217 – 1871 Firestorm: Ghosts, Comets, and the Virgin Mary
October 9, 2018 Mike Huberty	2 Comments
On October 8th, 1871 the deadliest fire disaster in American history struck Peshtigo, Wisconsin, a small town up north past Green Bay and almost to Upper Michigan. Estimates of casualties ran from over a thousand people to up to twenty-five hundred lost lives. People talk about the firestorm that blew through the town, a "tornado of flames" as they jumped into the river to escape the blaze. Not much of a respite as many then developed hypothermia from the cold water. It was a nightmarish hellscape as fire clouds filled the sky and the heat was so massive that it created its own wind, spreading the inferno further and further. Too many bodies were burned beyond recognition and of the corpses they could find, many couldn't be identified because the only other people that could identify them were the other bodies. It was an incredible tragedy that was overshadowed in the news by another famous tragedy that happened that night, The Great Chicago Fire.

That's right, two famous fires occurred on the same night. And it wasn't just those, several towns in Michigan experienced incredible fires that night as well. The entire town of Holland (where I spent a very formative summer before Seventh Grade) burned down as did Port Huron. So, what happened that night that so many fires occurred at once?
Well, no cause of the fires has been confirmed for sure, but scientists believe that it was because it was such a dry summer in the Upper Midwest (there was only a quarter of the amount of the average amount of rainfall and Chicago itself only got one inch between the 4th of July and the night of the blaze) the towns were ripe for it. Fires had already been burning near Peshtigo as they were clearing land (the literal slash n' burn technique) for farming and development that summer, so much so that a lighthouse near Green Bay was on twenty four hours a day that summer. In Chicago, they famously blamed Mrs. O'Leary because the fire started near her farm, and the legend was that she was milking a cow when he kicked over a lantern and started the barn on fire.
Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicking over the lantern
As early as 1883, Igantius Donnelly, a Minnesota politician proposed in his book, Ragnarok: The Age of Fire And Gravel, suggested that it was a meteor storm as Earth was passing through the remnants of Comet Biela. A comet discovered in 1826 that was supposed to be appear in 1872 and didn't, leading him to speculate that we passed through the meteor shower of the comet's debris and those meteors started the fire. Although, since the year before Ignatius also wrote a book on Atlantis that basically formed the modern narrative popularized by Edgar Cayce, his theory is still a little bit controversial to say the least.
But that's merely one of the weird stories that came out of the 1871 firestorm. From the shadow figures people see on the streets of Peshtigo to the only apparition of the Virgin Mary officially recognized by the Catholic Church. This tragedy might be the most paranormal natural disaster we've ever seen.
Scott Markus from WhatsYourGhostStory.com and author of Voices From The Chicago Grave joins Wendy and I for this episode as we tell ghost stories of the great fires of 1871. Here's some of the highlights:
Why scientists believe that the Biela's Comet Theory is hogwash
The tragic ghost of the Chicago Water Tower
How Mrs. O'Leary was officially exonerated by the city of Chicago
Haunted EVPs from the Peshtigo Fire Museum and Cemetery
How the Virgin Mary saved a congregation from the Great Peshtigo Fire
For the song this week, we thought it would be cool to learn one of the most popular songs of 1871. Not only because it's a fun challenge, but also because we want to play this song and some other contemporary music when we do our own investigation of the sites of the Great 1871 Firestorm. We'd love to stir up an EVP or some ghostly activity by playing a song that the spirits know. So, we decided on a William Shakespeare Hays song that sold over a million copies of sheet music in 1871. That's like going platinum way before platinum existed! Here is the Sunspot version of "Mollie Darling".
Won't you tell me Mollie darling, that you love none else but me
For I love you Mollie darling, you are all the world to me
Oh tell me darling that you love me, put your little hand in mine
Take my heart sweet Mollie darling, say that you will give me thine.
Molly fairest sweetest dearest, look up darling tell me this
Do you love me Mollie darling? Let your answer be a kiss.
Stars are smiling Mollie darling, through the mystic veil of nightF
They seem laughing Mollie darling, while fair Luna hides her light
Oh no one listens but the flowers, while they hang their heads in shame
They are modest Mollie darling, when they hear me call your name
Mollie fairest, sweetest, dearest, look up darling tell me this

TORONTO, ON – On Saturday, September 23, 2017, after a five year hiatus, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (CSHF) Induction ceremony returns with four incredible inductees, Beau Dommage, Bruce Cockburn, Neil Young, and Stéphane Venne, at Toronto's iconic Massey Hall . The bilingual ceremony presented by Richardson GMP, will feature remarkable tributes and performances from sought after Canadian artists including, Arkells, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Damien Robitaille, Daniel Lavoie, Don Ross, Élage Diouf, France D'amour, Florence K, Julie Payette, k.d. lang, Randy Bachman, William Prince and Whitehorse with special surprise artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
Fans can expect an exhilarating live show with breath-taking music, moving stories and stunning visuals. Tickets will be available to the public on Friday, May 19 starting at 10:00 a.m. via www.cshfinduction.ca and www.masseyhall.com.
Multi-platinum selling rock band Beau Dommage consisting of members Marie-Michèle Desrosiers, Michel Rivard, Pierre Huet, Robert Léger, Pierre Bertrand, Michel Hinton, and Réal Desrosiers, broke sales records with their self-titled debut album in 1974. Their second album, Où est passée la noce?, went platinum on the first day of sales. Beau Dommage went on to be the first group to receive the Medal of Honour at the National Assembly of Quebec and in 2013 they were chosen by Canada Post to be depicted on their own stamp.
Bruce Cockburn's illustrious career has spanned over five decades. Cockburn has deftly captured the joy, pain, fear, and faith of human experience in song, earning him 12 JUNO Awards, a Governor General's Performing Arts Award, an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and has been named an Officer of the Order of Canada.
"I'm honoured and deeply gratified to have the recognition of my work expressed by my being inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. It's a gas!" said Bruce Cockburn.
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Neil Young is one of the most influential and idiosyncratic singer-songwriters of his generation. From the beginning of his solo career in the late '60s through to the 21st century, he has never stopped writing, recording, and performing. The multi-platinum GRAMMY Award-winning artist has been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and was honoured as an Officer of the Order of Canada.
Acclaimed songwriter, arranger, and producer Stéphane Venne has written over 400 songs (words and music) to date. Twenty of his works charted at number one and are currently among the SOCAN Classics for accumulating over 25,000 radio plays.
"Beyond the ultimate compliment of being inducted in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, I would like to make a wish. I have, for the vast majority of my career, been a writer and composer, with basically no exposure as an artist. I hope my experience can be an inspiration for those who like me, that have something special to contribute thanks to their writing and nothing but their writing," said Stéphane Venne.
For more information and to purchase tickets visit: www.cshfinduction.ca or www.massyhall.com.
The CSHF is also pleased to acknowledge this year's event sponsors, ole, SOCAN Foundation, CBC Music, ICI Musique, SOCAN and Gowling WLG along with the Province of Quebec, Quebecor and Boucher Guitars.

Inheritance and distribution of the estate
He built an apartment over his father's house with his own money; do the heirs have any right to it?
Publication : 20-03-2013
My father died in 1991 and left behind a house composed of three floors and a tailor's shop. I have a brother, three sisters and my mother. My father promised the third floor to my brother and he promised the shop to me, but these words were not written down. I came out of the Army in 1992 and I had some money, approximately 10,000 pounds, with which I built an apartment on the fourth floor, and I helped my sisters to finish their education and get married. My mother and one of my sisters help me in the shop by making buttonholes, sewing on buttons and so on. My question is: how should the estate be divided, based on the above information
Praise be to Allah.
Fathers are obliged to treat their children fairly in terms of giving gifts; it is haraam for a father to show preference to one of his children in any way. Based on that, it would not be permissible to fulfil the promise that he made to you and your brother if he were alive. As he has died, what is required is to divide the estate according to the shares stipulated in sharee'ah. The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:
Is it permissible for a father to register a piece of farmland in the name of one of his sons and ignore the rest of his children? My father registered a piece of farmland in my name and ignored my sister and little brother. Should I sponsor these children or ignore them?
They replied:
The father is obliged to treat his children equally in terms of giving gifts, in accordance with the shar'i guidelines on inheritance. It is not permissible for him to single out some of them and not others, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade that. It was narrated from an-Nu'maan ibn Basheer (may Allah be pleased with him) that his father brought him to the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and said: I have given this son of mine a slave I owned. He said: "Have you given a similar gift to all your children?" He said: No. He said: "Then take it back." Agreed upon.
Based on that: your father must be fair in the gifts that he has given to some of his children by giving each of his children something like that which he gave to the one mentioned, or else he should take back the gift from him. As your father has died, you should divide the estate between you and the rest of the heirs in accordance with the shar'i ruling.
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz, Shaykh 'Abdullah ibn Ghadyaan. Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh, Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 16/216
For more information, please see question no. 114659
With regard to the apartment that you built with your own money, it belongs to you and the heirs have no right to it. When the estate is divided, this apartment should be evaluated on the basis that it is a separate apartment, with no share of the value of the land, and is your property. In other words, experts should work out the value of this structure without including any part of the value of the land on which it is built.
For more information, please see the answer to question no. 131901
And Allah knows best.

The Limitations of Privacy Rights
Paper by Daniel J. Solove: "Individual privacy rights are often at the heart of information privacy and data protection laws. The most comprehensive set of rights, from the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), includes the right to access, right to rectification (correction), right to erasure, right to restriction, right to data portability, right to object, and right to not be subject to automated decisions. Privacy laws around the world include many of these rights in various forms.
In this article, I contend that although rights are an important component of privacy regulation, rights are often asked to do far more work than they are capable of doing. Rights can only give individuals a small amount of power. Ultimately, rights are at most capable of being a supporting actor, a small component of a much larger architecture. I advance three reasons why rights cannot serve as the bulwark of privacy protection. First, rights put too much onus on individuals when many privacy problems are systematic. Second, individuals lack the time and expertise to make difficult decisions about privacy, and rights cannot practically be exercised at scale with the number of organizations than process people's data. Third, privacy cannot be protected by focusing solely on the atomistic individual. The personal data of many people is interrelated, and people's decisions about their own data have implications for the privacy of other people.
The main goal of providing privacy rights aims to provide individuals with control over their personal data. However, effective privacy protection involves not just facilitating individual control, but also bringing the collection, processing, and transfer of personal data under control. Privacy rights are not designed to achieve the latter goal; and they fail at the former goal.
After discussing these overarching reasons why rights are insufficient for the oversized role they currently play in privacy regulation, I discuss the common privacy rights and why each falls short of providing significant privacy protection. For each right, I propose broader structural measures that can achieve its underlying goals in a more systematic, rigorous, and less haphazard way…(More)".

Q: Printing unicode in R with windows7 I'm trying to understand the vagaries of printing unicode in R in a windows 7 environment. I'm trying to include a unicode character in a dataframe so that I can get the ≥ symbol in plots and in csv exports.
Using RStudio, I can do
require(dplyr)
require(ggplot2)

test <- data.frame(x = c(1,2,3), y = c(4,5,6), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
test
test <- test %>% mutate(x2 = ifelse(x == 1, "1 day",
                                    ifelse(x == 2, "2 days",
                                           ifelse(x >= 3, "\u2265 3 days", NA))))
test

  x y       x2
1 1 4    1 day
2 2 5   2 days
3 3 6 = 3 days

However, if I do
table(test$x2)

I get
≥ 3 days    1 day   2 days
       1        1        1

When I try to export the dataframe to csv, the ≥ symbol is rendered as = when viewing with Excel.
I also want to plot my data in ggplot, with the ≥ symbol as a label. Unfortunately, when I do
ggplot(test, aes(x=x2, y=y)) + geom_point()

The symbol prints as '= 3 days' rather than '≥ 3 days'. I understand that I can successfully specify
+ scale_x_discrete(labels=c("\U2265 3 days", "1 day", "2 days"))

And the symbol will print successfully, but I'd much rather draw the label from the dataframe itself.
I have 3 questions

*

*How can I get the ≥ symbol to print in ggplot using entries from a dataframe?

*How can I export a dataframe to csv and retain the desired ≥ symbol, rather than it degrading to '='?

*What have I failed to understand about printing unicode in windows? (optional, potentially a lot.)

I understand that these problems don't arise in mac or linux, but unfortunately at work these are not options.

When Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross decided to put together an "advisory committee" to help improve the team's locker-room environment in the wake of the Richie Incognito/Jonathan Martin fiasco, one appointee seemed almost like a given: former Indianapolis Colts coach and current NBC football commentator Tony Dungy. If there's trouble brewing in the NFL, call Dungy to fix things up.
How did Dungy become the NFL's moral compass? It started with Michael Vick. Dungy, an evangelical Christian, turned to prison ministry after leaving coaching in 2008, and became a mentor to Vick while the quarterback was serving his dogfighting sentence in Leavenworth. Vick has credited Dungy with his rehabilitation, and Dungy's stamp helped Vick get back in the game. In late 2009, the NFL appointed Dungy to lead a new "player advisory forum" to improve communication between the NFL and its players.
Not everyone agrees with Dungy's views. He did not curse while he coached, and criticized New York Jets coach Rex Ryan for exposing his potty mouth to the masses during the 2010 edition of Hard Knocks, the popular HBO program that documents NFL training camps. "I'm disappointed with all the profanity," Dungy said on Dan Patrick's radio show. "I think Rex can make his points without all that … If I were in charge, I wouldn't hire someone like that." Ryan wasn't happy, and said Dungy "unfairly judged" him.
Dungy's motivations may be sincere. But once you become the default moral voice for an entire industry, a certain amount of eye rolling is inevitable when you're tapped to solve a problem. And it's fair to wonder: Is Ross tapping Dungy for good PR?

Exponential technologies are colliding into each other, reinventing products, services and industries.
Over the course of this 5-blog series, I'm going to summarize key insights from my annual CEO Summit called Abundance360 that takes place every January in Beverly Hills. We'll look at 3D Printing, AI, Energy & Transportation, VR/AR, and Blockchain.
In summary, 3D printing (additive or augmented manufacturing) translates digital files into three-dimensional objects by layering material in a process known as additive manufacturing.
Printheads release matter in precise orientations that can produce complex structures, ranging from jewelry to three-story homes.
90% Material Efficient: Beyond rapid and high-resolution production, additive manufacturing poses extraordinary second-order implications. Promising decimated economic and environmental costs, 3D printing eliminates tremendous amounts of waste, as raw material requirements are reduced by as much as 90 percent.
3D printing further unlocks opportunities for mass customization, democratized production, and systematic perfection.
My friend Avi Reichental is my "go-to expert" in augmented manufacturing and the Founder and CEO of XponentialWorks, an advisory, venture investment and incubation ecosystem company that aims to monetize exponential tech innovation and business model disruption.
For 12 years, Reichental served as the CEO of 3D Systems, the largest publicly traded 3D printing company in the world. An early additive manufacturing pioneer, he is also part of the core faculty at Singularity University.
50 percent of all consumer businesses will have revenue-bearing 3D printing operations.
But it doesn't stop there. Already, major international breakthroughs in additive manufacturing are accelerating these trends and birthing new convergent applications.
3D printing speeds are slated to increase by 50X - 100X.
3D printing rates have typically been limited by (1) how much force a printhead can apply, (2) how fast a printer can heat the material to induce flow, and (3) how quickly the printhead itself can move. In a new feat, however, the MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity recently created a printer 10 times faster than traditional desktop models and three times faster than a $100,000 industrial-scale system. Achieving record speeds, the MIT team printed a helical bevel gear in a mere 10 minutes, and a pair of eyeglass frames in only 3.6. The acceleration of 3D printing will revolutionize nearly every industry, from retail to manufacturing.
Sustainable, affordable, 3D-printed neighborhoods are launching.
The construction and real estate industries will experience disruption at monumental scales, as 3D-printed homes offer cheaper, environmentally-friendly alternatives to traditional housing. 3D-printed homes appeared for the first time last year in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, where a shortage of bricklayers increased the demand for this technology. The futuristic buildings waste less cement, cutting costs and resources. In the future, home printers will incorporate infrastructure including drainage pipes and even potentially smart sensors, rendering a fully integrated living experience. And more recently, a startup called NewStory was able to build 100 homes in 8 months for about $6,000 each.
Convincing and delicious 3D-printed steaks and burgers in fine restaurants on Earth and in space.
3D-printed meat using plant-based proteins will provide a more sustainable solution to feeding the world's growing population. Livestock produces 14.5 to 18 percent of global human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. Yet 3D-printed meat can provide the same satisfaction of meat consumption without the harmful environmental effects. Over the next five years, costs will lower and textures will improve. Israeli company Chef-it and Giuseppe Scionti's NovaMeat are already making progress.
Metal 3D printers will overtake plastics.
Prepare for the emergence of 3D-printed jewelry, car and airplane parts, kitchenware, and prototypes. 3D metal printers will not only eliminate waste in manufacturing, but also create more lightweight parts — a development especially pertinent to aircraft construction. This technology will grow increasingly available at the consumer level as well, providing more flexibility in product design than traditional plastic printers. Biodegradable cellulose may also overcome plastics in 3D printers of the future, as the MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity has demonstrated with its 3D-printed antimicrobial surgical forceps. The mechanically robust, chemically versatile material is just one example of the endless possibilities of 3D-printed materials beyond plastics.
"Hey" will be the most frequently used command in design engineering.
As new methods and materials continue to spring up, how will you integrate 3D printing into your own business in the coming years? What new ventures will you build around these emerging applications?
Keep these thoughts in mind as we explore AI in the coming weeks, another catalyzing technology that will only enhance the "Hey" demand functionality of 3D printers and many more devices.
Convergence leads us to transformative breakthroughs… and the human brain still beats computers when it comes to drawing these sorts of connections. Leverage that power, and what else becomes possible?

While most dermatologists and doctors preach the benefits of drinking more water, water gets boring.
Perhaps you've done just about everything to make your plain glass of water more enjoyable. If you're running out of ideas and are tempted to reach for a caffeinated beverage you're not alone.
Top experts suggest the following six fresh infused water recipes that pack a punch of flavor and add health and beauty benefits to your H2O.
If you're new to infused water it's easy. Chop up the ingredients, let them sit overnight in your water pitcher, and sip your way to healthy hydration inside and out.
This combo might seem weird, but adding the health benefits of ginger and the antioxidant power of mangoes is a surprisingly tasty mix. "Mangoes contain so many vitamins that help boost your immune system. It has antioxidants that maintain youthful glowing skin and aid in the production of blood cells," says Dr. Christopher Calapai DO, an anti-aging expert and long-time health advisor to the New York Rangers hockey team. "Ginger is also helpful in fighting infection, has been linked to lower cholesterol levels, may reduce muscle aches, and helps digestion," adds Dr. Calapai.
Recently, rosemary was found to be the main ingredient eaten by residents of an Italian village with one of the highest populations of people who live past 100 years old. "Rosemary improves circulation and sends more blood to the brain which is linked to greater concentration and potentially reduces risk of Alzheimer's," says Dr. Calapai. Grapefruit is not only delicious but it's a natural fat burner, boosts metabolism and cleanses your liver.
Pick your favorite citrus fruits, cut up into slices and add some crushed mint. "Adding mint to your water is not only extra refreshing but also improves digestive health and can speed up your metabolism," says Dr. Calapai. "Mint actually contains salicylic acid, a potent acne fighter," says Dr. Papantoniou. "It's also well known for its anti-inflammatory properties which work to calm irritation both on your skin or internally," she adds.
"The reason so many spas use cucumber based treatments is because it contains many skin friendly minerals like magnesium, potassium and silicon," says Dr. Papantoniou. "This mix is especially healthy," says Dr. Calapai "Cucumbers are powerful detoxifiers, flushing out any waste in your system. Adding crushed lavender to the mix not only adds a beautiful aroma but can also help digestion as lavender contains polyphenols that reduce bad bacteria in your gut, making your system run smoother," he explains.
Clearly there are benefits to keeping hydrated. Water does not have to be boring, it can be delicious. Drink up!
Dr. Christopher Calapai, DO, is an Osteopathic Physician board certified in family medicine, anti-aging medicine and chelation therapy. Proclaimed as the "The Stem Cell Guru" by the New York Daily News, Dr. Calapai is a leader in the field of stem cell therapy in the U.S.
His stem cell treatments have achieved remarkable results in clinical trials on patients with conditions as varied as Alzheimer's, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, frailty syndrome, heart, kidney and liver failure, lupus, MS and Parkinson's.
Dr. Calapai started his practice in New York City in 1986 and for over 25 years he has hosted nationally syndicated radio shows, including his two weekly call-in shows on WABC 770-AM, where he offers health and medical advice. He has a show on Saturday morning 8-9am and Sunday evening from 6-7pm. He has consulted with numerous high-profile individuals including Mike Tyson, Chris Noth, Mickey Rourke, Steven Seagal, and Fox series Gotham's, Donal Logue and worked as a medical consultant for the New York Rangers hockey team as well as various modeling agencies.


Olympic skater Adam Rippon arrives at AZ Ice Peoria and the whispering begins. Young female skaters giggle, and their parents gush over the Dancing with the Stars mirror ball trophy he is gripping tightly.
He doesn't attempt to conceal his identity. Instead, he happily poses with his young fans, who aspire to be like him—on the podium, with an Olympic medal around their necks.
Rippon was visiting AZ Ice Peoria to star in Wish Upon a Star on May 27. He agreed to the appearance because a friend's daughter was a performer.
"I have a lot of friends here," Rippon says sitting in a chilly, cordoned-off rinkside room. He's wearing thin, USA-blue workout gear, and two shiny gold bracelets.
It's been a whirlwind year for Rippon, who won a bronze medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. In late May, he was crowned the winner of Dancing with the Stars: Athletes with his professional partner Jenna Johnson.
Rippon returns to the Valley for the Phoenix Mercury's Coors Light-sponsored Pride Night at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 16, during the team's game against the Connecticut Sun at Talking Stick Resort Arena. Rippon will participate in a halftime Q&A at center court for fans. A champion for gay rights, Rippon was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2018.
Rippon says he was pleased with his bronze medal finish. However, he wanted the public to learn about him as a person, not just as the athlete or Olympic star.
"It was really exciting because people had the chance to get to know me as more than an athlete," Rippon says. "I'll always be an athlete and an Olympian, but my takeaway was the chance for me to show off the rest of who I am.
Viewers, he hoped, recognized his sense of humor. He enjoys making people laugh and shares his story with anyone who will listen.
"I love hearing other people's stories as well," Rippon adds. "I'm from a really small town in middle-of-nowhere Pennsylvania. If you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything, no matter what track the people came before you crossed or walked.
Rippon, 28, tried to make the Olympic skating team twice, but didn't make the cut.
The same goes for stepping out of his comfort zone. Rippon was under the gun during Dancing with the Stars: Athletes. The special edition of the ABC hit TV show was only four weeks, significantly shorter than the proper shows. There really wasn't time to conquer a learning curve. He and Johnson had to "bring it" every week.
"As an athlete, you work your entire life for those moments (like the Olympics)," Rippon explains "For the dancing competition, I wanted to be excellent and professional at it, but you have four weeks and it's crazy.
Rippon has been busy since the Olympics. He flew from New York to Los Angeles, and then from Los Angeles to Phoenix on May 26, performed in Peoria on May 27, and left the morning of May 28. He didn't look tired in the least.
Phoenix Mercury Pride Night, Talking Stick Resort Arena, 201 E. Jefferson Street, Phoenix, 602.252.9622, talkingstickresortarena.com, 7 p.m. Saturday, June 16, tickets start at $9.


I'm a sax player and I recently picked up the clarinet. I find it quite tricky to go from Bb to Ab (middle register). Specifically, bar 83 of Mozart's concerto in A major seems a little akward at speed but I can't work out any less awkward alternate fingerings. Can anyone help me?

Eagles hope offense improves with WR Tate
Twenty-five questions in less than 12 minutes were lobbed at Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Mike Groh on Monday. Fourteen of them were about Golden Tate, who was acquired at the trade deadline from the Detroit Lions for a third-round pick in the 2019 draft.
In the year of offense, where scoring has been higher than ever thanks to rules that make it even more challenging to play defense, the Eagles elected to bring in another weapon for go-time. And go-time begins now.
Halfway through the season, the Eagles are sitting at 4-4, but three of their next four games are against teams in the NFC East, beginning Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. And Tate will be an integral piece to whatever the future holds over these final eight games.
"He's a veteran player, he's been in a couple different systems, so he's got familiarity with different systems in the league and he can relate it to things that he's done in the past," said Groh. "We're trying to look back at things that he's had a lot of success with and start there."
There is no question the Eagles became much more difficult to defend when you factor in Tate, who leads the league in yards after catch since entering the league in 2010, receivers Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor and tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert. It's now a matter of fitting the pieces correctly into place.
"When you win, everybody eats," said Agholor. "That's the most important thing. We have to win football games. I'm going to have to make plays that help him and he'll have to make plays that help me. All I know is winning is important. If he's going to help us win football games, which I believe he will, then that's important to me because when we win games, we all continue to contribute to that, it's all going to work out. I like we got a guy who will help us stay on the field."
The Cowboys are hoping Amari Cooper, who they acquired days before the trade deadline, but gave up a No. 1 draft pick to make it happen, can be that player for them. Cooper has one game under his belt with the Cowboys and caught a touchdown pass in Monday night's loss to the Tennessee Titans, and figures to be more active as the week goes on.
In Philly, though, Tate talk has swirled, and has given the fan base as well as his new teammates a jolt of confidence that they are still the team to beat in the NFC East.
As for Tate, he hasn't been in town long, but he is already familiar with the intense rivalry that exists between the Eagles and Cowboys.
"I've heard about it on social media," said Tate. "Our fans have expressed their passionate dislike for the Cowboys. It's going to be a great game. I'm happy that my first game gets to be at home against such an intense opponent. I can't wait to get to Lincoln Financial Field for my first game and play a division opponent. Coach said (earlier in week) we're right where we want to be, and this is the most important game not just because it's the next game, but because it's a division opponent."
SERIES HISTORY: 115th regular-season meeting. Cowboys lead series, 63-51. The two teams split last year's regular-season matchups, but the Cowboys' win in the regular-season finale meant nothing to the Eagles since the Eagles had already clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Eagles have won five of the previous nine meetings dating back to the 2013 season.

Photo Re-Post Feature Now Available
TE Expert
Have you ever received a critique recommending to do something to improve your image? But maybe you didn't want to have similiar images posted in your account or you didn't want to delete the original image because it contained interesting critiques?
Well, now there is a new feature available to encourage you to experiment with your photos. Next to all your images in the 'Manage' section, there is a new link called 'Re-Post' in between the 'Edit' and 'Delete' links. You can follow this 'Re-Post' link to upload a modified image of your existing photo.
The 'final version' of this photo is the one that will be displayed in the 'Photos' section. However, there will now be a 'Photo Version' line in the 'Photo Information' section for the photo where the 'Original Version' may be viewed and compared with the new modified photo.
Note: It's not currently possible to have more than 2 versions of any one photo.
Re: Photo Re-Post Feature Now Available
I like this new feature a lot. Seems well executed. Although being able to post more than 2 versions would be nice, I don't think people should be able to make unlimited revisions. Maybe 3-4 total.
I think that earlier versions of the photo should remain in the 'Photos' section archive, because it will most likely be the earliest versions that have the most comments (and, thus, are most useful as a learning tool). Later, improved versions will probably receive fewer comments, so the image won't show up as well in a feedback/popularity search. The more opportunities the user has to access the photo, the better, in my opinion.

"Maybe 3-4 total."
I'll see if this feature becomes popular. Once I see that it's actually used, I can added another repost option. (It's not trivial to do this, otherwise I would have done it from the get-go.)
"I think that earlier versions of the photo should remain in the 'Photos' section archive, because it will most likely be the earliest versions that have the most comments (and, thus, are most useful as a learning tool)."
Well, once a photo has been re-posted, it automatically becomes "linked" to the original image. Thus, a link will automatically be displayed from the re-posted photo page, called 'Original Image'. By clicking on the 'Original Image', all the old critiques, comments will be displayed. And since it's newer, a user will be more likely to see it first anyway since it will be displayed first.
"The more opportunities the user has to access the photo, the better, in my opinion."
That's true also. I can do this very, very easily. Search will still be the same. I'll see how it goes for now. I can always change that later on. Thanks for the feedback.

Great Adam!
I updated my two shots for which suggestions had been made. This feature lets the site function much more like a workshop, which is something I've been looking for.
I would like to see 'before' and 'after' comments along with the final version. Maybe stick a break/comment between comments that apply to current and earlier version. Something like...
-- Photo updated --
Then I can read all the posts about the picture, refer to the original if I want to see the basis for the change.
But, hey, it's great the way it is.

Thanks, how's that for turn-around? I can be very responsive to member requests since the user-base is so small. Keep the ideas coming! I'll try to add in cool features over time.
What do you mean it's not trivial? You had this change done in about 2 hours. No sweat, right? :)
Seriously I'm impressed by the cool feature & quick implementation!

Bugs?
I uploaded two revised photos. They counted against the daily allowance. I don't have a problem with that, just wanted to let you know.
Then I uploaded a third photo. Got the country wrong, there's no way to change that once the photo is uploaded. I deleted it so that I could upload under correct country.
That used up my three opportunities until tomorrow. Oh well,....
Re: Bugs?
Yes, uploading revised photos do count against the daily limit as it is a new photo. I may change this limit later on.
As far as the country part, it's a 2 part stage which will minimize problems I think. The reason is after you do the initial upload, it's still necessary to choose the corresponding state. Anyway I fixed your daily upload limit so you still have one left. Thanks for the feedback!
Just to add, I will eventually get around to allowing country changes for photos also.
Repost carry forwards...
How about carrying forward the shutter speed, f-stop type information with the repost?
I have no problems with the repost counting against the daily limit. Just letting you know.
I'll just be more careful when uploading pics from various countries at the same time.
BTW, love the 'NEW' tags.
Have you noticed that both updated and original versions can turn up on the front page at the same time?


Now And Zin Wine: Wine Movie: "A Year In Port"
When I see a picture of a vineyard in France, Italy, or Spain I may not recognize it as such. A vineyard in Portugal, or anything in Portugal for that matter, is unmistakably Portuguese. David Kennard's movie, "A Year in Port" brings that point home solidly. The camera work captures the innate beauty of Portugal perfectly in some scenes, while displaying its lovely capriciousness in others.
Following "A Year in Burgundy" and "A Year in Champagne," this film makes a wonderful trilogy of wine movies. It presents the feeling of Port wine as well as the tradition of it.
While opening on the activity in the coastal city of Porto, where Port wine is blended and marketed, the film quickly moves into the valley of the River Douro, where Port wine is grown. That starts about a hundred miles away and goes all the way to Spain. There, we get to see how young winegrowers are trying to carve out a place for themselves by growing, and making, table wines instead of Port.
The movie shows that the way Port is made is so expensive that young winemakers can't hope to get a foot in the door. The blends involve barrels that are as much as a hundred years old. These upstarts are putting their future into table wines. This makes a way for them to get into business, but it also means lower prices for the growers in a region where it is very expensive to grow and harvest grapes.
Is the future of the Douro Valley in Port, or is it in table wines? The Port producers are certainly trying to hold onto their traditions - and market share - while debating whether table wines are the wave of the future. It's an "old world" versus "new world" battle unfolding within the same small wine region.
The movie is definitely worth a view for anyone who has an interest in Port, or for anyone who has an interest in how tradition adapts itself to the future.
:A Year in Port"is also available as a trilogy with the other two companion films. iTunes is offering the trio for a special price of $14.99, which I assume will go away at some point. Find it here.


This specification defines an easy to use and flexible system for building resilient applications.
It is increasingly important to build fault tolerant microservices. Fault tolerance is about leveraging different strategies to guide the execution and result of some logic. Retry policies, bulkheads, and circuit breakers are popular concepts in this area. They dictate whether and when executions should take place, and fallbacks offer an alternative result when an execution does not complete successfully.
Fallback: provide an alternative solution for a failed execution.
CircuitBreaker: offer a way of fail fast by automatically failing execution to prevent the system overloading and indefinite wait or timeout by the clients.
Bulkhead: isolate failures in part of the system while the rest part of the system can still function.
The main design is to separate execution logic from execution. The execution can be configured with fault tolerance policies, such as RetryPolicy, fallback, Bulkhead and CircuitBreaker.
Hystrix and Failsafe are two popular libraries for handling failures. This specification is to define a standard API and approach for applications to follow in order to achieve the fault tolerance.
Refer to Interceptor Specification for more information on interceptor bindings.
This specification defines a set of annotations to be used by classes or methods. The annotations are interceptor bindings. Therefore, this specification depends on the Java Interceptors and Contexts and Dependency Injection specifications define in Java EE platform.
The Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) specification defines a powerful component model to enable loosely coupled architecture design. This specification explores the rich SPI provided by CDI to register an interceptor so that the Fault Tolerance policies can be applied to the method invocation.
The Java Interceptors specification defines the basic programming model and semantics for interceptors. This specification uses the typesafe interceptor bindings. The annotations @Asynchronous, @Bulkhead, @CircuitBreaker, @Fallback, @Retry and @Timeout are all interceptor bindings.
These annotations may be bound at the class level or method level. The annotations adhere to the interceptor binding rules defined by Java Interceptors specification.
For instance, if the annotation is bound to the class level, it applies to all business methods of the class. If the component class declares or inherits a class level interceptor binding, it must not be declared final, or have any static, private, or final methods. If a non-static, non-private method of a component class declares a method level interceptor binding, neither the method nor the component class may be declared final.
invocation must be business method invocation as defined in CDI specification.
if a method and its containing class don't have any fault tolerance interceptor binding, it won't be considered as a fault tolerance operation.
The MicroProfile config specification defines a flexible config model to enable microservice configurable and achieve the strict separation of config from code. All parameters on the annotations/interceptor bindings are config properties. They can be configured externally either via other predefined config sources (e.g. environment variables, system properties or other sources). For an instance, the maxRetries parameter on the @Retry annotation is a configuration property. It can be configured externally.
The MicroProfile Metrics specification provides a way to monitor microservice invocations. It is also important to find out how Fault Tolerance policies are operating, e.g.
When Retry is used, it is useful to know how many times a method was called and succeeded after retrying at least once.
When Timeout is used, you would like to know how many times the method timed out.
Because of this requirement, when Microprofile Fault Tolerance and Microprofile Metrics are used together, metrics are automatically added for each of the methods annotated with a @Retry, @Timeout, @CircuitBreaker, @Bulkhead or @Fallback annotation.
Use interceptor and annotation to specify the execution and policy configuration. An annotation of Asynchronous has to be specified for any asynchronous calls. Otherwise, synchronous execution is assumed.
Asynchronous means the execution of the client request will be on a separate thread. This thread should have the correct security context or naming context associated with.
A method or a class can be annotated with @Asynchronous, which means the method or the methods under the class will be invoked by a separate thread. The method annotated with @Asynchronous must return a Future, otherwise, FaultToleranceDefinitionException occurs.
The above code-snippet means the method serviceA applies the Asynchronous policy, which means the invocation will be done by a different thread.
The @Asynchronous annotation can be used together with @Timeout, @Fallback, @Bulkhead and @Retry. Method invocation will occur in a different thread.
Timeout prevents from the execution from waiting forever. It is recommended that a microservice invocation should have timeout associated with.
A method or a class can be annotated with @Timeout, which means the method or the methods under the class will have Timeout policy applied.
The above code-snippet means the method serviceA applies the Timeout policy, which is to fail the execution if the execution takes more than 400ms to complete even if it successfully returns.
When a timeout occurs, A TimeoutException must be thrown. The @Timeout annotation can be used together with @Fallback, @CircuitBreaker, @Asynchronous, @Bulkhead and @Retry.
In the above situations, it is impossible to suspend the execution. The execution thread will finish its process. If the execution takes longer than the specified timeout, the TimeoutException will be thrown and the execution result will be discarded.
When @Timeout is used with @Asynchronous, then a separate thread will be spawned to perform the work in the annotated method or methods, while a Future is returned on the main thread. If the work on the spawned thread does timeout, then a get() call to the Future on the main thread should throw an ExecutionException that wraps a fault tolerance TimeoutException.
A @Fallback can be specified and it will be invoked if the TimeoutException is thrown. If @Timeout is used together with @Retry, the TimoutException will trigger the retry. When @Timeout is used with @CircuitBreaker and if a TimeoutException occurs, the failure will contribute towards the circuit open.
maxDuration: maximum duration to perform the retry for.
@Retry can be applied to the class or method level. If applied to a class, it means the all methods in the class will have the @Retry policy applied. If applied to a method, it means that method will have @Retry policy applied. If the @Retry policy applied on a class level and on a method level within that class, the method level @Retry will override the class-level @Retry policy for that particular method.
* The configured the max retries is 90 but the max duration is 1000ms.
* even through it has not reached the max retries.
* there should be at least 4 retries but no more than 10 retries.
The @Retry annotation can be used together with @Fallback, @CircuitBreaker, @Asynchronous, @Bulkhead and @Timeout. A @Fallback can be specified and it will be invoked if the @Retry still fails.
If @Retry is used with @Timeout, a retry will only be triggered if TimeoutException or one of its super classes are defined in the retryOn attribute of the @Retry.
Fallbacks are invoked once a Retry or CircuitBreaker has failed enough times.
For a Retry, Fallback is handled any time the Retry would exceed its maximum number of attempts.
For a CircuitBreaker, it is invoked any time the method invocation fails. When the Circuit is open, the Fallback is always invoked.
If a FallbackHandler is registered for a method returning a different type than the FallbackHandler would return, then the container should treat as an error and deployment fails.
FallbackHandlers are meant to be CDI managed, and should follow the life cycle of the scope of the bean.
The above code snippet means when the method failed and retry reaches its maximum retry, the fallback operation will be performed. The method StringFallbackHandler.handle(ExecutionContext context) will be invoked. The return type of StringFallbackHandler.handle(ExecutionContext context) must be String. Otherwise, the FaultToleranceDefinitionException exception will be thrown.
This is used if the fallbackMethod is on the same class as the method to call fall back.
The above code snippet means when the method failed and retry reaches its maximum retry, the fallback operation will be performed. The method fallbackForServiceB will be invoked. The return type of fallbackForServiceB must be String and the argument list for fallbackForServiceB must be the same as ServiceB. Otherwise, the FaultToleranceDefinitionException exception will be thrown.
The parameter value and fallbackMethod on @Fallback cannot be specified at the same time. Otherwise, the FaultToleranceDefinitionException exception will be thrown.
The fallback should be triggered when an exception occurs. For instance, BulkheadException, CircuitBreakerOpenException, TimeoutException should trigger the fallback.
Closed: In normal operation, the circuit is closed. If a failure occurs, the Circuit Breaker records the event. In closed state the requestVolumeThreshold and failureRatio parameters may be configured in order to specify the conditions under which the breaker will transition the circuit to open. If the failure conditions are met, the circuit will be opened.
Open: When the circuit is open, calls to the service operating under the circuit breaker will fail immediately. A delay may be configured for the Circuit Breaker. After the specified delay, the circuit transitions to half-open state.
Half-open: In half-open state, trial executions of the service are allowed. By default one trial call to the service is permitted. If the call fails, the circuit will return to open state. The successThreshold parameter allows the configuration of the number of trial executions that must succeed before the circuit can be closed. After the specified number of successful executions, the circuit will be closed. If a failure occurs before the successThreshold is reached the circuit will transition to open.
Note that circuit state transitions will reset the Circuit Breaker's records. For example, when the circuit transitions to closed a new rolling failure window is created with the configured requestVolumeThreshold and failureRatio.
A method or a class can be annotated with @CircuitBreaker, which means the method or the methods under the class will have CircuitBreaker policy applied.
The above code-snippet means the method serviceA applies the CircuitBreaker policy, which is to open the circuit once 3 (4x0.75) failures occur among the rolling window of 4 consecutive invocation. The circuit will stay open for 1000ms and then back to half open. After 10 consecutive successful invocations, the circuit will be back to close again.
When a circuit is open, A CircuitBreakerOpenException must be thrown. The @CircuitBreaker annotation can be used together with @Timeout, @Fallback, @Asynchronous, @Bulkhead and @Retry. A @Fallback can be specified and it will be invoked if the CircuitBreakerOpenException is thrown. @Timeout can be configured to fail an operation if it takes longer than the Timeout value to complete.
The Bulkhead pattern is to prevent faults in one part of the system from cascading to the entire system, which might bring down the whole system. The implementation is to limit the number of concurrent requests accessing to an instance. Therefore, Bulkhead pattern is only effective when applying @Bulkhead to a component that can be accessed from multiple contexts.
A method or class can be annotated with @Bulkhead, which means the method or the methods under the class will have Bulkhead policy applied correspondingly. There are two different approaches to the bulkhead: thread pool isolation and semaphore isolation. When @Bulkhead is used with @Asynchronous, the thread pool isolation approach will be used. If @Bulkhead is used without @Asynchronous, the semaphore isolation approach will be used. The thread pool approach allows to configure the maximum concurrent requests together with the waiting queue size. The semaphore approach only allows the concurrent number of requests configuration.
The below code-snippet means the method serviceA applies the Bulkhead policy, which is semaphore approach, limiting the maximum concurrent requests to 5.
When using the semaphore approach, on reaching maximum request counter, the extra request will fail with BulkheadException.
The below code-snippet means the method serviceA applies the Bulkhead policy, which is thread pool approach, limiting the maximum concurrent requests to 5 and the waiting queue size to 8.
When using the thread pool approach, when a request cannot be added to the waiting queue, BulkheadException will be thrown.
The @Bulkhead annotation can be used together with @Fallback, @CircuitBreaker, @Asynchronous, @Timeout and @Retry. If a @Fallback is specified, it will be invoked if the BulkheadException is thrown.
When Microprofile Fault Tolerance and Microprofile Metrics are used together, metrics are automatically added for each of the methods annotated with a @Retry, @Timeout, @CircuitBreaker, @Bulkhead or @Fallback annotation.
The automatically added metrics follow a consistent pattern which includes the fully qualified name of the annotated method. In the tables below, the placeholder <name> should be replaced by the fully qualified method name.
If two methods have the same fully qualified name then the metrics for those methods will be combined. The result of this combination is non-portable and may vary between implementations. For portable behavior, monitored methods in the same class should have unique names.
Implementations must ensure that if any of these annotations are present on a method, then the following metrics are added only once for that method.
Note that the sum of ft.<name>.retry.callsSucceededNotRetried.total, ft.<name>.retry.callsSucceededRetried.total and ft.<name>.retry.callsFailed.total will give the total number of calls for which the Retry logic was run.
Note that the sum of ft.<name>.timeout.callsTimedOut.total and ft.<name>.timeout.callsNotTimedOut.total will give the total number of calls for which the Timeout logic was run. This may be larger than the total number of invocations of the method it's also annotated with @Retry because the Timeout logic is applied to each Retry attempt, not to the whole method invocation time.
Note that the sum of ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.callsSucceeded.total, ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.callsFailed.total and ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.callsPrevented.total will give the total number of calls for which the circuit breaker logic was run.
Similarly, the sum of ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.open.total, ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.halfOpen.total and ft.<name>.circuitbreaker.closed.total will give the total time that the circuit breaker has been active for.
Histogram of method execution times. This does not include any time spent waiting in the bulkhead queue.
Metrics added by this specification will appear as application metrics for the application which uses the Fault Tolerance annotations.
Future versions of this specification may change the definitions of the metrics which are added to take advantage of enhancements in the MicroProfile Metrics specification.
If more than one annotation is applied to a method, the metrics associated with each annotation will be added for that method.
All of the counters count the number of events which occurred since the application started, and therefore never decrease. It is expected that these counters will be sampled regularly by monitoring software which is then able to compute deltas or moving averages from the gathered samples.
This class would result in the following metrics being added.
The method has been called once.
No exceptions were propagated back to the caller.
Only one call was made, and it succeeded after some retries.
Two retries were made during the invocation.
The Histogram will have been updated with the length of time taken for each attempt. It will show a count of 3 and will have calculated averages and percentiles from the execution times.
One of the attempts timed out.
Two of the attempts did not time out.
This specification defines the programming model to build a resilient microservice. Microservices developed using this feature are guaranteed to be resilient despite of running environments.
This programming model is very flexible. All the annotation parameters are configurable and the annotations can be disabled as well.
This specification defines the annotations: @Asynchronous, @Bulkhead, @CircuitBreaker, @Fallback, @Retry and @Timeout. Each annotation except @Asynchronous has parameters. All of the parameters are configurable. The value of each parameter can be overridden individually or globally.
Override individual parameters The annotation parameters can be overwritten via config properties in the naming convention of <classname>/<methodname>/<annotation>/<parameter>.
The <classname> and <methodname> must be the class name and method name where the annotation is declared upon.
If the parameters for a particular annotation need to be configured with the same value for a particular class, use the config property <classname>/<annotation>/<parameter> for configuration. For an instance, use the following config property to override all maxRetries for Retry specified on the class MyClient to 100.
Sometimes, the parameters need to be configured with the same value for the whole microservice. For an instance, all Timeout needs to be set to 100ms. It can be cumbersome to override each occurrence of Timeout. In this circumstance, the config property <annotation>/<parameter> overrides the corresponding parameter value for the specified annotation. For instance, in order to override the maxRetries for the Retry to be 30, specify the config property Retry/maxRetries=30.
When multiple config properties are present, the property <classname>/<methodname>/<annotation>/<parameter> takes precedence over <classname>/<annotation>/<parameter>, which is followed by <annotation>/<parameter>.
The override just changes the value of the corresponding parameter specified in the microservice and nothing more. If no annotation matches the specified parameter, the property will be ignored. For instance, if the annotation Retry is specified on the class level for the class com.acme.ClassA, which has method methodB, the config property com.acme.ClassA/methodB/Retry/maxRetries will be ignored. In order to override the property, the config property com.acme.ClassA/Retry/maxRetries or Retry/maxRetries needs to be specified.
If an annotation is not present, the configured properties are ignored. For instance, the property com.acme.ClassA/methodB/Retry/maxRetries will be ignored if @Retry annotation is not specified on the methodB of com.acme.ClassA. Similarly, the property com.acme.ClassA/Retry/maxRetries will be ignored if @Retry annotation is not specified on the class com.acme.ClassA as a class-level annotation.
Some service mesh platforms, e.g. Istio, have their own Fault Tolerance policy. The operation team might want to use the platform Fault Tolerance. In order to fulfil the requirement, MicroProfile Fault Tolerance provides a capability to have its resilient functionalities disabled except fallback. The reason fallback is special is that the fallback business logic can only be defined by microservices and not by any other platforms.
Setting the config property of MP_Fault_Tolerance_NonFallback_Enabled with the value of false means the Fault Tolerance is disabled, except @Fallback. If the property is absent or with the value of true, it means that MicroProfile Fault Tolerance is enabled if any annotations are specified. For more information about how to set config properties, refer to MicroProfile Config specification.
In order to prevent from any unexpected behaviours, the property MP_Fault_Tolerance_NonFallback_Enabled will only be read on application starting. Any dynamic changes afterwards will be ignored until the application restarting.
Fault Tolerance policies can be disabled with configuration at method level, class level or globally for all deployment. If multiple configurations are specified, method-level configuration overrides class-level configuration, which then overrides global configuration. e.g.
For the above scenario, all occurrences of CircuitBreaker for the application are disabled except for those on the class com.acme.test.MyClient. All occurrences of CircuitBreaker on com.acme.test.MyClient are enabled, except for the one on methodA which is disabled.
Each policy can be disabled by using its annotation name.
Policy will be disabled on all class methods even if a method has the policy.
Policy will be disabled everywhere ignoring existing policy annotations on methods and classes.
If the above configurations patterns are used with a value other than true or false (i.e. <classname>/<methodname>/<annotation>/enabled=whatever) non-portable behaviour results.
When the above property is used together with the property MP_Fault_Tolerance_NonFallback_Enabled, the property MP_Fault_Tolerance_NonFallback_Enabled has the lowest priority. e.g.
In the above example, only Fallback and Bulkhead are enabled while the others are disabled.
The ExecutionContext interface has been extended with a getFailure method that returns the execution failure(#224).
Implementations must implement the new method of ExecutionContext.getFailure()(#224).

Kabam games coming to your desktop courtesy Pokki
By Andrew Webster | 11 years ago
With Pokki, the team at Sweetlabs is looking to bring a mobile-style app experience to the desktop. And thanks to a new partnership with Kabam, that experience will now include social games.
Four of Kabam's social strategy games will be available through the Pokki app store, including Edgeworld, The Godfather: Five Families, Dragons of Atlantis, and the still-in-beta vampire game Thirst of the Night. And the Sweetlabs team told Gamezebo that this is just the beginning, as they predict that "social games are going to be one of the most important categories" for the platform. You can already download apps for things like email, Facebook, and Twitter.
So why use Pokki as opposed to just playing in your browser? There are a few advantages, chief among them being real-time notifications. Just like how an email app will show you how many unread messages you have, while playing a social game through Pokki you'll be able to see how many new notifications you have via a small icon in your taskbar. It works much in the same way as push notifications do on mobile. So instead of keeping a game open in a browser at all times or checking back periodically, you can now passively follow what's going on.
Pokki also gives you much faster access to an app, as you're always just one click away. Clicking on an app in the taskbar will open it in a new window.
The team at Sweetlabs decided to partner with Kabam initially because they believe that "their social games are unlike anyone else's" in terms of quality and content. But you can expect to see future game announcements in the future as well.
Pokki will also be expanding to new platforms very soon. Currently Windows-only (available for XP, Vista, and Windows 7), we're told that a Mac version of the software will be available early next year, and it will feature all of the same apps as its Windows counterpart.
You can find all four games here.

_All of us have read the "oddball interview question" articles. They are aplenty on the web, get lots of hits when posted, and they are getting quite tiresome (hasn't everyone read them by now?).
To answer those, a series of questions will be asked of the candidate/job seeker. Mattson shares information on the "question behind the question" that recruiter is asking in a job interview. Below are the interview questions, Mattson's reflection on each question is available at the ACM link (goes to Mashable).
As you reflect back at your last position, what was missing that you are looking for in your next role?
What qualities of your last boss did you admire, and what qualities did you dislike?
How would you handle telling an employee his position is being eliminated after working for the company for 25 years, knowing they would be emotional?
How do you like to be rewarded for good performance?
Can you give me an example of when your relationship with your manager went off track and how you handled it?
When a person says "I have integrity," what does that mean to you?
Can you tell me about your experience working with the generation X or Y?
What are the three qualities you admire about them?Do you think age discrimination exists in the job market and if so, why?
Can you convince me you are the most qualified person for this role based on what we have discussed?
As you look at your previous companies, can you describe in detail which company culture did you excel in the most and why?
What other probing questions have you been asked at interview?

Arnold Shives, Mt. Fromme VI, 2018, oil, acrylic and collage on canvas.
SEYMOUR ART GALLERY, NORTH VANCOUVER BC Sep 15 – Nov 3, 2018
Arnold Shives was born in Vancouver in 1943 and was a childhood friend of the avant-garde poet bpNichol (1944-1988). Like Nichol, Shives was interested in human consciousness. In 1964, he enrolled at the San Francisco Art Institute. As another poet, Edward Lucie-Smith, wrote in his essay "Shives the Transcendentalist": "Shives was caught up in the radical climate of that time, but for him it triggered a spiritual quest."
Today Shives' quest might lie less in books than in the trees that supply them their pages – "the sinewy sprawl of Vine Maples, the bark pattern of cottonwoods" that he communes with on his morning walks near his North Vancouver studio. "I like to think that this ritual of forest immersion sharpens ear and eye," he writes on his website. "To those who are receptive, the splendor of nature colonizes the imagination."
For his current exhibition, Shives presents seven large-scale mixed-media paintings, blending oil and acrylic, abstraction and figuration, stamp and stencil, montage and collage. Not surprisingly, these are landscape paintings, or at least they begin as such, with attention paid to Mount Fromme, known to many Lower Mainlanders as the "crown jewel" of the North Shore mountains.
Informed by his printmaking practice, Shives works his canvases in multiple directions, laying down figures and forms in paint, only to remove them with razor blades, then rebuilding his surfaces using collage, stencil and stamping techniques. The process evokes growth, decay and rebirth, but also the routes one takes when travelling life's forest path.

it spit out error

Warning: include_once(D:\XAMPP\htdocs_includes itle.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\XAMPP\htdocs\index.php on line 9

notice that it doesnt output full string _includes\title only _includes itle
why is this?
and how to solve this?

A: Use it like this:
include_once __DIR__.'\_includes\title.php';


The most challenging thing about D.C., each time I visit, is trying to decide whether I want to shoot photos in front of any of the national monuments...or not. Since I'm not from D.C., those photo-ops are one-of-a-kind. I never see the Lincoln Memorial. Or the Reflecting Pool.
So is it cool to them? Or is it too "touristy"?
This particular trip, I decided I wanted to go for it. So each of my family shoots started in front of the Reflecting Pool, and then we migrated to a small area with lots of trees...to give each shoot a more comfortable feel. As if this was their home, not just a place they were visiting for the weekend.
Anyways, I loved this particular shoot. I have photographed Rob + Emily for a couple of years now, and I consider it to be such an honor that they continue to ask me to travel all the way back each year for their annual photos.
Thanks again, you two! Hope you enjoy!


It's not hard to see why Kirsten Dunst won the hearts of so many dudes back in the heyday of the teen rom-com, given her gorgeous blue eyes, blonde hair and very prominent assets. Check her out in as a rain-soaked Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man, plus Get Over It, Bring It On, Crazy/Beautiful and Elizabethtown to get a brief window into her filmography and absolute beauty. Whew.
