Q: Signing and aligning APK file(s) **/*.apk in Azure Devops I have been trying to make devops build of android apk and my pipeline fails in Signing and aligning Apk Stage.
I am getting the following error
##[error]Error: No matching files were found with search pattern: D:\a\1\s***.apk

PIPELINE Definition Snapshot_2

A:
[error]Error: No matching files were found with search pattern: D:\a\1\s***.apk

This error indicates that you don't have a xx.apk file generated in default working directory. You can follow steps below to locate the root cause of the issue and resolve that:

*

*Leave gradlew build task's working directory blank and make sure this task succeeds to generate the xx.apk file.

*In Android signing task, use the **\*.apk pattern.

*Make sure the gradlew build and Signing and aligning APK tasks are in same Job. If you're using hosted agent to run those tasks, they must be in same job within same pipeline/stage so that the Signing and aligning APK task can directly access the outputs of gradlew build task.
Please make sure these two tasks are in same job. If you have specific reason that you have to make them in separate jobs/stages/pipelines, consider using Artifacts-related tasks to share the files between jobs/stages/pipelines.
Since a job is a series of steps that run sequentially as a unit, different jobs will run in different machines though those agents are called hosted windows/linux. So it's recommended to put the two tasks in same job.

*If the tasks are in same job while the issue persists, set the system.debug variable to true and run the pipeline again, then you can check the details about the gradlew build task.

Then you can find the output path where the xx.apk files are generated. After that copy those files to Default working directory ($(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)) and the signing task can find the file.

A: It looks like .apk file is not found under working directory of the build agent. Please check code checkout step of the build pipeline and make sure the .apk file is being checked out as part of the build step. You can view the log as well to confirm this.

Ernie Lee
Born: April 12, 1916
Died: May 23, 1991

WLW Cincinnati, OH
WSUN St. Petersburg, FL
Ernie Lee, a native of Berea, Kentucky, was said to be "...tall, blonde and laconic.". His singing style was described as a mix of Burl Ives, Perry Como and Singin' Sam.
Ernie Lee got his start in radio back in 1940 when the host of the Plantation Party show, Red Foley, got sick and couldn't perform. The manager of the show picked Ernie out of the audience to take Red's place and he was on his way. He was on that show for over four years and once won a popularity poll when he got over 14,000 votes.
Later on, he left the small towns and headed up to Detroit, Michigan to try his luck. The urban audiences fell for his "...authentic rendition of ballads."
Ernie came to WLW early in 1947 and a 1948 article noted that he had built up a following that was "...nothing short of phenomenal". He was doing several shows back then. He would do the "Ernie Lee Show" that was on five days a week at 1:00pm. He also appeared weekly on the WLW Midwestern Hayride that aired at 6:30pm EST. He also had a Sunday show, "The Ernie Lee's Omega Show" which was broadcast over 62 southern radio stations on the Mutual Broadcasting network from 3:00pm to 3:15pm EST.
Back on August 14 and 21, 1948, Ernie Lee guested on WSM's Grand Ole Opry. He sang three of his current favorites that he had out at the time, "You Never Grow Too Old To Learn", "Kentucky Means Paradise To Me", "Deep Water".

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials are almost here!
In just a few more days, Meghan Markle will officially join the royal family, and we'll definitely be watching.
Thanks to social media ― specifically, Instagram ― that doesn't mean we'll have to miss all the action. We've put together a list of accounts to follow ahead of the big day to give you everything you could want, including photos, official announcements and even some snarky commentary.
The official Kensington Palace Instagram account should be a go-to. Here, you'll find photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at public outings, and you'll see official announcements directly from the source. On the day of the wedding, we'd say it's safe to count on this account for some great photos of the celebration, and perhaps even some interesting and educational tidbits about royal traditions.
For the reasons listed above, you should also follow the royal family's official Instagram account, sure to bring you some great photos from the big day and perhaps even some extra photos of the queen in her wedding ensemble.
If you're looking for some hilarious royal wedding commentary from the (imagined) point of view of a very sassy Prince George, you need to be following Gary Janetti on Instagram. In Janetti's memes, which we've already dubbed "the funniest royals-related content on the internet right now," the little prince is a snarky monster of a kid who really has it out for Markle (and all the royals, really). Surely the Prince George character Janetti has created will have plenty to say on May 19.
Priyanka Chopra is a close friend of Markle's who's already noted she'll be at the royal wedding. While phones aren't allowed at the wedding itself, we're hoping to get some pre-ceremony glam shots from Chopra, and maybe even a few story updates after the fact.
Jessica Mulroney is a Canadian stylist, public relations professional and bridal specialist. She's also one of Markle's best friends and reportedly her secret wedding planner. It was initially thought that Mulroney would be Markle's maid of honor, but that was squashed once we found out the former actress wouldn't have one at all. Regardless, Mulroney's bound to have some great royal wedding intel and we can only hope she shares some of that on and around May 19.
Princess Eugenie doesn't update her official Instagram account too often, but we're still wishing she'll share at least one snap from her cousin's big day. We'd also appreciate a photo or two of her and her sister, Princess Beatrice, wearing what will surely be two show-stopping headpieces.
We know that Victoria Beckham won't be making Markle's dress, but there's still hope that she and her fellow Spice Girls, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, Mel Brown and Mel Chisholm, will reunite to spice up the royal party. (You should also give their accounts a follow if you haven't already.) We might even get a performance — our song choice would be "2 Become 1," because, obviously. But what we really, really want is to see the girl group in coordinating fascinators. Ensembles designed by Beckham would also be welcome.
Roland Mouret (second from right) is rumored to be Markle's potential wedding dress designer, so if there's any chance for sneak peeks, you'll likely see them on his account.
Serena Williams is another friend of Markle's who's been pretty mysterious about whether she'll actually attend the wedding. Still, she may be a good person to follow for potential pictures and story updates.
TV producer and author Lindsay Roth is also a good friend of Markle's and was even rumored to be the former actress' maid of honor, as Markle fulfilled that same duty for Roth in 2016.
Kate Middleton Captions (aka k8conroy) is another great account for funny royal-related commentary. Instead of imagining the thoughts in Prince George's head, this account puts captions under images of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.
Aside from our live coverage of the big day, HuffPost will be updating our Instagram account with highlights from the wedding. Be sure to check out our stories throughout the day for updates too.


The 2018 National Acura Legend Meet (NALM) was held in Colorado Springs, Colorado from July 18-21. Marking the event's first time in Colorado in its 14-year history, attendees from 11 states attended. Though the Legend model in the United States has now been discontinued for over 23 model years, its enthusiast network remains strong although small. This year, activities were headquartered at the Country Lodge in Woodland Park, about 20 miles west of Colorado Springs on Highway 24. Highlight events included visits to Breckenridge, Victor, and Cripple Creek along with some of the best scenery in the Rockies.
The capstone activity was a road rally to the 14,115-foot summit of the Pikes Peak Highway, a famous road of 19 miles of grades climbing a vertical mile. Scenery was breathtaking and the Legends performed admirably, with 10 of 11 participants making it to the summit without issues despite having an average of over 200,000 miles per car on the odometer.
Pikes Peak Acura dealership in Colorado Springs opened its doors to the group on Saturday morning, allowing 6 Legends into its showroom for an exclusive retro 1990's day. Clients and employees alike enjoyed reminiscing of the era of automobiles from Acura's lineup two decades ago. Even the satellite radio station inside the showroom was set to 1990's pop radio in recognition of the occasion. A formal car show, closing banquet, raffle, and awards ceremony were held later that day. The event's "Best of Show" award went to Chris Miller of Baltimore, who made the 4,000+ mile round trip in his newly restored 1994 Legend GS sedan 6-speed manual.


Old teen magazines and a trip down memory lane!
For as long as I can remember I've always loved magazines, and even to this day, long after my teens, I still dash to the shops when all the new titles are out.
I remember the obsession starting around the time an aunt who used to work in a newsagent used to give me a handful of different comics and magazines every week.
I'm no better nowadays, in fact I'm worse!
As a child. it would be Twinkle comic, and reading about the antics of Nurse Nancy looking after her dolls in her Toy Hospital.
Then a little older, I'd get off the school bus and it'd be a trip across the road to the local shop to buy the latest copy of Look – In, Smash Hits, TV Hits, or Just Seventeen magazine.
Then getting home and carefully taking out the posters and sticking them up all over the wall.
If you wanted something to read apart from the celeb goss and music interviews, you couldn't beat the good old fashioned photo stories you got.
The ones with the photos and the speech bubbles coming out of of the people's heads. Can you even get them anymore?! I haven't seen one of those for ages….
Blue Jeans, and also Patches magazine were both firm favourites.
Nowadays I still read everything and anything, from Heat for the weekly celeb gossip to Take A Break for the real life stories.
I'm sure there's lots more I used to read that I've completely forgotten about!
Were you a magazine nut like me?
As it's been a gorgeous sunny week so far, we've been out and about in the sunshine a lot and the two small ones each had great fun washing the car for us.
It was all the 8 year old's idea. He decided the car looked grubby and asked if he could wash it. As he never wants to do anything for free nowadays (there's always a catch with money involved!) he said he'd wash the car for us for £2.
Bargain. A clean car and something to keep them occupied for a while?! Sounded OK to me.
So armed with a washing up bowl full of warm water and a little bit of washing up liquid, both he and the 4 year old gave it a good clean.
So, do your children do jobs to earn any pocket money? Or do they just get money regardless? I'd love to hear what others do….
Are women fat because they don't do as much housework nowadays?!
According to new research, women are adding inches to their waistlines because they don't do as much housework as the previous generations.
Whereas the previous generations had to get scrubbing at those clothes and tramping on them in big buckets or whatever, apparently nowadays we have it easy as we have all the gadgets to do it for us.
Yes, we've got gadgets that help us out more, but does that really mean that we don't do as much work as our great grandparents used to do?!
Surely that puts me up there with those tramping up and down on their washing 70 years ago?!
I walk everywhere as I don't drive. Including the two mile round school walk trip twice a day.
Women can still burn up to a 1000 calories a day just like they used to be able to.
A couple of hundred calories chasing about after the small ones (let's face it, you burn off many pounds trying to keep them out of mischief). Another couple of hundred traipsing up and downstairs all day, every day lugging random toys from room to room to put away.
So never mind the 'women are putting inches on' rubbish.
We're all working just as hard, thank you very much.
Cooking more than one meal for children…or not?!
New research has revealed that parents are more than likely to offer more than one choice at the dinner table for their children.
The survey, carried out by Flora Cuisine, revealed that 34% of parents cook up to three different meals a night for their small ones in order to cater for all the different tastes.
I could understand that if I was running a bed and breakfast, or a fancy hotel with paying guests.
For the family mealtime though?! Not so much.
As a child, that worked perfectly fine for me, and it's working perfectly fine as a rule nowadays, too.
If we're having chilli con carne, for example, which we all love apart from the 8 year old, then he's perfectly entitled to sit there and pick out all his kidney beans if he so wishes. That's entirely up to him. He's not getting a different tea to the rest of us though, if he doesn't want to eat it, then that's up to him!
Likewise with the 4 year old and shepherds pie.
Is anyone else harsh like me?! Or do you cook a multitude of different dishes, each catered to your child's and/or partner's different tastes?!
This week's Mix Tape Monday is apparently a free style with no theme, so in the light of the deaths of two major disco stars this week, my theme is called Disco Fever.
A great classic which I still can't hear without doing the 'Dole Queue Dance' from the film Full Monty!
Now let's have our own little disco party and let's hope wherever they are now they're still filling up the dance floor and bringing joy to people's dancing feet….
There's lots of little things about kids that you've just got to love, in between all the things that they do to wind you up, that is.
The fact that if you told them the moon was made out of green cheese and little men lived on it, they'd believe you.
No, I don't mean they leech you dry of any money that you have lurking about in your wallet, leaving you with nothing but fluff in there.
I mean that their minds are a blank canvas, ready to be filled with knowledge and they have a sponge like way of being able to soak things up straight away.
They get the most inane pleasure out of simple household objects and have an uncanny ability of turning the most boring object into a thing of wonder.
Old cardboard boxes become pirate ships in the middle of the sea, and the carpet is suddenly shark infested waters. Be careful not to fall out….
I'm including this one because you've just got to laugh, haven't you?! Even though you'd prefer to tape their little mouths up.
Cue sniggers of laughter from other toilet goers.
Shurrup and get changed. Sheesh.
They might have acted like the spawn of Satan himself during the day, but when they're fast asleep, it's like butter wouldn't melt. Ah, they're so cute when they want to be.
Let's hope they're just as adorable when they wake up….
Why should women have to get into shape soon after having babies?!
Former Miss World and Bollywood star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is in the news for refusing to lose her baby weight straight away and daring to be in the public eye looking less than perfect.
Apparently, she's been accused of 'letting her country down' and because she's a Bollywood actress, she has a duty to look good and fit at all times.
I'm sorry, but what?! She's just had a baby, for goodness sake! Why should she be expected to ping straight back into a size zero or whatever size just because everybody expects her to?!
It takes 9 months to make a baby and put weight on, so it makes sense that losing the weight gradually over the months is a lot better than losing it all on some silly crash dieting, a 1000 star jumps a day or a stint at some boot camp.
It's nobody's body, or business, but hers. As she has a little baby to look after, surely she should be concentrating on looking after her small one than going out for 5 mile runs at 6am with personal trainers, or living on nothing but steamed vegetables?
We're too used to seeing all bones in the media, and the sight of anything such as a perfectly normal, healthy size 12 or 14 starts to looks 'big'.
I'm sure she'll lose the weight when, and if she's ready. Not because the world tells her she should be.
Which is the way it should be – if you're happy in your own skin, and with who you are, then why should you bow to pressure from others to lose baby weight quickly?!
Leave the new mums alone, and let them concentrate on their babies. They'll do it when they want to!

Self-trust tows Fernandez to gutsy US Open quarterfinal win
Luisa Morales – Philstar.com
September 8, 2021 | 7:33am
Leylah Fernandez of Canada celebrates after defeating Elina Svitolina of Ukraine during her Women's Singles quarterfinals match on Day Nine of the 2021 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 07, 2021 in the Flushing neighborhood of the Queens borough of New York City.

MANILA, Philippines — Leylah Fernandez has clinched a spot in the semifinals of the 2021 US Open, becoming the youngest player in the last four since Maria Sharapova in 2005.
But the historic feat didn't come easy, especially in the quarterfinal, which was arguably her toughest match in the tournament.
Pitted against World No. 5 Elina Svitolina, Fernandez needed to pull out all the stops against the fierce competitor.
Faced with comebacks, erased leads and tiebreaks, Fernandez played with the poise of a tennis player well beyond her years.
The secret, according to the Fil-Canadian, was simply her confidence in what she could do.
"Just to trust myself," Fernandez said of what she told herself each time Svitolina looked to be in control of the match.
"Because Svitolina, she's a great player, she fought for everything, she runs for everything, she deserves to be in the quarterfinals," she added.
Rather than hanging her head, the US Open teen sensation just continued to play her brand of tennis.
It didn't matter what the person on the other side of the net did.
"I just told myself to trust my shots, to trust that everything is gonna go well, [and] even if I lose, I'm gonna go for it," she said.
Fernandez wouldn't lose, though, and would slay her second WTA Top 5 opponent in the same major — something that hadn't been done since 17-year-old Serena Williams at the 1999 US Open.
Whatever happens next to Fernandez in the last four, it has already been a tournament of the ages for the Fil-Canadian teen.

Le Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps, ou NSFK était une organisation para-militaire du Parti nazi, fondée au début des années 1930. À cette époque, en raison du traité de Versailles, il était interdit à l'Allemagne de posséder une aviation militaire.

Histoire
L'organisation du NSFK était basée sur celle des Sturmabteilung, ou SA, sur le plan de la hiérarchie entre les membres, on retrouve d'ailleurs cette structure dans les Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrerkorps (NSKK ou « Corps de transport du Parti national-socialiste des travailleurs allemands »).

Durant les premières années de son existence, le NSKF utilisa des planeurs et des avions privés. Quand les Nazis créèrent la Luftwaffe, un nombre important de NSKF y furent transférés, aussi nombre des NSKF transférés étaient parallèlement membres du NSDAP, ce qui eut pour conséquence de politiser la Luftwaffe plus que les autres branches de la Wehrmacht, restées fidèles à la « Vieille Garde » issue de l'aristocratie allemande.

Le Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps continua d'exister même après la création de la Luftwaffe, mais avec un degré d'importance moindre. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le NSFK fut présent dans les domaines de la défense aérienne et de la réserve des troupes de DCA.

Q: Java Socket not Receiving connection So I have made several similar simple Java servers and clients. They work fine when I run them from Eclipse or as far I can say from same computer.
The moment I send client program to other computer, they can't bind.
As well, I made Swift app for iOS and tried to reach the server from phone but to no avail.
Now, this is my sample code, it's just bare bones, and it still doesn't work. Is there some problem with problem with Firewall that I need to address? I run MacBookPro 2010, OS Sierra 10.12 beta. Eclipse is verified in Firewall though.
public class BasicServer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        ServerSocket sam = null;
        Socket bob = null;
        try {
            sam = new ServerSocket(1025);
            System.out.println("Server is Cheking acceptance");
            bob = sam.accept();
            if (bob != null) {
                System.out.println("\nSystem Accepted");
            }
            System.out.println("\nClosing Server...");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error on server side of type: " + e.getMessage());

        } finally {
            try {
            sam.close();
            bob.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.out.println("Socket on Finally had encountered an Error:" + e.getLocalizedMessage());
            }
        }
    }
}

this one works from Eclipse
public class TransServer {

    public static void main(String[] args)  {
        System.out.println("Action Done");

        try {

            Socket sam = new Socket("some IPv6", 1025);
            System.out.println("Done...");
            if (sam.isConnected()) {
                System.out.print("Connected!");
            }

            sam.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Error Occoured: " + e);
        }

    }

}

and this is swift code:
class ViewController: UIViewController {

    private let serverIP = "some IPv6"

    @IBOutlet weak var textOutlet: UITextView!

    @IBAction func connectAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
        // textOutlet.title = ""
        connectToServer()
    }

    private func connectToServer() {
        let mySocket = TCPClient(address: serverIP, port: 1025)

        let connectResult = mySocket.connect(timeout: 2)

        switch connectResult {
        case .failure(let e):
            textOutlet.text = "We received an error: \(e.localizedDescription)"
        case .success:
            textOutlet.text = "We have successfuly established a Connection to server!"
        }

        mySocket.close()

        textOutlet.text.append("\nWe have closed the Socket")

    }

}

Any ideas?
Thank you.

A: So the problem was that I was getting bad IP address from Google and other web services. When I looked at my network properties I found my real address and when I used that one everything worked fine...

According to multiple reports, Miami Heat Assistant Coach David Fizdale is about to get the opportunity he has been wanting for a long time. He is about to reach the pinnacle of his profession, leading the on-court product of an NBA franchise, guiding arguably some of the best athletes in the world in their pursuit of an NBA title.
Congrats Coach Fizdale, and welcome to Memphis. Now do you want the good news or the bad news first?
For you see, there is a little bit of both to be had here in the Bluff City. There are reasons why so many interviews were conducted for the position (aside from Chris Wallace perhaps attempting to expand his NBA rolodex) - this team and its core roster has been to the playoffs for several consecutive years and has advanced beyond the first round of those playoffs three times in that run. Success and Memphis are slowly becoming synonymous. Your new roster features former all-stars, a recent All-NBA First Team big man, multiple All-NBA defense award winners, and a fan base that continues to grow in both size and passion for the franchise. These are all good things.
On the other hand, all is not well in "Hoop City". There are a lot of questions with regards to that same roster we just spoke of so glowingly - that First-Team big, Marc Gasol? He's got a broken foot. One of those former NBA defenders, a key cog in the Grizzlies' machine, Mike Conley? He's an unrestricted free agent. The other two members of the "Core Four", Zach Randolph and Tony Allen? They are entering the last years of their contracts, and potentially their Grizzlies careers, as they approach age 35. This roster is about to go through some serious changes.
Welcome to Memphis, Coach Fizdale! We have some good news and bad news for you...
That doesn't even include the dicey Grizzlies Front Office. Chris Wallace is the public face and voice, and he has stated he will have the power to choose the new coach for the first time here in Memphis on multiple occasions, but who is really pulling the strings? How involved are Robert Pera and his advocates in Memphis, how much say does John Hollinger have, how active are the other owners in the decision-making process (if at all)? While the front office has made sound moves, the lack of perceived stability has stressed the ties that bind the fan base to the franchise.
Uncertainty abounds. That's the bad news. The good news? For a coach with the supposed talents of Fizdale, he should fit in nicely as the team starts to transition -
He works well with veteran stars? Good - what Memphis' best players lack in star power they more than make up for in personality. Coach Fiz will have his hands full managing this eclectic roster in the short-term, but his experience with Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, among others, will surely come in handy. Hopefully he starts with helping to convince Mike Conley that the Grizzlies' future is bright and he should be a part of it.
He is an expert on player development? Good - no one currently on staff (or on the staff in the past 5 years or so, for that matter) seems to be good at that. The Grizzlies are about to go through a pretty big transition/youth movement these next couple of seasons. Any coach and their staff is going to have to be able to take younger players and help them along on the path to achieving their potential. Thankfully this is a reported strength of Fizdale.
He has a solid resume of coaches he has worked for? Good - Erik Spoelstra is widely considered to be one of the top coaches in the NBA, and Fizdale was a key part of his staff. Also don't forget who runs the show for the Heat organization at large - Pat Riley, an all-time great coach himself. He's worked for coaches like Mike Woodson and others, and during his extended time as an assistant, has been exposed to multiple ways of winning basketball games. Any uncertainty about specific schemes should be quelled a bit by this; he can develop schematic ideas that fit what he has now, and can adjust as time goes on and the roster changes.
Dave Fizdale is the new man-in-charge in Memphis, and inherits a team and fan base that is used to winning. That is the good news. The bad news is that that is going to be tested, perhaps early in Coach Fizdale's tenure with the Grizzlies. This Summer is going to be instrumental in determining just how much success the Memphis Grizzlies will be having in the near future, and the first domino has finally fallen.
The Memphis Grizzlies have a new head coach. What comes next will be the fun part.

I roll down the hill, looking for the gap in the hedgerow. I see it, so I hit the brakes, swing my leg back and over the bike and dismount. Strung up on a wooden sign above the gap are the words, "Cycle's Rest". I smile as I walk under it. I don't know who set aside this little piece of heaven that looks over the Devon countryside, but I thank them as I rest my bicycle against the bench.
As I sit there, on the hillside, listening to the wind—the only sound I can hear—I breathe. With each exhale I release the tension that exists like a ghost in my neck and shoulders. I let my eyes open wide as I inhale. After a few minutes I spy a bird, wheeling in the air, sailing on the currents. Its wings are outstretched, unmoving. It's rising and falling, leaning left and right, playing with and in the air. It glides in figures of eight so large that I have to move my head to keep it in sight.
After what seems like hours, the bird changes its pattern of flight. The figures of eight dissolve into oval-shape loops that get larger and larger, and finally, it breaks the loop altogether, soaring in a straight line, diagonally across my sight, away into the distance. The bird has found what it is looking for and heads towards it with a singularity of purpose that exists only in the animal kingdom.

Express just released its Holiday Gift Guide so I thought I'd share my picks. One great thing about Express is that they have something for everyone's budget.
Sparkles and sequins are always a must for the holiday season. And I just love the envelope wristlet – so cute and classy.
If I still lived in Boston I would definitely have those faux fur earmuffs on my wish list!
The faux fur jacket is so old Hollywood – love it!
Skinny stripes like this can hardly ever go wrong. I also love wide necklines and slouchy fits- so cozy! AND, the short sleeves are perfect for warmer LA autumns! Another plus – it's machine washable.
I love the metallic sheen of this one. It also comes in 4 other colors. I could see dressing this up with a black mini and a statement necklace.
Cable knit sweaters are always a classic look in my book – this one just gives it a stylish twist. I love the short sleeves and the big armholes.
Do you shop at Express? What are some of your other favorite "mall stores"?
I like some stuff at American Eagle. LOVE J. Crew but often can't afford it! Forever 21 is good for cheap trendy accessories.


Where Would We Be Without Beach Bar Owners?
Home » Beach Bars » Where Would We Be Without Beach Bar Owners?
This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for beach bar owners because without them, we wouldn't have beach bars, this blog wouldn't exist, the world would stop spinning and the sun would not rise tomorrow. They're a varied lot, to say the least, but they keep the rum flowing, the music going and the fun times alive. Their beach bars are generally a reflection of their own personalities which, in most cases, is a good thing. They're counselors, tour guides, shuttle operators, entertainers, drink slingers, managers, bouncers, cooks, accountants, entrepreneurs, dish washers – whatever it takes to get the job done and keep our favorite beach bars open. They work insanely long hours, sacrificing family time so their families have a future, and rarely take a day off.
So the next time you're sitting at your favorite beach bar, take a moment to find the owner and tell him/her "thanks." Without them, that vacation of yours in paradise wouldn't be nearly as much fun or memorable. Or not memorable, depending on the amount of rum consumed during the memory-making event.

"It feels like it's an award for all of my students," Kirsch said after the announcement. He didn't have a speech prepared, but used the time to thank students current and future, as well as his colleagues.
Tenth-grader Zachary McGhee came down from the bleachers to film the teacher receiving the award. Kirsch also coaches for the school's cross-country and track teams.
"He's just an awesome guy," said McGhee, who runs for Whitehaven High School. Kirsch makes students feel at ease and prepared, he said, while also "(pushing) us to the limits so everyone can do great."
Kirsch gave a shout-out to the school's principal, Vincent Hunter and Chandra Perkins, his mentor within Memphis Teacher Residency, a nonprofit organization. Perkins is now a math coach for the Whitehaven Empowerment Zone, a group of the neighborhood's schools.
"He's a rockstar," Perkins said. "(Kirsch) sees potential in children and wants to give them everything that they need to be successful in life."
The state's education commissioner, Penny Schwinn and Joris Ray, superintendent of Shelby County Schools, were present at Whitehaven for the award announcement, alongside Jane Foley, the senior vice president of the Milken Educator Awards.
The award, created by the Milken Family Foundation in 1987, is given annually to up to 40 teachers across the nation and recognizes potential in early and mid-career teachers. The unrestricted award money and support of the Milken network is meant to kick start these teachers' careers, inspiring educators, students and communities.

More than $140 million in funding, including $70 million in the individual $25,000 awards, has been devoted to the overall initiative, according to a media release. Tennessee joined the awards program in 1992 and has since had 69 educators receive an award.
Last year's award: Shelby County Schools teacher awarded 'Oscar of teaching' in surprise event
A teacher at another Whitehaven school, Erica Stephens, won one of 40 national Milken Awards last year. The math teacher at John P. Freeman Optional School began Facebook streaming the assembly, unknowingly capturing the big moment for her teaching career.
Stephens was present at the assembly for Kirsch Wednesday, alongside previous Milken awardees.
The Milken Educator Awards praised Kirsch's innovative approaches to teaching, like having students work backward to solve equations, as well as his teaching results, noting that growth scores and passing rates for the AP Calculus exam improved for students when Kirsch began teaching.
The foundation also noted his leadership and community involvement.
In his classroom after the assembly, Kirsch said that teaching at Whitehaven combines the passions he has for youth, math and sports.
"It's all the things I like," he said.

A Pinch Of Salt: How To Choose The Right One
CrunchyTales Team
It's a staple in every kitchen. It can easily improve the taste and texture of your dishes with just a pinch. And even though experts have demonstrated that salt is salt and usually contains the same amount of sodium (no matter the colour), gourmands know that different sizes, shapes and flavours of this precious mineral dictate the types of cooking they're most suited for.
Salt's relationship to flavour is multidimensional – Samin Nosrat chef and author of 'Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking' says. – It has its own particular taste, and it both balances and enhances the flavour of other ingredients. Imagine taking a bite of a rich espresso brownie sprinkled with flaky sea salt. The salt minimizes the espresso's bitterness, intensifies the flavour of the chocolate and offers a savoury contrast to the sugar's sweetness. Does this mean you should simply use more salt? No. It means use salt better.
In the end, choosing the best one for your recipes really comes down to taste and preference but sometimes it could be quite challenging. Should we use crystalline or flaked? Kosher or Fleur De Sel? Red Hawaiian or black Hawaiian lava? According to Samin Nosrat, though all salt crystals are produced by evaporating water from saltwater brine, the pace of evaporation determines the shape those crystals take. These varying shapes and sizes can make a big difference in your cooking as "a tablespoon of fine salt will pack more tightly and can be two or three times 'saltier' than a tablespoon of coarser salt".
Which salt to choose?
Here is the ultimate CrunchyTales guide to the most popular culinary salts that will help you decide what is best for your needs.
It is typically much less refined than table salt and comes in both fine and coarse varieties. Highly mineral-enriched, it is produced by evaporation of seawater. It will vary in flavour and price, depending on where and how it's made. For example, Fleur de sel, the 'caviar of salts,' is produced in small quantities and hand-harvested. Meant to be used as a finishing salt, it has a delicate flavour and texture. These crystals will complement anything from a fresh salad to a salmon fillet. Use it to add a pungent burst of flavour to just-cooked foods.
Grey salt is also universally praised for its high minerality, incredible moisture content and fine, irregular texture. Coloured by the clay from where it's harvested, it is often called Celtic Sea Salt. It's great on hearty foods, but can be used on everything; ideal for fatty meats and roasted root vegetables. Both are best used as finishing salt for fish, seafood, caramels, chocolate chip cookies, and other sweets.
A popular choice for everyday cooking as it contains fewer additives and has a cleaner taste compared to processed table salt. When used in cooking, it can add a crunchy texture to dishes and even drinks. Remarkably versatile, Kosher Salt is made by compacting granular salt collected from mines and deposits. It has irregularly shaped flakes that dissolve easily and relatively evenly. Sprinkle it in sauces, use it to cure a ham, fold it into soups.
Pink Himalayan salt is known as a finishing salt because it is generally used at the end of cooking to add flavour and a crunchy texture to the meal. It comes from ancient seabeds in the Himalayan mountains and its pink colour is due to its rich iron content. Himalayan salt can also be used as a cooking or finishing salt. You can also use it to rim the edge of a glass for a warm-weather cocktail.
When hand-cut into slabs, it could be used as a surface for serving food.
Hawaiian Salts
Originating from Hawaii, both Black and Red salts are unrefined and volcanic. The first owes its colour to its content of activated charcoal. This finishing salt is very coarse; great with meat, seafood and fruits. The Red one gets its colour from the iron oxide in volcanic clay. Full of trace minerals, it complements pork, seafood, ceviche and more. It's not as coarse as black salt, but not as fine as table salt: what's great about it is how amazing it looks as a garnish.
The Secret Art Of Layering Salt
Once you have chosen your favourite salt, start to play with it according to your recipe. Add crystals only after you're satisfied with the balance of flavours: do it gradually, stop to taste and adjust as needed.
From capers and bacon to miso paste and cheese, there are many sources of salt beyond crystals – Samir Nosrat explains-. Working more than one form of salt into a dish is what I call layering salt, and it's a terrific way to build flavour.
In general, use coarse, unrefined salt for fermenting vegetables (sea salts and Himalayan rock salt are the best) and do not use those ones that contain anti-caking agents or iodine because it can inhibit the beneficial bacteria in a fermented vegetable. If you want to elevate the taste of a dish, use finishing salts. Select pink, red, or black salt to add a burst of colour.
And unless you have been told by your doctor to limit salt consumption, you can relax about your sodium intake from home-cooked food. In almost every case, anything you cook for yourself is lower in sodium than restaurant food.

Salt is salt, used for flavour, and not to add nutritional value.
One teaspoon of salt contains around 2400 mg of sodium.
Fancier packaging and marketed health claims make salt more expensive, but not healthier. All salts, regardless of different textures or colour, remain comparable in sodium content.
Consuming high levels of salt can cause increased blood pressure and water retention.
Most people require less than 225 micrograms of iodine daily

WACO, Texas The Baylor Lady Bears beat #1 UConn in the Ferrell Center Thursday night.
Hot shooting in the early portion of the game gave Baylor the early lead. Juicy Landrum, the La Vega alum, hit some early three's to set the tone for Baylor.
NaLyssa Smith was also a key to the first half, her second chance points off missed shots helped Baylor lead by a point at the half 30-29.
Baylor extended that lead in the 2nd half with the help of Kalani Brown and Lauren Cox. Baylor's outstanding post players delivered against UConn to lead the way to a 68-57 win.
The win is Baylor's first ever over a #1 ranked team.
The Lady Bears' win also ends UConn's 126 game regular season winning streak.

It is estimated that in the UK, about half of the 1.47 million desktop computers owned by further and higher education institutions are left on all the time. If power management practices are improved annual savings would be in the order of £64 million and 285 million kg of CO2 equivalents. Tools and techniques are readily available to achieve these reductions. This paper outlines the approach taken by staff at the University of Oxford who have developed a five step approach to 'green' desktop computing.
The international Sloan Sky Server project has put together a huge scientific database of information on celestial bodies. Querying these vast amounts of data is a great challenge. Using the MonetDB database system, Milena Ivanova and her fellow researchers at CWI in the Netherlands have implemented the first open-source solution. The MonetDB/SkyServer project now provides a valuable experimentation platform for developing new techniques for scientific data management.
At the Geometric Modelling and Computer Vision laboratory of SZTAKI, a new method for 3D reconstruction by fusing multimodal data obtained using a laser scanner, a camera and illumination sources is being developed. The system processes and fuses geometric, pictorial and photometric data using genetic algorithms and efficient methods of computer vision.
The Vgate project introduces a new type of immersive environment that allows full-body immersion and interaction with virtual worlds. The project is a joint initiative between computer scientists from research teams in computer vision, parallel computing and computer graphics at the INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, and the 4D View Solutions company.
Web accessibility means ensuring that online content, services or applications can be accessed and used by everyone, including those with special needs. Usability, on the other hand, is a multidimensional concept that depends on the application, the user context and on the goal itself, and its aim is to provide a fully satisfactory user experience. Although closely related, accessibility and usability are frequently addressed as two separate issues. Nevertheless, it is very important to apply them synergistically from the earliest phases of design in order to guarantee satisfactory interaction for users with disabilities.
The ICASE project addresses issues related to computer-based assessment practices, analysed from the perspectives of IT, psychometrics and assessment, and is intended to open up new research strands.
What would happen to your economy in the case of ICT breakdowns? Can the economic impacts of ICT shortages be assessed? Are the effects of ICT breakdowns the same in all European countries? The VIS research project attempts to answer these questions by investigating the vulnerability of European industrial systems.

Dance Central review
The closest thing to a "real' dance game to date
By GamesRadarCarolynGudmundson 2010-11-06T02:29:53.309Z Review
Kinect tech works well when dancing
Well-choreographed routines
Break It Down mode is helpful
Relatively small song list
Annoying menu controls
Getting gouged for the good stuff via DLC
Out of all the Kinect games released at launch yesterday, Dance Central is easily the one that makes the best use of the technology. The motion sensing works well to detect if you've made the right moves, and each of the Easy/Medium/Hard routines in the 32 song list is well-choreographed and fun to perform. It's also easily the most authentic dance game to date – it really is about learning and performing real dance moves. Cheryll and I played it together for review, and we both agree that among purely motion control-based games, Dance Central is the first game where we honestly had fun because of the motion controls rather than in spite of them.
When dancing, there are two main portions of the screen you need to look at to figure out what you should be doing. The flashcards on the right side give you the name of the move and a still frame diagramgiving you thebasic ideawith the leg/arm highlighted that you should start with, and then you can also watch the dancer to see exactly how the move should be performed. Once you get familiar with each move, it gets easier to use the flashcards as a kind of shorthand that you can glance at and know what to do immediately.
To get the hang of each move, you can start by playing Break It Down mode, where you're introduced to individual moves one at a time until you're comfortable with them. Each move has a name to help you remember it (Tell Em Arm, Propeller, Keyboard Cat, Cowgirl, and so forth), and once you've got the individual moves down, you practice putting them together before you perform the actual song. It moves at a pace that seems just right for a range of skill levels; it's not too slow that a moderately experienced dancer would get bored, and not too fast that someone with no dance skills would feel overwhelmed, especially since you can repeat the break down as many times as you want.

You can also skip Break It Down mode and just jump right into the actual song – it's up to you. Each song's options unlock individually though, so you have to pass a song on Easy to unlock the Medium routine, and pass Medium to unlock Hard. Each song also has a general difficulty rating too, so as you progress through the track list the routines get harder overall. Again, the difficulty curve seems just right, and if you play through the tracks in order you'll start to perform harder and harder routines and not even notice how much you'reimproving until you go back and play the earlier tracks on easy again and they seemeasierthan you remembered. The game gives you immediate feedback on your form too, by highlighting areas of the dancer avatar's body that you're not moving correctly, for example if your arm isn't extended enough the dancer's arm will glow red until you correct it. The specificity of the glowing limb system helps you learn a lot faster than if it simply stopped at giving you an overall bad/good rating for each move.

Let's move on to complaints, of which we have primarily three. First, the only multiplayer mode, two player dance battle, doesn't allow both players to dance at the same time. Instead, you just take turns dancing to a song, switching back and forth when the game prompts you, and whoever has the highest score at the end wins. Part of the fun of learning a dance routine is performing it in synch with your friends, and this simply isn't an option with Dance Central.
Second, the motion-controlled menus are terrible. It's bizarre that the motion detection seems to work so well in the actual dance part, but then moving one arm up and down to scroll and select a song from a list is frustratingly janky. All too often we accidentally selected the wrong song, wrong difficulty level, etc, which wouldn't be horribly obnoxious except that then it's also a bitch trying to back out to the previous menu.

Finally, like many music games of its ilk, it feels like the track list is purposely sparse and lackluster, with a lot of obviousdance fan-favoritespurposely held back for DLC. Isn't this exactly what we were afraid of when DLC first became a thing? The day the track listing was announced for Dance Central, I was like, "OMG what?! No Sean Paul, really?" and predicted that a Sean Paul track/pack would be among the first DLC offerings. Sure enough, Sean Paul's "Temperature" is a launch day DLC track, at $3 for one song. If it was ready at the time of the game's launch, it's just stingy separate it into DLC, especially when the core game's track list isn't robust.
Dance Central's strength, like many respectable "casual" games, is that it does one thing, and it does it really, really well. It doesn't overextend itself trying to be too videogamey, or trying to be an exercise game, or anything other than purely a dance game (although there is an unobtrusive workout mode, which simply adds a small display to the regular game that shows time you've played and estimated calories burned). If you've already purchased a Kinect or are planning to, unless you're Mr. Grumpy McRainCloud and absolutely loathe dancing, Dance Central is a no-brainer, and the best of the Kinect launch titles.

7 Highlights From L.A. Concert Saluting A&M Records Co-Founder Jerry Moss
As Peter Frampton said, "Thank you, Jerry Moss, for my entire career."

A&M Records has long been admired for being an artist-oriented label. That point was made again and again at "Live at the Music Center: Concert Celebrating A&M Records Co-Founder Jerry Moss," held on Saturday (Jan. 14) at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.
The show was hosted by David Foster and featured live performances by longtime A&M artists Herb Alpert, Amy Grant and Peter Frampton, as well as Dionne Warwick, among others.
The point about A&M's artist focus was made most vividly in a videotaped recollection from former A&M executive Jim Guerinot, who recalled looking at an A&M artist's declining sales fortunes and going to Moss with a blunt question. "Why are we even putting out this artist's 13th record, when it will likely lose money?" he asked. In his telling, Moss' reply was "It's because she's an A&M artist."
At A&M, it was that simple. The label believed in its artists and put them first. Alpert, who formed A&M with Moss in 1962, talked about that artist focus in his remarks which preceded a performance of his 1968 smash "This Guy's in Love With You."
"A&M was really special," Alpert said. "I know why they [the artists] liked us – We were on their side. I was at RCA [as an artist in the early 1960s]. They treated me terribly. I vowed that if I ever had a record company, it would have to be the artist first."
In 2020, Moss and his wife Tina donated $25 million to the Music Center to expand access to its programs to people of all backgrounds. This salute was the Music Center's way of saying thank you for that generous gift, and it was the participating artists' way of saying thank you for Moss' belief and support. As Peter Frampton said, "Thank you, Jerry Moss, for my entire career."
Here are seven highlights from the salute to Jerry Moss:
