Hard-driving, up-tempo acoustic Americana Roots music from the traditions of country, folk, and bluegrass. Jim's creative original story songs (anywhere from food to murder) are the main focus of the band.
Jim Gaudet forsook the solo singer songwriter label several years ago, and while Jim is the front man this is a band, not a backup band. Tight arrangements, hot licks, and more grit than the gloss that often characterizes bluegrass these days. There is a bluegrass backbone to the CD, but there's nothing purist about The Railroad Boys. Folk and country influences abound and a wry sense of humor holds it all together. Jim's writing is top notch and the band is cookin'.

Rs 9,000 cr gas-grid project for NE approved: Pradhan
The government has okayed this project to transport gas among the northeastern states as well as West Bengal via Siliguri
AGARTALA , March 2, 2019 5:08 pm
Union petroleum and natural gas minister Pradhan (File image)
Union petroleum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday said in Agartala that a Rs 9,000 crore gas-grid project has been approved to transport natural gas among northeastern states and West Bengal.
"There is huge amount of natural gas available in Assam, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and other northeast states is being tapped into for the Rs 9,265 crore North East Gas Grid (NEGG). The government has okayed this project to transport gas among the northeastern states as well as West Bengal via Siliguri," Pradhan said while inaugurating the Rs 215 crore Sonamura Gas Collecting station of ONGC here.
An ONGC official said the NEGG is a joint venture of five oil and natural gas companies — Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOC), Oil India Limited (OIL), Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) and ONGC.
Huge onshore gas reserves have been found in Assam, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Tripura, which is also the number one gas producing state for ONGC.
The transportation and availability of cooking gas (liquefied petroleum gas — LPG) has been eased after the Centre signed a deal with the Bangladesh to ferry LPG via Chittagong international sea port and land route.
"Carrying LPG tankers or cylinders by trucks through the northeast is a big problem due to its mountainous terrain. The ferrying through Bangladesh will not only be cost-effective but also consume less time," the minister said.
Use of Tripura's gas reserve would also improve revenue and income of the state, he said.
The ONGC should explore more gas reserves to develop new industries, power plants and other projects in the state to help create jobs, Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said.
The ONGC has been working in Tripura for the past five decades. It has drilled 225 wells and found gas in 116.
A 726 MW power plant in southern Tripura is already using local reserves, the ONGC said. The gas-based power project is supplying electricity to all the northeastern states and Bangladesh (160 MW).

Q: Problem with ObservableCollection and INotifyPropertyChanged in MVVM I have a chart control in XAML, and  datapoints that are bind to the control.
The problem is when my ModelView changes the Collection of points the Chart control doesn't get any notifications. I have tried dp, with ObservableCollection and INotifyPropertyChanged without any luck. I know that there is a difference between changing a field/property and making collection operations such as (add/remove/replace etc.) for the changes to propagate to the Chart control. But I haven't got it to work. The change event is only triggered when I instance/reinstance the collection.
Does any have link to a working MVVM that works with collections?
Worth too know.

public class ObservableCollection : Collection, INotifyCollectionChanged, INotifyPropertyChanged

        public static DependencyProperty WorkModelsProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("WorkModels", typeof(ObservableCollection), typeof(Chart),
            new PropertyMetadata(new ObservableCollection { }, new PropertyChangedCallback(
            (sender, args) =>
            {
                Debugger.Break(); //trigged only when collection got new instance
            })));

        public ObservableCollection WorkModels
        {
            get { return (ObservableCollection)GetValue(WorkModelsProperty); }
            set { SetValue(WorkModelsProperty, value); }
        }

The binding is correct and tested.
Code in Window.Resources.

ObjectDataProvider ObjectType="{x:Type vm:ListWorkViewModel}" x:Key="ListWorkViewModel"

The binding of control.

WorkModels="{Binding Source={StaticResource ListWorkViewModel}, Path=WorkModels}"

In the ViewModel I use the following code to rise changes. (When using INotifyPropertyChanged)

WorkModels.Add(workModel);
this.RaisePropertyChanged("WorkModels");

protected void RaisePropertyChanged(string propertyName)
{
     VerifyPropertyName(propertyName);
     if (PropertyChanged != null)
          PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}

When I use ObservableCollection I only add new data point to the collection.

WorkModels.Add(workModel);

Question on MVVM pattern on WPF?

A: Needs more code. How do you bind? What type is ObservableCollection of? Are you sure you are notyfing in class that is value of ObservableColletion?
Edit: Also change title of your question. This is little ambiguous and not really problem of your question.

A: Have you tried something like this...
private IEnumerable<DataPoint> _DataPoints;
public IEnumerable<DataPoint> DataPoints
{
    get
    {
        return _DataPoints;
    }

    set
    {
        if (_DataPoints != value)
        {
            _DataPoints = value;
            this.OnPropertyChanged("DataPoints");
        }
    }
}

Then whenever you modify ANY point within the DataPoints collection, you raise a property change event for the entire DataPoints set
    /// <summary>
    /// Raised when a property on this object has a new value.
    /// </summary>
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    /// <summary>
    /// Raises this object's PropertyChanged event.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="propertyName">The property that has a new value.</param>
    protected virtual void OnPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
    {
        //this.VerifyPropertyName(propertyName);

        PropertyChangedEventHandler handler = this.PropertyChanged;
        if (handler != null)
        {
            var e = new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName);
            handler(this, e);
        }
    }

EDIT:
Try changing the resource type from StaticResource to DynamicResource...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms750613.aspx#staticdynamic
The resource could be being loaded with the page/window and never updated. That would explain the lack of event communication

A: You've got this:
WorkModels="{Binding Source={StaticResource ListWorkViewModel}, Path=WorkModels}"

Why are you binding to a static resource? how is that resource defined? Is it in the XAML itself? Are you sure you're actually updating the same instance of the model  that the control is bound to?

A: Thank you for answers. I found the solution to the problem here.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970563.aspx

For a dependency property in general, the implementation pattern that you follow is that you define a CLR property wrapper, where that property is backed by a DependencyProperty identifier rather than a field or other construct. You follow this same pattern when you implement a collection-type property. However, a collection-type property introduces some complexity to the pattern whenever the type that is contained within the collection is itself a DependencyObject or Freezable derived class.

Elon Musk Confirms Tesla Will Take 2 Colors Off Menu to Simplify Production
9.11.2018 10:55 AM
Tesla is planning to take two colors off the menu, as it aims to get more electric vehicles into the hands of prospective buyers. The company announced on Tuesday that it will remove metallic silver and obsidian black from its online listings, as it aims to push past its 7,000-car-per-week total production rate and reach even more consumers.
Musk told his 22.5 million followers that the company was making the move for all three models "to simplify manufacturing," and that the two colors "will still be available as special request, but at higher price." An email received by Electrek shows the company will raise the price of the two color options from $1,500 to $2,000 from Thursday, September 13. The company plans to phase them out completely from Friday, September 21. Musk also confirmed that this will not affect repair times, as "service will stock all colors."
Tesla Model 3 colors that are being removed. Tesla
See more: Elon Musk Details the Complexity of Building a Tesla First-Hand
Tesla has been pushing to reach a goal of producing at least 50,000 Model 3 vehicles in the third quarter. A recent report claimed that Tesla missed its internal goal of reaching a production rate of 6,000 vehicles per week, on top of the 2,000 Model S and X vehicles it produces, making only around 6,400 vehicles total with 4,300 Model 3 vehicles. Reservation holders that have paid $1,000 for their place in line, which stood at under half a million when production started in July 2017, are eagerly waiting to transfer their deposits into full-blown cars.
The plan is unlikely to go down well with consumers, though. Musk told YouTuber Marques Brownlee (known as MKBHD) during a factory tour video that the most popular color customers order is black followed by white, with black commanding a marginal lead in American sales but proving far more popular than white in Europe. Tesla will still maintain "solid black" and "midnight silver metallic," but the metallic sheen in the obsidian coating has earned it a number of fans in Tesla communities.
Tesla is expected to produce its next earnings report, which should offer more details about its production rate, at the start of November.

This article came out a little over a week ago (probably two by the time of publication), and I both loved and hated it so much, I knew I wanted to use it as the inspiration for some of my musical discussion.
The author tells a familiar tale of how video game music just isn't what it used to be and takes a stab at explaining one reason why : limitation. The underlying principle, one that I somewhat agree with is that some of the greatest game music came out of composers doing the best that they could do with the sound resources they had available; in the early days of gaming, this amount was very little.
While I agree with the principle, it's no excuse for the direction game music is taking. Gregory admits that there are exceptions to the rule especially in the realm of Japanese gaming, but why is that? The soundtrack for Super Mario Galaxy 2 uses an orchestra as big as many other modern games for instance, and yet its music falls far from the "disposable" category.
I started thinking a lot about the state of game music, what happened to change the nature of such music, and what we can do as composers and/or listeners to keep video game music relevant even today.
And thus I decided to go on a journey exploring different generations of game music. Who knows, maybe there's something to learn from all of this.

Kirby's Adventure + Japanese Commercial = Kirby's Epic Yarn!?
Looks like it. I encountered this commercial yesterday after looking up some more recent Wii game commercials. I click on this thinking it's Japan's Epic's Yarn commercial. Besides it looking like it was recorded with a VCR, the video looked normal. Then the gameplay footage is shown. I'm like, "what…? Kirby's Adventure?" I'm thinking "must be an extra in Epic Yarn." Then the old Japanese "Nintendo" splash is shown to end the CM. I'm thinking "nah, this guy must've edited something." I look up another video, and it's true, this was the real deal: this really was the Japanese Kirby's Adventure commercial! So that means someone at HAL looked back on this commercial and thought, "You know what, let's make a game outta this!" I gotta admit, this is pretty cool. The only other time I've seen Nintendo take cues from their commercials was when they took the Chandelier Dragon from the Golden Sun US commercial and added him to the game in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Ah Donkey Kong Country 3. Many consider this game the Super Mario Bros. 2 of the Donkey Kong Country series, the sort of outcast that not many people remember. I mean, it came off the heels of Donkey Kong Country 2, and was released the same year the N64 came out. Like its following and fan reaction, its soundtrack was met with… okay ratings. While there were some memorable tunes from this entry in the series, it was obvious that some was… missing. Maybe its because Eveline Fischer did most of the composing and not David Wise (no offense to Fischer). Maybe it's the relatively new setting for the Kongs.Years later, facing audio issues for the GBA, Nintendo saw this and brought back David Wise to redo the entire soundtrack of DKC3 for its GBA release. And then… a fanbase split ensues!

I'll try to keep my opinions about Lady Gaga's music to myself. But I think some of you might find this amusing. I will say though, the use of Zelda footage here is really just a backdrop for what is otherwise a pseudo 8-bit remix of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance (and just view-whoring to rake gamers in). I say "pseudo" because this is being done on GXSCC. Now this would be real 8-bit if it was being done on something like Famitracker (of even LSDJ). Really not a fan of GXSCC's sound, but nice try for the creator.

9 Stories Of Sexual Harassment
Story from Health
9 People Share Their Personal Experiences With Sexual Harassment
Kasandra Brabaw
Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Variety/REX/Shutterstock.
On Thursday, the New York Times published a piece detailing decades of sexual harassment and abuse allegations against Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
According to the report, the abuse spanned more than 30 years and included eight legal settlements with women — all while Weinstein continued to be a big Hollywood name, won six best-picture Oscars, and worked on popular films like Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting.
In other words, he enjoyed a successful and profitable career while a history of repeat sexual harassment was swept under the rug. It's a story that's all too familiar for most women (and even some people of other genders) who have experienced the same kind of sexual harassment from authority figures in their own lives. And in the wake of allegations against Weinstein, these women are also speaking out.
It started with a call on Twitter from writer Anne T. Donahue, who tweeted, "When did you meet YOUR Harvey Weinstein? I'll go first: I was a 17-yr-old co-op student and he insisted on massaging my shoulders as I typed." (Full disclosure: Donahue has written for Refinery29 in the past.)
After Donahue posted her tweet, other people poured in with their own stories, detailing sexual harassment they'd faced from former bosses, teachers, a friend's dad, and even their dentist.
"The response has been heartbreaking, because these stories convey just how prevalent rape culture is, and the toxic norms we suffer at the hands of," Donahue tells Refinery29. "But at the same time, I'm blown away by the generosity of those sharing their stories in general. It's a big deal to talk about trauma; to go back and remember something that affected you and scared you and made you feel powerless."

People's Emergency Center (PEC) nurtures families, strengthens neighborhoods, and drives change. We are committed to increasing equity and opportunity throughout our entire community. We provide comprehensive supportive services to women and their children experiencing homelessness, revitalize our West Philadelphia neighborhood, and advocate for social justice.
What communities are you supporting?
PEC works in Belmont, Mill Creek, West Powelton, Saunders Park, and Mantua.
I wish people knew we are a homeless shelter +(plus)! Our work is deeper and wider than that one issue. Even our shelter program is about more than just housing people. We work with our residents to increase self-sufficiency. We work in our community to increase equity, beauty, and prosperity. We connect with our peers to innovate beyond the barriers that impede the work of reducing poverty in Philadelphia.
How do you define impact in the work that your organization does?
I define impact simply as the successful completion of a project. What that looks like is a family moving into a well-renovated home they can afford. It also looks like a young adult working as a community connector, engaging their fellow neighbor about mutually important matters. It looks like a business expanding into the empty storefront next door. It looks like a legacy business celebrating 25+ years in existence. It looks like a renovated park becoming a hub of positive vitality. It looks like strong civic associations guiding the changes happening in their communities.
We spread philanthropic love through collaboration. Whether that collaboration comes through connecting with local arts organizations to conduct creative placemaking. Connecting with local civics to negotiate community benefits agreements for large-scale real estate developments. We spread philanthropic love by collaborating with peer organizations to increase the number of affordable housing units in Philadelphia.


The IHBC, with partner bodies the SPAB and COTAC, have highlighted in the construction sector press their concerns over the damage the government's Green Deal initiative might cause to the historic environment.
The success of the initiative has helped set the scene for supportive responses to government consultations by bodies such as RIBA, which is calling for 'skilled specialist attention to find the most appropriate solutions' for 'vulnerable historic and traditional older buildings'.
'… criticisms [of the plans for the Green Deal] have been raised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), the Conference on Training in Architectural Conservation (COTAC) and other conservation professionals following a national conference on Improving Thermal Performance in Traditional Buildings held by COTAC last month. Their concerns follow the Department for Energy and Climate Change's (DECC) launch on 23 November of a consultation into the Green Deal plan, and the announcement of a further £200 million funding boost for the initiative that will enable homes and businesses to install energy-saving measures in their properties with no upfront costs.
'When modern energy efficiency solutions are used on older buildings they can be extremely harmful. The Green Deal's 'one size fits all' approach will cause unnecessary damage to the character and fabric of historic buildings and incur significant long-term costs for property owners while wasting millions of pounds of public money' said John Preston, IHBC education secretary.
'The application of external insulation, which is a key part of the Green Deal initiative, will be particularly damaging to historic and traditionally constructed buildings by changing their appearance, dimensions and methods of collecting and discharging rainwater. These structures need to 'breathe' and moisture trapped within walls could lead to serious health risks for both occupants and buildings,' commented David Heath, chairman of SPAB.
Parallel responses to the related Green Deal consultation from DECC have highlighted these concerns directly to government.

Jet Journal: Five on the Fly
By Rebecca Groom Jacobs
WHO: Kirby Ortega – Chief Pilot, Aircraft Management Programs
COMPANY: Yingling Aviation
WHERE: Wichita, Kansas
QUALIFICATIONS: FAA Gold Seal Flight Instructor, FAA Designated Pilot Examiner, 30+ years at Cessna, former chief pilot piston engine operations, 25,000 hours
1. What led you to becoming (and remaining) a pilot at Cessna for 30 years?
The versatility. I served in various piloting roles over the years such as training, air-to-air, demo and international flight operations. But flight instruction was my introduction to Cessna and actually remained my primary focus – specifically training newer pilots in the Caravan for international flight ops. Traveling to other countries was a huge interest of mine. I have now flown in more than 90, predominantly in the Caravan. Greatly enjoy seeing other cultures, the way they live, and how they view the role of general aviation. In a lot of places, aviation is the tie to civilization.
2. Can you describe your present role at Yingling Aviation?
I'm currently the chief pilot for Yingling Aviation's aircraft management program. We manage and operate aircraft for local companies. But keeping with the versatility theme, I perform a number of responsibilities around the FBO such as maintenance flights, ferry flights and training. I also do a considerable amount of training and testing on my own – primarily in the Citation Mustang and 525 series. I'll assist individuals looking for flight instruction in their own airplane whether it be a type rating or recurrent training.
3. You've flown nearly every Cessna model – what is your favorite aircraft (or two) to fly?
In the jet line, I'd have to say the Citation XLS+ is one of my favorites. It is just a super well-rounded airplane with great range and speed; extremely easy to fly on top of the impressive performance. The stand-up cabin is also a good feature. The Mustang would be my next pick, mainly for the simplicity of the systems and G1000. I've seen a lot of pilots step out of single-engine pistons right up into the Mustang. It involves some extra mentoring for multi-engine time, but the simplicity and redundancy of the systems allows for a nice transition.
4. What are the top reasons you see pilots stepping up
into turbine aircraft?
The reliability is first. They know they are always going to be able to start the engine, whether it be a PT-6 or a jet engine. A pilot stepping up might also be looking at the simplicity of the aircraft operation or the added performance. But usually, the primary goal is finding out the amount of safety-related features their money can buy; two engines, advanced avionics, etc. – especially if they're coming from a single-engine piston or operate out of challenging terrain.
5. Can you tell us about one of your most memorable trips?
Back in 1990, we took the Caravan on a demo tour to Moscow, Russia. We landed at the larger, city airport at first, but then needed to transport to another location around
10 miles away for an airshow. We were required to have a Russian navigator on board, so once he showed up, we were on our way – flying at 1,000 feet, staring at apartment buildings taller than us. He soon points where we need to land and we look down just to see a grass field with a couple of airplanes. Turns out Russia does airshows a bit differently than we do. The focus is the aerial performers, not booths or vendors on the ground – we were the only OEM there. People sure were excited to see a new airplane though!
Rebecca Groom Jacobs
Though raised around general aviation, Rebecca first considered it as a career while learning to fly in a Piper J-3 Cub in 2010. The experience (and private pilot certificate) led her to change course and pursue a business degree from Oklahoma State University. Since graduation, she has specialized in aviation-specific marketing and communications, working first for Piper Aircraft followed by a three-year tenure at aviation-founded marketing agency Sullivan Higdon & Sink in Wichita. Having uncovered her passion and talent for writing, Rebecca also served as a Twin & Turbine contributing writer prior to being appointed Editor-in-Chief in May of 2018.

Sinopolycentropus rasnitsyni  — ископаемый вид скорпионниц рода Sinopolycentropus из семейства Pseudopolycentropodidae (Mecoptera). Обнаружены в среднеюрских отложениях Восточной Азии (Jiulongshan Formation, батский — келловейский ярусы): Китай (Daohugou Village, Shantou Township, Ningcheng County, Внутренняя Монголия).

Описание
Длина тела 5,5 мм; размер переднего крыла 6,1×2,4 мм. Длина хоботка 2 мм, усиков — 2 мм. Лапки 5-члениковые; в нитевидных утолщённых антеннах около 40 сегментов; нижнегубные щупики 3-члениковые. Крылья широкие и округлённые. Брюшко вытянутое, состоит из 9 видимых сегментов. По особенностям жилкования крыльев (короткая жилка Sc, простая R1, жилка Rs с 4 ветвями, M с 5 ветвями, развита ячейка dc и простая CuA) сходен с вымершими родами Pseudopolycentropus и Pseudopolycentropodes из семейства длиннохоботковых скорпионниц Pseudopolycentropodidae, филогенетически базальной группы скорпионовых мух, живших в триасовом и юрском периодах. Предположительно, были одними из первых насекомых, которые питались нектаром и участвовали в опылении растений. Так как в то время (165—160 млн лет назад) ещё не появились цветковые, то энтомофильными могли быть голосеменные растения. Вид был впервые описан в 2011 году американским палеоэнтомологом Конрадом Лабандейром (Conrad C. Labandeira, Department of Paleobiology, Smithsonian Institution, Национальный музей естественной истории, Вашингтон) и группой китайских энтомологов (ChungKun Shih, Xiaoguang Yang, Dong Ren; College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University, Пекин, Китай). Видовое название дано в честь крупного российского палеоэнтомолога профессора Александра Павловича Расницына (ПИН РАН, Москва).

Infections are not uncommon but they will usually clear up before too long. Our bodies are effective at fighting against them, while modern medicines are also effective in defeating them.
Some infections are harder to fight against, though, and can be very serious and even become a threat to our lives. A blood infection, also known as sepsis or septicemia, is often caused when bacteria are able to enter the body.
While the infection in itself poses a risk, what's really harmful is when the body launches a huge reaction to deal with it. This floods the body with chemicals which affect the blood to dangerous levels. It is potentially fatal if medical help is not sought so it should be taken very seriously indeed.
Human beings are warm-blooded animals. This means that we can regulate our own body temperature, adjusting it up or down as and when needed. It will often be adjusted according to the weather and any extra heat that is needed is generated when we metabolize our food. Sometimes, it can also be adjusted to help combat illness.
Pathogens find it difficult to survive in bodies that are too hot. For this reason, our bodies will raise their temperature should a pathogen be detected in our bodies. This is what we know as a fever, and it is a common symptom of many illnesses, including a blood infection.

Football tipster Buffon: I still feel important about Juve
Canluigi Buffon said he still feels important to Juventus, though he does not play regularly this season. The legend is Wojciech Szczecny`s reserve in most matches, as it was in the last Serie A match mentioned by football tips against Lecce, who finished 1-1. The 41-year-old goalkeeper spent last season at Paris Saint-Germain, but is pleased with his decision to return to Turin this summer. `I went to Paris because I couldn`t refuse such an opportunity from a sport and financially. When you are 40 and a big club, you are flattered. I wanted to try something new, to get out of my comfort zone, ` Buffon said. `One night, when I was alone, I decided to go back to Juve. I asked myself: I`m 41 and what am I doing here in Paris when my family is in Italy? I arrived at PSG and when Juve made an offer, thisit seemed like the right choice, so I accepted immediately, `he explained.
According to some information, Gigi returned to the Italian grand to complete coaching courses and prepare for life after his football career, but he denied having such plans: `I am currently in a psychological and physical condition that makes meI still feel like an important player. I have not analyzed my future. When I realize that I cannot play the way I want, we will sit down with the club and tell them that it is the end.`

Man Behind Viral Delta Video Has History of Faking Anti-Muslim Incidents
By Alex GriswoldDec 21st, 2016, 9:33 am
The Muslim-American man who posted a video of himself being kicked off a Delta flight — allegedly for speaking to his mother in Arabic on the phone — also has a history of creating hoax videos purporting to detail anti-Muslim discrimination.
Back in 2014, Adam Saleh created a video called "RACIAL PROFILING EXPERIMENT!" that quickly racked up close to two million views on YouTube. In it, Saleh purported to get in a fight with a friend in front of a police officer in Western-style clothing, and then reenacted the same fight dressed in traditional Muslim garb. Police supposedly only intervened when the men looked like Muslims.
There were some obvious clues the video was suspect ("Why are you dressed like that?" the "police officer" shouts at one point). But a handful of liberal outlets fell for the video, and even the The Council on American-Islamic Relations passed it along thinking it was legitimate.
Only after The Smoking Gun ran an exposé calling the video an "obvious hoax" did Saleh add the following to the video description: "This video is a Dramatization of previous events that occurred with us in our tradition clothing while filming in NYC." But today, that disclaimer has been removed and the video is still being passed off as legitimate.
UPDATE 7:11 p.m. EST: Delta has issued a follow-up statement obtained by Mediaite's sister site LawNewz finding that Saleh was being disruptive:
Based on the information collected to date, it appears the customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behavior, including shouting. This type of conduct is not welcome on any Delta flight.
UPDATE 9:37 p.m. EST: Saleh responded in a tweet tonight:
Thank you for all your support pic.twitter.com/ukQ4EGVQ6r

Q: Magento - How to add upgrade SQL lines to extension I'm working on a custom Magento extension. I'm developing the extension at Magento version of 1.9.0.1.
So i have simple question.
I've created an extension and lately i've made some upgrades to it.
The first version of the extension was numbered: 1.0.0
Let me show you the config file of the extension:

And the sql installer file located - /app/code/community/VivasIndustries/SmsNotification/sql/smsnotification_setup/mysql4-install-1.0.0.php contains:
<?php
$installer=$this;
$installer->startSetup();

$installer->run("
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `VivasIndustries_SmsNotification` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `state` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  `smstext` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `id` (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `VivasIndustries_SmsHistory` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `receiver` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  `phone` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(500) NOT NULL,
  `smstext` text NOT NULL,
  `date` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

    ");
$installer->endSetup();
?>

But after the upgrade i've made i have to add this think to MySQL:
$installer->addAttribute("quote_address", "smsprice_total", array("type"=>"varchar"));
$installer->addAttribute("order", "smsprice_total", array("type"=>"varchar"));

So how can i create an upgrade file and how can this extension understand that it has an upgrade?
I am not even sure i'm giving my question right.
P.S.
I'll export the whole MySQL database of the Magento to search for matches: smsprice_total so i can be sure they are created.
Thanks!

A: Upgrades are generally ran on a production server. If you're in the middle of development just stick them in your original installer file and they will run as long as you drop the table they created and remove the related entry from core_resource.
In your case, drop: VivasIndustries_SmsNotification and VivasIndustries_SmsHistory
Then find the entry to smsnotification_setup in core_resource and delete the row.
If you really want to add an upgrade script just do the following instead:
Change your module version to 1.1.0 or 2.0.0 or 1.0.1 - basically anything higher than the original so that it will detect a discrepancy of versions and run your upgrade script.
<version>2.0.0</version>

Create the following file matching the version change you've made:
mysql4-upgrade-1.0.0-1.1.0.php

or
mysql4-upgrade-1.0.0-2.0.0.php
or
mysql4-upgrade-1.0.0-1.0.1.php
Flush cache and perform a single page load.
You'll know that the extension successfully installed if it updated the number for smsnotification_setup inside core_resource table


Guilt By Association: How Deception and Self-Deceit Took America to War; By Jeff Gates, State Street Publications, 2008, paperback, 320 pp.
From 1980 to 1987 Gates served as counsel to the Senate Finance Committee, working with Sen. Russell Long of Louisiana, son of the state's former Gov. Huey Long, who was assassinated at age 42 as he was preparing a presidential campaign. James Farley, postmaster general under President Franklin Roosevelt, had run a "penny postcard" poll confirming that if Huey Long actually ran for president, Roosevelt could not be re-elected. Fifty years later Russell Long remained convinced that Roosevelt's people had killed his father.
At a 2002 speech Gates gave in London, he met "John Doe," related to one of the well-known people who had endorsed two of Gates' earlier books. Soon afterward, Doe assured him that if Gates undertook the research and analysis the results of which appear in Guilt, the evidence would identify who killed Huey Long, and why. The facts Gates assembled point not to Roosevelt's people but to the syndicate identified in Guilt.
The future multi-volume Criminal State series will chronicle the operations of an international criminal syndicate as experienced by John Doe since his birth in 1952. Gates and Doe have worked together in Arizona for the past three years documenting the deeply criminal activities of the syndicate whose schemes encompass geopolitical goals achieved through corruption and ruthlessness. Because control of the Oval Office is the syndicate's goal, the immediate purpose of Guilt is to alert the public to the perils of John McCain emerging as president and commander-in-chief. McCain's election would embolden those skilled at displacing facts with deceit, Gates documents with convincing detail.
In the first chapter Gates illustrates the intergenerational sophistication with which neoconservatives "prepared the minds" of the American public to invade Iraq in response to 9/11. Academics and think tanks pushed Samuel Huntington's 1996 Clash of Civilizations to promote a "clash consensus"—five years before 9/11. That same year Richard Perle along with other neocons such as Douglas Feith wrote "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" for incoming Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. This helped lay more "mental threads" for removing Saddam Hussain. Then Senators McCain, Joe Lieberman, a Jewish Zionist from Connecticut, and Jon Kyl, a Christian Zionist from Arizona, co-sponsored the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. Distracted by the Monica Lewinsky affair, President Bill Clinton signed it.
Four days after the destruction of the World Trade Towers, then Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz was urging President George W. Bush to invade Iraq. Not only was there was no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, but there was no real connection between Saddam's secular regime and the deeply religious al-Qaeda. At the same time, other Zionists from the U.S. Defense Department under Wolfowitz and, not so coincidentally, Feith were feeding false intelligence to the White House. The war would not be costly, according to Wolfowitz, and the entirely unnecessary and illegal war was launched.
In the chapter on "The Presidency and Russian Organized Crime," Gates describes a John McCain who was either "ignorant about—or complicit in" Russian organized crime. During Boris Yeltsin's first term as president of Russia, a handful of "oligarchs' financially pillaged Russia. Six of the "Big Seven" oligarchs, whom Gates terms Ashkenazis, qualify for Israeli citizenship.
McCain described Mikhail Khodorovsky, the most infamous of Russia's corrupt oil oligarchs, as a "political prisoner." Notes Gates: "To claim Khodorovsky as a 'political prisoner' requires a closer look at how, at 32 years of age, a single Russian-Ashkenazi citizen amassed state-owned assets worth more than $30 billion." Gates goes on to document the widespread criminality involved in Khodorovsky's billions.
Guilt describes how Americans were induced to freely choose the very forces that endanger their freedom. Thus the role of those masterful at waging "war by deception" (the motto of the Israeli Mossad) by displacing facts with what the "mark" (i.e., the U.S.) could be deceived to believe: for example, that Iraq had nuclear weapons and mobile biological weapons laboratories and that the secular Saddam Hussain had ties with the fundamentalists of al-Qaeda.
As Gates points out, the charge of anti-Semitism is used to misdirect and intimidate. As the criminality he documents becomes transparent, moderate Jews in fact are emerging as allies. The Zionist component—which Gates convincingly portrays as ideology in the service of criminality—has as its goal an extensive, Jews-only realm in an oil-rich region.
The facts confirm that Tel Aviv will never agree to peace with the Palestinians, as that would preclude their expansionist agenda for a Greater Israel. An oft-employed "entropy strategy" remains Israel's means to preclude settlement of the conflict. Indeed, Huntington's Clash of Civilizations is revealed as only the latest in a long series of manipulations—each of which is designed to ensure a plausible evildoer. Meanwhile, fundamentalist Jews catalyze serial conflicts of opposites, while this transnational criminal syndicate profits off the misery of both.
US-Israel Relations: New Horizons or Same Matrix of Control?


Yep as I mentioned in a recent post you really need to use it or lose it! Missed it then you can read it here.
I was as bike fit as I ever have been less than 6 months ago and now… NOT!
Ok, I'm not as unfit as I was 12 months ago but I used loads of excuses reasons over the last few months not to ride my bike and now I am feeling it.
I'll start again next week, on Monday, next month….
We've all got loads of reasons excuses not to start something but we usually know deep down they are a load of rubbish and just an excuse!
What's your best excuse not to start? Which one are you using today?
Let me know - I'd love to have another one to add to my list and I'll see if I can help you overcome it!
In the next few posts I'll look at some typical excuses that I (and dare I say it you) have used and look at ways to overcome them.
My step ladder isn't long enough – just trying another one….


To Make America Great Again we must close all American military bases in other countries, reduce the size of the US military by at least 50 percent, stop inciting wars, and eliminate our nuclear weapons. If we offer to eliminate our weapons, it would make negotiating with other countries to reduce and eliminate their nuclear arsenals much easier.
The quest to stop climate change and reinvigorate the ecosystems all people depend upon only works if it is based on justice as well as good science. Decentralizing the power system and only using non polluting power sources will clean the air of the pollutants that kill directly as well as the CO2 that kills down the road. It is a good place to start. Recently we have been reminded that we need to get to zero carbon emissions by 2035 if we are going to be able to grow enough food for 9 billion of us and survive the storms and droughts. That means we stop building any new fossil fuel infrastructure. We will not get to zero in 20 years if we build fossil fuel power plants with 40 year life expectancies.

Which Canucks tend to slow down in the back half of the season?
The Canucks hit the All-Star break in a place few expected them to be at the start of the season: in the playoff hunt.
Admittedly, it's still a long shot, with at least seven teams conceivably competing for two Wild Card spots, but the Canucks will take those odds. It helps that the Western Conference in general, and the Pacific Division in particular, is a hot mess. One hot streak to end the season could easily mean a playoff berth.
2018-19 Canucks will depend on youth for offence; is it too much to ask?
For the Canucks to go on that kind of hot streak, a lot of things will have to go right: Jacob Markstrom and Thatcher Demko will need to provide excellent goaltending down the stretch; the defence needs to improve the transition game to spend less time in their own zone; and, with limited offensive depth, the Canucks can't afford to have anyone's offensive production slip.
There are many reasons why players would produce less as the season progresses. Players accumulate injuries throughout the season that they play through — few players are 100% by the end of the season. Others might struggle as he intensity picks up in the push for the playoffs.
I was curious to see if anyone on the Canucks roster has a history of slowing down late in the season, so I turned to Hockey-Reference, which has splits for each player pre and post-All-Star Game. While the All-Star Game isn't the exact midpoint of the season, it's a convenient one for our purposes.
There's a general sense that after the All-Star Game is when things get serious. Teams that are pushing for the playoffs start to bear down and teams likely to finish on the outside begin wheeling and dealing in anticipation of the trade deadline. The Jake Muzzin trade, which happened on the Monday after All-Star Weekend, could be seen as the first shoe to drop in trade season.
So, let's look at the Canucks: how have they performed in their careers in terms of points-per-game before and after the All-Star break?
For the most part, there's minimal difference between players' production before and after the All-Star break. The Canucks currently on the roster, on average, put up 0.02 points per game fewer after the All-Star break, which means that players are mostly the same early and late in the season.
There are a few outliers, of course, but they're mostly the result of small sample sizes. Josh Leivo, for example, sees a huge jump in points-per-game after the All-Star break, but that's in a sample of just 23 games. Likewise, Brock Boeser has a big dip, but in just 25 games.
For players with larger samples, there isn't a huge range of change: Loui Eriksson has produced 0.04 points-per-game less after the All-Star break, while Derrick Pouliot has produced 0.04 points-per-game more.
But then we get to Antoine Roussel.
In his career, Roussel has 56 goals and 135 points in 350 games before the All-Star break. That's 0.39 points per game, which is high-end third-line production, bordering on low-end second-line production. After the All-Star break, however, he has just 13 goals and 25 points in 109 games: 0.23 points per game, which is firmly in fourth-line territory.
That's a pretty significant drop, and one that I can't readily explain.
Roussel is having a solid first season with the Canucks, shuttling up and down the lineup and providing agitation and a pinch of scoring wherever he goes. He's on-pace for 32 points, which would be a career high, and leads Canucks forwards in scoring chance differential at 5-on-5, according to Natural Stat Trick.
The Canucks need players like Roussel, Loui Eriksson, Jake Virtanen, Sven Baertschi, and Markus Granlund to provide some secondary scoring down the stretch to supplement the primary scoring from Elias Pettersson, Bo Horvat, and Brock Boeser. If Roussel drops off, that will take a chunk out of their offensive arsenal.
Perhaps it's nothing to worry about. Roussel's drop off could just be statistical noise. It's possible that Roussel will get opportunities in the top-six alongside Horvat or Pettersson and will score even more. It's just something to keep an eye on.
As for Pettersson, we obviously don't have any NHL data on him from after the All-Star break, but we can look to how he performed in the SHL last season. Prior to the date of the NHL All-Star break, Pettersson had 15 goals and 40 points in 32 games, for 1.25 points per game. After that, he had 9 goals and 16 points in 12 games, for 1.33 points per game. Then he put up 1.46 points per game in the playoffs.
Let's just say that I'm not worried about Pettersson.


Best Electric Car Cities In US?
I'm a big fan of ranking… just like the rest of you. However, I generally hate that most rankings are presented in absolute terms rather than relative terms. For example, there are many rankings of the "best electric car cities" based on the total number of electric cars, total number of public electric car charging stations, etc. Much better would be if these cities we ranked based on electric cars per capita or electric car charging stations per capita.
Luckily, ChargePoint gets that. ChargePoint is the company with the nation's largest electric vehicle charging station network. On Friday, it released a ranking of the best electric vehicle (EV) cities "based on the number of EVs owned as well as the number of public charging stations available on the ChargePoint network," and it made sure to calibrate those with population! ChargePoint, I love you.
Indeed, 100% electric car sales grew 447.95% January–September 2013 compared to January–September 2012. That's big. A number of states just last week teamed up in an effort to dramatically increase the number of electric vehicles on their roads. You've got to be a little slow to think that electric cars are not the future of the automobile.

Q: How to pivot this BA21 YEAR   109 10  119 EBC
BA21 YEAR   9   0   9   FP
BA21 YEAR   3   0   3   BC

My data is like this  and I need to convert this to
BA21 YEAR 109 10 119 EBC 9 0 9 FP 3 0 3 BC

How to do this?

A: THis does not seem like PIVOTing, it more seems like a self join.
Something like
SELECT t1.*,t2.column1,t2.column2,...,t3.column1,t3.column2,...
FROM Table1 t1 INNER JOIN
Table2 t2 ON t1.PrimaryKey = t2.PrimaryKey INNER JOIN
Table3 t3 ON t1.PrimaryKey = t3.PrimaryKey

where you are selecting only the columns from Table2 and Table3 that you need.
Also, this can be changed to LEFT joins if required. Have a look at Introduction to JOINs – Basic of JOINs for JOIN explenations.

The search for an instantly recognisable, covetable and timeless logo is the Holy Grail of the fashion world — particularly in menswear where the desire to belong is reflected in a love for branding and badges. Countless hours are spent in design studios (and board rooms) trying to find a new version of the polo player, the crocodile or the multistripe, usually with results that feel contrived or unconvincing.
It's reassuring to know then that the little abstracted teddy bear head that has been appearing on sweatshirts and knitwear of some of the better dressed urban guys over the past few seasons was the result of happenstance. Fresh from winning the prestigious Dansk Design Talent award in 2015, Tonsure created a few pieces of outerwear made from a teddy bear fabric from iconic toy makers Steiff. Running with the idea, small bears were attached to the garments and a rather surreal ad campaign featured models wearing full bear head masks, and before long, the ursine creature became the mascot of the brand, popping up as a subtle badge on a cardigan or as an art installation in the showroom.
— We didn't really intend to do a logo or even think it was necessary but people connected to it and thought it was nice and the teddy became one, remembers Malte Flagstad, the company founder and designer. — Now it feels right to have him on some of the more basic pieces in the collection. The creation of the logo, far from being the result of a corporate branding brainstorm, is perhaps one of the more striking — and indeed charming — examples of Flagstad's keen ability to go by instinct rather than follow a formula.

"We didn't really intend to do a logo or even think it was necessary
but people connected to it and thought it was nice and the teddy became one"
That instinct was at the very genesis of Flagstad's career. Working in Copenhagen providing props for TV advertisements, and despite no knowledge or previous interest in the world of fashion, he decided to join a friend in London and apply to study menswear at the world famous Central Saint Martins college. With a hastily compiled portfolio presented in a backpack, he managed to not only get an interview but then proceeded to be offered a coveted place. A three year bachelors degree was followed by a masters before moving to Paris to work for Maison Margiela, just as the house was reorganising itself following the departure of its eponymous founder. The following two years proved to be a somewhat intense experience that left Flagstad exhausted and on the point of burn-out though also appreciative of the learning experience it afforded him.
— Instead of working on one product group such as shirts or trousers like in many of the bigger houses, at Margiela we had to do everything and that was a real privilege, and it is certainly something that lead to a realisation that I should do something myself. I needed to find my own voice.
After a period travelling, Flagstad returned to Denmark and in 2013 started Tonsure. As well as being the Latin word for trimming or cutting, a tonsure is also the name of the shaved bald spot on monks, something he finds both amusing — "When people google us, the competition is monks!" — and which also has the connotations of brotherhood and belonging so central to menswear.
The first collection was bought by United Arrows, one of Tokyo's go-to stores that acts almost as a thermometer of what is hot in retail, and two years later came the Dansk prize. Although this gave the brand much needed publicity and finally drew it to the attention of the domestic market, Flagstad is the first to state that it was a dual-edged sword.
— It meant that people found out who we were and what we were doing but the trouble was that commercially we were far from ready. We couldn't translate this kind of recognition into actual sales.
"We want to be a consumer darling not an industry darling", says Tonsure CEO Josef Lützen.
"We don't want to promise without being able to execute"
An uncompromising approach to design (an ill-advised no-t-shirts policy for example) coupled with a naivety about the working of the market meant that Tonsure failed to capitalise on the early promise and despite producing increasingly mature and wearable collections and garnering a loyal band of followers, the brand looked set to join the legions of once-loved but soon forgotten labels that fizzle out after a few seasons. Then came that little teddy and at the same time an increased understanding of the need for interesting basics that can form a sellable raft on which the more avantgarde or directional pieces stand.
This in turn lead to new financial investors who could see the actual sales potential of Flagstad's undeniable talent and the appointment as CEO of Josef Lützen, with his background in nurturing brands such as Samsøe Samsøe and Why Red. Declaring an intention to be "a consumer darling not only an industry darling", Lützen has outlined a new strategy based on having an actual physical presence (as opposed to a solely digital and online one) and a schedule of 'Teddy Tours', pop-up stores and strong presentations all backed by Flagstad's ever-stronger design work are already pushing the brand forward. It's a carefully considered plan that Lützen strongly feels will pay off.
— We don't want to promise without being able to execute it, he states. Now the product is focussed and our visuals are in line — we just need to now increase brand awareness Maybe that means that soon another, more sartorial bear will be joining the likes of Paddington and Rupert in our collective conscience?
