CLU's CERF economists to participate in The Wall Street Journal forecasting survey
The team behind the California Lutheran University's Center for Economic Research and Forecasting is taking its skills to the national level.
The CERF team will begin contributing to The Wall Street Journal's Economic Forecasting Survey, which checks in monthly with about 60 economists from major forecast centers and finance, business and nonprofit institutions including Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Goldman Sachs.
In each of the Journal's monthly surveys, economists weigh in with predictions for gross domestic product, unemployment, home prices and other economic indicators in the short term and over the next few years. The results are widely referenced both in the Journal's own analysis and by private industry and government policymakers.
"The CERF team feels privileged to be included in the survey alongside some of the largest and most respected forecast teams in the nation," CERF Executive Director Matthew Fienup said in a statement. "Our inclusion is validation of CERF's outstanding track record of accurate forecasts and timely, clear-eyed analysis."
CERF is one of only six university-based forecast centers in the country, including the UCLA Anderson Forecast, that are included in The Wall Street Journal survey.

In this training by Chris Collins, you will learn about unconventional shooting positions. You won't always have an ideal shooting position so knowing how to react to compromising situations is important. Defensive shooting is a very dynamic activity. You will need to be adaptable to be proficient.
The most important part of defensive shooting is quickly and accurately getting shots on target. Use a portion of your training time shooting from positions that aren't your norm. Be willing to use object around you as braces for movement.
The SIRT is a perfect tool for training compromised shooting inside. Starting 2 minutes into the video, Chris shows how to engage targets from the ground. Once you get this down, you will find that you are actually quite agile. Keep in mind that you should straighten your leg when drawing a weapon to keep it away from the front of your weapon.
As always, validate your SIRT training with live fire. When doing compromised shooting training with live fire, we recommend bringing a piece of carpet of a yoga mat to make it a bit more pleasant. At 6:00 in the video, Chris demonstrates how to shoot from behind a van. Remember that you can practice with any sort of cover.

Liberating Language an Expression of Freedom
Minister Mozammel Huq, Minister of Liberation War Affairs of Bangladesh paid a short fact finding trip to South Africa recently. It was the life and struggle hero and freedom icon Nelson Mandela, the first president of a democratic South Africa that motivated the minister's visit. The minister is himself a veteran soldier who fought for the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistan in 1971.
Photo: (l-r) Mr Shahiduzzaman Sarkar, Member of the National Parliament of Bangladesh, High Commissioner Shabbir Ahmad Chowdhury, Minister Mozammel Huq, Minister of Liberation War Affairs of Bangladesh, Anisha Pemjee, The Diplomatic Society, Kirtan Bhana, The Diplomatic Society and Mr Motahar Hossain, Member of the National Parliament of Bangladesh
That conflict is similar to the June 16th uprising in Soweto, South Africa, which rejected the imposition of Afrikaans as a language medium in schools. This uprising is commemorated on June 16th known as Youth Day in South Africa.
The minister visited the Hector Pieterson memorial in Soweto that pays tribute to a generation of high school students who stood up to the brutality of the apartheid regime. In Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital, a memorial to the students was also erected to preserve the history of the campaign that saw Bangladesh not only defend its cultural heritage but also break away from West Pakistan and develop and grow into a thriving independent nation under the leadership of the late Sheik Mujibur Rahman.
Spending time in Vilakazi Street at the homes of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Minister Mozammel Huq had a township experience of Soweto famous for its resilient people in the fight for their liberation. Today Vilakazi Street is famed for its two Nobel Laureates who lived in the same street.
For those who glorify colonialism a visit to the Voortrekker Monument in Thaba Tshwane Pretoria, which was also on the agenda of the minister's visit, the concentration camps set up to brutalize the Afrikaners is a stark reality check. The Afrikaners themselves, victims of colonial oppression fled the Cape Colony and trekked into the interior of the country. The stigma attached to the Afrikaans language is being retracted as more South Africans discover more about their origins. Maropeng, The Cradle of Humankind, the Origins Centre at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg all present an opportunity to learn more about early humans.
Several hundred thousand Bengali speaking people are currently estimated to be in the SADC region. They account for much of the remittances between Bangladesh and the Southern African region. About 5 million make up the diaspora, many employed in the Middle East, ASEAN as well as in the USA and Britain, the former colonial governor of India. Human resource is the key driver for a country of 170 million, considered to be one of the most densely populated countries in the world.
Minister Mozammel Huq found great affinity with the liberation heroes of South Africa. Their belief in fairness and justice, of freedom of expression and the joy of accomplishment of having achieved a goal was also the cornerstone of Bangladesh's liberation war. In this year of indigenous languages South Africa celebrates 25 years of its democracy and freedom. The constitution guarantees the use of all 11 official South African Languages, an aesthetic legal consideration dispersing the dominance of one over the other with a practical framework that makes it officially available where it is required.
The Kruger National Park, the world renowned game reserve was the last stop for the minister to experience a safari of the abundant African Savannah. A vision of connecting with nature to conserve the environment and draw in its natural African beauty was a design of Paul Kruger, the first President of South Africa in the Old Transvaal.
The Kruger Rand, a gold coin named after the first President, is valued for its purity and acknowledged store of wealth and is what most precious metal investors will recognize. South Africa, together with its neighbours, still holds vast deposits of highly sought after precious minerals, metals and gems. The new Continental Free Trade Agreement between the countries of Africa has just come into effect at the end of May 2019
The common aspiration of people marked the visit of Minister and War veteran Mozzamel Huq's visit to South Africa; it indicates the value of continuous people-to-people and face-to-face interaction through which to build a genuine dynamic partnership.


Eek I'm so excited that my 12 Days of Christmas has begun. I usually try to stick to a theme each year and in a way I guess I did as all of these ideas and crafts can be done in under 30 minutes.
I almost feel guilty about how easy this first idea is – as a matter of fact, I ended up making a second cork craft. You will see that one in another post later in the series.
The first idea are these easy to make cork plant stakes. The hardest part of any cork inspired craft is drinking enough wine to gather the corks – ha ha just kidding – you can buy corks for crafting on-line at Amazon and other places on-line or at your nearest "bottle your own" liquor depot (but the first way is the most fun).
Gather up your corks, a permanent marker and a small wooden dowel or you can use wooden kabob skewers. Insert dowel into bottom of used cork. If your corks are brand new, use your permanent marker and place a dot in the middle of one end of your cork and go get that corkscrew and make a hole to fit the dowel. As my dowels were a bit wider than a corkscrew I used a screwdriver to make the hole a bit bigger.
At this point you could use some hot glue or any craft glue to secure the dowel but I didn't need to as my dowels were a snug fit. Now write or print the name of your plant or herb on the cork and Voila – you are done. I added the cute thumb tacks as an added touch.
LOL I know you are thinking geez she sure doesn't know her plants because yes that is a Christmas Cactus not a basil plant…I had to work with what I had for the pictures and these will be gifted to some lucky person.
Seriously, you are done. If you have anyone on your Christmas list that loves herbs, these would be a nice addition to a gift of planted herbs or a start your own herbs kit.
Maybe during the 12 days of Christmas Crafts you will find one that you really like and it inspires you to make it – of course, if you do, I'd love to hear from you.

At the heart of any weight loss is metabolism. Metabolism is the rate at which the body burns calories we consume from food. The misconception that the metabolism can be lifted with a pill is that many people try every day. The truth of the matter is, the body is a well oiled machine. Only burn the calories it needs to function, in order to lose weight is necessary to change the mind body.
To lose weight effectively, the body needs to burn more calories than it is taking in. This means we have to eat less and move more. Now, that has to be one of the lines of all time cliché, but it is really true. To explain further, let's see how the body uses energy.
Weight loss will happen is that the body has enough calories to maintain daily activities is being performed. For the person who wants to lose weight, this lack of calories is a good thing. If the body normally burns 2,500 calories per day and eating 1500 calories per day, which will make the 1000 negative calories per day, making a loss of 2 pounds per week. Fantastic!
But many people want to eat 1500 calories a day, or who want a some space in case you are counting down for meals every day. So that's where an increase in metabolism comes into play you need to teach their body needs more calories for energy and the only way is to break the habit.
He has 21 days to break the habit and that applies to a habit of body, too! For 21 days, you need to exercise. The exercise enough to burn an extra 200 calories a day or 1000 calories a week. In those 21 days, the metabolism, accelerating during exercise and for a period of time later to learn that your body needs extra calories 1000 these each week and burns enough to keep playing. Weight loss moves 2 to 4 pounds per week.
But do not take stock in the fact that the levels of weight loss are so high for long. The less the body weighs, the fewer calories you will need to work and move every day and the cycle will start again. A slight decrease in caloric intake and a small increase in the exercise and the pen, the scale is moving again.
Weight loss is not really that difficult if you are patient and know how the body works. There is no sense in making a ton of pills that swear to accelerate your metabolism. Only increasing your heart rate and can be done simply with a hike to and from the mailbox of a couple of times.
Losing weight is not a matter of short-term. Take time to learn about your own body and your calorie needs. Create a negative calorie effect in 1000 and extra calories and burn 1000 per week means 4 pounds are gone and you're on the road to teaching some new tricks your body metabolism.

Bitter Much? Trump Derangement Syndrome Inspired 'Bitter Root' Comic
Avi Green December 22, 2021
The Charleston Free Times interviewed artist Sanford Greene, whose comic co-developed with David Walker, Bitter Root, is being adapted to film, and he reveals more of his divisive political leanings:
Free Times: What was the inception of 'Bitter Root' and the intent to make it an all-Black character book?
Sanford Greene: Trump. The elections. The social unrest in this country and feeling helpless to some degree, or at least, feeling harassed. Feeling like something needs to be done. Because what this is, it wasn't an awakening, but it was an awakening, not so much of "how did this happen?" but rather "it was bound to happen." We have to put this through the fire now, our contribution. We thought it would be interesting to look at some of those moments in this country and use that for creating leverage for our series, putting it during the Harlem Renaissance.
It's almost a year since Trump was sadly ousted from office, and these ideologues just keep up the hatred for him, is all. Greene sounds like he's alluding to "wokeness" as well, and that's no improvement either. There's more:
For you all to decide to do a deliberately Black piece of work, was there any fear, I wouldn't say retaliation from the industry but a fear there not being an —
An audience?
Not just an audience, but an embracing of it.
The comic industry audience — I'm being quite blunt about it — is 30-to-40-year-old white males. It's the core audience, comic books side. But when you think about pop culture and how comics are the zeitgeist of pop culture now. But none of these folks outside of the comic industry (are) really collecting the comics, but they are fans of the concepts, ideas, stories, and characters. So, we knew we had the audience; we just had to convince them to buy comic books now. We went all over the country, promoted our ideas at conventions, universities, book stores.
We knew we couldn't just rely on the traditional industry; we had to go outside of that. So, instead of comic conventions, we did universities. Instead of a trade show, or just those things, we do interviews on Black radio, hip-hop radio with DJ Eclipse on Sirius XM, and Shade 45. That audience loves this stuff but not your average Wednesday Warriors; that's people that buy comics when they come out on Wednesdays.
I find it galling he perpetuates the vision of the audience as all white, and pretty much obscures the vital issue of story merit. He's right moviegoers and the industry largely don't read comics, but to think they actually all appreciate the concepts and characters is pretty naive, seeing how corrupted Hollywood's become in what they produce nowadays. What universities are they promoting their products for, by the way? Based on Greene's politics, I'd figure it's the most far-left of the lot, which surely includes Harvard. The influences these writers go by is devastating.
At least we get an idea how they succeeded in getting Bitter Root adapted in Hollywood. If it's ultra-leftist enough, they'll go for it in a jiffy.

Arthritis Pain Depends on Mental Health
A new study suggests the amount of pain sufferers of degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis) feel is directly related to their mental health.
Researchers at the University of California-Davis School of Medicine discovered people with better mental health felt less pain, and people with worse mental health felt more.
The study suggests that mental health treatment could be an effective way to lessen arthritis pain.
"We found that increased levels of pain were associated with worse mental health at baseline," said Barton L. Wise, an assistant professor of general internal medicine and the study's lead author.
"And further, pain flares were associated with poorer mental health during the week prior to the pain flare."
The study, "Psychological Factors and Their Relation to Osteoarthritis Pain," is published in July in the journal Osteoarthritis and Cartilage.
Wise, who is a researcher with the UC-Davis Center for Healthy Aging, said he and his colleagues conducted the research because of the episodic nature of osteoarthritic pain. How much pain a person feels in their arthritic knee or hip may change, and those changes may not be related to structural changes in their joints.
"Pain varies over time, both over extended periods and over shorter periods," Wise said.
"The same person can feel little or no pain in their knee or hip, and later they can feel moderate to severe pain even when the extent of damage to the knee or hip joint as seen on X-ray imaging remains the same."
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease involving the loss of cartilage and bone at the joints. Typical symptoms include joint pain, tenderness and stiffness, usually in the knees, hips and spine. It is the most common form of arthritis, and also is known as degenerative joint disease.
Osteoarthritis has an estimated 27 million sufferers in the United States and is a leading cause of knee- and hip-replacement surgery, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The researchers studied 266 subjects in the Longitudinal Examination of Arthritis Pain Study, which investigated the relationship between pain, fluctuations in pain and health outcomes. During telephone interviews, the participants, all of whom had hip or knee pain, responded to questions about their pain and psychological states.
The interviews took place at one-week intervals over a 12-week period. Mental health was scored using the Mental Health Index-5, with high scores indicating better mental health on a scale of five to 30. Pain was scored using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index of 0 to 10, with a score of 10 indicating severe pain.
Better baseline mental health, a mental-health index score of 28 to 30, was associated with less pain and a relatively low score of 2.93 on the osteoarthritis pain index scale. Participants with worse mental health had mental health index scores of 13 to 22 and a relatively high osteoarthritis pain index score of 4.57.
In addition, patients with worse mental health — mental health index scores in the 13-to-22 range — had double the risk of increased pain flares as compared with participants in the 28- to 30-year-old age range.
Wise said that part of the study's strength is that it gauged individuals' perceptions of their pain intensity at different times, as well as comparing different participants' pain experiences.
"Pain is difficult to study in part because experiences and reporting of pain differ from one person to another. There can be differences in people's central or peripheral nervous systems, past experiences of pain or cultural differences in perceptions of pain, and these make it very complicated to look at differences in pain across individuals. Our study design helped eliminate some of those obstacles," he said.
"But it's likely that people's pain is the result of a large group of different factors rather than something as simple as one specific physiological factor."
While the study did not measure whether participants suffered from clinical conditions like depression, it suggests that mental health treatment could improve patients' osteoarthritis pain — especially because there are no medications that have been proven effective for changing the overall course of osteoarthritis.
Current treatments for osteoarthritis include weight loss, improved diet, vitamin consumption and over-the-counter analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
"With the paucity of effective interventions for osteoarthritis pain and the toxicities of some in common use, mental health may represent a new therapeutic target for osteoarthritic pain, with potential significant opportunities for both patients and physicians," the study says.

I just got back from a walk to the beach. It was a great morning. Truly special. Why? Because I live in the city and it was suburban quiet. No hustle and bustle, no traffic, less cars parked, different people (less commuters, more run/walkers), simply a treasure of a morning. You could even hear the seagulls before you got to the beach AND I saw a Turkey flying. Just kidding it was an eagle, which was weird to see. Do they even stick around for the winter?
Well with all the quiet I began thinking about all the things I am grateful for and thought I'd share my thanks with you.
It's been a great 2008 even though it hasn't been an easy one.
My thanks are in no particular order.
getting to live with my brother and cousin. Two great and different guys who are fun to be around.
my parents. For unconditional love, "free advice" and always giving. Thank you for being there.
my new neighbors. Two awesome guys, who are good people and have great stories to share. Lucky to have you both.
my friends. You can never have enough friends and I'm grateful for all my lifelong friends and all my new friends.
my health. You read, see or hear about poor health all the time and I'm grateful to be healthy and for egg white omelets. Had a spinach, ground beef, zucchini and squash omelet today. Hmmm.
my sisters. It's a pleasure to be your big bro and watch you grow. Armpit alert anyone?
my clients who followed me. Thank you for your business, your confidence and your loyalty. I feel lucky to be a part of your lives and help to make them better.
my new clients. Thank you also for your business. I look forward to exceeding your expectations, delivering you fast results and becoming your go to ACE for Health & Fitness.
the boys & girls club of Newton. You provided your gym free of charge and I was able to host 3 events and meet a lot of great people and help out local charities. Today, 208lbs of turkey is being served because you allowed me to use your gym. Giving feels good.
pumpkin workout/turkey toss participants. You provided the donations and made the charity workouts a success. It was a huge adrenaline rush to take you through the fat loss workouts. Hope you received your free copy of the Pumpkin Workout. It's ready. Anyone can contact me if you'd like a copy.
relationships. They make life more full. I am grateful for all of them.
invitations. I was very lucky to be invited to 3 different dinners and if you know me, I hate to say no to an invite, especially to food. Thank you for thinking of me, and I wish you a memorable Thanksgiving.
BSC. It didn't work out in the end, but you did provide a home for me the last 7 years and an environment for me to develop and grow my talents.
Happy Thanksgiving, especially to the cooks that make today probably the greatest holiday of them all.


How can I hatch my Companion egg?
First, you must access the Companion page by clicking on the egg icon next to your character's icon.
Once on the Companion page, you must have an Incubator in stock to start the hatching process. If you do not have one, you can buy an incubator in the Companion Shop.
Now, click the egg and slide it into the Incubator. The hatching process will start automatically, you'll just have to wait!
You can accelerate the hatching process by paying with Gold Coins (available in the Bank).
How can I feed my Companion?
On your Companion page, you can feed your Companion by clicking the "Feed" button.
A pop-up will appear indicating the number of food items you have in your Inventory Stock, and the quantity available in your Companion Stock (available for your Companion).
To fill your Companion's stock, select the quantity that you wish to give it by sliding the selector left and right, then click "Feed".
How do I evolve my Companion?
The evolution conditions for each Companion are different.
Note:[/u] After an evolution, the number of active days of the Companion will be reset to zero.
Your Companion will only evolve if you ask it to and if it's not exploring.
How do I send my Companion to explore?
On the Companion page, you must click the blue title bar below the avatar of your Companion to access the City of El map.
The blue dots represent a place your Companion can explore. Each exploration will cost your Companion between 10 and 40 Energy Points. Different treasures can be found it each place. The time of exploration can also vary between each place.
Note[/u]: If your Companion doesn't have anymore energy, you will have to wait until the following day, or purchase and use a Companion Energy Potion in the Alchemy Shop.
What can my Companion find while exploring?
It can find things such as (but not limited to) food, different baits, alchemy items, items to personalize your avatar, etc.
It can also win or lose energy and/or affection.
If you have all the common objects from a place, you will have to find the rare objects, which of course are more difficult to find.
Your Companion may come back from an exploration empty-handed, or it might meet a friend and forget to explore the area you sent it to^^.
What are the differences between each Companion?
Each Companion is unique, but the main characteristics (i.e. the quantity of energy available or the evolution characteristics) are identical within the same species. Only the level of luck can change from one Companion to another.
For example[/b]: Your Becola will always have a different level of luck than another Becola. However, they will all have 90 Energy Points.
Each Companion has a different food and a different bait that it is attracted to.
What happens if I put my Companion back in its egg?
Putting your Companion back in its egg is not like a reset.
Your Companion will keep its evolution, so you won't have to evolve it again.
Its luck level doesn't change either. However, its affection level goes back to 20% no matter the original level of affection.
The food available in the "Companion Stock" will be transferred back to your "Inventory Stock" (if there is enough space), and can be used for another Companion of the same species.
Energy Points are the level of your Companion's energy, which allow it to go explore.
The energy level is refreshed everyday as long as your Companion has food to eat.
What is the Affection Level?
The Affection level indicates whether your Companion likes you or not. It will go up if you take good care of your Companion, but it can also go down if you neglect it or you don't feed it.
If your Companion's affection level drops to zero, your Companion will return to its egg.
The Affection level of your Companion is also one of the conditions for its evolution.
You can find Affection points while exploring. You can also win 2% of affection per day if your Companion has food available in its stock.
What does a Companion's luck level do?
The level of your Companion's luck determine's their ability to find rare items while exploring. This level varies from one Companion to another.
Objects have their own level of probability of appearing.
When your Companion evolves, its Luck Bonus may remain the same, go up or go down[/u].
How can I change my Companion's name?
When an egg hatches for the first time, you can name your Companion by clicking the "Rename" icon (to the right of the screen). Following this first name choice, you can pay 100 Gold coins to change the name of your Companion.
How do I put my Companion back in its egg?
Go to the Companion page and click on the icon containing an egg with an arrow ("Put back in egg"), located to the right of your Companion's name.
The food in the Companion Stock will return to your Inventory Stock (if this transfer doesn't put your Inventory Stock over the limit) and can be used for other Companions of the same species.
If you put your Companion back in your egg, you will not be able to explore or play the mini-games until you hatch another egg.
Why did my Companion go back in its egg?
If you don't take care of your Companion, they will return to their egg. If you don't feed your Companion, its affection will drop little by little down to zero.
A companion who doesn't have any food available loses 20 Energy Points per day. Once the energy is all gone, it will lose 10 Affection Points per day.
/!\ Once the level of Affection has reached zero, the Companion will return to its egg.

Q: why is the open() syscall supported on some Linux systems and not others? I am inlining syscalls. Yes, I understand this is problematic but I have a good reason. I've tracked down my bug considerably and I'm just asking why has __NR_open disappeared on this arm64 Arch Linux system?

5.0.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP Sun Mar 10 15:08:34 MDT 2019 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Again, my code is inlining syscalls. This inlining approach works on another X86_64 system and indeed inlining mmap() works on this system. However, inlining open() on this arm64 Arch Linux failed with EFAULT.
Tracking down my bug, first, __NR_open is NOT even defined in this build environment. Second, regular open() calls open64() which executes an svc instruction with x8 set to #56, __NR_openat. Third, __NR_open is normally defined as 5 and that number has been repurposed to __NR_setxattr. This explains the EFAULT.
Basically, open() gets converted into openat() in a user library on this system and the __NR_open syscall has completely disappeared, taken over by a new syscall. What I don't understand is that __NR_open is defined in the canonical source for arm64 but just not on this Arch Linux arm64 system.
My bug fix is simple: inline openat() instead. But my question is why was this deleted and why is this not considered broken from a Linux POV? I'm thinking of Linus saying WE DO NOT BREAK USERSPACE! and I'm not thinking about this from a POSIX POV. Indeed The Linux Programming Interface doesn't cover this deletion at least not explicitly.

A: The file you are looking at, arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd32.h, is the system call definitions for the arm32 compat mode.
The system call definitions for native aarch64 are from the generic system call table include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h, which you can see does not define __NR_open.  The system call was not deleted - it never existed on aarch64.
The reason that __NR_open is not defined in the generic table is that the openat(2) system call was introduced later and is a strict superset of the _NR_open functionality, so there is no point in new architecture ports (created after openat(2) was introduced) supplying that system call - it is redundant.  The POSIX open() function is supplied by the userspace C library, calling into the openat(2) system call.
Old architecture ports that existed prior to openat(2) - like x86, and arm32 - must continue to include open(2), because old programs/library binaries certainly exist for those architectures that call the open(2) system call.  This concern does not apply to a new architecture port - the "breaking userspace" guarantee is that if it worked yesterday it will work today, but it does not say that if it worked on an existing architecture it can be recompiled and work on some new architecture.

As you may have seen, my work as an environmental geologist takes me into a lot of distressed environments. Usually urban. I see the the consequence of negligent fathering all the time. Sometimes it gets pretty horrible. I think our prisons would be nearly empty if more men lived up to the responsibility of being a dad. I can't imagine why they don't. I have told my two children, that my life was pretty amazing before I had kids – I climbed often, wandered around in mountains, rode my motorcycle all over the place and enjoyed real adventures. However, when I became a father, life got boosted up into a higher orbit and became even better than I could have ever imagined. It was like the beginning of the Wizard of Oz…all the sudden I could see in color. Being a dad is the absolute best part of my life…and it is the true value of my life.
Let me leave you with this… I work for myself and have my office in the basement. I have a gun locker in the office which holds mostly family artifacts (my grandfathers shotgun, my fathers police revolver and his side arm from WWII etc). The locker has an upper door for a cabinet that holds smaller items – pistols etc. The door is head height. I have two items taped to the inside of that door at eye level: a plastic camping mirror and a photo of my father with his buddies during the war. When I need to get my bearings, I open the gun locker, look at the man in the photo and then I look at the man in that little plastic mirror and compare the two. It is my compass. It reminds me of who I am, what I am suppose to be, what my mission is and what I am made of. My compass always reads true because my father was a good man. I pray that I can be of similar service to my children.
Thanks for sharing, Michael. Although I don't possess a gun locker, I have several pictures of my dad that I occasionally look at for inspiration as well. It's always good to have that 'compass' handy.

The battle of Austerlitz, also known as the Battle of the Three Emperors (Napoleon, Alexander I of Russia and Francis II of Austria), remains a warfare masterpiece and the most famous Napoleonic victories. Fearing a marine assault on his coasts while the Grand Army was gathered in Boulogne, England managed to form a new coalition on the continent against France (the third one since 1792). The French army rushed to Bavaria, encircled the Austrian troops in Ulm who surrendered on October 20th, 1805 and crushed the Kutuzov's Russians in Austerlitz on December 2nd, first anniversary of Napoleon's coronation. By a bitter cold, as the sun rose (the famous sun of Austerlitz which was interpreted as a sign of divine destiny for the Emperor), the enemy attacked the French on the Pratzen plateau before being repelled as expected in the frozen ponds of Satschan where they drowned. Austerlitz was a disaster for the Austro-Russian armies who were forced to negotiate'.
'After the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine (July 12th, 1806) which brought together sixteen German princes under the chairmanship of Murat, Grand Duke of Berg, Arch-Chancellor of the Empire, and after the dissolution of the Germanic Holy Roman Empire, the emperor was confronted with an ultimatum issued by Prussia (October 1st) and a fourth coalition of foreign powers bringing together Britain, Prussia, the Russia and the Sweden.
The 'Drang nach Osten' (Drive to the East), was punctuated of victories - Battle of Eylau (February 8th, 1807), armistice between France and Sweden (April 18th), surrender of Danzig (May 26th), Battle of Friedland (June 14th), Russian armistice (June 21st), and ended with the peace Treaties of Tilsit (July 7th)'.

All help appreciated

A: The SaveAs method, unlike the SaveCopyAs method has an optional parameter for FileFormat (see this for a discussion). The following sub, which you can perhaps modify for your purposes, will, when run from a .xlsm file save a macro-free copy of the file with the same name (but with .xlsx instead of .xlsm) in the same directory as the file that contains the macro. It doesn't delete the .xlsm file -- though you might want to make sure that any work is saved before running this:
Sub StripMacros()
    Dim fname As String
    fname = ActiveWorkbook.FullName
    fname = Replace(fname, ".xlsm", ".xlsx")
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=fname, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

Q: SQL Server: compare only month and day - SARGable I have a table storing a datetime column, which is indexed. I'm trying to find a way to compare ONLY the month and day (ignores the year totally).
Just for the record, I would like to say that I'm already using MONTH() and DAY(). But I'm encountering the issue that my current implementation uses Index Scan instead of Index Seek, due to the column being used directly in both functions to get the month and day.
There could be 2 types of references for comparison: a fixed given date and today (GETDATE()). The date will be converted based on time zone, and then have its month and day extracted, e.g.
DECLARE @monthValue DATETIME = MONTH(@ConvertDateTimeFromServer_TimeZone);
DECLARE @dayValue DATETIME = DAY(@ConvertDateTimeFromServer_TimeZone);

Another point is that the column stores datetime with different years, e.g.
1989-06-21 00:00:00.000
1965-10-04 00:00:00.000
1958-09-15 00:00:00.000
1965-10-08 00:00:00.000
1942-01-30 00:00:00.000

Now here comes the problem. How do I create a SARGable query to get the rows in the table that match the given month and day regardless of the year but also not involving the column in any functions? Existing examples on the web utilise years and/or date ranges, which for my case is not helping at all.
A sample query:
Select t0.pk_id
From dob t0 WITH(NOLOCK)
WHERE ((MONTH(t0.date_of_birth) = @monthValue AND DAY(t0.date_of_birth) = @dayValue))

I've also tried DATEDIFF() and DATEADD(), but they all end up with an Index Scan.

A: Adding to the comment I made, on a Calendar Table.
This will, probably, be the easiest way to get a SARGable query. As you've discovered, MONTH([YourColumn]) and DATEPART(MONTH,[YourColumn]) both cause your query to become non-SARGable.
Considering that all your columns, at least in your sample data, have a time of 00:00:00 this "works" to our advantage, as they are effectively just dates. This means we can easily JOIN onto a Calendar Table using something like:
SELECT dob.[YourColumn]
FROM dob
     JOIN CalendarTable CT ON dob.DateOfBirth = CT.CalendarDate;

Now, if we're using the table from the above article, you will have created some extra columns (MonthNo and CDay, however, you can call them whatever you want really). You can then add those columns to your query:
SELECT dob.[YourColumn]
FROM dob
     JOIN CalendarTable CT ON dob.DateOfBirth = CT.CalendarDate
WHERE CT.MonthNo = @MonthValue
  AND CT.CDay = @DayValue;

This, as you can see, is a more SARGable query.
If you want to deal with Leap Years, you could add a little more logic using a CASE expression:
SELECT dob.[YourColumn]
FROM dob
     JOIN CalendarTable CT ON dob.DateOfBirth = CT.CalendarDate
WHERE CT.MonthNo = @MonthValue
  AND CASE WHEN DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()) % 4 != 0 AND CT.CDat = 29 AND CT.MonthNo = 2 THEN 28 ELSE CT.Cdat END = @DayValue;

This treats someone's birthday on 29 February as 28 February on years that aren't leap years (when DATEPART(YEAR, GETDATE()) % 4 != 0).
It's also, probably, worth noting that it'll likely be worth while changing your DateOfBirth Column to a date. Date of Births aren't at a given time, only on a given date; this means that there's no implicit conversion from datetime to date on your Calendar Table.
Edit: Also, just noticed, why are you using NOLOCK? You do know what that does, right..? Unless you're happy with dirty reads and ghost data?

Indians fall short in 3-2 loss to Blue Jays

Cleveland's catcher had a costly throwing error in the seventh inning that helped Toronto score two runs, and the Indians rallied in the ninth but lost 3-2 to the Blue Jays on Friday night.
Carlos Santana hit a two-run homer, but the Indians went 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position and stranded 12.
They loaded the bases in the ninth inning against shaky closer Sergio Santos, but Michael Brantley hit a hard grounder to first for the final out, dropping the Indians to 2-6 in their last eight.
"We put ourselves in a tough spot," manager Terry Francona said. "It's hard to win those games."
After Santana snapped a 1-for-30 slump with his first homer in the sixth to make it 2-1, the Indians made it easy for the Blue Jays to come back.
Cleveland starter Justin Masterson walked No. 9 hitter Ryan Goins with one out, and with Melky Cabrera coming up, Francona pulled his big right-hander. Cabrera had three hits off Masterson already in the game and is 15 for 27 in his career against him.
"If I was Tito, I would take me out there, too," Masterson said.
Cabrera followed with a single off Marc Rzepczynski (0-1), and Munenori Kawasaki tied it with his single. Cody Allen came on to face Jose Bautista, but Gomes was the one who moved the runners ahead with his wild throw to first. Bautista was then walked intentionally and Edwin Encarnacion hammered an RBI single to center, putting the Blue Jays ahead 3-2.
Gomes and first baseman Nick Swisher had put on a play to try to pick off Kawasaki, but the throw skipped in the dirt and into right field.
"It's a hard one to swallow," said Gomes, who has five errors already this season after making just three in 2013. "Probably right there, it cost us the game."
Masterson allowed six hits and struck out nine in 6 1-3 innings, but got his fourth no-decision in four starts.
With three rainouts so far, the Indians haven't been able to get into a rhythm this season.
"It's been interesting," Masterson said. "But we've lost some close games and I think the momentum is starting to go in the right direction. It's coming around."
Steve Delabar (1-0), one of three Toronto relievers to combine for eight walks in the eighth inning of a loss at Minnesota on Thursday, got the win in relief of starter Drew Hutchison, who carried a shutout into the sixth and struck out nine.
Santana busted out of a long slump with his homer in the sixth off Hutchison to give the Indians a 2-1 lead.
Jason Kipnis, who had three hits, beat out an infield single and Santana, hitless in his previous 11 at-bats, drove a 3-2 pitch to right for his first homer since Sept. 28.
But the Indians couldn't do much else and dropped two games under .500 for the first time this season.
"We're going to get hits," Francona said. "But we've left runners on third and that's been costing us."

In Summer 2019 Alta Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites - the famous architect Le Corbusier declared them to be "the world's most beautiful work of architecture", celebrates 10 years from the declaration as UNESCO World Heritage site. In Alta Badia there are two sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List: the Fanes-Senes-Braies Natural Park and the Puez-Odle Natural Park.
Roughly 300 to 150 million years ago, all continents formed one super-continent called Pangea.
250 million years ago, the region known today as the Alps was a part of Pangea and located further south, in the earth's tropical zone.
Until the ice age, the mountain range we call the Dolomites today, was born as a giant coral reef in the prehistoric Tethys ocean. As this primordial sea subsided, majestic, bizarre, light rocks which were different than the mountains around them, were released.
Scientists found out at the end of the 18th century, the Dolomites, sometimes referred to as the "pale mountains", consist of magnesium-rich limestone. The Dolomites owe their present name to the geologist Déodat de Dolomieu, who performed the first mineralogical-chemical analysis of the rocks.
A particularly spectacular phenomenon which can be experienced very well in the Dolomites is the alpenglow or "Enrosadira" in Ladin language. Upon sundown, the Dolomite mountains around Alta Badia are being illuminated in magnificent shades of red, from pink to orange and carmine - the Santa Croce is a peak especially renowned for its blaze of colour.
The nine mountain ranges of the Dolomites which belong to the UNESCO's World Heritage include the natural parks Puez-Odle and Fanes-Senes-Braies which extend into Alta Badia.


An eventual bid for Best Buy Co Inc by founder Richard Schulze could come in under his initially proposed $8 billion range and will likely not occur before December, sources familiar with the matter said, in a new twist to the months-long saga at the struggling electronics retailer.
The former chairman has done most of his due diligence on Best Buy and has formed a business plan to turn around the world's largest consumer electronics chain, with his efforts now focused on lining up financing for a deal, the sources said.
At least three private equity firms - Apollo Global Management LLC , TPG Capital LP and Leonard Green & Partners LP - are considering joining Schulze in the bid, the sources said. Cerberus Capital Management LP, which was among the buyout firms that weighed joining the bidding group, is no longer working on the deal, one of the four sources said.
The Richfield, Minnesota-based company has been grappling with tough competition from online retailers and the aftermath of a boardroom drama that led to Schulze's departure and the ouster of his onetime protege.
Schulze said in August he could acquire Best Buy for $24 to $26 per share, valuing the deal between $8.16 billion and $8.84 billion and, if debt is included, as much as $10.9 billion.
But Best Buy's shares have since fallen more than 20 percent to trade just above $15. The stock was up 1.6 percent at $15.50 on Friday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange.
While a final decision on the offer price has not been made, the drop in shares has raised the likelihood that Schulze's bid could be below $24 per share, the sources said.
Schulze is expected to take a 30-day extension to mid-December for submitting a final proposal to Best Buy's board, they said.
The founder's efforts to clinch equity and debt commitments for what could be one of the largest leveraged buyouts of the year were delayed by superstorm Sandy which disrupted operations at several major Wall Street banks.
An extension will also give Schulze and the buyout firms a chance to see how Best Buy is performing in the crucial Christmas holiday season, the sources said.
There are no guarantees, however, that Schulze will ultimately be able to secure financing for the proposed buyout. Schulze has said he plans to fund any deal through a combination of private equity and debt financing, as well as the reinvestment of some of his own equity in the company.
Best Buy and Apollo declined to comment. The other private equity firms could not be reached for comment.
Best Buy has seen its fortunes falter over the years, as consumers increasingly use its big box stores as showrooms for products they end up buying online at Amazon.com Inc and other websites. To add to its troubles, the company forced out Schulze's protege, Brian Dunn, as CEO earlier this year amid allegations the executive was having an inappropriate relationship with a female employee.
That scandal also led to the ouster of Schulze, who founded the company in 1966, from the board, and to Best Buy hiring turnaround expert Hubert Joly as its CEO to come up with its own restructuring plan.
Joly will have more of a chance to distance the company from its founder next week, when he unveils more details of his own turnaround plan to Best Buy investors in New York.
Barclays analyst Alan Rifkin expects Joly to reinforce the retailer's commitment to its brick-and-mortar stores and talk about his plans to win shoppers from online and discount rivals with better service and a wider product assortment, both in stores and online. Rifkin, however, does not expect Joly to announce any significant store closures next week.
"I don't think they have gotten their arms around the entire real estate portfolio just yet. We do think they need to rationalize their domestic square footage," said Rifkin.
Analysts also think Best Buy needs to do something soon to address consumer perceptions that its prices are higher than those of online giant Amazon's.
"Mr. Joly needs to balance cost cuts which can prop up earnings. But by the same token, he needs to outline investments and initiatives that will make the stores and the brand compelling to the American consumer," said Bradley Thomas, an analyst with KeyBanc Capital Markets. "The challenge will be finding that right balance."
Best Buy, which has now posted declines in same-store sales in eight of the last nine quarters, has said it planned to match online prices on some items this holiday season.
One analyst has said that Best Buy's declining fortunes could make a buyout more attractive for some investors.
"We are starting to believe that current shareholders may be more receptive to Schulze's previously disclosed offer of $24-$26 per share than we previously believed," Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy said late last month.

Q: Django SUM from INNER JOIN I have a DB like this:
class MyCPU(models.Model):
    cpu_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    cpu_count = models.IntegerField()

class MyMachine(models.Model):
    hostname = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    ip = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    cpu = models.ForeignKey(CPU, on_delete=models.CASCADE)

How can I achieve the result of following raw SQL command in Django ?
select sum(cpu_count) as sum_cpu from my_machine inner join my_cpu on my_machine.cpu_id=my_cpu.id

I basically want to sum how many CPU in all of machines.
I have tried this solution but it did not work
Machine.objects.annotate(total_cpu=Sum('cpu__cpu_count'))

A: Since you are using foreign key, You can do
MyMachine.objects.values('hostname', 'ip', 'cpu__cpu_count')

This will get each Machine how many cpu`s.
If you need total number of cpu`s
MyCPU.objects.aggregate(total_cpu=Sum('cpu_count'))['total_cpu']

If there are unconnected CPU objects, you can do following to get sum from all machines,
MyMachine.objects.aggregate(total_cpu=Sum('cpu__cpu_count'))['total_cpu']

I think the last one is you are searching for since there is chance of same CPU object in different machines.


We believe in social responsibility and in the role that coaching plays in transforming individuals, organisations, communities and ultimately societies.
We think of coaching individuals as throwing stones into a pond. One stone will not make the difference but many stones could. And what a transformation that would be.

Das Netanja-Stadion () ist ein Fußballstadion im israelischen Netanja, das ab der Saison 2012/13 das Sar-Tov-Stadion als Heimstätte des israelischen Fußballerstligisten Maccabi Netanja ersetzt.

Geschichte
Der gesamte Komplex des Stadions entstand auf einer Fläche von 16,3 Hektar. Es soll mit der Bahn verbunden werden und einen Parkplatz für rund 1000 Fahrzeuge beherbergen. Innerhalb des Stadions werden sich 36 Logen, VIP-Plätze und Plätze für die Presse befinden. Für die Architektur des Stadions war die israelische Architekturfirma GAB (Goldschmidt Arditty Ben Nayin) verantwortlich. Die Firma war ebenfalls zuständig für die Renovierung des Petach-Tikwa-Stadions. Die Baukosten beliefen sich auf 240 Millionen Schekel (rund 48 Millionen Euro). Am 30. Oktober 2012 wurde das Stadion, nach dem Baubeginn 2005, eröffnet. Derzeit bietet es auf den zwei Längstribünen Platz für 13.610 Besucher. Die Sportstätte soll in einer zweiten Bauphase mit einem Ausbau der Hintertortribünen auf 24.000 Plätze erweitert werden.

Das erste Spiel trug die Heimmannschaft Maccabi Netanja gegen Hapoel Tel Aviv aus. Das Spiel endete mit einem 2:1-Sieg der Gastgeber.

Das Stadion war ein Austragungsort der U-21-Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2013 im Juni des Jahres.

Ryan Seacrest took his first sick day from "American Idol" on Monday night. Radio host Bobby Bones filled in.
This is the first time Seacrest has missed a taping in the history of the show, a spokesperson for ABC, which airs "American Idol," confirmed to TheWrap.
Seven more contestants were chosen Monday for the round of 14, narrowing the field from 20.
Among the 14 is Shaker High School junior Madison VanDenburg, 17, who performed in Sunday's first group of 10.
The Cohoes resident sang "We Belong" with Pat Benatar during the Top 20 All-Star Duets round.
Benator's longtime collaborator Neil Giraldo joined the pair on guitar and vocals in front of a live audience and judges Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
A week earlier, VanDenburg performed the Jackson Five's "Who's Lovin' You" to make it into the Top 20.
"American Idol" airs at 8 p.m. Sundays and Mondays on ABC affiliate WTEN Ch. 10.


Belgian guitarist and sound artist Dirk Serries and Swedish, Trondheim-based drummer Tomas Järmyr meet again after the successful recording of YODOK III—their trio with amplified tuba player Kristoffer Lo—to explore more sonic options together. Ashes and Blues was recorded live in the studio in February 2015 after two invigorating live performances in Belgium.
The three pieces on the limited edition vinyl Ashes and Blues, are comprised from sketchy ideas but Serries and Järmyr turn the fleeting musical motifs into multi-layered, enigmatic trance-like and deeply moving compositions. "Paradox," the first piece, begins with distorted yet reserved guitar lines and fractured rhythms accentuated mainly by the cymbals. Soon enough, Serries begins to employ the guitar effects and creates various loops while Järmyr sets a ceremonial, massive pulse and both transform this piece into a stream of aggressive and intense waves of dense sounds, bordering with noise at its climax.
The second piece "Damper" is based on a subtle interplay between Serries and Järmyr. Serries uses his guitar effects to suggest a series of minuscule sonic events that trigger delicate playing of Järmyr on the cymbals and bells. This emphatic interplay patiently, and slowly deepens and solidifies with thicker sounds comprised of layers and loops of abstract guitar sounds and powerful, restless drumming, still with great control and focus. The last piece, "Consecration" features Serries and Järmyr exploring a new sonic terrain, more minimalist and gentle but one that still stresses a profound hypnotizing vein. The slow shaping of guitar-produced thick sonic waves melt organically into the tribal drumming of Järmyr, bringing this piece into a majestic coda.
Track Listing: Paradox; Damper; Consecration.
Personnel: Tomas Järmyr : drums, Dirk Serries : electric guitar, effects.


I bought a Micromax usb dongle in Manali a couple of weeks ago, prepaid with Aircel. I don't think I ever got 3G speeds on it, but then I lived far up the hills.
Anyway, I've arrived in Jaipur and when I insert the dongle and start up the software, before I press the "connect" button, it says "initializing" and then there's an icon of the Earth and next to it it says IDEA. I don't think it used to say anything before. Below the globe icon there's a "G", some other icons and an "E".
When I press 'connect' it doesn't authenticate me any longer.
Having my usb plugged in, but not connected I just now received an sms from Aircel. So some sort of connection is established.
So why can't i connect anymore?
I went to an Aircel office and they got it working for me.
It could be that Aircel is not available in Jaipur, and there a second service provider is used instead.

Elderly woman treated for shock after pipe explodes outside her home
Damage caused to door and hallway of house in Craigavon
An elderly woman had to be treated for shock after a pipe bomb exploded outside her home.
Police received a report of the incident at around 12.20am today (Thursday).
It happened in the Burnside area of Craigavon.
Police say that the pip device detonated, causing damage to the door and hallway.
An elderly female resident received treatment for shock.
Upper Bann DUP MLA Carla Lockhart condemned those behind the attack.
She said: "This is just horrific. This type of behaviour is reckless. We could be dealing with a death or a serious injury.
"The community does not want this type of activity in the area."
SDLP councillor Declan McAlinden added: "This incident is an absolutely cowardly attack in the dead of night on a 65-year-old elderly woman's home which could have ultimately led to serious injury or death".
"In simple term we could have been dealing with a murder here today and that is not acceptable."
SDLP Craigavon representative Thomas Larkham said: "I visited the home of the victim this morning to offer any help or support. She was clearly still very shaken up and distressed by this whole ordeal.
"The message is very clear that the people of Craigavon do not want to be dragged back to the past.
"For a number of years now the people of Brownlow have worked tirelessly with the PSNI and other statutory agencies to erode the bad name associated with Craigavon and these types of mindless actions fly in the face of that good work and must stop immediately.
"The SDLP will be seeking an urgent meeting with the PSNI in relation to this and other incidents of a similar nature which have occurred within the Brownlow area over the last few months."
Sinn Fein spokesperson Michael Tallon continued: ""This is the latest such attack involving criminal gangs who are intent on killing someone.
"I would urge anyone with information to contact the PSNI.
"Sinn Féin will be meeting the police in regards this and other serious incidents in the area."
Police, meanwhile, are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
Anyone who can help is asked to get in touch with the detectives at Lurgan on the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference number 19 of 7th March.. Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously to the Crimestoppers charity 0800 555 111.
