In $prefixLengthsPsr4 array as 'M' => array( 'Modulename' => 11, ), The key value indicates the first letter of module name and the numerical value is the length of modulename +1(for /). 2. In $prefixDirsPsr4 array as 'modulename' => array ( 0 => DIR . '/../..' . '/module/modulename/src', ),

Cholesterol levels rise in winter, study finds
New study finds patients' levels of 'bad' cholesterol were 8 percent higher in the winter than in summer.

Did you know that cholesterol levels can vary by season? That's the finding of a new Brazilian study that looked at the cholesterol levels of patients from winter months compared to summer months.
When patients in Campinas, Brazil had their cholesterol checked in the winter, their levels of LDL, or "bad" cholesterol rose an average of 7 milligrams per deciliter which was about 8 percent higher, on average, than those of patients whose blood was tested during the summer. In the summer, levels of HDL, or "good" cholesterol, were about 5 milligrams per deciliter higher.
"In the winter, people should be careful with their cholesterol levels," said lead researcher Dr. Filipe Moura, a doctoral student at the State University of Campinas.
Moura's team collected data on about a quarter of a million people who had their cholesterol checked in primary-care centers in the Brazilian city of Campinas between 2008 and 2010.
Why would cholesterol levels be higher in winter than in other seasons? Researchers speculate that the lack of sun could be an issue as vitamin D has been shown to improve the ratio of good cholesterol to bad. And it doesn't take a scientist to know that people tend to exercise less and eat more heavy, meat-based comfort foods in the winter than they do in the summer.
Can this seasonal change in cholesterol found in Brazil translate to higher cholesterol in the winter worldwide? Winters in Campinas are mild and dry, so Moura thinks the changes may be even more dramatic in the United States and other areas that have bigger climate changes between winter and summer.
The study findings were scheduled to be presented March 9 at the annual meeting of the American College of Cardiology in San Francisco.

2008-12-15 Note: I have recently re-posted this blog entry with a few changes to the wording and a corrected message number. You can view the rewritten entry at http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/db2zos/can-your-db2-for-zos-subsystem-run-out-of-log-rbas-28822.
Absolutely. However, don't get to overly concerned right now. If it should happen to you, and we are about to discuss if you are a possible candidate, DB2 Level 2 support knows what to do to help you out of that situation. I'm hearing this topic come up more often in the last year. I guess some shops are getting mature enough that that they could be positioned to run into this issue. When someone does ask, it does brings a small smile to my face. You see I can remember many years ago, that if this question were to come up, we would just sort of shrugged it off with a comment that someone would have to write a lot of log records before one would actually run out of log relative byte addresses (RBAs). BTW, DB2 just passed its 25th birthday, so "getting mature" is becoming very much a reality. If you are concerned about this, then there's good news for you. If you are even the slightest bit current on your maintenance (meaning you have applied DB2 for z/OS maintenance in the last two years) you already have the function installed on your DB2 that will warn you well in advance of you running out of log RBAs. Back on July, 24, 2006, APAR PK27611 was closed. This APAR, delivered as a hiper, provides a warning message when you are getting close to the highest RBA. If DB2 has reached (or exceeded) a certain RBA value, DB2 will issue DSN032I DSNJ032I. This check is performed at DB2 restart and at active log switch. Let's look at why this could eventually be an issue. DB2 has one log single log. Although you may allocate it across multiple volumes, it is in reality a series of log records written one after the other. On the very first time DB2 is start, the very first log record (as an example) is written at relative byte address 0 (zero). This is the first position on the log. If that log record were 100 bytes in length, the second log record would be written starting at offset 100, 100 bytes from the beginning of the log. If the that second log record were 500 bytes log, the third log record would be written at offset of 600 bytes from the beginning of the log. This is the process continuously followed by DB2. The log RBA is the relative byte address, the distance in bytes, from the start of the log. The highest log value allowed in DB2 is x'FFFFFFFFFFFF'. That's 281,474,976,710,655 (trillion) in decimal. When DB2's RBA exceeds x'F80000000000' the warning messages start. If DB2 makes it to x'FFFF00000000' it thinks it has critical problem and DB2 will issue the DSN032I message and then shut down. To put into some perspective, and assuming my math is correct, if you were to write ONLY 100 byte log records (an arbitrary number I grabbed out of the air for this example) and you could write 100 log records per second, it would take DB2 just under 900 years to fill up the log. I know that a write rate 100 log records per second is probably low for some shops and maybe log records that are 100 bytes long may even be short for some shops so you need to adjust the above numbers to match your shop. There is a second way to look at all this... Let's make the assumption that all of your log records are still 100 bytes long on average. This assumption could be high, it could be low, or it could be just plain absurd. Like above, it's used here for demonstration purposes only. Based on the maximum number of bytes that can be recorded on the DB2 log, you could write just under 3 trillion (that's with a "T") log records before running out of space. Pretty cool. Getting back to the point of this post... there is now a warning message (or has been for 2 yeas) to let you know when you are getting close to the "end of your log".
we have done the ""rba reset"" procedure twice (1 datasharing and one non-DS subsystem) and will be doing it again early next year.
The APAR pretty much explains what to do. We had no problems except it is a pain !! We opened a ""marketing request"" with our IBM rep because this is something that we might have to do every couple of years. The outage to our application is significant and in the future might be a problem.
I had intended to mention that should this message pop up for you, you want to contact DB2 Level 2 Support and open an ETR (PMR). Level 2 can walk a customer through the process that needs to be followed.
No numbers, but customers have had to perform the fix.
1. How many customers out there are actually getting close to the limit, as opposed to just worrying about it?
2. Getting a warning message from DB2 is great, but what do customers do if/when it actually appears?

What Will Not Kill You … A Memoir by Annemarie Duparc
Retired Magistrate pens memoir confronting feminist issues like sexim in the workplace, along with societal plagues like depression and divorce. This memoir is a story as well as a study of sustained resilience. You'll not find slavery, poverty or exile in the author's background. Her distress was not collective but individual, brought on by circumstances which fostered a sleep disorder and depression. Perhaps therefore harder to survive, and yet so common in our society, although hardly acknowledged.
The Curious Caves of Honey Cove by Samantha McDermott
"A city girl is challenged by a handsome beachcomer to uncover what is going on in the ominous caves and which nice townspeople are involved in it."
"If you're exhausted from mankind's blood-and-gore history that continues into the present and will continue evermore, if you're weary from the savage stories in the news, which the Hollywood entertainment industry loves to pick up and produce; if you would like a gentle, heart-warming story--without the gratuitous grisly graphics--placed in a bracing rocky-beach setting, I recommend this shining and witty book, The Curious Caves of Honey Cove, by Samantha McDermott. This is a mystery but it's not just a mystery! This wise author will renew your faith in humanity." - Bonnie Langhaar
Genre: Cosy Mystery
Aztlan by J.D. Parker
Four teenagers stumble upon a terrorist plot to spray nerve agent over Southern California from crop dusting planes, they video the planes getting ready to take off from the desert outside Los Angeles, steal the terrorist's laptop and some antidote to the nerve gas, contact Homeland Security and flee across the desert pursued by the terrorists and Special Forces sent to rescue them as Los Angeles reels from the devastating attack from the one plane that wasn't shot down before reaching the city.

Spotlight on Lighthouses in the Brunswick Islands
Along the coast of North Carolina's Brunswick Islands is a beach activity perfect for any family looking for adventure or educational experience. This year, why not add an exhilarating item to your bucket list and discover an elevated, 360-degree scenic view of the Atlantic Ocean and inland waters of the Cape Fear River? The Oak Island Lighthouse, standing just over 150 feet, offers the perfect opportunity to see some amazing coastal views. Venture up the unique 131 steps to the observation platform and capture exceptional aerial photos of Oak Island, Caswell Beach and the seemingly endless ocean. But this isn't your normal lighthouse excursion – within the Oak Island Lighthouse, the steps leading to the observation platform are ships' ladders, not the typical spiral staircase found in most lighthouses.
The Oak Island Lighthouse, located on Caswell Beach, is the newest of the North Carolina lighthouses, with construction completed in 1958. For the first five years of the lighthouse's operation, the lights projected to sailors were the brightest in the United States and the second brightest in the world. The lighthouse used carbon-arc mercury lamps that generated 70 million candle power. The lighthouse later converted to four 1,000-watt halogen bulbs that produced 2.5 million candle power that could be seen for 16 miles. In December of 2020, a new LED rotating fixture was installed - the first of its kind in the United States. The Oak Island Lighthouse light can now be seen for 25 miles out to sea.
Tours to the top of the lighthouse are available all year long by appointment for climbers nine years of age and older. Tour appointments must be made through the Oak Island Lighthouse website, at least two weeks in advance. The Oak Island Lighthouse is located at 300 Caswell Beach Rd, Caswell Beach, NC 28465.
Just across the waters of the Cape Fear River from the Oak Island Lighthouse stands the oldest lighthouse in North Carolina, Old Baldy. The lighthouse, located on Bald Head Island, was built in 1817 and has maintained its original form and location for over 200 years. This historic landmark has 108 steps, five landings and is 110 feet tall.
While no longer an active lighthouse, Old Baldy is open for visitors to enjoy and climb to the top for a breathtaking view of the area's natural beauty. Take an in-depth island tour with a knowledgeable guide or purchase a ticket to climb to the top. Ferry reservations can be made in advance by calling 910-457-5003. Old Baldy Lighthouse is located at 101 Lighthouse Wynd, just a short walk from the island's ferry landing.

You must have heard of the Docker project by now. From Wikipedia, "Docker uses the resource isolation features of the Linux kernel … to allow independent containers to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting and maintaining virtual machines." Ultimately, Docker has made OS-level virtualization practical and mainstream with their imaging system, APIs, image registries, and a thriving ecosystem. Microservices are increasingly popular and these demand different delivery tools. Docker is a response to that need and as a result more teams are able to undergo the transformation to cloud. Datadog recently published this study about Docker adoption that contains some interesting results. Even at IBM, several teams are now using Docker for their own purposes.
From one perspective, containers and microservices are much simpler than monolithic or distributed architectures. Lightweight components, dedicated to specific processes, immutable and autonomous, and all loosely coupled with each other. In reality however microservices are a complexity tradeoff. Widespread use of microservices and container platforms means more metadata to manage and variables to control such as persistent storage, port mapping, container names, networking, and more. Consider managing these items across each environment for every application. Configuration data is heavily externalized in cloud-native applications. The challenges for an organization become governance and visibility as opposed to integration and maintenance. Furthermore, most organizations do not have the luxury of going all-in on containers simply because they have so much invested elsewhere. Revisiting the drawing board is costly when you have an age-old, monolithic application on your hands, so refactoring is done gradually to enable existing applications for the cloud in the most non-intrusive way possible.
A single microservice is simple, but the architectural approach as a whole leads to complexities such as management, visibility, and coordination.
Microservices are the future and enterprise IT shops should recognize the journey ahead of them. Also, enterprise adopters of Docker should be aware that while containers are powerful, they also redirect complexity from the overall architecture of a system to the configuration and data surrounding the system. Management of all those containerized microservices is where organizations will start to feel pain, and that pain is compounded when they have to integrate with traditional architectures and delivery pipelines. One of the core principles of the Twelve-Factor App is strict separation of configuration from code. If you adhere to this principle then the need for container orchestration is that much greater.
In general, there are two schools of container orchestration tools: runtime orchestration, i.e. tools that deal with the operational aspects of container execution, and deployment orchestration of containers (typically automated in a promotion model). Runtime orchestration tools for containers include the likes of Kubernetes and Apache Mesos, which offer canary deployments, scaling in both directions, and rolling updates (no downtime). The foremost deployment orchestration tool for multi-container applications is Docker Compose. Some issues however are that it does not integrate with traditional IT architectures, nor does it aid in the management of metadata or understand promotion paths. What if any of your application components are not running in a container? What about organizations looking to evolve over time? This is the majority of enterprise development organizations today and surely they need container orchestration tools too. In fact, they need tools that not only support microservices AND legacy architectures, but also a strategy for transitioning at an appropriate pace.
UrbanCode Deploy is the ultimate DevOps framework. The tool has potential to consolidate disparate automation from across the enterprise and centrally govern all of it. UrbanCode Deploy complements the value of Docker Datacenter with centralized deployments, separation of duties, visibility into environment inventory, and rapid rollback. UrbanCode Deploy also manages properties and environment variables across target runtimes, which alleviates the headache of governing varied configurations for each microservice in a promotion model. In March 2015, the first set of Docker plugins for UrbanCode Deploy were released. With the Docker automation plugin for Deploy, a Docker container is just like any other application component. This is the simplest and most natural way to model containers in UrbanCode Deploy. The Docker automation plugin is also the approach for systems that are a mix of containers and traditional IT. Recently, our team of geniuses at IBM also released a Docker Compose plugin. With the Docker Compose plugin, a component in UrbanCode Deploy maps singularly to a Docker Compose file which represents your application. This means better support for applications which are solely comprised of microservices, and less repetitive work. Lest we forget, there is a myriad of other plugins for UrbanCode Deploy that basically allow organizations to build automation in the same way for every platform. If any components of your application are Docker containers, it is transparent to Deploy inside of an application process. As I said, UrbanCode Deploy is the ultimate DevOps framework.
My plan is to write a series of blog posts about "microservices management" which articulate the value of using Docker Datacenter with IBM UrbanCode Deploy. IBM itself is doing a lot with Docker now so I am likely to have plenty of interesting things to write about. In this initial commentary, I will focus on the basics. Specifically, the Docker source and Docker automation plugins for IBM UrbanCode Deploy. Install these now.
We start by modeling our application in UrbanCode Deploy. There is an official Docker image for WordPress on Docker Hub. We will use that as well as MySQL which is also running in a container (there is an official image for that too).
The docker.opts property is referenced by the component template processes. Since I am using Docker Machine with the boot2docker VM on my Mac, I have to send several options to the Docker client in order to reach the daemon properly (docker-machine config <machine-name> will output these). The other properties are referenced in the component configuration as you may recall. Note that deployment processes may fail if these properties are not defined.
Please leave comments and questions if you have any.
Robbie Minshall's Blog – Be sure to check out Part 2 as well!
I am very interested in seeing how you use the "imported" Docker images in conjunction with the Docker Compose plugin.
The screenshot with Run Options field for the Run Docker Container step in the library/mysql component process has a typo.

Spy shots: Volkswagen Scirocco R20
Jeremy Weber May 12, 2009 Comment Now!
Volkswagen has unveiled its new Scirocco R, which you can read all about by clicking here.
All our American readers look away because pictured here is a new high-performance variant of the Volkswagen Scirocco coupe, a car that has officially been ruled out for U.S. sale. VW first hinted at a new high-performance version of the Scirocco coupe when it revealed the GT24 race concept back at the Austrian Wörthersee Tour tuning show last May, and then the carmaker followed it up with the Scirocco Study R concept at last year's Bologna Motor Show.
The new model will be called the Scirocco R20 and it's expected to make its debut alongside a Golf-based variant at this month's Nurburgring 24 hour endurance race. Key features lifted from the concept include the aggressively styled bumper with larger intakes and unique fog lights, as well as the slightly wider fenders and lower ride height.
Don't be fooled by the sponsor logos plastered over the car's body. The prototype has been disguised as a race car but a peek inside reveals the car has its rear seats fully intact and there's no roll cage, which means this is a production model.
Both the Scirocco and Golf R20 models are expected to deliver 270hp (201kW) and be fitted with a six-speed manual and AWD. A dual-clutch DSG is also expected to be featured as an option, allowing for 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint times in the five second bracket. Unlike its fellow Euro-competition - the Renault Megane RS and Ford Focus RS - the R20 will capitalize on AWD for superior performance and handling.
First sales should start in Europe by the end of the year, while American fans can still look forward to the Golf R20 as this car will be replacing the MkV R32 model and should be on sale in local showrooms also by the end of the year.

Q: Keep running program requiring X server after logging off of ssh session I have a python script that periodically generates a png image, and puts it on a server that I can access through a browser. The image displays the progress of a job I am running on the server. I'm using matplotlib to generate the images.
The python script goes to sleep after generating each image. After an hour, it wakes up, generates a new image, and then goes back to sleep.
I start the script over an ssh session. When I log off, the script gets killed. I've read the other threads covering this problem, but the proposed solutions do not work. The script is killed after I log off, even if I run it with
nohup script.py &> job-monitor.log &

or if I run it like this
script.py
[Ctrl-Z]
disown -h %1
bg 1

The strange thing is, when I log off and log back in, the script is no longer running, and job-monitor.log is empty.
What could be happening, and how do I get the script to continue running after I log off?
Additional information: I think the problem has to do with the plotting library I'm using, matplotlib. I think it may require an X session to produce a png, even though the graphic is just being saved to disk.

A: If the problem is with matplotlib (that is, your script never provides an answer if you stay connected, or it works because ssh forwards your Xwindow connection), you have to put in your matplotlibrc file:
backend : AGG

This way, the script doesn't need Xwindow to work.

A: Instead of IO/redirecting use tmux or screen command for session monitoring.

A: May I humbly suggest that you throw away the time.sleep() part from your script and use either cron or at for periodic and/or delayed invocations?
This simplifies your code, safely removes dependencies on ssh session detachment, and separates the concerns of image generation and scheduling.
Regarding the script dying: I suspect that the script after nohup might not have write access to the log file, either because it lacks write access to the directory where you start it, or because an existing log file is owned by e.g. root and thus inaccessible.
I don't know if disowning a job and then trying to call bg against it should work. I always do the opposite: foo & disown %1; it works exactly in circumstances like yours.

A: Try redirecting STDIN as well. It's possible the script is reading from stdin, so when you close the shell, stdin goes away, and it dies.
script.py </dev/null &>/dev/null &
disown

However, each and every member is to attend a meeting at the end of the year with their Bishop known as a Tithing Settlement. During this meeting, the Bishop will present you with a receipt of all the money you've given the church that year (for your taxes) and ask you whether or not you are a full tithe payer. Those who respond that they are not are strongly encouraged to get caught up with their payments (aka the "settlement") at that time. Any "excuses" such as not being able to afford it are met with stern objections about how that is not an excuse, you are cheating the Lord, you'll receive blessings from paying your tithing, etc. etc. Of course, you can still walk out of that meeting having not paid all or even any of your tithing, but you'll be chastised for doing so.
2. Do not question Mormon authority.
There are more examples than I can count of those who have questioned the leaders and been disciplined for it, including those who have been excommunicated.
3. Fully believe in and frequently reiterate that you know the Mormon church is true.
4. Pass a worthiness interview yearly so you can attend the temple.
Here's where it gets interesting. There are Mormons who have never been to the temple and never will go to the temple. But these are the "less worthy" members. They are thought of less than an "active" member of the church. It is significantly frowned upon to not be a temple Mormon, as that is the ultimate goal of Mormons since they believe the only way you will receive the "highest degree of glory" (their version of heaven) is by attending the temple along with marrying, having children and living all the rules of Mormonism.
5. Once you attend the temple for the first time you will begin wearing the special underwear (called garments).
You will be asked in your Temple Recommend interview renewal each year if you are wearing the "authorized garments" day and night. In addition, it is a cultural thing within the Mormon church to check for the tell-tale lines made by garments to see whether or not someone is a worthy, temple going Mormon. Again, those who are not are looked down on.
6. No smoking, alcohol, coffee, or tea.
This is expected of every member. Those who break this rule are expected to confess to the Bishop, repent, and not continue.
Naturally, no one is forcing anyone to marry. But the church does all it can to facilitate early marriage through various singles events and numerous talks on the importance of marrying young.
8. Have children early and have many.
Like getting married, no one is forcing anyone, but they are certainly strongly encouraged (again, through various talks from the Mormon authorities) to begin their families early.
11. Young Men (age 19) are to serve a two year mission.
This may be "voluntary" but just try to explain to anyone at church that you've chosen not to serve a mission but to go to college instead (or whatever your choice may be). You'll be given such a hard time about how important it is to serve a mission and be thought of and treated as less valiant than those who have served a mission.
13. Attend all church meetings. 3 hours on Sunday, plus additional meetings for many other things.
Not showing up at church on Sunday is like being a kid in elementary school when the Principal's office calls your home to see why you were absent. You will get a call from someone at church asking why you weren't there. In fact, I was once told that the budget was determined by attendance and that when I didn't show up they lost money.
The least that will occur are very stern looks from the members and at worst you could be told you are dressed inappropriately and must go home to change.
Turning down a calling is almost unheard of. Of course this is not to say that it has not been done; my wife and I both have turned down callings. We were met with very shocked expressions as to how we could do such a thing. A Mormon member is definitely looked down upon for declining any calling offered to them.
So, forget Mother's Day Brunch, dinner out with the family, or even attending a sporting event (including one your child is supposed to be playing in!) these are all unapproved activities for Sunday. Not that you'd have time anyway with a 3+ hour meeting schedule. Again, you can sneak out and do these things if you choose, no one is going to stop you, however, if you're caught or you feel guilty and confess, you are definitely looked down upon as a "less active" member who is not following the rules.
For the worthy member, wearing the special underwear (#5 above) will take care of this automatically. However, it's not uncommon for a "rebellious" Mormon, fed up with the rules, to either remove their garments altogether or do what's known as the old "tuck and pin" trick to allow more modern fashions to be worn without one's underclothes hanging out. Doing either of these things is also looked down upon and something that would get you considered unworthy in terms of being a Mormon in good standing as well as end up in denial of admittance to the temple.
What I wonder is can you still remain a mormon, be active in the church and agree and follow only half of those rules? I believe the mormon church to be a great place to raise a family and enjoy the gospel of christ and life, but I honestly dont believe it all word for word. And I may be frowned upon, but I just dont believe it all! Is that a sin not to believe? I cant change my beliefs and still be honest with myself! ... a popular question, are you honest in your dealings with your fellow man? Am I? Can I?
It could be a great place to raise a family if you don't think about all the thoughts you will be putting into your children's minds each time they attend an activity! Yes, I understand thier friends are there and they are having fun but also eventually they are going to have to deal with the guilt of not fitting into that "mormon box".
I used to think that the church would be a great place to raise my family, until I realized that it isn't fair to teach my children one thing and honestly believe another. Just because their friends are members doesn't mean it is true. I used to feel guilty about leaving the church because of my kids, now I kinda feel guilty if I stay. Our children trust us completely in our decisions, WE NEED TO BE HONEST WITH THEM.
did you honestly get phonecalls when you weren't at church? was a zealous leader you must have had.
My 5-year-old said, "Mom, I feel yucky around people who drink coffee. Do those people make you feel yucky too." What a great thing to teach people!! I would recommend another religion. Anyone can make the LDS church sound appealing, especially when you can follow a couple easy steps to ensure your and your families salvation, but there's too much intolerance (which is taught, unspoken).
Wow, reading through all these things even though I kinda knew about most of them is still very shocking when you see it written out. I have been going to the Mormon church for a while now by choice (I'm 17 and recently graduated and moved out of my parents who are not Mormons house) but have not converted- although its a wonder when I have missionarys at my door twice a day. I think this sunday I might have a few questions for the bishop, who I really look up to, and see how he sugar coats the answers. I appreciate this sight being up. It will definitly give me another way to look at the lds religion.
As a former 25-year member of the church, I can "testify" that all of the above rules, or guidelines as the church likes to call them, are true. I had served in just about every leadership calling a woman in the lds church is able to serve in, including Primary President, RS counselor, Young Women President, Stake Young Women Counselor, etc. When in a leadership position, you attend a special meeting on Sundays, called correlation meeting, where one of the main topics is the people in your congregation (known as your Ward in the lds church) who are not following "the rules" and what is to be done about it. Usually it involves trying to encourage them to follow the rules by visiting them or inviting them to attend events held by the various church organizations (primary, relief society, young women, etc.). These folks were definitely considered "less of a mormon" than those who were stalwart in keeping the rules. There was also a wierd hierarchy of families in the Ward where the ones where everyone in the family followed the rules were placed on a pedestal and others looked up to them and tried to emulate them. We were actually one of those families until one of our children decided they didn't want to be involved in the church any longer. It wasn't that people were unkind to us, but they definitely felt differently toward us. We were also called into the Bishop's office for an extremely humiliating conference on how we could fix our child. After several years of feeling terribly depressed every Sunday for being a failure as a parent and church member because of our child's decision, I mistakenly found some very disturbing information on the internet about the lds church's history and Joseph Smith's conduct with women. After much study, our family determined that the church was not true no matter how you tried to make it true. It was sad to think that I had dedicated my whole heart and countless hours of my time to something that was a complete fake. By the way, when we stopped going to church, we had the Bishop at our door in 2 weeks wanting to know why we had stopped attending!
Somebody obviously misinformed you about the commandments given to the members of the church. The most disturbing thing I found about what you blogged about, was #10. I don't know who taught you that, but it is completely false. You can always interact with non members. My best friends are non members. Mormons can even marry non members, and I've never seen it as to where they were looked down upon for it. another is your description of #6. As if drinking and smoking are not horrible things for your body. If everyone abided by this, there would be alot more happiness in the world. These rules(more like recommendations) are to make you happier. I cannot wait to read your next blog about the misleading teachings of other churches. I mean really, why did you choose this one? Did it just not suit your way of life, so you make a blog to mislead other people? I'm appalled.
To all of the above posts, what a bunch of misinformation.You will all be amazed on judgment day when you find you had the truth and gave it away.
Judgement day? Think you people have all lost the plot, what sane person lives their life believing in in this nonsense? As for Joseph smith and his ilk....liked the ladies methinks! Crazy! If the early so called leaders weren't fornicating or murdering they were collecting 10%of everyone's cash .wouldn't worry bout judgement day,get yourself checked into nearest mental health clinic.
I was almost a new mormon. I have done a lot of bible searching lately and reading about the mormon faith. The bishops make it sound too good to be true. When they chastised me for reading my bible too much and not reading the LDS bible, I knew I was not going for this. Not only that, I've been very ill with pneumonia and they didn't understand why I wasn't going to church?!
My 17 year old son is wanting us to give permission to be baptized. There are several main principles that we do not agree with, nor do we think he truly understands what he is getting into. It is causing a huge rift in our relationship. Can anyone give me advise? I would like him to speak with someone outside the church with more understanding about the Mormon Religion. Right now they have "sold" him. Does anyone have any ideas how I might find someone he could speak with? I live in Oregon. thanks!
Nice blog. I am a fellow ex-Mormon blogger and I often sarcastically state that Mormonism has 101 rules, commandments, demands, and expectations that must all be obeyed to get to heaven. Then one day I sat down to see if I couldn't actually come up with these 101 Mormon Commandments.
Where do you live?! Because I have to tell ya, I have am a 3rd generation Mormon in Australia, and we don't have those rules. Where have they been written in doctrine? I am 100% certain that most of these rules are more culture based than actual doctrine. You need to travel around some more, go to a Mormon church in other countries and you will see what Mormons are really like. I am so sick of hearing about all this crap that goes on in churches in America, giving us normal Mormons a bad name.
I have had friends (Mormon friends) who have been to Utah, and are never going back. Honestly, It does seem like a cult. I am not surprised to hear people say that about my religion when I read posts such as this.
The few American Mormons I have met have just seemed like brainwashed idiots. Can't think for themselves or have their own opinions.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is, I'm really pissed off when I see posts like this with someone claiming that this how all Mormons are. I don't doubt that there are a lot of places that have these rules, but please remember that there are just as many Mormons who can think for themselves and know that these rules are pointless and a bunch of crap.
My ward/Stake may not be anywhere near as strict as what they seem to be like in America, but we are happy, kind, considerate, spiritual people, and isn't that what a religion should be about? We are normal people, this belief system is just one aspect of our lives, it does not define us. We can function as normal human beings in the real world, so please don't judge a whole religion on one group of people. Keep in mind that they are individuals who have interpreted the gospel how they want to see it, not necessarily how it was intended to be. (Does that make sense?) Anyway, I will shut up now. I might go and read some of your other posts.
Would like to know what questions any Mormons or ex-Mormons ask about Mormonism that would be considered inappropriate, result in ridicule, threats, anger, punishment etc? Curious because I went through quite a long period of investigation into my own faith that began when I was in my early teens and the first question that got me into some trouble was 'how did people end up speaking so many different languages' and my answer 'people started making up different names for different things' drew a rebuke from a Catholic nun who sternly corrected me with the response that God confused people's languages when they were building the tower of Babel. So you start asking questions about your faith tradition and there is hot water waiting for you if you dare begin investigating on your own. So any Mormons or ex-Mormons care to jump in?


A song about a Cleansing Depot worker who dreams of buying a wee boat, and heading into the Atlantic, Deacon Blue's Dignity was the first single release from the band's debut 1987 album Raintown. In its initial outing the song failed to reach the Top 40. But a re-record and re-release the following year saw it rise to no.31 on the UK Chart. Its highest ever chart position was in 1994 at no.20.
In my head, it was a chart topper, for the bald stats tell you nothing at all about the number of weddings and funerals Dignity is played at, even still. They say nothing either about the conviction and love with which a Scottish audience, in particular, hollers "I saved my money". And nothing about how the song makes certain older men cry, or about how it rankles still others. One person's dewy-eyed, middle-class sentimentality is another's beacon of hope.
Songs are like that. They mean what they mean, to me, to you. They land in our lives however they land. And those meanings and resonances are impervious to argument.
Dignity isn't just a song in individual lives. It's found civic roles too. It was played at the closing ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. And it was sung a capella by a massed choir of women at the 2017 opening of the V&A in Dundee (Deacon Blue lead singer and writer, Ricky Ross, is a Dundee man).
Whether you like it or not, only a song of a very particular reach and symbolic power can get into as many emotional crannies as Dignity.
I have a huge soft spot for it. And I'm endlessly curious as to why some songs matter more here than there, more to you than to me. I'm fascinated too about by the sheer heartfelt meaning so many of us find in, or attach to, pop songs, and especially, here in Scotland, to Scottish-made ones.
So, for the remainder of this month, I'd like to share some of my thoughts, about just this one song, about where it takes me.

Future Trends For Integrating Tools Into Your Business
by Jason Kay, Call Tracking Expert
Integration Trends for Marketers
If MarTech's conference in San Jose proved anything, it's that the marketing software industry has grown into a tech powerhouse—and has yet to grow even further. The industry has grown from a mere 150 brands in 2011 to nearly 7,000 martech solutions in 2018. Marketing technology shows no sign of slowing down.
The MarTech conference was chock-full of brilliant presentations and innovative insights, and it would be impossible to cover all of them with the depth they deserve but there were definitely key threads that run through the entire program:
People-focused technology stacks
Over two days companies like LogMeIn, Meyer, and VMWare shared how they built their marketing tech stacks and the thought process behind their creation and refinement. The individual tools all differed based on need: LogMeIn for example, relied heavily on content creation and team collaboration tools while Bedrock Data focused on a single content-focused tool and focused its effort on data collection, management, and reporting solutions.
But the key unifying theme of these martech stacks was an emphasis on people. What would make life easier for an employee to do their job? What would make it easier for the customer to connect with the brand? Nearly all the martech stacks presented went out of their way to ensure employees could rely on the tools to help them do their jobs effectively and efficiently, no matter what the back-end looked like.
And that leads me to the next point:
The average tech stack at MarTech ran from 10 to 20 software solutions, each specializing in their own niche function. That's a dizzying amount of data, interfaces, and features to keep track of. How can an understaffed marketing team be expected to keep track of it all?
The answer lies in integration. Most modern martech solutions use an open API to connect with other tools and expand their functionality. There are also solutions like IFTTT and Zapier that help simplify the process of integrating with other tools.
In one presentation, Tony Ralph, VP Marketing Product for Walmart eCommerce, shared that the ideal way to build a consolidated marketing tech stack isn't to buy an all-in-one solution, but to assemble a diverse collection of tools that are each the best at what they do, connected via API or other integration methods. This allows you to swap out or upgrade individual technologies without you having to replace the rest of the set.
Artificial Intelligence can be a hard sell to jaded marketers just because it's so much of a buzzword. But Adelyn Zhou, CMO of TopBots, and Dejan Duzevik from Concentric were on-hand to show MarTech attendees just what the future held.
The most visible sign of AI's progress in martech is the emergence of chatbots—those automated response boxes where customers type in questions and get useful responses. We are seeing a sharp rise in companies that offer these solutions, and machine learning is getting very good at picking up natural language, to the point that it can be hard to tell who's a real agent and who's not. AI will help lighten the workload of very busy platforms by automating simple reoccurring tasks, suggesting products or handling basic support issues.
Retreaver is already utilizing machine learning for its voice transcriptions and keyword flagging support using VoiceBase.
Machine learning also makes a significant contribution towards predictive analytics, customer sentiment analysis, and data management. It can tackle higher levels of complexity than a human administrator can.
Over time, more martech solutions will appear, grow, and evolve. With all the recent technological breakthroughs set to become mainstream this year - It will be an exciting time for developers and business owners looking to leverage new powerful tech solutions.

The royal family is "happy to lie" for Prince William, claims Prince Harry
There is already a deep divide between Prince Harry and his older brother, Prince William, and it seems like it is about to get even more profound. In the new Volume II trailer of the Netflix docuseries Harry & Meghan, we finally get some answers from the Duke of Sussex himself.
Prince William is first in line to succeed King Charles III. Harry revealed a significant part of the royal rift in the latest trailer of the docuseries. "To see this institutional gaslighting…They're happy to lie to protect my brother, but they were never willing to tell the truth, to protect us," Harry announces in the trailer. Meghan offers a more emotional take on events as she says, "I wasn't being thrown to the wolves. I was being fed to the wolves."
The trailer also mentions the royal family "practically recruiting people" to generate untrue stories about the Duke and Duchess. Harry tells viewers that the same family gladly protects William but never offers him this security.
This gives audiences a hint of things to come in the series' second volume, which premieres on Thursday, December 15. While the first episodes focused on the early part of Harry and Meghan's relationship, the next ones will highlight the couple's 2020 decision to step down from their royal responsibilities and move to the United States.
Harry's relief in relocating to Montecito, California, is palpable in a self-recorded clip as he states, "We are on the freedom flight!" The Sussexes have established a (seemingly) happy life in America. In the trailer, Meghan says, "It gave us a chance to create that home that we have always wanted." Her husband's take on the move to the United States with his family: "I've always felt as though this was a fight worth fighting for."
Harry and Meghan have called the Netflix series a chance to tell their story and correct the false narratives woven against them. If the royal family is indeed responsible for any such activity, that story will take on new depth.

Blog: It's Just a Fashion Review. Keep Calm and Carry On
Written by: Aneesha Baig | May 22, 2015 17:54 IST
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the Cannes Film Festival. (Image courtesy: AFP)
"I was simply accused of being paid media, called a half-wit, a two-bit journalist with an agenda"
The thing about me is I am always late to the party. I was the last of my friends to get a cellphone (five years after they did). It took me an alarming amount of time to set myself up with laptop and wifi. I still don't own a tablet of any kind. And it took years for me to sign up to social media. Where, I have remained that lowest form (after trolls) of social networker: the lurker. Yes, that's me. Sitting quiet, observing and only occasionally responding. On Facebook I inbox and on Twitter only occasionally respond to a direct query or comment. I don't even have an Instagram account. My notifications are so few that it can be weeks before I get a new one.
So, imagine my horror when I suddenly found myself hauled out of the shadows with a notification icon that had never seen that much action. I was being trolled. Yes! It's taken me that long. That's the good news. The bad news is for all the platitudes I've passed on to other recipients, I couldn't have known how horrid it actually is. And mine was for a fashion review. A. Fashion. Review. (Also Read: Blog: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Loses Her Fashion Mojo Just After She Found it)
The mind boggles when I think of what it's like for others who bother to write about things that actually matter and take vital, important stands. We've heard about the venom and threats and the general vileness - and dismissed them, usually with Taylor Swiftisms. Haters gonna hate. And they are, but what I didn't know is how alarming it can get.
To be fair, the diatribes to me weren't threats at all. I was simply accused of being paid media, called a half-wit, a two-bit journalist with an agenda. Of hating Ash and loving, in their words, "So-dumb" Kapoor. That's fine (though irony is holding its wake as we speak), it's an opinion too.
So was mine, when I said simply (or let's be honest, not so simply) that I did not like what Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore to Cannes this year. THIS year. I did say that she had had magnificent years at the Cannes. She really has - but this was not that year. I actually like Ash. I admire what she's done with her life and career, mostly. God knows, like everyone else, I think she's beautiful and that that face deserves a better showcase. But red carpets are fair game. And the Cannes red carpet, their Superbowl. You dress up, you head out and you take it. Now, you could also say I was bitchy, that I tapped my inner Joan Rivers too freely, that I got carried away with my own rhetoric - that would be true too. But here's the thing: its a fashion review. A silly, hopefully slightly funny fashion review. And yes, since I dished it out, I should damn well be prepared to take it.
So what then is my point in all of this: it's not poor me, I got trolled. It's the epiphany I had, where I realized it's not what they say, or not just - it's how much. I never really understood exactly how strange it feels to see tweet after tweet full of dislike directed at you. (I haven't reached the hate stakes yet, but no doubt give it time). And even though I know better I found myself reading with a pit in my stomach. It's surprisingly effective, the onslaught - I thought Joss Whedon (a favourite of mine) should have understood that trolls be trolls when he had reams of hate speech sent his way and shouldn't have shut his account. I couldn't comprehend why Rishi Kapoor (another favourite) would consider signing off, even briefly. I haven't seen even the half of it, but now I've got a glimmer of understanding of how disorienting it can be.
So my heart goes out those on the receiving end of it, and on the receiving end for all the right reasons. But since they handle it so well, I guess I'll take a cue too. And more, since I'll be in such excellent company, I may as well sign on full time. Now to figure out who else's style to take on. Perhaps our jetsetting Prime Minister on his latest overseas jaunt?
And cue......
