Here is a pretty good commentary.
Also, Russia AWACS (A-50U) have been seen in the skies over Syria. That provides Russia with a quantum leap in the detection of low-flying (cruise missiles) and low-RCS (stealth) objects.
England ain't so bad – most people are really nice…but I did write this..after the gig in my local pub tonight. It did not get published – so far as I can see….
I may be a bit slow, but I could see this bloke through my front window of our house..and I could see him taking down the registration number of my car parked in my front drive…but he doesn't stop there…he comes and knocks on my front door..
and then this bloke turns up at my local pub – and he looks exactly like Craig Murray – I said to him nice tie – but he didn't quite have the accent.
However, I did shake his hand…and said I am Tony…He said his name was Steve..but we did not speak for very long.
And I am probably still banned.
Not a Fascist Police State yet.
US pilots in thier flying coffins should better stay away from Russian no-fly zones.
"Despite such limitations, Russia came out on top. According to Karamarenko, during the 32 months that Russian forces were in Korea, they downed 1250 enemy planes. "Of that number the (Russian) corps' anti-aircraft artillery shot down 153 planes and the pilots killed 1097," he writes. In comparison, the Soviets lost 319 MiGs and Lavochkin La-11s.
The air battle of Black Tuesday would forever change the USAF's conduct of strategic aerial bombardment. The B-29s would no longer fly daytime sorties into MiG Alley. North Korean towns and villages would no longer be carpet bombed and napalmed by the Americans. Thousands of civilians were out of the firing line.
The pindo claims about their arial prowness over Korea rival those of nazi propaganda (which is still promoted as fact in american "historical" nonsense related to The Great Patriotic War, btw), according to pindo propaganda, they shot down more MiGs than were actually there.
I don't know if anyone can change anything. Maybe we have always lived the same lives. There was never a start (except from your own perception – in your mother's womb when you became aware of your thumb. When you die you go to heaven – because once you are dead – it doesn't matter if time seems to go on to infinity – you are dead..But if time is cyclic – then maybe our theory is correct…So treat your life as if it is once in a lifetime whilst it seems like the first time – but maybe there never was a first time. So just be nice to people. You might have already lived this life forever and always will.
I did physics at school with my mate Paul and we came up with this theory when we were 16 years old – both looking at the girl of our dreams in the library. We both knew we stood no chance. We were both far too shy. So I joined the film club – and that was even more embarrassing. We were all 16 year old kids. Some of us are still alive and kicking.
"Despite the rain and chilly weather, several hundred young and older people, children and veterans took part in the event. The march was attended by people from the United States, Eastern Europe, Russia and former Soviet republics.
"I am holding the photos of my father Viktor Konusov who fought in the WWII and came back, his brother Alexander who went missing but most likely was killed, and my grandfather Ivan Zlobin who also went missing and we think he was killed. I came today because it is a big important holiday for everyone in Russia and abroad, who remember history and don't want it to repeat," Rozhke said.
"This is my father Frank Gretz. I am here because he was in the war, he was a soldier, and because I want to rekindle an alliance between American and Russian people. I think we have a lot in common," Gallager said.
The march, held in the US capital for the second time, was accompanied by the songs of the WWII period sung by the participants to the music played by a bayan player.
The group was headed by the WWII veteran and walked from the White House to the World War II Memorial where they laid flowers and wreaths.
People were carrying photos of their ancestors who participated in the war.
The event concluded with a wartime songs concert performed by the children of the Russian language schools both in Russian and English.
This year, 22 US cities are hosting the "Immortal Regiment" marches, including New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago.
The Immortal Regiment is a patriotic initiative that commemorates those who fought against Nazi Germany during World War II in marches held across Russia and other countries on May 9, celebrated as Victory Day in Russia and the former Soviet republics. During the marches, people carry photographs of their ancestors who participated in the war.
The first US march was held in the city of New York on May 3, 2015.
Due to the influence of domestic nazi promoters and associates (this includes the rockefeller, bush, kennedy families, plus many more of the oligarchies ruling the usa) and that of zionazi freakshow that have now usurped these, pindos have little idea what happened beyond Normandy and "miraclusly" america defeated germany about a year later.
Two reasons why americans are kept as mushrooms about WW2 in the west. First, it was a continuation of the fascists trying to defeat the challenge to their rule in the USSR, and, 2nd, the pindo establishment is essentially fascist (a lot of nazi "thinking" was basically a 20th century "modernization" of the american slavocracy that pindo bubbas are so proud of), the nazis embodied what "america is made of", literally, among those ruling the country and the scum doing the pr.
Big deal. To a Pindo (or, more generally, a Westerner), 20+ million killed Russians come nowhere close to the tragedy of one (1) killed piece of Euro-trash from either side of the Atlantic.
Weibo news reports that Turkey lose big against Kurds with US on Kurds side. Anyone has information.
Disappointing, but not unexpected. All polemics, zero information.
– Western Syria will gradually move toward reconciliation, al Qaeda affiliates will either have to intermingle back into the Syrian society or will be hunt down to the last.
This is by far the weakest link of all, there will be a lot of ceasefire violations and provocations. Without any airforce flying over the 4 zones, the risk for a CW false flag vanished. No more excuses for the US and the coalition of killing.
– The US and it allies aim to control all northern, eastern and southeastern Syria, this control would allow the dreamt pipeline to go through the new added lands. This plan seemed to be at serious risk due to the focus for the SAA and allies to storm central, eastern and southeastern Syria and get the control of the Iraq border back. To early to anticipate the US reaction, but they were caught off guard with this one. On top of that the Iraq Government announced yesterday that the US troops will be out of Iraq after ISIS is defeated, double khara in the the US fan right now.
– Israel was aiming for additional safe zone (annexation as the Golan) in southern Syria, this move is now totally dead.
– Turkey regime, which supported all sorts of terrorists in Syria, had to save face, the newly formed safe zones was its way out. Still the turkish regime can surprise us all with its traditional backstabbing.
– After the US criminal airstrike toward al Shayrat airbase, Russia decided to change the game, and get officially involved on the ground to block the US attempt in eastern Syria, but to do that it had to make sure western Syria would be a bit safer so its assets would not be at risk and at the same time the SAA and allies could concentrate their best troops toward east and the Iraq border.
– SDF in the north will have to make some decisions soon, from its arrogant position toward the Syrian Government to some sort of reconciliation, with or without the US agreement. The US has also to deal with Turkish demand on YPG/PKK.
– Kurds factions in Iraq are about to get into a nasty civil war, Barzani may finally lose it dictatorship, the stronger the Iraq army and Government, the weaker Barzani will be.
2) Central Homs and Eastern Hama – Eliminate ISIS threat in its closest presence to western Syria, also block any further move from SDF south of Tabqa.
3) Der ez Zor – lift the siege and eliminate ISIS presence in Der ez Zor and Hasaka Province – there will be possible conflict with SDF's expansion since one of the objectives is to control the Euphrates river.
4) SE Syria (al Bukamal and iraq border) – control the border and secure the desert from terrorists, both ISIS and NFSA US backed terrorists.
Baqqara and Shaytat tribes – locals from Homs and Der ez Zor Provinces.
Besides tanks, artillery and armoured vehicles, we will most likely see airborne operations with behind the enemy lines attacks to disrupt and speed up the liberation of the siege of Der ez Zor, for that special forces will be used as storming troopers as well as militias to hold the gained ground.
No Fly, now means "No Fly"??? UNSC approved?

Starmer's Labour has been vague, without strategy and unelectable. The election results are no surprise. | Opinion
Labour's dire performances in the local elections are merely a symptom of a much deeper-rooted problem
ByAdam Millington 7 May 2021 18:37

It is safe to say that the Labour party is in a worrying state, the results of the recent local elections in which it has dropped a number of seats were predictable, to say the least.
The traditional heartlands have been the biggest loss, with the loss to the Tories in the Hartlepool by-election an embarrassment, and Sir Keir Starmer — at least with his current tactics — is far from the right man to lead the opposition.
For those engrossed in political commentary, it's easy to question why a Prime Minister who according to the Daily Mail said he would rather 'let the bodies pile high' than face a third lockdown has received the level of support he has, but doing that misses the point almost entirely.
There are two types of voters in this country: those who subscribe to Politico and watch Marr, and normal people. It is the latter category that wins elections, and the latter category which is being forgotten about time and time again.
Poor locally
Labour have lost six seats in my local council area of Oldham compared to 2019, but the situation is far more complex than Brexit voters feeling closer ties to the Conservative Party.
Many voters from across the political spectrum have found themselves fed up with how the party was running the town on a local level, never mind in Westminster.
The strategy across the country should have been to look at these local issues and see how best to tackle them, rather than prioritising a national focus.
Andy Burnham is perhaps the best leftwing example of how caring for the area you represent can result in votes. His prioritisation of the needs of Greater Manchester, particularly in his now-infamous response to the area being placed into Tier 3 lockdown, won the support of people from across the political spectrum.
Tangible results get support. In Greater Manchester, buses have now been brought under the council's control and the local Metrolink service has been extended. They may seem small fry in comparison to the politics that has made up the majority of our lives for the past couple of years, but as they have done in the past, they win votes.
Poor nationally
Westminster-centric politics alienates the key people who made up what was once dubbed the 'red wall' on which the red paint is slowly being replaced by blue — and small bits of yellow and green. Is it any wonder that people decide they don't want to vote for a party when it doesn't represent them?
The Tory party, despite its horrendous running of the country, has proved to be a well-oiled electioneering machine. It worked with Cummings at the helm and is now slowly picking off red voters from former heartlands.
Labour's strategy has been poor at best and has struggled to entice working-class voters. The Tories have found a way to make all the right promises while they haven't.
Sir Kier has a long time until the next general election, he needs to fix the downturn quickly.
In a statement on Friday, he said: "We have changed as a party but we haven't set out a strong enough case to the country.
"Very often we have been talking to ourselves instead of to the country and we have lost the trust of working people, particularly in places like Hartlepool.
"I intend to do whatever is necessary to fix that."
And lost the trust of working people Labour have. If they fail to win back those voters who have seen themselves coaxed in by the Conservatives, then the future does not look any brighter.
Those ordinary working people will be key to any upturn in support. The focus has to be on pleasing them if the party is to improve its fortunes.
This improvement cannot be done with Westminster focus groups. The policies need to be written from speaking to the people in these communities and they need to be clear enough. Dominic Cummings was ridiculed for his reliance on three-word statements, but they worked. If it takes too long to explain a vague policy, then the average voter will lose interest.
There's three years to go until the 2024 General Election. That's plenty of time to turn things around, but the gears need to be put in motion and promises held.

Frederick Leboyer (born November 1, 1918) is a French obstetrician, best known for his 1975 book, Birth Without Violence[1], which popularized gentle birthing techniques, in particular, the practice of immersing newly-born infants in a small tub of warm water — known as a "Leboyer bath" — to help ease the transition from the womb to the outside world. He graduated from the University of Paris School of Medicine.

Q: File Access Permissions Please can someone confirm that '000' access permissions for admin files is secure?
I want to securely store private data on the server.

A: If file has permission 000,
then mathematically it means that 666-000=666 permission means only accessed by super user but will not get execute permissions.
Owner of that file can access that file but after the permissions being changed.

A: 000 won't give anyone or anything access, including you, or even root.

This paper presents Pre-stabilized Energy-optimal Model Predictive Control which is developed based on the existing Energy-Optimal Model Predictive Control (EOMPC) approach. EOMPC is a control method to realize energy-optimal point-to-point motions within a required motion time. In order to obtain a sufficiently large prediction time horizon with a limited number of decision variables resulting in less computational load and solving the optimization problem within the chosen sampling time, non-equidistant time intervals are used over the prediction horizon. This approach is called blocking. However blocking yields a non-smooth optimal solution and as a result the energy-optimality is only approximately achieved. In order to overcome this drawback, this paper proposes a pre-stabilization strategy to reduce the computational load of EOMPC. Pre-stabilization uses deadbeat state feedback to modify the system models employed in the formulation of MPC and yields a much sparser optimization problem. The significant advantage of the pre-stabilization on computational speed of MPC optimization problems is clarified. The computational efficiency and performance of EOMPC with pre-stabilization is validated through numerical simulations.

Actually from a historical perspective the RNC candidate will probably win. Even ignoring history, obama's persistent struggle to get past 46% approval means the RNC probably win. Speaking as a pretty liberal political nerd, the next president will probably be a republican.
I mean I'm no expert but do you think someone named Bush would get elected?
See, that goes back to what I was talking about a moment ago. Bush can win. Arguably, he even should win. But his last name being what it is, he can't have his money dry up. He needs that money to keep flowing and he needs a lot of it to make sure Hillary can't pull off an upset.
That moment when you're just drunk enough to be aware of it and a fly starts buzzing around the room, so you start seriously trying to kill it, but it only shows up once you relax. Whats the point of all these goddamn spiders in the house, if they can't get rid of this fucker?

"In 2004, HP fell dramatically short of its predicted third-quarter earnings, and Fiorina fired three executives during a 5 AM telephone call.[48] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-johnson-48) In early January 2005, the Hewlett-Packard board of directors discussed with Fiorina a list of issues that the board had regarding the company's performance and disappointing earning reports.[9] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-stanford-9)[10] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-PuiWing-10)[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-Burrows-11) The board proposed a plan to shift her authority to HP division heads, which Fiorina resisted.[11] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-Burrows-11) A week after the meeting, the confidential plan was leaked to the Wall Street Journal.[78] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-78)Less than a month later, the board brought back Tom Perkins (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Perkins_(businessman)) and forced Fiorina to resign as chair and chief executive officer of the company.[13] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-hpresignation-13)
The company's stock jumped on news of her departure, adding almost three billion dollars to the value of HP in a single day.[79] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-79)[80] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carly_Fiorina#cite_note-80)"
The difference between HP with her as CEO and without is that without her it's worth three billion more. With no other changes.

too late you're forever a big meanie who confused me for someone else and then paniced by making fun of CRUOR
fiorinas PP answer is getting a lot of traction so far apparently
i want to see if trump manages to defy conventional wisdom and increase his lead, again

I'm not old enough to go out on my own and walking along the beach at night may be comforting at times but it's not worth getting killed by a tsunami.

It's pretty cute that you're being considerate of derailing a thread in the 7th Seika.
But yes Break when you see this you really need to uh, think twice, maybe thrice, about posting lewd stuff or anything that could even tangibly be a spoiler for something.
I know datamined stuff being spoilers is actually kinda dumb but there are people rather rightfully irked at the leaked or datamined stuff getting posted willy nilly.
And ofc once you're back I'm gonna VM or PM you a link to this post : |
I mean I genuinely dont care in the slightest about GO or CCC spoilers or whatever else he likes to post, but I find his general attitude lacking and I could really really do without the naked prepubescent little girls.
It's a thread with an actual purpose; it's mostly in the 7th just because it's a miscellaneous topic without a better subforum for it.
Anyway, I picked out the offences that are a matter of public record (i.e. not private warnings; if you were dedicated enough, you could find them yourselves) from Break's rap sheet:
July 2013: Spoilers
Sept 2013: Spoilers
Oct 2013: Spoilers
May 2014: Unspoiled NSFW
Aug 2014: Unspoiled NSFW
Nov 2014: Encouraging ban evasion
Nov 2014: Spoilers
April 2015: Spoilers
May 2015: Persistent derailing
June 2015: Unspoiled NSFW
Aug 2015: Persistent derailing
Can you see why we aren't inclined to let spoiler tag failures go at this point?
I have no problem with being a weirdo or posting porn or loli or CCC/GO spoilers.
But there's always the chance that Break could spoil something that actually becomes genuinely ruined by being spoiled so I'm always very careful to kind of let my eyes slide past his posts.
I don't trust that lad.

It's harder to spit out phlegm and smog stuck in your throat than it is to spit out water.

See, the thing is, it's not impressive. By the age of ten, every other kid in the UK at the age of ten (and approximately all the Welsh ones) has looked up "what's the longest place name?" and tried to learn how to say it. He's probably been able to do that for twenty years, and at least one of the studio crew could likely do it just as well.
I'm here to take the magic out of things.
Let's burn Seika at the stake. The magic must remain.
Can you say it Seika?
Nope, it's mostly just weeb things
I'll stop having fun now.
Its actually because the guy is Welsh.
I can see partner being okay. But kids or friends you never talked porn with would be kinda weird.
I can't do it so I find it interesting. That's all there is to it really.
Also I'm easy to impress.
I memorised Latin declensions instead.
(Actually, if I remember the IT lesson where this happened for our school correctly, I was actually trying to do the basic HTML that the lesson had started off on, while the teacher and the rest of the class had got bored and moved onto pronouncing long Welsh village names. Since my recollection of that HTML is hazy at best, maybe I'd have been better off with the Welsh, since apparently it would have been more useful).
Now I'm getting flashbacks of learning fourth declension nouns on a minibus. Thanks.
Well if you consider impressing me more useful, then yes.

Nah, I think I'll just write some Legend of Korra stuff. Be back in an hour or so.
'kay, have a good time.
Or Attack on Titan. Something for one of my non Fate fandoms.
I miss tofu.
Can you not get it?
There's some at the local grocery store but it's sorta suspicious. It's a western brand and I think they added stuff for some reason.
Ideally, I'd go to an Asian market, but idk how well that'd go mostly because I'd be waiting in the sun for a while for the buses to come and stuff, and idk if that'll turn the tofu bad in the heat.
Fucked up how anyone expects me, a humble pile of trifle, to do human activities
I bring a bag that I store ice in and put my groceries there to keep them cooled, you could try that.
Some highschool friends invited me out drinking next week, after not having spoken face to face in a few years. Still deciding whether to go or continue my anti-social hermit steak.

"I am racist," said Umno Supreme Council member Tan Sri Annuar Musa, when trying to justify the racial overtones of today's "red shirt" rally in Kuala Lumpur.
However, he stressed that his "racism was based on Islam".
Anuar, who was the last speaker at today's "Himpunan Rakyat Bersatu", said racism was allowed in Islam, except when it involved oppressing others.
The Malay community in Malaysia was the most tolerant ethnic group in the world, Anuar said, adding that in Indonesia, ethnic Chinese Indonesians were not even allowed to use Chinese names.
"I am racist but it's racism based on Islam. Racism is allowed in Islam," Annuar told reporters at the end of the rally at Padang Merbok, which he claimed attracted 250,000 people.
Annuar then quoted a hadith (a saying of the Prophet) on assobiyah (Arabic term for pride in one's tribe) which he interpreted as justifying racism.
Critics of today's rally have said it could incite ethnic tensions for its insistence on defending Malay supremacy and honour.
No good story has started with "so one night I didn't drink" and ended with "and then I got home safely".
Make your life worth remembering. Even if in doing so you forget the night entirely.
That's a legitimately tough question, everyone is so fucking flawed.

Home Our story: Summer All Year Long Collections Which Vilebrequin is made for you?
Virtually unchanged since Fred Prysquel created it in 1971, the MOOREA is available in sizes ranging from 2 Years Old to 3XL. It can cover the entire lifespan of a man, and also make it possible for him and his son to wear the exact same swimsuit.
All the trunks come with two metal eyelets in the back that allow air to escape, so they never inflate underwater.
The drawstring aglets in zamac are embossed with the name of the house.
The MINISE, which is more fitted, has long been rumored to enhance the wearer's backside better than any other swimsuit in the market. We tend to agree with that assessment.
The MOORISE is a superflex MOOREA. It keeps its iconic cut and borrow the MERISE modernity.
It has an elastic waistband, a drawstring, side pockets and a back pocket with Velcro flap.
To feel free as a bird! Its short and stretchy cut offers great freedom of movement. A minimalist version of MOORISE, shorter and without pockets, designed for swimmers.
. Its eco-friendly material, SEAQUAL™, is made for the most part out of plastic waste found in fishing nets.
The MOKA is the solid bicolor. It has a contrasted color top waistband, drawstring and embroidered turtle in the waistband's contrasted color.
MAHINA is the same original classic cut as MOOREA but in 100% polyamide. This ultra-light material means that it's quick-dry and can be folded back into the zipped back pocket for ease of transport.
MOTU is the same classic cut as MOOREA. With its solid colour and embroidery down the left leg, it guarantees elegance without ostentation. The pattern is either embroidered or appliquéd.
Cut like MOOREA but entirely embroidered, these exceptional swim trunks have everything going for them and will be your perfect companion for luxury holidays. The solid-silver drawstring tips add a touch of luxury to these swim trunks produced in a limited series of maximum 299 pieces.
A printed and embroidered version, MILORD, and a lightweight version, MAISTRAL, are also available.
For exceptional evenings, there is a tuxedo swimsuit to bathe in absolute elegance, with a glass of champagne in hand. Why not ?
Those who prefer a brief style swimsuit will find a selection to fit their needs.
NEO is a much skimpier version of NUAGE. Designed for swimmers, it can also be worn under your swim shorts, to reveal only the Vilebrequin-branded elastic waistband.

BEMIDJI -- Clint Cornell sits alone at the top of the leaderboard in the men's championship division after the first day of play concluded Saturday at the 51st annual Vandersluis Memorial Golf Tournament.

President Barack Obama announced on Friday, Oct. 21, that the last American combat troops in Iraq will leave the country by the end of the year.
"I can report that, as promised, the rest of our troops in Iraq will come home by the end of the year," said Obama in the White House briefing room, as reported by the Associated Press. "After nearly nine years, America's war in Iraq will be over."
Obama in Aug. 2010 officially declared an end to U.S. combat in Iraq. More than 4,400 American servicemembers have lost their lives in the country since the war began in March 2003.
"I applaud President Obama for a promise kept," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "Today is a day to honor our troops and our military families who have sacrificed so much over the last nine years to give the Iraqi people a chance at a better future. It is now up to the Iraqis to secure their country and provide opportunity for all their people."

In regard to its heating technology, the Haze Vaporizer is advanced in that department as well. That means quick heat up time and high quality vapor throughout. This device is available in absinthe, orchid, graphite and midnight colors. One of the best things about this vaporizer is the temperature setting. Well, not just one temperature setting but four. This feature enables you to get the most out of your blends by vaporizing them at different temperatures. The LED indicators tell you which setting is currently active. The heat-exchange mechanism is responsible for that mega cool vapor.
The Haze Vaporizer is also proud of its battery life. This is a Li-Ion battery we're talking about here so you can expect it to be rechargeable and reliable. It is very light and obviously portable. The lifespan of the battery is also prolonged and that means up to 1/3 longer session times when compared to other vaporizers in the same price range.
Naturally, this bad boy gives you plenty of options. That is why you can choose between convection and conduction. It is really a matter of personal preference which heating method you choose in the end. Screens are made from stainless steel and are pretty easy to maintain. The difference between the conduction and convection screen is that the former has two open sides, which control the heat exposure over your blends. The latter doesn't allow open contact between your blends and the chamber.
The top is stored inside the unit – simply slide it from the top chamber, located by the bowl selector icons.


5 Best Google AMP Blogger Template 2018. amp blogger template, free amp blogger template, blogspotamp theme, amp ready.

Starting from using a template that is already valid AMP, manually inserting the script code, and having to change previous articles to be valid AMP..
For the above problem, I've written in several articles. Please read some of the following articles before you download the template I will share this.
Infinie AMP blogger Themes is created by a blogger master named Arlina which is published in IDNThemes. This template is very easy to see and of course quickly accessed because it is based on AMP. You can download it for free..

The perfect little ring holder to stack all of your favourite rings on. It's one of those handy little items that can be placed by the sink for when you're washing up, on your bed side table for night time or even as a little decoration on your fire place. It's pretty sweet!


The two rate hikes by the Bank of Canada really slowed the economy down. Using a four-month total (July to October, the period when rate hikes started), Canada's GDP only increased by 0.2 per cent, compared to 1.1 per cent growth in the same period in 2016. So the Canadian economy will have its work cut out for it going into 2018 because monetary policy does work with a lag. We of course have to worry about NAFTA renegotiations.
Canadian stocks underperformed U.S. stocks rather significantly in 2017. Inside both markets, there are divergences — that is, some stocks are doing better, others not so much. That means if you look carefully enough, you will find companies that do well, even in Canada. So, active management works!
Being the chief technical analyst at Caldwell, I advise on a number of funds, and we place a lot of emphasis on active management. Throughout the show the viewers will be able to see how technical analysis works in real life. Technical analysis is very useful, and it is also a lot easier than most people think.

372 new licensed child-care spaces are on their way in Surrey
Posted in: In the Community
SURREY – Local families in Surrey will soon be able to access 372 new licensed child-care spaces thanks to a $1.1 million investment through the Province's Child Care Major Capital Funding Program, announced Surrey's New Democrat MLAs.
"I'm happy that 372 new child-care spaces will be coming to families in Surrey, 97 of which will be in Surrey-Guildford. This is a great step forward from our government, making life more affordable for B.C. families," said Garry Begg, MLA for Surrey-Guildford.
"Under the previous B.C. Liberal government, the child-care crisis in B.C. was getting worse, not better. This new New Democrat government is committed to changing that. The 92 new spaces coming into Surrey-Fleetwood will make a difference to local families, and that's important," said Jagrup Brar, MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood
"I'm thrilled that our government is creating 114 new child-care spaces in Surrey-Panorama, 20 of which will be specialized for children under 36 months –the most vulnerable age. This is an important step towards our commitment to implementing universal, affordable child care," said Surrey-Panorama MLA Jinny Sims.
"This government believes that every family deserves access to affordable, quality child care when they need it. That is why our government has funded the creation of 16 mixed-age child-care spaces in Surrey-Green Timbers," said Rachna Singh, MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers
This investment will allow child-care providers to:
Build a new child-care facility, including the cost of buying land or a building.
Purchase and assemble a modular building and develop a site.
Renovate an existing building.
Buy eligible equipment (including playground equipment) and furnishings as part of the above activities to support new child-care spaces in an existing facility.
The Province is now in the process of working with child-care providers to sign project agreements that include the specific requirements that providers have identified for each site, such as the need to lease or buy property, obtain local zoning permits and hire contractors to renovate the sites.
Accelerating the creation of new child-care spaces is part of the B.C. government's commitment to improve accessibility for families and supports its long-term goal of implementing universal child-care in B.C. For more information, please visit: www.gov.bc.ca/childcare.

Q: Extracting an incremental update from a MySQL table I want to extract an incremental update from a MySQL table. The table in question has an auto-incremented ID field, and an updated_at field that is updated to the current timestamp on every change (INSERT/UPDATE). Records are never deleted from this table.
I would like to extract all newly created and updated records from this table since the last run of the script. I know the highest updated_at value from the last run. So the main query to extract records will be something like:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE updated_at >= :last_seen_updated_at

What is the best way of achieving this? I have to be 100% sure that all new and updated records will be extracted. Some questions and concerns:

*

*Multiple records can be updated during the same second, some of which may have been included in the previous extraction run, some of which weren't. (e.g.: the extractor runs in the first half of the second, while a record may be updated in the second half of the second.

*Should I use one big SELECT query or should I use multiple queries to extract batches of X records? Note that the amount of data to be extracted can be large. If I uses batches, records may be updated in between the different queries.

*Preferably it should not extract duplicate records, but this is not a big problem. Does it make sense to start an X amount of time before the last seen update, "just to be safe"? (e.g. updated_at >= :last_seen_updated_at - INTERVAL 1 MINUTE)

*What isolation mode should I run these queries in? REPEATABLE READ? SERIALIZABLE?

*The MySQL database is a replicated slave, which sometimes lags the master DB somewhat. Could this have any impact on rows being included or not?

A: This isn't a complete answer, but it is a solid way to avoid duplicates.  First, when you run the update script, don't run it for the current second.  Run it at everything that's more than, say, 5 seconds old.  That way, you know that if you have one record for a given second, you have all records for that second.  Having done that, you should be able to use updated_at > :last_seen_updated_at and avoid duplicates between update cycles.
At that point, you should feel free to extract in batches or one large query.  At least as you've described the table, the data that you'll be extracting will at that point be largely static - there may well be other entries added to the table as you go, but they'll all be after whatever your arbitrary recent cut-off second is, and so won't be a part of your query.
With respect to the slave/master issue, that might be a bit of a concern, but as long as the master updates older records first, it's still pretty easy to solve.  When setting your update cutoff, find the most recent timehack on a local record and subtract one second.
There is still the concern where an entry that was added or updated in the time section you were paying attention to might be updated again while you were extracting.  The only way to strictly prevent that is to disconnect from the server and buffer changes while extracting, but you can cut down on the incidence significantly by going back and running the script again after you're done for the relatively small number of adds and modifies that occurred while you were extracting the larger group.  You can repeat this as many times as you feel paranoia warrants.  Alternately, you can count the number of rows pre-extraction, extract, and count the number extracted.  If there's any difference, you can run the process again, until you get the same number before and after.

Diane Lane Will Play Hillary Clinton in New NBC Miniseries
Posted by imoviezone in Hillary Clinton on October 18, 2013
Diane Lane is heading to the White House… on the small screen.
On Saturday, NBC announced four new long form projects, including "Hillary," a four-hour miniseries based on former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Lane will take on the title role, while the role of Bill Clinton has yet to be filled.
According to the network, the miniseries will document Hillary Clinton's multiple roles as a wife, mother, politician and cabinet member and include her husband serving the second of his two terms as P.O.T.U.S.
NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt noted at Saturday's Television Critics Association's summer press tour that the show will most likely air before the real Hillary Clinton announces a possible candidacy for the next presidential race.
"She's not going to declare her candidacy for two more years so I think it will be the late spring or early summer '15 that she will declare," Greenblatt told reporters. [via The Hollywood Reporter].
"This could well have aired before that. We have to talk through all that."
Other NBC projects announced on Saturday include remakes of Rosemary's Baby, Stephen King's Tommyknockers and a Mark Burnett produced limited series called Plymouth.
Diane Lane can currently be seen in the Superman reboot, Man of Steel.

Place du Jeu de Balle is a large square in the Marolles district, a colourful, multi-ethnic neighbourhood. Every Sunday, a large brocante (flea market) is held here, as is the case in many Brussels neighbourhoods. But the one on Place du Jeu de Balles is one of the best, both because of the large variety of things on offer, the diversity of the shoppers, and the number of nice bars and restaurants lining the square. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours there on a sunny afternoon.

Staff form guard of honour at Primark founder's funeral
Dublin, July 14 (IANS) Shop staff formed a guard of honour for Irish fashion retailer Primark founder Arthur Ryan as his funeral cortege passed the chains first store here, the media reported.
Ryan, who died from a short illness earlier this week aged 83, opened the shop 50 years ago in Dublin, where it traded as Penneys, metro.co.uk reported.
Present day employees applauded in poignant tribute as the hearse carrying Ryan passed the store, on Jervis Street in central Dublin on Saturday.
Penneys had to change its name to Primark for European stores outside Ireland, as JC Penney, n American department store chain, owned the copyright to the name.
Ryan was chief executive until 2009, before stepping into the chairman's seat until his death.
He oversaw much of the expansion, including opening the first British Primark store in 1973.
Half a century after its foundation, Primark now has 370 stores across 12 countries, employing 75,000 people.

Pregnant women with Hepatitis C have 90% chance of infecting their newborn (July 28 is World Hepatitis Day)


It is next to impossible for us to imagine our lives without a smartphone today. Be it about deciding for your next weekend getaway, or searching any news on the internet, the search cannot be completed without having your own smartphones. As the need of these devices has escalated in our daily lives, businesses, too are having a greater requirement of role-based mobile apps.
The ways and methods of doing business have certainly changed in present times. Today, It is all about having your own business based application to reach to the audiences easily. Developing role-based mobile apps help in this regard to a great extent. When apps are developed to play their specific role, it helps in generating an additional amount of revenue for the business.
Role-based apps are developed to perform a specific task. For creating such applications, developers need to target the kind of assistance that is needed to be done through the apps. As we have told earlier, these apps play a specific role, as a result of which it gets easy to perform those specific tasks.
Apps that focus on mobility are developed to increase the productivity of the business resources. Thus, the specific mobility solution for a company may differ from another depending upon the specific requirement of the company of the business. Additionally, the type of business also plays a major role in deciding the specific mobility solution to be developed.
Generalized apps are all around the globe developed by a number of companies. Why these apps are not as specific as the role-based apps is because they have a lot of functionalities. Having a number of functionalities is not at all bad. But then what is the need of having all those functionalities that you don't require at all. It just fills up the mobile space and clutters your screen with a lot of functionality.
Role-based apps, on the other hand, also help to increase the productivity, which is of course a positive sign for the business. This, additional boost to productivity is a chance for businesses to satisfy the clients to a great level. An additional chance for business to not only add revenue but to satisfy the clients as well.
Why Role-Based App Development is the Best?
The era of specialization is here and companies are focusing on providing the best kind of customized assistance to the clients. "Role-based" applications, thus play a major role in providing such an assistance to the clients. Additionally, reaching out to an extended number of audience is an added benefit.
Offering specialized attention is a way to gain more business from extended amount of clients. And, with this new role-based mobile app trend, the companies and developers have got that chance to add clients to the business that too in an effortless manner. Moreover, the effectivity of role-based apps is sure to be the next profit mantra for businesses.

Your letters...
Needless gimmickry
Sir, — It is noticeable that the group formed to install lights on Henley Bridge comprises business people, who may have vested interests.
Despite hoping to raise "up to £150,000", this group expects the town council to pay for the costs of running these new lights, so what is this money intended to pay for?
It is also inappropriate for this group to apply for charitable status for a project which has nothing to do with providing help to the needy or encouraging the arts.
To call fixing lights to a listed structure an "arts project" shows disrespect to genuine arts projects.
When this vanity project commenced without legal permission two years ago, the majority of letters to the Standard were not in favour.
What might look attractive in a massive city will just look ill-conceived in a small market town and gaudy bright lighting will not sit well with Henley's heritage.
Henley does not have the level of crime which London or Florence have, which is clearly one reason for illuminating those cities' bridges.
This type of lighting, on until 2am, would also impact massively on the river wildlife, which needs those hours of darkness just as much as people do.
The ethereal beauty of a starry and moonlit night sky is far more welcoming than reducing the bridge to a theme-park spectacle.
Another reason given for these lights is "to revitalise Henley and attract new visitors". Does Henley need "revitalising" or "re-inventing"? I don't think so.
On a practical level, Henley already has more visitors than it has parking spaces to accommodate them so where would all these additional people park?
Henley is (still) an attractive market town which does not need business people to market it — it does that for itself.
There is also the issue of private individuals seeking to take ownership of a public structure, even to the extent of taking control of the level of lighting on that structure (suggested by one of the group).
This group does not own the bridge and therefore should not be permitted to alter it in any way.
I very much hope that Oxfordshire County Council, which is responsible for the bridge, as well as South Oxfordshire District Council and Wokingham Borough Council, the two planning authorities, do not approve these plans — Henley shines already without such gimmickry.
The bridge does indeed need to be treated with the respect it deserves. I urge readers to oppose this diminution of Henley. — Yours faithfully,
Nicola Robinson
Detrimental illumination
Editor, — Comparing Henley's Georgian bridge with the illuminated bridges of London is a fallacy.
Of course, the latter are illuminated, as are all the buildings along both sides of the Thames Embankment, and, as far as I know, London's bridges are mostly of 19th and 20th century dates, as befits traffic demands of the capital.
By contrast, Henley is a small, rural market town with an elegant stone bridge, which is Grade I listed (only two per cent of all listed buildings are of that grade).
The proposed fairy lights will look like Christmas illuminations all year round and will detract greatly from the look of the stonework, finely hand crafted by 18th century stonemasons.
This detrimental effect on the look of the bridge could be avoided by uplighting the piers, arches and balustrades, thus showing off the elegant details of this precious survival of the bygone coaching age, for which it was built, replacing its medieval predecessor. — Yours faithfully,

Now open up slipway
Sir, — We should congratulate Henley Town Council for restoring the Friday Street slipway without waiting any longer for the unco-operative Sorbon Estates to rectify its unlawful development.
Quite rightly, the council proposes to seek reimbursement from Sorbon for the costs incurred but, judging by the latter's past performance, no one is holding their breath.
The excuses for its inaction from a "Sorbon Estates spokesman" were risible.
It is important now to set out the true fact of this case:
1. The previous owner of the moorings on Thames Side, near Friday Street, was Alf Parrott, whose floating pontoons (for the use of the moored boat owners) always left a gap opposite the slipway to facilitate public access to and out from the river.
2. Alf Parrott never owned the land of the slipway, nor the riverbed extension from the slipway to midstream, nor does Sorbon Estates have this ownership.
3. When Sorbon Estates acquired the Alf Parrott moorings, it submitted a planning application for "improved berthing facilities". The record (and Sorbon's own plans and drawings) clearly show that it was proposing to close the gap opposite the slipway with a fixed floating pontoon, thus rendering the slipway non-viable.
4. This loss of a public amenity should never have been agreed by South Oxfordshire District Council, the planning authority.
5. At the same time, the Environment Agency granted Sorbon Estates the accommodation licence required for its proposed new floating pontoons and finger jetties. It was also wrong to do this. Now the agency has the authority and all the necessary evidence to right this wrong.
Why is it important that the Environment Agency should act now to open up this slipway?
Firstly, it is a matter of principle: large public authorities should have a care for the public they are supposed to serve. Beyond this, there is a host of new, young river users on paddleboards and in canoes who, after this winter solstice, should be encouraged to look forward to warmer days in 2022 when they might enjoy the Friday Street slipway as their access to the River Thames. — Yours faithfully,
Tom Berman

Good policy on planning
In reply to Councillor Jane Murphy (Standard, December 24), I am sorry that the Conservative group on South Oxfordshire District Council has misinterpreted so badly the recently updated statement on planning enforcement, despite the all-councillor question and answer session and robust discussions at scrutiny and at cabinet.
We did undertake at the cabinet meeting to ask the communications team to turn the paper into a more user friendly document before sending it to towns and parishes and I am confident that this will be able to correct most of the misconceptions.
Cllr Murphy say that it is "proposed to stop investigating and enforcing all but the gravest abuses".
This is not, and never was, what is being proposed. Officers will continue to review all reported cases as they always have.
We are introducing a triage system which will allow officers to prioritise their efforts. Judgements like this have always been made by enforcement officers.
What has changed is the clarity and timeliness brought to the process, in line with the council's objective to be open and transparent.
Far from "rewarding those who choose to cheat the system", by freeing up resources the policy will enable officers to carry out more effective enforcement by targeting those cases that impact most on "their neighbours and the wider community".
Residents are right to "see the enforcement of planning rules as an essential part of the planning regime here in South Oxfordshire".
As Cllr Murphy knows, we spend significantly more on enforcement than similar councils and our performance is ranked in the top four per cent in the country.
She says that we should be "supporting rather than undermining" enforcement officers when it is they who are asking for these changes.
It is disappointing that she is suggesting that we spend more public money on additional staff resources before allowing the new process and communications to bed in and be reviewed instead of recognising the immediate benefits the changes should bring to all residents.
I also fear that trust in the planning enforcement system will be eroded, not by these proposals but by the way that the Conservative group is portraying them in the press and in town and parish meetings.
Hopefully, when the towns and parishes see the proposals for themselves, they will realise that they have nothing to fear and much to gain. — Your faithfully,
Councillor David Rouane
Liberal Democrat leader, South Oxfordshire District Council
Benefits of defibrillator
We were interested to read about the challenges facing Millie's Dream (Standard, December 24) and thought we would share our similar experience.
In 2017, a small group of residents of Emmer Green "saved" the phone box in Courtney Drive and repurposed it as a defibrillator kiosk.
We involved the local community from the start and raised donations to have the box fitted and training provided for using a defibrillator.
We collaborated with the Community Heartbeat Trust, which provides insurance, advice and support but not cash.
Maintaining a defibrillator is an ongoing commitment as it needs to be checked regularly.
We have a group of 24 volunteers working by rota who check the box every week — this only amounts to two checks each per year.
The result is reported to the trust by a co-ordinator in order to maintain the insurance. We are currently asking for donations so that we can replace the pads and batteries.
We have a WhatsApp group so that if any of us has a home emergency we can summon help quickly.
This is very important as one person must stay with the patient and administer CPR while someone else fetches the defib.
Since its installation, the defibrillator has been "out" twice but fortunately was not needed on either occasion.
If you would like advice on setting up a group or would like to make a donation, please email egphonebox@btinternet.com or send a donation to Community Heartbeat Trust, PO Box 168, Haverhill, CB9 1AX with the reference EMM001.
As well as providing emergency help to friends and neighbours, the project has been great for community cohesion and co-operation as well as being well worth the effort. — Yours faithfully,

Hello, we're still here too
Sir, — We are delighted you acknowledged Henley's various independent shops as "elite" in your enjoyable article about our tremendous pet shop (Standard, December 10).
But didn't you forget us? We have been trading since July 1978, at the bottom of Friday Street, beside the Anchor.
The business had been trading in books for five years before we took it over, so could we also qualify as a longstanding and "elite" trader alongside the others?
We trade in old, rare, vintage or selected second-hand books at every level of value. At times we have books from the 1550s to recent publications and maps, with everything in between, so the variations are endless, depending on what we find to buy from the public.
I wonder if we are the best trading recycler in the town as we sell generations of pre-loved and pre-owned books.
There used to be a shop like ours in every market town but we are one of the few left and draw people to our shop from far and wide. — Yours faithfully,
Diana Cook
Way's Bookshop, Friday Street, Henley
No longer a 'criminal'
Sir, — The landmark judgement by the Court of Appeal, following an appeal by Harry Miller, that the police recording of non-crime "hate" incidents is an unlawful interference with freedom of expression with a "chilling effect" on public debate is splendid news.
The Henley Standard was the first to publicise my particular case in February, followed by the Spectator, the Times, the Daily Mail and the Free Speech Union.
I have written to the Thames Valley chief constable asking for confirmation that my record has been expunged. — Yours faithfully,
Douglas Kedge

More choice on menu
Sir, — The ruling Liberal Democrat, Labour and Green alliance councillors on Oxfordshire County Council have voted to serve only vegan (plant-based) meals at official events (Standard, December 24).
One wonders what these councillors would do if they controlled the government. Anything not in accordance with their personal convictions would be prohibited.
Do they not realise that democracy involves allowing controversial choice and reasonable divergence?
Their decision is a serious blow to a basic freedom and we should all be very concerned. — Yours faithfully,
Yvonne Kedge
We're going backwards
Sir, — A little while ago, I wrote on these pages how in little more than a week the rights of women had plummeted both in Afghanistan and America.
Since then the Taliban has hardly welcomed or encouraged the continuing education of girls and women but there have been some concessions and women are fighting back.
In America, however, the legal right to abortion, originally successfully argued by a young lawyer in the Roe versus Wade case and then upheld by the Supreme Court some 50 years ago, is now under threat.
So it could be back to those terrible backstreet abortions in some states.
On a lighter note, due to covid and the postponement of the Henley Regatta from July to August, we women attending at the more formal venues were at last allowed to wear trousers.
What an achievement. Surely in this the 21st century those restrictions will not be brought back in the future? — Yours faithfully,
Enid Light

P.S. Coincidence. As I write this letter, I see recorded in the Times that Sarah Weddington, that very same young lawyer, has just died.
Generous audience
Sir, — I would like to thank the capacity audience at the Henley Choral Society's Christmas Concert at St Mary's Church on Saturday, December 11 and to pay tribute to their generosity.
A collection for the Chiltern Centre raised almost £1,200, or nearly £1,450 when Gift Aid is included.
The concert was a wonderful way to commence the Christmas season and we are most grateful to all concerned at the Henley Choral Society for choosing the Chiltern Centre as their nominated charity for this event.
This year has been a challenging and difficult time for everyone and especially for charities and fundraising. However, thanks to the amazing and humbling support that the Chiltern Centre continues to receive from the people of Henley and the wider community locally, I am pleased to report that the charity enters 2022 in good financial health and is able to meet the increasing demand for its services.
May I wish all our friends and supporters a happy and healthy new year. — Yours faithfully.
Paul Barrett
Chair of trustees, Chiltern Centre, Henley
Thank you, everybody
Thank you to everyone who helped me during the pandemic, including the Henley Pharmacy, the Bell Surgery and Dr Reynolds.
Also my family, Kathryn and Tracy, who shopped for me to avoid too many people, some neighbours, especially Kevin, who I can call on any time, people who I didn't know and live a little way from me, Paul, who brought my paper, Lydia, who kept me in a variety of home-made cakes, and all the people who wave as they go by.
Happy new year, everyone. — Yours faithfully,
Margaret Grant

It is an unfortunate fact that restaurant kitchens attract cockroaches and other insects. This is not surprising considering the vast amounts of food waste that are produced in restaurants on a daily basis. Exercising strict sanitation practices is the best cooks and managers can do to control insect pests in restaurant kitchens. Every once in awhile, cockroaches will literally wind up in the food that is served to patrons. One cannot help but to wonder how this occurs, as you would think that nothing could be easier than preventing giant roaches from crawling into the meals cooked in restaurants. This scenario occurred recently at a restaurant in Sacramento. Apparently, a cockroach was found in a customer's burrito. In addition to finding a cockroach in a customer's burrito, health inspectors found dozens of cockroaches infesting the establishment's kitchen. Due to these egregious violations concerning safe food production, the restaurant was forced to close.
The Sacramento County Health Department recently received a complaint from a customer telling them about a cockroach in the burrito that he was served at Carolina's mexican restaurant. This complaint, as you would expect, was taken seriously by health officials, and they wasted no time before conducting an inspection of the eatery. Not surprisingly, inspectors found dozens of cockroaches infesting the kitchen. In all, nearly 60 live cockroaches were found in the establishment. As many as 30 of these live cockroaches were found directly in the main cook's station where food is made. While this infestation cannot be good for business, the restaurant was recently reopened after the owners eradicated the pest presence. In addition to this particular restaurant, health inspectors found cockroach infestations within three other restaurants in the Sacramento area. Luckily for the owners, each restaurant managed to correct the problem, and all three have since passed inspections. However, it is hard to imagine anyone not having serious reservations about attending these formerly infested restaurants.
Have you ever spotted a small insect in a meal that you had been served at a restaurant?
Cockroaches are some of the most adaptable pests on Earth. These long-despised creepy creatures have been around for more than 280 million years, and in this time have evolved to display some unique behaviors and survival tactics that allow them to thrive in many different environments, including homes. Magic Pest control reminds homeowners that while controlling cockroaches can be particularly challenging, doing so is vital to protecting human health.
Cockroaches are known to cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma attacks, especially in children. These pests can also spread 33 kinds of bacteria, including E. coli and Salmonella. If spotted, homeowners should call a pest professional to evaluate the severity of the problem and recommend a course of treatment.
Resilience. Cockroaches can live for up to a week without their heads. They can also hold their breath for 40 minutes and even survive being submerged in water for half an hour. Additionally, some species are able to withstand freezing temperatures.
Small size.Cockroaches are small pests, so they can easily hide in cracks and crevices. Male cockroaches can fit through an opening as small as 1/16 inch in width or the thickness of a quarter.
Quick speed.Cockroaches are very fast and can run up to three miles an hour. A newborn cockroach, which is about the size of a speck of dust, runs nearly as fast as its parents.
Irregular feeding habits.Cockroaches can survive for up to one month without food and one week without water. They are omnivores and are attracted to all types of foods, including sugars, proteins and fats.
To prevent cockroaches, Magic Pest Control suggests keeping a meticulously clean kitchen, eliminating moisture in bathrooms, sealing all cracks and crevices inside and outside the home and keeping basements and crawlspaces dry and well-ventilated.

Statement from Jonathan Lord MP on Protecting our Green Belt in Byfleet and West Byfleet:
I want to protect and preserve all our green spaces for future generations, and those that have green belt designation should retain that protection. I am making strong representations to the Inspector about the land adjacent to West Hall and our green spaces in Byfleet and I urge residents and local organisations to make equally robust submissions to the Inspector during the current consultation period.
Unfortunately, as MP, I have no formal decision making role whatsoever in this process, but I will be doing my utmost to support residents and the Residents' Association every step of the way. I was very honoured to present a petition to Parliament on behalf of residents about these matters a little while ago, and the arguments made then are still entirely relevant.
The Chair of the Byfleet, West Byfleet and Pyrford Residents' Association, Stewart Dick, commented:
"In our determined efforts to protect threatened Green Belt in both Byfleet and West Byfleet we are very grateful to our Member of Parliament, Jonathan Lord, for his valued advice and steadfast support. He has assured us that he will continue to lobby both the Inspector and, if necessary, the Minister on our behalf."
