Giving and receiving Christmas presents can be a very special thing and it's extra nice and meaningful when it's clear that the person giving the gift has given it a lot of thought and made an effort by choosing very thoughtfully or putting together a gift that is truly personal.
Most people have something that they're good at and this is an area to explore if you want to give more personal gifts this year. Maybe you can knit or sew, draw or paint, cook or bake? There are many homemade items that would make lovely gifts — a handknitted scarf or mittens, a portrait painting, jars of homemade jams or preserves or a big batch of delicious homemade cookies.
If you're not the crafty type, you can also order personalised gifts online. Countryside Art specialises in making printed tea towels, kitchen textiles and other giftware and using them you can create stunning gifts that are personalised and professionally printed.
There are many companies that specialise in personalised books for children. They make books that feature photos or drawings of the child or simply their name and, in my experience, children love these! The market is not the same for adult literature, but you can always personalise a book gift by writing a message to the recipient at the start of the book. My dad used to always do this, and it always felt more special. Another way to make a book gift more special is to find a book that's really special to the person you're buying for. Maybe a first edition or simply their all-time favourite book.
Gifting an experience is another way to make a gift stand out and be more memorable and personal, especially if the experience is something you do together. Organise a visit to a spa, a weekend away or a fun class for you to take together for a gift that you can look forward to together and remember forever.
Most people still take lots of photos but don't get them printed anymore. Photos are a great way to capture memories and special moments and having them printed is a much better reminder than having them as files on your computer or your phone. Print special photos and frame them or create photo gifts like photo books or canvases to give to family and friends to remind them of happy times you've enjoyed together.
Jewellery and watches are popular gifts for special occasions and to make them more personal, why not have them engraved with names or a little message? I especially love jewellery that you can get with your children's names on as I know how special that would be for a mother. There are lots of options online for things like that and if you already have a piece of jewellery that you want to get engraved, then you can take it to a local jeweller.

Q: Problems using phpMyAdmin from iPhone I do a lot of web stuff from my phone and sometimes I need to go in to a database using phpMyAdmin to change some things.
The problem I'm having is with the Run SQL tool. From the iPhone I'm not able to double-tap the text area to Paste the command. Even typing everything in proves difficult. It seems to be an issue with the line numbers.
I know I know I shouldn't even be doing that kind of work via my iPhone, phpMyAdmin isn't exactly designed for mobile usage, but I do. Does anyone know a workaround for this?

A: You can try MySQL Quick Admin http://www.fusionswift.com/mysql-quick-admin/
"..is a essentially a light weight version of PHPMyAdmin.."

The City of Lodi skyrocketed to notoriety with the 1969 release of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song by the same name. The song "Lodi" tells the story of a seasoned musician who laments the stagnation of his career in the Central Valley town. But if all you know of the area is the impression you've gotten from that 50-year-old CCR tune, a short visit to Lodi will quickly have you singing a different one.
Coined the "Zinfandel Capital of the World," Lodi is a well-known wine growing region with over 113,000 acres of vineyards and a climate similar to nearby Sonoma and Napa counties. And while the lyrics of "Lodi" paint a somewhat bleak picture of the types of opportunities available there, the town itself can actually be a wonderful place to launch and grow a career – just ask any of the IBEW 1245 members who work for the City of Lodi's electric utility.
Five-year IBEW 1245 member Benjamin Griffith works as a senior electrical engineering technician for the City of Lodi, and values the unique opportunities he's been given through his quality union job. He oversees a broad range of work, from replacing getaways to installing a station feeder and a mile-and-a-half of new primary cable, to routine maintenance. He also does all the single line and three-line drawings for construction crews and customer-based projects, determining required materials and labor estimates which impact the City budget.
Urgent issues also require Griffith's attention. He told the Utility Reporter about a low-voltage report he had responded to out in the field earlier that day, noting that he and his colleagues always try to create as little impact on customers as possible, working through the night and into the early pre-dawn hours when necessary to minimize disruptions.
Griffith recognizes the value that the union plays in improving his pay and working conditions and has seen the power of collective action first-hand at the bargaining table.
Journeyman Lineman Layne Worley, a native of nearby Oakdale, also works for the City of Lodi's Electric Utility Department and has been an IBEW member since 2013.
Worley recently returned home after completing his line apprenticeship with Mountain States JATC in Montana. He appreciated his time in Big Sky Country, but is glad to be back home with his crew.
"I enjoy it here. It's a great group of guys to work around," he said, noting that a successful group dynamic is critical for safety on the job.
While Worley's work includes routine maintenance on tangent structures, like changing out cross arms, he knows that even everyday tasks still require careful focus and attention. The presence of the public can always pose new challenges and potential dangers that IBEW workers are careful to heed. He appreciates the union's focus on safety, but his favorite part of being a union member is the sense of belonging and collective power.
Before coming to the City of Lodi's Electrical Department over two years ago, Apprentice Lineman Charlie Brown worked for a non-union outfit in Nevada for four years. The union difference did not take long to realize.
For Brown, working for the City of Lodi is an opportunity to get a lot of experience, while also performing routine and preventive maintenance. He works hard to make sure everyone goes home safe – including his co-workers, as well as other members of the community.
Brown knows from his own experience that the union plays a key part in establishing a culture of safety and training, and that's what makes IBEW workers the best in the business. The union is providing a better life for Brown, too.

This New Aussie Fiver Raises The Bar As The World's Coolest Banknote
- Libellés : News
Struth mate! What the Flying fucky McFuckerson is this new fiver about?
So the UK has decided to bring out its own plastic £5 note, with the queen on one side and Winston Churchill the other. It's launching in a few days. We're about to bask in the glory of finally moving forward in the banknote world and going to a type of plastic, which other currencies such as the Romanian leu and Hong Kong dollar have been doing for years with some of their notes.
Australia has also used plastic notes for years. You've got to remember all the lads and lasses go to the beach, have a barbie, put some shrimps on it, have a Foster's (yep, I know they don't really drink it), have a few too many and then take a dip in the ocean, forgetting they've got some notes in their pocket, meaning plastic notes are as important as food and water to them. If they were made out of paper they'd now be wetter than a Conor Maynard concert.
But wait for this new note! Australia has gone and outshone us with this brand-spanking new $5 dollar badass.
As well as having our wonderful queen on it (Australia is still a valued member of the Commonwealth), it's full of colour, extremely clever and user-friendly.
Take a look at this...
What is this magic I see before my eyes?
A hologram with a bird's wings flapping, a see through film and things changing colour for laughs are just some of the ridiculously cool features on the note.
I'm going to pop to the bank to exchange some money just to get my hands on one. I'm also looking forward to the other new notes coming out in Australia. Most awesomely, there's also a tactile feature that sticks out for people who are visually impaired. Awesome.
For those of you who haven't seen the designs for the UK's new fiver, here it is.
With Churchill now replacing Elizabeth Fry, and Jane Austen replacing Charles Darwin next year on the tenner, who should replace Adam Smith for our 20 bad ones?
Yep, Harambe!

Lifestyle changes including exercise, weight loss, an anti-inflammatory diet, and other therapies have been recommended but typically acetaminophen and NSAIDs are used to manage the symptoms of arthritis, especially pain. The long-term use of these drugs, however, is associated with enhanced risk for gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, hypertension, congestive heart failure and renal insufficiency.3 NSAID and other prescription drugs may cause Nutritional deficiencies. People suffering from arthritis have turned to nutraceuticals or natural products to ease their pain and discomfort. A number of these nutraceuticals have been studied and used for many years and have proven to be well tolerated, as well as safe. Supplements can assist in regenerating healthy joint cartilage, and address the pain and inflammation that otherwise trigger a cascade causing further break down of healthy cartilage.
An emerging novel nutraceutical ingredient known as UC-II, has received considerable attention in the treatment of OA and RA.11,12 UC-II is a novel undenatured type II collagen derived from chicken sternum cartilage. It is the primary form of collagen contained in cartilage. Type II collagen extracts contain the amino acids found in the framework of human cartilage. These amino acids are required for the synthesis and repair of connective tissue throughout the body. UC-II supports knee function and comfort and sends messages to the body's joints to clear up any worn out joint tissue, which allows new joint tissue (cartilage) to be made. This improves the function and comfort of the joint. It is so effective that you only need a small amount of this undenatured form of type 2 collagen once a day to support joint health.
Fortunately, the multitude of nutraceuticals with their safety profile are proving to be efficacious in the management of the most common types of arthritis and making the need to avoid dangerous drugs more possible.

Many women look forward to becoming a mother. Infertility can be a huge roadblock for some on the road to parenthood. Infertility treatments, such as In Vitro Fertilization have been around for years. But are there any options for women without a uterus?
A report from the Associated Press says, doctors in Sweden are pioneering a new surgery for womb transplants.Already, nine women have successfully received transplanted wombs. Most of the women are in their 30s and were either born without a uterus or had it removed due to cervical cancer. The women received transplanted wombs donated from relatives. Although the women have received wombs, researchers are still waiting to see if the transplanted wombs will result in successful pregnancies.
This is not the first time womb transplants have been attempted. Doctors in both Turkey and Saudi Arabia performed womb transplant surgeries but neither was successful in producing babies. Similar operations are being planned by scientists in Britain and Hungary.
Life-saving transplants of vital organs have been around for years, is this a natural progression or have scientists gone to far? Is it ethical to use live donors?

Q: Spinner Scrollbar inset or padding I'm looking to change the style of the scrollbar in my spinner popup view. But changing properties in the xml doesn't do anything to the popup as it's a different view.

<Spinner
        android:id="@+id/countrySpinner"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/spinner_background"
        android:layoutDirection="rtl"
        android:popupBackground="@drawable/spinner_dropdown_background"
        android:popupElevation="4dp"
        app:popupTheme="@style/PopupTheme"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@id/citySpinner"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintWidth_percent="0.8" />

This is the style of my spinner. As it's clear, the scrollbar is appearing on top of the corners of the spinner which make it look very off.
Is there anyway to change the style of the scrollbar? Make it more round like the corners. Or at least remove it entirely.
Edit : I managed to remove it from styles. Would still like if there was a way to customize it

A: Spinner does not have a scrollbar.The popup shown by spinner has a scrollbar. So you need to change the properties of the ListView shown by spinner. But ListView itself is not exposed by Spinner by any public methods.
But If you are going to create a custom Spinner, i believe it is easier to implement the whole popup to suit your needs than using reflection.

Combat Cars is a racing game released for the Sega Genesis in 1994, in which you not only compete with other cars, trying to outrun them, but also use all kinds of weapons and gadgets to damage your opponents.
In the beginning of the game, you can choose one of the eight available characters: Jackyl, Sadie, Ray, Mekmac, Metro, Growl, Mama, Andrew. Each character has his/her own strengths and weaknesses (speed, car handling, etc.), as well as unique weapons. The weapons include a simple gun, glue spots you can leave to trap other cars, homing missiles, mines, and others. There are 24 different tracks available in the game. You must complete them in a linear fashion, and once you run out of time, the game is over.

Sweco team sparks next generation of North East engineers
Posted by Calum.Anderson | Sep 10, 2019 | Business, Education | 0
A Redcar engineer has helped inspire the next generation of Teesside's scientists and engineers after organising, funding and launching a science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) club for young students at a local primary school.
Ben Sickling, a principal engineer in the Stockton office of design and engineering consultancy Sweco, delivered a series of three-week long STEM projects for three groups of eight six-year-old students at Zetland Primary School in Redcar.
The club, delivered by Ben in his spare time, gave pupils the chance to learn the basics of electrical circuits.
As part of the activity, the children built their own 'Buzz Off' games from kits designed and manufactured by Sunderland-based technology educator Technology Tom. The game challenges players to guide a metal loop around a bent wire without touching the two together and setting off an alarm.
Following the success of the club, Ben is now in discussions with Zetland Primary School to run further initiatives next year for students in Years Five and Six, and is developing a business case to secure funding for future projects.
Ben's work forms part of his role as a STEM Ambassador – an initiative that sees volunteers from across the UK with STEM backgrounds work to support STEM subject learning and help young people explore the career options available to them across the various sectors.
The STEM Club comes amid a range of outreach activity from Sweco's Stockton team, designed to raise awareness of the opportunities in – and paths into – the engineering profession.
Members of the Sweco team recently attended Stockton Sixth Form College to offer their advice to students on career options in engineering. Thomas Lee, a Sweco team member who started his engineering career through an apprenticeship, and David Ayre, who joined the business as a graduate engineer from Teesside University, also discussed their own unique paths from growing up in the region to their current engineering roles.
Meanwhile, principal engineer Shimoo Choudhury and technical director Stuart Wilson have been working with Teesside University to support graduates' entry into engineering jobs. Alumni of the university themselves, Shimoo and Stuart have provided a number of presentations to staff and students on the opportunities available, and their own routes into engineering.
Sweco's relationship with Teesside University has helped the university renew the accreditation of its engineering courses from the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET), who commended it on its links to industry.
Stuart Wilson, technical director, Sweco, said: "STEM knowledge has a central role to play in developing solutions to some of society's biggest challenges, spanning industries as diverse as transport, energy and healthcare.
"This is why it's so important that we encourage engagement with these subjects from a young age, as Ben has helped do at Zetland Primary School, and continue to support young people throughout their time in education, showing how exciting a career in STEM can be and highlighting the range of routes that they can take into the sector.
"All of our team are North East locals who have entered the industry through a variety of pathways. Our experience working with a multinational company like Sweco also clearly demonstrates that there are opportunities for our youth to stay locally, but work globally."
Simon English, headmaster, Zetland Primary School, said: "The STEM club has been a runaway success. Through the activities, I've seen childrens' personalities really come out and we've had great reactions from those that took part. Our thanks to Ben and all those involved for their time and effort."
Sweco currently employs more than 1,340 people and consults on projects across the UK and Ireland via its network of 26 regional offices. It has been named top ten UK civil engineering firm for two years running in the annual NCE100 ranking of the top civil engineering firms, compiled by the official magazine of the Institution of Civil Engineers. The business retained its sixth place position this year, having leapt 40 places in 2018.

Home A Soulful Noise, Admin Announcements
Maxwell Hearts SoulBounce
April 2, 2008 | 12:40 pm
As much as we sweat stan talk about Maxwell on SoulBounce, we'd be remiss not to mention that he has shouted us out on his MySpace page. Yes, yes, y'all! We already had a sneaking suspicion that he read SoulBounce, but to get this confirmation from the man himself was incredible. I know that we tend to give him a hard time here at SB, but it's only because we love Maxwell like we do. If we didn't care for the dude you wouldn't see his name around these parts at all or very little. Nonetheless, for him to publicly acknowledge us alongside a select few on his MySpace page is kinda fly.
Regarding what Maxwell is up to right now, he's going into deep cover mode to finish up the album. There's still no release date, but it really is coming soon so be patient, people. And he even suggested to the ladies that they start getting right for his concert tour and told the fellas to get ready to seal the deal after he provides the foreplay. Lord. Have. Mercy. Swing low sweet chariot and carry me home! Check out Max's statement including our shout out after the bounce.

Tretinoin is the generic name for the trade name drug Vesanoid®. In some cases, health care professionals may use the trade name Vesanoid® or All-trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) when referring to the generic drug name tretinoin.
The amount of tretinoin you will receive depends on many factors, including you height and weight, your general health or other health problems, and the type of cancer you have. Your doctor will determine your dosage and schedule.
Tretinoin side effects may be quite manageable. There are many options to help minimize or prevent the side effects of tretinoin.
There is no relationship between the presence or severity of tretinoin side effects and teh effectiveness of the medication.
A very serious side effect that is preventable with proper monitoring and immediate treatment is APL differentiation syndrome. This syndrome is a reaction between the drug and the leukemia. This syndrome produces fever, difficulty breathing, weight gain, lung and heart problems. It is generally treated with high-dose steroids. In most cases, treatment with Tretinoin will continue. Be sure to let your health care professional know if you experience fever of 100.4° F or 38° C, difficulty breathing, or sudden weight gain. The syndrome usually occurs during the first month of treatment, with some cases reported following the first dose.
Do not receive any kind of immunication or vaccination without your doctor's approval while taking Tretinoin.
Inform your health care professional if you are pregnant or may be pregnant prior to starting this treatment. Pregnancy category D (Tretinoin may be hazardous to the fetus. Women who are pregnant or become pregnant must be advised of the potential hazard to the fetus).
Because of the extremely high risk that a deformed infant can result if pregnancy occurs while taking Tretinoin in any amount even for short periods of time, for both men and women: Do not conceive a child (get pregnant) while taking Tretinoin. Two methods of effective contraception are recommended form women of childbearing potential, unless absolute abstinence is the chosen method. Discuss with your doctor when you may safely become pregnant or conceive a child after therapy.
Avoid wearing contact lenses if you have dry of irritated eyes.
Keep your bowels moving. Your health care provider may prescribe a stool softener to help prevent constipation that may be caused by Tretinoin.
You will be monitored regularly by your health care professional while you are taking Tretinoin to monitor side effects and check your response to therapy. For women of childbearing age, a pregnancy test is required one week prior to beginning this therapy and every month furing treatment. Blood counts and lipid (fats, cholesterol) levels and liver function all need to be analyzed before treatment begins and regularly during treatment. These are measureed through blood tests.
Retinoids are relatively new types of anti-cancer drugs. They have been used alone or in combination to treat a variety of cancers such as skin cancers, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, acute promyelocytic leukemia, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, and head and neck cancers. Retinoid have also been used experimentally in an attempt to prevent certain types of cancer. There is ongoing research to determine their role in both cancer treatment and prevention.


She walked into the office building, a modern glass structure near the centre of town, and gave her name to the chic receptionist at the marble topped desk. Waiting while the woman contacted Beth's office, she turned and looked around the lobby. Her firm shared a building with several other businesses, mainly lawyers and financial consultants.
The lobby was sparsely decorated, with modern artwork splashed across the bare white walls. The uncomfortable sofas surrounded by jagged plants deterred lingerers. The receptionist suited the place, Beth mused. She was wearing a sharp red suit, her dark hair bluntly cut, a slash of red at her lips, killer high heels snapping on the cold marble floor as she advanced towards Beth with a visitors' badge.
"Take the elevator to the 5th floor, Madame. The receptionist, Madame Galliard will meet you and take you to Monsieur Callow", she advised.
Beth attached the visitors' badge to the waistband of her trousers as she ascended to the 5th floor. Checking her hair nervously in the mirror, she smoothed her trousers and top and snarled at her reflection to see if she had lipstick on her teeth. The doors opened to reveal a clone of the lobby receptionist, only wearing a black suit but with the same killer heels and sharp haircut. Beth was beginning to feel rather underdressed, it was clear that the women here took great pains with their appearance.
"Thank you, nice to meet you Mme Galliard", Beth replied, "I am happy to be here at last".
"Thank you, that would be lovely. May I have a glass of water? It is rather warm today".
With a murmured, "Thank you", for Mme Gailliard, she sipped water and eyed the coffee. Tipping the little tub of cream into the coffee and adding sugar, she took a hesitant taste. As she had suspected, it was much stronger than she was used to – more like an espresso – potent and sweet.
A door further down the hall opened and Beth recognised Anthony Callow, the Senior Partner in Geneva. He strode towards her, light reflecting off his wire rimmed glasses, his clothes and hair impeccable as always. They had met on several occasions and she had never seen him with a hair out of place. He buttoned his jacket automatically, the suit cut to flatter his tall slim figure. Beth had heard some of the female staff refer to him as a "silver fox" but she had heard no rumours of any flirtations or office romances over the years. Not for want of opportunity or interest, but Anthony frowned upon workplace relationships and kept his private life very private indeed.
"Beth, how lovely to see you. Welcome to Geneva. How was the trip?", he asked courteously as he led her into his office. Closing the door, he gestured towards an informal seating arrangement overlooking the lake. "Please, sit down".
As Anthony and Beth chatted, she could see his eyes passing over the bruises on her face but he refrained from asking. Taking a deep breath, she touched a finger to her eye and said, "You may have noticed the injuries on my face. I was attacked on Friday evening and may have to return to London for the court case at some point in the future. I shall try to schedule this so that it does not interfere with my workload".
"Attacked? How terrible. Were you hurt? What happened," Anthony looked shocked and concerned.
"Thank you. I am fine, aside from the bruises but they are almost gone", Beth downplayed the incident, "It really looks worse than it is".
"Yes, he was caught. I am waiting to hear from the prosecutor as to whether it will go to court. I am hoping that he will plead guilty, and then I will not have to go back to London for a court case. He was not unknown to me – it was my ex-boyfriend".
Anthony frowned, "I am very sorry to hear that. You know of course, that part of the expatriate package includes health insurance and the services of a counsellor should you feel that you would like to talk about the incident".
"As you wish. Now. Why don't I show you your new office", Anthony suggested.
Her office was two doors down from Anthony's on the other side of the hall, without a view of the lake, but with a window to the tree lined courtyard below. Setting her bag down on the wooden desk, she looked around in approval. One wall was lined with bookcases, ready to be filled with her legal tomes. There was a small sitting area with three club armchairs around a table.
She smiled at Anthony, "Thank you, very nice", and then turned at the sound of a soft knock at the door to greet William, "Hello. Nice to see you again, William. How are you?".
"I will leave you two to chat", Anthony interjected, "Beth, take the rest of the week to settle into your new apartment. We shall see you on Monday".
Unwilling to go through it all again, she laughed it off and muttered something about the relaxed lifestyle in Geneva having soothed some of Anthony's sharp corners.
"Well, I won't keep you, since you have dispensation to take off. Get going before he changed his mind. Would you like to come out with the rest of the gang tonight? We often go for an after work drink in a wine bar nearby".
Accepting William's offer, Beth arranged to meet him later and said farewell. As she strolled back through the town to her hotel, her phone rang. It was the crew of the removal company to tell her that they had passed the Swiss customs without any problems and would arrive in Geneva that evening ready to unpack tomorrow at 7am. After arranging to meet at the apartment the next morning, Beth hung up the phone. By this time tomorrow, she would have moved into her new home, she thought giddily.
She decided to go out for a walk around the town. She still had some time before she was due to meet William and the others, and she wanted to see the old town.
Climbing the steep hill to the top of the town was not for the faint hearted, she thought. The cobbled streets were narrow and lined with interesting boutiques, restaurants and antique stores. At the top of the hill, she was rewarded by the view over the town and the lake beyond. Sitting in a pavement cafe, she ordered a café au lait – and received another extra strong black coffee with small carton of cream. Something was getting lost in translation. She was sure that café au lait was coffee with milk, so why did she keep getting an espresso?
When she had paid for her coffee, while again agonising over leaving a tip or not, she walked back down to the lakeside wine bar where she had arranged to meet her new colleagues. This life of leisure was rather pleasant, she mused. She had better make the most of it tonight, as from tomorrow, she would be busy unpacking and next week it was back to the grindstone.
William waved, "Hi, Beth. Here, I already ordered you a glass of wine", he said before introducing her to the others. "This is Gill, Audrey, Chantal and Marc".

PH senior citizens in a time of pandemic
Senior citizens in Ilocos Norte receive their vaccines at a COVID-19 vaccination facility. The provincial government is expecting to ramp up its vaccination drive to achieve herd immunity. (Photo courtesy of Ilocos Norte provincial government)
MANILA, Philippines—The first week of October, through Proclamation No. 470 signed by then-President Fidel Ramos on Sept. 26, 1994, has been declared as Elderly Filipino Week.
According to the proclamation, the Executive Department, through the Department of Social Welfare and Development, is tasked with developing a social welfare program promoting the wellbeing of the elderly.
According to latest data from the Philippine Statistics Authority, there were 12,336,355 Filipinos aged 60 years old and above as of May 2020.
The total number of senior citizens was 11.31 percent of the country's estimated total population at 109,035,343, based on the 2020 Census of Population and Housing (2020 CPH).
Francisca Susano, from Negros Occidental province, who is considered the oldest living person in the country, celebrated her 124th birthday in September.
The plaque awarded by the National Commission on Senior Citizens (NCSC) also claimed that Susano, born on Sept. 11, 1897, is also the oldest person in the world.

The COVID-19 pandemic has, however, added a never before seen dimension in how the national government should treat senior citizens.
COVID cases, vaccination efforts
The United Nations (UN), in its policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on older persons published in 2020, emphasized that senior citizens are highly likely to contract SARS Cov2 — the virus that causes COVID-19.
The UN added that elderly people were at a significantly higher risk of mortality and severe disease following infection.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cited several reasons for higher COVID risks among seniors.
Senior citizens are more likely to have underlying, long-term health problems.
People's immune system tend to weaken with age, which makes it harder for older people to fight off infections.
Inflammation tends to be more intense among elderly persons, which increases the risk of organ damage.
Respiratory diseases, such as COVID-19, are considered a concern among older adults as their lung tissue becomes less elastic over time.
In the Philippines, data from the Department of Health (DOH) showed that while COVID-19 infections were fewer among Filipinos aged 60 and above than those among younger age groups, the mortality rate among older patients was much higher.
Screenshot from DOH's COVID-19 Tracker
Data as of Oct. 4 showed that there are already 119,484 total cases among Filipinos aged 60 to 64 years old. The total recoveries in the same age group were 108,873, while there are a total of 4,972 deaths recorded.

Among those between ages 65 to 69 years old, 89,774 have already been taken ill with COVID-19. Still, at least 79,590 have recovered, while 5,328 died.
In the 70 to 74 age group, 65,182 cases were logged. Around 56,400 were tagged as recovered and 5,109 were marked as deaths.
A total of 38,449 cases, around 32,436 recoveries, and 3,573 deaths were listed in the 75 to 79 age group.
The DOH also recorded 45,379 COVID-19 positive individuals aged 80 and above. At least 37,074 of them recovered while 5,191 died.
Amid the increasing cases of COVID-19 in the country, paired with the rising threat of the different COVID-19 variants, the national government has been pushing vaccination progress among senior citizens.
Data breakdown of the country's vaccine tracker showed that as of Sept. 5, around 4,016,318 individuals in the A2 category—senior citizens aged 60 and above—have already been fully vaccinated against SARS Cov2.
At least 3,427,089 from the same priority group have received their first doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
In August, the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed concern over the "unacceptable" low number of vaccinated senior citizens in the Philippines.
"We are very concerned that most of our older, more vulnerable people are still missing out on essential, life-saving vaccines against COVID-19," said Dr. Rabindra Abeyasinghe, WHO representative to the Philippines.
"Not vaccinating most of our elderly now means more of them will suffer from severe illness and death. This is unacceptable when we already have adequate vaccine stocks to protect them," said Abeyasinghe.

Pandemic relief
According to NCSC and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), this year's theme for the celebration of the Elderly Filipino Week (EFW) is "MahALAGA sina Lolo at Lola Ngayong Pandemya."
The celebration aims to highlight issues concerning senior citizens amid the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"The NCSC urges the government, from the national to the local levels, to undertake the necessary steps to heighten the focus in improving the lives of our senior citizens, in all aspects of their lives," said NCSC chair lawyer Franklin M. Quijano.
"Let us all pray that we will be liberated from this pandemic, pray for mutual love and protection, that our nation will once again be restored into the path of strength, resiliency and progress," he added.
The DSWD, as the lead agency in social protection, has assured continued support for the elderly through several programs and services including the social pension program and centenarian incentive.
"Amid granular lockdown in some areas, the DSWD continues to distribute the stipend of indigent senior citizen-beneficiaries of the social pension program across the country," DSWD said in a statement.
It said centenarians will continue to receive P100,000 in incentives mandated by law.
READ: https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/823842/centenarians-to-get-p100k-incentives-irr-signed
Data as of May 2021 showed that a total of 827 centenarians—out of the 1,319 target beneficiaries of DSWD—have already received their P100,000 cash incentive. This amounts to P82.7 million disbursed from the agency's fund.
Field offices of DSWD in Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon) and Northern Mindanao have already finished distributing the centenarian incentive for its target beneficiaries.
In Cebu City, octogenarians and nonagenarians may already receive a P100,000 financial incentive starting in 2022.
READ: Centenarians to get P100k, incentives; IRR signed
Last year, two Senate committees pushed for the approval of Senate Bill No. 1319—a bill seeking to give P10,000 cash assistance to Filipinos who reach the age of 80 and 90 years old.
Acknowledging the impact of the pandemic on the distribution of benefits for centenarians, Sen. Grace Poe has recently recommended a review of the distribution process.
"Our centenarian lolos and lolas (grandparents) passing away without receiving their cash gift is beyond bearing," the senator said in a statement released on Sept. 26.
"In distributing the benefits the government should consider reviewing its processes to make them less cumbersome and more accommodating to the elderly, who are naturally constrained by age and resources," she added.
Welfare protection
Aside from the risk brought by COVID-19, the UN also said elderly people face additional vulnerabilities amid the global health pandemic.
UN cited "distressing reports" detailing instances of neglect "or mistreatment" of senior citizens.
To address and prevent these among Filipino senior citizens, the NCSC launched a week-long social media campaign dubbed as "Todo Pito" Campaign.
Part of the commission's campaign will be a "Healthy Ageing" advocacy which will be carried out every day for the whole week, which started on Oct. 1 and ends on Oct. 7.
The program will tackle issues such as substance abuse, mental health, sexual reproduction, and violence and injury prevention.
It will also include discussions on diet, exercise, immunization, and environmental health.

Appleby Horse Fair - June 2009
posted 13 Jul 2009, 13:49 by Stephen Hind [ updated 10 Aug 2009, 14:21 ]
Keith and Marion Bullock have kindly provided this report from the Appleby Horse Fair.
CGO's time at Appleby Horse Fair was very encouraging, even though it wasn't quite so busy as in previous years. There was a number of reasons for this. Firstly the weather was extremely cold and damp. Secondly there was a lot of trouble amongst the gypsies. A family feud seemed to have developed over the weeks leading up to the event. The police arrested about 50 people over the weekend, and sadly one man was killed as a result of being struck over the head with a hammer! We detected however that this only served to make people a lot more serious, and we had a number of excellent conversations amongst the gypsy folk, and the many visitors that flocked there to see the horses and the trading. Apart from manning the mobile unit, parked in the gateway of the Methodist church, members of the team also managed to visit a number of the gypsy encampments. We even sat around a camp fire drinking tea, and chatting.
Here are just a few of the contacts we made …
Just a few of the Contacts
Nicholas: A middle aged Irishman, who had travelled over for the Horse Fair. He was very friendly. He said that he'd been a Christian all his life, which meant that he had a wrong view of what a Christian was. He said he wasn't very religious although he'd been brought up a Roman Catholic. He was very willing to listen and took a GOJ and a number of different tracts. We felt he was challenged by what he'd heard and he admitted that he really would have to give more thought to spiritual things.
Glen: Glen was a local man, who lived in sheltered accommodation. He was a little on the simple side. He admitted that he had a sister who went to church. It turned out that one of the team with us knew his sister, and said that she was born again. It was good to be able to encourage Glen to listen more carefully to what his sister told him. he took a SOHCD because he said he liked to listen to his CD player at home. God can break through the barriers that this man has.
Sonny: Four gypsy lads approached us and we thought that were bent on trouble. They had that look about them!! How wrong we were. Three of these lads, who were actual Christians, but the fourth, Sonny, wasn't. It was great to encourage him to get right with the Lord. He knew what he had to do but didn't want to give up a life of sin. He said that he was "enjoying himself too much". He listened as we warned him of impending judgement if he failed to submit his life to Christ. He went a bit quiet, and his friends urged him to think again.
Paul: He was another local man, middle-aged, who had come to the church where we were based, thinking that a soup kitchen was on the go. It had been cancelled for that week. We had a nice chat with him, and with his limited ability, he managed to understand the basic idea of what it meant to be right with God. He took a SOHCD.
Colin: This elderly man, was a visitor, and just stopped to look at the literature on offer. At first he seemed to be quite sympathetic, saying he was a churchgoer. However when we began to get down to the challenge of the cross, and the fact that we were all sinners, he didn't like it one little bit!! He told us to "back off" saying that if we persisted in saying what we'd said, he would walk away. We managed to calm him down and get the conversation back onto a more friendly footing. However he did take a number of leaflets, and said he would read them. His sister wasn't much friendlier either.
Stuart: He was an elderly Irishman who thought that the Bible was really just picture language. We explained to him that there were things in the Bible that were pictures of what would happen, and proceeded to tell him about the Passover, and it's significance. He listened and we could tell he was quite intrigued by what he'd heard. The conversation really developed and we went on to talk about a creator God. Again he was quite fascinated by the views that we had, and said that he'd never really given it much thought. We gave him the book, "And God Said" which he was pleased to receive. He seemed to be quite an intelligent man, and we do believe he took on board a lot of what we'd said.
We also gave him a John's Gospel.
Christine and sister Sheila: Now this conversation was truly amazing, Various team members spoke to Christine first. She was a very talkative middle-aged lady, whose sister could hardly get a word in edgeways. It turned out that she was in spiritualism and went to a Spiritualist church. She was adamant that this was right and that she's found great comfort in it. We explained that just because she may have found comfort in it, that this didn't make it right. She was the sort of person that you could pretty much say anything to, and she would take it on the chin. It transpired that she had had a bad experience of some church, and this had caused her to turn to spiritualism for help during a crisis in her life. As the conversation developed she took more and more booklets from us. She kept saying that we could never change her, and we agreed with that, saying only God could. Even though she said that she wasn't about to convert, she still wanted the booklets and CD's. She said that she would definitely read them. The "banter" was very good, and we were able to convey the truth in a friendly, but emphatic way. Sheila, her sister, listened all the way through, and made the occasional comment. They both went away really challenged with the gospel. We urged them to get away from the dangerous things they were dabbling in.
Don: A gypsy man in his 60's who had come to Appleby to try and be reconciled to his wife, who he'd divorced 25 years before. There was every chance that this was going to happen. He was scrap metal trader, and extremely wealthy. He thought that all faiths led to God, but we managed to help him see the unreasonableness of that argument. It was a profitable conversation which ended with him taking a John's Gospel and a Tel-It tract based on the theme of horses and racing. He seemed quite appreciative of the talk, and we parted on very good terms. We wished him well with trying to get back with his former wife.
Jimmy: He was an very arrogant gypsy man, in his 40's who said he'd come to Appleby, from London, to have a "good time. He openly bragged about his sexual exploits!! We confronted him quite forcibly. His language was foul. Amazingly he didn't seem to resent what we said, but calmly listened. We told him about how much God hates sin, and that one day, unless he repented and turned to Christ, he would face the judgment of God. It was quite hard hitting, but in the end he actually thanked us for talking to him. He wasn't anywhere near as confident as he made out to be. A lonely, dissatisfied soul, who was trying to find some meaning to life. He took an Ultimate Questions and a John's Gospel.
Tony: A gypsy man who John Heron had spoken to, on a number of occasions, over the years, when he had witnessed during the Horse Fair. He had resisted the Lord. However this year, he was invited by a gypsy evangelist, to hear the gospel at Appleby Methodist. Tony was saved on the Sunday evening. We were able to visit him at his caravan, and enjoy a cuppa with him and various members of his family. He was able to tell us of how the Lord had dealt with him. See photo above of man sitting on caravan step. This is Tony!

0 to 400mph in 2 seconds? Russian Railways eyes supersonic Hyperloop technology
© Steve Marcus © Reuters
Russian Railways is considering using super-fast Hyperloop technology, particularly for transporting freight. According to RIA Novosti, Russian Railways and Hyperloop One are discussing possible cooperation.
"We, as a large global company, are, of course, interested in the advanced innovative technologies. Our specialists are in a working group with Hyperloop One to study its technology. Russian Railways is, in particular, interested in the application of Hyperloop One in cargo transportation. However, it's early to make any conclusions," the Russian company said in a statement.
Based on an idea first put forward by billionaire Elon Musk in 2013, the open-source Hyperloop technology is being developed by a number of companies, university students and independent engineers. The technology intends to transport people and goods in capsules through a global network of tubes at speeds up to 800mph (1280kph).
In 2013, Musk estimated the Los Angeles to San Francisco route would cost $6-7.5 billion to construct and expected it to have a $20 one-way ticket price.
Using extremely low air pressure, Hyperloop will be able to transport passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in about 35 minutes. Now, the trip takes an hour by plane, five and a half hours driving, seven hours by bus, and 12 hours by train.
WATCH! Test successful! #hyperloop#8NNpic.twitter.com/sN7uFxmGQe
— Patrick Walker (@PatrickWalker) May 11, 2016
Last week, Hyperloop successfully made a test run in North Las Vegas. A bare-metal sled rocketed down a half-mile track at 330mph in an open air propulsion test.
The run was only two seconds, but the developers said it's enough. "This is about validating the hardware and software. We're aiming to hit 400 mph in two seconds," said Hyperloop One cofounder and chief technology officer Brogan BamBrogan last week.
Critics of Hyperloop say the invention will be too expensive to apply it for widespread use. MIT scientists working on it said there's no problem with reaching the aimed speed, but there's a challenge with slowing down.

Rev. Dr. Robert W. Edgar Arrested at Sudan Protest
Washington, D.C., July 14, 2004 -- In an act of civil disobedience and protest of the genocide unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, the Rev. Dr. Robert W. Edgar, General Secretary of the National Council of Churches USA, was arrested outside of the Sudanese Embassy here today. Dr. Edgar presented himself for arrest as part of a campaign to call attention to what the United Nations calls the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today and to mobilize U.S. and world action to stop it.
The campaign, coordinated by Christian Solidarity International, includes daily noontime demonstrations in front of the Sudanese Embassy that began June 30. It is pressing Congress to pass House Concurrent Resolution 467 declaring genocide in Darfur, Sudan, and calling on the Bush Administration to lead an international intervention, impose targeted sanctions on the Sudanese government and establish a humanitarian aid fund.
At today's protest, about 50 participants, including many children, marched outside of the embassy to demand that the government of Sudan stop attacks by its military and proxy militia against civilians in Darfur. The Rev. Dr. Walter Fauntroy, Pastor of New Bethel Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., and a former member of Congress, led the demonstration, which ended shortly after Dr. Edgar and Dr. Carole Burnett, Professor of Ancient and Medieval Christianity at the Ecumenical Institute of Theology in Baltimore, were arrested. Drs. Edgar and Burnett were taken to a local police station, fined and released.
According to the United Nations, tens of thousands of people have died and more than one million people in the region have been displaced in an apparent attempt at ethnic cleansing in Sudanbs Darfur region. Refugees are living in makeshift camps, where mass rape of women and girls is common, living conditions are deplorable and diseases such as cholera, meningitis and polio threaten to take the lives of infants, children and the elderly. If nothing is done to prevent it, countless thousands will die in the weeks and months ahead.
"It is clear that a genocide is unfolding in Sudan," Dr. Edgar said today. "In April 2004, as the world commemorated the tragic Rwandan genocide of 1994, we all said we would never allow this to happen again. Yet we are faced today with another horror that is clearly preventable. The National Council of Churches joins with people of goodwill throughout the world who want to end the needless deaths of countless innocent Sudanese citizens.
"Getting arrested for this cause is the very least one could do to bring attention to the urgency of this situation. The solution rests at the door of the government of Sudan -- and also at the feet of the international community. We must face the fact that time grows dangerously short for action. As our governments hesitate to do what is right, the loss of precious lives accelerates with each passing week."
Dr. Burnett commented, "No thinking and feeling person can be indifferent to the magnitude of the crisis in the Sudan." She prayed alongside Dr. Edgar as the two were arrested by the Secret Service. Congressman Charles Rangel (NY) was arrested yesterday and the Rev. Fauntroy last week. Additional acts of disobedience are planned.

Love and its sometime attendant, marriage, has been much on mind of late. My brother and his long-term (very long-term. We do not rush these things in our family) got married the other weekend. The sun shone, there was dancing, and twinkling lights, and a lakeside blessing, and so much joy and love. It made me think about love: how do you know? What makes us so certain? And marriage: why, in our secular age, does it still matter?
Do I think it does? Well – not unlike my brother and his wife – my husband and I were together for 10 years before we married. So for us, marriage wasn't a leap of faith or hope – but a simple statement of love. And I was surprised to find it did feel different; that not a day goes by when I don't feel happier knowing we are a team. That there is no one else in the world I would rather be with (wake up next to; talk to; eat with; laugh and argue with; curl up next to at night..).
"I sort of knew the moment I met my hubby that he was The One…at Hammersmith School Disco night (sadly this institution no longer exists!) He was the leader of the pack: so confident, funny, interested in everyone and full of life. I just wanted to be in his company. He apparently knew I was the one the first day I started at his work (bizarrely, he loved my walk).
"Marriage is the ultimate commitment. You may have lived with more than one person, you may have loved more than one person, you may have had long-term relationships with more than one person, you'll almost certainly have had other boyfriends or girlfriends, but you hope only to marry one person. Therefore, getting married elevates your relationship above all those that have come before.
"I had never had the slightest interest in marriage, we had been together 10 years and were already committed to one another (emotionally and financially). I'd have happily carried on as we were, as there was no reason to change things as far as I could see. When he proposed, I didn't NOT want to marry him and I certainly didn't want us to break up, so I guess my response was, why not? I'm still not sure what prompted him to ask, but these days I'm pleased he did!
People used to say to me "It does change things" and that always terrified me; I didn't want things to change! So I was all geared up for some awful seismic shift the day after our wedding…which didn't come. But gradually I came to understand what people meant: I felt like we were more of a team, I did get a little thrill from calling him my husband, something I had never anticipated. The last thing I expected was to genuinely love being married, but I really do. I guess it consolidated everything we felt for one another. And I think it's important that I definitely didn't take getting married lightly – in fact, when I got stressed out it was never about favours or flowers, but because I felt like we really had to take this seriously and not just do it because it's what you do after a certain length of time/at a certain age.
"I always wanted to get married. Despite becoming more feminist as I get older, I'd always pictured myself having kids with my husband; I've never taken his name, though.
"I honestly never thought I was that bothered about getting married; I was never one of those little girls who dreamed about her wedding day. But I definitely knew when my husband proposed that I wanted to say yes and to be married to cement our relationship. I can honestly say that our wedding day was the best day of my life – I felt glowingly happy inside. After many years of knowing each other and not getting together, immediately from our first "date", we both knew this was it, or rather I did (he apparently knew and told his friends that I was the one years earlier!). I knew he was the one that first weekend: the way he made me feel, the way we "get" each other and the way we fit together so well.
We'd love to know your thoughts: are you married? Does it matter? Does it make a difference? Do you wish you weren't?!
Marriage isn't a contract its a vow and in making that vow you are placing yourself outside time and change.

I recently listened to Randy Klein of Crestron Electronics talk about Crestron's growth over the years (which by the way, is impressive). He touched on "increasing" in size versus "growing" in size. What a great point he made! Increasing in size may be simply adding more to your organization, typically in sales, however growth is what you do organizationally to prepare for increase.
Growing an organization may mean adding skills you did not have in the past or maturing your software systems and processes to handle increase. In some cases, you may leave behind things that won't be able to handle increase.
Many companies are measured by the revenue they generate — with my company being no exception. Usually, what is actually reported is the company's increase, not their growth. There is nothing wrong with talking about increase and celebrating when you are able to sustain it or being critical if you have a decrease. But from my experience, at the helm of a company that has doubled in size in the past four years, the message of growth versus increase is acute.
Companies will undoubtedly hit obstacles as they increase, and those obstacles require organizational growth to overcome. As a company increases, management structures have to be analyzed, and adapted. Software systems will become stretched thin and in many cases replaced. Some of the people who helped the company increase in size won't get you to where you need to go next, and that's a tough one to swallow. Processes have to be reviewed — the way you've always done it may work in some cases, but in others, adaptation has to happen.
In this context, I like to think about the car I drove in high school, a Z28 Camaro. I loved that car and was really proud of it. However, if that car was my primary transportation today, I'd have a problem. Today, I'm married, have five children, and haul a lot of stuff daily. Can you imagine handling all of that increase if I still drove that Camaro I was so proud of?
I would encourage all business leaders to contemplate increase versus growth, and to focus on them simultaneously. By the way, I believe Crestron has both grown, and increased! Thanks Randy for the wisdom!


Yoga is a type of fitness activity that is great not only for the body but also for the mind and soul. Yoga opens doorways to building strength, achieving mindfulness, and getting in touch with yourself and your body. There are unlimited ways to practice yoga, and there is no such thing as a right or wrong way to practice- do what feels right for you. There are many variables that influence the way you practice yoga; from the gear you use, to the setting in which you practice, to the poses and flows you accomplish.
Block- this helps with poses that would otherwise require a deeper stretch than you feel comfortable with. Use a block for support and to help ease into those difficult poses. We use this one from lululemon.
Strap- this also helps with easing yourself into those deeper poses that require a little more flexibility. Remember to know your limits so you do not hurt yourself! We also grabbed ours at lululemon.
Mat- these are self-explanatory! You can get mats that are pretty inexpensive (I claimed a free one from a cereal box once!) and they work just fine. If you want something a little more durable, though, try one of these Prana mats available for purchase at Mountain Equipment Co-op.
Towels- why would you need a towel for yoga? If you do hot yoga, you will know why. A larger towel that extends to the length of your yoga mat catches sweat and keeps your feet from sliding off the mat (yeah, you get that sweaty!). A smaller towel to wipe your face throughout class is handy too. You can get these straight from Prana.
Clothing– yoga pants are everywhere these days, and they aren't being worn just for yoga! Although you can find yoga clothes in pretty much any clothing store, The Elephant Pants are my favorites because they are made sustainably in a non-exploitive work environment, and they help save elephants!
In class. Moksha Hot Yoga is our favorite yoga studios to attend, as they are super friendly and offer great classes for all skill levels. Haven't tried it before? Karma classes are only $5 on Friday nights for beginners- what's the karma? Your $5 goes to a local charity!
At home. Picture this: gross weather, broke student, no time. Ten minutes in your bedroom or living room is all you need for a successful practice. Make sure to sufficiently clear the space so you don't hurt yourself!
Outdoors. We love yoga on the beach, where you can enjoy the sounds of crashing waves and seabirds. Or in a grassy area in your local park, so if you lose your balance your fall is soft. We love Instagram user @taigenandreayoga- she is so creative in the locations she chooses for her practice!
When I practice alone, I typically follow a YouTube video (I love this one!) or I just do the poses that I like and feel comfortable with from memory. This can be tricky- it is hard to remember poses and the safe way to accomplish them, but this comes with time.
When I practice in class, my favorite is Moksha Flow.
Favorite pose? Definitely vrksasana, a.k.a. tree pose. It makes me feel so rooted (pardon the pun!) and balanced.

Q: Prometheus invalid metric type "status=\"available\"} gauge" + 401 Trying to monitor with Prometheus, but cannot get /_admin/metrics/v2/ to work with jwt (I've confirmed the token matches web, tested with postman). So I've enabled the arango-prometheus-exporter service, and can read metrics from the mount point /metrics.
However, Prometheus is now reporting invalid metric type "status=\"available\"} gauge" in the targets list page, and the endpoint is shown as down in red.
I am unsure of 3 things:

*

*Why do I get a 401 not authorized to execute this request when using a valid jwt bearer token,

*Why am i getting invalid metric type "status=\"available\"} gauge" for the prometheus target endpoint using the foxx-service mounted at /metrics,

*Should i even be using the foxx-service, or the internal admin metrics url?

I am using the latest as of a couple days ago, ArangoDB v3.10.1, Prometheus v2.41.0-rc.0 (and Grafana v9.3.2 (21c1d14e91) but i haven't gotten that far with ArangoDB yet).  All on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS.
I am currently successfully monitoring Prometheus, Node exporter and RabbitMQ.
UPDATE: I should be using the ArangoDB metrics rather than Foxx.  More info on issues using built-in metrics:
I have generated a secret from arangodb on command line using arangodb create jwt-secret, then used arangodb auth header --auth.jwt-secret secret.jwt to generate the auth header string.  I copy the token to /etc/prometheus/prometheus.token and update prometheus.yml to:
  - job_name: "arangodb"
    scrape_interval: 5s
    metrics_path: /_admin/metrics/v2
    bearer_token_file: /etc/prometheus/prometheus.token
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:8529"]

Then i restart prometheus to pick up the changes, and in the Targets tab i see

I tested by running as sudo to generate the secret from ArangoDB, then sudo to generate the Bearer Token, but still the same result.
However, if I copy the token from the jwt key from the Application tab in devtools from the ArangoDB site and paste it into Postman Authorisation section under Bearer Token and make a GET request to http://172.31.245.140:8529/_admin/metrics/v2/ it does work.
So I copied the same token from website login to /etc/prometheus/prometheus.token, restart Prometheus and now its working.  But, it will only last until the web token times out. <- And confirmed, jwt token has timed out and Prometheus is showing "server returned HTTP status 401 Unauthorized" again.
Am I missing something?
UPDATE 2 - I can connect using basic auth in the prometheus config.
So this works:
  - job_name: "arangodb"
    scrape_interval: 5s
    metrics_path: /_admin/metrics/v2
    #bearer_token_file: /etc/prometheus/prometheus.token
    basic_auth:
      username: root
      password: the_password
    static_configs:
      - targets: ["localhost:8529"]

I didn't try password_file instead, but that would at the least remove password from the config file.  I'm ok with this for now since it will be locked down, but i would rather use token auth.

Destin Christmas Parade: Retired captain, longtime resident Tommy Browning is grand marshal
Tina Harbuck
The Destin Log
He's been a captain for many years, but never a marshal.
Tommy Browning, the retired captain of the charter boat Finest Kind and longtime Destin resident, will serve as this year's grand marshal for the Destin Christmas Parade set to roll out at 10 a.m. Dec. 12.
The theme for the 36th annual parade is "Joy to the World."
Browning, along with help from his son, Tommy Lee, have brought a little joy this year with lighted crosses they have built for those around town to display in their yards.
For more than 25 years, Tommy and Janie Browning have displayed a lighted wooden cross on their dock overlooking Spring Lake during the Christmas season.
"It just looks good," said the 84-year-old Tommy.
"And it reminds people of the true meaning of Christmas," Janie added.
However, this year when the coronavirus hit and things took a turn for the worse, the Brownings decided to leave the cross up to spread a little light and hope.
"We left it up all year on account of all this coronavirus stuff. ... It's been a bad year," Tommy said.
It didn't take long for the cross to get noticed and people started inquiring about getting a lighted cross for their home.
Building the crosses was a two-man project for Tommy and Tommy Lee.

Between the two of them they have built about 100 crosses that are displayed all around Destin.
"After I got the hang of it, it took about 30 minutes (to build)," Tommy said.
"All I hear is the pow, pow, pow," Janie said of them stapling the lights to the crosses.
Although the crosses are a reminder of Christmas, Tommy said his fondest memories of Christmas were when his mother was alive.
"When we had mother we always had a good Christmas," he said.
Janie said her most memorable one was when they had their first baby, Tommy Lee, who was born Dec. 3.
"That Christmas was very special because we thought God has finally blessed us with a child," she said.

Some of Tommy's earliest memories of Christmas in Destin were at the old Destin Community Center with Elisha Marler playing Santa Claus and handing out gifts to the children.
As for this year's Christmas parade and serving as grand marshal, "I'm looking forward to it," Tommy said.
"It's just a Destin tradition," Janie said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of people. I just hope it ain't too cold," Tommy added.
The parade will begin at the Downtown Destin Shopping Center and travel west along Harbor Boulevard (U.S. 98) to Stahlman Avenue. Spectators are asked to stand on the north side of Harbor Boulevard to watch the parade.
City officials also are encouraging those who attend to:
Wear a mask/face covering.
Maintain a physical distance of at least 6 feet between individuals not within the same household.
Limit spectator groups to no more than eight people.
If you are sick, exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with a person suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19, stay home.
Browning said he thinks Destin will have a good turnout for the parade, despite the virus.
"People are ready to get out. There's plenty of room for somebody to stay away from somebody else. And they'll be outside," he said.


If you have to execute fixes on your BMW Z9 Gran Turismo Convertible then it will always be a good plan to have access to a Workshop Manual to use as reference if you want to know easy methods to remove a specific part much like the Door and match it again properly.
BMW Z9 Gran Turismo Convertible Workshop Manuals offers you special diagnostic guidelines for the car so if something is playing up it can help you determine what the issue is and ways to resolve it. You can then determine if this can be done on your own or in the event the job is simply too big you are able to make a reservation for your Z9 Gran Turismo Convertible in to a trusted mechanic.


It's September and the sun is still shining but I'm so sad summer is almost over. I hope this weather sticks around for a while though and make up for all the rain we've had the past few summers! How is it September already? It's just days away now until I move back to uni. The past four months have flown by so fast, it's frightening.
I'm so into co-ords. I've bought so many this summer, there are so many I need to feature on my blog yet. Keep an eye out!

Q: Had 2 big projects A,B. where A and B shares common code in the Project C , Structure those projects in TFS with GIT Problem with Commits to Visual Studio Team Services via GIT

we had two big projects lets Say A and B, and those two Projects A and
  B uses(Refers) code from the Project C(Common).

The project structure is, all those three projects belongs to same parent directory(sibling folders).
When we upload this source code to the Visual Studio Team Services we creted 3 TeamProjects and each folder belongs to each Team Project.
Problem:- when we open the solution of project A and made changes to project C(because it was referenced to the Project A) and did a  Commit to Project A but the Project C wasn't showing those changes in the TFS commit.
Need a Solution for the Structure in the Visual Studio Team Services /GIT

A: We used to have similar problems until we moved to using Nuget to manage shared code and dependencies.  Nuget offers versioning, dependency trees and a centralized store.  Its really easy to create packages and share them once you spend some time with it.  Check it out
https://docs.nuget.org/
