I've been trying out new themes for my blog, which seems now to be centred around photography (or sometimes nothing).
One of them looked amazing, but didn't look quite right in tablet view. So it's back to Twenty Sixteen, but with a different (but still green) header image. It seems to work for me and the way I want to post.
I've realised with a shock how long it is since I last wrote anything on here. So I'm planning to make amends, and dip my toes back in the water, by posting pictures of some of the wildlife I've seen this summer. Starting with a ringlet butterfly. I'd never seen one before, although I don't think they are uncommon, so I was very excited!

Crisis And Coffee In Nicaragua
Observations and Thoughts on the 2019 Crop
Published: Feb 22nd, 2019
Coffee production has been growing over the last 5 years to hit a projected volume of 3 million 46 kg bags for the 2019 crop. It is the second largest contributor to the GDP, generating US$ 450 million in export value. It's considered a secondary mild and used primarily as a blender by roasters. It's been at the forefront of the Fairtrade and organic movement over the last 25 years.
It started in April 2018 with the government raising social security taxes and reducing payouts. Resulting civilian protests spiraled into a brutal stand off as the government put down any and all resistance with live fire, beatings and political arrests. Since April more than 500 civilians have been shot dead by the police and para-military and over 800 civilians arrested and incarcerated as political prisoners, some of whom have not been see for several months. Today there is an uneasy calm, especially in the cities, with small groups of riot police located all over the city. Under the threat of arrest of all their reporters the last of the free-press was forced to flee to Costa Rica last month.
The economy is in free-fall. Prior to April 2019 GDP was growing at 4.5 – 4.8 % For the last quarter GDP was minus 7%. Capital flight from the banks is now at US$ 1.8 billion dollars over the last 10 months. All bank finance and certificate of deposits are frozen as the banks try to prevent their reserves dipping below their allowable minimums. The central bank has released additional cash but it's nowhere near enough. Meanwhile, the government has just raised social security taxes by a substantial amount. Additionally, the government is just about to raise export taxes from 1% to 3% as they scramble for revenue that is drying up quickly.
THE CROP
Matagalpa Farm
Even cherry ripening
I traveled into Madriz and Nueva Segovia and then back down into Matagalpa. As expected all the dry mills were full, with coffee piled up in the patios in the commercial mills giving me the impression that many of them were short on space. We visited a limited number of plantations. In Nueva Segovia the plantations we saw were between 900 – 1000 mts and had finished picking. The last of the crop was drying on the patios. In Matagalpa the plantations were at 1400 mts and had another two weeks to go. Everyone we spoke to said that the crop had been very good. It started late, but had finished early. They said weather conditions had been perfect, with good even cherry ripening and an easy crop for pickers to harvest. Further-more drying conditions have been excellent with no issues (as last year) of late rains delaying the drying process. In the case of the mill in Ocotal that we visited they explained that the coffee was taking 9 - 12 days to dry compared to the 22 days to dry last year.
I pressed on the cost of production and was told that for the larger producers it was running at 140 cts/lb and for small producers with much lower input costs and family labor 120 cts/lb. In this down market the coop that I spoke to was still managing to pay producers above the cost of product. They estimated that with fair trade representing 30% their total sales they would be able to pay the producer an average of 125 – 130 cts/lb after all costs had been accounted for. A critical point to bear in mind as those of us who decide to support the producers through the crisis – fair tade and specialty coffees pricing are providing a tremendous safety net to Nicaraguan business.
I found travel to be straight forward. The roads are incredible, no potholes at all and better than the roads in my home area of northern Virginia. But everyone warned us to be extremely cautious. No traveling after dark, it is potentially dangerous for everyone including the hosts. Furthermore, we were told police road checks are now common. We experienced this, being stopped once and thoroughly questioned, with the police clearly being coordinated via an unmarked vehicle at the side of the road. We were told on several occasions, it's calm now but it could easily change.
Unless something changes very quickly, bank financing will not be available to producers for 2019 into the 2020 crop. Those we spoke with are making contingency plans. One of the coops discussed how they would start to tap into their reserves to support producers in the most critical areas of production management. A larger producer spoke of an outside institution that would continue with short-term financing. I heard that the larger exporters were also helping out where possible. It is possible the Nicaraguan coffee industry will contract as those who want to get out will leave, but there is a resilient determination among many others. As several Nicaraguans told me, they have been through crises before and they have a living memory of the '80s under a similar situation.
The 2019 crop is good and quality expectations are high.
Fairtrade and specialty coffee prices have given some coops and their members sufficient support to cover costs in an extremely difficult market.
Commercial coffees are well below the cost of production. Production costs for small producers about 120 cts/lb and large producers about 140 cts/lb.
The political and economic situation is in crisis and may well get a lot worse before it gets better. As a result and due to the freezing of production, finance in the coffee industry could easily contract by 20 - 25% next year.
Producers are determined to work through the crisis, they have been through crises before. But they need the support of the coffee industry, at least those who believe Nicaraguan coffees are important to them and to the industry.
"The support to Nicaragua's coffee production from the market is key to its survival during these critical times. This support could come in a variety of ways, financial assistance and/or premiums. However, Nicaragua also needs the Marketplace to be keenly aware of the sociopolitical crisis. To this end, it is crucial it send a message to the international community of the need for change, the need to redirect the country to a full-fledged Democracy, Do not allow another Venezuela"
-Nicaraguan Producer & Businessman

Home » Lifestyle » Two-thirds of city dwellers wish there was more greenery in their area
Two-thirds of city dwellers wish there was more greenery in their area
And 26 percent feel demotivated by the lack of green space in their area, while one in five feel isolated.
The results coincide with Blue Monday, the most miserable day of the year for many, which falls tomorrow (January 16).
More than half (51 percent) think there is not enough investment in urban greening, and 43 percent believe there is just too little space available.
But 57 percent would welcome more vertical greenery, such as living walls where plants are grown up the side of buildings, to make up for the lack of ground-level room in their city.
Others want more trees (43 percent), flower beds (38 percent), and grass (36 percent) – with 78 percent claiming greenery improves their mental wellbeing.
Those in Brighton are most keen to have more green roof terraces on their buildings (42 percent), while Birmingham residents would like more trees in their city (53 percent).
However, Liverpudlians crave greenery the most, with nine in ten wanting to see more of it where they live.
Meanwhile, those in Coventry are the most content with their access to the great outdoors, instead wanting to see more indoor plants in workplaces and public spaces (52 percent).
The research was commissioned by Biotecture, whose managing director, Richard Sabin, said: "Having access to green space shouldn't just be a bonus when it comes to living in a city – everyone should be able to easily enjoy nature.
"It's no surprise people feel demotivated and isolated if they don't have access to greenery – whether that's at their place of work, where they live, or where they socialise.
"But it's true cities can lack the space, which is why vertical living walls can be a great solution."
The majority of city dwellers (79 percent) enjoy living in an urban place, thanks to the convenience, career opportunities, and social life.
But more than two-thirds (67 percent) would consider moving to a greener suburb or the countryside to be able to enjoy nature more.
Those looking to move want cleaner air (40 percent), a calmer life (39 percent), more space (34 percent), and to be able to get outside more (32 percent), according to the study carried out via OnePoll.
However, 62 percent would consider staying in a metropolitan environment if there was more investment in urban greening.
The key benefits of living around plenty of greenery were considered to be having cleaner air (47 percent) and more wildlife (45 percent).
Richard Sabin added: "The countryside has its draws, but it's easy to see why people love living an urban life.
"Plants and greenery can make our cities healthier, happier, and more resilient to climate change.
"It's clear people can enjoy many of the benefits associated with more rural living, whilst enjoying everything our cities have to offer, if we prioritise and invest in urban greening."

Lotto Strike Dividends
Lotto Strike gives you the chance to win prizes by matching four numbers from 1 to 45 in the right order. There are four prize divisions in total so you can win just by getting one of your numbers in the same place. Find out more about the dividends and odds of winning Lotto Strike.
Unlike most other lotteries, you have to do more than simply matching the winning numbers in Lotto Strike. You must get them in exactly the right order too. For example, if you pick the numbers 7, 8, 9 and 10, those four numbers must be drawn in that order for you to win the Division 1 prize. Any other combination of those four numbers, such as 10, 9, 8 and 7, and you would not win the jackpot.
However, you can also win prizes in Lotto Strike by matching fewer than four numbers. In fact, you'll receive a prize just for matching one number in the correct position.
Prize Payouts
The prize for matching one number is a free entry, while the other payouts are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis. The table below shows how much of the prize fund is allocated to each division, along with the odds of winning in each category.

4 1 in Exact Order 1 in 12 Free Lotto Strike Entry $1.00 $1.00
The Division 4 prizes are paid out of the 45% allocated to Division 1, before the rest is given to anyone matching all four numbers in the correct order. The Division 1 prize starts at a minimum of $100,000 and is carried forward to the next draw if there are no winners.
If you win a prize of up to $1,000, you can claim it from any NSW Lotteries retail outlet in New South Wales or the Australian Capital Territory. Larger prizes can be claimed by post or by visiting the head office. Go the page on Claiming Prizes to learn more about what you need to do if you win.

Mr. Milinkovich gave an update on recruiting Corporate Sponsors.
The next meeting of the Communications Committee will take place on Tuesday April 9th 2012 at 6:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. GMT (11:30am Pacific; 2:30pm Eastern). Agenda and call-in info will be provided in advance of the meeting. The focus of the call will be the DC May 6 sidebar events. Ms. Tara Fusco with OS Integrators will join us to see how she may be able to help us with outreach for these events.
Mr. Fogel reports:
Almost ready with Drupal Election module, for Board elections and any other elections we may hold:
Had to resurrect dormant (lost) OpenSTV source code.
Configuring it now; will mail board-plus and Infra.

As always, a huge thank-you to Martin Michlmayr for doing so much infrastructure stuff!
No report; see New Business, Trade Mark Issue.
DC f2f week (Ms. Bryant)
Ms. Bryant reports:
Significant progress since our last board meeting; the License Clinic subgroup has an operational mailing list, a draft agenda, and has successfully reserved a room at the U.S. Library of Congress. A community event is coming together with an execution plan and many local supporters and potential sponsors. The latter, consistent with this working groups charter, will be presented to the board for their consent during New Business.
A staff briefing on the Hill was just committed to by Sen. Ron Wyden's office along with several recommendations to make the briefing most effective and well-attended. Forms must be completed asap to secure a briefing room there, but had not been provided by board meeting time.
Google has offered to provide food service during the board meeting, a reduction in cost we had not anticipated.
Mr. Fogel: evaluate voting solutions for board election. Status: incomplete but pledged to get something working in the near future.
Mr. Fogel: draft job description for future staff member. Status: done. Members were encouraged to review the material: http://wiki.opensource.org/staff
Mr. Michlmayr: update logo on trademark and license pages. Status: in progress, awaiting board discussion.
Mr. Michlmayr: send logo questions to the board for discussion. Status: done.

Mr. Michlmayr: ensure IMs who signed up at OSCON are subscribed to announcement list. Status: done.
Mr. Michlmayr: ask IMs who signed up at OSCON if they want to be on the members discuss list. Status: done.
Mr. Phipps: talk to GC regarding making decisions by email.
Mr. Phipps: ask affiliate members to propose candidates for election. Status: done
Mr. Radcliffe: create privacy statement for membership program.
Mr. Villa: provide feedback on privacy statement.
Mr. Villa: update FAQ to explain the importance of licensing your code correctly.
Membership Committee: create budget for membership outreach. Status: It is Ms. Bryant's recollection that this has been tabled until someone is hired to work with the board to create and implement the plan.
OSCON planning
Discussed the idea of a membership meeting. Mr. Milinkovich suggested it may be too soon. Mr. Wasserman suggested that if we have one, the board should be there, and that OSI would need to fund his travel in that event; he does not plan to attend this year.
Ms. Bryant raised the question of Mr. Phipps's earlier emailed request for travel underwriting to OSCON based on the opportunity to represent OSI as president at the CLS and other meetings, including a tutorial on Foundations. After some discussion, a motion was made and carried to sponsor his travel in the amount not to exceed $3,000.
Because Mr. Phipps is on point for OSCON planning this year, further discussion was set aside.
F2F planning - request for board consent to endorse Community event
Ms. Bryant presented the status of the f2f week and discussed the Community Summit. Mr. Fogel asked why we would be doing a community summit, when OSI has (in essence) no reputation for leadership in that area. Ms. Bryant offered three points of rationale:
The board had prefered an open public planning process and the idea of the summit was initiated and encouraged by the community in DC.
It represents an outstanding opportunity to enlist new memberships in all classes for OSI
The board could benefit from a focused discussions in specific areas, including the notional idea that many younger developers are viewing licensing as an unnecessary impediment to code-sharing.
Mr. Milinkovich commented that he had the same question/concern as Mr. Fogel, but both felt the summit made sense in that context.
A motion was made and passed to accept the Community Summit as an official OSI DC event.
IRC no option for board meetings unless whole meeting conducted on IRC
Previously discussed as desirable, a motion was made and passed: It will be the board's policy that participation in monthly board meetings shall only be considered if the member is present on the phone call, and that IRC is to be considered only to enhance communication, and is not substitute for attendance at the board meeting.
Board election: re-confirmation of Ms. Bryant, Mr. Milinkovich and Mr. Villa, and election of 2 board seats
Some discussion was held regarding the exact status of the current board roster, if Mr. Kon's and Ms. Sharma's terms had expired or had been extended. The general consensus of the group was, without the guidance of the board president, who had expected to join the call but was detained, and the board secretary, that elections would be set aside until the next meeting.
Trademark Issue: O/S Plaza on Twitter
No one has been able to determine how to get a two way communication going with "O/S Plaza" on Twitter, who is using an OSI logo for their icon. Mr. Milinkovich has been given a form by Twitter to file a trademark complaint, and will get it filled out.
Request for guest at DC meeting
Mr. Milinkovich said that Chris Aniszczyk had expressed an interest in running for the individual member Board seat, and had asked if he might be able to sit in on the DC F2F meeting on May 7-8 to better understand the board commitment. Ms. Bryant raised a concern that the individual board seat election and outreach process was still not well defined, but was supportive of having someone outside attend. Board members reached consensus and Mr. Milinkovich will extend an invitation to the DC meeting to Mr. Aniszczyk.
Mr. Michlmayr: update Board Policies to reflect the new IRC policy (or clarification of policy) and send an email to the board list.
Mr. Michlmayr: determine and educate the board on needed elections before the May 1 meeting.
Mr. Milinkovich: file form with Twitter for O/S Plaza misuse of OSI brand.
Mr. Phipps: write up a thank you for service for Ms. Sharma and Mr. Kon.
The next OSI BOD meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 1, 2013.

Under Minnesota law, every school and governmental unit that is eligible to participate in PERA is required to submit an Annual Exclusion Report at the end of each school or calendar year so that PERA staff can try to confirm that the membership exclusion is appropriate.
The report must provide information about all employees – including non-governing body elected officials – who worked any amount during the reporting year and were not members of a PERA Defined Benefit or Defined Contribution Plan or another Minnesota public retirement system. Due to a change in state law, governing-body officials (such as city council, school board, township supervisor) are no longer required to be reported on the Annual Exclusion Report.
For school districts, the exclusion report covers employment from July 1 through June 30 and is due by Aug. 31. All other employers submit reports based on the calendar year of Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, with reports due by Feb. 28 of the following year.
An exclusion code is required for each employee listed on the report. Instructions on how to complete an Exclusion Report, including who should and should not be listed can be found in Chapter 3 of the Employer Manual. A number of exclusion codes have been changed or eliminated, so please review the list before completing your report.
Effective July 1, 2014, employers with internet and email capabilities are required to submit their Exclusion Report using PERA's Employer Reporting and Information System (ERIS).
This change takes effect with 2014 reports that are due from schools between July 1, 2014, and Aug. 31, 2014, and from all other employers between Jan. 1, 2015, and Feb. 28, 2015. A revised paper Annual Exclusion Report form is available to employers who are exempt from ERIS reporting. Please note that the separate Certification of Annual Exclusion Report form is no longer required as long as the person completing the form provides his or her name, job title, and daytime phone number on the Exclusion Report.
Use ERIS to create your own online Exclusion Report and submit it to PERA electronically.
Send a data file that meets PERA's file format specifications. This can be a text file (.txt) with fixed length fields or an Excel file. (.xlsx preferred, but .xls is acceptable).
Employers who choose to transmit a data file are first asked to submit a test file through ERIS to ensure that it meets the file format specifications. To submit a test file, log on to ERIS and select Transmit File. Click the blue link labeled Transmit Test File and select Exclusion Reporting File.

On February 28, President Trump delivered his first speech to a joint session of Congress, striking an optimistic, bipartisan tone. In his speech, Trump touted the executive actions he has taken since his inauguration and outlined some broad objectives that he plans to pursue in conjunction with Congress.
As mentioned in last month's column, Trump's pro-law-enforcement rhetoric appears to be at odds with his administration's reported funding priorities at the Department of Justice, as early statements from the White House have indicated that the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office is under consideration for elimination. Maintaining, and if possible increasing, COPS grant funding is a top priority for PORAC and is one of the key items that the Association's members discussed with lawmakers during the annual Capitol Hill fly-in.
Every year, Congress must fund the government through the annual appropriations process. That process is initiated when the president submits a budget to Congress. The president's budget essentially functions as a recommendation, at which point Congress considers and ultimately passes a budget resolution that sets caps on allowable spending for various federal agencies and programs. Working under these budget caps, the Appropriations Committees in the House and Senate begin to formulate 12 spending bills that encompass the entire federal budget.
Members of the Appropriations Committees wield significant influence as to what appears in the 12 spending bills. Prior to committee consideration of the spending bills, appropriators submit their own funding priorities to committee leaders — identifying federal funding and programs that they believe should be maintained, increased, cut back or eliminated altogether. In advance of the deadlines for these member-specific spending submissions, PORAC strongly advocated for the preservation of a number of effective law enforcement programs, especially the COPS Office, in meetings and in correspondence with appropriators.
Under a regular appropriations process, the House Appropriations Committee reports its appropriations bills to the full House for consideration in May and June, while the Senate Appropriations Committee usually begins reporting its appropriations bills in June and begins floor consideration of the bills in June or July. It is difficult to say how the other policy debates in Congress — including on the Affordable Care Act and tax reform — could impact the timing of the appropriations process.
Much of the attention on Capitol Hill has been consumed by the Affordable Care Act deliberations, but budget debates will soon come to the forefront, as government funding for fiscal year (FY) 2017 (which runs through September) is set to expire at the end of April. Republican leaders in Congress had hoped to pass a comprehensive FY2017 appropriations package in December that would have funded the government for the entire fiscal year, but the incoming Trump administration specifically requested that Congress instead pass a stopgap measure that would allow the new president to establish spending priorities. Thus, before adjourning in December, Congress passed a continuing resolution that will fund the government at last year's levels through April 28, 2017.
Typically, Congress and the White House would work through the federal budgets for each fiscal year in chronological order, but Press Secretary Sean Spicer recently stated that the administration wants to address the FY2018 budget before making final spending decisions in the FY2017 budget. "Once we have a handle on FY18, we can start to backfill '17," Spicer said. President Trump presented his preliminary budget to Congress on March 16. It included drastic spending cuts across the federal government, as he has vowed to reduce its size and cost to taxpayers.
Since the start of the new Congress in January, PORAC has been actively monitoring legislation that impacts law enforcement and has taken a position on a number of bills. Below is one bill that PORAC has expressed support for, as well as one that the Association opposes.
Synthetic Abuse and Labeling of Toxic Substances (SALTS) Act (S. 207): PORAC supports this bill, introduced by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), which is intended to make it easier to prosecute the sale and distribution of synthetic drugs. In recent years, some drug manufacturers have been deliberately exploiting weak labeling laws in order to sell products that, while marked "not for human consumption," are widely recognized as synthetic drugs that often have dangerous side effects that threaten the safety of the user and other members of the community. S. 207 allows for the consideration of additional factors when determining whether a synthetic product is intended for human consumption — including its known use. This legislative change would make such products (and their producers) easier to prosecute, which in turn would help to drastically reduce the public availability of these deadly substances. S. 207 currently has 11 co-sponsors, including California's senior senator, Dianne Feinstein.
Corey Jones Act (H.R. 158): PORAC opposes this bill, introduced by Representative Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), which would mandate (as a prerequisite for receiving COPS grant funds) that police departments prohibit plainclothes officers from engaging in routine traffic stops in unmarked vehicles. COPS grants are a critically important source of funding for state and local law enforcement agencies, and the ability to dress in plainclothes while conducting routine traffic stops is an important safety strategy. Threatening the inaccessibility of grant funds based on the use of an effective policing tool would be counterproductive to public safety efforts.
PORAC Members Advocate for Law Enforcement in D.C.
In late March, more than a dozen PORAC members traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with nearly 40 lawmakers and discuss the Association's legislative priorities. Among the issues that PORAC discussed were funding for COPS grants, 9-1-1 emergency system reform and responsibly updating the Electronic Communications Privacy Act. A detailed recap of PORAC's fly-in will be included in next month's issue.

RateLimitedLogger [![CircleCI badge](https://circleci.com/gh/Swrve/rate-limited-logger.svg?style=svg&circle-token=a2d7a24d30021fc04658b58c24c1758e891e66fc)](https://circleci.com/gh/Swrve/rate-limited-logger)
========

An SLF4J-compatible, simple, fluent API for rate-limited logging in Java.

Logging is vital for production-ready, operable code; however, in certain
situations, it can be dangerous.  It is easy to wipe out throughput of a
performance-critical backend component by several orders of magnitude with disk
I/O in a performance hotspot, caused by a misplaced log call, or input data
changing to something slightly unexpected.

With RateLimitedLogger, however, this risk is avoided.  A RateLimitedLog object
tracks the rate of log message emission, imposes an internal rate limit, and
will efficiently suppress logging if this is exceeded.  When a log is
suppressed, at the end of the limit period, another log message is output
indicating how many log lines were suppressed.

This style of rate limiting is the same as the one used by UNIX syslog; this
means it should be comprehensible, easy to predict, and familiar to many users,
unlike more complex adaptive rate limits.

RateLimitedLogger wraps your existing SLF4J loggers, so should be easy to plug
into existing Java code.

## Binaries:

This module is available in the Maven Central repository at
http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Ca%3A%22rate-limited-logger%22

WARNING: version 2.0.0 drops support for Java 6 and 7, and is Java 8-only. It
also requires (minor) code changes to use the java.time classes instead of
Joda-Time.  If you still need support for Java 6 or 7, use version 1.1.0 or
earlier.

Maven:

```
  <dependency>
      <groupId>com.swrve</groupId>
      <artifactId>rate-limited-logger</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.0</version>
  </dependency>
```

Gradle:

```
  compile group: 'com.swrve', name: 'rate-limited-logger', version: '2.0.0'
```

Sample code:

```
  private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

  private static final RateLimitedLog rateLimitedLog = RateLimitedLog
            .withRateLimit(logger)
            .maxRate(5).every(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
            .build();
```

This will wrap an existing SLF4J Logger object, allowing a max of 5 messages
to be output every 10 seconds, suppressing any more than that.

## More documentation

Javadoc can be found at http://swrve.github.io/rate-limited-logger/javadoc/2.0.0/

## Sample output

```
  22:16:03.584 [main] INFO Demo - message 1
  22:16:03.604 [main] INFO Demo - message 2
  22:16:03.634 [main] INFO Demo - message 3
  22:16:04.986 [RateLimitedLogRegistry-0] INFO Demo - (suppressed 39 logs similar to 'message {}' in PT1.0S)
```

## Interpolation

Each log message has its own internal rate-limiting AtomicLong counter.  In
other words, if you have 2 log messages, you can safely reuse the same
RateLimitedLog object to log both, and a high rate of one will not cause the
other to be suppressed as a side effect.

However, this means that if you wish to include dynamic, variable data in the
log output, you will need to use SLF4J-style templates, instead of ("foo " +
bar + " baz") string interpolation. For example:

```
  rateLimitedLog.info("Just saw an event of type {}: {}", event.getType(), event);
```

"{}" will implicitly invoke an object's toString() method, so toString() does
not need to be called explicitly when logging.  (This has obvious performance
benefits, in that those toString() methods will not be called at all once the
rate limits have been exceeded or if the log-level threshold isn't reached.)

A RateLimitedLog object has a limited capacity for the number of log messages
it'll hold; if over 1000 different strings are used as the message template for
a single RateLimitedLog object, it is assumed that the caller is accidentally
using an already-interpolated string containing variable data in place of the
template, and the current set of logs will be flushed in order to avoid an
OutOfMemory condition.  This has a performance impact, but at least it won't
lose data!

## Performance

In tests using JMH with Java 7 on a 2012 Macbook Pro, using RateLimitedLog with
logger.info("string") ran in, on average, 73 nanoseconds per op, with a P99.99
of 2000 ns/op and a P99.999 of 12000 ns/op, once the rate limit was exceeded.

Where performance is critical, note that you can obtain a reference to the
LogWithPatternAndLevel object for an individual log template and level, which will
then avoid a ConcurrentHashMap and AtomicReferenceArray lookup:

```
  ref = logger.get("string", Level.INFO)
  ref.log()
```

Using this approach, the average post-ratelimit time dropped to 56 nanoseconds
per op, with a P99.99 of 1000 ns/op and a P99.999 of 8992 ns/op.

More details: https://github.com/Swrve/rate-limited-logger/tree/master/jmh-tests

## Thread-Safety

The RateLimitedLogger library is thread-safe.  Under heavy load, though, it is
possible for more log messages to be exceeded than the limit specifies, for a
short period after the limit is exceeded (typically on the order of a duration
of a few milliseconds).

## Dependencies

All versions are minimum versions -- later versions should also work fine.

- Java 8
- SLF4J API 1.7.7
- Findbugs Annotations 1.0.0
- Findbugs JSR-305 Annotations 2.0.2

version 1.1.0 of RateLimitedLogger supports Java 7, but requires Guava 15.0 and
Joda-Time 2.3 in addition to the above.

I think Willow will give Tim a special surprise at home for being a hero since he got shot.
I hope that awful Uncle Eddie got what he deserves. And that Jason will be okay.
I'm just glad Tim made it.
@txinaz I say he is dead.
Dear Mark Alexander Smith. I have another question for you: When Is Russell Going To Propose Marriage To His Girlfriend And To His Future Wife Linda After They've Been Boyfriend And Girlfriend and Dating For Over One Year On?. And Please Answer My Very Own Question Please!. And Love From Amar Charles Cutler As Your Reader Of Your Work and Your Life and Your Appearances.
@AmarCharlesCutler Maybe one day ^^.
Tim, much like Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Last Action Hero, seems to have barely a flesh wound. Thank goodness, it look'd pretty bleak there for a moment.
Though I wonder if that random guy's insurance will cover gunshot damage?
Russell is certainly not a random guy :P He's just got his car damaged again after all when Ed shot at it in the previous strips!

Leamington woman's frustration at mum's cancer care at hospitals
Published: 09:36 Updated: 09:42 Friday 17 May 2019
A woman from Leamington has become increasing frustrated with the care her mother has received before and after her cancer diagnosis.
Amanda Labarbera has hit out at the way her mum Rose Kyberd, 55, has been treated by Warwick Hospital.
Rose Kyberd. Photo submitted.
She said that leading up to Rose's diagnosis of incurable oesophageal cancer there were a number of delays and that after diagnosis they were left not knowing what was happening.
"We were told the cancer was incurable but that it could be treated but they said they couldn't tell us what treatments as they weren't sure about the type of cancer other than it was in her oesophagus.
"They did a CT scan and it showed widespread swelling in lymph nodes which could mean a number of things such as the cancer had spread, it was a different cancer or it was nothing.
"After that there were issues with getting a biopsy and it was recommended we have a PET scan.
Warwick Hospital GV.
"We had no offer of any oncology support and we just wanted to know what could happen going forward.
"We were referred to Oxford for the PET scan but there was a four-week waiting list and when we rang the hospital about this we got told 'it is what it is'.
"I then contacted them to ask to speak to the chief executive (at Warwick Hospital) and then ended up speaking to the patient experience people who said people would ring back but no one did.
"I then spoke to someone in the management team and told them about no cancer support help or oncologist and they said they would follow up.
"We then got told we were being referred to University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire (UHCW) as there was no room at Warwick. I then had to chase up about that because no referrals had been received.
"The person at UHCW rang back quickly and gave mum all the information and they are now in charge of her care.
"They have guidelines about cancer patients receiving diagnosis and treatment within 62 days at the time we were moved to UHCW it was more than 80 days and I think it is going to be more like 100 days, almost double the guidelines for treatment.

"We were also told that mum was entitled to free prescriptions and she has been paying all this time. She was also offered no pain relief and I had to ask for tablets in liquid form and nutrients drinks because she couldn't swallow well.
"Mum felt like the team at Warwick Hospital were leaving her to die."
Since University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire took over Rose's care Amanda says they are still no clearer about treatment.
She said: "Since moving to UHCW we still have no treatment plan and there's no sign of an oncologist. We had to wait three weeks for a PET scan and waiting for results to potentially find out of a referral to a surgeon for a biopsy but we are probably looking at another five weeks before anything happens.
"I get UHCW are doing their best and they are more open with us but we get stonewalled about speaking to an oncologist. They specialise in cancer and can answer questions and tell you about possible treatments.
"You are left with this 'what if?' view and it is difficult as a family. I am just sat back watching mum deteriorate before my eyes and I don't have anyone to ask questions to.
"I just hope by telling our story the trust looks at its policies and procedures."
A spokesperson from South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust: "Due to patient confidentiality we are unable to comment on any specific cases, however in every scenario treating patients with the utmost compassion is the Trust's main priority.
"We recognise the importance of regular communication with patients and our clinicians ensure all patients are kept up to date with their treatment plans and supporting information.
"If any patient feels they have not been treated accordingly, we would strongly encourage them to raise this through our Patient Advice Liason service, so we can thoroughly investigate and respond directly.
"Urgent cancer referrals have increased significantly in the last year, which has been a challenge for the organisation.
"However, ensuring all cancer patients receive diagnosis and treatment within 62 days is a priority for the Trust and after extensive work in this area performance has improved significantly throughout 2019."
A spokesman for University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust said: "Like South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust, we're unable to comment on individual cases.
"We always aim to be open, honest and transparent in the care and compassion we provide.
"All feedback is used to further improve the patient experience in our hospitals."


There are 8 nature, exciting trails available for trekking lovers around Fraser's Hill. Each of the trail's name came from a pioneer naturalist. The remarkable trails will take tourist through the forest where visitors could enjoy its beauty, and watch the variety of birds species here as well as wild animals living here. The favorite trails at Fraser Hill include: Maxwell Trail,Abu Suradi Trail, Kindersley Trail,Rompin Trail, Bishops Trail, Mager Trail, Hemmant Trail, and the Pine Tree Trail. If the weather is wet, your tour guide would not allow you to hike the bush trails, which is more risky. During raining season, hiker's vision might be restricted by the mist and low light while it is raining,but this normally will not stop hikers from enjoying themselves and capturing the day on digital cameras. Guide will always make sure the safety of hikers.It is quite frequent that certain individual might decide to venture down a bush track alone without informing anyone. Luckily the guide will always able to track and save the lost hicker.
One of Fraser's Hill's most favorite visitor activities is bird watching. There are more than 250 species of birds been reported here, including the popularly know colourful pheasants,magnificent hornbills, rare doves, sleek eagles and endemic species. At the time of certain times of the year, migratory birds from Japan,Russia, or China visit Fraser's Hill to find pasture and escape from freezing winters. They sojourn for a few months, and then fly south towards New Zealand and Australia for warmer areas, before going back to their originaire lands at later time. A similar migratory journey involving birds lovers traveling from from Thailand, as well as Singapore to attend the yearly gathering with birds.Thousands and thousands of bird watching guests also come from Europe,Australia, UK, as well as from Southeast Asia countries.
Well-known bird watching areas include secluded roads, such as those running around Jalan Girdle, towards Jeriau and High Pines,along the Gap, and also jungle walks like Bishop trails and Hemmant trails.Numerous birdwatchers also visiting Fraser Hill, purposely to participate in Fraser's Hill International Bird Competition. The bird race is a tradition held annually since 1988, together-organised by Tourism Pahang, Malaysia Nature Society and Fraser's Hill Development Corporation. Teams from around the world contend with locals to sight, recognize and document as many bird species as they can.
Jeriau waterfall is a well-liked attraction which located at about 4km from Bukit Fraser's town center, connected by Jalan Semantan via a steep, narrow road that descends dramatically after Smokehouse Hotel. A little river that feeds right into a multi-tiered waterfall, as a result of many years of soil erosion and tourist development have marred natural landscape, now an unpleasant mess of drains, structures and walls along areas of the stream.The trail to Jeriau Waterfall is really a spacious and well-paved footpath, following a river's edge with garden shelters, benches as well as small play grounds for kids. Following a five to eight minute walk, the road breaks into a number of stairs with guard railings towards the primary falls. At this time, the stream becomes inaccessible because it abruptly cascades lower several smooth rockfaces, developing a couple of tiers of small pools. Due to the dense foliage and steep terrain. At the bottom, the main falls may come off as a frustration in exchange for the rainforest trek, having lost its former wonder to development and pollution.


I build custom software for remote control model hardware of various kinds. The most successful of those is DeviationTx, an open source replacement for the firmware on a number of RC transmitters. I did not create deviationTx, but have been a contributor to it for a number of years now. For deviationTx, I write documentation, create custom model.ini files, and address issues like feature requests and bug reports. Beyond deviationTx, I work on things like receiver firmware, telemetry sensors and tools in general. While there are lots of things I'd like to do, lack of resources - either time to work on them, or money to purchase the required hardware, or any of a number of other things - prevents me from doing that.
Sadly, this software isn't always easy to use. Much of it is innovative, taking a more powerful but different approach to things than the commercially available software. DeviationTx justifiably has a reputation of being difficult to use, and in particular to configure for a specific model. Creating models for aircraft is sufficiently difficult that commercial firmware vendors provide such configurations for the aircraft they support. Their software is generally easier to configure than deviationTx, so deviationTx having no such support creates a serious problem for some people. Most of the rest of the software I work on is in even worse shape, as there is no community supporting it, just me, so the hit-or-miss documentation is mostly miss.
I'm on Patreon to address both of those issues. I offer software support contracts for the software I work on - again most notably deviationTx. You get the same kind of services that better commercial firmware vendors offer via their customer support line, but tweaked for open source software. So if you want commercial support, you can now buy it from me by the month. The money from this goes to support my hobby habit - meaning buying the hardware I want to develop software for or otherwise support.
Support for the open source software I work on. At the bottom level, this is trivial customization. A build that is no longer available, or from someone else's repository for your hardware. Porting a configuration file to a different transmitter, or changing it slightly. At higher levels, you can get custom configurations written from scratch. You can always request anything at a lower reward level than you are paying for.
The big one first. This patreon page is solely my responsibility. While I have an affiliation with the devationTx project as a contributor and supporter, the deviationTx project has no affiliation with this page, no responsibility for it's contents or any offers on the page, and no obligations of any kind resulting from what occurs on this page.
First is feasibility. You can't request something I determine is impossible, like porting deviationTx to the TH9X. How close you can come is a judgement call.
Second is a limit of one request a month. You may make requests for any lower level reward, and multiple lower level requests may be allowed in a month at my discretion.
Third is ownership. This is not work for hire; I hold the copyright to all work produced; you will get a license to do whatever you want with it (sell, post modify, etc). I expect most work to be made available to all users.
Support request involving hardware must in general be for hardware I have available.
Also, while I reference deviationTx in a number of places, this actually applies to any software I work on regularly. At least for dealing with the software.
You should contact me on Patreon to make a request. I'll be adding posts on what information to provide for different rewards at a later date.
Customized software configurations. Anything that can be done with a configuration change of publicly available builds, or minor changes to an existing deviationTx model file. Changing a switch, or adding a feature like throttle hold to an otherwise unused switch. If it involves more both more than one switch and more than one channel, it's probably at the next level.
More extensively customized configuration. For builds, this would typically imply creating a configuration from scratch. For model files, porting to a model that doesn't have as many switches as the model uses.
A deviaitonTx custom model file. Message me on Patreon with the model information and what you'd like.
Custom features/bug fixes for any software I work on. These are subject to approval, and there is no guarantee that they will be added to the distribution once they've been written.
Help getting a protocol supported by deviation. This is an exception to the "I must have the hardware" rule. If the hardware is available for less than your current support level, it'll be purchased.
Port deviationTx to a new transmitter.
Once subscriptions reach $100/month, buying transmitters so I can properly support them becomes a priority. A 7E will be the first purchase, then probably an F12E to support the F series transmitters. After that, we'll see.

Depending on whom you talk to, there is anywhere between 1 million and 7 million pigeons residing in New York City. Squirrels? We really don't know, although there have been some recent attempts to try to count those critters.
Either way, love them or hate them, there probably isn't anything more defining for New York's amazing parks than the presence of pigeons, part of the same avian family as doves. Who hasn't seen (or actually been) someone who goes to one of our hundreds of parks to feed the birds?
The parks department, however, wants to take this away. And while their reasons might seem to make sense on paper, they don't really stand up when it comes to practice.
The two biggest issues? Birds and critters shouldn't eat the food people do, because a lot of it is just as bad for them as it is for people. And if these animals get too comfortable around humans, what's to stop them from being aggressive?
In all the decades that New Yorkers have fed pigeons and squirrels, it's almost impossible to find any incidents of healthy animals attacking someone randomly. In fact, if there was anyone who probably crossed the line when it came to man's relationship with park animals, it was the famed inventor Nikola Tesla, who is said to have actually fallen in love with one of the birds he rescued from a city park.
We don't know whether that's true or just the stuff of legend. But even if it were, that wouldn't be enough to not just discourage people from feeding the small animals they see in parks, but actually making it illegal.
A $50 fine doesn't sound terrible —unless it's for something that shouldn't even be a crime. It would be hard to enforce, and would unnecessarily remove the joy many have in bringing something for the wildlife that inhabit our green spaces not far from the busy streets of city life.
We all should care about animals, and the desire to stave off feeding pigeons and squirrels comes from a good place, we're sure. But this is a little too much.


This meeting occurs on Thursday, April 18th at 7pm. sharp.
The monthly meeting is at the Northern Alberta Crop Diversification Centre, 17507 Fort Rd. in NE Edmonton.
On Fort Rd. continue past Alberta Hospital for 100 metres until the first right turn. Then a 100 metres later , you come to the gate of the Crop Diversification Centre.
The gates will be locked at 7pm. If you come late, don't try and climb over the electric fence.
Just call 780-460-7773 and beg to be let in.
Someone might be available to unlock the gate, if the meeting hasn't started.
You can pay $25 annual memberships to treasurer Alexis Brown who will probably be near the front entrance to take memberships throughout the meeting.
Make cheques out to 'Edmonton and District Beekeepers Association'.

We highly recommend the proper use of a crate to aid in housebreaking the puppy, and to prevent destructive chewing when you're not watching. We prefer the fiberglass Vari-Kennels to wire crates, as they are more den-like and many dogs feel more secure. Also we have found them safer as an avid chewer can do serious damage to teeth by chewing the bars of a wire crate (though we have also seen avid chewers do damage to Vari-Kennels too!). The Vari-Kennel 400 is the size we use for our Beardies. It measures 36"L x 24"W x 26"H. Beardie puppies grow very rapidly so it would be a waste of money to purchase a smaller crate initially, as the pup may outgrow it in just a few months.
An ex-pen is a fold-up wire enclosure, generally consisting of 8, 2' wide panels. An ex-pen comes in very handy if the pup must be left alone for long periods - too long a time to be kept confined to a crate - such as when its owners are at work. The pen provides a secure enclosure, large enough that the pup can stretch his legs and move around a bit, and gives you the peace of mind that the pup is safe and not getting into trouble. During housetraining the pen gives the pup enough space that if he can't yet hold it and must go to the bathroom, he is not forced to sit in it as he would be in a crate. This is important because if the pup becomes used to lying in his mess, which goes against his natural inclination to be clean, he will be much harder to housetrain. Ex-pens come in various heights, but we use the 42"H ones.
Every dog needs these, and there are dozens of styles to choose from. Keep in mind that the leash should be comfortable in your hand so avoid those made of chain, or those that are very thin. 1/2" or 3/4" flat nylon or leather leashes, with a length of about 6' are best. Flexi-leashes, retractable leashes that extend to 20' or more, are great for giving your dog a bit more freedom to romp, for instance in a park, without the danger of him/her being off leash. If you have never used one before, practice until you are comfortable with it before using it with your dog. If you are unable to quickly retract it, it just becomes a very long leash which can get tangled around things, and can be dangerous if your dog is headed towards something harmful (eg. the road, an aggressive dog, a person who doesn't like dogs, etc.) and you are unable to properly use the leash to stop him/her. Also, the standard flexi leads use a fairly thin round line which can cause injury if it gets wrapped around your leg or you inadvertently try to grab it in an emergency. Some newer ones use flat 1/2" nylon for the whole line which is much better.
Many dog owners use a 1/2" or 3/4" flat nylon, quick-release, adjustable collar. They're great for pups who grow by the day, and probably do the least damage, either breakage or matting, to adult coats. The only drawback is that should the dog be seriously startled there is the possibility of him/her backing out of the collar. Plus I've found I often trap hair in the snap when I'm putting them on.
For these reasons my favourite collar is called a nylon Premier collar. This is a flat nylon adjustable martingale style collar, which slips over the dog's head and tightens enough to be secure if the dog tries to back out but not enough to choke. They are available in the US from J & J Dog Supply, and are available locally here in Ottawa from a couple of sources.
Another collar widely favoured by Beardie owners is the White Pine 9/16" soft slip collars. They are made of a parachute type material which slips nicely over the coat, unlike many collars which will break coat or cause tangles if left on for long periods. They are available direct from the company at White Pine Outfitters, or in Canada they can be ordered from Pawsazz.
Some Beardies can have a reaction to plastic dishes, resulting in loss of pigment on their nose and lips. For this reason, and for ease of cleaning and prevention of bacteria growth, we prefer stainless steel dishes.
When purchasing toys for your dog, safety should be the primary concern. We have found the safest, sturdiest toys to be: rubber Kong toys (and now bones, balls, and other shapes made from the same super strong rubber), large marrow bones, Nylabones, Galileo bones, and knotted rope toys. The Kong toys and marrow bones can be made more interesting by putting peanut butter, liverwurst, or cheez-whiz inside them. Depending on how destructive or avid a chewer your dog is, other toys that may be fine are stuffed toys, Gumabones, rubber tugs or rings, or large sturdy vinyl squeaky toys. Some Beardies will be gentle with the latter bunch of toys, while others will demolish them quickly and can swallow pieces of them, which can be dangerous. Keep in mind that with the very hard toys such as marrow bones and Galileo bones can cause tooth wear or possibly breakage in aggressive chewers, and some dogs can chew sharp 'splinters' off of certain marrow bones, which can be potentially dangerous if swallowed.
This is a substantial and informative publication on the breed.
Not a step by step training book, this book is about the relationship between humans and dogs, and the common misconceptions that often lead to problems. This book will help you understand how dogs think and learn, giving you the 'dog sense' necessary to raise a well-behaved dog and develop a good relationship with him.
Not specifically a how-to dog-training book, this book discusses operant conditioning, the basis behind clicker training, and how it can be successfully applied to both people and dogs to 'shape' the behaviour you desire.
A wonderful little book about the body language dogs use to communicate with each other, and with us, particularly the little behaviours that indicate the dog is stressed or upset, and how to use these signals yourself to communicate with your dog.
A super book on the body language dogs use and what it means. Many problems occur when owners simply don't understand what their dog is trying to tell them through their behavioural displays and body language. Using many case histories, this book will teach you how to better 'read' your dog and respond appropriately.

What is the future of bibliography in the digital age? Because most people think of a bibliography as simply an index of citations used to locate relevant material for their research, it might be argued that the growing ubiquity of full-text search engines is making human-compiled bibliographies superfluous. I believe that this is not the case. The current digital, data-rich environment has changed research practices in fundamental ways, but this environment has not eliminated the usefulness of specialized bibliographies. The changes do, however, force us to rethink what a bibliography can and should do. We are in the midst of a wholesale transformation in the way that scholarship takes place. How knowledge has come to be produced, saved, and shared is reformulating what scholars do. The new field of digital humanities is pushing the boundaries of this information-based world, and many scholars are building extraordinary new research tools.
On April 1 - 3, 2013, the Laubichler lab was very pleased to welcome two guests from the Santa Fe Institute: computational ecologist Dr. Jennifer Dunne and theoretical biologist Dr. Peter Stadler. Dr. Dunne gave the School of Life Sciences seminar, titled "The roles of human foragers in North Pacific marine food webs." The visit was a great opportunity to discuss the challenges and future directions of computational approaches to research in the history and philosophy of science.
The ASU Origins Project is hosting an exciting panel on March 30, 2013, titled "The Storytelling of Science."

Compact portable cameras (action cameras and spy cameras for most people) have come a long way since their introduction in the consumer market a few years back and so today many athletes consider them to be essential gadgets to record both their work and personal life. There are always some people who may look down on such devices because they simply can't compete with normal handheld models when it comes to image quality and features but action cameras are constantly improving in terms of specifications and on top of that they also get smaller something that allows manufacturers to place them even inside Wearables such as watches, hats, shirts, buttons, belts and glasses. Rollei has been manufacturing action cameras for many years now but it wasn't until last year that they released sunglasses with built-in action cameras and today we will be taking a look at their Sunglasses Cam 100 model.
