I feel beyond blessed to have been nominated for a Liebster Award by Amanda at The Not So Normal Mommy. If you haven't heard of Amanda's blog, you certainly should check her out. I like mommy blogs, wifey blogs, and funny blogs. Fortunately, The Not So Normal Mommy checks all of those categories making it the Mom Blog Trifecta!
Thank you, Amanda, for the nomination! I cannot wait to pass on the honor.
If you speak German (which I do not--so definitely had to look this one up) you know that liebster means sweetest or dearest. This term of endearment is certainly at the heart of the honor as it is an award for bloggers by bloggers all with the intention of helping to share a blog with as many people as possible.
For us relatively new bloggers, it is an absolute dream! You can find out more about the award and the rules for nomination here.
What is my favorite blog that is not my own?
However, if I have to choose a favorite, I am going to go with a pretty universally liked blog--though they are really more of a vlog--I Mom So Hard. I seriously heart these ladies so freaking much! In fact, I often find myself spending countless hours deliberating whether or not I am more of a Kristen or a Jen.
These gals are incredibly hilarious and so honest to boot. But more than that, they speak to the universal truths of motherhood ranging from pregnancy all the way to adult grown children. Oh, and if you ever wanted to figure out the best way to rock a pair of Spanx, check them out below.
And if you are wondering if they are as funny in person as they are on YouTube I can say from experience--they are! I was fortunate enough to go with my BMF (Best Mom Friend) to their live show this summer and we had the time of our lives with hundreds of other moms who were no doubt (literally) peeing their pants laughing.
Though I have done a fair share of global travel, I have lived in Wyoming my entire life.
I am a closet cake baker.
I am surrounded by testosterone! Seriously, four brothers and two brothers-in-law and my beautiful son.
I have my Master's Degree and worked in Marketing before becoming a SAHM.
My secret dream job is to be a writer...and a fitness instructor....and a chef....where was I going with this?
I love hunting, fishing and the Great Outdoors (both the movie and the real thing).
I am related to a TV star--Dan Blocker (Hoss from Bonanza). We are second cousins twice removed. I know, it's a stretch, but still!
I love listening to Christian radio.
I am pretty strongly right-brained, so being creative is deeply ingrained into my nature. I love how blogging is all about pouring out my heart and soul on subjects that I care deeply about.
I started blogging as a creative outlet while still in grad school. Honestly, I was writing and working on my thesis nearly 24/7. I just wanted an opportunity to write for fun rather than duty. I started before having children so my early blog pages look much different than what I blog about today. But isn't that what makes blogging so fantastic? It grows and changes with you throughout every stage of your life.
The first blog I started to follow was called Undressed Skeleton, which is now known by the authors name, Taralynn (Simply Taralynn). Though I draw inspiration from bloggers of all backgrounds and topics, her blog was the first one that I kept coming back to regularly to check up on.
She was about my age and had gone through an amazing transformation to a more fit and healthy lifestyle. I have been following Taralynn for about three years now and I feel like I know her personally, even though we have never met. I want my readers to feel that way about me as well.
Where do you see your blog, 5 years from today?
I know blogging is a slow and gradual process and I certainly do not expect to gain hundreds of thousands of followers overnight. In five years I hope to have a large enough following to be able to monetize my blog while still providing inspiring and insightful posts for my followers.
Sometimes I feel like I have nothing special to say to anyone. But then I am reminded that my story is important, too. Whether I am blogging about my faith, my fitness journey, food, or my family, I want my words to reach people and make a positive impact in their lives. Even if it is just providing them with an extra smile that day.
Though I started my blog in 2013, I stepped away for a couple of years when I got pregnant with my son. It was only once I left working full time to stay home with him that I felt a call to go back to writing. It has truly saved my sanity and also connected me to many other inspiration women (and men) who are currently in the same boat as I am.
Knowing what you know today, what's the one piece of advice you'd give to yourself, the day you started blogging?
Take better quality photos! Boy oh boy, do I wish I had known then what I know now then.
When I started my blog it was really only for me, so taking clean pictures was not at the top of my priority list. But it is amazing what good photos can do to a blog page. Even if the writing isn't all that great. People are attracted to visually pleasing images. Give your viewers something nice to look at!
What do you do, when you get writer's block?
Believe it or not, the best cure for writer's block for me is a cold and snowy day. I have a much harder time getting any writing done in the summer simply because I am an outdoors girl. If I have the opportunity to be outside playing with my son, hiking in the mountains, or enjoying a walk around the park, I am going to take it. Fortunately, summer and fall are when I get my best pictures taken, so there is a silver lining.
Give me a roaring fire, a cup of hot coffee, and gently falling snow and I can sit and write all day long. There is just something so inspiring about the coziness of it all that really get my creative juices flowing.
If you could give a new blogger one piece of advice, what would it be?
Patience, patience, patience. Seriously, do not expect to be an overnight success. If you write about motherhood, fitness, and food (like I do), trust me, there are millions of other women who do the exact same thing.
Progress happens over time. Don't give up and eventually you will see success.
How do you measure success, for your own blog?
I measure success many ways. Yes, increased page views is definitely one of them. And I certainly love when I get a small commission from some of my affiliates. But, honestly, I find it most rewarding when I receive positive feedback from someone who has read one of my posts.
I do a little happy dance each time I see a nice comment pop up at the bottom of my page. And it does my heart so much good to hear that my words really resonated with something someone else was feeling. If I can bring happiness, faith, reassurance, etc. to even one reader, I will consider it a smashing success.
Name one fear you have, when it comes to blogging!
Trolls! I am nowhere near a big enough blogger to have had an issue with internet trolls, but I know if my blog grows there is a big chance that I will eventually encounter them. Though I try not to, I have a tendency to take what others say about me to heart. Even knowing that there are people out there that leave nasty comments simply for the sake of being horrible, I still fear the day I will have to run into them.

About the Register Data
Historical performance data for professional leagues (affiliated minor leagues, independent minor leagues, fall/winter leagues, and other international leagues) is provided by and licensed from 24-7 Baseball and Chadwick Baseball Bureau. It incorporates the work of many stalwart baseball researchers, including Cliff Blau, Art Cantu, Frank Hamilton, Reed Howard, Kevin Johnson, Bob McConnell, Jack Morris, and Ray Nemec, as well as members of the Minor Leagues Committee of the Society for American Baseball Research.
Perhaps most importantly, it builds upon the seminal work of Ed Washuta, who magnanimously provided the framework to make the whole thing possible.
Minor league Total Zone (Rctch&Rtz, 2005-2009) data provided by Baseballprojection.com and Minorleaguesplits.com.
About the Negro League Data
This data comes from two sources. 1) The Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group put together by the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum thanks to a grant provided by Major League Baseball. 2) Gary Ashwill and his collaborators.
The Hall of Fame data is found for the years 1920-1948 and the Ashwill data is found from 1904-1919. Many statistics are incomplete due to ongoing research and/or limitations in published sources, so please be assured that we are aware there are issues with the data and will continue to work with our data providers to improve the data that appears here.
The Hall of Fame dataset
This data is constructed from the best available information as provided by Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark of the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group. It contains data culled from newspaper boxscores, covering league sanctioned games from 1920 to 1948, which was produced for a study sponsored by Major League Baseball and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. It reflects totals as compiled by the NLRAG up to 2006. As new credible information is continually unearthed, these numbers will continue to change.
Baseball-Reference and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum would like to acknowledge Major League Baseball for funding this study, along with the Negro Leagues Researchers and Authors Group for their extensive efforts to collect the raw data and construct the most comprehensive database of Negro Leagues Baseball statistics. Under the direction of Larry Lester, Wayne Stivers and Dick Clark, this database is the largest dataset ever made publically available and we wish to express our gratitude for all their efforts to help rebuild this lost statistical history.
The Ashwill Negro Leagues Database
Playing statistics and biographical data on the Negro leagues (all pre-1920) and early Latin American professional baseball is licensed from and provided by the Negro Leagues Database, a project organized by Gary Ashwill with the participation of many historians of Negro league and Latin American baseball.
The database is a work in progress, and will include more seasons as development continues. It appears in its original form at Seamheads.com.
Playing statistics and biographical data for this portion of our dataset (The Negro Leagues Database) are all copyright 2013 by Gary Ashwill. All rights reserved.
Completeness
Note that our records are missing thousands of players who played in the Negro Leagues for minor league teams, independent teams, barnstorming teams or even Negro major league teams. We will bring their records to light as soon as suitable records are available for those players.

"Never mistake my kindness for weakness."
Loved this site for years but just decided to make an account now. Don't know how to make graphics, just here to vote to help promote some of the great stuff I see here.


You're supposed to protect us from overly aggressive corporations NOT protect the corporations from us! I guess it's too much to ask from a body that is being run by ex-lobbyists for these corporations!
The creation of a FAST Internet and a SLOW Internet is nothing more than the Internet providers not wanting to upgrade their Internet bandwidth, even thought WE are the ones PAYING for that bandwidth!
That's why the US has the slowest Internet access in the developed world and the 2nd slowest from the bottom – 4G wireless yet we pay the MOST for this slow Internet!
The Internet providers don't want to upgrade their speeds which is why they are trying to get the government to slow the whole thing down for them!

NASBLA Executive Committee Delegation Meets with U.S. Coast Guard in Washington, D.C.
On March 17, 2022, a small NASBLA Executive Committee delegation, led by Chairman Kenton Turner, had the opportunity to visit the United States Coast Guard Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The meeting with Commandant Karl Schultz was facilitated by Jeffrey Wheeler, Deputy Chief of Boat Forces, where he partnered with Verne Gifford, Chief of the Boating Safety Division. Their efforts resulted in meeting with senior leadership across both the office of the Assistant Commandant for Capability, RADM Todd Wiemers, and the office of the Assistant Commandant for Prevention, RADM John Mauger, as well as the Vice Admiral Scott Bushman, Deputy Commandant for Operations.

Pregnancy is an extremely exciting time. However, it can also be fraught with questions and concerns. Ensuring you receive the best prenatal care possible is the first step toward making sure you enjoy a happy and healthy pregnancy.
Prenatal care is an essential part of keeping you and your baby healthy and making sure you give your child the best possible start in life. Prenatal care allows for important screening services to be performed. Your prenatal care will include lifestyle and nutritional advice, weight measurements, and a wide range of prenatal tests to ensure the health of both you and your developing baby.
Prenatal care is necessary in order to provide important health and screening services that will allow your doctor to check for important health issues throughout your pregnancy. Prenatal testing will monitor the health and development of your baby. These tests may include urine tests, ultrasounds, chorionic villus sampling, group B strep screening, quad screen, and amniocentesis. Prenatal care is important not only for the baby, but for the mother-to-be.
Preparing for a healthy pregnancy can include many different factors. Quitting smoking, limiting or ceasing alcohol consumption, taking folic acid supplements, cutting down on caffeine, and making sure you eat a balanced diet are all important first steps. You may also wish to undergo a cervical screening, ensure you are up to date on important vaccines, and receive testing for STIs. If you have other questions, your doctor can offer important insight into other steps you can take to set yourself up for a healthy pregnancy.
I'm pregnant. How should I take care of myself and my baby?
The first step toward taking care of yourself and your baby is making sure you have access to exceptional prenatal care. Making an appointment with a prenatal specialist can provide you with the in-depth answers you need to make your pregnancy as healthy as possible. An experienced doctor can offer you important information regarding your unique situation, including nutrition, vitamin supplements, weight gain, and specific medicines you may be taking.
I don't want to get pregnant right now. Should I still take folic acid?
Folic acid is an important nutrient for a baby's development. Even if you have no plans to become pregnant, taking folic acid is an excellent step to take if there is even a remote possibility you might become pregnant. Additionally, folic acid can reduce a woman's chance of developing high blood pressure, so there are other benefits, even if you aren't not planning to become pregnant now.
The general schedule recommended for pregnant women is 1 visit per month for weeks 4-28, 1 visit every 2 weeks for weeks 28-36, and 1 visit each week for weeks 36-40. For women with higher risk pregnancies, your doctor may wish to see you more often. It is important to listen to your prenatal doctor if they wish to see you more often. Risk factors may include pre-existing health problems, age, and medical problems that can develop during pregnancy.
What happens during prenatal appointments?
Your prenatal visits will vary depending on what part of your pregnancy you are in. During your first prenatal visit, your doctor will schedule blood tests, measure your height and weight, and calculate your due date. Your doctor may also perform a pap test and breast exam. Your second trimester may provide you with your first ultrasound pictures of your baby. During your third trimester, your doctor will monitor your blood pressure, check your urine, and measure fundal height and your baby's heartbeat. You will also be checked for Group B Streptococcus (GBS) around week 34 or 35.
I am in my late 30s and want to get pregnant. Should I do anything special?
There is an increased risk for complications for women who conceive in their late 30s or even 40s. It is always best to discuss your pregnancy plans with your doctor, so they can provide you with specific information regarding conception at a later age. Remaining diligent about your prenatal appointments and undergoing additional screenings can help ensure you have a healthy pregnancy, regardless of your age.
Where can I receive reduced-cost prenatal care?
There are many programs available for expectant mothers to receive help paying for important prenatal care. You can call 1-800-311-BABY (2229) to contact your local Health Department to inquire about local programs you may qualify for.
If you are pregnant or plan to be and are seeking exceptional medical care that can help you and your baby stay as healthy as possible, contact Evergreen Pediatrics today to schedule your first prenatal appointment.

With the end-of-year rush now behind us, we're looking back at the best games of 2019. this list encompasses all platforms to provide a more complete look at this year's top reviewed games. Below you'll find all 10 games released in 2019. (Games aren't in order from best to worst.)
Score: 9/10 | Developer: Square Enix | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One
In the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3, Square did a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of these Disney worlds while giving us a massive toolbox for battles and exploration. It's so cool seeing so many characters from throughout this series interact in new ways and rekindle old bonds. Kingdom Hearts 3 is full of heart and is a fulfilling evolution and resolution of the franchise.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: Respawn | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Apex Legends makes squad-based battle royale work better than thought possible, even when playing with a randomly matched team. Its intuitive communication system makes strategic teamplay achievable without a word, and the eight unique legends each have cool abilities that are rewarding. The fascinating sci-fi map leads to tense encounters filled with all of the pristine gunplay and polish from the Titanfall series, and its free-to-play setup doesn't pressure you to pay to keep up.
Score: 10/10 | Developer: Gearbox | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC, Stadia
If Borderlands 3 is what happens when a modern looter shooter doesn't concern itself with the longevity of its item economy and daily quests, then you can sign me up for Borderlands 4 right now. Being untethered from persistent servers and able to trade loot at will is a refreshing change of pace, but that's hardly the only reason why this such an amazing co-op FPS. The sheer magnitude and diversity of its arsenal of fun and surprising weaponry are unmatched, and the striking amount of loving detail and variety packed into its energetic and replayable 30-hour campaign is what makes Borderlands 3 a high-point for the series – and the genre as a whole.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: Capcom | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
Capcom did a fantastic job of resurrecting all the best parts of the classic Resident Evil 2 and making them look, sound, and play like a 2019 game. If you're of the mind that the series had lost its way for a while there, this game is very much a return to form. The zombie combat is satisfying and exploring the dilapidated ruins of Raccoon City is a thrill. This establishes a new standard for remaking classic games.
Score: 10/10 | Developer: Respawn | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
It's been ages since we got a great single-player Star Wars action game, but Jedi: Fallen Order makes up for a lot of lost time. A strong cast sells a dark story while keeping things fun and loyal to Star Wars lore, and fast, challenging combat mixes with energetic platforming, decent puzzles, and diverse locations to explore for an all-around amazing game.
Score: 10/10 | Developer: Game Freak | Platform(s): Switch
Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield are closer to my dream Pokemon RPGs than anything that's come before. I'd still like better cutscenes, companion Pokemon, the complete Pokedex, and a more visually interesting Wild Area, but nitpicks are just not very effective when everything else was such a complete joy to play. The way they respect my time is wonderful, and the removal of monotony from random encounters and other odds and ends distills it down to only the pure and charming fun of capturing, training and battling wonderful creatures. And hey, if I'm missing any tedious repetition, I can always get back into breeding.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: Massive Entertainment | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC
The Division 2 is a refined and intuitive shared-world shooter. Its wonderful recreation of Washington, D.C. is a pleasure to explore thanks to a generous amount of chests, collectibles, and dynamic open-world activities. Plus, the campaign is full of great gunplay and missions. The Division 2 was one of the strongest launches the shared-world shooter genre has seen yet.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: The Coalition | Platform(s): Xbox One, PC
To be clear, it's not surprising at all that Gears 5 is an excellent third-person action game. This iconic series has never really had a misfire, even when changing hands from original developer Epic to The Coalition, and the hot streak remains unbroken. What was unexpected is just how effectively it doubles down on story with a character-focused, consequence-filled tale that plays to one of the franchise's most underappreciated strengths and backs it up with fun, welcome additions to both its gameplay formula and flow. And that's just the campaign: add in a heavy-hitting multiplayer lineup of Versus, Versus Arcade, Horde, and Escape and it makes Gears 5 one of the best and most versatile action-game packages in recent memory.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: Nintendo | Platform(s): Switch
It's hard to decide where to begin when talking about all the things we love about Super Mario Maker 2. It does nearly everything better than its already excellent predecessor, introducing some incredible new ideas, building items, and so much more — all while maintaining the charm of Mario games we know and love. It's the most accessible game design tool ever created and the Story Mode is a great excuse to play through hundreds of novel, professionally made levels.
Score: 9/10 | Developer: NetherRealm | Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PCMortal Kombat 11 is as good as it is gory. Everything from its methodical and deep combat to its fantastically absurd story mode and its rock-solid net code, right down to its extraordinarily comprehensive tutorial is exceptional. This series continues to prove that there's real fighting depth beyond its notoriously gory Fatalities, and this one, in particular, stands out as a spine-ripping good time.

Q: Algorithm: How to Sort elements of matrix with space constraint I am trying to understand the best possible way to solve this based on the constraints that are given. We have a matrix of numbers where each row is sorted. Our result should list all these elements in sorted order.
Example:
Input:
20  40  80
5   60  90
45  50  55
output:
5 20 40 45 50 55 60 80 90

Constraint : You are only allowed to hold 1 row at a time
Possible Solutions:
1) Use array, put all elements in array and sort them -> o(n) space for array and o(n log n) time for sorting. But this used extra memory so the constraint is really not getting fulfilled.
2) Use priority queue. Put all elements in priority queue and remove to get elements in sorted order. Again this uses o(n) space but we have better time complexity i.e. o(log n)
I am not able to understand the fact that how we can solve it with given constraint. Can someone please advise if I am missing something. It looks difficult to solve it with the given constraint.

A: Use a priority queue. The size of this queue should be size of rows you have.
Then, insert fist elements from each row firstly.
Secondly, retrieve min value from priority queue, then insert a new element from the same line that the element you just retrieved comes from.
Thirdly, keep doing this, you get your result.
This does have a caveat though. Your constraint is keep space with in size of column. here I use space of size of row.  But I think this is fair.
Think about this, if you have 2 columns and 1M rows, using an array with size 2 won't help at all.

Brooks: Minneapolis police union chief goes out with a whimper

Purchase: Order Reprint
As bullets rained down from the Las Vegas hotel, Josh Decker and his girlfriend dropped to the ground. Just out of arm's reach and covered with blood was a Minnesota man who was Decker's best friend.
He couldn't save him. Decker learned Tuesday afternoon that his friend — Steve Berger, a father of three young children, is among those confirmed dead after a shooter's rampage killed 59 people and wounded more than 500 at a country music concert.
For three days, family and friends waited to know whether Berger was among the living or the dead. The wait was excruciating as his father, Richard Berger, sat near the phone in his Milwaukee suburban home. He and his family had called "every number" imaginable, including the FBI and other federal officials, in search of answers.
His son had flown to Las Vegas with friends to celebrate his 44th birthday. He and his Minnesota friends enjoyed the Vegas atmosphere during the day and then headed to the three-day Route 91 Harvest music festival at night.
As Jason Aldean took the stage, the crowd was "amped up," Decker said. A barrage of cracks boomed behind him. "Pop. Pop. Pop," he recalled.
Thinking it was an excited fan letting off firecrackers, Decker turned to look. Commotion erupted and "a lot of the crowd was falling down."
., EFS Advisors
Steve Berger, a financial adviser in the Twin Cities with EFS Advisors, is a father of three kids ages 8, 11 and 15.
"It was like dominoes," Decker said. "Someone fell and hit someone else, and then someone else fell. I didn't understand why. And then I saw blood."
Decker and those near him dropped to the ground. There was no immediate escape. "There was a mass of people and you couldn't go anywhere. We kept our heads down."
Decker looked in search of Berger. He also was on the ground — motionless. He was unconscious and bleeding profusely, Decker said. "He was covered in his own blood."
Decker held his girlfriend's hand amid the sounds of screams, cries and gunfire. "There was no way to communicate with anyone except the person right next to you," Decker said.
"It sounded like a machine gun," he said. A barrage of gunfire rang out. Then it stopped only to start again, he said.
No one dared to move, fearing "you're going to be the next one to be hit by a bullet," Decker said. "Many minutes" passed before Decker and others began to crawl in search of safety.
On hands and knees they edged up against a metal barricade, making themselves as small and unobtrusive as possible. "We really didn't know where the bullets were coming from."
He now knows they came from above and behind — 32 floors up at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, where the gunman blasted into the concert crowd.
Decker called out to get medical help for his friend while three people worked to revive him. "One person was blowing into his mouth, another was pumping his chest and someone else was putting pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding."
Decker screamed for an ambulance, for more medical help. But the ambulances weren't coming because there was still an "active shooter," he said. A man, identifying himself as a former Marine, told Decker to leave. He was in the line of fire and he couldn't help Berger anymore.
Decker and his girlfriend ran to the back of the concert venue as a SWAT team moved in, yelling for them to take cover.
Behind them motionless bodies and debris were scattered across the venue. It was eerie. "No one was crying out. It was just very quiet."
Moments after it was confirmed Tuesday that Berger was dead, Decker struggled to talk about his friend, whom he has known since 1991 when they were roommates at St. Olaf College. They work together at EFS Advisors, a financial company.
The emotion is raw; the horrific sights and sounds of a shooter's rampage seared into his memory.
"The sound of gunfire is stuck in my head," Decker said. Watching video of that night is difficult. "I watched my friend die in front of me," he said. When he ran from the scene, he knew in his head that his friend was dead, but "my heart hoped he was alive."
Berger, who grew up in Wauwatosa, Wis., lived in the Twin Cities, and was the father of three kids ages 8, 11 and 15.
Marcio Jose Sanchez, Associated Press
Investigators walk through debris on festival grounds across the street from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino after Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas.
"He was charismatic, full of energy and breathed life into every room. He was always so positive," Decker said. "He was larger than life to me."
Meanwhile, family and friends of Minnesota native Philip Aurich continued to wait on news from Las Vegas.
Aurich is listed in critical condition after he was shot during the Saturday rampage. Sheila Aurich, who is married to Philip's brother, said her brother-in-law opened his eyes and was breathing on his own after a second surgery Monday night. In an earlier surgery, doctors removed his spleen and part of his colon. He also suffered a collapsed lung and a ruptured diaphragm.
Aurich, 36, lives in Las Vegas and is the father of two daughters. He is a 1999 graduate of Concordia Academy in Roseville, where his father is a teacher and coach. He was at the Jason Aldean concert with his girlfriend, who was not injured.

Q: Store third party services login/password in database My .NET Core application requires connections to a number of third party services.
Some of these services use login/password credentials, and this is a problem.
Application is cross-platform (Windows/Linux) and "cross-database" one (out of the box it works with MS SQL and PostgreSQL, and this can be extended). In fact, it's a Windows service, when working in Windows, and a daemon, when working in Linux.
For scalability purposes it's OK to run several application instances. Because of this, application settings, including credentials, are stored in database.
The question is how to avoid storing passwords as clear text.
I can't use any platform-specific solutions like ProtectedData or Credential Manager. I can't store hashed passwords as well, because they will be validated by third-party services. Theoretically, I can use some db-specific code to encrypt/decrypt passwords, if database servers have such ability.
Any suggestions?

A: Probably you will not be able to do so as the third party services would need to change their implementations - maybe you could use asymmetric encryption? You will encrypt the password with public key of particular party and store it that way in DB. Each party will decrypt it and then check credentials.
However as I said, probably you can't do it that way :) but I am now aware of any "cross-database" encryption
Other way - maybe store password in environment variable? (both windows and linux supports it)

BCODN December 2022 Newsletter
Posted on January 16, 2023 January 16, 2023 by jeremy
BCODN Dec 2022 Newsletter
Season's greetings to the entire BCODN network! Writing this from a small rural town with nearly three feet of snow on a December morning, I am reminded of our regional and personal diversity. Our network has expanded well beyond the Lower Mainland, and I am mindful of this as the 2022-2023 board plans for the future.
Historically in June, BCODN welcomes new board members for alternating two-year terms. Some board members step down while others step up, enabling sustainable turnover. This year was different. The impact of enduring over two years of a global pandemic was a complete board turnover due to re-evaluation of personal priorities and sheer exhaustion.
I was inspired by those who stepped forward in the face of a leadership crisis and chose to extend my two-year term to fill the role of president amidst a group of appointed board members who are passionate, uniquely experienced, and supportive. We are a much smaller board than usual, but we are mighty in our desire to share the power of organization development through connection and collaboration.
To pull ourselves out from the crisis, we focused on identifying and letting go of unhelpful patterns. We knew we had to move forward in a way that cultivated energy instead of consuming it. Our first step was to connect with past board members, celebrate contributions, and facilitate a transfer of knowledge and wisdom. On October 1, we hosted A Thread Through Time: Connecting the Past to the Future – an event that brought over 20 past board members together to share experiences from BCODN's 30 year history! This was our first in-person event since February 2020.
The regenerative energy and the knowledge and wisdom that were shared, were absolute gifts. By the end of the day, the board walked away with a clear mandate to: 1) Strengthen what is valued, 2) Pause to go smart; and 3) Ask & clarify so that our members enjoy growth, relationships & community, OD, organizational stability, and positive experiences.
What became clear to us, was the need to Do OD together, to help our organization thrive. The goal for June 2023 is to have a full turn-out and successful election at the AGM, and to present a 3-year strategic plan for BCODN that is informed by the BCODN Community. To accomplish this, the board is focused on engaging our network through an Appreciative Inquiry (AI) process that includes virtual and in-person participation. This is an opportunity for our members to experience the AI approach to strategic planning. Wherever you are in the province, we would love for you to be part of the process to collectively determine our future priorities. I'm excited to see what emerges!
"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about."
– Margaret Wheatley
Another key theme that emerged from Oct 1 Board event was Celebrate Achivement. In keeping with this, we are celebrating 20 years of Building Community Organizations (BCO)! BCO has been a flagship program of BCODN for 20 years and we are celebrating in April. All past (and even future) volunteer consultants, mentors, non-profit organization participants, and BCO committee members are invited to an evening of reflection and appreciation. I know it's going to be an amazing year for Building Community Organizations. We have a strong committee leading this work, and they welcome those who would like to Do OD and help plan the celebration. Email bco@bcodn.org for details.
In addition to Do-ing OD to support our own sustainability, the events calendar on our website is full of OD-related learning opportunities and community connections. Check it out here. We are leveraging what exists in our ecosystem to provide membership value now and into the future, and encourage you to take advantage of some amazing learning and networking opportunities. BCODN membership includes ODN membership event discounts, as well as discounted registration with Human Systems Dynamics Institute. We also have members who are stepping forward to create community connections. If you are in the Vancouver area on December 29th, check out the Community Connections invitation from Rishabh and Peter. I hope to see you there! If you have an idea you would like to bring to life to benefit the OD community in your neighborhood, let us know.
Contact info@bcodn.org for more information on membership and opportunities for you to get involved in sharing the power of OD.
Take care, be well, and may this shortest day of the year be symbolic of our brighter days ahead.

The most striking features of the Respira Gel Pad is its new gel structure and innovative, horizontal airflow pattern. In contrast to the previous, quite massive Air Release structure, this new gel design provides a multitude of little bulges with lateral holes permitting an even more effective, horizontally directed air cicrculation and increased shock absorption. Besides creating a cushion effect every time they are compressed, the bulges generate a flow of refreshing air that keeps the back of the horse cooler and drier. Moreover, the new open bulge structure has enabled Acavallo to use less material, resulting in a substantial decrease of the gel pad weight (almost 20% less compared to previous Air Release pads).
Available in one size in Black or Clear.


The beauty of the poem is that, contrary to common interpretation, Frost never championed one choice over the other. The final panel in the strip sums it all up.
It does not matter which road you take; any choice could be better or worse than the other. And if, in the end, both lead to the same destination, then the initial choice is inconsequential.
The only thing here is the fact that sometimes you have to make a choice and let the other option remain unexplored.
Once you choose a road, it leads to another and so on. This multitude of choices at every juncture makes it almost impossible to come back and examine the left out option.
Consider the comic strip; once the guy decides to go to the University instead of travelling, he has eliminated the other possibility. He gets a good job and meets a cute girl at a pub, gets married, has kids and so on. He cannot go back to Brazil to meet another (equally attractive girl), become a chef etc.
And so is the other way round.
But in the final panels, he is old, alone, but content. And that is what matters.

Exploring "The Color of Food" – A book and website by Natasha Bowens
November 29, 2016 Kara Martin Leave a comment
The Color of Food by Natasha Bowens (New Society Publishers) is the result of the author's multimedia project launched in 2010 to share and amplify stories of food sovereignty in communities of color. It uses stories and photographs to tell stories of farmers and explore and document the relationships between race and food. The Color of Food tells stories of individuals, their experiences with issues ranging from crop loss to farmworkers' rights, connecting lives with the food sovereignty movement through firsthand storytelling and observation. A central aim is to serve as an outlet for the voices of people of color in food and farming. As the author says, "If we cannot see and hear from our communities, we will not have a food system free of racial inequalities."
The web-based companion (http://thecolorofood.com/projects/) to the book provides resources for food systems planners, workers, researchers, and anyone else interested exploring issues of race, food sovereignty, and inequality within the food system. It includes an online (free) map and directory of people of color leading food and farming businesses, including farms, farmers markets, and other organizations, as well as a photo blog. Recent posts include pieces from CivilEats about a resurgence of black farmers in Texas and how the food movement can learn from #blacklivesmatter. Another central feature of the online site is the Color of Food Speakers Collective – a list of people working in farming, education, activism, food justice, and other realms, available to speak at events and for organizations on a range of issues, intertwining racial disparities in the food movement, the importance of preserving culture and building community, and personal stories.
Connection to food systems planning
Topics of food justice, food equity, and "food deserts" have become increasingly visible throughout food systems planning and policy work, yet many of the people most directly (and often indirectly) impacted by these issues are not visible or do not control the systems that result in disparities. Addressing inequity in the food system is a priority of a substantial portion of food systems planning and policy work these days and The Color of Food, the website, and speaker collective can serve as a forum and resource for exploring issues of race, equity, access, and justice. They can help planners deepen our understanding of the impact of the dominant food system on communities of color and the impact of food planning and policy on communities. It can be frustrating, disheartening, and difficult to take on issues of race, class, and social injustice, but as planners who believe in equity – or any type of planners at all, we must. As Eric Holt-Gimenez, Executive Director of Food First put it recently in a post on CivilEats, in order to have a restorative food system, we must first tackle racism, and doing that shouldn't be seen as "extra work" but rather "the" work.

How to Conduct a Community Food System Assessment- A New Guide for Planners
December 18, 2015 December 17, 2015 Kara Martin Leave a comment
APA's current PAS (Planning Advisory Service) Memo focuses on how planners can conduct or support a community in a community food system assessment. A community food system assessment provides a comprehensive tool to identify the assets and barriers for a community's food system. Conducted at the neighborhood, city, or even regional level, this assessment tool offers a systems approach that provides planners and the community ways to identify issues and solutions, engage the community, and inform policy-making. The Community Food System Assessments (Nov/Dec 2015) Memo, by Kara Martin and Tammy Morales, includes examples of assessments, resources, and a case study on Buffalo, New York to demonstrate how various communities have used this tool.
The Memo is just one of APA's many resources focused on food system planning. The 2008 PAS Report, Planners Guide to Community and Regional Food Planning (PAS 554), by Samina Raja, Branden Born and Jessica Kozlowski Russell, is particularly helpful for understanding how planners play a role in the food environment. The policy report, Planning for Food Access and Community-Based Food Systems: A National Scan and Evaluation of Local Comprehensive and Sustainability Plans by Kimberley Hodgson (2012), is useful for communities incorporating food access into their comprehensive plans or sustainability plans. Check out these and other APA's food system publications that can help you and your community in taking steps to building a healthy, equitable food system.

New Food Policy Database
October 30, 2014 November 7, 2014 kimhodgson Leave a comment
Growing Food Connections, a federally-funded research initiative to strengthen community food systems nationwide, recently released a database with over 100 newly adopted local government policies aimed to strengthen food systems. The Growing Food Connections Policy Database, hosted by the School of Architecture and Planning at the University at Buffalo, will assist local governments as they work to broaden access to healthy food and help sustain local farms and food producers.

> SEZ --The term special economic zone (SEZ) is commonly used as a generic term to refer to only one modern economic zone. In these zones business and trades laws differ from the rest of the country. -- Broadly, SEZs are located within a country's national borders. The aims of the zones include: increased trade, increased investment, job creation and effective administration. To encourage businesses to set up in the zone, financially libertarian policies are introduced. These policies typically regard investing, taxation, trading, quotas, customs and labour regulations. Additionally, companies may be offered tax holidays. --The creation of special economic zones by the host country may be motivated by the desire to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). The benefits a company gains by being in a Special Economic Zone may mean it can produce and trade goods at a globally competitive price. The operating definition of an economic zone is determined individually by AR7's of each country. In some countries the zones have been criticized for being little more than Chinese labor camps, where labor rights are denied for workers. --India was one of the first countries in Asia to recognize the effectiveness of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) model in promoting exports, with Asia's first EPZ set up in Kandla in 1965. In order to overcome the shortcomings experienced on account of the multiplicity of controls and clearances; absence of world-class infrastructure, and an unstable fiscal regime and with a view to attract larger foreign investments in India, the Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Policy was announced in April 2000. **--The objectives of SEZs can be explained as** --Generation of additional economic activity; --Promotion of exports of goods and services; --Promotion of investment from domestic and foreign sources; --Creation of employment opportunities; --Development of infrastructure facilities. **The incentives and facilities available to SEZ developers include:** --Exemption from customs/excise duties for development of SEZs for authorized operations approved by the BOA. --Income Tax exemption on income derived from the business of development of the SEZ in a block of 10 years in 15 years under --Section 80-IAB of the Income Tax Act. --Exemption from minimum alternate tax under Section 115 JB of the Income Tax Act. --Exemption from dividend distribution tax under Section 115O of the Income Tax Act. --Exemption from Central Sales Tax (CST). --Exemption from Service Tax (Section 7, 26 and Second Schedule of the SEZ Act).

Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a specifically delineated duty-free enclave and shall be deemed to be foreign territory for the purposes of trade operations and duties and tariffs. In other words, SEZ is a geographical region that has economic laws different from a country's typical economic laws.
sowmya answered over 4 years ago
Haii DEFINITION of 'Special Economic Zone - SEZ' Designated areas in countries that possess special economic regulations that are different from other areas in the same country. Moreover, these regulations tend to contain measures that are conducive to foreign direct investment. Conducting business in a SEZ usually means that a company will receive tax incentives and the opportunity to pay lower tariffs. A legislation has been passed permitting SEZs to offer tax breaks to foreign investors. Over half a decade has passed since its inception, but the SEZ Bill has certain drawbacks due to the omission of key provisions that would have relaxed rigid labour rules. This has lessened India's chance of emulating the success of the Chinese SEZ model, through foreign direct investment (FDI) in export-oriented manufacturing.

> **Special Economic Zone** The term special economic zone (SEZ) is commonly used as a generic term to refer to any modern economic zone. It is a geographical region that has economic laws that are more liberal than a country's typical economic laws. An SEZ is a trade capacity development tool, with the goal to promote rapid economic growth by using tax and business incentives to attract foreign investment and technology. Moreover SEZ's provide a medium wherein it not only attracts foreign companies looking for cheaper and efficient location to setup their offshore business, but it also allows the local industries to improve their export through a proper channel and with the help of the new foreign partners to the outside world at a very competitive price. The SEZ's are important in today's context for the third world countries which have been in the race for rapid economic growth. There are many positives which emerge out of establishing an SEZ. Let us have a look on these factors.

In other words, SEZ is a geographical region that has economic laws different from a country's typical economic laws. Usually the goal is to increase foreign investments. SEZs have been established in several countries, including China, India, Jordan, Poland, Kazakhstan, Philippines and Russia. North Korea has also attempted this to a degree.

Version 2.6 of ProgRes CapturePro
Jenoptik has launched Version 2.6 of its CapturePro image acquisition software for ProgRes microscope cameras. Version 2.6 offers a series of functions and enhancements that make camera operation easier:
An annotation function allows markers and text to be inserted in a previously acquired image. They will be saved as 'overlays', in order to be available for modification at any time – or for hard insertion into an image where required.
The selection tool has been improved for convenient selection of any previously inserted elements (e.g. annotations or measurements) within an image.
A 'drag indicator' has been added to the focus tool, in order to facilitate finding the optimal focus setting.
In the case of time-lapse imaging, you can select a replay frequency for previously stored video files.
Measuring functions have been revised so even names as long as 37 characters can be assigned to a set of calibration data.
The status line now facilitates direct access to important functions, for example, direct selection of shading reference files. Several reference files can now be created, saved and easily selected for each individual ProgRes microscope camera.
Settings from the preceding 2.5 Version are automatically adopted to remain available for continued use in CapturePro 2.6.
ProgRes CapturePro supports all current ProgRes camera systems. It is available both for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems with immediate effect.

The aim if this project is to develop effective interaction between the robot E-2? and people at an exhibition to convince them to be escorted to the home booth. Since the robot can hardly speak, but cannot understand anything, given the application context and the current technology, most of the interaction relies on gestures and movements of the robot.
E-2? has a kinect system on the head and this is the main source of information for this project.
The implementation will include libraries from the ROS community, together with reasoning modules both to make the collection of information more robust that with the vision algorithms only, and to select the best actions to do in the different situations.
The gestual interaction will play an important role both in the approaching phase, in the convincing phase and in the escorting phase.
