On the occasion of Republic day, Government of India have a practice of conferring Civilians with highest award for their social work. I would say one genuine thing the Government does without corruption.
I always look for this day to visualize the patriotic parade in New Delhi and the genuine nominees for various awards. This time I witnessed a tea seller was conferred with Padma shri and its really fascinating.
Philanthropist Devarapalli Prakash Rao was selected from the state of Odissa for the honour.
Prakash Rao, who lives in a slum area near Buxi Bazzar teaches around 70-80 children in the age group of 4-9 years from the economically weaker category every year. He has a strong command over 8 different languages and uses his knowledge to help children. He not only teaches the children, but also provides free food for poor patients at a nearby government hospital for last 40 years. It is said that he earns around 700 Rupees by selling tea and snacks with his tea stall and spends half of his amount on his social work.
In an interview he said that he has been donating blood since 1978 and estimates over 200 times till date. This is an example for the youths of our country. This is amazing to witness such people in our country. People like Prakash Rao make us believe that humanity exist.
Yes he is…Not everyone will share with what they have that only feed their daily needs.
By this post you are also contributing and inspiring folks like us.Thank you Chiru.
Thank you for this story and for the inspiration.
I completely agree! We can serve others no matter in what situation or what financial level we are. It is a lesson for all.
Yes a lesson for us all..
Yes Adi.. people like him amaze us with their generosity..
Humanity still exists. Thanks for sharing this valuable information Chiru.
Prakash Rao is truly an inspiring individual and well-deserving of the Padma Shree Award.
Yes, humane spirits exist among us – and in the most unexpected places.
Putting in your best effort entails sacrifice which is unselfish. It means sometimes you may suffer from lack yourself. It takes you to another realm of understanding humanity.
Yes Krishna… People like him inspire us more in helping others… Thank you so much… Have a great week…!!
I would have not known … thanking for sharing. Congratulations to Sri Prakash Rao.
Yes He truly deserves it..
Yes you will… More to more he know 8 languages and teaches kids..
So true.. our world is full of such people..

This was published last February before the election but it somehow disappeared. I wonder why.
The scientist looks harder into the telescope, he is bored of the problems here. He wants to create new ones out there. Are they out there staring back at him or are they already in the neighborhood? He knows the truth, but he has traded the freedom that comes with telling it for the power he was promised for keeping it. Can we have both power and truth at the same time or will we never know the truth about aliens? A few gods own the truth and they keep the power and they are not willing to share either with the rest of us. They want us to think that we can only get one or the other but their true intention is to make sure that we are only left with a delusion in our hands. They leave us wondering whether we should pay the price for truth and give up our power or pray that we never find out the truth that will haunt us. This Neveruary, he is going to find out whether to pay or pray and he will take the advantage of the power of truth from the self acclaimed gods of capitalism and share it with the rest of us.
Politicians fighting for power. An aging ruler vs a struggling simpleton. Who will win the race? With a vicious run for it, they find smart thinkers, and planted their seeds of reasoning. Some called it change others transformation. Some watered it with money, others placed a higher value for their conscience-more money. They added fertilizer on the seeds- all colors of religious and tribal sentiments, some good intentions (the kind that pave the way to hell) and the promise of a few big interests. The hungry streets grew with the seeds and the fruits of opinions were formed. The fruits fell on the ground and littered the floor. They rot and filled the whole air with their smell- this is the food of the streets. Soon, all you will ever know about those streets will be the fruits of the opinions. Except that the innocent children who are crying out for their future beg that they are not a part of the argument for the more appealing mediocrity. They do not want Goodluck to be their valentine and they do not want to see this Febuhari come to past. All they beg for is that politics be based on patriotism, fair judgement, and the right values. The politicians both backed down and said, you know what? They are right. Since we can't give them what they need, we will back down and find someone that can this Neveruary.
A lonely boy got popular. But it didn't help his loneliness. He has been lonely for so long that the few times he makes love with his right hand, he feels less human. Loneliness seemed to be his destiny until he fooled a girl to be a part of his loneliness. And they started sharing that loneliness together. He is not sure how long he can keep her there or how long he will want her to stay. But he spent valentine's day with her, unlike one of his friends who broke up with his girl for farting on a date two days before valentine's day. He even bought her a precious gift from a land too far away unlike his other friend who emailed his girlfriend a pdf novel she had been looking to read. All these he did knowing that he needed something for the future. So he gets proactive as he plans the next 10 steps. He wastes no time in finding ways to fill his future loneliness with friends he could replace his hand with or better yet friends he could fool to make a lifelong commitment to share and enjoy his loneliness. The only problem is that it is not the future yet, but he has started living it. He stops himself halfway into completely escaping into what he is enjoying and brings himself to the present where the innocent girl he fooled was waiting to share his loneliness. He will get rid of his projected happiness and be faithful to this girl and he will turn his loneliness into togetherness and have friends for the sake of friendship only, this Neveruary.

Facade Repair and Restoration How to Know When It's Time
By Mike Odenthal 2019 March Maintenance Exterior
When you close your eyes and picture any building, you are quite likely imagining its facade – the outer shell which protects and contains all of the hustle and bustle that goes on within. In a residential property, the facade is what separates a building's occupants from both elements and intruders. As such, it's imperative that the facade be inspected, maintained and serviced regularly to ensure that it's secure and functioning as intended. For a community association, the responsibility to do this falls on the board or management. While methods and routines may differ, facade care should be a major priority for every association.
(Non-)Moving Pieces
The standard facade consists of many parts – and all must be in working condition, lest the greater structure start to falter.
"We look at building exteriors – or the building 'envelope' – as a system of various components: the roof, trim, windows, exterior cladding (including shingles, clapboards, brick, EIFS [exterior insulation finishing system], etc.) and all related flashings and details," explains Robert H. McBride, CEO of the Dartmouth Group, a property management firm in Bedford, Massachusetts. "It is very difficult – and arguably unwise – to look at any of these individually; they're all integrated in order to provide the intended function of protecting the building structure and interiors, primarily from water intrusion."
The manager and/or relevant board members should develop a familiarity with the facade of their building or buildings to better assess when something may be amiss. "It becomes clear that a repair, or at least a professional consultation, is necessary through day-to-day inspections," says Frank Anastasi, Manager of the Riverwood Community Association in Port Charlotte, Florida. Leave your facade to its own devices for too long and "you'll start to notice rot, receive more complaints regarding leaks from homeowners, see paint failure or cracked wood... the general appearance just begins to look quite bad," Anastasi says. He further adds: "And you should know the useful life of your facade via your reserve report, at which time you should be able to assess if things are not looking so good, visually."
A failure to properly assess root causes or smaller signs of wear can have that Band-Aid-over-a-bullet-hole effect, where you're only treating symptoms of a larger problem, rather than curing it. "When individual, piecemeal repairs are no longer feasible or cost effective, it may be time to consider a major repair," warns Kelli Rick, a property manager with Draper and Kramer, Incorporated, in Chicago.

« More Great Advice for Pregnant Lawyers and Other Professionals, At CorporetteMoms!
Help me shop? Last year there were a lot of recommendations for the Lands End Long Commuter Down Coat. But I was pregnant so I didn't buy it, thinking I'd buy it this year . . . and they discontinued it (it's still online, but only in limited sizes and colors).
Can you help me find something similar? I like that it was a down coat that wasn't puffy, had a hood, looked to have some structure but no crazy pockets or fur, and the length was nice too.
And that price is crazy good.
Check out Eddie Bauer. I was in one of their outlet stores recently and they had a pretty good selection of coats. I'm petite and bought a down jacket with a hood that does not overwhelm me.
I also have an Eddie Bauer puffer jacket. It's bit overwhelming for my 5'4 frame but really warm and I got a really good deal at an outlet.
I love Eddie Bauer. I have a pretty puffer jacket that is very light, so it is already to cold to wear it, but it does NOT make me look fat like my Canadian Goose Goose Down Jacket. I prefer to look svelte, which the Eddie Bauer jacket does for me. Also, men tend to look more at me when I do not show a bigger tuchus, which is what the Canadan Goose jacket does for me. FOOEY on that jacket, tho it is warm and I DO need to stay warm outside.
I want to wish the HIVE happy thanksgiving, as I will be going to LI tomorrow and may not get to post, except from Dad's I-Mac! YAY!!!
I have a longer Eddie Bauer coat that I wear most of the winter and love. I got it at Costco for $40. It's absolutely perfect. Zipped pockets, warm but not bulky, long enough to cover my rear, has a hood, elastic on the sleeves and hood keeps snow from getting in. I know this reply is super late, but I love my coat and the price is unbeatable.
The North Face has several good options. This for example, https://www.6pm.com/p/the-north-face-trevail-parka-ink-blue/product/8879988/color/121597.
I have last season's (or maybe even the previous season's) version of the Columbia Heavenly Long Hooded Jacket. The hood is great, it is quite warm, a good length on my 5'9″ frame and somewhat structured. Check their outlet too. I will post the link next.
i love these, but I still haven't figured out how to wear booties. I am petite and usually wear ankle length pants or skinny jeans. I know that you're supposed to keep a little separation between the pants and the booties, but I'm in DC and its pretty cold.
I wear regular socks and have the top of my jeans stop at the top of the bootie – there is no separation when I'm standing. If I'm sitting, you can see a little bit of the socks. This requires me to fold the hem underneath on my jeans. I don't like the cuffed look or having my pants scrunched up at the bottom. I could get my jeans hemmed for booties, but folding works for me now.
I like how Jean from Extra Petite styles her jeans and booties.
I also found this video helpful.
J Crew has 40% off full price now – does anyone know if they will have a bigger sale on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Probably, right?
Thank you to everyone this morning for your thoughtful advice. I have definitely thought long and hard about biological kids or a family with my boyfriend and his kids. I read the Dear Sugar advice column about "The ghost ship that didn't carry us" to help think through this decision, and I think recognizing that either choice leads to some loss gives me comfort in making the decision. I'll definitely be talking with him about my feelings and thoughts.
I'm attending a wedding in Tuscon the weekend before Christmas, attire is listed as "formal." Anyone want to help with some vicarious shopping? I think what's throwing me off is that the weather might be much warmer than I'm used to for December weather!
Help me out here. I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but yesterday I applied for a job that seemed interesting. The job listing says "salary commensurate with experience" and I'm on the high side of experience for the job. Today I checked Glassdoor (stupid not to do it earlier, I know). If it's accurate, the money is just too low for me to work it out. So it's probably a no-go. But what do I do if they call me for an interview? Do I accept and worry about the money later, try to get a sense of the salary range, or just turn it down? Apparently it's an intense interview process with a written test and an oral argument (also per Glassdoor).
I wouldn't put too much weight on salary info from Glassdoor. It can be very misleading. Just continue with the application and interview process.
+1 the Glassdoor reviews for the company I work for sound like they're for another company altogether, certainly nothing like my experience here. It's almost like a competitor placed the reviews, which may actually be the case. Ignore Glassdoor.
Glassdoor is extremely inaccurate for my salary and position at my current company. Feel free to start a conversation about the range they were considering at the end of the first phone screen or interview, then decide whether to proceed.
I received a promotion – yay! – and will be starting my new role in a couple weeks. It will include some of my old responsibilities, but I will be working with new people. What should I be doing during this transition?
CDC just issued a romaine recall – am I way behind or has this been developing?
Just had a Caesar salad for lunch. Yay me!
I missed the Thanksgiving horror stories this morning. I thought I'd share mine.
My dad died after a long illness a few months before the holiday. My mom in her grief was in the midst of getting into a bad rebound situation with a seriously icky man she worked with, and she invited him and his grown children to thanksgiving.
My siblings and I were also there, and my younger sister had just started dating a trust fund baby, whom she was nervous about introducing to our lower middle class family, but she invited him to thanksgiving anyway because he would otherwise have been alone. She didn't know my mom's icky guy friend and his kids would be there.
Icky guy started immediately talking politics and then taking jabs at all the liberals and f*gs in San Francisco, where my sister, the trust fund baby, and I all lived. Icky guy's son showed up late with a girlfriend he hadn't mentioned, they were high AF, she was missing a front tooth (recent or not? We don't know) and they kept leaving the meal to "have a smoke" (i.e. fix, methamphetamine), while icky guy's adult daughter and mom of three little ones screamed constantly at her kids to shut the f up or she'd hit them.
My sister's face, in front of her fancy date, is something I will never forget.
Because we like to make our mistakes permanently in my family, both my mom and my sister ended up marrying, then later divorcing, their dates for the dinner.
This…is…amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, indeed! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That is a good one. Thanks for sharing!!
We want to plan last minute winter vacation – flying out of Sfo – family of 5 for about 4 nights in December after Christmas. Kids are 18, 16,14. No one can agree on what we want but they seem to want snow so considering Colorado (we have done Tahoe and Yosemite many times). But every where I look is sold out or super expensive.
I would prefer somewhere with some culture or good hiking and good food such as Mexico or Arizona but again everything is sold out or $1k per night.
Since we are big family of spend up to $500 per night for lodging but we need space for all of us.
I don't know that last minute + not $$$ + Christmas week can all fit together into one trip. Maybe consider somewhere you can drive, to put your money into lodging and entertainment? I know my family looked at a trip to Costa Rica for that week earlier this year, and the cost was prohibitive for us.

When she talks about that summer of 1962 when headlines worldwide were howling about her, Sherri Chessen refers to herself as "Miss Sherri." That was the way she was known to the thousands of children who recited their Do Bees and Don't Bees as they watched her on the Scottsdale, Ariz., edition of Romper Room, the nationally syndicated television show.
Off screen in 1962, this 30-year-old mother of four was something of a Miss Sherri, too: perky and naive. Believing her identity would be kept secret, she said, she told a reporter from The Arizona Republic that a tranquilizer she had taken, thalidomide, would probably cause the child she was expecting to be born with severe deformities. She said she meant only to warn others about the drug.
"A Private Matter," an HBO film directed by Joan Micklin Silver that will have its premiere at 8 P.M. on Saturday, examines this excruciating summer in the lives of Sherri Chessen (Sissy Spacek), then known as Sherri Finkbine, and her family (featuring Aidan Quinn as her husband, Bob, and Estelle Parsons as her mother). It also looks at an era when abortion was considered scandalous and was permitted in Arizona only if the mother's physical or mental health was deemed fragile, and even then performed by physicians in secrecy.
Before the news broke, arrangements for her abortion at a local hospital had been quietly made. But during a legal challenge to the case, her name was revealed, and a judge determined that while the doctors could go ahead with the procedure, they would be vulnerable to lawsuits. The hospital turned her down.
She was dismissed from her job, and her husband was suspended from his high school teaching post. Their children were hounded, anonymous death threats poured in by mail and telephone and the press swarmed around their home.
When she returned home, "I just wanted to be anonymous," said Ms. Chessen, a former college cheerleader who had always wanted to be in broadcasting. But she needed to work, she said. "A lot of people didn't know what to do with me," Ms. Chessen said. "I was labeled unfit to handle children." Eventually, she did win a 15-minute slot on a television talk show. In 1964, she became pregnant. "As soon as I started showing," she said, "I had to quit."
Ms. Chessen, who is now a 59-year-old mother of six and grandmother of four and who is living near Phoenix, still displays her much-vaunted sunniness, but underlying it, in the vernacular of her heyday, is one tough cookie. She and her husband were divorced in 1973, and she brought up their six children on her own. She moved the family to Southern California, where she sold real estate, and then returned to broadcasting, doing commercial voice-overs. In 1983, she returned to Arizona and tried to open a health spa. As she puts it, "We went for broke, and we made it," losing all her money in a bank involved in the savings-and-loan scandals.
For years, she said, she turned down the producers asking for the film rights to her story, because "I wasn't interested in turning myself into a sideshow," she said. She finally gave permission to Bill Pace and Ronnie D. Clemmer (who also produced the forthcoming "A League of Their Own," a film about an all-women's baseball team).
"They offered a humane look at what happened," she said. "I didn't want it to be a pro-choice piece per se, but told in such a way that the pro-life people could say, 'I still don't agree with what she did, but look at what she had to go through; what can we do to resolve this?' "
She has written several children's books, as yet unpublished, and has been working on seminars about fetal health care. Her partner is her husband of one year, an obstetrician and gynecologist who happened to practice in the Scottsdale hospital that turned her down for the abortion 30 years ago. He had been next in line to perform the abortion if her own doctor had abandoned her and the hospital had instead supported her decision, she said.
She is bracing herself for the debut of the film, she says, which has revived the bad memories. Nonetheless, she says she likes what she sees. "I'm very proud of it," she said. "It's about the coming of age of Miss Sherri, when she realizes she can do something for herself, to be the center of her own universe."
Ms. Chessen praises Sissy Spacek's portrayal of her, calling it a veritable "cloning." But the former Romper Room host has one cavil. During the scene in which the Scottsdale hospital administrator gives her the news that she cannot have the abortion performed at that hospital, Ms. Chessen, sounding just like a proper Do Bee, notes, "Sissy was snippy to the hospital supervisor, and I think she should have said, 'Thank you for trying.' "

Managing Partner Bootcamp
Digital Deep Dive Summit 2022
By David Toth | April 20, 2022
At Winding River Consulting, we are always looking for fresh ways to equip and inspire managing partners, growth leaders, and leadership teams to leverage the latest in technology, strategy and tactics to grow their accounting firms. Digital Deep Dive Summit represents the best of decades of experience in this space, and the 2022 inaugural gathering was truly memorable.
What is Digital Deep Dive?
Led by Gary Shamis, David Toth, and the rest of the team at Winding River Consulting, Digital Deep Dive 2022 was attended by 25 of the nation's accounting firm leaders and industry influencers. The emphasis was on engagement, peer-to-peer learning, networking, and brainstorming. Attendees came away from the two-day event invigorated and primed with ideas to propel their organization's into greater success.
Key Takeaways of Digital Deep Dive 2022
Rather than just abstractions, the Summit's aim is to go deep into the world of digital. We heard from business leaders that have used digital strategy alone to grow their business by 10x in the short-term and are continuing an ambitious strategy with a sure trajectory for long-term viability. These leaders came both from inside and outside the accounting industry, which underscores the necessity for digital transformation across contexts.
Attendees also were given the opportunity to dive deep into the nuances of data-driven tactical execution; hearing from thought leaders from highly respected organizations.
Here's what we covered.
David Toth: What are the Top Challenges Facing Accounting Firm Marketing Teams?
Day one began with an open discussion among Chief Marketing Officers and other company leaders in the accounting profession. We arrived at consensus on the top challenges we all face to growth, which include:
Not enough time to plan, educate, execute, etc.
Establishing the right priorities
CRM and data management
A balance of change management priorities
Alignment on what growth means, within the organization and with leadership
Reaching targets and merging traditional marketing methods with new ones
Using data in the right way
Finding capacity
There was a widespread conclusion that the foundation to doing digital right is strategy and leadership integration.
Digital Discover Directional Scorecard
David led attendees through a brand new self-measurement tool to rate themselves on digital adoption. In terms of strategy, execution, results, technology, and resources, these marketing leaders were able to pinpoint their current level, and use that as a catalyst to reflect on areas of improvement vital for growth.
These two exercises informed a final discussion, as the group assessed their own scores and used that data to begin assembling a roadmap for improvement.
Gary Shamis, M.Acc.: Where are We Going? An Accounting Industry Outlook
The accounting industry is facing change, and those changes are coming fast. We predict that 60% of the workforce will remain the same, but as much as 25% will be an alternative workforce. Additionally, as much as 15% of current tasks may be taken over by technology.
Emerging technologies — including blockchain, AI, and robotics — are at the forefront of the digital revolution, and accounting firms are facing an invitation for early adoption that could make or break market positioning in the coming years.
For both human capital and technology, timing is critical.
As Jeff Bezos put it, "What's dangerous is not to evolve."
Accounting firms have three options to facilitate change:
New priorities need to include diversity and inclusion, innovation, a growth strategy, and strategic use of private equity.
The "how" for all of these was skillfully delineated in Gary's presentation at the Summit.
Gale Crosley, Gary Shamis, David Toth, Tim Keith, Eric Majchrzek: Roundtable Discussion
Attendees were given an opportunity to "Ask the Experts," in a panel-style roundtable discussion with Gary Shamis; Gale Crosley, CPA, CGMA; and David Toth. They covered everything from managing capacity, to tactical implementation of data-driven KPIs, building niche-specific campaigns, and further nurturing buy-in from key stakeholders.
Eric Majchrzak, CEO: the Marketing and Leadership Alliance
Eric Majchrzak is the CEO of BeachFleischman PLLC and the only CEO of an accounting firm to ever come from a marketing background. In his presentation on day two of the Digital Deep Dive Summit, Eric illustrated his experience and success gaining buy-in from key stakeholders, and laid out how he set a digital strategy that got results. He reiterated the theme that marketing and websites can and should be viewed as one giant rainmaker for the firm. To get there, marketing and leadership must align on the purpose, mission, vision, and strategic plan.
Eric laid out the 7 Ps of the Marketing Mix, explaining how these are the cornerstone to accomplish more through accounting firm marketing. He then took attendees through a matrix to evaluate a firm's marketing and leadership alignment, explaining this is the way to execute without interference.
This led into a second roundtable discussion with Eric and other experts to brainstorm together how to overcome the challenges that had been discussed on day one.
Marketing and Leadership Alignment Scorecard
Because this is such a salient point of consideration, Eric then led attendees through an in-depth discussion on what alignment looks like, based on 5 different elements.
Of course, current digital strength is a vital point of assessment to create a relevant strategy.
Show and Tell: Aaron Minc and Brandon Hall
Aaron Minc, Principal at Minc Law, and Brandon Hall, Managing Partner at Hall CPA, presented an engaging session showing and telling attendees how they've grown their hugely successful businesses using digital tactics.
Brandon shared his Top 5 Pillars of Growth, and Aaron described his use of video, home-grown content marketing, and live chat to generate an ever-increasing number of qualified leads.
Digital Deep Dive Summit by WRC
Digital Deep Dive was a great time of connection and collaboration. However, every attendee left feeling they wanted more frequent interactions than an annual Summit. Plans are to hold frequent webinars and virtual sessions year-round with this group to catalyze the implementation of the work that began at the Summit.

Carlsbad Lightning and Carlsbad Wave Merge
Diane Scavuzzo December 13, 2013 0 0
Carlsbad Lightning and Carlsbad Wave Announce Merger to Form Carlsbad United FC
As the landscape of youth soccer is constantly in flux, a significant change has emerged in the Southern California youth soccer market. On Wednesday evening, December 11, Carlsbad Lightning (CLSC) and Carlsbad Wave (CW) successfully merged. This was not a merger out of need but desire to build a strong youth soccer club to serve every player in their community and surrounding areas. Following a favorable member vote from both clubs, Carlsbad Lightning and Carlsbad Wave have now become Carlsbad United F.C. with an impressive tally of over 4300 players (including recreational) and nearly 100 competitive teams.
In today's highly competitive world, this has been an unusual coming together of like minds realizing that together they can accomplish more. It has been a merger of equals, with both clubs splitting the Board of Directors roles right down the middle. Because of the growing needs of the two clubs, the merger was seen as the best way to leverage resources in San Diego's coastal North County region. The upside is that this merger provides the new club with a more efficient and cost-effective strategy for growth and development which will benefit all its players and coaches.
"Our goal as a club has always been the continued development of programs that enable opportunities for players at all levels of the game," commented Lightning President and now Carlsbad United Co-President Tawnya Clark, "and with this merger we believe that will only continue to expand. We also have a strong focus on this being a 'community club' and will endeavor to keep the family feel that both Wave and Lightning have maintained over the years. We are very excited about the future of Carlsbad United."
"I am delighted at the opportunity this brings for all soccer players, parents, and coaches in Carlsbad," said Wave Director and now Carlsbad United Technical Director Steve Cowell. "Combining all the resources available to us will help us achieve soccer excellence at the local, regional, and national level, and will provide a home for every player in Carlsbad to play soccer regardless of their level of play."
"These are exciting times for us all," added CLSC DOC and now Carlsbad United's Director of Operations Michael Duggan. "Over the past 15 years Lightning have reached lots of milestones. We started as Leucadia Lighting, graduated to Carlsbad Lightning, then introduced the Carlsbad Elite Program and our now very successful College Showcase in the November Nights."
"Every year our program has grown, both recreationally and competitively," Duggan continued. "This next journey will be just as exciting but more importantly the rewards will benefit the entire soccer community of Carlsbad. I look forward to working together with everyone involved."
"As a club it would have been easy to carry on with what we were doing but as directors we have always felt the need to improve and better ourselves and the program," stated Boys Director Glenn Malone. "As directors we would like to take this opportunity to thank all the board members and volunteers for not only all their hard work but their support in sharing our vision for the future of soccer in Carlsbad. A special thanks to Rick Kreysar who was the lead man in putting all the pieces together and pushing us over the line!"
Carlsbad United will have a new soccer curriculum and player development program and will also be assigning specific coaches to oversee different development age ranges. The BU7-U9 age range will be overseen by Phil Shuttleworth. The new combined club has a total of 60 competitive coaches with 96 competitive teams; 48 each on boys and girls side.

Snowflake Pops in 'Largest Ever' Software IPO
(rblfmr/Shutterstock)
Snowflake's stock more than doubled today during its initial public offering, and the volatility was so great that stock market officials briefly halted trading in what the mainstream press is calling the largest ever IPO for a software company.
The fact that Snowflake is not a software company but a cloud services company would seem to make little difference to investors who racked up a big gains with the new equity, which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol SNOW.
The San Mateo, California-based company elected to price its stock debut at $120 per share, which was significantly higher than the $75 to $85 per share range that it proposed last week, according to a story on CNBC. The company planned to sell 28 million shares priced at $120 apiece, raising $3.4 billion and valuing it at over $33 billion.
When shares actually started trading this morning, SNOW was offered at $245, more than double the original offering price. The stock quickly surged to over $300 per share, and seesawed a bit, causing NYSE officials to briefly halt trading. Toward the end of the trading session, it settled down in the $250 range.
At $245 per share, the company was worth nearly $68 billion, considerably larger than the $12.4 billion valuation Snowflake had earlier this year. The valuation doesn't reflect the company's current earnings ($418 million in revenue over the past four quarters, according to its S-1 form) but more the rapid growth that the company is experiencing. It doubled the size of its customer base, from 1,550 in July 2019 to 3,100 in July 2020. Investors clearly see the potential for even faster growth in the months and years to come.
Frank Slootman, who took over as Snowflake's CEO last year after Bob Muglia's departure, downplayed any irrational exuberance that might be exhibited over the IPO. "A stock is worth exactly what somebody wants to pay for it," Slootman told CNBC before trading started today. "It's like talking about the weather. It is what it is."
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman can make it snow
Snowflake is riding the general surge in cloud computing that has become an avalanche under the COVID-19 lockdown. With its ability to run on all three public clouds, Snowflake is seen by some as a better place to warehouse business data than the RedShift, Synapse Analytics, and BigQuery offerings from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, respectively.
The company's successful IPO was heralded by its ecosystem partners as a validation of the cloud model and Snowflake's approach to democratizing access to complex big data tech.
"Snowflake's IPO marks a turning point for cloud and data technology," said Sean Knapp, the founder and CEO of Ascend.io, which automates data engineering. "While we've seen a handful of other cloud-native data platforms such as Datadog and Sumo Logic demonstrate incredible growth, none have done so as remarkably as Snowflake." (Sumo Logic's IPO is tomorrow, by the way.)
"With its historic IPO, Snowflake has created a new standard for what a SaaS company can achieve, as well as set the bar for future startups and their trajectory to fundraising, valuation, and business growth," said Rick Farnell, CEO of Protegrity, a data security solutions provider. "While the concept of the data warehouse is not new, Snowflake's success is in simplifying the set-up, use, and management of a data warehouse built from the ground up, specifically for modern cloud environments."
"Snowflake took the cloud playbook, rewrote it and won," said Poojan Kumar, CEO and co-founder of Clumio, a provider of enterprise backup offerings. "The company is a prime example of how a modern, forward-thinking organization, built from the cloud up, should evolve."
"We're excited for Snowflake's IPO," said Raj Verma, the co-CEO of MemSQL, a NewSQL database vendor. "This an exhilarating time for the database industry. As this IPO demonstrates, if a company has great technology and executes well, good things happen. More importantly, this development underscores a significant change in thinking about the increasing importance of the database market. Data has never been more important than it is right now."
"Snowflake empowers enterprises to easily and quickly compete with data," said Matthew Scullion, the CEO and co-founder of Matillion, a data integration provider. "Their cloud-native architecture and ability to deliver accelerated time to value at scale and volume, across any use case, has driven their incredible growth."
Last week, Snowflake announced that Salesforce and Berkshire Hathaway would each buy $250 million in Snowflake stock in a private placement following the IPO.

Common girls and empanadas
Common girls and empanadas (or flash pies).
It's my day off. I slept late and followed the RoguePOTUS twitter account from my surface pro in bed. I need weaning from this addiction. Lies, lies and more lies from the realDonaldTrump. How very unreal. So, what nicer than to meet a friend for coffee late morning. I could offload about vertigo to a sympathetic ear, sip my soy latte, and chill in the company of real friendship.
On the way home, I realise, after all that talking, I need food, so I slip into a local café and queue. Behind me in the queue is a woman of a similar age to myself. I hear her asking me in a loud voice.
'Were you a ballet dancer? I'm only asking because of the way you are standing with your toes pointing.'
I'm flattered of course. I'd always wanted to be a ballet dancer. I turn towards her and say 'No, I was a marching girl.'
And, predictably (to me anyway), she responds, 'Oh, I always wanted to be a marching girl, but my mother wouldn't let me.' She goes on 'My mother told me only common girls marched.'
I've heard this many times before. It's a middle-class cliche. It's said with total recognition of the snobbery it implies and yet gives an authority to the very same thing.
'Yes, that's me, I was a common girl,' I say loudly but laughing too at her and myself. Then shamelessly, I go on…'There's a book called About turns written on this very topic. It's about marching girls and book clubs… are you a reader?'
'Yes, I read…. Can I get it from the local library?'
'Yes,' I said, 'You can. I wrote this novel.'
'What's your name?'
'Maggie Rainey-Smith'.
There's a chuckle from her friend, who says they will remember it, after all, Maggie Smith is hard to forget.
And then we view the food cabinet together like old friends. The woman whose mother said only common girls were marchers invites me into their conversation about the food in the cabinet. We're all looking now at a filled roll really but they want to know how one should say 'Brie and Cranberry Pide' – was it Peed or was it Pied? We all agree, it looks very much like a Panini and wonder why it is called a Pide. I never do get to hear how to say it because out from the kitchen, steaming and fresh from the oven, comes a plate of Empanadas… looking exactly like a pie or Cornish pastie.
'Yum,' I say, loudly, possibly too loudly, possibly overly self consciously and mischievously. 'I'll have the pie. We common girls love pies.'
Unperturbed, my new friend asks if I am still marching and I laugh and explain that no, I'm not. And here I have to check myself for my own snobbery, as goodness me, of course I'm not! Hoist on my own petard so to speak.
My new friend confides…She recently saw a group of older women who were still marching and goodness she tells me confident I will laugh… they were so fat… she jokes that she thought they ought to be marching faster. Followed by a hearty chuckle (both of us – for what else should I do with a new-found friend from the queue by the food cabinet).
I do hope my new friend manages to find the novel About turns in the local library… and that the Librarian realises Maggie Smith didn't write About turns…. but I do fear, that all those clichés that I tried to gently nudge when writing the novel, might very well float right over my new-found friend's head.
Questions about Appropriation – My Greek Novel (The right to write fiction)
It wasn't until days before the final print run of my Greek novel that any sense of audacity crept in. Up until that moment, I'd been so focussed on the story, certain of it in the way that only an author can be when in the grip of writing fiction. My novel took seven years to be ready and to find the right publisher. The writing of it, the revising of it and finding a publisher, consumed me as a writer. I believed in the story. But now my book is out and about, it's not doubt that grips me, but the realisation of what I've done. You see, I don't speak Greek. Yes, I travelled to Greece for three months in 2007 to do my research. I was fortunate. There I was, a woman of a certain age, alone in a foreign city, seeking stories from the locals about the Greek Civil War. It's only now in hindsight that I can see with clarity, the audacity of this venture. I met with resistance as you can imagine and then too through circumstance and happenstance, I stumbled on opportunities, including an extraordinary invitation to the home of Sir Patrick Leigh Fermor on the Mani, to celebrate his Name Day, in November that year.
Why did a Kiwi author want to write about the Greek Civil War? It started with my father. He was a lad from Kaikoura who ended up on Crete with the 22nd Battalion during the Second World War. I've written an essay about this in Landfall. In the 1980's the Greek Government offered a Greek Medal to Kiwi veterans still living. My Dad was still alive and with the help of my Greek friend Maria I applied for his medal. At that stage I had a young family and we'd just moved next door to Maria. I had no idea of her own amazing journey from Kalamata to Wellington during the 60's but I was eventually to find out.I'm a writer, so what did I do? I realised very few people knew about the journey of the young Greek girls (most of them from Crete), to New Zealand in the sixties, as part of a special scheme between the two Governments. The girls had to be under 30, unmarried and work in the hospitality industry. The established local Greek community were less than impressed with this sudden influx – the thought of any scandal.And so, using my imagination, I began to weave a fictional account of a young woman who leaves Greece to live on the other side of the world. I'm a baby boomer, born in 1950, only five years after the end of the Second World War. It's only now that I recognise the very proximity of that war to my own parents' lives at the time I was born. Back then, 'the war' seemed like a very distant affair. I began to imagine what impact not just the Second World War, but the ongoing Greek Civil War might have had on the lives of some of these young women. My story is purely and simply imagined. It is not any one girl's particular story. Through research and reading, I've woven a story which at the heart is a mother and daughter story. It is a story of immigration. It is a story of war and its aftermath.
My local Greek friends have embraced my story and I am grateful. I've had generous feedback. The novel has had very good reviews so far. While writing this novel, I had so much help from the Greek community. My intention was to bring the story of these brave young women to the fore, to honour them and to re-imagine the possible circumstances that might have propelled them to travel so far from home. And yes, it is only now, that my novel is out and about, that any sense of doubt has arisen, that a writer who doesn't speak Greek, has dared to write a Greek-Kiwi novel. Did I have the right? Have I got it right? Who has the right to write a story? During the editing process, one of the super smart young editors working at Whitireia made the observation that I needed to be careful with the use of the Greek language, the insertion of Greek phrases, lest I strayed into the territory of 'exoticising', and thus undermining the integrity of the story.
I recall my book group, reading Alex Miller's 'Lovesong', a story I loved. Two of my book club friends were unhappy that within the story, two male characters had appropriated the story of the main character, a woman from Tunisia. Not that the author had written about a woman from Tunisia, but that he'd allowed two male characters to tell her story.
My second novel 'Turbulence' was about a middle-aged man from the suburb of Lower Hutt. He worked in manufacturing. He was a stepfather in a new relationship, with a broken marriage, the result of his child who had died in a tragic accident in his driveway with him at the wheel. Did I know this man? I knew aspects of him, but he is a fictional character. I had worked in recruitment for many years in the Hutt Valley and so I felt I knew this man, an ordinary man, the sort of man who doesn't always make it into fiction – not an artist, a doctor, a lawyer, but something rather more ordinary – a man running a factory.Did I have the right to write with the voice of a man? It never occurred to me that I didn't. And I was heartened by the first review on Radio NZ by John McCrystal who felt I'd nailed it. Unfortunately, the ensuing reviews from two younger, academic women, did not concur. We bring to our reading our own experiences. Many of my women friends didn't enjoy 'Turbulence', but almost all my men friends did.
My first novel ' About turns' was about book clubs and marching girls. This is territory that I know well. It was about a sixties working-class childhood. Yes, I mined my own experiences and many people who'd known me during my childhood claimed to recognise characters. But the book was also about a transgender character, female to male. Did I have the right? This book is fiction with experiences rendered to represent truths, both my own and other peoples.
I won't have got everything right in my Greek novel in spite of all the support from native Greek speakers and spouses of native Greek speakers. But I'm hopeful that being an outsider, has enabled me to write with a different sort of clarity, that of the observer. But this begs the question. Did I have the right to appropriate a foreign language, to use it and many of its sayings, without being a speaker of that language? All the mistakes (if there are any and there must be) of history, time, place, language and ideas of what it is to be Greek, and how to express this, are entirely mine.

Assault by Russian scouts on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Vogledar was caught on video footage
The Russian military showed video footage of the assault on Ukrainian positions in the area of Vuhledar.
Video footage of a heated assault on the positions of the Ukrainian military in the area of Vuhledar by Russian units using unmanned aerial vehicles was published against the backdrop of the fact that the Russian army came close to storming Vuhledar.
On the video footage you can see the line of defense of the Ukrainian military. The latter has absolutely no disguise and therefore was successfully discovered by Russian intelligence officers, after which it was stormed using drones. Due to the openness of the fortifications, there were virtually no problems with the delivery of ammunition to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which can be seen on the corresponding video frames.
At the same time, experts draw attention to the fact that despite the rather large fortified area, the number of Ukrainian military personnel present here is very limited. This is due either to the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or emphasizes a clear shortage of military personnel in the ranks of the Ukrainian army.

Amber is a fossilized tree resin over 40 million years old. Amber was one of the first Gems used in amulets throughout Asia. It can be brown, orange, yellow, green or red and may contain bits of debris from the bark of ancient pine trees. With some Amber you may see little insects trapped in the Amber while it started as a tree resin, this gives the Amber stone quite powerful magical properties.

Liam Gallagher now warms up before shows
Liam Gallagher says cancelling gigs is like ''getting your d**k cut off'' and admits he now warms up to prevent his voice from being overstretched.
by : Elle Canada- Sep 27th, 2011
Liam Gallagher says cancelling gigs is like "getting your d**k cut off".
The Beady Eye rocker says he has learned to take more care of his voice as he has gotten older because he hates having to pull out of a performance because he has strained it.
He said: "I remember having a chat with The Who singer Roger Daltrey and he was like, 'You should warm up.' I was like, 'F**k that' because I was young and like, 'I'm not doing any of that nonsense.'
"But, y'know, the years go by, I've had to bite my tongue a bit and go, 'You've got to warm up.'
"It's like getting your d**k cut off when you've got to cancel a gig because your voice goes. It's like the heaviest thing in the world. But warm up a bit, that's the best bit of advice I've ever had."
While Liam was happy to take on Roger's tips, he admits he refused to listen when U2 frontman Bono tried to speak to him.
He told Q magazine: "Bono might have tried to give me advice but I was probably not listening. I do my own thing, man."

Syria (Al-Jumūhrīyā al-'Arabīya as-Sūrīyā) is a presidential republic of the Middle East. This battered territory borders Turkey to the north, Iraq to the east and southeast, Jordan to the south, Lebanon and Israel to the southwest, and is washed by the Mediterranean Sea to the west. The most important city is the capital Damascus, other cities are Aleppo, Homs, Latakia and Hama.
Syria territory is formed for the most part by an arid plateau that extends towards the east, stopped in the northeast from the fertile region of Al-Jazira (Mesopotamia), a vast cultivated plains where flows the Euphrates river, while to the south-east lies the vast Syriac desert.
To the west the coastline is occupied by a narrow flat area and by the mountains of Jabal an Nusayriyah that run parallel to the coast until the border with Lebanon. Here is the tectonic depression of Al Ghab, a fertile irrigated area crossed by the Orontes river.
The border with Lebanon is marked by Anti-Lebanon mountains, where is the highest peak in the country, Mount Hermon (Jabal ash Shaykh, 2,814 meters) here in south-west lies the Hawran (Hauran ) region, an important agricultural area and on the border with Israel is the hilly region of the Golan Heights.
A TERRITORY CRADLE OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
The main rivers of the country are the Euphrates, which flows in the north-eastern part of the country for almost 700 km. The Orontes that cross the western part of the country from north to south touching the cities of Homs and Hama. The Tigris, which marks the border with Turkey for a short distance in the far north-east.
Syria's economy is based on agriculture. Wheat, barley, vegetables, tobacco, potatoes, grapes, olives, cotton, fruit, citrus are grown. Breeding (sheep, goat, cattle) and crafts (silk fabrics, rugs, brass, copper, silver objects) are also important economic activities.
Subsoil resources include oil, natural gas, phosphates, rock salt, chromium, manganese, iron and asbestos. The industry is based on the transformation of local agricultural products and on the textile sector. An important source of wealth was given by the tourism industry. With the current civil war, tourism has collapsed.

Beneath a fall of water and light, warm waves rock gently against the earth. Wings summons their soft dancing spirits with this cuff, hand-rolled and -milled of sterling silver ingot that shines like ripples on the surface of a quiet lake. The band is solid and substantial, milled to produce a crested wave down the center of its length, cradled gently by finer waves on either side. Its finish is buffed to a smooth texture and a soft polish just shy of Florentine. The band is 6.5″ long by 6/16″ wide (dimensions approximate).

Q: Calculating Cumulative sum in PySpark using Window Functions I have the following sample DataFrame:
rdd = sc.parallelize([(1,20), (2,30), (3,30)])
df2 = spark.createDataFrame(rdd, ["id", "duration"])
df2.show()

+---+--------+
| id|duration|
+---+--------+
|  1|      20|
|  2|      30|
|  3|      30|
+---+--------+

I want to sort this DataFrame in desc order of duration and add a new column which has the cumulative sum of the duration. So I did the following:
windowSpec = Window.orderBy(df2['duration'].desc())

df_cum_sum = df2.withColumn("duration_cum_sum", sum('duration').over(windowSpec))

df_cum_sum.show()

+---+--------+----------------+
| id|duration|duration_cum_sum|
+---+--------+----------------+
|  2|      30|              60|
|  3|      30|              60|
|  1|      20|              80|
+---+--------+----------------+

My desired output is:
+---+--------+----------------+
| id|duration|duration_cum_sum|
+---+--------+----------------+
|  2|      30|              30|
|  3|      30|              60|
|  1|      20|              80|
+---+--------+----------------+

How do I get this?
Here is the breakdown:
+--------+----------------+
|duration|duration_cum_sum|
+--------+----------------+
|      30|              30| #First value
|      30|              60| #Current duration + previous cum sum value
|      20|              80| #Current duration + previous cum sum value
+--------+----------------+

A: You can introduce the row_number to break the ties; If written in sql:
df2.selectExpr(
    "id", "duration",
    "sum(duration) over (order by row_number() over (order by duration desc)) as duration_cum_sum"
 ).show()

+---+--------+----------------+
| id|duration|duration_cum_sum|
+---+--------+----------------+
|  2|      30|              30|
|  3|      30|              60|
|  1|      20|              80|
+---+--------+----------------+

A: Here you can check this
df2.withColumn('cumu', F.sum('duration').over(Window.orderBy(F.col('duration').desc()).rowsBetween(Window.unboundedPreceding, 0)
)).show()
