Q: Make parent object not appearing within session.dirty of before_flush event listener I have been playing around with SQLAlchemy and found out that I cannot track reliably what is being changed within database.
I have created an example that explains what my concern is:
import re
import datetime

from sqlalchemy import create_engine

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import (
    declarative_base,
    declared_attr,
    )

from sqlalchemy import (
    create_engine,
    event,
    Column,
    Boolean,
    Integer,
    String,
    Unicode,
    DateTime,
    Index,
    ForeignKey,
    CheckConstraint,
    )

from sqlalchemy.orm import (
    scoped_session,
    sessionmaker,
    Session,
    relationship,
    backref,
    )

import transaction

from zope.sqlalchemy import ZopeTransactionExtension

class ExtendedSession(Session):
    my_var = None

DBSession = scoped_session(
    sessionmaker(extension=ZopeTransactionExtension(),
        class_=ExtendedSession
        )
    )

class BaseModel(object):
    query = DBSession.query_property()

    id = Column(
        Integer,
        primary_key=True,
        )

    @declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):
        class_name = re.sub(r"([A-Z])", r"_\1", cls.__name__).lower()[1:]
        return "{0}".format(
            class_name,
            )

Base = declarative_base(cls=BaseModel)

def initialize_sql(engine):
    DBSession.configure(bind=engine)
    Base.metadata.bind = engine

engine = create_engine("sqlite://")
initialize_sql(engine)

class Parent(Base):
    # *** Columns
    col1 = Column (
        String,
        nullable=False,
        )
    # *** Relationships
    # *** Methods
    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Parent(id: '{0}', col1: '{1}')>".format(
            self.id,\
            self.col1,\
            )

class Child(Base):
    # *** Columns
    col1 = Column (
        String,
        nullable=False,
        )
    parent_id = Column (
        Integer,
        ForeignKey (
            Parent.id,
            ondelete="CASCADE",
            ),
        nullable=False,
        )
    # *** Relationships
    parent = relationship (
        Parent,
        backref=backref(
            "child_elements",
            uselist=True,
            cascade="save-update, delete",
            lazy="dynamic",
            ),
        # If below is uncommented then instance of Parent won't appear in session.dirty
        # However this relationship will never be loaded (even if needed)
        #lazy="noload",
        )
    # *** Methods
    def __repr__(self):
        return "<Child(id: '{0}', col1: '{1}', parent_id: '{2}')>".format(
            self.id,\
            self.col1,\
            self.parent_id,\
            )

@event.listens_for(DBSession, 'before_flush')
def before_flush(session, flush_context, instances):
    time_stamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

    if session.new:
        for elem in session.new:
            print(" ### NEW {0}".format(repr(elem)))

    if session.dirty:
        for elem in session.dirty:
            print(" ### DIRTY {0}".format(repr(elem)))

    if session.deleted:
        for elem in session.deleted:
            print(" ### DELETED {0}".format(repr(elem)))

Base.metadata.drop_all(engine)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)

with transaction.manager:
    parent = Parent(col1="parent")
    DBSession.add(parent)
    DBSession.flush()

    # Below loop is to demonstrate that
    # each time child object is created and linked to parent
    # parent is also marked as modified
    # how to avoid that?
    # or optionally is it possible to detect this in before_flush event
    # without issuing additional SQL query?
    for i in range(0, 10):
        parent=Parent.query.filter(Parent.col1 == "parent").first()
        child = Child(col1="{0}".format(i))
        child.parent = parent
        DBSession.add(child)
        DBSession.flush()

    # Below update will not cause associated instance of Parent appearing in session.dirty
    child = Child.query.filter(Child.col1=="3").first()
    child.col1="updated"
    DBSession.add(child)
    DBSession.flush()

In short - there are two objects:

*

*Parent

*Child - linked to Parent

Each time I add new instance of Child and link it with instance of Parent that instance of Parent also appears within session.dirty of before_flush event.
SQLAlchemy community adviced this behavior is expected (although I think there must be an option to change default behavior - I could not find it within doco)
So here is my question: is it possible to configure relationship such way that when I add a new instance of Child and link it to instance of Parent then that instance of Parent won't appear within session.dirty?
I have tried setting relationship as lazy="noload" and it is not an option since I may need to use that relationship (so I may need to load it)
I would also accept a solution that would allow me to detect that Parent have not been changed within before_load event handler - however I do not want to trigger additional query to achieve this.
I would appreciate your help,
Greg

A: After hours of research and a hint from SQLAlchemy community I found solution that seems to work the way I need (notice additional condition within session.dirty block).
@event.listens_for(DBSession, 'before_flush')
def before_flush(session, flush_context, instances):
    time_stamp = datetime.datetime.utcnow()

    if session.new:
        for elem in session.new:
            print(" ### NEW {0}".format(repr(elem)))

    if session.dirty:
        for elem in session.dirty:
            # Below check was added to solve the problem
            if ( session.is_modified(elem, include_collections=False) ):
                print(" ### DIRTY {0}".format(repr(elem)))

    if session.deleted:
        for elem in session.deleted:
            print(" ### DELETED {0}".format(repr(elem)))

The documentation related to my solution can be found here: http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/orm/session_api.html#sqlalchemy.orm.session.Session.is_modified
In short - specifying include_collections=False within session.is_modified makes SQLAlchemy to ignore situations where multivalued collections have been changed (in my case if child was changed then parent would be filtered out by that additional check).

Www.freehostingnoads.net is a website host offering several website hosting plans including a free one. This website was launched in 2010.
Below you will see the main hosting features offered in the free plan available at freehostingnoads.net.
As you can see from the table displayed above, this web hosting plan offers 20 GB web space and 200 GB monthly bandwidth. In addition, it also comes with a restriction on the number of daily visitors to your site. It only allows up to 1000 unique visitors to the free hosted site. This rule makes building a site with heavy web traffic with this free plan impossible. So, if you plan to build a popular and big website, this hosting service may not be right for you.
Users of this site hosting service will also get free email accounts. It supports both POP3 mail and web-based mail. In total, 3 email accounts are offered without additional charge.
They also include a free site builder in this package. Why would you need a website builder?
The key reason is that often creating a new web site is much easier utilizing a web-site builder, although it is possible to make a website yourself by html coding each web page by hand. However, building a site from scratch is extremely difficult if you don't know the HTML language, and is not easy even for professional web site developers. Making a new web site is less difficult if you have use tools such as a drag-and-drop web site builder. So a free site building tool should be considered as a plus for a hosting plan.
This plan supports PHP5 and MySQL database. It offers 3 MySQL databases at no additional cost. To help you install your application easily, they also include a script installer in the service. This is a good feature for people who would like to setup a website based on WordPress, Joomla, phpBB or other scripts.
The freehostingnoads' free website hosting plan is not supported by advertisements. This might be welcomed by many webmasters. Free hosting service providers usually support their webhosting plans through mandatory ads. Text link ads, banner ads or popup ads are commonly seen on free hosted websites. But that is not the case for this website because their service might be financially supported by members' purchase of their paid services.
In conclusion, webmasters who want to create a HTML, WordPress, Joomla website using a free hosting service, might be interested in the offers on freehostingnoads.net.
How reliable is their web server? To find the answer to this question, you may see freehostingnoads.net reviews written by its users.

For most modern moms, giving birth is still one of the most intimidating things about parenthood. But add those nerves and the 'unknown' factor to a remote setting in the woods without running water, and things are even more intense.
But for moms who choose to live off the grid, that's exactly how they want it. People who ditch the city life are often in search of something simpler and more rugged, and giving birth without modern amenities definitely fits the lifestyle!
Of course, not every mom who winds up having a baby in the wilderness planned it that way. But whatever she intended, many mamas have to adapt to their environments when preparing to welcome their babies.
And things can and do go wrong no matter where moms have their little ones. But the truth is that being so far from suburbia isn't necessarily a good thing when it comes to getting professional help or finding what moms need to care for their babies.
After all, in most cases, there's no delivery service to rural cabins or lactation help at the local outpost.
Here's a glimpse into the wild ways of off-grid moms with 20 ways their childbirth experiences might be different from that of "urban" moms.
For the mamas who fall pregnant after moving off-grid, odds are the care she's getting is pretty rudimentary. For one thing, there just aren't a whole lot of ultrasound machines sprouting out of trees, and she'll be hard-pressed to find a clinic where she can get prenatal vitamins in the middle of the woods.
And no ultrasound means very little practical idea of what to expect! Sure, moms can wind up with twins (or higher order multiples), but they also don't know whether they're expecting a boy or girl. They also don't know if there's something wrong with the baby health-wise.
If you've ever had to waddle down a long hallway or up a flight of stairs while pregnant, feel free to take a seat. Moms who are pregnant off the grid may have to trek miles to receive prenatal care, even if there is a midwife who services their local area. Imagine literally hiking through the woods to meet with your midwife!
And speaking of midwives, that's going to be most mamas' only option when it comes to the delivery. There are no hospitals to speak of when you're off-grid and living your best natural life, which means no full-service hospital birth!
Although plenty of modern moms dislike being interrupted while trying to bond with their new babies, there are benefits to birthing in a hospital or birth center. Moms with fewer amenities in their birth suites (like running water, in some cases!), however, may lament the lack of assistance during and directly after childbirth.
When you're living off-grid and have a birth at home, there are no lactation support staff making the rounds, or nurses just outside the door who will respond with the press of a button. It's unlikely you'll have any help, really, unless it's your partner or other children who can bring you things or help get you comfy.
There's nothing wrong with home births, of course, but for moms off-grid, it could be that their only labor and delivery team is their partner! Lots of moms plan unassisted births, which mean there is no medically-trained staff present. And when you're in a remote location awaiting the arrival of your baby, unassisted might just be the only way you can birth!
But that also means dad will probably be worried about mom! He'll be responsible for the other kids, if they already have some, and he'll also be in charge of cleaning up, prepping meals, and trying to do whatever he can to make his partner feel empowered and safe.
For a lot of first-time moms, it's common to have the nurses or midwives walk her through everything. After all, if it's your first time having a baby, it doesn't matter how many books you've read on the subject — you won't really know how it works or feels until you experience it!
But that doesn't mean instincts aren't at play. In fact, they're the only thing moms can rely on when they're in the middle of the wilderness with only their hubby by their side. And although hospitals and birth centers are an option for a reason, there's no denying that a mom's instincts play a part in getting her baby here safely.
Some mamas swear by an epidural during childbirth. For lots of us, it can help us manage contractions better, relax in between surges, and even take a nap if that's what we need. But in an off-the-grid birth? That's not part of the package!
Instead, mamas who birth off-grid have to rely on other techniques like breathing, hypnobirthing, or any manner of other tactics to get them to focus on the process rather than the pain. Of course, meditation and other mindful practices can help, but let's be honest, there's nothing like an epidural to really take the edge off.
In hospitals and birth centers, everything in the birth kit is either single-use or able to be sanitized. At home, though? We're pretty sure that even though the kids might try to eat off the kitchen floor, it's probably not that clean, which is bad news for a mama who winds up laboring in her off-grid bathroom! It's tough to sanitize your birth equipment, even if you're super prepared beforehand! You'll need to boil any tools (like scissors for cutting the umbilical cord!), make sure you have clean, dry towels on hand, and have something to tie the umbilical cord with (and that should be sanitary, too). Not impossible, no — but challenging in an off-grid home!
One of the things that off-grid families often deal with more than us suburbanites is wild animals. Whether it's raccoons getting into the garbage or bears scavenging for leftovers, people who live off-grid are often in areas where animals are the majority. And because birth can be a bit messy, cleaning up afterward is even more important.
Animals are often attracted to food smells, and to some animals, childbirth remnants and fluids can smell like a meal. It's super gross, yes, but it's a reality that families have to live with when they're neighbors with families of furry (and hungry) critters.
In lots of hospitals, birth centers, or even homebirth scenarios, moms can trust that their care teams have a pocket full of remedies for emergency situations. Whether a mom is in need of oxygen or some other intervention, it's nice to know that the midwife, nurse, or doctor can either order a script ASAP from the pharmacy downstairs or pull a bottle out of a bag.
Off-grid? There are no one-stop pharmacies down the hall from your birthing room, and there's no one to call in an emergency. So it falls on mom to prepare for any herbal or other remedies so she's ready if something goes wrong.
When you think of off-grid living, you might be picturing families running barefoot in fields of tall grasses. But for many families, they're living in the middle of Alaska or another wilderness area that is home to cold weather and tons of snow. In these cases, moms have to be even more careful when it comes time to give birth.
Babies need warmth, after all, so maintaining the home or birthing area temperature is crucial. But it's not as easy as flipping on the thermostat when you live off-grid. Mom (or hopefully dad or someone else!) will need to grab firewood to keep her living quarters comfy for the baby.
For moms who birth off-grid, it's nice to have a plan in place in case there's an emergency. But for some families, it's just too much risk to take the wait-and-see approach. Depending on how they feel about home birth and unassisted birth in general, off-grid mamas might choose to temporarily move their families closer to medical facilities.
It's a smart idea, yes, but it can also be challenging to find somewhere to stay while you wait for the baby to be born. And there's always the chance the kiddo will come while you're in transit! Either way, traveling with a newborn isn't ideal, but to get help, some mamas will have to do it.
One of the beautiful things about birthing today is moms can get literally everything they need to welcome a baby delivered to their doorstep. From the nursery furniture and decor to feeding products and baby clothes, retailers like Amazon deliver items within a day or two, and pregnant mamas never even have to leave the house.
But you know where we're going with this: off-grid mamas don't have the luxury of running to the local market, let alone shopping online for quick delivery of baby essentials. Instead, they have to start early and collect everything they'll need, which will often include hand-me-downs and refurbished goods.
One of the great things about off-grid or home births, in general, is everything can happen according to the mom and baby's schedule. When you're at home having your baby, no one will be rushing you along or suggesting interventions. And yes, interventions have their place, but with a normal healthy birth, plenty of moms enjoy staying home and relaxing while their bodies do what needs to be done.
And it's even more understandable that an off-grid mom will be even more relaxed about welcoming her baby. She might be doing some homestead chores while in early labor, or decide to birth outside on a whim — and it doesn't matter because there are no neighbors for miles!
Some families set up luxury off-grid homes with full amenities. Others tend to live simply and rely on more rustic setups. That could mean a composting toilet or an outhouse, rudimentary lighting systems with a single lightbulb or merely candlelight, an open-sided living structure or a full-scale cabin. Whatever moms' living conditions are, they need to stock up on whatever powers their home to ensure comfort and safety during a birth.
Off-grid moms will likely want a supply of batteries and candles so they're prepared for power outages (or just the normal lack of power!), fresh water for drinking and bathing the baby or cleaning equipment, and other basics that urban moms never even think twice about.
Lots of families go off-grid because they desire a simpler existence. For a lot of them, that might mean downsizing to an extreme. Whether it's a tiny house or a 200-square-foot cabin, lots of off-gridders tend to utilize a smaller amount of space — even if they have (growing) families.
So for a mom who needs space to labor, things could get a little cramped indoors. Moms might want to birth outside, or maybe her partner will even build her a special birth suite like the one pictured here. In some communities, "birth shacks" are really a thing — and while they don't exactly look like the Hilton, it's better than birthing in an open field, right?
A lot of off-grid families live as hunter-gatherers, while others start homesteading as a way of life. And for those who decide to raise cattle or other animals, grow their own crops, and do other chores like churning their own butter, the whole family will need to pitch in.
So if the family includes older kids along with the laboring mama, they'll probably be more involved in the birth — just like they're more involved in regular life at home. Kids can tackle lots of chores, but they may also be expected to support their mama while she's laboring, and they'll likely be there to see their little sibling born!
With my second child, the hospital he was born at had me sign one form, and then I picked up a birth certificate at my convenience a few weeks later. But off-grid moms don't have it quite that easy. Although many off-grid families intentionally don't register their children's births, those who do may struggle to get their applications approved.
Plenty of county registrars want proof of the baby's birth, whether via a signed affidavit from a witness or the actual birth video! Some places accept just seeing the infant themselves, but that's still a long trek to town for some off-grid moms. And those without a "real" address? It's even harder, if not impossible, to register your kiddo.
Although many people think of off-grid living as being in a small cabin or a tiny home, a lot of families go mobile instead. From actual recreational vehicles to custom-fitted vans or campers, many families add wheels to their rural homes. And when a woman is pregnant or a couple's children are young, it totally makes sense to live small and mobile.
For childbirth though? You might need to park that bus or van for a while! And it can be a challenge to find somewhere to settle down if you haven't before the labor starts. Plus, living in a van, you'll still need to maintain a water source, obtain heat and electricity, and make sure mom is safe.
When a mom lives off-grid and has a lot of chores to tend to, it's not always feasible to skip them until after the baby comes. It could be collecting eggs from the chickens or milking the cow(s), but whatever mom's regular duties at home, she—or someone else—will still need to take care of business.
That can make the actual labor feel a bit stressful, especially if there's a lot to do to maintain the family homestead or it's a season where crops need special attention or harvesting. There are many factors that influence what a mom's daily duties are, but there's really no pausing those!
Just as a mom's off-grid responsibilities don't subside just because she's in labor, the same applies to her postpartum time. Doctor's orders might be to rest for six weeks, but a mom who's off-grid and homesteading has a lot to get done! Besides, if she wants to eat or have water to drink or have heat for the home, she probably can't skip a whole lot of chores.
Thankfully, most moms don't move off-grid on their own, so it's likely she'll have some help from her partner or extended family. After all, even off-grid moms and their rugged lifestyles benefit from a bit of R&R right after having a baby!


If you had to start all over with K-2 math...what?
I am getting a do-over, too, with my youngest starting K in fall. I am going to use with her what I used with all my boys: Math Mammoth. I love the 1st and 2nd grade books. It teaches math facts so solidly that we've never had to do flash cards until multiplication, there's good mental math, and it just works really well. It is a workbook, but it's only one book to juggle. All of my kids so far have done well with it.
We went to pathway readers. The first grade set was too easy at that point but we really enjoyed them so we just did them quick and moved on to the second set.
What did you do after WWE3?
That's what we do, too, with three kids so far. Will be doing it again with my 4th next year.
My kids find Apologia general and physical science to be experiment heavy, but they are also Christian. Those are for 7th and 8th grades.
For the record, the book is very similar to posts Karen Glass has made on the AO forums about writing. So if you've read all her posts about her method, there might not be a ton new in the book, but it is more elaborate and the narration samples are helpful. But compared to the info on SCM, I find this way better.
I skipped right to that chapter and read it first. I might not even bother reading the rest of the book. :) Overall, I find her process of transitioning from narration to formal writing the best, most helpful I have found. I have read all I can find about this topic at SCM, and there just isn't enough information. Know and Tell has actual STEPS to follow. Like "once they master this, move on to this" type of thing, with general guidelines on how long to spend on each step. There's a clear goal from the beginning to the end. But, that said, the process is supposed to be non-formulaic, at the child's pace, and kind of fluid, so there are really no hard and fast rules. Even so, it's the best thing I've found on the topic. Somehow I muddled through it with my oldest, and he is now at the point of being able to write an essay per week, which is her goal in high school, but this will definitely be helpful for my next ones coming up. I've already started my 8th grader on reaching narration fluency, as she says, which is the first step. I hope that all made sense.
Does anyone use MEP math for high school?
Thought I would add some thoughts because I am the OP and I have a bit more experience now with this. I am actually using GCSE with my 10th grader right now, and I would say it is comparable to the 10th grade integrated math here in Canada (at least in my province). There are a number of algebra 2 topics that are missing from GCSE but there is more coverage of trig and statistics and other things. If you wanted to use MEP for high school, I would start with year 9 and do all of GCSE, and plan on doing algebra 2 afterwards, or at least partially, in order to cover the topics missed. I don't think I would use GCSE above 10th grade unless your student is not college bound.
How do you get anything done with puberty?!
She will find her way back. In the meantime, just help her out where she needs help. I've had two boys go through puberty and it seemed like they had good days and bad days. On a bad day, they couldn't remember how to narrate (!) or how to do long division, so then I just helped them through it. The next day, they might be fine and perfectly capable again. It gets better eventually.
What does independent reading time look like in your home?
This exactly. I don't assign reading at young ages either. Just provide good books and let them read for fun!
We pick passages on the fly. If we did science or history that day, I grab that lesson and pick something. If there's nothing good there, I pull out a Pathway reader or a Nature reader or any piece of literature the kid is currently reading, including read-alouds. Obviously, this way, we don't include the grammar suggestions in our passages, but we are usually on a slower grammar track than the book anyway.
Exploring the World of Physics is part of a series by the same author. They are all really good, so if he enjoys that one, he might like the others. My oldest adored Exploring the History of Medicine.
An all time favourite here is And the Word Came With Power. My kids also love Missionary Stories with the Millers.
What phonics workbook do I want?
Yes, there are dictionary skills in R&S spelling later. I really like ETC and have used them with all my kids, but I haven't ever looked at R&S phonics so I can't really compare. ETC is a good option for kids being mostly independent, too, because the pages repeat and they know what to do after seeing it a few times.
I use SOTW over again. They're so interesting and detailed; my older kids really enjoy them, too. We also mostly read and discuss, keep a wall timeline, and my older logic-stage kids sometimes use the material for writing assignments. Instead of map work, I have my younger ones look up locations on the globe.
Depending which Master Books course you choose, you don't have to do them 5x a week. One of mine did the Medicine and Biology set and the worksheets were short enough that he could read the chapter and complete the worksheet at the same time. It cuts it down to 3x a week or so. Just thought I would throw that into the mix.

The Morning Brew: Celebration turns to horror in France
Darla Slipke
Here are some news headlines to start your Friday morning.
France reeling after truck plows through crowd
[img width="" height="" style="" render="w620"]4345827[/img]
At least 84 people were killed and dozens more were injured Thursday night when a truck plowed into a crowd that was celebrating Bastille Day in the French city of Nice.
The driver died in a shootout with police after barreling through the crowd over a distance of more than a mile. Officials reported the truck was full of weapons and grenades, according to The New York Times.
French President François Hollande called for a defense council meeting Friday and announced he would put 10,000 soldiers on patrol to help police.
In a televised address early Friday, Hollande said: "The terrorist character (of the attack) cannot be denied."
France was less than two weeks away from ending a state of national emergency that was put into effect after the Nov. 13 terror attack in Paris, which left 130 people dead. Hollande said French authorities would extend the measure by three months.
Trump postpones Running Mate Announcement
Donald Trump said he has decided to delay announcing his pick for a vice presidential running mate because of the deadly attack in Nice.
Trump told Fox News on Thursday that he hadn't made his "final, final decision," but many expected he would name Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.
The Indianapolis Star reported Thursday that Pence was dropping his bid for re-election in Indiana to become Trump's running mate. Pence has until noon today to withdraw from the governor's race in order for Indiana Republicans to select a new candidate for the race.

Stalking Lolita! On singer Hana Malhas

Stalker played Rand Beiruty.
Clothes by Karen Millen, and select vintage pieces (jewelry and dresses) from Hana's mother.
Location Hana's grandmother's house, Amman, Jordan
Embarking a game of chase, she left her stalker's soul filled with rapture. Lolita was the name, and her admire was left to watch her from afar, as she played freely in her slingbacks, bright shades, pearls, and floral printed heart. . Obsession was the only rule that governed this game of the one-sided and creepy summer romance that My.Kali captured, leaving spectators with hints of a story their imagination would have to complete. How does one fall in love with Hana Malhas, the acoustic singer-songwriter, folk-pop artist?
And who would argue with our concept? The singer is everybody's crush, everybody's wishful-sin! She's the type you would fall for while waiting in line at the supermarket line, deeply and for seemingly no reason. You just want to lean in and smell her hair, follow her eyes, or feel her cupid lips. Yes, she's the type to stalk.
One of the first things Hana was concerned about was that people might perceive her in the wrong way, as the character she's she plays for My.Kali. She has an urge to remain loyal to her image and her music, and to show others the true Hana Malhas. But we are glad she agreed to play the part, because no one can act the part of "Lolita" better than her.
Hana is informal and comfortable with herself, and interviewing her was no hard task. One tea cup into the conversation, and we were already chatting effortlessly like old friends catching up. She has this natural ability to make you feel like an old friend. There is no acting and no pretending, here – it is simply her grounded and wonderful self.
But don't be fooled by her calm and soothing voice. The singer is incredibly energetic, like a raging cup of vitamin-C pulling you up and down, here and there, right and left! You could imagine her as a trainer in spinning class with one of those Britney-like microphones, yelling, "LET'S GO!!!" She says that, "The biggest misconception anyone can have about another person is that they are one-dimensional. People see the one thing they want to."
She continues, saying, "Being an old school kind of girl myself, I find it difficult to accept today's music, commercial music to be specific. I don't usually listen to this millennium's music!" We can hear this distance when listening to her captivating song "How We Love." The track, from her EP Hana Malhas and The Overthinkers was one of five nominees in the Folk/Singer-Songwriter Song category of the Independent Music Awards. She told Rolling Stone [ME] that It's a slow-burning tale of the "aftermath of the final fight in a relationship," picking through the "rubble, dust, debris and sadness."
Social media is the hot new trend all over the world, and addiction to it is escalating across ages and cultures. As a musician, how does social media influence or affect your progress in the music industry? And when does it get dramatic?
I don't know if social media affects progress in the industry as much as it addresses a need to connect. I mean sure, it gives you visibility and spreads pretty quickly, and if that happens at the right time in the right place, it can definitely snowball into something big. For someone like me, it's a great tool to stay in touch with audiences in Amman or the region when I'm in the US, and vice versa. It can even be a catalyst to artistic expression if you get creative with what you decide to post. But in the end, it's just another medium to share your art and personality, and to find people who resonate with that.
Social media is what you make of it. I just try to make sure I'm having fun without getting overwhelmed. Personally, I don't buy into online personas/images that are staged or forced. I try to keep whatever I post authentic to who I am or the art I choose to present. Also, I don't want to spend more time on social media than I do on my music.
But let's be real, I'm an instagram addict, and I do stalk my exes. I just can't seem to get on board with hashtags.
We heard about your recent addiction to smartphones! How is that going for you? Is it affecting your social skills like it usually does with others?
Definitely. I'm working on it. The only time I will leave my phone behind is if I'm heading out to sea… literally.
Picture and opening page picture: Be a 60s Lolita in soft pallet-set! Hana is wearing a Karen Millen chunky sequins knit top, worn as skirt. chandelier bracelet and matching earnings, Hana's mother's own. Plastic star-shaped red sunglasses worn throughout the photo shoot, stylist's own.
You are constantly traveling between the States and Jordan, how do you adjust yourself to fit back in each time and place? They are two different cultures and two different worlds. It must be hard to settle in both here and there, no?
Walks! They're so underrated. It's a great way to re-adjust and absorb the sights, sounds, and scents that surround you. I am ridiculously emotional about appreciating every place I am in… even the parts I don't particularly like. Also, friends and family on both sides of the Atlantic keep me grounded and well-fed.
We're so curious about this vintage travel suitcase (the bags seen in the photo with the dolls) you carry around everywhere! Are you on the run? What do you have in there?
I'm always on the run, metaphorically, and I do feel like a nomad at times. But psychoanalysis aside, I'm used to carrying gear and "just-in-case" items wherever I go. You never know when you're going to need a guitar tuner, an orange, or a good pair of running shoes. A regular handbag just doesn't cut it in my world. So… no mystery, just practicality (or paranoia, depending on your perspective).
But I do go through phases, and selection is based on mood and context. For a few months last year while I in Atlanta, it was a neon green carry-on suitcase with wheels. This summer in Amman, it was the vintage suitcase you saw when we met. For the past few weeks in Ann Arbor, it's been a red backpack. Once I pick something out though, I carry it everywhere.
Once it got me past ICU doors in a hospital. I was told it looked official and intimidating. Another time, a group of young school girls giggled behind me, they mistook me for a foreigner in Amman and made fun of how old school it looked. Co-workers have picked it up on their breaks and pretended to be running after a train. I was once asked to leave it behind in the car when joining friends at the bar. Naturally, I walked in, suitcase in hand, and made sure it got its own seat at the table.
I can't believe I just talked that much about the bags I carry. I don't even want to know what that means.

You mentioned that there is an ongoing love story between you and Jabal Amman. How did that come about? Should the fans feel jealous?
Like all great love stories, it's an on and off relationship. I don't know exactly how it started, but I'm guessing it goes back to those walks I mentioned. There's something dirty and urban, yet also ancient, musical, broken, and hopeful about Jabal Amman. It's hard to resist.
"Hana Malhas, a great human being, a genius musician, gorgeous, and adorable. I know Hana since she was 6 years old, I have always had a crush on Hana, I still do, and always will, (stalker shway) hahaha. She's someone you're proud to know: a very talented human being with a lovely family that I am honored to know."
– comedian Wissam Tobeileh
Speaking of relationships, what are the ultimate relationship breakers according to you?
Instinct. Everything else can fall into or out of place if you know in your gut whether someone fits. If that instinct wavers inside you at any point, nothing you do will keep you together. It's like realizing that your magnetic energy fields that don't attract.
Is there a stereotype about you that you're trying to fight? What's the biggest misconception about you?
The biggest misconception anyone can have about another person is that they are one-dimensional. People see the one thing they want to. I don't know which dimension I'm mistaken as having most, only because I pay little attention to surface impressions. There's no image I'm trying to fight off or to be for that matter. I just trust that if and when people interact with me, they will see the full picture. Plus, I have so many dualities, it's difficult for people to pin me to one thing.

You come from a famous school for talented and gifted students: Jubilee Institute- KHF. Most graduates of this school turn out to be Doctors, Engineers, Pharmacists, etc. because of pressures from parents and others. How did you rebel against that and followed your dream to be a musician? How did your parents support you through that choice?
I'd like to tell you that I'm a cool, trail-blazing rebel, but it was actually my parents that pushed me to do music as a kid and made sure it was part of my education growing up. I don't know if they ever thought I'd be doing it professionally, but they're really supportive of my music. No rebelling was necessary. Even when they think I'm crazy, I'm lucky to have their support. Even when we disagreed, they always respected the decisions I've made and given me the freedom to explore and assert my independence. It helps that I am headstrong and stubborn, but most of the credit goes to them, not to some revolution I took up. Most importantly, they're always willing to listen to the awkward vocal warm ups and shaky first drafts of new songs. Trust me, that's real support. When I am lost in life, they don't judge, and they also don't smother. They are my haven and my favorite company.
How long did it take you to know what you wanted to do?
It took me awhile to realize what I wanted to do. I didn't have it all figured out right after school, and I still don't. I work on instinct a lot, and also at my own pace. I don't like to be rushed, and I don't care how much time it takes. At some point I just knew I wanted music to be a major part of my life, but I didn't know how to make that happen. I got my MBA at the same time that I joined a band, while also working a full-time day job. This, of course, meant that I had absolutely no social life during that time. Now I do what works for me – focusing on music while balancing other freelance business projects that pay the bills. Nothing is as fulfilling to me as working on music – performing live or writing.
I just started a new concert series in Amman called Bala Feesh, that showcases local and regional independent Arab artists. You should come to the next show!
Your photo shoot was Inspired by the story of 'Lolita'. Did you feel any relation to the character, that the magazine had asked you to portray?
Kali's a charmer and a trickster. I sort of thought my photo shoot would have a different, tamer, theme, but he eventually persuaded me to try something different. The artistic elements of the photos he envisioned intrigued me. As for relating to the character, well, we definitely don't have the same taste in clothes, but she does have a sense of imaginative playful solitude that I can relate to.

Do your songs usually tell true stories inspired by personal experience? Is your songwriting lean more towards fiction or memoir?
For me, when it comes to lyrics and their melodies, the most well-crafted songs are the ones any listener can relate to. They are the ones that capture a human experience and deliver emotion, but without coming across as stale or cliché.
I think songwriters should write about whatever moves them. I like it best when the words, chords, grooves, phrasing, arrangement, and vocal lines all find that magical balance between simplicity of form and emotional content to produce songwriting genius. Some of the songs that have best represented that for me are: Sara Bareilles' "Gravity"; James Vincent McMorrow's "If I had a Boat"; Ellie Goulding's cover of the Weeknd "High for This"; Adele's "Hometown Glory"; Brandi Carlile's "Shadow on the Wall"; Bastille's "Oblivion"; Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me"; Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You," and also James Blake's cover of it; The XX's "Shelter"; Thom Yorke/Radiohead's "Last Flowers"; Bon Iver's "Skinny Love'"; Ray LaMontagne's "Empty".
"She's a bundle of smart craziness, lovely tunes, and beauty. I absolutely love Hana Malhas."
– Wissam Tobeileh
Do you listen to Arabic music, and if so, whose music do you listen to the most? And, who would you like to do a cover for, maybe an acoustic?
I mostly listen to contemporary indie Arab artists. Souad Massi is a favorite, and I'm currently checking out Rima Khcheich for the first time. But a classic that I return to over and over is Asmahan.
There was a Soap Kills phase a while back, and I really wanted to do an acoustic cover of one of their electronic tracks, but never got around to it. I once did an indie cover of Ya Msafer Wahdak for Abdel Wahhab. I think you should make me a mix tape of your favorite Arabic tracks, who knows what that would inspire.

Your music is quite personal and emotional and we can easily relate to it. Your latest song 'How we love' brushes upon that feeling. What's your stand on this particular emotion?
Out of everything you've asked, this might be the most personal question. I'm not sure how to answer it without feeling exposed. Sadness is like fire. It's such a powerful layered emotion for me, one that deserves respect. It draws you in, and there can be an odd comfort in it. It's solitary, but not isolated, because you can't fully feel love or happiness without it. It can balance you out, but you don't want to stare too long, or stand too close to the flames.

We are in the 21st century, the world is advancing at high speed, cultures changing, worlds colliding, and we still have gender issues and sexism in Jordan. What are your personal views on gender expressions?
Those are two separate issues, no? (we know they're separate Hana, it was a trick Q! Passed!) People fear what they don't know. If it's unfamiliar, there's a tendency to assume it's bad. Gender expression – conforming or alternative – is just a way to feel comfortable in your own body. No one should dictate that for you. There is no right or wrong here.
Alternative gender expression is also a healthy way to question social norms, because norms by definition don't allow for diversity. Similarly, combating sexism and promoting gender equality can only strengthen a community; individuals that respect each other despite their differences can then connect on more productive platforms of creativity and development.
In Jordan, specifically, anything that is different is automatically vilified because there's an ignorant link made between 'different' and 'deviant.' I think the only way something different or new can be upgraded from being labeled as a devil-worshiping abomination (remember project pen coverage in Jordanian national newspapers?) to a healthy form of accepting diversity, is if people take the time to get to know each other without judgment and fear. I don't think it helps that we have institutions that perpetuate ignorance.

Many songs are vague toward its meaning or apathetic for the commercial sense, but mostly general. We know the types of music that appeals to LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual/Transgender, Questioning/Queer) people, but where's the music that concerns them? Where do they fit in?
If you're asking about the intersection of music and politics – there have always been songs that represent political and social messages ranging from promoting civil rights, to anti-establishment, to anti-war, to fighting oppression and poverty, etc, both in the west and the Middle East. And there are songs out there today, more recently, that, in the same vein, deal with LGBTQ themes, calling for empowerment and acceptance. More importantly, there are many highly successful musicians that have come out openly as gay, whose music may not deal with LGBTQ-specific issues, but give context to that larger social message simply by being out, whether they write love songs, political anthems, or move-your-feet dance music. So my point is, the music and message are out there, but it's a matter of finding what you like.
Would you ever sing at a gay wedding if you were asked to? What would you sing, what would you think the perfect song would be?
I've been to so many weddings, both gay and straight, and I have to admit, weddings are not my favorite type of party in general. I just keep thinking of all the money and preparation that goes into just one lavish party that I get so much anxiety. But, to answer your questions: (a) I'd be honored if I were asked to sing at any wedding, gay or straight, as long as it's part of the ceremony itself, and no one should expect my music to get people to a dance floor, and (b) the song should be whatever best represents the couple themselves.

P395: The Swiss standard for air quality: does micorobiological air sampling makes sense in central sterilization services (CSS)
M Dangel1 &
AF Widmer1
Routine measuring air quality by air sampling has been questioned since there is a poor association between air quality and nosocomial infections. In Switzerland, the standard called "Good practice for the preparation of sterile medical devices-2005"defines air quality standards determined by particle Class 8 (Norm EN ISO 14644-1) in idle state (nobody is in the room) and by microbiological test in operation (upper limit. 200 cfu/m3) to detect malfunction of air conditioning. The objective of this study was to investigate qualitatively and quantitatively the microbiological loads before and during work session in CSS of the University Hospital Basel.
Air sampling was performed with the Microbial Air Sampler MAS-100®. A total of 160 litres air was aspirated during 95 seconds on Columbia-Agar and Sabouraud plates. Agars were incubated during 3 days at 35°C followed by 5% CO2 for 8 days at room temperature. Sabouraud plates were incubated for 21 days to 28°C to identify slow-growing moulds. Samples were taken at 6 o'clock in the morning (idle), and during the day with maximum occupancy of CSS staff (in operation).
Between 7/2008 -2/2013, a total of 209 samples were taken, 116 sample during working hours work and 93 in the absence of any staff. The Swissmedic limit of 200 cfu/m3 was fulfilled in 168 (80.4%) sample, respectively 75 (64.7%) during work and 93 (100%) in idle state (p<0.001).
Data presented (mean cfu/m3 in idle state vs in work/ p value).
Overall (38.9 vs 167.6/0.0001); Coagulase-negative staphylococci (21.5 vs 120.0/0.0001); Corynebacterium (4.0 vs 28.0/0.037); Aspergillus ssp (0.9 vs 2.5/0.030); Staphylococcus aureus (0.0 vs 0.5/0.003); Non-fermenter (0.4 vs 2.6/0.001); Gram Negative Bacilli (0.1 vs 2.1/0.001); Other (e.g. Cladosporium ssp, Paecilomyces, Gram Positive Bacilli) (11.8 vs 11.59/0.406).
Microbiological sampling in CSS during working hours commonly detects pathogenic bacteria and higher counts of moulds challenging air conditioners much more than measurements in idle state. Routine sampling in the idle state should be abandoned. However, the in-operations measurements should be better defined since the number of staff likely influences the results. Our results indicate that routine measurement in operation should be performed as outlined in the standard.

96-year-old Alex Polowin recalls a life of service and sacrifice, and a teenaged boy who went to war
Joel Haslam CTV News Ottawa Multi-Skilled Journalist
@JoelCTV Contact
Published Wednesday, November 11, 2020 6:41PM EST
OTTAWA -- Each Nov. 11, Alex Polowin finds himself in two worlds; savouring the twilight of his life, and its prime.
The feisty Ottawan may be 96-years-old, but on Remembrance Day, he recalls, with youthful vigor, his 17-year-old self—a boy who joined the Canadian Navy and went to war.
"It stays with you," Polowin said. "It stays with you."
He was just a kid when he came to Canada. His Lithuanian parents had eight children, and when Alex was eight or nine, he began banging on doors, selling produce from a horse and wagon.
"The kids were very envious of me," said Polowin.
"They were used to seeing western movies and they'd see the horse and wagon and think 'we've got a real live one," he laughed.
When war came knocking, Alex was anxious to open the door to a new adventure, motivated by two things.
His uncles —still living in Lithuania-- were the first reason. They were being persecuted by the Nazis and Alex wanted to help.
"I felt I owed it to them to play a role in trying to save their lives."
The second was the incessant name calling. The teenager had had enough.
"Because I looked old enough to be in the military, I was being called a draft dodger at age 16 and 17. And I began to feel like one, even though I was underage."
Alex knew what he had to do. If his father agreed to sign a paper verifying his age, a lawyer he met would support his efforts to enlist.
"My father didn't know what he was signing. I brought it to the lawyer and that's the way it worked out. My parents were devastated. I felt so guilty and terrible that I hurt them, but it was done," he said.
"I was 18 according to Navy records, but I was only 17 in reality."
An able-bodied seaman, Alex was aboard three different ships during his time with the Canadian Navy. He would see most of his wartime action aboard the HMCS Huron. His crew's first task was to escort merchant ships to a port in Russia.
"That was one heck of a job. It was terrible, dark for about twenty hours out of twenty-four. And you had all types of enemy threats," he said.
Alex and the members of the Huron were also part of a flotilla working to sink a Nazi battleship.
"It was called the Scharnhorst. It was the Nazi's last battleship," Alex said.
"Every day we'd get closer and closer, and every day there was more stress. You can't imagine how much it gave you."
Eventually, the mission was a success; however, Alex would come to understand how victory at sea was a double-edged sword.
"Down went the Scharnhorst. Wow, how wonderful that it was them rather than us," he said.
"Unfortunately, 2,200 human beings went down with that ship. Twenty-two hundred," Alex said, staring into space, as if eyeing the wreckage and smoke on the horizon.
Alex would also serve in the English Channel.
"Our job was to keep the Nazis from shipping goods in the channel because the railways and highways were bombed. They had to come by the channel. They had no other choice."
"It was a very important job, pre-D-Day. What we did is prevent the Nazis from firing one round at our landing troops. Not one shell was fired at them from an enemy ship."
"We didn't go in and bombard the coast of France and then leave. We hunted the enemy down and we came in contact with them. There were five (ships) of them and ten (ships) of us. And we wound up the winners," he said.
Three days after VE Day, Alex would depart for home in Ottawa, elated the war was over, but uneasy about the future.
"Peace is wonderful, but the job we had was over. What's life going to be like afterwards," he asked.
Alex would marry after the war and raise three children. He became an insurance broker and still holds his license.
"I spent close to sixty years in that," he said.
He would eventually remarry. Kathleen was a "librarian with two master's degrees who looked like Doris Day," he said. Sadly, Alex would lose her to a battle with Parkinson's.
"I can't say enough wonderful things about her," he said. "Just the fact that we were together was enough."
The well-known veteran still speaks in classrooms in the capital, and attends ceremonies honouring servicemen and women worldwide. He's met former U.S. President Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and has shaken hands with Queen Elizabeth at a D-Day celebration several years ago. There's a street, "Alex Polowin", named in his honour in Barrhaven. He was among the first Canadian vets to receive the French Legion of Honour.
"At first, I didn't believe I did enough to earn that medal, but eventually I accepted it on behalf of my fellow shipmates."
More rewarding than medals, or meetings with heads of state, are the countless "thank you's" he's received from strangers.
"A lady phoned me up. She was a survivor of a concentration camp. She said, 'thank you for what you, other Canadians, and other nations did for me, I'll never forget.' She talked about how we fought for her freedom and broke down the gates of the concentration camps. At that moment, I felt so happy that I played a little bit of a role in that."
Alex's uncles in Lithuania did not survive. They were killed before the war's end. They did, said Alex, pay him a visit in his dreams.
"They came on board the ship, danced around me, hugged me and kissed me. They thanked me, and said people are all very proud of me. I cried. And that's the only time I ever dreamt about the war, the only time."
Alex asks if I'd like to hear him sing one of his war-time favourites, "You'll Never Know, by the late, great British songstress, Vera Lynn."
He reaches for the notes and belts out the last two lines.
"If there is some other way to prove that I love you, I swear, I don't know how. You'll never know if you don't know now."
No proof necessary, Alex. We know. And thank you.

Remembering Jeremy Paul
by Scott Monty May 08, 2011
"Oh, my God, it is Paul!" [GREE]
Earlier this week, news of Jeremy Paul's death was shared on the Scarlet Street Forums. Interestingly, it was shared by Bert Coules, the head writer for the BBC radio adaptations of the Canon. We say "interesting," because Jeremy Paul was an award-winning writer of many Sherlock Holmes adaptations and other televised mysteries and dramas.
Bert shared the following sentiment:
I'm sorry to report that the writer Jeremy Paul has died at the age of 71. He'd been suffering from pancreatic cancer.
Paul is probably best known as one of the mainstay scriptwriters on Granada's Sherlock Holmes series but his TV credits go back to pioneering shows like No Hiding Place and much-loved favourites like Danger UXB, Upstairs, Downstairs, Out of the Unknown, Lovejoy, The Duchess of Duke Street, Midsomer Murders and the two Dominick Hyde science fiction plays.
He also wrote for the stage (notably The Secret of Sherlock Holmes, which ran for over a year in the West End with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke) and the cinema (Hammer's Countess Dracula).
We remember first seeing his name on the writing credits for the Granada Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett. In all, Jeremy Paul wrote the screenplay for a number of the episodes, including:
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984): "The Speckled Band" and "The Naval Treaty"
The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1988): "The Musgrave Ritual" and "Wisteria Lodge"
The Case-book of Sherlock Holmes (1991-1993): "The Problem of Thor Bridge," "The Master Blackmailer" and "The Last Vampyre"
The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1994): "The Three Gables" and "The Red Circle"
Mr. Paul was awarded an Edgar for his work on "The Musgrave Ritual" and was nominated for an Edgar for "The Problem of Thor Bridge."
(L to R) Mark Gagen, BSI, Jeremy Paul, Linda Garwood
and Steven Doyle, BSI
And for those who attended the 2007 conference From Gillette to Brett II (Electric Boogalo?), one of the special treats was a talk by none other than Jeremy Paul himself. The event, which is now in its third iteration, is described on the From Gillette to Brett II website as having "a film festival, Sherlockian vendors, and an all-star roster of distinguished speakers and presenters." If you're interested in another go-around, From Gillette to Brett 3 is coming up later this year. It wouldn't surprise us if the crew there pays some sort of homage to Jeremy Paul.
One of the more interesting aspects of Mr. Paul's involvement with the world of Sherlock Holmes was when Jeremy Brett commissioned him to write a play. The Secret of Sherlock Holmes ran for several hundred performances in London's West End from 1988-1989. It concentrated on the friendship of Holmes and Watson and a surprising secret that Holmes had kept for many years. Both Edward Hardwicke's and Brett's performances were highly acclaimed by critics, and the play continues to enjoy revivals every so often. Below you can see Jeremy Brett speak about the play.
In addition to his work on the Sherlock Holmes stories, Jeremy Paul made a mark as a writer on other mystery shows, including Hetty Wainthropp Investigates and Campion. Without a doubt, Mr. Paul's talents will be missed, as he certainly left an indelible mark on the world of Sherlock Holmes. For that we'll be forever grateful.

Reading FC 1-0 Bristol City: Player Ratings
Reading got the three points in the dying minutes of the game, but did any of the players impress?
By Royal Hoops@RoyalHoops Jan 2, 2016, 9:14pm GMT
Share All sharing options for: Reading FC 1-0 Bristol City: Player Ratings
Ben Hoskins/Getty Images
Ali Al-Habsi: 6
Very little to do, bar claim a couple of corners and free kicks. Can't remember him making a save and his distribution is better than that of Jonathan Bond, the man some thought was harshly dropped.
Chris Gunter: 6
Typical Gunter. Overlapped, was solid in defence, but didn't offer anything outstanding and when he did advance forward he didn't do much with the ball.
Paul McShane: 6
McShane is becoming a bit of a cult hero at Reading, performing to high standards in the majority of games he plays and a natural leader. He was no different here. Unfortunately, it looks like his calf injury may keep him out for a few games. He will be missed.
Jake Cooper: 6
Looked shaky (or is it rusty?) at the beginning of the game, but grew into it and by the end left me asking, "Michael Hector Who?" It's incredible that the on-loan Chelsea man has been keeping Cooper out of the side for so long and if this performance is anything to go by, it doesn't look like we'll be missing Hector when he does head off to Stamford Bridge.
Andrew Taylor: 6
Much like Gunter, Taylor isn't exciting and doesn't offer much going forwards but is always reliable and does the basics very well.
Nick Blackman: 6
If it weren't for the winning goal, he'd be getting a 5. Out on the right hand side, he neglected his defensive duties and did very little well on the ball apart from a few tricks and drawn fouls. Fortunately, when given an opportunity to score he did what was required of him and that's all you can ask for when Reading are struggling for confidence.
Reading 1-0 Bristol City: Match Report
The Royals made hard work of a victory but it was in many ways a typical Brian McDermott performance.
Danny Williams: 5
I heard on BBC Berkshire on the way home that Williams was a few fan's Man of the Match today. I'm afraid he didn't impress me much today and certainly wasn't up to his usual high standards. It always seemed to be Norwood making the tackles in midfield and when the America international went on a run he very rarely released it at the right time. Frustrating.
Oliver Norwood: 7
Tackling, check. Passing, check. Class, check. Norwood grew into the game after The Royals' wobbly start and by the end was running the show from the middle of the park. Sparkling.
Stephen Quinn: 6
Quinn is like a higher quality Jay Tabb, isn't he? Defensively sound, inventive going forwards and versatile, he did a good job on the left wing and at left back. You could probably play him up front and he'd still give you a 6/10 performance.
Orlando Sá: 5
Ineffective. Didn't seem able to win a header and doesn't have the pace to run in behind, this game passed him by. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt, he is just coming back from injury after all.
Matěj Vydra: 6
Oh, Matěj. What a confusing day. Simultaneously the most likely to get a goal and the least likely to score, Vydra was full of running, one-touch passing and pressing but simply couldn't convert when the opportunities fell to him. The fact he tracked back to his own half in the 90th minute and played a key part in the winning goal says that whilst he may not be scoring, he's got the attitude Brian McDermott craves from his strikers and is getting in the right positions. Surely a matter of time?
Anton Ferdinand: 6
Stepped into McShane's shoes perfectly. We just have to hope he doesn't get injured, because a defensive duo composed of Hector, Cooper or Niall Keown does not inspire confidence.
Garath McCleary: 6
Came on and changed the game, taking his full back on numerous time and getting a couple of dangerous crosses in — as well as a few erratic ones. His higher workrate out on the right made Gunter's job easier.
Hal Robson-Kanu: 6
Flashes, but helped out Quinn on the left and tried to make things happen up front. That's all McDermott will have asked for.

Q: Characterset conversion when using Galera Cluster We need to change character set from utf8 to utf8mb4 on MariaDB Galera Cluster.
Can we use wsrep_OSU_method=RSU (rolling schema upgrade) to convert character set.
Online schema change tools are not an option.
What problems can we expect with RSU method?
Thanks
