November 3, 2020 BETHELADVOCATE Around Town, Events, Government, National, News, State 0
Report by Paula Antolini, November 3, 2020, 1:44PM EDT
Voters said lines were longer in the early morning hours, but at midday on Election Day, November 3, 2020, The BETHEL ADVOCATE found that lines at all three polling locations in Bethel had a wait of only 15 minutes, 20 at most, and no lines at Stony Hill Fire Station polling location at all.
The longest line was at the CJH Municipal Center at approximately noon, which stretched across the front of the building, but the wait was not long, voters said. There was a similar situation for the line that was into the parking lot at the Berry School polling location, but we were in and out for voting in 17 minutes.
We spotted some candidates campaigning outside the polling locations, keeping outside the 75 foot distance.
Stephen Harding (R) was at the Stony Hill Fire Station polling location, campaigning for reelection for CT State Representative, District 107, which includes Brookfield, Bethel and Danbury. At the same time, Harding's opponent Kerri Columbo (R) was also there campaigning.

The Stars, The Oceans, & The Moon
The Stars, the Oceans and the Moon finds Echo and the Bunnymen – still lead by the indominable Ian McCulloch and Will Sergeant – reinterpreting 13 of their most beloved songs with strings and things. A pair of brand new tracks – "The Somnambulist" and "How Far?" – accompany the rearranged classics.
Charlotte Day Wilson
Stone Woman
CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON/eOne
Charlotte Day Wilson is a 25-year-old vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto. With roots ranging from R&B to folk, Wilson's soulful, singular voice garnered global attention with the 2016 release of her debut EP, CDW, and her work with BADBADNOTGOOD. Stone Woman marks a new chapter for Charlotte – a stirring demonstration of Charlotte's power and poise. An essential voice of 2018 (and beyond).
"I always planned on getting back together with the [Myles Kennedy &] The Conspirators as soon as possible, and continuing on with what we started," says Slash. Living The Dream is the band's strongest album yet – packing a wide variety of sounds and styles into 12 sharply executed tracks, all of it shot through with Slash's dynamic riffing and high-wire solos.
Magic Ship
Mountain Man's first album in eight years, Magic Ship features eleven original songs, plus interpretations of Ted Lucas' "Baby Where You Are," Michael Hurley's "Blue Mountain," and the traditional hymn "Bright Morning Stars." A reflection on the joys, follies, and oddities of existence, Magic Ship distills eight years of sights seen, pleasures had, feelings hurt, forgiveness extended. Fans of The Roches will find much here to love.
Tall Heights
Pretty Colors For Your Actions
Pretty Colors For Your Actions finds Tall Heights exploring a new range of influences and emotions. The album is anchored by the duo's signature melodies, layered and shaped with clever, contemporary production. The songs range from hard-hitting ballads ("House on Fire" and "Not Like It Was"), hook-heavy synthpop ("Oslo" and "White Frost"), to sprawling jams ("Over Now"), philosophical trips ("Roanoke"), and a dash of disco throughout.
Stony Plain Records
With his new album, Miles to Go, acclaimed guitarist Colin James is getting back to the blues. Miles to Go is a sequel to James' critically-acclaimed 2016 LP, Blue Highways, featuring nine covers of his favorite artists (Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Little Willie John, Robert Johnson) and two originals, "I Will Remain" and "40 Light Years."
After his celebrated self-titled 2016 debut, Roosevelt – aka Marius Lauber – steps outside. While his debut, Nightmoves, was deeply rooted in club culture, Young Romance sees the 27 year-old producer embracing a new found love for bigger, bolder, and sunnier pop songs. A fearless leap towards the light with songs that will further establish him as one of today's most talented young artists.
Estelle Lovers
Born in West London to a Senegalese / Grenadian family, as a child, Grammy Award winning singer, Estelle, was exposed to African music, Gospel, reggae and dub. Lovers Rock is a tribute to some of her earliest musical influences. The album features new productions from Supa Dups ("Come Over") and guest vocals from stars in reggae, African and R&B, including Maleek Berry, Kranium, Konshens and Chronixx.
Colin Devlin
Blue Elan
The world has changed since Colin Devlin (One half of eponymous rockers, The Devlins) released his acclaimed 2010 solo debut, Democracy of One, but this Irish songwriter's approach to finely crafted music remains steadfast. Now, Devlin returns with his second outing, High Point, which explores the darkness and light of human relationships set to moody soundscapes ala Bowie, Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, and David Sylvian.
Art of Doubt
Produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Beck, Nine Inch Nails), Metric's seventh LP, Art Of Doubt, addresses a climate of cultural and political anxiety without giving into despair. This is sound of Metric rediscovering its love of making music together. "This felt like the culmination of a lifetime spent playing together and trusting each other and going for it," says guitarist James Shaw. Their best since Synthetica.
Provogue
Singer-songwriter, guitarist, and sought-after sideman (just ask Roger Waters, Elton John, Gregg Allman, Allen Toussaint, T-Bone Burnett, and Eric Clapton), Doyle Bramhall II's new album, Shades, is a spellbinding blend of grungy blues, raucous garage rock, transcendent psychedelia, and soothing, soul-stirring ballads that sees Bramhall reaching new heights as a multi-instrumentalist, producer and vocalist while responding to his heart's most urgent commands as a lyricist and arranger.
The Goon Sax
We're Not Talkin
Lush orchestration adorns The Goon Sax's, new album, We're Not Talking – but this isn't glossy throwaway pop. Rather, We're Not Talking is a collection of vignettes that tackle adolescent angst with charm and heart-wrenching honesty. Sounds stick out at surprising angles, cowbells become lead instruments, brief home-recorded fragments appear unexpectedly, and "Losing Myself" is like the Young Marble Giants go hip hop. For fans of Courtney Barnett and The Go-Betweens.
Hollywood Africans
With Hollywood Africans, Jon Batiste dives deep into his own personal and cultural heritage, weaving an emotional tapestry out of original material and American standards that carries the listener from the early jazz of New Orleans to the present. It's a tribute to his heroes: "Because of them, I don't have to wear a mask," says Batiste. "I get to be who I am." Produced by T-Bone Burnett.
Billy F. Gibbons
The Big Bad Blues
Concord Music
ZZ Top guitar giant Billy Gibbons follows-up his much-admired Afro-Cuban inspired 2015 solo debut, Perfectamundo with second album, The Big Bad Blues. The focus of the new set is the lifetime love of blues and rock 'n' roll that has fueled Gibbons' entire career. Its 11 tracks showcase a combination of his new blues originals and interpretations of such numbers as "Rollin' and Tumblin'," "Standing Around Crying," a Muddy Waters classic, and a pair of killers from Bo Diddly. Says Gibbons: "The shift back to the blues is a natural. It's something which our followers can enjoy with the satisfaction of experiencing the roots tradition and, at the same time, feeling the richness of stretching the art form."
Legendary singer-songwriter (and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee) Steve Perry makes his long-awaited return with Traces, his first new album in nearly a quarter century. The famed singer introduces Traces with lead track "No Erasin'" and reassuringly greets fans with the opening line "I know it's been a long time comin'." The track is an emotional homecoming, a familiar welcome from the iconic voice and writer of Journey's timeless, global hits. "Putting 30 years into 10 songs has certainly been an emotional experience for me," says Perry. "Along the way, I rediscovered my love for music." In addition to his new material, Traces also features a beautifully re-imagined cover of The Beatles' "I Need You."
Look Now
Look Now is beautiful in its simplicity, reflective in its lyrical vision, and surrounded by melodies and orchestrations that are nothing short of heavenly. It's the first album Elvis Costello has made with The Imposters - Steve Nieve (keyboards), Davey Faragher (bass), and Pete Thomas (drums) - since the 2008 release of Momofuku. The Imposters don't represent Look Now's only reunion. "Don't Look Now," "He's Given Me Things," and "Photographs Can Lie" were co-written with Burt Bacharach (who also plays piano) while "Burnt Sugar Is So Bitter" was written with Carole King. Other highlights include the jubilant "Under Lime" and the low-key, soul-inflected "Unwanted Number," which Costello initially wrote for the 1996 Allison Anders movie Grace of My Heart. A warm and welcome return.
Desperate Man
EMI Nashville
Eric Church is considered something of an outlaw in Country Music for a simple reason: He keeps things, well, simple – but without dumbing it down. His intimate songs are written for humans rather than demographics. The rockers soar like Seger and Springsteen. He's a superstar still that thinks like an artist rather than a caricature. Most of all, People love Eric Church because he writes great songs – and Desperate Man is another collection of winners. "Heart Like a Wheel" is a slow-burner with hints of Radiohead. "Monsters" is a perfect showcase of his lyrical gifts, and the title cut is his "Sympathy for the Devil" – a conga-driven rocker that serves as a statement-of-purpose: Feet on the ground, but staring at the stars.
Music Volume 3: Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass
HERB ALPERT PRESENTS
The reason why you see Herb Alpert's records in used record bins so often is because he sold a metric shit-ton of them! Factor in his time as a label honcho, a visual artist, and a philanthropist, and you have one of the most fascinating careers in modern music. But it all comes back to the music on which he made his name (Miles Davis loved him, btw). Music Volume 3 - Herb Alpert Reimagines The Tijuana Brass, Alpert returns to some of his most iconic songs and transforms them with brand new arrangements, recordings, and modern production. Get ready to hear "A Taste Of Honey," "Whipped Cream," "The Lonely Bull," and many more as you've never heard them before!
Bottle It In
Travel can inspire in surprising ways: Kurt Vile discovered as much making his first record in three years, the eclectic and electrifying Bottle It In, which he recorded at various studios around the country over two very busy years, during sessions that usually punctuated the ends of long tours or family road trips. Bottle It In heads off in new directions, pushing at the edges of the map into unexplored territory. Of course, there are monster jams here, but Bottle It In showcases an artist who is still evolving and growing: A songwriter who, like his hero John Prine, can make you laugh and break your heart, often in the same line – all delivered in his wise, laconic jive-talkin' drawl. Kim Gordon and Lucius guest.

If you work in product development you know: Several months or even years could pass before a new product or device is finally put on the market. Saving a few months in developing time can mean great savings in cost and a vital competitive advantage.
The Austrian company starlim//sterner is also working on producing silicone parts fast. It produces technical moldings from silicone and multi-component parts using injection molding. The company joins mold making and manufacturing under one roof. "From order to delivery of our series products, we usually require approximately four to six months. For a faster procedure, we have developed two processes: rapid prototyping and rapid tooling," affirms Karl Großalber, sales and marketing head of the starlim//sterner group in the Upper Austrian Marchtrenk.
Before a product can be manufactured in series, it must pass various tests and the prototype must be fully functional and defect-free during application. Then the product can be approved for mass production. This is why, for very complex developments, starlim//sterner product developers also produce "dummies" for development tests in addition to simulations. "Dummies" or "laboratory prototypes" are prototypes made 100% by hand in the laboratory. It means that the developed design can be checked very quickly in parts and the first pre-tests can be carried out in development – for very complex parts, rapid prototyping in particular is extremely helpful. The prototypes can be made within 4-5 working days. They are hand-made and therefore limited to a maximum of 20 pieces. The advantage against other parts made by rapid prototyping is that these dummies are made from the material used for the series.
The first series-like LSR parts can be made with the starlim//sterner rapid tooling procedure after only 10 working days. Rapid tooling was developed to be able to provide customers with the first LSR injection molding parts produced under series-like conditions in the quickest time possible. After only 10-20 working days after accepting the order, the customer will receive the first prototype parts.
The difference between prototype samples and rapid tooling parts is that prototype samples are made in the laboratory and rapid tooling parts are produced in a series-like process. The advantage of prototype samples is that they are flexible and cost efficient should the shape of the parts need altering.

A: You cannot simply depend on the layout. Modify your code and look at setVisibility method @ setVisibility of View.
For example, if that method is set to GONE to EditText UI, then that UI is completely hidden as if it was never shown. And then of course, you should set it to VISIBLE when appropriate.

Did you make a survey just so you could make a thread about it?
Cool. Well, feel free to prove me wrong then. There appears to be no other mention of this link or any current active backlinks. Generally that means the page has only been created within the last hours/days.
So what site did you "stumble across" this on?
umm I just saw an advertisement for a very similar survey on facebook. The questions were slightly different but most of them were the exact same.
Yeah, and we don't take those sites seriously either.
It's still just survey monkey. it's not Orima or Roy Morgan.

Building at the Speed of Light in Pharr, Texas - Episode 518 of the Community Broadband Bits Podcast
Posted September 6, 2022 by Ry Marcattilio
This week on the podcast, Christopher is joined by two representatives from Pharr, Texas (pop. 79,000), which has embarked on a citywide fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network build that is seeing strong local support and fast progress in recent months. Jose Pena is the IT Director for the city, and Guillermo Aguilar works as a Partner at Brownstone Consultants, which is serving as a project manager for the network build. Jose and Guillerma talk with Christopher about the impetus for TeamPharr, the municipal effort which formally kicked off in 2017 with a feasibility study.
Jose and Guillermo share how the city moved to a fixed wireless pilot project on the southern part of town a few years ago before extending the network to a collection of city parks and then making the commitment to a full citywide buildout in 2020. They detail their early work in the state, which places some barriers in front of communities looking to take their telecommunications future into their own hands, and the help they got from Mont Belvieu (which also runs its own network). Jose and Guillermo share the phenominally fast progress the team has made, from finishing the design phase in September of last year, to connecting the first household in January 2022, to passing 70 percent of premisestoday.They also talk about their work to offer subscribers low pricing tiers ($25 and $50/month for symmetrical 500 Mbps and gigabit service, respectively) and their efforts to help households sign up for the Affordable Connectivity Program.
Check out the videos at the bottom of this story for more about why Pharr undertook the project and the progress the city has made so far.

Another Fiber Optic Project in Texas Aims to Connect Residents and Businesses
Posted April 2, 2020 by Sushmita Shrestha
According to a recent article in Bluebonnet News, the City Council of Dayton, Texas, has approved a $13.7 million bond to operate its own fiber optic system. The city aims to make residents and businesses more self-reliant and less dependent on big cable companies.
Located 15 miles east of Houston, Dayton has a population of nearly 8,000 people. Once the 70 mile fiber network is complete, it will meet the connectivity needs of Dayton's residents and businesses now and well into the foreseeable future.
Slow Start in Texas
Texas is one of 19 states that have laws restricting cities from offering their own telecommunications services to residents. In Texas, state laws prevent municipal networks from offering voice and video services, but they can still provide Internet access to households. Mont Belvieu became the first city in the state to deploy its own citywide fiber network, after successful court rulings clarified the city's authority to offer broadband access. Since the city of Mont Belvieu created its high-quality fiber optic network, MB Link, it has connected about half of its residents and has inspired other rural areas and towns in the country. Dayton, Texas, is one of those communities which shares Mont Belvieu's vision, as per the article from Bluebonnet News:
Like Mont Belvieu, the City of Dayton will provide the Internet service as another utility, like water and sewer service. Theo Melancon, City Manager, believes the cost of the service will be more affordable for Dayton residents and businesses.

Residents of Dayton are currently relying on DSL and cable service from...
Dallas Morning News Covers Mont Belvieu's Trailblazing MB Link Network
Posted January 8, 2020 by Katie Kienbaum
We last wrote about MB Link, the municipal fiber network in Mont Belvieu, Texas, in October 2018. Since then, the city near Houston has connected about half of its 7,500 residents to the network and is talking about expanding into the surrounding county, reported the Dallas Morning News.
The in-depth article from late last month discussed many aspects of the groundbreaking network, including why the city decided to take charge, the legal and logistical challenges it faced, and how local service is benefiting the community.
MB Link Emerges
As in other communities, poor service quality from existing providers drove Mont Belvieu to deploy a city owned broadband network, the article explained:
For years, residents of this fast-growing town on the outer ring of Houston complained to local leaders about slow and spotty Internet. They put satellite dishes on their rooftops. They endured intermittent service and frequent outages.
So Mont Belvieu took matters into its own hands: It decided to build and operate its own high-speed Internet service.
Now, MB Link offers residents across the city speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second for only $75 a month. Approximately half of all Mont Belvieu households get Internet access from the municipal network, which has recently begun providing service to businesses as well.
Community Networks Create Competition
Mont Belvieu isn't the only city that has built a broadband network to create options for residents and businesses, the article noted:
Christopher Mitchell, director of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance's community broadband network initiative, said cities began building broadband networks in the 1990s when they had no Internet. Now, he said, they're motivated because they feel stuck with Internet that's inferior or overpriced.
"The simple fact is without good government policy to create...
Court Confirms Texas Home Rule Authority to Build, Finance Community Network
Posted October 17, 2018 by Lisa Gonzalez
Located only 30 miles east of Houston, it's hard to believe that Mont Belvieu, Texas, ever had poor Internet access. Faced with complaints from residents and businesses, city officials decided to deploy fiber and bring fast, affordable, reliable gigabit connectivity directly to the community via MB Link.
How to Fix the Problem
While it's not far from the center of a large metro area, Mont Belvieu still maintains a rural character. The town's history is based in the oil and natural gas industry, which began in the early 1900s. As City Manager Nathan Watkins told Christopher Mitchell in episode 326 of our podcast, approximately 85 percent of natural gas liquids in the U.S. travel to Mont Belvieu for processing. With more than 10,000 miles of pipeline within their salt domes, the town of 8,000 has become a centerpiece of oil and natural gas processing.
Before MB Link, the community dealt with a patchwork of services offered by several different providers. Even though more than one provider operated in town, they didn't compete with each other. Without competition, ISPs had no impetus to improve services. Residents complained about DSL download speeds of 1.5 Megabits per second (Mbps) and cable Internet access download speeds topping out at 5 Mbps. There were even premises that could not obtain Internet access because ISPs reported saturated networks and were not willing to make investments to serve more subscribers.
In 2016, a feasibility study in Mont Belvieu revealed that 60 percent of residents and 79 percent of businesses felt that local Internet access wasn't adequate for their needs. In the same survey, 90 percent of residents and 100 percent of business respondents opined that high-speed Internet access is an essential service in the same manner as electricity and water.
In addition to the problems that Mont Belvieu was already having with poor Internet access, the community was growing — something city leaders wanted to encourage. New subdivisions were planned but incumbent ISPs didn't want to deploy infrastructure to the new areas, leaving...
Small Town Does Fiber Bigger In Texas - Community Broadband Bits Podcast 326
Posted October 9, 2018 by Lisa Gonzalez
We don't often get the opportunity to interview people from Texas, so when we heard about Mont Belvieu's gigabit fiber optic network we knew we had to have them on the show. When we learned that four officials from the east Texas town would join us we said, "Even better!" City Manager Nathan Watkins, Director of Broadband and IT Dwight Thomas, Assistant City Manager Scott Swigert, and Communications and Marketing Director Brian Ligon are on the show this week to talk about their publicly owned network, MB Link.
Before they were able to provide the fast, affordable, reliable service to residents all over town, Mont Belvieu had to assert themselves in a legal proceeding against the State of Texas. In this conversation, the guys discuss their elegant argument that won over the court. You'll also hear why community leaders decided that, even though Mont Belvieu had a thriving oil and gas industry, they felt that investing in high-quality Internet access for residents was a goal they aimed to achieve for the public good. The residents in Mont Belvieu drove this project.
People in Mont Belvieu have clambered to sign up for the network. Our guests discuss how they've used their town's strengths to market the services they offer and how they continue to use communications to help subscribers get the most from MB Link. The guys also talk about how the city plans to add businesses to the network and the reactions from incumbents.

The propaganda says Network Neutrality is about treating every packet exactly the same, but the Internet has never done that. The propaganda says that Network Neutrality is about regulating the Internet, but we know that the Internet exists thanks to the government's ArpaNet, and subsequent wise government regulation.
Look who's calling for regulation anyway! The only reason telcos and cablecos exist is that there's a whole body of franchises and tariffs and licenses and FCCs and PUCs keeping them in business.

Why you should raise a glass to English Wine Week in Herefordshire
I'm inspecting neat, newly flowering rows on a sun-dappled day in the English countryside.
But I'm not strolling in the gardens of a stately home. Instead, I've come to a vineyard in the rural heartland of Herefordshire to witness an unlikely trend: the rise of quality English wines.
No, really. The patchwork-quilt landscape, best known for its autumn cider harvest, is now home to a group of wineries helping to fuel the boom in English wine tourism.
Who would have thought that our home-grown vino could have gone from quirky curiosity to award winner?
But the start of English Wine Week (June 18) is set to confirm the trend with 195 wineries, producing 9m bottles of English wine per year, according to 2021 figures from Wines of Great Britain.
Furthermore, wine tourism increased by 57% in 2020, reflecting a boom in domestic visits to wineries and sales direct from the cellar door.
"The growth reflects the way climate change has enabled some grape varieties to flourish in new parts of England, but also a better understanding generally of techniques," explains Julia Trustram Eve, Head of Marketing at Wines of Great Britain.
"Sparkling wines (64% of the market) still dominate but confidence is growing in still wines — especially linked to food pairing."
The coming of age of English wine means places like the Wye Valley in the Welsh Marches come become our answer to the Route des Grands Crus in Burgundy. Jamie McIntyre, the owner of the Wythall Estate Vineyard, is poised, corkscrew in hand.
"The Wye Valley is the perfect showcase for English wines, driving through the countryside in an open-top car and stopping off at wineries," he says.
Wythall's vineyard, set in the grounds of the 16th-century family estate, is just two miles outside the historic market town of Ross-on-Wye. It grows four varieties, based on German stock, across its four acres, producing around 4,000 bottles per year.
The Fruhburgunder grape produces Wythall's Pinot Noir (£30 per bottle), which won Gold at the Independent English Wine Awards 2022.
Wild rabbits scamper through the vines and fallow deer emerge gingerly into the sunlight in the fields beyond as Jamie takes me on a tour of the vineyard.
He tells me afterwards, as we taste the wines in the wood-paneled dining room, the glasses embossed with the family crest that dates from the 1500s:
"The snobbery around English wine has gone. It's no longer a blind spot for wine drinkers."
Jamie's wines are served alongside pints of local Butty Bach at The Hostelrie gastropub in the nearby village of Goodrich, close to medieval Goodrich Castle.
I match a dinner of monkfish and chorizo, followed by a plum compote with cold custard, with a glass of Jamie's Sparkling Rose in the garden on a sun-kissed summer evening.
The next day, I visit the Coddington Vineyard [pictured above], which along with Wythall and Frome Valley Vineyards, features in a series of new, self-guided wine walks of Herefordshire.
I follow an undulating five-mile route from the Church of St James, located in the village of Colwall, then cross Coddington's vineyard for lunch before climbing Oyster Hill, the Malvern Hills and the town of Ledbury on the horizon.
Coddington is one of the more mature wineries in the region with three varieties, including two still whites and a sparkling Pinot Gris.
"You only get good wine from good grapes," explains owner Peter Maiden, showing off his neatly pruned rows of Ortega, grapes derived from German Riesling stock.
"There's a lot of coordination between sugars and acid."
The vines start to bud in May and will be in full flower for English Wine Week with harvest time bringing a frenzy of activity to the tranquil rural site come October.
"It's a labour of love but very satisfying," says co-owner Sharon Maiden.
"Given longer summers and milder winters, our wines increasingly benefit from a fruity, floral flavour that make them uniquely English."
I agree, and having stocked up at the cellar door, I'll be embracing home-grown wines from now on.
After all, how better to celebrate The Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend than raising a glass of new-generation English wine.

Did you know that many government organizations are still manually sorting through documents and organizing or "classifying" them? Can you believe that? Manually! Even though we are approaching the year 2017 and there are digital solutions to almost everything, this industry chooses to manually classify their very important documents.
The thought that this is an acceptable process in such an important industry completely boggles my mind. Why wouldn't they want so streamline this repetitive, manual process and transform these documents into retrievable business-ready data? Think of all the time, resources, money, and reduction of errors that could be improved upon if their workflow became automated.
A typical county recorder's office might be performing a batch scan of various documents. Some of these documents could include, Notices of Lien, survey documents, transference of titles, Release of Federal Tax Liens, Notice of Federal Tax Liens, Affidavits of Death, or DD214 forms. By deploying an Automated Document Classification System, each of these different document types can be identified, routed to its appropriate destination without delay or the need to print-and-deliver faxes to the correct department. Automating this manual and repetitive process results in a more accurate and efficient workflow.
Automated Document Classification is defined based on your business requirements and documents. Documents may be classified according to subjects or based on other attributes such as; document type, author, printing year, etc.
Once these classifications are defined, documents stored in an assigned repository or arriving by fax, e-mail or via an upstream workflow, are sent to an Automated Document Classification application. Using a system that has many years' worth of data capture experience and comprehensive library of keywords, phrases, contextual clues, and pattern recognition, documents can be recognized as one of your organization's defined document types. When the document is classified, it can then be directed to designated workflows for further processing or storage.

Unique perfumes crafted by Asc Alchemical.
To create a spagyric tincture, herbal matter, from scratch, is dried, steeped in potable alcohol (the alchemical Mercury) to extract the volatile essential oils (the alchemical Sulphur), the solids are drained out and ignited, burned to white ash from which salts are extracted (the alchemical Salt). The three components are combined to create an elevated alchemical 'child' from which all earthly material has been stripped away, leaving only the metaphysical essence.
Historically produced as a medicine, here scented with natural essential oils and absolutes as a delightful perfume!
LEMON BALM (melissa officinalis): Communicative, friend to the bees, highest earthly source of the fifth element- quintessence, all-heal. Citrusy lemon, verbena, lighter greens like thyme and magnolia leaf.
RED ROSE: A truly unique Valentine's Day gift: one dozen roses condensed into one small vial of potently scented rose perfume. One dozen roses are dried, steeped with rose quartz and red tiger's eye in perfume alcohol (the alchemical Mercury) to extract the volatile essential oils (the alchemical Sulphur), the solids are drained out and ignited, burned to white ash from which salts are extracted (the alchemical Salt). All of which are recombined and a hand-mixed blend of precious and exotic rose essences is added.
DAFFODIL (narcissus poeticus): Sunny springtimey, mesmerizing hypnotic sensuous subtle animal notes, Venusian. Immortelle, jasmine, honeysuckle.
ROSE THORN : This is a unique fragrance product, crafted by hand from scratch from the thorns from fresh roses. The thorns were dried, steeped with powdered black tourmaline in perfume alcohol (the alchemical Mercury) to extract the volatile essential oils (the alchemical Sulphur), the solids are drained out and ignited, burned to white ash from which salts are extracted (the alchemical Salt). The energy and essence of the rose's thorns is protection, and this extract was then scented with pungent vetiver, birch tar, and a bit of dark patchouli for a smoky musty aroma/intention equivalent of a hedgehog's cute little spines.
NETTLE (urtica dioica): Nourishing, pungent, defensive, and green. Cumin, patchouli, vetiver, basil, rosemary.

Piranha Records celebrates 15 years in Round Rock
This article was originally published in Community Impact Newspaper:
https://communityimpact.com/austin/round-rock-pflugerville-hutto/business/2018/10/08/piranha-records-independent-music-store-celebrates-15-years-in-round-rock/
When John Aleman was looking for a location to open Piranha Records in September 2003, he said he found his current storefront with the help of one of I-35's most notorious qualities—traffic.
"When we went to go look for a location … we took the first exit where traffic was backed up, and it still is," Aleman said of his location right off the intersection of southbound I-35 and Hwy. 79. "It has worked well because over the years people come in and say, 'Dude, traffic is bad out there, so I just thought I'd pull in.' That's why we're here."
Over the last 15 years Aleman said the store has evolved to meet the needs of the constantly changing music industry.
"At first it was mostly CDs, we still had vinyl but it just didn't move much," Aleman said. "Then everything started changing, and I started taking the CDs back to the warehouse and bringing the records from the warehouse to the store. It continues on a weekly or monthly basis of killing off certain sections [of the store]and making more vinyl sections."
Aleman said that operating as a small business allows him more flexibility to change and meet the needs of his customers.
"You have to be able to change and listen. We can do certain things for the customer because we're small," Aleman said, adding that the ability to offer free parking is another advantage of the store's size and location.
The aisles of Piranha Records are filled with countless CDs, DVDs and vinyl records ranging in genre from alternative rock to country to jazz to Tejano. Music aficionados can find new releases or used records in the crates at the store.
"The crate diggers—those are the people who dig through all of the records—they are usually going to find the best deals and rare finds, but other people only want to buy new records," Aleman said. "Neither are wrong—it's just a matter of what you want."
Aleman said that while vinyl seems to be the non-digital medium of choice for music shoppers there are still many who enjoy CDs, and even cassette tapes are making a comeback.
"People have to enjoy their music," Aleman said. "It doesn't matter which format you have; just enjoy it."

Senator O'Connor Appointed to Legislative Panel Responsible for Investigating Holyoke Soldiers' Home
The Panel is tasked with investigating a spring 2020 COVID-19 outbreak and resident deaths at the home
BOSTON, MA – State Senator Patrick O'Connor (R-Weymouth) has been appointed to the legislative oversight committee tasked with probing the Holyoke Soldiers' Home leadership and staffing, its COVID-19 response and preparedness, and the results of the investigations into the facility. The committee was formed in July of 2020 after the home experienced one of the country's worst COVID-19 outbreaks in a long-term care facility.
"Each resident who has called this facility home dutifully served their country and they deserve the highest quality of care," said O'Connor. "It is tragic that 76 veterans lost their lives while residing at the Holyoke Soldiers' Home and I look forward to joining my colleagues on this panel who have been working for months to ensure tragic event like this never happen again."
An independent investigation ordered by Governor Baker examining the tragedy at the home was released this past June. Following the independent investigation, Attorney General Maura Healey filed criminal charges against former Superintendent Bennet Walsh and former medical director David Clinton. The former officials have since pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The next hearing of the Special Committee will take place on January 21st.
The committee is co-chaired by Rep. Linda Dean Campbell (D-Methuen) and Senator Walter Timilty (D-Milton). O'Connor was appointed this week to the committee by Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester).

Sen. Flake: GOP Must Stand Against Trump's Behavior 'Or Lose That Chance'
Andrew Harnik
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., accompanied by his wife Cheryl, leaves the Capitol in Washington on Tuesday after announcing he won't seek re-election in 2018.
Sen. Jeff Flake, the Arizona Republican who announced his retirement in a withering speech aimed at President Trump, tells NPR that he is "deeply saddened" to leave the Senate, but that lawmakers must take a stand now against the administration's behavior or "lose that chance."
Addressing his Senate colleagues on Tuesday, Flake — who has sparred with the president for months — called out the Trump administration for what he described as its "casual undermining of our democratic ideals" as well as "reckless, outrageous and undignified" behavior. Speaking to Morning Edition host Steve Inskeep, the senator said it "was a tough speech to give."
"I love this institution. I'm not leaving because I'm sour on the Senate or Congress," he says. "I'm deeply saddened to leave it."
Flake, who served four terms in the House before being elected to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate in 2013, said he would retire in early January 2019 rather than seek a second term.
The expectation that Trump would grow into the presidency has not materialized. "[The] pivot we all hoped for isn't coming.
"Before this becomes the new normal, I think we have to stand up and say this is not normal behavior," Flake tells NPR. "And if we don't stand up now, we're going to lose that chance."
The senator's harsh words come on the heels of increasingly vocal criticism of Trump from a handful of influential Senate Republicans.
Just over a week ago, Sen. John McCain, Flake's Arizona colleague, warned about the rise of "half-baked, spurious nationalism." And Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., has openly questioned the president's competence and referred to the chaotic White House as "an adult day care center." Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, announced last month that he would not seek re-election next year, all but acknowledging that the White House has made it impossible to do his job.
Flake, who has consistently enjoyed high marks from conservative groups, says that in the current political climate, that isn't enough to get elected.
"Now you have to behave differently and be more angry and take positions and act in ways that I don't think are becoming of conservatives," he says, adding that he believes "this fever will go down at some point."
"The spell will break. Resentment is not a governing philosophy," he tells NPR.
"You need to legislate, and in order to legislate, you need to work with your friends across the aisle. You can't refer to them as clowns or losers, as the president has done," he says.
Flake, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, says he is worried about America's foreign policy, which he says is "chaotic" under the Trump administration.
"There is something to the old 'madman theory,' to keep your adversary off base, not knowing what you'll do," he says, referring to the unofficial foreign policy first associated with the Nixon White House to convince potential enemies that the president could be unpredictable under pressure.
"There has to be some underlying strategy. I'm not sure that we have that," Flake tells NPR. "It's not a good sign and doesn't bode well for peace and security long term."
Asked by Steve whether he thinks "something needs to be done" about Trump, the Flake replies: "If you are asking if I think the president has committed high crimes or misdemeanors, I don't think so."
"And I don't think there is any Article 25 remedy," he says, referring to a clause in the U.S. Constitution that provides for removing a president who "is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
"I just think we just ought to stand up and require something better in terms of behavior and treatment of members of Congress and others, Gold Star families, you name it," Flake says. "But that doesn't have to involve any remedy like the 25th Amendment or impeachment proceedings."

Spring Festival: Very cool — even in the heat
Richard J. Bayne
dbayne@th-record.com
SUGAR LOAF — For this year's three-day Spring Festival, organizers in the "Art and Craft Village" closed off the hamlet's main street and packed it with some 70 vendors, selling everything from crystals to handmade jewelry, goat-milk skin-care products to vinyl records, tie-dyed dyed clothing to all-natural homemade dog biscuits.
That's on top of the 20-some permanent shops that line the street.
If you get tired of shopping, there'll be 12 different musical groups, entertaining on a shady lawn during the three-day event. And you won't go hungry or thirsty. There's plenty of fresh-squeezed lemonade, a big selection of homemade natural foods, hot dogs and hamburgers of course, and even authentic Polish food, courtesy of the Florida Bakery and Deli.
Rachel Bertoni, vice president of the Sugar Loaf Chamber of Commerce, said they're expecting about 5,000 people each of the three days to take in what she calls the "Sugar Loaf experience." "People come here for special things," said Bertoni, who owns a jewelry shop. "They get bored with the big-box stores." The festival is about 40 years old, Bertoni said.
The chamber president, Elaine Scarane, said visitors will find that the village's shopkeepers are totally devoted to their crafts. Some make the items right on site. "It's what they're all about," Scarane said.
Tony and Hope Silva, who just moved to Sugar Loaf from Grand Rapids, Mich., found the festival to be a great introduction to their new home. "I'm surprised by how much there is here," Hope Silva said as the couple wheeled their 10-month-old son, Lincoln, past the booths. "It's reasonably priced, too."
"It's been amazing," said Tony Silva. "Everyone's been so friendly."
Over at the booth set up outside her crystal shop, The Bodhi Tree, owner Veronica "Vero" Bero was explaining the benefits of a crystal salt lamp to Jaclyn Houlahan of Chester as onlookers watched. Bero explained how the lamp pulls water vapor from the atmosphere and projects negative ions that prevent illness.
"I live here, and it's nice to see people supporting local artists," Houlahan said.
Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday and Monday

Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was very 'positive' about the various demands of Odisha during his meeting this afternoon.
Re-iterating the long-standing demand of Special Category Status for Odisha, Naveen and party MPs put forth a series of demands including revision of mineral royalty and a hold on Polavaram project.
Besides, the BJD supremo accompanied by 24 party MPs also demanded Rs 1,397 cr as special central assistance for 'Nabakalebar' of Lord Jagannath to be held in 2015. He drew the attention of PM for State's demand to include Sambalpuri, Koshali & Ho languages of Odisha in the 8th schedule of the constitution.
Asked about the possibility of the BJD supporting the NDA government at the Centre, Patnaik said there had been no discussion or thought about that yet. But he hastened to add that his government will have a 'positive and constructive' attitude towards the Modi government.
"Our approach will be constructive and positive towards the government at the Centre," he said.
Patnaik said the question of supporting NDA in the Rajya Sabha, where it does not have a majority, did not come up for discussion during his meeting with the Prime Minister.
Raising the controversial Polavaram project, Patnaik appealed to Modi to stop construction of the river project which would submerge parts of Malkangiri district.
"We demanded to recognize the genuine concerns of Odisha on submergence and flooding of Malkangiri and to hold the Polavaram project," the CM said.
He also demanded early commencement of international flight operation to and from Bhubaneswar.

We successfully wrapped up covering another set of elections. This time, closer to home.
In Trinidad and Tobago together with Solution by Simulation, we provided data capture, analysis and reporting for the General Elections on September 7.
I built specialized tools for us to capture and make the data available via API.
From there, the visualization experts TV6 hired displayed the info in real time.
It was great building and supporting this data capture for such an important event.

Oh, what's that Google/Samsung? You've canceled next week's Ice Cream Sandwich/Nexus Prime event? That's cool. I mean, sure: pretty much all of the tech press has non-refundable plane tickets and hotel rooms already… but hey: at least we all get to work from San Diego for a few days now!
Regardless, most of what they would've announced is leaking out now anyway. The latest leak to spring up: a series of beautiful screenshots capturing Ice Cream Sandwich in full detail.
As you might've expected from the constant chatter that Ice Cream Sandwich would bring the overhauled look and feel of Honeycomb's tablet interface to phones, Ice Cream Sandwich… looks like Honeycomb running on a smaller screen. And it looks crazy beautiful.
What do you think? Do you prefer the original, vanilla Android, or the new, Tron-tastic look of ICS?

Q: Handling the MongoDB _id Required field When inserting objects to MongoDB collection the _id field is optional.
If the object is missing the _id field MongoDB collection will auto-generate it.
But when fetching from MongoDB collection to the object type then an exception will be thrown from MongoDB telling you that the _id field is missing from the object type.
We have a large solution with a lot of different common object entities for serving all the solution projects.
Some need caching (storing) in MongoDB.
We need to eliminate having the _id field on them because it's only relevant to MongoDB.
Is it possible in some way?

The Beach is starting to come alive. Homeowners are beginning the process of opening their homes. For some, it is a simple task, for most it takes a bit of work. At a minimum, outdoor furniture needs to be brought outside and scrubbed, screens need to be washed and re-installed.
Don't forget batteries, especially for flashlights and smoke detectors.
JOE AND JILL DOBIAS, the owners of Joe and Misses Doe in the East Village, have closed their restaurant. "We were ready to move on," Ms. Dobias said. A few weeks ago, after meeting Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his partner, Phil Suarez, Mr. and Ms. Dobias suspended a project they were developing. Now, Mr. Dobias is the executive chef of Le Dock in Fair Harbor, on Fire Island, and his wife is the manager. Mr. Suarez opened Le Dock in 1976. The restaurant will open on a preliminary basis this weekend and serve lunch and dinner seven days a week starting in mid-June.

This Follow location contains a space betweeb (psd2_accounts psd2_payments). Which is not being converted into %20

How can I encode the follow location parameters as well so that the above url automatically become
/mga/sps/authsvc?PolicyId=urn:ibm:security:authentication:asf:username_login&client_id=XXXXXXXXXXXX&response_type=code&scope=**psd2_accounts%20psd2_payments**&redirect_uri=https://testcallback.com/test&state=undefined

A: URLs are per definition URL encoded already. Otherwise it is not a URL. HTTP redirects should by definition redirect to URLs and they MUST be URL encoded already. Not doing so is a violation of the HTTP spec (Source). The api-sandbox.sebgroup.com website is not returning a real URL in their redirect. Maybe you should consider contacting them and notifying them of this problem since cURL is a pretty common way to access an API.
If they can't get this fixed in a timely manner, I wouldn't recommend just url-encoding the Location header because they might fix it in the future and then you will be double-encoding the URL, which is also obviously wrong. You need to urlencode it only if it is invalid.
Therefore, what I suggest is to remove the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option to make sure that it doesn't follow the redirects and add a CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, which will be called by curl for each header received, urlencode the Location header, only if present and invalid, and then execute curl in a loop until there is no Location header. Since spaces in URLs violate the spec, PHP's filter_var() function properly considers it to be invalid.
$url = 'https://example.com';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// this function is called by curl for each header received
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION,
    function($curl, $header) use (&$headers) {
        $len = strlen($header);
        $header = explode(':', $header, 2);
        if (count($header) < 2) {
            // ignore invalid headers
            return $len;
        }

        $name = strtolower(trim($header[0]));

        if ($name == 'location' && !filter_var(trim($header[1]), FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
            $header[1] = urlencode(trim($header[1]));
        }

        $headers[$name][] = trim($header[1]);

        return $len;
    }
);

// Maximum number of redirects
$max_iterations = 10;
$iterations = 0;

do {
    $url = $headers['location'][0] ?? $url;
    $headers = [];
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    print_r($headers);

} while (isset($headers['location']) && ++$iterations < $max_iterations);

As You Desire Me
US, 1932, 70 minutes, Black and white.
Greta Garbo, Melvyn Douglas, Erich von Stroheim, Owen Moore, Hedda Hopper.
Directed by George Fitzmaurice.
As You Desire Me is a brief melodrama. It is based on the play by Luigi Pirandello (at least the skeleton outline of the play).
The setting is central Europe between the wars. Greta Gabo plays Zara, an alcoholic singer in Budapest who is living with the writer Karl Salter (allegedly based on the playwright Ferenc Molnar – The Swan). Her husband is a brutal man, sadomasochistic and Zara wants to leave the partnership. When a young man arrives (Owen Moore) claiming that Zara is really Maria who has suffered shellshock loss of memory during an incident in World War One and is really married to his friend Count Bruno (Melvyn Douglas), Zara takes the opportunity to escape, to relate to the count, to be pursued vindictively by Salter. However, a woman from a mental institution is also brought to the castle and it is claimed that she is the true Maria.
As with Pirandello's stories about identity, the audience is left to look at the characters and try to work out what is the truth.
The film is an early talkie and has Garbo with her accent – not a particularly good performance, striking because of her ability to throw her head backwards at an almost ninety-degree angle to her neck. Erich von Stroheim seems to be completely exaggerating the melodramatics of his role (and his peculiar accent). Melvyn Douglas is not particularly good at all. He was to appear with Garbo ten years later in Two -Faced Woman, her last film. Columnist Hedda Hopper also has a role.
1.An early talkie? The limitations of film-making at the time?
2.Pirandello's work, ambiguous characters, the search for identity? The whittling down of his plot and characters and dialogue?
3.Black and white photography, the studios for central Europe, Budapest, the castle, the countryside?
4.The issues of World War One and shellshock? The aftermath? Amnesia and identity?
5.Greta Garbo as Zara, her life, singing, her audiences, her drinking? Her relationship with Karl? The brutality? Her wanting to leave? The encounter with Tony, her escape, Karl's pursuit and his vengeance? Bruno, the relationship? The other Maria and her decisions about her true identity?
6.Erich von Stroheim as Karl Salter, his screen presence, eccentricity, accent, over-the-top performance? His character's relationship with Zara, his jealousy, her going, his pursuit, the confrontation with Bruno?
7.Melvyn Douglas as Bruno, a poor performance? Suave, married to Maria, his wealth, welcoming Zara, the confrontation with Karl? The woman being brought from the institute? His decision as to who was the true Maria?
8.Tony, his camp style, his news about Bruno, with Zara, taking her to Bruno?
9.The background of the Budapest clubs between the wars? The contrast with the country estates and their wealth?
10.A curiosity item from the early days of talking movies?
