Q: spring @Transactional with coroutines in webflux is throwing an error When adding @Transactional annotation to a service suspend function which is being called by the handler I get the following error. If I leave it without the annotation then the code works as expected but in case of error it cannot roll back.
either is coming from arrow-kt-core
asHandlerFunction is used as a brigde to be able to document the APIs.
Any idea what happens?
Entities and repositories are placed under io.x.a. The service is inside io.x. The repository scans only io.x.a

                    }
            }
        }!!

At the end of executeAndAwait it commits the code. If the rollbackOnly flag is set then it will instruct the ReactiveTransactionManager to roll back the changes.

Die Fußball-Verbandsliga Niederrhein 1987/88 war die 42. Spielzeit der höchsten Spielklasse im Fußballverband Niederrhein. Sie war auf der vierten Ligenebene unterhalb der Oberliga Nordrhein angesiedelt und wurde in einer Staffel ausgetragen.

Im Vergleich zur Vorsaison war Viktoria Goch nach fünf Jahren wieder aus der Oberliga Nordrhein abgestiegen. Aus den Landesligen kamen die drei Aufsteiger BV Altenessen 06 (Rückkehr nach elf Jahren), SC Schiefbau sowie die zweite Amateurmannschaft von Bayer 05 Uerdingen (beide erstmals in der Verbandsliga) hinzu.

Sieger wurde erstmals der SV Wermelskirchen, der damit in die Oberliga Nordrhein aufstieg.

Am Saisonende mussten die Mannschaften auf den letzten drei Plätzen absteigen. Der VfB Lohberg verließ die Verbandsliga nach drei Spielzeiten wieder, der Duisburger FV 08 nach sechs Jahren und die zweite Amateurmannschaft von Bayer 05 Uerdingen nach einer Saison.

Started 4 years ago (2015-01-26T03:00:00Z).
Ended 3 years ago (2015-12-31T03:00:00Z).
Many of us have jobs but also home projects. Its often hard to get home and shift some code. So this is to encourage people with jobs to code a little bit each day when they get home.
today I implemented a JACK client moonscript class for my audio player, that allows for really easy usage of the jack api.
this will make interfacing with the audio system really easy, so I can focus on doing playlist management and codecs next.
made another example to test playing audio from actual raw audio files.
next I'll try to get some code to resample on the fly, then I'll start with the actual modular program, so any new features can be just dropped in as moonscript modules.
"Yet Another Better Audio PLAYER". trying to build a music player that does all the things I'm missing from the ones I've used so far (and the best of those they did).
makes annoying noise sound via JACK.
I'm not going to attempt every day, but I'll try to post here a bit again. I've more-or-less been lazy about submitting here. In any case, maybe this will motivate others to remember to submit again.
This will read from input, execute any words in the dictionary, and exit when you type " die" (without quotes and the leading space) and press enter.
Next up will likely be things like branching words and figuring out a good method for doing that.
Wrote some quick shader that makes everything grayscale. No pictures, so you will have to imagine.
My journey with Luxe continues.
I got the parcels working and was able to import and display graphics now, so the placeholder graphics should disappear over the next day or two. I ran into some major headscratchers with importing textures and json files and having them be available to Luxe, but I figured them out after some frustration. My problems came with everything being loaded asynchronously. I thought that the Luxe ParcelLoader (which I thought was a preloader, but actually isn't) would hold the game until all the assets were finished loading but it doesn't. I had to add all my sprite and game initializations into a load_complete function and add if(sprite==null) return; to the top of my update() loop to prevent it from running before all the assets are loaded.
I wrote a pretty substantial blog post about it here.
Now that the cat is running in the game again I've cleared another major hurdle. Now once I get the remaining graphic assets in the game I'll be officially where I was at the end of last week when I switched the engine from HaxeFlixel. Actually, a little ahead because I have the collisions for the boxes and stuff working now and they weren't before. My last problem with the graphics is getting the sprite to display offset from the Shape that controls collisions. I'm sure it is a simple fix but I just haven't found it yet.
Great progress with Luxe and the Catabalt remake. I've got the base logic nearly done, collisions detecting correctly, my states set up and working, increasing difficulty and running at a steady 60fps in a browser in HTML5.
Luxe is performing like I hoped it would. Giving me plenty of options but then staying out of my way and letting me implement the way that I want to. The code this time around is much cleaner than my first attempt. Some of this is because I'm not hacking around the HaxeFlixel stuff I don't need for the game because of the engine change, but a good portion of it is because I rewrote all the code from scratch and I'm not iterating or making the mistakes I did last time.
I'd share a link to play it, but I'm still fighting with getting Joomla to embed HTML5 games correctly, so a GIF for now.
I'm starting to like Luxe. I still don't like it as much as HaxeFlixel, but I'm still fighting to learn it, so who knows. One thing that I do love about it so far is the way that it handles States.
Basically today I created a Finite State Machine to control the game states in Luxe. What is cool about how Luxe handles them is that I can switch between them easily, or I can enable them individually to have multiple states active at once. I'm going to use them to create modular behavior for entities that I can reuse. So for instance, I can create a SearchState where the entity will wander around trying to find the player and I can add that state to every entity in the game to give them all that ability.
The same states can be used to run the game logic too.
I wrote a whole long blog post about it here if you are interested.
Options menu - You can adjust the length of the debate and the thinking time to make things easier or harder (that was for you @Anja).
Word list - The word list is greatly cut down from 50,000 words to about 5,000. I am a native English speaker and have a fairly extensive vocabulary and I had never seen half of the words before. Younger audiences or individuals who don't speak English as their first language can enjoy the absurdity of the debate more if they know what the words mean (Thanks for pointing this out @Stephan) Plus, I enjoy it more with the change also.
Game speed - I eliminated some of the prompts and the messages that didn't add anything to the game but did slow it down. I also reduced the default number of rounds to 6 from 10 (although you can move it back up again if you want in the options menu). Each debate takes less than half the time that it used to.
You can play the new version here.
I'm working on my entry for Ludum Dare 32 (theme: An unconventional weapon). My entry is The Great Debate. Beat down your opponenets with the power of your words!
The game is a puzzle game disguised as a debate simulator. Each round you get a list of four words to pick from. They are all worth a different amount of points based on some criteria, but to find out what that criteria is you are going to have to experiment and watch how both your words and your opponents words are scoring. Better figure it out quickly because there are only 10 rounds in the debate until the winner is determined.
Note this is after one day. I still have all day tomorrow to clean up the little things, add more puzzles (each debate has the same solution now), add additional characters, and all that fun stuff. Plus, the MadLibs inspired jokes,which are kind of the entire point of this thing.
Started working on my LD entry, I won't probably finish it because of other duties.
Still working and experimenting with phaserjs.
I made a ton of progress on my quick game for this week called MetaRPG. It is an affectionate parody of RPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior where you will walk along the plotline to the right. As you walk you gain experience and currency units but lose HP/MP. You can rest and restore at towns as well as trace currency units for equipment levels which lets you travel further along the plotline. I'm hoping that it is more fun than it sounds as I describe it.
I created all the basic layout stuff and added everything to the scene. I also coded the flag that keeps track of the farthest location you have reached along the plotline. The thinking is that moving forward in on the plotline is slow when you are advancing the plot (either because you get lost in mazes, or deal with cutscenes, or mazes with cutscenes) but faster when you are revisiting previously explored areas.
Managed to get something done (for the coding, it's the 3rd day in a row) despite an ongoing flu.
Not posting the art because it's based upon friends' photos.
I'm officially at the point where I can release Black Box beta for public consumption. This was primarily an entry for the One Game a Week streak. I made it in about 4 days over the course of about 5 hours.
The game is fully playable as it is. I need to add a menu, a How To Play screen, then add more polish, color changes, and different difficulty levels. If I'm feeling really ambitious I might add a high scores table or something. Maybe some relaxing music and sound effects at some point.
EDIT - I finished it off. There is a "How to Play" as well as three different difficulties. I cleaned up some of the interface stuff (you can't click on the same space more than once now, for instance). There is one extremely rare case that the lasers give the wrong result and occasionally the random color generator comes up with a color extremely close to the background color so it is hard to see. I don't think I'm going back to fix it though. On to the next!
I entered the Weekly Game Streak which is causing me to put on hold some of the larger projects. So I started programming a game which is a copy of the board game Black Box. The goal is to locate the placement of Atoms within a hidden area (the Black Box) by shooting lasers in the sides and seeing where they come out. The game is mainly two players but it has the option if playing solitaire play if you don't mind looking up your guesses on a bunch of tables. It is a pretty simple game and one that should be easily achievable in a week.
Finished off the bot by adding XML parsing to read the jam feed.
Updated Contrabot to have larger tile grid, UI that scales with grid, inspector with finite memory, and variable inspection rates. The last two took 20 minutes, first two took 1.5 hours... UI is way hard than AI, apparently.
I coded some of the gameplay flow today. Simple gamestate changes that determine how the game plays. I also mostly coded an event system that will let me easily queue up a bunch of visual effects that will automatically play and then pass along control to the next state when they are finished.
Mostly behind the scenes stuff. I should have something visual the next update.
Took another break mostly out of lack of time, other obligations, etc. I got back into it a bit tonight when I realized I hadn't updated Docker in a very long time (as in, I was on version 0.4.6 circa June 22, 2013) on my desktop at home. Upon updating that, also built the docker client for the BeagleBone Black.Unfortunately (and rather expectedly), the daemon wouldn't build.
After playing around with that a bit, I started prototyping a Forth implementation in Go. I got as far as defining a couple structures implementing a common word header (name & flags mostly.) They also satisfy a common interface which includes a codeword function. The linked version iterates through the functions executing them, while the func struct runs a single function defined in the structure. This seems like a pretty straight forward way to implement this, but I'll likely play around with other methods out of curiosity.
Today I coded the battle stuff so troops can actually whack each other.
So today I massively gutted the game to make it conform to MCV standards. It meant breaking up my FlxSprites because they contain all the model data also. I also did a ton of optimization and the new code is smaller and streamlined and much easier to write and modify. Unfortunately I just started putting the view together, so my end result is less than what I finished with yesterday.
I also changed the way that levels are loaded into the game. The old way was extremely manual and the new way can be completely done from in Tiled and is much faster.
I guess the moral of the story is sometimes you have to go backwards before you can go forwards.
Needed to take a bit of a break after the 33 day streak. Spent a bit of time looking at the Forth word structure. Figured out .int was giving a 32 bit int instead of 16 bit. Think the alignment issues should be worked out now. Did some other testing with MSP430 Forth. Simplified the test case a bit by about 10-20 lines.


Choosing the right domain name is really quite a simple process although deciding between all the options can be more difficult.
Are you a new or existing business?
If you are an existing business then you will want to try and find a domain name that either reflects your business name or the services your business provides.
If you are in the process of setting up a new business, I would suggest you check that a suitable domain name is available when choosing your business name, or at least check to see which domains have already been taken and whether they are being used by potential competitors.
Domain extensions are the letters that come after your domain name (.com, .uk etc.). There are literally hundreds to choose from however in my experience uk based companies still prefer to get a .co.uk domain. If another company is using a .co.uk domain name and you have the same domain with a different extension, the fear is, potential customers will see the .co.uk domain first and visit at best the wrong site or at worst your competitors site.
Why can't I register a .uk domain name?
Imagine the excitement you're searching for your perfect domain name and everything has been taken, but what's that, there's a .uk version of the domain you want but you can't register it?
.UK domains were introduced on the 10 June 2014, they are intended to bring the uk in line with the rest of europe by having a single two letter extension instead of the .co.uk which we currently use. In order to make things fair for anyone who has already registered the .co.uk version of their domain,first refusal is being offered until the 10 June 2019. To find out more about who is eligible to register a .uk domain you can contact me by email to info@kevinmccourt.co.uk or read the following article on .uk domains.
Regional variations offer companies who only operate locally to add geographical locations to their domains. One of my clients chose www.teessideexecutivecars.co.uk. This suited his business as the majority of his business is from people coming to or leaving the Teesside region.
Taking the example used above www.executivecars.co.uk, whilst an excellent domain name, it isn't actually being used for a website. It is being used for 'parked domain monetization'. The owner of the domain will receive revenue from creating links to other sites. Generally they will link to businesses that have a similar activity to the domain name.
This practice is not a great concern to me and if in the case of www.teessideexecutivecars.co.uk you are not going to be overly concerned about potential customers stumbling across www.executivecars.co.uk, as it will be clear it is not in competition.
You may also find that parked domains are up for sale, this again is not a great concern as domain owners have generally registered the domain just to try and sell and not to actually promote a business. Early on in my career I enquired about buying domains for some of my clients however the prices put on these domains are generally out of the reach of SME's.
Once you've decided on a domain, (searched the web for any potential competition that might have a similar name), you are ready to register your domain. I currently use a company called LCN to register my domains however there are plenty of other registras to choose from. Currently I charge £1 per month to register a .co.uk domain name which includes a small management and set up fee. You can register a domain for less however you need to be confident in setting up your domain to work with your website, email and ftp software.
A domain name is your internet address, put simply, it points to the location of your website and directs your emails to and from your service provider. You can keep your domain name whilst changing the location of either your website hosting or email provider by changing the dns records, this is generally best left to someone who knows what they are doing.
Occasionally I am contacted by businesses who have lost control of either their website, email or domain name. Whilst not a common problem it can occur and for a number of reasons, usually someone in the link going out of business or not paying a bill.
The good news is it's usually fairly straightforward to resolve with a quick search to find where the problem is. If we find a more complicated issue Nominet, the official registry for .uk domain names can intervene for a small fee.

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake, Big Sean In Savage New Track
By Dylan Kickham
Rap fans have been blessed with a ton of fiery diss tracks in the last few years.
There was Drake eviscerating Meek Mill in "Back to Back," and more recently Remy Ma and Nicki Minaj exchanging brutal words in tracks like "Shether" and "No Frauds."
Now it sounds like Kendrick Lamar is entering the ring as well, and he's looking to destroy Big Sean and Drake.
Kendrick just dropped his latest single, "Humble," along with a visually stunning music video, but the real story is that everyone is pretty sure the whole song is one huge diss to Big Sean.
Fans are pointing out Lamar is completely mocking Sean's flow in the chorus of the song, and taking his frequent phrase "lil' bitch."
KendrickLamarVEVO on YouTube
And "Humble" also comes just days after Kendrick released "The Heart Part 4," which everyone's pretty sure is also a diss track directed at Big Sean.
In the songs, Kendrick seems to be clearly calling out Sean. Though he doesn't say his name, his repeated mentions of "hol' up" and"lil' bitch" seem to be a direct reference to Sean, and he even refers to his opponent as "Big Pun" (Sean loves himself a pun).
The two rappers have been beefing for a few years now. Back in 2013, Kendrick used his featured verse on Big Sean's song "Control" to drag pretty much every major rapper in the game, including Big Sean himself! Since then, they've been subtly dissing each other every now and then on various tracks and freestyles.
Though their beef had been pretty low-key since "Control," Big Sean seemed to revive it pretty clearly when he released his song "No More Interviews" a few months ago, which many are assuming "The Heart Part 4" and "Humble" are responses to.
In his track, Big Sean expresses his distaste for rappers who rap fast and "sound like one big asthma attack," which seems to be referring to Kendrick's unconventional flow.
Kendrick pretty clearly hits back at Sean's flow by adopting his catchphrase-driven style on "Humble."
Big Sean isn't the only rapper people think Kendrick was targeting on his new track. Fans are also speculating "Humble" is a Drake diss, since Kendrick opted for a more chorus-driven performance and put out an overtly opulent music video, aspects that have become Drake's signatures in the hip-hop community.
Obviously, the track seems much more aimed at Big Sean than Drake. Mostly, I think people are just looking to insert Drake into any perceived rap beef that's going on.

Include any cost associated with an asset. Explanation of Total Cost of Ownership.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) method is a technique which can be used to make sure that all associated costs over a given time period are considered when you are acquiring an asset. Some examples of assets are: a building, software or a truck. TCO can be described as all costs of owning and operating an asset over time. TCO does not only reflect the costs of purchase. It also includes all other aspects in the further use and maintenance of the asset.
TCO was originally developed in the late 1980s by research company Gartner to determine the cost of owning and deploying personal computers. Their initial findings were that PCs cost an enterprise nearly $10,000 per year. At that time this caused an upheaval among financial managers and IT directors.
There is no broad accepted formula for TCO. The main thought behind is that you need to consider all relevant costs which are related to an asset. The following list contains typical cost elements of Total Cost of Ownership. Purchase price. Installation costs. Financing costs. Commissioning costs. Energy costs. Repair costs. Upgrade costs. Conversion costs. Training costs. Support costs. Service costs. Maintenance costs. Downtime costs. Safety costs. Productivity costs. Risk costs. Disposal costs. Which factors should you use? This depends upon the industry where the asset will be used and the characteristics of the asset. (Software, computers, buildings, automobiles, equipment, plants, etc).
Any purchase of a significant asset, that needs a comprehensive analysis of long-term effects and hidden costs.
Obviously it is sensible to consider ALL costs when an asset is acquired.
TCO is a long-term measure, and reduces the total costs over time.
The effort that is needed to do a TCO analysis.
Performing a TCO analysis has itself a cost.
TCO does not offer help for the valuation of intangible assets.
Sometimes it can be difficult to determine whether, and to what extent, certain costs must be allocated to an asset.
Because TCO is a long-term measure, it reduces costs over time. If you have to cut cost immediately, TCO is not very useful.
Generally, TCO does not assess the risks that are involved with a purchase of an asset.
TCO is not very helpful to align investments with strategic goals.

a character in "Claire's Academy for the Supernatural", originally authored by IEatChildren, as played by RolePlayGateway
Name: Adam Kindley
Race: Witch
Personality: Adam is the opposite of his sister. She is outright rude, while he is outright nice. He has a great sense of humor and could make anyone laugh, which he does. He is popular among his classmates as well as some students older and younger than him. Most people prefer Adam over Khalida. He tends to be a bit overdramatic, but he has a good time doing it. He loves talking and hanging out with others.
Bio: The second Adam entered this world, his dad left. The poor boy was left with his somewhat unbearable mom and older sister, Khalida. Many times in his short life he wonders about his dad and where he is now. Also how he was. Despite no one telling him, Adam strongly believes he's dad was fun-loving, caring, left for good reason, and soon will return. The longer Adam waits the longer he fills with sadness. He doesn't talk about his dad, and kind of just bottles it up which might make him go crazy when he's older.
When he was younger he worked along side his sister doing chores. Actually, pretending to do chores. He would sit in his room reading comic books and such, not really caring that his mom would come home and yell at him. As soon as he was 7 he enrolled in the school, he came here and lemme tell you, Adam fell in love with school and the interaction he got with people.

Leo walked shakily d own the halls, his eyes looking around quickly. His parens had won a free vacation, and it was only for 2 people. Of course they wouldn't come during his last day off for the month. They still hated him for causing a flooded house, a few fires, and quite a bit of broken furniture (not all in the same day, thankfully) from his previous flip-outs when he was 4. It wasn't his fault everyone seemed to HATE his guts! Closing his eyes, Leo took a long sip from his foam cup of coffee while walking.
Bad idea.
Of course, he walked into something. Or to be more precise, someone. His coffee spilled all over the person, and he started to yell, "Nooooo!"
But it was too late, as his foam cup broke on the floor. Leo looked up at the now coffee-stained face as things began to hit him. The blond boy really messed up this time…
Quickly, Leo flipped. So much pressure! Why did this always happen to him? "Ack! A-are you okay?! Oh crud, I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" He shrieked. This was really bad. He fell to his knees and rolled up into a little ball on the floor, crying and twitching.
Glandur walked out to the courtyard with Rosaline on his back, the latter giggling with glee. The elf chuckled and the demon asked, "Can you put me down, big brother? I wanna show you something." Rosaline was helped down by Glandur, and she reached in one of her pockets of her dress. The young demon pulled something out, and handed it to Glandur.
Was that... His old handkerchief, washed to a pristine white, like new? "You gave this to me, when I was crying from that mean girl. I kept on forgetting to give it back, so here you go! I also washed and ironed it." She smiled happily as she held it towards him and Glandur looked surprised, then smiled.
"Really, for me?" Glandur asked, and looked amazed.
"Please, take it!" She smiled and Glandur nodded. Rosaline put it in his hand, and Glandur put it in his pocket.
Rosaline requested to sit with him on the bench, and they sat, Rosaline looking up at the blue sky with puffy, cotton clouds.
Getting up from under a tree in the courtyard, Nicholas walked to the cafeteria to visit his parents. They came a long way to see him, and he was maintaining a high grade in school. Nicholas knew they would be proud to see that grade, and all would be well.

Remilla stared a little dreamily out of the window of her dorm. Break passes in a flash. Not that she had anyone to visit her. She stretched her wings out behind her. Hell is definitely more exciting than this, but as long as she was in the human world, she never knew what she could find. Surprises seemed to be waiting at every corner in here, and as far as she was concerned, much more fascinating than the demon world. It was one of the reasons she had wanted to stay, anyway, despite being stuck in her eight-year-old body. She looked down at the people down below. There was a boy with golden hair. Leo? She thought, trying to place his face in her memory. She had almost read every student record she could find in the general office out of her boredom, and devoted it all to memory. Underneath the tree, there was another smaller girl and an older man. Rosaline and… Glandur. Yep, that should be about right, she decided. Not many people watching then, it was perfect for flight. She had hardly gotten a chance to stretch her wings after some parents saw her. It had been a mess to clean up. She opened the windows as wide as she could on tip-toe, before backing away to the back of the room. "And… go!" with a swish she was out of the window and into the sky, laughing with delight as she swooped over the campus. Feeling the wind under her wings was the best feeling in the world.

Coffee. That was all Modesty could smell. She has never tasted coffee before, but the smell was quite familiar. Lots of teachers and students depended on it at this school. She has yet to understand why that is. She does just fine without it. As she debated whether or not she should try some to see what all the hype was about the smell of coffee became overpowering. Modesty looked up just in time to see a small jittery boy bump right into her. His own coffee cup falling to the floor but not before spilling its contents all over Modesty.
Hot is all she thought. The coffee was hot on her face and body. Not burning hot but still hot. She clenched her fists to help take the pain away but it didn't help. The boy in front of her started to freak out. He dropped onto the floor, crying.
"Ack! A-are you okay?! Oh crud, I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"
Modesty's golden eyes grew big. She was definitely not a mean person. Quite the opposite actually. She would never hurt anyone or anything. And even if she was mean all he did was accidently spilled his coffee all over her. Modesty knew all she had to do was take a shower and change clothes. Not like he chopped off her arm, right?
"I'm okay." Modesty said," It's okay. But are you okay?" She couldn't help but giggle because of how many times she said okay. With one hand she covered her giggling mouth and the other, she outstretched her hand to offer the boy help to get up.
"What a waste." Khalida said aloud to herself. She had just witnessed two people collide into each other and spill some coffee. Khalida was a fan of coffee herself, well black coffee that is. She had a cup every morning. Her arms crossed over. If coffee hadn't been spilled she might've laughed at the two. It was pretty funny.
"What's a waste?" Adam asked. The two siblings did not hang out together often, especially not at school. The rare occurrence only happened when they were forced to be with each other. Which they had just been. Their mother had just dropped by for their last day of break to wish them luck and what not. Even though Khalida didn't show it she was still happy from seeing her mother. Adam on the other hand was kind of bored.
"Nothing." Khalida said looking away from the spilled coffee.
"I'm okay... It's okay. But are you okay?" The feminine voice said.
Leo sniffled a little. So she wasn't going to hit him, like most people did? He slowly sat up, saw the hand and took it to help himself up "I'm o-okay, I guess..." His brown eyes were still a little red from crying. "Sure you aren't gonna hit me for that?" He was used to being kicked, punched, or slapped, so it was odd that this person wasn't about to.
The 10 year old remembered the cup on the ground and reached to pick up the pieces. "Ah... Such a waste..." He muttered to himself.


The all-or-nothing trade for Amari Cooper and the change at offensive line coach did not favorably impact the Cowboys in their Nov. 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It all looked bleak, especially for Jason Garrett.
The four-game winning streak has brought expectations. The win against the Saints has some thinking bigger things than just making the playoffs. The Cowboys don't have any opponent with a winning record the rest of the way.
After the victory over the Saints, owner and general manager Jerry Jones was somewhat muted in his praise of the coach.
It's always tricky to read into Jones' words one way or the other. He backed Garrett in the difficult times at the start of the coach's career during three straight 8-8 finishes. At the start of this season, he said Garrett was not on the hot seat. Jones said after the Tennessee loss that he would not make an in-season head-coaching change.

Desertification is the process in which fertile land slowly turns into sand-filled deserts.
It's happening all around the world, and increasingly so in the United States. It's a direct result of poor environmental decisions, livestock grazing, and landowner neglect. The good news is that it's also reversible and preventable.
Allan Savory, a research biologist and President/Co-Founder of the Savory Institute, recently gave an inspirational TED talk about healing our land. His background on the subject is impressive, and should give us pause to heed his words. In the 1960's while working in Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), he came to understand what causes land degradation, and now he presents us a solution.
One of his ideas is called "Holistic planned grazing." Essentially, it's the process of moving larger herds to lands in need and planning their grazing patterns. An example he gave in his talk was of an area of land in Africa that had gone four months with just rain and no land tending. He then showed a picture of the land after four months of holistic grazing in which they increased the amount of livestock by 400% and created a grazing pattern that mimicked nature.
Savory goes on to provide further examples of his holistic grazing success, and shares how it's possible to bring this strategy to every affected area on Earth. He even suggested that restored soil could actually bring us back to pre-industrial atmospheric levels.
None of Savory's ideas are too outlandish or overly expensive. In many cases, extra livestock wouldn't even be needed to fix the land. Rather, a change in grazing patterns and other land tending is all that would be necessary.
This is less a matter of deciding whether or not we should act, and more about making an immediate action that will affect the future of our planet. Desertification is real, and it is rapidly becoming a problem of catastrophic proportions.
Thanks to Allan Savory's research, we may have a chance yet of effecting change.


But most importantly – the car has received a new engine. This is a 1.8-liter petrol turbo engine generating outstanding 188 horsepower. The new car will be available only in front-wheel version. Power plant will be combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
We remind that Haima S7 crossover is available only in the Chinese home market, since it changed its external look. So far, the new car is sold only in China, but it is likely that soon the crossover will go for sale to Russia. In 2014 it was presented in Moscow during the auto show. In the meantime, the Russian market is selling the previous Haima S7 version, presented in 2012.

Looking to IoT, team uses Wi-Fi to power a camera
Sean Kinney 2015-06-05
Sean Kinney • June 5, 2015 •	34
Prototype uses Wi-Fi for power without detracting from data throughput
With an eye on Internet of Things applications, a research team at the University of Washington Seattle's Sensor Systems Labs have developed a method to use Wi-Fi to power a camera.
The tech is called power-over-Wi-Fi and, in this use case, takes away the need to place a battery in the camera.
The broader implication for IoT, essentially connected objects and machines, is a method of energizing low-power devices without the need for a human interaction.
The camera was set up near a Wi-Fi hotspot and the ambient energy carried by Wi-Fi was gathered and stored in an internal capacitor. The camera collected enough energy to take a picture every 35 minutes.
The research team similarly demonstrated the technology using a temperature sensor.
The MIT Technology Review, in an article published this week, noted that power delivery is a significant hurdle in the development and deployment of IoT.
"One of the most significant barriers to deploying sensors, cameras, and communicators is the question of power," according to the report. "The task of fitting a security camera on an external wall or a temperature sensor in an attic immediately runs into the question of how to run a power cable to the device or to arrange for batteries to be replaced on a regular basis."
The article continued: "Great things are expected of the Internet of Things but only if engineers can solve one potential show-stopper of a question: how to power these numerous tiny machines."
The research team in Seattle, led by PhD student Vamsi Talla, found that because Wi-Fi is normally broadcast in bursts, the power supply didn't quite create enough juice for the camera.
That in mind, Talla and team configured the router to broadcast continuously on different channels, with one channel carrying the actual data generally associated with Wi-Fi use.
The researchers published their results through the Cornell University Library.
From the team's abstract: "We show that a ubiquitous piece of wireless communication infrastructure, the Wi-Fi router, can provide far field wireless power without compromising the network's communication performance."
The researchers also dropped six prototypes in homes to understand whether the power harvesting functionality would interfere with the data rates consumers are accustomed to.
"Our design can successfully deliver power via Wi-Fi in real-world network conditions," and not detract from data throughput.

An epoxy liner aids further corrosion of your epoxy lined plumbing drain and potable water lines. However, here at Nu Flow, we want to remind you to still get regular plumbing inspections and perform preventive maintenance of your new epoxy lined plumbing pipes to aid further clogs and sewer backups from restricting water flow.
What is the purpose of an epoxy liner?
The purpose of an epoxy liner is to repair and refurbish your existing drain lines without having to tear through walls, ceilings floors and landscaping in order to replace the pipes. The pipe lining process ensures that the host pipe is clean and that the pipe liner properly adheres to the host pipe in order to maximize the diameter of the drain line and prevent further corrosion.
Does an epoxy liner for plumbing pipes prevent clogs?
Epoxy pipe liners, once cured, function just like a replacement pipe. When items are rinsed down a drain or flushed down a toilet, they flow through the drain line and into the sewer. If enough grease, large food particles or items that do not belong in drain lines are sent down the drains, the pipes will clog. This means that you will still need to invest in hydro jetting drain lines on a regular basis in order to prevent clogs.
What is the maintenance of pipe liner in a Chicago building?
Your exact plumbing maintenance schedule will depend on the usage. Lightly used plumbing pipes will need less frequent cleaning than heavily used pipes, and pipes that frequently come in contact with grease, fats, oils, sodas and beer should be cleaned fairly frequently.
Commercial Buildings – Schedule inspections quarterly, providing grease and food particles are not regularly sent down the drains. If the commercial building has a food court or cafeteria, the drains connected to those sections of the building should be hydro-jetted more frequently than once a year.
Industrial Buildings – Schedule inspections quarterly. However, if chemicals, paint and other foreign objects regularly find their way down the drains, they should be inspected and hydro-jetted more often.
Large Multi-Unit Family Buildings – At least every three months, especially with large, multi-story residential buildings. Since every unit has a kitchen and a toilet that could lead to unwanted items, like grease, fat and foreign objects being rinsed and flushed down the drains, it's important to have your plumbing pipes inspected and to perform regular hydro jetting of drain lines.
Large Public Venues – At least once a month. Large public venues, like stadiums, that serve food and alcoholic beverages, especially beer, should be cleaned monthly to remove dirt, debris and grease in order to prevent clogs.
Restaurants and Food Courts – At least once a month. Restaurants and food courts should have their drains hydro-jetted every 30 days in order to prevent clogs from food and grease.Stadiums and Seasonal Venues – Before the start of the season. Seasonal venues, like stadiums, should have their drain and sewer lines hydro-jetted before the start of the season and as need throughout the season to prevent sewer and drain line backups and slow moving drains.
Here at Nu Flow, we offer high-quality, durable pipe liners that can restore your existing drain and sewer lines in order to prevent future corrosion and host pipe deterioration. This can be less costly than replacing your pipes when you factor in the costs to repair landscaping on your property and/or the finishes inside your building.
Once your pipe liner is installed, it will function just like a replacement pipe. However, it is imperative that you still schedule regular maintenance of your pipe liner to help prevent clogs and debris build-up. Depending on your building and the usage, we recommend scheduling inspections and hydro jetting drain lines every 3 to 12 months.

The Organization for World Peace is a not-for-profit organization promoting peaceful solutions to complex issues across the globe. The OWP was established in 2015 by our Founder and President, Matthew Savoy, who identified an issue in the analysis being provided by existing reporting sources – no one was providing peaceful alternatives to solving complex issues, perpetuating a system of violence, conflict and confrontation. The OWP seeks to fill this void with critical analysis and well-considered solutions to reduce conflict and promote justice. We also seek to educate our readers on complex issues and the causes of conflict. In doing so, we hope to expose readers to alternative solutions to complex issues, through which we promote peace-first thinking, rather than settling for confrontational outcomes.
The OWP is a platform for emerging experts in the field of international relations, political analysis, peacekeeping, diplomacy and development. We encourage young writers, academics, activists and professionals to contribute their own analysis to debates on complex issues, to consider the consequences of the status quo, and to imagine a better way of doing things. As a non-profit organization, we do not use any funds we receive for personal gain, nor for the economic gain of our members, and we do not intend to do so in the future. Any funds earned by, or donated to, the OWP will be used to improve the work we do, and to expand our impact.
Here at the Organization for World Peace (the OWP) we believe that Peace is Possible and we want to convince people around the world that there are alternatives to war, conflict and violence. We offer critical analysis on key issues , including peace and conflict; foreign affairs and diplomacy; human rights; and environmental degradation. In debating these issues we aim to educate and challenge dominant ways of thinking.
The OWP proposes peaceful alternatives to the status quo of war and violence, proving that there is an alternative path that leads to better, more peaceful outcomes. It is our view that global affairs are not a zero sum game, and that we can all benefit through cooperation, fairness, and peaceful relations.
We believe that a path to peace must also include a path to justice. You will therefore notice that we advocate for peaceful and collaborative solutions to complex issues, such as human rights abuses and environmental degradation.
Fundamental to the OWP's vision for world peace is the need to end warfare permanently. War is responsible for poverty, underdevelopment, and human suffering. War restricts children from receiving education, and can prevent families from obtaining food and water, forcing starvation across the globe, particularly in the Global South. War forces migrations as people have no choice but to flee their homes or perish.
Research conducted by the Institute for Economics and Peace (the IEP) in 2018 estimates that costs the global economy US$14.76 trillion in 2017 alone.1 That's 12.4% of global GDP and $1988 per person. That figure represents a major cost to society in economic terms, but it also reflects significant damage to the fabric of society, on peoples' wellbeing, and to the prospects for prosperity. These things feed into the cycle of violence and poverty. Only through justice, reconciliation and peace can we achieve true prosperity for all.
The bottom line is that war is bad for humanity. It is the goal of the Organization for World Peace to end war by educating governments and individuals as to peaceful solutions to conflict issues in an effort to attain a full commitment from governments and democratic societies to no longer consider war a viable solution. For humanity to survive, 'War Must End.'

"I know that all of you are wondering, what happened to Submersed? Well, the answers is… A lot.. This business and struggle to make it took its toll on the members… Two weeks before "Price of Fame" was slated for release, Tj, Kelan and Justin decided to move on with their lives and left SubmerseD. Garrett and I believing in "Price of Fame" made the choice to press on and see what could happen. Well, nothing happened… the single never had a chance… mind bottling… The fact is, is that a majority of our fan base is unaccounted for due to Burning, making it impossible for the labels to understand just how many people really support us out there… When it comes down to it now, SubmerseD no longer has a place on Windup's roster and will be dropped shortly… I was trying to wait until things were a little more official before an announcement but you guys and gals are smart and I felt you deserved an explanation now rather than later"
The above is what Donald Carpenter, the singer of SubmerseD put up in 2008 on their MySpace page. Some people call it a whiny rant, however the truth of the post is hidden in the words "making it impossible for the labels to understand just how many people really support" the band. Yep, while Wind Up Records focused on the old business model of CD sales or mp3 sales as a band's popularity, they ended up failing their artists. Piracy is a black hole that the record labels like to put in their financial reports back to artists that if something doesn't sell it must be piracy's fault.
Go on YouTube. The song "Never Again" has had 351,372 views. An acoustic version of the band performing "Hollow" has been viewed 178,498 times. People were listening to the band. Maybe not in the way they hoped or wanted, but they were listening.
For those people who don't know about SubmerseD. They band was signed to Wind Up Records. Mark Tremonti from Creed/Alter Bridge worked with them. Guitarist Eric Friedman was a key ingredient in the chemistry that made "In Due Time" such a good album however by the time their second album "Immortal Verses" came out, Friedman was gone and the band was dropped by Wind-Up Records after its failure.
So in 2009, Eye Empire is formed. It was a pseudo supergroup of members who had label deals with other bands. The foundations come from Dark New Day members Corey Lowery and B.C. Kochmit. Vocals came from Donald Carpenter. Drums came from a range of other musicians.
So they go the Independent route, self-releasing their music through their website in limited edition 1000 runs. That way they compile an email list of people interested in purchasing their music. YouTube became a promotional outlet. That is how I came across Eye Empire. Their clip of "I Pray" has had 147,120 views. The song "More Than Fate" has had 81,729 views on the Eye Empire VEVO account, 46,447 on the Eye Empire You Tube account, 41,694 on a user/fan account and 72,508 on the Submersed YouTube account. In total, that is 242,378 views.
The band was making inroads and I always say that success comes to the ones who outlast the competition. In this case, the version of Eye Empire that people started to adopt as the definitive band is no more. From when the release of Eye Empire's second album "Evolve" came out in October 2013 to April 2014, Donald Carpenter, the very reason why I got into the band was out. Lowery, Kochmit and Bennett said in a statement that Carpenter was trying to reassemble a former band which to me means SubmerseD. Carpenter replied with a philosophical "Starting over is always hard but it's not the first time and I am certain that it won't be the last."
The hardest part of change is actually making the decision to change. Once that decision is made then the rest is easy. In relation to Eye Empire, I can relate to the driven aspect of some members not being in sync with another band member.
In the early nineties, I was in a hard rock band that was out-of-place in the Industrial Alternative Nu-Metal wasteland between the years of 1996 and 1999. It was a three-piece band. The drummer wanted to be big as Pearl Jam but didn't have the work ethic. The bass player/singer was happy playing the club circuit week in/week out as it was a stable income.
Each three-hour gig got us $150 each. We used to play three gigs a week. So $450 in the pocket each week was a good little additional income for me on top of my normal full-time job. However, the bass player/singer and the drummer didn't have any jobs. So their cash income came on top of the unemployment benefits they received. So our lifestyles were very different. While I had a mortgage, they lived at home with their parents. So the work ethic between us was very different because of the different responsibilities we had.
I practiced my guitar playing each day. The drummer didn't even practice. The only time he played the drums was at band practice and then live. The bass player always started the jam sessions/live performances sober and by the end was getting pretty tipsy. So again, the drive between us as musicians was different.
I was married and looking to start a family. The drummer was single, in and out of relationships. The singer was separated and had two kids to two different woman. So our personal lives brought different responsibilities to the table.
The song writing was like this. If I wrote a song, I would bring it in complete, with music and lyrics. If the bass player/singer wrote a song, he would bring it in complete. And we jammed them without any questions. So you can see where the arguments would come from later on.
And you get this in bands.
The different work ethics, the different drive of the individuals and the different expectations that they place on each other and the band.
And I am thinking that Carpenter's definition of success and fame is over exaggerated or over inflated.
Shinedown is one of the biggest rock bands right now and they play two to five thousand seat arenas. Is that a bad thing. Of course not. Maybe if Donald Carpenter was the lead singer it would be a bad thing.
So what about the songs on "Evolve"?
"Beyond The Stars" and "Live Loud" are real good songs. The stand outs by far. "Within" is a good merge of their Sevendust influence along with Muse. "The War Isn't Over Yet" is an aggressive piece of music. "The Man I Am" is very reminiscent to what Donald Carpenter did with SubmerseD and to be honest it brings back a memory of Deep Purple "Soldier Of Fortune" for some reason. "Don't Look Back" is reminiscent of "Animosity" era Sevendust. Another quality track.
The other half of the album borders too much on Sevendust. Which is a shame as the potential is there, however it will remain unfulfilled.

Mention the name Glenn Hughes to a lot of people and you will get a different answer each time as to who he is. Some don't know of him, some mistake him with a sporting identity, some get it right and some just get it so wrong. However, if you are a fan of music, there is a pretty good chance that you would have come across the works of Glenn Hughes.
Especially the melodic AOR rock style of Glenn Hughes.
This primer course is based on showing a few of the big songs Glenn Hughes was involved in and then it moves over to that fertile Nineties post addiction period that was more or less ignored due to the musical landscape. However by no means is the list complete.
Released in 1974.
I found out about the "Burn" album by back tracking the origins of David Coverdale after the Whitesnake album from 1987 exploded. Yep, in 1987, I had no idea that David Coverdale was in Deep Purple. Actually the only Deep Purple song I knew at that stage was "Smoke On The Water" and that is because Triple M, the local rock radio station played it to death. For kids that grew up with Google, guess what it didn't exist back then.
So it was harder to find out information about our favourite artists. Not impossible, just harder.
This meant purchasing expensive U.S magazines and reading the interviews and the reviews. Or if I didn't have the money it meant grabbing the magazine at the newsagency and reading it there, much to the disgust of the newsagency owner.
He was a Portuguese fellow and he saw me that many times in his shop that he eventually started mentioning to me when the latest, "Hit Parader" or "Circus" or "Faces" or "Metal Mania" or "RIP" or "Metal Edge" was in.
Then he told me a little important secret about the newsagency business. That whatever doesn't sell for the month, he returns back to the publishers. So he said that he will give me the magazines that I like then albeit with the front cover desecrated.
"Burn" was also my first introduction to Glenn Hughes. It was an immediate hit for me.
The song is credited to Ritchie Blackmore, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Jon Lord and Ian Paice and you can hear the jam ethos throughout it. The performances are all top notch and the song showcases all of the members' abilities.
There is also a version of Glenn Hughes singing it from start to finish that appeared on his solo album, "From Now On…" as a bonus track.
"When Love Finds a Fool"
It is a co-write between Glenn Hughes and Don Dokken and it was on the Don Dokken "Up From The Ashes" solo album that was released in 1990 on the Geffen label. There was a lot of money spent on that album by the Geffen company, however the interest in Don Dokken's career was already dwindling down to just the hard core fans only.
On the Don Dokken recorded version, Hughes provides backing vocals only. It was the first song I clicked play on when I got home due to the Glenn Hughes writing credit.
And I loved it. To paraphrase like Yoda "A ballad it was" however it was delivered with a passion that was undeniable.
It's written by Glenn Hughes and Swedish guitarist Eric Bojfeldt and produced by Bruce Gowdy.
The song appeared on Hughes's solo album titled "From Now On…" released in 1994. The album is a favourite of mine and the album has a well-rounded, polished and melodic AOR sound. And what a backing band.
Hughes was supported by a band of Swedish musicians including Europe members John Levén, Mic Michaeli and Ian Haugland as well as guitarists Thomas Larsson and Eric Bojfeldt.
Let the Viking invasion begin. Max Martin might get all the press for his pop songs, however the Swedes always had great musicians and songwriters.
"Crying For Love"
A brilliant ballad that appeared on the 1996 album "No Strings Attached" by the band Liesegang. Actually Liesegang is guitarist Bill Liesegang and his roots go back to the early Eighties NWOBHM movement and the band Xero. Actually his roots go back even further, to 1969, when he was asked to join David Bowie's band.
Liesegang is renowned for being a guitarist that was doing all the guitar theatrics in the late Seventies that Steve Vai and Joe Satriani became famous for years later.
"Still The Night"
It's history goes back to 1982. Originally planned for the second Hughes/Thrall album, the song ended up appearing on several other releases. It was recorded by the super group "Phenomena" project in 1984.
The version that I like is the John Norum version that appeared on Norum's solo album, "Face The Truth" in 1992.
The song is written by Glenn Hughes, Pat Thrall and Paul Delph (RIP). Paul Delph was another talent who worked with an eclectic bunch of musicians before his death from HIV/AIDS complications.
"The Look In Your Eye"
It appeared on the "Hughes/Thrall" album released in 1982. The vocal is the starring element. How good is the pre chorus and then the falsetto melodies in the chorus.
"I don't need anybody else
To try to run my life
I don't need the way they try
To tell me what they think is right
We don't need anybody else
To take what's yours and mine
It's just a waste of time"
I didn't hear this album until a decade later. Because I didn't get into the whole Grunge and Alternative scene. What I did do is get into purchasing records from second-hand Record Shops and the Hughes/Thrall album was one such gem. It is definitely a hidden gem of melodic hard rock.
Pat Thrall is a very underrated guitarist. A craftsmen who understands what the song needs and plays to suit.
It appeared on the "Phenomena II – Dream Runner" album from 1987. Music and Lyrics came from Mel Galley. Actually Phenomena is a super group formed by record producer Tom Galley, Metal Hammer magazine founder Wilfried Rimensberger] and Tom's brother, ex-Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley who played with Glenn Hughes in Trapeze and on Hughes's Seventies solo album.
What a super group line up for the recording of Surrender.
Vocals – Glenn Hughes
Guitars – Mel Galley
Keyboards – Leif Johansen
Bass – Neil Murray
Drums – Michael Sturgis
It is one of my favourite cuts.
It's from John Norum's solo album of the same name released in 1992 and the he song is written by Glenn Hughes and John Norum. For those that don't know, John Norum was the original guitarist in the band "Europe" and played on their first three albums including the mega one, "The Final Countdown". He is also in the film clip? Then he was replaced by Kee Marcello for the tour, and the two follow-up albums that came in "Out Of This World" and "Prisoners In Paradise". He is back as the guitarist of Europe when they reformed back in 2004.
How good is that guitar riff?
It just rocks and rolls the song to glory. If you have listened to early Europe, you will hear that "Euro-Metal Sound" that John Norum is famous for.
The song is a melodic rock gem and it is post the excellent work that Norum did with Don Dokken on the "Up From The Ashes" solo project.
"You Keep On Movin"
It goes back to 1975 and the "Come Taste The Band" era of Deep Purple with another guitarist that departed way too young. Tommy Bolin. Now that was another talent that is no more. Tommy Bolin and Paul Kossoff are my two heroes. Guitarists that just wanted to jam and play.
The song is actually written by David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. The version that I was listening to is from the 1994 solo album "From Now On….".
This is what we've lost in the transition from capturing spontaneous creations to capturing well thought out and analysed rewritten over and over again creations. That effortless feel in a song as it builds to a crescendo.
"So Much Love To Give"
Very Hendrix like and that is not surprising at all when you see that Hendrix devotee Craig Erickson is the guitarist and the songwriter.
It's up there in the blues rock vibe of "Mistreated" from the Coverdale/Hughes era of Deep Purple.
It's a Glenn Hughes and Craig Erickson composition.
Actually Craig Erickson is a very underrated guitarist in the blues rock genre.
The song was released on Hughes's first solo album titled "L.A. Blues Authority II: Glenn Hughes – Blues" after he kicked his drug habits in 1991 and it is another all-star line up of musician friends that assist in the album's creation. As Glenn once stated it was his first album since finding his higher power. And of course it was Mike Varney who got the project rolling. For those that don't know, Shrapnel Records was founded in 1980 by Mike Varney.
And Shrapnel was different from all of the other labels because it focused on bands featuring guitarists of extraordinary ability and it was the main label leading the neo-classical shred movement.
If it wasn't for Shrapnel Records artists like Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Tony MacAlpine and Vinnie Moore would have either not been identified or taken longer to identify.
"King Of The Western World"
It is the opening track on the 1996 Liesegang album "No Strings Attached" that also has the excellent "Crying For Love" that I mentioned above.
It's the GUITAR!
The Steve Stevens inspired "Atomic Playboys" riff that kicks it off. Talk about a riff!
Then it goes into a Journey style verse. For those that don't know Bill Liesegang, make sure you check him out. Another underrated musician and songwriter.
"Not Necessary Evil" and "Cry Of The Brave"
Both of these songs appear on "Sacred Groove" the first solo album from George Lynch released in 1993. As a fan of George Lynch, I really enjoyed these little gems.
Glenn Hughes came into the Lynch stratosphere back when Glenn Hughes was hired to sing on the demos that would become the self-titled Lynch Mob album, released in 1992. The album features the vocals of Robert Mason who legend has it, had Glenn Hughes teaching him how to sing the songs.
There are just so many connections and relationships in the career of Glenn Hughes. And really, that is what having a music career is all about.
Building connections and fostering relationships.
Just look at the body of work that I have mentioned so far and all the different musicians that have been involved with it. How many musicians in the last 10 years have achieved anything close to those relationships?
It's all about the band they are in and just that band. God forbid if someone tried to jam with another band. That would be cause for instant dismissal.
Mike Portnoy comes to mind as the only musician that is putting his name out there on different styles of music and with different musicians.
It's the opening track from the "Amen" album by Manfred Ehlert. Written and arranged by Ehlert it is Glenn's vocal performance that brings the song home.
There is a keyboard riff there that reminds me of "The Final Countdown" from Europe.
The song is written by Tom Galley, Richard Bailey and Mel Galley, but it is the vocal performance by Glenn Hughes that knocks it out of the ball park.
Mel Galley is another guitarist that deserves more attention for his work output. Maybe not having the look of a glam rocker hurt his career in the Eighties, but there is no denying the work that he did with Trapeze, Whitesnake and Phenomena.
This song appeared on the supergroup "Phenomena" project in 1984.
"Lay My Body Down"
It is written by Glenn Hughes and virtuoso guitarist Thomas Larsson.
Another musician from Sweden and the land of the midnight sun. It is a musical Viking conquest.
The song appeared on Hughes's solo album titled "From Now On…" released in 1994.
It is from the 1992 John Norum solo album "Face The Truth".
It is a song written by a super group committee. The writers are Glenn Hughes, John Norum and Peter Baltes from Accept fame, who along with John Norum just finished a stint with Don Dokken.
One thing that is clear is the many relationships that Glenn Hughes as formed. Music is a common language for all walks of life and there is no greater ambassador than Glenn Hughes.

I am finally hearing this album today. Rain is a "supergroup" of European melodic rock/metal bands with Michael Bormann on vocals. It's hit and miss as it tries to capture the arena rock spirit of 1986.

BlackRock urges investors to rethink climate risk vulnerability
Open-access content Friday 5th April 2019 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020
Investors are consistently underpricing the potential impacts of climate change on their assets, and need to reassess their vulnerability to an increasing number of risks.
That is according to a report published yesterday by BlackRock, which said it is unclear how investors incorporate climate risks like rising sea levels into their analysis.
In an "important next step" for investors, BlackRock leveraged 160 terabytes of data using new tools to demonstrate the potential impact on different asset classes.
For example, it found that New York City is facing rising sea levels of up to three feet by the end of the century, exposing more than $70bn (£53.5bn) of property to potential losses.
"Advances in data sciences allowed us to more precisely assess the investment implications of climate-related risks," said Brian Deese, BlackRock global head of sustainable investing.
"Asset-level analysis is key for investors. The risks posed by more frequent and severe weather are not fully reflected in the price of many assets, including US utility equities."
BlackRock said investors in utility stocks are quick to sell out of these names following an extreme weather event, with stocks down 1.5% on average over the ensuing 40 days.
However, these stocks recover quickly while the true economic losses are still being calculated, suggesting that investors are focused on headline risk rather than climate risks.
The world's largest asset manager also predicted that a rising share of municipal bond issuance is set to come from regions facing climate-related economic losses.
It expects more than 15% of the current US S&P National Municipal Bond Index to compromise of highly populated metropolitan statistical areas within a decade.
These are likely to suffer average annualised climate-related economic losses of up to 1% of GDP during that time, with 58% of metropolitan areas set to suffer similar losses by 2080.
ClientEarth climate lawyer Joanne Etherton said: "BlackRock's recognition of the scale of climate-related financial risks facing the economy today should be a thunderbolt for investors.
"Investors who fail to heed the warning may be exposing themselves to lawsuits."

Samuel Lynne Galleries Presents: Will Von Bolton Collection  2  AF
Samuel Lynne Galleries
Saturday, 19 March 2022 - 6:00pm
Dallas-based photographer, Will von Bolton, will host a showcase of his photography work spanning through 15 years of his career.
The exhibition will feature music photographs of Leon Bridges, Jesse McCartney, Paul Cauthen, Ross Lynch, Minxie Mimieux, and Bolton's anonymous nude project called "DONTSHOOTMYFACE". In addition to this, he will perform a Live photoshoot with Roxanna Redfoot, which will be sponsored by Innovation Villas. Open to the public and sponsored by Roxor Gin
Will von Bolton grew up in Belton, Texas, and moved to Dallas in 2001 after he began playing drums in a band. After he realized he loved music culture, but not performing, Bolton began photographing friends in his studio and started touring in 2009. Bolton has toured 38 countries and has worked with Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights, R5, Jesse McCartney, Bowling for Soup, Electric Touch, Blue October, The Roomsounds, Paul Cauthen, Leon Bridges, Gary Clark Jr., and many others.
Bolton specializes in capturing human interaction, intimate portraits, storytelling, and documenting people from all walks of life. His main goal is to be able to inspire or help others as he pursues the potential of photography and the journey of Becoming Conscious.
Known also for his artistic and bold nude photography, Bolton's work stands out by the unique relationships the photographer develops with his subjects and the "phototherapy" approach of all of his shoots.
"I have always felt I had an eye for photography and began professionally shooting with a publishing company when I was 21," says Bolton. "My transition into photography from music felt easy, as I took pictures of my friends. The next thing I know it is 15 years later, and I have a collection of extraordinary life experiences because of the camera."
