America.
…and this is surprising?
This is a punitive action, actually going after people and their access to health insurance. And it is a byproduct of not being able to govern effectively when in charge. And, like the Kennedy/Vietnam parallel, they know it and will do so anyway.
The Washington Post proudly(?) sports on its webpage, directly under the masthead "Democracy Dies in Darkness." There's a few lights still flickering here and there, but between our elected officials at the national and state level, mainstream media that is more often than not full of itself and an ignorant electorate, we're toast.
Case in point: the Post just sent me an alert that says (and I quote): " 'Growing up' slower – Teens are not in a rush to date, drive or become adults, a new study finds."
The issue wasn't even mentioned on NPR's Morning Edition today. Amazing how easy it is to get bored with a critical story.
The President is doing his part in keeping us distracted (and so, so embarrassed).
This is where we say bipartisanship is a good idea since for the last 11 years, gridlock has been the name of the game.
This "Hail Mary" move by a political party that is clearly in disarray and self-destructing should not surprise anyone. And of course the Alabama election could tell the tale so they have to do it before another possible maverick is elected to the Senate.
Any elected Congressional official who thinks this is what is best for Americans can buy my waterfront property in Barbuda.
Once again, the only thing that matters is maintaining control of Congress.
We should all be saying our Hail Marys that more reasonable and merciful heads will prevail.
If hopes were horses, we'd all be riding mounts called Kumbaya.
That's close to a proverb I heard while living in Kenya. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."
Also guessing that a good percentage of Newscut regulars are watching the Vietnam series. Count me in that group.
Ich, auch.
The Democrats can quickly put this to their advantage by forcefully coming out and supporting Bernie Sanders' "Medicare For All" bill that was recently introduced. Perhaps the party should ask every Congressional candidate to publicly support that bill, or else something similar that would advance us toward universal coverage.
I'd bet that would be a successful strategy for 2018. What's stopping them?
Sanders holding his news conference last week was a blunder. It gave the GOP the boogeyman it needed. Sanders is a sleeper cell in the party.
It's not Sanders who's driven the party to a low of representation not seen since before the New Deal. That's all on the current geniuses.
Onan (the Barbarian)
Then again, Sanders isn't a Democrat.
Correct, though he's allowed to caucus with them… or infiltrate, depending on your perspective, I suppose.
Yes…but most people seem to forget that part.
/Caucused for him
I didn't say anything about Sanders and the state of the democratic party. I said he gave the GOP ammunition on the health care bill that allowed a talking point for the revival of the effort to strip people of health care coverage.
The state of the Democratic party, for the purposes of the current dynamic involving health care and the U.S. Senate, is pretty irrelevant, and an obvious distraction from the issue at hand.
The Republican Party control most state legislatures, most statehouses, the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and the White House and still can't get this bill through.
Why? It turns out people like having access to health care.
I don't see how the abysmal electoral performance of the Democratic Party during Obama's tenure is irrelevant to this debate. If they still had a majority in either house of Congress, the Republicans wouldn't even be able to entertain thoughts of ACA repeal. The Democrats' nationwide collapse is all too relevant.
Sanders is the most popular politician in America. That's something that perhaps the Democratic Party could learn from, except that it's not really dedicated to progressive solutions, only pretending it is.
It doesn't help that the GOP got 49% of the votes for the house of representatives (nationally), and managed to get 55% of the seats.
Gerrymandering is not good, but it's also not new. The Democrats practiced it with relish when they were more popular…. decades ago. Also, it doesn't explain their loss of the Senate.
// I don't see how the abysmal electoral performance of the Democratic Party during Obama's tenure is irrelevant to this debate.
Because it's not part of the debate, is the primary reason.
It's a "what if" that doesn't matter at the moment .
This is a Republican issue right now with a party that's in control in a one-party situation.
The Democrats are irrelevant in this particular debate.
It matters of the here and now, it doesn't matter what could have been, what used to be, or what might be. The only thing that matters is what is.
// The Democrats are irrelevant in this particular debate.
Their input is irrelevant to the current Congressional debate because of their poor showing in multiple elections – their historic collapse in recent years. That fact is itself relevant to the larger public debate.
// ebate because of their poor showing in multiple elections – their historic collapse in recent years. That fact is itself relevant to the larger public debate.
There is no larger public debate. What is is…. The U.S. is a one-party government and all the "why is that?" has nothing to do now with the discussion of the next 11 days of debate on a fifth of the U.S. economy.
This is Republicans v. Republicans
// There is no larger public debate.
To the contrary, the public debate about national healthcare has been going on since the Truman administration. An understanding of the broader dynamics, and the history of how we got from there to here is generally relevant in the discussion of complex human problems.
Denying the impact of the spectacular, multi-year failure of the Democratic Party may make certain people feel better, but it doesn't help anyone's understanding of the healthcare issue. It only enfeebles it.
That's not a debate, that's a fact. It's undeniable that the Democrats have lost control of most of the country's government.
And that has obviously brought us to this moment. But from this moment to September 30, it has zero to do with what happens now.
The Democrats are on the sidelines. The Republicans are up.
You don't have to know any history to watch and understand the next 11 days. You just have to be able to count to 50.
There are many reasons we're now at this point. But whether one wants to understand why we're at this point doesn't change a thing about the reality that here we are.
Again, to bring it back to Vietnam. The blunders of Truman and Eisenhower didn't make Jack Kennedy make a bad decision. They only put him into the position of having to make a decision at all. But he owned his own mistake, though he was dead 18 days after he made it.
I'm not so sure, by branding it "Medicare for All" it makes it hard to disparage a popular and generally well-regarded program.
I love American Exceptionalism so much that it makes me teary-eyed.
As a maverick, McCain has always been all hat and no cattle, and the fact that he's likely to vote for this latest No Healthcare For You clusterf&!k because "his governor wants it" is the epitome of herd instinct.
We know McCain is nearing the end of his life. With a brain tumor on his frontal lobe areas, he will become less and less reliable. Perhaps he wants to go out with his conscience clear.
Since he won't be here for the fall out, I don't lend him too much credence.
I know you were being sarcastic, but good god how I despise the words "American Exceptionalism"!
Me too. If only the wrong-headed folks who use the term in earnest would suddenly see how hallucinatory it is. Ain't holding my breath.
The folly of American Exceptionalism really was driven home in last night's episode of Vietnam. It seems to have been the basis for the majority of the bad decisions. Oh yeah, and it eerily sounded a lot like what guided us in Iraq and Afghanistan too. Go team go!
That was Episode 1 of the Vietnam War you're thinking of 😉
We keep using the same flawed decision making process.
Because….there are short term political incentives to start/continue military adventures, even knowing they will not achieve stated objectives. Political advantage > nation's best interests.
I like "all hat and no cattle", though. I'm going to use that.
I do hope each republican senator voting for this will agree not to complain when President Gillibrand rams through medicare for all on 50 votes in 2021 with no hearings and no CBO score.
Postal Customer
They don't care about people. Can the media get to that?
bob, can you explain to me why the gop is is so hellbent on taking away peoples health care? and then expecting to get elected again.
Because saying they would is how they won an election and Democrats were too scared of being tagged with "Obamacare" that they barely put up a fight to defend the notion that while only 50% of people vote, 100% of people have bodies that fail on occasion and , ultimately, forever.
Because the media covers elections in pithy little sound bites and blanches at the notion of a deep dive into an issue and, as a result, it never occurs to people that they benefit from health care, they benefit from Medicare. They get swept up in the emotion of the herd menality, cast their vote and then later are shocked — shocked — to find out that the birth of their kid will no longer be covered, or that they can't get pap smear anymore without paying for it.
"Wait a minute!" they say. "I didn't mean get rid of MY health care! I didn't think it would affect the insurance I get through work!"
People have chosen to live uninformed lives and Republicans, in particular, are REALLY good at understanding that and winning elections.
Obamacare never had a technical bill passed. Early on it was established that riding the anti-Obamacare horse was the way to win elections.
And at the end of the day, winning elections is the name of the game.
To bring it back to the original comparison, watch the old parades when people march off to war. It's a great celebration. It's not the same as a battlefield.
I LOVE your pithy observation that //people have chosen to live uninformed lives, and Republicans, in particular, are REALLY good at understanding that (and exploiting it) to win elections.
Births aren't covered anyway. My Fortune 100 employer "gives" us a high-deductible plan with an HSA. In addition to $400/month premiums, we'll be at least $8k out of pocket after the birth of our second kid.
I made the mistake of requesting an itemized bill.
1 ibuprofen = $22.
1 prenatal vitamin =$24.
1 bag of saline $50.
I'm so furious and confused that I'm just paying the bill. I don't have the time or knowledge to call and "negotiate" better prices. What a load.
The good news is you at least you get a kid out of the deal.
Just read that breast cancer treatment will cost another $142,000 out of this deal. And, of course, preventive may not be covered so there'll be more of that.
But, hey, votes!
Try having a cardiac arrest. That's even more expensive but I'm glad to have health insurance. There was more than 75K that we DIDN'T have to pay.
good answer but maybe my question shoild be have these people no morals?


I-940 has been approved for weeks now, and yet the debate over it goes on.
On November 6, millions of Washingtonians cast their voting ballots to make their voices heard around the state. The rest of America did so as well for the midterm elections, selecting various Senate representatives and passing different citizen-made laws depending on state issues.
Initiative Measure Number 940 or I-940 concerned law enforcement. Approved, the initiative now requires law enforcement to receive violence de-escalation, mental-health, and first-aid training as well as reduce their use of deadly force with a 'good faith' standard that was also added with the approval.
Police are now able to be prosecuted and investigated for any 'rough' handling of suspects, making it easier for officers to lose their jobs if the court rules against them. The only thing that protects officers from the threat of investigation is if they use their practice routine of how to handle situations and evidence of such routine.
Opposers of the initiative used the likely circumstances of a school shooting or any shooting for that matter to illustrate the flaws in the reduction of deadly force. They claimed that before an officer was to aid any victims, they were to aid the suspect first, possibly causing more fatalities. Even after that, the officer could still be prosecuted. There's also the fact that police officers are trained and paid for their use of deadly force to keep communities safe.
Supporters of I-940 argue if officers are trained in the use of first-aid, violence de-escalation and mental-health, then they'd be able to communicate well with people from different walks of life and act appropriately in highly stressful situations.
Both sides of the ongoing argument on training and de-escalation of law enforcement have the well-being of Washington's communities in mind with the support and opposition of approved Initiative 940.

As we make the move into bandhood, it occurs to me that we might want to start making our breaks, backup parts and fills more predictable. Not that we play exactly the same thing every time, but that at least our breaks are the recognizable "breaks we do on this song." This is what we seem to expect from bluegrass shows we go to — that the banjo player does the break people know and love, or some version thereof. To take the example of "Colleen Malone," the live version of the intro banjo/mando break is virtually the same as the studio version.
whole performance into a soulless machine) seems to have a few benefits. For one thing, if you have a set break for a song, you can work on it, make it better, cleaner, more interesting, while if you're always doing something completely different, you don't have as much opportunity to refine a specific break. Another advantage is that if the other pickers know more or less what you're going to do, they're in a better position to play off you, adding fills or percussive effects or even harmony lines. And of course, if everyone knows who's doing what fills and what kind of backup when, there's less chance of people stepping on each other.
You've spelled out the advantages and disadvantages well. The planning part means everyone has to take the time and effort to remember stuff. Like other aspects of being more like a "real band", this smacks a bit of "work", which some hobby musicians want no part of. And some others want to see how close they can get to sounding "pro". In bluegrass, there are few players with the improv skills to put out a really good and cleanly executed break that they're just "faking" at the time.
I always recommend that band players (or even serious jammers) pick a song or two that they will really get down and polish to a fine sheen. Partly it can serve as an example of how good they *can* sound. Also, working through the technical problems to get the whole thing smooth and slick, may well force them to deal with some technical issues that, once solved, will cause a general upgrade of their playing.
To do the above means settling on exactly what the break will sound like, much like a composition. It's a fixed thing that you can then go over with a microscope, slowly eradicating each and every difference between you and a "pro sounding player". That can be a large job, but even when halfway done, the result will sound cleaner and better, generally, than an improv'd break.
The spontaneity factor is important though. As a member of Hot Rize, after several years of playing exactly the same breaks (quite cleanly, generally, even when nervous) I came to realize there's a cost in predictability as well as a gain. Audiences tend to know when something is canned or made up just for them. Some energy bursts and other cool effects happen better when they occur spontaneously, thanks to everyone being responsive to each other. When it's all planned, the effect may be a bit less delightful. Kind of the way photos of musicians taken "live" always look different from faked "live" shots. You can tell.
Re Colleen Malone, that's an example of us wanting to do something "signature" for this song. We kind of ripped off our own arrangement of Nellie Kane (same key and tempo, another sweet love song, from the early days of the band), where the banjo and mando just unison the melody, plain Jane, just to salute it and to announce, this is a good old down home song, straight ahead. Sometimes a statement like that actually stands out. There are no licks, no flashy spots, just the melody, that's unique to this tune. Most licks, especially common ones, have a big job to compete with a well-played good melody with minor nuances the way a singer would have.
My main recommendation is to do a "pilot project" song or two, and see what everyone thinks: Convert all the arrangements to "worked out" or leave some things to chance (assuming some general prep). Every band has that choice, and there are obviously many different outcomes, depending on personal taste, and how well the players can handle the requirements of the two choices.

Q: React Redux - how to trigger action after another action without Component I'm using react-persist to save redux state to local storage.
I want to make an api call based on the persisted state, so I want to dispatch the request call right after the action persist/REHYDRATE (defined by the library and executed on its own) occurs.
Which is the best way to achieve this?

A: The posted answer has a mistake so I thought of improving the mistaken answer:
According to the question "I want to dispatch the request call right AFTER the action persist/REHYDRATE".
import {API_CALL} from "./ACTION/API/index"

let hasRehydrated = false;

const onRehydrationMiddleware = store => next => action => {
    // if this Action happens to be 'persist/REHYDRATE' then follow it up with your
    // desired Action
    if (!hasRehydrated && action.type === 'persist/REHYDRATE') {
        hasRehydrated = true;
        next(action); // this is to make sure you get the Rehydrated State before making
                      // the store.dispatch(API_CALL()) call
        store.dispatch(API_CALL()); //
    } else {
        // make a call to the next action
        next(action);
    }
};

thanks to timotgl for his answer

A: Try this middleware:
let hasRehydrated = false;

const onRehydrationMiddleware = store => next => action => {
    if (!hasRehydrated && action.type === 'persist/REHYDRATE') {
        hasRehydrated = true;
        store.dispatch(callApi());
    } else {
        next(action);
    }
};

You might not need to remember wether persist/REHYDRATE was already dispatched before (I wasn't sure if it happens only once), in this case just remove the flag. Otherwise it will remember the event in module scope where your middleware lives, which works fine as a poor man's singleton pattern.
The middleware is basically never needed again after this event, but I don't think it's possible to throw them out after creating the store. You could use store.subscribe(listener) but the listener doesn't see actions. Another option would be to detect that rehydration happened based on the state, which I'm assuming changes in some way. Then store.subscribe would work, and you could call the api and unsubscribe right after.

Training staff while they work helps you upskill and retain employees, and grow your business — at little or no extra cost.
If you're in the services sector — tourism, hospitality, retail, aviation, travel and museums — on-job training programmes from industry training organisation (ITO) ServiceIQ can be free.
ServiceIQ has training programmes, apprenticeships and quick online courses for people at every level of a business, from new entrant to supervisor and manager.
"Employers can take on trained people but should think about how much more they're paying for that extra experience", says ServiceIQ chief executive Dean Minchington.
It also gives small businesses flexibility to fit training around their business needs, eg by training people one at a time or in groups.
"Our training advisors are concerned with business success as well as staff upskilling so they understand business needs and how training can help," says Dean.
To find programmes that best suit your business, contact ServiceIQ to arrange for an advisor to visit you.
On-job training lets staff learn while they earn.
This helps businesses attract high-quality new staff and retain good people.
As the ITO for the services industry, ServiceIQ gets state funding for training businesses in its sectors, which brings down costs for its programmes.
You don't pay course fees or for time off work with on-job training. And if you opt for an in-house assessor — rather than one from ServiceIQ — you can waive the small monthly assessment fee, making the training free.
"Not taking advantage of training staff on-the-job is essentially like turning down a tax refund," says Dean.
You may also be able to get extra funding from Work and Income to help with the costs of training a new employee.


Mondi Plc, international packaging materials market giant, has apparently given the nod to purchase a privately-owned Egypt-based industrial bags maker for a valuation of EUR 23.7 million. If reports are to be believed, Mondi's acquisition offer of over USD 28 million comes on the heels of its supposed intention to expand further in the Middle East packaging materials market.
For the uninitiated, the industrial bags manufacturer – the National Company for Paper Products and Import & Export S.A.E (NPP), operates a regional plant in Giza, near Cairo. Last year, the facility generated a revenue of EUR 29 million and adjusted EBITDA of around EUR 5 million.
Mondi's chief executive of fiber packaging, Erik Bouts, reportedly has been quoted stating that NPP's acquisition sufficiently complements the packaging materials industry firm's network of plants across the Middle East. In addition, he says, the takeover positions the company in a better place in Egypt to successfully expand its operations and efficiently serve its consumer base.
Incidentally, Mondi has long since established its place in the Middle East packaging materials market as a prominent manufacturer of industrial bags and boasts of four well-tended plants in the region. The company produces bags that are suitable for maintaining the freshness of produce, rapid filling, or heavy-duty use.
In a bid to further fortify its stance in the global packaging space, Mondi has apparently taken on a project worth around EUR 750 million, primarily to increase the production capacity at its paper mills. Through this venture, Mondi plausibly aims to cater to higher demand from the container & corrugated packing as well as a few domains of the consumer packaging sectors and ultimately increase its revenue, beginning 2019.
Also listed on the London Stock Exchange, Mondi, in an official statement, claimed to purchase all the shares in NPP on a debt and cash free-basis.


Visit an orchard. Nothing makes you think fall more than fresh, delicious apples and frosty, orange pumpkins. Local orchards provide a beautiful backdrop for a family outing. Many orchards allow you to pick your own fruits and vegetables. In addition, several even provide farmers' markets, classes, hayrides, and other activities to keep you and your children busy and entertained for hours.
Enjoy fall festivals and fairs. It seems that every week we hear about another festival or fair that is popping up across the area. These events often provide diverse entertainment and fun for all ages. From handmade items to rides to scrumptious food, fairs and festivals have something for everyone!
Create autumn artwork. Begin your craft time with a nature walk where kids can collect things like twigs, leaves, and acorns. These can be combined with other items or drawings to create beautiful nature scenes. Kids can also simply arrange the items on paper to create their own fall collages. If you add some paint to the mix, the leaves, acorns (and acorn tops), and twigs can be used as stamps to make fall prints as well. Obviously, these are just a few simple ideas. When your kids' imaginations combine with the wonders of nature in the fall, the possibilities are endless.
As your family gets back into the hectic routine of school, sports and other extra-curricular activities, make sure to take some time this year to enjoy the wonder of fall. Whether you decide on one of the ideas above or begin (or continue) a tradition all your own, maybe…just maybe….you will find that fall becomes your favorite time of year too.


Not too long ago I had to scrap a photo excursion to the coast due to unfavorable weather. I was also searching for lots of good color and contrast to test the new Canon 5DS R for my review I recently posted here. So with the evening skies clearing up here in Sacramento I decided to visit the Global Winter Wonderland light show at the California Expo. It is essentially a winter fair. A great place for those who crave getting outside and enjoying a fair atmosphere in the winter.
If you haven't visited one of these shows before, you really must go at least once. The light sculptures are spectacular! They make especially great subjects for photography. The piece I found most impressive was the bee hive that was made up of thousands of small medicine bottles. The Canon 5Ds R was right at home capturing all the incredible detail, talent and effort that goes into these sculptures. I shot the whole evening with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens on a Manfrotto BeFree Tripod. It was great practice exercise. It also became readily apparent that this lens is nowhere near sharp enough for the camera. Still it was sharp enough to make out faint fabric textures while standing back at it's widest. Impressive no less, considering how dated this lens design is. Great job Canon.
Without further ado, here are the highlights from the show. Global Winter Wonderland runs until early January so you still have some time to catch it. I believe they also host shows is several other cities, so it might be worth looking up.


In a remote village in Anhui Province lives a 54-year-old farmer named Luo Yuanping. There is pretty much nothing remarkable about Luo Yuanping, except for the fact that he bears a remarkable resemblance to Vladimir Putin, the Russian President. He is therefore known on the Chinese internet as "Putin Bro" (普京哥).
But back to Putin Bro. Not only does he have strikingly similar facial features — high hairline, broad forehead, thin lips, etc. — he also has blue eyes (though it's hard to tell in pictures) and boasts a height of 5'7″. For your information, Putin is only a tad shorter, at 5'5.7″.
Though Putin Bro received quite a bit of attention from both local and international media back in 2011, it apparently hasn't changed him at all. He stays true to himself and lives a humble life as a farmer. Being the humble guy he is, his hope is to marry a woman he loves, although he doesn't have the ability to do so.
Read more about Luo Yuanpin's unlikely brush with fame (his internet celebrity spiked again last month, when the Chinese and Russian presidents held a one-on-one meeting ahead of this year's G20), right here.
