GOP congressman apologizes to BP for '$20 billion shakedown'
UPDATE: Under fire from even members of his own party, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) retracted his apology to BP over President Barack Obama's insistence that the company set up a $20 billion escrow fund to pay damages related to the Gulf oil spill.
"I want to be absolutely clear that I think BP is responsible for this accident, should be held responsible and should in every way do everything possible to make good on the consequences that have resulted from this accident," Barton said Thursday, as quoted at CBS News. "And if anything I said this morning has been misconstrued to the opposite effect I want to apologize for that misconstrued misconstruction."
Following his statement earlier Thursday that the $20 billion fund amounted to a "shakedown" of BP, Barton found himself under attack not only from Vice-President Joe Biden and other Democrats, but from other Republicans as well. A Florida Republican has called for Barton to step down as the ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee.
A Republican lawmaker from a district affected by the oil spill called on Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) to step down as the ranking member of his committee.
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), whose Pensacola district is among the most affected areas in the Gulf by the oil spill, condemned Barton for apologizing to BP CEO Tony Hayward during a committee meeting on Thursday.
"I condemn Mr. Barton's statement. Mr. Barton's remarks are out of touch with this tragedy and I feel his comments call into question his judgment and ability to serve in a leadership on the Energy and Commerce Committee," Miller said in a statement. "He should step down as ranking member of the Committee."

We're sorry that the government wants to penalize you for creating the worst environmental disaster in the history of the United States, one Republican congressman has suggested to BP.
During a hearing of the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Thursday, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) called the $20 billion escrow fund that BP has promised to establish a "shakedown" and apologized to BP Tony Hayward.
"I'm speaking totally for myself and I'm not speaking for the Republican Party and I'm not speaking for anybody in the House of Representatives but myself, but I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday," Barton began.
"I think it's a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown," he continued, "in this case, a $20 billion shakedown with the Attorney General of the United States — who is legitimately conducting a criminal investigation and has every right to do so to protect the interests of the American people — participating in what amounts to a $20 billion slush fund that's unprecedented in our nation's history, that's got no legal standing, and that I think sets a terrible precedent for the future."
"I'm only speaking for myself," Barton repeated. "I'm not speaking for anybody else, but I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong and is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize."
In a statement, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted Barton following the hearing:
What is shameful is that Joe Barton seems to have more concern for big corporations that caused this disaster than the fishermen, small business owners and communities whose lives have been devastated by the destruction. Congressman Barton may think that a fund to compensate these Americans is a 'tragedy', but most Americans know that the real tragedy is what the men and women of the Gulf Coast are going through right now. Members from both parties should repudiate his comments.
Barton, who was chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee when the Republicans held a majority in the House and is now its ranking member, is well known for his close ties to the energy industry. According to OpenSecrets.org, over the course of his career Barton's top industry donor has been the oil and gas industry, for a total of nearly $1.5 million in contributions.
Barton has almost always stuck by his donors. A profile at Texans for Public Justice states, "Barton stuck provisions in the 2003 energy bill to give the Dallas-Fort Worth region more time to flunk clean-air standards. The bill failed because of another Barton-championed provision to shield the petrochemical industry from liability for the carcinogenic gasoline additive MTBE. … Westar Energy got Barton to insert special provisions into 2002 energy legislation to let Westar split off its regulated utility from its heavily indebted other businesses–a split that would facilitate saddling ratepayers with $1 billion Westar's non-utility debts."
Barton was also an early global warming skeptic. In July 2005, the Washington Post's David Ignatius commented, "I can't remember anything quite as nasty — or as politically skewed — as Rep. Joe Barton's recent attack on scientists whose views on global warming he doesn't like."
Barton had sent letters to three climate change scientists "demanding information about what he claimed were 'methodological flaws and data errors' in their studies of global warming." The bullying tone of these letters was so pronounced that even a fellow Republican who chaired the House Committee on Science cautioned, "My primary concern about your investigation is that its purpose seems to be to intimidate scientists rather than to learn from them, and to substitute Congressional political review for scientific peer review. This would be pernicious."

GOP congressman apologizes to BP for $20 billion 'shakedown'
Things aren't all bad for BP. CEO Tony Hayward appeared before a House Energy panel Thursday and at least one Republican congressman spoke up in his defense.
Rep. Joe Barton called the $20 billion trust fund a "shakedown" and apologized to the oil company.
"I'm speaking totally for myself and I'm not speaking for the Republican Party and I'm not speaking for anybody in the House of Representatives but myself, but I'm ashamed of what happened in the White House yesterday. I think it's a tragedy of the first proportion that a private corporation can be subjected to what I would characterize as a shakedown. In this case, a $20 billion shakedown with the Attorney General of the United States who is legitimately conducting a criminal investigation and has every right to do so to protect the interests of the American people participating in what amounts to a $20 billion slush fund that's unprecedented in our nation's history that's got no legal standing and what I think sets a terrible precedent for the future," said Barton.
"I'm only speaking for myself. I'm not speaking for anybody else, but I apologize. I do not want to live in a country where any time a citizen or a corporation does something that is legitimately wrong and is subject to some sort of political pressure that is, again, in my words, amounts to a shakedown. So I apologize," he said.
Popular Russia-based application FaceApp, which allows users to change their appearance to look older or younger, came under fire in the United States Wednesday, with one senator urging an FBI investigation.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called for the FBI and the FTC, the US consumer protection body, to "look into the national security & privacy risks" connected to FaceApp, which is used by millions of Americans but was developed by a Saint Petersburg-based company.
"FaceApp's location in Russia raises questions regarding how and when the company provides access to the data of U.S. citizens to third parties, including potentially foreign governments," the New York senator said in a letter to the FBI.

Google today officially announced the availability of its Google Play gift cards, which come in denominations of $10, $25, or $50.
Apple's iTunes gift cards are a perfect little present when you're stumped about what to get someone. But what if the person you're buying for doesn't have an iDevice, and instead prefers Android phones and tablets? Now you can get them a Google Play gift card.
Google today officially announced the availability of its Google Play gift cards, which come in denominations of $10, $25, or $50. The cards can be purchased from retailers GameStop, RadioShack, Target in the U.S.
Google said that the gift cards are currently making their way to retail stores, so if you're keen on getting one right away, it's best to call ahead an check on availability. There's no word yet about availability outside the U.S.
Recipients can use their gift card to purchase songs, movies, TV shows, e-books, Android apps, and games from the Google Play store. The gift cards can even be used to purchase in-app items like extra levels, add-on packs, and virtual currency.
But don't expect to use the card towards your purchase of the latest Android-powered smartphone. Google Play gift cards cannot be redeemed for hardware and accessory purchases, Android app subscriptions, or magazine subscriptions, Google said.
Google earlier this year added the ability for Nexus 7 buyers to keep a store balance, which sparked speculation that gift cards might be on the way. Then last week, even more evidence emerged that Google was prepping gift cards for its app store.
The Google Play store currently offers more than 500,000 Android games and apps.

An Act Updated
Who wants to read about FOI legislation? Yeah? Let's do this!
Province by Gregory Beatty
Saskatchewan Education minister Don Morgan was lampooned recently when he defended his own government's approach to funding education by trashing Roy Romanow's 1993 NDP government. Leader-Post columnist and Twitter comedian Murray Mandryk had a field day, tweeting numerous nostalgic references to 1993 including: "Hey, @SaskMLA! Guess what? The Montreal Canadiens just won the Stanley Cup!" and "Hey, @SaskMLA! Think that Internet thing they are about to invent will catch on?"
Yes, 1993 was a long time ago.
As it happens, that was the year Saskatchewan passed its second piece of privacy legislation. The Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LAFOIP) followed the 1992 privacy and information act (FOIP) that covered the provincial government, Crown corporations and related agencies.
LAFOIP brought city councils, school boards and other local authorities into the privacy fold.
A third privacy act covering the health sector (HIPA) was passed in 2003. There'd been a lot of changes in the intervening 10 years, including the emergence of "that Internet thing", so HIPA offered the government a chance to modernize its approach to privacy.
As for FOIP and LAFOIP, despite repeated pleadings by privacy commissioners, successive NDP and Saskatchewan Party governments declined to update them — until June 13, that is, when Justice minister Gordon Wyant introduced Bills 30 and 31 to amend FOIP and LAFOIP.
At a June 28 news conference presenting his 2015-16 annual report, Saskatchewan privacy commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski said he was pleased the government was updating the acts. "The first reason is because of the time since they were last amended, which is way too long for any legislation to not be looked at," said Kruzeniski. "Secondly, we made proposals, and a good number, but not all, have shown up in the proposed amendments."
Long Overdue
Maybe it's a remnant of Saskatchewan's old "party line" tradition where neighbours used to listen in on each other's calls on shared phone lines, but as a province, our privacy and access to information track record is not good.
Even Premier Brad Wall's office, if you recall, was implicated in a breach last summer when it released private information in an effort to discredit health-care worker Peter Bowden after he made allegations about poor care at a Saskatoon seniors' home.
And in early July, SaskPower revealed that it had fired an employee who snooped on the files of over 4,000 current and former employees.
The employee's motive, at this point, is unknown. But as technology continues to advance — permitting data crunching on a scale unimaginable a generation ago — information is becoming an increasingly valuable commodity.
Kruzeniski flagged several amendments as highlights in Bill 30 and 31, including a duty to assist.
"A public body has an obligation when an access request comes in to deal with it openly, accurately and completely," he said. "Other provinces have this duty, and I'm pleased to see it's there. My hope is that by public bodies communicating with those who request information that the issue gets solved so fewer people have to launch appeals with our office."
In 2015-16, Kruzeniski noted in his report, the Office of the Saskatchewan Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) handled 244 investigations. That's up from 182 in 2014-15, and 77 in 2011-12. So privacy is obviously a growing concern.
The amendments also introduce a duty for public bodies to report any breaches that occur so the affected party can take protective action, and broaden the definition of "employee" to include consultants and contractors who work for public bodies on service contracts.
Considering how much outsourcing there is these days, that's a no-brainer.
Police forces used to be exempt from the Act. Now? They'll also be brought under LAFOIP as "local authorities". And maximum penalties under both acts will be boosted from relative wrist slaps ($1,000 fine and three months in jail) to $50,000 and one year in jail.
Harsher penalties, said Kruzeniski, send a signal to public bodies about the need to take privacy seriously.
"On the other hand, the worry is if people get too fearful, then every time someone asks a question they might say, 'I'm sorry, I can't tell you. It's private.' When you look at [privacy], it's a real balancing act as to when they can release information and when they can't," he said.
"And they really need to know when they can and can't because that makes the system work."
Hits And Misses
In the wake of the Bowden scandal, where OIPC determined a privacy breach occurred but that it had no jurisdiction because the legislative branch of government wasn't subject to FOIP, the act will now apply to the premier's office, cabinet and all MLAs.
Bill Bonner, an associate professor at the University of Regina's Faculty of Business Administration, has an academic interest in privacy issues.
"I thought the proposals the commissioner submitted were well done," he says. "I'm curious, though, why the government chose to implement some of them but not others.
"They had to do something around cabinet ministers, because after the Bowden case they said they would. It was good, too, that they added police forces to LAFOIP," says Bonner.
But they left a whole bunch of proposals out, and I don't understand why."
One proposal the government failed to act on that caught Bowden's eye was privacy impact assessments.
"That puts the onus on an organization when it's proposing a system to assess what impact it will have on privacy and make adjustments to minimize the impact," says Bonner. "It needs to be part of the planning process from day one. It's cheaper for the organization that way too, because if you build it in, you don't have to go back and fix it later as that always costs more.
"Another thing I thought they missed was the fee estimate review. If you go to a public body and they tell you how much it's going to cost, there's no way to appeal the estimate to the privacy commissioner if you think it's too high. The commissioner proposed there be a review, so I don't know why that wasn't done."
That issue was in the news recently when the government gave CBC an outrageous $120,000 cost estimate to provide documents on Global Transportation Hub land acquisitions in Regina.
As part of the same kerfuffle, the premier declined to reveal details of a high-ball appraisal that informed the final GTH purchase price on the grounds of protecting the appraiser's privacy.
In his proposals, the privacy commissioner recommended a more nuanced approach to third-party exemptions. Unfortunately, says Bonner, the government failed to act.
"It can be used as a shield, but oftentimes the issue has nothing to do with privacy," he says.
"[The appraisal] was a commercial transaction. Privacy legislation was only ever intended for private citizens not private companies. They have trade secrets and whatnot, but if the government paid for an appraisal that was used in their decision-making process, it's public even though it was generated by a private company."
Bonner also thought that the commissioner's proposal to shorten response times on access requests from 30 to 20 days was reasonable in light of most documents being stored digitally these days instead of on paper. But the government kept the deadline at 30 days.
Slow SARM
In the Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner's annual report, Saskatchewan privacy commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski noted that while his office had engaged with many towns and cities — both individually and through the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association — they had made "no progress" with Saskatchewan's 296 rural municipalities in the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities.
"If you have a long list of goals you don't necessarily achieve them all," Kruzeniski said. "Then for the following year you say, 'I guess we have to try again.'
"If you look at Regina and Saskatoon, they have FOIP units that process access requests and they become very sophisticated. When you get into small villages and RMs, if they have part-time administrators, it's hard to get as familiar with the legislation.
"The same rules apply, though, and while they may only be exposed to one request a year, they still have to handle it as far as providing the proper information and knowing when they can claim an exemption and when they can't.
"A little more effort on our part to build connections and relationships, and a willingness on SARM's part to collaborate, would certainly start moving this in the right direction."
Other goals cited by Kruzeniski heading into 2016-17 include updating HIPA and developing training modules to give management and employees the skills they need to protect privacy in an increasingly menacing world of ransomware, identity theft and other cyber-threats.
That's an important initiative, says the University of Regina's Bill Bonner.
"You'll find that most breaches occur because some internal employee left something open," says Bonner. "It's not because they're evil, it's just they have access to the system and what hackers want is access to someone who has access to the system."
OIPC also advocates amalgamating FOIP and LAFOIP into a single piece of legislation, as most provinces have done, to clarify the law around privacy. Bonner supports that move, and would also like to see the government adopt OIPC's proposal that privacy legislation be reviewed every five years to ensure it remains current.
While Bonner supports the Bill 30 and 31 amendments, he thinks a broader review of privacy is warranted.
"When the government said it was going to review the legislation, I thought it would gather input from citizens. Because of the blowup between Bowden and Wall, they had to do something, and they did the minimum. But I'm not surprised, because in this province it's just not a priority." /Gregory Beatty

Velké Hůrky (, ) jsou vesnice v jižním Polsku ve Slezském vojvodství v okrese Těšín. Leží na území Těšínského Slezska v ústí údolí řeky Brennice a spolu s Brennou a Malými Hůrkami tvoří gminu Brenná. V květnu 2016 zde žilo 3 950 obyvatel, rozloha obce činí 14,67 km².

Dějiny a zámek
První zmínka o Hůrkách – Gorki villa vlodari – pochází z listiny biskupství vratislavského vydané mezi lety 1295 až 1305. Taková zmínka napovídá, že se jednalo o část původně jedné vesnice předané v té době do rukou nějakého rytíře. Velké Hůrky byly tedy rytířskou vesnicí oproti Malým Hůrkám, které zůstaly v majetku těšínských knížat. Od roku 1417 byla majiteli Hůrek rodina Pięćlat (Pětlet), potom Ramsza (1447–1521), Gurečtí z Kornic (1521–1697), Bludovští z Bludovic (1697–1734) a Marklovští (1734–1802). Ti poslední prodali vesnici v roce 1802 knížeti Albertovi Sasko-Těšínskému. V roce 1920 byly Velké Hůrky spolu s celým východním Těšínském rozhodnutím Konference velvyslanců připojeny k Polsku.

Za vlády prvních Marklovských byla dřevěná usedlost na severozápadním okraji vesnice, v části zvané Sojka, nahrazena zděným barokním zámkem, který v roce 1922 koupil do vlastnictví Tadeusz Kossak, dvojče slavného polského malíře Wojciecha Kossaka. Spolu s otcem se zde usadila jeho dcera, známá spisovatelka a později i odbojářka, spoluzakladatelka Rady pomoci Židům, Zofia Kossak-Szczucka. V té době se Velké Hůrky staly cílem návštěv mnoha osobností tehdejšího polského kulturního života (např. Witkacého, Wańkowicze nebo Marii Dąbrowské).

V květnu 1945 byl hůrecký zámek podpálen a téměř úplně zničen. Později nedošlo k jeho obnově a po desetiletí existoval jako zřícenina. V roce 2010 došlo na podnět Kossakiny vnučky, Anny Fenby Taylorové, k rekonstrukci středního křídla zámku, zatímco boční části byly ponechány ve formě zříceniny. Od roku 2011 sídlí v zámeckých prostorách Kulturní a umělecké centrum "Kossakův zámek" (Centrum Kultury i Sztuki "Dwór Kossaków"). Samotná Kossak-Szczucka bydlela po návratu z emigrace v roce 1957 v tzv. domku zahradníka, kde bylo po její smrti (1968) zřízeno muzeum. Je pohřbena na místním katolickém hřbitově.

Bucze
V severní části obce se nachází kupolovitý kopec Bucze (417 m), na jehož svazích pramení řeka Jilovnice. Na Buczi byla kvůli jeho přírodním hodnotám – mj. velké populaci vstavačů bledých a výskytu hvězdnatce zubatého – vytyčena šestidílná naučná stezka.

V roce 1931 byla na Buczi založena Svazem polského skautingu (Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego, ZHP) Škola pro skautské instruktory a v osadě Sojka u zámku Škola sociální práce.

Po válce byly skautské objekty zabaveny pro zdravotnické účely a byla do nich umístěna dětská sanatoria specializovaná na léčbu tuberkulózy a plicních chorob, která se stala součástí Beskydského léčebného a rehabilitačního ústavu v Javoří. Sanatorium Sojka bylo likvidováno v roce 1999, zatímco Bucze působí od roku 2000 jako samostatný Léčebný a rehabilitační ústav "Bucze".

Kostely a netopýři
Památkou Velkých Hůrek je kromě zámku gotický katolický kostel Všech svatých postavený v 15. století a později dvakrát přestavovaný (roku 1662 a v 19. století). U kostela jsou šlechtické náhrobky s českými epitafy. Více než svou architekturou je však proslulý tím, že jeho půda je jedinečným stanovištěm netopýrů. Přebývá zde skupina asi 190 netopýrů velkých a 75 vrápenců malých. Pro jejich zachránu byl kostel spolu se svým nejbližším okolím začleněn do soustavy Natura 2000 jako evropsky významná lokalita s názvem Kostel ve Velkých Hůrkách.

V obci se nacházejí ještě dva další kostely: evangelický na Kempce Prochaskové (původně kaple z roku 1908, přestavěný 1984) a klášterní kostel sv. Jana Sarkandera ve františkánském klášteře na Sojce u zámku založený roku 1990.

Q: S3 data transfer from one account to another I might be asking this again but need some help guys ,
I have a s3 bucket details from a client (Have the userID,Password,Access Key, Secret key ) . I have been asked to get all the data in there into our S3 bucket.
There seems to be a lot of data around how it can be done . But the problem for me is I don't have access to change any policy or anything from my end. I have a s3 bucket and a ec2 machine. Please guide me how I get this data from the above information to my s3 bucket

A: If you have aws-cli , then you can list all files using
aws s3 ls s3://your-bucket-name

and copy files from one bucket to another using
aws s3 sync s3://source-bucket s3://target-bucket

Thanks

A: You may also use
s3cmd cp s3://source-bucket/ s3://target-bucket/

or if your buckets are in different region, you may enable Cross-region replication from the source bucket and specify your bucket as the target bucket.

Also, Important points to note when using cross-region replication are:

*

*Versioning of the bucket should be enabled.

*Versioning of both source and target bucket should be enabled.

*This feature will only copy the new or updated files between the source and target bucket. If there is any existing file already in place between source and target bucket, it will not be synced.
If you still need that file to be copied again from the source to target bucket, you will need to use
 aws s3 cp s3://source-bucket/ s3://target-bucket command.

A: Since these are 2 complete different aws account, AFAIK you cannot use aws cp as you'll need two different credentials, one for your source and another one for the destination. Note of caution: You will lose all metadata (e.g. creation data, access rights, tags, ...) this way!

*

*run aws configure and put in the access and secret key of your client

*in an empty local directory run aws s3 cp --recursive s3://client-s3-bucket .

*run aws configure again and put in your own aws credentials (destination)

*from the same directory run aws s3 cp --recursive . s3://your-new-s3-bucket

Q: Are named functions good practice for jsx props? If I have an array of divs generated by javascript that should all have their own onClick function passed in I can easily use an arrow function to make them all behave in the way I would want. But ESLint highlights this as bad practice, no arrow functions or binds or even regular functions if all the flags are turned on. So here is a workaround I have been doing and I'm wondering if it is good practice or if I'm merely fooling my linter without getting any benefit?
So if I do this:
const array = [0, 1, 2, 3]

array.map((d, index) => {
  return
 myGeneralMethodOrFunction(index)
  }
  />
})

It may seem neat but triggers my linter so instead I do this:
const array = [0, 1, 2, 3]

array.map((d, index) => {
  function onThisClick() {
    myGeneralMethodOrFunction(index)
  }
  return

})

And I'm just not sure if the named function makes any difference towards actually making the problem my linter is trying to make me address go away (which is that arrow functions and such creates unnecessary re-rendering)
This seems especially fishy when you consider that writing onThisClick() directly into the divs onClick={} will trigger the linter as well, even though I don't how that is different from what I'm doing.
This is the error I'm talking about: https://github.com/yannickcr/eslint-plugin-react/blob/master/docs/rules/jsx-no-bind.md
Thoughts?

A: The reason probably being, anonymous functions are created each time the render is executed and named functions are not.
While this is not a big deal, it's considered to be neat and good practice in the React community.
Check this wonderful article for more on the topic https://medium.com/@rjun07a/binding-callbacks-in-react-components-9133c0b396c6
You can try the code below.
const array = [0, 1, 2, 3]

class Example extends React.Component {

  // Method currying with extra bound variable from callbacks
  onThisClick = (index) => (event) => {
    // Your execution on index which you send in render method
  }

  render() {
    return(
      array.map((d, index) => (

        )
      )
    )
  }
}


There is not a huge difference between the Assessment of Technical Competence and the Assessment of Professional Competence. As the title would suggest, it is more to do with your technical abilities rather than your professional ones. Unlike the APC, you will be given the qualification of a technical surveyor should you successfully complete your training.
Training to become a technical surveyor can in some cases take a bit longer than your Assessment of Technical Competence. The minimum training time is two years, and to qualify for your ATC you will need to have completed the necessary qualifications, such as a degree accredited by RICs.
After one year of embarking on your training, you will be assessed to make sure that you are on the right track. Throughout your day-to-day work you will need to make sure that you keep a record of the work that you carry out, and anything that may prove relevant in gaining your technical qualification.
Your counsellor will be able to advise you the best way to structure your document keeping. You will also need to have a final assessment, just as you do in your APC, this is designed to test your knowledge of technical issues and see how competent you are.
The final hurdle in your assessment will be the assessment interview, where you will need to be judged by two or three technical surveyors. They will quiz you on the work you have submitted and you may have to do a small presentation about the work you have submitted.
There is a chance that you will be able to switch over to do your APC if you are not successful with your ATC and vice versa. This will depend on a number of things, and it will not mean that you will be able to switch over automatically. You may have to redo a lot of your work to make it applicable to the new route you have chosen. It is not advisable to do this though as it will mean extra work.
Gaining your Assessment of Technical Competence qualification can be a challenging task. Although it follows the same format as the APC it will only be worthwhile if you are wanted a future career as a technical surveyor. Your employer should be able to advise you as to which is the best route for you, depending on which route you want to take.
Your ATC is not just about a final test, it is about constantly working and training to receive the qualification, It will not happen overnight, and it is not something that you will be able to study for. It is about working over a long period of time and demonstrating that you understand the property market and are able to adapt your skills to a job in the property sector.
Training to be a technical surveyor is not an easy task, so make sure that you are committed to it before you embark on the training.

Weekly Vlog: Love Your Mondays / You're NEVER Too Old
By Rene Aguirre
Here are some clips from the past week's Snapchat and Instagram stories. You're never too old to find out what you want to do next. Don't EVER feel that time is passing you by because you just graduated and you don't know what it is you want to do next. When you start loving your Mondays more than your Fridays; that's the beginning of something awesome.
Thanks for your time and hope you enjoy,
Rene Aguirre
Guys, hope everybody had a great weekend. Tomorrow, Monday, I'm excited. I might look tired, because I am. Just finished working on a new podcast. I was talking to some friends from church. One of them has his own business and he was telling me that he worked all day yesterday and he was super tired, and I said, "That's good, man." I told him success doesn't have a day off. I've never met anybody that's successful, or I don't know of anybody that was successful that, you know, took Saturdays off. It just doesn't happen.
When I started Bravo, we didn't take our first vacation until about five years later, and so that was only like a two week vacation. You know, a lot of people are out there skiing it up. A lot of people are out there going to places and their businesses are going down the drain. I've never understood that.
[inaudible 00:01:06] legs. Crazy, man. Cardio flow, 40 minutes nonstop, crazy workout, awesome. I thought it was going to be easier. Crazy. Guys, go out there and do it. If I motivate you, awesome, man. I'm not special, man. I'm just like you, but I just say yes. You know, Steve Jobs said this and it always stuck with me. He said, "When you grow up, you're going to realize that the world isn't run by people no more smarter than you." He's so right about that. And if anyone working out, when you see these guys working out you think, "Oh man, I can't do that." Yes, you can. The only reason they can do it is because they've been doing it for a while. But you can get there. You don't have to be special or anything like that, you just need to set your mind and just do it. So do it. No one's going to do it for you.
Grabbing some lunch with the kiddos. Enjoying the day, man. It's a beautiful day down here in South Texas. Always [inaudible 00:02:55] Glock 43 in the 4:00 position. Monday morning, you know how I feel about that, guys. Love what you do, man, love what you do. Don't work for the weekends. Don't work for your vacation time. Don't do that. Go find something that you really love and enjoy and do it. Especially if you're young, you've got all the time in the world. Well, I don't want to say all the time in the world, but you've got a lot of time. You know? And it's okay if you don't know what you want to do when you're 18, 20. I didn't know what I wanted to do until I was like 37. I didn't know I wanted to be an entrepreneur. Well, I kind of had that in me, but I didn't know that that was the path that I wanted to take in life. A lot of us make decisions way too early in life. So I'm waiting for my ride so I can get back to the office. I feel like a fish out of water when I'm not in my office.

From a press release:
The next meeting of the Northern Nevada Software Developers Group will be Wednesday October 23, 2013 at Bangkok Cuisine at 5851 South Virginia St. in Reno at 6:00 pm. Cost is FREE to attend or $12 with dinner CASH only please. You can RSVP using our website RSVP system please ONLY RSVP IF YOU PLAN TO EAT.
Presenter: Jeremy Murray
Title: Open Data - How and Why
A large amount of public money is spent on data collection. That data is often expensive and is only used in a limited way. By opening the data to the public, it can be examined and reused in new applications. Disparate data can be combined and presented in novel ways, stretching the value of the data.
Fostering local open data and applications can benefit both the public and the data provider, improving the community. We will look at some data, applications, and discuss future plans for open data here in Reno.
Jeremy Murray is a local software engineer. His interests include VCS, CI, process improvement, and training. He lives in Reno with his wife and three children.

Many people like to drink coffee in the morning to feel energized and to avoid feeling sleepy for the day. It is because there is an energy pump that came from the caffeine. In this article we will share interesting facts about caffeine to you. Check this out!
Due to the similarity of the molecule structures, caffeine can relate to the adenosine receptor in the brain cell. Adenosine is a transmitter nerve that sends impulse to the brain. When you consume caffeine, the molecule in it replaces the adenosine so it blocks the function that causes drowsiness and wakes the nerve cells activity instead. This is the reason why people feel energized and refreshed after a glass of coffee.
The blood circulation and body tissues will absorb the caffeine in 45 minutes after the consumption. But it will need another 4 hours to get it out of the body. And it doesn't mean all of the caffeine will be out completely. In fact, it needs 12 hours to destroy the caffeine in a cup of coffee. If you consume more than a cup a day, it will need more time to get the caffeine out of your body.
If you consume too much caffeine, of course it is not good for your body. It can even cause death from over dosage consumption. At the moment, many caffeine powder sold freely in the market. It contains 100% of caffeine and people are using it to increase energy, to focus on studying, or to lose weight. Consuming 5 grams of caffeine is approximately like drinking 30-50 cups of coffee. The amount of caffeine that is safe to be consumed by an adult per day is 400 mg. For pregnant women, it will be 200 mg maximum.
Avoid coffee if you are currently stressed. The caffeine will increase the stress by empowering the stress response in the body. It will also increase the blood pressure and heart pulse. This condition is even worse for people with hypertension and diabetes type 2.
The caffeine that contained in the coffee tree, tea tree, and cocoa tree can function as natural pesticides. Even in higher dosage it can also be insecticide.


"Falling Uphill" is a film that focuses on Robert, a young man struggling to make ends meet financially but he is also having another problem. Since taking Jenny on as a roommate a year ago Robert has begun falling in love with her but the problem is she already has a boyfriend and Robert is about to move back home because he just can't make ends meet in San Francisco. To make matters worse he meets Sara, a young lady with troubles of her own. Agreeing to help her out makes it a bit more difficult for him and Jenny to meet up and have the talk they both want before he leaves but meeting Sara could also be the wake up call Robert has been needing.
This is a pretty simple movie story wise but it is also realistic as well with interesting and likable characters that are more complex than you might think going into the movie. To talk too much about the story would do the film no justice, the characters and the story they tell is one that needs to be seen rather than told about. You really pull for Robert and you really want things to work out with him and Jenny who seem like they could easily be that perfect couple but once he meets Sara you begin to think that maybe there is more out there for him and perhaps leaving is the best option for him at this time. It is a though-provoking romantic drama that pulls at the heart strings but it also provides some pretty good laughs along the way as well.
One of things that really stood out for me here was the cast, Ari Kanamori is terrific as Robert, Jessiqa Pace is amazing as Sara, she just about steals every scene she is in and Jena Hunt is a beautiful and talented actress who gives a wonderful performance as Jenny. The film looks great and the Indie soundtrack really fits the story. This is also a pretty impressive feature film debut for Writer/Director, Richard J. Bosner. I don't like to compare movies and such but Bosner seems to have the same kind of story telling abilities as Edward Burns which is a great gift to have. I look forward to seeing what this talented filmmaker has coming out next.
I enjoyed everything about "Falling Uphill" and found it to be a terrific character driven drama that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

I am trying to remove a drive from the pool and when I do I get the following error.
Access to path '\VOLUME......\ is denied.
I removed the full name of the volume.
Installed the latest version and it's giving me the same error again. Any ideas anyone?
Jim, I need to see the error reports to give you more details.
I know there is an issue with removing the last drive from the pool, but I presume this is not what you're doing.
Access denied could mean that DrivePool doesn't have NTFS security access to do something. DrivePool performs administrative tasks as local system. You may try to restart the StableBit DrivePool service to see if that makes a difference.
You can submit your error reports via. stablebit.com and I'll take a look at the cause of the problem in more detail.
It's removing a drive at the moment, I'll send the reports when it's done.

In this article, we will list out 8 shows that will tickle your fashion sense and that'll make you look good and feel great.

Coming back to the point, here are the 8 best shows you can watch on HBO Max related to fashion persona:
1. Legendary (2020)
What better place to get pointer tips from, than a reality TV competition? That is our first pick entitled Legendary.

4. 13 Going on 30 (2004)

Bumps and shunts part of life in the convoy but safety for all remains a major concern
by Jeremy Whittle May 14, 2021
Words by Jeremy Whittle | Photo: SWpix.com
Until about a decade or so ago, I used to drive a press car in the convoy during major races — that is in among the team cars, TV motorbikes, guest cars, and yes, the bike riders. The peak of this experience would be a stage of the Tour de France, when the intensity of ebb and flow, back and forth, of vehicles, motorbikes and riders, was nerve-racking.
There were often several other press cars in there — jostling with the VIPs, the TV motos, the team cars and the commissaires. It was sometimes terrifying and mostly unnecessary. I wasn't filming, just observing. It never really added that much more insight, beyond reinforcing how brutal and dangerous professional road racing is.
The last time I drove a Tour stage 'in' the race, my passenger ended up crouched in the foot well, quivering, after a high-speed downhill slalom through a pretty village somewhere in the Auvergne, induced a near panic attack. The next day I decided that maybe I'd had enough of the stress too.
Besides, I felt that driving 'in-race' was getting increasingly dangerous and that there had been enough near-misses. My presence, no matter how good a driver, was just taking up more space. I'd learned an important lesson. When you're alongside another car, close enough to the driver to chat about what they had for dinner last night or to read the screen on their phone, you're probably too close.
A couple of years later, came the infamous and shocking Johnny Hoogerland incident, in which a French television media car sent the Dutchman flying through a barbed wire fence, after it misjudged the gap between the breakaway and a gnarled tree.
"The irony is that it was the commissaires that called us up there. They told us they had some rain jackets for us to collect. We didn't need them then, we'd have happily waited to pick up the jackets until after the stage."
MATT WHITE, Team BikeExchange sports director
Thankfully, things are different now. There are far stricter controls on who drives in the convoy and how skilled they are. Luckily most of those who drive in professional bike races are ex-pros who are skilled drivers, operating in a high-pressure environment and under intense scrutiny, much as they did as a professional rider.
When, in full view of live TV cameras, Team BikeExchange sports director Gene Bates shunted Pieter Serry's back wheel towards the end of stage six of the Giro d'Italia, as he pulled alongside a commissaire's car to collect clothing, it was a silly accident caused by a moment's inattention. Serry, who landed hard on the tarmac, was understandably furious, but managed to finish the stage.
Bates however will not see Milan. The UCI threw him off the race, while also fining his passenger, fellow sports director and former pro, Matt White, two thousand Swiss francs. There was an outraged reaction to the shunt from social media and some pundits, but really, was it an over-reaction to a banal accident, one of a kind that is much more common in the convoy than some would like to admit?
"Of course we were sorry," White told La Course En Tete on Friday. "It was totally an accident and Gene spent 20 minutes apologising to Peter Serry after the stage. There's no bad blood with Deceuninck QuickStep. They understood it was an accident. We admitted that and understood it was worth a sanction, but not that it was bad enough for Gene to be thrown off the race."
Serry later thanked Team BikeExchange for their apologies, while White added that Team BikeExchange had protested against Bates' expulsion. "The UCI's head commissaire listened to our arguments and went back to ask, but was told by a higher power that the decision to ban Gene stood."
"The irony is that it was the commissaires that called us up there in the first place," White said. "They told us they had some rain jackets for us to collect – that was at the bottom of the last climb. We didn't need them then, we'd have happily waited to pick up the jackets until after the stage."
But White also argued that responsibility for improving safety, across the board, applied to all those working on the race.
"Twenty four hours before, a Qhubeka Assos car totalled a Team DSM car, but that wasn't even mentioned in a communique and the car's a write off. Isn't safety in the convoy about all of us? Look at the stage finish to Cattolica (in which Mikel Landa was among those who crashed). Who got sanctioned for that?"
"We have now lost a DS for the whole Giro," White said. "The most hypocritical part of it by the UCI is that they wouldn't reduce it to a five day ban so he could come back on the race later on, but they did say he could go and work on the Tour of Hungary. So it's not a ban from UCI races, it's just a ban from the Giro."
Now, the Australian argued, a precedent has been set. "We asked them what the race ban was based on and they mentioned an incident with a driver of ambulance a couple of years back, but that's a different situation to a team car working in the convoy."
In fact, over the years there have been numerous incidents of riders being clipped by, or colliding with, in-race vehicles, from Hoogerland's crash, Peter Sagan at the Vuelta, Julian Alaphilippe's tangle with a moto during last year's Tour of Flanders, Bob Jungels being sideswiped by an ambulance in last year's Tour de France and so on — once you start totting them all up, it's a very long list.
For Team BikeExchange, racing on many fronts and running a women's team, it's a member of staff that they can ill afford to lose during the second biggest stage race of the season. "We will manage," White said of the loss of Bates. "You can do it with one less DS. We'll still get the work done but it's not ideal."
"What we do is dangerous," White added. "Bike racing is inherently dangerous, but the vast majority of drivers in team cars are experienced and very careful and are ex-bike riders themselves." Experienced enough to wait until the finish to collect discarded rain jackets, rather than collect them during the finale of a rain-soaked mountain stage, as White says the UCI commissaire directed.
